of his coming here occurred to Mar tin-Angie's rights. He had consult ed a legal friend and found that if her father was still alive, David could be made to pay over to him or his child one-half the income of the prop erty since he left. The property could not be sold anyway without Amzi's. signature, and beyond that, Martin held claim on it as we'll More than this, Amzi would doubtless sign any neces- sary papers, and here were four good and reliable witnesses.
 All this came to Martin as he stood watching the one little window light and listening to that old-time dance music.
 And now he advanced cautiously and peeped in at the window.
 A fire burned in the small stove, a queer tin lamp. & sort of can with a handle, was aligLt on the table, old Cy with pipe sat on a stool, and the hermit, squat on his bunk, was still twanging his jews harp. A curi- ous picture of backwoods enjoyment, unique, yet pathetic.
 For a moment only Martin glanced in, then knocked on the door. A come in'' :, followed, and then he en- tered. There was no ceremony; old Cy rose and shook hands with him cor ] dially, but the hermit remained on his bunk smiling.
 Well, I'm back,'' asserted Martin, "and how are you, boys? see you are taking comfort"
 "Oh, we're gittin' on famous" re- sponded old Cy. ''Ain't we, Amzi?" Amzi nodded, still smiling. We've I bin cnOu2in' wood" he said. 'n' Cyrus sharpe1cd the ax on stun, n built a smoke heuse. n we've got lot O nuts fer the squirrels"
 Back to childhood and for good, '' thought Martin; then aloud, That's s right, boys; now is the time to get ready for winter. How are the squir- rels?"
 "Oh, they're asleep now," answered Amzi, eagerly, "I'll feed 'em in the mornin'."

HOME BUILDING IN THE WILDER
 NESS.
 When Martin, aided by his guides, had made their own camp ready for the night and supper was disposed of, he started for the hermit's hut. He had learned from Jean that all was well with Amzi and old Cy, and now a call on them was in order.
 The October new moon was bright in the western sky, the evening air cool and crisp, the leaves falling from the birches rustled beneath his feet, and as he came in sight of the hut, a cheery light gleamed from its one small window, He halted moment ct the gate, for out from this rude home came the sound of music once more. It was not a sad refrain now, but that cheerful old-tine dance tune, The Irish Washerwoman,' and as Martin paused to listen moment, it carried him back to his boyhood when ne had cut pigeon wings to its lively measures, and then clasped Angie's supple waist when Balance and ewing" echoed from the bare brown leafters
 And now 800 miles away from those old associations, he was listening to it once again, twanged by her father on as ws'-harp!
 It bore the same joyous mood as of yore, and, more than. that, assured him that this strange reclnse and old Cy were now quite, content and happy. And why shouldn't they be and con- tfnue thus here? And what was to be gained by insisting upon changing con- ditions and almost dragging this poor old man back to Greenvale and to sur roundings long since forgotten? It was but the same conclusion that had first come to him when, he left here with the officers, now returning with convincing force. And what harm could follow? Ami was content-the ties of his manhood were severed, earlier feelings dead and buried, he and old Cy, two fossils as 1t were, were happy together and could be of mu- fuaI help and comfort. They were, or could be properly provided for during winter; old Cy. absolutely without ties in Greenvale, woRd be glad to remain here, and why not?

CINCINNATI, Feb. 2.-Referr1ng
TO a New York dispatch that Klaw &
F,rlanger and stair & Havlin had
agreed not to conflict with each other
in theatrical business, the Tlmes-Star
says to-day it gives no adequate loea
of the meaning of the agreement. Ihe
fact is. says the Times-Star, that the
entire popular priced field of the Unit
ed States is turned over TO STAIR &
HavIin. This firm in turn aoandohs
the higher class theatrical field ex-
cept the Majestic Theater in New

pendent players entirely. ass neither

BORNEO ISLES
NOT DESIRED
General. Wood Gives British
Official Assurance of the At
titude of the United States
POSSESSIONS WORTHLESS
Flag Is Raised on a Few
Groups That Sultan of Jolo
Might Not Dispose of Them

LONDON, Feb. ERNEST w. Birch,
Governor of British North Borneo, who
has arrived here, says General Leonard
Wood, while recently at Sandakan,
capital Of North Borneo, informed him
that The question of the ownership of
the islands off the coast of Borneo,
over which a United States war vessel
had hoisted the American flag, would
lie amicably settled, as there was no
desire on the part of the Amer
leans to keep them.
0 WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Investiga-
tion here shows that General Wood was
fully authorized to make the statement
attributed to him relative to an ann
cable settlement Of the ownership of
the islands off the coast of Borneo. The
issue as to the ownership of these is
lands was made by the dispatch to
those waters by Admiral Evans of the
gunboat Quiros, which hoisted the
United States flag on some of the is
lands. They are said to be practically
worthless, but, fearing that the Sultan
of Jolo might undertake to bestow
them on some other nation, the ques-
ton was placed in the hands of General
Wood with the single understanding
that the islands are to be declared part
of either the British or the American
possessions. It is presumed that Gen
eral Wood will report to Washington
in accordance with his statement to the
Governor of North Borneo and that the
question will be finally settled by a
treaty or protocol between the United
States and Great Britain.
