A MOTOR CAR
There WaS tnallY no reason wee
Tootleboom should buy a motor -car.
Unless it was that this particular one
was going cheap, which was a very
good excuse for snapping it up, .when
vcu come to think of it. If people are
not to take advantage of a dfoliIn

want, witat would be the use of aura -

• "Of course, it will save electors
bills; my dear," said Archibald, rhap-
setting on the subject to his wife. "I
shall be able to run you and the chit-
• then into the country so often, that
• mere health van be had for the ask-
ing. We shan't pay another cab fare
for years, and we can snap our fingers
at the railway. Then, again, I badly
want same sort of hobby to fill Ma
spare moments."
,Amelia could have suggested several
things herself. Tee wringer wanted
overhauling, and a few shelves in the
scullery would have been useful; to
say nothing of a coat of whitewash on
the cellars. But these trifles van
-
!sited when she thought of the huntila
Wen of the Mumfords at seeing her

veil would just suit her particular
style of beauty.
The car was brought round next dayi
arriving just as the Mumfores were
going by, and those snobby people
over the way happened to be otitside.
It was necessary to remove part of
the fence to get It en the lawn, but
Amelia would have cheerfully seen
half the !louse taken down, she was so
gratified.
"You'll hardly need to drive her,"
said the late own*', when he had pour-
ed a small volume of technicalities in-
to Tootleboom's ear. "She practically
goes by herself."

EXCITING MOOSE HUNT
Remarkable incident in the ',Ives of
Railway Path Finders
A letter from Mr. Charles J. Bruce,
one of the engineers' layitig out the
late of the proposed Hudson Bay rata

limn and a moose, illustrative of the

make up thette path -finder parties in
the far north. There are three sur-
veying parties at work between the
Pas and York factory, and tbe scene
• described occurred on the Nelson
river. Tee country Is. a sportsman's
paradise, literally swarming with
game. The adventure in question oc-
curred about the latter part of July,
and is told. as follows: •
"'Silent' Jack Labelle and Scotty
were exploring„ a creek running into
the bay in front of the camp. Paddling
around a point they came Into a little
• lake, and in. the middle of the lake a
young bull :moose was swimming
.across. • They didel have a gun, knife,
or weapon of any kind, but that didn't
• have • any effect on 'Silent' Jack, a
Maniwale . boy, by the -way, and our
head packer.' He wanted titat moose,
and he was going to get him. In spite
of the frenzied protests of 'Scotty,'
who was sure he was goiug to be up.

alongside of the .Moose and went for
him with a paddle. The - first blow
sheared the moose's ear off as though
It bad been done with a • knife. Tim

ereens on its horns. Nothing' put out
by this, Jack caught the horns and

Per the belle of L4me:anvi1:0 loved

With filatfera thuS, Anna Belle wee
introduced, at a functiou, at the Rod-
itey's, to a litt/e, dapper, nervous
who acknowledged the introduction
with a bow BO Chenterfieldian as to
serape the grass.
"I ant pleased -charmed -delight-
ed -I may say inexpressibly gratified
to IMMO tee Inestimable honor of your
eceuaintaace," sputtered the little
wan. "Shall we sit here beneath tbe
spreading maples, or shall I conduct
you to some sylvan bower, where we
can discuss the fads, foibles and fan.
cies of those about us?"
• The little man paused to draw a
deep breath. Jack, wile had been lis•
• tening, groaned aloud. Anna Belle
gazed at the little man whit awed de -
1 might presume to conduct you
to the bower to which I have juet
seelten, there to unburden my heart
and mind of the thousand and one
things winch the charm of your preie
euce brings into beirtg----" continued
the little man. And Anna Belle al-
lowed heraelf to be conducted.
Then for two hours Hatfield sat dis-
consolately beneath the spreading ma-
ple and marveled at the unceasing,
one-sided babale which came from
the eylvan bower, rising and falling,
droning and buzzing, huuuning, billing
but never ceasing. Hatileld timed
What he Judged to be the little man's
sentence, and amide aolemn path at
the grocery next night that they aver-
aged three and seven -eighths minutes,
Anna Belle, conquered in a night, man-
aged .one e,omplete sentence at the
close of the evening, elleiting the in-
formation that the little man's hame
was Warburton Sands, and tbat 10
was the tie* barber.
After that it seemed to be the cold
shoueler for Jack Hatfield, and the ex -
twilled hand for Sands, the barber.
Anna Belle had been simply swept off
her feet by the torrent of words. She
grew quiet, reserved, almost taciturn.
When Mr, Sands called, she woul4
simply suggest "weather," qr "mine,"
and the tonsorial artist would begin
while the belle leaned.her pretty heal
back and listened.
Things woie on until the matter
seemed to have resolved into merely
a duestion of the date of the mar-
riage. • Hatfield had ceased all ef-
fort, thouge he :was seriously consid-
ering taking a mail-order course in
loquacity. Sands, the barber, was at
Anna Belle's arm night and day.
Then at the Jonathan Rodneys again
he brought the matter to a head. Hat:
field saw him lead Anna Belle Into the
bower once more. Jack very discern:
solate, gravitated near. •Front tbe
bower a terrific babble came to his
ears: •4
•. "I love -I vow -it is for this -for-
ever and eternally -ba the stars above
us -hand in hand togetherdown the
pattts-"
Drawn irresistibly, Hatfield peeped
into the bower. Anna Belle cowered
in a corner, shrinking from, dodging
the Niagara of word which came un-
ceasingly from the barber: , •
"Ti]] death do us 'part -upon my
heart I say the end of time -
never again to say good-bye-"
• At sight of Hatfield, Anna. Belle
gave a little scream and flung herself
at the astounded had -bee. "Oh;
Jack," she cried, "if you still care for
me take me away. • You're suclra goed
listener, Jack, arta' I want to do the
talking,"
• Jack, who • was wiser that he ap-
peared, merely grunted aud led her
away. And from the bOwer came af-
ter • them the voice of Warburton
Sands, the barber: •
•
• "I pledge my undying fealty -ever
and ever -until the sun grows cold -
and then some." •
