still lurked in its depths and doubt
less were watching; but protector
was near, his arm was strong back
at the landing were kind friends, and
the undulating path of silvered light,
the round, smiling orb above, the
twinkling stars, and this matchless
music became a new wonder-world to
her.
Her eyes glistened and grew tender
with pathos. She had no more idea
than child why she was happy.
Each day sped by on wings of wind,
each hour, with her one best COM
panion, the most joyful, and so, day
by day, poor Chip learned the sad
lesson of loving.
But never a word or hint Of this
fell from her lips. Ray was so far
above her and such a young hero, that
she, homeless outcast, tainted by
the filth and service of Tins Place,
could only look to him as she did to
the moon.
Not for one instant did he realize
the growing independence and self-re-
lance Of this wilderness waif, or how
the first feeling that she was a burden
upon these kind people would chafe
and vex her defiant nature, until she
would scorn even love, to escape it,
Just now the tender impulse of
love was all Ray felt or considered.
This girl of sweet sixteen and utter
confidence in him was so enthralling
in spite Of her crude speech and lack
of education, her kisses were so much
his to take whenever chance offered,
and himself such a young hero in her
sight, that he thought of naught else.
In this, or at least so far as his
reasoning went, they were like two

track, Ger a good bit o his legs was
turned up to walk on, and he wore
moccasins t'other day"
Curious now, and somewhat startled
he looked along where the narrow
beach curved out and around to the
landing, and saw the tracks led that
way. Then picking his way so as not
to obscure them, he followed until not
three rods from the new cabin they
left the beach and were plainly visible
behind couple of spruces, in the soft
carpet of needles, which was crushed
for small space, where some one had
stood.
Returning to camp, Old Cy motioned
to Levi and Martin. All three returned
to the ice-house, looked where the
canoe had cut it's furrow, took up the
trail to its ending beside the two
trees, and then glanced into one an
others eyes with serious, sober, trou-
bled faces.
And well they might; for the even
ing previous they had all been grouped
upon the piazza of this new cabin un-
til late, while scarce three rods away
a spying enemy, presumably this half
breed, had stood and watched them.

TEACH BY EXAMPLE
GOOD METHOD OF INSTALLING
"TABLE MANNERS"
Children viii UnconsciousIy Copy the
Actions Of Their Elders-Plan
That Worked Successfully
in One Family.

There is very little of the doing
unto others as you would that others
should do unto you in the bringing
up of children, fact which children
learn sooner or later and instructive
ly resent under the consciousness of a
lack of fair play" somewhere, or
somehow, but which they are too I'M
developed to rightly place. The
greater part of their poor little lives
is hedged around with spiky fence
of "don'ts" that would soon bring on a
case of nervous prostration for their
elders If similarly tortured.
Now, if, as modern thinkers be-
lieve, children as rule are uncon-
scious copy cats" it is reasonable to
assume that good deal Of training"
and guiding may be well done by the
example set them by their elders
rather than by the irritating system Of
''donts" and "spanks" that fill these
small lives to overlooking.
To interest a child in its own ere
form" is to see that reform" more
than half accomplished, and without
battle, murder and sudden death as
en- accompaniment.
In view of this interest l am going
to suggest simple, pleasant and sue
cessful system" of instilling table
manners into the education Of the
average child that was carried on to a
happy issue in a certain family of
my acquaintance.
Each child from the youngest to the
Oldest, was given weekly allowance
ranging from three cents for the
youngest to ten cents for the oldest, Of
II years. For certain things-a
breach of table etiquette, for instance
"a fine was imposed that involved
the grown-ups as we'll as the children.
For each spot on the table cloth a
penny was forfeited; also, for reach
ing across the table for anything, or,
for playing with knife, fork, spoon,
napkin ring, glass or cup. Hands
were supposed to be folded in the lap
when not engaged with knife or fork
in eating.
For any of the above misdemeanors
the grown-ups were expected to pay a
penny all around to the children, but
the children gave up one penny only
If a grown-up CHANGED to upset cup
of tea or coffee the accident was greet
ed with a comical shout of joy upon
the part of the children, for this
meant five cents all around, and young
eyes danced with the prospect of
these riches. Spot pennies" could
be won back by the children for good
behavior between meals, but they
were never excused from paying the
penalty when the occasion arose to
give it. Under the fun an ironclad
rule existed which the little judges
soon learned to recognize and respect,
because it was fair play"
For the sake Of teaching children
familiarity with the nicer table APP
pointments, SO that their parents will
never be mortified when guests are
present and children are expected to
dust their table manners and put
them on for the occasion, whether the
mother has one maid or none, bread
and butter plates, finger bowls and
immaculate linen should be in daily

