in the surroundings in which he
lived
He was utterly unkempt and
Islovenly. His coarse beard covered
his lips, his matted hair was dull
with dirt, his skin was scarcely less
dark than that of the Indians them
selves. The nails on his hands were
foul; the floor of the house was clut-
tered with rubbish and filth.
Yet leering through his degeneracy,
his identity could not be mistaken.
Here was the man Virginia had
pierced the North to seek

answered.
Sure, 1 ask you again-what you

You came up here to trap my terri

Lounsbury remembered his stanch
allies-Pete and Joe. "And what if
I did,"
"You knew I trapped here. You
brought up Joe Robinson and a breed
with you. You meant to clean up
this winter-all the furs in the coun-

harold's face drew in scowl.

Virginia. he cried. "My God
what do you know about herr"
All at once he looked, with an
annoyance and anxiety that at first
Bill could not understand, toward the
door of the cabin.
An Indian squaw-for all her filth
and untidiness a fair representative
of her breed-pushed through the
door and came stolidly inside.
Bills face was stern as the gray
cliffs of the Selkirks when he turned
again to Harold. SIS that your wo-

E DITTO RIAL.
LET'S FIND OUT.

TIE Times-Recorder publishes on
the front page of this edition a
communication from Major James A.
Fort to the mayor and city council
which should arouse the active inter
est of every citizen. In it Major Fort
calls attention to the fact that the
fire insurance rates in Americas are
much higher for the same protection
than in Atlanta, and pertinently asks
the reason why, suggesting that the
city administration take STEPS to find
out.
Major Fort is obviously correct in
his conclusions: Either the patrons
OF the fire insurance companies here
are being gouged by unjustified rates,
or the city is not affording a class of
protection justifyng equal rates with
other cities.
The issue is important, and there is
no getting away from the conclusion
that one or the other of these con.
ditions exists. If Americas is giving
Itself adequate fire protection-and
we believe it is--it should be on an
equal footing as regards rates with
other communities, regardless of size.
If it is not, steps should be taken to
remedy the defect or inadeguacy. The
difference gainst Americus now
amounts to thousands of dollars an
nually-either an unjust diserimina
ton or a silent submission to hold
up.
There appears to be remedy
enough. Let us find out the facts ant
then, if the falut is ours, let's cor
rect it and enjoy the benefits; il the
fault is with the rate makers, let us
hale them before the state comptroll-
en-, who has authority over the insur-
ance concerns doing business in the
state.

SQUIRRELS SAVED THE BARN
Sot-Weather Story That May or May Not Be True, but Is at Least
 DiVerting.

The protracted period of heat that covered the farming section of the Middle West in common with most of the whole country produced the usual unverified tales of phe- nOmena, such as popcorn popping on the stalk and potatoes being dug from the hot earth properly baked and ready to serve.
 But from the farm of Fairchild Littlejohn, in Van Buren county, comes the strangest story of all, which really has no relation to the hot weather except that spontane- ous combustion caused the fire in the Littlejohn barn.
 The day was sultry, with not enough breeze to move the wind mill, so the farm water tank was empty. MT. Littlejohn says that two pet squirrels belonging to his daughter scampered up the frame work of the pump and raced around the blades of the wheel just as OF the wheel in the cage in which they sometimes are kept, putting the pump into operation, thus filling the tank and providing enough water to put out the fire.
 Afterward the squirrels had to be carried down to the ground. Their feet were so blistered by the sun- heated metal that they could not stand up.-New York Sun.

RURAL SARCASM.

ROOF OF INGENIOUS DESIGN
Wealthy Parisian Has Pneumatic Cover for Theater, Which Can
 Be Removed and Replaced.

In the heart of a fashionable quarter of Paris, surrounded by six story masterpieces of architectural art, stands a merchant princes pa latial home, half hidden in the yer dure of its wooded garden that stretches luxuriously before it, with the flower beds among the trees and an ample velvety lawn. Every night, during the summer, this little oasis of verdure is transformed into a luxurious theater, with raised stage and comfortably upholstered arm chairs arrayed in rows in the man. ner of an auditorium, all shrouded and sheltered beneath a transitory floating roof. This-the roof which disappears with the dawn of day, and shrinks to such propor- tions that it can be disposed of in small truck, is the outstanding fea- ture of the interesting arrangement that transforms nightly an open garden into a closed theater. This is made possible by the fact that the roof is pneumatic-is, in fact, only slightly heavier than the at- mosphere. It is composed of a large alright silk envelope so shaped that when inflated 1t forms itself into an arch, like the groined roof of vault, long enough and wide enough to cover both auditorium and stage. It requires very little support and with guys and light cables it is re- tained in place.-Henry s. White, in Popular Mechanics Magazine.
