Frank Dobson was stopping on the Flambeau river at French Pierre's. lie was there for the bass fishing, and had been having good sport. The small- mouths were biting freely and he had taken the canoe and a guide down tho river that morning early to reach some water where the guide promised some big fellows, At a bend in the stream the guide paddled in closer to shore | and pointed to a strip of smooth water below a stretch of switt-flowing rif- fles. “We'll get some of ’em right| there,” he said, pointing to the place. A big rock jutting out of the water | was reached and the guide held the | boat up to a rift in the rock while Dobson hooked on a minnow and cast out into the still water. A “strike” fol- lowed almost immediately, the bas; running far out and down stream and plied himself exclusive attempting to carry on to the house iwas Mi ly to it without any conversa: S tion while it lasted ot At the end of hig task the girl re & well bring it up g a dipper there marked: “You m and you can have labor.” Dobson du the bucket on to the I ushered in peared.

Mrs Bond took Mildred to bac in an hour or so. He turned another bend in the river and left the guide stretched out And already sleep- ing, so complete was his exhaustion from the festivities of the previous night. | After walking for a mile or so down stream Dobson came to where a lodge had been built a little ways back from shore. It was a picturesque log affair and he was much interested in its cozy appearance until aroused from his con jectures by another picture even more pleasing, almost at his elbow. A sleck Jersey cow munching something from a wooden bucket was the first thing he noticed; and then the prettiest girl he | had ever seen, milking the cow, was | the next and most important part of | the picture. Dobson lifted his wide- | brimmed hat politely. “I beg your, pardon,” he said, melodlously, “is thlsi Jackson's cottage?” The gi:! scanned him critically as she said: “This is Meredith’'s place.” “Oh, yes, Mere- dith's,” replied Dobson amiably. “I knew it belonged to some one and Jackson was the first name that came into my head.” The young lady smiled at his impudence and was about to turn to her milking when Dobson said, hum- bly: “I certainly don't wish to appear importunate, but how on earth did this Jersey cow happen to be introduced into this landscape? Why this elabo- rate cottage and such a milkmaid? dollar for a drink of looked at him again “1 see by the scar on your right cheek that you are Frank Dobson.” Dobson" hand instinctively went up to his face.

A kingfisher scalloped along the river with his harsh, challenging cry, and overhead, far up, an eagle sailed. The geattered a spray of silver beads on the surface of the water, and a few faint clouds swung low en the far-off hori- zon. Dobson and the milkmaid were seat- ed on the bank of the stream and en- gaged in earnest conversation. He had told her that she was the one woman in the world and she had informed him that she was already the wife-to-be of another man. The deep scar on his right cheek turned white “Well, in that case,” he said, “of course the other fellow isn't here to make his talk, and I haven't got a word | to say.” me for not telling yvou of thi the girl said “But, why don’t you reproach “Reproach you man's Why, I wouldn't have| missed t privile t loy ou for, twenty years out of my ! » put her hand te 1 h scarred face, 1 love y »ostam | mered I—I am g ak my He is old enough to be | It was an idea of loyalty I am going to be loyal | my fath to my father. to you; to myself And that W it came to be her- alded abroad that Dobson, the gay !h\.“‘ debonair, the handsome, the cultured | and fastidious, had married a milk- | maid.

In Japan no notice is taken of the | actual anniversary of a birth, but | every one adds a year to his or her | age on the Setsbun, a movable !‘flsn-‘ val which occurs either late in Janu- | ary or at the beginning of February. | Thus a child is said to be a year old | that is in its first year, directly it is born, and on the following Setsbun it will be two, although, in fact, it may be only a few days old. The feast is not kept in any marked manner, ex- cept that akameshi (rice boiled with | small red beans which give it a red ! color) s eaten, and in the m'»nlm:1 parched beans are scattered about | the room from a square rice measure, | to the cry, “Fuku ga ouchi.
