The lads went up the lake to the

The boys ran to an old hay shed

when completed, will give communica-

great benefit with respect to the drain

commercial interests. The work has

forts to climb a long pair of stairs
bringing nothing but derision from a
large crowd, the animal with a moo
of despair fled in the direction of an
insane asylum.
When a drove of cattle, piloted by q
man on horseback, padded out Broad
way, pedestrians stood open-mouthed
in establishment, as the sight is not
so common as in days gone by. The
prospective steaks and half soles were
orderly except for one white-and-tan
cow
Somebody must have been reading
Upton Sinclair to this gentle kline, be
cause she clearly did not wish to be
killed in a manner that would make
a muss. Near Harvard street the
COW sighted a church and, deploying
from the common herd, started I'D
the steps. The steps are long and not
meant for bovine feet. She stuck her
muzzle against the closed doors and
the sad look in her soft, brown eyes
made the crowd promise themselves
not to eat her.
Her departure had not been noticed
by the chaperOn on horseback. but,
to be on the safe side, the cow vaulted
over low iron fence and landed in
the yard of the pastoral residence.
Her moo then was one of triumph and
the other members of the herd also
clutched at this last straw. They
spread out on the pavement just as
the children of nearby school were
pouring out. The man on horseback
had his own troubles. The children
were squealing and at a respectful
distance there was deep fringe of
grownups.
By dint of much dashing about the
herder got all his drove together ex-
cept the fugitive COW. She dashed
out of the pastors yard and started
on a run for the Newburg insane
asylum, in Bedford avenue.
If the COW contemplated obtaining
a stay of sentence on the ground of
she was doomed to disap.
pointment, as the man on horseback
rounded her up. She took her place
at the head of the line and iourneyed

Lovejoy first determined that his
fellow trapper was alive and then he
set about to care for him. First he
built a rousing fire and when this had
begun to warm the cabin he went to
a grove of spruce nearby and shot a
couple of cartridges. A rabbit was
also knocked over. With this supply
OF provisions and some coffee and

prepared a substantial meal. The prin.

effort to enter the cabin.

KEEN EYE SAVES
LIFE Of TRAPPE2
WOODMAN SEES DEAD ANIMALS
IN TRAPS AND KNOWS SOME
THING is WRONG.
FINDS MAN ILL AND STARVING
Peter Lovejoy Comes on Little Cabin
in Ravine, After Two Days Search,
Where FeIIownnan Is Bedrid-
den with rheumatism.

Woonga, Ont.-That the simple life
is not always simple or filled with I'M
alloyed joy was brought to the atten
ton of Woonga villagers when they
were called upon TO go to Big Cat lake
and bring Eugene Hardy a trapper,
who for nearly three weeks had been
slowly starving because bedridden
with an attack of rheumatism. That
the man is alive to-day is considered
remarkable.
Hardy, who, in spite of his name,
is anything but robust, was found
by a fellow trapper through the
mereSt chance and was then in such
a wasted condition that it was impos-
sible to take him out Of the woods
for six days. BY administering coarse
ridge bones, he finally strengthened
his charge enough to move him over
20 miles of trails on a litter From
that point the trip to civilization was
made by OK and horse teams.
Peter L0vejOy, the WoOdsman who
fortunately came upon Hardy, was
prospecting for new camp when he
discovered traps with dead animals
in them. His experienced eye told
him that the animals had been dead
from one to two weeks and they had
probably been caught some days be-
fore death occurred. The latter fact
was pretty conclusively established
by the wasted condition of the bodies.
LovejOy Immediately deducted that
the owner of the traps had met with
a mishap and he set out to find him.
At the end Of a two days search he
heard a couple of wolves bowling in a
sheltered ravine and little later he
came upon small cabin built against
ledge of rock. There was no indica-
ton of human life about the place
Snow, untracked save by wolves and
other marauders, covered the ground
but a pail turned upside down, showed
that someone had placed it by the
door long after the first snow had
fallen.
When Lovejoy opened the door,
which had been securely caught with
a drop latch, Hardy was seen lying on
his bunk apparently dead. He was
white, emaciated and still. The cabin
itself was in disorder. Most of the
rough furniture had been used for
fuel and broken tables and chairs
lay strewn near the fireplace. Some
potatoe skins and strips of deer hide

The Chase for Titles.

At least so titles, more or less au-

Men Who Think,

When a man makes a serious blum
der or discovers that he has engaged
In an Improbable enterprise, his eX-
cuse is. Il didn't think" He should
have reflected on his enterprise before
engaging in it. 1t is the duty of every
man to think. Thinking is the impor-
tant thing in business. Every man
should take from five to fifty minutes
each day and divorce his mind from
the strenuous activity surrounding
him and devote the time to thought.
The brain is like the muscle; it must
nave exercise, or it becomes fabby.
Cultivate concentration of thought;
study your sphere of usefulness; cut
out the weeds that grow in your brain;
get out Of the mental rut you are in;
stop drifting; keep your brain active.
Men are paid for either what they
mink or what they do with their mus
cles, says the New York Weekly.
Mans muscles have a limit; he can
move just so much matter by physical
force, but by thinking he has unlim-
tied possibilities. The world offers
golden prizes to the man who thinks.
You can cultivate your brain; you can
make it expand. The brain is like a
plant. Nourish it, cultivate it. care for
It,, and it will grow. The man who
thinks is the man VINO succeeds.

he tried to arise he was attacked by
shooting pains in legs and arms, and
it was with great difficulty that he
could prepare his breakfast. He g0I
through with the ordeal after intense
suffering and managed to gather lit
tie wood.
Work was out of the question and
Hardy remained in his bunk for three
days, getting out only to feed himself
and keep the fire burning. All sll!
time the fever kept up and the sup
ply of wood and provisions dimin
ished To make matters worse wolves
put in an appearance and hoWled
about the cabin both day and night,
making it dangerous for Hardy to
creep out for wood.
How the time passed after the first
week he scarcely remembered. He
said that when the wood gave out en-
tirely he managed to break up some
of the furniture by rolling a heavy
rock up an inclined board and letting
it fall on tables and chairs. With the
food gone he resorted to unground
grain, tallow candles and strips of
deer hide boiled in snow water.
Lovejoy saw he could not take the
man out alone, SO after getting sup
plies from his own camp, nine miles
distant, he came here for help. Vol
unteers went into the woods and
Hardy was carried out. He will prob
ahly be able to walk in a month.
