A large number of the audience was composed of Socialists. The speakers for the evening were Duncan Marshall of Edmonton, and Dr. Clarke, M. P., i'or Red Deer.

He invited any opposition speakers to come and take a scat witli thorn'on the platform and in response Charles O'Brien, organlz-- er for the S. P. of C, came forward. Duncan Marshall was the first speaker, and as is usual with Liberal speakers, he pointed out the great prosperity-under Liberal rule since-1896, the most .prosperous ten years in th&.his- tory of Canada,' and .in fact of.' the whole, world, and he compared,, them with the. period .under Conservative rule'.

WON FIGHT WITH KNOCKOUT BLOW The Calgary News; has the i.ollo*.*f' ing to say of the fight between Lauder, and Kearns. •Yes, it's true all light/*'"..^ ■■-»' , . -Lauder won on u knock out intir-S ninth. At least he put Jack Kearns down' for "the count. Whether Kearns took the count to save himself from further punishment or .whether he was too frail to stand the punch that Lauder sent in on his jaw is still another matter. It - certainly was not , a sledge hammer blow that did the trick. And yet he seemed badly dazed. . Lying on the floor stretched at his full length the referee counted him and for a couple of seconds after he made' no attempt -to move. When he was finally dragged lo his feet he staggered from the centre to tho^ west side of the ring, and fell iu a heap across the ropes. Willing ai.d friendly hands went to his aid nnd lie was assisted to his corner," and re- ' vived sufficiently to walk to tbe, dressing room,' There was absolutely no question as to whoso fight it was, and the crowd which filled every seat in tho Lyric theatre, wildly cheered tho little Scotchman, who thus decisively added another .victory to his already long list. Kearns'was not in Lauder's class, , and not nearly such a game fighter as ' Eddie Merino. ,, It was not a particularly. exciting * exhibition at any period, Lauder all through having slightly the. best of the fight. -.

The all ruling' majority may. at. any time lay predatory hands on'private property on a gigantic scale. Recent support, of Socialism by the ruling classes in "Britain began in the early eighties. Up to that time the basic claim, of the economist's, that man is, entitled' to what he1 produces - or earns under freedom of contract, was advanced against every Socialistic demand for an equal division of the products of labor. This is the instance of property inherent in1 man. Herbert Spencer, in strengthening the cause of individualism, appreciated and declared that a freedom of contract involved a recognition of all men's equal right of access to the earth's surface.' This■ feature of his reasoning was kept in the background until brought forward by the" Irish land agitation, and by American writers, who devised ' practical schemes for the application of his principles. The landed class-found their titles assailed, and could find no. reassurance in Blackstone or any other authority on British law. In the alarm which was concealed under an attitude of-superior concern, they began to tolerate Socialistic; arguments - formerly denounced.

