There are net many of taens left now

that he was rescued.
Wild Elk Herd is Thriving
- *
Ardover N. H„ Has Colony of Fifty.
Which Has Grown from Twelve
Liberated Ten Years Ago.
Concord. N. II.—In the sparsely set
tled town of Andover, reaching from
Ragged mountain on the north to ]
Kearsarge mountain on the south, is
the only herd of wild elk east of the
Rocky mountains.
A party of Boston lawyers recently
visited Andover on a snowshoeing trip,
climbed Kearsarge and Ragged moun
tains and returned full of enthusiasm
for the region as a winter resort.
Leaving Boston at nine o'clock In the
morning, they left the train at noon at
Potter Place, the principal station in
the town of Andover After dinner
snowshoes were put on and the party
started up the south slope of Ragged
mountain over the property of the
Ragged Mountain Kish and Came club. >
it was on this property that a herd of
1- elk was liberated about ten years !
ago it has now increased to the |
xxuxubcr of .V.V
The cottage# of xhe club members ;
are conspicuous on the southern slope j
of the mountain, occupying picturesque \
sites, but most of them are grouped j
rear Cold pond, a famous fishing poud |
on the club property Soon after the
<>or..1 was closed to public fishing #ome ‘
one took revenge for his exclusion by
placing in the pond several pickerel.
These increased at a marvelous rate,
feeding on trout until the latter were
practically extinct. The club then
rid the waters of the lake of all flab
and stocked it anew, until the fishing
is once more excellent.
The Boston party were much disap
pointed in not getting a sight of the
elk. but their tracks were everywhere
to be seen, ranging from the tracks
of small calves to the hoof prints of
two-year-old heifers. Instead of being
poiuted. like deer tracks, toese tracks
were blunt in front and nearly oblong
It was learned later that the herd had
taken up its quarters on a neighbor
ing farm, where they were feeding
contentedly on young orchards.
The owner of the farm has instruct
ed his men to protect the property,
and reports are daily expected that
some of the elk have been slaughtered
As elk are protected in New Hamp
shire throughout the year, interesting
legal questions will be raised if any of
tnese elk are killed. It is said by land
owners that they have a r^ht to pro
tect their property from c* predations
of wild animals, but how fay this right
extends has never been determined in
New Hampshire.

How Love Cane to Harriet
By TEMPLE BAILEY
(Copyright, 1309 by Associated Literary Press.)
Harriet threw her books on the
couch and said in a tone of disgust:
"Everything is so different this year,
and horrid—"
Mazie looked up languidly. “What's
the matter?"
Harriet sat down on the foot of the
couch. "Weil, last year all the girls |
were just jolly and simple and natural.'
and now they've all come back in love.
Four of them engaged, and the rest—
mooning."
Mazie laughed. “Well, they are old
enough, aren't they?" she demanded.
“This Is their senior year.”
"Yes. they are old enough.” Harriet
admitted, "but I don't see why they
wanted to tie themselves up. and now
they can't talk of anything but ro
mance and roses, and they are always
writing letters. Even you, Mazie.
when I begin to talk on sensible sub
jects, your eyes get dreamy, and be
fore I know it you are asking me if
1 don't like blue-eyed men better than
brown-eyed ones."
Mazie blushed. "You'll know how it
is yourself some day. Harriet.’*
"If I do.” said Harriet, fiercely, ”r.o
one will know a thing about It. I'll
keep it to myself, and not go around
looking like a dying calf.”
Mazie's laughter rippleu. "You
couldn't hide it, Harry—no woman
can.”
“Well, you see.” Harriet said, “but
I*m not going to fall in love—I’m going .
t.> stick strictly to books and let boys
alone."
“Of course.” said Mazie. demurely.
“1 wish you joy. Harriet.”
They studied in silence for awhile,
then Harriet said. “1 am going for a
walk—want to go. Mazie?"
Mazie's eyes twinkled. "l've got a
letter to write. Harriet."
"To Bob?" Harriet demanded.
"Yes"
“But you wrote to him yesterday."
"Why not?"
"Oh, you are hopeless," said Har
riet. and flung herself out of the room

