Of a gravelly beach. A few
strokes more, and men who were
bare to the knees jumped out into
the shallow water and began
tugging at the tow rope with their
hands. David looked at his watch.
It was 10 o'clock.
Never in his life had time
passed so swiftly as that morn
ing on the forward deck Of the
barge. And how they were tying
up, after a drop Of six or eight
miles down the river. and he
wondered how swiftly st. Pierre
was overtaking them with his
raft.
He was filled with the desire
to feel the soft crush Of the earth
under his feet again, and not
waiting for the long plank that
Bateese was already swinging
from the scow to the shore, he
made d leap that put him on the
sandy beach. st. Pierre's wife

a coward would have let live the
thoughts that burned In his brain.
She was st. Pierre's wife-and he
was anxious now for the qiuck
Homecoming of the chief of the
Boulains. After that everything
would happen quickly. He thanked
God that the inspiration Of the
wager had come to him. After
the fight, after he had won, then
once more would he be the old
Dave Carrigan, holding the trump
hand in thrilling game.
Loud voices from the York
boats and answering cries from
Bateese in the stern drew him
to the open deck. The bateau
was close to shore, and the half
breed was working the long stern
sweep as IL the power Of steam
engine was in his mighty arms.

their towline and were pulling at
right angles within a few yards

mind. He was more than fool.
He envied st. Pierre, and ne
coveted that which st. Pierre
possessed. And yet, before he
would take what did not belong
OF him, he knew he would put
a pistol to his head and blow
his life out. He was confident
of himself there.
Out of the Mire
Yet he had fallen, and out Of
the mire into which he had
sunk he knew also that he must
drag himself, and quickly, or be
everlastingly lowered in his own
esteem. He stripped himself
naked and did not lie to that
other and greater thing Of life
that was in him.
He was not only a fool, but a
coward. Only a coward would
have touched the hair of ST.

happen IL he forgot his promise
to Marie-Anne Boulain.
Never, in single outfit, had
he seen such splendid men.
They were not a mongrel assert
ment of the lower country. Slim,
tall, clean-cut, sinewy-they were
stock of the old voyageurs Of a
hundred years ago, and all of
them were young. The older
men had gone to st. Pierre. The
reason for this dawned upon
Carigan. Not one Of these

through the forest; not one that
could not outrun him and cut him
off, though he had hours the

Passing beyond them, he paused
and looked back at the bateau.
On the forward deck stood Maris.
Anne, and she. too, was looking

quiet and troubled with anxiety.
She did not smile when he lifted
his hat to her, but gave only q
little nod. Then he turned and
buried himself in the green bal

MIR. HOBSON'S
CHOICE

HOBSON'S choice means that
"A question is settled and
there Is no alternative. The first
analogy of the term came from
the seventeenth century. A man
named Tobias Hobson kept a liv-
cry stable at Cambridge. When
his horses were to go out. he kept
a strict account of the rotation in
which they had been used, and 1t
was his ironclad custom to adhere
unswervingly to this rule.
In the event of a debate over
the question Of which horse should

Ignorance begets poverty, and poverty
crime. Of course that statement may
start an argument, yet after very close
observation | find it to be fact, gener-
ally speaking. We remember that when
Hosea was looking over the status of
his people and saw the condition of
them, saw that they were perishing, had
gone into all sorts of deviations, he
looked and lamented: my people are
destroyed for the lack of knowledge"
Ignorance will destroy anybody. The
idea that brought this discussion to my
mind was the old by-word that those of
a lower order of intelligence always say
