(COpyright, 1911, BY Associated Literary Press-)
By LAWRENCE ALFRED CLAY

They called him the new manager,
because there had been three in the
place before him It was the building
Of big embankment to create a lake
for water supply for a town. Men
who work with pick and spade and
shovel on such tasks are Of the rough
and ready class and seek to make
their own discipline.
When the third manager was liter
ally thrown out Of camp by crop and
heels the position was offered to Bob
Kingsford, who had Just graduated as
civil engineer and was looking
around for job. The man who told
him Of the place, and who had the In
nuence to put him there, was Qua
ker and an old friend of the family.
He came down to the city and looked
Bob over and asked:

And in colleges, so l have heard,

the manly art"
"oh, the boys catch on to all those
things"
Robert" continued the Quaker
with shade of anxiety In his tones,
"a man may learn the manly art. and
yet II he is not possessed Of what the
worldly call sand he is failure"
you mean II he can't stand up and
give and take and do his best to lick
the other fellow?"

The waterproof is always a fore
most consideration at this time OF
year. and the latest models follow the
general inclination toward striped eff.

striped diagonal tweed in black. white

its raglan sleeves. big patch pocket
and storm collar. This type of coat
will doubtless be the Weather wrap OF

as possible as 1t was already nearly

We decided that we should make an

we're not far away. Gilbert and Herb
continued on ahead and we followed
very carefully about hundred yards
back. After a half mile of the most
careful going ever saw. the boys
rounded a small bunch of jackpines
and Just as they were out of sight we
heard Herbs gun crack and Mrs. B.

I turned the other way. expecting one
OF those moose to come out on my

half minute there was the awfulest
cracking of guns that ever heard

ceased; then as nothing came my way

Imagine my surprise as l walked
around there to see In less than one

secured a splendid head with 4s-inch