We .theii have despotic ■ government- by the judiciary In place of p;ovot*nnient of, for and by the people.- . This revolution has'already progressed very far,.; It .is depriving the .workers of thoir rights as citizens, by forbidding the. exercise of freedom of -speech, freedom, of tho press, freo- dom of assembly and the right of- petition, if, iri tho opinion of the judgo, the oxorclso of. these , liberties may' work injury to; some .trUBt ;or corpora- lion.' , It is applicable to tho worker to-day and will inevitably bo made applicable to the business man at a later period, Tho progress1 bf this revolution has to stop. We muBt .return to government by law In all InstancoB whoro tho revolution l.as been successful. This virus-und poison hns not only attacked tho judicial branch of government, but has in sovoral instances entered upon tho legislative flold, hy milking laws which may bo onforcod by equity procosB'-'-that Is, tho Judge is by this law authorized lo: Disregard all accoptod ruJes of procedure and of evidence, to DlsponHo with Jury trial and nub- iitltuto insload of tjiouo safeguards'of what Ib right. It was with thoso serious thoughts lu mind that La'.or's representatives *. •, In the , meantime the dispute between the'• hatters','union and Mr, Loewe of- Danbury Conn., was in*/pro- gres's from one court to another, until it reached' the United States supreme Court, where it' was.-; decided that": . Organizations of working men and working women, for mutual aid and assistance, are illegal combinations,' in restraint, of trade under the so- called Sherman anti-trust law. • That any one injured thereby may recover three fold damages from tub organizations, and if they havo not the means then the individual members thereof. Between this law, enforceable by the equity process,"ami the'extension of the use of tlio in-, junction, the individual freedom of the worker to combine with others for mutual aid and protection is all swept away, and his-rights as a citizen'1 denied and disregarded. For all these steadily growing, and dangerous tendencies there is but" ouo remedy— legislation by the people through their proper representatives. Again we appealed to Congress, and again our- answer was a distinct and emphatic NO. ,. „\Ve drafted and caused to bo introduced iii Congress specific bills to stay and remedy this great evil, but to no purpose. Labor was not only given' an emphatic NO, but' it was coupled with a. statement by candidate for vice- president, Mr. Sherman, accepted and approved.by the majority of'the,Congress members, that, his party, fully understood what-it was doing,, and accepted all'responsibility for what it did and.for.it was not, doing. , 1 It 'is- no' 'attack upon tho judges to say that they are men with a fair average quality of human nature; ami that they are subject to the prejudices and passions' of men. . They can not. divest themselves • of I 4. 4 their humanity..,. by putting on tho ^^^^■"eilniiteTaily^.nrore-than—Tair the Jring divest himself of his by put: ting,on the crown. ..'.'■''.. n' ■'. , " , - Despotic- power, under' the ermine is as dangerous.-as despotic power under the crown. . To stay* it progress some remedy must be,had, and we therefore appealed to the Republican .convention at Chicago,, and we were given the same answer. In still more insulting language if that were possible'. We asked for bread, and they showed us a whip and In order ot make sure ..that the..whip-would be effectually applied tlioy nominated as president Mr. William H., Taft, ..the original and specific champion of discretionary government—that is, of government by injunction. In passing, I might say that his nomination undor the circumstances, was logical. It would have boen Impossible for tho party to have found a more effective representative of its policy, Labor's representatives then wont to the Democratic party. That party mado Labor's contentions Its own, It-'plodgod its candidates for ovory offlco to effect thoso reforms which Labor had ropoatodly submitted to Congress. Tho Htandard bearer of tho Democratic party, Mr. William J, Bryan, ontorod fully into tho es- Hohce of this utrugglo and doclarod that the real Issuo of this campaign Is "Shall tho pooplo rulo," Tho Republican parly and its cun- date stand for upholding and furthor oxtonding Into our country a despotic government which shall be vested In tho judiciary. The Democratic party and its candidate stand for government by law vested in the "people. ,, . As an American citizen in view of these facts, I have no choice—I have, only duty.* . Duty to preservj, with' my voice, peri and ballot, tea*, form of government for the. preservation of which Lincoln said "Mon died at Gettysburg." . Human freedom and equality of all men'before, the law is the result of the struggle of the ages, and our hoi. jest inheritance. This we must regain; this, we must extend, so that il. shall be a living, character making, conduct governing principle in our American life. ' . Labor has been and will.be accused of partisanship, but in performing a solemn duty at this time in support of a political party Labor does not. become partisan lo a political parly, but' partisan to principle. As lho campaign progresses, accusations, misrepresentations, of all imaginable kinds will come thick and fast. In answer lo them all, I have but this, to say, that men who havo given a wliole life's work to the cause of Labor, and who in all the years gone by havo been found faithful,.sincere and honest, are. not likely to change their character all of a sudden. If we woro desirous of either office or other emoluments, they both could have been obtained with greater ease from tho party iii power in the land. I have said before, and now again say that there ' is no political office' in the gift of the American people, elective or appointive, that I would, under any circumstances, accept. Not that such offices could be lightly put aside by an American citizen, but.that I believe that I can. do moro for tlie ideas which I cherish and the work in which I am engaged,, either as''an official or as ;i member in the rank and file of "the Labor movement, and the threats of politicians'to "burn'brush fires" he- hind me wherever' I may go,' to "create rebellion" in the labor movement against me and bring about my defeat for the presidency of the Federation, ' can have no influence upon my mind and can ^not alter in an> way my course.

