Strike Oil in Hopkins County.

While drilling a we'll for water on
the land of the Kingston Coal Co, +,
at Morton's Gap, the latter part of
the week, a vein of oil was struck at
a depth of S55 feet. State Geolo-
gist Criger, who has made an exam
nation, pronounced the oil of very
superior quality, and from investi
CATION of the conditions believes this
a fine field. The well will be con
tinucd To a depth of at least 600
feet, in hope of striking larger
vein. The strike has caused the
widest interest, and it has develop
ell that an Eastern syndicate has
options on about so, 900 acres of
land as to oil rights. 1t is more
than likely that Muhlenberg is a
rich field for oil. Several tests
have been made here, but all pros
pecting was suddenly and mystcr-
iously abandoned, all wells being
plugged, and no information given
out. 1t is thought by many that
oil was found, but that it has been
decided to hold development until
later. Many thousands of acres of
land in this county are under option
on oil rites.

Bad Roads.

Man must use his whips and
goads driving DER the rutty roads,
he must often push the wagon to as
sist the horse or mule: and he rears
and jerks the lines, and he quickly
undermines all the helpful moral
lessons that he learned at Sunday
school. And his wagon oft gets
stuck in the gumbo or the muck and
man can hear HIM praying seven
versts or SO away; and he dances
and he rants, swearing by his sacred
aunts that an hour of such highway
turned his golden rlnglets gray.
This fool things been going on
ever since the nations dawn, and it's
really only lately that the farmer

roads, singing meEfy h,ie oit-
as he pushed the shining scraper
and the swaybacked sorrell mules.
Now DER all the Western lands there
are joyous toiling bands blasting up
the blasted gumbo, filling up the
ruts and holes; and the farmer views
the sight with a spasm of delight,
and he's glad that he is living, aud
he whoops and carac oles. And all
cheerily he tracks into town to pay
his tax, for there's fun in laying
taxes when the moneys wisely spent;
though this thing of building roads
of our wealth takes mighty loads,

PROLOGUE.

Up in the Big Shows" near
the dome of the earth, lies The
scene of this story Of real men
and real women, who have all of
the vtrtues of their hardening en-
Vtronnert and few O. the fatlings
of their more civilized relatives.
This is a tale for reading when
one is tired OF the artiticialitieS
of civtlisattOn-or at any other
time when a good story is appre-
ctated. You will find in it ro-
nance and adventure and mystery
mixed in such sEillful manner and
in such proportion that no iragre-
dtent t7lterferes with another. Yez
oil 90 to make fine reading for
women who like to hear of brave
deeds and sacrifice for loves
sake and for men with even a
drop of the spirit of adventure
in their veinS. And one thing
n1ore-the author has lived among
the people whose lives he de-
scrtbes, and he knows how to tell
q story.

he peered around the logs. 1t was the
Englishman who stood looking through
the window.
Mukee's moccasineG feet made no
sound. His hand fell as gently as a
child's upon the strangers arm.
'"Thees is not the honor of the beeg
SHOWS" he whispered. Gomez
The Englishman chuckled. Then
Mukee's hands changed. They flew to
the thick, reddening throat of the man
from civilization, and without a sound
the two sank together upon the snow.
The next day a messenger behind
six dogs set out for Fort Churchill
with word for the company's home
Office that the Englishman had died in
the big snow, which was true.
Mukee told this to Jan, for there
was the bond Of blood between them.

ships and bargaining for the catch
that would be coming to market abous
eight weeks later.
This was year of intense rivalry
for the French competitors Of the
company had established a post 2OO
miles to the west, and rumor spread
that they were to give sixty pounds
Of -four to the company's forty and
four feet of cloth to the yard. This
meant action among Williams and his
people, and the factor himself, his son
and all his men plunged into the viii
derness.
The exodus left desolate ifelessness
at the post.
In the silence and IifeIessness Jan
Thoreau felt a new and ever increas~
ing happiness. To him the sound OF
life was a thing vibrant with harsh
ness; quiet-the dead, pulseless quieE
of lifelessness-was beautiful. He
dreamed in it, and it was then that his
fingers discovered new things in his
violin.
He often sent Maballa, the Indian
woman who cared for Melissa, to gOs~
sip with Williams Chippewayan wife,
so that he was alone great deal with
the baby. At these times, when the
door was safely barred against the
outside world, it was a different Jan
Thoreau who crouched upon his knees
beside the cot His face was aflame
with a great, absorbing passion which,
at other times he concealed.

company's hunters. had brought Me-
lisse thither as his bride. Seventeen
rough hearts had welcomed her. They
j had assembled about that little cabin
in which the light was shining now,
speechlesS in their alteration of this
woman who had come among them,
their caps in their hands, their faces
shining. their eyes shifting before the
| glorious ones that looked at them and
smiled at them as the woman shook
their hands, one by one.
Perhaps she was not strictly beauti-
full as most people judge, but she was
beautiful here, 400 miles beyond civ
ilization. Mukee, the half Cree, had
never seen a white woman, for even
the factors wife was part Chippeway-
an. and no one Of the others went
down to the edge of the southern will
0erness more than once each twelve
month or so.
The girl-she was scarce more than
budding into WomanhOod-fell happily
into the ways Of her new life She did
nothing that was elementally unusual,
reared in the love of God and of a
home would have done. In her spare
hours she began to teach the half doz-
en- wild little children about the post,
and every Sunday she told them won
derful stories out of the Bible She
ministered to the sick. for that was a
part of her code of life. Everywhere
she carried her glad smile, her CHEEKY
greeting, her wistful earnestness, to
brighten what seemed to her the sad
and lonely lives Of these silent men of
the north.
And she succeeded, not because she
was unlike other millions of her kind,
but because of the difference between
the fortieth degree and the sixtieth.
the difference in the viewpoint of men
who fought themselves into moral
shreds in the big game Of life and those
who lived a thousand miles nearer to
the dome of the earth.
A few days before there had come a
