THE BOUND BOY

Three generations ago life on
the banks of the Wabash was the
life Of the frontier-of the back
woods-of the outposts of civili-
cation. Life there was simple
and strenuous. Men were strong
and the primitive emotions
swayed them And this is tale
of the days Of our grandfathers
and Of those conditions.
David Anderson. a native of
this region, knows it as few do.
His "Blue Moon" which told Of
the pearl fishers, was a great
success. THE Red Lock" takes
up a time little later-when the
pearl fishers were giving place to
permanent settlers. 1t is tale OF
the Flatwoods.
Yes; we have no canal con-
struction in this story. The red
lock is lock of hair recurring in
the generations of the Colins-an
Inheritance from a pirate ances-
tor who even in those days was
regarded as an undesirable citi-
zen. And this red lock played
the mischief with any Colin so
adorned
So we have, Ken Colin, who
mysteriously disappeared, RED
lock and all; Texie, his pretty
and loyal sister; Big Jack-bound
boy who loves Texie, and various
red FLOODED pioneer people who
are involved in the results of the
temperance of the red lock.
Nature lovers and woodsmen
will find much here to interest
them. For the author is close to
natures heart and his pages
show his relationship. And Big
Jack is an adept in woodcraft,
with an efficient eye for an en-
emy's trail and the quickness of
the wild animal life Of the Flat
woods.

Of
Superstitions
APRON STRINGS
By II. lRDlNG KIN g.

0TF YOUR apron string becomes
\ loosened your true love is think
ing about YOU is a common supersti-
tion with unmarried young women.
This arises from the idea of the an
clients Of the magical power of knots
to trammel and obstruct human activi-
ties, physical and spiritual. In mat
tiers of love and marriage knots might
Obstruct the relations between bride
and groom and act as obstacles to
the course Of true love.
Professor Frazer says that as lately
as 1718 ''the parliament at Bordeaux
sentenced a person to be burned alive
for having spread desolation through
a whole family by means of knotted
cords; and cites case in Scotland
In 17O5 where two persons were SEN
fenced to death "for stealing certain
charmed knots in order, thereby to
mar the welded happiness of Spalding
OF Ashintilly" These magic knots,
you see, had to be found and united in
order that their baleful effects might
cease and the two persons who stole
and secreted them had thus prevented
the untieing.
Now the knot which holds your
apron strings may be charmed knot,
obstructing the thoughts Of love. If
it comes united of itself your lovers
thoughts flow to you freely.
Far back in early classic days ex-
Rmples of this superstition Of obstruc-
tive knots is found and it prevails to
day among nearly all the savage

CHAPTER i
The Bound Boy.

A girl came out of the back yard of
a sed-roofed cottage at the, upstream
edge Of Buckeye, passed around a
rather tastefully built barn, with it's
thanking cribs and pens, crossed the
fallow pasture lot in corner Of which
1T stood, climbed the fence and picked
her way up the face of the cliffs that
roughly walled the village on three
sides, until she stood at last among
the Jagged and broken pinnacles at
the top of Black rock, lighter speck
against the gray green background Of
the Flatwoods.
Away beyond the bend where the
placid Wabash lost itself among the
hills the sun crawled toward the rim
of the West. Pendant above the dis
tant timber line it's round splendor,
FURNISHED bright by the wonder of
May, turned a lingering glance at the
serene world.
But the girl was not watching the
sunset. The splendor OF the wide
spread landscape at her feet was lost
on her.
Crawling out from. under the sunset,
halving the village and winding away
up the river between cliff and bottom,
ran the River road, the one slim
artery that connected Buckeye with
the great world outside the Flatwoods.
The girls eyes were on the road.
Far up the river-twenty miles of
gravel and gray sand-it led to the
city. On clear days she had some
times made out the hazy whiteness of
its roofs and spires-the gateway Of
another worldzza world that the err
rant fancies Of girlhood peopled with
many a wonder.
Seven years ago to a day she had
stood there and watched the Milford
stage carry her brother away to the
end of that road-through the dim
spireo gateway and out into the great
world beyond. The East-it swallows
up many man of the West. 1t had
swallowed her brother up. 1t never
gave him back.
The eyes, grown pensive, turned
slowly to the outstanding pinnacle of
sandstone, polished smooth by a thou

