Sometimes it was a wild goose or duck?sometimes a rabbit who was reckless enough to expose himself in the open. Mr. Ascott was twenty-live years oil and something of a philosopher. He didn't expert much in this world, and be expected nothing whatever of Duck bay. He had been told about it, and x!l he counted on was wading around through the marshes and getting soixe scenery that could not be found tn town. He had never been in love, arid he expected nothing of the kind from this trip. There must be women around Duck bay. but of course tboy would be widows and wives. If tbore happened to be girls they would lie cross-eyed and freckled faced and engaged to farmers' hired men. The matter of romance "didn't trouble Mr. Ascott in the least. If he got a duck be would have It roasted in the inn; if he didn't he would eat the landlord's veal cutlets. He naa oeou In (bis state of mind for three daps, and hadn't even seen a duck, when he thought to go further aflcld. The Innkeeper recommended a spot two miles away where wild fowl sometimes disported themselves, and the hunter set out for it. Duck bay was a mile and a half from the railroad, and the hunter was therefore surprised to stumble upon an Iron track in the contrary direction. Yes. there were the road-bed and the ties and rails, and he spent a long Qve minutes wondering where the line went to. and why he had not heard trains in that direction. The puxzle had not yet been solved when he took to the tracks and, after a walk of 200 feet came to a switch and a track leading into the bushes. Mr. Ascott was no railroad man. He bad never cared a copper about roadbeds and ties and rails. He had always traveled In a Pullman, tipped the porter and let it go at that. Now, all ~aUI? fnllenaA Koth afPrl Ul M euuuru, ium lamvau him and held his attention. ' Wag it r ^rj.

He had on long-legged rubber boots, and of course the way to get himself free was to pull his foot out of the boot. It seemed easy, but at the end of ten minutes the victim real ized that it couldn't be done. He pulled and twisted and strained and swore but he was fast?fast in a frog, and ? train might be due any minute!

Most men prefer to drink standing but when it comes to thinking tbej would rather sit down". Mr. Ascot! had to stand. Moreover, he had to be very careful about his poise. If he top pled over it would mean a broken leg and even then the foot would not be free. For three long hours he stoo? j up like a telegraph pole. Every min ute he expected to hear the rumble o an approaching train. Time aftei time, he figured out how the engine would hit him, and JuBt how his man gled remains would look as tbey were scattered along the track. He fel that he was a mile or more from an] highway, and therefore it was hour/ before he began to shout.

And the young lady giggled and gurgled and Anally laughed merrily and said: "Why this Is an old track leading to a stone quarry, and has not been used for seven years!

Just let me And a stouv stick." She wasn't a married woman and she wasn't a freckled-faced girl engaged to some farmer's hired man. On the contrary, she was about twenty years old, handsome, and It was easy - a - to see that she was a visitor to mo country. A queer feeling passed over the duck-hunter. He tried to lay It to the pain In his foot, but he realized that he was deceiving himself. The girl came back with a stout stick to be used as a pry, and Mr. Ascott started to direct operations. "I know all about It." she Interrupted. "I put the pry In behind your heel and bear down. You put your hand on ray shoulder to keep your balance. I got my aunt Martha down out of an apple tree the other day after she bad fainted away, and I guess I can manage this case. If I had stepped into a frog and been caught fast you would have talked half an hour about my carelessness. Now I'm going to pry." Mr. Ascott groaned with the pain as the foot was forced out, and the girl helped him to sit down and then ran away to be back at the end of five minutes with a flask in her hand. "It's brandy," she explained. "I always carry it for fear I'll run over a cow and get faint. Take a few swallows and then I guess I can get you to the auto." "But I don't want to trouble you to take me to the inn." "You are not going there, but home with me. That is, you are going to my Aunt Martha's. I'm up from town to visit her, you know. I am Mist Gertie Phillips, and I didn't catch your uame as Jones, did I? Oh, Mr. Ascott, eh? Aunt Martha will be tickled. She was an Ascott before she was married.

