The two little girls crept closer to their big cousin, each casting anxious 'glances beyond the fire light. 'Oh, you're all rlgbt, little gals,' 'staid Kirkby reassuringly, "they 'wouldn't come nigh us while this fire I11t burnln' an'- they 've been pretty well hunted out 1 guess; 'sides there's m U yore who'd like nothln' better'n ldrawtn' a bead on a big b'ar." "And so,' continued Maitland, "when bagged him to shoot her, to put out of her misery, he did so and then he started back to the settlement 'to tell his story and stumbled on us 'looking atter him." "What happened then!" "I went back to the camp," said lMaltland We loaded Newbold on a Iambi aad took him with us; he waa 111so crazy he didn't know what was ppening; he went over the shooting ,again and again in his delirium. It ;was awful." I "Did he die'" al don't think so," was the answer. t really I know nothing further about him.

"But the wolves!" queried the girl. "He'd drug her into a kind ' of a holler and plied rocks over her.

The noise' that it made drowned the low tones of their voices and kept the others, busy preparing to retire, from hearing what they said. 'That ain't quite all the story, Miss Enid," said the old trapper meaningly. "There was another man." "What!" exclaimed the girl. "Oh, there wasn't nothla' wrong with Louise Rower, w'Ich she was Louise Newbold- but there was an- etaer man; I suspected it afore, that's Why she was sad. W ea we found her body i knowed it."

Both declare that 1t is Impossible to recede from their posItlon.a Nevertheless, those .who Ihink they know what is going on ballad the scenes still believe that the probabilities of the conclusion of Mce are greater than of the resump- tion of the conflict. Conditions imposed by the allies at one of last week's sessions were:— First—The cession by Turkey of all the territory west of a line starting tlom a point east of Rodoato, on the Sea of Marmora, to a point In the Hay of Malatra, on the Black Sea, and ea - eluding the peninsula of Gallipoli. Albaah's status to be decided by the powers. Second—The cession of the Aegean islands. occupied by the Greek forces in the present war and by the Italians in the recent war. Third --The cession to Greece of all Turkish rights in the Island of Crete.,! The allies did not reveal the finan- cial proposals w titch they will make to Turkey. 1 eserving them for a future meeting. The Turkish delegates to the peace conference on Saturday submitted counter -proposals which did not take into consideration the territorial claims of the allies. Moreover a semtomcial note was lashed at the conclusion of a Ministerial Oousetl al Constantinople, announcing that freak instructions had been sent to LOWY* to the effect that "while the Poste 1s animated by a conciliatory tphyt and is desirous of a successful oos- cluslon of the negotiations, It can under no circumstances consent to the , cession of Adrianople." it is stated on good authority, how- ever, that the Turkish delegates will present modified terms haMK Mllllll, Wad to aff9rd a being *se 11 W 4t;T E AS E TI,`G T1CI(Ul16 III THE THROAT waich keeps you roughing away. tight end day, will ga's'h disappear if you 'ake Na-Dru-(o S rite of Linseed, Licorice and Chloral ane.
