YOUTHFUL MIND AT WORK. Deduction Mother Must Have Found Somewhat Hard to Combat. Miss Marjorle, aged five years. Is one of those bright children who make the lives of their parents and teach ers a burden. Quite recently she paid her first visit to a kindergarten. Upon her return home she grew enthusi astic, begging her mother to allow her to attend the school regularly. "It was so very nice!" she declared eweetly. "And the teacher, Miss Lee, so very nice, too! She told me if 112 was a good little girl I would grow up into a pretty lady, but if 1 was naughty I would grow up an ugly one!" "That is quite true, dear," her moth er answered with a smile. Silently Miss Marjorle regarded the fire of pine logs. Presently she burst out: "Then what a naughty, naughty little girl Miss Lee must have been." —The Bohemian. BRINGING HIM OUT. Asker—How is it you never speak to Duffly?

CHAMBERS | ... I I y Illustrations by J. J. Sh~ridan % t % (Copyright, G. 1". Putnam's Sons.) SYNOPSIS. Tho story opens In New York. Roy Car denhue, tho story-teller, inspecting a queer reptile owned by George Godfrey of Tiffany's. Roy and Harris and Pierpont, two friends, depart on a hunting trip to Cardinal Woods, a rather obscure local ity. Harris revealed the fact that lie had Joined the secret service for the purpose of running down a gang of gold makers, l'rof. LaGrange, on discovering the rung's formula, had been mysteriously killed. Harris received a telegram of in structions. He and Pierpont set out to locate the gold making gang. A valet re ported seeing a queer Chinaman in the supposedly untenanted woods. Hoy went hunting. He fell asleep in a dell. (In awakening he beheld a beautiful girl at a small lake. A birthmark, resembling a dragon's claw, on Roy's forehead had a mysterious effeet upon the girl, who said her name was Vsonde. Suddenly she dis appeared. Fleeing In terror Roy beheld a horrible Chinese visage peering at him from the woods. Harris and Pierpont re turned. Harris exhibited a reptile, like that owned by Godfrey. A ball of sup posed gold, lie held, suddenly became alive. CHAPTER V.—Continued. "And who the devil is Yue-Laou?" I said, crossly. "You-Laou —the Moon Maker, Dzil- Nbu of the Kuen-Yuin; it's Chinese mythology, but it is believed that Yue-Laou has returned to rule the Kuen-Yuin —" "The conversation," interrupted Pierpont, "smacks of peacock feath ers and yellow-jackets. The chicken pox lias left its card on Roy, and Harris is guying us. Come on, you fellows, and make your call on the dream-lady. Harris, I hear galloping; here come your men." Two mud-splashed riders clattered up to the porch and dismounted at a motion from Harris. I noticed that both of them carried repeating rifles and heavy Colt's revolvers. The followed Harris, deferentially, into the dining-room, and presently we heard the tinkle of plates and bot tles and the low hum of Harris' musi cal voice. Half an hour later they came out again, saluted Pierpont and me, and galloped away in the direction of the Canadian frontier. Ten minutes passed, and, as Harris did not appear, we rose and went into the house, to find him. He was sitting silently be fore the table, watching the small golden globe, now glowing with scar let and orange fire, brilliant as a live coal. Howlett, mouth ajar and eyes starting from the sockets, stood petri fied behind him. "Are you coming?" asked Pierpont, a little startled. Harris did not answer. The globe slowly turned to pale gold again—but the face that Harris raised to ours was white as a sheet. Then he stood up and smiled, with an effort which was painful to us all. "Give me a pencil and a bit of pa per," he said. Howlett brought it. Harris went to the window and wrote rapidly. He folded the paper, placed it in the top drawer of his desk, locked the drawer, handed me the key, and motioned us to precede him. When again we stood under the maples, he turned to me with an im penetrable expression. "You will know when to use the key," he said. "Come, Pierpont, we must try to find lioy's fountain." CHAPTER VI. At two o'clock that afternoon, at Harris' suggestion, we gave up the search for the fountain in the glade and cut across the forest to the spin ney where David and Howlett were waiting with our guns and the three dogs. Pierpont guyed me unmercifully about the "dream-lady," as he called her, and, but for the significant coin cidence of Ysonde's and Harris' ques tions concerning the white scar on my forehead, I should long ago have been perfectly persuaded that I had dreamed the whole thing. As it was, 1 had no explanation to offer. We had not been able to find the glade although 50 times I came to land marks which convinced mo that we were just about to enter it. Harris was quiet, scarcely uttering a word to either of us during the entire search. I had never before seen him depressed in spirits. However, when we came in sight of the spinney where a cold bit of grouse and a bottle of Burgundy awaited each, Harris seemed to recov er his habitual good humor. "Here's to the dream-lady!" said Pierpont, raising his glass and stand ing up. 1 did not like it. Even if she was only a dream, it irritated me to hear Pierpont's mocking voice. Perhaps Harris understood—l don't know, but he bade Pierpont drink his wine with out further noise, and that young man obeyed with a childish confidence which almost made Harris smile. