"An attempt on the part OF two

with a heavy consignment OF whis.
key was thwarted this morning when
Deputy Prohibition Commissioner
Curry discovered that wrapped In a
handkerchief around the handles OF
two heavy suitcases were tags stating
the suit case contained % quarts OF
whiskey. The women were taken, rom
the train at the local station, but hav.
ing their liquor properly labeled, they
were not molested by the officers.
However, when 1t was explained 70
them that they would be unable to
take the whiskey home with them,
they accepted the advice OF local of
ficers and caught a street car for Cat
lettsburg, determined to make the sa'
loon keeper refund their money for,
the whiskey which they had purchased
in the belief that they could get It
home. The women did not give their
names, stating that they lived at Lo.
gan and that their husbands worked
in the mines there"

BY-PRODUCT OF GREAT WAR.

: NGUAG is a thing which has been little affected
by former wars. Even long continued efforts to
impose a strange tongue upon a conquered people
have seldom stamped out a native tongue. There are
well known example OF this in the history Of Poland.
Alsace.Lorraine and Hungary.
Oddly enough the one thing upon which a foreign Ian
guage does leave a trace in time of war is the fashions.
The tricorne of Napoleon returns to style about once
in seven years. Many American boys get the "Hessians"
and Butcher" fixed in mind not from their history les
sons but from q certain style OF boots. And many wo-
men know about Garibaldi only from a fashion in blouses.
But new conditions have arisen in the present war.
Thousands of prisoners are living for months in the bar
racks Of strange countries. The desire for knowledge,
the wish to acquire several languages, is greater than
ever before. No armies have ever been SO well educated
as the armies of Europe.
Thus it may happen that the greatest war in all his
tory will not pass, as former wars have done, without
leaving permanent. and valuable additions to the yocab-
ularies Of the various nations.

an open quarrel between the two men,
and so departed quickly. Later, Fa-
Their Allouez told me that In the over
turning 'of the canoe the young sieur
had saved the life of the Algonquin
chief, bringing him ashore unconscious,
helpless from a broken shoulder. This
accident to Altudah led to the trans
ferring of the injured Indian to u

D'Artigny in advance.
It was five days later, and In the
heart of all that was desolate and
drear, when the long-sought opportu-
nifty came in most unexpected fashion.
We had made camp early, because or
rough water ahead, the passage OF
which it was not deemed best to at
tempt without careful exploration. So,
while the three heavily laden canoes
drew up against the bank, and pre-
pared to spend the night, the leading
canoe was stripped and sent forward,
manned only with the most expert OF
the Indian paddlers to make sure the
perils of the current. From the low

through those madly churning waters
above. Cassion was issuing his orders
loudly, but exhibited no inclination to
accompany the party, and suddenly
the frail craft shot out from the
shore, with D'Artigny at the steering
paddle, and every Indian braced for
his task, and headed boldly into the
smother. They vanished as though
swallowed by the mist, Cassion and
a half dozen soldiers racing along the
shore line in an effort to keep abreast
of the laboring craft
Tt was a wild, desolate spot In which
we were, a mere rift in the bluffs,
which seemed to overhang us, covered
with a heavy growth of forest. The
sun was still an hour high, although
it was twilight already beside the
river, when Cassion and his men came
struggling back to report that the ca
noe had made safe passage, and, TAX
Ing advantage of his good humor, I
proposed a climb up an opening Of
the bluff, down which led a deer trail
plainly discernible.
"Not l." he said, casting a glance
upward. 'The run over the rocks will
do me for exercise tonight"
"Then will I assay it alone" / re-

SO long"
"'Twill be a hard climb, and they
tell me the pere has strained a tendon

