Then once more ithe grim danger of dallying crept ', over him, and, turning, he started for Ate door. Half-wa across the room I the outlaw halite; uneasily. The ‘awakened child, suddenly oppressed i with hunger and loneliness, had start- i.tf. to cry. For a moment the man l stood still, a dull flush creeping over ‘his rugged cheeks; then once more l he was gripped by the haunting fear ;of pursuit. Pressing to the door he , lifted the latch. 7 7 l Gathering the woman's body in his arms, the outlaw carried it out into ( the wood shed and laid it upon a pile _ of firewood. Gently he threw a blan- 'ket over the "iffening form. He {quickly had a fire built, the kettle isinging, and the room oppressively 'hot. The child cried again. With a 'start the man half rose from his lrhair beside the Move, then he sat Idown again. A terrifying thought ; held him. The child had to be fed! He islowly crossed the room to the cup- lboard, and a minute later emitted a 'whoop of joy. There was condensed 'milk--aix cans. - - All day the outlaw had snowshoed rapidly. Across endless mil“ of flat dreary muskeg he had come; then, as the memon waned, he had struck into a higher district of sparse, tree- covered rolling uplands. Suddenly a Mg shanty came into view, an unexpected habitation, and the tirst he had encountered since be- gigning hiffitrht. _ _ ._ _ Le Pas Mission and the looted pay car of the C. and N. Railway now lay in good two hundred miles behind him. Still, it was no part af Jennings’s plan to be seen by anyone who might later give his description to possible pur- suers. But the provisions in the little roll upon his back were almost done, and the Riding Mountains, within whose fastnesses lay safety, were still a good hundred miles away. It was this last fact that decided him. Re- suming his stride he tspproaehed the house, removed his snowshoes, and then knocked loudly on the door. There was no answer, so he pulled the latch and entered. For a moment the room seemed without occupants. Then his eyes fell upon the prone form of a woman 1y- ing loco downward begide .the ttov.t. Crossing the room, Jennings knelt beside the body. "Looks like heart failure," he said, aloud. The ever- gress‘ing fear of pursuit and capture envy upon him, he ransacked the shelves of the upright, box-like cup- board on the wall just beyond where the woman lay. Satisfied with the provisions procured, he placed them in his blanket roll, and was starting for the door when a rough cradle at the end of the room came within his line of vision for the first time. The child cried louder, more plain- tively. The hand upon the latch wav- ered, then dropped and the outlay re- traced his steps and once more started down at the diminutive figure. The little face, strangely wrinkled with grief, smoothed out. Its mouth open- ed in a gasping gurgle of joy, and two fat little hands reached up toward the face staring so queerly, above it. Abruptly the man turned away, a feeling utterly alien to his rough nature clutching at his heart. He de- eided to stay a little while, for doubt- less, he told himself, the father would soon return and take over the care of the child. _ A Punching two holes in one of the; tins, and setting the van in boiling, water to warm, the man sat down to; wait. When it was ready he crossed; the room, lifted the child with clumsyl hands, and seated himself again withl the baby on his knee. One hand tight-l ly, grasping the clothes at ibs back, hel lifted the can to its ligs. In a swift-1 flowirrg stream the milk sported out,‘ filling the child's mouth, running down over its chin and on to the, clothes beneath. In dismay Jennings; tipped back the can, and the child,! after sseveral moments of oputtering,l choking, and swallowing. recovered; its breath and began to cry. _ l With rough tenderness the big man) danced it up and down till its " died away. Again came that gurgling! chortle of pleasure. Carrying the baby beneath his arm much as one? would hold a sack of flour, Jennings, went to the cupboard and procured ai spoon. Then he proceeded to feed hial charge in, a new way. Very laborious; work it wan, but at last the child! seemed tmtissfied. With the baby in, his arms, the man sat staring into! the fire. - - _ _ f Though Jennings did not know it, it was a remarlaahty good baby, and now that its hunger was appeased it lay close cuddled in his awkwardly held arms, staring a? into his hard, lined face with big. b ue-eyed absorp- tion. By and by Jennings ltarted to trintr---the only song he knew, a single line of a coarse dance-hall bakladr-- After a little while the infant fell asleep. Noting this, the man ceased his song and sat motionless. staring whimsically into the fire. This warm little mite cuddling trustingly so close to him brought new thoughts. A lone- ly homer crept into his heart--a hunger for things whid: before he had never wanted. And somehow, with the coming a} these thoughts. the,pae, "Georgie and Frankie were lovers true."

