Wesley Scouts Return From Camp.
The Wesley Troop of Boy Scouts
returned on Monday from camp at
Cultus Lake, where eleven days
were silent under canvas anil amidst
tho beaulios of the lake and woodland for which tiiis. popular resort
is noted. Tho Senilis found it difficult to follow lhe regulation pro-
grain for Scout work, the preparation of tho meals requiring considerable of tllO time. The daily routine
started at 7 a.m., with a plunge in
the lake which most of tho boys
took advantage of. Flag saluting
and prayers proceeded preparation
of-the breakfast. Tracking, treasure
hunting or signaling occupied
the time until noon hour. The
afternoons were sjient in swiiuing,
a very peasant exercise, and althlctic
games of various kinds followed by
the camp lire assembly at
which stories, jokes etc., wbiled
away tbe time until 9 or 9.30 when
the Scouts indulged in rest, repose
and quit dreams until the morning
call awakened them to a realization
of the joys of camp life, and thus
the days of the annual camp rolled
by all too soon for the members and
officers of the Troop. There were
no accidents, tbe weather was fair
and there was no sickness, except a
trace of home sickness now and
again. The boys are grateful to
Mr. Eckert for conveying them to
camp and to Mr. Evans for tranport
ation home, also for the thoughtful-
ness of many in seuding'or bringing
supplies for the needs of the camp.
Thc camp was in charge of Scoutmaster W. Abbott and Asst. Scoutmaster C. A. Woodworth, who are
highly pleased with the conduct of
boys and tlie success of the camp
for 1912.      ,

TO THE LAND-OWNERS OF THE DISTRICT
OF CHILUWACK. B. C.
Wc have recently opened an office
in room 12 in the Hnrt Block,Chilliwaek, nnd wc would lie glad to get
iu touch with nny of thc land-owners
in thc district who might be thinking
of under-draining their land.
Wc have one of the celebrated
"Buckeye" Traction Ditcher
Machines in Chilliwack now. This
machine was working here last
spring nnd every one who had any
work done hy it scorned perfectly
Well satisfied.
This machine will dig a trench
11'j inches wide and any depth up
to 4 let 9 inches. The machine is
capable of digging lhe trench absolutely to grade, which is first laid out
by us with a surveyor's level. The
ditch is loft absolutely clean mid
ready for the tile or cedar box-drains
to he laid.
We are in a |iosition to contract

the cost of hand-digging besides being done more quickly and leaving
u mucli cleaner trench.

Tlio annual picnic held under
the auspices of the Wnnians'
Institute and whicli the members of
tlle Farmers' Institute participated,
on Thursday last nt I). Jtorden's
grove, was a splendid success.
There was a large crowd present
ami the various names and amusements were heartily enjoyed. As
would be expected, under such
auspices, the picnic menu was a
mosl appetising one, and was partaken of with a relish that would
satisfy the most sensitive housewife.
Mr. and Mrs. Morden have a delightful spot for such an event and
won the plaudits of all in their Jrole
as host and hostess. Rain terminated the program rather abruptly
and while most of the picnicers
got wet before reaching home, they
all vote the event one of the most
pleasant of its kind this season.

CHAPTER   XIX.—Continued
Yr OU will go tu Nice fur :i while,"
said Steele, firmly, He had fallen
lnio a position »!' arranging their
affaire, Mrs. Horton, distressed in
Duska's distress, found herself helpless to net except upon his direction,
The girl nodded, apathetically.
'•It doesn't matter," she said.
Then, she looked up again,
"Uut I want yen to slay. I wnnt you
to <Im everything you can for both of
them.*' She paused, and her next
words were spoken with an effort:
"And I d*n't want I don't wnnt yuu
tu speak of mo. i don't want you to
try to remind him."
"He will ciuostlon im." demurred
Steele,
Duska's head wuh ralsod with a little
gesture ut pride,
"1 am not afraid," sho snld, "that he
will ask you anything he should not—
anything thai he ims not the right to
CHAPTER XX,
When he turned back, a day later.
from tfie turmoil of the station, frum
the strenuous labor of weighing trunks,
locating the compartment ln the train.
subsidizing the guards, and, hardest uf
all, saying good-bye to Duska with n
seeming ur normal cheerfulness, Steele
found himself Irritably out of measure
with the quick-step of Paris. Mrs,
Hurtun aud the girl were on their way
to the Riviera, lie was left behind to
watch results; almost, it seemed to
him, to sit by and observe the postmortem on every hope In the lives of
three people, Nice should sttll be
quiet. The tidal wave of "trippers"
would not for :i little while sweep over
Its rose-covered slopes and white
beaches and dazzling esplanades, and
the place wuuld afford the girl at least
every soothing Influence that nature
could offer. That would not be much,
but it wuuld be something.
As for himself, he felt the Isolation of
Paris. On a desert, a man may become
lonely; in deep forests nnd on high
mountains, he may come to know and
hate his own soul in solitude, but the
last note of aloofness, of utter exile, is
that which comes lo him who looks
vainly for one face in a sea of other
faces, whose small cosmos lies in unwept and unnoticed ruin in the midst
of a giant city that moves along its
Indifferent way to tho time of dance-
music. In the hotel, there was lhe
chatter uf tuurists. His own tongue
was prattled by men and women whoso
lives seemed to revolve around the
shops of the Rue de la i'aix, or whose
literature was the information of the
guide-books, lie felt that everyone
was invading his somborness of mood
with trivialities, until, in revulsion
against the whole stage-setting of
things, he had himself and his luggage
transported to the Hotel Voltaire,
where the life about him was the simpler life of the loss pretentious quais
of the Heine.
After his dejeuner, he sat for a time
attempting to readjust his ideas. lie
had told Saxon that he would never
again speak of love to Duska. Now, he
realized how barren of hope it would
ever be fur him tu renew his plea. She
had bankrupted his heart. He had
burled hts own hopes, and nu one except himself had known at what cost
to himself. He had taken his place in
the niche dedicated to closest friend,
just outside the inner shrine reserved
for the one who could penetrate that
far. Now, he was lu a greater distress. Now, he wanted only her happiness, and as he had never wanted it
before. Now, he realized that lhe only
suurce through which this could cume
was the suurce that seemed hopelessly
clogged. There was no doubt uf his
sincerity. Even his own intimate
questioning acquitted him uf self-consideration. COUld he at that moment
have had one wish fulfilled by some
magic agency of miracle, that wish
would have been that he might lead
Robert Saxon, as Robert Saxon had
heen, to Dusku, with nil his memory
and love intact, and free from any Incumbrance that might divide litem.
That would have been the gift of all
gifls, and Ihe only gift that would drive;
the look uf heart-hunger and despair
from Iht eyes.
Steele was restless, and. biking up
his hat, he strolled out along the quay,
and turned at last Into ihe Boulevard
St. Michel, stretching off In n broad
vlstft of cafe-lined sidewalks.    The life
of the "Boule Mich" held no attraction
for blm. In Ids earlier days, he had
known II from the river to the Boulevard Moutparnnsse. Ho knew its tributary streets, Its lodgings, Its schools,
and the life which the spirit of Uie
modern is so rapidly revolutionising
from   Bohemia's   shabby   capital   to   a
conventionalized district, None ..r these
things held for him Die piquant challenge <»r novelty.
As  he   passed  a   certain  cafe,   which
io- had once known ns the informal
elub uf the Marston cult, he realised
that hen- the hilarity was more pronounced than elsewhere. The bOUlO-
Vard itself was for squares a thread,
stringing cafes like beads In a necklace. Bach hnd Its crowd of revelers;
Its boisterous throng uf frowsy, volvet-
jarketcd. long-hai rod studonts; Us
laughing models; Its inevitable brooding and despondent abslntheurs sitting
apart in isolated melancholy. Yet,
hero at the "Chat Noir," the chorus
was noisier. Although the evening
was chill. Ihe sidewalk tables were by
no metins descried. The Parisian
proves his patriotism by his adherence
to the out-door table, even If he musl
turn up his Collar, nnd shiver as he
sips his wine.
Listlessly, Steele turned Into the
place, it was su crowded this evening
that for a lime It looked as though he
would have difficulty in finding a sent.
Al last, n waiter led him to a corner
where, dropping to the seat nlong the
wnll, be ordered his wine, nnd sat
gloomily looking un.
The place was unchanged. There
were still lhe habitues quarreling over
their warring tenets of the brush; men
.drawn to the centre of painting as
mot lis   are   drawn   lo   a   candle;    men
of all nationalities ami sorts, alike only
in ihe general quality of their unkempt
grolosquerle.
There was music of d son; a plaintive chord long-drawn from the violin
occasionally made its sweet wall heard
above the bubo! and through the reeking smoke of the room, Evidently, it
was some oceaslon beyond the ordinary, and Steele, leaning over to the
student nearest him, Inquired in
French:
"Is there some celebration?"
The stranger wns a short man, with
hair that fell low on his neck and
greased his collar. He had a double-
pointed beard and deep-set black oyos,
which he kept fixed un his absinthe as
it dripped drop by drop frum the nickeled device attached tu his frappe glass.
At the question, lie looked up, astonished,
"Bul is il possible monsieur does not
know'.' We are all brothers here—
brothers in lhe worship uf the beautiiul:    Hoes nui monsieur know?"
Steele did not knuw, and he told the
stranger so without persiflage.
•'It   is   that   the   great   .Marston   has
returned!" proclaimed ihe student, in
a loud voice. "It is that the master
bns come back to us—lo Paris!"
The sound of his voice bad brought
others aboul lhe table. "Does monsieur know that tbe Seine Hows".'" demanded a pearly pretty model, raising
her glass and flashing frum her dark
eyes a challenging glance uf ridicule.
Steele   did   not   object   to   the   good-
humored bailing, but be looked about
him, and was thankful that the girl on
her way tu Nice could nut look in on
this enthusiasm over tlie painter's
home-coming; could nul see lu what
Marston was returning; whal character of devotees were pledging the promotion uf the lirst disciple to the place
of the worshiped master.
Some half-drunken student, his hand
upon the shoulder of a model, lifted a
lilting glass, and shouted thickly, "Vive
Tart! Vive Marston!" The crowd
luok up the shout, and there was much
clinking of glass.
Steele, with a feeling of deep disgust,
rose to go. Tbe other quais of the
Seine were better after all. Rut, as he
reached for his hat, he felt a hand on
his shoulder, and, turning, recognized,
with a glow of welcome, the face uf
M. Herve. Like himself, M. Herve
seemed out of his element, or wuuld
have seemed so had he also not bad,
like Steele, thai adaptability which
makes some men tit into the picture
wherever they may tlnd themselves.
Thc two shook hnnds, and dropped
back on the cushions of lhe wall seat.
"I have heard the story." the Frenchman assured Steele. "Monsieur mny
spare himself the pain of repeating it.
It is a miracle!"
Steele was looking intu his glass.
"It is a must Unhappy miracle," he
replied.
"Rut, mon dleu!" M. Herve. looked
across the table, tapping the Kentuck-
ian's sleeve wilh his outstretched
lingers. "It makes one think, mon ami
- It makes one think!"
Ills vis-a-vis only nodded, and Herve
went on:
"It brings home lo one tbe indestructibility of the true genius—the unquenchable tire of it! Destiny plays a
strange game. She has here taken a
man, and juggled wilh his life; battered his identity to unrecognizable
fragments; set a seal on his past. Yet
his genius she could not efface. That
burned through to the light—sounded
on insistently through the confusion of
wreck, even ns that violin sounds
through this hell or noises and disorder
—the great unslienced chord! The
man thinks he copies another. Not su
--ho Is merely groping to And himself.
Never hnve I thought so deeply as
since 1 have heard this story."
Fur a time, Steele did not reply. To
him, the personal element drowned the
purely academic interest of the psychological phase In this tragedy.
Suddenly, a new element of surprise
struck him, and he leaned across the
table, his voice full of questioning.
"Rut you," he demanded, "you had
studied under Marston. Vou knew
hhn, and yet. when you saw Saxon,
you had no recognition."
M. Herve nodded his head wilh grave
assent.
"That was my first incredulous
thought when I heard of this miracle."
he admitted; "yet, only for a moment.
After all. that was Inevitable. They
were different. Now. bearded, ill, depleted, 1 fancy he may oneo more look

was a mane, and whose morbid timidity gave to bis eyes a haunted and uncertain lire. When I snw Snxon It is

