E1NDlAN SUMMER" NOT A MYTH
Pioneer Settlers Heard tie Expression
With a Thrill of Apprehension
Easy to Understand.

Indian summer" owes its name not
10 any poetic fancy, but TO the pain
full experiences of early frontier set
Element. Daring the Iong-c0ntInued
Indian wars the settlers enjoyed no
peace except during the winter, when,
owing to the severity Of the weather,
the Indians were unable to make any
raids. The coming of winter was
therefore hailed with delight by the
backwOodsmen, who until then had
been cooped up in their little uncom-
Portable forts. They removed to their
cabins on the farms with the exhll-
aration Of prisoners released from con-
fnement. Sometimes, however, It hap
pened that, after the apparent begin
ming of winter, the weather became
warm again. This was the Indian
summer" because II afforded the In
dams another opportunity Of visiting
the settlements with their destructive
warfare. In his Notes on the Set
Element and Indian Wars of the West
ern Parts Of Virginia and H'ennsyl-
vania." published in 1924, the Rev. J.
Doddridge remarks that In his own
day backwoodsman seldom heard
the expression INDIAN summer" with
out feeling a chill Of horror. because
It brought to his mind the painful rec
objection OF Its original sense.

CHAPTER TX.
The Face in the Window.

By ten o clock heavy rain and
wind had settled over the Storm
Country with such force that the
waves were rolling southwark like
ivory-crested mountains. Once fin a
while a heavy thud of thunder rever-
berated over the lake from the north,
losing its roar back of the Cornell
buildings on the university campus.
Devon's canal boat was following
the little tug which was hugging the
western shore nOrthward. Tonnibel.
in the little room back of the cabin,
was searching through the darkness
from the small window. But the only
thing she could see was the dark bank
along which they crept and which
once in a while was lit up by vivid
streak of lightning.
Suddenly the engine stopped. and az
II she imagined Gussle could help her
she gathered her into her arms.
In a vivid streak of lightning she
saw they were anchored close to
Crowbar point, which protected them
somewhat from the wind. She
crouched low when the little door
opened and Uriah called her name.
Come out here, Tonnibel," he com
manded roughly, and Tony. with Gus
sic in her arms. crept into the cabin.
where Reggie was seated on a bunk,
looking pale and sullen.
"Set down on the floor, brat" com
manded Uriah, and Tonnibel dropped
down. Now listen to me, Tony"
went on Devon. "Ever since you've
been knee high to a grasshopper you

''Dead.' cried Tonnibel. "Pop,

piled Uriah. with an insolent laugh,
hut one things sure-Ede Amt here

goin' TO get married as soon as we
get TO Auburn. Seer
The girls eyes remained centered
on his face horror deep seated in
their gray depths.
Here's Reggie wantin' to marry
you" continued Devon. with a wide
wave at the limp young man. "And

the awful expression on her face didn't
change nor did she drop her eyes.
Devon took a quick step toward her.
with an appraised arm, and as he had
beaten his wife So he laid the blows
about the girls head and shoulders.
The pig fell from Tony's arms in her
desperate efforts TO protect herself
"Oh, daddy, don't. don't, any more ~
she screamed.
Reggie Brown was watching the
brutal scene duly as If it interested
him but little. AT the girls fearful
plea Devon stepped back and glared
at her.
"Will you do what bid you, missT'
he demanded hoarsely. I'D as soon
kill you as take wink"
Tonnibel made no answer save TO
weep more wildly, aad, because she
did not make ready reply, Uriah
struck her again. Then suddenly
Reginald stood up.
Don't hit 'er any more, Dev," he
drGwled. "Shut 'er up a while and
keep 'er without grub, and she'll come
to time. Give 'er a night to think it
ever. God. but you've walloped her
black and blue as it's"
In answer TO this Devon picked
Tony up and threw her into the back
cabin. Then he kicked Gussie over
the threshold, slammed the door and
locked it.
Philip MacCauley had padded away
from the Dirty Mary with a dull,
sick fear for the girl he had had to
leave behind. To fight single-handed a
drunken man with gun was fool
hardy and would do little Tony no
good
When he reached the corner of the
lake he ran hts craft ashore and sat
for a long time thinking. Suddenly
he saw through the dusk that the ca

Movie Tricks.

