-The Snowshoe Trail
By EDISON 'MARSHALL
CHAPTER XIV.-(Cont'd,)
"You can claim haif of, it," Harold
into was whispering eagerly mt Virginia's
ear, "You were with Bill when he.
found it."
• "I can—but I won't," she replied
coldly,
"Gold, gold, gold," he whispered to
himself. •"Heaps and heaps of it --
what I've alwayr hunted. And' Bill
had to find it. That devil had to walk
right' into it."
He wad sickened by the thought that
except forhis own cowardiee.he would
have accompanied therm into the den.
Then he would have been in a position
to claim half the mine—and get it,
too.
He found'a mach. The white skele-
ton lay just at his feet.
He drew -back startled, but instantly
regained his poise, FIe knelt with un-
explicable intentness. He, too, saw the
ghastly wound and its grirh'connection
with the rusted pick• And he bent,
slotvly, like a man who is trying to
control tin unwonted eagerness, lifting
the pick in his arms.
Oh, it 'wes easy to handle and lift!
How naturally it swung in his arms!
What a deadly blow the cruel point
could inflict!
CHAPTER XV.
Bill made piens for• an ear'31 ,tart
to his Twenty-three Mile cabin.
"I'll leave befoee dawn—as-soon as
it gets grey," he told Virginia as he
bade -her good right. "I'll come back
the next day, with a backload of sup-
plies. And with the little we have left,
we will have enough to go on. We can
start for Bradleyburg the day after
that"
Virginia took no pleasure in bidding
him goodbye.
Her voice sank almost to a whisper,
and her tones were sober and earnest.
"I'll pray for you• Here's my hand,
Bill."
He groped /for it, found it at last;
it was swallowed in his own palm, and
the heart of the man raced and' thtill-
ed and turned. •
He mashed on, his snowshoes crunch-
ing on the white crust. The powers of
the wilderness gave him good speed—
almost to the noon hour.
Then he was suddenly aware that
the fine edge of the wilderness silence
had been dulled. There was a faint
stir at his ear drums, The stir grew
to a faint and distant 'murmur, the
murmur to a longsedish like a million
rustling garments. A tree fell with a
crest, far away. Then the wind smote
him.
It•was fr,m the southeast.
No man of the Northwest provinces
is unacquainted with this wind. It is
prayed for in the spring because its
breath melts the drifts swiftly but it
is hated to .death by the traveler,
caught .I'ar from his cabin on snow•
woes.
It did not occur to Bill to turn back.
Already he was nearly halfway to his
eestination. 'Phe food supplies had to
be secured, sooner or later; and whe,1
the Chinook comes no man knows when
it will go away. He meshed on through
the softenin,5 snow.
The truth suddenly dawned upon
him that he was face to face with one
of the most uncomfortable situations
of all his years in the forest. He didn't
believe he would be able to make the
cabin before the fall of night.
His woodsman's senses predicted a
bitter night.
Through the black hours he would
have to fight off sleep so that he could
men the fire and cut fuel.
Late afternoon: already the shalows
lay strange and heavy in the distant
tree aisles. And all at once he pauses!,
thrilled, in his tracks.
A little way to the east, on the bank
of a small creek, his father• and his
traitorous partner had once had a min-
ing claim—a mine they had tried nn-
successfully to operate before Bronson
had made his big strike.
They had built a small cabin, and

CHAPTER XVI.
There was plenty of heart -breaking
work to do whe 1 Bill finally reached.
the -little cabin.,He cbaldn't force open
the doer, so' he hacked a hole in it
through which he entered.
After, looking about, he ;twined to
his toil of making a fire just outside
the hole.: '
Tired `out,. he climbed inside again
and laydo yn on the dry dirt, putting
his arm under his' head..
All at once he'was aware that his
oyes -were fastened ,upon 'an old cigar
box •on a shelf against the 'wall. `-
As he reached to seize it, he had a
distinct premonition of misfortune.
It -contained a single photograph.
It was .a typical old-fashioned photo-
graph—two :men standing',in stiff and
awkward poses in an old-fashioned pic
t.re gallery—printed' in the time -worn
One 'of the men was his own father.
And he stared ' at the other eace—a
other handsome thin-lipped, sardonic -
eyed• face—as if he .v. ere looking at a
ghost.
1.
