To him, music stands above ali,aa.+ts; for it directly ex- presses the will itself, including net only conscious desire, but also in- stinct. It Is: altogether independent of the world of concrete things, and is tho expression of the inner nature. It does not express particular 'emo- tions, but lathe:• reproduces the essen- tial characteristics of emotion. In such work as Beethoven's Symphonies "all human passion and emotions find utterance—joy, sorrow, love, hatred, terror, hope, etc—in innumerable de- gree% yet all, as It were only in ab- stract and without particularization; it is their mere form without the sub- etance, like a spirit world without mat- ter." Whereas -Kant ignored the rhythmic element in music, Schopen- hatter considered it in `sal of its as- pects. Richard Wagner's devotion to Soltopenhauer is well known, and his essay on Beethoven ie founded upon the Sohopenheuerian hypotheses. Hegel considered that music stood halfway between the extended sen- suousness of painting and the higher spirituality of • poetry, but he did not work out tiny theory to explain in sat adequate manner the effect which music praducea on the emotions. To Herbert Semmes, music was the lang- uage of the emotions; 'and he placed it high up in the educational scheme. "If intellectual Ianguage is a growth, so also without doubt is emotional . language a growth, In its bearings upon human happin'ese the emotional Language which 'musical culture de- velops and reflnea is second in import- ance only to the language of the Intel- lect; perhaps not: even second to it.

' 5 FAMPLDE RAYMOND L. SCHROCK and PAUL GULICK: •0 ee By CHAPTER IV,-'(Cont'd.)' Together they dashed down the val- ey. Neither,however, reckoned with the size and terror of the largest herd of•buffalo in the world,; As they swung around thenext bend in thevalley, they saw, to their ceneternation, that their escape, was, cut off.' Another part of th'e herd was charging madly acres their only lino of retreat. The only possible salvation was' to bent this en- circling charge to a narrow neck of land rising "above the bend in the river, two hundred yards away. To Mailoy'e Palamino this was not impossible. Harkness' horse, even in his terror, was not so speedy. Realiz- ing this and anxious togive the offi- cer a better chance at their onlyline of retreat, Dan waved his left arm toward the river bank and then whirl- ed his pony directly at the head of the column of charging buffalo. With eat- tle it would have been possible to turn the column, and if he hadbad his gun he might still have been able torun thehead buffaloes of the column out of their course, butin spite of their utmost elforts,they made little head- wayand only'endangexed themselves: Hoping he had given Barlrness, time to make the opening, Dan gave up his forlorn hope, ,and; made a desle'for it himself, But Harkness had not quite made it -before the first of .the buffalo reached the narrow opening scarcely twenty feet across. And even as- Malloy looked, the trooper's horse wont down in it tangle of hoofs on top of his rider. Without a thought of his own safe- ty, Malloy, dodging' in and out of the front ranks of the charging buffaloes, reached the trooper's side. "Reach up your hand, Harkness, as 1' go by," he shouted at the top of his voice. The disc of thundering hoofa flung the shout back into his teeth. There was no answer from Harkness. Push- ing, plunging, rearing, kicking and biting, the Palamino fought the on- rushing buffalo, as only a well-trained' cow pony can fight. When Malloy leapt from his backto aid the stricken Harkness, the Palamino covered as best he could the two figures on the ground, his rider.,pnd the senseless trooper. Watching carefully for the first break in the line, Malloy half dragged, half carried Harkness the few feet to the river bank and plunged over into, the water, the pony following suit. The water was not deep and on the other side they were safe from file Charge. Placing the still unconscious Harkness across his saddle bow, Melloy brought the wounded officer back to the La Fargo ranch house. Dragging him up the porch and in the door, he placed hint carefully on the couch. Neenah looked at him fascinated. Marie, unable to speak through • her sobs, knelt beside her father's head, eyes