FIRE IX WASHINGTON.
BELLIXGHAM, Wash., Oct. 12.
A special from Blaine says flames
broke out In H. J. Renktn5s Lumber
company'a plant here at 10:30
o'clock tonight and at midnight It
practically consumed the entire
plant, valued at 1250,000. The
flames, tanned by a strong southwest
wind, are being rapidly carried to
ward the Erie mill, a hundred feet
away, and the Morrison mill.
The plants of the Northwest Crab
Canning company, the city dock and
the Alnsworth and Dunn's canning
plant, are threatened. The firemen
are being assisted by hundreds of
volunteers and desperate efforts are
being made to save what Is believed
to be the possible destruction of the
whole of the water front.
If the plants are all destroyed the
total loss will run beyond a million
dollars. The origin of the fire Is
not known.
ADRIFT FIVE DAYS.
NEWPORT, Va., Oct. 12. Six
men are believed to have perished
and two others were saved only af
ter undergoing harrowing experi
ences while adrift at tea for five days
on a bit of wreckage as the result of
the British three-masted schooner Si
rocco going to pieces on a reef In
the West Indies ten days ago. The
two survivors. Mate Joseph Lalng
and Cook O. Roberts, were bronght
here on the British steamer Tiverton.
The Sirocco of Nassau, laden with I
railroad Iron, was bound from
Brunswick, Ga., to Wilson City, Ba
hamas. She ran Into an easterly gale
that was blowing with fearful force
on October 1, when off the Ba
hamas, and was- dismantled, and af
ter running before the wind until
noon of that day struck Mantella
reef and went to pieces. Captain
Munroe and the unfortunate five
with him were washed away with the
debris from the wreck.
Laing and Roberts grasped a por
tion of the poop deck and all drifted
together until evening, when they
separated, the captain and five dis
appearing. The two men on their Im
provised raft were tossed about until
last Monday noon. They were with
out water, food or sleep during all
that time. Finally they were sight
ed by the Tiverton and rescued.
1'ltKV TO GAMBLERS.
DALLAS. S. D., Oct. 12. It Is es
timated that 100 land-seekers who
have come to Dallas and Gregory
have lost their money at gaming
tables and are "broke." Many more
who have lost all their ready cash
have been forced to telegraph for
money.
Nearly 60,000 persons have regis
tered at these two points already,
and nearly as many more are expect
ed before the period of registration
closes. Hundreds return as quick as
they have registered, but thousands
have remained for the drawing.
Gamblers have operated their
games without restraint and are said
to have made remarkable winnings.
They run pell mell 24 hours a day,
with the games as strong at daybreak
as when the sun sets.
To be broke in this country means
something to a man, because he Is
without friends, generally, and at the
same time when It Is not easy to
make new ones. Every outgoing
train carries many men who have
lost their money and risk their lives
riding on brakebeams.
No land opening has ever brought
more people, and they all come with
money. Those who have the gamb
ling spirit stick to the roulette and
faro tables, with the result that sev
eral hundred are living on charity
until they can get out of the country.
Itmill.KD WITH Itl l.l.KTS.
AUBURN, Cal., Oct. 12. J. P.
Garred, who shot and wounded Louis
Fallen and his wife at Dutch Flat,
was riddled with bullets this after
noon by a posse which was out In the
brush hunting him and upon whom
he fired from a ditch.
Last Sunday Garred fired upon
Fallers, hitting Mrs. Fallen in the
hip and Fallers In the hand.
Early this morning a posse headed
by Sheriff McAulay, started In pur
suit and searched the brush In vain
until about 3 o'clock, when It was
decided to retire from the hunt and
try another plan. The sheriff and
his deputies took a train for Aub
urn and a few minutes afterward as
the posse was passing old Garred
opened fire on them.
One shot hit a young man named
Wagner In the leg. The posse re
turned the tire and riddled Garred
with bullets.
It Is said that Garred had no real
cause for shooting Fallers and that
he Is undoubtedly Insane. There
has been some dispute between the
parties over land Garred had sold
Fallers.

-I will tide Black Dan. Jenkins,"
aid Peggy calmly.
"Yea, nilss," replied Jenklna, disap
pearing la the direction of the it able.
Holcomb frowned and prepared to
follow In the wake of tbe groom.
"Of course you know you can't ride
Black Dan, Peggy." be aald Impatient
ly. "He has thrown you twice, and I
bare aald no woman shall mount blm
aguln. Any other none In tbe sta
bles' "Thank you,H aald Peggy coldly. "I
don't care to ride any other bone. Tou
are such an old granny. Bob!"
