One of the most magnificent displays
of the aurora borealis ever witnessed
in this section occurred last Monday
night. The electrical disturbance was
' so great that it created considerable
' disturbance at the cable office. For
about half an hour the instruments
were out of commission. The aurora
affected the earth eurrent in such a
i way that it dislodged the syphon and
; signals could not be received. The sy
' phon was contracted fully an inch out
of line. ? Valdez Xews.

A Simple "Poor
XO hit e Girt

[Original.)
Tom Sllcox, mooushiuer, was In e
trap. He had been caught in what ont
west they would call a canyon. Through
It a mountain torrent had worn Its
way deep In the rocks and boiled and
bubbled unseen by human eye, shaded
as it was by an impenetrable growth
of trees and brush. This stream was
Tom's only outlet. He might trust
himself to it and if he came safely
through the dangers of cataract and
hungry animals would emerge in an
open space below. But the end of the
route was watched, and the chances
of escape were few. Sam Sykes, the
leader of the revenue men, was puz
zled. lie kuevv where Sllcox was and
would have been sure of him had he
had more men to surround him. But
he had only two assistants, and Silcox
was a desperate man. One or two lives
were likely to be the price of the cap
ture. Ue was meditating as to what
he would do when a girl typical of the
country approached him. She wore a
cheap calico dress, a check sunbonnet
and cowhide shoes.
"Reckou you uns air lookiu' for Tom
SileoxV" she said.
"What do you know about Sllcox?"
replied the olBcer evasively.
"Reckon I'd ought to know somepin
about him, secin' the way he's treated
me."
"How has he treated you?"
"Shook me."
"I see. He's a mean dog. not worthy
of a nice girl like you. I should think
you'd wish to get even with him."'
"So X would If I knowed how."
A crafty expression came over the
man's face. "Why not turn him over to
us revenue officers?" he asked.
"How could I do that?"
"You mlglii pretend you would help
him out aud give us a chance at him."
The girl's face lighted with an ex
pression of vengeful hunger, but she
did not reply.
"I wouldn't mind giving a twenty
dollar bill," added the officer.
This time avarice showed plainly on
the face of the poor white girl, who
never had so much inouey In her life.
Then she began to think. Sykes gave
her plenty of time.
"I kin take you uns to whar Tom's
hldln'," she said at last
"It's a bargain."
"Tom's hldln' In an olo cabin. I'll
go thar with you uns, but I must have
a leettle time with him outen eight.
He's got somepin o' mine I want to
git. 'S soon 's I settle that I'll tell
him you uns Is corntn" up the crick
and he'd better make tracks up. I
might say I got a critter for him up
thar."
"Splendid: When shall we go?"
"Now's good a time as any."
Sykes called In his men and gave
them the plan. They were to follow
the girl to the edge of a clearing, where
they would lie concealed under the
4KUl, W-.-U ? 1.1 1
told Sykes something of the lay of the
laud. The cabin was within a few
yards of the creek, and this was tfie
reason Sllcox had selected It for a
hiding place. If attacked he could
easily drop down Into It and It would
be html to get him. Above the cabin
the ground, though comparatively open,
was hidden here and there by rocks
and scrub trees.
Sykes saw the advantage of her tell
ing the moonshiner that they were
coming up Instead of down, since It
would probably prevent him from tak
ing to the creek. If the officer had
any suspicion as to the girl's real In
tentions they were now dispelled. In
deed, he had suggested the revenge
himself. Besides, she was too simple
to coacoct any plan for an escape.
Was she not leading them to SUcox's
hiding place?
When they arrived 011 the ground she
said to Sykes:
"D' y' want to take him alive or take
him dead?"
"Alive if we can."
"Then you uns better go up the crick
a spell whar there's an openln' he'll
have to go out."
Sykes ordered the two men to do as
she suggested. When they had gone
she said to him: '"S soon's I've had
my talk, Tom'll go up, as I said. You
uns kin shoot him If y' like; I don't
keer." This was said with a tremor In
her voice, as though In her heart she
did care. "Reckon I'd better drop
down behind the bank o* the crick to
git outen the way o' the bullets. Good
by. I'm off."
Sykos waited the result of the ma
neuver for about five minutes, when
he saw the figure of a man In "butter
nut" swiftly making his way up the
creek. He could have easily shot the
moonshiner, but he relied Implicitly
on his falling into the trap above. He
saw the calico dress and check sun
bonnet disappear behind the bank, but
he was Intent on the person who had
gone the other way. He followed the
"butternut," keeping him In sight so
far as was possible, till he saw hi*
men take him in without a shot Then
he breathed a sigh of relief.
Uncocking his rifle, Sykes walked
leisurely toward the others. As he
approached them they came to meet
him, leaving the prisoner unguarded.
He hurried on, recocking his gun to
cover the moonshiner and wondering
what they r-cant by such carelessness.
"Mind your prisoner!" he shouted.
"It's the girl," replied one of the men
lugubriously.
And so It was. The two had ex
changed clothes behind the rock. The
girl had gone up the creek, while Tom
had dropped behind the bank. Making
his way down a shoit distance he had
mounted a horse she had provided and
was following a trail that was sure to
!?ad him to safety.
