CH>COOOOO<H>0<HKKKH>C > ;£ . lJ-4 Western Newspaper Union.) qpilLRi; wns miurcliy in the lumber A r:ii;i|i before Jim Sorenson appeared. A lumber ramp without a king is like a hive of bees without a queen. There was no attempt to dispute Big Jan's kingship. The nearest cmnp, Ki miles away, had a king, too. It was natural that he and Sorenson should meet. Dozens of pairs of socks were wagered upon the buttle, hut it lasted only a minute and a half. At the end of that time Sorenson, with half a dozen yards of footgear round his neck, the trophy of his victory, was sponging the blood from his prostrate enemy's eyes. , After that Sorenson was king as far us tlie limits of the spruce timber belt, and he reigned unchallenged. ! Far away to the south spread the rumors of Sorenson's fume. And the next south wind brought back reports of a mighty man of buttle In a southern camp 80 miles away. He was a Scotchman, and his name was Andy McTavlsh. It seemed Impossible for the two kings to meet. Once Sorenson put on his snow shoes and covered the entire distance between dawn and dusk. But It happened that McTavlsh was away 15 miles in the interior, working an engine. Sorenson left his challenge and went back. Presently the answer came. The two men were to meet In April, when the lumbering season was over, at a point half-way between the two camps. Father Flynn, who had heard of the project, tried to dissuade Sorenson. He did not mind a fight, but he objected to one attended with so much bitterness as this must he. ' The two men met at the appointed place. They fought for five and forty minutes in the center of a yelling crowd. At last both ceased from weariness. j 'Til meet you on Christmas day,"! snarled Sorenson, between his swollen Ups, and McTavlsh, who could not speak, nodded. i Sorenson did not forget. The thought that there might be another king In the lumber country was intolerable to him. The story of the Impending fight went up and down the land. I “Jan," said Father Flynn, “you are | going to fight McTavlsh on Christmas ; day. Give it np, Jan, or you will re- I gret It." 1 That time Jan Sorenson let loose a flood of hlashphemy on Father Flynn's head. All his pent-up rage broke loose, and he felt in the padre an enemy only second to McTavlsh. Father Flynn waited till he had done speaking. "Jan," he said quietly. "God doesn’t permit a man to grow too big for h!* boots. You are trusting In your strength and you are trusting In a broken reed.” The two men fought each other to n standstill once more. And Sorenson, staring stupidly from the ground at McTavlsh. also upon the ground and incapable of a movement, swore that he would meet him once more and win. The fight was fixed for April 10. All that winter Sorenson worked like a demon. His hate of McTavlsh had become a madness now. Each of the men was resolved to win or die the next time. "Sorenson,” said Father Flynn, “you have had two chances now. Give up your plan.” Sorenson turned on the padre with an oath. “If I don't best him I'll never fight again,” he said. “I’ll come to you, father, and'you can make one of your canting, sniveling hypocrites of me.” Such things, and more, Sorenson had dreamed^ £t _niKjd when he lay sleepless In his hunk. April 9 arrived, and Sorenson, accompanied by his followers, started off along the trail to the meeting place. They were the first to arrive; presently the other party came into sight. In the center was a stripling of eighteen or nineteen years. “What’s this? Where's McTavlsh?” shouled Sorenson. “Dead,” answered the young man. “What?” yelled Sorenson wildly. “Typhoid,” explained the stripling.' "It generally gets the beefy men. I’m the new king of Watson’s camp now.” “You are?" screamed Sorenson, precipitating himself upon him. That was a Homeric tight, the record of which has come down to this day. For never once did Sorenson's blows land home. He hit the air, and, in return, felt sting after sting upon his face and body. The youth's blows began to tell after a while. Before ten minutes had elapsed the big Swede was glaring at bis lithe opponent out of a bloody haze. "Come on—unless you’re beaten,” said the other calmly. Sorenson, with n bull’s bellow, rushed at his man. That gave the youth his opening. His fist caught the northern king upon the point of the jaw. Sorenson staggered and collapsed upon the snow. His last memory was of seeing a half hundred gaudy socks borne off In triumph by the men of Watson's. Late the next afternoon a br.rtcrpd. shamefaced figure staggered into the little mission church. 'Tve come, padre,” said Sor csoLj humbly.

He who buys had need have a hundred

That was quite true in his time. Whenever you needed anything, you had to go to this store—then to that store—across the street —to every place that carried the thing you needed. If you missed any one of them, you might be overlooking the very place that held the bargain you sought.

Not so to-day. Your own two eyes are plenty now. For every day this newspaper brings right into your home all the stores you would want to visit and the goods in which you are interested. Comfortably seated in your armchair, you simply take your paper and read through the advertisements.

So later, when you do go out to buy, you know exactly where you are going. You know just what you are going to get. You know just how much you are going to pay.

Read the advertisements. They deserve j'our attention. They save you time, labor a nd money. It is to your advantage to read , ^ em - - ju&a*
