I wants to help" CHAPTER II The Impatient Chapter. Katr's Xarmtive. This chapter Is so difficult to start. It deals with a time when life had become impossible unless one could jump from here to Wednesday nest, and thence to Monday fortnight. Of course the book is only meant for Jesse, for David, for me. and for those to come who may revere us as their ancestors Thank gcoaness. I am not a novelist! I seat David with his nurse to stay with Father Jared, so mother called me a cold blooded wretch. I abandoned my part at the oi*ra to a weird ravening female who can't sing, so my manager called me an atheist. My maids had to pack and run to escape storage with the furniture at the Peeking and Tootham Emporiums:" my iittle home passed to a gentleman with mourning nails, diamonds, and a lisp; by bits and scraps of stock were sold and the proceeds banked with the Hudson's Hay company. The keenest pleasure which ever money gave me came when Billy and I helped in the drafting of a cable order from the Hudson's Bay Company in London to that blind magnifico who manages their branch palace at Van couver. One always feels that if one happened to want a Paris hat, a bag of nuts, and a monkey, this Vancouver potentate would make a parcel of them without the slightest fear of their getting mixed. As to surprising the company, one m ght as well tickle the Alps. So here is the telegram: — "Provide three sleighs, each with two horses; engage two reliable bush teamsters; six months' guaranteed bonus for secrecy ai d fidelity. "Referring to previous requirements of Jesse Smith, load No. I sleigh to ca pacity with provisions, luxuries, am munition, books, consigned to him via bush trail from 59 Mile House, Cari boo Road Referring to Captain Tay lor’s past requirements and present sickness, load No. 2 sleigh with stores invalid comforts, consigned 100 Mile House.

Charge Scotson So far the impulse had moved me 'o be quick before I repented, and the journey gave time for that. Leav ing the sweet majesty and serene or der of the English landscape, I made the usual passage by S. S. Charon across the Styx to New York, where I yet, after the blessing, with his carv ing knife and fork poised over the roast, pause and lcok us straight in the eyes. ■" Well. boys, how goes the world?’ "And you better believe the thought of that moment steadied us often dur ing the day. We had to keep pretty straight to be able to return that clear look and answer: ’• ‘O. K.. Dad. ” Midde Name* Once Illegal. People have not always been al lowed the pleasure of having as many names as they wiihed; indeed. 400 years ago not even a middle name was allowed in England. It was ille gal. The old English law was definite and admitted of no infraction of its ruling. The only exception made to this Iron-dad regulation was in the case of persons of royal rank. If they really wished it they could boast a middle name, but woe to the person of ordinary rank who was sufficiently unwise or obstinate to insist on hav ing more than two appellations. Fdr the first offense he would very 1 Ukely be tied to a whipping post caught a stuffy train for the transit: of an untidy continent And so, in the starry middle of a night. I was met at Ashcroft The civil engineer sent by the Hud son's Bay Company was Mr. Sacrifice T. Eure. He stood uncovered, and while his ears froze, spelled his name to me, explaining that there were two syllables in -'Eure" with accent on the first. He seemed to convey an offer of protection, to claim my friendship, to take charge of my affairs, and with perfect modesty to let me know that he was competent He presented his assistant. led me to the sleigh, showed Billy where to stow the luggage, tucked me into some warm furs, congratulated me on es caping the local hotels, then bidding my man and his own to jump in, took the reins and asked which way we were going. 1 served as pilot along a trail of poignant memories. We slept that night at Hat Creek station, where Tearful George proved a most kindly host. He.