The Plains of Abraham

II was the testimony of the late
James oliver Curwood that there was
more fact than fiction in this novel;
that the heroine, Marie Antoinette
Tonteur, and her fierce old father lived
and loved as described in the story;
that Catherine Bulain and her valiant
son were flesh and blood of their day;
that Tiaoga, Shtndas, Silve- Heels and
several other OF the more important
cy: that 1.-THE Plains of Abraham" like
his other tale, '"The Black Hunter"
to which 1t is closely related. is large
ly romance of life as 1t was lived
and not as 1t might have been lived.
The author also asserted that the
gathering Of the material had been
the most thrilling adventure OF his
life: the travelling foot by loot over
the hallowed ground, the reading OF
letters written by hands dead a hum
bred and fifty years or more. the
dreaming over yellow manuscripts
written by priests and martyrs and,
lastly. the unwilling Of loves and hates
and tragedies and happiness of the al
most forgotten period embracing the
very birth Of both the American and
Canadian peoples, and weighted with
happenings that shook the foremost
nations of the earth and largely made
them what they are today.
The story passes through romances,
adventures and other stirring phases
of life in the ChampIafn and Richel1eu
regions and reaches it's finale on the
Plains Of Abraham at Quebec, In that
historic struggle which curbed the am
billions Of the French. established the
ascendency of the English and drew
the first crude boundaries OF the fu-
ture United States and Canada.

Why Officials Did Not
Sign Large Contracts

Much has been heard about Cool
idge economy, but perhaps the larg-
est single saving to the government
antedated Coolidge by nearly five
years. 1t was made by Judge Wal
ter Winter Warwick, then comp
troller of the treasury.
One afternoon in November, 1918,
Judge Warwick was asked by Cen
eral Cocktails to drop in Mt the War
department. Warwick found Goethals
and bevy of other high officers
seated around huge table heaped
with papers.
''Those papers are contracts" Goe-
thals explained. "They represent
the result of months of negotiation
with private manufacturers. None
of them have been signed. but we
have told the manufacturers in each
case that we expect to sign them.
They cover munitions and other sup
plies, and in each case the manufac-
turer has gone ahead on the assump-
ton that the contract would be
signed.
"Slnce these negotiations were
started, however, the armistice has
been signed. Now, what we would
like to know, Judge Warwick, is
whether that makes any difference
whether we can legally sign
them"
Judge Warwick looked at the pa
pers.
"How much money is involved In
these contracts?' he asked.
"Oh, suppose, roughly, billion
dollars" Goethals replied
| "Well, gentlemen" replied Judge
Warwick, 81 can only say this: If
| you sign them every last one Of you
will 60 to the peniteptiary."
He walked out and the contracts
were not signed. One billion dol
lars, more or less, remained in the
federal treasury.-Collier's Weekly.

ture, he had taken him home to Jeems.
1t was scar cut deep by clubs and
kicks, wound that had never healed
and that made the dog what he was
a tireless and suspicious hunter OF
scents and sounds in the woods.
OF the four who were filing west
ward, he seemed to be the only one
who watched and listened for danger
to come out of the beauty and still
ness of the world about them. Now
and then he glanced up at his master.
Trouble lay in the boys face and eyes,
and the dog sensed it after a little
and whined in a questioning way IN
his throat.
Daniel James Bulain was the boys
name, but from babyhood his mother
had called him Jeems. He was twelve
and weighed twenty pounds more than
his dog. Odds-and-End called Odd
for short, weighed sixty, if the scales
in Tonteurs gristmill were right. One
would have known the dog and the boy
belonged together even had they been
in a crowd, for if Odd was battered

hand, gave every evidence of an am
bition to achieve similar physical
condition.

