CHAPTER xiI-contlnued.

Till the sun was high John Valiant
lay on his back In the fragrant grass.
imeditatively watching a bucaneering
ichicken-hawk draw widening circles
against the blue and listening to the
vibrant tattoo of a "pecker-wood" on
a far-away tree, and the timorous wet
whistle of a bob-white. The whole
place was very quiet now. For just
one thrilling moment 1t had burgeoned
into sound and movement: when the
sweaty horses had stood snorting and
stamping in the yard with the hounds
iscampering between their legs and the
friding-coats winking like rubies in the
early sunshine!
Had she recognized him as the
smudged tinkerer of the stalled car?
@'She saw me drop that wretched brute
through the window" he chuckled. Il
could take oath to that But she didn't
give me away, true little sport that
she was. And she won't I can't
think of any reason, but know. Was
she angry? wonder!"
At length he rose and went back
to the house. With a bunch of keys
ne had found he went to the stables,
after some difficulty gained access,
and propped the crazy doors and win
dows open to the sun. The building
was airy and well-lighted and con-
tanned a dozen roomy box-stalls,
spacious loft and carriage-house.
The straw bedding had been unre-
moved, mice-gnawed sacking and
rotted hay lay in the managers, and the
warped harness, hanging on its pegs,
was a smelly mass of mildew and
decay. He found stick, moved away
the festooning cobwebs, and moved
the debris piece-meal.
"There!" he said with satisfaction.
There's a place for the motor-if
Uncle Jefferson ever gets it here"
1t was noon when he returned, after
a wash-up in the lake, to the meal
with which Aunt Daphne, in costume
dimly suggestive of bran-meal poul-
tice with bingham apron OF, RECALLED
him. Fried chicken, corn-bread so
soft and fluffy that it had to be lifted

similar fate
No mines are yet opened; no timber
properties yet developed. and no use
is made Of our unlimited water power.
Only handful of visitors come to en-
Joy the wild scenery, the unique
natural conditions. and the invigorat-
ing atmosphere, though our fjords
rival those of Norway, and have the
additional attraction Of being virgin
and unexplored. No charting has been
done, and at that time, as already stat
ed, there was not one light on the
coast from the straits of Belle isle
to Hudson's bay to render navigation
safe. It Is little to be wondered at If
adequate tourist steamers do not ply
in our waters. In fact, Labrador is in
that melancholy stage Of evolution
that must inevitably overtake every
country until attention is turned to
the development Of industries that
man does not share with the tiger
and the shark.
