He lay stretched on a cot of furs, his glazing eyes fastened to the tiny window cov- ered with oiled mooseskin as thouga his last look would be on the sun- light he had always loved with a natural-born woodman’s devotion. The peaceful expression very often seen on the faces of those who die from gunshot wounds cloaked the rugged hardness of the fare of tite man who had been a trapper for fifty years, and more or less a defier and violater of the law ever since he had been able to set a trap. In the rack of deer-prongs close above his head rested his rifles, a long muzzle-loading one and a short- er repeater of modern design. From the smokey ceiling, attached to pegs driven into the log scantlings hung haunches of dried venison and sides of pork, Although the month was May and the air outside balmy, in the crude fireplace a hickory log was blazing; its ruddy tongues send- ing forth reflections that seemed to spit vindictively at the subdued glow of sunlight straining through the parchment, Seated on the foot of the cot, his chin in his hands, was a boy of per- haps nineteen summers, His face was swarthy and thin, not unlike that other face turned towards the win- dow; his black eyes were sombre. He stood up, .as the form on the cot stirred with a groan, and lifted a dipper of water from the bench, “Thirsty, Dad?” he asked commis- eratingly. “Burnin’ up, Dannie, jest burnin’ up,” whispered the wounded man feebly, “I guess I'll be passing ’em through mighty quick, now.” “Oh, Dad!” cried the boy, clench- ing and unclenching his hands in an agony of feeling. “You mustn't give up; you mustn’t, do ye hear? You're goin’ to get all right again, The bleedin’s stopped an’ the fever’s ‘bout gone, Willer'll be back here with Dorkin soon, He'll know what to do.” “They'll have to get here quick, I’m thinkin’, son,” the father, “Dad,” cried the boy, “who did it, d'ye think?” A faint smile flickered across the greying face. pretty wheezed “That’s hard to say, son,” he answered, He gave a long sigh and lay still, breathing in short, weak gasps. “What do you ’spose is keep- in’ ’em, son?” he whispered, “I got- ta see Dorkin afore I cross over; I jest gotta see him that’s all.” The boy went to the door and threw it open.

Gawd, oh, Gawd, how I hate to leave it all!” The boy heard and gave a shud- dering voiceless sob, His eyes sought the wide forest. “They’re comin’ up the trail now, dad,” he cried. “They will be here right soon.” “Will they, son,” returned the fath- er eagerly. “Well, then, you go down an’ meet ’em’an’ hold Willer outside thar with you awhile. I gotta see Dorkin alone.” “All right, Dad; another drink afore I go?” “No, nuthin’, nuthin’, ’t all, I’ve got the taste of new leaves an’ wood- blossoms in my mouth, Dannie. Maybe it'll last ’till I go, It’s a heap better’n water. You slip along an’ send Dorkin in here,” He lay, with eyes closed, as the woodsman entered. The sunlight had slipped away from the glazed win- dow; the fire had died to a smould- ering heap, Outside, a freshening breeze stirred the fir woods, as low in the heavens spread a widening can- opy of cloud. Dorkin knelt besides the couch and lifted one of the old man’s hands. “Daddy Farney,” he said sympath- etically, “this is hard luck.” “It’s comin’ on to storm, ain't it, Dorkin?” asked the trapper, opening his eyes. “I fancy I hear them old trees a-grievin’.” “Yes, Daddy, it’s going to storm.” “Wall, that’s all right, I allers reckoned I'd like to pass out of this wild world I know so well was cryin’. It's better than havin’ to trek across when the stun was on the leaves an’ the birds were singin’.” Dorkin was silent. “Let me have a look at the wound, Daddy,” he said at length; “maybe I can do something.” “Look all ye like, but ye can’t do nuthin’? whispered the trapper. Dorkin gently unwrapped the clum- sy bandage from about the wound, which lay low down behind the shoulder. The heavy soft-nosed bul- let had gone clean through, leaving a gaping hole. One glance was suffic- ient for him to realize that there was no earthly help for the trapper, Gent- ly he replaced the bandage, and sat looking down at the ashing face be- fore him. The trapper opened his eyes and fastened them upon Dorkin’s face. “I want to speak to you ’bout Willer,” he said. “I know you're a square man, an’ when I go I want you to look arter her. Will ye do it?” He asked the question with a dir- ectness that had always been a strong characteristic of him. “Surely,” answered Dorkin quickly, “if you wish it, Daddy.” “Wall, I do wish it. TI wish it more’n anything else in the world, Dorkin. Go over thar and lift up that bearskin in the corner, You'll find a trapdoor an’ under that door you'll find a box. Jast bring it here.” Farney sank back, utterly exhaust- ed, and when Dorkin returned from executing the order, his mind was wandering. But upon the pressure of the woodsman’s cool hand on the hot forehead, the dying man drifted partly back into the present. “You got it?” he whispered. “Yes, Daddy, I have it. “Tt's hern,” said the trapper; “it’s Willer‘s. I aimed to tell her about it soon. Now you'll have to tell her. That box holds what will prove the truth of what I’m going to tell you An thar’s some trinkets in that But I now. wuth a lot o’ money, Dorkin, must tell ye—” He paused through sheer weakness, and for a long time lay looking up at the woodsman, “Dorkin,” he said, finally. “I’ve been a right bad man in my day, one way an’ another—l’ve stole from the traps of other trap- pers, played hell with the rangers, fooled the government, done lots of things I ain’t proud of; you know all that?” Dorkin was silent.

