THE SUN. GRAND FORKS, B. C. '- DRIVEN TO WEDLOCK And Handicapped by an Inheritance By ADDISON HOWARD GIBSON Copyright, 1010, by American Prut Association. Alf Bennett waa sitting at hla desk making up copy (or the Chicago Timet wben tbe postman entered and carelessly touted bim a letter. Alt was somewhat new to the business, and hit Shabby suit and rusty shoes gave evidence thut his checks, "like angels' visits," wero few and far between. Yet in spite of this tbere was un opeu. honest expression on the man's face that Inspired confidence. He picked up tbe letter, tore it open and begun rending: Los Angeles. Cal., June 20, 'OL Dear Nephew—When you read thia 1 thull be In my grave. My Arizona mines have brought me considerable wealth, and my lawyer will Inform you that I have mnde you my heir, but on one condition- that you marry May Urayson, daughter ot the man who gave his lite to save - mine when the Indiana attacked the camp twelve years ago. May I. heart free aa yet, and i have reason to believe you are the tame. My lawyer. F. B. Goodfrlend, will arrange for you to meet her. Inclosed la a check for $100. Come to California Immediately. Vour uncle, DANIEL T. ROCKWELL "Bang It!" he ejaculated as he sur veyed tbe situation. "I'd like to know bow It would seem to be u rich man. Of course anybody would. But why didn't he marry some nice woman himself and bave a family of his own* to leave bit money to? That would have left me out entirely. But—oh, plague take tbat condition!" Thinking there might be, after all, some modifying clause ln the will whereby this unnoylng feature could be avoided, he arrayed himself In a new suit, bought his ticket aud left Chicago by an early train. Arrived In Los Angeles, he Immediately sought the oflice of F. B. Ooodfriend and Introduced himself as Alfred D. Bennett of Chicago, nephew of the late Daniel T. Rockwell. "U\a<S to meet you, Mr. Bennett! Take a seat, and we will talk matters ovei." "Tbere It one feature of my uncle's will that gives me • good deal of annoyance," remarked the young man, ■eating himself near the lawyer. "Which one Is that?" "Tbe one obliging mo to marry a girl 1 have never seen. It Is perfectly ridiculous!" The lawyer laughed till bis fat sides •hook. "Why, that's tbe best part of tbe whole will!" "The worst part yon mean." said Alf desperately. "But Isn't there any modifying clause? There surely must be." "No, there Is none until yon have tried and failed to woo and win the lady of jour uncle's choice." "1 don't suppose tbe young lady likes the situation any better than 1 do." ' "I don't kuow that she does, but Miss Grayson hnd a daughter's love for your late uncle nnd humored all his vagaries," relurned Uie lawyer, trying to bide hit amusement at the young man's Irritation. "Look here. Bennett Come and alt down and we'll talk bualness. 1 admit If you please, the singularity of tbe condition, though It teems more unaccountable to you iban to me. But you would like the money yonr nncle bas left? Now. fraukly. wouldn't you?" "Of course I would." "That's honest, and I respect yon for the admission Now, listen. You have never met the girl. Who knows but an acquaintance muy prove satisfactory to both? Ai nny rule, you two must meet Tbe will specifies that. Miss Grayson Is spending the summer witb her mint, who owns a large olive orchard about tlity miles from Ihe city. 1 am an old friend of the family. Leave It all to me and I'll arrange u meeting. Toucan then tell whether Ihe condition lt entirely obnoxious ur not What do you ■ay, young man?" "I'll do nt you advise." replied Alf, who. having cooled off. was making an effort to view tbe affair In a business light. "It wou't do any harm to see the girl." Three weeks later Bennett took tbe mninlng express out of the city, bound for Ihe little station sixty miles distant Arriving there, he wus disappointed tn find no conveyance nwaiting hint and was Jnst starting for the little hotel, the only one that the place could boast, when u buggy came rapidly up to the station platform aud slopped. The agent hurried out to meet the driver, who was a slender young girl, beautiful us a wild rose, with full dark eyes uud n wealth of Imlr that seemed to reflect the warm sunshine. "Did Mr. Bennett come on the train, do you Uiinw?" she inquired In a sweet clear voice "Mrs. Grayson tent me to meet her guest." "I am Mr. Bennett." said tbe trav* eler, stepping forward and lifting his bat to the fulr driver. "I have come to dMve you to Mm. Grayson's," returned the girl. "Thank you." And he sprang ln lightly and tented himself by her tide. "Do you wltb me to take tbe reins?" he asked. "Ob. no, thank yon! Rllly objects to strangers," she replied. "Too bad I hnve put you lo the trouble of coming to far. though," said the young mnn. stealing a sidewtse glance at the lovely face so close to hit own. "I dou't mind the drive at all. Be- sldjis, 1 was almost obliged to come," ahe admitted wltb cburmtng frank neap. "1 