MEMORY OF THE LAW. The law has a long memory. It seldom forgets those who may become entangled in it, and John Shackleton, a “blind pigger,” of Midland, has reason to know this. In February, 1911, he was convicted of sellin liquor in Midland, a local opt on district, and fined $200 and costs. He was given time to pay but did not. Instead, he shipped out, and, as he doubtless thought, fooled the police. This week he was iound in Toronto, where he was arrested and taken back to Midland. He will now be called upon to serve three months in jail unless he cashes in the amountâ€"Contact” Bulletin. While it is enerally admitted The Family erald and Weekly Star, of Montreal, is the best fam- ily and farmer’s weekly paper printed, the publishers are deter- mined to make it still better. They are sparing no expense to give their subscribers of 1913 big- ger value than ever. Their beau- tiful picture “Mother’s Treasures" is a delightful subject for the home and it is safe to say that no one who receives a copy would part with it for double the money. ++++++++++¢ No mistake can be made in send- ing one dollar for that great week- ly paper for 1913, Every subscrib- er gets the picture, “Mother's Treasures,”, size 23 by 29 inches, tree. It is the biggest dollar’s worth offered to-day. ANYONE on: xmnms New Pumps.

His heart and spirit rose \xizh “wry step he made away irorn the main traveled roads or the more (iiilit't. a. rr‘iountuin trails. For Several days he journeyed through the mountains, choosing tin Wildest and most lililww‘SSiblG parts for his going. Amid the canons and peaks he threaded his way with on erring accuracy, ascending higher and higher until at last he reached the mountain aerie, the lonely hermitage. where he made his home. There he reveled in his isolation. What had been punishment, expiation, had at last become pleasure. Civilization was bursting through ‘the hills in every direction, railways ,were being pushed hither and thither, the precious metals were being dis- icovered at various places and after them came hoards of men and with fthemâ€"God save the markâ€"women; but his section of the country had hitherto been unvisited even by hunt- ers, eXplorcrs, miners or pleasure seekers. He was glad, as he had grown to love the spot where he had made his home, and he had no wish to be forced, like little Joe, to move on Once a man who loved the strife noble or ignobie. of the maddini crowd. he had grown accustomed tr silence, habituated to solitude. Winte and summer alike he roamed th mountains. delving into every tore: 011010?ng every hidden canyon, sur- mounting every inaccessible peak; n0 storm, no snow, no condition of wind or weather daunted him or stopped him. He had no human companion- ship by which to try his mettle, but nevertheless over the world of the material which lay about him he was a master as he was a man. He found some occupation, too, in the following of old Adam’s inherit- ance; during the pleasant months of summer he made such garden as he could. ills profession of mining en- gineer gave him other employment. Round about him lay treasures ines- timabie, precious metals abounded in the hills. He had located them, tested. analyZed, estimated the wealth that was his for the takingâ€"it was as val- ueless to him as the douhloons and golden guineas were to Selkirk on his island. Yet the knowledge that it was there gave him an energizing sense of potential power, unconsciously enorm. ously flattering to his self-esteem. Death, Life and the Resurrection. The man was coming back from one of his rare visits to the settlements. Ahead of him he drove a train of burros who, well broken to their work, followed with docility the wise old leader in the advance. The burros were laden with his supplies for the approaching winter. The season was late, the mountains would soon be im- passable on account of the snows, in. deed he chose the late season always for his buying in order that he might not be followed, and it was his hab it to buy in dinerent places at different years that his repeated and expected presence at one spot might not arouse suspicion. Intercourse with his fellow men was confined to this yearly visit to a set- tlement, and even that was of the briefest nature, confined always to the business in hand. Even when busy in the town he pitched a small tent in the open on the outskirts and dwelt apart. No men there in those days pried into the business of other men Sometimes he 'wandered to the ex- treme verge of the range and on clear days saw far beneath him the smoke of great cities of the plains. He could be master among men as he was a master among mountains, it he chose. On such occasions he hushed “1 She Screamed Aloud. lng from I g their soc so satisfied . hills. His 1 very step 