SATURDAY MORNING A trunk tournament, in which pygmy prices play an important part— ami we add with emphasis that he who hesitates loses a good trunk It doesn't matter whether you need a trunk just now -come and see them any way. All of these trunks are heavy caivvLs covered, strong hard wood slats on all—some sole leather hound, some iron bound, some have two leather straps, ueavy brass locks, some linen, some two trays with hat box compartment, two bottoms, one of which is sheet iron, and not one in the lot but will defy the fiercest luggage smasher that ever Hung, kicked or jumped on an unoffending trunk. Some of these trunks are great, handsome, swell. SSTT..' •' V C. (WeGARVEY. 316 Newcastle Street. TRULY “A GRAND OLDWHISKEY" c ut*-, • the famous CREAM OF KENTUCKY.

At least so the pdop'.e down at St. Michel said when a stranger would ask where he had come from. Even before the gov ernment had built the lighthouse on Presque Isle -Pete's fishing lint had boon there, and every night lie had hung out his lantern on the end of a pole so that the boats rounding the point a mile or two below would see Its flicker ami steer clear of the long sand bar that ran out like an ant eater's nose from the northern corner of Presque Isle. Everybody along the strait knew the quaint old figure, but no one knew of Hnbotto until they saw her one morn ing fluttering along behind Pete, her rod calico dress the one bright, spot of color among the grays and browns of Presque isle. The day before Pete bad been seen rowing over to tile Mackinac shore, but no one knew of Ids return except .Mere M'rio, and she was so old and deaf that all she could do was cook Pete's fish and sit out in the sun shine nil day smoking in the kitchen doorway. When Etuulry Dubois from Algcnae island asked the question direct, Pete smiled and shook ids head, his dark eves, deep set in the smell brown face, watching Dabette build houses with the red bark chips around the light house steps. “She inis no one but me,” ho said, with a dubious shrug of his thin, stooped shoulders. “Itabctte, who nrl thou, petiteV” Babotte stopped playing long enough to tiasli a merry glance at him mnlei the shelter of her thick brown hair. "Pete’s Babotte,” she laughed. And so, all through the isles of the strait, as far as St. Ignnce and even down to .Mackinaw, she was known as Pole's Babelte. Pete taught her all inaimer of wonderful things in fish lore and slilperaft, and before long she knew all the boats that passed b,v Presque Isle from the great iron kings and grain boats bound for Buffalo to the gay little yachts that fluttered like white butterflies hen; and there. But, best of all, she loved the schooners, the old niouarchs of the lake, when they came sailing up the strait uu a still summer's eve, tike wondrous phantom ships, with the glory of the sunset: be hind, ami she called them Babotte’s birds. And the years passed by, ten of |’them, slow and sure and steady, one | by one, as the wild geese lly to the ■ southland, and each one left Pete ! browner and more wrinkled and sniall , or, while Bnbettc grew up {ail ami ' slender and strong as a young pine j tree, with hair ami eyes brown as dry ! oak leaves. Tin'll came the terrible j winter of '!)-!, when boat after boat I went out on the lakes and no more was j heard from them until spring waves : brought in the wreckage. It was cold | at the little, low houfte back of the | lighthouse on Presque Isle, colder than ■ even Pete could remember, and every I week it. was harder for him to row j down to St. Michel for provisions.. i One night he came home half frozen -and with a dreadful cough. Babelte i sent him to bed and said he should go I no more. They must make what food they had last until warmer weather. ' But instead of sunshine and fair seas | the clouds swept low and gray like j gulls hel'oio a storm, and the waves I came rolling in, with a deep, heavy j swell that sent a dull, threatening i roar as they broke, up to the light | house. And here and there in the dark | green waters could be seen something | else, a clumsy, swaying mass that glinted blue white. “Tlu> ice bus come,” Babette thought when she smv it from the lighthouse window one morning lifter she had I rimmed the tump, and there was a queer ache in her heart as she looked off down the strait and thought of how her birds would have to battle with it, hut she 1 1 id not tell Pete, It was Ihree days later when Mere M'rio showed her the empty meal hag. Site smiled. There were still bacon and rice and dried lisle They were rich. At the end of the week there was no ba con, and they laid saved the last of the rice for Pete, who lay on the old lounge near the stove coughing, cough ing all the t into. The following day Pete was deliri ous. Bnbette stood in the old kitchen, looking from the flushed, wrinkled face on the pillow to where Mere M’rio ; knelt over by the stove praying. The provisions were gone. There was no | medicine. j P.nbotto took the fur jacket from Its nail. Before she went out of the kltch • en she leaned over the old halfbreed i woman’s bent form. “To St. Michel,” she said slowly, pointing eastward and then at the empty meal stick and flour 1 hag thrown in a corner. Mere M’rio i understood and stopped her praying ; long enough to watch the strong, erect | young figure pass down to the shore, the wind blowing the ends of lier scarf • backward over her shoulders like red wings. Her hands worked quickly over the lines of the boat, and, taking advan ! tage of a momentary lull, she pushed away from the small, tumbled down ' pier and struck out bravely for St. Mi chel. She had often been ..opt