The result Of this thought was &C
feast to hover in the near vicinity OF
certain conclusion. That conclusion
was that at least few Of the char
acteristics Of his grandfather had
been passed down to Dan. 1t meant
that possibly, IL time remained, be
would not turn out such a weaklfng,
after all. OF course his courage, his
nerve. had yet to be tested; but the
fact remained that long generations
of frontiersmen ancestors had left this
influence upon him. The Wild was
calling to him, Weakening instincts
long smothered In cities, but sure and
true as ever. It was the beginning
OF regeneration. Voices Of the long
past were speaking to him, and the
FaiIings once more had begun to run
true TO form. Inherited tendencies
were in moment changing this weak,
diseased youth into frontiersman
and wilderness inhabltant such as his
ancestors had been before him.
They were slipping along over the
pine needles. their eyes intent on the
trail ahead. And then Lennox saw q
curious thing. He beheld Dan sud-
denly stop In the trail and turn his
eyes toward a heavy thicket that lay
parhaps ene hundred yafls to their
right. For an instant he looked al
most like a Wild creature himself. His
head was lowered. as II he were lis
tening. His muscles were set and
ready.
Lennox had prided himself that he
had retained all the powers Of his five
senses, and that few men in the noun
tains had keener ears than he. Yet
II was truth that at first he only knew
the silence, and the stir and pulse Of
his own blood. He assumed then that
Dan was watching something that
from his position, twenty feet behind,
he could not see. He tried to probe
the thiekets with his eyes.
Then Dan whispered Ever so soft
sound, but yet distinct In the 81.

at her with amused tolerance. And
Dan--he didn't know IN JUST what way
he ala look at her. And he-dldnt have
time to decide. In less than fifteen

she sprang up from her chair and

Fle laughed weakly and begged their
pardon; and the two men were really
very gentle. They told him 1t was
their own fault for permitting him to

candle In the big, cold bedroom.
Dan saw the door close behind him,

Dan could see only snowbird's out
line at first, just her shadow against
the moonlit hillside. His glasses were
none too good at long range. And
possibly. when she came within range,
the first thing that he noticed about
her was her stride. The girls he
knew didn't walk IN quite that free.

she did not seem ungracefuI. Dan had

The girl who stood in the moonlight
had health. She was simply vibrant

II brought curves TO her body. and

 Edward Jacobsen's two horse dump cart, with yellow wheels and pale green body, came down Main street on last Thursday afternoon bearing a heavy load of gravel and piloted by Joseph Gaulin. Just in front of the Converse building the yellow wheels became entangled in the trolley tracks and in trying to reach the right hand side of the street, the big hind wheel collapsed every spoke left the hub and with considerable difficulty the horses managed to drag the load into the gutter. Another wagon was soon brought from the barn and the load transferred. About four o'clock three wheeled wagon wended it's way through Main street behind a pair of laboring horses and ended its journey at the wagon makers. In few days the green dump cart with the yellow wheels will be seen al out town.

"The trouble in the Williamson

Lure Goldfish

CUMBERLAND, Nd, June rs.
Recently 'eUneeda" and "Qui-
cida," two large fantail Japan
ese goldfish, disappeared from
the fountain in City Hall Plaza.
Janitor George Douglass, GUS
todian of the fish, had his suspi-
cions. The fish were tame and
would come to the top OF the
water when Douglass whistled
1t was meal time.
At 8 o'clock at night the jani-
tor saw black cat sinking to-
ward the fountain and Douglass
took position nearby with
several firemen from Central
Fire Station and watched.
The black cat had breadcrumbs
in his paw which he dropped
in the water, and, bending low
over the coping of the fountain,
soon was making quick sweeps
with one paw at the elusive fish
as they came to the top to eat.
The fishing cat was so interested
he failed TO see Douglass come
from behind and he was given a
slap that sent him away to his
alley lair.

An unusual proceeding was started
In the House yesterday when Represen-
tative Wynne +. clouse, Republican,
OF Tennessse. introduced resolution
directing. the Clerk OF the House to
make public the vote in committee
record OF Cordell Hull. a former Dem
ocratic Congressman from Tennessee.
on soldier bonus Legislation.
Clouse defeated Hull in November

tion OF how Hull stood on the soldier
bonus entered largely. Hull has now
sued Clouse for damages, alleging
that Clouse misrepresented his legis-
lative record on the soldier bonus.
The committee records are secret,
but IL Clouse's resolution is adopted
they will be opened up.