"It's Harold Lounsbury!" he cried.
But instantly he knew it could not be
Harold Lounsbury, Already he knew.
It was 'no other than Rutheford, the
man . who .slew his father.
- His deductions followed with deadly
and remorseless certainty. He knew
now why Harold Lounsbury had come
into Clearwater. Virginia had told
Bill that her lover had .seemed to have
some definite place in view for his
prospecting: he had simply come to
search for the same lost mine that Bill
had discovered the previous day.
He. knew now why Kenly Lounsbury
had been willing, to finance Virginia's
trip ;nto the North—not in hopes of
finding his lost nephew, but to find
the mine of -which he also had same
knowledge.
In the same sweep of realization he
knew why Harold Lounsbury's face
had always haunted him and filled him
with hazy, uncertain memories.
Harold Lounsbury was Rutheford's
son—the son of his father's murderer•
Kenly Lounsbury was Rutheford's
brother.
All at once the smoke from the fire
began to pour in upon hint, choking
his lungs and filling his eyes with
tears.
CHAP'T'ER XVII.
For a moment Bill gave little atten-
tion to the deepening clouds' of pun-
gent, biting wood smoke that the wind,
suddenly shifting, whipped in through
the hole he had cut in the door.
This was the most bitter moment
of his life, and h, was lost and remote
in his dark breedings. The smoke
didn't matter.
The fight for life no longer seemed
worth while.
The smoke deepened in the cabin. It
seemed to be affecting his power to
stand erect. He tried t„o think of some
way to save himself; his mind was
slow and dull.
He knew that he couldn't get out of
the cabin.
There was only a little bole in the
door; to crawl through it, inch by inch,
as he had entered, would subject him
to the full fury of the flames.
Meanwhile the fire burned higher,
the wind blew the clouds of smoke
from th. green wood through the hole
as if it were high pressure steam -
It soon ryas impossible for Bill to
see—even to hold his eyes open, the
cruel smoke tortured them so.
If even: a,nnan were caught in a ter-
rible trap of his own making that
.man was Bill Bronson.
His ax! With his ax he could chop
the door away. His hand fumbled at
his belt. But ho remembered now; he
had left his• ax outside the cabin, its
blade thrust into the spruce log that
had supplied his feel.
Suddenly he saw himself face to
face with seemingly certain death. The
smoke clouds were ,swiftly and surety
strangling him. Already his conscious-
ness -Was departing. He leaped for the
opening. again and fell sprawling oil
the dirt floor. He started to spring
up—
.But he suddenly grew inert, breath-
ing deeply. There was still air close
to the ground. Strange he hadn't
thought of it before -'just to lie still,
face close to the dirt. It pained him
to breathe; his eyes throbbed and
burned, but at least it was life, Then
all Was confused—oblivion.
When Bill wakened again, the last
pale glimmer of the lighted smoke was
gone.
The fire had evider.tly burned clown
and out,
His fumbling hands encountered the
log walls; then he groped about till he
found the plank. door. .His holds
smarted, but their sense of touch did
not seem blunted.
Ile hat, t,ever known a darker night!
His muscles were more at his com-
mand now; with a great lurch he
.prang Up and thrust head and shoul-
ders through the hole in the door.
The hot ashes punished his face, and
his hands encountered hot coals as he
thrust therm through. Yet with a
mighty effort he pushed on until his
wrists touched the icy snow. He knew
that he was safe.
He stood eroet, scarcely believing
in his deliverance.
The wind'atill blew the snow dust—
a stinging lash from the north and
west.
it was curious that a cloudy night
could be so cold. Yet he could not see
the gleam of a star.
The coals of 'the fire too were
smothered and obscured in ashes.
s, He.
stepped toward them, intending to rake
hem up for such heat az they could
Yield.
Presently he halted, gazing with
fascinated- horror at the ground.
He Was •suddetily sten& with a
ghastly and terrible possibility.
His hand groped for a match.
He beard it ct'aok,in the silence, but
evidently it was a sled! The darkness
before his eyes remained unbroken.
Filled with a sick fear, he±removed
his glove -and passed his handover the
upheld match. There was=.1a;longer
a possibility for doubt. The tiny flame'
smarted hid flesh,',
"Blind!" he cried. "Out here in the

Zoo Animals 'Have.