ivith fete wnon tite waves were as high as now, nml she loved the excitement of It nil. The low, fiat shore of Presque Isle vanished entirely behind the wall of waters, but she could catch a glimpse of the dear old .lighthouse and its round top above the tallest wave, and the sight strengthened and nerved her for the five mile Journey to St. Michel. Suddenly, when scarcely half a mile out, 1 lie boat seemed to strike anew current. Babotte caught hot- ln-eath sharply ns she felt the strong, resist less power sweep her from her course, and she bent over the oars with set, close lips and tense muscles, but it. was useless. The deep, swelling rush of waters carried her northward, straight on to the middle channel of the strait. The wind had come up again and raged over the lake like a wild beast. Then, without warning, there rose be fore her the jugged, cruel line of the lee Hoc, and the next moment the waves had thrown the boat ns if it had been a leaf full upon it. Instinctively Babetto had risen at that last awful instant. As the boat crashed into the ice with a shock tlmt made it leap and tremble she sprang forward and gained a footing on the ice floe, a slight, perilous one, to be sure, but one tlmt meant safety for the moment at least. Already the little boat had disap peared in the whirlpool of dashing wa ters, and Babette’s heart beat fast as she looked about her on her new craft. It was large; it seemed ns large as Presque Isle Itself, and at first it ap peared stationary. But when she had readied i(s center she could feel the slow, steady motion ns it swept oil to ward Bake Huron. And now came the division of the channel, and Babetle's heart almost stopped its frightened healing as she thought of what would happen If the floe drifted north of Algonne island and out on the great pitiless waters of the lake. Willi Tundied breath she waited. The floe was heaving so that she could hardly reinin her place, but at last the pine crests of Algcnae showed on her left, and she knew she would pass Hi. Micl|d. With fingers stiffened by the cold she uni led the red scarf from about her head and let the wind blow It like a danger signal above lur as she caught a glimpse of the lighthouse on the west pier. So near. It seemed, she placed her hand to her mouth and shouted, bul her voice sounded like a reedbird's pipe in the in iso of ibe rush jug wab rs. She was opposite tlm low:i now. She could see the waves brink on the pier, and yet there was no sign of help. With a fearles ness horn of despera tion she st rue'.' id to her feet and waved flic scarf wildly, and suddenly a figure appeared on the lighthouse ladder. Again she waved and tried to call. The figure signaled back and ran along the pier toward town. It was I-niulry Dubois. Hu burst into the wtirin I>sifit room nt old Mine, Por tc.'iu’h breathless and 1 1 nll < ss. "It is Pete's Babette,” ho cried to the crowd of lislicrtncn and sailors hud dled about tin- big wood stove. "She Is on the Ice, drifting out to (lie hike.” In live minutes the news had spread, and the shore was crowded, while the strongest boat in the place was manned, with T.nndry at the rudder, and stout arms pulled away to the res cue of Pete’s Ihilieite. And when they brought her back half fnr/.vn and half dead and gave her into Mine. Por teau’s care she told h r erratel In the warm back room told bow Pete lay dying without food or medicine and how unless help was sent there would be 110 light shining from Prcscjne Isle that nlglit. “The light shall shine," promised I.andry, and the waves that had laughed at Ihthette’s little boat bowed before the masterful stroke of ten pairs of St. Miehd’a strongest arms as they manned the boat that bore 15a betfe and provisions and medicine buck to Presque Isle. “Thou hast saved bis life, little one,” said Landry, when they stood in the kitchen where Mere M’rit: still prayed. But Babette only smiled and nodded her head, and she went on to the light house. The winter twilight was falling swiftly, and the wind had gone down like one tired with its mad play. Far to the west she could see a boat strug gling slowly up the strait, its lights gleaming now and then like Jewels. Bhe lit the lamp with fingers that trembled, and the broad path of light streamed out over tlio point. Babette’s birds could fly in safety tonight, and below Landry Dubois held aloft a red scarf and told Its story, even as it is told today around the islands of the strait—the story of Pete's Babette.

Cheese, which has'been the fofttfne of Roquefort, has destroyed its pic turesqueness. It has specu lators there who havev raised great, ugly, square buildings ’ of dazzling whiteness in harsh contrast with the character and somber tone of the old houses. Although the place is so small that it consists of only one street and a few alleys, the more ancient dwell ings are remarkable for their height, it is surprising to see in a village lost among the sterile bills houses three stories high. The fact that there is only a ledge on which to build must be the explanation. What is most curious in the place is the cellars. Before the ehce.se became an impor tant article of commerce these were natural caverns, such as are every where to be found in this calcareous formation, but now they are really,cel lars that have been excavated to such a depth in the rock that they are to be seen in as many as five stages, where long rows of cheeses are stacked one over the other. The virtue of these cel lars from the cheesemaking point of view is their dryness and their scarce ly varying temperature of about 8 de grees centigrade summer and winter.— Temple Bar.