MARIANA is a happy combination
AvA Of two of the most popular names
in feminine nomenclature, Mary and
Anna. 1t takes its significance from
the former and is generally accepted to
mean bitter" rather than grace.
The history of its origin is purely
religious. The mother of the Blessed
Virgin was called Anna. though from
what tradition is not automatically
known. st. Anne is a patron saint of
Prague where large festival is held
in her honor every year. In 1884, a
decree from Rome made similar feast
obligatory in France, where the saint
was supposed to have made an APP
pearance, and out of this rose the
fashion of combining the names of the
Blessed Virgin and her mother. Thus
Anne Marie or Marianne became one
of the most popular feminine names on
the continent
Mariana received especial vogue and
was sometimes contracted to Mama.
In England Shakespeare is responsible
for much of the popularity of Mariana,
since he twice bestowed the name up
on characters in his plays. Mariana
was the deserted wife Of Angelo in
Measure for Measure and the daugh-
ter of Pericles in 'Pericles, Prince of
Tyre was likewise so called.
Marianas talismanic gem is the
moonstone, the sacred jewel of India,
which is said to bring its wearer the

ever heard"
It is curious and interesting how
some of the greatest names of the
Anglo-Saxon race have lodged, like
river drift, along the byways and wa
terways of what was once the great
American woods.

than the far-fung thread that had
found lodgment here in this out-of-
the-way corner OF the earth-the great
Flatwoods that seventy years ago
stretched for many an unbroken mile
along the north bank of the upper
Wabash.
The man swept a hand toward the
distant end of the road. The girl
glanced at him.
"Ten more days"-there was a
strained firmness in his voice, as If
what he was about to say came hard
to him-"and I'm ridin' out yonder
m'self"
He felt her eyes upon him.
.'Ten more" he went on. '"This is
the tenth of May. When it's the
twentieth, I'll be twenty -and
free. Ten more-I ben countin' 'em.'
A deep seriousness clouded his
face: he stared down at the warped
skeleton of the unfinished farmhouse.
The girl fumbled the bit Of ribbon at
her waist.
"My father dreamed that dream" he
went on. "B'fore it could come true, the
Seminoles bolted their reservation and
he dropped everything and rushed
away to the head of the rangers. You
know how he-fell at Okechobee."
He paused moment; gripped his hat
and went on. Mother never saw a

was so hard and bitter that she dared
not venture a word. And what word
could alter the stern fact that he was
a bound boy-bound out to her own

he went to bed, and it was warm
enough in his house. So he gave a
few grunts and snuggled himself up
for good long sleep.
He slept for a long time It 7as
past the time for the first snow, but
it had not come. And poor Mr.. Bear
awoke and shivered; then he sneezed.
He rolled himself up tighter, but It
was no use; he was cold.
Without opening his eyes he began
to feel for more bedcoverings there
were none. He had not thought about
coverings when he went to sleep.
The wind whistled and shrieked
about his house and through it as well.
Mr.. Bear could feel it blowing his fur
and he was not as fat as he was when
he crept into bed. He would have to
get. up and get more bedding, that was
certain.
Poor Mr.. Bear crept out of his house
and began to hunt It was a desolate
looking place outside, no green leaves
or grass, only dry twigs and bits of
grass tufts and dead leaves.
He worked a long time before he
had enough to make his bed comfort
able and decided that his mother knew
more about what he needed than he
did. "The very first thing do in the
spring" said Mr.. Bear as he pulled
his bedding around him, lis to find

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"sTocK"

BELONGING to the class Of
- words of multiple meanings,
stock is employed in probably
more different ways than any
other word in the English Ian
guagenot excepting post" We
speak of live stocF, stoe in
trade, the village stocks, the
stock of a gun, the stocks in
which ships are built, the stocks
which men formerly wore around
their necks, stocks and bonds,
soup stock and many other diff
ferent applications Of the same
word.
All are derived from, and were
originally, the past participle of
the verb ''to stick" being joined
together by the common idea of
fixedness. Thus the stock of a
gun is that portion to which the
barrel is Affixed the village
stocks were a form of punish
ment which necessitated the
placing of the feet in certain
position; stock in trade is a. fixed
capital and financial stocks are
those in which the money sticks
fast, because those who place it
there receive only the interest
the stocks which men wore
