Thorpe left. after making an ap-
pointment at his own hotel for the fol-
lowing day. more than pleased with
his luck None the less. he anticipated
his next step with shaky confidence.
He would now be called upon to buy
four or five teams of horses and enough
feed to last them the entire winter and
he would have to arrange for pro-
visions in abundance and variety for
his men; he would have to figure on
blankets, harness cook camp utensils

lamps. oil. matches, all sorts of hard
ware-in short, all the thousand and
one things. from needles to court plaS-
ter. of which a self sutticing commu-
nifty might come in need And he
would have to figure out his require
ments for the entire winter. After
navigation closed he could impc-t moth
ing more.
Deep in these thoughts he wandered
on at random. He suddenly came to
himself in the toughest quarter of Bay
City

the sound of ordinations pointed to
the colors Of mirth A cheap piano
ratified and thumped through an open
window. Mems and women's voices
mingled in rising and falling gradua-

irregularly across the dark.
Thorpe became aware of figure
crouched in the doorway almost at has
feet The tlickering rays of a distant
street lamp threw into relief the high
lights of violin and head The faca
upturned to him was thin and white
and wolfisl under broad white brow.
Dark eyes CLEANED at him with the
expression Of a fierce animal. Across
the forehead ran long but shallow
cut from which blood dripped. The
creature clasped both arms around n

The Care Of Plants In wlntor.

Give plants all the fresh air you
can. Open doors and windows at
some distance from them on pleasant
days and give them a chance to
breathe in pure oxygen in liberal
quantity. Give all the sunshine you
can. And aim to keep the temper
ature of the room between 70 degrees
by day and 55 at night. 1t will proba-
bly, exceed these figures in both d.
rections, but try to regulate 1t In such
way as to avoid the extremes of in
tense heat and dangerous cold Use
water literally on tho foliage Of your
plants. BY washing off the dust it
keeps open the poreB Of the leaves
through which they breathe, and it
tempers the hot, dry atmosphere pre-
vailing in the living-room. The only
way to modify this condition Is to
keep water evaporating on the stove
