Science Studies Your Baby.

Science takes large and compre-
hensive interest in modern babies and
baby-statistics, says the September
Delineator.
The average weight of boy babies at
birth is seven pounds; girls about six
and a half pounds. During the first
three days the child loses weight; aft
err it is week old it steadily in
creases.
A child should increase in weight
two pounds for every addition of an
inch in height between three and four
feet. and two and one-half pounds for
every inch between four and five feet.
The healthy baby triples its weight
at birth in one year, doubles this in
six years, quadruples this weight in
Is years, and at 81 man weighs q
times his weight at birth.

ways in Order.

A well-known Virginia clergyman,
onetimehpresident of William and
Mary college, was married three times
and on each occasion the ceremony
was performed by his brother, an even
more renowned bishop. When the first
marriage took place, the bishop had
to refuse tempting invitation from
an old friend because-so the letter
RAM am going up to Williamsburg
on that date to marry my brother
George"
The same friend happened to be
on the train with him, years after
ward, when he was travelling to the
second ceremony. II am going to mar
ry my brother George" the bishop
explained, benignly, after the business
of greeting was over. Again many
years passed, and the same journey
was taken once more for the same
purpose. BY a strange coincidence,
the identical friend ran into the bish-
op as they hurried through the depot
to their respective trains. "Where go
ing bishop" the former sang out as
they grasped hands and dashed by
each other.

The BRIGHT Firstbcrn.

They were discussing the law of en-.
tail-the English law bequeathing tho
bulk of the family property to the
eldest son.
There is SO per cent. of logic in
that law" said physician, "aRd IL the
family property went to the firstborn,
whether son or daughter, the law
would contain 100 per cent. Of logic.
For the first born child is practically
always the best-best in brain, in
build, in beauty, in everything.
why is this so? 1t is because mar

CHAPTER Nv.

A week was spent by Martin and his
party at the settlement, during which
he acquired the title to township Al,
range 10, which included the little
lake near the hermit's hut, and made
a four-square-mile tract about it.
Chip, thanks to Angie, secured a
simple outfit of apparel and-surpris-
ing fact-evinced excellent taste in its
selection, thereby proving that eight
years of isolation and a gunny-sack
and red-shirt garb had not obliterated
the deepest instinct OF woman.
To Levi Martins woodwise helper,
was left the selection of fittings for
the new camp. A couple of husky
Canucks were engaged TO bring them
in i'm bateau, and then the party
started on it's return.
Only one incident of Importance oc-
CURED during the wait at this village
known as GTindstone. Angie and Chip
had just left the only store there, in
front of which a group of log -drlvers
had congregated, when Angie, glanc-
ing back, saw that one of the group
was following them. She quickcned
her pace. and SO did he, until just as
they turned into a side street, he
passed them, halted, and turned about.
wal. I'm damned if faint Chip. an
dressed like a Teddy" he exclaimed,
as they drew near.
"Hullo, Chip" he added, as they
passed, when did you strike luck?"
Chip made no response and he NUT
tered again, oval, I'm damned, jest
like a leddy!"
1t was annoying, especially to Angie,
and neither of the two realized how
soon this blunt log-driver's discovery
would reach Tins Place.
Charlevoix county herald., 1907-11-23

And now, leaving the bateau to fol-
low, the party started once more on
their journey into the wilderness. No
sight or sign of pursuit from the half
breed had been thus far observed. A
few idle lumbermen in the village
the only visible connection between
the vast forest and a busy world
were little thought of, as their canoes
crept slowly up the narrowing river
and gave no hint of interference from
this low brute to anyone except Levi.
He, however, seldom speaking, but
ever acting. kept watch and ward con-
tinually. At every bend of the stream
his eyes were alert to catch the first
sight of a homecoming canoe in time
to conceal Chip, as he decided must
be done. When night camps were
made, site at the head of the lagoon
or up some tributary stream was Sc
lected, and while not even limiting his
reason for this, he felt it wise. AS
they drew near to Tins Place, 1t be-
gan to occur to Martin that Chips
presence had best be concealed until
that point was passed. He also de-
sired to learn the situation there. He
had always halted at this clearing in
all his up-river journeys, so far, usual
ly to buy pork and potatoes, and he
now intended to do SO again. He also
felt it imperative to conceal Chip in
Rays canoe, before they reached Tim S
Place, and let Ray paddle slowly on
while the halt was made. But Levi
dissented.
"'Tain't best" he said, ito let Tim
know there's two canoes of us and one
not stoppin'. It'll make him spicious

in the night, leave the wimmen above,
n you n l go back n git what we
want"
But what about the Canucks follow
ing us with the bateau?" returned
Martin. They'll tell who is with us,
won't they?"
"They didn't see us start" answered
Levi on can't swear wimmen came.
Well say we're alone, n bein' SOIL
make it plausible, N you might say
we're goin to build a camp n mother

but how about cur men, on the re-
turn trip, after finding we have wom-
en- at the camp?" rejoined Martin.
They will be sure to tell all they know
on the way back"
We've got to keep the wimmen
ehady, an fool EN-" answered Levi.
And so his plan was adopted.
It was in the early hours of morning
when the two canoes crept noiselessly
past Tins Place. The stars barely
outlined the rivers course, the frame
dwelling. log cabin, and stump-dotted
slope back of them. All the untidiness
existent about this dwelling was hid
in darkness, and only the faint sounds
and odors betrayed these conditions.
But every eye and ear in the two
canoes was alert, paddles were dipped
without sound, and Chips heart was
beating so loudly that it seemed to
her Tim and all his family must be
awakened. Her recent escape from
this spot and all the reasons forcing
it, the fear that both her father and
the half-breed might even now be
there, added dread; and not until a
bend hid even the shadowy view of

Better Than Steel Safe.

