One winter a good n►any year al,Np.
when Graudi other Fossett w•us a small

Ihul some fierce wild animal was prowl -
inti about.
No one had seen it, and no one knew
teat it was. The first news carne from
Pavel Rollins, who had been ro►ued from

among the pigs, ile slipped into his
clothes as soon os he could, and hurried
GUI. Ho found all the animals very much
e•eited and frightened, and one pig. in
the pen under the barn, was badly cut or
ecralchetl ulxtut the head. 't'her'e was
nothing else to ho seen, and as the
ground was bare and frozen hard, no
tracks could bo found.

lowing him. Ile did not duce run, but
walked as fast as he could; and whatever
it was !hut was following (lint kept up
the chase until he came out into the
open orchard jtast back of the house.
Ily this time the little settlement began
to be touch disturbed, and everybody
talked of the strange animal. Sonic
thought it was a wolf; others said it was
probably a bear; stilt -others believed it
was only a big wildcat or lynx. But
there were some who felt sure it was a
panther.
Then came the first big now, which
settled down to pod sleighing. The
vends were rough and poor, and every
winter, as soon as it got cold enough to
make good thick ice, the people began
b: use the Kennebec River to travel on,
yir:ause a sleigh would run mtech more
easily on the smooth, level ice than on
the "bumpily" roads.
Ono evening, a few days after the big
:;rent•, the whole village tt•aes stirred by

just in limo to see a big, shadowy thing
leap over the bars at one jump and dis-
appear in the. darkness. They got Ion -
terns and returned, and soon found the
tracks in the tsnow--great tracks twelve
or fifteen fort apart. There was no
tenger any doubt that the beast was a
panther, and a big one, tot.
The next clay it was decided to have a
grand hunt. All the men in the settle-

should be caught. 'There was great ex -

st\tE PIG WENT ON AHEAD.
Pathetic and Humorous Story of Some
of Alberta'a hest Settlers.
As if in prof cf the wisdom of Cy
\Varulun's advice to the Winnipeg Cana-
dian Club, "to be kind to the forcigi,
settler, kr his children will be go ed
Canadians," Rev. Clement 1loyer, of the
Alberta Moravian mission. gave a short
address to the workers of All People's
Mission the sante evening, in which he
described the progress of the Moraviats
during the last ewelve years, buys the
Winnie eg Free Press.
Ile said that it is only fourteen year,
since the first Moravian settlers went
1•p Northern Alberta. Many were in
such poor e-ircumstance•s that they bed
to spend everything they could gel to-
gether for their tickets. and consequent-
ly often went hungry on the way to
their new homes. Arrived there, they
had neither provisions,tools,rroney, nor
any place of shelter. They quickly con-
structed huts shade of twigs, covered
with hay end grass, pulled by the wo-
men, but these poor shelters were no
proof against either rain or snow. Work
was hard to get, and those first set-
tlers can tell inany pathetic stories of
sickness and death. Rabbits were the
salvation of the people. They had no
money to buy ammunition, so they
caught Llw rabbits in holes, covered
lightly with Meigs and grass. In those
days u h ion's last thought before going
le sleep wa.s not the price of hay and
cattle, but how many rabbits would
there to in the hole in the morning.
Two years later. when the people were
ill somewhat better circumstances, but
were still unable to afford pork, except
on rare occasions, they were Visited by
a representative from the Moravians in
Pennsylvania. who wished to ascertain
their exact condition, and to -help them,
if nee- be. Wishing to do horse: to
such a greet roan, the settlers clubbed
together and killed a pig. Then wher-
ever the distinguished visitor went, a
f.icce of the pork was sent ahead. The
result was that he returned home, and
reported that the Moravians in Alberta
lived high, and were great pork eaters,
,hale unconscious that the same little
pig had been travelling ahead of him
all the time.
Times have now changed. Many of
the Moravians in Northern Alberta have
beautiful homes, musical instruments,
carriages. machinery and good horses.
They dices well, and enjoy many of
the comforts of lite. Owing to the ef-
forts of the Moravian Church in the
United Slates, they have note seven con-
gregat!ons, five preachers and a rnern-
L•ership of 1,000. Five young men and
two young women from their settle-
ment are now in training colleges, pre-
paring for the foreign emission field, so
that their influence will reach across
the globe.

The Story of the Good Work she Did

but a day or two later the six hundred
sufferers from Inkernian began to be

The hospitals at Scutari are describ-
ed in one of I,ord l'almerston's own
letters as a hotbed of pestilence. Never

The death -rale rose to as high as
Ort per cent. in the early weeks ef her
w'erk; when her measures had been in
full effect for a sew months that ter-
rible figure of mortality had fallen as
low as 2 per cent.

wonderful tale.

The cid butteehip Cokss(,s has been
c!e coned to the fate of the Hero in a
stein; cf tests of magazine conditions in
modern warships.
This is a result of the terrible accident
in the French battleship Jena, at Toulon,
early last year, caused by the explosion
of powder in the magazines. A commit-
tee was appointed by the Admiralty after
t'1+j disaster to examine the system of
storing explosives in British warships.
Ono outcome of this committee's work
has been rho fitting of a cooling appara-
tus in the „hip's magazines, but the com-
mittee is not yet satisfied that absolute
safety has leen insured.
In order to assist it in its researches.
tee Admiralty has placed the Colossus at
its disposal. The colossus is to be fitted
v.ilh mngozines sintilnr to those in mo-
dern battleships, and these aro to be
stored with cordite, lyddito and other ex-
plosives used in the navy.
A series of temperature tests will then
be made, and after as much information
as pos.siblo has been gained on this head
the charges will be exploded to find out
what would be the effect of an accident
on a British battleship similar to that
which overlook the Jena.
'rho Colossus was built at Portsmouth
in lt?ss, at a Dost of $3,233,930. Site is