Sand what of that!' l burst forth,
giving vent to my indignation. Am I
q ~ten-year-old to be guarded every step
! take? IT'S not far to the summit,
and no danger. You can see yourself
the trail is not steep. Faith! l will
go now, just to show that l am at
liberty"
He laughed, an unpleasant sound to
1t, yet made 10 effort to halt me. The
rude path l followed was narrow, but
not steep enough to prove wearisome,
and, as it led up through a crevice
in the earth, finally emerged at the
top of the bluff at a considerable dis
lance above the camp 1 had left. Thick
woods covered the crest, although there
were open plains beyond, and I was
obliged to advance to the very edge
in order to gain glimpse of the river.
Once there, however, with footing
cur on a fat rock, the scene out
spread was one of wild and fascinat-
ing beauty. Directly below me were
the rapids, rock strewn, the white
spray leaping high in air, the swift,
green water swirling past in tremend-
Gus volume. 1t scarcely seemed as
though boats could live in that smoth-
er, or find passage between those jut-
ting rocks, yet as / gazed more close
~ l could trace the channel close in
against the opposite shore, and note
where the swift current bore back
across the river.
Leaning far out, grasping a branch
to keep from falling, I distinguished
the at the upper landing, and the
Indians busily preparing camp. At
first I saw nothing of any white man.
but was gazing still when D'Artigny
emerged from some shadow and
stepped down beside the boat. I know
not what instinct prompted him to
turn and look up intently at the bluff
towering above. / scarcely compre-
hended either what swift impulse led
me to undo the neckerchief at my
throat and hold 1t forth in signal. An
instant he stared upward, shading his

He still grasped my hand, and I had
no thought Of Withdrawing 1t. To me
he was a friend, loyal, trustworthy,
the one alone to whom 1 could con-
fide. Together we clambered over
the rough rocks to where the narrow
cleft led downward.

CHAPTER TX.
We Attain the Ottawa.

1t was not yet dawn when the stif
In the camp aroused me, and the sun
had not risen above the bluffs, or be-
gun to tinge the river, when u laden
canoes left the bank and commenced
their days journey up stream. D'Ar-
ffgny was off in advance, departing in
deed before l had left the tent, the
chief seated beside him. l caught but
a glimpse of them as the n round
ed the bend in the bank. and slipped
6TTen1y away through the lingering
shadows, yet 1t gladdened me to know
his eyes were turned toward my tent
until they vanished.
A new distribution had been ar
ranged, Chevet accompanying the SER
geant, leaving the commissaire and
me alone, except for the pere, who had
position in the bow. l observed this
new arrangement from underneath
lowered lashes, but without comment,
quietly taking the place assigned me,
and shading my face from the first
rays Of the sun.
At noon we landed In a sheltered
cove, brilliant with wild flowers, and
partook Of food, the rearward canoes
joining us, but D'Artigny was still
ahead, perhaps under orders to keep
away. To escape Cassion l clambered
up the front of the cliff, and had view
from the summit, marking the sweep
OF the river for many a league, a
scene of wild beauty never to be for
gotten. / fingered there at the edge
until the voice of the commissaire re-
called me to my place in the zoe
It is. of no consequence now what
rive conversed about during that long
afternoon, as we pushed steadily on
against the current. Cassion EN-
ldeavored to be entertaining and I
made every effort to encourage him,
although my secret thoughts were not
pleasant ones. He had set out to over
come my scruples, to conquer my will,
Iand was merely biding his time, seek
ing to learn the best point of attack.
1t was with this end in view that he
kept me 10 himself, banishing Chevet,
and compelling D'Artigny to remain
well in advance. He was testing me
now by his tales of Quebec, his boast
ing of friendship with the governor,
his stories of army adventure, and
the wealth he expected to &unas
through his official connections. Yet
the very tone he assumed, the conceit
shown in his narratives, only served
to add to my dislike. This creature
was my husband, yet 1 shrank from
him, and once, when he dared to touch
my hand, I drew it away as though
It were contamination. 1t was then
that hot anger leaped into his eyes,
and his true nature found expression
before he could restrain the words:
! Mon dieu! What do you mean, you
lchit?"
"Only that I am not won by a few
soft words, monsieur" I answered
coldly.
"But you are my wife; twill be
well for you to remember that"
Nor am I likely to forget, yet be-
cause a priest has mumbled words
over Us does not make me love you"
"SacreI' he burst forth, yet careful
to keep bis voice pitched to my ears
alone, you think me a pIaything, but
