Year were remarkably free from Sc
rious physical defects, DR.. Roger I.
Lee. professor of hygiene, found in
examinations. Less than l per cent
of the men examined were found to
have neglected teeth, poor eyesight
DIR. Lee attributed the freedom
from physical defects "to the thor
oughness of the physical examina-

Tom Bowyer finds out what I've done
to him"
Wilton gave Chambers a bed In his
shack. The next morning they started
out to sound the muskeg. A little
more than a mile north OF the portage,
where the river dwindled to q mere
trickle between two lakes In summer,
was an uninviting bed Of peat, covered
with rotten slush 1t was one Of the
few spots where Wilton had not
sounded.
You'll get bottom here" said Cham
bers. He swept his arm upward. you
see, I've figured 1t out like this: Those
ridges are limestone. But the founda-
tion's granite. You've noticed that, of
course. The granite was there first.
The limestone was forced up later
through the clefts by subterranean ac-
tion. 1t filled up the holes and hollows
and spread up above the granite till
these bluffs were formed. But the
granite hasn't shifted. Here's where
the granite bed extends across the
muskeg. The mud filled up the cleft
and spread across the foundation. But
the foundations there. Try her out! y
Wilton got bottom after two or three
attempts. AS Chambers had said,
here was the foundation for the perma-
nent way-not the best conceivable,
and one that would require consider
able ballasting, but undenlably the only
route possible.
The next day preparations were be.
gun for cutting the new road from the
camp. The weeks passed swiftly.
With mld-April came the breaking up
Of the Ice. The ground hardened, and
the first team Of horses struggled into
camp, drawing Its freight.
The end of April saw Kitty's house
completed and the furniture installed,
and the first day Of May brought
Kitty.
She had t~elephOned Wilton to expect
her, and she came in a rig, with a cart
load OF trunks and packages behind.
Within an hour she was ~enscOnced
snugly In the new cottage, with a camp
cook detailed to look after her needs.
In her widows black she looked pref
tier than ever, and absurdly young
even to be married.
Wilton had supper with her, and all
the while they sat together at the ia
BILE his heart was almost too full for
speech. He was dreaming Of the future
with Molly, a future in which Kitty
shared. He pictured her happily mar
ried-for Joe would have wished that,
and Wilton's loyalty to the dead man
had nothing mawkish or sentimental in
1t.
Kitty tapped him on the arm, and he
looked up to see her face In a charm
ing smile, and mlrth dancing In her
blue eyes.
