CHAPTER XXI
Cut Of the Tolls.

The scene was one Of great coa:u-
sion, and Kaleidoscope changes.
Having thus defly secured a wear-
on and in a measure himself master
of to situation Colonel John proceed
ed to follow up the advantage by a
series of quick movements that were
apt to prove demoralziEg to the en-
envy.
No sooner hal darkness come upon
the scene than the FeIeral changed
his position and fired shot in the
direction of a sound that was I'M
doubtedly caused by one Of his enc.
mics moving.
Then he instantly changed his quar-
tiers.
He held the advantage, for his foes
numbering at least four, could not be
sure that their fire was directed at the
daring Federal. while ell John had TO
do was TO make his Shots count when
he could.
This singular duel in the dark was
kept up for the space Of several min
utes.
Shouts arose. shouts that were sig
uificant of rage and pain, for Colonel
John was not doing all this work with
out some result. and the satellites OF
the major perhaps even that worthy
himself. had ere this tasted OF his
lead.

Day Of Sacred Memories

Each of our holidays possesses a
peculiar significance, but none excels
Memorial day for arousing the best
thoughts and deepest sentiments.
A day which brings reflection con-
concerning the valor of soldiers and
sailors and the fruits of their efforts,
such as liberty, freedom and pros
perity, cannot be regarded too high
ly. Well may there be eulogies, pro-
cessions and the strewing of flowers
upon such a day. Well may the
thoughts of all be turned to the
pages of history where glorious deeds
upon land and sea are wildly de-
scribed. Well may the present genera
ton stop and ponder on what IS the
true meaning of liberty and freedom
10 a nation of S0,000,000 souls. Well
may they also gratefully acknowledge
the debt they owe to those who sacri-
ced their lives or health or fortunes
that future generations of Americans
might inhabit prosperous land. And
we'll may the most gifted orators ex.

ONE UNViOlATED RULE.
Club Servitor Had Seen Them All

A certain club, the name of which
need not be mentioned, has strict reg

American Spectator.
A quartette of club members decid.
ed to break the rule by a game of
poker for small stakes, so they adj
journcd to one of the small rooms and
told an old servant to bring a pack OF
cards.
When he brought them one Of the
members asked: John, I suppose it
would be something utterly new in
this club if we were to do such a thing
as play for money with these cards?''

Speaking of strange and unac-
countable experiences" remarked the
man with the dubious nose, II am re-
minded of one that happened to a
friend of mine in the summer of SO,
while he was at the Columbian expo
sition. He was in the Fine Arts
building, looking at the picture called
Breaking Home Ties when he heard
a voice behind him say distinctly,
That's what is happening at your
house, over on the west side He
turned and looked to see who it was

the fishy eye.
NO; the strangest part is to come.

too, at the exact moment when he
heard the voice. How do you explain
that, I'd like to know? Was it tele-
pathy? Or what was it?"

THE POINT OF THE PRovERB

An old proverb advises the shoe
maker to stick to his last. It means
that a man always succeeds best at
the business he knows. To the farmer
it means. stick to your plow; to the
blacksmith, stick to your forge; to
the painter, stick to your brush.
When we make experiments out of our
line they are likely to prove expen-
sive failures.
1t is amusing, however, to remark
how every one of us secretly thinks
he could do some other fellows work
better than the other fellow himself.
The painter imagines he can make
paint better than the paint manufac-
turer; the farmer thinks he can do
job of painting better, or at least
cheaper than the painter, and so on.
A farm hand in one of Octave
Thanet's stories tells the Walking
Delegate of the Painters Union, ANY
body can slather paint" and the old
line painter tells the paint salesman,
None of your ready made mixtures
for me; reckon I ought to know
how to mix paint"
The farm hand is wrong and the
painter is wrong: Shoemaker, stick
to your last" The fancy farmer"
can farm, of course, but it Is an ex-
pensive amusement. If 1t strikes him
as pleasant to grow strawberries at
fifty cents apiece, or to produce eggs
that cost him five dollars dozen, it

if he can afford it, but it's not farm
ing. If the farmer likes to slosh
around with q paint brush and can af-
ford the time and the expense of hay
ing a practical painter do the job
right pretty soon afterward, it's a
harmless form of amusement. If the
painters customers can afford to
stand for paint that comes off in half
the time it should, they have perfect
right to indulge his harmless vanity
about his skill in paint making. But
in none of these cases does the shoe
maker stick to his last.
There is just one class of men in
paint properly and have the facilities
for doing it right: and that is the
paint manufacturers-the makers OF
the standard brands of ready-prepared
paints. The painter mires paints;
the paint manufacturer grinds them
together. In a good ready-prepared
paint every particle of one kind Of
pigment is forced to join hands with
a particle of another kind and every
bit of solid matter Is forced. as 1t
were, to open its mouth and drink in
it's share of linseed oil. That is the
only way good paint can be made, and
If the painter knew how to do it he
has nothing at hand to do it with. A
paint pot and a paddle are poor
substitute for power-mixers, buhr-mills
and roller-mills.
The man who owns a building and
neglects to paint it as often as it
needs paint is only a degree more
short-sighted than the one who tries
to do his own painting or allows the
painter to mix his paint for him.

