funny in fcho and Kingston driving a pony along a country lano that skirt ed a big field in a battalion of soldiers were pulled to watch them when without least provocation down front rank oh their knees An officer shouted I and off went the pony as fast as ho could lay his legs to tho ground stoop unpro tected declivity not more than a ahead the frightened girl she was only Bother feet against the splash board and pulled desperately out her- gloves to ribbons but Bobs galloped on with speed unabated and dashing around the corner al most plunged into a company of soldiers men sprang right and left all but one He made a leap at the run away and caught hold of his bridle anew pony dragged him some little distance but failing to shako- him off eventually gave up the struggle Of course burst into tears when she was quite euro the danger was over So the soldier got up bo- her and dtovo half a mile on her way Ive only a shilling sho said offering coin I wish it was a sovoroign If youll tell mo your name Uncle John will send you one I thank you very and I shall never forgot that you saved my life soldier took the shilling and eyed it comically He was a well sot up young fellow and he looked very handsome in his red So at least thought I cant this dont you know ho said smiling And he tossed the shilling into Gerties lap But wont you tell mo your name she urged thinking small- ness of reward was the reason of nonacceptance soldier laughed merrily With pleasure Its Tommy Atkins Private Tommy Atkins Now dont you forgot it And with another laugh off he ran watching him very sorry that tho despised shilling was all she had The soldiers formed up when Private Atkins rejoined them and turning the comer at the double passed out of girls sight Gertie was visiting uncle John of You will send it wont yon sho asked Oh yes certainly my dear ho answered laughing To Private Tommy Atkins of the Hertford Fusiliers It must be regiment Theres no others in the country Wouldnt the fellows roar But it shall bo sent Gertie Ill send it to the canteen keeper then your particu lar Tommy will be sure to get a share of the proceeds Nine years passed by Gertie was now Miss Kingston of had not such stroke of fortune but two male cousins had died and a third had offended Mr who being able to dispose of his property as he thought fit had be queathed a few thousand to the offend ing nephew and the estate to Gertie The girl had never to know ledge met this distant cousin Richard nor indeed was she aware that she had displaced him That had been from During all these years sho had not forgotten Tommy Atkins the name by which sho persisted in speaking of the soldier who had stopped her pony Although only a private ho was her typical hero in a proper manner Having ascertained that the Hert ford Fusiliers were stationed at Pern- bury she visited a jewelers shop and bought an elaborate gold and a massive chain of the same costly metal The watch she left to be suit ably engraved to Tommy Atkins of tho First Battalion Hertfordshire Regiment by Gertrude Kingston as a mark of gratitude I dont suppose that is soldiers name exclaimed Miss Kingston But I want that put on He saved my life and that was tho name ho me Having purchased the most ox- pensive purse the shop contained sh0 placed inside it five bank notes When the had delivered sot out alone for To and fro before door led to officers quarters at Pom- doing sontryduty Miss Kingston stopped in his path Can you tell mo sho asked If there is a soldier hero named Tommy Thomas Atkins Private Glossop grounded his Somebodys having you on toast miss ho answered interrupt ing explanation which she had concluded was very necessary Stepping aside to make room he saluted an officer who had passed hi tall and handsome with a face bronzed to copper color bat talion had not long returned from India That is exclaimed Mies Kingston- I should know him any where Will you kindly tell him that a lady wishes to speak to him a moment she went on producing her card case him this card and say I am the girl whose life he saved near about nine years ago My pony ran away and ho stopped it I dare say he will re member He conducted her to an orderly room gave a chair and entered his commanding officers quarters Graham almost the youngest officer of that rank in British army had just taken off his gloves the sergeant entered and saluting gave him the card Lady- wants to see you sir he said The Colonel started Miss King- Hall l he exclaimed in of What the dickens does she want with mo I wont see her Tell her tell her dont tell her anything it wasnt her fault This to himself Did she mention her business Not exactly sir I was to say that you saved her life about nine years ago Stopped a runaway pony sir She asked for a soldier by the name of Tommy Atkins begging your pardon sir added the sergeant with an illconcealed grin Col Graham pondered for a moment By Jove I remember he cried at length She must be little girl in a short frock who wanted to givemo a shilling and begged me to tell her my name You say she asked for Tommy Atkins Yes sir And recognized you as him your pardon again you that ho was always led to expect that he would succeed to Unfortunately for him he quarreled with your uncle and in consequence you are here I never heard a word of it Why did he quarrel My brother wished him to marry a certain lady and did not see his way What a shame exclaimed the girl deeply interested I am so sorry I feol that I have no right to Cant something be done Ig it possible to divide property Miss smiled Wouldnt that be rather quixotic my dear she asked I dont know was the reply I think I ought to do it Miss Raynor soon afterward took leave But a week later she paid another visit to I have heard from Dick she said and hell call on you the first time he is in the neighborhood He says he doesnt resent you being here in the least and ho will be very pleas ed to know you Miss had scarcely been at fifteen minutes devoted to praises of hor nephew Dick when that gentleman arrived and sent up his card LieutCol Richard Graham First Battalion Hertfordshire Regiment exclaimed Miss Kingston reading from card Why I was at ten days ago and I saw Dick Miss blandly I dont know I caw Private Silver Islet to be Opened Again The inhabitants of Thunder Bay District will no doubt be glad to learn that there in now almost a certainty that a large body of men will shortly be put to work again on the once cele brated silver mine at Silver Inlet and that claims included in the property will be put under develop date This mining property hits had quite a history and was once considered