In some photOplay fire scenes the
buildings are actually burned down,
and sometimes small models are
burned. Usually convincing illusion
is created by placing chemical prepa.
ratiOns, known as "smoke pots" in
concealed places in the building. Then
by staining the film red the illusion is
almost perfect.
Movies make it easy for bricks to
form themselves into walls. Here is
how it is done: First brick wall is
photographed. A man hidden behind
the wall pulls down brick at time
and throws it into pile in front of
the wall. Each time he does it 1t is
photographed. The film is reversed
when it is shown. so that the last pic
ture appears first-Brooklyn Eagle.

moving slowly northward in the teeth
of the rising wind. With an ejacula-
ticn he showed off and was out In the
boiling surf. Wherever that boat went
he decided to 90. too.
AS he padded carefully along. he
could see the shadows sof two men in
the glimmer of the little light in the
small pilot house. Then Reggie was
there with Devon, but where was
Tony?
One small window in the canal boat
gave forth a dim light He felt within
him that she was there where that
light was. alone and suffering. What
had she thought Of his allowing him
self to be forced away from her when
she needed him most? His teeth came
together sharply He was no coward,
this Philip MacCauley, this captain of
the Salvation army.
Suddenly he caught sight of a pass
ing shadow in the cabin, and his heart
leapt up within him. Twas the shad-
ow of n girl walking up and down.
Grimly his teeth set into his under Hip
and with one deep thrust Of the pad
die into the wafer he sent the canoe
headlong toward the canal boat Then
II was that girls face came 10 the
window.
The canoe almost crashed against
the side OF the bigger boat as IT came
sldewlse of It. and Philip caught at 1t
desperately. Slowly lifting himself
Nd he thrust his face close to Tony's.
She was staring at him bIankly as II
his ghost had suddenly risen out of
the stOrm-tossed lake.
Don't do that, darling" he whis-
pered as she drew back in terror. I'm
going TO take you away"
Then she realized who II was, and
reached out and clutched at him,
breathlessly.
"Climb through" undertoned Philip.
"Quick. climb through. and when / tell
you to drop, do It, but not before"
BY holding his body rigidly erect, he
managed to keep the canoe upright.
Then he waited, but not for long. Al
most Immediately a girls bare arm
shot through the window. Something
wriggled in her clutching fingers.
Philip almost lost his bold on the boat
as Gussie came against his face. He
snatched the pig and dropped II ct his
feet. Then a pair Of bare legs fol-
lowed and Tony's body began to wrig-
gle through the narrow aperture.

 LATE ELECTION

 Ahead of 1918 Vote.

With probably between 20 to 3o precincts to be heard from, figures issued today by the Territorial Can wasting Board show that excluding ' the missing votes, total of 1o,o9o votes were cast in the November election in Alaska. Out of that rumber a total of 9.633 votes were ccst in the Delegate contest and 9,290 in the Attorney General race. The vote cast last year for Delegate was 69l larger than that cast in 1918 when 8,941 votes were can vaSsed by the Board.
 The First Division was 1,1SS vision, the next largest, 4,187 being cast in the First Division as com pared to 2,999 in the Third. The total vote by division was, First Division, 4187; Second, 690; Third, 2999; Fourth. 2,220. However, all the votes cast in this Division have been counted while a number of precincts are still to be heard from in the others, which will cut down the lead but it is certain will not change the order of the standing.
 Board Adiourns
 After working the entire day at , o'clock "Wednesday afternoon, the Canvassing Board had canvassed all of the returns received and adjourn ed at that time subject to the call of it's Chairman, Gov. Thomas Riggs. The Board will not meet again until more returns are received, said Gov. Riggs this morning.
 In only one instance was there any irregularities of any material importance discovered. In closing up Division, the election judges failed to sign the certificate, which failure resulted in the votes there being thrown out by the Canvassing Board Unless the records are cer- tified to or identified by the sigma lures of the election officers they gre held not to be returns at all.
 In the Second Division, although there were no candidates for Road Commissioner $ on the ballot, the of fifteen persons were writ ten in by the voters. Those elected were J. A. Wilson, receiving 34S votes and J. J. Keenan, 131.
