ooh, thank God!" cried Stephen
Maitland f~ervently.
II know you don't like me-" answer
ed Armstrong. That's neither here
nor there. Perhaps you have to
dislike me, perhaps you have not. /
don't like you any too well myself, but
there's no man on earth I'd rather
have go with me on a quest of this
kind than you, and there's my hand
on it."
Kirby shook it vigorously.
"This amt committin' myself" he
said cautiously. $50 fairs I'm con-
cerned, you amt good enough for Miss
Maitland, but I admires your spirit,
Armstrong, an I'm goin' with you.
'Tain't no good, 'twon't produce nothin',
most likely we'll never come back
agin; but Jest the same, I'm goin'
along. Nobody's goin' to show me the
trail. My nerve and grit, wen it
comes to heIpin' a young female like
that girl, is as good as anybody's, |
guess. You're her father" he drawled,
on turning to Stephen Maitland, IAN

"And /, cannot I accompany your"
pleaded Stephen Maitland, eagerly
drawing near to the other three.

Without sayin' anything about myself,

eyes twinkling. There amt no three

WELL" said Robert Maitland, "the
thing now is to decide on what's to be
done"
MY PLAN" said Armstrong, sis to go
to the old camp.
"Yep," said Kirkby, that's a good
point of departure, as my seafarin' IA
Their down Cape Cod way used to say;
an wot's next?"
II am going up the canon instead of

inspiration.

We'll, what do you say, Kirkby? Not
that it makes any difference to me
what anybody says. Come, we are
wasting time" interposed Armstrong,
who. now that he had made up his
mind, was anxious to be off.
"Jim Armstrong" answered Kirkby,
decidedly. Il never thought much O.
you in the past, an I think sence
you've put out this last projick Of
yourn, that I'm entitled to call you a
damn fool, witch you are, and I'm an
other, for I'm goin' into the mountains

was a living grief and a living re-
proach to him. Although he was quite
blameless he blamed himself. He had
not known how he had grown to love
his niece until he had lost her. His
conscience accused him hourly, and
yet he knew not where he was at
fault or how he could have done diff
ferently. 1t was a helpless and hope
less situation. To him, therefore, en-
tered Armstrong.

"Oh, yes, I will; but if l don't, l

Old Stephen Maitland rose instead

his chair.

An overworked Ohio doctor tells his
experience:
ABOUT three years ago as the result
OF doing two mems work, attending q
large practice and looking after the
details Of another business, my health
broke down completely. and I was
little better than a physical wreck.
i suffered from indigestion and con-
%stipation, loss Of weight and appetite.
bloating and pain after meals, loss Of
memory and lack Of nerve force for
continued mental application.
! became irritable, easily angered
and Respondent without cause. The
hearts action became irregular and
weak, with frequent attacks OF palpi-
tation during the first hour or two
after retiring.
Some Grape-Nuts and cut bananas
came for my lunch one day and
pleased me particularly with the re-
suit. ! got more satisfaction from II
than from anything / had eaten for
months, and on further investigation
and use, adopted Grape-Nuts for my
morning and evening meals, served
usually with cream and a sprinkle Of
salt or sugar.
my improvement was rapid and
permanent, in weight as well as In
physical and mental endurance. In q
word, I am filled with the Joy OF liv-
Ing again. and continue the daily use
OF Grape-Nuts for breakfast ana often
for the evening meal.

1t was the time OF the singing les
son at the local council school, and
the teacher was explaining to the
young hopefuls that If a treble" and
ALTO" a tenor and a bass" sung
together, their united efforts would
constitute a quartet.
There seemed no trouble about that,
and the teacher thought the class was
getting IN very nicely.
Nov, Jimmy, leave off pinching

said she. If a bass and a tenor sang
together, what would you call that?"

The street railway company may en-
ter into an agreement with the mayor
and common council whereby some ar.
rangement may be made to relay all
of the pavement on Main street at
the time the double tracks are put in,
but if the railway company officials
make any agreement it will be of their
OWE free will and to show their good
will towards Kenosha. The company
cannot be forced under its fran
heard of to undertake this work and
the people who are talking about its
being the duty of the coancil or the
administration to Hmakeo the rail-
way repave this street do not under
stand the situation. The company can
be made to carry out all Of the provi-
sions Of it's contract, but this is not
one of them. The company would
doubtless have been very glad to as
sumo the expense of putting Main
street in first class condition in ex-
change for the privilege Of putting ad
ditional tracks on Market Square
which was granted by the council some
time ago if the matter had been
brought up at that time, but it was
not. That privilege has already been
granted the company and neither the
city nor the company can change the
bargain already made and the COM
pany certainly cannot be forced TO as
sumo any additional expense under its
contract. It is very much to be de-
sired that some arrangement for the
Of the pavement can be made
but if one is made it will have to be
a new bargain all around.

CLAIMS MISTAKEN IDENTITY
Friends of Injured Man Claim Rusera
Sought to Assault One of His Rela-
tives and Mistook the Man STABBED
for Him-Injured Man to Recover.

There was a new Italian outbreak
in the city at midnight Saturday
might near the corner of Third and
Market street when Carl PERI, resid-
ing at 85S Garden street was stabbed
in the wrist and arm The man had
two great knife wounds and suffered
terribly from loss Of blood. He was
taken to the Kenosha Hospital where
his wounds were dressed and he was
able to be in court today to answer
a charge of disturbance.
Sam Butera, whose domestic trou-
bles have been aired repeatedly in the
municipal court, is in Jail charged
with assault with intent to do great
bodily harm and he is alleged to have
welded the knife with which PERI
was cut. Butera has refused to make
any statement to the police and he
will be brought into the municipal
court late this afternoon to answer
the charges against him.
Three other men were arrested on
charges of disturbance in connection
with the fight and they entered pleas
of not guilty and the hearing in each
case was continued until next Friday
afternoon. These men have told their
story Of the cutting to the district at
torney and they identify Butera as
the man who cut PERI. They allege
that the assault was made without any
warning. Peril who is little more
than boy was on his way home with
a crowd of Italians and at the corner
mentioned they met Butera who is al
legged to have drawn the knife and
lunged at PERI four times. Two of
the lunges resulted in the clothing of
the boy being slashed and the other
two found the flesh of his wrist and
arm 1t is declared that Butera made
a mistake and that he had aimed to
go after brother-in-law who was sup
posed to have been one of the party.
The police were called to the scene
of the encounter and Butera and the
four other Italians were taken to the
city lookup. Later ON the police Of
fcers found the knife which had been
used in the ARRAY on side street.
Butera refused to make any statement
to the police as to his side of the case
and this is to be brought out at the
hearing. Peril claimed that he had
never had any trouble of any nature
with Butera and that he had been Civ
en- no warning that his life was in
danger.
The case caused great excitement
among the Italians and the court room
was well filed with them during the
day, awaiting the hearing of Butera