wide with grief and accusation. Dan came toward her with out- stretched hands: To his amazement she shrank from him. Bursting into tears she threw herself upon her fa- ther's body as though to protect him. Dan tried to lift the sobbing form. When she finally did raise her face, horror and detestation were indelibly written, upon it. tones, "you ain't bo evin' it wasart in me?" he asked. "Win I'd let him tzar me to pieces and never lift u finger just because he was—your Dad." But the circumstantial evidence was too strong against him. Marie looked at Neenah. So did Dan. The Indian maiden was nervously puckering. up her apron, but her eyes looked eccus- ingly at Malloy. Taking courage• front her maid,. Marie straigLtened to her full height and pointed to ,the •daor. "Go, go," the said unsteadily, "be- fore the officers come. I never want to see you again." 'Unbelieving, shaken to his very soul, Dan backed toward the door. One last look he gave, but Marie did not weaken. Then he turned swiftly and went out: CHAPTER V. THE 8008. The Bar 0 ranch was making its final preparations for the Calgary Stampede. Its owner, Andrew Regan, was particularly anxious for his cow- boye to make a showing this year. At the last stampede he had lost the ne t- ority of contests to hie greatest rival', in breeding stock, racing horses, and training riders—Al Morton. This' year he would' get square with him, li and then too, he was particularly enx- thus on account of the honor that would come to the Bar 0 in the great. est stampede that was ever held: Por, this year marked the fiftieth anniversary of thefounding of Fort Calgary and the coming of the North- west Mounted Police to Alberta. Seventy-five thousand people were ex- pected be be in attendance, the great- est, Crowd everassembled in the North- west. Earl Haig, too. had 'peomised tomake an official visit with his lady to the tSanipede.. There would be a deub.e honor in receiving the prizes from his hand. Twenty of Regan's amen had entered in 'various events. Broneho busting, bareback riding, Roman riding, and races of all kinds. The best .of ,his stock had been in training for weeks under the watchful eyes of Regan and his •foreman, Blackie Smith. • The• ` event, however, in which Re- gan, was most interested, was the Roman race, and -he was most inter- ested in nterestedin this because Morton hod won it from him last yeas. But Regan' had sprung a surprise this year by import thee team from the . South whose speed gave him every reason to be- lieve that he would win it this yeas... Ed. Corbett, the star rider of the, Bar 0, had never; seen such speed in Melee had already bet every :cent of hiiS,syalary: for $he coming year on the p thomsitqethis terse rem of et, a o m e c l} Personnel , tie tw thoteese d twee ranch had wagered do Andrew ILegan's pair of Palominos, and these same plgy-bailk speed de- mons were expected to ellen out the pockets of Morton's sportive' We - punchers. For most of the Bar 0 wagers had been made with them. Just now Regan and his daughter Alberta were watching the men tak- ing "turns in riding an out a v. Four of the men had been ignominiously, pitched off hie back.: Ragan Was get - tins' impatient. "rant POMO of roll fellows ride the devil? Paw shorn: yoe, Carbon?" Thcugh Corbett was the star rider .1 of the Bar 0, he did not seem to face. this particular outlaw with any relish 00 enjoyment. Still he could not afford to show the white feather: As he looked around,he caught the eye of the ranch's potato peeler, Chuck Jones. Chuck was apparently eminently. qualified for this arduous and endless task.It was said of him that he had been the champion potato peeler of an overseas outfit. His good natured and vacant -looking face, his bgohishll+ cut hair, and 'loose-jointed •lackadaistcel .manner, argued no higher ambition than potato -peeling. It • was agreed that Chuck and potato peeling were lnventedefor each other, Every man on the ranch had taken a kick at poor Chuck, but languid as his ordinary movements were, none of the kicks had" ever' landed. Chuck wain a few inches outside of every one. It was a perfectly safe venture to aim a kick at Chuck. Ile never kicked back. and he answered every kick with his inevitable smile and drawling, ."How come." So Chuck had been 'accepted. on his own, terms and: for a year now had peeled all the petateeta that: forty five tangy cowboys cou:d eat. Chunks one passion, when he could sneak time away from his potato peeling, was the training corral, but this passlon had 1» be exercised vyith infinite finesse and adroitness.