For ouco Frank's appetite failed
him. Tho work ox beefsteak and de
lectable flapjack were not to his lik
ing. His. muscular neighbor noticed
it and said, “Better eat sump'u, or
you'll never stand it till noon."
Frank felt grateful for tho consider
ation, but did not act upon the ud-
vioo; whereupon his friend plied
him with the coffeepot saying,
( “Horo, then, drink some o’ this to
' scald out yur coppers."' But no; tho
pains of a racking hoadacho and dis
ordered stomach wore not to,ho
.soothed by cafo noir—vory much
noir and ninny tiinos warmed up—so
Frank got up and went out.
Ho seated himself on the bench in
front of tho cookhouse to wnit for
tlio others. Tho tnoruing air wus re
freshing, and it enabled him to think
coherently of the recont woeful oc
currence. - *
Ho remembered It all now—tho
white fronted sulpon at tho forks in
tlio road; tlio dingy, foul smelling
barroom; the cheap mirror and fix
tures, and the audacious pictures on
the walls; the card littered floor and
"iu rooking spittoons; tho click of
tlm poker chips and tho quaint origin
ality of some of the blasphemy.
Thou tho game. How lie did win
•at tho beginning, and now tho on-
■ lookers craned their necks to sco
how he discarded; and when he
"wont his whplo pile" on tbreo jacks,
•tud some one behind remarked,
in a low tone, “He's blooded, you
yoiV" how a fooling of confidence
nipt over him. "Thoro’s a home
:o to ho won right hero and now,"
had said to himself. But tho
itea willed it otherwise, for Lucky
ib "called” him, and tho “show
iwu" displayed three queens from
hand of tho tatter, which ended
game for Frank. But they flllod
in up with "forty-rod" by wuy of
consolation, tual ho struck out for
oump by tho light of tho moon.
Tho railroad track, ho remembered
thinking, must surely he narrowor
'titan standard gauge and the ties un
necessarily clesq together, and thoro
was something wrong with the moon,
tor she hid'herself liohind a cloud
until he reached the high trestlo,
when suddenly she "m,veiled her
peerless light,” tbut. glittering in tlio
creek lielow, startled and perplexed
him. He had sat him down to eon
aider ; tall these mutters, and there
they,, had found him soliloquizing,
with many gestures and an occasion-
al apostrophe, to the inconstant
moon. He remembered their help
ing him homo and putting him to bed
—alns! to be aroused in too short a
time by the tooting of tho relentless
horn.
Tho retrospect ceased ns the crow
filed out from breakfast. Tlio fore
man stood by tho door, ond with
. thnt strangely retentive memory
• which many unlettered people pos-
. Bess mentally registered each who
went to work. Among the first
. was old Josh, the filer, who took
Ills position behind his bench, and
with arms folded and matutinal pipe
alight waited for tho .sun to climb n
littlo before loginning his daily tusk
- of iminting teeth and swedging rak
ers.
The crew, apart from the choppers
and peelers, was divided into two
gangs. Each gang had its comple
ment of sawyers, chain tenders and
L" -
swampers, and each had a donkey
engihe to haul the logs from their
hols, where the sawyers left them,
into the “snaking roods." The team
took charge of them from there on,
hauling from the two engines alter-
nately. Farther bock in the forest
ippers and peelers worked col
ly for the two "outfits.”

