o Is true that the hopes which have

Tomorrow blasts may destroy;
6ut even IL none OF the blessings You see
In the future may ever be won,
The hope that you have is a blessing,
for he
Who cannot have hope is undone-
the hopes that we have and the joys we
foretaste rob life OF its wornwood
and gall,
Setter count your chickens before they
are Matched than never 10 count
them at all.
Z we counted no chickens before they
appeared
Men would push no highways ahead.
We would build no foundations, that
walls might be reared.
We would wait for tomorrow in dread,
There Is many q bud that Is spoiled ere

And blight oft descends on the vine.
But was there not joy il our hopes Of the
rose
And the fanciful taste of the wine?
Men would cease to - sowing In spring

In the fall
Better count your chickens before they
are hatched than never to count

To the easy one leading down.

For his work and his eTorts-and how

The hopes that you have and the dreams

CHAPTER VI.
A STRANGE PURsUER.

Covering two-thirdS OF Maine and a
portion OF Canada and New Bruins
wick is a wilderness many hundred
miles N length and breadth. 1t is di-
vided by ranges Of mountains, dotted
by countless lakes, trayersed by in
Vulnerable streams. some running
east into the bay of Chaleur, and
some south into the Atlantic. These
serve as. and are, the only highways.
Sportsmen enter this wilderness a
little way, rarely does one cross it:
lumbermen follow up its streems TO
cut their quota of logs and return the
same way; and yet so broad is il, and
so impossible by direct journey, that
events happening on one side are
rarely known on the other II is a
world by itself. as il were, scarcely
surveyed, with townships of primal
wilderness seldom crossed. lakes that
for years remain unvisited. and noun
tains that are rarely scaled.
1t was the bold intention of Martin
and the doctor 10 cross this for an out

DECORATION FOR The FOURTH.
Store Windows Begin to Present Holt
day Appearance.

Although a little early yet for eX-
tensive decorations some of the merch-
ants have already begun to trim up
their windows with red, white and
blue. Among these are Guichard, the
clothier. One of his windows has a
big dummy firecracker and in the 9TH
er a neatly dressed boy and girl way
ing a flag apiece bestride toy airship.
The center of attraction in Young &
Church's window is another giant
cracker six feet high. This one is
loaded however, and will do business
on the 4th. Their whole window is
daintily decorated with twisted spirals
of tissue paper.
One of the prettiest decorations so
far is that of Levy's book store, in
which the dove of peace gathers in its
bill strands of national colors strung
from the top of the window. George
+. Kellough has for the background
of his window a big American flag
several shields in front and even the
nrices on the goods remounted on little
flags.
