THIS STAKTS THE STOKY Klcda Druse, daughter of Gabriel Druse, shoots in n canoe the wild Carillon Kapids on the Sagalac river, where it flows between the towns of Manltou and Lebanon in the Cana dian northwest. She is on the verge of losing her life in tne whirlpools below when she is rescued by Max Ingolby, n financier, contractor and manager of great interests, who has come to Lebanon to amalgamate the railroads, unite the two towns ami make them the center of couimerrc in the western north. On shore she is insulted by Felix Mart-hand, son of Hector Marehand. capitalist of Mani tolt. Ingolby attacks Marehand. who vows revenge. Then arrives .tctliro Fnwc, who claims that he and Klcda were married when children, accord -.,,- in the cviisv custom. Kleda re- Wis him and he is assaulted bj her father.

He shrugged a shoulder. "Oh. if any fool said it, it would be the same." ho answered. "That's n fire easily lighted, though it sometimes burns long nnd hard." lie frowned nnd lighting look came into his face. "Then vou know all that is working against yo'u in Manitou working hard er than ever before?" "I think I do, but T probably don t know all. Have you any special news about it?" "Felix Marehand is spending money nmnmr the men. They are going on f-il-n vnnr rnilu-ars nnd in the mills." "What mills in Manltou?" he asked abruptv. I "In "both towns." ' He laughed harshly.

"I've heard, though, that monseigneur is trying to stop the trou ble. But " She paused. "Yes but?" he asked. "What were you going to say?" "Rut there are many roughs in Mani tou, and Felix Marehand makes friends with them. 1 don't think the priests will be able to help much in the end, and if it is to be Manitou against Leb anon, you can't expect a great deal." "I never expect more than I get generally less." he answered grimly; and he moved the gun about on his knees restlessly, fingering the lock and the trigger softly. "I am sure Felix Marehand means you harm," she persisted. "Personal ha'.m?" "Yes." He laughed sarcastically again. "We arc not in Bulgaria or Sicily," he re- Pgj' jotneu, ins jaw Hardening; and I can m take care of myself. What makes you Bay he means personal harm? Have you heard anything?" "No, nothing, but I feel it is so. That day at the Hospital Fete he looked at you in a way that told me. 1 think such instincts are given to some people and some races. You read books I read people. I wanted to warn you, and I do so. This bns been lucky in a way, this meeting. I'lease don't treat what I've said lightly. Your plans nre in danger and you also." Was the psychic and fortune-telling Instinct of the IJomany alive in her and working involuntarily, doing that faith fully which her people did so faith lessly? The darkness which comes from intense feeling had gathered underneath her eyes, and gave them n look of pen siveness not in keeping with the glow of her perfect health, the velvet of her 'cheek. "Would you mind telling me where you got your information?" he asked presently.

HERE'S SOME GRASSHOPPERS Feathered Tribe Prefer Their "Tobacco-Juice"" Are jou n suburbanite and do you have a neighbor nnd does he have chick ens and would you like to keep them on their own side of the fence? Here's a tactful way to go-about it, a met hod worthy of diplomacy. So subtle, and jet so satisfactory. It all springs from n suggestion made by the V. S. Department of Agriculture. You have noticed, doubtless, how the boulevard variety of chicken suffers in slackened speed from having to do the skipstop walk. Did it ever occur to you thnt the feathered sort would never be able to fly so high if you could only give them a little of that St. Vitus gait? But how's it to be done? Xo barnyard fowl is foolish enough to wear a tight skirt, no matter how hard jou might try to persuade it. And there isn't much chance, to inject any virus into your neighbor's pullets with the notion of giving them nervous uilnients. Feed 'Em Grasshoppers , Here's n way: Feed the chickens grasshoppers Your catcher is built in the form of a drug, and you don't have to stick to the dimensions given.

The man ager wasn't anxious to lose such n freak as Judge Owl, so nt his order the at tendants brought in n large tub of meat. "Supper 1 Ah! Ah!" screamed the animals. "More supper! Hoo, hoo! Yum! Yum!" hooted Judge Owl, darting fiercely nt the tub and getting ready to dip into it. Rut he didn't dip, be cause when lie opened his beak nnd bent over Peggy rnppcd him smartly with a stick she had picked up. "Get out of that, you selfish bird!' she cried. "These poor animals are hungry." . "So nm I," hooted Judge Owl. "And you look sweet enough to cat. I won- der how jou'd taste." He looked so greedily at Peggy that she grew nerv ous. But she stnrcd him right in the eje, nnd in a moment Judge Owl was grinning broadly and hopping back ,to his platform. "Just as you say, Princess Toggy." he hooted. "You are the boss of Bird land." At once the trainers began to feed tin meat to the animals, and all seemed i peaceful and happy in the menagerie l tent, but Peggy heard a message thnt the tiger snarled toward Major, the' J giant elcphrint. "The biggest bird in the world Is afraid of a little child. And yet the lord of the menngerie is afraid of the t bird. Are you going to let this stranger rule the beasts in your stead, Lord Kle phnnt?" "Xo." trumpeted the elephant. "I am lord of the menngerie, and with my herd I'll drive out this intruder!"

She also was about forty years old. There the resemblance to her partner ceased, for she was plump, rosy-cheeked nnd laughed happily on the least provoca tion. When she laughed a big dimple came to her cheek, nnd I caught my self watching for it when she laughed. Her hair was brown of varying hues, nnd it was dressed low ou her fore head. She wns dressed in brown and looked well. She looked as if she must he single from choice rnther than ne cessity.