In that, his Destiny wns kind -she gavo
It not only to bis body, but to his
brush. He wns before n deml-god of
the palette.    Now, he is the god."
"Do you chance to know," nsked
Steele suddenly, "how bis hand was
pierced?"
"Have you uot heard that story?"
the Frenchman asked. "I am regrettably responsible for that. We sought
to make him build the physical mnn.
I persuaded him to fence, though be
did It badly and without enthusiasm.
Dne evening, we were toying with
sharpened foils. Partly by his enre-
lessness and partly by my own, the
blade went through his palm. For a
long p.-rind. be could not paint,"
Frederick Marston was not at onre
removed from the lodgings In the Rue
St. Jacques. Absolute rest was what
he most required. When he awoke
again, unless ho nwoke refreshed by
sullicient rest, Dr, Cornish held out no
hope, The slraln upon enfeebled body
nnd brain bad been great, and fnr dnys
le- remained delirious or unconscious.
Dr. ''ornlsh  was like adamnnt  In his
determination that he should be left
undisturbed for a week or mure.
Meanwhile, the episode hud unexpected results. The physician who had
< ie to Parts fleeing from a government be had failed lo overturn, wbu
had taken an emergency case because
there, was no one else at hand, found
himself suddenly heralded by the Purls
press as "that distinguished specialist,
Dr. Cornish, who is effecting a miraculous recovery for the greatest of painters,"
During these days, Steele was con-
Btantly ut the lodgings, and wilh him,
sharing his anxiety, wns M. Herve
There were muny callers to Inquire—
painters and students of the neighborhood, nnd the greater celebrities from
lhe more distinguished schools.
Rnl no one was more constantly in
attendance than Alfred St. John. He
divided his time between the bedside
of his daughter nnd tlie lodgings where
Marston lay. Tbe talk that tilled the
Latin Quarter, and furiously excited
lhe studio on tbe floor below, was
studiously kept from ihe girl confined
to her couch  upstairs.
One duy while St. John was In the
Rue SI. Jacques, pacing the small cour
with Steele and Herve, Jean Hautecoeur came in hurriedly. Ills manner
wns  that   of  anxious  embarrassment,
and for a moment be paused, seeking
words.
SI. John's face turned while wllh a
divination uf bts tidings.
"Dues sbe need me?" he asked, almost breathlessly.
Ilniiteeoeur nodded, nnd SI. John
turned toward lhe dour. Steele went
with him, and, us Ihey climbed lhe
steep sluirs, the old man leaned heavily
un his support,
The Kentucklan waited in SI. John's
room mosl tif lhat night. In the nexl
apartment were the girl, her father
and tbe physician. A little before
dawn, the old man came out. Hts step
was almost tottering, and he seemed lo
have aged a decade since In- entered
the door of the sick-room.
"My daughter is dead," he said very
simply, as his guest paused at the
threshold, "1 am leaving Paris. My
peoplo except for me huve borne a good
name. I wanted to ask you to save
that name from exposure. I wanted to
bury with my daughter everything that
might shadow her memory. For myself, nothing matters."
Steele took the hand the Englishman held tremblingly outstretched.
"Is there anything else I can do?" he
asked.
St. John shook bis head.
"That will be quite all," he answered.
Sueh things as had lo be done, however, Steele did. and two days later,
when Alfred St. John took the train for
Calais and the Channel, it was with
assurances that, while they could not
at tbls time cheer him, at least fortified him against all fear of need.
It was a week later that Cornish
sent for the Kentucklan, who wns waiting in ihe court.
"I think you can see him now." said
the physician briefly, "and 1 think you
will see a man whu has no gaps in his
memory."
Steele went wtth some misgiving to
tho sickroom. He found Marston looking at him with eyes as clear and lucid
as his own. As he came up. the other
extended a hand with a trembllm*; gesture of extreme weakness. Steele
clasped it In silence.
For a time, neither spoke.
While Steele waited, the other's face
became drawn. He wns evidently
struggling with himself in desperate
distress. There was something to be
said whieh Marston found it bitterly
ditllcuit to say. At last, he Spoke slowly, forcing his words and bidding his
features In masklike rigidity of control.
"I remember lt all now. George," He
hesitated as his friend nodded; then,
with a drawing of bis brows and a tremendous effort, he added,  huskily:
"And '1 must go to my wife."
Steele hesitated before answering.
"You can't do that, Rub," he said,
gently. "I wns near her as long as
could be. I think she Is entirely happy
now."
The man In lhe bed looked up. His
eyes read the eyes of the other. If
there was In his pulse a leaping sense
of release, he gave It no expression.
"Dead?" he whispered.
Steele nodded.
For a time. Marston gazed up at the
ceiling with a fixed stare. Then, his
face clouded with black self-reproach.
"If I could blot out thut Injury from
memory! Ood knows I meant ii as
kindness."
"There is time enough to forget."
said Steele.
II was some dnys later thai Mnrston
went with Steele to the Hotel Voltaire.
Tliere was much to be explained and
done. He learned fur the first time the
details of the expedition Steele had
made to South America, and then to
Europe; ut the matter of the pictures
and St. John's connection wilh Ihem.
nnd of the mystifying circumstances of
the name registered at the Eyseel Palace Hotel.    That  incident they never
fathomed.
Sl. John bad buried his daughter tn
the Clmetler Montmartre. After the
tlrst mention of the matter on his recovery lo cm seiousness, Marston had
not again alluded to bis former wife,
until  he  wns  able  to  go  to  the  spot,
|nnd [dace a small tribute on her grave.
i Standing there, somewhat awestruck,
his  face  herame  deeply   grave,   and,
: looking up at his friend, he spoke wllh
i deep agitation!
"There Is one part of my life tbat
Was a tremendous mistake. I sought
to act wtth regard for a misconceived
duly nnd kindness, nnd I only Inllleted
Infinite pain. I want you to know, and I
tell you hero at a spot that Is to tne very
j solemn,  thnt  I  never abandoned   her.
j When I left for America, It was at her
command. It was* with the avowal
that 1 should remain subject tn her re-
cull as long as we both lived. I should
hav- i-cpi my word. H's not a thing
that I enn talk of again. You know nil
that has happened since, but for once
I must toll you."
Sleelo felt that nothing he eould say
would make tbe recital easier, und he
merely inclined his head.
■I shall have her removed to Bng-
mad. if St. John wishes It," Marston
said. "Ond knows I'd like to have the
account show some offsetting of the
debit."
As they left the gates for the omnibus, Marston added:
■ If Sl. John will continue to act as
my agent, he can manage It from the
uther side of the Channel. I shall not
be often in Paris."
Later, lie turned suddenly to the
ICcniiieldan, with a half-smile.
"We swindled St. John," he exclaimed. "We. bought back the pietures at
Saxon prices." His voice became unusually soft. "And Frederick Marston
can never paint another so good as the
portrait, We must set that right, Do
you know—" the man laughed sheep-
siiiiy—"it's rather disconcerting to find
lhat ono has spent seven years In self-
worship?"
Sleeie smiled with relief at the
change of the subject.
•'Is that the sensation of being
deified?" he demanded. "Does one
simply feci that Olympus is drawn
down to sea level?"
Shortly after, Marslun sent a brief
uuie  tu   Duska.
"I shall suy little," he wrote. "1 can't
be sure you will give me a hearing,
but also 1 can not go until I have begged it. : can nul bear that any report
shall reach you until I have myself reported. My only comfort is that I
concealed notnlng thnt I had the knowledge to lell you. Tliere is |)0W Ilu
blank lu my life, and yet il is nil blank,
nnd must remain blank unless I can
cume lu yuu. 1 um free tu speak, und,
if yuu give It to me. nu une else can
deny me the right to speak. All (hat
I said on thnl nighl when a cortain
garden was bat bed in ihi- moon Is
more true now than then, and now I
speak with full knowledge. Can ymi
forgive everything?"
And lhe girl rending the lottor lei II
drop in her lap, find looked out through
ber window across lhe dazzling whiteness uf the Promenade dos Anglais to
the purple Mediterranean,   Once more,
her   eyes   lighted   from   deep   cobalt   to
violet.
"Lul tliere wus nothing to forgive,"
she softly told tbe sea.
CHAPTER XXI.
When, u month later, Frederick
Marston went tu the hotel on the Promenade "les Anglais at Nice, it was a
much Improved and rejuvennted man
as compared with the wasted creature
wiio had opened the closed door of tlie
"academy" tn the Quartler Latin, and
had dropped the key on the flour. Although still a trifle gaunt, he was mucli
the same person who. almost a year
before, had clung to the pickets of
Churchill Downs, and halted in his
view of a two-year-old finish. Just as
the raw air of the north had given
place to the wooing softness of the
Riviera, and the wet blankets of haze
over tho gardens of the Tuileries to
the golden sunlight of the tlower-
deeked south, so he had come again
out of winter Into spring, and the final
result uf his life's equation was the
man that had been Saxon, untouched
by the old Marston.
Duska's stay at Nice had been begun
in apathy. About her were all the
Influences of beauty and roses and soft
breezes, but it was not until sbe had
read this Ilrst letter from Marston lhat
these things meant anything to her.
Then, suddenly, she had awakened to a
sense of its delight. She knew that he
would not come at once, and she felt
that this was best. She wanted him
to come buck to her when be could
cume as the man who had been In her
life, and, since she knew he was coming, she could wait. Her eyes had become as brightly blue as the Mediterranean mlrrurlng the sky, and her
cheeks had again taken un their kinship to the roses of the Riviera. Once
more, she was one with the nature of
this favored spot, a country thut some
magical realist seems to hove torn
bodily from the enchanted Isles of
imnglnation, and transplanted in the
world of Pact.
.Now, she became eager tn see everything, and so tt happened thai, when
Marston, who had not notified her of
the day of his arrival, reached her
hotel, it was tu find that she and her
aunt had motored over to Monte Carlo,
by the upper Cornlehe Road, that
show-drive of the world which climbs
along the heights with the sen below
and the sky. it would seem, nol far
above.
The man turned out again to the
Promenade des Angiitis. The sun was
shining on Its whiteness, and it seemed
that the city was a huge structure of
solid marble, set between the sea and
tbe color-spotted slopes of tho villa-
clad hills.
Marston was highly buoyant as he
made his way to the garage where he
could secure a ear to give chase. He
even paused with boyish and delighted
Interest tn gaze Into the glittering shop
Windows nf the Promenade and the
Avenue Felix Faun-, where were
temptingly displayed profound booklets
guaranteeing the purchaser a sure system for conquering the chances uf roulette "on a capital of ._.i. playing red
nr black, manque or passe, pair nr Impair, and compiled by one with four
yeurs of experience."
He had soon negotiated for a ear,
and had gained the friendship of the
chauffeur, who grinned happily and
with contentment when he learned that
monsieur's object was speed. Ahead
of him stretched nine mites of perfect
macadam, with enough beauty to All
tho eye and heart with joy for every
mile, and nt the end nf lho Journey—
unless he could happily overtake lier
sooner—was Duska.
The car sped up between the villus,
up to the white ribbon nf road where
the ships, lying at anchor In the purpled waler benenlh, were white toys
im lunger tban pencils, whore towns
wero only patches of roof tiles, and
mountainsides mere rumpled blankets
of greon and color; whore the road-
houses woro delights of picturesque
rusticity nnd flower-covered walls.
Thanks to a punctured tire, Marston
found a large dust-couted car stnndlng
nt the roadside when he had covered
only half of the journey, lt wns drawn
up near a road-house that sat hnek
of a rough stone wall, anl was aban
doned save for the chauffeur, who
labored over his task of repair. But
Marston stopped and ran up the stone
stairs to the small terrace, where, be-
tween rose hushes that crowded the
time-stained facade of the modest car-
avansery, were set two or three small
tables under a trellis; and, ut one uf
the taldes, lie recognized Mrs. Horton.
Mrs. Horton rose with a little gasp
of delight to welcome him, and recognized how his eyes were ranging in
search for an even more important
personage while be greeted her. Off
beyond tlio road, with iis low guarding
wall of stone, thc mountainside fell
away precipitously to thc sea, stretching out below in a limitless expanse of
the bluest blue that our' eyes enn endure.   The slopes were thickly wooded.
"We blew out a tire," explained Mrs.
Horton, "and Duska is exploring somewhere over the wall there. I was content to sit here and wait—but you are
younger," she added with a smile. "I
won't keep you here."
From inside the tavern came the
tinkle of guitars, from everywhere in
the clear crystalline air bung the perfume of roses. Marston, with quick
apologies, hastened across the road,
vaulted the wall, and began his search,
ll was a brief one, for, turning Into a
clearing, he saw her below him on a
ledge. She stood as straight aud slim
and gracefully erect as the lancollke
young trees.
He made his wuy swiftly duwn the
Blope, anil she had not turned nor
heard bis npirouch. lie went straight
to her. and look her in Ids arms,
The girl wheeled wil h u   llltle cry of
recognition und dollghti then, nfter n
moment, she hold him off al arms'
length, and looked al him. Her eyes
were deep, and needed no wolds. About
Ihem   was   all   the   world   ami   all   lllc
boauty »r u.
Finally,    she   Inughed-   wllh    Ilie   old,
huppy laugh.
"Onco," she snld very slowly, "you
quoted poetry to nn- a verse about Uie
young queen's crowning. Do you romombor?"
lh- noddnd,
"Lul thai doesn't apply uuw," he assured her. "You are going tn crown
me wiih un undeserved nml unspeakable crown."
"Quote it to me now," she commanded, wllh reinstated autocracy,
For a momenl, lbc man looked Into
her face as the siiii struck down on lis
delicate color, under the softness of
hat ami filmy automobile veil; then,
clasping her very close, he whispered
the lines:
"Beautful, bold and browned.
Bright-eyed nut of the battle.
The voting queen rode to be crowned."
"Do you remember some other lines
in the same verse?" she questioned, In
a voice that made his throbbing pulses
bound faster; but, before he could answer, she went on:
" 'Then    the   young   queen   answered
swift.
"We hold It crown of our crowning,
to take our crown for a gift.	
They turned together, and started
tq) the slope.
The End.

