were pinned to it and crossed each other

NANY a pupil engaged in the study
IME Of the geography of our country
I'VE has observed the anomalous shape
ES&y5N of the northern boundary OF the
V6S8$N State Of Minnesota.
The boundary between the Unit
ed States and the Dominion of Canada fol-
lows the forty-ninth parallel of north latitude
from the Pacific coast until It reaches the
Lake Of the Woods, on the northern border
of the State mentioned, when it makes right
angle and runs twenty-five miles or more to
the north. to a monument erected at the
northwest corner Of that lake, cutting on
point Of land which seems properly to belong
to our northern neighbour and to which the
United States cannot have access by land
without crossing British territory.
From the monument the line drcfs into an
irregular course southeasterly through the
Lake of the Woods and a series of small
rivers and lakes into Lake Superior through
the middle of which and the sister great
lakes it reaches the ST. Lawrence River and
the forty-ifth parallel of latitude.
The intelligent pupil has wondered why
this jog was made--why the, boundary ran
across that lake for the apparent purpose OF
land, and why the British Government allow
ed our government to capture it. Perhaps
the pupil has asked his teachers or parents
about it, and very probably was made no
wiser by asking the question.
AT the close of wars between nations
treaties are entered into for the rectifcation
OF boundaries, settlement of the costs of the
struggle, and other points in dispute, usually
greatly to the advantage of the victors; so.
at the close of the American war for indie
pendence, our country and Great Britain by
treaty confirmed in 1882 entered into an
agreement, by which, among other things,
our boundaries were defined

running down his cheeks
For a few moments he could not speak.
Then he said. in voice quivering with emo
ton:
"Rob, my son, l used to look upon you
as a failure, but mere strength is not every
thing. You are a grand success"
While Rob was relating his experience,
Rocky Mountain approached the house, and
the day was one of joy and thanksgiving
Henry soon recovered from his timidity,
and he and Rob traversed the little clearing
But the contented white pig and the busy hens
had lost their charms in great measure for the
young. journalist. His. mind was back in
the city, and his visit home was brief
Every year he spends his vacation with his
parents in the wildwood, who, thanks to his
loving kindness, are placed above the reach
Of want, and Hugh Archer is himself once
more.
Rob has outstripped Mr.. Smith in advance
ment, and the managing editor declares that
the Recorder would be lost without the pres
ence Of the talented young man who has risen
to position of trust and comparative wealth.

are reasonably. sure to come down the middle
of the stream"
The boat moved much more freely than it's
very few minutes we were gliding along the
shore of the island, under the shadow Of the
overhanging trees.
Up to this time we had not formed any
plan Of attack. We were unarmed ourselves,
and the tramps had Jacks gun, but, for
tunately, without any ammunition. But they
might have other weapons, and the reflection
was not pleasant one.
Here we are at the point of the island"
said Tom; pull hard on your oar"
Tom had spoken little too late, for the
current suddenly became. swift, and carried
us clear past the point before l could head
the boat around
"Pul with all your might" he shouted
"That's it. Now little to the left
Then his voice died away in frightened
whisper, and, glancing around, l saw the
stolen canoe shooting right toward us from
the. other side Of the island.
The Duke was padding and Bristles was
sitting behind him
We discovered each other at the same mo-
ment. and the Duke, with a shout of alarm,
tried to back water.
1t was too late. Our boat was almost on

We struck the canoe broadside, with ter
rife crash, and over it went in less time than
you could wink an eye. The. scoundrels ut,

crashing through the underbrush in their
fight.
The danger of second attack was very

ly slowed away in the matches. Even the ex-
ira paddles and the fishing rods had been
taken apart and fastened to the sides OF the
cockpit.
The gunwale had received the full force of
the collision, so that the canoe was in every
respect Just as good as ever.
We took the boat back where it belonged,
and then started for camp, in the canoe.

in the vicinity; so have no doubt they
reached the mainland without difficulty. We
kept a sharp lookout during the remainder
of our cruise, but did not receive another
visit from the Duke and his valet Bristles.
I still have to laugh sometimes when
think how cleverly the rascal planned that
midnight raid-perfecting himself in the use
of the paddle with our permission and before
our very eyes.
