4 BIG TIMBER By BERTRAND W. SINCLAIR Copyright, 1916, kjr Little, Brown 6 Co, SYNOPSIS Estella Benton, left a penniless orphan, goes to join her brother Charlie, who is logging lumber in j British Columbia. Amtinucd Sne affirmed this, and ho took her baggage, likewise her trunk ! check when she asked how that ar- j ticle would be transported to the j lake. She had some idea of route and means from her brother's writ ben intstruetion, but she thought he might have been here to meet her. At j least he would be at the Springs. ' So she was whirled along a coun- i try road. Jolted in the tonneau be- ' tween a fat man from Calgary and a rheumatic dame on her way to take hot sulpnur baths at Sit. All woods. She passed seedy farm-| houses, primitive in construction, ' and big bams with moss plentifully j clinging on roof and gable. The \ stretch of charred stumps was left I far behind, but in every Held of i grain and vegetable and root great j butts of tir and cedar rose amid the j crops. Her first indefinitely agree- I able impression of this land, which J so far as she knew must be her home, was of those huge and num erous stumps contending with crops fo 1 possession f the fields. At first she had been overw>wered with a sense of insignificance utter ly foreign to her previous experi ence, but now she discovered with an agreeable sensation of surprise she ' could vibrate to such a keynote. And i tvhile she communed with this pleas- i •ont discovery the car sped down a | straight stretch and around a cor-1 ner and stopped short to unload | sacks of mail at a weather-beaten yellow edifice, its windows displaying indiscriminately Indian baskets, gro- j ceries and hardware. Northward opened a broad scope of lake level, girt abound with tremendous peaks whose lower slopes were banked with-thick forest. Somewhere distant along that lake shore was *o be her home. As the car rolled over the 400 yards between shore and white and ureen St. Allwoods she wondered if Charlie would be there to meet her. She was weary of seeing strange faces, [ of being directed, of being hustled about. But he was not there, and she re- i called that he never had been notable for punctuality. Five years is a long time. She expected to find him changed for the better, in certain directions. He had promised to be there, but in this respect time evidently had wrought no apprecl- j able transformation. She registered, was assigned a room and ate luncheon to the mel- j ancholy accompaniment of a three- ; man orchestra struggling vainly j with Buch in an alcove oit the din- j ing room. After that she began; to make inquiries. Neither clerk nor | manager knew aught of Charlie Ben- ; ton. They were both in their firstj season there. They advised her to ( ask the storekeeper. "MacDougal will know," they j were agreed. "He knows everybody around here and everything that goes on." The storekeeper, a genial, round bodied Scotchman, hau the infor maton desired. "Charlie Benton?" said he. "No; he'll be at his map up the lake. He was in three or four days backs. X mind now he said he'd be down Thursday. That's to-day. But he isn't here yet, or his boat'd be by the wharf yonder." "Are there any passenger boats that call there?" she asked. MacDougal shook his head. "Not reg'lar. There's a gas boat goes t' the head of the lake now an' then. She's away now. Ye might hira a launch. Jack Fyfe's camp tender's about to get under way. But ye wouldna care to on her, I'm thinkin'. She'll be # loaded wi' lumberjacks—every man drunk as a lord, most like. Maybe Benton'll be In before night."

Harlan, a local baker, to dis continue his business, temporarily at least All's Well That Ends Well *r II y JANE M'LBA.X Every night when James Forsyth went to bed he determined to save up for a new suit. He knew that he looked shabby, he was (juite consci ous of the fact that to him that hath shall also be given, but there were io many others to be considered first and so many ways in which he was con stantl) asked to spend his hard-earn ed money that his personal appear ance seemed a thing too trivial for consideration. That is. it did when duty crowded the truth out of his mind. At other times, James Forsyth knew quite well that he looked a cen tury old and a decade behind the time. His appearance used to bother him after he had gone to bed at night. And if perchance a tiny thought in veigled itself into his brain, he would try to invent impossible ways to make extra money, and when sleep finally pressed heavily, he would console him self by thinking that there was no use of worrying about a thing that could not be helped, and then he would drop asleep ana forget his troubles for a time. ♦ Forsyth made a fair salary, but he was one of the downtrodden men who succumb easily to infiuence. His wife took only what she considered her due to run the house and clothe herself and the children. The amount left over certainy would not go very far In giving Forsyth a decent wardrobe. Certainly he might have asserted him self. but he did not, and In conse quence he wore his old clothes and looked shabby. When he married there had been those who had remarked upon the fact that he was a fine looking man. He had obtained his position with Graves and Ellery at that time, and people had also said that he had a bright fu ture. But Mr. Graves. ,\vho had given Forsyth the place, had,been heard to remark frequently when Forsyth passed through the office: "My, how that man has aged. Why, be is a young man, but he doesn't care anything about keeping up a neat appearance: he looks like an old man already. We can't allow him to make; any sales for us. we'll have to put some younger man in who can make a snappy appearance." Of course, Forsyth did not know what was passing in his employer's" mind, hut his thoughts still lingered upon his coveted new suit, and he still determined periodically to actu ally get it. Once he had saved tip secretly to make his purchase. He intended to go downtown and buy his clothes and surprise everyone, and Just as he had enough or nearly enough, Ruth, the baby, came down with typhoid fever. Every cent available had gone into doctor's bills and medicines, and his wife, surprised at the influx of extra money, had bitterly accused him of a secret fund that she knew noth ing about. "Of course, your money is your own," she had sobbed, "but it seems strange that you would want to keep i It away from me." ' Either his wife did not notice or schooled herself not to notice his ap ! pearance, and her accusation hit For t-'yth hard. He resolved then and there that he did not need the new things anyway.

And of course he was all wrong, and he vaguely knew It. He went through a period then when he had convinced himself that he was greatly exaggerating mat ters anyway. Perhaps It was his own imagination, and -no one noticed his clothes but himself. And just as he had himself nicely deluded and the load was lifting a little from his mind, he overheard a remark that hurt him cruelly. "Isn't old man Forsyth a guy," one of the office boys had Jerred. "L*)oks for all the world like l a vaudeville comedian." Anda then Forsyth knew that other people did not notice that his appear ance was really bad. Then he enlisted. Which fact was made possible only through the gen erosity of his firm. The day he came home In his uniform he felt like a hero. Unconsciously his body had re sponded to feel of new clothes and the self-respect of decent rai ment. "Gee, pop," his small son had said delightedly, "you look great in those things. Wish I was big and could wear "em." "Dear," his wife had breathed soft ly ,and her eyes were tender, "you loelcllke you did when I married you. You should have had a neA- suit long frgo." * When he walked down the street, r \ Uncle Sam's Thrift Thought For Today Meat Turnovers Chop the meat.
