st. Onge listened to Steele's story
in amazement.
''Ile sent his men to XIII you--keep
you from getting out of the countryT'
'Ee rightly saw that after what
had happened he couldn't afford to
have us leave the bush. You see, not
withstanding my two bags Of Indian
stuff, he suspected me Of spying on
his place-and probably chose the
Frying Pan as a safe means Of get
ting rid Of us.
"He wouldn't anticipate our running
them voluntarily, but evidently had
ordered his Indians to capture and
throw us in Then, if our bodies or
canoe were ever found, it would ap-
pear like straight case of drown
ing. But David's shot stampeded the
survivor into firing at US"
"And you went through that white
water they say has never been rum
Eyes, somehow we got through,
with a foot Of water in her and a few
leaks where we scraped some sharp
ones"
They had left the supper table and
were in the living room, and as Steele
finished he realized that Denise, who
sat with eyes on the rug at her feet,
had been listening Was it the old
depression, he wondered, Or
"And without shells for your guns,
you travelled clear to the NepgOn on
short rationS?' broke in St Onge.
"WOrse than that We got but few

and mystified by the mool or The fac
tors daughter.
Once he knew beyond all pcradVen-
ture that this harassed girl cared for
him bound though she was, once she
unreservedly placed her future in his
hands and rent the veil Of her former
reticence-her strange aloofneSs, then
the fight for the fortunes Of Wailing
River would be a battle of joy; and
at last, when they met, it seemed that
his dream had come true that he had
won. But her air of increduity, the
irony of her comment on his story Of
that night at Ogoke, sent him to his
bed mortified, troubled, stung with
the injustice of her attitude. Was 1t
jealousy? He had held Denise st.
descent Had she been merely face
tious, or had she, without benefit of
the doubt, drawn a sinister inference
from the coming to the shack of Rose,
and their surprise ty Lattamme? But
he had frankly told the full details,
he argued. That, of itself, was proof
enough Of the singlemindedness of his
actions at Ogoke. 1t seemed so for
eign to his conception Of the charac-
ter Of Denise st. Onge, that, when his
tired body finally drew him into the
oblivion of sleep, he had attributed
her manner and her silence to the
strain of overtaxed nerves.

Laflamme came to the shack and Of
fered to tell all she knew about La
famme's activities if l would take her
that night to the railroad" Steele
boldly answered, ignoring the infer
ences which might be drawn from the
statement.
"And you refused, monsieur, to aid
a beautiful woman in distress? All,
that was not gallant" Although the
smile was facetiOus the eyes Of Den
se st. Onge were grave. Steele felt
that he had been put on the defensive.

"Was it not clear to you what he

vas not in the house, he went to the
lhack Of the gallant American. to find
it guarded by his faithful Indian!
The girl smiled disconcertingly. Steel,
was puzzled at her mood.
'Denise" protested her father
"Will you permit Monsieur Steele to
tell his story? You are not fair !"
Could it be possible that she did
not believe him, Steele asked himself
But the seeming compOSure of
Denise ST. Onge disarmed him and lie
went on.
David had choked Latiamme into
Inconsistencies, and of course we
had to leave without our flour We
padded all night, pushed up the Rouge

two Indians who had Travelled over

we were helpless and would come
ashore, they didn't fire on us until
they saw we intended to run the rap

was shot by David, who had found a

to hear that Windigo again. I've also
brought these"
The speaker stripped the lashings
from a canvas-covered bundle, which
David had carried in from the sled
the night previous, to reveal to the
curious eyes Of Michel two massive
engines of torture, their steel jaws
bristling with teeth.
"By gar! Bear trapl" exclaimed
the Iroquois, black eyes glittering
Beauties, aren't they2 God help
the brute they close on"
Then Steele lifted six smaller but
no less wicked-looking devices, de-
signed to snap on and hold in wise
like grip the paw Of the unwary
prowler which stepped in them.
"These are the strongest wolf-traps
made, and 1 doubt If any Windigo
could get out of one. unless he