Consumption Chocked and In Early 8tages, Curad by MILAM the great Reconstructive tonic and blood renovater We do not set forth MILAM as a car* ; for consumption, but it has proven so beneficial to such patients that we believe, and are supported in our belief by a practicing physician, that MILAM will arrest incipient tuberculosis or consumption in its early stages. We know that it greatly benefits even those in the advanced stages. Read the foBlowtng Scrofulftic Consumption City of Danville, State of Virginia?To-wit: I, Edmund B. Meade, Notary Public in and for the City of Danville, State of Vir, ginia, do hereby certify that Abram Word, of Danville, Va., to me well known, did appear before me, and being duly sworn, deposeth and says as follows: "For ten vears prior to August, 1909, I was under the care of a regular physician. Last spring this doctor told me he could do me no good, and I tried another for four months without receiving any benefit from j him. In August, 1909, I began taklYig Milam, and am now able to do my work wi'hout i difficulty, my appetite is good, and I can eat and digest any food. My trouble was said to be Scrofulitic Consumption, and I was wasted away to a shadow. I was so weak that I could hardly walk when I commenced on MILAM. I regard MILAM as a truly valuable remedy in all cases of blood trouble, whether eruptive, or proceeding from a lack of full, free circulation. I have recommended MILAM to about twenty of my friends, and so far as I have ; seen or heard from them, they all speak in ; the highest terms of it, and are recommending it to their friends. it was particularly beneficial tome in aiding digestion and building up an appetite."

The Struggles and Successes of Lore Strathcona, Famous the World Over as Pioneer and Empire Builder. Ottawa, Canada.?In the closing days o(ythe rebellion of '38. when affairs were in a turmoil, thfre landed on the shores of Canada a poor, friendless Scotch laddie, alone and new In a new land. He was tall and spare, but the square of his jaw told of Scotch courage and the man-light gleamed from his determined eyes. He was not more than 18, but be was big and inherited the brawn of a fine ancestry of 8cots. This humble, friendless lad was Donald Smith, the man of whose brains, energy and sacrifices Canada owes much for her present prosperity. In the early days, when Smith? now Lord 8trathcona?began his life in the employ of the Hudson Bay comranr the Canadian north was a coun trr of the terrible. For thirty years, isolated oo the ice-bound coast of Labrador, he labored in the hardest service on the continent, that of the Hudson Bay company. In his stripling days, as a trader, he tramped the uigbty, silent north from end to nd, planning, bartering and bargaining with the grim and stoic natives of the wild. From the time that Smith, a sturdy "highland laddie," left Montreal for bis labors in the north his life was one of hardship, suffering and sncrlflce. The lessons in the school of suffering which awaited this lonely but courageous boy were hard ones, but Donald Smith learned them all. When he was 29 years old n romance of the heart came to lighten his years of banishment. A girl of the wild, fair as a rainbow on the snow, crossed his path and from then the bleakness of his life began to lose its austerity. J She was the daughter of a trader and an Indian woman and be married her. _ * Throughout his 30 years in the northland Smith gave his leisure to reading and studying- He became a thinker and a reasoner and in his work he learned to ubc his power of brain. From this point his advance was gradual but sure and in 18CS, when be was 48 years old. be was appointed governor of the company with head offices at Montreal. He was well equipped for his mighty duties. He j had learned the lessons of generalship J and in the years that followed he proved himself a commander of forces, primal and artificial. Many times during his governorship crises arose that put his powers to test. The activities of Donald A. Smith outside the Hudson Bay company brought him into the politics of Canada. His political creed was a disregard for party interests and, while at the outset he was n staunch supporter of Macdonald. the Conservative premier, later on. because of the severe criticism and accusations laid against the party and because he was ! rnnvlnpAd that the Dartv was not conducting Itself strictly along square lines he withdrew nls support and brought pbout the first defeat of Macdonald. Donald A. Smith, silent, reserved but powerful, was one of the greatest legislators that ever had a seat In the Canadian house of commons. His career as a lawmaker was one of honesty and genius. In 1896 Lord Strathcona received the culminating honor of his great career. He was made the first holder of the newly-created office of high commissioner for Canada In London Four years later he received world fame through his gift of the Strathcona horse, a body of 28 mounted offl cers and 512 men, enrolled from all over the Canadian west, for service in the Boer war. In private life this great man Is a considerate husband and father and a most engaging host. One of the greatest tributes he ever received was from the father and mother ol King George V.. the late King Edward and Queen Alexandra. They alwayi called hlra "Uncle Donald." At the advanced age of nlnety-on? he Is still a marvelous man. His talk | Is bright and he Is equally at home Ir 1 American, Canadian or English poll ' 1 tics. Finds Skeleton In Bushes.
