A typhoon had swept across the seas verging upon the Phillipine Islands. The lifeless body of the mechanic had been found in the water where it was feared the rest had perished. For once Darbury was shocked to grief-stricken silence. Barbara and Allan were not dead. The machine had heen wrecked on a reef, but they had providentially es- caped. To Barbara it all seemed like a horrible nightmare. She was a cast- away on an uninhabited tropical island a million miles from civilization: a weak, defenseless, frightened girl, at the mercy of a man she neither liked nor understood! The days passed quickly and pleas- antly. Alan constructed a rude shelter; the island abounded in natural fruits, so they had plenty to eat. There was nothing to do but wait and hope for 2 passing ship. Wandering about one day, a movement behind among the trees caused Barbara to lock round quickly. The sight that met her eyes made her blood run cold i See the outcome at the Strand Thea- tre, id and Tuesday. £2 For Sale SEVERAL HQUSES in GOOD LOCA- TONS.--Prices and Terms Reasonable. --T0 LET--- THREE SMALL HOUSES in North Dryden.--Rents $10 to $12.

GIBSON, Agent, Dryden | Farmers' Picnic. KENORA PIPE BAND CREATES SENSATION. Those citizens of Dryden who had retired at a respectable hour on Friday last, and had their slumbers disturbed by the long-absent yet familiar strains of the bagpipes shrilling through thei partly-open windows, sprung to thon fulness out of the nehulz of dreams, with some realization "How in the noon of night that pibroch thrills, As with the breath which fills Their mountain-pipe, so fill the mountaineers 'With that fierce native daring which instills 'he stirring mem'ries of a thousand years." Stepping to the window, the inspiring sight of the Kenora Pipe Band, with waving tartans and plaided uniforms, brightened the eye as their martial musie stirred exile hearts that melted | with poignant memories of Auld Lang Syne. LEE EEE Late as was the hour, the pipers did not forget to serenade some whose ts to Scottish ancestry and traditions are most marked. Dougald Kennedy, M.P, was the first so honoured, while Tom Proudfoet and Bob Foote, though later in point of time, were not to be considered second. Some, indeed; are ready to swear that Tom's pyjamas in the uncertain light seemed to sway in perfect unison with the kilts--but that may have been imagination. There is, however, no question that every heart lifted to the lilt of the bagpipes, as friendly dark. 'during the their melodies floated out across the! Enjoyed Labour Day List of Prizes---Horse Races Popular, Preesnt Walter Scott Cup to Cubs. THE Labour Day Celebration held last Monday was such an all-round success that it would be difficult to do justice to those who had the courage and fore- sight to organize it on such a scale. So many useful facts were demongtra- ted--that an adequate programme is more likely te succeed than a half- hearted one; that ample prizes will secure entries and draw the crowd and show a balance on the right gide. A standard has been set that it would be unwise for any committee ever to try to lower. Give the people what they want and they'll turn out all right. 1259 paid for admission, and adding the children who were admitted free besides the players and those who as- sisted with the arrangements, and it is easy to understand that about two thousand people entered the ground: the day. $594.00 were taken at the g gate, and the receipts for the day including the dance at Oxdrift were over $700.00! That is going some, ig it not? The parade was a revelation which would have done credit to a larger and richer centre. The floats were indeed splendid, and at least fifty autos were in the procession, besides the School children, the paper mill representation, the fine hands, the horses and the in- dividual comic costumes, First prize for float went to Dryden Paper Co., Jas. Winterbottom taking the second with his neat model of a bungalow. Mrs Morris captured the prize for Decorated Car, with a pretty representation of "Fairyland," Mrs W. D. Dickson being second with a Next morning, under the glare of a bright Canadian sun, enthusiasm was no less displayed as the pipers led the way to the Farmers' Picnic grounds, where a big assembly of settlers with wives and children had foregathered to enjoy the day. The Picnic had been arranged partly to celebrate the success of Mr Heenan in. securing the Liberal as well as the Labor nomination for the coming election. And Peter himself was there in person to acknowledge their good- will, supported by Dougald Kennedy, M.P., the retiring ee and their old friend and sponsor A. R. Hutchisen to whose indomitable Scottish spirit was to be credited the presence of the pipers. Peter Heenan gave a short talk after the show in the Strand theatre, giving his reasons for entering the Federal field. No matter what the result of the election, he intended to continue his criticism of those who opposed him.