There is no record of a single individual being shipped back. fl'ln 1896 Sir, Wilfrid Laurier sent the famous teelgram dealing with the question of Chinese exclusion,— stating that the wishes of .

Post: The increase of nearly,.35t) per.cent, Inithe. socialist voterof..l904 over that polled in 1900, together With the" enthusiasm of the,adherents of Debs in-the. present campaign, is a cause of anxiety to thoughtful watchers of political events' in' this couthry, not only as to the voting strength of the.Socialists this season, but as to the probable power of that party, in future elections. The well advised in all the other parties are cognizant of the influence of the thousands ".who are flocking to Debs'., meetings, ready to contribute money for the privilege of hearing him vociferate on socialism and the^ suits in this line, and if the hotels, benefits which he. claims will come if its principles eventuate into laws, These recruits to Debs audiences' are furnishing probable converts to the cause he advocates, and means desertions by the hundreds from the Democratic and Republican ranks. Well may the leaders of these two parties be apprehensive ofthe inroads made by the Socinilist propaganda. •In the industrial centres and wherever man does congregate for habit ln large numbers there will be found a fertile field for socialism. 'The teachings of its, intense radicalism appeal to the discontented and the dissatisfied, and to the ignorant and unfortunate who hold that the existing form of government is responsible for their material and social failures and. shortcomings,' it affords an easy and • a reassuring oxplanantion. The depression in business during the last year will bring thousands to the study and support of Socialism who- would have shunned it had the times.been better. ' '. Whether • the Socialist party .. can continue a phenomenal progress with the people - of,the country all enjoying prosperity is another question. But giving due weight to the figures of 1900 and 1904 and the size .of the vote polled in the election of 1906 by the Socialists, there is much on whicli to base the prophecy of greater strength for Debs and his followers. , . ■ ' No'"' man * can give careful thought to the. possibilities of.this increase, hear ■ the muttered apprehensions of the political wiseacres' in regard ihereto, and consider the claims of tlie. Socialists themselves without. being startled - into' the* conviction that froniinow-on-the-Socialist-party-is-to- be reckoned with in * future political contests.

A FALSE ALARM person Mondav Some careless, thoughtless did a. very foolish .thing on nigh. in order to get a crowd to alt end Lho telephone; by-law meeting, an alarm was sounded on tho' present fire gong. At the present time nothing so terrifies the people of'Fernie as a firo, and on hearing an alarm suundod so vigorously on Monday evening hundreds of citizens hurried into the. muddy streets and ran with all speed to the firo station,, only to learn that some person had used this method ot drawing together1 a crowd.

The three great methods of communication, postal service, telegraph and telephone, are. public utilities of " a very sweeping and general nature, and as such should be removed from the sphere of private control, and placed witnin reach of- all classes. The cry of the workingman not having an interest'in telephones is indeed a phantom and a myth. Once' the government"" assumes control, as it should,' of' .all' lines, and brings the rates down to a fair and moderate basis, the workingman will no doubt respond readily tb the opportunity of availing himseif, of this modern and rapid means of communication. THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES. A visitor io Fornio may discover that an election is in sight. The Liberal association has shown signs of a re-' surreotlbn to life. ,' Who has come around with the dough? At the last provincial elections the Liberals has as a candidate a working miner, but like "rats deserting a sinking ship," ihey deserted him, und helped to elect the Conservative,- W; It: Ross. Now someone has "come .through with the dough" or there would be nothing doing, for wo know that so called "Liberal" bunch would not do a' thing, unless there was a chance to "got something." . ' THE VOTE AT KOOTENAY.