Tough 'Ind gesti'. ns
By',Craven Hill
generally ,speaking; .most animals
refuse to torch food which they do itot
"takoto" ,by_instinct, but there are
some which will readily eat almost
anything that: is offered,, whether' it 1e
food or ant,
Some time ago a certain -fallow deer
became !mown for its odd habit of eat-
ing paper, with ith tha result that people
plied the unfortunate animal.with this
very unsuitable form of nourishment
until 10 died, A post -Morten examina-
tion showed that its stomach contain-
ed sixteen pounds of newspaper and
paper bags! You may say that, the
animal 'should have known better, but
what about the visitors who fed it?
In• midsummer, during the hot
months of June and July, special care
has to he exercised in feeding the
Zoo's large family. At this time the
Zoo's 'season is at its'height The gen-
dens are crowded on every flnday by
visitors who have come to .see the
baby animals and young birds; and
perhaps topfoed ,them. It certainly
the best time to pay a visit to the gar-
dens, for in June and July every Zoo
mother is busy rearing her young.
Zoo's Bfggest "Guzzlers"
Summer also being the time when
the "Eat more fruit" • enthusiasts are
at large, it follows that much of the
food given to the animals Is,of this
little. But too ,much fruit—or unsuit-
able fruit—is 'a frequent eanse of.10
digestion among Zoo animals.
It is really astonishing what some
animals will eat if 'given, the oppor-
tunity, The fact. that their digestive
powers 'May be slight does not weiga
either with themselves or with the
public who ,feed them.
Probably the biggest "guzzlers" at
the Zoo are those with feathers on
them. Baby birds are notoriously
greedy, but the young.bird of paradise
excels them all, for he will cheerfully
eat until he falls into a fit!
Swallowed a Blanket
•
Ravens have a strong partiality for
grapes, and will gorge .on them till
they can oat no. more. Any further of-
ferings after saturation point has been
reached are stored away in odd cor-
ners against the time when appetite
shall return.
The snakes, being kept behind glass
panels, cannot be'fed by visitors, and
this is perhaps just as well, for snakes
do not always know what is good for
them. One python actually swallowed
a blanket which had been placed in
its cage. Another snake of the same
species tried to swallow a bamboo pole
which was being need to push forward
a tread rat.
It got about two feet of the polo
clown its throat before it discovered its
error and began to jib. After much
painful struggling the unnatural diet
was happily disgorged.
The monkey tribe, generally speak-
ing, has a tough digestion, which is as
well, since more visitors flock to the
monks; house than to any other. What
is more, some monkeys discriminate
quite wisely in what they eat. One of
them, given an ice-cream cornet, very
politely handed it back to the donor.
But perhaps the prang • was even
wiser. When he was given ice-cream
he applied It externally, emptying it
over the top of his head.
The toughest digestion in the whole
Zoo is undoubted!, that possessed by
the ostrich. "A digestion like an os-
trich" we often say—so often that it
has become a proverb—and there is
some truth in it. Unfortunately, oven
an ostrich can overdo things, One Zoo
ostrich died because some "kind"
friend had fed him with a tin-opener.
The ordinary food given to the ani-
mals by the authorities is carefully
selected and contains all the needful
food factors, so that it isn't really
necessary for visitors to feed the ani-
mals at all. However, human nature
being what it is, visitors are allowed
to give certain foods to certain ani-
mals, and to help them hero are the
substances suttee:a for some 'of the
popular favorites,
Visitors may give to the bears—
bread, buns, biscuits, fruit, sugar,
honey, treacle, and jam. He who of-
fers a tin of treacle, with the lid re-
moved or a hole punched in it,:to old
Bruhn has'an amusing time in front of
hint.
He Never Says "No"
Monkeys are strictly vegetarian.
They may liave fruit, lettuce, biscuits,
buns, and sugar. Parrots may be
given monkey -nuts and fruit and green
shoots with the bark, but what Polly
loves best is perhaps a full-sized ban-
ana. Give him one with the shin on
and watch the result, It is worth
while.
A point to remember is that monkey -
nuts must not be given to aquatic ani-
mals, or, indeed, offered to any, ani -
mai except monkeys, 'squirrels, and
parrote. No food at all may be given
rthe'carnivora
by,visito s to larger g ,
small cats, or otters, but 'here is al-
ways consolation to be found in old
Jumbo. Although each elephant has
a regular authorized ration of over
200 11. 01 luty, corn and roots per diem,
to always seems to have room for a
potato or a dainty from your picnic
basket.
