THE LITTLE. MIsERY-BY RoBT W. CHAMBERS

I CONTINUED from Saturday,
PART 2.
When September came hush fell
over. the forest. Silent and more 81
lent the woods grew as the new moon
rose in the evening sky. At its first
quarter the silence deepened, at its
half the stiffness was intense. Then
one black night the Full Moon of
September flashed in the sky, and a
gigantic black shadow waded out in
to the lake and roar shook the hills.
The first bull moose had beloved,
and the rutting season had begun.
Instantly the forest, the lake, the
shore, the stream were alive; the
meat-birds cried from every cedar;
the deer barked from the sedge; a.
lynx howled and miauled in the Sec
ond growth.
Now there is a season for all
things. Each after its kind" says
the quaint Book.
Skeene sewed porcupine quilts in
a semi-circle over the instep of his
moccasins, laced string of scarlet
treut-flies across his SLOUGH hat, and
listened to the bull moose believing.
When the September morn waxed
full Skeene's heart grew full, and the
blood in his neck and cheeks ebbed
and surged like moon-tides. So, on
the second night, he took his rifle and
dragged the canoe to the beach. But
his heart failed him and he went back
to his camp and rolled and grunted
through sleepless night.
On the third evening he started on
foot, but he hesitated when the lamp
in the Garry House broke out, a red
beam in the night. He stood, wretch
ed, wistful, undecided, lingering his
rife butt, and his heart beat to suf-
location. Then, worn out with the
fever in his veins, he slept openly

shore the red beam of the Garry lamp
signalled him and his blood famed
the answer in his face.
And, as he strobe up to the house,
he saw woman on the shore looking
out into the night across the spectral
lake. 1t was Lois, servant at South
Garry. He had danced with her two
years ago at Foxcroft Landing, he
had sent her six otter pelts month
before he shot Sebato.
She was the girl he had come for.
Is it possible she expected him?
The restlessness of September had
drawn her to the lake and something
had led him to her.
And so, together, they glided away
on trail of silver water to the
strange country, drained by strange
streams, stirred by strange winds.
At dawn the sky crimsoned the Lit
tie Misery. They slept. At sunrise a
moose roared salute to the coming
day.
They awoke and kissed each other.
When the public-spirited citizens
of Foxcroft offered $500 reward for
the capture of Skeene, Placide
L'Hommedieu scratched his greasy
chin, licked his lips, and went out to
buy cartridges. They found L'Hom-
medieu week later peacefully float
ing down Moose River in his canoe,
with a bullet in his brain.
When Skeene padded away with
Lois, there was trouble in Foxcroft.
Hale left sluice, drain and chain and
wired the sheriff at the Landing to
meet him at Moosehead Inn. The
mayor went also, and next morning
the reward was doubled for James
Skeene, murderer, dead or alive
Hale had never forgiven the blow
at the cutoff, but Hale had other rea-
sons. They concerned Lois, servant
at South Garry, for when she left

bits of humorous and everyday pieces.
OF special merit are the Soldiers
Chorus from Faust, the Lost Chord

are rendered in full sonorous style,

The Grand.

Mrs. Stoves famous novel, Uncle
Toms Cabin, is the production at the
Grand theatre this week, under the d.
rection Of George V. Halliday. The
play proved to be a good drawing card,
packing the house at both perform
ances last evening.
Uncle Toms Cabin, or Life Among
the Lowly, as 1t Is sometimes called,
has been played by almost every star
both in English and American theatres.
In nearly all instances, the George L..
Aikens version has been used, and it
Is this version, dramatized by Aiken,
that may be seen at the Grand theatre
this evening and tomorrow evening,
with the usual Saturday afternoon
matinee.
The story is familiar to all; it con-
sists OF fifteen beautiful scenes in four
acts. the most spectacular Of which is
the first scene of the fourth act, where
Eliza crosses the ice and goes into
Canada to begin life anew. The scenic
artist has put forth special effort on
the scenes for this play. with great
success.
The role of Uncle Tom is played by
r. L.. Beach in a manner which de-
lighted the audience. Mr.. Beach makes
an ideal Uncle Tom, and his work In
this role is excellent. The role of
Little Eva lis we'll taken by Miss Irene
Jeavons, while Miss Ollie Eaton, the
leading lady of the Grand Stock Co.,
plays the part Of Eliza, splendidly.
+. =. Gould, a new member OF the
stock company, portrays the role of
st. Clair. Mr.. Gould has won much
favor from the public in the two plays
In which he has taken part this week,
and he received hearty applause last
evening.
There are twenty people taking part
In Uncle Toms Cabin, and all of the
company deserve much praise for their
difficult rolaa.