riet lau/hed and joked and teased, but
when at last she was out pn the snowy
path her eyes were full of tears. It
was not easy to make new friends,
and last year she had had such close
companionship.
She went down the Lake road, head
i up, cheeks red, trying to walk off the ‘
blues that oppressed her.
And because her head was up she |
slipped on an icy stretch of ground, I
twisted her ankle and fell in a forlorn 1
heap.
And there a plodding old farmer,
with his plodding team, fourd her, a
half hour later, half froren In the mid
dle of the road
"1 called and called." Harriet said,
"and I couldn’t make anybody hear."
“There wasn’t anybody to hoar."
said the old man. “I was on my way
to the mill, but they ain't many goes
this way—"
"If you could take me to the—"
Harriet began, ns she tried to stand
up. and then, before she could finish
tier sentence, she fainted dead away.
"Hum." said the old man, and
rubbed his stubby chin. Then he
loaded her into the wagon like a sack
or meal, and never stopped driving
until he had reached the office of the
only doctor in the town.
When Harriet opened her eyes,
some one was saying: "It’s a pretty
bad sprain: she’ll have to stay here
| for some time.”
Harriet’s eyes came open with a
snap.
*Tve got to get back,” she said, i
with decision.
The doctor laughed—a mellow laugh ;
that Harriet liked.
"You are going to stay here for ten j
days.”
“Hut they won't allow it—the facul
ty. 1 mean—the girls have to be in the
dormitory every night.”
"1 telephoned up to the college,” the
doctor said, “and they are going to
send one of the teachers to stay with
you.”
He had a way with him that seemed
to settle things, and Harriet tounc
herself acquiescing meekly.
"Well, I'm glad it's one of the ■
teachers you sent for,” she remarked, i
"and not one of the girls.”
"Why?”
"Because the girls are all In love.
It's a perfect epidemic. If you had a
cure for hearts you could get a good
practice up there in the dormitory “
“They wouldn't employ me.” his j
amused glance met her. “They don’t
want to be cured.”
"Well, they are silly.” Harriet said
"No,” he contradicted, “they are j
not”
She looked np quickly. “But they
are so young—and there's so much it j
life besides love.”
“There is nothing in life,” he told
her gravely, "but love—love of one’s j
fellow men. love of God. the love oi
family, of friends, and. greatest ol
all. the love cf the lover for the \
woman who shares his life.”
Harriet was thrilled by the way he
said It. His wife must be a happy
woman she thought
She said as much to Miss Flick, the
little English teacher, when they had
been in the doctor’s home for over a
week. "How happy his wife must be.' j
For Dr Redmond was one of the
men who. in a selfish world, forgot j
himself and lived only for the pool
souls who depended upon him. Night
and day he toiled, glorying in his op- j
portunities. never too tired nor tot j
busy to give himself for others.
Harriet thought of the boys she had
known—nice fellows, but occupied
with having a good time. She decided
that if she ever married she would ,
choose a man like the doctor.
She wondered what kind of woman
his wife might bo. and complained to >
Miss Flick. "The dt-ctor's wife hasn't
been in to see once."
“My dear.” Miss Flick exclaimed,
"he isn’t married.”
"But the maid spoke of Mrs. Rod
mond."
"That was his mother who was
over for the day.”
"Oh.” said Harriet.
Of course, everybody knows what
happened Harriet tell in love with
Dr. Redmond.
"But no one shall ever guess," she
! resolved, bravely.
But that night as she lay on the
couch in the living room, with Miss
Flick downstairs, eating her dinner
the doctor came in
"Better, little girl?” he asked.
"Yes.” Harriet's tone was subdued
He sat down beside the couch.
“You'll be well enough to go back
to-morrow,” he said, "and 1 know you
want to get at your studies.”
Studies! Harriet had forgotten thal
such things as books existed
"Oh. yes, of course.” she stammered
He gazed into the fire, his grave
eves intent on the dancing flames. ”1
shall miss you—" he said at last.
Harriet caught her breath. “It has |
been nice to be here.”
He turned to her suddenly. "I wish
1 might say to you all that's in mv
heart." he said. “I'm such a lonely
old fellow, and you fit In somehow—
into my life. You are so straightfor
ward and sweet—and dear—Harriet.” j
And then he asked her to marry:
him. and Harriet, man hating Harriet,
said "Yes."
“But you mustn’t tell any one.” she
warned him. "not a soul shall know
until spring."
She went back to school the next
day. arriving at three o'clock. And at
five she wrote a note. At seven, as
she sat studying with Maxie. she
