boeuf shall lead a better life!''
The storm, baffied passed on. The rain.
unsatisfied, sulleny ceased In its attack. The
waves, hopeless but still vindictive, began
to call back their legions from the narrow
shore. The lightnings, unsated in their
wrath, 1ared and fiickered on and out
across the eastward sea. With wild laugh
ter and shrieks and imprecations, the spirit
of the tempest walled on Its furious way.
The red west had raised its hand to smite,
but 1t had not smitten sure
In the silence of the night, in the hush fol-
lowing the uproar of the storm there came
little wailing cry; SO faint so feeble, yet
so mighty, SO conquering. this sign of the
coming generation, the voice of the new
born babe. At this little human voice-born
of sorrow and sin, born to suffering and to
knowledge, born to life in all its wonders
and to death in all It's mystery-the ele-
ments perchance reented and averted their
fury. Not yet was there to be punished
sin, or wrong, or doubt, weakness. Not
at once would justice punish the parents Of
this babe and blot out at once the record of
their fault. Storm and lightning. darkness
and the night yielded to the voice of the
infant and allowed the old story of human
ity and sin, and hope and mercy, to run on.
The babe walled family in the silence of
the night Under the hearth-log there still
endured the fire And then the red west,
seeing itself conquered, smiled and flung
wide its arms, and greeted them with the
burgeoning dawn, and the voices of birds,
with sky blue and repentant a sun smil-
ing and not unkind.

CHAPTER III.
Au Large.

1t was weeks after the night of the great
storm. and the camp of the voyagers still
held its place on the shore Of the great
Green bay. The wild game and the abund-
ant fishes OF the lake gave ample provender
for the party, and the little bivouac had been
rendered more comfortable in many ways
best known to those jewellers Of the forest
The light, Jest. the burst Of laughter the
careless ease of attitude showed the light
hearted voyagers content with this. their
last abode, nor for the time did any word
issue which threatened to end their larry
ing.
Law one morning strolled out from the
lodge and seated himself on bit Of drift
wood at the edge of the forests fringe of
cedars. where, seemingly half forgetting
himself In the witchery Of the scene. he
gaZed out idly over the wide prospect which
lay before him. He was the same young
ness was but the result of long hours at the
paddle the hollow cheeks but betokened
hard fare and the defining winds of the out
door air. If the eye were a trace more
dim, that could be due but to the reflective
ness induced by the quiet scene and hour.
Yet why should John Law, young and re-
freshed, drop chin In hand and sit there
moodily looking ahead of him, compre-
hending not at all that which he beheld?
Indeed, there appeared now to the eye of
this young man not the white shores and
black crowned bluffs and distant islands,
not the sweep of broad-winged birds circIing
near the waters, nor the shadows of the
high-poised eagle drifting far above He
felt not the soft wind upon his cheek, nor
noted the warmth Of the on-coming sun.

mon among the Indians. In his hand
he supported a long-barreled musket, which
he now examined carefully in the presence
of the captain of the voyageurs.
Robert Chalon" next commanded Du
Mesne and in turn the one addressed looked
over his piece, the captain also scrutlniZing
the flint and printing with careful eye.
Naturally, mes enfants," said he, your
weapons are perfect, as ever Kataikini,
and you, kabayan, my brothers, let me
see.'' said he to the two Indians, the for
mer a Huron and the latter dn OjibWay
both from the shores of Superior. The In
dams arose silently and without protest
submitted to the scrutiny which ever SEEM
ed to them unnecessary.
Jean Breboeufn' called Du Mesne; and
in response there arose from the shadows
wiry little Frenchman, who might have
been Of any age from twenty to forty-five.
80 sunburnt and wrinkled, yet so active
and vigorous did he seem.
Mon ami said Du Mesne to him, child
ingly. see now here is your flint all but
out of its engagement. Pray you, have bet
ter care OF your piece. For this you shall
stand the long watch Of the night. And
now let us all to bed
One by one the little party was lost to
view within the dark interior of the hut
which they had arranged for themselves.
Du Mesne retired distance from the fire
and seated himself upon a fallen log, his
pipe glowing like coal in the enveloping
darkness.
Law himself did not so soon leave the
outer air. He remained gazing out at the
wild scene about him, at the rolling waves
dashing on the shore, their crests whitening
in the glare of the lightning, now approach
ing more closely. He hearkened to the roll
of the far-off thunder, reinforced by the
thunder Of the waves upon the shore. and
noted the sweep of the black forest about of
the black sky overhead. unlit save for one
far-off, faint and feeble star.
1t was new world, this that lay around
him. a new and savage world. If there were
a world behind him, world which once
held sunlight and flowers, and love and hope
why, then, 1t was a world lost and gone
forever, and 1t was very we'll that this new
world should be SO different and stern.
In the darkness John Law heard a voice,
the voice of a woman In terror Swiftly he
stepped to the door of the rude lodge.
Don't let them sing it again-never any
more-that song"
And what, madam"
That one-'Tous les amants changent des
mattresses
A moment later she whispered. II am
afraid"