and indeed it was a veritable Eldorado It extends nearly the whole length of Lake Su perior or clear down from Pigeon River on the American to the and was purchased by the Silver Islet Mining Company over fifteen years ago from the original owners a company in Montreal A vast amount of exploratory done on the property and numerous assays were made nearly all of which showed great wealth livfcttver Wrier metals The mine at Silver Islet was eventually chosen as the scene of oper ations and it proved such a gigantic success that- the name of the mine be came almost a household word in every home in Ontario Over 3000000 was taken out in solid silver and the money invested by each individual owner was returned to him 40fold that is to say if a man had put in he received in dividends 40000 That this state of did not continue is said to be due to an accident at that time The Can- Tommy Atkins and I think his Col- Railway was not com- sir it Then she doesnt know me Ill see her What a coincidence And she really thought I was aj private Did she have a good look at me when I passed No more than a glimpse I should say sir Ahem Crockett A smart soldier servant entered from an inner room I want you to change tunics with me said the Colonel or lend me yours You are about my size I think When Miss Kingston entered Col Graham was standing at attention with his thumbs pressed tightly against the seams of his trousers in the Ivejusfcswallowedabayonet attitude that he could assume But his eyes said Awfully pretty girl I as plainly as eyes can speak I am so glad to meet you again she said Ive never forgotten you and Ive brought you a little gift if you will accept it Col Graham execute a half right turn and faced Private Crockett Is it against the regulations to re ceive a reward for doing my duty sir ho asked I I I dont think so stam mered Crockett almost as red as tunic that covered his manly breats Miss Kingston looked at him in surprise then inquiringly- at her hero whose bronzed features wore tho most wooden expression that he could summon up Evidently she suspected something but she produced the watch and chain and purse and presented them with a few graceful words I had the name you gave me on- graved on tho watch she said but that is not correct I think No miss answered the Colonel at the case That was a a joke But Tommy Atkins will do very well I am much obliged rather a singular coincidence that on the day following her return to Miss Kingston should re a visit from Miss a spin ster sister of late squire who had hitherto for some reason or other held aloof and this whitehairod old lady should almost at introduce subject of her nephew You dont know dear said tie la ft Its very funny The Colonel looked and spoke like a private soldier and Tommy Atkins like a gentleman The footman retired the Colonel came in and Miss King ston stood face to face with her hero across whoso waistcoat the massive chain she had given him was proudly displayed Why- why sho began blush ing almost as red as Private Crockett when seated in the officers chair we are old acquaintances And cousins added the bowing You saved my life It pleases you to say so I have come to thank you for your offer to share the property with me It would be a pity to divide Bal my dears interposed Miss shaking her white ringlets archly Isnt there a better way to pat things straight St Louis lie- public the Old A newspaper without enemies is scarcely deserving of friends The vicious and lawless never like a bold fearless and every selfrespect ing publisher should be proud of their enmity There are other newspaper foes however- who are far more troublesome and consequently more to be feared First and foremost is the man who owes a newspaper an honest debt and will not pay it Then there is the ambitious mortal who wants and office an complains because the newspaper cannot con sistently champion his cause he is pretty likely to become an enemy The man who wants to shape the of a newspaper and is not al lowed to do so is a sure enemy But the meanest man of all is man whom a newspaper has befriended and who deliberately condemns the sheet after securing from it all the assistance he possibly can The news paper can to some extent respect an open and avowed enemy but an in grate under any is beneath contempt Chicago July A big firo in Michigan City today was brought control about p ffho central portion of town was blase is esti mated at man lost his life in two others voro fatally burned are mitring firo was caused by an explosion of in a sash blind factory and navigation on tho upper lakes was not thought of after Nov ember The coal supply for the mine that year was put in charge of a man who it is said turned out- to be in- competent for instead of getting it up to tho mine early in the season he left it until late in the fall On the voy age up and while yet or miles away from the mine he one night put into a sheltered bay on the lake fear- ing a storm When he awoke next morning it was to find his frozen fast in the ice that had formed during the night The manager at the mines soon became alarmed at tho nonap pearance of the coal supply and made an effort to obtain a supply of wood but in those days were scarce in I that region and despite all he could do the engines and pumps had closed down in the following March At the opening of navigation the- mine was found to be flooded the machinery was totally inadequate to the tremendous task of pumping mine out a serious depression existed- at the time in financial concern of the country mining in the Province was without prestige in the English money markets so that it was impos sible to obtain money for mining In the meantime one or two of largest the company died and the trustees to incur such a large expenditure as was to properly work the mine on such a large scale have allowed it tb remain idle ever since Now that so much attention is being directed to mining wealth of tbo Province the trustees to the con- elusion that the present would be an opportune time to get investigators in the old country interested in the mine Accordingly they sent accredited representative a prominent Queens Counsel resident in the city to Eng land who the whole of tho property comprising acres for sale His mission proved eminent ly successful for a strong syndicate was soon formed there which has se cured the option of purchasing tho property Sufficient capital was at once subscribed to have the lands thoroughly explored and a party sent out from Toronto within next few days for the purpose It takes an old man to size up the now woman July Fox a former living a few