BREAD DYSPEPSIA.

The Digesting Element Left Out.
Bread dyspepsia is common. 1t af-
fects the bowels because white bread is
Dearly ell starch, and starch is digested
in the intestines, not in the stomach
proper.
Up under the shell of the wheat berry
nature has provided curious deposit
which is turned into diastase when it is
subjected to the saliva and to the pan
creatic juices in the human intestines.
This diastase is absolutely necessary
to digest starch and turn it into grape
sugar, which is the next form; but that
part Of the wheat berry makes dark
-four, and the modern miller cannot
readily sell dark -four, so natures val
liable digester is thrown out and the
human system must handle the starch
as best 1t can, without the help that ma
Lure intended.
Small wonder that appendicitis, peri
tonitis, constipation and all sorts of
trouble exist when we go SO contrary
20 natures law. The food experts thar
perfected Grape-Nuts Food, knowing
these facts, made use in their expert
nents of the entire wheat and barley,
including all the parts, and subjected
them to moisture and long continued
warmth, which allows time and tho
proper conditions for developing the
Siastase. outside of the human body.
In this way the starchy part is trans
formed into grape-sugar in perfect
ly natural manner, without the use OF
chemicals or any outside ingredients.
The little sparkling crystals of grape
sugar can be seen on the pieces OF
Grape Nuts. This food therefore IA
naturally pre-digested and it's use in
place of bread will quickly correct tho
troubles that have been brought about
by the too free use Of starch in the
food, and that is very common in the
human race to-day.
TIE eeffct of eating Grape-Nuts ten
days or two weeks and the discontin-
nance of ordinary white bread is very
marked. The user will gain rapidly In
strength and physical and mental
lealtf.
There's reason"

"YGu are banking heavily on the be-
lief that Mollie hates me. Perhaps
you may be surprised in that respect.
However. have nothing more to say.
If | have less than fifteen minutes to

With pleasure"
So saying the major wheeled and
stalked away.
Colonel John sat down on the floor.
Re seemed to be wrapped in medi-
tation, for his head was bent forward.
Some persons claim to tell the state
of mind of a smoker by his manner
Of sending out the rings of smoke.
If there Is truth in this Colonel
John must have been thinking at
furious rate, for he pulled vigorously
at his cigar, and surrounded himself
with quite cloud of smoke.
There was deep design back Of his
action, as he carried out a brilliant
scheme that had flashed into his mind
some time before.
The rapid smoking created a glow
ing spot Of fire at the end of the cigar,
and as John bent forward he raised
his hands, applying the burning end
Of the cigar to the cord.
Fire has accomplished wonderful
things before now, and it served
Johns purpose.
The cord was burned and his hands
ready TO become free.
No wonder he experienced thrill
of satisfaction and made up his mind
that the finding of the court would
not be carried out on this particular
occasion.

had little fear regarding his ability to
Overtake the courier.
So he smoked on, and watched and
planned.
They had robbed him of his revol-
yer, but he knew how this could be
remedied.
His cigar was exhausted.
John still remained in the same po-
sitiOn, as it was his desire to conceal
the - that the cord had been burn
ed almost through.
At length there was a stir. and the
major was seen looking at his watch.
Then the men advanced.

A LAND OF OPPORTUNITIES
Inducements Held Out by wester,-
Canada Are Powerful.

A recent number of the Winnipeg
(Manitoba) Free Press contains ar
excellent article on the prospects in
Western Canada, a portion of which
we are pleased to reproduce.
The agents of the Canadian Gov.
eminent, located at different centres
in the States, will be pleased to glM
any further information as to rates,
and how to reach these lands.
Just now there is a keener inter-
est than ever before on the part Of
the outside world, in regard to the
claims of the Canadian West as field
# settlement. At no previous time
mas there been such rush of immi-
grafton, and the amount of informa-
ton distributed broadcast is unprece-
dentedly great.
I'm the majority of the States of
the Union and in Great Britain the
opportunities for home-making and
achieving OF even a modest compe-
tence are at the best limited. More
over, according to the social and in
dustrial conditions prevalent in those
communities, the future holds out no
promise of better things. 1t is not
strange, then, that energetic young
men should turn their eyes to Can.