If anything was to be found of graft iri his past career he-was willing^to give up his seat at once. He went, on to speak of what Liberalism had done .for the workers. The word Liberal . first came about in-1828. ' That year saw the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts.

' » Most of the" men' on night shift at No. 5 were sent back home ou Sun- " lay night. It appears that during the ' day the mechanics had been overhauling the fan engine and boiler and had not completed their job as soon as was reckoned on, consequently there wero largo" * accumulations of gas in tho workings and main road. Tho men were certainly, not iii the best . of hu-' mor. at, turning .out and then having to, return- home. There is a feeling that in a case like this the men could he warned not- to como out by an arrangement of sounds to be given von ■ the whistle, whicli at present, loudly proclaims the .time for the commencement of each shift. Such an arrangement acts successfully in other places ■and it is up, to the men, through their ■ recognized representatives', to..take up the idea with-the management. Mrs'.' Booth of ,191 introduced a lino wee daughter to tho.family circle oh "Monday morning last. Many expressions of approval'have been .heard at Coal Creek ,wlth.,regard. to what has appeared, iu the Ledger ' about,the manner of the methods of the Fernie post office' officials. The irregularity of the service has lately given just cause at this end for the . oft-heard outbursts of dissatisfaction. We are entirely dependent on Fernie for a regular "and undelayed service, that is of course after the mails have reached there, and recent events show that we are, not getting this, and fur: ther jthat .It Is at the.

The motto "Money Talks'.' was held up and the response was. sufficient to ensure the total,expense of two practices. .Keep this up boys aud the winter will be through before you know wliere you are. ' The first practice came off on Monday night and was a great success. Look out for tlie notice ,of the second event. All you who haven't yet joined do-so at once.

Howard .. .) *■ Taft of Ohio," Republican, will be inaugurated on -March i ne\t' as the twenty fifth president of the United States, succeeding President Roosevelt of New York. James S. Sherman of'New York will succeed Charles \V. Fairbanks of In-, diana as vice-president. - This is the most important thing decided by the people at the • ballot box as the culmination of one of,the most remarkable political campaigns in the history of tho republic. ■ William Jennings Bryan of- Nebraska, the Democratic candidate, went down before the storm of ballots for the third timo, and with him foil John W. Korn of Indiana, candidate-for the vice-presidency. Returns received show that'Mr. Taft will have at least 298 electoral votes, and as tiie details come in increasing fullness from the west, it begins to look as though he might have considerably more than that,-, might " even reach the 325. claimed for him before the' election by ^nairman Hitchcock of the Republican National committee before the, election; or possibly' even approximate the 33G achieved by Mr. Roosevelt., . One of the results surpassing the most sanguine hopes of most Republicans was Mr. Taft's carrying greater New,York by a plurality of 15,654, furthermore his plurality- in New York state will be approximately iS9,o34,— exceeding by nearly 14)000 Roosevelt's "plurality of 1904. 0nly__sdcond7inlrinlni-7nf- romwi-in^ To representative Wm. B. McKinley the candidate wired: "I am delighted to know that we shall have a Republican house for that is absolutely necessary for future work." "7 , 0 Timothy Woodruff sent an express sion of gratitude for the "great campaign whicli was carried on." He also expressed especial satisfaction at the election' of Governor Hughes. Some of the figures relating to the Republican slump in states which had been regarded as certainly Republican are little short of anting. Perin-. sylvania's plurality of over ,500,000 of two years ago has been cut in two. Illinois which gave Roosevelt 305,000 in. 1904, has gone ..for Taft by about 107,000. The highest claims of the Republicans for IndIanaDis, 15,000,- as against a plurality previously of 93,- 000. , . - . Iowa gave Mr. Roosevelt'* 158,000 plurality in 1904, .and has now-dropped fro' nit hat figure to about 40,000 for Taft. " Thc return of "Missouri to the Dem-. ocratic on the presidential ticket al-- so wiped oii'l • a Republican majority of 25,000 four years ago: Maryland aiid West Virginia are confidently claimed by the Republicans. - There has boon a shinkage in the Democraic vote' in several of the' southern states, notably in Virginia and North Carolina. Mr. Taft'has carried Wisconsin by a plurality estimated at 75,000, a falling off from,the Roosevelt figures of 156,000 iu 1904. ■ -. Kentucky has'gone safely for Bryan by about 15,000. Governor Johnston of Minnesota has probably been elected a table of.the electoral votes in the different states: , , governor of that state for a third, period, although, the state has gone for Taft.

