Wouldn't it be better to prepare her ter them as she goes along, than to , noddle her through infancy and young girlhood and then thrust her entirely unprepared, into a world full of'hard bumps and bruises?

Even a dog can see that." He was silent for a moment, and then he said, "Come, Jacques. You will keep secret what I show you." He went to a large box in the corner, unlocked it, and took out a model made of brass and copper' and smooth but unpolished wood. "After ten years of banishment, Jacques, he has worked out another idea, you see• It should be worth ten times the other, and the world called the other the work of a genius, dog." Then he became silent, the animal 'watching him the while. It had seen him working at this model for many a day, but had never heard him talk so much at a time as he had done this last ten minutes. Jasper Hume was generally a silent man; decisive even to severity, careless carriers and shirkingunder-officersthought. Yet none culd complain hat hwas un- just. He was simply 'straightforward, and he had no sympathy with those who were not the same. He had car- ried a drunken Indian on his back for miles, and from a certain death by frost. He had, for want of a more convenient punishment, promptly knocked down Jeff Hyde, the some- time bully of the Fort, for appropriat- hug a bundle of furs belonging to a French half-breed, Gaspe Toujours. But he nursed Jeff Hyde through an attack of pneumonia, insisting at the same time that Gaspe Toujours should help him, The result of it all was that Jeff Hyde and Gaspe Toujours became ecnstant allies. They both formulated them, oaths byJasper er Hume. The In- dian, P i d an, Cloud -in -the -Slay, though by word never thanking his rescuer, could not be induced to leave the Fort, except on some mission with which Jasper Hume was connected.