- told me of a loaded sleigh which had passed last week on the way to Jesse's ranch. The teamster was Iron Dale. So far I had wondered whether my name was changing letter by letter from Madame Seotson into Mrs. Grumble, but now the scent of the pines brought ease of mind, and in the great calm of the wilderness one is ashamed to fret. Our next march brought us rather late for the midday dinner to Fifty Nine Mile House, which marks the summit of the long climb from Ash croft to the edge of the black pines. We drove on, freezing, and right giad 1 was to be welcomed with all the ruddy warmth and kindly cheer of Eighty Mile House. There we had tea, and secured fresh horses for the last stage of our journey. I learned also that the driver intrusted by the Hudson's Bay Company with provi ! sions for Hundred Mile House had i gone oft with the team, leaving his sleigh still loaded in Captain Taylor's i yard. Tlie malign bush seemed cowed by sheer immensity of glittering star light as we drove on. Only once I ven tured to speak, asking Mr. Eure to look out for Ninety-Mile House. Horses accustomed to bait there would try to stop. I did not want to stop. He nodded assent, and, crouched down beside him, I waited until a brave red warmth shone out across the snow from all the lighted win dows of Spite House. Mr. Eure lash ed his horses, and in a moment more | we had passed into the night again. Presently we crossed the little shaky bridge over Hundred Mile Creek, then swung to the left into Captain Taylor's yard. While Tom, the as In an Arm Chair Beside the Stove, the Old Man Lay. sistant. stabled the team, Mr Eure and Billy got snow shovels from the barn, and hewed out a way to the deep drifted door at the near end of the building. Presently the Chinese serv ant let us in. and I made my way through the barroom and dining-hall to that far door on the right. How changed was the grand old Hundred since days, only five years ago, ol pompous assizes, banquets, dances, when these rooms overflowed with light, warmth, and comfort, now dark, in Arctic cold, in haunted silence! I crept into the captain’s room, where, in an arm-chair beside the stove, the old man lay. I knelt beside him, tak ing his dreadfully swollen hand. ‘'Dear wife,” he muttered, whose wife must have been dead full forty ■ years, ‘‘this hulk is going to be laid up soon, in Rotten Row. Can’t all of us founder in action.” and severely lashed. For a second offense he would endure some more lasting punishment, perhaps the re moval of his thumbs or his ears. And if he still persisted in his stubborn ness he would be hanged. There is a case on record of a poor man—in all probability half demented —who insisted on signing four names every time he wrote his signature to any paper. Of course he passed through all the legal stages of pun ishment until he was finally hanged. What Angered Mother. A group of newspaper men were visiting the Washington park zoo the other day to see the new hippo. The hippo, who has been christened "Rip the Hipp," was stretching lazily in the sun, when a little girl and her mother approached. "Look at the d-n lazy thing,” cried the girl, excitedly raising her hand and pointing at the resting ani mal. "Didn’t I tell you never to point at things," cried the mother angrily, at the same time striking down the little ; girl’s arm. I ran away. But there was much to be done, fires, lights, supper, beds, and the unloading of the sleigh full of hospital comforts, which would set my patient a great deal more at ease. When I left my patient, very late that night, supposing all lucky people to be in bed, I found Mr. Eiire making himself some tea. Gladly I joined him beside the kitchen stove, ever so pleased with its warmth and the tea. for I was weary, past all hope of any sleep. Besides, the poor man was just dying with curiosity as to our journey and his engagement as my en gineer. So. for that one and only time I told the story of Jesse's fate, and mine. Ana then I tried to explain the scheme which needed his services as an engineer. Let's see,” he checked my rambling statement. “Try if I've got all that correct. This Cariboo wagon road runs from Ashcroft to Quesnelle, due north, except at one point where the government wouldn't pay for a bridge across the Hundred Mile gorge. “So at the ninety-five mile post the road swings eastward five miles, pass ing Spite House to the head or the gorge, where it crosses Hundred Mile Creek, right here. "From here the road turns west again on the north side of the gorge, and after one mile on the level, drops cown the Hundred Mile Hill, which is three miles high, and a terror to navigation. "At the bottom the road turns north again for Quesnelle. at a cabin called the One Hundred and Four when; old Pete Mathson lives, a hairy little per son, like a Skye terrier with a faith ful heart. "And said Mathson has blazed a cut off, crossing the foot of the gorge, then climbing by an easy grade to the ninety-five-mile post. The said cut off is five miles long. Made into a wagon road, it would give a better gradient for traffic, save four miles, employ local labor at a season when money is scant, and be an all-round blessing to mankind. At the foot of the gorge we'd locate the new Hun dred Mile House. "Incidentally. Spite House would be side-tracked, left in