Then it would seem to me, mon
sieur, that you could safely wait the
trial of D'Artigny until our arrival at
the fort. If he does not feel himself
suspected, he will make no effort to
escape, and / give you the pledge you
ask"
It was not altogether graciously
that he agreed to this, yet the man
could not refuse and / was glad
enough to escape thus easily, for it
was my fear that he might insist on
my yielding much more to preserve
D'Artigny from immediate cOndemna-
ton and death. The fellow had the
power, and the inclination, and what
good fortune saved me, can never
know I think he felt certain fear
of me, a doubt of how far he might
presume on my good nature.
Certainly I gave him small encour-
agement to venture further, and yet
had he done so / would have been at
nv wits end. Twice the words were
upon his lips-a demand that l yield
to his mastery-but he must have read
in my eyes a defiance he feared to
front, for they were not uttered. Twas
that he might have this very talk that
he had found me place alone in his
canoe, and I would have respected
him more had he dared to carry out
his desire The coward in the man
was too apparent, and yet that very
! cowardice was proof of treachery.
What he hesitated to claim boldly he
would attain otherwise if he could. /
could place no confidence in his word,
nor reliance upon his honor.

ening mist. This action evidenced the
first intimation I had for days of his
continued interest in my welfare, and
my heart throbbed with sudden pleas

mollition of danger, he certainly spoke
words of instruction to his Indian pad
dlers, and so manipulated his craft as
to keep not far distant, although slight

in which / sat.
Cassion had already vanished in the
fog, which swept thicker and thicker
along the surface Of the water, the
nearer boats becoming mere indistinct
shadows. Even within my own canoe
the faces of those about me appeared
gray and blurred, as the damp vapor
swept over us in dense clouds. It was

some by the glare of lightning which

to yield to D'Artigny's advice-but the
sergeant swore to himself, and turned
the prov of our canoe inward, hug
ging the shore as closely as he dared,
his anxious eyes searching every rift
in the mist.
Yet, dark and drear as the day was,

The Break of Storm.

The Break of Storm.
We bad no more pleasant weather
for days, the skies being overcast and
the wind damp and chill. 1t did not
rain, nor were the waves dangerous,
although choppy enough to make pad

so as to prevent becoming lost in the
smother, and as we dare not venture
to strike out boldly from point to

ing along the curves.
The canoes kept closer together,
never venturing to become separated,

the bows continually called to each

ing to the water concealed from our
sight the clouds above. When it came
it burst upon us with mad ferocity,
the wind whirling to the north and
striking us with all the force of three
hundred miles of open sea. The mist
was swept away with that first fierce
gust and we were struggling for life
in wild turmoil of waters. [ had
but glimpse of it-a glimpse of wild,
raging sea; of black, scurrying clouds,
so close above / could almost reach
out and touch them; of dfmly revealed
canoes flung about like chips, driving
before the blast.
Our own was hurled forward like an
arrow, the Indian paddlers working
like mad to keep stern to the wind,
their long hair whipping about The
soldiers crouched in the bottom, cling
ing grimly to any support, their white
faces exhibiting the abasement of fear.
The sergeant alone spoke, yelling his
orders, as he welded steering paddle,
his hat blown from his head, his face
CHASTITY with sudden terror 1t was but
the glimpse Of an instant; then a pad,
ole broke, the canoe swung sideways,
balanced on the crest of wave and
went over.
l was conscious of cries, shrill, in
stantly smothered, and then I sank,
struggling hard to keep above water,
yet borne down by the weight of the
canoe. I came up again, choking and
half strangled, and sought to grip the
boat as it whirled past. My fingers
found nothing to cling to, slipping
along the wet keel, until went down
again, but this time holding my
breath. My water-soaked garments
and heavy shoes made swimming al
most impossible, yet / struggled to
keep face above water. Two men had
reached the canoe, and had somehow
found hold. One Of these was an In
dian, but they were already too far
away to aid me, and in another mo-
ment had vanished in the white crest
ed waves. Not another Of our BOATS

Surprise Mr.. and Mrs. Horton.

