A girl sat sewing In her room In the
City of Mexico. Hearing a footstep on
tbo stairs, she started. A woman en
tered out of breath.
' "Iuez!" she gasped.
"Oh. I'eplta! What Is it?"
"If you have anything to compromise
you with the Constitutionalists get rid
of it at once. This man Maunel Coml,
whom you have trusted, Is a spy of the
dictator. lie has Informed upon you."
"Then what use to get rid of evi
dence? The dictator does not need evi
dence to get rid of his victims."
"Coral's brother, Enrique, came to
me and said to me: 'I have Just learn
ed that Manuel Is In the secret service
of tlie dictator and has Informed the
tyrant that by searching Inez's room
he will fiud papers revealing the plan
of the revolutionists.' Enrique assured
me that if no such papers are found
you will not be troubled. If they are
found it will go hard with you, even
though you are n woman."
An Episode
Of Mexico
By ESTHER VAN DERVEER
Inez burst into tears, xue man sue
loved lmd turned traitor to her. But
her friend urged her to waste no time
in ^retting rid of tiny compromising
documents she might possess. She did
possess several Important ones, for her
brother whs oue of the revolutionary
chiefs, and lie was using her to lay
plans for a rising against the dictator
in the City of Mexico. But Inez had
received too terrible n blow In the
treachery of her lover to keep her mind
on what she was doli g. After she had
destroyed every document, as she sup
posed. she remembered one she had
not destroyed that gave a list of per
sons In the city who could be relied
on to desert the dictator and Join the
revolutionists as soou as fighting com
menced. But this did not occur to
her till the sound of heavy footsteps
was heard on the staircase. She bad
only time to unlock a drawer, take out
the (taper and slip it under her dress
at the neck when the door was thrown
open und Manuel Coral with a man
and a womnu entered.
"1 am sorry to disturb you, senorita,"
he said to Inez, "but the government
has received news that yon are in pos
session of plans of the revolutionists,
and I have been sent here to get them."
"You mean," said Inez, whose indig
nation by this time had got the better
of her grief, "that you have accus
ed me."
"What matters it?" Peplta broke In,
"since you are innocent of the charge?
Let them search the room."
"1 shall also be obliged to bave you
searched," said Coral. "I have brought
a woman for the purpose."
Coral and the man he had brought
with hiui began to search the room.
I'epita asked permission to leave, and
it was granted. Before doing so she
embraced Inez and, slipping her
thumb and forefiuger in under the neck
of hor dress, drew the paper hidden
there into the palm of her hand. Then
she disengaged herself, but before do
ing so transferred the paper Into her
sleeve. Then, with a few words of en
couragement for^ber friend, she took
ber departure.
As si'on as I'eplta uaa gone uorai
ordered the woman to take Inez Into
another room and make a through
search of her person, promising the
former a handsome reward IX she
found what they were looking for.
Inez left with a mingled glance of de
fiance aud contempt for the man she
had loved. She felt perfectly safe,
Peplta having taken away the com
promising document Coral showed
no feeling whatever at her treatment
In due time the two women returned,
the searcher announcing that, though
she had made a careful Investigation
of the senorita's clothing and her hair,
not a scrap of Information had been
found. Then Coral, making a cere
monious bow to Inez, left her alone.
Inez was moved by two conflicting
emotions. She had saved her brother
and the cause he was engaged In from
a serious setback, and, far more Im
portant than that, many a man who
would have been Implicated and lost
his life had not Peplta carried away a
list of their names thut had been saved.
On the other hand, she had received
a bitter thrust In the treatment of her
lover.
Her usefulness to the cause bad end
ed and she determined to slip away
from the city of Mexico and rejoin her
brother. She was engaged in getting
together the things she would take
with her when the door opened, and
Manuel Coral entered. Daclng his fin
ger to his lips, he looked about him'
to satisfy himself that no one else was
present. Iuez looked at him wonder
ing what ho would do next. Then be
spoke hurriedly:
"I found it necessary to deceive the
dictator, whose confidence I have. He
had received indirect information that
you were here in the interests of tho
revolutionists. I at once sent my
brother to inform you that you were
suspected and persuaded the dictator
to permit me to make the search I
knew you would be subjected to. I
saw I'eplta take a paper from the neck
of your dress. You think I have be
trayed you. I have saved you. Heav
en knows what would have become of
you had I not warned you or had an
other conducted the search."
Inez listened to these hurried words
till the end, then, toppling, fell Into her
lover's arms.
When stfe came to herself Manuel
Coral was bending over her anxiously.
"Go," he said, "while there Is time
I have more to do here or I would go
with you."
SAY WATER IS
VERY SHALLOW
• Captain J. 0. Williams, of tho
steamer Casea, and Captain Turn
bull, "of the steamer Whiteborse, whc
were in port this -week with their
boats, confirmed the previous reports
brought down by recent arrivals that
the Ice and the high water carried
out the jetties and the fillings at the
heads ofthe draws at Hellgate, and
expressed fear that much trouble
will be had with bare at that loca
tion this season. They also found
the water very shallow at the
head of Lake LaBarge, but say the
depth should Increase there soon.