the hungry woods four miles from nowhere.” "Tell me,” I urged, “what you think.” "My dear madam, when I've made a survey you shall have dates and fig ures for a temporary snow road, a permanent way, and a house.” “It can be done?” "Why, certainly.” "You approve?" "Yes. I see dollars in this, for me." "You think I'm foolish?” “It will be an excellent road ” "Put the result?” "Please don't blame the engineer." "Oh. tell me what you think, as a man.” "Well, let's pretend I'm Polly.” I laughed. "Being Polly, and from my Polly point of view, frankly. I'm pleased. Here are hundreds of new customers, with Madame Scotson's money to spend at Spite House.” "My men will sign an agreement. The man who visits Spite House for feits a bonus for good service, loses all outstanding pay. and leaves my camp that day.” “Is that so? Of course the coaches change horses at Spite House." "When I've bought out the stage company, they'll change horses at the New Hundred.” "And only stop at Spite House for the mails?” "I shall appeal to the postmaster general.” "On the ground that you're running a rival house? Captain Taylor, you say. did that.” "My house shall charge nothing. It shall be free, and the visitors my guests." "Then, in my little Polly way. I'm afraid I'll have to move Spite House down to the new road.” On to my tana: “Your cruelty reduces me to tears. I am a martyr. I appeal to the chival rous public to boycott that new road.” "When I've brought money into the country? Oh. you don’t know this hungry neighborhood!” "Mercy! My client's done for. I’m Madame Scotson’s managing engineer. May I ask a plain question?” “Certainly." “Is there water-power in this gulch?” “There’s a lovely waterfall.” TAKING VOLTAGE OF CURRENT Electricians Experimenting to Deter mine How Far the Spark Can Jump. By measuring how far an electric current can jump through the air from one piece of metal to another electricians can determine the volt age of a current; and it is by setting a current to making broad jumps and then scoring the feat with a tape measure that the very high voltages used nowadays are ordinarily meas ured. But the judges of these ath letic feats have recently determined that the electricity jumps much more surely from some sparks than from others, just as a man is not likely to jump so well from a mud spot as from firm ground. Spark gaps, as these jump measures are called because of the great elec tric spark that jumps across the gap, have been made of needlepoints, says the Saturday Evening Post. Now it has been found that if metal spheres are used, and the electricity made to lump from one to the other, the re "lH look a roue <5 tomorrow." And then came Mr. Erne's conten tion. The assistant, not himself, waa a surveyor. ‘ I'm only & paper-maker. I'm looking for cheap timber, good snow for haulage, water-power to mill the lumber into paper-pulp, and a road to market. I've been traveling some months now in search of that combi nation. and if your lovely waterfall will give me five thousand horse-pow er. I shall have to build your cut-off road for myself, also the house. Then there'll be war against these black pines, your enemies. As to Spite House, it seems hardly the kind of thing for you to deal with. Perhaps you'll leave that to me." CHAPTER iSL Rescue, Jesse’s Letter. Mother in Heaven: Please thank God “tt me and say I'm grateful. Tell neighbor angels how little moth*?"* having sons on earth are badly mussed and grudged by hungering metals. Prayers sent to Heaven an answered, but not *et ters. I reckon no one here could ever write a letter happy enough, so tight with joy that it could fly up there. In the days w hen I thought *his Jes se person was important, 1 used to read the Old Testament, which is full human with pride and arrogance of man. But since I learned that this whole world is only a dream from which we shall awake, the New Testa ment has been my pasturage. Maybe three moons ago, when my ammuni tion had run out, and my neighbor animals had learned all the little secrets cf mv traps and snares, and I wondered what God was going to do about it. Of course I couldn't ques tion about His business, but seeing that likely Ke intended me to leave my little worries behind, I made a good tire in the cabin, lay down in the bunk, arranged my body to be in de cent order in case 1 left it, and took my Bible to pass away the time. 1 suppose I’d dropped off to sleep, when something rough began to hap pen. jolting me back into the world of fuss. A man in buckskin shirt and a bad temper, stamping the snow off I his moccasins, shaking me by the | arm. He was my old friend Iron Dale. a man of the world—which smashed ; him. He