Chip McGuire, a lti-year-old Kirl Jiving at Tim's place In tlie. Maine woods is sold by her futher to Pete Boldue, a lialf-breed. She runs away and readies the camp of Martin Friable, gcuupied by Martin, Ida wife, nephew, Kayrnond Stet-uon, and guides. She tMls her story and is cared for by Mrs. Friable. Journey of Friable'H party Into woods to visit father of Mrs. Frisbie, an old hermit, who has resided In the wilder news for many years. When camp is broken Chip and Ray oc­cupy same canoe. The party reach camp of Mrs. Friable/» father and are wel­comed, by him and Cy Walker, an old friend and former townsman of the her­mit. They settle down for summer's stay. Chip and Ray are In love, but no one realises this but Cy Walker. Strange canoe marks found on lake shore in front of their cabin. S t r a n g smoke is seen across the lake. Martin and Levi leave for settlement to get officers to arrest McGuire, who is known as outlaw and escaped murderer. Chip's one woods friend, Tomah, an Indian, visits camp. Ray believes he sees a bear on the ridge. Chip is stolen bv Pete Boldue who es­capes with her in a canoe. Chip is res­cued by Martin and Levi as they are re­turning from the settlement. Boldue es­capes. Old Cy proposes to Ray that he remain- In the woods with himself and Amzi and trap during the winter, and he concludes to do so. Others of the party return to Greenvale, taking Chip with them. Chip starts to Bchool in Greenvale, and finds life unpleasant at Aunt Com­fort's, made so especially by Hannah. Old Cy and Ray discover strange tracks in the wilderness. They penotrate fur­ther into the wilderness and discover the hiding place of the man who had been sneaking about their cabin. They investi­gate the cave home of McGuire during his abaence. Boldue finds McGuire and the two fight to the death, finding a watery grave together. Ray returns to Greenvale and finds Chip waiting for him. Ray wants Chip to return to the woods with them, but she. feeling that the old comradeship with Ray has been broken, refuses. When they part, how­ever, it Is as lovers. Chip runs away from Aunt Comfort's and finds another home with Judson Walker. Sho gives her name as Vera Raymond. Aunt Abby, Aunt Mandy Walker's sister, visits them, and takes Chip home with her to Christ­mas Cove. Chip goes to school at Christ­mas Cove. 8lie tells Aunt Abby the story of her life. Aunt Abby tells her ot their family, and site discovers that Cy Walker is a long-lost brother of Judson Walker, but fear of betraying her hiding

f>lace prevents hor -telling of Cy. Old Cy nvestlgates McGuire's cave in the wilder­

ness and finds a fortune that belongs to Chip. Old Cy returns to the wilderness camp with the news that Chip had dis­appeared nnd proposes to start out to find her. He turns over to Martin a bank book showing a deposit of $60,000 in Chip's name. Chip returns to the homo of Jud­son Walker ut Peaceful Valley for a summer vacation. Chip tells Judson of summer vacation. Chip tells Judson of Cy and writes a note to Martin which dis­closes her hiding place. Martin Immedi­ately visits the Walkers. He gives Chip

-her money and asks If he shall send Ray to her, but nho says no. Aunt Abby's husband dies. Chip asks Martin to find Cy who is seeking the country over for her. He had been a youthful lover of Aunt Abby. and was supposed to have been lost at sea. Ray wants to go to Chip, but Martin advises him not to. Chip receives a letter from Ray, asking forgiveness for seeming slight and neg­lect. Ray and Levi return to the wilder­ness camp and find Cy. They tell him of his brother and the Ending of Chip. Chip spends Christmas at Greenvale. Old scenes bring back her love for Ray. Chip again at Christmas Cove with Aunt Abby is visited by Ray, and all the differences of the past are forgotten in the bliss of love.

CHAPTER XXXV.—(Continued). Old Cy evidently felt it a subject to

avoid, and not until the next day did he even ask how Aunt Abby looked or what had been her life experiences. A little of this reticence wore away in due time, however, and then Aunt Mandy once more referred to her sis­ter.

"I kinder feel you blame Abby some­how, Cyrus, the way you act," she said, "and yet thar ain't no cause for it. She'd waited 'most seven years. We'd all given you up for dead. And life in Christmas Cove wa'n't promisin' much for Abby."

