unmolested now by either animals
or men.
She said nothing to her brother
of the occurrence, fearing that he
NO nd blame her for exhibiting her
&C somplishment even to the brutes
of the forest.
Business was not to begin in real
earnest in the pineries until Decem-
Der, but Harvey one day put his
axe over his shonlder. telling Hes
ter that he was aboHt to fell giant
hemlock which she herself had vis-
tied, aud which was about two miles
from their cottage.
Il shall be back at noon,' were his
parting words.
But when the little clock on the
shelf struck twelve he was not there,
nor at one, nor at two, nor at three.
and then Hester decided to go and
look for him herself.
She found him at the foot of a
tree, about a mile from their cottage.
whittier he had dragged himself.
lie had cut his foot badly and had
been obliged to sit down on account
OF weakness caused by loss of blood.
1t is fortunate thing for me
that you came, he said. you must
go back at once and get men to
carry me home
She hastencd to the lumbermen' s
cabins, but the men were away, and
it was nearly dark before she could
return to Harvey with two stout
bearers and one of the lumbermen's S
wives.
Just as they stepped into the
opening the darkness seemed to fall
over them like a mantle, and from
far off in the woods came a long.
low howl of hunger and despair.
'Wolv9s' said one of the men.
we must hurry
They turned the light of their
lanterns upon the moss where Har-
vey Bond had lain when Hester left
him. He was not there, but his
torn garments and the few blood
stained-stained bones cleaning in
the lantern light told of the fierce
fury of the carnivorous beasts that
had attacked him.
'He sold his life dearly said one
OF the men. See, here is his axe,
with the handle broken, and here,
too, are bones of half dozen wolves
which he must have killed before
they overpowered him.
1t was an awful shock to Hester
Bond. She understood now the
nature of the animals that had
joined her in the forest. But there
was something more. The lumber
mans wife came to her, saying:
See, here is his watch, that |
have just picked up
She took it in her hand. 1t was
the gold watch with the diamond in
the case which Harvey Bond had
accused Burt Lyon of stealing!
Everything was clear to Hester
now. She made no revelation to
any one, but after her brothers re-
mains were buried she returned to
her Aunt Martha. One day she
showed the watch to her, saying:
See, Aunt Martha, here is the
watch brother Harvey told us Burt
Lyon had stolen
lie found il them cried Aunt
Martha, in great relief.
The older lady, who had been like
ice to Professor Lyon for some time,
welcomed him most heartily when
he called upon Hester, and there
were no more obstacles in the way
of the young couple who had been
SO cruelly parted.
The story in its entirety was not
told until long after Hester was the
happy wife of Prof. Lyon, when
together they reflected upon the
futility of the wickedness of which
Harvey Bond had been guilty when
he was, as he thought, gaining his
end.-Waverly Magazine.

and in short time a large crowd had
gathered on the scenes to save the
business part of the town from des-
truction.
The fire started in the basement Of
Shannon's saloon and spread with
such rapidity that it was impossible,
with the means at command, to save
the building or any of it's contents.

rooms adjoining were also burned

badly damaged and so was potion

Mr., Montgomery, the owner Of the
saloon building, is protected by insur-

hundred dollars on his stock.
It was extremely fortunate thai the
fire did not spread beyond the build
in which it originated, otherwise the
entire Front Row would have burned,
