1t is estimated that numbering oper-
ations will cost less this season than
in many years past in that the men
are able to cut the lumber without the
bother of deep snow which sometimes
handicaps them. The cutting is now
practically done on the Kennebec riv-
er branch and tributaries. The crews
will now begin to haul the lumber to
the landings. The snow OF Tuesday
amounting to II inches afforded them
good hauling and there will be less
expense to get out the lumber. 1t is
believed that with the abundance of
rain that has already fallen that the
driving will be made comparatively
easy in the spring as the streams ana
ponds are now full of water and with
the snow that necessarily will come
they will be overlooking and no lum-
Der will be left back

From the annual report of the State
Superintendent of Schools, it is noted
that Is towns and cities of the State
took advantage last year of the law
which encourages the introduction of
manual training courses into elemen-
tary and secondary schools. Eleven
of the places reported offered this in
struction to High school as we'll as to
elementary school pupils Twenty
two teachers were employed and the
cost of instruction amounted to $751;
119 That the instruction of girls in
the related branches of domestic sci
ence is not being altogether neglected
is shown by the total which indicates
that ID towns and cities made provis-
ion during the year for instruction in
domestic science at a cost of approx
timately $4,000 for instruction. Eight
cities included such instruction for
High schools as well as for their com
mon schools.

There is a nine-year-old boy in
Flagstaff who recently gave battle
to a wild cat and killed the cat. But
the cat WAS in trap. Gerald Wing,
the son of \. P. Wing. is the hero OF
this story, as told by the Flagstaff
correspondent of Maine woods. 1t
would appear that Gerald went to look
at trap that was set in the edge OF
the woods near his fathers house. He
found good sized wild cat in the
trap. and after cutting a stout stick,
killed the animal and brought it 10
the house without help from anybody.
Now this might appear to be simple
matter. but the Man on the Job is in
formed by hunters and trappers OF
experience that a wild cat can put up
a pretty good fight even when caught
in a trap.

CHAPTER xxxVII.
His Great Hour.

Saturday night at eight o'clock
So the fiat had gone forth, with no
concession to be made on account of
weather.
AS Oswald came from his supper
and took look at the heavens from
the small front porch, he was deeply
troubled that Orlando had remained
so obstinate on this point For there
were ominous clouds rolling up from
the east, and the storms in this region
Of high mountains and abrupt valleys
were not light, nor without danger
even to those with feet well-planted
upon mother earth.
If the tempest should come up be-
fore eight!
Mr.. Challoner, who, from some mys-
terious impulse of bravado on the part
Of Brotherson, was to be allowed to
make the third in this small band of
spectators, was equally concerned at
this sight, but not for Brotherson. His
fears were for Oswald, whose slow.
ly gathering strength could lily bear
the strain which this additional anx-
l6Ly lOI u10 UIOLhO1 . 1AAO UuQ6I lIQUOSG
upon him. AS for Doris, she was in
a state OF excitement more connected
with the past than with the future.
That afternoon she had laid her hand
in that of Orlando Brotherson, and
wished him we'll. She! in whose breast
still fingered "reminiscences Of those
old doubts which had beclouded his
image for her at their first meeting.
She had not been able to avoid it.
His look was a compelling one, and it
had demanded thus much from her;
and-a terrible thought to her gentle
spirit--he might be going to his
death!
1t had been settled by the prospec-
tive aviator that they were to watch
for the ascent from the mouth of the
grassy pad leading in to the hangar.
The three were to meet there at a
quarter to eight and await the stroke
and the Arrears rise. That time was
near, and Mr.. Challoner, catching a
glimpse of Oswald's pallid and unnat-
urally drawn features, as he set down
the lantern he carried, shuddered with
foreboding and wished the hour
passed.
Doris watchful glance never left
the face whose lightest change was
more to her than all Orlando's hopes.
But the result upon her was not to
weaken her resolution, but to strength
en- it, Whatever the outcome of the
next few minutes, she must stand
ready to sustain her invalid through
1t. That the darkness Of early eve
ming had deepened to oppression, was
unnoticed for the moment. The fears
of an hour past had been forgotten.
Their attention was too absorbed in
what was going on before them, for
even a glance overhead.
Suddenly Mr.. Challoner spoke.
who is the man whom Brotherson
has asked to go up with him?"
1t was Oswald who answered.
HE has never told me. He has
kept his own counsel about that as
about everything else connected with
this matter. He simply advised me
that / was not to bother about him
any more; that he had found the as
sistant he wanted"
"Such reticence seems unpardon-
able. You have displayed great pa
tience. Oswald"

Earth's journey,

Our worlds journey in space is a
long one, if we are to accept the con
illusions of DR.. Turner of the Uni
versity observatory Of Oxford and
Prof. H. C. Plummer, royal astron-
omer of Ireland. Recent astronom
ical work suggests that the sun and
it's planets form single unit in a
vast system, the stars in which,
though separated by enormous dis
tances, have common center OF
gravity, and in response to gravita-
ton all move in unison like a stupen-
dous machine. The paths of these
stars, instead of being nearly circu-
lar, like those Of the planets around
the sun, are much like the oscilla-
lions of a pendulum. The calcula-
lions show that on this elongated
course our sun must travel 100000.
900 years before completing revolu
ton, and that it passed near the cen
ter less than a million-perhaps not
more than ,000-years ago, and Is
now on the outward stretch.

silly Idea About Career of ministers
Sons" Is Given Setback by Pub
LEGATION of Few Facts.

Did anybody say anything about
ministers sons?" No? Well, any
way, they are coming to their own in
spite of the old saw. Three of the
last seven presidents of the United
States were sons of ministers-Ar-
thur, Cleveland and Wilson.
Two denominations have been rep
resented thus by ancestry in the
White House. Mr.. Arthur was the son
one of nine children-of the Rev.
William Arthur, Baptist. Mr.. Cleve-
lands father was the Rev. Richard F.
Cleveland, Presbyterian, while Presi-
dent Wilson's father, the Rev. Joseph
R. Wilson, was not only a Presby-
terrain clergyman, but also a professor
in a theological seminary. 1t is esti-
mated that there is one clergyman in
the United States to 220 adult men.
So the ministers, through their sons,
are getting much more than their
share of representation in the execu-
tive chair.
They are doing even better through
their daughters. Mrs. Wilson is the
daughter and the granddaughter OF
PRESBYTERIAN ministers. She will be
the seventh mistress of the White
House of clerical descent. Abigail
Adams was the daughter of a Congre-
gational minister. Mrs. Fillmorc's

CHAPTER XXXvI.

The Man Within and the Man Without.
An instant of silence, during which
the two men eyed each other; then,
Sweetwater, with an ironical smile
directed towards the pistol. lightly re-
marked:
