and advertising matter this material
is claimed to cause stumps to rot
completely within thirty days, if mere

"Many day and night have followed
the trail of the moose with nothing on
my feet but pair of wooden socks and
pair of tennis slippers, related the
hunter when Wilkie startled every
one by the wager; "Ill bet you So you
can't walk TO the corner in your bare
feet.
Toay looked at his audience some
what abashed Without a word, as if
his reputation was at stake, he walked
to the hotel counter and cashed a check
for So Returning to his seat he began
taking off his shoes.
The stakes having been put up, the
undaunted story-teller, accompanied by
full dozen men, sailed out of the front
door. The story Of the incident is told
best in the following sentences of some
Of those witnessing the affair:
"He did not run once, but he made

into the snow and we slipped "

form of the Knipp treatment.

Wake was still standing with the
letter In his hand. looking after
Ethel, when he awoke to the
realization of what her words
meant to him. She had given her
promise, and she did not mean that
anything In the world should make
her revoke it. That promise was sacred
to her. just as If it had been spoken
before q clergyman.
In bis heart Pike knew he. would
have to give in If he was to make her
happy, and yet he knew that in max.
ing her temporarily happy he would
be making her eternally miserable. If
he could have the strength to hold
out against her and refuse to sanction
the marriage he knew the crew Of
aristocrats would never accept her
without the cash. and that by the
terms of John Simpsons will could
never be theirs without his consent
OF his own hopes he could see but
the faintest glimmertng. He had IT.
retrievably offended the girl, and she
would hate him all her life for It, he
feared. His entrance into her new
phase Of life had been unfortunate.
His continuance in it was little else
than an insult, according to her way
Of thinking. And jim Cooley, whom
he had trusted to find the flaw in the
Hawcastle escutcheon that he knew
had existed, had failed him miserably.
The lawyer felt that he was a long
way from home. He sighed and turned
to where the sun was sinking in a
haze Of red across the bay: Then he
heard the voice of Horace and chin
ing with it the cultured accents of
Lord Hawcastle. Apparently they
were coming to seek him She had
reiterated his refusal.
Yearly he turned again to the au-
tomobile and leaned against 1t. As he
did so he heard Horace say.
'But Ethel says Mr.. Pike positively
refuses" =
In return he heard Hawcastle reply;
"Leave him to me. In ten minutes
he will be as meek as lamb"
oDumbly Pike wondered what frest
argument the earl had to offer and
mentally steeled himself against it
As he looked up he encountered. the
steady glare Of the earl. 49,.