The Albert Horton home of Des
Laos was the scene of very pretty
surprise last Sunday when about sc
people, children, grandchildren and ole
neighbors and friends of Grandpa and
Grandma Horton, gathered up town
and went in body to their home. The
yard was full of autos and rigs and
people when Grandpa came out. He
was reminded it was his 18th birth
day. The crowd was made to fee
more than welcome as it is Grandpa's
and Grandma's usual way Of greeting
their friends. Tables were placed on
the lawn loaded to the utmost capacity
with good things to eat, with Mr.. and
Mrs. Horton at the head, and pictures
were taken of the crowd seated at the
tables. Those present are as follows
w. N. Sayers and family, E. S. Wat
erman and family, Frank Davis and
wife, Walter Slaybaugh and family
Elmer Williams and family, Fred
Shaffer and family, Ira Shaffer and

depart for home, wishing Mr.. Horton
many more happy birthdays.

Howard Huston Left for Alaska.

Howard Huston, the we'll known
Surrey professor, left Tuesday for Sc
attic, where he will board boat the
latter part of the week, bound for
Alaska. Mr.. Huston will combine bus
mess and pleasure on the trip and ex-
poets to be away a month. He will
visit Skagway, near which place the
Alaska Coal and Petroleum Co. oper-
ates, and will make Investigations for
a number of investors in this district
He expects to 60 to Nome, Alaska, be-
fore his return Mr. Huston has prom
ised to write letter or two for the
Independent while on his interesting
journey. Upon his return, he will go
to Chicago, where he will enter the
University Of Chicago.
Mr.. Huston states that his trip to
Alaska will really not cost a great
deal, something less than 5000 for all
expenses. This makes an ideal sum-
mer outing

Town Criers to Meet Soon.

The Minot Town Criers, after a
months idleness, will again take up
the work on Monday evening, August
18th, at which time the work for the
ensuing year will be mapped out.
There are many things that have
been waiting the action of the club
that will be taken up at this meeting
and discussed, and it is expected that
definite action will be taken on several
of the propositions. ..
Thus far the club has saved its
members considerably over $500 in
turning down fake advertising
schemes, and no doubt the fact that
Minot had such an organization kept
others from trying to work advertis-
ing schemes that were not legitimate.
At this months meeting each men,
Der is expected to have one of their
friends preferably a competitor in
husiness-as his guest.

When Pay Day Comes Once a Week.

When Pay Day Comes Once Week.
Herman Kunkle, from south of Nor
wich, was in the city yesterday. Mr..
Kunkle has made some money this
year. In fact the way he farms, he
can't lose any year. He has pay day
once a week. This isn't bad plan.
He doesn't like the old plan of farming
where a farmer is millionaire one
month in a year and a poor man the
other eleven months. He has tried
this plan without success. He keeps
only five COWS and hundred hens, but
he sells enough butter and eggs to
pay most of his expenses. He sold
S72 worth Of butter and eggs in Mi
not in six weeks. Not a bad record.
And then he has his crops, and good
ones too. He has 95 acres Of Mar
quis wheat in the shock, good for IL
bushels per acre. He has a 13-year-
old son and spent only SIS for hired
help this season, man couple of
days during haying. He has 43 loads
of fine hay put up and will make rs
loads more.

Coming Along in Fine Shape.

The 500 park, opposite the passen-
ger depot, is coming along in fine
shape, considering the difficulties that
have been encountered. Minot is such
busy city this summer that it is al
most impossible to secure teams and
men to do work of the kind that is
needed to make the park thing of
beauty and joy forever, but General
Agent 3elanger has been untiring in
his efforts, and at last his work is
bearing fruit.
The tract was graded early in the
season, but when it came to the mat
ter of black dirt for the plot, Mr.. Be-
LANCER ran up against snag, for he
could not hire anybody to haul the
dirt from the company's property
south of the city. But during the last
two weeks a number of loads of black
lcam have found their way to the plat,
and next summer the 500 will have
one Of the finest little parks in Minot.
