or their swift race through the forests relieved him of the uncomfortable mental tension under which he began to find himself. During the whole of the day Jackpine urged the dogs al- most to the limit of their endurance and early in the afternoon assured his companion that they would reach the Wekusko by nightfall. It was already dark when they came out of the forest into a broad stretch of cutting, beyond which Rowland caught the glimmer of scattered lights At the farther edge of the clearing the Cree brought his dogs to a halt close to a large log built cabin half sheltered among the trees. It was situated several hun dred yards from the nearest of the lights ahead, and the unbroken snow about it showed that it had not been used as a habitation for some time. Jackpine drew a key from his pocket and without a word unlocked and swung open the heavy door.
 Damp, cold air swept into the faces of the two as they stood for moment peering into the gloom. Rowland could hear the Cree chuckling in his lnimitable way as he struck a match. and as big hanging oil lamp fared slowly into light he turned grinning face to the engineer,
 'Gregson um Thorne-heen mak' thees cabin when first kam to camp" he said softly. ''No be near much noise-f1ne place in woods where be SrL limo then Gregson um Thorne go live in camp. Say too far way from man. But that not so. Thorne 'fraid; Gregson 'fraid."
 He -hunched his shoulders again as he opened the door of the big box stove which stood in the room.
 Rowland asked no questions, but stared about him. Everywhere he saw evidences of the taste and one time tenancies of the two senior engineers.
 Afraid, eh? And am to stayhere"
 "Gregson um Thorne say yes"
 "Well, Jackpine. you just hustle over to the camp and tell Thorne Pm here, will youT'
 For a moment the Indian hesitated, then went out and closed the door after him.
 Rowland lighted a small lamp and opened the door leading into the other room. It was, as he had surmised, the sleeping chamber. The bed. single chair and a mirror and stand were it's sole furnishing.
 Returning to the larger room, he threw off his coat and hat and seated himself comfortably before the fire. Ten minutes later the door opened again and Jackrine entered. He was supporting another figure by the arm, and as Rowland stared into the blood less face of the man who came with him he could not repress the exclama- tion of astonishment which rose to his lips. Three months before he had last seen Thorne in Chicago, man in the prime of life, powerfully built, as straight as a tree, the most efficient and highest paid man in the company's employ. How often had he envied Thorne! For years he had been his ideal of great engineer. And now
 He stood speeches.. Slowly, as if the movement gave him pain, Thorne slipped off the great fur coat from about his shoulders. One of his arms was suspended in a sling. His huge shoulders were bent, his eyes wild and

uf0 pine hearty grip of the hand and the Cree's dark face lighted up with something like pleasure when he saw the enthusiasm in the young engineers eyes. When the moment for parting came Gregson pulled his com panion a little to one side. His eyes shifted nervously and Rowland saw that he was making a strong effort to assume an indifference which was not at all Gregson's natural self.
 'Just word. Rowland" he said. "You know this is pretty rough coun- try up here-some tough people in it, who wouldn't mind cutting a mans throat or sending bullet through him for a good team of dogs and a rife. I'm just telling you this so you'll be on your guard. Have Jackpine watch your camp nights
 He spoke in low voice and cut him. self short when the Indian approached. Rowland seated himself in the middle of the six foot toboggan, waved his hand to Gregson, then with a wild halloo and snapping of his long cari- bou gut whip Jackpine started his dogs on trot down the street, running close beside the sledge.
 Rowland was tired when night came ter for the night, ate a huge supper of moose meat, hot stone biscuits, beans and coffee, and then, just as he had stretched himself out in his furs for the night, he remembered Gregson's warning. He sat up and called to Jack pine. who was putting a fresh log on the. big fire in front of the shelter.
 "Gregson told me to be sure and have the camp guarded at night, Jack pine. What do you think about it?''
 "Gregson-heem yer much 'fraid," he replied. "No bad man here-all down there and in camp. We kep' watch evr' night. Heem 'fraid-I guess so, mebby."
 Afraid of what?"
 the little finger doubled out of sight, and pointed to it with his other hand "Mebby heem finger x'dent-mebby not" he said
 A dozen eager questions brought no further suggestions from Jackpine. In fact, no sooner had the words fallen from the drivers lips than Rowland saw that the Indian was sorry he had spoken then. What he had said strengthened the conviction which was slowly growing within him. He had wondered at Gregson's strange de- meanor, his evident anxiety to get out of the country, and lastly at his desire not to return to the camp on the We kuSkO with him. There was but one solution that came to him. In some way which he could not fathom Gregson was associated with the mystery which en- veloped him, and adding the senior engineers nervousness to the signifi- canoe of Jackpine's words he was con- fident that the missing finger had be- come a factor in the enigma. How should he find Thorne? Surely he would give him an explanation-if there was any explanation to give. Or was it possible that they would leave him without warning to face a situ ation which was driving them back to civilization?
 He went to sleep, giving no further thought to the guarding of the camp. A piping hot breakfast was ready when Jackpine awakened him, and once more the exhilaratin- excitement

State Normal Opens.

Apparently the Itost promising ses
sioa Of the Louisiana State Norma
School opened Tuesday, Sept. IL
with an enrolment of GIG. This is
The largest number Of students ever
matriculated on the first day Of a
tall term at the State Normal. 1t
must be a sourse of considerable sat
isfaction to the true friends of the
Normal School, and particularly to
President v. L. Roy, to know now
that the awful predictions made a
+ lew months ago were merely the
Vagaries of false prophets.
Every reason exists to believe that
the State Normal will enroll more
students as the terms and years 90
by; and that it will, under Mr.. sRoy's
honest and efficient administration
attain to greater heights of useful
ness and service than ever before
The attendance continues to increase
daily, and it is expected will reach
maximum for the term at the end
of the second week.
Il. Fl. Ryan, the capable and we'll
trained head of the teachers train
ing department, who succeeded Chas.
Gott, has been most cordially and
fayorably received by the general
faculty, and particularly the critic
teachers, who are highly pleased over
the selection Of a trained man for
the work.

To Prevent Chinese Floods.

The present flood in the Yangtze
river, in China, with the frightful
loss OF life and property which it
has caused, makes especially timely
the recent action Of the American
Red Cross in sending to China an
expert engineer for the purpose OF
studying the best means of prevent
| ing the floods which repeatedly have
caused such awful devastation in
that country. The engineer, C. D.
Jameson, reached China in July, and
has been given cordial welcome ant
all necessary. assistance by the Chi
nese government. AS Mr.. Jameson
formerly lived sixteen years in
China his familiarity with customs
and conditions gives him a thorough
preparation for his present important
mission
By the terms Of its federal charter
the Red Cross is charged with the
duty Of trying to prevent as well as
relieve distress caused by disasters.
In this instance the salary and tray
cling expenses of Mr.. Jameson are
borne by the Red Cross, while the
Chinese government provides for all
other expenses. Most of the great
Chinese disasters which have so
frequently shocked the world have
been in the form Of floods, or fam
mes resulting from the destruction
# crops by floods. The terrible fam
ne for the relief of whose sufferers
he world was called upon to give
asst winter was caused in this way.
would seem that here is one of
he most striking opportunities ever
fforded for demonstrating the value
f preventive as compared to relief
leasures.
