CHAITER 12. the ricnx at the river. (Continuation) Iiut hark! Suddenly lrom the bushes on both sides of the trail bloodcurdling whoops broke upon the still evening air and a dozen naked savages burst into the path upon the burdened men bent on capturing them alive and putting them to "ic torture. They had chosen to :e the attack at the end of the portage because their victims would then be tired and lesson their guard. Biit startling as the onslaught was the little company was prepared for just such an emergency. The three carrying packs bore them in a manner so contrived that they could be instantly dropped and these were engaged w ith their assailants in a flash, while the fourth was temporarily protected by the canoe under which he was thrown. It was not the intention of the attacking party to use knives and they had left their guns in the brush. The first man to reach Angus went down under a swinging blow in the face, the second, at almost the same instant, was doubled up with an unexpected kick in the pit of the stomach and a third flinched from the sight of the sergeant's glittering knife; which was instantly drawn, but sprang at him and dealt him a thrust in the breast before he could draw his own knife. By this time the first savage was on his feet again, with his knife uplifted, and a ferocious duel seemed imminent when the Scotchman seized the Indian's wrist as the blow was falling and stabbed him in the side. He jumped with both feet upon the prostrate form of the man he had kicked and bounded to the assistance of Pierre, w ho was nearest to him and was still free but righting desperately with two opponents, a third lying face down in the grass. Of four Indians who were clinging to the struggling ranger two went to the assistance of their comrades against Pierre and Ansrus and a four-handed encounter lasting some minutes ensued resulting in the death of one of the assailants, a deep gash in the right arm of another, the downfall of the third with another of the sergeant's kicks and the precipitate flight of the fonrth with Pierre in hot pursuit to prevent him from getting a rifle. By this time Angus was badly winded, but Iiis Scotch blood was up and he was full of tight. Seeing that the ranger was keeping his two captors busy he ran toward the canoe, which was held down by three Indians with Totega helpless under it. They were fresh awl ha-l their knives ready but the undaunted soldier picked up the ranger's gun where it had fallen and as two of them leaped toward him. the third still holding the boat, h tired without bringing the piece to his shoulder. The discharge was at such close quarters that it burned the skin of the savage it mortally wounded and the recoil was so heavy that before he could regain himself Angus was down with a knife in his shoulder and an infuriated devil kneeling on him. The tide of battle had now turned. Pierre was gone, Totega was under the boat, the ranger was helpless in the clutches of the two men and Anetus W3S down and wounded. The Green mountain boy felt that he had been a non-combatant long enough. His arms were pinioned behind him. each in the grasp of two naked arms, and his shoulders were bent back in a painful tension. Suddenly drawing a full breath he exerted all the energy his desperate situation could lend and turned in the double grip that was upon him, facing one of the Indians and drawing the other half around so unexpectedly that they lost their steadiness upon their feet and one more terrific burst of strength hurled them from him. Before they could recover themselves he launched himself full against the Indian who - was in the act of striking Angus a second and better aimed blow and passed on like a battering-ram to the man at the canoe. The two went down together and Totega emerged from his prison to take his part in the combat. ... 1 "1 4 1 A swift glance ciiscovereu vngus lying prostrate with one Indian across him and another approaching, knife in hand. Totega with a wild yell bounded to the assistance of his benefactor and dealt two swift stabs that disabled both opponents. At the same momenta rifle cracked sharply and the savage rushing to attack the ranger fell in his tracks. Pierre had spoken; retr rning from the pursuit he had found one of the guns in the bush. The Indian struggling with the ranger released himself and ran yelling into the darkening forest toward the

