We'll. don't take it to heart. You
gy laughed.
But l do take it to heart, Peggy,
said Monty seriously. I'm pretty hare
hit and l want your help. A sisters
advice is always the best in a matter
of this sort"
She looked into his eyes duly for ar
instant, not realizing the full import
ance of his confession.
You Monty?" she said incredulous-
ly.
i've got it bad, Peggy" he replied
staring hard at the floor. She could
not understand the cold gray tone that
suddenly enveloped the room. The
strange sense of loneliness that came
over her was ineXplicable. The little
something that rose in her throat
would not be dislodged, nor could she
throw off the weight that seemed press
ing down upon her. He saw the odd
look in her eyes and the drawn, uncer-
tain smile on her lips, but he attribut-
ed them to wonder and incredulity
Somehow after all these years he was
transformed before her very eyes. She
was looking upon a new personality
He was no longer Montgomery the
brother, but she could not explain how
and when the change crept over her
What did it all mean? Il am very
glad if it will make you happy, Mon
ty," she said slowly, the gray in her
lips giving way to red once more
Does she know?"
"I haven't told her in so many
words, Peggy, but-but I'm going to
this evening"" he announced lamely.
This EVENING""
II can't watt" Monty said as he rose
to go. I'm glad you're pleased, Peg
gy. l need your good wishes. And
Peggy" he continued, with touch OF
boyish wistfulness, "do you think
there's chance for a fellow? I've had
the very deuce Of a time over that
Englishman."
1t was not quite easy for her to say:
Monty, you are the best in the world
Go in and win"
From the window she watched him
swing off down the street, wondering
if he would turn to wave his hand to
her, his custom for years. But the
broad back was straight and uncom-
promising. His long strides carried
him swiftly out Of sight, but it was
many mintues before she turned her
eyes, which were smarting, a little
from the point where he was lost in
the crowd. The room looked ashen to
her as she brought her mind back to
Il, and somehow things had grown diff
ferent.
When Montgomery reached home he
found this telegram from Mr.. Jones:
Montgomery Brewster, New York City:
Stick to your knitting, you fool.

SILENCE FOLLOWED DUTY
Horse Thieves Gone
B'GOsh.

In the fall of 1863 the people living in
Mount Pleasant neighborhood, in Kansas,
had many horses stolen, and for q long
time they were unable to locate the thieves.
One day a posse of men traced the stolen
horses to the farm Of an old Frenchman
named Luzatter, who in the spring of that
year had rented a farm near that neighbor-
hood.
Luzatter was taken to Kickapoo for trial
by Judge Lynch, and the old Masonic hall
at that place was used as a court house
S. d. d. Smith, who now lives at Atchison,
was appointed to defend Luzatter, but not
withstanding his plea for the life of the
man the neighbors decided to hang the
Fienchman unless he told who composed
the gang of thieves. This he refused to-do,
and a, rope was procured, put around his
neck, and the body lifted from the floor.
After the first the Frenchman told who
the thieves were, and he was released. A
committee was appointed by the court to
pursue the thieves and dispose of them.
The committee was gone a week, and
when it returned all questions as to what
Il did with the thieves were met with
silence. Mount Pleasant was never bothered
again with horse hieves.-Potter Kansan.

LAW IN THE WILDERNESS
What An officer of Canada Mounted
Police stands for In Remote
sections.

-
An officer of the mounted police of
CaLada Northwest is not an exponent of
the law; he is the law itself. When he
rides his cayuse TO foothlll camp or threads
on snowshoes the worn north trails Of the
rrapper, he goes clad with the authority
OF courts. He preserves order, but he also
makes arrests; he tries offenders in his
own courts, and then escorts the man upon
whom sentence has fallen to a prison OF
His own making, where the culprit may
be incarcerated for ten days or thirty years.
Back Of that slight, silent, steel-neryed
rider is the strong arm of England and
the whole of Canadian Jurisprudence, ana
when he speaks, it is as one with authority.
In extreme cases, when the death penalty
has to be enforced, one MOUNTED policeman
may have to act as clergyman, executioner
aud coroner.
"AIl this 1 swear without an mental
evasion, equivucation or secret reservation,
So help me, God'-with these impressive
words do raw recruit and grizzled soldier
enter the service of the mounted police and
swear fidelity to his majesty Edward VII.
L. Is not prospective wealth that tempts a
man to become al empire builder in this
reunited force Of greater Canada, FOR hard
Is its service, poor its payment"
The newly recruited constable gets 60
cents a day, his term OF engagement Is five
years, and he may look forward to re-en-
gagement on a second term, with a staff
sergeants pay Of 81 to S1,D a day to work
I'D to. Recruits must be between the ages
of q and 40, active men OF thoroughly sound
constitution and possessed Of certificates OF
exemplary character. They must be able
to read and write in either English OF
French, understand horses, ride well, meas
ure up 10 the minimum height Of five feet
eight inches, have a chest measurement Of
thirty five inches, weight not over r6
pounds, and be unencumbered with a wife.

EXAMINES PEARYS RECORDS
President of Arctic Club Goes Over
Explorers Data.

Bar Harbor, Me-, Sept 25,--General
Thomas III, Hubbard president of the
Peary Arctic club, has examined the
data and observations of Commander
Robert Il. Peary's dash to the pole.
General Hubbard also looked into the
information which Commander Peary
has obtained on the question, HAS
Cook been at the pole?"
The examination is preliminary to
a conference here Monday or Tuesday,
when Commander Peary probably will
submit further records and supply any
needful information not contained in
the rough draft of his preliminary re-
ports.
The course likely to be pursued by
Commander Peary is to proceed with
the development of his own scientific
data and it's submission to the neces-
saTy scientific bodies to prove his
finding of the pole without regard to
any question of whether DR.. Cook has
been to the pole.

Norwegian Vessel Founders
Off Atlantic Coast.
SIX men ESCAPE DEATH

Manage to Reach Lightship Of Cape
Henlopen, Where They Must Await
Better Weather Before They Can Be
Taken Off-News of the Disaster
Brought to Baltimore by Passing
Steamer.
Baltimore, Sept. 2S,-Six survivors
out of crew of eighteen of a Nor
wegian steamer are aboard Winter
Quarter lightship, the remaining
twelve men having perished, accord
ing to a report made by Captain Del
ano of the steamer Porto Rico, which
arrived here from New York. The
vessel foundered nine miles northeast
of the lightship.
Captain Delano stated that as the
Porto Rico was passing Winter Quar-
ter light a signal was seen flying from
the lightship. A heavy northeast wind
prevailed. He ordered his ship to run
close to the light station and when as
near as consistent with safety an at
tempt was made to communicate by
megaphones.
1t was difficult work with the wind
whistling about the superstructure of
the ships, but enough was learned to
realize that a ship had foundered.
The captain of the lightship said that
there were aboard his vessel six sur
vivors from the i'll fated ship and
asked that they be taken off If possi-
BILE. Captain Delano considered the
matter carefully and decided that it
would be tempting death again to try
to make the transfer under the
weather conditions prevailing.
