As early as ? o'clock the captain bad given up all hope of taking his vas sal out before morning, and he, the purs er and the first mate settled down to a session at draw poker. The tlrst mat# had just dealt out a hand when the cabin door flew open with a bang, and old "Commodore" Brainerd came ia with a gust of wind that sent the cards whirling from the table. "Well, I'll be darned!" exclaims* the captain, stunned with surprise. "What are you doing out a night like this?" "1 was over on the Sary Jane whea the blow came up," said the "commo dore' as he started to take eff his old rain coat, "an 1 jest thought I'd come over an tell you how glad you ought t» be that you ain't out tonight. I done 28 years' service on the lakes, but I aevet seen as wild a night as this before." The "commodore" was known fro as «m« end ef the great lakes to the other. He was nearing the threescore and tea mark, and for five years he had not bsen In active service. It had been said that he was familiar with every shoal and eddy In the chain of lakes, and his advice was often sought by some ef the eldest captains In the service. He loved the water and the vessels, and to re main away from them was a hardship. The "commodore" was always wel come on the vessels, for aside from bit worth as an advice giver be was a cap ital story teller. His supply «112 yarns teemed to be Inexhaustible, and be was In his glory when he was "spinnln." "This ulgbt," said the "commodore" aa bt walked over to the cabin window, "makes a sailor wish he was in some other business. Butfl like It—ln port." The old man's presence bad killed the interest In draw poker, and the captain began to fish for a story. "I reckon you've had plenty to do with bad blows like this on the open, haven't you?" asked the captain. "I been out when a feller needed an umbrella an a string to keep his hat en with," said the old sailor modestly. "It was Jest about such a night as this that my hair stood on ends for the first an only time In my life." The vessel men were silent, but their faces looked askance.

In South America tho retail price for 1 the better grades of chocolate averages about $1 a pound, while 111 Italy, j France, England and In the United t States the better grades sell at a much lower price. In America the ordinary choeolate of trade sells for about one third of the price that Is charged for It where it Is produced. The cause of this, the producers say, Is that the original product Is adulterated greatly before reaching Its final market, a cheaper article than the cocoa bean constituting tbe large proportion of 90 per cent of the chocolates of commerce. The cocoa bean from which chocolate is manufactured is produced in its tin- | est form in Venezuela, though various other parts of Central and South Amer- ' lea grow and export large quantities.

