she had not been able TO bear it. She
had wandered half craZed with grief
and shame Into blizzard and she had
died in the swirling snow. Her half
brother. Jules Beaubien, a splendid
young French Canadian. only learned
of Annette's existence when her father
was on his dcathbed. The young man
is left heir tc a big fortune and i'm
mediately starts i'll search of his little
sister with the idea of educating her
and surrounding her life with Injuries.
He traced the child to her home only
to discover the frightful death which
she had suffered because of McDon-
aids treacheTy. He meets Baptiste
LeGrand. the girls clean-hearted lover,
who was to have married her, but it
was while LeGrand, was away in the
north working for the Hudson Bay
company that Mcdonald appeared and
with his suavities and worldliness mis-
led the simple girl into believing thai
his love was honest and that he meant
to marry her Jules and Baptiste have
been hunting this man for two years
Jules by arJful talk in which he causes
Mcdonald to believe that he. also is a
libertine, has got from McDonald's
own lips the pitiful story of Annette
There is further situation that makes
Jules anger against Mcdonald rise
even up to the white heat that it has
always been. Jules is in love with
Hilda, and it is plain that Mcdonald
| is seeking TO injure this girl-woman as
| he did little Annette. He has filled
| her head with fascinating stories of the
beauty of life in the great cities-the
operas. theaiers, handsomes1 gowns,
giittering jewels. This is the situa-
ton, and how it all works out forms
l a theme of human interest from which
I the attention of the audience cannot
be diverted while it works before their
eyes to its tragic end, and this emu
furnishes, SO it is said. one of the
most tremendous emotional scenes
ever presented on any stage.
| At the FamiIy.-Ollie Young and his
three brothers, diabolo players and
hoop rollers, are the features in the

the new game, "diabolo,' which is
quite the rage in England. Ed anG

Men who know have said that
they would not give cent for a
city out of debt. The reason is
there are always pressing needs
that can be paid for afterwards
as well as before, and better, be-
cause if there are no debts to be
paid there will be no money ac-
cumulated.
In the first place, there is al
ways class who do not want to
pay any taxes. If this class
cannot be overcome by the more
progressive then you had just as
well quit. The next thing is to
vote bonds for your improve
mentS. This does not mean that
any money is to be wasted or
spent for things we do not need.
But where the need is pressing,
don't let us be afraid of under
taking large things.
There have been many diSas-
trouS fires this year. Towns all
around us and towns all over the
country have suffered heavy loss
eS. running sometimes into the
hundreds of thousands. Some
day our turn will come and we
will have no equipment with
which to combat the fire tiend.
a system of water works would
remedy this. The simplest OF
fire equipments could be secur-
ed TO start with and additions
made later.
Not only that, but waterworks
would be a good thing for the
town outside of fire protection.
In many places wells cannot be
secured. and when they can they
are not always as satisfactory as
WaterworkS. OF course we
could not get out and make up
enough money to put in water
works. but the city could do It.
Many other towns are doing il.