"I don't blame her a mite,'* Old Cy answered quickly, "an' no need o' yer thinkin' so. I don't blame no woman fer makin' the best shift they kin. They've got to hev a home 'n' per-tecter, bless 'em, or be nobody in this world. Comin' here and findin' how things are, sorter makes me realize how much I've missed in life, though, an' how much sorrer I've had to out­grow. I don't lay up nothin* "gainst Abby, not fer a minit.

"But you're fcoin' to see her. ain't ye, Cyrus?" Aunt Mandy asked anx­iously. "Ye won't shame her by nor goin', will ye?"

"Wal, mebbe." he answered slowly. and after a long pause. "1 wouldn't want to hurt her knowln'ly. I callate I've done more grievln'n she has. though, ten times over, an' seeln* her

I would now if she hadn't lamed it, from Chip."

He.relented a little from iaits straoget and. almost cruel whim a week later* and after visiting the Rlggsvllle store and obtaining what really amounted to a disguise in new garments, he an­nounced his plans.

"I've got to see Chip," he said, "an' see how she 'n' Ray's gittln' on. I've got to see Abby, I s'pose. I want to, an* I don't want to, both In one. Then ag'in, these two young folks—Chip 'a' the boy—hev sorter got tangled up in my feeiin's, 'n' 1 can't rest content till I've seen 'em settled in life. I'm goin' to Christmas Cove fer a day. Then back here till they hitch up, 'n' then— wal, then mebbe r'd better go to the woods ag'iii. T ain't fitted by natur l'er dreBsed-up folks."

No opposition to this uuseemly out­come was made by Uncle Jud or Auut Maudy. They knew, or hoped, the leaven of bygone memories and asso­ciation would change the hermit-like impulse of Old Cy, and all in good time a better eud^ug of his life would seeru possible to him. To argue it now was apparently useless. A man so set in his ideas as to remain a homeless wanderer for almost a lifetime, was not to be changed iu a month, or per­haps in a year.

Neither did Old Cy seem in a hurry to visit Christmas Cove.

"I don't look nat'ral or feel nat'ral in them new clothes," he said to Aunt Mandy one day, "an' while I want to see Abby, I've lived in the woods so long I'm sorter 'shamed to go 'mongst respectable people. Then I look like one o' them wooden men dressed up in a store winder with that new rig on, an' jest know folks'll all be laughin' at me. I've got to go, I callate, but I'd like to make the trip in a cage. I'm sartin sure Abby l laugh at me arter-

wards." From which it may be seen how hard it was for Old Cy to fit him­self into civilized life once more.

He nerved himself for the trip to Christmas Cove in a few days, how­ever, and how he met and renewed ac­quaintance with his old-time sweet­heart shall be told in his own words.

"Abby hain't changed near so much as I callated," he said on his return; "a leetle fuller in figger. but jest the same easy-spoken, sweet sorter wom­an I always knew she'd be. She was 'lone when I called, an' fer a minit arter we shook hands neither on us could speak ag'in. Then she kinder bit her lip 'n' swallered her feeiin's, keepin' her face turned away, an* then we sot down 'n' begun talkln". It was techin", too, the way she acted, fer she kept tryin* to smile, 'n' all the while the tears kept startin'. It was like one o* them summer days when the rain patters while the sun is shining'. I don't think she noticed my clothes much, either, an' we sot up till 'most midnight talkin' over old times. It all turned out 'bout the way I 'sperted—a sorter funeral o' old hop«s with us two fer mourners. She's powerful consid­erate, too, Abby is, for the timp we was talkin' she never once spoke o' Cap'n Bemis, 'n' I didn't. It was jest ez if we started in whar we left orf, 'n' skippin' the gap between. She lowed she hoped she'd see me soon a^'in. that she felt like a mother to Chip; an' whon I bid her good-by. she kinder clinked once more. j

Love in youth is a sweet sons; of ioy and hope and promise. But love that spans a lifetime, that reaches and

CHAPTER XXXVI. With September came a supreme

event' in* the lives of Chip and Ray, when Mr. and Mrs. Friable, Aunt Com­fort, Miss Phinney and Hannah, Uncle Jud and Aunt Mandy, and Old Cy.'all gathered in Aunt Abby's quaint par­lor to see her aged pastor join their hands and lives. Then came the kisses, the congratulations, the rice, and old-shoe throwing, and then solitude and tears for Aunt Abby. All the wedding guests except Old Cy hied themselves away with the now pair, and he left for Jiayport.

And thus closes the history of Chip McGuire, waif of the wilderness and slave of Tim's Place.