•Re lov- ed to watch thehorses and the riders. Why shouldn't he? For Chuck Jones was none other than Dan Malloy, Champion Rodio Rider and Cow- puncher. Nevertheless he could not afford to let anyone know that he cared one potato peel about horses, for he was still a fugitive from justice, and justice was sure to look for him on a horseor around horses, Ban, or Chuck Jones, as we must call him now, had wandered three hundred miles from Wainwright Park, ever hoping that 'something would. turn up which would prove his inno- Cance, or prove some other guilty of the murder of Jean La Paige. The arm of the law was long, and Chuck had exhausted several disguises and innumerable' jobs because of the inquisitiveness of Bill Harkness. Now he was out of Harkness' territory, but nevertheless he relaxed not one jot or tittle from the eharaeterizetion of Cheek Jones. He had carefully culti- vated a blandness of expression and. a blankness of look which were helped out by the most boobish `clothes he could get and a hat which turned down diose about his face. As one of the hands said, Chuck looked Iike one of his own potatoes half covered by a peeling dish. . Every time, however, that Chuck passed 'the corral with his wheelbar- row of potatoes, he found it eoeven- lent to set it down and peek through the bars at the forbidden activity within. It was at one of :hese times that Corbett found his eyes resting upon the face of the ranch clown and pota- to peeler. He had looked, into this face many times before but he had never seen it like Chia: There was ex- preseion in it and the expression was a challenging one: Hurling caution to the winds, Con belt mounted the outlaw. But the men had no sooner let, go the blindfold than Corbett was sent skyrocketing over the brone%o's head and landed in a heap mostly en his right ear.and left ankle, amid the laughter of the entire company. Corbett tried to rise to his feet but sat down again anxi- ously rubbing.his left ankle. "Corbett ain't a rider," said a drawling voice, "he's a grated hog." Alberta Rogan looked to see whence the voice proceeded. She had seen the potato peeler often and laughed at him as other. had, but she never credit- ed him with a sense of humor. If she thought about him at all, she probably felt that a man who looked as funny as Chuck Jones.' did not need a sense of humor, but neither Alberta nor anyone else around Calgary had ever surprised any other look than one of. stupidity on Chuck's face. Alberta was amazed, . and still more astonish- ing to her, however was the rapidity and completeness with which the look of intelligent amusement evaporated from Chuck's face and left there its accustomed stolidity. Chuck's -momentary lapse from character thoroughly frightened him. "Father, did you hear that?" asked Alberta, pointing at Chuck. "Yes, I heard it, dear, bet of course Corbett ain't so much a broncho 'bus- ter as he is a Roman rider,. Run over and see if he's much hurt? "Blackie." Under cover of • this diversion, Chuck returned to his back door sta- tion whe'-ing his barrel of potatoes with the straggling, shuffling gait which he had effected for a year. "Gee, that was a narrow esoape," he said to himself. "Guess ••i'd better stick by the potato cart. As the peelings started to fall into the .'pail hetween hie legs, Chuck be- came .aware; of a.;gentle tapping .just behind him: ' ' "It might be that kid Alberta." But' no, Resounded .like a heavier foot than hers, and why •ehou.d she come bothering, around him 'anyway? Chuck vrent on peeling. The tapping continued. Then it grew closer. Fin- ally it was right beside Chuck's own foot. Ileglanced at it. It spoke vol- umes for Chuck's nerves that no start of surprise passed through his body. Chuck had nerves of steel. The boht looked .very military. It was fitted with a silver chain spur, and as Chuck glanced at it through' the corner of his eye, he noted a riding trop flicked regularly ,arid rhythmically against the polished leather.'

