HOW I KEPT
My COJVT'RACT
Original. 1
I was tinder contract to have a cer
tain work done by a certain time in
Indian Territory. If I finished It ac
cording to ngreemeiit I would make n
email fortune. If I failed my forfeit
was so largo that my work would not
pay me. There was hut one reason
why I should fail, and that was alco
hol. I couldn't keep my men sober.
There was plenty of prohibition la
tho territory and Just as much liquor.
All sorts of poisonous stuff was
brought in surreptitiously, diluted
wood alcohol being consumed in large
quantities. It was all broti.-:ht by ped
dlers across the line from Oklahoma.
1 watched with the greatest care to see
that none of it was sold about my
camp, but for my life I couldn't pre
vent it. I never saw any one sell liquor
and never saw the men Urink It. The
first thing 1 knew they were all drunk.
Then work must be stopped till they
got SOlM'l'.
I was going by the supply store one
morning and saw a peddler sitting ou
a keg. -Always on the lookout, I asked
him what was In it. He told uie that
It was kerosene, and on my demanding
to sample it he put In a spigot and J
drew kerosene true enough. Neverthe
less that night the men were all drunk.
I went to the store and, looking over
the stock of barrels anil such like,
found a number with false bottoms. A
small compartment at one eud smelt of
kerosene; the rest smelt of whisky.
After that I Inspected every article
that could hold liquid when it came
Into camp. For awhile I kept out
liquor and kept the uieu at work. Dur
ing this period I made great headway
and felt sure that if I could continue it
I should mako good my contract and
pocket enough funds to enable me to
live as I liked for the rest of my life.
My work must be finished by the
loth of April, and on the 15th of Feb
ruary I knew that fifty days' more
steady work would be ample for the
purpose. But early In March the men
got on a spree, which was repeated,
the sprees occurring nearer and nearer
together as the spring advanced. I
watched the supply store, but could
discover nothing likely to contain
liquor. Butter and eggs were coming
In, but in the spring one always looks
for these articles, and there was noth
ing suspicious about either of them.
On the 20th of March the men were
all drunk. If I could get them sober
at once and keep them sober I could
complete my contract; If not I was
doomed. There was a pretty Mexican
girl near my camp with whom I had
spent mony an evening very happily.
On the evening In March mentioned,'
to get rid of the sight of the drunken
men and to get my mind off my disap
pointment, I went over to see little
Margarita Parres.
"What is the matter, senor? You
look as if some great calamity were
upon you."
I told her of my troubles.
"What will senor give to know how
the men get their liquor?" She looked
at me roguishly. She was bewitching.
"My heart," I replied on the Impulse.
"What use Is the heart without the
hand?" she asked, her eyes dancing
with mischief.
"The heart, though given and de
clined. Is still in the keeping of the re
cipient. The hand offered and declin
ed reinntus with the giver."
She arose and went Into the next
room. There I heard her opening doors
belonging to cupboards and sideboards
and the clink of glasses. I supposed
she was Intending to bring me some
fluid refreshment. What was my sur-'
prise to uee her return with a couple
of eggs each In an eggcup. They were
on a tray, and there was a sliver spoon
for each egg.
"I only finished my supper half an
hour ago," I said.
. "But you have not had anything to
wash it down."
"Wash It down with a boiled og?"
"We fchnll see."
Setting the tray ou u table, she push
ed one of tho e;.:gs toward me. I broke
the shell at the small eud with the
spor.i, while she did the same with
the other egg.
"Senor, your good health." she said,
raising her egg to her lips.
There was the unmistakable odor of
whibHj under my uose. 1 sipped from
the eggshell and sipped whisky. The
girl set her egg on the table without
tasting It. I looked nt her questlon
lugly. "Don't you understand?" she said.
"No."
"The eggs that ore coming In are
Shells full of whisky."
I reached across the table and caught
her In my arms, then hurried away to
the supply store, where I found many
dozen eggshells, both full and emptied,
of liquor. I took up one of the empty
shells and found that it was a good
Imitation of an eggshell made of plas
ter of parts. Each shell held one drink.
I smashed all the full ones I could find
and forbade the sale of eggs In camp
from that day forward.
This was the last trouble was
destined to encounter from liquor. I
finished my work on the day I had
contracted to finish it, though I had
to pay the men extra wages during the
Ir,? flays, and made a small for
tune. I did not see Margarita Ferres till
after I had completed my work and
settled -my accounts. If I should not
succeed I didn't intend to see her; If I
did succeed I Intended, if she would,
that she should share it with me.
When I called upon her I took a check
for half my profit and asked her to
choose between it and myself.
She chose me.

