Now Go ON with the story

Away to the north the sky flushed
with crimson glory, then the sun
shot up red and golden. A new day
had broken; and Stane had watched
through the brief night of the North
land summe for a man who hau
not appeared and he was now as
sured, would not come.
He laughed bitterly. and rising
kicked the fire together, threw on
fresh fuel, and after one look to-
wards the still sleeping Post, re-
turned to the tent, wrapped himself
in O blanket, and shortly after fell
asleep.
Three hours later he was awak-
] ened by q clatter of voices and the
: clamor of barking dogs, passing
from sleep to full wakeness like a
healthy child. Kicking the blanket
from him he slipped on his moe
casins and stepped outside where
the source of the clamor at once
manifested itself. A party of In
I dams had just beached their canoes,
and were exchanging greetings with
F another party, evidently that whose
tepees stood on the meadow outside
sFthe fort, for among the women he
saw the Indian girl who had fled

ing him. He watched the scene with
Indifferent eyes for a moment or
two. then securing a anVa bucket
went down to the river for water,
and made his toilet. That done, he
cooked his breakfast, ate it, tided up
his camp and lighting a pipe strolled
into the enclosure of the Post. In
the Square itself stood the plump
gentleman who had landed the a
z before, talking to a cringing half
breed, whilst a couple of ladies with
him watched the aborigines outside
The store with curious eyes. Stane
Glanced further afield. Two men
were busy outside the warehouse, a
second half-breed sprawled on h
bench by the store, but the man for
kWhom he had waited through the
might was not in sight.
With a grimace of disappointment
he moved towards the store. AS he
iid so a little burst of mellow laugh
ser sounded, and turning swiftly he
saw the man whom he was looking
for round the orner of the ware
! house accompanied by q girl, who
laughed heartily Mt some remark of
her companion Stane halted in his
tracks and looked at the pair who
were perhaps a dozen yards or so
AWAY. The monoeied Ainley could
s.not but be aware Of his presence
E vet except that he kept his gaze
4 rcsolutely averted, he gave no sign
IF being so. But the girl looked at
him frankly, and as she did so, HUI
bert Stane looked back, and caught
his breath, as he had reason to.
Her gray eyes met Stances quite
frankly. without falling, then turned
nonchalantly to her companion. and
Stane, watching, saw her speak M
as Ainley flashed n swift glance in
his direction, and then replied with
4 shrug of his shoulders, he easily
OWNED that the girl had asked a
nuestion about himself. They
passed him at half a dozen yards
distance. Ainley with his face set
like a flint, the girl with a scrutin-
ling sidelong glance that set the
blood rioting in Stances heart. He
stood and watched them until they
reached the wharf. saw them step
into a canoe. and then, both of them
padding, they thrust out to the

Bay Company. Stane meets Gerald
Ainley, friend of brighter days, and
4 midnight meeting is agreed upon
between the two men.
One of the governors of the Hud-
son Bay Company arrives at the
post and Ainley, who is an employe,
goes to welcome him. Stane makes
the acquaintance OF a beautiful In

Don't Throw

Stockings

economy" of wearing stock
ings till they are practically
n vast darn, 1 neve throw my dis
carded pairs away. as l ind 1 can
put even the iimsiest pair OF lad
dered artificial BLK to some use.
These very silk stockings. useless
for wear, can be cut up into the
Quickest little knitted" garments for
dolls. There are always a few per-
fectly good portions left, from which
you can make little sporting skirts
and jumpers, and sometimes the toe,
If not darned. is a ready-made cap. IL
you just hem the edge, turn 1t UP, and
add a silk pompom TO the top. Lisls-
thread stockings of bright coiors car
be put to the same use, and white
ones make nice underwear. There
is no need to cut out the garments
deliberately. The simplest magyar
shapes are the best, with narrow
elastic run at the waist, when neces
sary.
Almost any old stockings, thin as
we'll as thick, make splendid floor
cloths, brass polishers. and furniture
cloths II you will go to the small
trouble of opening them out, cutting
off the feet, and joining them togeth-
er with rough stitches In strong
crewel silk or wool. Keep nne
stockings for polishing and thick
ones for foor-cloths. Two or three
quilted together will make a good
kitchen kettle-holder or oven-cloth.

