From a couple of dead saplings, with the aid of wild grape-vines, he fashioned a light raft which would serve as a sup- port in the bog, and carry his weight in the putrid mire beyond. Strange sounds came to his ears as he worked his way act-cos the desolate waste to- ward the first great pond-scurrying, rustling sound; of hidden things aroused from their security. Once a big grey snake stirred from term to lift its head and hiss at him. Billy lifted it aside with his pole and went "new: "lily“ uni-cu nun WEI-Gnu“, torn his flesh with its raaor-atdged grass and sucked at his feet with its oozy, dragging quicksands. He had turned back in time. For two weekl following his exploit he had lain ill with ague, shivering miserably, silent, but thinking. For Eng, who knew and understood so well e sweeping wilderness of silence and mysteries, this awe held a dread which, try as he nigh he could not analyze. On one other oc- casion had he atriven to penetrate it, but as if the bog-land recognized in him a force not easily set aside, it had f",'7hr,.T",',f, him with its ftet mists_whi§ ,hilltst) and weaken ' Lost Man's Swamp, so called be- ecu-so it was said that one straying into its depth never was able to ex. trioate himself from its overpowering mists and treacherous quieksanda, was lonely and forsaken. It lay like a festering core on the breast of the world-black, menacing, hungry to gulp, dumb as to those mysteries and tragedies it had witnessed. It 'pf whispered that the devil made his) home in its pitehy ponds, which eveni in the fiereest cold of winter did not] freeze. 'and with the accuracy born of 1optt 'practice in throwing stones, had sent 'it crashing into Serottttie's face. Gasp- " ing and temporarily blinded, Scrogg-ie ,had wheeled his horse and galloped away. Some three miles east of the im- aginary line which divided the Set- tlement from the outside world, on the Lake Shore road, stood a big frame house in a grove of tall walnut trees. It was the home of a man nam- ed Hinter-t man of mystery. Before it the lake flashed blue as a Kingfish- er's wing through the cedars; behind it swept n tangle of forest which gradually dwarfed into a stretch of swamp-willow and wild hazelnut bush.. es. which in turn awe place to marshy boiruands. "Ol' Rabbit-foot chm," he tsaid, aloud. “I jest might need you bad to-day." Then he turned and walked quickly across the fallow toward the cagseway._ U - - 7 Billy's right hand went into a trou- ser's pocket; then nervously his left dived into the other pocket. With a sigh of relief he drew out a furry ob- Jettytboyt.th.? gin of a pektst-knitt. But to-day Billy, musing darkly, knew that 'Scroggie would do what lie had said he would do. The big woods was his, according to law; he could do as he wished with it, and he would wigg it out. - Hidden safely behind n clump of cedar: Billy had watched and listened. He had heard Scroggie tell the Mm- keeper that he and his family had come to Scot}: to stay and that he intended to cut down the timber of the bi woods. He had then demanded that gpencer turn over to him a cer- tain document which it seemed old man Scmggie had left in Caleb’s charge some months before his death. Billy had seen Spencer draw the man a little apart from the others, who had gathered close through curiosity, and ad heard him explain that the paper had been taken from his safe on the night of the robbery of his store. Scroggie had, at first, seemed to doubt Caleb's word; then he had grown abusive and raised his tpta',',,?,,? threateningly. Here Billy, wing heard and seen quite enough, had acted. Placing his hashet gently down acted. Placing his basket gently down on _thCsyratd he had picked up guys: taken the lat available we on the customers’ bench outside, and Caleb Spencer had come to the door to peer through the twilight in search of the Clearview stage, which wag late.

The glare ot the sun shining on the snow causes a pricking But there was no mistake. Cows on the Russian steppes have long worn spectacles to protect their eyes from the glare of the snow, which stretches tor hundreds ot miles on all sides till late spring, and sets up a serious at. fection that mar result in total blind. ness. - Surely this must be a joke, said the business men, or someone must have blundered in writing the word cows, tor spectacles could certainly not be needed tor animals.