MEMORIAL MEETING IN HONOR
OF ISIDOR AND IDA STRAUS
Mnynr Gay nor, Bishop Thomas P.
Gallor of the t'nlversity of the South.
Jacob II. Sehlff, Andrew Carnegie, and
others participated in the great
memorial meeting at Carnegie Hull In
New York. Sunday, Muy 12th, In honor
nf [sldor Straus nnd itls wife, Mrs. Ida
Strnus, The audience was completely
representative of America's best citizens and all barriers nf race, nationality, and religion were swept away.
Every profession, lhe law, medicine,
the ministry, journalism, finance, were
represented. Tbo children of the two
whose death was being mourned wero
present. They are Jesse, Percy, and
Herbert, and Mrs. Hess and Mrs. Well.
Oscar Strnus nnd his family had a box
and all tho members of the Nathan
Strnus family who aro In this country
were present. Miss Julia Rlchmnn, an
Intimate friend of Mrs. Straus, made
muny weep ns she told of Innumerable
little Incidents of that noble woman's
netlvo life, bow kindness was always
ber watchword aud how sho seemed
never to have a moment to herself In
her exceeding solicitude for tho welfare of others. Mayor Gaynor said
there was Just a tinge of regret that
the body of Mr. Straus had beon recovered while that nf his helnved wife
lies In Its oteninl sleep In the great
deep. It wns pathetic after hor heroic
sacrifice, he snld, that oven this
separation hnd como about, but it hnd
been so ordered by fate, and all would
be content, He said that never lived
there a more just man, one with more
good in Ids heart, one whu did more in
a common-sense way for lhe advancement of the human race, an advancement always slow but certain. Mr.
Carnegie said that the memory of these
two heroic figures refusing to be parted In death will remain for future
generations as a most precious legacy
to make men proud of the human race.
Bishop •Gallor said: "With his arms
about the wife of his youth, faithful
to the ideals that made death preferable to dishonor, wllh high courage
and pure manhood, and a clear conscience, Mr. Straus faced God and went
calmly down Into the deep. Eternal
glory to him, Imperishable Is his renown, epic is tho story of his glorious
death."
DISCIPLINE MUST BE  MAINTAINED
No, young mnn, don't do it. Adopt a
firm attitude. If you can't afford the
theatre, invite her kindly and resolutely to enter the moving-picture show
and be ready wilh Iwo nickels. If she

GETTING IN TUNE WITH THE
INFINITE
To ilu- philosopher from New Zealand who has glanced at hnlf a dozen
newspapers over tin1 breakfaBt I able,
und bns then gone outside und from the
open space of Sl. Paul's watched the
ribbed steel shaft of the latest sky-
scraper forcing its steady way to the
clouds, tlie secret of our architecture
will at last be revealed. The spire of
the Gothic cathedrals voiced man's aspiration Inwards union with the Infinite. The tower of flfty-five stories
Is our unconscious attempt to escape
from the Bordidness of the marketplace of politics. The New Zealander
will think of ids morning newspapers
and then glance upward with longing
nnd envy at the men six hundred feet
above the curb who are engaged In
rearing columns that will carry them
still farther away from Hie crowd. For
these happy men there are no mean
struggles of mean politicians, no
furious battling over cheap motives,
no flaming moral outbursts from bosses, no muddy torrents of vituperation,
no snarling and biting, no shrieking in
public, places nnd eonfnbulntlng in
corners. Six hundred feet above the
ground these things are reduced to
their proper proportions.
THE TRAVELLER IN  AFRICA
Ho must remain to see the blazing
torment of the sun relieved only by the
torrential rush of the tropical rain, the
crashing of the thunder, and the blue
and flickering glare of the destructive
lightning. He must endure through the
long summer months the attacks of the
myriads of stinging and biting insects
by day, aud the even more harassing
onslaughts of mosquitoes by night.
Snakes ami other undesirable creatures
nf all kinds Invade his bungalow; his
clothes ntul his linen are continually
in a slate nf dampness. He Is often
down with malarial fever, with no one
but his callous and ignorant native servants to attend to his wants. Racked
with headache and with every bone
burning with fever, he must himself
select and administer his medicines,
besides giving the orders for sueh
nutriment as he may judge necessary,
and. thuugh he treats it as a matter
of course, what he suffers Is often far
In excess of the recngnltlon which bis
services receive. However torn by illness be may be, the work of the station
must go on; interminable native disputes must be settled, and settled satisfactorily. Defaulters must be given
fair trial, and the floods of contradictory and generally false statements
which How from the ready lips of
countless witnesses must be sifted and
garnered.
IN THE BORDERLAND
Winn Ilie Herman emperor threatened Alsace-Lorraine with annexation to
Prussia in case she refused to behave
herself he nol only Insulted Alsace-
Lorraine, whieh he Intended to do, hut
also Insulted Prussia, which he did not
intend to do. Prussia does not consider that annexation to herself is n
punishment, but then so much depends
upon the point of view. The .emperor
had to apologize for his Indiscretion,
not, of course, Ihe kind nf apology that
lesser mortals make, but one of the
diplomatic explanations that arc supposed to serve the sumo end. The
French and Germans In the annexed
provinces have not yet learned to live
in concord like lillle birds In a nest,
and Germany Is beginning to realize
lhat she made a profound mistake
when she concluded the French wnr by
an arrangement that created an open
wound and that kept It open. As Illustrating thc relations now existing In
Alsace-Lorraine there Is a story told
of an Alsatian who fell into thc Rhine
and wns In danger of drowning. Crying out In French for help he was regarded by a policeman on the bank
with glassy unconcern. Then he tried
German, but with tho same result. As
a Inst resort, and just us he was on
tho point of sinking, ho shouted "Vive
la France," and tho policeman at once
Jumped into the water und arrested
him.

Hul In point of antiquity these London discoveries are far surpassed by
the Interesl Ing finds reported from
Laiissel, in Hie Dordogne, Krance. An
explorer bns unearthed throe statuet-
■'tes. or bns-ivliefs. thai must have been
the work of men living 3,000 years before Christ. These statuettes represent a man apparently in the net of
throwing a lance and some women. The
figures of the women are somewhat
obscured and the features are obliterated, but the hair is neatly arranged and falls over the neck In long,
heavy curls. The figure of the man is
a prepossessing ono, thin, strong and
strongly suggestive of civilization.
Close at hand was discovered a frieze
supple, and all of these statuettes are
of much artistic merit representing
animals, including the horse and the
bison. If the Fran.ce of 3,000 years ago
was actually Inhabited by a people possessing any degree of civilization the
fact seems to argue againsl a good
many theories of evolution. If any of
these long past ages possessed a civilization approximating to our own,
which was subsequently overwhelmed
by barbarism and perhaps by natural
cataclysms, we may one day discover
traces of a civilization surpassing our
own, and what a shock that would bo
to our complacency.

