 While trying to reload and row at the same time. says Traps" he drop ped his gun overheard and it went to the bottom. Marking the spot where the weapon went down by associating the location with a fallen tree on the shore nearby he seized both oars and gained rapidly on the injured animal When he reached it he made a slip threw 1t about the great, spreading antlers. This done, he attempted to tow his quarry ashore by backing up the boat, but the frightened beast pull ed him rapidly down stream.
 The rapidity of the current increased and soon Traps" was terrified to hear the sound of the falls. His most des- perate efforts availed nothing against the current and the frenzied animal. Having no knife, he attempted to un- tie the line from his craft but it was water soaked and his trembling fingers could do nothing with 1t.
 The cry of the falls came nearer and nearer and the boatman had given him f,p I,- ,I, (, struck bottom.
 After some stumbling the beast braced himself and walked to a little island about five feet in diameter, com posed of rock, and rising in the center of the river ten feet from the edge of the falls Traps" boat swting around over the falls, the stern projecting over about three feet. The moose braced his feet against the pull, fearful of being swept from his point of vantage.
 Seeing that his preseryer could not hold out much longer against growing weakness and continued loss of blood, Traps began cautiously to pull his boat to the little island, hand over lduu. ue HlOOSe lDDheu Ou lue up- preaching enemy with terror, trem- bling visibly. When Traps" was with in four feet of terra tirma he sprang from the boat and after a scramble succeeded in getting to temporary safe ty, wondering the while whether or not the moose would gore him to death in revenge. But his fears were ground less, for the animal, in a frenzy be- cause of his nearness, sprang into the swift current, and moose, tow line and boat went over the falls
 Traps had been on his little isl and without food for three days when he was discovered by passing hunters who tioated him a line from a safe distance and he was dragged ashore He recovered his boat and the dead moose entangled in the branches of q fallen tree eight miles down stream two days after his release, and has brought the antlers to Winnepeg as a souvenir of his wonderful experience Exchange.

An automobile ran over and killed a dog. It was an unavoidable accident but instead of hurrying away, or even making a careless offer of bank note, the owner stopped the car, had in- quiries made, mingled her tears with those of the children who had lost their pet, and when she returned home sent them a sympathetic letter, together with valuable dog of the same breed as theirs. The incident happened in England, and the woman who gave to motorists this lesson in courtesy and good feeling is the Princess of Wales.

 And that is?' interrupted Roys eagerly.
 "yery, very simple-some men would say I conferred the favor-that you take me to Sunday morning service at | the cathedral"
 Conway Roys hesitated. Eight years previously he would have jumped at the opportunity. But now Kitty Bevis was undeniably handsome. but she had paid one of the penalties of popularity, and-well, a lot of unkind things had been said about her. She was known from end to end of the country, and society in cathedral cities is not to be trifed with. He hesitated moment, and then, accepting the chal- lenge with good grace, replied. T shall | be delighted: the honor Is undoubtedly mine. May presume on our old friend ship and ask how may I expect you to be dressed?"
 Kltty's cup went on to the table rather emphatically. You do presume, Conway. I shall be dressed precisely as my fancy dictates.

Sud denly he caught sight of the disturber of his peace of mind. "Ye gods - thought Conway. "Lyncester would never finish smiling" A perambulating rainbow floating towards him smiling. No portion of Kitty's form capable of sustaining jewelry had been neglected. Bond street appeared to have been pos itiyely flung at her. Conway almost gasped as he took her hand. You said.

Perhaps it was the sunshine, perhaps the presence of the woman anyway, Conway Roys was youth again. The old fascination had as. serted itself He wanted Kitty, her only and for always. Suddenly he said: Kitty, It's long time since made love- I'm afraid I've forgotten how. Another thing, 1t used to be easy to tell a woman you loved her. never tried asking one to marry me. Will you?"