He lay gazing down upon the soft, dimpled face beside him, and an un- familiar moisture crept into his eyes, dimming his night. Turning away, he buried his face in the pillow and lay for_p long time very still; , ' , The simmering sigh of the kettle filled the room with a dreamy, home- like sound, and presently, lulled by twinning: musie,.the pan fell asleep. When he awoke the mom was sharply cold; but the quick spruce fire he kindled soon warmed it, and Jennings fed hits charge. Afterwards the baby was strangely fretful, though he rocked it vigorously. A troubled, anxious look crept into the man's eyes. Fear that something serious might be wrong filled him. "Wonder if there are some instruc- ttions on babies lying around this shgok ?” he gnarled aloud._ . . Pleased with the idea, he laid the child down and began the search. In a box in the cupboard he presently discovered a tattered medical book and the half of an ancient magazine. Vainly he searched the pages of the medical book. There was nothing there to relieve his mind. Without hope he turned to the magazine. "Mother's Magazine," he read aloud. The index was gone, so page by page he turned it over. A heading caught his eye when the last of it was nearly reaehed---"The Baby's Bath." Eagerly he read. Laying down the magazine with a sigh of relief, he addressed the child in whimsical, self-deprecat- ing tone. "I reckon that's what you been wantln', youngster." . Jennings filled the kettle. While waiting for the water to warm he ti,"/if, up the magazine. The things e read there were for the most part unenlightening, untutored as he was to the ways of child care. One sen- tence did command his attention in a short article: "Be sure and keep the ttt warm and dry, and change its clot es oftend' The article was head- ed "Adviee to Young Mothers." Jennings read the words aloud, and on looking around the room he noticed with understanding eyes a collection of articles which hung on a line at the back of the stove. "Poor little beggar!” he said, contritely. "I sure am a young mother. Here I been lookin' after u for about fifteen hours, an' might) have killed you just bein'_ so iyory-headed." . i For the past three days the weather Hind been clear-mo fresh snow had :fnllen.

Then, with the child stretched upon his knee, he commenced with clumsy-lingered awk- wardness its undressing, striving as he did so to remember the particular po_s_i_t_ion of the various safety-Pins.

His strangely gnarled heart, hard- ened by years of hard life, was still a great heart. Within its depths the payntal tnstinet. had 1isossopt.,et,i forth. Presently, when the child grew weary of playing, Jennings placed it in the cradle. After rockin it to sleep again he sat down before the stove and remained thinking deeply.

On the table the scattered money, the child's deserted Playthings, still lay scattered over the surface in company with the empty revolver. For perhaps ten seconds the officer stared at his quarry. "Surely," he thought, "the man's gone mad.'" Once more crouching down, O'Connor crept to the door. l He grasped the latch-string, swung open the door, anl sprang into the room, covering the outlaw with his revolver as he did so.

The French Government is looking into the pensions paid to the do-‘cend- ants of heroes ot many centuries ago with a view of cutting down expendi- tures. The valor ot a foretather of the D’Assas family, the Captain of the Auvergne regiment who sacrificed " life on the eve ot the battle of Kios- terkamp in 1760 to prevent surprise ot the French army is still recognized and a pension paid to the descendants. Seventy-eight pensions dating trom the First Empire are being paid to this day to descendants of Austoriltx and Friedland heroes. More than 9,000 pensions are received by the vic- tims ot the Coup d'Etat of December " .. ........._ _.. -e"e "Hushl" 11; mix, very low and warn- ingly. "You'll wake the baby."

The pen- sion to Montcalm's descendants also became extinct only recently. Up to the present only the extinc- tion ot the line of descent saved the Government from continuing to my pensions. The necessity of reducing expenditures may compel the present Government to revise or abolish en- tirely the pensions dating from old wars. Land isn't all that's necessary to make crops; brains help.