and Adventure in the Territoiv C lake, dodging from tree to tree until he was out of sight. Angus quickly recovered, for, though lie lost much blood, he was not seriouslv hurt, and the ranger placed a bandage on the wounded shoulder while Totega and I'ierr ot the canoe afloat and placed the ? gage in it, not forgetting to gather up the rifles of the vanquished foe and load them into the boat with ! the rest. It had been Angus's intention to go up to the head of Yellow river and make a long portage of about twenty miles to the St. Joseph, as he told the Indians at Mux-sen-kuek-ee, but it was now a certainty, almost, that a party I would be sent to intercept him on that route and he was exceedinglv anxious to have no more fighting. They shaped their course down stream, therefore, the two Indians sullen and disconted because they were prevented from scalping their fallen foes, and rowed until far in the night, having much difficulty in avoiding the many trees and snags that obstructed the narrow river. They encamped on dry ground and remained in concealment the next day and night awaiting possible developments, after which they felt safe in continuing the voyage in the direction they were taking. The young sergeant was not familiar with the confluence of Yellowriver with its parent stream, the Kankakee, else he might have preferred taking his chances with the savages on his original route. The bright yellow water on which the- canoe drifted between " low, sandy, barren moors or sedgy fens was placid and innocent enough and the voyagers paddled all unsuspectingly while the fens broadened, then gave way to tangled bavous and thev to a boundless marsh in which the slender reeds stood higher than a man's head, but presently it came over them that there was no more river or current, nothing but a shoreless swampy lake with nothing to guide their course. They paddled on and on through endless reeds and weeds, with nothing else in sight except the blue and hopeful sky above and the yellow water be neath, and if perchance they came upon a dead, gnarled tree they found it standing only on a submerged hummock; if they came to shallow water they could perceive no shore beyond. The air was filled with myriads of offensive insects which thev could not brush from the lood they ate or keep from the foul and tepid water they tried to drink. At night the breezeless, lonely silence rilled theln with vague dread and the hopeless day brought no relief. Angus knew that somewhere to the west was land and that somewhere to the north there must be-a river, but not until the third day did the boat bump against ground that stood alxve water and then it was too soft to admit of landing. Piercing their way through the bending reeds the lost travelers followed this springy bank in its sinuous course toward the north and east and at length there came an opening in their reedy prison and their eager eyes looked out upon a narrow reach of turbid water flowing toward them with a perceptible current. Kcinvigorated by this blessed sight the tired men hastened to escape from the great lagoon out into the open air. A camping place was soon found and there being no fear of Indians in such a region a rest of several days was taken, by the end of which time the knife-wound was healed and Angus was whole again and strong.' Following the narrow stream through the broad Kankakee marshes miles upon miles the carrying-place to the south bend of St. Joseph river was reached and passed, the same path being followed that La Salle trod nearly two centuries before, and here, on a fertile plain watered by the beautiful river, stood a . number of Pottawattomie villages that must be investigated. This" river is the St. Joseph of the Late and is not the same stream that by its confluence with the St. Mary's at Fort Wayne forms the Maumee, though there is a place near the boundary line between Ohio and Indiana that both streams, by tributaries, draw water from the square mile of land. Knowing that they carried their li es in their hands at every stage of .heir progress the four messengers drifted down the river, stopping at many Tillages, and in the latter part or June arrived at the ancient fortification at its mouth overlooking Lake Michigan, where La Salle built the first fort in all this western territory. There is a high table land ;triangular in form, raised abruptly from the river and lake and on this eminence, now occupied by a city, stood the old log

fort and stockade where the missionary Hennepin preached through along winter to a discontented garrison on courage, concord and brotherly love, now more than three hundred years ago. Angus court eouslv delivered his message to the French commandant and tarried nearly a month in the cool and healthful breezes of the lake, gathering such information as he could along the line that had been laid out for him, all of which confirmed the impressions received at the first village he visited.

POSSIBLE BUT NOT PROBABLE French War Officers Think They Gould invade Enrjland a- d Fordfje on the Country Paris, Sept. 5 The results of the autumn maneuvers just tin ished in the west of France proved that an invasion of England French troops is not only entirely practicable but easy. At least this is the opinion of Leuit.-Col. Delaunay, whose name is signed to an article on this subject which will appear tomorrow in Vie Illustree. Lieut.-Col. Delaunay, who has followed personally every move in the maneuvers, consisting of the embarking, transportation and disembarking of troops, says. It is but childish to deny that the object of these operations was to show our neighbors that the possibility of a conflict with them is always present and ever in the minds of the army, which is taking measures to effect an invasion, should such an eventuality arise. "Napoleon was doomed to failure when he planned an invasion because steam was not yet invented; otherwise he would have been able to penetrate the net of the British ships and land troops at several different points. We now possess steam. Moreover, the French fleet is fully able to engage the attention of the entire British fleet in case of a battle in the channel, during which nothing would be more simple than the disembarkation ot French troops by a series of wellguarded transports. Once on British .soil, the troops could forage for food supplies and therefore would not be burdened with a commissariat." A former minister of marine who is now a rear admiral in the French navy, when he was shown Lieut.-Col. Delaunay 's article, said that he agreed with it perfectly. "Every officer in the French navy," declared he, "is fully convinced that an invasion is practical in ' spite of the jeers of the English, who are lulled by a sense of false security. The landing of our troops on the English coast is a matter of a single moonless night."

TWO SCHOOLS.