A good deal of surpriae was created when a long list of goods required by Russia was found to contain an order for spectacles for cows, says an Eng- lish newspaper. “Then why don't you iret rid of rem?" (To be continued.) He smiled now as he noted Billy's quick look of apprehension. "No, Billy," he assured the boy, “Sphinx and Dexter aren't with me to-day, so you have nothing to fear from them. I doubt if they would hurt you, anyway," he added, "You “wand” mam. dost: I am tow _-__ "Prn not afraid of no dog, Mr. Hin- ter," said Billy, "but. I've been told your dogs are half wolf.

His face was grave and his blue eyes steady. He we fond of hunting and usually wore-as he was wearing to. 'tT-t suit of corduroys. He kept a {an of ferocious dogs, why nobody new, for they never accompanied him on his hunts. Hinter possessed a well modulated voice whose accent bespoke refinement and education. He had come into the Settlement about a year ago from no one knew where, apparently med of tmffieient money to do as he pleas- ed. An aged colored woman kept house for him. He held aloof from his neighbors, was reticent in manner, but nothing could be said against him. He led an exemplary if somewhat se- eluded life, gave freely to the church which he never attended, and was re- epected‘py the people of Scotig. With willows, intending to take the shortest way home through the hardwoods. On top of the beech knoll he paused for a moment to let his eyes rest on the big house in the walnut grove. In some vague way his mind connected its owner with that dead waste of stinking marsh. Why, he wandered, had Hinter chosen this lonely spot on which to build his home? As he turn- ed to strike across the neck of woods between him and the causeway the man about whom he had just been thinking stepped out from a clump of want t?uts.hes.ArxttQ in hits ptith. “Why, hello, Bini,'"heGdiii SE55- antly.

On one oc- casion, when a party ot men set out trom Perry's boat without this pro. teetion, every man was struck with blindness. and no one was able to di- rect the sledge. No amount ot familiarity or usage gives Immunity, even to the people whose ancestors have lived amid the snow: for centuries. The Eskimos have long made snow spectacles in a very crude form from driftwood. This is cut to the curvature of the face: a notch serves as a bridge tor the nose. and in each ot the discs that cover the eyes, where the wood is about two inches thick. ohm-row slit, about the widttrot a thin saw cut, is made. Through the slits the light passes to the eyes sumciently dimin- ished to prevent snow blindness. and any neglect to do this may lead to serious trouble.

It seems too trivial a scrap to he ot interact. yet it is only one more variation in a long line of childish rhymes and games that are deeply interesting to the student. since the more he studies them the more he sees that in their fundamental similarity they link nap tion with nation and past with pre- sent. For children have always play- ed games; and of course some one of them has always had to be "it." In the very beginning, it is now my posed, all countintHntt rhymes were simply enumeration; and many of them are still so in part.

In is probable that with the influx ot children from many foreign countries the very games that in their likeness bring all children so happily together may take on here and there new and wider variations. which will interest and perhaps puzzle future students of folklore.

She could not go to the school exhibition, she told Tom at break- fut, because she had a pudding to make that would require four hours steaming; she could not eat lunch with Serena and her father down town be- cause there was an angel cake to be made that would require at least an hour to beat.

She could not have eaten more, everything was so good and Mrs. White was so happy sud jolly., "I had more than that for our din.. ner," said Mrs. Brown reirentfullr, "and there was no one here but your father and brothers." This with a sigh; the corners of her mouth droop- Serena looked at her thoughtfully. Mrs. Brown resented the look. Serena was not lute if she could remember. They had talked so much she had not noticed what they were eating, except that the dinner wu good. Soup? No, there wmm't any soup. Potatoes? Yes, scalloped. Der sert?

Then followed the silence that marks the knowledge of a futllity of argument and the father and the children etc a perfectly cooked meal without comment or enjoyment. When Serena, the oldest daughter, repeated her ernploger's compliment over some acceptable work she had done that day, it was her father who gave her a. smile of encouragement. The mother remembered that she, too, had worked that day ami-sited. The next evening, Serena was a guest at the Whites, next door neigh- bom. It was warm. The open dining- room windows revealod the Whito and their five children and Serena sitting at the tuHe. Across hte par- _titiop fence came sounds of repeated laughter.