Bless her! Twu days later Old Cy returned. No one was iu the house when he

knocked at Aunt Abby's door, and then, led perhaps by the invisible chord that spanned 40 years, he slowly-strolled up the path beside the old-mill pond, which he and she had often followed in the old, old days.

His heart had led him aright, for there, at the foot of the ancient oak that had once been their trysting-place, she sat.

"I thought I'd come over 'n' bid ye good-by, Abby," he said gently, as she arose to meet him. "I've been doin' a good deal o' biddin' good-b^ to-day. I bid good-by to the old graveyard whar my folks is; it's all growed up to weeds n' bushes, I'm sorry to say. But that

can't be helped. It's the way o' na­tur. I've been down to the p'lnt whar you 'n' I used to go, an' I bid that good-by," he added, seating himself near her. "Ye 'member it, don't ye, Abby, n' them days when we went thar to watch the waves?'

"I do, Cyrus," she answered., her voice trembling. "I remember all the old days only too well ."

"They all come back to me, too," he continued in a lower tone, "an' I wish I could skip back to 'em, but I can't. I'm an old man now, an' no use to no­body, n' not much to myself. I've been a wanderer many years—y£ know why, Abby. I've had a short spell o' joy, kinder helpin' this boy n' ^al into sunshine 'n' a home. They've gone their way now 'n' sure to forgit me an' you. It's nat'ral they'should, n' all that's left me is to go back to the woods 'n' stay."

He paused a moment, glancing up the narrow pond to where it ended In shadow, and then continued: "It's curis, Abby, how life begins with how-de-do's 'n' smflin* friends n' cheer-in' prospects, n' then ends with good-bys n' bein' forgot. It's what we must callate on, though, an' a good deal like a graveyard is left to weeds 'n' bushes." ,

Once more he paused, closed his eyes, and remained silent for a time.

"Wal, I might as well be goin." he said* finally, rising and extending his hand, "so good-by. Abby. I wish ye well in life."

"But is there any need of it?" she answered, turning her face to hide the tears as his hand clasped hers.

"Why, no, only to fergit my sorrer," he answered; "I can't do it here."

"But who will care for you there—at last—and—must you go?" Then she turned to him again.

And then he saw, not the gentle, saddened face upraised to his, but. the tender face of sweet Abby Grey of the long, long ago.

"Must you leave us—me?" she whis­pered once again.

"Wal, mebbe not," he answered. THE END.

Writing t r o » BfeaUtbon, Saskatche­wan, Canada, W. H. Ellwanger, who was formerly a resident of Green Mountain, Iowa, says: "The climate in summer la idea] for. growing giwin. Long, clearways, of e u n a h ^ ^ p p , bad storms. We aejrer. ne^ed t p , guard against cyclones; I never saw a better climate Tff my vlrfe*.'

It is as follows:-

Paynton, Sask., Canada, Dec. 10th, 1907.

To Whom This May Concern: I moved to this address February 3,

1907, from. Montgomery, Iowa, and took a homestead 35 miles north of Paynton. It was cold when I moved here but It did not stay cold long; it broke up the 8th of February, and was not so cold after that but the spring was late on account of the heavy snow fall, but in spite of the late spring I saw better grain than I ever saw in the states, raised this year. I helped u man finish sowing oats the 4th of July and they made fair oats. In a good year oats will go 100 bushels to the acre and wheat 25 to 50; all root crops do well here. I saw turnips weigh 7 and 8 pounds. I raised potatoes this year that measured 11½ inches one way and 18½ the other in cir­cumference. This is a fine stock coun­try; hay in abundance, good water, plenty of fuel, free and plenty of building material—the government gives ~us timber to saw into lumber and we can get it sawed for about $6.00 per thousand. All small fruit grows wild here, then there are ducks, geese, grouse, pheasants, deer, moose, elk and fish in abundance. I was over to Turtle Lake yesterday where there i s i o t s of fishing being done this win­ter. I saw about a carload of white fish in one pile. I gave 25 cents for S6 pounds of fish; What do you think of that, Brother Yankee? I think this is a fine place both to make money and to live. There was an old man up here visiting bis brother-in-law. Now this man owns land close to Des Moines, Iowa, and is in good circum­stances, but he took a homestead and says he will be contented if he can only put in trie rest of his days in Canada. He would get up In the morn-and look out of the door and say: "Well, who wouldn't live in Canada?" Now I have been in 13 different states in the United States, and I never saw the chance that there is here for a man that has a little muscle and a little brains. Three cheers for Cana­da! (Signed.)