S put my heart to school, In the world where men grow wise. 'Go out," I Bald, "and learn the rule. Come back wben you win the prize.? Sly heart came back again, "And where is the prize?" I tried. "The rule was false, and the prize was pain, And the teacher's name was Pride." I put my heart to school, In the wool's where wild birds sing. In the fields where flowers spring, Where brooks run cool and clear And tbe blue ot heaven bends near. "Go out," I said; "you are only a fool, Iiut perhaps they can teach you here.' "And why do you stay so long, My heart, and where do you roam?" The answer came with a laugh and a sonp, "I find this school is home." Henry Van Dyke in Atlantic Monthly. Ail EAUlliniUC OF BAGS. ... By M. QUAD. Copyright, 1901, by C. B. Lewis. I had been at a certain hotel In London for three months while making researches In the Interests of a client In Canada and had come to a point In my investigations where I was required to go down to Canterbury to consult church records, aiid late one evening 1 began packing my bag for the trip. I was thus engaged when the door opened and a stranger entered my room. He was a man of about 50, well dressed and having the look of a gentleman, and there was a bland smile on his face as he quietly observed: "I thought I heard you Invite me to come In in answer to my knock. Pray .excuse me If I intrude." He handed me a card on which was engraved the name of Theodore E. Bliss, New Orleans, but his looks and accent did not go to show that he was a southerner. On the contrary, I knew he was a northern man. He was fairly posted about my own town of Toronto, and, recording to his statement, he had been offered a large plat of vacant property at a bargain. I knew two orncEiis called and aebested me. the property and its owner, and I knew the price to be low. We were talking away when there came a knock on the door, and as I rose to open It the landlord entered, and I saw a stranger behind him. "Ah, Mr. Cook," said mine host, "please excuse me. I thought you were out and some one might have entered your room. It is all right all right. Beg pardon, I'm sure." lie. was gone before I could ask any questions, and Mr. Bliss at once led the conversation back to the property and kept me so busy answering his queries that I had no time to wonder over the Incident. lie remained for a full hour- As he asked me to act as his ageDt for the purchase of the property, and as he paid me 100 on account I was forced to be more or less interested, though I could not get over feeling a bit put out at the war he had entered my room. Before leaving he found that I was going down to Canterbury In the morning, and he laughingly exclaimed: "Hov very queer! Why, I'm going down there myself. I'll meet you at the station in the morning, and we'll make the-journey together." After I got to bed I began to go over the incidents of the evening In a lawyerlike way. I found I had some curiosity about the way the landlord had burst Into my room and also as to the Identity of the man who had remained in the background. Mr. Bliss had seemed to talk straight enough, but I was considerably puzzled over him. After a night's sleep I felt better, however, or at least less annoyed, and when Mr. Bliss Joined me at the station I gave him cordial welcome. In a casual way I also noticed that, he 'carried a Gladstone bag, but of course I thought nothing of it at the time. We wet" a little early for the train and had taken our tickets and were walking up and down the platform when I was accosted by a stranger who asked for a word In private. I suspected at once that he was a detective. When we had stepped aside, he respectfully tnqnlred: "Am I right in believing that you are Mr. Cook of Toronto, Canada?" "Perfectly so," I replied.' "You are stopping at the King's Arms?" "Iam." "And the party with you?" "Mr. Theodore E. Bliss, sir." "Ah, just so! Thanks, sir. Mr. Bliss, being In your company, must be all right. Good day, sir." Had he lingered I might have put iome questions myself, but as he hurried away- instead I turned to my friend. Mr. Bliss was humming an air to himself -and appeared cool and placid. lie asked no questions, and I volunteered no information. I was upset again, however. If Mr. Bliss was all right because he was In my company, the detective must have had a suspicion of him previous to this meeting. I had lu a way guaranteed the man, and had I been right or wrong? As soon as we had taken our seats In the train I began to pump him as If I had him on the witness stand. In the course of an hour he made a dozen slips about Toronto, aud he dodged so many questions that I made up my mind he was a man I wanted nothing to do with. I insisted on returning his money aud taking back the receipt, and I declined to act as hla agent In any manner. He was certain-

