He shrugged his shoulders and start
ed the dogs into a trot.
Look here" cried Rowland. running
beside him. 'Who is with this other
sledge?'
Those who tried TO kill you on the
trail and al the coyote. M'seur," he
answered quickly.
Rowland fell half a dozen PAGES be-
hind. BY the end OF the first hour he
was compelled to rest frequently by
taking to the sledge, and their progress
made answer to his occasional ques-
tons. Doggedly he swung on ahead
to the right and a little behind the
can leader. and Rowland could
see that for some reason Croisset was
as anxious as himself to make the
best time possible. His own impa-
tience increased as the morning length
ened. Jeans assurance that the mys-
FERROUS enemies who had twice at
tempted his life We're only a short dis
lance behind them. or a short distance
ahead, set a new and desperate idea al
work in his brain. He was confident
that these men from the Wekusko We're
his chief menace. and that with them
onee out of the way, and with the
! Frenchman in his power. h fight
which he was carrying into the enemy
country would be half won. There
! would Their be no one 10 recognize him
but Meleese.
His heart leaped it'll joyous hope,
and he leaned forward on the sledse
to examine Croisset's empty gun. 1t
was an automatic, and Croisset. glane-
ing back over the looping backs of the
huskies, caught him smiling. He ran
more frequently now, and longer dis
tances. and with the passing OF each
mile his determination to strike a de-
cisive blow increased. If they reached
the trail of Meleese and Jackpine be-
fore the crossing of the second sledgc
he would lay in wait for his old enc
mics: if they had preceded them lie
would pursue and surprise them in
camp. In either case he would possess
an overwhelming advantage.
With the same calculating attention
TO detail tina he would have shown in
the arrangement of plans for the
building of a tunnel or a bridge, he
drew a mental map of his scheme and
its possibilities. There would be at
least two men with the sledge. and pos
sibly three. If they surrendered at tha
point of his rifle without a fight he
would compel lean to tie them up with
dog-traces While he held them under
cover. If they made a move to offer
resistance he would shoot. With the
automatic he could kill or wound the
three before they could reach their
rifles. which would undoubtedly be on
the sledge. The situation had now
reached q point where he no longer
took into consideration what these men
might be TO Meleese.
As they continued into the northwest
Rowland noted that the thicker
forest was gradually clearing into
wide areas of small banskian
pine, and that the rock ridges
and dense swamps which had
impeded their progress we're becoming
less numerous. An hour before noon,
after a tedious climb to the top of a
frozen ridge, Croisset pointed down into
a vast level plain lying between them
and other great ridges far to the north.
THAT is a bit Of the Barren Lands
that creeps down between those noun

CONSTANT READER.
To clean the marble-topl tables use
oxalic acid, a teaspoonfuI to a cup of
water. If this does not do make q
paste with finely powdered pur1aice
stone and lemon juice and allow 1t to
stand a few hours. Then rub 1T over
the marble and allow it to dry before
washing off. Perhaps the quicksilver
has worn off the back of the mirror,
which would give it the appearance of
being covered with white spots. II
this Ia not the case the whiting ought
to remove the spots. You might try
keeping the brushes in alcohol, but
the turpentine Is as good as anything.
Use turpentine to thin the varnish.
Hot water made your g'oves yell

A Domino Dance.
Dear Margery Doom;

Kindly explain the meaning OF a
domino dance and the costumes that
should be worn at such an affair for a
Young lady. Please reply as soon as
possible. Thanking you for same ] re-
main, PHEBE.
A domino dance differs from a mas
querade or fancy dress dance from the
fact that the guests wear either black
or white, and instead of false faces a
paper-muslin mask that covers the
eyes. Your costume need not be g
pensiye, but can be made of paper
muslin, or you can wear a sheet and q
pillow case, cutting holes in the pillow
case for your eyes.

A State Flower.

My Dear Margery Doom:
Can you tell me whether New York
State has a State flower. and what it
is, and also whether New Jersey has
a State flower and what 1t is? Thank

PROGRESSIVE.
The rose has been adopted as the
State flower by New York, and the tree
chosen is the maple. AS yet there is
no flower for New Jersey. The wom-
ems clubs in this State are agitating
the question of the mountain laurel for
a national flower. but the State has
no distinctive emblem.

HORSE EXHIBITORS APPEAL
Call Upon Railroad Comm ssion for
for Same Shipping Rate to Fairs
as Given Other Live Stock.

Milwaukee.-An appeal has been
made to the state railway commits
sion Jointly by the state board of
agriculture and the breeders and ex-
hibitors of horses at state and coun-
ty fairs in Wisconsin t. relieve them
of alleged discrimination made by
the railroads in rates charged for
horses sent for exhibition purposes
to state and county fairs.
The railroads of Wisconsin charge
2 one-way rate on cattle, hogs and
sheep when sent as exhibits for
county fairs, state fairs, cattle shows,
cattle sales, etc. The usual course
of procedure is to charge full rate
for each head of cattle, sheep or
swine exhibit and return the herds
to their place of shipment free.
A meeting of leading horse breed
ers may be held here to adopt plans
for inducing the railroads to grant
them the same concessions as are
given cattle breeders.
An attempt will be made to adjust
the rates before the county fair sea-
son opens so that the smaller shows
will be given the same advantage
as the state fair

Regiments Show Marked improve

Camp Douglas.-The 1911 en-
campment practically closed with the
sham battle when the First battalion
held the wooded defile north of camp
against the combined attacks of the
Second and Third battalions.
The problem was one in rear
guard formation and a detachment
from company G was protecting the
rear when the attacking party came
up. A brisk fire from the extreme
rear guard forced the enemy to de-
pIoy, giving the supports a chance
to get into action, and so the First
battalion was saved.
1t has been on the whole the most
successful encampment in the history
of the guard. The regiments excelled
IN the features of military work in
which they have hitherto led, but
showing marked improvement in
those in which they were deficient
The Third still leads in shooting, the
Second has made great gains in it's
close order work and guard duty,
while the First, excelling in military
courtesy and discipline, has made
great strides in its shooting.

surances that Great Britain would not
intervene so long as Germany and

directly.
Paris, France.-Greater optimism
prevailed at the capital. though
It was admitted that negotiations with
Great Britain regarding the Moroccan
affair remain difficult. The statement
by Premier Asquith in the British
house of commons and Premier Call
laux's advice to the French to keep
cool and be prudent relieved the ten
5ion at a moment when relief was
most needed and the discreet military
preparations Of the government were
giving rise to the apprehension that
war was possible.
These preparations include orders to
the cavalry to be ready for the field

ments to their full quota.

names other conditions which France
would find difficulty in accepting. New
ertheless, there is a strong feeling that

These tendencies" said Mr.. Kirby,
smiling, look very harmless now, but
that is only because we misunderstood
them. They are, really, evil tenden-

them we are as deIuded as a little

Moths she said, are so nice. It
is so easy to feed them. They eat
