Ever as they went they called and

traversed by nightfull and they had
seen nothing. They camped that night

About noon of the second day they
came to an immense log jam where
Che stream now broadened and made
q sudden turn before it plunged over
fall Of perhaps two hundred feet
into the lake. 1t was the end of their
quest. If they did not find her there;
they would never do so. With still
hearts and bated breath they climbed
cut over the log jam and scrutinized
It. A brownish gray patch concealed
beneath the great pines caught their
eyes. They made their way to 1t.

They recognized 1t at once. The old

the woman to, sitting position. The

Of action, as she lifted herself on her

Her high boots were tightly laced.
Of course, but he could see that her

sprained; already the slender ankle
was swelling visibly. He examined It
swiftly q moment. It might be a
sprain, 1t might be the result Of some
violent thrust against the rocks, some
whirling tree trunks might have
caught and crushed her foot, but
there was no good In specializing as
to causes, the present patent fact was
that she could not walk; all the rest
was at that moment unimportant.
This unfortunate accident made him
the more anxious to get her to a
place of shelter without delay. It
would be necessary to take of her

A PRIZE WINNER.

The Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co. is
known all over the world for its en-
terprise. 1t has no agents but the
very best. Therefore, when any
agent wins a prize for selling goods
in competition with its numerous
agents he's got to be hummer.
The FitzSimons Co., of Covington,
is their agents here, and when we
announced that they have won a prize
for selling the A. p. Co.'S. extracts
we are paying them very high COM
plfment. Yet this is what they have
done, and it would have been impos-
sible to have done this had not the
extracts been of very high order.
for you can not win prizes in COM
petition sales unless the articles are
first class.

The Covington Bank and Trust
Company is now in its new building,
the handsome structure being a re-
production of that destroyed in the
fire which burned several blocks in
the business section. While the fur
nishing of the building is practically
the same, yet there have been some
changes in the nature of improve
ments. The brass work surround
ing the counting room is much heav-
Ter and handsomer than before and
there is brass-barred cage SUR
rounding the cashiers department.
Also there is an awning built on the
front of the building, which makes
1t cooler and the light softer. The
arrangement of the Office rooms up
stairs is excellent, both for light and
ventilation, and the sanitary plumb
ing is convenient and of the best.
The company has ideal quarters and
doubly appreciates the conveniences