11DWAHD l-'Itzgerald Bcale, whose
li biography Is given to us by Mr.
Stephen Uonsal, belongs to a type
lhat has disappeared with the need
for lt. A grandson of Truxton, he was
born ln the navy and his early years
were passed at sea. He fought at San
1'asqual and lt was he, in company
with Kit Carson, who carried to Commodore Stockton at San Diego the
news of General Kearny's situation.
Heale was In California at the time of
tlie gold discovery and he went east
with the news and with the ilrst samples of the precious metal. Bayard
Taylor called him "a pioneer in the
path of empire." for after his resignation from the navy he devoted himself
to the exploration of the desert trails
and the mountain passes that led
overland lo llm Pacific, while later on
he surveyed the routes nnd built Ihe
wagon roods over which passed the
mighty migration which created the
new world beyond tho Rockies, All

que description,
(..■ale's iirsi great adventure befell
him us fi buy. He was doputod by
(leiierai Kearny, boslogad at Son Pos-
HUttl, lo meet lhe enemy's envoys, aud
to  lre.it   (or an OXCltangO 0(  prisoners.
The incident was described by Senator Denton, who learned it t'roin Kil
Carson himself!
"This lad volunteered to go und hear
the propositions of exchange. Great
vii*- ihe alarm ai his departure, A
lx-barreled revolver, In addition to
the sword, per foe tiy charged and capped, was slowed under his coat. Thus
equipped, and well-iuoiiiited, be sel
out, protected by a Hag and followed
by anxious eyes and palpitating hearts.
The utile river San Bernardo wns
crossed ai a plunging gallop, without
a drink, though rabbi for water hoth
the horse and his rider, the rider having a policy which the horse could not
comprehend. Approaching a picket-
guard, a young alfarez (ensign) came
ut to Inquire for what purpose. The
mission was made known, for Bealo
spoke Spanish; and while a sergeant
was sent to lhe general's tent to Inform him of the Hag. a soldier was
despatched to the river for water.
'Hand it to the gentleman,' was the
Castlllan command. Beale put the cup
to his lips, wet them, In token of ac-
knowledglng jl civility, and passed it
hack; aa much as to say, 'we have
water enough on that hill.' The alfarez smiled; and, while waiting the
arrival of Don Andres, a courteous
dialogue went on. 'How do you like
the country?" inquired the alfarez. 'Delighted with it,' responded Beale. Tou
occupy a good position to take a wide
view." 'Very good; ono can see all
round.' 'I don'l think your horses find
the grass refreshing on the hill.' 'Not
very refreshing, but strong.' There
was, In fact, no grass on the hill, nor
any shrub but tbo one called wire-
wood, from the close approximation of
its twigs to that attenuated preparation of iron whieh is used for making
knit ling-needles, card-teeth, tlshtng-
hooks, and such small notions; and
upon which wood, down to Its roots,
the famished horses gleaned until com-
isionate humanity cut the halters,
and permit led them to dash to the
river and Us grassy banks, and become the steeds of the foe."
Dy this time three horsemen were
seen riding up. Arriving within certain distance they halted, snld Senator
Benton, ns only Cullfornhinn and
Mamelukes can halt, the horse, at n
pull of the bridle and lever bit. thrown
back upon his haunches and "motionless as tho equestrian statue of Peter
the Greal":
"One of tlie three advanced on foot.
unbuckling his sword and Hinging it
twenty feet to the right. The alfarez
had departed. Seeing the action of
the gentleman, Denle did the same—
unbuckled his sword nnd Hung lt twenty feet to his right. The swords were
then forty feet apart. But the revolver: there It stuck under his coat-
unmistakable symptom of distrust or
perlldy--sign of Intended or apprehended assaslnation, and outlawed by every
code of honor from the Held of parley. A stolen sheep on his back would
have been a Jewelled star on his breast
compared to the fixed fact of that assassin revolver under his midshipman'.*,
coat. Confusion filled his bosom; and
for u moment his honor and shame
contended for the mastery. To try
and hide it, or pull it out. expose it,
and fling It away, wns the question;
but with the grandson of Truxton it
was a brief question. High honor prevailed. The clean thing was done.
Abstracted from its close concealment,
tlie odious tool was bared to the light.
and vehemently dashed far away—lhe
generous Cnllfornlan affecting not to
have seen ll. Then breathed the hoy
easier and deeper."
As a result of his bravery, Beale was
Intrusted by Commodore Stockton with
dispatches for Washington and was
ordered to proceed there with Kit Carson, a journey of Immense labor nnd
danger. After they reached the Gila,
they found traces of Indians and Carson's experience foresaw a night attack:
"When he considered that the psychological moment hnd come, from indications that wero hnythlng but enlightening to his companions, Carson
met Indian strategy with tho trapper's
ruse. Carson und Heale and tho olher
riflemen cooked their supper rather
early ln the evening, and wrapped In
tbelr blankets throw themselves on tho
grass, apparently to sleep, but ns soon
as It was dark the men wero ordered
lo rise and to march forward for something more than a mile, again to picket their animals and to arrange tholr
pack-saddles so llmt they might serve
as a protection from the arrows of tho
Indians. At midnight the yell of the
savago wns hoard and a shower of
arrows fell around but wide of the
mark. The attacking party had not
ascertained with accuracy the changed
position of the travellers,   They dared
not approach near enough to see, for
in that case they knew the fate that
awaited them from the unerring aim
of Kit and his companions. After
many random shots and many unearthly yells the discomfited savages
fled before the approach of dawn. And
this was the last serious attempt made
by the "horse Indians" to prevent the
bearers of dispatches from crossing
their territory."
There are many amusing tales told
of the early days of American control
In California, and many of these relate
to the Hev. Walter Coltoti, who came
out as chaplain on the Congress. Tliere
was one in particular that lieale delighted  to relate In after years:
"When Commodore Stockton instituted civil government over the territory
so recently wrested from the Mexicans,
lhe Hev. Colton was appointed alcalde
of Monterey, where his duties wore
both administrative and judicial.
Gambling was then tho besetting sin
of the Mexican California)!, as il soon
became thai of the American Invader.
Tliere was also a dearth of milch cows
ln Ibe community, which wus all the
more   severely    felt    beeniise    In    those
days condensed milk and the other sub-
sliiules were unknown.
"tine day Iwo gamblers were brought
before the clerical alcalde as was also
a mngniflconl fresh cow. They were
charged wilh having gambled over It,
and the ownership of the animal was
disputed. The Lev. Colton considered
lhe story us set forth by lho Interested parlies with great interest and then*
submitted Iln* following decree:
" 'You, sir, lost the cow, consequently it does not belong to you.' Then,
turning to the other man, he said:
'Vou, sir, have won it—you have won
it liy gambling, but this is a form of
transfer that the court does not recognize. ]n my opinion, therefore, the
animal eschews to the court.' "
in iiiG_ Lieutenant Beale was appointed by President Fillmore as general superintendent of Indian affairs
for California and Nevada. Beale left
Washington on April 20 to undertake
his new duties, and his diaries are of
remarkable interest as reflecting the
prevailing conditions on the great overland route. Under date of May 22 he
writes:
"We had already overtaken and pass
ed several large wagon and cattle
trains from Texas and Arkansas, mostly bound for California. With them
were many women and children; and
It was pleasant to stroll into their
camps in the evening and witness the
perfect air of comfort and being-at
home that they presented. Their wa
gons drawn up in a circle, gave them
at least an appearance of security;
and within the Inclosure the men either
reclined around the camprlres, or were
busy In repairing their harness or
cleaning their arms. The females milked the cows and prepared the supper;
and we often enjoyed the hot cakes
and fresh milk of which they invited
us to partake. Tender infants in tbelr
cradles were seen under thc dielter
of the wagons, thus early Inured to
hard travel. Carpets and rocking
chairs were drawn out, and what
would perhaps shock some of our 'in
ladies, fresh-looking girls, whos:*- ros,
lips wero certainly never Intended I
bn defiled by the vile weed, sat around
the lire, smoking (lie old-fashioned
corn-cob pipe."
Indians were encountered on July ii.
Several of Ihem rodo into camp and
wen- entertained, and they then Insisted that Beale return with them to their
own encampment ten miles away.
Knowing that it is always best to aet
boldly witb Indians be compiled, and
apparently had no reason to regret it.
for In- was welcomed kindly liy tin
chief and told to "sit In peace':
"I brought out my pipe, tilled It, an!
we smoked together, in about fifteen
minutes a squaw brought In two large
wooden platters, containing some very
fat deer meat and some boiled e-.rn,
to which I did ample justice. After
this followed a dish which one must
have been two weeks without bread
to bave appreciated as I did. Never
at tho tables of the wealthiest in
Washington did I Iind a dish whieh
appeared to me so perfectly without a
parallel. It was some cornmeal boiled
in goat's milk, with a little elk Tat.
I think I certainly ate near half a peck
of this delicious atole. and then stop-
pod, nol because 1 had enough, but
because I had scraped the dish dry
with my lingers, and licked them as
long as the smallest particle remained,
which is 'manners' among the Indians,
and also among Arabs. Eat all they
give you, or get somebody to do It for
you. Is to honor the hospitality you
receive. To leave any Is a slight. I
needed lint the rule to make nie oat
all.
"After ihis we smoked again, ami
when about to start I found a large
bag of dried meat and a peek of corn
put up for nie to take lo my people."
Subsequent etieounlers with lhe Indians were not so friendly. Tho natives were willing enough to promise
tbelr aid to the selllers who would
follow, hul (bey wanted presents ou
Die spot, and as the party bad none
bj give tbem there was some Ill-temper which nearly resulted in trouble.
.Mr. Heap, who belonged lo Lieutenant
lieale's party, relates the following incident :
"At one time the conduct of a young
chief, the son of El Capital! Grande,
was near occiislonlnn serious consequences. He charged upon Felipe
with a savage yell, every feature apparently distorted with rafje; bis
horse struck   Felipe's mule,  and  very

nearly threw them both to the ground.
The Indian, then seizing Felipe's rifle,
endeavored to wrench It from his
hands, but the latter held firmly to his
gun, telling us at the same timo not
to interfere. We and tho Indians
formed a circle around them, as they
sat in tlieir saddles, each holding on
to the gun, whose muzzle was pointed
full at the Indian's breast. Ho uttered
many imprecations and urged his followers to lend him their- assistance.
They looked al us inquiringly, nnd we
cocked our rifles; the hint was sufficient—-they declined to interfere. For
some minutes the Utah and Felipe remained motionless, glaring at each
other like two game-cocks, each watching with Hashing eyes for an opportunity to assail his rival. Seeing that
to trifle longer would be folly, Felipe,
who held tbe butt-end of the rifle,
deliberately placed his thumb on the
hammer and raising it slowly, gave
warning to tbe young chief, by two
omttllous clicks, that bis life was In
danger, For a moment longer the
Utah eyed Felipe, and tben, with an
Indescribable grunt, pushed the ride
from him, aud lashing his horse furiously, rode away from us al full speed,
Felipe gave us a sly wink, and uttered
lhe highly original ejaculation—'Cara-
jo.'"
Heale was a sullleleiuly strong man
to champion tlie Modoc Indians at a
time when il needed some courage to
tell tlie truth concerning the treatment
ihey bad i elved and that led to the
uprising. He addressed n letter to the
Republican or < ihester, Pennsylvania,
which contains tho following notable
appeal:
"Let us pause for a moment before
committing ourselves to a policy more
savage and remorseless lhan that of tin
Modi ic h whom we propose to smite hip
and thigh. Let us ask ourselves if wc
are not reaping what we have sown,
nnd If the treachery to which the gal
lant and lamented Cnnby fell a victim
is not a repetition of a lesson which we
ourselves have taught these apt schol
ars, the Indians? Are we to think our
selves blameless when we recall the
Chlvlngton massacre'.' ln lhat affair
lhe Indians were invited to council
under flags of truce, and the rites of
hospitality, sacred even among the Bedouins of the desert, were violated as
well as all military honor, for these
poor wretches, while eating the sacred
bread and salt, were ruthlessly fallen
upon and slaughtered to the last man
The Piegan massacre was another affair in which we industriously taught
the uncultivated savages the value of
our pledges; and if we are correctly
informed the very beginning of the Modoc war was an attempt while ln thc
act of council to which they had been
invited to make Captain Jack and two
others prisoners. As to the bloody
character of Indian warfare, as far as
we can see, it is carried on by us with
about the same zeal. We read of a
sergeant ln the service of the United
States who tn the late attack on the
Modocs 'took the scalp of Scar-face
Charley, who was found wounded ln
the. lava beds.' And if we desire to feel
very good and free from barbarism
we have only to read what comes to
us side by side with news from tbe
Modocs of the humnne and civilized
treatment we are meting out to our
brothers in Louisiana, who differ from
us on political questions; or recall the
massacre and robbery and mutilation
of unoffending Chinese, which was
committed in broad daylight by American citizens in California a year or so
ago."
General Beale—for be had now attained high military rank'—had sufficient faith In the future of California
to purchase large tracts of land making in the aggregate an estate half as
large ns Rhode Island.
"A witty though absolutely groundless story Is told about Lincoln ami
General Beale, and the hitter's great
landed possessions. Lincoln is reported as saying that he could not re-appoint Beale as surveyor-ffcnernl because 'he became monarch of all he
surveyed.'
"As a matter of fact General Heale,
to the amusement of many uf his
friends, who have since died poor, purchased for cash all the laud in California of which he died possessed, and
the purchases were made long before
he became surveyor-general. While
Heale only paid five cents an acre for
much of this land, this was five cents
an acre more than most people at the
time thought it was worth, and It was
well known tbat for years no while
man could be paid to live on the place
during tiie general's frequent absences
for fear of marauding Indians nnd
white outlaws.
"General Beale enjoyed the 'surveying story,' as he called It. as well as
anyone else, but once he said, 'Some
day the archives of our country will
tell why Lincoln made me surveyor-
general. It had nothing to do with
rod or chain, but much to do with the
metes and bounds of the Union.'"
General Beale's ranch life was usually busy enough, but lie found time to
use his pen as a cudgel upon some
of the Sierra poets who were beginning
to write of pioneer days without much
regard to accuracy. In the course of
a vigorous rejoinder to Joaquin Miller,
he pays a tribute lo Kit Carson:
"Carson was a man cleanly of mind,
body, and speech, and by no manner
of means a border rufllan. He had no
gift of swearing. Tho only onth I over
heard him use was that of William
the Conqueror, which I hnd once read
him out of a stray volume of 'Tristram Shandy.' On this occasion, he
drew a long single-barreled pistol (old
Constable's make), which Fremont had
given me, ond 1 to Kit. for we had no
•gold-mounted Colt's, true companions
for years' In those simple-minded days,
and with slow, deadly speech, which
carried the sense of imminent mischief
In it, said to one who was In the act
of a cowardly wrong upon a sick man.
'Serjeant, drop that knife, or "by the
Splendor of God.' I'll blow your henrt
out.'"
Carson, bo says, was not only a man
of extraordinary courage, but he had
a power of loyal friendship remarkable enough even in those days, when
comradeship was among the greater
virtues.
"Without a thought of ever seeing
water again, you poured upon my
fevered lips the last drop tn camp
from your canteen. Oh. Kit, I thlnk

