 But this impending danger to the poor old hermit woke Martins curi- osity.
 Levi" he said, while they waited, "these officers are on wrong scent, am sure, but are after some criminal no. doubt. Do you know of any who have been or are now in hiding here in this wilderness?"
 "I do," answered Levi, "but there's reasons why I don't care to speak out. I ain't shieldin no murderers by keep in mum. Pm just mindin' my own business, n not tellin' things that might end in my bein' mark for a bullet some day; that is all
 Well" responded Martin, some what surprised, q think understand your position, and it's all right. I don't want to get you into trouble, you may be sure, or to give any one away; but at least you can tell me whether you ever heard that an escaped crimi- nal was hiding in this wilderness. It won't go any farther, I'll give you my word.''
 And then Levi, much pressed, told this story:
 i've heerd thar was one, chap by the name of Mcclure, an he had the name O bein' bad man. ain't sayin' this as a fact, only just what heerd He used to do smugglin' years ago down country, fetchin' runl in from the provinces, n then Chinks hid in cof- fins, m all that business Arter that, he kept place up to Grin stun where lumbermen could spend thar money middlin' quick on rum, cards, 'n' sich. They used ter say he got most on t., but some on lem made a fuss n took the law on him, n then he dropped back. The next heerd he was up to St. Francis-that's on the upper St. John-'n' runnin' the same sort O a dive; n then he shot warden fer tryin' ter arrest him fer dynamitin' salmon on spawnin' beds, n then he took to the woods. All this happened some years ago, n thars been a standin' offer of $1,000 fer him ever since. ain't heerd he's been ketched, though"
 But have you an idea that the chap we found with a bell signal last spring was this McGuire?" put in Martin, eagerly; "did you think so then?"
 Why, sorter guessed it might be" put in Levi cautiously, "but I'd rather you wouldn't tell them wardens, If you meet lem agin. It might make me trouble. ain't over fond O game war dens either, fer that matter" Then new light dawned on Mar tin.
 T won't give you away. Old Faith frll." he said, and not a hint to those wardens, you may be sure. They doubted my word just now when was telling the truth, and am .agin 'em as much as you are. We will beat them to the old hermit's home tonight, if our paddles don't break, and when you and I part company, you will be we'll remembered.

CHAPTER xxvI.
UNEXPECTED TROUBLE

But of that journey into the wilder ness little need be said. It was like all such-a romantic, though at times somewhat tedious, following of streams, crossing lakes and carries, and camping when night overlook them. On the second day out old Cy obtained his first sight and shot at a deer, and, as might be expected, no harm befeH the deer.
 'I sartinly aimed fair enough he asserted in response to Martins laugh. 'but the gun might a wobbled a leetIe. It's bigger game n I'm used to-
 He made amends later, for along to- ward night and jusL as they rounded bend in the stream, there on the bank, with antlers held high, stood noble buck looking directly at them. With quick backward stroke Jean halted the canoe, Cy raised his rifle, fired, and the deer leaped straight up- ward and vanished in the undergrowth.
 Never touched him!" exclaimed Martin. But with "Not so, he one dead deer" from the more experienced Jean, he urged his canoe forward, and, sure enough, there on the bank trail of blood led them 100 rods into the forest and to the prize awaiting them.
 No deer jump that way cept ne yer bad hit" asserted Jean, in triumph, and as for old Cy, 1t was the proudest moment of his life.
 The next day they came upon jolly party of four fellow-sportsmen housed In deserted lumber camp on the shore Pf a small lake, and halted for the usual exchange of compliments, and finally they made camp and remained near them that night. They were typical party, jolly and full of fun, and addressed each other by most unique nfcknames. The leader, stout, forid, genial man was called Lobster Face, the next, thin fellow, was Herring Bone, short dapper little fellow re- sponded to Brownie, and the dude of the party answered to Dead Easy.
 But Martin was too anxious to solve the mystery that led him into the woods to taTry long with this pleasant

CHAPTER xxv.