bad pirate come to abduct my little
girl and hold her for ransom Ton

Too Late to Save Them

Armistice day is day of "elevens."
World war hostilities ceased on the
eleventh hour of the eleventh day OF
the eleventh month Of the year. To that
series may be added one more eleven
the story of the II American SOL
diers for whom the Armistice came too
late.
On the afternoon of November -,
an afternoon that was crisp and dry
as if in mockery of the gloomy, wet
days of the last fighting, surviving
members of the Third battalion OF the
One Hundred and Third infantry
gathered around an open grave on the
slopes of the Cote de Caures in the
Meuse-Argonne region. In it, shoulder
to shoulder as they had fought, lay the
bodies of IL American soldiers COW
cred by an American flag.
The previous day their comrades OF
the One Hundred and Third had found
the bodies of the little group for whom
the Armistice came too late. Its COM
mander, Lieut.. Herbert Peart, was sit
ting beside tree, bullet through his
head. In one hand was pencil. In
the other was piece of paper on
which was written captain Cabot:
7:10 a. nj. Am held up by machine
gun fire on left. Have located four of
them. Also on my right" There the
message ended in scrawl.
About him lay the bodies Of his ten
men. The roster of their names is
typical of the cosmopolitan makeup
of the A. e. F. They were the follow
Ing: Corp. Leon leBonville, Privates

Albert O. Abraham, Charles w. Bar
gall, William Whitney and Moses w.
Neptune. They had died fighting to-
gether only few hours before the
Armistice was signed and few hours
after that event they were being buried
together in the same grave.

Seedless Oranges

The original seedless oranges were
produced in Brazil by means of bud
ding and the orange trees of this type
in the United States all descended
from two imported Brazilian trees.
Buds or budding sticks are taken from
seedless orange trees in spring or fall
and inserted in two-year-old Seeding
orange trees of ordinary type. When
the buds send out shoots the seedlings
are cut back 50 that only the budding
portions develop.

Antoinette looking on, her dainty nose
upturned in patrician disdain-and
with Paul Tache, her detestable cousin
from the great city of Quebec, openly
leering and grimacing at him from be-
hind her back. And this after he had
prepared himself with painstaking
care for Marie Antoinette's eyes should
she happen to see him! That was the
tragedy of it. He had put on his
new doeskin suit. He carried a gun
which was two inches longer than
himself. big powderhorn swung at
his waist, in his belt was knife, and
over his shoulder hung the most treas
ured of his possessions, slim ash
bow and CULVER filled with arrows.
He had worn his coonskin cap of fur
in spite of the warmth Of the day. be-
cause it looked better than the lighter
one, which was stripped, and in this
cap was long turkey feather. Odd,
the dog, was proud of his martial-look-
ing master, but he could not under
stand the change that had come over
the boy or why he was going home
with such strangely set and solemn
face.
From her position behind the dog,
the boy, and the man, Catherine Blu
lain looked upon her world with JOY
Gus and unafraid pride No boy, in
her opinion, could equal Jeems, and no
man her husband. One could see and
feel her happiness, and as Tonteur
secretly built up the fire of his yearn-
ing when he was alone. so she loved to
exult in her own possessions when her
men folk were ahead and could not
see all that came and went in her face.

some small and sacred part of her
rejoicing was because she was Eng

The Corpse That Came Back

Battery d of the One Hundred and
Twenty-fourth artillery, Thirty-third
division, was moving up toward the
front by train from Besancon. Dur
ing the night journey a horse became
frightened, broke it's halter rope and
proceeded to make things lively in
that car for all concerned. Private
McAllister tried to catch the horse,
whereupon the wild-eyed animal
planted its heels in Private McAllis-
ter's chest, gave a mighty push and
Private McAllister went sailing out
through the side door into the night.
1t was some time before the acct
dent was reported to the major who
stopped the train and sent kilograms
back, directing searching parties to
look for the corpse and give it proper
burial. Eighteen hours later Battery
B passed that way and saw the body
still lying along the track, whereat
there was much indignation at the
negligence of the French who would
allow the body Of an ally to lie un-
cared for.
But that night bedraggled soldier
appeared in Battery DIS camp, stag
gered up to Lieutenant Plantz and
saluted, "Sir my names McAllister,"

care of it, but didn't know the horse
was going to boot me. I'll sure pay
