In the snow, when the man whose
tracks the warden was following made
his way out across a pond which was
covered with crust it was another mat
ter. The snowshOes made no track and
the only way that the trail could be
seen was for the warden to get down
on his knees and look across the crust.
In this way he could see a slight i'm
preston made by the shoes on the
handsled which the other man was
hauling after him.
Capt. Pollard was two days on the
trail after finding the deer skin, and
eventually came out on the Blithen
road, about eour miles from Foxcroft,
after which the rest was easy. On
searching Louis house he found some
veniscn, AMI then he and Louis made
joint trip over to the municipal
court. where Louis was subjected to
the isnominy of parting with 40 of his
hard-earned dollars. 1t is said, how

Sitting, the half-wited violin maker, Is
touching character. Several songs
evidently favoriteS of Miss Harraden's
are introduced throughout the story.
The crisis of the plot itself is safely
passed through the broadening and
healing power of music, which Miss
Harraden describes in the most musical
language. The very vividness of the
description is brought about not by
SenSuous suggestion, but, as we should
expect from the true musician, by the
deeper meaning. We can almost hear

her husband, a Boston painter, took her

there they have made not only home
for themselves, but a special place in
the heart of the FlorentineS, who love
them, honor them, confide in them, and

intermssion, has delighted the hearts
of thousands of readers of tThe Wire

of the story transpires aboard United

The plot centers around one of those
mushroom like South American revo-