There is no doubt that many ani-
mals do gain by the excitement of be-
ing'fed by visitors, and the varied ad-
ditions that come their way ensure
their receiving a.full meed of vita-
mins. But, once again, the brute must
be fed on suitable food.—Answers.

In' Ancient Days ; Is Now Isolated

There were forks in the days ofour
remote Anglo-Saxpn forefathers., but
they were articles of luxury, used only
.by the "great and noble"- on state 00-
casions. One was' found in 183i1 as
some laborers were, gutting a deep
drain at a town in North Wilts, Eng.
Seventy Saxon pennies, sovereigns
dating from 786 to 800 A.D. . were
packed in a box, of which some de-
cayed remnants were left. It alsoheld
some articles of personal adornment
and a spoon, besides the fork and the
coins. The fabric and ornamentation
of the fork and, spoon gave`vidence
of their age, which was confirmed bee
the dates on the coins.
There is still in existence a German
fork which is believed to have been
made somewhere near the close of'the
sixteenth century. On its handle is
the figure of a "fool" or jester that is
Jointed like a child's doll . and that
tumbles about when the fork is used.
At the beginning of the seventeenth
century, forks were introduced into
England by the author. of that curious
book, "Coryate's Crudities." He was
a strange traveler, famous for visiting
far countries and noting their alien
ways and customs. He says he first
observed the use of the fork in Italy
only, "because the Italian cannot by
any means endure having his dish
touched with .fingers, seeing all men's
fingers are not alike clean." These
"little forks" were usually made of
iron or steel, but occasionally of silver.
Coryate says he 'thought good to het -
tate the Italian fashion by this forked
cutting of meat" and suffered for 11 1
by being called a fop by some of his
friends. But it was not long before
the cleanliness and cones:donee of the
innovation caused it to be generaily
adopted.
The early craftsmen devoled much
of thehr skill to devieleg clever orna-
ments for the handke of the forks.
Perhaps a desire to popularize the
new instruments may have inspired
tlnont. However that may be, pictures
of these ancient forks show many
quaint and clever designs. One can
easily fancy a company at a feast
spending a goodly part of their time
in "handling" their forks, fascinated
by the various birds, flowers, beasts,
saints and notables gayly depicted
thereon, and sporting with all the old -
'time hearty ardor this new fashion of
the table.
Trachoma is One of Scourges
of Human Race -Results
in Blindness - •
Detroit, Mich—Investigations core
roborating the work of Dr, Hideyo No-
whogucht of the Rockefeller Institute
'for Ivledical Research, who isolated
the germ believed to be the cause of
trachoma, were reported at the 'clos-
ing session of the American Medical
Association by 'William C, Finnof and
Dr. Phillips Thygeson of Denver,
The reported germ, identical with
that described by Dr. Noguebi, was re
covered by them from several trach-
oma victims. Inoculation of monkeys
with the germ produced trachoma in
these animals, and the germ was again
recovered.
Dr. Finnof regarded this as a 1500-
dirmation •of the results obtained by,
the Japanese scientist. He declared,
however, that there is not yet final
proof that the organism in question is
the cause of tracoma in human beings,
since trachoma in monkeys is not
identical with that in human beings.
i The studies and experiments report-
ed
eported by the Denver physicians appeared
to make a deep impression upon the
'assembled scientists, who regarded
the confirmation of Dr. Nogt.chi's work
as an important' step toward the con-
quest of trachoma, a dreaded disease
of the eyes, which may result in blind-
' ness. The disease, caused by a speci-
fic micro-organism, wbose complete
identity has not yet been definitely es-
tablished, is highly infectious. It re-
mains one of the unconquered
scourges of the human race.

a shrip loaded with, people, but there
wasn't a single one on it?—They ;were
ail married.
Orchards, fragrant, stonewalled,
Where the ]summing of drowsy bee -
choirs
Throbs through the long summer
hours
Like the chanting of friars,
Gardens of larkspur and phlox,
With an old-fashioned charm, quaint,
enthralling;
Hearth -fires at twilight, and peace,
And the organ tones of the sea calling.

draw the line somewhere," replied the
Frenchman.