seemed to be worried, and that, I of course, was natural to a man like Iron, lusty and eager, with an appe tite for money—whereas poor Polly i had done her best to cure him of his ! dollars. Here was Iron jumping about the - cabin, busy as a chipmunk, with just the same hurried, funny way of blas pheming. He had to make fire, cook soup, and haul things in from out 1 doors, while he told me news about a i team, a sleigh, a load of stores for me, i and his own services paid up sis ] months ahead if I'd let him work on the ranch. He was like a little boy which plays at keeping store, where you've got to pretend to trade, with nary a smile, lest he should see and the whole game turn unreal. So I sat up for soup, which made my loose skin fit me again as I filled. I'd an swer to all he did. grave as a con stable. playing the game of life just as I used to. <TO BE CONTINUED.) Too Much Athleticism. “As guardians of the public health, it is time for us to make a stand against this athletic craze." writes a medical correspondent. “The swing ing of ponderous clubs and dumbbells, j rowing heavy machines, pulling up ■ weights, walking 15 or 20 miles a day chasing a golf bali. etc., are needless : and injurious to anyone. As physl j cians. we prescribe moderate exercise j for lymphatic and obese patients of torpid temperament, and a few indi ■ cated movements to straighten up a ! deflected spine or round shoulders, : etc., but we are careful to guard against fatigue. Such exercise is a j very different thing from the severe ! and senseless efforts required by i teachers in gymnastics and exerc:se 1 fiends. If people wouia uve long ana healthy,” says the correspondent, ‘‘they should take their exercise under the advice of a common-sense physi cian. The -wrenching of muscles, tea dons. ligaments, joints, nerves and | bloodvessels," he proceeds, "is giving i us all kinds of puzzling conditions. : traumatic neuroses, dislocated vis cera. etc., traceable to overexercise, if j we only knew where to look for it.” ; Don’t Miss This. If a woman has one daughter, who I goes away, the Mrs. misses the Miss : ! and the Miss misses the Mrs. If it is two daughters and both are away the Mrs. misses the Misses and Misses miss the Mrs. If she has three daugh ters and two are at one place and one at another, the Mrs misses the Misses and the Miss misses the Mrs. and the Miss misse:. the Mrs. and the Misses. If she has four daughters and two are at one place while the other two are away from home, and separate, the Mrs. misses the Miss and the Misses and the Miss, the Miss and the Misses miss the Mrs. and the Miss misses the Miss and the Misses and the Mrs.—La dies’ Home Journal. I suit is more accurate: and sphere spark gaps are replacing the needle point jumps. Even with spheres to jump from the athletic electricity is not entirely satisfied unless each sphere is as big in dameter as the jump the current expected to make. With such spheres the spark of a current of 500.000 volt age will break down when the spheres are a little more than 15 inches apart. How Dolls Were Named. Dorothy was once one of the most popular names in England. Indeed, it is a pcpular name there today. But once before, several hundreds of years ago. it enjoyed great popularity. Many of its diminutives and abbrevia tions, among them Dolly and Doll, were quite as popular as the unab breviated form. The most beloved toy of the small girl originally went by the name of puppet But in the time when Dorothy and Dolly wm the most usual names is England the puppet a child's most usual toy, was called a dolly. Such is the deriva tion of the name of tha const less dolls of today. Good Bowels Are An Aid to Growth Grouping Children Need a Mild Laxative to Foster Regular Bowel Movement. As a child grows older it requires more and more personal attention from the mother, and as the func tions of the bowels are of the utmost importance to health, great attention should be paid to them. Diet is of great importance, and the mother should watch the effect of cer tain foods. A food will constipate one and not another, and so we have a healthy food like eggs causing bilious ness to thousands, and a wholesome fruit like bananas constipating many. It is also to be considered that the child is growing, and great changes are taking place in the young man or young woman. The system has not yet settled itself to its later routine. A very valuable remedy at this stage, and one which every growing boy and girl should be giver often or * occasionally, according to the individ ual circumstances, is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This is a laxative and tonic combined, so