The chain of mountains abounds In pictur esque scenes, evergreen trees, gigantic and medium sized, and fuzzy little thick ets of diminutive saplings clothe the en tire range, barring the bald, snow capped peaks and the acres cleared by the hand of man. The State I.ine sawmills are perhaps as well known as any other on the Truckce river, a stream that runs a dozen or more like Institutions along the eastern slopes of the sierras. For a matter of convenience the site of the State Line mills Is situated on the banks of the Truckee and within a few hundred feet of the Southern Pacific railway, in suring an abundance of water power and a ready means of shipping lumber. But the logging camp is perched way up near the snow line, and access to it is impos sible by vehicle on account of the steep, broken contour of the mountainous dis trict. Of course it is very essential that the logging camp be kept well supplied with provisions, and, as there are never fewer than 30 hearty and vigorous men employed at their various tasks prepar ing the virgin forests for the saw, you can imagine what a quantity of food Is required to keep the larder well stocked. The mode of conveying all kinds of supplies to the airily located camp is by a train of seven pack mules —small, wiry creatures that are strong and agile and quite capable of carrying a burden equal to their own weight up the arduous moun tain trail that colls in a tortuous fashion from the mill up the high mountains to the rough log cabins which constituted the logger*' domain. A sight long to be remembered are these donkeys, laden with cumbersome pack saddles, piled high with miscellaneous goods, carefully pick ing their way up the dizzy trail. You wonder that such tiny creatures can etag jer under the loads, let alone their climb ing an slmost perpendicular ascent. It Is no easy thing to pilot a train of mules up a narrow mountain trail. They cannot be hurried out of a slow, slow walk, frequently coming to a halt and occasionally lying down In the middle of the trail. This last act Is exceedingly aggravating, as the pack has to be re moved before tho donkey can arise again. With all the trials and tribulations con nected thereto French Joe got along Bplendidly as muleteer of the State Line pack train —a big, cheerful man, with a deep, sonorous voice that each individual donkey had grown to understand. His "Hello, Jinny!" rang out line n ncn tonea bell and urged on the mules when a lash would not have availed in the least. Every day the trip had to be made. Besides the provisions for the men, there were 20 head of oxen and as many horses to be supplied with provender. One day the superintendent of the logging camp, while down on a visit to the mills, hap pened to observe a drove of pigs rooting tibout the boarding house. Ha suggested to his employers that it would be an ex cellent Idea to have a few of them up at camp, as there was plenty of refuser from the tables to keep them fat and his men would appreciate fresh pork now and then. The mill owners agreed with him, and so begins the real motive of this tale. It was next to impossible to drive pigs along a wide, level roadway. It was ut terly impossible to drive them up the mule trail. How, then, could these ten fat young porkers, weighing from 50 to 75 pounds each, bo transported from their present field to the logging camp? The men gave it up as an unsolved rid dle. Just then French Joe's voice sang out a loud "Holloa, Jinny!" and the su perintendent exclaimed: "Thepack mules! That's the thing. Box the pigs up and load 'em on Joe's donkeys. What could be simpler?" Easily said, but the weary corps of men that caught and boxed those slip pery, noisy shotes declared that it was the hardest day's work they ever experi enced. French Joe wore a look of dis gust. "Morbleu! I nevair before see ze pig packed ze mule on. Nevair, by garl" Nevertheless the crated porkers were hoisted upon the pack saddles, two for each mule. Barring an occasional grunt or a faint squeal, the pigs, tired out after their valiant struggles against capture, gave no signs of displeasure at their pe culiar position. The funny little donkeys, accustomed to burdens varying from fresh meat to cord wood, seemed quite In different to the oddness of their live freight. French Joe's good natured smile wreathed his broad face once more as he beheld the comical array of pig laden mules. "It ees verra funny, zis ting, but It ees again like what I nevair Bee before. iCe mule will not pleased be if ze pig tqueal in ze ears." The afternoou was well advanced when Joe sang out his "Holloa, Jinnyl Come, Cayuse!" which started tho mule train on its difficult climb up the mountain trail. The trail zigzags beneath tower ing pines up a very steep slope, then it winds along a canyon for a mile, ascends another pitch and finally traverses a broad, wooded plateau, comparatively level, at the extreme end of which, on a slight rise, Is the logging camp. French Joe always rode in the wake of the train on a mouse colored donkey. The narrowness uf the trail prevented him from passing the burdened aulmals, so he had to content himself with shouting vociferously at the mules as they slowly moved over their daily route. In spite of all his precautions one beast calmly laid down at the steepest part of the first pitch. Joe was compelled to remove tho pig freight and clumsy pack saddle before the erring mule could regain au upright position. In the first place the train had started late. This delay and the uncom mon dellberateness of the whole string of mules consumed a great deal more time. J<\e's stock of patience began to ebb. Ills ready tongue poured forth a surprising jUiixturc of French and English Interjec tions as tho twilight threw gloomy shad ows throughout the silent forest. When the lead mule topped the final declivity and passed beneath the great pines which studded the plateau, it was quite dark. Now Joe thought It ample time to use other means than his voice to urg« the slothful donkeys onward, so he alighted from his riding animal, gathered a pock etful of rocks and mounted again. He had practiced this method before and knew that a stinging blow from a stone had Its effect. Th« very ttrst stone he threw crashed Saving: Lives.