ISCO E DURING SURVEY IMPORTANT WORK OF TOPOGRAPFIICAL SURVEYORS. Traverse a Great Unknown Area Southwest of Great Slave Lake. During the past season in carry lag out work under the Topographical Sur- vey of the Departtnent of the Interior 1n the,•Northwest Territories a party in'oharge of `Mr; C, H. I3lancltet es- plored and eurveyed`'that great, almost unknown, district, 60,000 square miles in extent, lying between lake Atha- baska and Great Slave lake and east- ward., from Slave river to Dubawnt 'river. Over 600 miles, of • interior waters were travelled during the season's work, in the toxinse of which a Take one hundred sad fifty ranee long and several' miles wide was discovered: portions of alts headwaiters of three great rivets of the North, the mouton the Thelon, and the Snowdrift Were traversed by canoe, and much terri- tory lleretofore'untrodden by white mien was surveyed. Previous know- ledge 'of the'.eaea was:limited to that gained by Samuel Hearne during hie easterly journey aorose it in 1772; and the more recsnt.expptoratioas of Mr. J. W. Tyrrell, D.L.S., on the lower The- lon river, and Dr. Charles Camseli on the lower Tabtson river. Most of this year's work was original exploration. New Country Traversed: The party started out from Fitz- gerald on the Slave river on June 12. As the greater part of the country to be traversed was entirely new, efforts were made to engage Indians as guides but with little suooess, the Indians agreeing only to accompany the panty to a certain point beyond which they would not go. From FItzgerald the In- dian canoe and the 19 -foot freighter, containing the surveyors' equipment, followed a route well known to the In- dians between the Slave river and the Talston, arriving at the latter a chert distance below where the Tazln river joints it. Proceeding up the Talaton, the eurveyors entered country abso- lutely unknown and with supplies re- duced so that they had to depend Iargely on what fish and game they could secure, they pushed an tato the interior. Three days later the Indians turned back„ and the four white'men were thrown: on their own resources and with only meagre information gained from their late eompanions. Im- mediately after the departure of the Indians, the party reached a lake, which the Indians called "The Big Lake." It proved rattier more than two miles wide and separated only'by cascades at a few points' where rock ridges crossed the valley and which culminated in an oddly snapped lake, nearly 76 miles long with • a 60 -mile bay stretching away to the northeast. This is called "Nonaehoh" or Big Point lake by the Indrlane. Dlecovered.Portage Route. After four days searching the month of the Lipper Talston river wee dis- covered emptying into the lake. The upper river was followed to the limit of navigation but it was found teazles In country unfavorable for further tra- vel into the interior. A. return was made, to Nonachoh lake and a base was established} at its moat northeast- erly point. From . here two members of the party travelled overland carry - Ing a small collapsible cltnoe, and af- ter sotue searching discovered an an - dent Indian portage route marked by a few email cairns, which led by a number of lakes across the divide to waters' draining to Hudson bay. A moderately roiling plain waa reached across which stretched a big irregular lake full of large islands, On this plain the edge of the woods is marked by an occasional clump or fringe. In the lake the Thelon river apparently has Its main surce, probably the west- erly branch as annul by Mr, TyrrelI's exploration upstream to the forks In 1900. •'The courseandcharacter of the Thelon was determined and the party returned to the base. Asa trip down the Thelon, up Han- bury river, and thence by Ptarmigan and Artillery lakes to Great Slave lake would entail too much heavy por- taging for the big freighter and outfit, it was decided to seek a portage route from the Taltson to the Snowdrift river, and on to Great Slave bake. The Snowdrift bad been placed on the map by Hearne from Indian: report and its mouth at Great Slava lake had been located daring the survey of the lake in recent years, Following the earth - east hely of Nonaohoh lake the, portage t6 snowdrift river -was found through a shattered dariie between hills and occupied by a small lake. The trip down the Snowdrift showed" It to nue ander from side to side of its open, sandy valley until about 20 miles from lis mouth when, it enters the hills and makes a descent of about 600 feet in the next 15 miles, by means of a series of esscadete and falls, culminating in Glory fable, a drop of 60,feet.

Lying in Bed. • Some years ago Sir James 1t!. Bar rie--though he had not then been knighted --wrote a delightful essay ere titled A Holiday in Bed. In it he des- cribed the comfort and satisfaction to bo derived from taking a day off, ow- ing to some slight if not quite imag- inary ailment, and emending It quietly in bed. The essay is perhaps not one that would commend Itself to men of rigorous mind—believere in the virtue. of unflagging industry and tireless ac- tivity; it preaches a doctrine of Indol- ence that they might condemn as tm- moral: It Is not our purpose to condone the habit of indolence, yet .we week that everyone who la unable from time to timeto take a holiday inbed, ea Sir James Barrie recommends, might .ea order his life as to enjoy tor a little while daily the luxury of lying in lied, says a writer 4n Youth's; Companion.
