He produced a ¡urge rolled sheet
of pnrchm eut, Imposingly enscrolled,
across the top of which ran the
legend :
“ A FREE PARDON."
“ Tw as bound to come," he ram bled
on. “Do you go w ithin and show It

"I am so happy I know no t w hat to

We followed her pointing finger;
and there, striding between the or­
dered house-fronts o f I'earl street, ex­
actly ns I had seen hint the first tim e
we met, came Ta-w an-ne-ars, the
eagle's feather slnntlng from Ills scalp-

grave face was smiling. Ills right arm
w as raised In salute.
"Qua,

"H ave you any fu rth e r new s?” ques­

for tidings of his d istan t dominions.
“Only news of pence. The fro n tier
Is quiet. The Doom T rail Is closed.
The far tribes are traveling to Albany
to offer their allegiance and friend­
ship. The fu r trad e Is once more u n ­

“ We have w aited long for you to
visit us, brother,” I said. "Now thut

stay many moons."
H is smile became sad.

“1 go with you," he gasped after
much effort.
“I go to the Land of Lost Souls.”
“Ja, th a t's all righdt,” returned Cor­

T he hard lines of the Seneca's stern
face were softened by a ru le glow of
feeling.

“Good. Then we will say good-by

"N’o, no, we will accompany you to

“I was In der Sliawnees’ country

“N'len, M urray Is nefer spoken of.

"So are the mighty fallen,” mused
ihe governor as we strolled along. “A

We walked out upon th e w harf

Value of Milk Known
From Eurliest Times
Cows were the first Hiilmals dom esti­
cated when cavemen forsook their
clubs for rude plows to till the soil. In
India the cow has been worshiped tor
centuries. Sacred cows huve been
m aintained In tem ples and milk has
h id an Im portant place In Hlndc
magic. Milk has been the subject of
song nnd poetry since history began.
Cannun, the prom ised land of Israel,
was said to flow with milk and honey.
Ovid, the Roman poet, gave milk sec­
ond place only to nectar, the drink of
the gods.
3111k for ages has been regarded as
a cure for hum an Ills. The ancients
discovered It w as a trem endous factor
In building up and m aintaining the
body. T his Is because milk Is an a l­
most perfect food, combining nearly
all ‘the elem ents necessary for com­
plete nourishm ent.
Modern science has produced evapo­
rated milk which, experts say, Is an
Improvement on the original. By re-
ittovnl iff On p er ren t of the wnter,
evaporated milk is rendered tw ice as
rich in food ta b le as ordinary market
milk. The sterilizing process through
which evaporated milk goes makes It
easier of digestion than ordinary bot­
tle d milk. T his Is due to the fact that
flie mirk curds are rendered more floc-
culent by the heat.
