BEAN Big 4 Mount Forest Business College He Sells Cheap ADDRESSING OF M AIL. YOUR BOY BIG4 The Harnessm eke tes of the Evening had fallen before we ultio mately arrived at Kalmacks. We ap- proached the house with care and en- tered by a window at the back. as Joe thought it possible the front en- trances might be commanded from the wood on that side. We went at once to the room where Worke was lying and Joe gave him a rapid description of the man he had shot. ‘That’s Tomlinson.” said Worke at once. “Them two brothers lives to- gether. What have they been_doing_'_£” “You'll know afore night." replied Joe. “What are their names?” “Dandy is the one with the black beard, while him they calls Muppy is a foxy colored man." “Thank you.” said Joe. “Now, Bill. if you keep them names to yourself I’ll come back in half an hour and tell you who it. was shot you.” On Joe’s appearance'Linda started up and ran to him. “You’re wounded!" she cried. “It’s nothin’ much, Miss Linda.” But as we laid him doWn on the couch he seemed to lose consciousness. Petersham brought brandy, and Linda, holding Joe’s head upon her arm, put it to his lips. He swallowed some or it and then insisted upon sitting up. "I must bind up your shoulder. We must stop the bleeding.” Linda’s dis- tress and anxiety were very evident. And Joe had to give way. With her capable and gentle hands Linda soon dressed the wound and afterward in- sisted on sending for Puttick to help him to his hunk. “So you’ve got it?” Puttick said. “I warned you. Lucky you’re not dead.” “Yes, ain’t it?” returned Joe. Well I knew that soft drawl, which November’s voice never took except in moments of fiercest tension. “You’d best join your hands above your head. Ben Puttick. Lock the thumbs, That’s right!” Joe had picked my revolver from the table and held it pointed at Puttick’s breast. “He’s mad!” screamed Puttick. “Tie his hands, Mr. Quaritch. Miss Linda, will you please to go away?” “No, Joe. Do you think I’m fright- ened?” “Huh! I know you’re brave, but a man acts freer without the women looking on." Without a word she turned and walk- ed out of the room. “Puttick’s going to confess, Mr. Pe- tersham," went on November. “I’ve nothing to confess, you fool !" “Not even that story you invented about the man with the red banker across his faceâ€"the man who wasn’t never there?” “Have You forgot them long haired Tomlinson brothers that”â€" The effect of this speech on Puttick was instantaneous. Evidently he leap. ed to the conclusion that he had been betrayed. for he turned and dashed i for the door. We flung ourselves upon . him and by sheer weight bore him to the ground. where we quickly OVOtpOW- ! ered him, snarling and writhing Some hom‘l later we set round No- vember Joe who wan stretched upon 1 the couch.

I knew at once his story was a lie. and that he’d got an interest in scaring M r.

And that no one came at all?" “I’m pretty sure of it. There wasn’t a Sign or a track and as to the fella’s jumpin’ from stone to stone. there’s distances of fourteen and sixteen feet between. Still he might 'a‘ done it. or he might ’a’ walked in the water, and I were not going to speak till I were sure.” “Go on. We’re still in the dark.

Was there any particu« lar reason why you chose to go to Sen- lis lake?” was natural enough. for Puttlck was gettin' rattled at me always nosin’ around.” ' we know everything except who it 1n- ahot 8111 Works." “1 null Happy Tomlinnon’l tho “It‘s all very clear.

