He was well beyond the middle of the pond when a shot from the shore behind him shattered the Bilence of the deep vale and filled It with echoes. Shad jumped. A bullet had whizzed by his head and struck the water beyond him, and ricochetted on Its surface. It had come from some point on the shore he had left a bit east of him. A thought flashed through his brain, ne flung his feet over the stern and dropped Into the water, and none too oulcklv. Another ball had whizzed through the air above him, In a rush of sound. Reaching up, he seized the gunwale, and, keeping the canoe be tween him and the direction whence the shot had come, swam with his free arm. The shooting ceased. The man whose rifle had been aimed at him was no doubt seeking a more favorable point of attack. Shad, with the skill of a lad whose cradle, one may almost say, had been a canoe in water, made swifter progress than He hi PTipmv had thought possible. got beyond the rock and ashore, seized his pack basket and crept into the thicket, dragging it beside him. Now covered, he arose, thrust his arms through the basket straps and ran. He was about a mile and a half from Center pond when he came to the abandoned lumber camp on Mose : normnln's chart It stood in a little clearing.

Shad told of what he and Bony had learned of the man under the broad- brimmed hat hastening down the road to Ashfleld ; of their searching for and finding the hidden handkerchief and hats; of the group of men at the Westminster hotel and of Bony's boastful words in their presence: of Doctor Gorse's suggestions regarding the revolver and the rubbers; of the big man who followed him to the lumber camp. Shad proudly unwrapped the pack ages in his basket and laid them be fore the astonished officers of the law. Colonel Blake drew a chart of the road and river from Ashfleld to r The author, Compton Mackeuile, novelist, has loused the tiny island of Jethou, which lies with its smaller sister, Herm, just east of Guernsey, in the Channel islands. Curiously, this lease Is taken from the British government, at an absurd figure amounting to perhaps $1 a week and if the novelist lives there six months In the year he may live in England itself the other six months and entirely escape the income burden. By virtue of his Investment, he may fly his own flag and assume many feudal privileges of the ancient duchy of Normandy, for these islands are a part of that dukedom. There are no taxes on tobacco, spirits, on gun licenses, nor has he a tax to pay to his local government. Herm, next door, also was leased ln a similar way, and has a curious history of its lease to Trince Bluch- er of Waldstadt, Germany, of Blucher, the general of the battle of Waterloo. The late Trince Blucher was strongly attracted to the Australian kangaroo and bred them on Herm. The Island is now in Its original state and the kangaroos have vanished. are nof patent medicine Their appetite needs no coaxing. Their tongues are never coated, cheeks never pale.

Food elements in both were the same CHEMICALLY, two baby foods can be exactly alike. The same percentage of carbohydrate, fat, protein, mineral salts. The same vitamins. Yet on one, a baby may lose weight, grow thin and weak. And on the other, that same baby can flourish and gain and take on new life. What's the reason ? ; ; j Digestibility. Digestibility of prime importance Doctors know that a baby can starve on what is apparently the most perfectly 'balanced" formula if his body cannot use the food elements it contains. Only a food which is easily and completely digested and assimilated can give to your baby the full amount of building material his little body needs. Countless doctors and mothers have found this out through actual experience. And that is why Eagle Brand, over a period of 75 years, has won a marvelous reputation as an infant food. For Eagle Brand, next to mother's milk, is the easiest form of milk in all the world to digest. In baby's stomach, Eagle Brand forms soft, fine curds, like those formed by mother's milk. Every drop of Eagle Brand is quickly assimilated, goes quickly into the making of bones and teeth, muscle and tissue, energy and strength. This milk can build 100 babies! And what a builder Eagle Brand isl s baby clinic, Recently, in a their field in two physicians specialists fed a group of 50 average babies on Eagle Brand for several months, to test its exact value in baby building. Bone structure was studied with the X-ra- y. Tooth development was watched. Weight and height were periodically recorded. Blood tests were made ; ; ; and those 50 Eagle Brand babies, judged by every known test, proved themselves splendidly nourished. This simple diet Eagle Brand with the usual supplementary foods bad proved equal in every way to the building of 100 babies. What overwhelming proof that the mother whose own milk fails can put her baby on Eagle Brand with perfect confidence! Try Eagle Brand.
