The Open River.

the Scotch' River was runnin• g lee-

Dan Murphy Wag. mightly pleased

world about him, for there lay his win-
ter's cut. of logs in the river below

by a boom acroas the mouth, just
where it flowed into the Nation. In
a few days he would have his crib

for the Ottawa MillS. He was sure
to be ahead of the big timber rafts
that took up so much space, and whose
crews with unbearable effrontery con-
sidered 'theniselves the Aristocrats 'a
the river.
Yes, it was a pleasant and satisfy-
ing sight some three solid miles of logs
boomed at the head of the big water.
Suddenly Murphy turned his face up
the river.
"What's that now, d'ye think, Le-
Nware?" he asked. •
LeNoir or "LeNware," as they
called it in that country, was Dan
Murphy's foreman, and as he himself
said "for haxe, for hit (eat), for

by Garr Louis LeNoir was a French-
Canadian, handsome, active, hardy and
powerfully built. He had come from
the New Brunswick woods sortie three
years ago and had wrought and fought
his way, as he thought, against, all
rivals to the proud position of ,"boss

small wonder that often the shanty -
men were wild and reckless. So that
many a poor fellow in a single wild
carouse in Quebec, or more frequently
in some river town, would fling into
a lumberman's ambition. It was seme-
thing to see LeNoir "run a log" across
river and back; that is, he would
balance himself upon a floating log
and by spinning it round would send
it Whither he would. At Murphy's the hands of •harlots and tavern -keep -

of this tale, for on one of his sum-

Alexander Murray," as he was wont
to say, "found him and he was a new
man.' He went into his new life with
the same whole-sotiled joyousness
as had marked the old, and he announ-
ced that with the shanty and the riv-
er he was "done for ever more." But
after the summer's work was done,and
the logging over, and when the snap. of
the first frost nipped the leaves from
the trees, Macdonald became restless.
He took down his broad -axe and spent
hours polahing it and bringing it to
an edge, then he put it in its wooden
sheath and laid it away. But the fever
was' upon him, 'ten thousand voices
from the forest were shouting for him

the old good humor in his face, took
down the broad -aye again, and re-

Swiftly. the pointer shot down the
current the swaying bOdies and swing-
ing oars in perfect rhyth-m with the
song that rose and fell -with inelan-
choly..but musical cadence. The men
on the high bank stood looking down
upon the approaching singers. "You

bah! No good!" LeNoirts contempt
fcr Macdonald was genuine and cOm-
plete. For two years he had tried to
meet the boss Macdonald, but his rival
had always avoided him.
Meantime the pointer came swing-
ing along. As it turned the point the
boy uttered an excliamtion—. "Look
there!" The song and the rowing
stopped abruptly; the big, dark man
stood up and gazed down the river,
packed from bank to bank with the
brown sawlogs;deep cranes broke from
him. Then he caught sight of the men
on the bank. A Word of command
and the pointer shot into the shore,
and the next Moment Macdonald Dubh
or Bieck Hugh, as he was sometimes
called, followed by his men, was climb-
ing up the steep bank.
"What the blank, blank, do these
logs mean, Murphy?" he demanded,
without pause for salutation.
"Tis a foine avert& Misther Mac-

Macdonald checked himself with an
effort and reluctantly shook hands
with Murphy and LeNoir, whom he
sllghtly knew. "It is a fery good

voice as be could command, "but I am

Glengarry men who handled only
square timber, 'despised the Murphy
gang .aa -saw-log men;"log-roller"
or mushrats" they called them, and
hated them as Irish "Papishes" and
French "Crapeaux," While between
Dan Murphy and Macdonald Dubh
there was an ancient personal grudge(
and to -day Murphy thought he had
found his time. There Were only six
of the enemy, he had ten times the
number with him, many of them eager
to pay off old scores; and besides
there was LOWS LeNoir as the "Doss
Bully" of the river. The Frenchman
was not only a powerful man, active
with bands and feet, but he was an a-
dept in all kinds ' of fighting tricks.
Since coming to the Ottawa he had
heard of the big Macdonald, and he
„sought to meet him. But Macdonald
avoided hint once and 'again till Le -
Noir, having never known any one
avoiding a fight for any reason other
than, fear, preclehried Macdonald a
coward and himself "de boss on de
reever." Now there was a chance of
meeting his rival and of forcing a
fight, for the Glengarry camp could
not be far away where the big Mac-
donald himself would be. So Dan
Murphy, backed up with numbers, and
the boss bully LeNoir determined
that for these Macdoriald men the day
of settlement had come. But they