or worthless tree

llgh tor obstructing debris by hand.
Hu needed a sharpened saw. .Josh
must he interviewed. With a long
drawn sigh, ho arose and, walking
wearily across the track to Where
tho bench stood, mode known his
wants.
"How’s the country where you’re
workin now?” asked the old man.
"Steep," was tho brief reply.
“Here’s what you want, then,"
handing down the implement from
Its resting place against a huge
stump—“astiffbacked saw for aside-
ling country."
Just .then the "boss” came and
said; "Guess you won’t need that
today. Big John’s partner’s in town,
sick,* or drunk, orsumthin, an you’d
better go an work in his place.”
No further instructions were need
ed. The opportunity had come at
last. To fell a redwood hod been
Frank's aim over since he hired out.
D;>-vping the "stiffback" uncere
moniously and forgetting all his
woee, he hurried off to overtake his
big friend of tho breakfast table.
It is expedient to adopt, for tho
time being and to a reasonable ex
tent, the Bpeech and manners of
those with whom our lot is oast.
Frank hod learned this by hitter ex
perience. His 1 ’grammar" and ‘ ’airs"
had been subjected to much ridicule
when first he came. He had long
since dispensed with both, and,
furthermore, lie now could wipe his
mouth with the back of hiB hand
after a meal and chew "sawlog plug”
with the liest of them.
He overtook his big friend at thd
brow of tho hill umong the logs and
rigging. Tlio donkey driver, or “en
gineer," us he proudly styles him
self, was busy getting up stonm, and
the pulsing of tho pump.contraBted
strangely with tho stillness of the
morning—such stillness that tho
smoke from the little engino went
straight up in a bright blue cloud.
Over tlio divide, in tho region beyond
Jordan, the pure morning light her
alded the sunrise.
Out of breuth, lie began with the
colloquial—
"Say I"
"Say it yorsclf, meson.”
“Bwout Lip suys for mo to work in
placo of Alec, who ain’t show'd up
this morning. "Sweet Lip” was a
nicknumo applied to the foretuun, on
account of ills ability to hirohigh
priced mon for less than standard
wages.
Alter an inquiry or two concern
ing his absent partner, John said
earnestly, "But, me sou, did yiz evor
chop any?"
“Suckers for skids, stringers, and
the Uke o’ that."
"There’s u big difference between
'hackin' down polos und 'failin' rid
woods.’"
Frank knew, hut he said nothing.
Tlio conversation becuiuo sparse, na
they had now to walk in single filo
along tho choppers’ troll, and all
signs of road work wore loft behind.
Tho way was over fallon trees and
around stumps, down ono Bide of a
canyon und up tho other, ending, at
lost, in the chopping at tho edge of
tlio greon timber.
"That 'un 'U be tho noxt.," said
John, pointing to an eight foot tree
.•f surpassing beauty. "She’s mid-
dlin soft, un the grain is straight—
you can toll that by the bnrk; an
she's sound us u dollar—tlio green
top shows it."
"Cold, premeditated murder,"
Frank said to himself, and then
aloud, “which way tiro you goin to
scud her?"
"Between them twostumps,” point
ing across tho lull. "Thoro ain't no
room to spare; hut if sho'sasnear
plumb us I think she is, I can land
■ hor safe enough." HO took n plumb
from his pocket, squinted up along
the extended lino ut tho tree, and
wu3 satisfied for he said, “Get Alec's
ax and snipe off tlio inner corners of
both them stumps while X tlx tlio
bedding.”
Both wore soon busy, John felling
a couple of arrowy firs, which he
uftorward cut up into movable
lengths to be used in filling up a liol
low that wus in the lino of direction,
while Frank rounded off the stumps
as instructed.
Tho noxt thing, after the hod was
made, was tho construction of tho
staging or scaffold. They cut soekot
holes in tho tree and inserted'the
supports known as "drivers." Across,
from driver to driver, the * stage
boards were placed, and on theso the
men now stood. Tho undercutting
began when tho big man, with the
corner of his ax, had scratched a lino
on tho face of tlio tree to indicate tho
height and extent of the notch. The
fibrous, springy bnrk is hold to cut,
and keen axee will often bounce back
without making a risible incision.
"you’ll have to hit a more slanting

effect w;is almost disastrous. Frank

Mr. Jonathan Staybolt hod no per
sonal objections to young Rudolph
Gigsby, who was courting his daugh
ter Clara, but he did wish that Mr.
Gigsby would go home a little ear
lier. Winding the clock, that time
honored hint to lovers, had no effect
upon him,, but Mr. Staybolt thought
that' a sudden great uproar in the
house might prove sufficiently dis
turbing to make him think that it
was about time to go. His plan was
to roll the washboiler down the
bock stairs. Mrs. Staybolt did not
enter very heartily into that plot,
but she lot him have tho boiler.
He carried it up stairs early in the
evening, nnd at 11 o’clock lie started
it. It made as much noise ns though
it had been a railroad through the
house. Mr. Staybolt exacted in. the
intense stillness that followed to
hear Mr. Gigsby step out into the
hall for his hat nnd overcoat, but in
stead of that he heard him say to
Claras "Goodness I How careless it
was to leave that boiler where 1!
would fall like that. It's almost
sure to get dented.”
Then Mr. Staybolt gave it up, and
he never knew until after the young
people were married that Mrs. Stay-
bolt had told Clara about tbo boiler
hours beforo he started it rolling.—

A box threo feet long by nearly three

end a copper one wore placed, and
were united outside by a copper

square. By the chemical action on
the zinc plate, a current passed
through tho earth toward the copper
plate, and returning by tho copper
wire mndo a circuit. The box was
thus a very simple coll or battepr.
Seeds were sown in the soil be

was much more rapid than that of
