With the Hudson Bay Traders.
rom Harper's Magazine

From Harpers Magazine.
The factor enacts the prelude TO a dra-
matte play that proceeds almost without
words. To each Of the hunters he hands
a plug of cheap. black tobacco and a
package of sulphur matches-all a gift
from the great trading company. Imme-
diately pipes are filled with the sticky
tobacco cut from the plug. Nothing is
said while the pipe of welcome is smoked.
1t is a very serious matter, the smoking
of a pipeful OF that tobacco. 1t requires
constant attention and the entire bundle
of matches. Finally the chief knocks his
pipe free from ashes and puts it carefully
away. Then he cuts the caribou thongs
from one of the bark-covered bales and
spreads upon the counter pile OF raw
furS-his own personal hunt. made Since
New Year day. The factor begins at the
top of the chiefs pile and first counts 2J0
muskrats. He thruSts his hard in each
pelt. judges of the value and gives the
amount to the bookkeeper who sits close
by Each pelt in the catch is examined
carefully and passed to the outpost fac
tor who piles them on the counter.
You watch the hunter and the COM
pany's agent. No word passes between
them The cunning chief watches the
factor as a lynx would a rabbit. His
sharp, bead-like eyes do not miss
movement He follows every motion OF
the sensitive fingers. trained after many
years practice TO perfect and fair juds-
ment of a pelt. The hunter hears him
say. although he does not understand
word, as he moves his hand over a glossy
pelt:
lone fine otter. usual high price. twen-
ty-five.
.,One mink. three: one mink, five; an
other fine otter same high price.
And so he continues, until finally YOU
hear the chiefs sp ing catch amounts Ia
s2la The factor touches the Indian on
the shoulder and tells him il is a fine
hunt.
The chief then. as is betting his sta
tion trades i'm the pelts of all who made
the hunt with him He places on thu
counter small pile of skins, his daush
ters hunt-thirty muskrats-for which
she receives credit OF about 81 Then
there follows an exceptionally good hunt
of an Indian who has been blacklistrd
because, as the bookRee per says. his don't
is of three years standing and amounts
TO $3.50. But the magnificent lot OF fur
that is topped by a fine silver fox, ihs
prize catch of all hunters. has brought
his Indebtedness 20 only ST.. And in sucR
a manner the hunt of the triEe is traded
to the great company.

Dainty Christmas Gifts.

| A VARIETY Of materials is used in
"A the designing of hair ornaments
suitable for both ball and opera wear
Malines i'm coils, with paradise in the
center front. and gold or silver bands
many times studded with pearls or bril-
Eants and trimmed in the direct front or
SIDES with paradise or aigrettes are in
variey of designs.
Some of the cap effects for evening
wear are made of gold or silver lace and
fit the head perfectly fiat, while others
that are made of gold or silver net, chif-
fon or malines have the crowns made
in tam-o' -shanter effect. The brim or
headband is finished with band Of fur,
with a frill of lace, and the trimming
consists of aigrettes, paradise or metal
flowers
English nOsegays and corsage bouquets
are very popular. In the nosegays one
flower of medium size. which is usually a
rose, is surrounded by small flowers in a
variety of colors, and leaf forms the
background. The stems are wound in
tinsel, giving the effect Of a real bouquet.
These little nosegays are always fiat on
the under side, so that they may be PIN
ned to the lapel of coat. Corsage bou-
often only one is used. Large roses and
orchids, which are so cleverly made that
they closely resemble natures roses, are
favored. Sometimes a cluster Of loosely
arranged flowers are worn for corsage
ornamentatiOn.
Breakfast caps are made of all-over
laces and nets either plain or point
d'esprit. Frills of lace are as a rule Or
ranged to fall over the hair, the lace
sometimes being wider at the back than
in the front and sides. Rosettes Of mar
row ribbon wreaths of tiny ribbon roses
are effectively used as trimming.
Evening slippers are in many attract

oyster white and black. 18th the French
heels trimmed on the edge with brilliants
or pearls. Sometimes the tops Of the
slippers are edged with brilliants, or the
buckle may be trimmed with them.
a very pretty and useful gift would be
d pair of white satin slippers accompan-
led by set of bows or rosettes in differ
emit colors. Sew permanent socket to
each slipper. and a ball fitting the socket
to each bow, SO that it will take but a
moment to change the bows.

DICKENS CHARACTERS
Caricatured in Double-Page Drawing
in Sunday Magazine.

Our readers must not think that be-
cause the printing Of stories I'm our prize
story competition was finished in the last
issue the quality Of our Sunday Magazine
would Immediately go into decline be-
cause the supply of tales Of high quality
was exhausted. and we might think we
could get along on past performances for
a while. for nothing could be further
from the truth. This is shown in strik-
ing fashion in our next issue, which is
one Of the best magazines we ever pub
lished.
Indeed. we can truthfully say that the
double-page pen-and-ink drawing by Jo-
seph Clement Coll is one of the finest
specimens of this branch Of art ever
printed. 1t contains half a hundred car
features Of the leading characters in
Charles Dickens works, done with such
faithfulness and expression that the
Dickens scholar can have no end of de-
light and success In picking them out.
Lovers of Dickens who have seen the
picture are enthusiastic and unanimous
in the opinion that the original of this
will occupy high place in some future
art collection and that prints will al
ways be in demand. Mr.. Coll. whose work
is we'll known among our Sunday Maya
zine readers, has great fOndness for Dick
ems as this drawing will show, and those
who know him say that he is among the
best authorities on the great English
writer.

NORTH SEA GHOST HEARD,
TO PLAY ON THE BANJO
Wireless Operators on English and
Holland Coasts Worried by
Musical Messages.

LONDON, January 31.-A banjo tune by
wireless has recently been heard by the
operators on the English and Dutch
coast stations; also whistling and singing,
and all the operators on the shores OF
both countries are now seeking to dis
cover the owner of what they term the
voice of the North sea ghost"
Operator Ross of Dalston heard the
ghost Thursday. according to the London
Daily Mirror. and made the following
note of what had occurred:
Il hear voice speaking. 1t says One,
two, three, four. five, six, seven. eight.
nine, ten Also a whistled tune. At
times the voices are quite plain but can
not distinguish ordinary words.
Then the Echeveningen station on the
coast of Holland called us and asked:
Gould you hear the words spoken? L
heard plain language spoken ten minutes
ago as over a telephone.
Later again I heard a voice recitinG
the figures and whistlng and singing.
Also the sounding of musical instru-
ment. as of a banjo or mandolin"
The area covered, three hundred miles,
is certainly the largest auditorium for a
banjo selection in history.