P. R. Brakeman. A despatch from Toronto says: ■. "Falling between two freight cars, John A. McDermou, a C. P. II. brake- man, was mangled by the whole train passing over him, a short distance east of Myrtle, and he lives' to tell the tale.' , • , - . He dragged himself on his bleeding limbs at a distance of about 30 feel clear if the other track and up a bank and proceeded to make a tourniquet with his shoe laces to have himself from bleeding lo death. . Found by. Mate. And all this time his mates on the freight' were aware "that anything "out-or~tiro""-way~nacrTnapperiea_io_iiiiir and .the.train was going ..on;Its way until a man who was passing gave the alarm. - , ' ■ Then ..if M. Leggett, a fellow'1 brake man went back and found his 'mate gritting his teeth, and", bravely trying to stem the' flow of blood from his ... ,^ severed legs. McDermtt was still in a conscious condition and'remained so until he waB taken to tho hospital and had the limbs amputated by thc surgeons. McDermott had been in the employ of. the C. P. II. for about a year as brakeman and was at work on the morning of tho accident. It was very foggy on the tracks and In order to soo tho engineer better and give signals plainer ho wont up to within about four cars of tho engine. Fell Between Cars. In somo way in gotting in botwoon them ho fell nnd the cars wont ovor him. It wa sa long train of about thirty ears and all of thoso wltli tho exception of tlio four In front passed ovor him.

"When tho cars pawed I dragged self ovor the othor track to tho bank," said ho as ho was bolng lifted off tho train nt thn Union Btatlon nnd carried to the police ambulunco, "It, was awful work, and tho pain waa Homothlng terrible, "How I got thoro I can't say," ho wont on gritting IiIb tooth as tho pain wuh something terrible.

As thei bulletin will only come into tholiands i of a limited number of people, and t as tho story of the discovery of gold as told in it is vory interesting, we reproduce it in part. Gold was found in small (piantlties as long ago as 1830 on this island, and iu the year following a discovery wa:. mnde on Morris- boy island of tho Queen Charlotte group. About ?7."*,iH.0 worth cf me.".! was taken out of a small seam thero. Numerous reports of finds of gold in different parts of the province came to hand, but it was not until the year 1S57 that-tho'discoveries were'made that gained for British Columbia ilia name of hying a"gold producing conn try. The first authenticated discovery of placer gold on the Thompson River was about-1857,'and soon Qat ter wards rich finds al Hill Bar, near' Yale, on the Fraser River, were reported. This was the beginning of the great Fraser River excitement. It is, .stated that in 1858 bet ween, 3 5,000 and 20,000 persons embarked from San Francisco to -f*oiti,4_tn_hhV'_iift\v^I.";idor!ido:_buL_while. this was tho inauguration of gold' per day. About, 100 miners wore at ,,'vork on Williams Crook litis year — the golden yoar. The aggregate of Williams Creek for the first seven years of working, of which no record was kept, was very largo. Tn 1SG1 $200,000 worth, of gold was taken out of the Campbell discovery claims, and ! tlie adjacent Whitehall claim both of them on Lightning Creek. Attempts .were mado almost from the start to reach the deep channel of this creek out after much work were abandoned in J864. Sinking was however, resumed in 1S70, and having proved to bo very successful, led to the subsequent great developments. The rich character of the ground' on this creek may be illustrated .by stating that at one time the Butcher claim yielded 350 ounces a day, the Aurora 300 to 000 ounces, a day and the Caledonia 300 ounces." ■■ , Other placer gold discoveries were made on Stikino River, Northern Cas- siar in the sxities; in the' Oniincca district near latitude 5G dog., In 1868, in the Liard river drainage basin in 1872 and at Allin in\L89S.

