which was worse than ever for the other
;wo hours Of the journey.
This touching tale will include no de-
scription of the scenery along the road.
The Tramp had something else to do
besides gaze at scenery. Also, there
wasn't much that day, for the mist and
rain were too dense.
Rest assured that a clean, dry little
camp looked pretty good to water
soaked sojourner about $3.50 that after
noon. Even though it's limited outfit
did not include fireplace where the
great fire could up the chimney roar, it
did include good cooking-stove, and be-
hind was a woodbox heaped with dry
wood.
Just at the end Of the journey the
clouds almost broke away, and it really
looked as If the sun would come out.
And the Tramp was somehow reminded
of the remark of character in a book
recently read, "It's hell to live all win
Ter and die in the springP But there
was more rain later, to add to the COM
fort within.
The Tramp unpacked his bundle, got
his boat out of winter quarters and into
the water, brought two or three pals OF
water from the pond and pail from the
spring, and made everything snug. By
The time the tank on the stove was full
of hot water an outfit of dry clothes, q
little out of style for the city but entire
ly comfortable, had been got together
from about the camp, and in a short
time, while hot bath was in progress,
the soaked clothing was hanging around
and above the stove, beginning the
process of drying out.

cup of coffee, then an easy chair, pipe

pain without whimper.
The sound of the carriage wheels
grew fainter and fainter.
The little captain had been looking
the other way and had not seen the
accident, so Max was left where be
lay, bruised. wounded and powerless to
move, with not a friend in sight.
One man, as he walked along
thought of poor Max lying there on
his face in the dust, with the hot sun
beating down upon his faded red coat,
and he almost wished he had stopped
to help him. He could not go back,
because he was In hurry. but by and
by. after he had walked long way
and saw carriage standing empty
under a tree. with Beda reading on n
bench and the little captain playing
on the ground. he suddenly thought
again Of Max and said: Madam. ]
wonder If the little boy has lost doll.
I noticed red dressed doll lying Oh
the crossing back here"
Then there was a great search and
no little soldier to be found. and the
little captain began to cry. because he
was very fond Of Max. and Beda put
him quickly into the carriage and be-
gan to run back along the walk as fast
as she could 90, with the carriage
humping and jumping and humping.
All this time the little red soldier had
lain where he fell, unable to breathe.

BILE was so loud that Max could moi
hear anything else, and the rail began
to sing and tremble. so that his head
shook up and down.
1t seemed as If nothing could save
him, when suddenly he felt himself
lifted up and up. high in the air, and
the dust was brushed from his face
and the sun shone once more In his
blue eyes. Then he was thrust straight
into the pocket Of the jumper Of the
big workingman who had rescued
him, and only his head and shoulders
stuck out. And the workingman laugh
ed all to himself and strobe away with
long steps.
And all at once there were the little
captain. still crying, and Beda and the
carriage. And the workingman laugh
I'd again and put Max into the cap

was very narrow escape and that

careful about the street crossings.

such a strange thing.
The little captain was very glad, and
he did not put Max on duty at all that

At early daylight the next morning
the Tramp awoke and from bis cot look
ed out across the pond. The clouds
were breaking overhead, and against the
face of the mountains opposite we're
floating masses of mist, touched by the
rising sun and transformed into amber
and gold. But it's best not to try a de-
scription of the scene, for 1t must be
woefully lacking. Shagg Pond is not
among real mountains, it's only big hills
that are around It; but you see many
sights such as belong to real mountains,
and one Of those mornings at Shagg Ia
thing to remember. !
The day was beautiful. OF course the
Tramp went fishing. But there can't be
much said about the results, for they
And the water was too high, and the

flowers, and the green leaves OF spring

A Fascinating Drama.

The peopling of the great Canadian
West is a fascinating drama, whether we
view it from the large or the small end
of the telescope-i.e., from the point OF
the great railroad builder throwing a
steel spine across the continent, or from
the point of one little family unit finding
its tree farm under the egis of this
transportation line.
The line of the Grand Trunk Pacific
across Canada Is essentially the belt OF
homes. Who is it that answers the call
of the wheat? The young. the brave, the
hopeful, the helpful, says Miss Agnes
Dean in the March issue or the "Masa-
zine of Commerce" The writing tooiS
to write the drama are the strong arms
of men and Of faith possessed women.
1t is good play for the world to watch.
The first scene is enacted on the prairiA
farm where the virgin sod is turned

battle line of the loyal legions-and the
disloyal as well-from 81 to '65, was q
concentrated voice of command saying
"Lst my people goH II was command
that muse be obeyed, and was O6eyed at
last to the saving OF the nation.
Aud now it is up 10 the redeemed
nation to make good, to treat his people
white and right, holding in everlasting
remembrance the fact that, though de-
laying long, justice is neither dead nor
asleep, but is very much alive, and Is In
the habit of getting there on time, on
schedule time, not necessarily on our
time, our schedule time, you understand.
AS he does his will in the armies of
heaven and among the children of men,
it is easy to believe that his will was
done when he gave you Appomatox and
victory, and il is easy to believe that he
was very much pleased with the way and
manner in which you acted the part as
signed you in the great tragedy, and that
he dismissed you with benediction,
with a: well done, good and faithful
servanim
Servants? Yes. Faithful? Yes, in
that you shot straight and shot to kill.
Without the shedding of blood there is
no remission of sins. Without the shed
ding of blood there was no remission of
the sin of slavery, and so the blood was
shed. And that's all right, but rough.
Perhaps you may have noticed that
several things have arisen above the
horizon since Time" was in his teens,
that are open to the objection of rough
nes>; one of which you shot full of holes
till it collapsed and disappeared alto
gether, never to come back any more.
Aud now sit up and take notice OF
another that has not disappeared, but
shows up in spots, rough and ragged and
vile. A white slavery where girls dis
appear under the lure, into compelled
bondage, never to come back any more,
that the dealers in lust may clutch a
dirty damnable dollar, and the heavens,
as yet, have not rained down fire and
birthstone on our Sodom by the lake, on
our Sodom by the sea. o, the shedding
of blood is pleasant pastime, genuine
Joy in comparison.
Ii is common talk that brother
Pharaoh led strenuous life and an evil
one, but Justice overlook him at last,
and he caught it in the neck and was
hustled out of existence in short order,
for an offense similar 10 our own. And
that's all right, too. o, there is no safety
whatever in trampling on the image OF
God in the hearts and the lives of men,
white, black or brown. There is sure to |
be- a recoil some time, somew here, some |
how. And that's all right, too.

Around my cot, In stately grace.
Their branches towering high.
Through sun and storm the naples stand
And wintry blasts defy.

When summer days are here;

With every passing year.
But one. more dear than all the rest,
Stands by the grassy lane,
Whose whispering leaves q story tell
That's filed with grief and pain.
A story that shall bring to mind
A season long gone by,
And stir In many heart some sad
And tender memory.
When war clouds lowered DER the land,
And dangers threat ming lay,
Twas planted by soldiers hand
Before he marched away.
No drawer heart than his e'er beat
Beneath the loyal blue;

More worthy, grand and true.

OF manhood's early years,
Leaving the friends he dearly loved
In sadness and In tears.

Fer needing duty's call.

The buden and the toll.