In progress. That the prospects are
considerably more than reasonably
certain is borne out by the history of
the country and it's residents. The
promise of gain is powerful, but when
added to it there is the prospect of a
corresponding social and civil eleva-
ton, it should prove irresistible to
young men of a particularly desirable
class for any new country.
"The Canadian West is alive with
opportunities for the young man who
aims at becoming more than a mere
atom in the civil and national fabric.
Some of the eager young fellows who
arrive on the prairies daily are des-
tined to become more than merely
prosperous farmers. In the near fu-
ture great municipal and provincial
development will be in the hands OF
the people. The stepping stone to
both financial prosperity and civil
prominence is, and will be, the farm.
For every professional opening there
are hundreds of agricultural openings.
The Canadian prairies are teeming
with opportunities for the honest and
Industrious of all classes, but they
are specially inviting to the ambitious
young man who seeks a field for the
energy and ability which he feels in.

of Back to the soil!" is more than
a vain sounding phrase when applied
to Western Canada"

Such mimic battle within the Con
federate lines gas apt to draw atten.
ton, and John had especial reasons
for desiring TO make a speedy exi.
from the room before squad of fresh
enemies arrived on the scene.
His later efforts were therefore di
rected toward discovering the posi-
ton of the door.
AS eyesight was of little avail in
that smoky atmosphere he found. him
self compelled to depend upon his
sense of touch
Cropping along the wall he presently
came in contact with the object of his
solicitude.
To open was but the work of sec
ond, and slipping through the narrow
space he found himself breathing the
pure air. 1t was a relief from the
smoke of the interior.
The last sounds he heard were the
groans of those who nursed their
wounds, and the loud though husky
voice of the doughty major calling for
light.
Once free from the building Colonel
John made his way to the road.
He could hear the voices of men
who were running in the direction of
the house, and found 1t difficult mat
ter to avoid the detachment of Con-
federates from a neighbOring camp.
They were drawn in that direction
by the loud cries, accompanied by the
81 80,
that throbbed upon the air, for such
things do not occur without a mean
ing, and in war times that meaning
can be readily understood.
Colonel John had already been
through a considerable experience
during this night.
To few men in years time do adj
ventures come such as had been his
portion since old Phoebus dropped his
glowing face behind the hills that lay
TO the west of Atlanta.
His was a warrior nature, however,
and one that could not be overwhelm-
ed.
Misfortunes might come thick and
fast, by fair means and foul, but John
Ridgeway would never yield himself
a prisoner until every endeavor that
lay in his power had been made.
So, when he heard these COnfeder-
ate soldiers rushing in the direction
of the house, he realized that his
course was blocked by their coming
the Yankee officer had to bring 10 his
aid that diplomacy which on other
occasions had served him so well.
1t did not desert him now.
He desired no encounter.

Colonel John shut his teeth with
snap as he watched their advance,
knowing how fraught with Importance
were the next few seconds, for him.
Come, it is one minute of eleven.
Have you any message to send to
your people-or Mollie?" said the ma
jor. grimly.
Yes. but I prefer to take it my
self
They were close to him now, and
his quick eye had noted its opportun-
ity. One Of the men was actually
carrying the colonel's six-shooter, and
the temptation proved Irresistible.
With a quick movement Johns hand
shot out, AMI his fingers snatched the
weapon from the COnreIerate's bell.
There were cries Of Amusement. Of
CONSERVATION. and then with a leap
the Federal han reached the blazing
aambeau, torn it from the wall and
dashed ii to the floor, bringing dark
ness upon the scene.

WAS WILLING TO "BITE."
Heard of the Great Man in
Question.

At the recent annual meeting of the
voters of Cape Elizabeth two names
were presented for moderator, Henry
S. Jorden and Clement E. Staples, Re-
publican and Citizen, respectively,
says the Boston Herald. The orator
who nominated Mr.. Staples made
mighty effort. who is Clement E.
Staples?" he cried, as he waved his
arms like pump handles and strobe
back and forth on the platform. A
deep and impressive silence followed.
Again waving his arms, he called in
a voice of thunder: who is Clement
E. Staples?" The silence was more
pronounced and the effect greater. The
audience was visibly impressed. Be-
fore attempting to dwell upon the
good qualities of his candidate, the
speaker again proclaimed: Il say,
who is Clement E. Staples?"
A small man in the rear of the hall
stood on a chair and broke the silence
by saying: WAL, I'll bite. Who is
he?"