1 ain travele. CHAPTER VI. .il and of which he sometimes caught a flashing glimpse through the trees. He scrambled down the rocks and found himself in a thick grove of pine. Making his way slowly and with great difiiculty through the tangle of fallen timber which lay in every di- rection, the sound of a human voice, the last thing on earth to be expected in that wilderness, smote upon the fearful hollow of his ear. He had been walking for some hours, and as he grew thirsty it oc- curred to him to descend to the level of the brook which he heard below him He did not allow these thoughts to come into his life; indeed, it is quite likely that he scarcely realized them at all yet; such possibilities did not present themselves to him. Perhaps the man was a little mad that morn- ing, maybe he trembled on the verge of a breakâ€"upward, downward, I know not so it be awayâ€"unconsciods- 1y as he strode along the range that morning. It was against nature that a man dowered as he should so live to him- self alone. Some voice should cry in his soul in its cerements of futile re- morse, vain expiations and benumbing recollection; some day he should burst these grave clothes self-wound about him and be once more a. man and a master among men, rather than the hermit and the recluse of the 3011- tudes. Any voice or any word then and there would have surprised him, but there was a note of awful terror in this voice, a sound of frightened ap peal. The desperation in the cry left him no moment for thought, the de- mand was for action. The cry was not addressed to him, apparently, but to God, yet it was he who answeredâ€" sent doubtless by that Over-looking Power who works in such mysterious ways His wonder to perform! He leaped over the intervening trees to the edge of the forest where the rapid waters ran. To the right of him rose a huge rock, or cliflf, in front of him the canon bent sharply to the north, and beneath him a few rod. away a speck of white gleamed above the water of a. deep and still pool that he knew. There was a woman there! He had time for but the swiftest glance; he had surmised that the voice was not that of a man’s voice instant- ly he heard it, and now he was sure. She stood white breast deep in the wa- ter staring ahead of her. The next second he saw what had alarmed her â€"a Grizzly Bear, the largest, fiercest. moat forbidding speciman he had ever A great and terrible sorrow‘was upon him; cherishing a great passion he had withdrawn himself from the common lot to dwell upon it. From a perverted sense of expiation, in a. madness of grief, horror and despair, he had made himself a prisoner to his ideas in the desert of the mountains. Back to his cabin he would hasten, and there surrounded by his living memoriesâ€"deathless, yet of the dead! â€"he would recreate the past until de- jection drove him abroad on the hills to meet God if not manâ€"or woman. Night-day, sunshine-shadow, heat-cold, storm-calm; these were his life. Life with its tremendous activities. its awful anxieties, its wearing strains, its rare triumphs, its opportunities for achievement, for service; hope with its iiluminations, its encourage- ments, its expectations, ambition with its stimulus, its force, its power; and greatest of all, love, itself alone- all three were latent in him. In touch with a woman these had gone. Some- thing as powerful and as human must bring them back. Having disburdened his faithful ani- mals of their packs and having seen them safely bestowed for the winter in the corral he had built near the base of the clii! upon.which his rude home was situated, he took his rifle one morning for one of those lonely walks across the mountains from which he drew such comfort because he fancied the absence of man con- duced to the nearness of God. It was a delusion as old nearly as the Chris- tian religion. Many had made them- selves hermits in the past in remorse for sin and for love toward God; this man had buried himself in the wilder- ness in part for the first of these causes, in other part for the love of woman. In the days of swift and sud- den change he had been constant to a remembrance, and abiding in his de- termination for five swift moving years. The world for him had stopped its progress in one brief moment five years backâ€"the rest was silence. What had happened since then out yonder where people were mated he did not know and he did not greatly care. In his visits to the settlements he asked no questions, he bought no pa- pers, he manifested no interest in the world; some things in him had died in one fell moment, and there had been, as yet, no resurrection. Yet life, hOpe, and ambition do not die, they are indeed eternal. Resurgam! cynicafiy, scornfully, yet rarely 'dld he ever give way to such emotions.