"Shall f order Pretty Girl?" asked I
Holcomb patiently.
"No. I nave ordered Black Dan,"
she replied defiantly.
"I must countermund the order, Peg
gy. No woman shall ride blm with my
permission," aald Bob stiffly.
Peggy's eyea flashed ominously, and
her pretty Hps stiffened Into a straight j
line. "If you countermand my order.
Bob Holcomb, she flashed angrily,
"you may" She choked back a little
sob.
"Whatr
"You may keep tbe ring you were
going to give me. finished Peggy re
morselessly. "Do you mean It? be asked, coming
closer to her and looking down into her
wide gray eyea.
"Yes, said Peggy hardily.
Holcomb turned away with a little
droop of bla broad shoulders. "Never
tbeless, Peggy, I must countermand
tbe order," be said gravely. Then be
went down the steps and disappeared
through the stable gateway.
Peggy Lin wood stared after him
with hot cheeks and flashing eyea.
Her little brown bands tightened their
grasp on tbe arms of the low chair.
"I'm very glad I broke It off," she
thought mechanically. "Fancy being
married to a man with such a nasty
temper as Bob Holcomb! What a fool
I was to fall In love with him!"
She sped upstairs to the c hints alt
ting room, where her mother sat be
fore a cozy tire. "Mother, dear, let us
go borne at once." ahe began abruptly.
"I can't stay In Bob Holcomb'a house
another minute!" She sank breath
lessly on the couch.
Mrs. Lin wood adjusted her glasses
and looked quizzically at her daugh
ter. "We mustn't siwll Bub's house
party, denr," she said mildly. "I told
Uim we would stay until Monday, and
we must do so. Have you quarreled
with him, Peggy?"
"Yes," said Peggy shortly.
"What about? Was It worth while?"
"I'd rather not tell, mother, admit
ted Peggy guiltily.
"Oh. well!" Mrs. Llnwood smiled
furtively Into her book. "If I were go
ing to quarrel. Peggy, dear, I wouldn't
wear that brown dress. You know It
Is so unbecoming, and when a woman
disagrees with a luun she should wear
her prettiest frock. Now, the blue
linen"
But Peggy had flown out of tbe
room and was anxiously surveying
herself In the cheval glass In her own
pretty apartment. "Mother's right."
she sighed miserably. "I look a fright
In this frock. It's too late to pretty
up' very much, but where Is the blue
linen V
Late that afternoon Peggy encoun
tered Bess Dane sauntering across tbe
lawn under the shade of century old
elms.
"Congratulate me, Peggy, dear, an
nounced Bess, airily extending a slim
hand.
Peggy gasped.
"Not Frederic? Bess, dear"
"Not Frederic," interrupted Miss
Dane coolly. "Guess again. Peg, and
In the meantime admire my ring. Isn't 1
It the sweetest ever?"
Such an odd ring It was too. In
numerable small diamonds formed the
petals of a daisy, with a biasing topax
for tbe yellow center. Peggy looked
at it with wildly beating heart
"It's more suitable for you. Peg, be
cause its a marguerite. Nevertheless
It suits your bumble servant right
down to the ground, as the poet has
It" Miss Dane sighed complacently
aa she seated herself on the grass.
"Come, sit down. Peg, and discuss
the details," she coaxed. "You will
be maid of honor, of course."
"Of course, Bess," murmured Peggy
miserably, "when when"
"Don't say 'when' again,' admonish
ed Bess mildly. "I'll tell you when I
know. Bob hasn't even asked me to
name the day. There were other and
more important matters to go over,"
she blushed warmly. "But you and
I can talk about the frocks and the
wedding and about Bob himself."
"I didn't even suspect," said Peggy
humbly as she nibbled a blade of
grass.
"No one suspects. It will not be an
nounced until I go borne. Don't you
think him the best fellow In the world.
Peg, dear?"
"Of course." cried Peggy lightly.
"And now, Bess, you must let me go,
for I am going for a gallop."
"Not on Black Dan?" questioned Mist
Dane playfully.
"No. Indeed," said Peggy warmly
"He has thrown me twice, you know
I shall ride Pretty Girl."
"Wise child." murmured Bess, sur
veying her ring dreamily.
An Peggy rode slowly nut of tbe
lodge gate and turned Into the lane
that was her favorite bridle path bet
last picture was of Bessie Dane ex
amining her engagement ring with
loving admiration.
Peggy's warm. Impulsive heart swell
ed with grief and Indignation. Light
Indeed was Bob Holcomb's love when
be could shift so quickly from one
sweetheart to another! How conven
ient for such ss he to carry an engage
ment ring in his pocket!