These carefully prepared arrange- ments have now materialized, and at the present time the Armstrong- Whitworth company is making a re- markable bid for the premier position amongst locomotive builders through- out the world, The erstwhile ammu- nition works at Scotswood on Tyne- side were allocated for the construc- tion of locomotives. Immediately af- ter the armistice they commenced their reorganization in this direction, with a forceful thoroughness which has brought a splendid success. Within the short space of a year the-vast ammunition plant has been swept away, new plant installed, and the first Armstrong Whitworth loco- motive—a powerful 0-8-0 type for the North Eastern Railway — was com- pleted™ and delivered from their works. Today the Scotswood loco- motive works are the largest and best equipped works of their kind in the British Empire. Their present output capacity is over 400 heavy main line engines per year. It is understood, however, that the support which the new Armstrong en- terprise has reccived from all parts of the world is such that considera- tion is now being given to new and important extensions in regard to the works, The result of such proposed extensions would be to make the Scotswood works probably the most important centre in the world for the construction of locomotives. Even under present conditions, the com- pany anticipates that by the summer of 1920, the output will have increased to not less than 45 locomotives per week, es Protect the child from the ravages of worms by using Mother Graves’ Worm Exterminator.

But how can any woman be healthy and happy when the whole nervous system is unstrung. The trouble is they pay more attention to their social and household duties than they do to their health, Is it any wonder then that they. become irrit- able and nervous, have hot flushes, | faint and dizzy spells, smothering and | sinking spells, become weak and-ner-| yous, and everything in life becomes dark and gloomy. Milburn’s Heart and Nerve Pills are the very remedy that nervous, tired- out, weary women need to restore} them to the blessings of good health. | Mrs. P. H. Ryan, Sand Point, N.S.,| writes: “I have been a great sufferer | from nerve troubles. I was so weak and nervous I could not sleep at night, and my appetite ~was very poor. I) could not walk across the floor with-4 out trembling. I had hot flushes and} fainting spells. When I was on my second box of Milburn’s Heart and; Nerve Pills. I began to feel better and kept on until I had_used six boxes, when_I felt like a different person, I am never without them in the house and recommend them to all who suffer with their nerves.” Price 50c a box at all dealers or mailed direct on receipt of price by The T.

The figures 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, are infinitely easier to learn than the cumbersome Chinese figures and as both are taught in the schools, it stands to reason that the young John Chinaman are going to favor the eas- ier method. The Braille system is in use in China for the blind, who, owing to the prevalence of leprosy, are common in that country. > A Pill That is Prized—There have been many pills put upon, the market and pressed upon public attention, but none has endured so long or met with so much favor as Parmelee’s Vegeta- ble Pills. Widespread use of them has attested their great value, and they need-no further advertisement than this. Having firmly established themselves in public esteem, they now rank without a peer in the list of standard vegetable preparations. Antique Grain Will Not Grow The stories about the germination of wheat and other cereals, found wrapped with ancient Egyptian mum- mies, are declared to be fictitious by the United States Department of Ag- riculture, French tests show that grain more than a few years old will not germinate. German tests indicate that when seeds are kept under ideal conditions, wheat, barley and oats may germinate up to eight or ten years, but few if any grains, are alive after twenty years. GIRLS!