grown-up children entering a new
world-the enchanted garden of love.
Or like two souls merged into one in
impulse, yet in no wise conscious why
or for what all-wise purpose.
For them alone the sun shone,
birds sang, leaves rustled, flowers
bloomed, and the blue lake rippled.
For them alone was all this charm
ing chance given, with all that made
it enhancing. For them alone was
life, love, and lips that met in ecstasy.
Oh, wondrous beautitude! Oh,
heaven-born joy! oh, divine illusion
that builds the world anew, and build
ing thus, believes it's secret safe!
But Old Cy, wise old observer of all
things human, from the natural at
traction of two children to the philoso-
ply of content. saw and understood.
Not for worlds would he hint this
to Angie or Martin. Full well he knew
how soon this "weavin o. the threads
o. affection" would be frowned upon
by them; but he loved children as few
men do.
This summer-day budding of ro-
nance would end in a few weeks,
these two were happy now-let them
remain so, and perhaps in Chips case
it might prove the one best incentive
to her own improvement.
And now as he watched them day
by day, came another feeling. Home
less all his life so far, and for many
years a wanderer, these two had
awakened the BODYBUILDING impulse
in his. He could not have home
himself, he could only help them to
one in the future, and to that end and
purpose he now bent his thought.
1t was midsummer when Martin and
his party returned to the lake with
Chip. In two weeks the new log
cabin-a large one, divided inc three
Charlevoix county herald., 1907-11-30
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES erected and ready
for occupation.

| compartments-was erected and ready
for occupation.
Working as all the men had done
from dawn until dark to complete
this cabin, no recreation had been
taken by anyone except Ray and
Chip; and now Martin, a keen sports
man, felt that his turn had come.
The trout were rising night and morn
all over the lake, cartridges so tame
that they would scarce fly were as
plenty as sparrows, a half-dozen deer
could be seen any time along the lake
shore-in fact, one had already fur
nished them venison-and SO Martin
now anticipated some relaxation and
sport.
But Fate willed otherwise.
One OF Old Cy's first and most far
sighted bits of work, after being left
with the hermit the previous autumn,
had been the erection of an ice-house
out OF large saplings. 1t stood at the
foot Of high bank on the north Of
the knoll and close to the lake, and
here. out of the sunshine, yet handy
to fill, stood his creation. It's double
walls of poles were stuffed with moss
it's roof chinked with blue clay, a
sliding door gave ingress, and even
now, with summer almost gone, an
ample supply OF ice remained in it.
In the division of duties among
these campers, Levi usually started
the morning fire while Old Cy visited
the ice-house for anything needed. One
morning after the new cabin was COM
pleted, he came here as usual
A fine string of trout caught by Mar
tin and Ray the day before were
hanging IN this ice-house, and secur-
ing what was needed, Old Cy closed
the door and turned away. AS usual
with him, he glanced up and down
the narrow beach to see IL q deer had
wandered along there that morning,
and in doing SO he now saw, close to
the waters edge and distinctly out
lined in the damp sand, the print Of
moccasined foot.
1t was Of extra large size, and as
Old Cy bent over it, he saw it had re-
Gently been made. CHANGING along
toward the head of this cove, he saw
more tracks, and two rods away, the
sharp furrow Of a canoe PROV in the
sand
IT'S that pesky half-breed, sure's a
gum" he muttered, STOPPING over the

CHAPTER lV.-Continued.

Then, Chips presence was an added
danger. If once this brute found that
she was here. there was no limit to
what he would do to secure her and
take revenge. They had struggled her
past Tins Place, but concealment
here was impossible; if ever this half
breed returned, she would be discov-
cred. and then what?
An so by day while Martin and Levi
were busy with hut-buiIding, or beside
the evening campfire when Ray picked
his banjo and Chip watched him with
admiring chances, these two guardians
had eyes and ears ever alert for this
expected enemy.

An enemy We can meet in the open

creeps up to us by day, or still worse
by night, in a vast wilderness, be-
comes a panther and an Indian com.
bined.
Such a one had spied upon Martins
camp that night, and all the tales of
this haif-breeds cunning and fierce
nature, told by Levi, were now re-
called. Like human brute whose
fangs were tobaccostained whose one
evil 'ye glared at them out OF dark
ness, the half-breed had now become
