Further Action to be Taken
Toward Pickle Factory
1t is Hoped That All Farmers
of District Will be Present
at Meeting.

All farmers residing in the
district surrounding the city are
requested to meet at the Com
mercial Club rooms in this city
on Saturday afternoon, March
9th, at which there will be
further discussions toward estab-
fishing a pickle sailing station in
this city by the H. J. Heinz Pickle
company.
This second meeting has been
called for the reason that a large
number of the farmers were un-
able to attend the last meeting
on account of the short notice
and others were attending the
school at Ashland Junction:
The pickle proposition means
a lot to the farmers and to Wash
burn. 1t has proven a good thing
for other localities and should be
tried out here. The Heinz COM
pany is one of the largest con-
Germs engaged in the pickle
business in the country. They
will have a representative, Mr..
L. S. Markley, acreage manager,
at the meeting Saturday and he
will explain many of the details
Of pickle growing to the farmers.
Providing a sufficient number
of acres can be secured for the
growing of cucumbers the COM
pany will establish a station
here. At the last meeting farm
ers pledged thirty or more acres
and since that time committees
have been talking the matter up
among the farmers and it is ex-
pected that the required number
of acres will be secured in a
short time. The company fur
nishes the seed free to farmers
and in return buys all cucumbers
grown at top notch prices.

United Efforts Back of Move
rnent to Secure Service
People in This Section Feel
That it is Much
Needed.

A. H. wilkinson, President of
the First National Bank of Bay
field, was in the city last Friday
evening and met with the Wash
burn Commercial Club and ex-
Eplained a movement that was on
foot to get the Omaha Railway
company to put on night service
between the Chequamegon Bay
district and the Twin Cities.
Resolutions protesting against
the present service and asking
that the new service be furnished
this region were passed by the
club and these will be forwarded
TO the railway officials, together
with similar protests from Ash
land, Bayfield, and other points
in northern Wisconsin.
With the present service it is
impossible for a Minneapolis
business man to come to the Lake
region and transact business and
get home inside of two days.
The same condition applies to
the business man going from
this territory to the Twin Cities.
The tourist business to this
section is also heavy during the
summer months and it is thought
If better service was given by the
railroad this business world x
more than doubled.

CHAPTER Viii.
The Incredible Thinu.

Broad daylight, the top of a morn
ing as rare as ever broke upon the
north country: Alan Law opening be-
wildered eyes to realize the substance
OF a dream come true.
True 1t proved itself, at least, In
part. He lay between blankets upon a
couch of balsam fans, in a corner of
somebody's camp-a log structure,
weather.proof, rudely but adequately
furnished His clothing, rough-dried
but neatly mended, lay upon a chair
at his side.
He rose and dressed in haste, at
once exultlng In his sense OF complete
rest and renewed well-being, prey
to hints of an extraordinary appetite,
and provoked by signs that seemed to
bear out the weirdest flights of his de-
lirious fancies.
There were apparently indisputable
evidences of a woman's recent pres
ence in the camp: blankets neatly
folded upon a second bed of aromatic
balsam in the farther corner; an effect
of orderliness not common with
guides; a pair of dainty buckskin
gauntlets depending from a nail in the
wall; and-he stood staring witlessly
at it for more than a minute-in an
old preserve jar on the table, single
rose, warm and red, dew upon its
petals!
There was also fire in the cook
stove, with a plentiful display Of
things to cook; but despite his hunger
Alan didn't stop for that, but rushed
to the door and threw II open and him
self out into the sunshine, only to
pause, dashed, chagrined, mystified.
There was no other living thing in
sight but a loon that sported far up
the river and saluted him with a
shrek of hooking laughter.
The place was a cleft in the hills,
a table of level land some few acres
in area, bounded on one hand, be-
meath the cliff from which he had
dropped, by a rushing river fat with
recent rains; on the other by second
cliff of equal height. Upstream the
water curved round the shoulder of a
towering hill, downstream the cliffs
closed upon 1t until 1t reared through
narrow gorge.
Near the camp. upon a strip of
shelving beach that bordered the river
where II widened into a deep, dark
pool, two canoes we're drawn up, bot
toms TO the sun. Dense thickets of
pines. oaks, and balsams hedged in
the clearing.
He was, it seemed, to be left severe
ly to himself, that day; when he had
cooked and made way with an enor-
nous breakfast, Alan found nothing
better to do till time for luncheon

the canoe stared along the sights,
then lowered her weapon and, turn
ing, spoke indistinguishably to the
guide, who instantly began to ply a
brisk paddle.
The canoe sped on. vanished swiftly
round a bend.
After long time, Alan votsed his
uhmitigated amazement:
"Why-in the name OF heavenl
WHY
The girl said duly: Don't you
know" And when he ssook his head.
"Her guide told mise you had saved
her life on the Dam at Spirit Like.
Now do you see?"
His countenancg was blanK with
wonder: "Gratitude?"
Rose smiled YEARLY: mot grsti-
tude alone, but something more ter
rible. She rose and held
out her hand. mot that | can blame
her. But come; IL we strike