where we fought all day and travelled

e yourself. 1 see you leaning on
thai long Hawkins gun of yours (mine
now) and looking out of those clear
blue eyes at me with a surprised reproach as one who takes an Insult
from a friend. And 1 remember when
we lay side by side on the bloody
battlefield all night, when you mourned like a woman and would not be
comforted, not for those who bad fall-
but for tiio sad hearts of women
at home when the sad tale would be
told; and I remember another night
when we passed side by side in tlie
midst of an enemy's camp when discovery was deatli and ymi would not
lake a mean advantage of a sleeping
foe. Then you were with Fremont
and afterward al tho solitary desert

and with him died the era of the path-
tinders to which he belonged. Mr.

rather than to personal interests. His

A PARLIAMENT PERSONALITY
We have heard much in recent years
about tbe use of vituperation and Invective by our political orators. V
passage occurs In the newly published
Parliamentary Reminiscences of Mr,
William Jeans (who sat in the Press
Gallery of the Commons for over forty
years), however, thnt shows the
strength of language used In parliament In the sixties to have far exceeded our present limits of personalities.
It was during the fierce debate In 18(1.1.
regarding the purchase of tbe building
used for the Exhibition of 1801. Sir
Charles Wood, wbo suffered from a
nervous and hesitating method of
speech, had spoken for the government,
and was followed by Mr. Grant Duff
with this choice example of acrid ridicule. "The speech," he said, "which
we have just heard—If it could be
called a speech—was a sort of concatenation of broken iiiterjoetlonnry remarks, jerked out by a minister to
Whom Heaven has denied not only the
power of lueld statement, but also of
articulate speech." An attack of this
kind on a minister, adds Mr. .leans,
would certainly lie followed now hv
cries of "Order," and "Withdraw.'' but
n those more robust aud less sensitive days nothing happened, Tho
Sneiker did not Int erf en There was
a solitary cry of "Oh," and I remem
ber that Lord Palmerston turned and
gave Mr. Grant Duff one of those looks
which a prime minister bestows on i
mutinous or misbehaving supporter.

British Columbia, having a population of 392,480, according to the
final returns, just published from
the fifth census of Canada, the numlier of members to be granted this
province on the decennial re-adjustment of representation is found to
he thirteen, or six more than the
number of members of tlie Commons
now representing British Columbia.
According to the terms of Confederation the representation of Quebec
remains at the iixed numlier of 65.
In the ease of other provinces
tlie number of members is to bear
the same porportions to the numlier
of its population as ascertained at
each census as the number sixty-live
hears to the number of the population 30,811 obtained hy tlie division
of 65 into 2,002,712 the population
of Qubcc at the census taking year.
The number 802180, British Columbia's census enumeration, divided
hy 80,711 gives 12,78 and as tho
Act provides that, in tlie computation of the number of members a
fractional part of n number not exceeding one-half of the whole numbor requisite f.sr entitling Ihe provinco to a nienilier shall Ihi disregaad-
cd, hut a fractional part exceeding
me Imlf shall lie equivalent to the I
whole numbor, then it is manifest
that British Columbia's representation on re-adjustment must he 13.
On tho same basis Alberta's representation will be increased from
7 to 12; Manitoba from 10 to 15;
Saskatchewan from 10 to 16. The
total representation for the four
western provincs will thus be increased from 34 to 50, or an addition of twenty-two members. The
total population of Canada is given
as 7.204.838.
Tlie mayor of Stubenville, Ohio,
has introduced a new treatment for
the liquor habit that for prompt results has the "gatling gun" and
other remedies "beaten to a fizzle."
He compels the drunks in the police
court to don boxinggloves and pummel each other until thoroughly
sober. None of the patients have
suffered a relapse.
Milwaukee milk dealers, charged
with selling adulterated milk, pleaded that the undue proportion of
water wns caused by the cows being
exposed in a rain storm. This contention didnt hold water in the eyes
of the law and the court imposed a
fine and recommended them to provide tarpaulin rain shedders for their
herds during the wet season.
According to Government figures
there are now 850 rural mail de.
livery routes in Canada, of which
250 were established during the past
year. There are 25,000 delivery
boxes.    	
Advertise in the Free Press.
Jogging Laziness into Activity.
Tho merchant whose Inisiness lags
in tho summer has himsolf to thank.
To slacken the selling pace in tho
hot season—to lessen advertising
activity— indicates a resignation
which has no place in modern business. If we think we cannot keep
uur business booming in summer
time, we surely will not. What a
jolt it must, have been to the fur trade
when the tirst mid-summer fur ad-1
vertlseinent was run in a daily paper!
Now many fur stores are following
the example of this progressive fur
man who dared to believe that fur
sales need not go down ns the mercury goes up. Energy, linked with
advertising has turned  the month
f January into the biggest selling
season for white goods. Advertisements of a high stimulative power,
combined with a disregard of
"seasons," have opened up automobile selling two months earlier than
was once thought possible. Adve-
tising has started Christmas shopping early in Ootober instead of the
middle of Dcceinder. Advertising
rises superior to seasons ami thermometers. The right kind of advertising strikes a responsive curd in
human nature—and human nature
is the same in August as in December.

REVOLVING SAFE BURGLAR
PROOF
Witb      characteristic     thoroughness
the Germans hnve devised a real burglar proof safe, so cleverly designed
that it will baffle even the burglars
who work with lhe latest of oxygen
and aeetylne blowpipes. It is called
thc carrousel, or "roundabout safe."
It exhibits a polygonal steel structure revolving freely on ball bearings.
It Is built Into a wall and wben tho
outer door Is closed a small electromotor is set In mothm, whereupon the
safe starts revolving ceaselessly and
noiselessly on Its axis Within Its stone
chain lier.
Any   tampering   with    its    motions
causes an alarm bell to ring.    So long

"Ah, a gentleman's hat. den! No

"First case," he said, wearily, glancing at the calendar. "Smith versus
Dlnkelheim."
It wns a case of assault and battery,'
Dlnkelheim standing accused of having wantonly bit Smith in tlic face with
a canvas-covered bam.
'In order to expedite matters," said
the judge, after lhe plaintiff had been
sworn, "you may tell your story in your
own way, Mr. Smith."
"Well, your honor." said tho plaintiff,
"It was like this. I had gone into Mr.
Dlnkelhelm's delicatessen shop to wait
for tho up-trolley, and while Mr. Dln-
kelhelm's back was turned a dirty little
Italian boy rushed Into the shop and
grabbed a hunch of bananna. 1
seized blm by lhe neck, spanked him,
and restored the bananas to their place
on tbo counter."
"Does tho defendant deny the statement?" asked the judge.
"No. sir," replied Mr. Dlnkelheim.
"It Iss ass he says it vass."
"Mr. Dinkelbam wus so grateful for
tbe service I had rendered," continued
the plaintiff, "that he wished to reward me, but I declined. 'I will take
th'* will for tbo deed.' 1 said, but he was
not satisfied, and offered me a cigar,
pushing out the box. or a pickled cucumber, shoving forward tho pickle-
jar."
Here tin- plaintiff paused and flushed
slightly.
"And what then," asked the judge.
"And then." said the plaintiff, "well-
well, then, l—I—I took one of the
pickles, and pushed the cigar-box
away."
"Saying nothing?" demanded the
Judge.
"Woll, no. your honor," said thc
plaintiff, "l--er~I said ns 1 took thc