Commerce on Great Lakes Has In- creased Immensely In the course of an article in the View on the. proposed new deep waterway from the Great Lakes te | the sea, interesting statistics are pree sented respecting the growth of ship- ping on these fresh: water bodies, In 1850, the records show, the en- tire volume of freight on the Great Lakes amounted to only about 25,00@ tons, carried on by a few small vese sels, In 1916 there were 37,852 pase sages of vessels through the Detroit River, with a registered tonnage ot more than 76,000,000, cary 100,000,006 tons of freight of an estimated value of more than $1,000,000,000. In 1917 and 1918, owing to causes arising out of the war, this enormous water commerce was slightly reduced, but already there is reason to believe that it will be immensely increased during the next few years, The ton- nage is already many times greater than that which passes through the Suez Canal. i FCZEMA i yeu uso br. hase’s Olnt- ment for Eczema and Skin.

That is to say, encouragement is be- ing given to the raising of sheep in a varicty of ways—by pure bred rams being distributed, or sold on easy terms, by the holding of competitions, at which generous prizes are given for the best ewes and for the best flocks, by obtaining the highest price for wool through the departments, and through the Canadian Co-Oper- ative Wool Growers’ Association, by organized sheep sales, and, as in On- tario in particular, by placing flocks on a share basis. Amended legisla- tion has also been passed for the pro- tection of sheep from dogs, As a sample of the good work that is be- ing performed it might be mentioned that in Saskatchewan in the last four years, the amount of wool consigned to the co-operative branch of the pro- vincial department of agriculture ins creased from 179 consignments, only weighing 69,404 pounds, which | the average price realized was 1734 j cents, to 916 consignments, weighing 394,068 pounds, at an average price ;of 614% cents per pound.

In the province of Saskatchewan it is anticipated that | the quantity of wool produced on the smaller farms will be about 100,000) pounds greater than the output from } the same source year. As the number of sheep on the Alberta and Manitoba farms has proportionately increased, a similar gain in the pro- duction of wool in these two prov- inces may also be expected. ; last Catarrh Cannot be Cured | by LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they can- not reach the seat of the disease, Catarrh is a local disease, greatly influenced by constitu- tional conditions, HALL’S CATARRH ME- DICINE will cure catarrh, It is taken in- Mucous Surfaces of the system.

Boy Hanged by Friends Were Reproducing Film Drama They Had Seen A tragedy which recently occurred in the city of Perpignan, in the Py- rences region, has again raised the question in France of the ill influence of moving pictures on children. A few boys between the ages of 10 and 12 years were playing together when one of them suggested that they should play moving pictures, They selected for their reproduction the hanging scene they had recently seen in a film drama. One of the little boys played the part of the man who was to be lynched. He stood on a chair andthe noose was slipped around his neck, The chair fell from under his feet and he remained swinging, in the air. A woman, alarm- ed at the cries of the frightened chil- dren, rushed to the rescue, but when she cut the rope and took thé child down, he was dead.