Iron safes being difficult to obtain
and his subjects being in many cases
adroit thieves, the king of Anam some
time ago resorted to the ingenious
method of safeguarding his treasures.
In the interior of his palace the king
caused a large tank to be constructed,
which he kept constantly filled with
water Several teak logs were bored
out. and in the holes he packed his
Jewels and treasures. The holes were
then closed and the logs put into the
tank. A number of large crocodiles
were placed in the tank and kept on
short rations, 80 that any thief who
attempted to get at the treasures
would be a tempting meal.

easier.
II was nigh skeered to DEATH" she
whispered to Ray when safety seemed
assured, IAN If ever Pete finds I'm up
whar the folks is goin', I'm goner."

confidence of youth; my uncle can

Cy is up at the camp, and he's won

for a reply which did not come; they
will be along in day or two with
most of our supplies; but felt sure
l could get some extra good pork Of
you and some choice potatoes"
'You kin that same" replied Tim,
his demeanor obviously softening un-
der this flattery, and so business re-
lations were established.
Martin had intended asking some
cautious question regarding Chip or
her father; but Tins surly face, his
unresponsive manner, and mistrust
of its wisdom prevented. He was
blunt Of speech, almost to the verge of
insolence, and the arrival of Martin
with all his polite words evoked not
vestige of welcome; and yet back of
those keen gray eyes of his deal of
cunning might Turk, thought Martin.
Charlevoix county herald., 1907-11-23

Two slovenly women peereu out or
back door and window while the inter-
view was in progress. Mike came and
looked on in silence; two of the oldest
children were down by the canoe
where Levi waited; the rest, open
eyed and astonished, seemed likely to
be trodden on by some one each mo-
ment. When the stores were secured
and paid for, and Martin had pushed
off with Levi, he realized something Of
the life Chip must have led there.
He had intended not only to obtain
potatoes, but some information of
value. He obtained the goods, paying
thrifty price, also good bit of cold
shoulder, and that was all.
But Levi, shrewd woodsman that he
was, Jared better.

1t was gratifying news to Martin,
and when the other canoe was
reached, the two again pushed on,
with Martin, at least. feeling that the
ways of Fate might prove acceptable.

CHAPTER ,lI.-Continued.

A more serious subject was under
discussion in the other canoe, mean
time, as to the future disposition of
Chip herself
Il feel it my duty to take care of
her," Angie said, after relating her
conversation with Chip and that morn
;ng's incident. "She is a homeless,
outcast waif needing education and
everything else to Christianize her.
We must bring her to the settlement,
but to turn her adrift might mean leav-
ing her to a life of vice, even if she
escapes her brutal father and this
worse half-breed. Then, again, l am
not sure that her parentage will bear

Martin.

turning to his guide, you know this
fellow; what will he be apt to do?"

But Martin did not quite share Lewis
fears, and so Angles decision was
agreed to. Lewis advice to keep
shady" was accepted. however, and all
through that summers somewhat
thrilling experiences it was the rule of
conduct.
When supper was over came the
lounging beside the cheerful fire, and
as the shadows thickened, forth came
Rays banjo once more, and with it the
light of admiration in Chips eyes.
All that day he had been her charm
ing companion; his open, manly face,
his bright brown eyes, had been ever
before her. His well-bred ways, so un.
like all the men at Tins Place, had
impressed her as those of youth of
IS will maid of IS; and now, with
his voice appealing to the best in her,
ne seemed like Pan Of old, once more
wooing a nymph with his pipes.
No knowledge of this was hers, no
consciousness of why she was happy
came to her. She knew what spites
were: but the god Pan and Apollo
with his harp were unknown forms.
Neither did she realize that born in
her soul that day, on the broad shin
ing river, was magic impulse woven
out of her heart throbs, and destined
to mete out to her more sorrow than
all else in her life combined.
She had entered the wondrous vale
of love whose paths are flower-strewn,
whose shores are rippled with laugh
ter, and whose borders, alas are ever
hid in the midst of tears.

quently paying teller of the New Orle-
ans National Bank for twenty seven
years, died suddenly on Wednesday
last, Nov. q, at Cambridge, Mass. i,
his native state, whittier he went FIVE
years ago to spend the remainder of
his life. Col. Shute was a Union SOL
der for short time, having enlisted
in 1854 at the early age of IA years.
Settling in New Orleans after the

The manner of his passing away was
peculiar. He had been asked to ad-
dress the young people at an assembly
Of the Christian Endeavor Society,
and had arose and said: "My young
friends, you must put your whole faith
in God. when he was seized by a
heart paroxysm and fell over in the
