in trust for Mrs. Chadwick, this pa

Carnegie.
These securities have been for the
past three years the principal basis
upon which Mrs. Chadwick has con-
Quoted her financial system and on
which she has borrowed sums run

The same securities are the rock

While the father was alive the place
had been home to them. They had
known no other, and were satisfied.
With him dead all was changed, and
the place was lonely for both. They
felt sure that Mr.. Scott wanted to do
something, and before they saw him
again they wondered many times Just
what he would propose.
The fishing season lasted all
through the spring and summer, but
as hot weather came on the catches

many, and so the children did not go
out as often. When next they visited
Chenille they were told that Mr..
Scott had gone abroad and would not
return for three or four months, and
the summer passed very quietly with
them. Now and then they walked
through the woods to visit a neighbor,
and now and then a neighbor dropped
IN to see them, but for the most part
they were alone. 1t was one hot day
along towards the last of August that
they shouldered their rifles and set
forth to kill squirrels for supper.

as was also the sad fate of their father,
and by the time Mr.. Scott reached the
bank a little crowd had assembled to
hear what might be said. Great was
the wonder of the loser Of the bag
over its strange recovery, and, Of

Uncle Sans military headquarters
in the East are on a little island in
the upper bay of New York. almost
under the shadow of the skyscrapers.
More than fifty thousand people pass
1t in ferryboats every day, but not one
in thousand ever sets foot on it; for
it is entirely devoted to the army.
Armed sentries patrol every foot of it's
shore, armed sentries with loaded
Krags and side arms guard the land

anything that he has known in his

The Adventures of Ben and Nancy.

something that very morning, ana as
they Travelled through the woods Ben
was whistling and his sister pouting,
and neither speaking a word to the
other. One was looking away to the
right and the other to the left when
of a sudden and without the slightest
warming. a large wild cat, which had
been crouched on the limb of tree
above them, screamed out and alight-
ed on the ground between them. No
wild animal is fiercer or swifter than
a wild cat But for the fact that she
fell into a hole when she struck the
ground, and was a few seconds in
working herself free, one or both of
the children would have been severely
clawed and bitten. They acted al
most without thought as they dis
charged their rifles into her body and
then ran away a few feet. The cat
was severely wounded, and was try
ing to follow them up when a second
shot from Ben's rifle stretched her
dead.
You may be sure there was no more
quarreling that day, nor for many
days afterwards. The sharp, strong
claws of the beast were preserved as
curiosities, and whenever a dispute
arose the children would look up to
the claws hanging on the wall and at
once begin to laugh. When Septem-
Der came they resumed their fishing
trips, and now and then visited Glen
vile to deposit a little money in the
bank and they learned from the
banker that Mr. Scott had not yet rs
turned. 1 may tell you that business

kept him abroad until the next spring,
and that Ben and Nancy spent another
fall and winter in the woods. That
winter was much milder than the
former one, and the ice did not form
on the bay until January. 1t broke
up again in March, and the fishing
season was. therefore, a short one.
Among the fishermen who came back
was the one who had purchased their
game before, and again he wanted all
they could kill. Hunting was made
business, but not with such success.
Deer were scarce, and only now and
then was a bear to be seen, and the
children only made shillings where
they had made dollars before. There
were many days when Nancy did not
go out with Ben. Although not yet
II years old, she not only had their
housework to do. but their clothing
to keep in order. If the cloth in their
garments was coarse and strong, their
trips through the forest often made rips
and rents. and although Ben was
something of a cook, he could not man.
age the thimble and needle. On one
of his trips to Chenille he purchased
complete set of boys books. and
with hunting, getting up firewood, Wis
iting the fishing village and reading,
the two managed to pass that winter
in the woods rather pleasantly. Things
were going to happen to make 1t their
last winter. and there was thrilling
adventure waiting for them on water
when the Ice should break up.

one of the great cannon. He looks
again and loi it is a squirrel.
He chirps, and Mr.. Squirrel, with a
merry fiirt of his tail, glides down the
long, lean barrel of the gun and runs
trustingly up to him. At his feet il
sits up at attention. He stoops and
holds his hand out. Uncle Sans
squirrel promptly reaches forth one
of it's long, black forepaws and puts
it into his hand, where 1t feels around
for nuts. Within a moment half
dozen companions come scampering
down from cannon, mortars, piles of
cannon balls and ear4hworks
After they have wheedled all the
nuts out of the visitor and he walks
on, he is followed by chattering
parade of the little bushy- tailed beau
ties.
Wherever he goes he sees more
They frisk across every path. They
sit even on the piers that jut into the
busiest harbor in the world. So tame
and confident are they that they scam

to them.

$1,000 years ago.
The modern discoverer who found II
blew through II, and IL gave out a
shrill, clear whistle. That was the
hrst sound 1t had sent out since its
child owner dropped IL. When that
child blew it, its sound may have
frightened the calves of the hairy
mammoth, the cubs of the cave bear
and the young of the mighty auerochs.
The child that played with Il was