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1909. "What about the snipe, David," 1 asked; "the meadows should be in good condition." "There is not a snipe on the mead ows, sir," said David, solemnly. "Impossible," exclaimed Barris, "they can't have left." "They have, sir," said David, in a sepulchral voice, which I hardiy rec ognized. We all three looked at, the old man curiously, waiting for his explanation of this disappointing but sensational report. David looked at Howlett and How ie! t examined the sky. "I was going," began the old man, wiih his eyes fastened on Howlett, "1 was going along by the spinney with the dogs when Howlett came waikin' very fast toward me. I heard a noise in the covert and I seen—in fact," continued David, "I may say he was runnin'. Was you runnin', How lett?" Howlett said "Yes," with a decor ous cough. "I beg pardon," said David, "hut I'd rather Howlett told the rest. He saw things which I did not." "Goon, Howley," commanded Pier pont, much interested. Howlett coughed again behind his large red hand. "What David say Is true," ho be- Kan; "I h'observed the dogs at a dis tance 'ow they was a workin', sir, and David stood a liglitin' of's pipe be'ind thcr spotted beech when I see a 'cad pop up in t lie covert 'oldin' a stick like 'e was 'hainiin' at the dogs, sir—" "A head holding a stick?" said Pier pont, severely.' "The 'ead 'nd 'ands, sir," explained Howlett, " 'ands that 'eld a painted stick—like that, sir. 'Owlett, thinks 1 to meself, this 'ere's queer, so I jumps in an' runs, but the beggar 'e seen nie an' w'en I comes alongside of David, 'e was gone. ' 'Ello, 'Owlett,' sez David, 'what the 'ell'—l beg pardon, sir—' 'ow did you come 'ere,' sez 'e very loud. 'Run!' sez I, 'the Chinaman is harryin' the dawgs!' 'For Gawd's sake, wot Chinaman?' sez David, h'aiinin' 'is gun at every bush. Then I thinks I see 'ini an' we run an' run, the dawgs a boundin' close to heel, sir, but we don't see no Chinaman." "I'll tell the rest," said David, as Howlett coughed and stepped in a modest corner behind the dogs. "Goon," said Karris, in a strange voice. "Well, sir, when Howlett and I stopped chasin', we was on the cliff overlooking the south meadow. I no ticed that there was hundreds of birds there, mostly yellow-legs and plover, and Howlett seen them, too. Then before I could say a word to Howlett, something out in the lake gave a splash as if the whole cliff had fallen into the water. I was that scared that I jumped straight into the bush and Howlett he sat down quick, and all those snipe wheeled up—there was hundreds—all a squealin' with fright, i—i rl [* v^yf [3 j rVrr# ■C) \ I . (2 "Barris Looked at His Watch and Closed It with a Snap." and the woodduck came liowlin' over the meadows as if the old Nick was behind." David paused and glanced medita tively at the dogs. "Goon," said Barris in the same strained voice. "Nothing more, sir. The snipe did not come back." "But that splash in the lake?" "I don't know what it was, sir." "A salmon? A salmon couldn't have frightened the duck and the snipe that way?" "Wo—oh, no, sir. If 50 salmon had jumped they couldn't have made that splash. Couldn't they, Howlett?" "No 'ow," said Howlett. "Roy," said Barris at length, "what David tells us settles the snipe shoot ing for to-day. I am going to take Pirepont up to the house. Howlett and David will follow with the dogs—l have something to say to them. If you care to come, come along; if not, go and shoot a brace of grouse for dinner and be back by eight if you want to see what Pierpont and I discovered last night." David whistled Gamin and Mioche to heel and followed Howlett and his hamper toward the house. I called Voyou to my side, picked up my gun and turned to Barris. "I will be back by eight," I said; "you are expecting to catch one of the goidmakers, are you not?" "Yes," said Barris, listlessly. Pierpont began to speak about the Chinaman, but Barris motioned him to follow, and nodding to me, took the path that Howlett and David had fol lowed toward the house. When they disappeared I tucked my gun under my arm and turned sharply into the