tributaries, which are now equipped with
a feet Of more than 1000 grain barges,
each having a capacity Of 600 tons These

me several times that something of the

AN ACCURATE DESCRIPTION.
1t Was Made by a Trunk Owner to
Satisfy a Curious Customs
Official.

Here 10 story that the ladies should
appreciate. A young married woman
who has many acquaintances in Cleve-
land took little trip in company
with hubby up to Montreal and back
not long ago. When they reached that
sustling city they were approached by
a respectable looking individual, who
offered for modest consideration to
convey their trunk to the hotel. Never
dreaming that confidence man might
be hidden beneath such a simple ex-
terror, the husband closed the bar
gain and the couple wended their way
to the hotel, says the Cleveland Post
Dispatch.
There they waited and waited for
the trunk, which never came. Finally,
the husband proceeded to the railway
station and stated his trouble. The
officials were sorry, but they could do
nothing. Just about that time his eye
caught sight Of the missing baggage.
He told the railway men so. They
were very sorry again, but the claim
ant would have to identify the prop
cry Ill ShtlISIN SdtlsldS-
tory to the officials. The claimant re-
marked that he had the key in his
pocket. Wasn't that proof enough?
The officials shook their heads. There
were keys and keys. A key didn't sig
nifty much. What was in the trunk?
The husband asked them to wait
moment while he sent a messenger
for his wife. She would know the con-
tents to the uttermost piece.
The lady soon appeared and the hus-
band stated the case to her and tossed
the key to the waiting officials.
'1Tell these gentlemen what is in our
trunk, my DEAR" he said.
"In our trunk?" she echoed.
Eyes, my dear. You can tell just
exactly what's in 1t because you
packed it,"
"Of course I can," she cried. LET
me see. Why, there's-there's," her
face frightened, there's my best
hat!"
And even the sober Canadians
cracked frosty smile at this remark

MIL went with tnem TO cScort tnem -
the inn. Soon after they had gone, .
student came around with Guilds pa
per. He wanted to remain and hear
the result, but we told him that Prof.
Milford was out and might not be back
till late. He left in state of obvious
perturbation. AS for us, words cannot
describe our anxiety. We talked and
talked, and walked restlessly about the
room and waited; but Milford still
failed to appear. At last we went up
stairs. Though seldom read in bed,
that night I thought I might profit by
. few hours, which would not in any
case be claimed by Morpheus. But
what read made no impression on mo
whatever. My thoughts were on the
game, and Guild, and Milford.
Finally the outer door ratified, and
Mitford's step was heard in the hall
below.
"Mit," shouted Jim, "the papers on
the desk in your study!"
"You mustn't come up till you've
read it," chimed in George from his
room.
"Right!" I added, involuntarily, and
kicked myself immediately afterward
for doing so.
A loud hmm" was his only answer.
as he stalked into his study.
There was silence above and below
for about half an hour. And know
now that Nit spent most Of that time
with his eyes closed and his face in his
hands, in agony. He had read the pa
per, and given liberal credit for all that
was in it, and the figures summed up to
total of exactly As. Should he waive
his scruples and let the man through?
If he did not, what would be his future
in Kensington? He saw the sudden
end of his popularity-the game lost
and his fault The conflict was long
and terrible.
mo, I must do 1t, whatever the con-
sequences" he muttered at last, and
turned to write the fatal number on
the paper. The room seemed suddenly
dark and cold. AS he turned the pages,
suddenly his eye fell on a sheet of pa
per on the floor which he had over
looked. 1t was the answer to another
question-and it was right!
He jumped up like flash. Our ears
had been straining to catch some sound
below. He rushed into the hall and
shouted triumphantly:
Hes passed; he's passed."
"Yea-a," was the yell of three voices
from above, and the agony was over.
Two days later Guild made 40-yard
.'un through the entire Pembroke team
for touchdown, and kicked the goal
himself. And that run gave Kensing-
ton the championship.
