THE DAILY B SYNOPSIS. Bush McTaggart, the factor of Post MacBain, a brutal and unscrupulous schemer, was determined to marry Ne- peese, the beautiful Indian "princess," daughter of 'Pierrot, the trapper. He had tired of Marie, the slim Cree girl who had been his companion. McTag- gart's advances were distasteful to Ne- peese and aroused the enmity of her father, so the conscienceless factor plot ted to do away with Pierrot if neces- sary to win his daughter for himself.

I wm ,S0N OF RAZAN James Olivér Curwmd- A LOVE EPIC OF THE FAR NORTH "He is coming, tomorrow, ma che- rie," he said. "What shall I tell him"? The Willow's lips were red. Her eyes shone. But she did not look at her fa. ther, "Nothing, Nootawe--except that you are to say to kim that I am the one to whom he must' come--for what he seeks." Pierrot bent "over and catght her smiling. The sun went down. His heart sank with it, like cold lead. From Lac Bain to Pierrot's cabin the trail cut within half a mile of the bea- ver-pond, a dozen miles from where Pierrot. lived; and it was here, on a twist of the creek in which Wakayoo had caught fish for Baree, that Bush McTaggaft made his camp for the night. . It was a splendid night that followed. Perhaps Baree would have slept thru it in his nest on the top of the dam if the bacon smell had not stirred the new hunger in him. Since his adven- ture in the canyon, the deeper forest had held a dread for him, especially at pight. But this night was like a pale, golden day; it was moonless; but the stars shone like a billion distant lamps, flooding the world in a soft and bil- lowy sea of light. A gentle whisper of wind made pleasant sounds in the tree. tops. Beyond that it was very quiet. In this silence Baree began to hunt. He stirred up a family of half-grown partridges, but they escaped him. He pursued a rabbit that was swifter than he. For an hour he had no luck. Then he heard a sound that made every drop of blood in him thrill. He was close to McTaggart's camp, and what he heard was a rabbit in one of McTaggart's snares. He came out into a little star- lit_open and there he saw the rabbit going through a most marvelous panto mime. It amazed him for a moment, and he stopped in his tracks. Wapoos, the rabbit, had rua his furry head into the snare, and his first frightened jump had "shot" the sap- ling to which the copper wire was at- tached so that he was now hung half in midair, with only his hind feet touch- ing the ground. And there he was danc ing madly while the noose about his neck slowly choked him to death. Baree gave a sort of gasp. He could understand nothing of the part that the wire and' the sapling were playing in this curious game. All hé could see was that Wapoos was hopping and dancing about on his hind legs in a most puzzling gnd unrabbit-like fash- fon. It may be that he thought it gome sort of play. In this instance, however, he did not regard Wapoos as he had looked on Unlisk the beaver, He knew that Wapoos made mighty fine eating, and after another moment or two_of hesitation he darted upon his prey. M¢éTaggart had heard no sound, for the snare into which Wapoos had run his head was the one set farthest from the camp. Besides the smouldering coals of his fire he sat with his back to a tree, smoking his black pipe and dreaming covetously of Nepeese, when Bared continued his night wandering, Baree no longer had the desire to hut, wie was too full. But he nosed in and out of the starlit spaces, enjoying im- mensely the stillness and the golden glow of the night. He was following a rabbit run when he came to a place where two fallen logs left a trail no wider than his'body. He squeezed through; something tightened about his neck; there was a sudden snap--a swish as the sapling was rel d from its "trigger"--and Baree was jerked off his feet so suddenly that he had no time to conjecture as to what 'was hap- pening. The yelp in his throat died in a gur- gle, and the next moment he was go- ing through the pantomimjc actions of Wapoos, who was having his venge- ance inside him. For the life of him Baree could not keep from dancing about, while the wire grew tighter and When he snap. ped at the wire and flung the weight of his body to the ground ,the sapling would bend obligingly, and then--in its rebound--would yank him for an in- stant completely off the earth. Fur- fously he struggled. It was a miracle that the fine wire held him.

It is' built for hard, everyday use in the most used room in the house --the family living room of the modern home. When a man wants to be com- " fortable after thé day's work is done, he doesn't long to sit up in a stifi-backed chair or recline on a fancy spindle-legged sofa. Those days are passed and gone. Nowa- days a man looks for a broad, low, Sani-Bilt Chesterfield or a deep, ca- pacious Sani-Bilt Chair. He wants to relax and be comfortable. In a house where there are child- ren it is no use_buying living room furniture that won't withstand con- stant uce. Active little people are up and down, in and out, all the time.

Beauty Founded on$S The beauty of Snyder's Sani-Bilt is more skin deep. It is beauty founded on constructional strength. The frames are built of thick, clear, solid hardwood without knot or flaw. Every joint is a together with a craftsman's skill, being dow- elled and corner-plocked, glued and screwed. of os Nor does a Sani-Bilt Chair or Chesterfield sag under heavy use. The springs rest on interlaced straps of a special, non-stretchable Scotch webbing, nailed securely to the frame. The springs themselves are more numerous than in ordinary Uphalstered furniture, the Sani-Bilt Chesterfield seat containing four rows of Springs as com, d to the usual three. They are of rust-proof, oil-tempered steel, very strong, cross-tied into place so that they may not- slip from position under weight of constant use. The strain being thus equalized, no sags can occur. The edge of the seat is supported by a strong, steel wire stretched taut from arm to arm. The Moths Can't Hurt It Snyder's Sani-Bilt Furniture is, of course, absolutely immune from moths. Moths can't hurt; it.