Instantly one occupant of the
canoe, young and very beautiful wo-
man in mans hunting clothes, spoke
sharp word of command and, as
her guide steadied the vessel with his
paddle, rose in her place so surely
that she scarcely disturbed the nice
balance of the little craft, and curved
her 1.-the body over the bow, head
foremost into the pool.
Mr.. Law had, in point of fact, en-
dured more than he knew; more than
even a weathered woodsman could
have borne without suffering. Forty
eight hours of such heavy woods
walking as he had put in to escape
the forest fire, would have served to
PROSTATE almost any man; add to this
ignoring dozen other mental, nerv-
Gus and physical strains) merely the
fact that he had been half-drowned.
He experienced little fever, little
delirium, then blank slumbers of ex-
haustion.
He awoke in dark of night, wholly
unaware that thirty-siX hours had
passed since his fall. This last, how
ever, and events that had gone before,
he recalled with tolerable clearness-
allowing for the sluggishness Of a
drowsy mind. Other memories, more
vague, of gentle ministering hands, of
face by turns an angels, a flowers,
a fiend's, and a dear womans, trou-
bled him even less materially. He
was already sane enough to allow he
had probably been a bit out of his
head, and since it seemed he had been
saved and cared for, he found no rea-
son to quarrel with present circum-
stances.
Still, he would have been grateful
for some explanation of certain phe-
nomena which still haunted him-such
as faint, elusive scent of roses with
a vague but importunate sense of a
womans presence in that darkened
room-things manifestly absurd g.
With some difficulty, from a dry
throat, he spoke, or rather whis-
pered: "Water!"
In response he heard someone move
over a creaking floor. A sulphur
match spluttered UNANIMOUSLY. A can
die caught fire, eilhouetting-illu
of course!-the figure OF woman in
hunting shirt and skirt. Water
splashed noisily Alan became aware
Of someone who stood at his side, one
hand offering a glass to his lips, the
other gently raising his head that he
might drink with ease.
Draining the glass, he breathed his
thanks and sank back, retaining his
grasp on the wrist of that unreal
hand. 1t suffered him without re-
sistance. The hallucination even
went so far as to say, in a woman's
soft accents:
You are better, Alan?"
He sighed incredulously: "Rose!"
The voice responded "Yes!" Then
the perfume of roses grew still more
strong, seeming to fan his cheek like
a woman's warm breath. And a mir
acle came to pass; for Mr.. Law, who
realized poignantly that all this was
sheer, downright nonsense, distinct
ly felt lips like velvet caress his fore
head.
He closed his eyes, frightened his
grasp on that hand of phantasy, and
muttered rather inarticulately.
The voice asked: What is it,
dear?"
He responded: "Delirium
But | like it Let me rave!"
Then again he slept.

He Toasted famously again at noon;
whiled away several hours vainly whip
ping the pools with rod and tackle
found In the camp, for trout that he
really didn't hope would rise beneath
that blazing sun; and toward three
o'clock lounged back to his aromatic
couch for a nap.
The westering sun had thrown a
deep, cool shadow across the cove
when he was awakened by Emporium
ate hands and voice of magic.
Rose Urine was kneeling beside him,
clutching his shoulders, calling on him
by name-distracted by an inexplica-
BILE anxiety.
He wasted no time discriminating
between dream and reality, but gath
cred both into his arms. And for a
moment she rested there unresisting,
sobbing quietly.

The Hunted Man.

The Hunted Man.
That day was hot and MINDLESS with
an unclouded sky-a day of brass and
burning.
Long before any sound audible to
human ears disturbed the MONDAY
hush, bobcat summing on a log in a
glade to which no trail led, pricked
ears, rose, glanced over shoulder with
q snarl and-of a sudden was no more
there.
Perhaps two minutes later a success
sion of remote crashings began to be
heard, a cumulative volume of sounds
made by some heavy body forcing by
main strength through the underbrush,
and ceased only when a man broke
into the clearing, pulled up, stood for
an instant swaying, then reeled to a
seat on the log, pillowing his head on
arms folded across his knees and shud-
dering uncontrollably in all his limbs
The Yale expositor., 1915-02-18

But even as he strove to calm him
self and rest, the feeling that some
thing was peering at him from behind
a mask of underground grew intoler-
ably acute.
AT length he jumped up, glared wild
ly at the spot where that something
no longer was, flung himself fran
ucally through the brush in pursuit Of
1t, and-found nothing.
With a great effort he pulled him
self together, clamped his teeth upon
the promise not again to give way to
Authorizations, and turned back to the
clearing.
There, upon the log on which he
had rested, he found-but refused to
believe he saw-a playing card, a
trey Of hearts, face up in the sun
glare.
With a gesture of horror, Alan Law
fed the place.
While the sounds of his fight were
still loud, grinning half-breed guide
stole like a shadow to the log, laughed
derisively after the fugitive, picked up
and pocketed the card, and set out
IN tireless, cat-footed pursuit.
An hour later, topping a ridge of
rising ground, Alan caught from the
hollow on its farther side the music of
clashing waters. Tortured by thirst,
he began at once to descend in reck.
less haste.
The shelving moss-beds afforded
treacherous footing; Alan was glad
now and then of the support of ce-
dar, but these grew ever smaller, and
more widely spaced and were not al.
ways convenient to his hand. He
came abruptly and at headlong pace
within sight of the caves of a cliff
and precisely then the hillside seemed
to slip from under him.
His heels fourished in the air. his
back thumped a bed Of pebbles thinly
overgrown with moss. The stones
gave, the moss-skin broke, he began to
slide-grasped at random a youngish
cedar which stayed him imperceptibly,
coming away with all its puny roots
caught at another, no more substan-
tial-and amid shower of loose stone
shot out over the edge and down a
drop of more than thirty feet.
He was instantaneously aware of
the sun, molten pail wheeling mad
ly In the cup or the turquoise sky.
Then dark waters closed over him.
He came up struggling and gasping.
and struck out for something dark
that rode the waters near at hand
something vaguely resembling a
canoe.
Bat his strength was largely spent,
his breath had been driven out of him
by the force of the fall, and he had
swallowed much water-whie the field
Of his consciousness was stricken with
coHfusion.
Within a stroke of an outstretched
PADDLE, he flung Up hanh and wepl
