Memory of the girl was still in his 3mind as he and Neb rode silently j forth on the black prairie, lean-ling the 5 extra horse behind him. He endeav- : ored to drive the I'éâ€"i‘m.‘»':i«-<‘tlim from: his g mind, so he might ccmcentrate it upon plans for the future but somehow she mysteriously wove hex ov. n personali :ty into those plans, and he was eicr . seeing the pleading in her eyes and ! listening to the soft Southern ace exit of her voice. Of late years he had been unaccustomed to association with women of high type. and there was that touch of the gentlewoman about this girl which had awakened deep interest. Of course he knew that in her case it was merely an inherio tance at her past, and could not truly represent the present Christie Ma- claire of the music halls. However fascinating she might be, she could not: be worthy any serious considera- tior’. in spite of his rough life the social Spirit of the old South was 1m planted in his blood, and no woman of :that class con (1 hold him cQQtive. Yet, 'some way she refused to be banished or left behind. Even Neb must have been obsessed by a similar spirit, for he suddenly observed: “Dat am sutt’nly a mighty fine gal, Massa "Jack.

Keith possessed sufficient means for several months of idleness. and even if he had not, his reputation as a. plains scout would insure him employ- ment at any of the more important scattered army DOE-.‘CS. Reliable men for such service were in demand. The restlessness of the, various Indian tribes, made specially manifest by raids on the more advanced settle- ments, and extending over a constant- ly widening territory, required contin- uous interciiange of communication between commanders of detachments.

Neb threw himself on the turf and was instantly asleep, but Keith climbed the steep side of. the gully, and made searching survey of the horizon. The wide arc to the south, east and west revealed nothing to his searching eyes, except the dull brown of the slightly rolling plains _ with no life apparent save some dis-f tent grazing antelope but to the north extended more broken country with a faint glimmer of water between the hills. Satisfied they were unobserved, he slid back again into the depression. As he turned to lie down he took hold of the saddle- belonging to Hawley’s horse. In the unbuckled holster his eye observed the glimmer of a bit of white paper. He drew it forth, and gazed at it unthinkingly. It was an, envelope, robbed of its contents, evi-i dently not Sent through the mails, as . it had not been stamped, but across, its face was plainly written, “Miss!

As to the girlâ€" weil, he would keep his word with her, of course. and see her again sometime. There would be no diifi- tulty about that, but otherwise she should retain no influence over him. She belonged rather to Hawley’s class than his. . “I reck’n both ob yer might be mis- took,” he insisted doggedly. Neb rubbed his eyes, and slapped his pony’s flank, unable to answer, yet still unconvinced. “Not likely," and Keith’s brief laugh was not altogether devoid of bitter- ness. “We both called her Christie Maclalre, and she didn’t even deny the name; she was evidently not proud of It. but there was no denial that she was the girl." Across Its .‘ace Was Plainiy Written, “Miss Christie Maciairc." I was there.

Without superstition. devoid of any thought of the future state. have been found in the interior forests of Suma- tra, according to Dr. Wilhelm Volz. the geologist of the University of Breslau, who‘made extensive journeys though the island. There he found the Kubus, as he named them. who are scarcely to be distinguished from the small manlike ape of the Indo-Malayan countries. They are wanderers through the forest seeking food. They have no property. They are not hunters, but simply collectors. They seek merely suflicient nuts. fruits and other edible growths to keep them alive. The Ku- bus wage very little warfare upon the small amount of animal life in their silent and somber land. The only no- tion he could get from them of a dif- ference between a live and a dead per« son was that the dead do not breathe. He infers that they are immeasurably inferior to the paleolithic man of Eu- rope who fashioned tools and hunted big game with his flint tipped arrow and knife. Intellectual atrophy is the result of the Kubus’ environment. The words they know are almost as few as the ideas they try to expressâ€"Chicago News.

A fatal accident occurred on the farm of Mr. Joseph Boyle, five on Thursday, July 18th, when their third son, Jackson, aged 15 years, 1 month, lost his life while engaged in driving four horses at- tached to a disc barrow, He had gone out in the morning, bright and cheerful. and had worked all forenoon. and at noon he started across the piece of ground he was discing, and in doing so had to pass the engine. with which his older brothers, Frank and George, were ploughing. The horses be- came frightened and lsegan to run, and in some unaccountable way he was thrown under the disc. Frank made an attempt to stop the horses, but they got past him be- fore he reached them. and in less than three minutes. the disc had passed over his l-rother‘s lefty. leaving it a mangled form. one leg being completely severed from the body: also other very severe Wounds in the abdomen. He was hastily taken to the house. int only lived al-out half an hour.‘ Mr. Robert Eiiot, a near DGIgh' bor, was immediately called. and willingly tool: charge of dressmg and emhalming the body. Al- though the lower part of his body was badly mangled, his hands and face remained untouched, giving him the appearance of smiling in death. (. The funeral took place on Sat- urday morning, July 20th, to the Hawarden Public cemetery. fol- lowed by over forty carriages of friends and neighbors, , which showed the sympathy that was extended to the family in' their hour of bereavement. The casket was covered with many beautiful Wreaths. among which was alarge one from‘his school mates. Lion‘s Head..-.-. Meaford..-... Merlin ........................ Midland..--..
