mpster's face. And the fingers of one
outstretched hand quivered and point
ed toward the office.
Wilton raised Jules gently in his
arms and carried him within, and laid
him on the floor. The Indian was al
most at his last gasp, and he seemed
struggling to express something before
he died.
The fiuttering fingers pointed up
ward. All that was left of life within
the broken body seemed to be concen-
trated in them. Wilton watched them.
The fingers squlrmed and twisted.
It seemed to Wilton that there was
something in the room that Jules
wanted. They were pointing now
toward the safe. Wilton raised the
dying man in his arms and supported
the shoulders against his knees, so
that Jules might see.
Jules pointed straight at the safe,
looked up, and nodded. Wilton nodded.
Jules seemed to lose interest then, but
the fingers still twisted, and now they
pointed toward the wall behind. Will
ton shifted his position, and raised the
shade of the lamp, TO illuminate the
other half of the room.
The fingers wandered over the
woodwork, and stopped upon the car
feature of Lee Chambers that Jules
had drawn. Jules Halfhead smiled
up into Wiltons face and nodded
Wilton nodded. Then Jules died.

remembering that the deaf-mute could

toward the little wooden outbuilding
which Jules had constructed for his
abode. But the Muskegon was not

He went back through the kitchen.
In the middle of the room he saw
something dimly outlined on the floor.
He struck match and found Jules In

had been almost battered to pieces

CHAPTER xl.
THE CONFEDERATION,


"rm going back to work for you.
Mr.. Phayre." Wilton had said when he
left the office. And he had meant 1t.
Without any further hope Of keeping
the line for Kitty, he resolved for the
works sake, that the day when the
control passed into Bowyer's hands
should see the grade across Big Mus
keg.
He found the camp in much the
same condition as when he had left IT..
Andersen reported that the men were
still getting liquor, and were Stacking.
Wilton, whose mind had no room for
rival propositions at the same time,
dismissed the subject. He went
straight to bed. But he was aroused
by Andersen little after midnight.
"There's a big blaze couple of
miles north of u.s." said the foreman.
"Sprung up like lightning. And a
gales sweeping UP the swamp. The
men won't turn out to backfire. They
say It's Saturday highland most OF
them are drunk"
Wilton put on his clothes quickly
placed Jules in charge of the shack
and hurried to the bunkhouses. The
workmen obeyed his summons with
slow sullenness. They were stupid
with drink. Some jcered; some refused
to turn out at all.
But some OF the engineers and fore
men were already hurrying to the

CHAPTER XII
Kidnapped!

Since Bowyer's last visit to the
store Molly had been making plans,
but, when these were made, she did
not dare to place them before the
factor.
She knew that they could not long
remain at the portage. There was his
increasing infirmity; there was Tom
Bowyer's enmity-his hold over her
father, which was bringing him into
his grave.
Yet she feared one of the factors

her suggestion that they should go to
Winnipeg. On the other hand, gradu-
ally she began to believe that McDon-
aid was forming plans of his own. II
that were so, In due time, and in his
own way, he would talk to her about
| them.
Meanwhile she watched her father
anxiously. He still dragged his leg
as he walked. and the fear that was
always upon him now had made him
an old man within the past year. The
girls love for him, which her humilia-
ton at Bowers hands had never en-
tirely killed, burned up again after she
had broken with Wilton.
But she wondered constantly what
was the power that Bowyer had over
her father. Had Mcdonald given her
any encouragement she. would have
spoken TO him, and begged for an un
derstanding that might remove the
cloud which hung over them both. But
the factor was more morose than ever
especially when the winter trading
ended and time hung heavily upor
their hands.
The talk came at last. Mcdonald
was In his chair upstairs, Molly read

seem to hear her; he was looking on

Why Go to Church?

