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.

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

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

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

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.' Chuck's eyes fol-
lowed the column of leather until at

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. It then
eases itself into the clear sparkling
waters of Great Slave lake,

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:

Morning—Bermuda.
At dawn on the hill overlooking the
Great Sound the purple mists hung.
like gossamer over the land and seas
and the quietuses seemed to wrap it
self around in feeds. From beyond .Ile
horizon came one ray at light, and
then a rosy glow speed over the sky,
with splendor. Steadily rising, the
sun pushed aside the haze and smiled,
until the grass, heavily. laden with
dew, glistened like a bed of jewels.
Nothing moved until a gayly-otad
eardinel winged his way to a shallow
rook cistern and took his bath. Ho
was joined by others of the feathered
family—blue, birds, cat birds : and
Vireos. The: cardinal topped the -tails
est cedar and quickly whistled hie
best advice, "Dca't worry, don't worry,
don't worry'! Froze a neighboring
tree came the answer, "Not a bit, not

the stillness with the Bong of a bird
and stirred up tate joy of living. -.
Looking out on ply's Harbor there

color. On the farthei• shore a deep
red oleander was mirrored in all its
rich coloring. It lent btd1liancy to the
somber green of the cedars. Gradual-