A groan rang through the courtroom,

The Kind You Haw Always Bought
*!_S
Boars the
Signature of
ning mo
for Hul
bachelnr,
called by
and  heir
llOI'ltURO.
When be went to Purls a few weeks
ago tin* Prlnco was an unassuming
and somewhat bashful youth. The
general opinion Ih (bat be will have
developed considerably by lho time lie
ret urns In lhe autumn, and perhaps
lhat expectation may account for tbe
activity of the matchmakers,
There Is no doubt as to tho desirability of the catch, for thero is no royal
mother on earth who would not gladly
seo her daughter wedded to the
prlnco, who Is heir to tbo triple crown
of England, Scotland and Irelnnd, the
Imperial diadem of India, tho lordship
of ono-fifth of the human raco and of
Ihroe-lenths of the habitable portion
of lhe globe.
Even this Is not all, for bo is tbe
inheritor of the enormous private for-
Uinc of the English kings, which means
their own personal property absolutely
and completely distinct from crown
properly which is held in trust by the
stale and which is daily increasing in
value. But we are not here making
an inventory of the Royal possessions
Whether in the form of accumulated
investments or landed estates or city
properties all over the United Kingdom, but discussing the problem of the
selection of a consort for the prince
which is rendered all the more formidable and puzzling by the fact that the
holr-apparent is debarred by thc constitution from marrying a Human
Catholic.
This may In part account for the fact
that until now two princesses only
havo been openly mentioned as probable brides—one is the Grand Duchess
Olga of Ilussln. eldest daughter of the
Czar, and the other is the Princess
Victoria Louise of Germany, only
daughter of the Kaiser.
Grand Duchess Olga, who is about
eighteen, too. Is a very pretty girl,
although she does- not possess her
mother's almost classical features and
exquisitely delicate profile. However.
Ihe union would doubtless be vigorously promoted by the Dowager Empress
of Russia and by her sister Alexandra.
Dowager Queen of Great Britain and
Ireland, for the latter adores her
arandson "David'' (Prince Edward's
nickname), as she docs also her i-'ister.
Marie Ddgmar.
No doubt also the now o\isling English government would bo far from
Crowning upon this union, since there
is fo much at slake In the present
Anglo-Itusslan alliance, which WOUld
he naturally immensely strengthened
thereby. On the other hand, the Conservative opposition In England might
possibly disapprove; and there is also
a vague rumor to the effect that King
George, as well as Queen Mary, would
not regard ihe connection as desirable.
Princess Victoria l-milse of Germany
would. In becoming tho consort of the
English heir apparent, absolutely wipe
out lhe—lo be polite In terminology—
latent animosity which several years
past has made cloud mountains rise iu
formidable array between tlie two
countries. Uut the English people arc
not in tlie least anxious to Germanize
tlie crown. Besides which, another ami
yet more potent reason for lhe non-
success of this project is that both Un-
English and the German courts are
Convinced that the young people arc
far from being attracted to each other.
To begin with. Princess Victoria
Louise has been brought up In a purely
German manner and among nu essentially un-English entourage. Her numerous brothers—she worships them
all—are emphatically anti-English. the
only member of her large family who
Is friendly to England being ber father,
who. though fond or lhe people, dislikes
lhe form of government.
There certainly an- other royal girl-
tn Europe who would be proud and
happy lo become Princess of Wall-.
Por Inslanco, the pretty fairy princess,
Ellsabolh of l.oinnunia, would he without   lhe  possibility  of * doubt   a   w«l-
como addition  to lha TCngllsh  royal
family were it only for the extraordinary popularity ut her mothor in tho
land of her birth. Daughter of th.'
wn Prince of Uoumanla, granddaughter of the Duke of Edinburgh
(who later nn became Duke of Saxe-
Coburg and Golh.O. ami of his consort,
Grand Duchess Maria of Uussla, Elizabeth, like ull those wbo arc thc Issue

THE REAL RODIN
i Born nt Purls In 1840— the natal year
of bis friends Claude Monet and Emllo
ZolO—and In humble circi.mstnnces, not
even enjoying a liberal education, tho
young Rodin had to light from tho beginning, fight for bread ns well as for
art schooling, lie was not sure of his
vocation.     An accident determined it.
Ho became a workman in lhe atelier
of Carrler-Delleust*. the sculptor, bul
not till he had failed at lho Beaux-Arts
t a stroke of good luck for hla genius),
and after he had enjoyed some tentative Instruction under the animal
sculptor, R-irye. He was never a
steady pupil of Baryo's, i.or did he *o-
maln witli him long. He wenl lo Belgium and "ghosted" for olher sculptors'; indeed, it waa a privilege—or a
misfortune—to have been the "ghost"—
anonymous assistant—for a half-dozen
sculptors. He learned hla technique
hy the sweat of his brow before ho began to make music upon his own Instrument.
How his tlrst work, "The Man With
the Erolccn Noae," was refused by a
Salon jury la history. Ho designed for
lhe Sevres porcelain works; he made
portrait busts, caryatides, architectural
ornaments for aculptora; all styles that
an- huddled in the yards and studios he
had assayed and conquered. No man
knew hla trade better, though we uninformed lhat with the chisel of the
practlclen Rodin was never proficient;
he could not or would not work at the
marble en bloc. Hut his compositions
today are in the leading museums of
the world, and by academicians he Is
admitted to possess "talent." Rivals
he haa none, nor will he have successors. Ills art Is too personal. Like
Richard Wagner, ho has proved a
upas-tree for many lesser men; he haa
absorbed them or else has been re-
fioctod by I hem. ills closest friend,
the late Eugene Carrloro, warned
young aculptora not to study Rodin too
curiously.
A profound aiudent of light and
movement, Rodin, by deliberate amplifications of surfaces, avoiding dryness
and harshness of outline, achieves a
zone of radiancy, a luminosity which
creates tho illusion of reality. He
handles values in clay as does a painter
hla tones. He secures the design of
tlio outline by movement, which continually modifies the anatomy — the
secret, he believes, of the Greeks. He
studies hia profiles successively in full
light, obtaining volume—or planes—at
once and together; successive viewa of
one movement. The light plnys with
more freedom upon his amplified surfaces, intensified in the modeling by
enlarging the lines. The edges of certain parts aro amplified, falsified, deformed, and wo get that light-swept
effect, that appearance ns If of lumin-
us emanations, This deformation, he
declares, was practised by thc great
sculptors to snare the undulating appearance of life. Sculpture, he asserts,
is the art of the hole and the lump,
not of clear, well-smoothed, unmod-
elled figures." Finish kills vitality.
Yet Rodin can chisel a smooth nymph
for you if he ao wills; but her llesh will
ripple and run in the sunlight. His
art Is one of accents. He works hy
profile In depth, not by surfaces. He
swears by what he calls "cubic truth ,
his pattern Is a mathematical figuro;
the pivot of sculpture ia balance—i.e.,
the oppositions of volume produced by
movement. Unity haunts him. He la
a believer in the correspondence of
things, of continuity in nature; a mystic doubled by a geometrician. How-
quarrels with any artist who does not
aee "tlie latent heroic in every natural
movement."
Therefore, he docs not force the pose
of hla model, preferring gestures and
attitudes  voluntarily  ndoptcd. His
sketch-books, as copious, as vivid as
tin* drawings of Hokusai—he Is very
studious of Japanese art—aro awlft
memoranda of the human machine as
it dispenses ita quotidian muscular
motions. Rodin, draftsman. Is as surprisingly original as the [sculptor
l^odin. He will study a human foot for
months, not merely to copy It, but to
run down the secret of Its rhythms.
Ills drawings are the swift notations of
a sculptor whose eye Is never satisfied,

whose desire to pin upon paper the
most evanescent motions of humanity
is almost a mania. Tiiis sculptor
avoids studied poses. The model

[vitality is in ii, and Is f<<r his purpo_e
'a bald notation of a motion. Not a
painter, but a sculptor, has made these
extraordinary drawings. It Is well to
observe the distinction. Rodin la the
most rhythmic sculptor of them all.
And rhythm is the codification of
beauty. Because he has observed with
a vision quite virginal, he insists that
hla affiliations are with tho Greeks.
But If his vision la Greek, hia models
are Parisian, while hia forms are more
Gothic than the pseudo-Greek of the
Academy.
THE   MOTOR   MECHANICIAN
Of all the jobs connected with auto-
raclng, that of mechanician is the I«.3t
tempting to the average man. The
drivers get all the credit for winning
or for breaking records—and they ar-
cortalniy entitled to all the credit they
get, But the mechanism does a powerful lot of work. He sits in the narrow little seat beside the driver, takes
all the signals from the pit. and .Also
signals the needs of the tar to the pitmen. As lie generally has to use both
arms to wig-wag a signal, you <:a*i see
that he Is taking a few chances. When

Wood—or
Concrete ?
n
IF you were to build two silos—one of wood, the other of concrete—side by side, and
then could tee them as they will look after five years of service, you wouldn't have
lo think twice to decide which it the best material. In a few years more there
wouldn't be much of the original wooden silo left—the repairing you'd have to do would be
as troublesome and cost as much as the building of an entirely new one. But lhe passage of
five, ten, fifteen or even twenty years will make no difference to the hard-as-rock wall of the

HEROES IN  OVERALLS
The work of the Carnegie hero fund
commission since its fund became
operative April  IS,  1904, Is t.r.e.ly told
in these figures:
Total number of awards, *83.
Awarded i<> wage worker*}, 406.
Awarded to students and schoolboys, 92,
Awarded to business men, 3.1.
Awarded to professional men. 25.
Awarded to women and girls, 31.
A large number of the awards made
to wage workers is admittedly traceable td> the fact ihai they are engaged
In perilous occupations, where the
opportunities for tho mnnifesatlon of
the heroic spirit are tbe most numerous.
Still the Ilgures show that wh-*n

A Gainful Occupation
i By W. Edson Smith)
The fut-vlsoged, pimply young man
with the sore eyelids gazed bitterly
down over the shabby roll-top desk.
"You'd better swipe the pennies off a
dead man's eyes," he growled sulkily.
At this ancient sarcasm the dissipated face of the employment agent
underwent a lightning change. It
stiffened coldly, and a sneer twisted
the good-natured mouth. Wells
stared Insolently up at his visitor.
"What's the matter with you, Hanson?" he queried sharply. "You registered only two weeks ago. You must
think that office positions are as thick
as flies."
Hanson shuffled his feet indefinitely.
"When a fellow pays you good
money, he ought to get some consideration—seems that wny to me," he
said.
Wells jammed some papers Into a
pigeonhole, Then he tipped his revolving chair backward tit u sharp
angle, putting one knee against tho
edge of the desk.
"You're gelling till the consideration
that Is coming to you," he mild with
finality. "You paid a fee for lhe privilege of filing yuur application with me.
ii was distinctly understood that thero
was lo he no strings to your measly
utile old two dollars, t told you ut tho
lime, the* chances for a man with no j Hi
experience were far nml few, bul you
were crazy lo get aboard then. 1
suppose lhal you've run across a good
Job driving a dray, or somelhlng of
that sort, and think you could use Iwo
dollars Oh? I don't sen It lhat way.
If 1 hOttr of nny vacancy lhat yon
match up tu, I'll let you know."
Hanson glowered.   "You're a hell of
a bUBlnoSS uian, aln'l you','" lie remarked heavily with nonr Irony.
"Thai's whut I am," cuiiid thc curl
rejoinder. "Anyhow, I'm uot easily
worked. Can I do anything moro for
you today?" he Queried in polite conclusion.   "My lime Is quite taken up,
hut of course "
After Hanson had shambled out and
down lhe hall, after lhe door of the descending elevator had slithered open
and clashed shut, the intelligence
broker still sat motionless, staring ut
the wall. And the wall was not far
uwny, for Wells had cramped quarters;
a mere, three-angled nick In the very
corner of a many-slorled building. Tlu*
outer side wns set with three windows
—In fact, three windwos might he said
to form the outer side. Through them
floated the traffic grind from one of the
busiest streets In town. The broker's
desk was close to the door so that he
could look over It at whoever entered.
This was a convenient arrangement. A
lift of the eyebrows and a practiced
shake of tho head was sufficient to, send
many of his less Insistent clients
stolidly down the hall again. In the
front angle of the office was a typewriter desk. Whether this was occupied by a stenographer depended not so
much on the amount of correspondence
as on the condition of the treasury.
Kmptoyment ngents are accustomed to
precarious existences.
Wells bud a hundred romantic stories
fllod nway behind his eyes, and half
forgotten. He did not deal in servant
maids, nor yet In railway hoboes. To
him came the eager youngsters with
their litlle mockery of knowledge acquired at one of tho hundred business
colleges, cheerfully pouring their attainments Into his cynic ears; modestly requesting secretaryships to heads
of corporations. To him came deserted wives, fearfully eager lo take up the
bitter task tif earning their dally bread;
pitifully sure thut tbeir worldly knowledge—salvage of a day gone by-
would stand them In good stead. To
him men with hair of silver grey, proud
beggars who were stumbling down that
long ladder to the stars, taunted nnd
Inughed at by climbing youth.
Every one camo. A steady stream of
something that was onco crystal with
hope but was now muddled with a trl-
Imiary despair trickled into the room
wltb its one door. It might bave been
■! confessional. And yet he was young.
wus Wells. That Is. he was young In
these things-he was slender nnd his
brown hulr bad no streaks of gray; and
his sklu was smooth us a hoy's. Uut
his eyes spoke eloquently of the thousands of troubled years that had lieen
left with blm by his petitioners—victims—what you will.
.lust now ho snt tilted back In a rare
solitude und gavo himself over to those
pitiless ones- the blue devils.
"Thnt fellow wns right." he groaned,
"I'm exactly whnt he said 1 was. Tng