Elspeth Dean "was almost" ashamed to go again into the Agency to ask the same question: '."Is there anything (for - me?" and to hear the same answer, "Nothing to-<iay." She hesitated at the 4oor a moment, but she had come out on purpose to make-the.call, and it was a confession* of "failure to steal away discouraged. Elspeth hated to faii, s.o she summoned up her courage und marched in. ', ..." ■ The same young woman1 sat at the same desk, with the saint; rather waspish,-expression on" her face. Elspeth would have envied her ii little for her secure position in life,.if it had not been for that expression. But Elspeth would.not willingly have changed hers (whicli was ■ attractive,' even in a greenish lodging house mirror, with a crack across tlie middle) for that other, in spite of the material advantages whicli might go with- it. , "Good-morning. Is. there" she had begun as usual, when the young woman with the expression" cut her short. '■ "Tlie manager will see you in her private room," she said, with a nod toward the door, succeeded instantly by a flshlike gaze of discouragement for the applicant who followed'' on Elspeth's heels. A small boy in livery/'sitting by the door in question, knocked, mentioned the name of Miss.Dean, and after a murmur from some one unseen, in- "vited Elspeth -to pass -.through. Miss Smith, the manager of the Agency, looked up from a pile of letters." *■ "Ah, Miss Dean, it's you, is it? I ■was expecting you," she remarked. "You generally come in about this time. How.would you like to go up to Scotland, and be a kind of secretary in a bis Hydro?" Elspeth's gray eyes opened. She had dreamed of nothing, more exciting than a place in a London-office, and it had appeared enormously difficult to get even • that.. But Scotland—dear, beautiful Scotland in August,- and a big Hydro! It seemed too good to be true. She was almost sure it would end' in nothing, but she did not show her lack of faith in her attainments and her luck"; she was far too shrewd a girl in spite of her inexperience, to make such a mistake. ■ "I should like it, I think," she'said ■with creditable calmness. "Exactly .what would I have to do?" - "Well, it's, not-quite.an ordinary secretarial * position,".,, 'replied. Miss Smith. "You would have to take down the manager's letters ■ from dictation, of course.- Let me"-see, what's1 your "ie next morning she-was at Eusfon Station, one small unit in a crowd for the Scotch express. 7, t When*.Elspeth was a 'little girl, "she had been taken once to Scotland to see the place where she was born, but she had not, been there since. Her father's people-had never forgiven him for marrying a pretty girl somewhere beneath him in'station, and absolutely penniless, therefore' Elspeth knew nothing about them. Major Dean h«*id left his son and daughter at school-in a suburb of London-when they were email, and Inter he'could never afford 'to take Elspeth out_to India. She had done very little traveling in her"life, and was much excited this morning.: She had not dreamed that there would be so many people going^ by train, though—she told herself—she might have thought of it. as Town was now "dead;" and everybody running up to Scotland for what was left of August ■and September. . Elspeth had a tliird class ticket,.but the crush wns so great that no plnce could be found for- her. Neither was there anything-left in the second class compartments", by the time the porter who had registered her box and taken charge of lier hnndbiig began to search for a .seat.' "You'll have to go first class, Miss," said he. . The.girl demurred. • ' "But. they.won't let me,.and I can't afford','— she- had begun,, when the'' porter broke in reassuringly: "That's all right. Miss; they'll have to let you. There's no room in the thirds or seconds, and they're bound' to carry you." ' ■' They hurried f.-om door to door, but everything wns full, until at last they came to a compartment occupied only DISSOLUTION OF PARTNERSHIP.

