CHAPTER lI-contlnued.

NAT. you've got good red blood in
you." he cried, whirling about. Dye
suppose you can hate as well as love?"
Lord deliver us!" exclaimed the
astonished Captain Plum. Hate
love-what the"
Yes, hate" repeated the old man
with fierce emphasis, so close that his
breath struck Nathaniel's face. "You
can love pretty face-and you can
hate. I know you can. If you couldn't
l would send you back to your sloop
with the package tonight. But as it
is am going to relieve you of your
oath. Yes, Nat. give you back your
oath-for time"
Nathaniel stepped a pace back and
put his hands on his pockets as if to
protect the gold there.
"You mean that you want to call
OF our bargain?" he asked.
The councillor rubbed his hands I'M
til the friction of them sent a SILVER
up Nathaniel's back mot that, Nat
o, no. not that! The bargain is good.
The gold-is yours. You must deliver
the package. But you need not do it
Immediately. Understand? am
lonely back there in my shack. I
want company. You must stay with
me week. Eth? Lilacs and pretty
faces, Nat! Ho, ho!-You will stay
week, won't you. Nat?"
He spoke SO rapidly and his face
underwent SO many changes, now be-
traying the keenest excitement, now
wrinkled in an ogreish. bantering
grin, now almost pleading in its earn
estness. that Nathaniel knew not what
to make Of him. He looked into the
beady eyes, sparkling with passion,
and the cat-like glitter of them set his
blood tingling. What strange adven-
ture was this old man dragging him
into? What were the motives, the
reasoning. the plot that lay behind
this mysterious creatures apparent
faith in him? He tried to answer
these things in the passing Of a mo.
ment before he replied. The coun.
cilor saw his hesitancy and smiled.
Il will show you many things of
interest, Nat" he said. II will show
you just one tonight. Then you will
make up your mind, eh? You need
not tell me until then"
He took the lead again and this
time struck straight down for the
town. They passed a number of
houses built Of logs and Nathaniel
caught narrow CLEANS Of light from
between close-drawn curtains In
one of these houses he heard the
crying Of children, and with return
Of his grisly humor Obadiah Price
prodded him in the ribs and said:
Good old Israel Laeng lives there
two wives. one old, one young-11
children. The Kingdom Of Heaven is
open to him." And from a second he
heard the sound of an organ. and
from still third there came the
laughter and chatter Of several femin-
ine voices. and again Obadiah
reached out and prodded Nathaniel In
the ribs. There was one great.
gloomy. long-built place which they
passed. without ray Of light to give
It life. and the councillor said: "Three
widows there. Nat-fght like cats and.
dogs. Poor Job killed himself" They
avoided the more thickly populated
part Of the settlement and encoun.

From Ambush While Dig
ging Potatoes.

Charles Rogue, a settler recent
ly arrived from Chicago and liv-
ing at an old camp about four
miles from Three Lakes, was
shot and fatally wounded Thurs
day afternoon while digging
potatoes in his field. The rife
bullet entered through the hip
causing fatal wound in the alb
domen, and was probably fired
by some hunter out after deer
before season. The person who
fired the shot is unknown and
will if apprehended fully pay the
penalty of the law on the charge
of manslaughter or perhaps de-
liberate murder.
DR.. Thorpe of Eagle River and
DR.. Elliott of Rhinelander attend
ed the wounded man, who was
later moved to St. Marv's hos
pital at the latter place where
he lived until Saturday.
The tragedy adds another vic
tim to the list of those who come
to grief through the carelessness
ofi-responsible parties with guns,
and in this instance cost the
life of man peacefully
caring for his newly started fs rm
and now leaves wife and
two children to face the problem

Orders were telegraphed Fri
day night to Frank Dildine,
superintendent of dams for the
Wisconsin Valley Improvement

the ten dams under his super
vision. Orders came from Wau-

river was bank full and rising at
an alarming rate due to the enor-

The big dam six miles below
Wausau on the Wisconse came
within a point of going out but
reports from there yesterday
say the waters are falling.
The entire business section of
the city of Black River Falls was
entirely swept away by the
bursting of two dams on Black
river above the city. The bust
ness section will never be rebuilt
in the old section as the rivers

makers had ceased their debate
over the game laws Mr. Sholts
was informed by the public
printer that. the licenses would
have to be printed at once in
order to ger them out on time,
and this fact precluded the posi-
bility of publishing the revised
dates for the protection of game.
The game laws were compiled,
necessarily. after the licenses had
been printed and the department
only last week finished sending
them to the various county
clerks.

HAS BRILLIANT FUTURE
North Wisconsin Exhibits at
Illinois State Fair--Board
of immigration Is Boosting
Northern Counties.

$ Through the efforts of the Wis
T consin Board of Immigration
? county exhibits from the north
ern part of the state, taken from
the. Milwaukee state fair, were
= displayed at the Illinois fair at
Springfield last week. The Board
of immigration has for its object
the developing of the states re
sources, and during the last year
has madeespecial effort to induce
settlers to locate in northern
Wisconsin. AS a result of the ex-
hibits of the states productive
ness many people from the cen
trail states are interested in the
soil fertility of this state. The
Springfield fair is one of the
largest in the middle west and
the putting of Wisconsin pro-
ducts on exhibition is an excel
lent idea of the Board to adver-
tise the state.
The exhibit was noted for the
wonderful variety of products.
There were seventeen different
varieties of potatoes to show
what northern Wisconsin can do.
Corn, grains, fruits and other
products were abundantly seen
in the Badger representa- IN.
Northern Wisconsin is gradual
~ coming into its own as an
agricultural center. More peo-
pie from many sections of the
country and the central states
i'll particular are inquiring into
the practicability of farming as
business in this state. During
the last few years the rapid prog
resS made by the state in this
line has aroused attention
from intending settlers that will
in time result in this state being
a foremost farming region. In
fruit growing northern Wiscon-
sin has a brilliant future and the
apple culture campaign which is
being pushed in other counties
will eventually become perman-
ent forming one of the valuable
assets of the farmers in the

From Milwaukee paper of
this week is taken the following:
The exhibit of the Wisconsin
Board of immigration at the
Illinois state fair last week took
first honors. Secretary OF State
Frear received word Saturday
that Wisconsin was awarded
first premium, blue ribbon and
diploma on the exhibit. The dis
play represented products OF the
more undeveioped regions of the
state and included potatoes,
grains, ginseng, woods, maps
and charts"

A BIT o NOTHIN'

The position of the sun in the
heavens, the growing prominence
of football on the sporting page,
the smell of mothballs when
mother is looking over the wool
en- underwear. the longing for
buckwheat cakes now stealing
over the spirit of the populacc,
and various other things too
numerous to mention. proclaim
that just as soon as it gets done
being fall it is going to be winter.
What kind of winter is it go
ing to be?
The size Of the coal bill, the
cost Of the ice harvest and the
question whether there will be
any skating or not, ali depend
on the answer.
The public wants to know, but
as yet the only reply is based up
on the fact that in the rural dis
tricts partridge are coming up to
the barnyards to feed with the
chickens.
