TKX KRUGGER CASE
The Brujr ease has been settled
and tbe young man goo to th
penitentiary for life. Thi was
doubtless ths best resolution that
could ban bssn devised under all
the riroamstanoss, and the result
should mast the commendation of
all. It takes from the scene ol
action a boy who was not properly
gifted, and it relieves society from
taking a life that could not replace
the one taken by the defendant
That the boy was mentally irre
sponsible is testified to by three
re pa table physicians; and that his
extreme youth prohibited the death
penalty goes without saying, con
si daring, reasonably, bis mental
condition, and so, after all, as (aid
before, the beet solution has been
obtained.

Where Le Ptge

"But. factor. It seems to me like put
ting our hands Into another's cache,"
remonstrated Le Page bluntly.
"It's putting our hands upon shoul
der that are beudlng over our own
each," retorted the factor angrily,
"Oar company came Into this country
IS rat and ranged It from tbe divide to
the snow tine unmolested, and now
these Interlopers sneak in aud appropri
ate the best trapping Talley in tbe
whole section. They must be driven
out. Le Page, and you must do It"
-Well." thoughtfully. "I suppose I
could do it But from tbe divide to the
snow line Is a big territory for one
company to claim, factor, and I dont
think any of our men have been Into
that particular valley for more tban
two years. It is fifty miles away and
off our regular line of work. I gener
ally scatter my man along tbe river
country on account of tbe animals com
ma to drink and the easier transporta
tion. ' That family could remain In tbe
valley a lifetime and not really hurt us.
Tou know that factor. Besides, they
have just as much tight here as we
hare. And there Is another thing," cool
ly, and Ignoring tbe wrath tbat was
naming to the factor's face, "ever since
I heard how tbey went to the valley
last winter, just a young man and hli
wife, across 800 miles of as bleak coun
try as even a trapper ever turned his
back to, I have wished tbat I could
meet them and shake hands."
"Ton seem to know all about them,"
sneered the factor.
"Not a word mors than you. Antotne
was up that way trapping and told you
what be told the rest of us. He met the
man himself and beard him say tbat he
had not been married long and that tbe
"oh, aaesiscas, mesbieibs, do kot lei

