His Cry
*
? . By CLAW
Gordon Ascott had come ap to Duck
bay from the city for the shooting.
The shooting consisted of whatever
could be shot. 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

Btepped into the 'rog of the switch
with his right foot. His weight forced
the foot down, and was caught in a
vice. 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! The
engineer might see him in time t<
stop the train, but would he stop H
if he did see him? Wouldn't he come
right along and run over the captive
for the moral effect it would have 01
other tramps?
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. He hat
yelled a score o;! times when a younj
lady descended to the track from t
path not far distant, and after survey
tug him for a moment approached tc
ask:
"Was it you calling for help?"

"And why did you call?"
"I am caught by the foot, as you
see."
"Oh, yes. You are standing up so
straight I thought you might be posing
for a moving picture show. How long
have you been here?"
"Por hours, miss, and I expected a
train along any minute."
"A train? A train?" 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! But your position In
uncomfortable, and I must get you
loose. I was passing on the highway
right out here when I heard your calls.
Your foot must be pried out,"
"And .you will go for help?"
"Oh, no. 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.
Perhaps you are cousirs or
something."
"But you see?"
"No, I don't. We are two poor, lorn
women, and haven't seen anybody but
I d tin ruddier for a week. We shall
dote on a cripple in the house. You
6hail have chicken broth the very first
thing."
Mr. Ascott was assisted to the auto,
and a fi-w minutes later Miss Gertie
was explaining to her aunt:
"Heard him yelling for help. Stopped
the auto. Found him caught by the
foot in the railroad track. Pried him
loose. He's going to be our Invalid.
Say, auntie, the country is the place
for romance, after all."
"But where's the romance, dear?"
"What! You can't see It! I hear a
man yell. I save his life. I bring him
here. He's nice. So am I. You'll be
motherly to him, and I'll fill his pipe
and read to him and tell him stories,
and it won't be two weeks before?
before?"
"Gertie Phillips!"
"But when a nice girl saves-a nlct
young man's life?"
Can a man whose life his been
saved by a young lady?who has eaten
of her chicken broth?who has figured

Consumption

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.

"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 Means Health
For the Child
The careful mother, who watcbee closey
the physical peculiarities of her chllIren,
will soon discover that the most
mportant thing In connection with a
rhlld's constant good health Is to keep
:he bowels regularly open. Sluggish
bowels will be followed by loss of appe:lte,
restlessness during sleep, Irritability
and a dozen and one similar evllencea
of physical disorder.
At the first sign of such disorder give
he child a teaapoonfut of Dr. Caldwell's
iyrup Pepsin at night on retiring and
repeat the dose the following night If
necessary?more than that will scarcely
be needed. Tou will find that the child
nil recover its accustomed good spirits

Marvelous Career of a Poor
Scotch Laddie.
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

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.

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."