forest, Voyou trotting close to my heels. In spite of myself the continued ap parition of the Chinaman made me nervous. If he troubled me again I had fully decided to get the drop ou him and find out what he was doing iu the Cardinal Woods. If he could give no satisfactory account of him' self I would march him into Barria as a gold-making suspect—l would march him in, anyway, I thought, and rid the forest of his ugly face. I won. dered what it was that David had heard in the lake. It must have been a big fish, a salmon, I thought; prob ably David's and Howlett's nerves were overwrought after their Celestial chase. A whine from the dog broke th« thread of my meditation and I raised my head. Then I stopped short in mj tracks. The lost glade lay straight be fore me. Already the dog had bounded inti it, across the velvet turf to the carve* stone where a slim figure sat. I sav my dog lay his silky head lovingl] against her silken kirtle; I saw he: face bend above him, and I caught my breath and slowly entered the sun lit glade. Half timidly she held out one white hand. "Now that you have come," she said, "I can show some more of my work. I told you that I could do other things besides those dragon-flies and moths carved here in stone. Why do you stare at me so? Are you ill?" "Ysonde," I stammered. "Yes," she said, with a faint color under her eyes. "I—l never expected to see you again," I blurted out, " —you —I—l— thought I had dreamed—" "Dreamed of me? Perhaps you did. Is that strange?" "Strange? N —no —but —where did you go when —when we were leaning over the fountain together? I saw your face—your face reflected beside mine and then —then suddenly I saw tha blue sky and only a star twinkling." "It was because you fell asleep," she said, "was It not?" "I—asleep?" "You slept—l thought you were very tired and I went back—" "Back?—where?" "Back to my home where I carve my beautiful images; see, here is one I brought to show you to-day." I took the sculptured creature that she held toward me, a massive lizard with frail claw-spread wings of gold so thin that the sunlight burned through and fell on the ground In flaming gilded patches. "Good heavens!" I exclaimed, "this is astounding! Where did you learn to do such work? Ysonde, such a thing is beyond price!" "Oh. I hope so," she said, earnestly, "I can't bear to sell my work, but my stepfather takes it and sends it away. This is the second thing I have done, and yesterday he said I must give It to him. I suppose he is poor." "I don't see how he can be poor if he gives you gold to model in," I said, astonished. "Gold!" she exclaimed, "gold! Hft has a room full of gold! He makes It." I sat down on the turf at her feet completely unnerved. "Why do you look at me so?" she asked, a little troubled. "Where does your stepfather live?" I said at last. "Here." "Here!" "In the woods near the lake. You could never find our house." "A house!" "Of course. Did you think I lived in a tree? How silly. I live with my stepfather in a beautiful house—a small house, but very beautiful. He makes his gold there, but the men who carry it away never come to the house, for they don't know where it is, and if they did they could not get In. My stepfather carries the gold in lumps to a canvas satchel. When the satchel is full he takes it out into the woods where the men live, and I don't know what they do with it. I wish he could sell the gold and be come rich, for then I .fould go back to Yian where all the gardens are sweet and the river flows under the thousand bridges." (TO BE CONTINUED.) LEAD IN WATER TURBINE WORK. Swiss the First to Develop Long Dis tance Electrical Power. Switzerland produces no coal and no iron. In the manufacture of ma chinery the raw material is nearly all brought from Germany, which also supplies the greater part of the coal. The tools used in the machine shops, however, are for the most part, made in America. The country has an enormous amount of water power, however, and in its development the Swiss have gained a prominence in the water tur bine work throughout the world, one firm being called upon to design the original water turbine which was in stalled at Niagara falls. Hand-in hand with this turbine development, practically the superlative in electrical engineering has been attained, and to day Swiss machinery is being sent to all parts of the world. The Swiss are able to maintain their position only through their superior technical knowledge, for which they are indebted to their engineering in stitutions. In their vast experience they lay claim to being the first to de velop the transmission of electrical power over long distances, and it is believed that before long all the Swiss state railways will be working under electrical power.