UITERLY HELPLESS FROM ST. VITUS DANCE Sufferer Restored to Health Through the Use of Dr. Wil- liams’ Pink Pills. St. Vitus Dance is a disease of the nerves brought on by a morbid con- dition of the blood, It is a common disease with children, and attacks girls more frequently than boys, — Ir- ritability is frequently one of the first signs noted. The child frets, it is quarrelsome, and docs not sleep well. The jerky movements that charact- erize the disease come a little later. The: patient becomes pale, lanquid and often constipated. The limbs and The sometimes the whole body jerks spas-| modically, and in severe cases the power of speech is affected. Such a child should not be allowed to study, but should be kept quiet, given a nu- tritious diet, remain out of doors as much as possible, and above all things given a course of Dr, Williams Pink Pills to build up the blood and restore nerves, Without this trouble may become the patient a life-long sufferer, ‘The value of Dr. Williams Pink Pills in cases of this kind is shown by the following statement by Mr. Frank J. Scriven, Acton, Ont., who says: “In January, 1917, when treatment the chronic and I resided at Milton, Ont., my daught- ; er Gertrude, then aged fourteen, had a bad attack of rheumatic which left as its after effects a severe attack of St. Vitus dance. the doctor’s care, She was entirely helpless, being unable to even hold a spoon to feed herself. For a time she lost the power of speech almost en- tirely and only with great difficulty made herself understood, The twitch- ing of her muscles was so bad it was painful to sce her, After a long time and taking a lot of medicine, scemed to improve, But she did not seem to get along as she ought to. In November, 1917, we removed to Acton, and in January, 1918, she was| confined to her bed with St. She was again in a terrible state and quite helpless. She was under a doctor's care, and while again there was an improvement, she was | still very nervous, did not look well) and was always tired. In May, 1918, we decided to try Dr. Williams Pink Pills, and see what they would do for her, She took them regularly ac- cording to directions, and after taking | Several boxes there was a decided im- provement. After a further use of the pills she is now as healthy a girl as you would wish to see. She is fat, with a fine, healthy color and_ is strong and lively. The neighbors to whom she is well known remark on the wonderful change in her ap- pearartee since taking Dr, Williams Pink Pills. Both her mother and myself are convinced that the pills have done her a world of good as she is now far healthier than we at one time thought she ever would be.” For all trouble due to poor blood and weak nerves there is no other { medicine can equal Dr, Williams Pink Pills. You can get these pills from any dealer in medicine, or by mail, post paid, at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr, Wil- liams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. W. N,.

Killing of Weeds Tn Brush Areas Committee on Fieldcrop Experiments For Alberta Makes Recom- mendationg The provincial committee on field- crop experiments for Alberta, of which Prof. G. H. Cutler, of the unl- versity is chairman, makes the fol- lowing recommendations for summer- fallowing in brush areas: “In those districts where precipi= tation is adequate, summerfallowing is not necessary as a means of con- serving moisture, but may be employ- ed in freeing the land from weeds. Even in so doing on our heavy black soils the crop following the summer- fallow grows too rank and matures too late to give best results. Under these conditions it invariably lodges and fills poorly, If a good crop ro- tation is followed, including a grass crop or green crop, the summerfal- low, except in special cases may be eliminated, Where the fallow must be used some of the undesirable ef- fects may be lessened by not plow- ing so deep, or so early in June, or by pasturing the fallow by seeding to oats or rape in July.” More than 75,000 children finish their school career each year in New York. Lift off Corns! Doesn’t hurt a bit and Freezone costs only a few cents. | With your fingers! You can lift off any hard corn, soft corn, or corn be- tween the toes, and the hard skin calluses from bottom of feet. A tiny bottle of “Freezone” costs \little at any drug store; apply a few {drops upon the corn or callus. In- |stantly it stops hurting, then shortly you lift that bothersome corn or callus right off, root and all, without one bit of pain or soreness. ‘Truly! No humbug! Rotating Sheep Pastures | Lambs Especially Find New Grass More Easily Digested Sheep cannot reasonably be expect ed to remain healthy and free from parasites peculiar to sheep if they are kept year after year on the same permanent pasture, and especially if the pastures are low and lacking in mineral matters. Sheep deplete soil of needed minerals, In time they fail to find needed supplies and suffer ac- cordingly, That is true of any kind of animal. They also taint permanent pastures with the parasites peculiar to their kind. For best results, therefore, it is im- perative that sheep have frequent changes of pasture; that a “fresh bite” | be had, that grass may not be too closely bitten, that worms therefore will be less likely to infest them and that they may have a surer supply of mineral matters as well as organic matters in their feed. Lambs espec- ially must have new seeding each spring. On the sheep-tainted and contaminated pastures they infest themselves with worms, On new | grass they escape worms and besides that, find such grass more palatable and easily masticated and digested. The other lesson is that rams, so far as possible, always should come from a “hardier” district that that in which the ewes have been bred. The same line of blood may be maintained but the ram used annually should, if pos- | sible, be one raised outside of the {immediate district in which the ewes | have been produced, and from a dis- trict that is better adapted and more | healthy for sheep. | To Make More Room in Building The highest office structure in the world is not big enough, The tower- ing 54-story Woolworth building in New York is being revamped to make more room, The special U-shaped court which divides the west side of the great edifice into two tall wings is being closed up as far as the fifth floor, welding the two wings together at their bases to give new space de- manded by their tenants, If one be troubled with corns and warts, he will find in Holloway’s Corn Cure an application that will entirely relieve suffering.