The yoiinic bucks will run miles across the country with the evpwt. Just like lit­tle terriers. With this healthy life the.v xrnw too hijr for hunting rats In barn . or other buildings, but they can settle any rat in a wheat stack If put in l>cfore the rat has made a labyrinth inside the stack.

SUPttEME COURT OCClOEtJ IN FAVOR OF NOV&MBKR

ELECTION.

SIX OPINIONS WRITTEN

«o the New Constitution M«y Be Weil Considered Before the Voters Decide On Acceptance or Rejection.

The auprenie court has decided that the new constitution must be voted on at the Xovember electlou according to the contention of the constitutional convention. The court was very much divided on . the question, five of the judges holding for submission in No­vember and thr«e standing opposed. Six opinions were written.

Justice Carpenter, in an opinion, eaya that while he agrees that the convention had no authority to ttx the date for the submission of the con­stitution and that the duty belongs to the legislature, yet he believes that the constitution itself axes the date by implication in November, when all the electors of the state are most likely to go to the polls. It Is pointed out that, as the constitution stood prior, to 187l>, a revision must be t>ul>-mitted to a vote of the electors at a biennial November election, and that this language can mean nothing else than the next biennial November elec­tion. It la held that in extending the former constitutional provision giving the legislature authority to propose amendments, the people did not grant the legislature any new authority re­specting the submission of a new con­stitution.

Six opinions were filed by the court. Judges Carpenter, Moore, Grant, Blair and Ostrander holding that the consti­tution must be submitted in Novem­ber, while Judges Hooker, Montgom­ery and McAlvay concluded that the legislature's power to fix a date for submission is ample.

In a separate opinion of the court it is held that no election need be held In Detroit April G for the submission of the proposed amendment to tho present constitution.

Try to Break Will. Notwithstanding the fact that John

Moylan bequeathed all his property to his wife, Johanna Moylan, a peti­tion to break the will has been filed in the circuit court in Port Huron by a sister, M ^ , Ntary Kelley, and..her daughters. One of tae daughters, Mrs. J. L. Board, Was said at one time to be Uw* jOT£*Ufel$&t ^ a m a n in Port Huron. ' '•*'

It Is charged that the will was writ­ten in ixrtn, ' >eh arid - peocfl" and seemed to have a different signature than th* other handwriting. After the death of her .hvaband* Mrs. Moylan went to €&oad% to reside, b u t before leaving fo^nd in the cellap Of her home $ 1 0 , * ^ in a thi bok. The money, was**i>a;dfry damaged and'would have io be redeemed before bejpgj of any use.

The question now confronting the court is where the remainder ofKthe estate, which was supposed to ' be worth between $25,000 and $50,000, is located,

Another P. M. Wreck. One man killed nnd another per-

naps fatally injured, besides a num­ber more or less badly hurt, is the toll of a wreck on the Pere Marguette near Wyoming yards shortly before midnight Monday. Passenger train No. 8 leaving Grand napids for Chi­cago at 11:30, hit an .extra freight which had backed on the main line. Fireman John Chattock, of No. 8, was killed and Engineer Clarence Jones; of the freight, was so badly bruised and injured internally, that he may die. Jones's home is in Grand Rapids. Chattock was 28 years old and lived in Lansing. Lee Hall, of Hastings, is suffering from a severe scalp wound, his left arm is broken and he is suffering from severe injuries about the hips. The cause was a confusion of orders,

Ames Claims Self.Defense. ' * • Fred Ames, who shot and killed his

brother-in-law on the farm near War­ren, pleads self-defense. He charges that McClelland started toward him with a pitchfork. Mrs. McClelland, who was the only witness, says that Ames chased her husband out of the barn with a revolver and then shot him three times. Ames says he had been threatened a number of times by McClelland and therefore carried a revolver. The men had many dis­putes about trivial family affairs. Liquor also played a part In their troubles. Mrs. McClelland had recent­ly notified saloonkeepers not to sell her husband liquor but he managed to get it anyway.

If, however, it Is not genuine White Lead, or jf it con­tains the slightest t race of adultera­tion, the change will not take place. Therefore the "blow-pipe" test is an absolute and final one.