Michel filed his pipe, III II, and

HOW IS IT IN youR TOWN

DO your own people speak well
of your own town." is a pertinent
question. Col Frank Knox, the
we'll known newspaper publisher and
chairman of the N E. Councils
committee on community organiza-
ton, puts this question to the COM
munities in effective fashion. 1t is
up to the communities to see that 1t
may receive a satisfactory answer.
There may be difference of
opinion respecting the extent to
which any community should at
tempt to compliment itself. In doing
this it should not overlook repairs
or the adage that stitch in time
saves nine, but it will be wise not to
take it's smock off in public simply
for taking then and there a few
stitches.
AS matter of fact 1t sometimes
happens that one becomes so ac-
customed to blessings he finds them
somewhat monotonous. Such an one
surely Is In need of a long vacation
In less favorable environment. How
many of us need such a vacation?

EETTEREp BY PREJUDlCES

Ex-Governor Baxter. speaking at
Lewiston last week, referred to con-
ditions illustrating community jeal-
ousy in Australia and compared with
those existing in this country.
Australia has six separate states
with state governments and a gen.
eral government much like the ar
rangement existing In the United
States, but with a striking differ
ence in the attitude existing among
the States.
This is illustrated by the railroad
situation in that country. where each
State government owns and oper-
ates its railroads and purposely fixes
the grades unlike those adopted by
it's neighbors. Thus there must be
an unloading whenever the state
lines are crossed. This short sighted
policy appears in a light all the
more unfavorable when compared
with that by which Australia is able
successfully to ship its products
$4,000 miles to England and there
compete for a market.
One is reminded by this situation
Of that existing in Europe. where
racial prejudice has been cultivated
for centuries. where customs and
other barriers surround each OF the
little countries and advancement Is
seriously hoppled. Europeans WIFI
vision now perceive great advant-
ages to be had from united states
of Europe, but these obstacles lie II
the path and may not be expected u
be overcome in the immediate
future. Meanwhile interrelations
become more intricate; wires ane
the wireless transcend the barriers
which become more and more bur-
densome. Yet it is not easy to undo
the letters of nurtured prejudices.

FOR BETTER UNDERSTANDING

Lack of comprehension Is serious
handicap, not only on the individual
but on a people. None of us are I'M
aware of the advantages which
clear understanding affords in our
individual affairs. The number OF
those who perceive even greater i'm
portance of such comprehension in
wider relations increases.
Such will apprehend the mischief
which may arise from an incident
like that reported Of an italian, duly
admitted to this country two years
ago along with his wife. After liv-
ing and working in this country
industriously, he had the mis-
fortune to lose an arm. The law, as
interpreted, says he must be sent
back to Italy because likely to be-
come a public charge if he remains in
this country.
It is not difficult to see the likell-
hood of such an act being misunder-
stood by our foreign neighbors, who
SO would arrive at a very wrong
conclusion respecting us. There al
ready is abroad grave misunder-
standing of the American people
Foreign politics has contributed
materially to such erroneous con-
illusions.
An instance of this is seen in the
impression prevailing among the
French people that their financial
difficulties are due to American ex-
tortion, a sentiment cultivated by
those having a motive to conceal
actual conditions. 1t is said that
many Of those, who had claims on
account Of destruction of their prop
erty by the Germans, sold those
claims, that the purchasers in many
instances increased them and the
increase was allowed. Why not,
were not the Germans to pay? But
collections from Germany have been
slow or impossible and French funds
have been taxed to carry these
. claims. But how many of the French
people know this and how many
blame America for their financial
straits, when as a matter of fact we
have not yet seen the color of their
money in settlement of debt to us?
The most that has been accomplish
ed by the League of Nations is to
acquaint the people with actual con-
ditions. Who is there to acquaint our
foreign neighbors with the actual at
titude of the American people?
