FOREST BANGERS USE FAST MOTOR BOATS INSTEAD OF HORSES WASHINGTON', Nov. 18 A forest ranger who rides a motor boat instead of a horse would be a novelty in the Western states, but is the rule in the Tongass National Forest, Alaska. In a report to the United States department of agriculture, of conditions there, E. A. Sherman, associate fores
ter, -writes as follows: "The Tongass National Forest i3 completely equipped with an admirable system of waterways. Here, instead of saddle and pack horse, the ranger rides a seagoing motor boat He guides his steed by means of a wheel instead of reins; feed3 it gaso
line instead , of oats: tethers it at
night with an anchor in some sheltered cove instead of with a picket rope in a mountain meadow, and uses the paint brush in lieu of a curry comb." Travel in Couples. Rangers in that national forest trav

boat. The boat Is a staunch, sea
worthy craft, 35 to 40 feet long, equip
ped with 25 horse-power engines, and
with fully inclosed cabin and pilot
house. Except when they are at head
quarters or actually at work in the woods, the rangers eat, sleep and live
on their boats. "Summer is the busiest season," Mr. Sherman reports. "Their day is not an eight-hour day, but usually a 18 or 20-hour day, with only one man actually on duty while the boat is running. The ranger is just as proud of his boat as the Bedouin horseman is of his steed, and the ranger boats in Alaska are the most distinctive craft sailing the waters of the Alexander archipelago."

SEEKING DIVORCE
"I suppose it is impossible to find out how high the elm was?" I asked. "I can give you it at once. It was sixty-four feet." "How do you come to know it?" I asked in surprise. "When my old tutor used to givt me an exercise in trigometry. it always took the shape of measuring
heights. When I was a lad I worked
out every tree and building in the estate." "This was an unexpected piece of luck. My data were coming more quickly than I could have reasonably
hoped. "Tell me" I asked, "did your butler ever ask you such a question?" "Reginald Musgrave loked at me in astonishment, '"now that you call it to my mind, he answered, "Brunton did ask me about the height of the tree some months ago, in connection with some little argument with the groom." "This was excellent news, Watson, for it showed me that I was on the right road. I looked up the sun. It was low in the heavens, and I calculated that in less than an hour it would lie just above the topmost branches
of the old oak. One condition mentioned in the Ritual would then be ful
filled. And the shadows of the elm must mean the farther end of the shadow, otherwise the trunk would have been chosen as the guide. I had then to find where the far end of the shadow would fall when the sun was just clear of the oak." "That must have been difficult, Holmes, when the elm was no longer there." "Well, at least I know that if Bruntion could do it, I could also. Besides, there was no real difficulty. I went with Musgrave to his study and whittled myself this peg, to which I tied this long string with a knot at each yard. Then I took two lengths of a fishing-rod, which came to just six feet, and I went back with my client to where the elm had been. The sun was just grazing the top of the oak.
I fastened the rod on end. marked out

Oldest Crown Jewel is English Magic Saphire Only a few of the early British royal jewels survive in the present reFalia. The oldest of these is the sapphire of Edward the Confessor, which wa3 originally set in his coronation ring. It was in his shrine in Westminster Abbey, but in 1101 the shrine was broken open and this and other jewels received. The sapphire is in the cross on the top of the king's state crown. Legend has it that St. John once appeared before the Confessor as a pilgrim, and that the monarch gave him the ring, which was returned later. The stone is reputed to have the power of curing sciatiea and rheumatism, but has not been used for this purpose recently.

I knew that it was the mark made by Brunton in his measurements, and that I was still upon his trail. "From this startling-point I proceeded to step, having first taken the cardinal points by my pocket-compass. Ten stops with ' each foot took me along parallel with the wall of the house, and again I marked my spot with a peg. Then I carefully paced off five to the east and two to the south. It brought me to the very
threshold of the old door. Two steps to the west meant now that I was to go two paces down the stone-flagged
passage, and this was the Dlace indi
cated by the Ritual. "Never have I felt such a cold chill of disappointment, Watson. For a mo- j ment it seemed to me that there must
be some radical mistake in my calculations. The setting sun shone full upon the passage floor, and I could see that tht old foot-worn gray stones with which it was paved were firmly cemented together, and had certainly

myseir, took out his manuscript to check my calculations. "And under he cried. "You have omitted the "and under.'". T had thought that it meant that we were to dig, but now, of course, I saw at once that I was wrong. "There is a cellar tinder this then?" I cried. " 'Yes, and as old as the house.

In an instant it was obvious that we -had at last come upon the true place, and that we had not been the only people to visit the spot recently. "It had been used for the storage of wood, but the billets, which had evidently been littered over the floor, were now piled at the sides, so as to leave a clear space in the middle. In this space lay a large and heavy flagstone with a rusted iron ring in the center to which athick shepered'scheck muffler was attached. '"By Jove! cried my client. 'That's Brunton's muffler. I have seen it on him, and could swear to it. What has the villain been doing here?" "At my suggestion a couple of the county police were summoned to be
present, and I then endeavored to
raise the stone by pulling on the cravat. I could only move it slightly, and
it was with the aid of one of the constables that I succeeded at last in carrying it to one side. A black hole yawned beneath into which we all

He had been dead some days, but there was no wound or bruise upon his person to show how he had met his dreadful end. When his body had been carried from the cellar we found ourselves still confronted with a problem which was almost as formidable as that with which we had started. "I confess that so far.