two bad reached tbe valley In good
condition. Tbat Is all, only you and I
look at things differently."
Tbe factor's wrath could not contain
Itself longer.
"Perhaps so," he stormed, "but you'll
do this just ss I look at It You're un
der contract to tbe company."
"For Ave years," calmly, "to hunt,
trap and do the work according to my
ability. I am satisfied."
""Well," menacingly, "you will take
four men and go to this valley and
clear it of Its vermin."
"Howr
"Any way you like, so long as lfs
done thoroughly," snapped the factor.
"Tou never asked a question like that
before. You must be losing nerve.
Shoot them, burn them, drown them;
there are ways enough. Or no con
trolling himself with an effort "per
haps you'd better not do .that Stories
get out and prejudice tbe country
against us. Frighten them off. A
good way is to destroy their camp and
provisions and take away all their
weapons, then give tbem so many
hours to leave the country. They'll
go all right I followed that method
until I was given charge of a post
And, Le Pager
"Tea, factor."
"Tou will discontinue having your
way of looking at things. Tou belong
to the company, and I voice tbe com
pany's orders. Understand? Any fail
ure on your part, or leaving the serv
ice, means losing everything coming
to you That's the contract"
"I have read ft," smilingly, "and my
way of looking at things has never In
terfered with my work so far. Tou
know that"
Tes, the factor knew it Bat still his
eyes followed the strong figure as It
strode away with anything but friend
ly looks. There was bad blood between
the two, and but for tbe fact tbat Le
Page was worth any three men at the
post and could control the others as
no one else bad ever done, and seemed
to have an instinctive knowledge of
Where to obtain the best and most
pelts, he would long ago have found
means of getting rid of him. More
over, he had an uneasy feeling that tbe
company valued Le Page's services al
most as much as it did bis own.
Inside of half an hour Le Page had
selected ammunition and provisions
and picked out the four men who were
to accompany him the best at the
trading post, he believed, and men after
his own heart; strong, wiry, indefati
fttblfj, who would fight or work so long
ss strength lasted and on whom be
could depend. Tbe work was not suck
as he would like, bnt tbat did not mat
ter; It was the company's and he wai
in the company's service.
The second day tbey reached tbe
head of the valley, entering it by way
of a ravine through which plunged an
ley stream. This they waded. Beyond,
the ground sloped rapidly and was
thickly wooded. They could overlook
most of the valley.
"Now, men," said Le Page, "suppose
we scatter and work gradually down
the valley, examining tbe woods thor
oughly. They have, Jlkely built a cabin
Jill
suspect our errainl uTey "may Try to
keep out of sight"
"Walt a iuouicuC esclalmed oue ol
the men. "Isu't that smoke half a mile
or so down yonder, over those pine
UHsr And he poiuted with hia On
cr. Le Page shaded his eyes.
"Yea, that's smoke," he said after a '
sharp scrutiuy, "and It seems near the I
stream. They've built there on ac
count of the water. Well we'll fol
low right down tbe bauk and settle
things at once. But mind, num. no
flRbtlug unless there's need. Yell try
to ersuade them to leave peaceably.
If they refuse to go, we'll use force.
I think we can get back to tbe post by
tomorrow night"
There waa little need of caution, for
the ground along the bauk wa cov
ered -with pine needles aud gave no
sound of their footsteps, and the trees
were so thick as to conceal everything
a few rods away. It waa only when
they had approached to wltbiu thirty
yards tbat they saw the cabin.
But before they reached It a wouiau
came hurrying out, wriuglug her hands.
"Oh, mon lileu. mon IMeu:" she cried
wlhlly. "My husbaud has been hurt
by a falling tree and must have a
doctor. It Is sixty miles, aud I have
a little baby aud cannot leave It and
tur husband. Oh, messieurs, messieurs.
do not let btm die!"
I.e Page was a Uiau of quick thought
and prompt action aud of sympathetic
heart. Whlrliug to bis men, he said
bluntly:
"You will return at ouce to the
factor. Tell him tbe expedition Is a
failure. Walt. I will send him s note."
He scribbled a few Hues on tbe back
of au envelope and gave It to one of
the meu. "Now go!" he ordered. The
uote read:

Uncle Rufus was one of the calmest
and most equable of mortals. Nobody
bad ever seen him excited or Impatient
But there came a time that tried him.
Tbe furnace In tbe basement of his
bouse was working badly. He bad been
experimenting with a new variety of
coal. In which there was a considerable
proportidu of "stack," and it did not
seem to ie burning. He threw open
the door of the furnace, thrust the end
of a long poker deep into the smolder
big mass and stirred it up vigorously.
The result was startling. A fierce
burst of flame and smoke came forth.
not only enveloping Uncle Eofus, but
blowing out the flue cape in the rooms
above and filling the house with soot
and ashes.
In the midst of the excitement Uncle
Rufus came up from the basement with
his usual slow and regular step. His
face waa black with grime, bis eye
brows and eyelashes were singed to a
crisp, and what was left of bis balr
and beard was a sight to behold.
He went to a mirror and took a good
look at himself.
"Waal" he said slowly and deliber
ately, "I was needing a share an' a
hair cut anyway."
Stoaa Forests.
Stone forests are found In various
parts of tbe world. In many cases
tbey are hardened by some peculiarity
of the atmosphere and are found stand
ing just aa tbey were when clothed
with green foliage thousands of years
ago. Tbe Little Colorado river. In
Arizona, has long been famous as a
locality for such finds. At one place
more than 1,600 cords of solid stone
tree trunks, sections, limbs and logs
were found by the government sur
veyors. Most of them were sillclfled,
many seven to ten feet In diame
ter and from twenty to eighty feet
In height Geologists say that the
petrified trees of the Little Colora
do were once covered with marl over
1,000 feet In depth. Some of the trees
have been changed to jasper and have
assumed various hues; others resemble
opal, and when broken open the core
is often found lined with crystals of
the most beautiful tints.
