He stopped, painting, exhausted, and
leaned against the rocky wall of the
canon's mouth which here rose sheer
over his head. This certainly was the
end Of the trail, the lake was the
source Of the frozen rivulet along
whose rocky and torn banks he had
tramped since dawn. Here, If any
where, he would find the object of his
quest.
Refreshed by a brief pause, and
encouraged by the sudden stilling Of
the storm, he stepped out of the canon
and assembled a little knoll whence he
had a full view of the pocket over the
tops of the pines. Shading his eyes
from the1ight with his hand as best he
could, he slowly swept the circumfer-
ence with his eager glance, seeing
nothing until his eye fell upon a huge
broken trail Of rocks projecting from
the snow, indicating the ascent to a
broad shelf Of the mountains across
the lake to the right. Following this
he saw a huge block of snow which
suggested dimly the outlines of a
hut!
Was that the place? Was she there?
He stared fascinated and as he did SO
a thin curl Of smoke rose above the
snow heap and wavered up in the cold,
quiet air! That was a human habita-
ton, then. It could be none other
than the hut referred to in the note.
Imid Maitland must be there; and
Newbold!
The lake lay directly in front of him
beyond the trees at the foot of the
knoll, and between him and the slope
that led up to the hut. If 1t had been
summer. he would have been compell-
ed to follow the waters edge to the
right or to the left; both journeys
would have led over difficult trails,
with little to choose between them,
but the lake was now frozen hard and
covered with snow. He had no doubt
that the snow would bear him, but to
make sure he drew his snow shoes
from his shoulder, slipped his feet in
the straps, and sped straight on
through the trees and across 1t like an
arrow from a bow.
In FIVE minutes he was at the foot
Of the giant stairs. Kicking of his
snow shoes, he scrambled up the
broken way. easily finding in the snow
a trail which had evidently been
passed and repassed daily. In a few
moments he was at the top Of the
shelf. A hard trampled path ran be.

MOTHER is YEARS NOT HIS.
Moberly Youth Learns That He Was
Adopted by ChiIdIess Woman.

Moberly.-Living under the name
of Fern Gillian for fifteen years, only
to learn that his real mann is Frank
Garenger, is the experience of a r.
year-old Moberly boy.
Fifteen years ago a childless wom-
ar in Golden, Colo, adopted a 2-year-
old baby boy, That woman was Mrs.
G. c. Gillian. Shortly after the adop-
ton Of the baby, the woman's hus-
band died, and a few years afterwards
she became the wife Of C. H. Bouque.
After their marriage, Mr.. and Mrs.
Bouque came to Moberly, where the
husband died last winter. The boy,
Fern, ran away from home three
years ago, going to Oklahoma, where
he worked as devil in a printing
office for eleven months.
His hand got caught in a press, sew
eral of his fingers being so badly
mashed that amputation was neces-
sary and while waiting for his inju-
ries to heal he returned to Moberly.
Young Garenger contemplates a trip
to Colorado in the near future, when
he will endeavor to learn whether his
father or any of his relatives are liv-
ing in that state.

powerful passions which o human
ity we're at his service; love led him
and hate drove him. And the two
were SO intermingled that 1t was diff
fcult to say which predominated. now
one and now the other. The resultant
of the two forces, however, was an
onward move that would not be de-
MED.
His fur coat was soon covered with
snow and ice, the sharp needles of the
storm cut his face wherever it was ex-
posed. The wind forced its way
through his garments and chilled him
to the bone. He had eaten nothing
since the night before, and his vital
ity was not at its flood, but he pressed
on, and there was something grand
in his indomitable progress. Excel
sior!
Back in the hut Kirkby and Maitland
sat around the fire waiting most impa-
tiently for the wind to blow itself out
and for that snow to stop falling
through which Armstrong struggled
forward. AS he followed the windings
Of the canon, not daring to ascend to
the summit on either wall and seek
short cuts cross the range, he was
sensible that he was constantly rising.
There were many indications to his
experienced mind; the decrease in the
height Of the surrounding pines, the
increasing rarity Of the icy air, the
growing difficulty in breathing under
the sustained exertion he was making,
the quick throbbing of his accelerated
heart, all told him he was approaching
his journeys end.
He Judged that he mast now be
drawing ear the source of the stream,
and that he would presently come
upon the shelter. He had no means of
ascertaining the time. He would not
have dared to unbutton his coat to
glance at his watch, and 1t is difficult
to measure the flying minutes In such
scenes as those through which he pass.
ed, but he thought he must have gone
at least seven miles in perhaps three
hours, which he fancied had elapsed,
his progress In the last two having
been frightfully slow. Every foot oil
advance he had had to fight for.
Suddenly a quick turn in the canon
a passage through a narrow entrance

NEW FIRE INSURANCE RATES.
Entire State Has Been Rerated, With
Exception Of st. Louis.

Jefferson City.-The new fire insur-
ance rates, prepared in compliance
with the rating law enacted by the
forty-sixth general assembly, will be
filed with Frank Blake, state superin-
tendent of insurance, the latter part
of November, according to James A.
Waterworth, of St. Louis, rating *
pert, who vas here on business with
the insurance department.
Mr.. Waterworth says the entire
state has been re-rated, except the
city of. st. Louis, and that the com
mittee handling the work is now en-
gagged there.
The new rates must be approved by
Superintendent Blake before they be-
come effective. That they will be
somewhat lower when taken as a
whole than the rates now in force, is
the opinion of Waterworth. They will
be higher, he believes, upon some
classes Of risks than the old ones.
