He married Cecilia that winter and took her—together with a mil- lien or so of Michigan forest money —to his chateau in Touraine; and neither of them ever returned tof Re the peninsula. But Lucas and his wife and their younger daughter and their two sons came the next year; then! De- borah married a westerner and moved to Wyoming. “Junior” Lu-, cas and his brother John also mar— ried, and their wives preferred the more fashionable resorts of the east for the next summers. So, at the turn of the century, old Lucas and his wife, were coming alone to the enormous frame house on the edge of the ruined old mill town above the shores of Huron. The real reason for Lucast.fe- treat from Chicago was his bfedk with his brother John. They shi always quarreled; but now ‘they ceased to speak, and the 4 streets could not hold both, The purpose of the builder of the ether great house near St. Florentin was far more puzzling. The site was upon a tiny island in Lake} Huron, half a mile from shore, a/ rocky, precipitous islet - locally known as Resurrection Rock. In the summer of 1912, barges appeared and anchored in the smooth water between Resurrection Rock and the shore; artisans of a dozen trades lived upon the barges while they erected a large, hand- some house, chimneyed, wide of roof, graceful and pleasing. But no master of the mansion Instead, the newly com- pleted house was closed; doors locked and barred, windows sound- ly shuttered. .A white farmer, who lived a mile or so away upon the opposite mainland, was entrusted with the keys and was paid to in- spect the premises periodically. Yes; it was an ordinary enough house, he reported. But, after a few inspections alone, he always took some one with him. Speculation and wonder in the neighborhood soon took weird and fantastic forms. Poor, pious people ceased to approach. At first, old Lucas Cullen laughed at the stories; but.as time went on, they began to affect him. The thing obsessed him. He was an, old man now, over seventy, but hardy and strong, clear of eye, steady of hand, vindictive and mer- ciless yet to all who opposed him. In all his long, lent life, no one and nothing—was known to have shaker him until some one, without reason, raised. that house on the islet locally known as Resurrection | Rock. CHAPTER II.

No bodies have been buried in these neglectd placs for many years. ‘The strect cars around them and occasionally—very seldom, indeed, some surviving rela- tive climbs painfully ‘up the long steps and places a wreath on some othewise forgotten grave.

They fill out eventually and make a fine hog for the market. This is how he accounts for the fact that the hogs at the college averaged 147 pounds each this year when they were turned out of the fields. They used to average 105 ‘| pounds, he says. He told how he sat on a fence at !a Des Moines fair in 1919 and saw the judges pick a lot of rangy “greyhounds” from the hog rings as prize winners. “I came back to Fargo,” he said, and told Daddy Geiken (Herdsman at the college):. ‘Daddy, our hogs are out of style. Let’s look them over and Tl show you which ones come near- est to being the sort of hogs we want.’ Well, we looked them over I picked out a few of the rangier ones. “We've been teaching the boys all wrong’ Daddy said when I showed him these. We had. just begun to train our stock judging team for the international. So we started out on a new line and emhpasized the need for longer lines. Later in the year George Hansen of Barnes county went down to Chicago and won the International judging contest.” Telling about experiments being conducted this year no hogging off - leorn, Mr. Shepperd said: “Every hog here has to tell his story.

But there remains ONE time-hon- ored institution, the “Chinatown guide.” . I came across one of these pic- turesque personages the other mght in a dark corner, a block off Grant avenue. He had gathered about him his group of 30 eastern tourists, and I horned in to get his line of con- versation. “Now huddle in here close, folks,” he whispered with ‘@ suggestive wave of his hands, “and for the love of Pete, if you hear a pistol shot or see a sudden rush of Chinatown ‘down that alley, don’t run—don’t MOVE, just stick together and watch me. There’s not much danger if you just don’t get scared. Keep you head, that’s the main thing, and I'll get you out!” Of course, the only possible danger to any one at that particular point, was of laughing oneself to death. “Tong Killers Home!” Tlie the guide! pointed mysterious- ly to an ordinary brick building be- fore which sat a group of peaceful Celestials, enjoying their evening pipe. “ging Hi Tong headquarters,” he hoarsely whispered, “50 tong killers in there right now. Come on.” Down an alley he went aad L sup- pose found ‘an old Chinaman, who, for half a dollar, previously given, would cdnsent to take a puff of opium “from a long pipe. “Opium den,” the'guide would whisper. Later they would visit a gambling den where half a dozen Chinese are having a little social game of fan- tan, and so it will go until every- body is tired and footsore and the tourist will) have .omething to tak about when he gets back to Kokomo. Then there is Little Italy, where the signs and conversation are all of a piece with Palermo; and the other foreign sections as distinct from each other as if they were isolated communities. | “It is all interesting and very for- eign.

ILLS MAKE UNHAPPY HOME There is no question but what the ills of women conspire against domes- tie harmony. The husband cannot understand these troubles and the) physician finds it hard to cure ‘them; therefore the overworked wife and mother continues to drag around day in and day out with headaches and backache, fretful and nervous. Such women should be guided by the experience of women whose let- ters we are continually publishing in this paper. Many of them declare that they have been restored to health, strength and consequent hap- piness by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege- table Compound after doctors and all other medicines had failed to help them. It'will surely pay women who suffer from stich ailments to try it. —Advt, WOMAN'S TO PROMOTE GOOD READING Kenyon College (Gambier, 0.) has entered upon an undertaking for the eficouragement. of the reading of really good literature that is novel, as well as along the line of a public service. ‘It offers a substantial prize to stu- dents of any college for the best es- say on “Gorgo,” the fascinating ro- mance of old Athens, by Prof. Charles Kelsey Gaines of Canton, N. Y. “Gorgo” is a story that approach- [es such works as “Ben Hur” and “Quo Vadis” in romantic merit and | besides, depicts the social, political and martial conditions of the great Greek populace, making the book a study as’ well as a story. Many condemn what they consider a perversion of modern literary taste, as evidenced in the strong popular demand for what may be called, in brief, “sex stuff.” ‘At any rate, lovers of good books will endorse Kenyon College’s ef- fort to promote the reading of good literature, If the popular tendency is along a dangerous line, our colleges can get busy with a back-fire, or some- thing else equally effacious in pro- moting good sense, good taste and good morals.