NETS FOR WHALES.
Made of Three-qunrter Inch Wire
Hope In Six Foot McnIicm.
If I did not have photographs to of
fer as proof, I might hesitate to put
upon a fairly well established reputa
tion for veracity the strain of standing
for the assertion that tho business of
catching whales not baby whales, but
big sixty foot right whales in nets Is
carried on In the south Pacific.
The biggest fish stories ever told may
lie heard by the wanderer In southern
seas, and some of the most amazing
of them are literally true. This whale
netting yarn Is n it strictly a fish story,
because a whale Is not really a fish,
mid It Is not the most startling of the
collection In my south sea notebook.
but let It go as a fish story.
Wanganiumn Is n little bay on the
east coast, a few miles south of n
prominent cape, which Juts out to the
northeast ai:d might easily be mis
taken for the northeastern extremity
of the North Island. During May and
June the nntnrctle whale migrates
north Into warmer waters, and It seems
probable that there Is some pet of cur
rents around the headland of Wangn
niuniu which deceives him Into seek
ing a passage to tho Tasman sea by
boring Into the shore at that point.
Whatever mav be the cause, the fact
Is that schools of whales hug the shore
and pass very close to a great Jutting
rock at Wangauiuinn.
Straight out Into the sea from the
point of rocks Is stretched the whale
net, made of three-quarter inch wire
rope In , six foot mesh, each no th be
ing Yornied of separate section:' of rope
attached to Iron corner rings, taking
the places of knots. The top edge of
the net Is held close to the surface by
barrels serving as buoys. A whale
cruising along the shore gets his head
through a niesh. and Instead of at
tempting to buck out he rushes for
ward and entnngles himself hopelessly
In the net. One of my photographs
shows a whale rushing Into the net
and dragging the shoreward buoy
through tho water with much commo
tion. Close to the shore can be seen
the disturbance of the surface caused
by the dragging under of the shore end
of the upper wire rope.
From a lookout station on the top of
the headland a watcher signals the ap
proach of whales, and the lmats then
put off and lie In wait. An entangled
whale carries away the. net with his
rush, but the great weight of the wire
rope ami the drag of a long line of
buoys Impede him, and Instend of hold
ing out to sea and going away at great
speed with the whole outfit he thrashes
about and soon gets fins and flukes en
tangled, when the boat approaches and
the whalers finish the business with
harpoon and lance, as In the old days.

Lunatic.
A "prominent" English physician bus
discovered that the time Is coming
kwhen there will be more lunatics than
sane persons in the world. Statistics,
of course, show this, as they will show
anything that Is good for advertising
purposes. They will show that we live
longer, that our general average of
physical health Is better and that we
grow bigger than our ancestors, but
that our minds ore going to the bow
wows. We suspect from some of the
things like the above, written by great
"alienists," that it takes a lunatic to
detect lunacy, as a thief to catch a
thief.
The American "Way.
How an American machinery agent
secured an order In Japan Is related by
the commercial agent of New South

was a question of some lathes for a
large factory which was being started.
They were required of a certain size.
The agent for the British firm said.
"That Is three Inches longer than they
are made, and we can make no altera
tion." The American said, "I will
make them to any size you like." The
American secured the order. United

The ancient rpcsthvi. "Who breaks a

for this purpose is a light fowling piece

may seem ridiculous to advocate the
shooting of butterflies, but an Insect
with such a large wing expanse affords
a very good target."

Cutting Glass Without a Diamond.
Glass cfi be cut without a diamond,
and the way is very simple. Dtp a
piece of common string In alcohol and
squeeze it reasonably dry. Then tie the
string tightly around the glass on the

Many years ago the people of Egypt
worshiped the cat. They thought that
she was like the moon, because she

sometimes only a little bright crescent
or half moon. So these people made
au Idol with the cat's head and named
It Tasht, the same name which they
gave the moon, for the word means the
