BOUND FOR
CALIFORNIA.
If Peter Jones entertained a passion
for pretty Edna Pleteber, nobody knew
It but himself, for he was one of those
honest, retiring, soft hearted natures that
never tell of their finer feelings.
Discouraged by his small chances of
success, for Edna, like most pretty girls,
was a bit of a flirt, Peter accepted a
profitable offer to go to California and
leave Port Itaynor.
Teter wos scarcely missed In the social
gatherings that made the summer houses
pleasant at Port Uaynor, but Edna won
dered what nude them all so suddenly
dull to her.
She had plenty of attention from her
old friends and neighbors and from all
the visitors who saw her pretty face and
graceful movements. But her hero did
not appear, and Peter Jones was in Cal
ifornia. Jle was growing rich in California, Mr.
Fletcher said, being a good business
man, with a fine opportunity made for
him by the firm which had sent him out.
lie would find some fair, gentle girl who
was not petulant and would give the re
turn he deserved for his love and devo
tion, and he would marry her, of course,
and never come back to Port Uaynor.
And hero the sigh would have its way.
Mrs. Fletcher was surprised that at
21 Edna, the most attractive girl at Port
Uaynor, was Edna Fletcher still. Tom
and Will were both married and living in
the city, where Edna spent the winters
with them and had rejected several of
fers. She would not acknowledge to her
own heart thart all her love had been giv
en to Peter.
Three years Peter Jones had been in
California and had been placed at the
head of the branch house there, working
faithfullv in the interest of his employ
ers and slowly but surely making his
own fortune.
It was dusk on a summer evening
when the train drew up at the Port Uay
nor station and one gentleman stepped
ont upon the platform.
"No baggage," he said to the waiting
porter, and he sauntered up the road to
ward the Jones farm.
But the same road led him first to the
gate of Mr. Fletcher's large, handsome
house. There was no group upon the
porch, as there had been always in the
old times. "Of course not," the newcomer
thought impatiently. "All the young
folks are married and away."
He had hesitated at the gate, and he
thought he could spare time for a short
call, only to inquire for Mr. and Mrs.
Fletcher, old friends, who demanded
some courtesy from a neighbor so long
absent.
He went across the grass to the low
French window. This had been always
: his path to the house, and he smiled as
he found himself on the spot where he
had left Edna three years before.
"I'll trn to th rVnnt 1nnr nnil rinfl-." he
thought, but going a moment to glance
through the half closed blinds.
Two figures, dim in the gathering dark
ness, were on the sofa. Both wore light
dresses, anu mey were ciuse iuscuicl, ua
if talking confidentially. Peter did not
think that he was being an eavesdropper.
He only lingered because he recognized
a vpice whose tones had always been the
sweetest music in his ears.
"But why need I marry anybody?"
That was what Edna said. Not mar
riednot married!
Peter did long to shout the words, but
a auiet. low voice answered:
"You need not. Edna. But papa and I
wonder sometimes if onr little girl's heart
is really so set against marriage or if she
is hiding some secret from us.
"Secret! I never had a secret!"
"You are not engaged, then, without
our knowledge?"
"No. How could you think such a
thing?"
"And yon really have never loved any
of your suitors?"
Silence. Peter Jones knew that he was
playing a Very mean part, that he bad
no right to wait for the un veiling of a
maiden's heart .in this sly fashion, and
yet he could not stir.
"Was there any one, Edna," . Mrs.
Fletcher said very gently, "who won my
daughter's heart and did not know the
-treasure was his?"
A choking voice answered:
"Yes, mamma, but don't ask me who
ft was. He he was nobody in particu
lar." Peter Jones walked around to the front
door and rang the bell. Nobody would
have guessed by his quiet manner that

There, was JIrnt in the wide drawing
room where presently Mr. Fletcher and
Edna came to greet him, and Edna, pre
pared by his card, was self possessed and
: gracious. She had chaagedjn. those three
years and lost her petulance was more
womanly and yet as pretty as ever. And
,Peter Jones knew that the love In his
heart was not conquered, but strong a,

"Well. Just to think of It!" Mrs. Jones
said when she came home from the wed
ding, r '"That - Edna shoold refuse such
splendid offers as she has and marry pur

The eating of "high" game is un
doubtedly nttended with risks, and th
poisonous effects are probably due to
the toxins produced In the earlier
stages of the putrefactive process. The
advantage, of course, of hanging game
is 'that the flesh becomes tender and
decidedly more digestible than when
It la quite fresh. The ripening proc
ess, however, may mean the elabora
tion of toxins.
It has been stated that the produc
tion of the characteristic flavors of
game is related directly to the amount
of sulphuretted hydrogen or sulphur
alcohol set free, but It is rather re
pulsive to think that the delicate flavor
of game is dependent upon that Invari
able product of decomposition of rot
ten eggs sulpbureted hydrogen. The
smell evolved during cooking of "high"
game is even more disgusting.
Fresh game sometimes sets up mys
terious poisonous symptoms which
have been attributed to the fact of the
game having been overhunted and
fatigued. Fatigue products indeed
have been separated from overhunted
game which, when injected Into a
healthy animal, have produced marked
poisonous effects. There is no doubt
that fatigue products under certain cir
cumstances are also elaborated in tho
human body and give rise to a species
of self poisoning, characteristic symp
toms of which are headache, stupor
and gastric and intestinal pains. The
flesh of overdriven cattle may prove
poisonous from the same cause.