The churches keep alive the sense
of the greatness of humanity. If
did not go to church for anything else,
should go for this. The sermon
might be stupid; then should not
listen to 1t. The prayers might not
suit me; then should pass them by.
The music might CRATE on my ear; l
should try not to hear it. One would
be there greater than the temple
greater than Its liturgy, its prayers,
its priests, its ritual, my brother, man
bowed before my Father, God.-James

People who are all afloat and not

fixity Of purpose, and are not reliable,

DIR. THACKER DELIVERED
TWO ABLE SERMONS

Last night DR.. Thacker from scrip
ture found in 1st. Thessolonians 1:6
to 10 asked the question, What
made these people Christians? A
marvellous change in their hearts,
returning from idols that they could
see and feel to the unseen God was
evidence of that change Of heart,
stated the preacher. Theo1ogians call
it regeneration, God calls it the new
birth: by whatever name called the
motive power in life must be new, it
must be changed for one to be a
real Christian. You may not know
just how the change came, You may
not know just when it came but you
should satisfy yourself that it has
come.
Upon the relation of faith and
works, the evangelist made it very
clear out of the Bible that we work
because we are saved. Salvation is
not of works lest any man should
boast, On the other hand, he en-
phasized the truth that faith which
was without works was dead
This morning taking his text from
John 4: 1914 he spoke on ''The
Water of Life'' Two lessons our
Lord tried to burn into the hearts

and, undoubtedly, what it said will
be thoroughly scriptural for there are
few ministers in our country today
who stick to the Bible and expound
ii more clearly than DR.. Thacker.
These services, with their profound
Bible expositions, inspiring sermons
and the wonderful gospel singing of
Mr.. Roddy are touching and uplifting
our entire city. More than 500 have
signed the decision cards expressing
their purpose to unite with some
church, or, if members already, to
''Live more for Gods glory and the
good of the church." Everybody is
invited to attend and cooperate in
them and all are requested to bring
pencils.
Tomorrow evening Special invita-
tion is extended to all professional
people, lawyers, doctors, teachers,
and others. DR.. Thacker will have a
great message for them.

WHAT ABOUT THE Y. M. G. A.?

WHAT ABOUT The 4. M. u. "A.
The fire which swept through the
Hagen building early Sunday morn
ing entirely destroyed the Y. M. c.
A. property and equipment; in fact,
the Association was completely
stripped of all it's property. The
loss is partly covered by insurance
but the amount will not sufficient to
meet obligations that are outstand-
ing and in addition be sufficient to
begin operations on new scale.
The truth of the matter is that the
Y. M. C. A. is passing thru critical
stage in it's history in our town, and
its future will depend entirely upon
the support that it will gain from
the people here within the next few
days. Personally, we do not feel that
we can afford to allow the institu-
tion to stop. The question simply re-
solves itself into one of interest at
this time. What are we going to do
about it?

WHERE ARE THEY?

What has become of the little boy
who was forced to wear embarrass-
ing petticoats until he was old
enough to go to school? That's what
we'd like to know.
The modern little boy is dressed in
trousers when he is yet mere in
fant, and all the ladies stop his nur-
sic on the street to say chow cute he
is.'' There are cunning little suits
for the male infant, and even before
they can speak plainly, and while
their sex is yet uncertain to the pass
erby they appear in the costume of
sailors or other males.
Not so many decades ago little
boys, the most masculine of them,
were forced to appear in public in
d1 esses at the mature age of five or
six. Even after they had trousers
for Sunday wear they were compell-
ed to play in aprons, these were
found most inconvenient in climbing
trees and pursuing other boyish
sports. Sometimes the proud father
who longed to see his son taking on
the semblance of his own self would
urge the mother to '1et the boy
have pair of pants,' and the apron
clad boy would stand eagerly by
begging please do Mama" But

This was the first meeting since

best step the Association had ever
made. The rooms of the Association
will, if the present plans are carried
out, become the Civic center of Will

ASSOCIATION
MAY MOVE ITS OFFICES

The Wilson Merchants Association
met in regular monthly session yes
terday afternoon with a large num-
Der. of the members in attendance.
The budget for the year was pre-
sented the Association and is accept
ed provided satisfactory arrangements
can be made between the Association
and the Chamber of Commerce for
moving the Offices of the Association
into the quarters in the Fidelity
building now occupied by the Cham
ber of Commerce and formerly occu-
pied by the Commonwealth Club.
The Association will very probably
make this change in quarters in the
near future, moving from their pres
ent location in the Deans building.
The reasons for the move would be
decreased expenditures and the ad-
vantage of more direct cooperation
with the Chamber of Commerce.
The finances of the State Associa-
tion were considered by the meeting
yesterday. Eight men in the local
organization will be called upon to
volunteer to pay 1880 quarterly to
the State Association.

ton, which was carried, that the AS

sentative of clearing house in

interesting talk. Mr.. Schabbe said
he was making tour Of the South

tions. Mr.. Schabbe declared If the

quainted with the credit men it
would be easier for the two to get