mild that It is given to little babies, and yet equally effective in the most robust constitu tion. At the first sign of a tendency to constipation give a small dose of Syrup Pepsin at night on retiring, and prompt action will follow in the morn ing. It not only acts on the stomach and bowels but its tonic properties build up and strengthen the system generally, which is an opinion shared by Mr. John Dev of Bloomfield. N. J. He has a large family and at ages where the growth and development JOHN JUST COULDN'T MARRY Had a Peculiar Reason. But After All It Is Always a Good Thing to Look Ahead. Governor-elect S.uart of Virginia, who was at the Raleigh, has traveled in every nook and corner of the Old Dominion, and he knows thousands of voters well enough to call them by their first names, says the Washing ton Post. The governor was down in one of the southern counties not long ago. He has a lot of friends in that section, and one of his particular hob bies is the promotion of the social welfare of the negroes. A prosperous looking darkey ventured to shake hands with the governor-elect, where upon Governor Stuart rema'ked: “John, I hope yon are well and that the members of your family are all well.” ' e. very body a veil, returned the darkey, "only Ah hasn't got no fam biv." "Why. aren't you married? ' inquired Governor-elect Stuart. "No, Ah isn’t married,'’ replied John. “Well, you ought to get married." advised the governor. “Every man ought to be married. It is best for one's moral and spiritual welfare and his material happiness." “It's this away,” said John. “Ah'd lak pow'ful well to git married, but Ah ain't got money 'nuff to git a di vorce. It costs some of da 'niggers’ down heah as mugh as $30 to git un hitched. Why, some of dese lawyers makes a good living gittin divorces for us niggers." GAS, DYSPEPSIA AND INDIGESTION “Pape’s Diapepsin" settles sour, gassy stomachs in five minutes—Time It! You don't want a slow remedy when your stomach is bad—or an uncertain one—or a harmful one—your stomach is too valuable; you mustn't injure it. Pape's Diapepsin is noted for its speed in giving relief; its harmless 3pss; its certain unfailing action in regulating sick, sour, gassy stomachs. Its millions of cures in indigestion, dyspepsia, gastritis and other stomach trouble has made it famous the world over. Keep this perfect stomach doctor in your home—keep it handy—get a large fifty-cent case from any dealer and then if anyone should eat something t which doesn't agree with them; if what they eat lays like lead, ferments ■ and sours and forms gas; causes head ache. dizziness and nausea; eructa- ! tions of acid and undigested food— remember as soon as Pape's Diapepsin comes in contact with the stomach all such distress vanishes. Its prompt- j ness, certainty and ease in overcoming the worst stomach disorders is a reve lation to those who try it.—Adv. In Chicago. Mrs. Wabash—I see eggs laid by a i New Zealand lizard require 14 months ! to hatch. Mrs. Dearborn—The idea! We ought to boycott those eggs, too! MARIE DEY must be watched. Little Marie has thrived especially well on Dr Cald well’s Syrup Pepsin. Mr. Dey consid ers it the right laxative for young and ! old and has found none better for I young children. The use of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pep sin will teach you to avoid cathartics, salts and pills, as they are too harsh for the majority and their effect U only temporary. Syrup Pepsin brings permanent results, and it can be con veniently obtained of any nearby drug gist at fifty cents and one dollar a bot tle. Results are always guaranteed or money will be refunded.

Not One Alike. Our neighbor's wife reports this conversation with the young man who comes to take the grocery orders: "Step in and get warm—you look half frozen.” "Thank you, ma'am. It's queer weather we're getting.” "Yes. it's so changeable." "That's the word, ma’am. We don't get a single day alike, do we?”—Cleve land Plain Dealer. ECZEMA IN WATER BUSTERS 74S Congress St., Chicago, HI.—"My eczema broke out like little water blisters. Each one was full of water and would itch until I would scratch it open, then the water would run out and It would get sore. I first got the eczema on the back of the hand and I scratched it so hard I made it all sore. Then I got it on my legs just above the ankle and above the knee. “I used what they call-and it stopped the itch but it got worse. Then I used -. In all I had the trouble for about two years. One day I saw the advertisement of Cuticura Soap and Ointment in the paper. I wrote for a sample of Cuticura Soap and Ointment and I tried them and then bought some more.