(ales of woe from Tom, Dick and
Prisclllu. und never lay up the price of

kind Mr. Wells, dear Mr. Wells, If you
will get me that ho-yow-tl-ful position
1 will bn eternally In your doht!" And
confound II, whan l do-lhey nre eternally In my debt."
Arising, he went over to lhe farthest
window and stared mournfully Into the
street from bis second-story vantage
place, standing with ono foot on the
low sill. Wells was distinctly shabby.
He never seemed to hnve time, money,
or Inclination lo attire himself like n
'Helmet* model. A trlltle down at tbe
heel a trllle baggy al the knee, and i
tri lb* of a leaning toward last season's
stylo, no far nm any style at all was
distinguishable. That     was    Wells
Home peopte snld thnt ho hnd been disappointed In love; some Inferred that It
was a terrible thirst. Nnlthor supposition was absolutely correct. It was
lust Wells.
■There was a tentative fumbling of
the door knob by somo ono In tho hall
without. Tbo meditating ono straight-
ened up to tho limit of his lazily
stooped shoulders, yawned once at tbe
September afternoon In general, once
nt himsolf In particular, nnd forthwith
took tho two stops necessary to steal
tho base of tho chair behind the desk.
This action seemod to bo automatic
So, too, wns tho rapid rush of his fom. ■
tain pen across n shoot of paper. Tho
Inttor must certainly hnvo been automatic   Whnt ho wrote was this:
"I'm a dub. I'm a gyastacutus. it's
about time I wus being good lo myself
for a while."
Having written this very important
paragraph three times, Mr. Wells
blotted it, placed It in a pigeonhole, und
then glanced up with the trite, "What
can I do for you?"
. It was a girl who came doubtfully,
hesitatingly, around his desk, and, it
his inviting nod, sank wearledly Into
the chair near him. Sho waa a de-
n.ure, graceful little thing, nineteen
perhaps—fragile and slender. Her
silky brown hair showed smoothly
combed, and she wore an unworldly
frock of simple white stuff with Infinitesimal flowers scattered hore and
there in Its pattern—a dress which
would have charmed birds or hoes, or
country lads, maybe, ln some old-
f ash toned garden, lint birds and bees,
and gardens were hopelessly far away,
and lho delicate face was tinged with a
pallor thai should not have heen there.
"Mr. Wells'."' she Inquired faintly.
"Ves."
" I " she hesitated. "I would like
a position, If you please."
Wells considered soberly, "Will you
take It with you?" he queried at. lasl
wllh a twinkle,

The listener suppressed a sigh. Thore
woro so many girls who resembled her
lu thai one particular. She apparently
divined  Ills Ihoiights.
"I do need a position very, very badly," she added earnestly. "Anything at
all—oh, anything at all lhat 1 can do!"
This last came out with frantic eagerness. And then the cough—a tearing,
strangling struggle with disease thai
tinged her cheeks a (laming red. and
left little crimson flecks upon her handkerchief.
Wells steeled himself with an armour
of professional apathy. lt wns one of
the pitifully impossible cases.
"Out here for your health, 1 suppose?" he questioned in perfunctory
fashion after she had struggled Into a
panting silence.
The girl nodded without speaking,
her lovely gray eyes fastened upon his.
Ho picked up a steel paper-cutter and
mnde angry jabs with It at the desk
blotter. Among other things he
thought of a trapped bird.
"Ever do uny office work?" he asked
helplessly, following the old routine.
"No," she replied soflly, "I have
never worked—at anything." Sho
stopped, then went on as if a further
explanation was necessary. "My home
Is up north—In a town called Hawthorn. I got this awful cough two
years ago. And last winter it was so
much worse the doctor said it wns my
only chance—to come to a climate like
this " She faltered Into a momentary, piteous silence. Wells had
heard so many variations to the theme
l luu ho made no direct comment. Instead he sought to relievo the tension
of the narrative.
"Father Irish?" he asked, quizzically.
The girl looked at him, startled for
one second, then smiled rellevedly at
bis friendly regard.
"You mean my eyes," she said simply, "Yes, he wns Irish. My name is
Kathleen Desmond. But my mother Is
French." she added with quaint frankness. Tbe shadow stolo ovor her face
again.
"We didn't have much money," she
continued. "Mother and I lived alone
lu a tiny cottage"—thoro was a caress
in the slow words—"and now. after all.
tho doctor hero says that It's no use,
that I must go farther south." Miss
Desmond hesitated, regarding the man
With gravity. "I cannot ask my
mother for monoy," sho resumed; "she
hns no way of getting more than just
enough to pay my board here. And I
thought of finding something to do, sn
that 1 eould save onough to got a place
whore I can he truly well. I hope that
I haven't taken Up too much of youi
time." she concluded with sweet courtesy.
"Ob, no! I suppose you can write
legibly?"
"1 think so. 1 might show you."
She looked at him doubtfully.
"Belter fill out one of these applications—over on tho table— there. Answer the printed questions. I can got
nn Idea from that of your penmanship."
Without a word she seated herself at

slim fingers for a second. Then his

Heaven know she ought lo be In bed
hi uue where In a hospital. He took the
paper which sho held timidly out to
him and looked at It absently.
"Yes, Very fOOd" ho Bald, "Now,
Miss-or Miss Desmond, T happen to
havo a llttlo work on hand that can ho

"Yos, Just so," Interpolated Wells
hnsttly. "It Is some addressing I want

*'T—I think so," sho replied slowly.
"This Is tho wny, Is It not?" She
oopled (ho contents of tho flrst enrrt on
un envelope In a dainty, ornmpod hand.
"Suro! Thnt's It exactly!" snld
Welts carelessly.   "And, sny—I'm  go
ing to be out on tho street for tho
greater part of the afternoon. If any
one drops In to see me, tell thom to
come again at five. Same for the
'phone."
Miss Desmond propounded a question
full of quiet eagerness ns he turned to
leave tho room. "How much—could
you tell me much I'll get for this?"
He hesitated, hand upon the open
door. After all, such sums were terribly inadequute.
"Why—er—Mayer, the mun who is
having those done, pays 10 cents. Of
course, I understand it isn't much.
But I thought It would give you a start
In the right direction."
"Oh, I think It's fine!" she exclaimed
happily. "I'm thankful to you for giving me the chance."
It was somewhat after five that he
camo In again and (found the girl still
bending over the unaccustomed task,
lie busied himself at the telephone for
a time, and then leaned back and looked over at the frail toller.
"lietter not keep at lt too long," he
advised easily; "if you don't get them
all done you can come down in the
morning bright and early—nine or so—■
ami finish them up. When you leave
tonight pull the door shut, If you will
please," ho added by way of farewell.
"It's a spring lock.   Good night!"
It was one morning almost a week
afterwards lhat Miss Desmond cani"
lnio Ihe office again. Wells was alone.
It was early ami Ihe procession of applicants hud not formed up us yol. lie
.as feeling badly Unit morning. There
•ere three or four vacant pashms lu
view which would easily not him a
hundred dollars in  commissions—aud
one lo Illl Ihem.      Moreover.  Wells
had dined tho previous evening in
long drawn-out fashion, with many
strange drinks to punctuate tho record
of lhe dining. Ami he had break fast id
on black coffee ami tho memory of a
Turkish bath, So tho effeel of nn
otherwise cordial greeting wns somewhat spoiled by tho luridness of hla
oyos.
"I suppose you are cross with mo,"
she began, "for quilling that night before tho work was done and not coming
back. I felt badly about It, Mr. Wells,
I did Indeed!     You see I "
"Il didn't matter," he Interjected;
"really It didn't, Thero wore only a
dozen or so of the blamed envelopes
left and I did them mysolf nexl morning.    That was all right."
"I simply had to leave thom undone,"
she wont on wearily. "I had a bad
time with my cough. I—I could
scarcely get over to tho street car and
out to my room. I've been sick ever
since."
"Too hod! Too had!" sympathized Well. "1 suppose that kind of work
Is a bit too strenuous at present—eh?"
"Perhaps," assented the girl; "but 1
hope to get something easier at Santa
Fe. It's there I'm going. And to
think—I renlly owe It lo you! If you
had not given me the opportunity 1
can'l say whut would have become of
me. For I couldn't havo gone; the fare
alone Is eighteen dollars. Thanks to
you I will have nearly fifty."
Wells stared blankly. The girl
coughed for a long, agonizing mlnule
and, whon the spasm was over, sat with
her face hidden ln her hands. The
man nt the desk stirred uneasily.
"Let me see," he queried; "how much
wore you to receive for that hunch of
nddresslng?"
"Ten cents, you said." replied the girl
simply "I did four hundred and sixty-
three That would mnke forty-six dollars and thirty cents. Do you know,
Mr. Wells, thai Is the first—the very
flrst money I ever enrnod myself. I
can hardly bellvo that It Is really true."
The girl's eyes shone like misty stars.
"And I'm so happy to think thnt lho
money will he the means of making mc*
well."
There was an Interval of sllcinw., ,f
you misname silence something which
was really a medley of morning nolseo
from tho clashing street.
I'h-huh!" vouchsafed Mr. Wells ut
last, somewhat Jerkily. He gulped
down a sigh and reached Into a corner
for his checkbook. 'Td better pay you
the amount right now," he said, "before
I forget lt. And I hope yon find the
Mexican air as advertised."
A little later he Inspected himself
carefully In tho depths of a certain
spacious mirror downstairs.

