old man and councillor of the Mormons,
who has been spying on him, suddenly

bargains for the ammunition on board

TO show Plum the Mormon town. st,
James. Plum sees the frightened face
Of a young woman In the darkness near
Price's cabin. She disappears, leaving an
.Odor OF lilacs. 1t develops that Plum's
visit to Beaver island Is to demand set
tlcment from the king, Strang, for the

carried him 40 miles, to Little Fork,
In six and one-half hours. When
there is crust on the snow he can
travel anywhere in the open timber
'egardless of roads. He says his
team is worth $500 TO him.
Sometimes he is caught out at night
and is obliged to camp in the woods.
He has a small tent and builds fire
in it, cuts boughs and fixes bed on
the snow, and with dog on each side
of him he sleeps comfortably and with
a conscious security. He feeds the
dogs but once day-at night He
generally shoots a rabbit or two dur
ing the day. Sometimes he cooks a
part of one for himself and gives the
dogs all they can eat of the raw meat.
His territory extends from Duluth
200 miles west, south to Brainerd and
north to the Rainy river. There are
$50 camps in this region.
When the camp breaks in the spring
and the "boys" go to town in search
Of their own ruin III the su;se OF the
only pleasures they know, they find
him waiting for them, watching over
them STILL.
There is no cant or grand stand
ing" about his work. Following his
congregation into the haunts Of their
temptations is simply q part of his
duty as he sees 1t. And the men recog.
nize 1t as such. It does not occur to
them that they are witnessing an ap.
plication Of practical Christianity such
as the modern world seldom sees.
It Ia easy to listen to the tale of the
good Samaritan If you see him exem.
plified before you in the person OF the
man who is telling the story.

PILOT OF THE Pines
breaches to Lumberjacks in
the Timber Region.
Rev. Francis E. Higgins AZ Enan9ei
Who Ministers to q Congregation
of 10000 in $50 Northwest
ern Camps.

Duluth, Minn---Pastor Of the Par
ism of the Pines" is the Rev. Francis
e. Higgins, an evangel, who ministers
to the spiritual and often the tenn
poral wants of congregation of thir-
ty thousand, and yet has no church.
He is the original of Norman Dun
cans stories OF the Northwest His
followers, are lumberjacks and his
parish comprises the vast timber
lands of the Northwest, which he
traNerses with dcg-drawn sledge.
How he breaches in the language OF
the woods and how he practices mus
cular Christianity are told here.
The Rev. Francis +. Higgins, who
goes into the woods to preach to men.
is a man first and a preacher after
ward. He is Higgins. just plain ilig-
gins, to the saloon keepers he has put
out of business and the councils he
has awakened TO their duty out in the
numbering towns of the Great Lakes.
But to his parishioners, the men who,
cut the timber, he is the Pilot" He
has no church. His sermons are
preached in the low, dimly lighted
clubhouse OF the camp. with its dou-
BILE tier of straw-iilled hunks and its
rcdhot stove, around which hang the
half dry 'mackinaws" and mittens OF
the men. And with blanket covered
barrel for his pulpit the Pilot breaches
in the lingo of his hearers. Perhaps
it is the story OF the Prodigal Son.
He got tired of living at home with
the old man, boys, so he packed his
turkey and went out TO blow his stake.
Where did he land? You know. He
ended in the snake room. And there
the old man found him and took him
home and sobered him up"

timent are conserving the forests
Higgins, single-handed, is conserving
the lumberjacks. He has no church.
but he has a congregation of 10000

The missionary travels ali over the
timber region of Minnesota with his
team of dogs. Although Higgins is d

.There-through that door," she
urged
The slowly ascending steps were
half way up the stairs. Nathaniel hes
itated. He knew that a moment be-
fore there had passed through that
door one who carried with her the
odor of lilac and his heart leaped to
It's own conclusion who that person
was He had heard the rustic of the
girls skirt He had seen the last
inch Of the door close as Strang's wife
pulled it after her And now he was
imploreG to follow! He sprang for
ward as the heavy steps neared the
landing His hand was upon the latch
and bent his head close down to the
girl.
NO. I won't do it, my dear" he
whispered. Just now it might make
trouble for-her."
He lifted his eyes and saw a man
looking at him from the doorway. He
needed no further proof to assure him
that this was Strang, the king OF the
Mormons, for the Beaver island
prophet was painted we'll in that re-
gion which knew the grip and terror
OF his power. He was a massive man.
with the slow slumbering strength OF
beast, He was not much under
fifty; but his thick beard, reddish and
eTinkln5, his shaggy hair, and the full
fed ruddiness of his face, with it's
foundation of heavy jaw, gave him a
more youthful appearance. There was
in his eyes, set deep and so light that
they shone like pale blue glass, the
staring assurance that is frequently
born OF power. In his hand he car
ried huge metalknobbed stick.
In an instant Nathaniel had recov-

"Ah!"
The king drew his right foot back

Nathaniel saw only the crown of his
hat When he raised his head the
aggressive stare had gone out Of his
eyes and a welcoming smile lighted
up his face as he advanced with eX-
