given to the subject until just as
Scofield was bidding us good-by, two
of the women came running from the
river bank with the frightful news
that Mrs. Simpsons canoe had cap
sized in midstream and that she was
drowning.
l am sure we wasted not a second,
and yet by the time Trollet and l had
reached the bank and had launched
a fat-bottomed boat, Scofield, who
had plunged into the water, was half
way to the struggling woman.
I think Mrs. Simpson had surely
come near drowning had it not been
for Scofeld's excellent tactics in the
water Long before we got there he
had seized her in his arm and was
making rapid progress toward-not
the boat! The fool was swimming

stiff current, we overlook them.

shot at me as he felt the woman
dragged from his arms into the boat.

and waited an age he did not reap

worked over him two hours before
he showed any signs of life; and
then another two hours before con-
seriousness returned. And when we
got him back to camp and into a
warm bed think every one offered
up thankful prayer that things had
turned out as they had.

Henry, that attack of cramps came

He looked at me quizzically for a
moment, then pressing my hand feebly

time, had discovered some important

At lunch time Mrs. Simpsons abb

Heaven knows why we took SEQ
field along on that camping expedition
rather than any of the other young
bachelors in town, unless because he
was powerful swimmer, an excellent
angler, the possessor of a good voice
and could pick guitar. Collectively
they made up for the lack of a wife,
you understand. Nor do l know why
should have been the only one OF
the party whose suspicious were
aroused by Scofeld's attentions to
Mrs. Simpson. Maybe it was because
l understood his sullen, melancholy
moods better than the rest. At any
rate, that strange look, which Gre t
into his eyes occasionally at night as
he sat gazing across the blazing camp
fire at Mrs. Simpson, put me i'll at
ease. 1t was not the same look of ad-
miration which most of us men cast
in her direction. There was more to
1t. Scofield would so far forget his
surroundings that he had to be spo-
ken to twice before he heard. And
he seemed to take ferocious delight
in badgering poor little Simpson.
Simpson is little jackass, there is
no denying that. But there IS no
reason on earth why man should
duck woman's husband while they
are in bathing, not once, but again
and again, unless it be to show her
what jackass he really is.
So heavily did misgivings weigh
upon my mind that at last l men
toned the subject to my wife, who
has always been a sort of mentor to
young Scofield.
Cousin Henry in love with Laura!
Why, George, he's no more in love
with her than the rest of you men. OF
course, he's fond of her, and likes to
bait her hook and row the boat while
she angles, and keep the fire roaring
when it's her time to cook. The
ideal Laura is perfectly safe.
never saw a woman more in love with
her husband, dear, unless, of course,
it be your own wife"
Laura was safe! l had had nc
doubt of that before. But how about
Scofield? My wife, as may be guess
ed, is champion of her own sex. Ills
peculiar to the heart of man are
wholly without her ken. Perhaps
that is the reason l resolved IN the
future to keep all misgivings on the
subject cooped up in my own mind
The next afternoon, while Scofeld
and Mrs. Simpson were out shooting
at a target in the woods, Mrs. Simp
son was taken suddenly i'll and re
turned alone to the camp. Some
thing she had eaten at breakfast had

Woman's innocence Discovered After

Woman's Innocence Discovered After
Six Years In Prison.
One Of the strangest of stories OF
false Imprisonment comes from
France. A woman was sentenced to
imprisonment for life for having
caused the death of her husband and
brother. The three lived together at
Malaunay. near Rouen, in cottage,
the lower part of which was used as
wineshop. When the woman was
sent to prison other people took the
wineshop, but the new tenants suf-
fered. the man from fainting Ats, his
wife from nausea. from which she
died. Another couple tried their for
tune, but they, too, were overcome by
the spell of the accursed place" as
they thought II. They were subject
to fainting and loss of memory. At
last a scientific examination of the
premises was made. Then 1t was
found that adjoining the inn was a
lime kiln. In the wall dividing 1t
from the cottage were many assures,
so that whenever lime was burnt
monoxide of carbon escaped into the
inn. This was the secret of the deaths
for which the woman was suffering.
She was brought out OF prison after
six years of servitude.

In the Heart of Dresden.

IN the ffcdrr or DRESDEN.
Dresden, as known to the Dresden
er, stretches for miles along the river
filing the valley with white villas
that climb the hillsides or cluster
elong the banks peasant suburbs,
with pleasant houses, powered in
pleasant gardens, where man may
live very happy life on very small
income. Then, in the heart of the
city are still left old streets and
squares which speak of the past,
quaint old houses, with high-pitched
gables, that seem to lean together,
rarity for mutual support, and partly
to whisper together of the fine times
they had in the old days that are gone.
They are not very healthy, perhaps;
certainly they are sometimes a little
fragrant with fragrance that is not
of roses. But for those who do not
live in them they are eminently pic
turesque. They are rendered all the
more so by the fact-and I wonder
the town council does not advertise
it as among the chief residential
amenities-that there Is scarcely a
street from which you may not OBJ
tain a distant view of blue hilltops
dominating the chimney pots.
Thus, then, Dresden is always a
city of compromises, lingering between
the old and the new-her factories
and (within few miles, though out
of sight her collieries, her broad
white streets and modern villa resi-
dences," face to face with her memoir
les of the past, and her memorials of

of an old state, which is yet but an
item of brand new empire, she is old

above all, she is the setting for the
