 of routine. She breathed long and
 deeply of the invigorating air.
 ''I wonder. Elias. do you. too, remem-
 Der? But of course not; you're a man
 I don't myself, except here, where one feels as if actually coming alive again after being petrifed. I shall forget my dignity when I go back. It's only the language of the woods after all"
 Eliza Jane laughed half regretfully
 It was not unnatural that the place should stir sentiment in her. It was the same town to which Elias Smith had come after their misunderstood ing, before they quite lost track of each other. Once, writing to her cousin, she casually inquired for her old friend. But Mrs. Hart answered that, while she heard of numberless Smiths, she had yet to come across one called Elias; which. in her judg- ment was q mercy. since it was an ugly name, Scripture or no Scripture; hence when Eliza Jane accepted the invitation she had done so confident she ran no risk of meeting with her boy lover.
 Catching sight through the tangle of underbrush of q glowing mass of azaleas, she pushed her way through, eagerly filling her hands. From one shrub to another she wandered, some times higher up the mountain side, sometimes dropping back, but always adding to her blossoms. When she could carry no more Eliza Jane paused for breath. The flash Of scarlet and glossy black of tanager caught her eye. and she held herself breathless so as not to scare him away.
 When the green tangle swallowed him up she realized her own fatigue and retraced her steps to find her bas- ket. Search as she would. she Ssuld not come upon it. Back and forth she walked. now climbing afresh the rocky incline. now descending with greater speed. At times stray bits of azaiel caught on alien shrubs made her realize with disgust that she was covering ground already trodden. Her watch proved fhe hour late; dinner would be over and her cousin anxious at her nonappparauce. Of small value in itself. the basket could be easily re placed. but the little spinster did moi relish leaving her inspiration of the woods to the mercy of any stranger passing that way.

A LONG DRIVE.
The Expert Lumbermen of the Cana
 dian Rivers.

The Expert Lumbermen of the Cana dian Rivers.
 One of the most interesting sights the new arrival in Canada can strike is to witness log drive on one of the rivers there, especially should there be several rapids to navigate.
 The expert river man Is a clever ath- lete-clever and nervy as any circus rider, his steeds probably cutting more antics than any horse could think of. He will jump from one log to another quickly as they swirl around until he reaches the one he wants; then he will make for the center and stand perfect. ly upright and still. balancing himself with long pike or peavy, sometimes running down stream miles without landing.
 He also guides other logs into the channel In passing. at times jumping from one to another in marvellous fash ion, although the logs are twisting and turning in every direction.
 Probably the cleverest piece of work one could observe out here Is when the logs get damned in passing the rapids. Then you see the expert at his best. He is here. there and every where until he gets things as he wants them. when he will calmly stand and ride down among the heaving. grind ing mass as though there were no dan ger at hand. This scene, so full of ex- citement, once witnessed could never be orgotten.-London TIt-Bits.

 Perhaps womanly sympathy for any thing bordering on romance held her i tongue, for she made no comment then or ever, till it no longer mattered.
 "Listen. Eliza .Iane." she continued with growing interest. there's some re- marks by the editor himself. He de- sires the author to go down to the of- flee for a check. Do tell! Money for that rubbish! Not that want to hurt your feelings guess yours are no worse than lots of others"
 Perhaps writing would answer''- began Eliza Jane.
 Personal application is what 1t says here. If you can make money that easy the least you can do is to go aft CT it."
 So Eliza Jane did go and was usher cd into the august presence of the edi- tor. That gentleman proved tall, broad shouldered and a trIfie bald, but with eyes that twinkled as at some peculiar ly pertinent joke
