.I suppose Puttick had a look round for the tracks of the fella who gunued you7,' asked November
 He did, but he didn't find out rofa- ing There was light shower be tween dark and dawn, and the ground on the hill above there is mostly rock
 Such, thens was the story of our coming to Kalmacks, and for the next two or three days we spent our time fshing in the streams, the only move in the direction of the main object of our visit being that Joe, whom Linda insisted upon accompanying, walked over to Senlis lake and had look at the scene of Worke's accident The old tracks, of course, were long since washed away. and [ thought. with the others that Joe's visit had been fruit. less until he showed me the shell of mn exploded cartridge.
 eeThe bullet which went through Bill Worke,s leg came out of that I found it on the hill above. It's a 4575 cen traI fire rife, an old s76 model"
 s.Thts is great discovery you and Miss Petersham have made"
 Joe smiled ssThere's nothing much to 1t, anyway. She lost her brooch somewhere by the lake and was IooEin 2 for 1t when I found this. Joe indi- cated the exploded shell The noun tains is full of 45.75 guns. 1876 pat tern. Some years back a big Iron n1ongery store down here went bust and threw fine stock of them caliber rifles on the market. A few dollars would buy one, so there's one in pret ty nigh every house and two and three in some.

 'tAH right.'' said l. ''By the way Joe, there's a side to the situation don't understand We've been here four days, and nothing has happened mean Mir. Petersham has Aaad n word Of where to put the $5.0oo black mail these criminals are demanding oj him
 Maybe there's g reason for that
 s'I can't think of any,

 saThe sand7' I repeated
 tsYes, haven't you noticed? I get MT. Petersham to have two loads Of sand brought up from the lake and laid all round the house. It takes a track wonderful.

 They'll come?''
 t'Yes, they'n likely come.''
 But as it happeneN Joe was wrong. I believe that his reasoning was cor rect enough, and that it was the fear of leaving such marks as would enable us to gather something of their iden- tity that kept the enemy from pinning upon our door the letter which finally arrived prosaically enough in @ cheap store envelope that bore the Priam- Tt1le postmark. The contents of this letter were as follows:

 speed
 On lonely pathsto meet no more
 The world is full of nice. pretty young girls who might be happy wives and mothers if in time to come marrying men These girls scorn meeting men through "a pick -up4ac- quaintance in the possible hope Of getting husband. Nor would they jump at the chance of marrying the first, man that came along to escape being an old maid
 Such girls would not marry a profit gate or man they would have to support just for the privilege of tack ing Mrs. to their names. The world is equally full of nice young men who would be only too glad to marry if they could be brought in contact with worthy young women. They respect the girls who will not hirt If they could meet them through an introduc@ tion. nine times out of ten it would end in their buying the marriage ring. Lack of introductions is the barrier which keeps hearts apart Why are there not good Samafitans who w1ll take an interest in lives groping in the dark trying to find each other in the right way2
 4 woman or wealth takes delight n introducing the daughter Of her bosom friend to the equally prosperous son of some other woman acquaintance in the fond desire of making match. But does she think of introducing the poor little seamstress who trtadges to her home through summers heat ana winters storms to do her beflest to the energetic young salesman in her hus- bands employ who is sent to her house frequently on business2 It never occurs to her to introduce the gov erness of her young children to the ambitious society reporter who has a good future before him and who has secretly admired the pretty faced young woman.
 And SO all along the line There's many a deserving one whom she could have benefited but wouIdnst. These mafrons will exclaim Indignantly that they are not conducting natrimoniaIa bureaus and it is not for them to in- troduce people who might turn cut to be anything but congeniaI after wedlock and the blame would be put upon their shoulders for bringing them together The introducing of 4 few young people during the course of a lifetime would hardly be con sidered as business affair. These things come about natura1iy, and the gritffying Knowledge that a good I work Is being kept up As long as she believes both parties to be worthy .f her conndence and to be honorable z pie she need concern herself no
 ether with their after affairs Peo pie decry the falling off of marriages, but do not concern themselves with the manner of rectifying it, even all though the opportunity presents it. seIf. Young girls must wait for their Prince Charming to come to them They cannot go forth and find one suitable Lack Of introduction is the srying pity of our times.

Crisp Waff1es.

A crisp waffle recipe which one housekeeper has used for over twenty milk. a seant half cllpfuI of melted butter, .one-half teaspoonful of salt and sifted flour to make soft bat ter. Beat in the well beaten yolks of three eggs and when ready to make turn in the stiffly beaten whites of the eggs and two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, sifted in with a little flour that has been reserved. Beat up fast 3. few minutes and bake at once.
 The success of waff1es is as much in baking as making.
 For gas flame use a straight sheet Iron or tin collar three and half inches high, to it the iron. so it will turn easily. Have the iron well heat ed and greased and do not fill too full
 Do not cook too fast, but brown on both sides. Must be eaten at once. If piled up they soften.
