from the Great Woods of the North to
the pond of Paddy the Beaver in the
Green Forest.
Honker nodded. II see your ears are
just as good as ever they were. said
he. That is what 1 said. Flathorns
is having troubles a-plenty. At least
he was when 1 left on my way here.
1t seems queer that such big fellow
as he should have anything to worry
about, but when last saw him he was
so worried that he was thinking OF
leaving all his favorite places because
he didn't feel that they were safe any
longer"

Buster Bear, Honlker, Paddy the

you think Flathorns is like?" asked
Honker.
81 haven't the least idea," replied
Peter, quite frankly. You said he is
big, but so is Buster, and he is afraid
Of traps. I don't see anything to laugh
at"
There isn't replied Buster. kindly.
'It just struck us as funny to think
of any one setting traps for old Flat
horns, but, as you've never seen him,
of course you wouldn't understand.
He's bigger than !. He's the biggest
Of all the people who live in the Great
Woods"
Peters eyes opened wider than ever
Are you afraid of him?" he asked. in

for he couldn't imagine Buster being
afraid of any one excepting a hunter

THE EVENING STORY.
THE LITTLE CHILD.
Copyright, 1915, by ". Werner.)

The warm weather had come with a
rush and old Mrs. Gay was out enjoy
ing it. She sat upon her comfortable
porch gazing at the glad new world
singing and building and growing
green all about her. Many passersby
fingered to gaze at the lovely yard,
with it's promise of bloom but nobody
set foot within it. for, although old
Mrs. Gay did not fence the public out,
the public knew her temper and her
jealousy of her possessions, and were
duly warned. -
No. old Mrs. Gay never feared that
her tulips would be f1lched from her
over night, for in spite of all she was
generous. She gave her flowers freely.
as she gave her money. But then, as
she said to herself, such giving did not
denote virtue; she simply could not use
either all the money or all the flowers
herself. and had to give them away in
order to make room for more. For she
had nobody in all the world that was
dearer to her than her least acquaint-
ance, unless, indeed, it We're Sarah, the
big, elderly. sharp-eyed woman whose
whole business in life was to make her
comfortable. And Mrs. Gay was very
comfortable, since comfort was a thing
one could buy. it seemed. AS for love
and happiness, she never expected a
bit of either again in this world.
So she was comfortable without be-
ing happy this rare spring morning, as
she sat watching pair of orioles build
in the nearest of her tall shade trees.
A fresher note than the orioles
caught her dulling ear. and she turned
her head. Down the sidewalk. upon a
fractions hobby-horse stick, pranced a
most bewitching little boy in a blue
suit-a little boy whose hair fioated
like golden mist about his square, rosy
face. Just in front of the house the
tulips attracted him, and he paused to
admire them. Slowly his gaze passed
up the rows until it came to the porch
and her. and he smiled in such friend
~ way that she smiled back. Where
upon he suddenly remembered the busi-
away.
Az hour later he came dancing back,
and this time he was drawing a little
cart which looked as if it had been
through d great deal. Again the tulips
charmed him. and he abandoned the
cart and trotted up between the rows
pointing with lumpy little paw and
saying something to himself.
Mustn't pick!' warned old Mrs. Gay.
He gave her another frank smile and
bounded away, with the cart bouncing
at his heels.
Whose child is that, Sarah?" de-
manded Mrs. Gay of her housekeeper.
i've been wondering that very thing
myself" Sarah replied. Il didn't know
there were any children in this neigh

rom the Montreal Gazette.

FROM tne Montreal Gazette.
Veteran members of the old Tuque
Bleue Snowshoe Club referred inter-
estingly to past days at the diamond
jubilee celebration. Men prominent in
Montreals life were present, and one
speaker stated that the Victoria Rifles
really had their berth in the Tuque
Bleue. There were on hand men with
good records in the militia as in civil
paths. One at least is all authority on
the history of the Fenian raids. Snow
shoers went to the front to defend
their country then, and it is worth no
ing that some of the members of the
Tuque are at the front today both as
officers and privates. In this respect
the clubs record is most praiseworthy
There has been no going backwards
with age
When the Tuque Bleue was founded
Canada was little-known country and
it's population was small. Snowshoeing
was the winter outdoor pastime of the
day, the ski not having put in its
appearance in America. The snow
shoers were young men who could be
depended upon to answer any patriotic
call, and were always ready to help
make a winter carnival or sporting
meet of any kind a success.

American Efficiency.

tulips. 'The child" she muttered.
II knew it," Sarah said, as she rushed
down the steps. She picked the boy
up. He lay limp, one arm dangling,
his eyes closed.
Bring him here! Bring him into the
house." commanded old Mrs. Gay. and
led the way.
"Pshaw!" said Sarah. Il never saw
you take on SO before. He's just stun

She laid him down Upon the great

Specialists now do not despair OF any
injury to the eye-almost-so long as
that portion of the retina they call the
"macula" has not been touched and the
optic nerve has not been injured.
"One can understand the tremendous
violences of this war;" said DIR. Borsch,

After lunch old Mrs. Gay returned to
the porch. The street was dreamily
still. Even the orioles seemed to be
taking a siesta. Mrs. Gay felt more
lonely than usual She would have

again with the old rage, disappoint-
ment, fierce resentment; her eyes
blurred with angry tears.
And then there came into view and
hearing a gay little boy in blue, astride
an absurd little velocipede that creaked
at every joint, for its state was similar
to that of the cart. This child seemed
to have only worn-out playthings. Mrs.
Gay brushed her eyes and watched
him. On he came, madly trudging the
creaky machine, and singing at the top
of his voice.

SEASONABLE NOTES
FOR WINDOW PLANTS

Window plants at this time of the
year require temperature of about
90 degrees, and should be watered
SparIngly until an active growth is
resumed after which a more lib-
e'al appilcation may be given. Any
'Hoo'S which may be growing too
long on the geraniums may be
pihched back to the desired length.
Such plants as Primulas. Cyclamens.
Clherarias, will soon be in blossom
and every few days IL will be we'll to