ry surprised and put out, but he did not argue the matter. Just before we reached Guilford Junction he said he must get off there to see to a little business, but we did not part in bad feeling. It was not until I arrived at Canterbury that I discovered there had been a change of bags. Mr. Bliss had taken mine and left his. Ferhaps It was not exactly the right thing to do, but in my room at the hotel I tried my keys on the lock of the strange bag and opened It. It wai stuffed full of what I at first supposed to be clothing, but after a little investigation I grew white in the face and weak in the knees. Down below the clothing were English consols and railWay bonds to the amount of half a million dollars. I didn't have to figure much to come to the conclusion that a big robbery had been pulled off and that Mr. Bliss was in it. It was my duty to inform the police at once, but before I could leave the hotel two officers called and arrested me. They had me red handed, as It were, and even at the police station they would pay no attention to my assertions or protestations. In England a person under arrest is deemed guilty, at least by the police. I was taken back to London, where the robbery had occurred, and, though I had money and credentials and was an Innocent man, it took me four weeks to get out of the grip of the law. Meantime the asinine officers had given Mr. Bliss time to get half around the globe. IIow the man knew I was from Toronto and stopping at tbe King's Arms I cannot say, but he had robbed a broker's office near by, left the satchel at a fruit stand and entered the hotel to escape the crowd on his track. He had come direct to my room and had thereby saved himself. When he left me after our conversation, he picked up his satchel and turned in somewhere for the night. He knew the railroad stations would be watched, and he planned to get out of town In my company. It cost me 100 In cash and no end of worry to get clear of the law, and when I finally returned to the hotel the whilom urbane and humble landlord met me with a sinilu and said: "Yes, I know they failed to convict you, but Just at present we are greatly overcrowded, and I cannot accommodate you. Innocent as a babe, sir, but you'll have to try 6ome other hotel, dontcherkuow."

When Ton Give a Dinner. Let us suppose you wish to give a lit tie dinner for six. The tablecloth should be of the best damask you can afford. Underneath should be the "silence cloth," which may be of thick cotton flannel or a felt pad. At the right of each plate should be the knives, sharp edges toward the plate and in the order In which they are to be used, beginning at the right To the right of the knives should be the soup spoon, bowl up, and the oyster fork, when oysters are served. On the other side of the plate should be the forks, tines up, as many as are necessary. The goblet is placed at the upper right hand of the plate. If wine Is served, the glasses may be arranged in a semicircle in the order In which they are to be used, starting at the right. The large napkins should be folded four times when they are ironedrWhen placed upon the table, fold once more by hand, placing within the fold a dinner roll or a piece of bread 2 inches by 12 thick. The napkin may be placed in front of the plate or at the left of the forks. ' Always select a rather flat and never a very towering floral centerpiece, as this does not Interfere with the exchange of glances and conversation across the table, and the guests are not compelled to keep dodging from side to Bide to see around and over the lofty Self Possessed. It was late and getting later. However, that did not stop the sound of niufiled voices in the parlor. Meantime the gas meter worked Bteadily. ' The pater endured it as long as he could and then resolved on heroic measures. "Phyllis," he called from the head of the stairs, "has the morning paper come yet?" "No. sir," replied the funny man on The Daily Bugle. "We sre holding the form for an Important decision." And the pater went back to bed, wondering If they would keep house or live with him.

Goes the crockery and the waitress will probably be called clumsy and careless. Her plea of sudden dizziness is not allowed. "What

right has she to be dizzy?" they ask. Women who are suffering from diseases peculiarly feminine are liable to sudden dizziness and faintness, and it 19 only by curing the womanly diseases to which they are subject that dizziness and other ills can be entirely relieved. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription makes weak women strong and sick women well. It cures irregularity, dries disaereeable, weakening c,n drains, heals inflammation and ulceration, and cures female weakness. When these conditions are cured, .backache, headache, dizziness, etc., are also cured. I suffered for twelve years with female trouble." writes Mrs. Milton Grimes, of Adair, Adair Co., Iowa, " which brought on other diseases heart trouble, Bright' s disease, and at times would be nearly paralysed. Had neuralgia of stomach. I can freely say your medicines (nine bottles in all, five of ' Favorite Prescription,' four of ' Golden Medical Discovery, and two vials of Dr. Pierce's Pellets), have cured me. I can work with comfort now, but before I would be tired all the time and have a dizzy headache, and my nerves would be all unstrung so I could not sleep. Now I can sleep and do a big' day's work, something I had not done for over eleven years before." "Favorite Prescription w makes weak women strong, sick women well. Accept no substitute for the medicine which works wonders for weak women. Doctor Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the most desirable laxative for delicat women. Telephony In Berlin. An observant European correspondent writes us: "One afternoon about a fortnight ago a shower came down in Berlin, and, although there was not the slightest indication of lightning or thunder, the whole telephone service of Berlin was suspended for several hours. It was the most ridiculous piece of officialism that I ever heard of. It seems that the minute a drop of rain falls they shut up the telephone exchanges and all hands go out for beer. They don't do it anywhere except.undei the administration of the Reichpost, there being no such nonsense in Bavaria or Württemberg." Electrical World and Engineer.