The only way the channel there ever
can be controlled, river men say,
would be by building a dam at the
head of lilies canyon to impound
water to be released during the low
period. Dredging the sands on the
bars at the head of the lake is
deemed useless. Dredging, however,
13 favored on bars along the river,
and especially where draws can
be filled at Hellgate.
The Casca was delayed the first
trip six hours on the sands at the
head of LeBarge, and the White
horse 13 hours. Both had to use
spars to get across, and each boat
carried only about 75 tons of cargo.
Captain Turnbull says his boat was
walked through the mud where the
water was six inches less than the
boat actually drew when In deep
water. The crooked twist of what
Httlo channel thero is at the head
of the lake also made it difficult
to navigate. The warm weather of
the remainder of the month is ex
pected to melt snows and to cause
an increased volume of water at
that end. The water on the Dawson
front Is falling rapidly, and the long
beach is becoming exposed, but no
trouble with bars has been exper
ienced yet by the boats this side of
the lakj.—Dawson News.

BIRTH OF h RIVER.
How the St. Lawrence, the Oldest
In the World, Was Formed.
ITS BED WAS MADE TO ORDER.
I Nature Saved This Historic and Un
] changing Stream the Trouble of Cut
1 ting a Channel For Its Course From
I the Great Loket to the Sea.
What is the oldest river in tLie world?
The St. Lawrence. It Is nlso one of
the few rivers that did not have to
make its own bed and has remained
unchanged since the very beginning of
the American continent
Try to think of a time when the
earth was covered by a mass of water,
iiot. steaming and often tremendously
disturbed b\ (he throes of a globe be
neath it that was shrinking because It
was becoming cooler. As the globe
shrank every particle of the outside
was naturally nulled In toward the
center, ami }1jo hardening crust, which
could not be packed any mote solidly
than It was. had to wrinkle, sinking
down here and bulging up somewhere
else.
After a time certain of those rising
wrinkles, or folds, the thicker or firm
er parts of the earth's crust, stood the
strain aud became permanent ridges.
The oldest »f theuj that geologists
know and apparently the first that
bulged up above the universal ocean
and remained high and dry was the
broad mass on which Canada now
rests. It Is a part of the original crust
of the earth, and we can see It today
wherever it is not covered l>y newer
rocks or soil Just as it crystallized and
cooled out of the primeval molten ma
terial
This mass formed a broad V from
Labrador down to Lake Huron and
thence northwestward to Alaska. On
account of its shape geologists call It
the Canadian shield. It Is the oldest
land known and apparently the strong
est. for there are no .signs of any ex
tensive changes in it (except tlis wear
ing away of the surface) since It first
rolled the ocean off its shoulders.
Off the eastern coast of this primi
tive continent lay a chain of lofty Is
lands about on the line cf the Blue
Ridge, the White mountains, the Maine
coast and Nova Scotin. Between these
islands and the mainland was a trough
like space that ran from eastern Que
bec soutbwestwnrd to Ohio, it was
two or three, hundred miles wide and
filled with a shallow sea, and Just out
side the island chain was the great
hollow that held the Atlantic ocean.
Time went on. For ages the strain
ing and cracking of the shrinking
globe, earthquakes, sun and frost
pounding surf, running water, blowing
gales, ice—all labored to tear down the
mountains and carry the wreckage of
rocks and dust away into the valleys
and seas, in this way vast masses of
rock In layers of shales, sandstones,
and wbal not, were laid down in that
narrow, troughlike sea between the
chain of Islands and the continent.
All those "sedimentary" rocks wore
soft and weak as compared with the
solid old granites deeply rooted on
either side of them, and the trough it
self, a sagging fold, was a line of
weakness In the crust. As the load of
deposits became heavier and heavier
the floor of this trough slowly yielded,
and as It sank toward the heated re
gion below the underside melted and
grew thinner and thinner.
That could not go on forever, and
soon the continual shrinking of the
globe and the enormous pressure of
the weight of the ocean becamo Irre
sistible. The Canadian shield was
immovable, so the rock in the trough
began to bulge or crumple all along its
length. Gradually, not all at once, but
by slow and varying movements, those
folds were squeezed up. which in their
broken and worn down form we know
as the Appalachian mountains.
Toward the south there was room
for this action to be rather gentle and
regular, but in the far northeast tlie
trough was narrow, and the soft rocks
were set on edge, overturned and splin
tered against the solid continent.
Very early in the struggle a great
fracture of the earth's crust occurred
here along a curving nortiieast and
southwest Una It left a deep and
broad trench between the crushed and
displaced rocks of the trough and the
granite shore of the Canadian shield.
Into this trench rushed all the Interior
waters of the continent, draining away
to the sea, and the St Lawrence river
was born! There, no doubt, it will re
main as long as the earth keeps its
present form.
At that time there was no gulf of St
Lawrence. The land extended out to
a coast line that stretched unbroken
from Nova Scotia to Labrador. The
present gulf is the result of a sinking
of the coast region. Most of It is very
shallow, but a chart of soundings
shows the ancient river bed as a chan
nel wluding out between Newfound
land and Cape Breton to the deep
ocean.—Youth's Companion.