IN THE WILDERNESS ONCE MORE.
 Never before, during old Cy's unfor- tunate and hand-to-mouth existence, had so much delightful expectation entered as the morning he left Green vale as Martins companion, attired in new brown corduroy. The best of any pleasure is in anticipation, and the old man, now barbered into more human semblance, looked 20 years younger. Then the busy world they soon en- tered, the rushing trains, the crowded cities, the hurrying people, the hasty meals, the night on a train, were one and all so great a change from his simple life in Greenvale, that he almost Aost his senses. His sleeping-car ex- perience, and his first one, was almost ludicrous in it's effect upon him.
 It sorter seemed just like bein' in coffin n clankin right along toward Kingdom come," he said next morning in response to Martins inquiries as to how he slept, n every time the train rocked, thought I'd got thar"
 But when the border of the wilder ness was reached, old Cy felt more at home, for forest lakes and streams had been his lifelong companions. He was somewhat surprised at the extensive purchases Martin made at the little village store, and especially at a com plete suit of mems clothing with double sets of flannel underwear, but asked no questions. Neither did he have any idea of the real and ultimate object of the trip, and was not told until our old friends Levi and Jean had pushed the well-loaded canoes 20 miles up a broad stream, and the first camp was made. All that day old Cy had been like boy in his enjoyment of this new wonder world of dark bordering forest disturbed only by the ripping stream, the cry of an eagle sailing over 8 mountain top, or the chatter of a flock of ducks rising out of a lagoon; and then, when the tent was pitched, SUD- per eaten, and Martin was reclining upon his blanket and slowly putting his pipe, he told the story of the her. init, and who he was suspected to be.
 'The doctor and had trip full of unusual and mysterious experiences last spring" he said, "and it's only a surmise on my part. even now, who kha b a$saik zuAa EinaAssua uAzA =zriaitAAs

If it proves to be Amzi, you alone can reach his memory and maybe induce him to return to Greenvale.'

Washington, DAY 6.-The real rea-

he is building for the presidency in
1908.
The many members Of congress who
attended the dinners at the Cannon

prised. OF course, there is nothing
official, but it is in this talk that great
movements often have their origin.
Uncle Joe was put in nomination by

winter. It will be recalled that Will

very near to making it an official
ratification by the house of represent

nomination would strip him Of all real
power and relegate him to a shelf

Of sailors was ordered ashore. The
sailors plunged into the water, waded
breast deep for about 1000 yards and
reached the beach at 1920 p. m.
Immediately advancing, they took
possession of range of hills without
firing a, shot and planted our flag on
the hills.
''The gunboats Amagai, Oshima and
Chieukai were employed to distract
the enemy's attention. They discov-#
cred a hundred of the enemy and
shelled them, killing several.
''The first fleet of transports began
landing troops at 8 p. m. The troops,
who were forced to wade ashore, were
in high spirits.
..In order to facilitate the further
landing OF troops, piers are being
erected. Our division is assisting in
the work. =

Hartford, Conn.,, May 6.-In the de-

FOR MEDITERRANEAN

washington, May "a representa-

left Pensacola yesterday for a cruise
across the Atlantic and into the Medi-

ships Of the North Atlantic squadron
and the newly organized European
squadron. The joint squadrons are

manded by Rear Admiral Theodore F..
Jewell. The fleet is composed Of the
battleships Kearsarge, Iowa, Ala
bama and Maine and the cruisers
Olympia, Cleveland and Baltimore.
The itinerary of the cruise is left to

ceeding from Pensacola to Guantanamo
and beginning the transatlantic trip
from that point. Secretary Moody

on their way to Guantanamo on the
dispatch boat Dolphin, and it Is proba-
BILE that they may await the arrival

Chicago, May 6.-By the end Of the

a genuine bread famine.
The seven big bakeries where the
bakers have walked out and from
whose ovens two-thirds Of the bakery
bread supply comes, are running day
and night.
Bread has not risen in price, but
the larger bakers complain that they
will not be able much longer to sell
a loaf Of bread for cents. They
have, moreover, stopped the importa-
ton of bread. Both the bakery bosses
fight the question out to the bitter
end. Police guard the bakery
wagons and this is expected to pre-
cipitate a sympathetic strike Of the