There 1:13 the bear and a little distance awn‘ Drone on the grass, clothed but Wht‘lh er in her right mind or not he could not tell, lay the woman. For a moment as be bent a concentrated, eager gaze upon her he thought she might have fainted or that she might have died. In any event he reflected that she had strength and nerve and will to have dressed herself before either of these things happened. She lay motionless under his gaze for so long that he finally made up his mind that com- mon humanity required him to go to her assistance. teen. There were a few of thoio them i s.e:‘s still left in the range; he him-5 self had killed several. ’ The woman had not. seen him. He was a ti eat man by long habit, ac- customed to saying nothing, he said nothing now. But instantly aiming from the hip with a wondrous skill and a perfect mastery of the weapon, and indeed it was a short range for so huge a target, he pumped bullet after bullet from his Winchester into the evil monarch of the mountains. The first shot did for him, but mak- ing assurance double and treble sure, He Caught a Glimpse of Her White. Desperate Face. he fired again and again. Satisfied at last that the hear was dead, and ob- serving that he had fallen upon the 'clothes of the hather, he turned, de- scended the stream for a few yards until he came to a place where it was easily fordable, stepped through it without a‘ glance toward the woman shivering in the water, whose sensa- tion so far as a mere man could, he thoroughly understood and appreciat- He cursed himself for his weakness. He shut his eyes and summoned other memories. How long he stood there he could not have told. He was tight- ing a battle and it seemed to him at last that he triumphed. Presently tlze consciousness came to him that pvt" haps he had no right to stand there idle; it may be that the woman need- ed him; perhaps she had faint‘d in the water; perhapsâ€" â€". He turned to- ward the bend which concealed him from her and. then he stopped. Had he any right to intrude upon her privacy? He must of necessity he an unwelcome visitor to her; he had sur- prised her at a frightful disadvantage, he knew instinctively, although the fault was none of his, although he had saved her life thereby, that she would hold him and him alone re. sponsible for the outrage to her mod- esty, and although he had seen little at first glance and had resolutely kept his eyes away, the mere conscious ness of her absolute helplessness an pealed to himâ€"to what was best and noblest in him, too. He must go to her; yet stay, she might not yet be clothed, in which eventâ€". But no. she must be dressed, or dead, by this time, and in either case he would have a duty to discharge. Thereafter, being a man, he did not faint or fall, but completely unnerved he leaned against the canon wall, dropped his gun at his feet and stood there trembling mightily, sweat be- dewing his forehead, and the sweat had not come from his exertions. In one moment the whole even tenor of his life was changed. The one glimpse he had got of those white shoulders, that pallid face, that golden head raised from the water, had swept him back five years. He. had seen ,once more in the solitude a wontan. It devolved upon him to make sure of her safety; he was in a certain sense responsible for it, until she got back to her friends, wherever they might be; but be persuaded himse‘i that otherwise he did not want to sec her again, that he did not wish to know anything about her future; that he did not care whether it was well or ill with her; and it was only stern obligation which drove him toward herâ€"oh, fond and foolish man! to-.hlm. He was prepared to with draw instantly should circumstances warrant, and he was careful so to con ceal himself as to give no possible 0:). portunity for her to discover his scrutiny. ed, and whose modesty he fain would spare, having not forgotten to be a. gentleman in five years of his own so- cietyâ€"high test of quality, that. He climbed out upon the bank, up- rooted a small tree, rolled the bear clear of the heap of woman's clothing and marched straight ahead of him up the canon and around the bend. He compromised with himself 2* last by climbing the ridge that hm shut of a View of the pool, and Inn“ lng down at the place so memorahk Other women he had seen at a dis- tance and avoided in his yearly visits to the settlements. Of course, these had passed him by remotely, but here he was brought in touch intimately with humanity. He who had taken life had saved it. A woman had sent him forth; was a woman to call him back? He rose to his feet on the instant and saw the woman also lift herself from the grass as if moved by a simi. lar impulse. In his intense preoccu- ' pation he had forgot to observe the signs of the times. A sense of the ove. cast sky came to him suddenly as it did to her, but with a difference. ' He knew what was about to happen, i i I l his experience told him much more as to the awful potentialities of the tempest than she could possibly imag- ine. She must be warned at once, she must leave the canon and get up on the higher ground without, delay. His duty was plain and yet he did it not. He Could not. The pressure upon him was not yet strong enough. A half dozen times as he watched her deliberately sitting there eating. he opened his mouth to cry to her, yet he could not bring himself to it. A strange timidity oppressed him; halted him, held him back. A man cannot stay away five years from men and women and he himself with them in the twinkling of an eye. And when to that instinctive and acquired reluc- tance against which he struggled in vain, he added the assurance that whatever his message he would be unwelcome on account of what had gone before; he could not force him- self to go to her or even to call to her, not yet. He would keep her un- der surveillance, however, and if the worst came he could intervene in time to rescue her. He counted without his cost, his usual judgment bewil- dered. So he followed her through the trees and down the bank. It wu Dr. §.V.*l;|l:rc:, . . O . m h "on“. . . chief consulting thicinn to the lm'nl-Tds lime? and Ir‘lcal In.tItUte 0‘ Bufl'nlo, N.
