Man Threatened with Starvation by His
Dissenting Practitioners.
A remarkable boycott has been be-
gun on the island OF st. Kilda, on the
coast Of Scotland, against the Rev. Mr..
Fiddes. II is a forcible expression OF
the opposition Of his parishioners to
the religious views Of the minister
who now is threatened with starvation
by reason Of the refusal Of the island
ers to help him transport his winter
supply OF provisions.
Mr. F.Sdes, who was a minister Of
the Free Church Of Scotland, Joined the
majority Of the General Assembly in
forming the United Free Church along
with the United Presbyterians. The
Highland congregations Of the Free
Church refused TO join the new body.
The people Of st. Kilda have taken a
similar stand. and bitterly resent the
attitude adopted by Mr. Fiddes.
The steamer Hebrides called at St.
Kilda on Thursday with stores. The
islanders took away their own goods,
but stubbornly refused TO take their
minister's stock OF coal and provisions
ashore in the ferry. Consequently they
had to oe kept on the vessel
Mr.. Fiddes sent a message to the cap
tain stating that he would have men
and boats waiting to take the goods
OH on the vessels arrival at Obbe, but
when the steamer reached there no one
appeared. and the goods could not be
landed
As this was the last trip Of the YES.
sci this season, Mr.. Fiddes is in danger
of being left without his usual supplies
for nine months.
It is stated In Glasgow that the
United Free Church viii not allow
their representative to remain in this
awkward predicament, and that a re

In The Forest.
BY LOUIS +. WEADoCK.

Phil Paquette. woodsman, never
loved any girl until he saw Annette,
the brown-eyed daughter Of the boss
Of the Michigan lumber camp in which
he and a hundred others worked all
winter.
He came upon her In clearing one
day where she was spreading a feast
Of grain before a flock Of birds. with
her was Hammond, the only man IN
the world that raquette had time
enough to hate.
Hammond was tall and fair and per-
fectly familiar with the English lam
guage. Phil was big with broad
shoulders and clear eyes, and to the
strong mans contempt Of the weak ne
added the hate Of a man who thinks
he should have the something that
another has.
So he stood with folded arms and
watched the girls snugly fitting jacket
brush close to Hammond's arm and
saw her laugh into Hammond's face,
and he vowed that he would save the
girl from Hammond. Paquette had
let into his wild brain the idea that the
girl was as far above the assistant boss
Of the camp as the stars are above the
Saginaw river. by whose banks he and
the rest labored So he watched Ham
mond,
He saw that the girl talked to him
often and carelessly he listened once
or twice. The talk was about books
OF which he had heard but dimly, and
OF plays Of which until then he had
never heard at all One day he said
to Annette's father:
"rll want to go to town today"
He wanted to tell him his errand,
but refrained.
In his pocket he had the savings OF
the winter, and he meant to spend it in
books that he. too. might read and be
worthy Of talking to the boss daugh-
ter But he had never bought books
before and he had often bought whis-
XIV. So to get courage enough to go
into a shop and ask for a book he spent
some Of his money for drink Then he
postponed buying the books for an
hour or two and drank more.
He went into a gambling place that

I am" he said to himself bitterly, she

looked to see II Hammond was about.
As he expected. Hammond was in town
also. He flung the book into the snow
and it lay there al hour before he
went for it.
Every night after that he read the
book OF asked the men who knew Eng.

at Annette and saw that the air Of the
pine forests was making her more
beautiful and that Hammond clung
closer to her than ever.
One night when the stars were
brighter than usual he lay out near the
river bank and hugged himself for Joy.
He had learned the meaning Of every
word in that book Of essays. He could
pronounce most Of them and there
were a great many he could spell IN

Annette was closer to him than she
