CHAPTER XIV.
A Letter From Morris.

The weather continued mild. and
Hilary's financial prospects continued
to improve. There was every likeli-
hood DOW of being able TO carry on
through the winter Brousseau had
showed no signs of further interfer-
ence with his men, and there was even
the possibility of getting out another
small load.
Hilary had sent Nanette home TO ST.
Joseph. She had promised TO write to
him, but, as he had expected. he had
not heard from her. Baptiste had
thrown up his position with Dupont
and gone into the Ste. Marie limits to
trap. Marie Dupont avoided Hilary !;
he had not seen her since the day of
their adventure.
AS for Dupont, whatever he knew,
he showed no signs. And things seemed
airy was sure that a denOuement was
to follow He could only wait pa
tiently for that No action could come
from him. He could not violate his
pledge to Marie in order to secure him.
self with Madeleine.
Then came the news which stunned
Hilary out of his mental apathy. Mad
eleine was to marry Brousseau. 1t
was to be in three weeks-at Christ
mas. and the banns had been read in
church that Sunday morning for the
first time.

said Hilary.

QUAINT DWELLER ON PRAIRIE
Small Doc That Has Become Pest
Has Many Traits That Are Odd
and interesting.

The prairie dog Is curious and en-
terraining little fellow. His color is a
light reddish gray, the under side of
the neck and belly being lighter than
the other parts. The legs are short
and the breast and shoulders wide.
The ears, too, are short. as II they
had been cropped. and the jaw is fur
nished with pouch TO contain feed.
but this pouch is not SO large as thar
of the common squirrel The two
inner toes of the prairie dogs forefeet
are long, sharp and we'll adapted TO
digging.
From the tip of his nose to the root
of his shaggy little tail the prairie dog
measures about one foot, but his tail
itself measures nearly four inches.
While clumsy of form, the prairie dog
is. nevertheless. most active and digs
with great rapidity. Colonies OF these
creatures live in the ground. generally
six or eight, and their holes are some
times quite deep
When at rest they all sit upright on
their launches. seemingly with great
confidence barking with a fretful ana
harmless intrepidity at every intrucer
that may approach The noise they
make resembles that of pet dog and
is both shrill and sharp When
alarmed they turn hack somersaulfs',
and In an instant disappear into their
holes. When they have mustered suf-
ficient courage they raise the tops OF
their heads just above the ground sur
rounding their burrows and curiousiy
peer out to see what is doing.
Black footed ferrets. rattlesnakes,