Peggy bad never seen tbe rtog until
It flashed from Miss Dane's finger, but
Bob had told her It was tbe prettiest
ring In the world and that tbcro was
no other like It. It bad come that
morning In the registered mall, and be
had whispered that be wanted ber to
try It on after breakfast.
And then had come the Black Dan
episode, end she bad not seen Bob
since. He bad absented himself from
tbe luncheon table under plea of busi
ness. No wonder be had been ashamed
to face ber!
Pretty Girl ambled down the lane,
where tbe thick hedge on either aide
made a long green arbor through
which tbe lute afternoon sunlight fil
tered on Peggy's shining hair. A
thrush, noised on the topmost bough
of a young chestnut, iwured out a rap
turous soug. Tbe liquid notes fell on
tbe girl's ear with heartbreaking
sweetness, and she leaned ber sunny
head down on Pretty Girl's neck and
sobbed.
The mare stopped and turned her
head with mild surprise. Some one
was comlug down the lane on a tall
gray bono some one wltb discontent
ed eyes that lighted wonderfully when
they saw Peggy's drooping bead.
"Peggy, dear! What Is the matter?"
Bob Holcomb was bending over his
late fiancee, and one strong band drew
her bead to bis shoulder.
Peggy withdrew herself with a
frightened cry. "How dare you, sir?
she said indignantly. She was obliv
ious to the traces of teara on ber pink
cheeks.
"Ob, come now, Peggy," entreated
Holcomb, "I know you didn't mean
what you said and"
"Bessie Dane has told me of ber en
gagement to you. Bob," said Peggy
icily.
"Engagement! To Bessie! Fudge!"
said Holcombe weakly. "Why of
course she Is engaged to Bob Mills.
He's staying over at Beecbcroft and
rode over here this morning, and I
guess they fixed It up then. Seen her
ring?"
Peggy nodded. There was a singing
in ber heart, and she wondered if Bob
could hear it
"Trashy looking ring," commented
Holcomb, fumbling in bis pocket; then
be drew forth a leather case and ex
tracted a ring, the conventional en
gagement ring a large solitaire. As
he slipped It on Peggy's willing finger
be said tenderly:
"Now, most people would say It was
Just like a hundred other engagement
rings, but it Isn't There isn't another
ring like it In the world, Peggy, be
cause It means that we are betrothed
with It It means that our love will
always overcome any foolish misun
derstandings, eh, Peggy, darling?" he
murmured as he slipped bis arm
around ber waist.
And Peggy smiled assent, wltb a
light of new understanding In her
eyes.
Down Growing Roots.
The unalterable downward trend of
tbe first root Is nil the more remark
able when we consider that the sub
sequent ramifications grow out In any
direction which seems to be desirable.
Many years ago Colonel Greenwood
started some experiments by fixing
horse chestnut seeds lu Inverted pots.
Tbe first root to npiear developed
downward Into the light, but naturally
soon shriveled up and died. Not so the
secondary roots, which had spread into
the soli of the pot. The pier parts
of the plants, which had presumably
first grown to one side and then shot
upward, continued to flourish exceed
ingly. It Is related that for no less
than twenty years Colonel Greenwood
kept one of these chestnuts alive, all
the time in an upside down condition
as far as the roots were concerned.
When the plant became too large for
Its original receptacle Its roots were
Incased In a chimney pot, several of
these latter being called into requisi
tion as the experiment continued.
Finally the root was turned over a
wall and conducted to a mound of
earth on tbe other side, at last being
allowed to take a natural course This
the long suffering tree readily did and
remained for some time a great curi
osity wltb its long arching root Sci
entific American.
The Magi elan and the King.
A magician once traveled to New
Zealand. It was arranged that be
should give an exhibition of mind read
ing before tbe king of the Maoris. Aft
er some parleying it was decided that
the king himself should conceal the
article which tbe magician was to dis
cover. The mind reader left the room and
after a time was brought back blind
folded, as Is the custom in such per
formances. After some time the ma
gician declared that the bidden article
was In the king's mouth. His majesty
shook his bead savagely in tbe nega
tive. The magician Insisted upon bis
point and demanded that the king's
mouth be opened wide. The king re
fused. The magician Insisted, and the ex
citement became very great until at
last the dusky king reluctantly opened
bis Jaws. The article was not there!
Tbe next Instant however, the king
was taken with a violent fit of cough
ing. He had tried to swallow the lost
article, a button, but could not and
was compelled to rough It up.
The Maoris were uproarious with
mirth. They did not know which to
admire the more the wisdom of the
magician or the heroism of the king.
