just above the point which protrudes
sufficiently far into the river to break
the view Of the Upper Yellowbanks, now
for some years known as New Boston,
from the gaze OF people standing upon
the wharf at Keithsburg. New Boston,
by the way, is of some importance his
torically from the fact that the town
site was surveyed and the town laid out
by Abraham Lincoln.
Horse island is not vastly different
geographically from numerous other
islands of the river. 1t is in its sole in
habitant that lies the interest Of the
place, and, In fact, the name Of the one
is suggestive in these parts Of the other.
Uncle Jock Edgington has for many
land and Is known far up and down the
river as the mayor OF Horse island. As
there is no municipal strife within the
borders of this little realm Uncle Jock
seems in no way likely TO have the hon
ors wrested from him by ~disgruntled cit
liens. His bird dog Shot and the one
horse with which he plows his garden or
In winter banks his wood evince no dis
content at the easy going administra-
ton.
This wooded island is rich In all that
goes to make up an ideal home for a man
for whom civilization has few charms. The
lakes and little streams are abundantly
supplied with Ash, r%accoons grow fat upon
the mast, and bee trees are fruitful here.
Uncle Jock is proud Of his accomplish
experience have taught him how best 10
secure the honey.
His island home is the rendezvous. I'm the
milder months, for excursion parties from
the near by town, for although Uncle Jock
leads a sequestered life he has no disagree
able traits Hospitality at his cabin Is
ever extended 10 those whom he deems
PEELED TO exist In town, and his board Is
generously supplied with all that is attain
able in any mart-vegetabies grown upon
the rich soil OF the island and prepared by
his own skillful hands. Picturesque In his
habiliments, in his attitude and in his
speech, he Is the personihcation of a
nscromancer; caring not for the future
himself. he fortells the destiny OF those
who go TO him with proper faith and a sill.

the camp of the rustlers, was disarmed
and sent back TO town with word to the
authorities that the thieves would never
be taken alive. Sheriff Owen at once
proposed going after them. and took
five men with him. thinking the out
avs would be overawed by the num-
bers and lay down their arms without a
struggle. In this he was mistaken. for
they got behind a bank and began fir

fire and I'VE thieves were killed, as al
