eager, staring eyes, and peered
through the sudding foam at the bot
tom of the fall, over the frothy black
waters of the pool, and along the
rugged sides that were deeply worn
by uncounted ages Of whirling flood
and grinding ice
He did not see the slightest sign of
Lorimer!
Mashkaugan then sat down and
with trembling hands tried to cut to-
bacco for his pipe. But he put it in
his pocket again and passed his
sleeve over his forehead, streaming
with sweat.
He shivered like one with some
malignant ague. He could not re-
main in that spot. for suddenly 1t
seemed to him as if out Of the roar
of the crashing water there burst
forth voices that were calling him a
murderer and swore vengeance ever
lasting upon him!
In frenzy of haste ne carried the
canoe to the end of the portage.
Dreading the sight of the raging wa
tiers, he took long detour over the
cliffs for the remainder of his load,
and returned the same way, Chamber
ing with catlike ease over some aw
full going.
Yet when he came TO place
gan to stagger like drunken man.
He put the canoe back in the wa
ter and loaded it in desperate haste.
After he entered it the swift current
bore him very fast, yet his long, sim
envy arms piled the paddle as fierce
ly as If some gruesome thing were
following him.
AS he went on he scanned the sur
face of the water, fearing to see an
awful, upturned white face that
might reproach him and hover above
his canoe while he journeyed.
Until after shutdown he drove the
canoe with utter recklessness into
the middle of boiling waters, yet al
ways emerging safely; but in the
long dead waters there was no ex-
element The wind had fallen, and
the stiffness of the dark forest
seemed to penetrate his soul with
terror.
1t was so late and dark when he
stopped that ne was unable to pick
out fair camping-place.
He lighted a tiny fire on poor
ground full of roots and stones and
boiled his tea; but when he tried to
eat, the morsels seemed to cleave to
the roof of his mouth. The scalding
dr. alone was grateful.
He did not try to put up his tent
merely rolling himself in his blank
cts; but sleep would not come.
His evil deeds had hitherto been
limited to various pilferings and the
breaking of laws which he considered
unjust. The promises and the threats
of Curran, and the dislike he had for
Lorimer, made him a ready tool in
the hands of the chief agent.
But now that the deed was done,
he suffered with agonizing fear. The
consciousness he finally lost was re-
placed by visions in which he saw
the foul fends of the Indians and the
evil spirits of the whites leagued to-
gether against him in an appalling
array of grinning, monstrous faces.

women's Clubs Gather in Racine.

The eighteenth annual convention
OF the Wisconsin State Federation of
Women's Clubs, to be held at Racine,
November 4, 5 and 6, promises to be
one Of the most interesting politically
of any yet held, and quite as exciting
as any, barring possibly that at James
Vile, two years ago.
The report OF the nominating COM
mittee has been kept a profound se-
cret, in spite of the pronounced opin-
ion OF many of the clubs that the 5000
club women Of the state should know
in advance who the nominees are, in
order to oppose them II 1t is desired.
The nominating committee chairman
said recently that 1t was difficult
enough to get a president to serve,
even II secrecy were promised. and
that as the candidates would not like
to have their names mentioned In the
papers as being the choice Of some
clubs and opposed by others. the com
mittee had pledged itself to secrecy
on the subject.

SOUPS THAT WILL BE LIKED
For the Colder Gays There 10 Moth
ing Better Than That Made With
Peas-other Suggestions.

To make thick pea soup wash and
soak overnight one pint OF split peas.
Next morning put them into pot
with two quarts Of water. Meantime
fry until brown two sliced onions and
head OF celery in two ounces OF
clarified dripping. Put them in with
the. peas and two slices OF bread cut
diagonally, a teaspoonful OF salt and
half that amount of pepper. Bring
to the boil. simmer for one and a
half hours, rub through a sieve, add
one pound Of mashed potatoes, return
1t all to the pot and bring once more
just to the boiling point Strain if
desired. II the soup is not thick
enough add a tablespoonful each Of
flour and butter rubbed together and
let the soup heat for five minutes
longer. This soup is very nutritious
and would take the place of meat.
For good cabbage soup remove
the outer leaves from two small cab.
bages and cut into shreds with half a
head of celery. Soak In boiling water
for ten minutes. drain and cool in
fresh boiling water for ten minutes
Once more drain and place in a pan
with two pints of stock or water, one
ounce of finely minced sweet herbs
and pepper and salt to taste. Then
bring to a boil and simmer for fifteen
or twenty minutes Serve with grated
cheese.
Potato soup is good and cheap, es-
pecially If made without meat, al
though scraps of meat or gravy my
be added If liked. Cut three medium
sized potatoes into thin slices, add
one small slice onion and handful
Of rice, Boil in water sufficient to
cover. Parsley heightens the flavor,
but it should be lifted out when we'll
cooked When the potatoes are done
blend piece of butter the size of an
egg with Drowned -four and stir it
into the soup. This gives a rich color
and appetizing flavor Milk may be
added, but 1t should be sparingly
used. You may add carrots. beans,
peas and other leftover vegetables to
such soup. Drop dumplings are nice
to serve with this soup Take one
egg. one-half eggshell of water,
pinch of salt and one teaspoonful of
baking powder Add enough -four to
make dough that viii drop easily
from teaspoon. Remove when they
rise to the top of the soup.

You Will recall that last year ii
was found necessary to levy special
tax of $1.5OO,OOO." says Secretary Of
State Donald in his letter to the coun-
ty clerk. mot only is it unneces-
sary to repeat this tax for the cur
rent year. but it is possible to elm
mate entirely the $450,000 tax for the
new capital and 100000 of the au-
thorized $1,2OO.0OO for highways.
Il find that the estimate of general
fund receipts for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1914, was too low. The
estimate was prepared with the ut
most care, but final data were not
available at that time. There was
received from railroad companies and
departmental fees several hundred
thousand dollars more than was an
ticipated; for this reason 1t Is now
possible to remit $650,O00 of the state
tax for the ensuing year
Section 1O69a of the statutes en-
powers the governor, the secretary
of state and the state treasurer to
apply any surplus in the general fund
as a part of the state tax levy. Ac-
ton by this board was taken October
q, renting the above mentioned
$3.50 900. This makes a total of &c.
'308,410 RENTED during the last

tax levied in Milwaukee county was