cloths as soon as they get dirty. You

In each square of the material. when
ravoling your edges for fringe save

stitch along all the raw edges by ma

AS the material is only so inches
wide, an extra half-breadth must he
added. which will make a cover
which will hang to the floor on each

couch against the wall a single

The Quaint Old-FashiOned Sampler Has Come Back

q PLENDID-the day OF samplers
is again with us. Old ladies
are making them for the sheer
JOY OF repeating childhood work; the
present generation is working upon
the quaint things for the decorative
effect they will give a Colonial room,
and mothers T taking great pride
and pleasure in instructing small folk
so that they may keep the sampler
and in turn shows 1t to their children
and hand 1t down to their children's
children. 1t is a good thing for a
child to be taught all kinds of sew
ing. True. the rmost decorative
samplers are usually fashioned OF
cross-stitch, but several kinds OF
stitches car really be introduced and
look fetching.
In the very center of a sampler
there might be n gay little flower in
solid stitch. l would suggest that a
medium-sizod mesh cream scrim
should be used for the sampler, and
that the sampler entire should be OF
a good size for framing, say IL by II
inches. The frame should DO a half
inch Colonial mahogany molding.
Woods will be much more effective
than silk or cotton for the embroid-
cry, although either OF the latter can
be used very nicely.
Letters and Numbers.
OF course, even the sampler made
by moderus must have the alphabet
upon it. and a further requisite are
numbers up TO 10. Then. there is the
date upon which the sampler is be-
gun and the date when fnished-I

on DOWN AND NOT QUIZ

n YER lie fiat on your back and
think it over2 1t is good for
you, whether you lie under
your automobile or out on a grassy
hilltop under the skies.
1t gets the blood out OF your head;
1t distributes the lymph moro even
ly; it gives you enlarged vision: It
takes the conceit out of you, especial
ly IL it be under the automobile re-
ferred to. And II something happens
10 put you fiat on your back-ohl
the good it does you! 1t teaches you
what your weaknesses are; develop
just where the crick in your anatomy
is located; teaches you to be humble.
And you jump up ready to make a
new start and a better one than ever
before.
Down! But not out! That's the
position I am talking about. You have
been going along pretty we'll up
right on your feet. Something floors
you. Pride goeth down with you,
as saith the Scripture. You are fat
on your back and taking the count.
In that brief time you have leisure,
untold. for thinking over when, how
and where you received the punch
that put you to the mat. You can,
recumbently, size up the individual
whose feet you perceive to be finally
on a level with his head. What n
chance to look the thing that doored
you fair in the face. II it be extray-
agance, you see its foolish features.
II it be dissipation, you feel its hot
breath, disgustingly. If It be lust,
you hear its ribald laughter. If it be
negligence. you see its slothful habit.
II it be sin, you turn away from its
loathsome face. Never before did
you see Just what you were fighting.
Now, at last, you see it as it really
is. Help me up! Give me a hand. l
know the. chap that gave me the
punch. He is weaker than l am. I
know, now, where to strike him and
strike to win. I'm none the worse
for having been fiat on my back, but
rather am I better-having been far
from perfect. hitherto.
So! Get up! Go to it! You are
not licked. Fact is you are a lot
stronger than before you went TO
earth. Nobody a whip you, except
yourself. The world is full of folks
who would help you, if you needed it,
but you don't II you were any man
before you went down, you arc n
better man now. Here is your mot
TO: Look up. not down; look for
ward, not back; lend a hand" When
you are standing up again with the
dawn of the new day in your face,
PASS on the word.
And perhaps. in the newer life YOU
will like to go out on the hills and lie
fiat on your back just for fun, and
for the sake of the analogies. You
will see a lot-birds in the tree.
clouds in the skies, sun in the heay-
ems, hope in the future. And all you
will ask for is someone to brush off
your back with the promise to your
soul that henceforth it shall ever be
