He was calm and thoughtful and, in spite of his haggard face and straggly beard and ragged garment, he seemed more like the Tim Mui - kern who was always kind and good. The gorge was roaring full of logs and white -water. He went as close to the brink as he dared and shielded his eyes with his palm and gazed dcwn. "Mr. Eavanagh, sir, they're run- ning free," he shouted. "God. bless 'em, rinin!ag. free! And ye say my work is done and I can go home? Thank ye, •sir.

There was the bit board wi' put to it all of a sudden. Kezar had been making daily trips along the horseback to a point where he could overlook the outlet camp. He came running back in such haste that Noel was obliged to throw himself on his face in a coppice. Holding from one side of the ridge path, dodging from tree to tree, the Indian followed Donald, after the usual manner of the trail.. He found that he was obliged to keep rather closer to the young maie than was prudent; but there were others com- ing along the path; a man and a wo- man -were chatting sociably, making their presence and their 'whereabouts kncrwni; it enabled Noel to keep out of their sight while he kept Donald in view most of the time. Over and over again .Kezar stopped and took aim, steadying his rifle by • means of a tree. •Hach time he lowered the barrel and went on'. The trees were thickly set on the ridge; he may have lacked resolution, he may have found the frees troublesome. • The ridge offered but little real covert for an assassin who wanted to make sure of his job and to hide his identity. The growth was mostly beech and ash, and the trees and bushes had been stripped of their leaves. But that this man with the rifle was now desperately seeking opportunity was plain to the pursuer wit had watched him in the past with such intenteness. Old Noel drew the knife he had been honing for so long. He dropped lower down the ridge; he hurried; he began to run, even though' his old heart might crack for it. If he could get behind this renegade with the rifle! That was it—get be- hind him; as it was, Noel had .been facing him most of the time; Keeer was walking backward, ducking and • dodging. Indigestion and practically all forms of stomach trouble, say medi- cal authorities, are due nine times out of ten to an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Chronic "acid stomach" is !exceedingly 4-mgerous and sufferers should do either one of two things. ' Either theyecan go on a limited and often disagreeable diet, avoiding foods that disagree with them, that irritate the stomach and lead to exdess. acid secretion or they can eat as they please in reason and make it a prac- tice to counteract the effect of the. harmful acid and prevent the forma- tion of gas, sourness or premature fermentation by the use of a little. Bisurated Magnesia at their meals. There is -probably no better, safer or more reliable stomach antiacid than Bisurated Magnesia and it is widely used for this purpose. It has no direct action on the stomach and is not a digestent. Put a teaspoonful of the powder or a couple of five grain tablets taken in a little water with the food will neutralize the excess acidity which may be. present and prevent its further formation. This removes the whole cause of the trou- ble and the •meal digests naturally' and healthfully without need of pep- sin pills or artificial digestents. -Get a few ounces of Bisurated Mag- neeia from any reliable druggist. Ask for either powder or tablets. It never comes as a liquid, milk or citrate and in the bisurated form is not a laxative., Try this plan and eat what you want at your next meal and see if this isn't the best advice you ever had on "what to But at 'Jest there was a covert; it was an ideal one.- Kezar saw it and hurried up the side of the ridge; the path dipped at that point and that was why the covert was ideal; it was above the path. It was a hole under the upcocked plat of a fallen tree. Old Noel looked up from where he rested on his hands and knees. He ,saw Kezar sneak backward into the hole. rifle across his forearm. Si) he had chosen his ambush; he had resolved to kill! - Noel rose, the honied knife in his fist. He lifted foot as if to -rush toward the hole. ut he halted his step and stood poised in that fashion, he the petrified position of a pointing hound. He felt the stab of a sensation which he had never expeidenced in his years, one hundred and two. He saw Death lay revengeful jand restraining and ruthless hand on one of its unworthy agents: The plat smashed down and • lay with soil edges welded. Uprais- ed, the plat had seemed odd, out of place. Now the riven stump jutted from a stretch of earth which was fit- • ted back into the place where it had • been resting through all the years. Noel clambered to the spot and stood beside the trunk and raised th honed knife and said a prayer to mighty Paniola,, that gird of vengeance • of all the tribes which once made up the great Abnaki race! Pamola had taken it all upon himself! Pamola had revenged the White Lily!' Pamola had saved the, honed knife from the the word o' warning. And why would he be crawling into a hole? "He back in. No look behind. In hole to shoot man." - "Blood o' Bruce! There's only one mon dorm thot trail to -day, beside's yeself, he'd hanker to shoot." "No shoot! No kill anybody any more! Nobody know. Me no tell. You no tell. Me all e done here. Must go. Good -by!" He took his pack from the peg inside • Kilbeck's door and went away with the air of a man, who had something - important to attend to. • The Scotchman remained on • his stool, his elbows on his knees, his hands dangling limply. In his con- sternation he watched the Indian de= part; he made no protest and he did not return a word to Noel's farewell. One of the kittens clawed its way up Kilbecles trousers leg and climbed to his shoulder by way of his arm; the, kitten sniffed at his ear with little - cold ntise. ."Dinna ye be hunting. for what went ini there just noo, wee wallopy! Ut's a sair dreadful thing thot went in there! Ut '11 ne'er cope,- oot!" Ile sat and meditated for a long time. "Listen, auld mousers!- Ut is already kennel by the lass and. her lad and by many More that he had reason enow to run away, and to stay away for ay.

I owe thot to the grands'r to make an auld codger's last days, hopeful, if nowt else." . So the cats and the kittens, crowd- ing at Kilbeck's feet, listened to the only' funeral discourse, such as it was, concerning Donald Kezar; they heard the first suggestion of a rii'mor which was later accepted as fact in the :valley of the Toba.n. One day in June, Ste. Agathe, Paul Sabatis and .Noel the Bear made the carry, going north, and put in t ir canoe above Tulandic. On the s ore Clare and Kenneth strolled, etching the hold -booms filling with the logs of the joined drives. Clare called to the Indians they waited. "What can you tell me for news about Lola, chief ?" she asked. She questioned Noel rather than Paul; there seemed to be some mystery in regard to Lola's relations with Paul. • "Him! Him tell!" returned the chief. She found an answer for herself before the young man spoke. There could be only one reason for the light in his eyes and glory of happi- ness on his face. "All is well with her, niam'selle! She is at Sainte Anne the Good. We are going there. She will come home with us."His tone caressed the word "home" with inexpressible tender- ness. "Do I understand? May she hesitated. He had pulled off his hat when she approached him. He held it toward her and pointed. to a folded paper that was skewered with quills and held the hat's .flap against the crown af- ter the manner of a cockade.

Millions of war orphans in Central Europe are growing up undernourished and stunted. Thousands of, them are dying of typhus, tuberculosis and small -pox. • One Child !. There is almost a complete -lack of the nourishing foods growing children need, of clothing, of doctors, nurses and medical supplies.' The coh4ition of the children is pitiable in the extreme. Upon this coming generation depends largely whether these nations will be healthy and right-minded or a hot -bed of anarchy and degeneracy—a menace to the world.. It has been found by experience that the cost of caring for a waif child is approximately three dollars per month; that of the supplies that are required by imports about one dollar is needed; and therefore the dollar that we provide, together with the local support of local governments, local muniti. pantie*, local charities and local services practically preserves the life of one child.
