An EVentful Vacation
CONTINUED from page oneI

unspoiled by the commercialism of urban
life, offered to sell me six fine mink skins
which he said he had trapped the previous
winter for fifteen dollars. knowing that these
skins would bring on an average of seven
dollars each in the wholesale market | made
haste to close the DEAL Of course it was
| shame to buy the skins from the poor half
breed for such small price but the virus of
accumulation had entered my veins and |
could not resist making the investment, even
though | felt somewhat ashamed of taking
advantage of the poor Indian lack of com
mercial instinct. | settled with my con-
science by making him present of some
fishing tackle.
Upon my arrival home tried to repress
feeling of self-satisfaction as explained
my cleverness to the old folk and accepted
their congratulations. My father even went
to the extent of presenting me with a fine
meerschaum pipe in token of my astuteness.
A few days later exhibited the furs to
friend who was in the wholesale fur business
and inquired how much he would pay me
for them. The furrier carefully examined
the mink skins and looked at me with a
quzziCal smile as he said cob, about thirty
cents for the bunch will be good price,
guess!''
1t appears that between the two LAYERS of
skin on the hide of the fur, some miserable
worms or insects had been conducting exca-
waiting operations for few years and the
least pull on the hide would tear apart their
| FIBRE
AS result of this experience | almost lost
my faith in human nature. Since that event.
full day | have never heard anyone speak of
the natural honesty and mobility of
the Indian nature but what an insane desire
pervades every fibre of my body to do the
speaker bodily injury. Possibly the fact
that Tome was of mixed blood had some
thing to do with his shameful deviation
from the path in which the good father of
his parish had been trying to guide his foot
steps. When Tome is few years older he
should be an interesting figure in the back
country commercial life where his peculi-
ar talents will make of him a local captain
of industry-unless something will happen
20 him before that time.
| hope to visit Tome and the Lake Labelle
once more but not until the roads are either
repaired or team of horses with a higher
appreciation of their duty to men can be
obtained in that never to be forgotten coun-
try of my first big vacation.

the efforts of others to prove he isn't.
Less time should be devoted to fixing the
blame, and more to repairing the injury, if
possible.
If you sing song as you 60 along,
In the face of the real or fancied wrong,
In spite of the doubt if you'll find it out,
And show a heart that is brave and
stout;
If you'll laugh at the jeers and refuse
the tears,
You'll force the ever reluctant cheers
That the world denies when coward
cries
To give to the man who bravely tries.
And you'll win success with a little
song

Many of us know how, even in our child
hood, some blank, discontinued face on the
background of our home has marred our
summer mornings. Why was it, when the
birds were singing, when the fields were a
garden, there was somebody who found it

He who keeps his ear open to calumny
and backbiting may reasonably expec, to
have it filled. The best way, both for our
own sakes and that of others, is to keep it
shut; to hear but little. and to pray the
more.-T. c. Upham.
They who know not how to act agreea-

he has already the beginnings in himself.

There never was husband so fair and
generous that his wife's dry goods bills did

Let the time of temptation be the time of
silence. Words react upon feelings; and if
Satan, in the time of our trials, can induce
US to utter hasty or unadvised word, he
will add by so doing to the power of his
previous assaults. and increase the proba-
bility of his getting the victory.

 "Ohl" said Mona, quickly. "She lost the letters he'd sent her?"
 Lost them-or they stolen from her. It doesn't much matter which, The point is- they've turned up In the hands of man who knows their value-or thinks he does.

that's just the thing for my call on old Reynolds
 They moved away from the Grand Hotel that day Much as the two girls liked it. they realized that it was not the best place to use as headquarters during such campaign as they now planned to execute. And it was from small furnished apartment, in house and quarter where questions asked, that Mona, in widows weeds, set out for the suburban home of old Reynolds Thomas F.