THE    MAN-EATER    OF    KARKAN-
KOTE
In November. 1006, t wns fortunate
enough to be included In ono of tho
Mysore shikar parties which nro generally arranged every yeur. The hos-
pltnllty of His Highness the Maharajah of Mysore was proverbial In
Bout hern India, and It wns entirely
due to his kindness that we were allowed to Shoot In Ihe "closer forests,
which were, ns a rule, exclusively reserved for royalty. These parties
were usually mado up of the Ynvuraja
ithe brother of the Maharajah), another native prince, and iwo or three
llritish officers from Uni galore. The
arrangements for ones comforl were
made on u most lavish scab* as regards
lenls, living and transport, but wheu
It came to the shikar pari or the business one was left almost entirely free
to do as one pleased, and make one's
own "bandobust" wllh the nsslslunce
of the Inspector or game preserves and
the forest game watchers. Success or
failure wns therefore due In n great
measure to one's energy, ability, nnd
or course luck.
AHer a run or about two hours
Ibrough the beautiful "garden" slate
of Italia we arrived at a "tlnk"
bungalow, the name or which I ninnot
for the moment remember, where we
spent lhe night, nnd discussed plans
for Ibe next ten days. We bnd already received news or a tiger which
had made his home near tho small
hamlet of Kurkaiikole, and hnd hoard a
pitiful tale of lis depredations from
tho villagers. This particular animal
had taken an enormous numbor of
cattle during the last few months, nnd
quite recently hud killed nnd eaten a
native,   Naturally, these poor people
were very noxious to be rid of their
most unwelcome visitor, nnd we wore
very keen to assist them In this respect. Accordingly we dorlded to tlo
up donkeys in Ihe vicinity In the hope
of getting a "kill" and to depart to the
were several herds in the neighborhood but wc generally lot them alone,
as il was almost a hopeless task to
get up to them, us the jungle was very
thick at this lime ut the yenr, und it
would only be by the greatest fluke if
one happened to drop on a good bull
without disturbing lhe more numerous
cows and calves. H. had shot quite a
good solitary bull, and one small herd
bull luul also been bagged. A day
never passed without ot least one of
our parly coming across bison, und in
sueh pleasant surroundings we had almost forgotten about the tiger, and had
decided lo spend the remainder of our
short leave at our present camp. However, on tho morning of the eighth day
news enme into camp by runner lhal
the Karkankote tiger hail killed during
the nighl. We accordingly moved to
that plate next day, und tied up three
donkeys, hoping that the llgor would
kill again lhat nighl, as the following
day was Hit- last of our leave. II. and
1 were Up al dawn, nml, nu visiting the
place where lhe donkeys had been
tethered, found lhal Iwo of them had
beeu Killed and dragged away. We
located the tiger In some thick jungle,
und made certain that ho had nol lefl,
as no fresh tracks could anywhere bo
found leading away from lhe place. We
then seni word bail* lo the dak
bungalow to have iill the available
men collided us healers, and for men
to come mil .-il once to build our
machans, While we wore visiting ihe
kills u*e came across Iwo Indian red
dogs. This was the first time 1 had
ever seen one of these animals, and I
was much impressed by their build,
which was certainly for speed and
strength. They wore on lhe high road,
and Stood for some time looking at us
at a disiance of from 25 to 30 yards.
Thoy ottered u very easy shot, and,
much as I desired to possess the skin
of one, 1 had lo refrain from shooting
for foar of disturbing the nobler animal which we felt confident was close
nl hnnd.
The arrungemenls for thc beat were
not complete until about li p.m., but
everything had been done very carefully, and our hopes for success ran
high. I must here give a brief descrlp
tion of the jungle that we intended to
beat, lt must be known to the Prince
and Princess of Wales, our present
king and queen, as lt was the scene of
the famous khedda operations which
many attended In the spring of the
same yenr. Two miles north of Karkankote the road leading lo the foot
of the Xillghlrl Hills runs almost
parallel to the Kubbanl river, and
distant a few hundred yards from It.
The larger timber was mostly teak,
with fairly thick undergrowth. The
mnchans were placed in line running
at right angles from the road to the
river. Slops were put along the rive
bunk and at lhe edge of the jungl
ulong the roud. The former precaution was taken ns the natives reporteil
having seen the tiger swimming across
lhe river. The beaten were ussem
bled to the north, und were to work
towards Karkankote, Soon after hav
lng occupied our machans a faint
noise In the distance conveyed to
that the bout had commenced) and
few minutes later an unmistakable
roar was heard, and wo knew that
"Stripes" was at home, and evidently
objected to being so rudely awakened
from his siesta al sueh an hour. The
next tew moments of waiting seemed
an age. An ulmosl painful .
reigned, oruhen Oni) >*• uie cries of
the beaten some hundreds of yards
away. From the scrub just In front of
me a solitary Jackal emerged, und
paused for several seconds to listen to
the unusual commotion. This little
Image   then   come   towards   me.   and
squatted under my machan. a few
more seconds elapsed, when my attention was attracted by a small bird
Hilling from a bush lo my left front.
In ordinary circumstances such a
trivial occurrence would doubtless nave
passed unnoticed but I attribute this
fai-t. Insignificant as It may seem, to
the bagging of my first tiger, for almost Immediately li appeared from behind this sume bush, and had not more
than u couple of yards to cover before
he would be lost In view again If ho
utinued In his present direction.

gathered round lhe carcass, there
being no other tigers In the bent. My

one; It wns high up and a Ullle fat-

the in list's back. It was an old animal In excellent condition, but Its
lower tooth were very much worn. It
measured 9 feet 2 In. lietween uprights. We then returned to Karkankote. reaching the bungalow soon after

In Juno of last year 1 found that 1
could spare a little time from the
strenuous life I hud been leading as an
Alberlan prairie farmer, and at once I
began to look about for something that
would provide a thorough change. My
thoughts naturally turned towards a
trip across the Uocky Mountains into
beautiful    British     Columbia. One
could scarcely Imagine a more pronounced change from the bleak, treeless prairie than the fertile valleys and
flowing rivers, thick forests and snowcapped hills of British Columbia. Accordingly, my decision made. I journeyed from Calgary to Vernon, thero
lo pay u long-promised visit lo a
friend who had a fruit farm In that
part of the country. What u gorgeous
trip It wns across the mountains! No
words of mine can express tho beauty
and grandeur of lis scenery. I was
compelled to spend a night at Slca-
mous Junction to tuke tho branch lino
down the Ok aim gnu Valley. The
C. P. It, have built a magnificent hotel
on the banks of Khuswap Lake, uud
hud ll not been for Hit- mosquitoes l
should have liked to have made a longer slay thero, as the fishing in the lake
was in full swing al Ihe time. 1 found
thnt my friend at Vernon was as willing as I to lake a holiday, so after
spending a fow days on his furm wo
decided lo put In a fortnight camping
out and fishing on Sugar Lake, which
sheet of water is about sixty miles oast
of Vernon.
We collect ed our equipment and
borrowed a lent in Vernon, going on
from there to Lumby. l.umby Is a
small village reached by motor stage
and is ubout twenty miles on tho way
to the lake. We spent a couple of days
there fishing the numerous small
creeks surrounding It; the sport was
good though the fish were all small.
With considerable difficulty we succeeded In hiring a man wilh a team
und rig to take us thc balance of the
way. The latter part of the trail was
had and only fit for pack horses, we
wero told. However, we found a man
who was willing to try it, and we hud
tho wisdom to charter him for the return journey. It was hoth hot und
duBty, hut we made good time the first
twenty-five miles. After that It wi
wretched travelling. Just a rough
trail had hen made by the settlers for
sleighing In the winter time and some
of lho irees hud heen left a foot or two
high. In some cases we had to chop
those down and had also lo chop a
couple of windfalls out of the way,
The leasl said about the holes and
grades the better. Fortunately the
horses were willing and Iho rig strong,
so no harm was done. We arrived at
Inst on the banks of Shuswap river and
found our way up to Ihe lake, barred
by a swiftly (lowing creek, which our
driver refused to cross. We bundled
out our stuff, nnd ns the rig returned
to u slopping house about fifteen miles
on tho road home, we struck up to the
creek to try and find n wny across
without getting our blankets nnd provisions wet. Fortunately we found a
wlndfnll stretching right across tho
creek, and following a track for about
three-quarters of a mile we came to
the lake side. There we found an old
Norwegian living ln a log shack he
hud built himself. He was more than
seventy years old and had just taken
up u homestead there. Fancy going to
llvo alone sixty miles from a railroad,
hardships and Insecurrty'Vifa p?onoer!*i
llfe at that age! Yet tho old man was
as pleased with his homestead as a
child wilh a now toy, bul I trembled
to think what would happen to him
when some of tho ullmcnts ono
naturally associates with old ngo,
should attack him. He lent us his
boat to fetch our baggage up In. lt
was easy enough to take the boat
down, but when It came to pulling hor
up again heavily laden it was unother
mutter. We ouch took a turn at It, but
the current was too strong, und each
lime wo wore washed down stream and
bad to creep up the side again lo hang
on to a convenient tree. Wo could
hear the falls ronrlng about one-quarter or a mile lower down, so enrrlod
our stuff over the creek by bund to a
convenient site close tu the old Norwegian's shuck, where we pitched the
tent. 1 had no difficulty in bringing
the boat up empty the next day. It
was a beautiful flpol In which to camp.
Ity the lime we had things fixed up tho
old mnn had a delicious supper of fried
i rout aud fresh bannocks ready for us.
to which we did full Justice. After
supper we lighted a big firo and lav on
our blankets, pipes full on, nt ponce
with Iho world, wntchlng the flickering
(lames, listening to the oroaklng of the
frogs and dreaming of (he big fish Wfl
would catch on the morrow.
The following day, after a hourly
breakfast, we got off up lhe hike In the
bout. The hike Is about nine mllos
long by six wide wltb an island In the
middle, and Is fed liy the upper Shuswap river nud numerous creeks, off the
mouthfl of which there Is excellent
fishing. The weather was perfect and
lu a lillle while we both stripped to
the waist to enjoy a, delicious sun bath,
We hnd two trolls out, a long and a
short otic The long one, which was a
large spoon ball, which we always
found Ihe mnst successful, caught the
first fish, a fine Dolly Varden trout
which weighed eight pounds, ll was
the only big fish we caughl lhat day.
bul we got numerous smaller ones
varying from half a pound to throe
pounds. Some we caught trolling and
some wllh fly rods. I always think Ily
fishing Is much better sport and more
exciting than trolling, nnd would
rather catch a two-pounder with my
rod than a slx-pnunder on tho lino.
We landed at ltalnbow Creek und hnd
an enjoyable bath, though we had to
light a smudge to keep off tho nms
lulloes whilo we woro drying. Wo
boiled a couple of the trout we hnd
just caughl for dinner. We hnd no
luck in the nftornoon. but In the evening wo caught a lot of fish with our
rods In front of the tent nt the mouth
of the lake. It was here that wo alwnys   hnd   our   host   sport;    rowing
gently up and down under the bank
we never failed to have some luck. We
found lhe best bait was the natural
moth or butterfly. The lake was
really too high to get the very best
fish.
One night we awoke lo find ourselves
lying In water and our tent pitched on
an eminence, an island. The lake had
risen nearly two feet during the night,
and we hnd to shift our tent hack into
the woods. One day we tried fishing
below the falls, where, when the water
Is low, one can catch any quantity.
We had no luck, however. Although
a terrible plnce to approach, the .Shuswap Falls are a magnificent sight and
worth thc trouble of getting to. Thore
is a scheme on hand lo harness the
fulls and use the power for an electric
railroad.
Our fortnight passed all loo quickly.
Once our stay was enlivened by a
visit from three gold prospectors, whom
we photographed, along with our Norwegian friend, standing In front of his
shack. We listened to many an Interesting tale of the country, with which
Ihey were fumlltnr.
uur hunting was a disappointment,
for a couple of loons and as many
chipmunks and water snakes as we
liked was the sum total. Then- are
many deer nnd bear, a few goats and
an occasional grizzly hear to be met
wilh, hui unfortunately we never met
any.     We   had ,some   glorious   fishing.
wever, and long shall I remember
the taste of the beautiful pink trout
fresh caught from the lake.
Our driver came for us as arranged.
We should not have been greatly surprised If ho had not turned up on the
date specified. This time we did not
drive the first ten miles; our first experience had been quite enough. We
Plodded behind the horses, lending a
hand when necessary to extricate the
rig or assist the horses. Our driver, a
French-Canadian, whose language was
picturesque, would never have returned to us hud we not chartered him
for the return trip and refused to pay
hlm anything until he had delivered.us
safely back at nur destination. We
broke our journey at Lumby and
reached Vernon the next day. t

Not for an hour since the sale began have we allowed it to lag. Whenever a lot sold down, or entirely out it
was replaced by another equally attractive. The entire stock from the warehouses is now on the floor. There