' - ' "What..dc.j; care'for a person of that sort?" aske'.! the "other, with a quick glance'of contempt' at pretty, ,plainlv-dresse'd Elspeth.' ."It's bad 'enough" having her stuffed in with us, without havin« to think about her, with everv word "one .speaks. She doesn't matter' any .more than one's maid .matters; indeed, she is probably someone's maid. What is the use of spendinsr a lot of. money to travel" first-ci->P3, if .-.third-class-.creatures are to be squeezed in, without ■ paying appen'ny?" "Here comes Mr'. Kenrith,'-' broke in the' girl, as ii thankful to make a diversion. ■ ■ •''.•?".' ' * ■ Instantly an extraordinary change came over her mother. "The hand: some, though rather sharp features, were softened with a charming smile, which' irradiated them ns the rose of si sun-set "(-'low irradiates a'bleak landscape in "the noitli. The dark eyes sparkled, -the frown that had drawn the straight black brows together was smoothed out. ,. She looked suddenly almost girlish and prettily feminine as she patted ■ her beautifully undulated'auburn hair. Elspeth, though angry, was inter- ,'ested. wonderiue what sort of man would appear. Tiie name, Kenrith. sounded faintly le.miliar, as if she had heard it before; but, if bo she could not lemenibar where! '= In- another second her curiosity was satisfied. , A tall, -broad-shouldered man'of about forty, with a nice brown t'uc*?. wns at tiie door. "Here I am, just in time,"- said he in a pleasant voice, which proclaimed him from the north' country. "May I reallv travel with you, Lady Lambart "aiid Lady Hilary?" "We are delighted. You won't let us be dull," replied Ladyv Lambart. The new comer 'glanced-at Elspeth, ■as if expecting to "lind that she was -an ncauaiiitance also, saw she was a stranger, and begging her pardon-as he passed took.the unoccupied seat.' . By this time'the" young typist knew whv'the name of Kenrith had sounded'familiar. She had never heard it, but she had read'.about, it in'the papers. There was a millionaire named John Kenrith, who was very charitable, and whose good works she had seen mentioned. If she remembered aright, he1 came from Lancashire, and she wondered if this nice, brown, rather ucly man were he. "If he is, I do believe this horrid woman is being sweet to him on account, of 'his- money," thought the girl,""for he 'doesn't seem her sort at all. I do -hope he sees through her.' He looks clever, but I suppose men never do see through •hands'ome.women,- especially countesses, and this evidently is one, because now I come to look at it,-that's, a Countess's coronet on her dressing bag." . ■ Elspeth had "brought a novel, and she tried.to absorb herself in it, as ,the train rushed her on toward ex- , citing new.':experiences; but the talk of her traveling companions .would entangle itself with1 that of the: characters, in the, book.- •' ' ., "It was such a pleasant surprise to hear, after we had.made up our minds—to'igo_toj.'JiOcMain,JhatJymi_ were going,"" said Lady Lambart. "I couldn't resist writing you, a line, when I heard you were at the Carlton,- to ask if. there .were any. chance 6f "your traveling'-by our train. Then. when I didn't get an answer" "I was ; away from ;town .all yesterday, and only found your note when* I got back to the hotel at'-mid-■' night, too late to wire; but of course, I sent a messenger the first thing1 this morning" . ' ■> "We must have already left, It is such a Ion? drive,- you know, and Hilary and I hnve heaps of luggage. But all's well that ends woll. Who would' have dreamed of your goinf ■to Loehrain? I thought of it because the air is so good, and it's been such a tiring season that it will: be more restful for us both than a' round o.'

Title | The District Ledger |
Publisher | Fernie, B.C. : W. S. Stanley |
Date Issued | 1908-11-07 |
Description | The Nakusp Ledge was published in Nakusp, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, from October 1893 to December 1894. The paper was subsequently published as the Ledge both in New Denver, from December 1894 to December 1904, and in Fernie, from January to August 1905. The Ledge was published by Robert Thornton Lowery, a prolific newspaper publisher, editor, and printer who was also widely acclaimed for his skill as a writer. After moving to Fernie, the paper continued to be published under variant titles, including the Fernie Ledger and the District Ledger, from August 1905 to August 1919. |
