The lrapper's Revenge

fOrlginal1
A century ago, when that large strip
OF territory then known MS Louisiana
was purchased from France. the region
was very wild. Settlers were Ia dan
ger Of Indians gwhen the Indians We're
inclined to be hostile, but panthers,
wolves and other wild animals were
there, and they were always hostile.
Somewhere about 1920 a Scotchman
named MacEwen. with bis wife and
daughter, settled in Illinois on the edge
Of what was then called the Grand
prairie Helen, the daughter, grew to
be very pretty lassie, and. as mar
riageabIe " men were then scarce IN
that country, she had number Of
suitors. Among them was young
trapper, MacDowelI, whose father
MacEwen had known in Scotland The
trapper was making money, and Mac.
Even, being a thrifty man, with an eye
to the value OF property. made a match
between him and his daughter. Young
MaeDoweII was a silent unobtrusiye
fellow, who spent most Of his time
out in the wilderness setting his traps,
so that Helen MacEwen had never
seen much of him.
Then came on the Black Hawk In
dian war, and after it was all over a
company OF militia marching home
passed through the place where the
MacEwens lived A lieutenant. Leon
ard Bright, saw Helen MacEwen and
fell desperately in love with her. The
soldiers passed on. but in less than a
month Bright was back, ostensibly
looking for an opportunity to enter
government land, but really TO meet
the girl who had charmed him.
Mcdowell saw very soon how things
were going, but said nothing Perhaps
If he were not out all day setting his
traps il might not have happened, but
Bright had ample opportunity and
made the most Or it. One afternoon
MacDowell, while at work In the
woods, saw Bright and Helen riding
on horseback along road leading east
ward. The direction. toward the more
thickly settled country, put It into the
trapper's head that something was
wrong, though this was nothing more
than mere suspicion. 1t was near
evening. and MacDowel went home
when supper time came and Helen had
not returned to her fathers house,
Mcdowell knew that she had gone
away for good with her new lover
Aiming himself, the trapper mounted
and rode after the fugitives. intending
that II Bright wanted the girl he
should fight for her. Mcdowell sus-
pected that re couple would point for
Cincinnati. SO be kept that road. 1t
was starlight night, and the air was
crisp. Presently he heard before him
a faint sound. He refined in his horse
and listened. 1t was the barking OF a
pack Of wolves.
Starting on, he rode rapidly. the bark
ing OF the wolves growing more and
more distinct, Then there was shot,
distant, like tie voices Of the wolves.

fire escapes. Besides the usual Are
appliances and alarms on every floor
each guest room Is provided with an
automatic fire detector service, which
notifies the Office If the temperature
reaches 100 degrees
Modern experience and investigation
have proven that in the vast majority
of cases people do not perish In acct
dental fires through the flames and
heat, but lose their lives through suf-
location. II was with these facts in
mind that each floor was divided into
sections and isolated from all other
floors by fireproof Enclosures around
the stairways and elevators AT the
first sign of alarm the doors to these
are closed. but not locked, by the turn
ing Of a lever In the office, thus cutting
off each floor from the others and in
surfing the confinement of any fire and
smoke to It's original source. This is
the first hotel where this principle has
been applied.

he thought was a cat when he started

When Judge Parker and his family
started for church they had to make a
run for the launch at time when
Teddy was not looking Persons who
sought to enter the grounds changed
their minds even before they saw the
private property signs. Many did
not know why they left, but found it
unpleasant to remain.
Teddy met the polecat late at night
aud after killing it tried to get into the
house Judge Parker answered the
dogs scratch at the screen, but was
firm in his refusal to let the animal in.