turned and started for the boy . But
Yankee Jim got Ranaldeto the door

cried Yankee Jim, lambing him out of,

way and returned raging,

gang thought to intimidate those
grave Highlanders with noise, thett
were greatly mistaken, for they stood
quietly, waiting ,for their glasses to
be filled, alert, but with an air of
perfect indifference. Some eight or
the glasses were set down and filled,
when. IVInrphy, snatching a couple of

He was going back to the bush and
to the biggest fight of his life. No
wonder he was glad. Then his good lit-
tle wife began to get ready his long,
heavy stockings, his thick mit, his
homespun smock, and other gear, for
she knew well that soon she would be
alone for another winter. Before

gain and his men came to him for
their orders •
But it was not to the old life that
Macdonald Was going, and he grave-
ly- told those that came to him that
he would take no man who could not
handle his axe arid hand -spike, and
who could not behave himself. "Be-
having himself" ,meant taking no
mere whiskey than a man could carry,
d refusing all invitations to fight
unless "necessity was laid upon him."
The only man to object was his own
brother, Macdonald Dubh, whose tem-
er was swift to blaze, and with whore
the blow was quicker than the word.
Btt after the second year of the new
order even Black Hugh fell into line.
Macdonald soon became famous on the
Ottawa. He picked 'only the best menei

Mr. A.squith, followed in a sht;t-
but telling speech. Ile po=ut -el on .
that there are at least four senses in
which the ,word: "annexation" bar
been employed in all these -die. is
sions. In the first place, "there -nee
be and there will be annexation, 1:
this war Is to result in a deeel-a•
and honorable peace, which con:•:,;t:.
In the emancipation of enthre:
and oppressed populations." An,
other meaning of anneXation 13
unior of artificially separated na-
tionalities!' This obviously applies
to Poland and, in part, to Italy and.
France. Then there was annexation,
or the transfer of territory, "for the
Purpose of self-protection and de-
fence against future attack." This
is dangerous ground, as Mr. Asquith
admitted. So far as England is con-
cerned, he probably had in mind
only the Gentian eolonies, But he
must be aware that this thirdsense
of annexation is precisely the one
which the Pan -Germane seize upon
as an excuse for keeping Belgium
and parts of France. Finally, there
%vas the fourth sense of annexations
purely for the expansion of territory
and for the sake of politieal arid
2cononne aggeandizement. Against. °
that kind of annexation the British.
Government was enterely ready toe
strike hands witil Aussian
am ce-itain," declared Mr. Asquith,
-dirt* there is no Power ameng the
Allies prepared either to practice or
to just ty" annexation of that sort.
And he added his belief that, "whea
the ground is explored and the am -
'nannies are removed," there was.
r‘eilly no difference -between us and
our friend of fiat democracy of Rus-
sia" in regard to the question of
ann Ixations and "the general lines,
on etien peace should be nsid-
ered."

Help to Save rnads Fruit Cr
2 Practical Thra Suysrestion
This year, as never before, every quart of
Canada's fruit crop should be used...to the very best
advantage. Though it all ripens within four months, it
can be made to supply every table, every day in the
year, at moderate cost.
Canning and preserving, done at home at the
time when each fruit is cheapest, provide in delicious
and economical form the daily fruit so necessary in a
wholesbuie diet. Fruit put up at home is much cheaper
than that which you buy, and the slight increase in its
, cost, due to the higher price of sugar, is small compared
with the mounting cot of other foods.
Successful preserving and canning are by no
means difficult, either, if you are careful to bon every.
thing, and use