What I’m really angry with you for is your mak- ing me promise not to go out yesterday and then deliberately going out your- self to draw their fire. Why did you do it? If you had been killed I should never have got over it. ’ “What do you mean. Joe?" said Lin- da softly. “I mean that it one of the party I were with got killed in the woods while I was their guide I’d go right into Quebec and run a boarding house or become a politician. That’s all I’d be good for!" fi3‘And wha't ’ud 1 have done it you’d been killed. Miss Linda ‘2” ‘ CHAPTER XVII. The City or the Woods? LTHOUGH Dandy Tomlinson’s bullet had passed through Joe’s shoulder, it had left a very ugly wound. but the young woods- man’s clean and healthy life stood him in good stead. and the process of heal- ing went on rapidly. We had fetched a doctor from Prlam- ville, who left a string of instructions, which Linda carried out as closely as she could. Indeed, she would have de- voted most of her time to Joe, but he managed to make her spend a good part of each day out of doors. Some- times he would beg for a fish for his supper and she must catch it herself to prove how well she had profited by his teaching. There were half a hun- dred things he suggested, not one of which was obvious or trifling. until I marveled at his ingenuity. “No, Mr. Quaritch, the hours slip past quick enough. I’ve never had a lie-by and awhile for thinking since I been a man. There’s a good few puz- zles to life that wants facing one time or another, I s’pose.” “You are finding the time long, J 0e?" 1 said on one occasion. “Which puzzle is it that you are rac- ing now ‘2" “Mr. Petersham wants to be the make mg of me." ‘ ‘7Theu you're about the luckiest young man in this hemisphere.” “Just so. and I feel his kindness is more’n I deserve. He’d make me head warden here for a bit first and then send some kind of a professor to teach me how to talk and fix me up general- ly." He paused. “Well. that sounds very reasonable." I commented. “And after they’d scraped some or the moss 01f me he’d put me into his office.” I hid the astonishment I felt at this announcement. “After that it’d be up to me to make good. He'd help all he knew.” “It sounds a very brilliant future for you. November.” - Joe was silent for a moment. “It does. Mr. Quaritch." he said at length in a different tone. “And it gives me something to think about. So they caught Muppy all right? Him and Put- tiek ’11 find prison a poor place after the woods." “I can feel for them.” said I, “for I am leaving the woods tomorrow my- self. 1 must get back to Quebec.” “Huh, yes! There‘s no call for you to stay longer.” “As‘to that. you’ll be here for quite awhile yourself." He made no reply, and when I turn- ed from the. window to 1001; at him he was lying with his eyes closed. and. thinking he was tired. I left him. At the end of the south veranda was situated a small detached room which we had turned into a workshop. and early the same afternoon 1 went around there to repair a favorite fish- ing rod. The veranda was empty as I passed through it, but presently Peter- sham joined me. “That fellow November Joe is an in- fernal fool!” he said presently. “He is a dolt without an ounce of ambi- tion!” “In his own sphere”-â€" I began. “He is all very well in his own sphere, but he should try to rise above it.” “He has done uncommonly well for himself so far,” I said. “He has made good use of his brains and his experi- ence. In his own way he is very, very capable.” “That is true enough. but he has got about as far as he can go without help. As you say, he has done all this for himself. Now, I am ready to do a good deal more for him. I’ll back him in any line of business he chooses to follow. I owe him that and more. Heaven knows what might have hap- pened to Linda but for him.” “You owe a good deal to November.” “I am well aware of it,” replied Pe~ tersham. “I am convinced I owe him Linda’s life.” Something in his tone showed me his further meaning. I dropped my fish- ing rod and stared at him. I knew Linda had enormous influence over her father, but this was beyond imagina- tion. “You’d never allow it!” I exclaimed. “Why not?” he retorted angrily- “Isn’t Joe better than the Hipper dude? Or Phil Bitsheim or than that Italian count with his pedigree from Noah in his pocket? Tell me. where is she going to find a man like Joe! Why. he’s got it in him to do things- big thingsâ€"and I hope I’m good enough retmblican not to see the injustice of nailing a fellow down to the spot where he was born." “But November would "never dare look no high! He’s modest.” “He'll get over that!” “I doubt it.” I said. “Besides. you do you know 'that tho”â€" COntinned on page 7. .me of 1t0 his at this be up all he are for ow?v¢r¢99991fi999999999999 9 'fi 0 99'99099999009909999999999 of 9906600900906000999000060 06000000909096060069006000 Many peOple witha gift for looking ahead foresaw the present : European war.
