Then in the night when I slept, there came the wolves to eat the horse, and they had little pinch of me also. as you can see; but after that I was on guard with my pistols, and they had no more of me. There lived, very warm and nice, for ten days"
 "Ten days!" I cried. What did you eat?''
 'tWhy. ate the horse. It was what you call board and lodging to me. But of course have sense to eat the legs and live in the body. There were many dead about who had their water bottles, so had all could wish. And on the eleventh day there came pa- trol of light cavalry and all was we'll 7

Edie and I were out walking on the sea beach on the sixth, and could talk of nothing but my old friend, for, indeed, he was the only friend of my own age that I had at that time.

ANNAPOLIS FOUNDED IN 16o4
Ncva Scotia Earliest coIonized Land in North America, With Excep-
 tion of St. Augustine.

Nova Scotia may lay claim to be- ing the earliest colonized land in North America, with the exception of St. Au- gustine, Fla, where the Spanish es- tablishment was made as early as i565. Port Royal, now the little town . of Annapolis, was founded in 1904. three years before the English settled at Jamestown. The brave French pioneers found it necessary to sus- pend their colony for three years, but the settlement was re-established in 1910 by group of Acadians.
 The Acadians were in almost con- stant conflict with the English. The colony fell into the hands of the Eng lish twice, and was each time returned to the French before the English final " captured 1t in ITO. The Acadians remained steadfast in their hopes that French rule would some day return, but their hope was destined never to be realized. They, however, persisted iE maintaining their identity even against the English insistence that they abandon their allegiance to their mother country.
 The descendants of the Acadians, numbering 300, 900. are to be found in Maryland, Virginia, the 'Carolinas, ( eorgia and Louisiana. When the Acadians were expelled from the Basin of Monas. Grand Pre-, when they re- fused to take the oath of fealty to the English sovereign in 1755, many of them escaped to the wilderness and later drifted back to their former homes only to find them occupied by new settlers from New England states.

"WE SHALL SEE"

Synopsis.-Writing long after the events described, Jack Calder. Scot farmer of West Inch, tells how, in his childhood, the feasr of invasion by Napoleon, at tAat time complete master of Europe, had gripped the British nation. Following a false alarm that the French had landed, Jim Horscroft, the doctors son, youth of fifteen, quarrels with his father over joining the army, and from that incident lifelong friendship begins between the boys. They go to school together at Ber- wick. where, Jim Is cock boy from the first. After two years Jim goes to Edinburgh to study medicine. Jack stays five years more at Ber- wick. becoming cock boy in his turn. When Jack is eighteen his cousin Edie comes to live at West Inch and Jack falls in love at first sight with his attractive, romantic, selfish and autocratic cousin of seventeen. They watch from the cliffs the victory of an English merchantmen over two French pri- vateers. Reproached by Edie for staying at home, Jack starts to en- list Edfe tells him to stay. Jack promises to stay and marry her. She acquiesces. Jim comes home. Jack sees Jim kissing Edie. Jack and Jim compare notes and force Edie to choose between them. She chooses Jim. Jack gives up Edie to Jim. The downfall of Napoleon is celebrated. A half-dead ship wrecked foreigner drifts ashore at West Inch. He says he is Bonaven- ture de Lapp, soldier of fortune. He goes to live with the Ca1ders.
 A man of mystery, and evidently of high position, he wins all hearts.

Te,IIno Time by Heart Throbs.

The average mans idea of minute may be anywhere between 15 seconds and POO. But we all have a reliable clock in our bodies. The secret is sim ply to count your pulse-beats. Most people know how often their pulses beat in minute, and 1t is, of course. easy to find out. The average rate is 72 minute for man, and rather more for woman. A healthy person. however. may have pulse-rate of anywhere between 60 and S4 a min- ute. So your own rate may easily be much faster or slower than the av- craze. The secret that the sense of time was due to heart throbs was only guessed when psychologists studying the problem discovered that people with unsound hearts are as 8 rule abnormally weak in estimating the passage of time.

BRAVE BUT MODEST SCOUT.

Star Scout Harold .Strohmeyer Of Troop No. 3. Kansas City, has been cited for bravery by the city council for his courageous fight with four ban dits who recently attempted to hold up the bank where Strehmeyer works. His deed received considerable public ity at the time of the attempted rob bery, but the fact that he was boy scout did not come out until later, when, through efforts of members Of the local scout council, the city coun- cil passed resolution commending him for his bravery and authorizing the mayor to present him with gold medal.

never felt quite the same to our lodger after that little business at the peel-tower. It was always in my mind that he was holding secret from me; indeed, that he was. all a secret together. seing that he always hung a veil over his past.
 And when by chance that veil was for an instant whisked away we al- ways caught just glimpse of some thing bloody and violent and dreadful upon the other side. The very look of his body was terrible. I bathed with him once in the summer, and I saw then that he was haggled with wounds all over. Besides seven or eight slashes

I was ready to look after her home at any time and that she wasn't an idle Mrs. Canary.
 Ada and Louise kept the cages clean and gave the canaries fresh water and fresh seed each morning and each morning they had their baths and they had a piece of refreshing lettuce afterwards and their pieces of cutie fish were put back into each cage.
 "Now Mrs. Canary used to talk to her children-they were in two big cages which were joined together, two enormous cages, for Ada and Louise thought it was very cruel and not at all fair to put canaries in little cages. and they didn't get their canaries un- til they could afford to get nice cages for them too.
 Tt would be mean Louise had said, to get the canaries because we had the money to get them and then got little cages. We'll wait until we 1 can give our canaries nice cages" And they did that, for Ada too agreed. And so did the mother and daddy of Louise and Ada.
 'sWhen Ada and Louise and her mother and daddy went away in the summer they took the birds along toe l for they didn't think their birds would be happy boarding, and they kept them | in a lovely big airy room where there was always screen door shut tight so nothing in the way of cat could possibly wander in. And there was 6 special little piazza where they used to sit on the perches in their cages and they would sing and sing and breathe in the beautiful out-of-door air.

 ".A poor little canary bird could never count to such an enormously high figure.
 ".And a canary bird can't go to school for there are no schools for canary birds, and after all it is just as well.
 But as say couldn't count Adas smiles for they were far too many TOT canary bird to count.
 "'And then Louisel She has just the incest smile in the world. It is different from Ada's smile-they're both wonderful. Adds so jolly and gay, so lovable and so happy, so appealing and so adorable and Louise's smile so sweet and sincere, so genuine and so real that one just wants to smile one self that there are such people in the world.