All th« I way up the consignment of swine had emitted scarcely a grunt, and such a piercing squeal, coming so suddenly from the stricken pig, electrified the staid don key upon whose back he was strapped. As Joe had prophesied, "ze mule will not pleased be If ze pig squeal In ze ears." The mule snorted hoarsely. He jurnp- I rd forward against the one In front of him. The pig squealed again—a terrific, maddened squeal, that did not die away, but grew more ear splitting than at first, j Every mule in that heretofore snail-like train pricked up Its long ears. Those self same ears must have gathered In a great volume of that horrid din, for the lead donkey struck out on a lumbering trot, closely followed by the other thoroughly alarmed beasts. Towering pines bordered the trail; a pack saddle came in contact with a big tree trunk; another shrill scream joined in with the first. The Jolting, swaying i boxes, with their lusty lunged inmates, fairly shrieked, and the faster the mules ambled the more deafening waxed the dim old woods. What unearthly cries dispelled their wonted quietude! !••••••• Summer was in progress In the long, low boarding house at the logging camp. Two rows of tired, hungry men were busily making wonderful Inroads upon China Tom's well cooked viands. Tal low candles 6hed a dint light upon the ruddy faces of the "crew." "Now, Mike, you know there's no such thing as fairies or banshees. So what do you spin a yarn like that for?" "Oi sweer me grandfather hearn wan, 1 an didn't he tell me the truth, now, whin he says he did?" An animated conversation ensued. The I men dearly loved to hear Mike rant about , his queer superstitions and argued with him simply for that reason. In the heat I of the discussion China Tom appeared j at the door which opeued Into the kitchen, j He carried a dish of smoking suet pud ; ding in either hand. The Mongolian seemed uneasy; he hesitated and looked back over his shoulder. Some of the men noticed that his whole form shook violent ly. Before they had time to say a word the Chinaman let both dishes fall with ft ■ nrocii Mo nlmonrl eves glittered wildlv ! and he made a frantic dash for tne door. I Ills cue sailed out behind him in a 1 straight line, and as he disappeared the j men heard a gasping "Him debbil, sure! ] He catchee me!" "What's up with the heathen?" said some one. Through the chinks of the logs came a strange sound. Every man heard it. A chorus of discordant screams broke sharp ly on their ears. It grew louder, louder. A frightful calamity seemed Impending. The main volume split up. A piercing shriek, apparently borne on wings, cir cled about the cabin. Another uncanny cry rent the air from the direction of the stables. The woods were full of screech ing, screaming noises. "Catamounts!" yelled a burly logger. "Mary, inither! Save me sowl! It's the banshee! Och, it's the banshee!" The banshee! Did it not tally with Mike's vivid description of skurrying, whistling winds, of terrorizing cries, of dire premonitions? Mike fell upon his knees, praying audi bly and rapidly. No one directed a sin gle jeering remark toward the praying Irishman. The crew's jesting mood had vanished. They knew not what explana tion to offer in regard to these unnatural noises. A clatter of hoofs dashed up to the cabin, a heavy body threw itself against , the latched door, broke through and a huge man stood before them. "Ah, nior bleu! It ees one verra big ineestake, zis ting, I know." "Joe, holy smoke! Man, what have you been doing?" shouted the superin tendent. "Ze pigs zat m'sieur wished that I bring up are arrived, and zey squeal In ze mule's ear, and sco mule he run away." "Han away with the plgsl Where are they now?" "Oh, m'sieur, it ees not easy to say! It ees verra necessaire for us all togo look." A relieved laugh resounded through the candle lit dining room. Mike arose sheep ishly from his knees. Inn short time lanterns were twin kling midst the forest aisles—here, there, everywhere. The men had no difficulty In locating the strnngely burdened mules, for spasmodic squeals still echoed through the woods. When the seven donkeys were corralled, it was found that three or four boxes had burst open, liberating the pigs. The men made merry as the re mainder of Joe's freight was turned loose In an unoccupied stable. As the superintendent suggested, the loggers fully appreciated the fresh pork ! now and then. China Tom served It out to them in many different styles, and to j give zest to their hearty meals they de j lighted iu dubbing the crisp, brown roasts, savory stews and spareribs "bak ed banshees," "stewed catamounts" and "broiled debbils." —Argonaut Squared.

Draft horses of good form sell ;il most according to weight, except that as weights increase prices rise at a much greater ratio, so that extreme weights bring enormous prices if only the bom- is satisfactory.

These prices are sometimes exceeded, and dealers insist that price were never so low that a span of draft horses would not bring stiuo if only they were good eii :_li. This is par excellence the liorse for the farmer to raise Only the blood of the best draft breeds and the heaviest and best boned stallions is suitable.

People who only know the gayer side of Dieppe would be surprised to hear of ihe existence of the cave dwellers there. One Is apt to connect such peo ple with the knawed bones and flint Implements of prehistoric tluoes. But here they are at Dieppe within a stone's throw of the casino, and they may be seen any day about the town selling the shellfish from the rocks outside their habitations. They have certain marked characteristics, one being a pe culiar complexion of their own that can be traced largely to a disinclina tion on the part of the cave dweller to avail himself of the water that washes so close to his door. Their language also Is peculiar, but whether It really belongs to the stone age no one seems to have discovered.