The National Lead Company are urging everyone Interested in painting to make this test of puint before using" it, and they guarantee that the pure White Lead sold under their "Dutch Boy Painter" trade-mark will always prove absolutely pure under the '"blow, pipe" or any other test. To make it easy for you to perform the experi­ment they will send you free upon re­quest a blow-pipe and everything nec­essary for you to make the test, to­gether with a valuable booklet on paint.

Good Eye, Cuchulllin! Who can set bounds to the soaring,

imagination of the Celt? An enthusi­astic New Yorker recently watching a game of hurling—which resembles la­crosse—between stalwart teams, was moved to ask President Conway of tho Irish Athletic association how far a good man could drive the ball.

"Well, I'll tell you." responded Mr. Conway, with a twinkle in his eye that contradicted his serious speech. "In the good old days when Cuchulllin was champion of Ireland, the king and all the nobility were assembled at the great games of Tailtin. CuchuiHin struck up a hurley ball into the sky, and then walked off to his pavilion and took a drink of potheen, and strolled back to the spot in good time to catch the ball on his hurley."—Harper's Weekly.

Leiaure to Burn. "My dear," asked the overworked

business manager of his wife, as he tried to write a check for her, answer the telephone, receipt the expressman, and give instructions to a floor-walker, at one and the same t ime: "My dear, in that 'Great Beyond,' do you sup­pose any of the elegant leisure, of which the preacher tells us, will fall to my lot?"

"Sure, John," answered his wife, sweetly, "you will doubtless have leisure to burn." Illustrated Sun­day Magazine.

Out to Be Some Special Place. On the way across the Styx a dis­

pute as to precedence arose. "I used to put pig iron into life

preservers," declared one shade. "I made rotten fire hose," said the

other. "Dump 'em both overboard, Charon,"

yelled Satan. "I don't want 'era."— Louisville Courier-Journal.

The nervous system of the musician Is often very sensitive and any habit like coffee drinking may so upset the nerves as to make regular and neces­sary daily practise next to impossible.

"I practise from seven to eight hours a day and study Harmony two hours," writes a Mich, music student. "Last September I was so nervous I could only practise a few minutes at a time, and mother said I would have to drop my music for a year.

"This was terribly discouraging a3 I couldn't bear the thought of losing a whole year of study. Becoming con­vinced that my nervousness was caused largely by coffee, and seeing PoBtum so highly spoken of, I de­cided I would test it for a while.

"Mother followed the directions carefully and I thought I had never tasted such a delicious drink. We drank Postum every morning instead of coffee, and by November I felt mere like myself than for years, and was ready to resume my music.

"I now practise as usual, do my studying and when my day's work I s finished I am not any more nervous than when I began.

"I cannot too highly recommend Postum to musicians who practise half a day. My father is a physician and recommends Postum to his patients. Words cannot, express my appreciation for this most valuable health bever­age, and experience has proven its superiority over all others." "There's a Reason."

Stow, the famous autiquarian, au< thor of the "Survey of London," be­came ia his old age a licensed beggar,, asking alms from door to door "through 36 • counties." Wycherley, from being the spoiled idol of society, fell to the lowest depths of destitution, and was eventually consigned to the Fleet prison for debt, where he re­mained seven years. Cotton also spent many years in a debtor's prison, and eventually died there by his own hand.

Llorente, the learned and talented historiographer ot the inquisition, was glad during the close of his bril­liant but unfortunate career to hire himself out for a few sous a night to keep watch over the dead bodies at the Paris morgue, and died eventually of starvation. Camoens begged his bread from door to door until com­pelled to take refuge iu an almshouse, where he died.

l l is told of Hen Jonson that when in his last illness King Charles sent him a small sum ot money IIK returned it. "He sends me so miserable a dona­tion," cried the dying poet, "because 1 am poor and live in an alley. Go jind tell him bin soul lives in an alley."

Very sad was the late of Vlrich von' Hutteu, one of the greatest writers Germany has ever produced.

"MuBt I tell all my business?" Insisted the witness agaiu. "Answer the question," interposed the judge severely.

"Our little girl was two months old when she got a rash on her face and within five days her face and head were all one sore. We used different remedies but it got worse instead of better and we thought she would turn blind and that her ears would fall off. She suffered terribly, and would scratch until the blood came. This went on until she was Ave months old, then I had her under our family doc­tor's r*are, but she continued to grow worse. He said1 it *was «caama. When she was s w e n months old I started to use the Cuticura Remedies and in two months our baby was a different girl. You could not see a sign of a sore and she was as fair as a new­born baby.