LIVES WITH HEART SEWED UP.
Woman Will Recover if Complications
Do Not Arise

The New York Tribune of today says:
The operation of sewing up a stab wound
in the heart, performed upon Mrs. Annie
Kingsley at Bellevue Hospital Monday
night, is considered by physicians a re-
markable feat. 1t was said at the hospital
yesterday that she was doing well, and that
unless complications arose within couple
of days she would live. An interview with
her husband, in which she identified him as
the man who stabbed her, exhausted her
considerably.
While she was under the influence Of
ether Prof. George F. Stewart, assisted by
DR.. Cash of the hospital staff, widened the
incision in Mrs. Kingseys breast until the
upper part of the heart was exposed. Then,
organs action, Prof. Stewart put six
stitches in the wound. Almost all of the
physicians of the staff saw the operation,
which, though so delicate, only took fifteen
minutes to perform.
In her ante-mortem statement to Coroner
Goldenkranz. after the operation, Mrs.
Kingsley said she met her husband John,
of No. 1913 East 23d street, from whom she
had separated. at Sd avenue and 23d street.
He became angry because she would not
return to him and stabbed her with a pen
knife. He was ahested and arraigned yes
terday in the Yorkville police court. Mag
istrate Pool sent him to the hospital.
When Mrs. Kingsley identified him he
broke down.

ed you right. l was drunk and crazy. For
Gods sake, forgive met!

A NEED OF OFFICERS
STATEMENT OF PAYMASTER
GENERAL OF THE NAVY.
Operations of the Bureau of Supplies
and ACCOMPLISHMENT for
Fireproof Storehouses.

Paymaster General Kenny, chief of the
naval bureau of supplies and accounts,
shows that the operations Of the bureau
during the past fiscal year involved eX-
penditures of s73,501 055, and that there
was balance of appropriation of s66. $50
on hand at the close of the year.
Through the constantly growing de-
mands of the service says the paymaster
general there is an increasing strain upon
the number allowed to the corps by law.
Serious embarrassment is felt in finding
pay officers for ships in commission and
for duty at the various naval stations. At
this time of writing of the 1877 allowed by
law 10 are on sea duty, sc are on shore
duty, settling accounts or changing sta
tons 4 are unavailable for duty through
sickness or other cogent reasons and there
are vacancies. Much difficulty is felt in
making the necessary reliefs of officers
whose terms of duty at sea have expired,
and ii is impossible under existing condi-
tons to grant the leave of absence that Is
customary upon officers return from
cruise. At this time there is not an officer
off duty and available for sudden call.
such as may happen al any time through
an unexpected casualty.
The only available relief from this state
of affairs has been through ordering
tired officers to shore duty. and this has
been done so far as practicable. nine of
them being now in charge of offices ordi-
narily assigned to officers on the active list.
The condition here pointed out can have
but one remedy-an increase of the corps"
Naval Storehouses.
In regard to naval storehouses Paymaster
General Kenny says:
The increased demand on the resources
of this bureau renders an enlargement of
the storage plants at the navy yards, Bos-
ton, Washington, Norfolk, Mare Island and
Puget sound, imperative. These facilities
are inadequate for the NEEDS of the service,
and unless relief in this respect is afforded
at an early date the efficiency of the navy
as whole must suffer.
AT Norfolk, Washington and Boston the
buildings of an obsolete type, in which
modern Storehouse appliances cannot be
placed to advantage, and, because of the
inf1ammable nature of the material used in
their construction, are extremely liable to
destruction by fire. At Puget sound the
StorehOuSe is a small two-story non fire
proof building, with capacity much below
present requirements, and with the rapid
development of this yard it is already made
Quate as a general storehouse. AS there Is
no other building that can be utilized for
the housing of supplies the situation is a
cause for anxiety"
