VERY emigrant sets out to the new world with the hope in his heart that riches will be easy to acquire and that the path of life will be thereafter ever smooth. Many fail to realise their hopes. Anticipation is not backed up by determination, and they find that it is the same old struggle all the world over, and success comes only to him who sets out not only with desire but with resolute intention, determined, whatever obstacles fall across his path, to surmount them and fight onward till his aim is achieved.
Tom Milton left home for America carrying a vision of a cosy old farm tucked away in a sublime valley, where mother and father, both aged and incapable of much further effort, clung to their home with that superb tenacity which is characteristic of those born and l)red on the land and of the land. Things had been going bad. A couple of years and the further struggle would be impossible for the old people.

" You have done very well, Milton, since you have been attached to us," said the chief, looking up at the lithe figure and eager face before him ; and I intend to give you a chance on a private mission, which, if successful, will be advantageous to you."
" Yes, sir; I shall be most wilh'ng to undertake any task. I am sure I shall do my best to carry it out successfully," i-eplied Tom, beaming all over his face at the idea of his luck.
" I know you will, I know you will do your best, Milton," responded the chief; "but I must warn you it is no light task, and there may possibly be a grave element of risk about it."
" So much the better, sir. I shall be the more anxious to work cautiously."
" Yes, you will have to be most cautious. If the people you will have to run down get wind of your mission, the game, from our