hope you are going io enjoy your visit, Mr, Bennett I know mam- ma and May will do all tbey can to make your stay pleasant" "Hp you are Miss Grayson also? 1 didn't know tbere were two Mist Graysons." "Yet, two May Graysons. But I nm commonly called Made to distinguish ine from my more dignified Cousin May." Two May Graysons! It was strange tbat Lawyer Goodfrlend bad not mentioned tbat fact to him before he came. "Mazle! Sbe ts a perfect little bundle of sweet mystery," thought Alf. "If tbe May Grnvsnn referred to ln tbe will la but half as blight and winsome as tnis girl by my side I won't find It such a hard mutter to live up to that condition after all. And yet 1 don't know that I really want to live up to It now tbat I bave seen Mazle." Mr. Alfred Bennett found a very cordial welcome awaiting bim at the pleasant borne of Mrs. Grayson. Ma; Grayson—the May-was a nice looking stately girl of twenty-one, with a beau- tlful crown of nut brown hair and clear, expressive gray eyes. She was bright and Intelligent, nnd be was forced to admit after an hour spent tn her company that tbere was nothing of the mining cnmp style In ber manners. He liked her very well. too. and might have fallen In love wltb ber If he had not met Mazle first Bright merry Mazle! She charmed him more and more at days and weeks went by. And yet abe studied to avoid him In every possible way. and the succeeded almost always In forcing bim Into Ihe company of her cousin, thus escaping any marked attention he might with to pay to herself. But this scheming on her part did not lead young Bennett to bestow nny warmer affection on Mlat May. Ere long he made the discovery that his life would be an Intolerable failure If be was obliged to live lt without Mazle. Tbe at niggle between this love and the desire to gain possession of his deceased uncle's wealth wat over, and as be arose one morning be announced to himself. "May Grayson may bave half the' money and the orphan aaylum the other half for all I care! I'll be tme lo tbe love tbat hat crept Into my heart I'll marry Mnzle tf I can win ber. Wltb her by my tide I ahall be brave and strong enough to earn my own wealth." Bavlng thus decided In bis own ; mind, the young man set out for a I stroll through the pretty little meadow. Suddenly lie mine upon a liny figure ; In white. "Gut fur a morning constitutional, Mr. Bennett?" sbe Inquired, "lt It an Ideal morning, as Cousin May would say." "You are always thrusting 'Cousin May' at me." Alf retained, with some ■light Irritation. "But it la you 1 wish to speak witb this 'Ideal morning.' I am going to leave tonight and I muat say something to you before 1 go." "We'd be sorry to have you leave us wltb anything burdening your mind. Mr. Beunett." "You know, I suppose, why I came here?" "1 believe to," she aaid. "Well. 1 wnnt to Inform you that the condition In my uncle's will can never be compiled witb uow." "Is that so?" cuiue from her lips ln feigned surprise. "It will be such a pity for you to lose the fortune." "Yes, but 1 huve learned tbnt there Is something better than riches. It is love. Mnrie, 1 cannot begtu lo tell you how tenderly 1 love you. 1 waul you to be my wife." "Wliti I: After all the attentions you have lieen showing Cousin Muy'/" "You nre responsible for those 'attentions.' How else could It be wben you persisted In throwing us together so often'/" "1 think you are very fickle." "No: I nm very constant I haven't ceased loving you a single minute since I first snw you. Can't yon love me just a little, Mazle?" "I'm afraid not." "Won't you try to love me, dearest?" "I don't need to try, Alf." she replied, looking up Into bla face wltb a shy smile. "You sweet deceiver!" he cried, catching her ln hts arms and pressing her to bis heart "You were fooling me all the time." "Yes, for, much ai I waa growing to love you, I resolved not to let you know." tbe tsld, freeing herself from bis anna, "because, you see— Oh. there Is Mr. Goodfrlend!" she cried, rushing forward to greet the lawyer, who hud come unannounced. "Oh. I taw It all, children," he said, shaking hands first wltb Mazle, tben with Alf. "1 didn't cover my eyes. 1 came unexpectedly on tbe night express and got here In time for breakfast Mrs. Grayson told me I'd find you both down by tbe meadow. I arrived In time to see tbat you two have come to an understanding." "Yes, air," said Alf decidedly. "I've concluded to enjoy love In a cottage wltb Mazle rather than tnke Miss Grayson with all ray uncle's money." "Love In a cottage! Oh. the refreshing youth!" And Goodfrlend broke Into a hearty laugh. In which Mnzle could nol help joining. "Pardon me. Bennett." snid the lawyer, wiping tbe mirth abed tears from bis eyes, "but you are the victim of your own blunder." • "Blunder? I don't understand you. sir," said Alf. "Of course not!" And the lawyer went off Into another convulsion of laughter. "This sprite, whom you took to he the daughter of Mrs. Grayson because of a pet way she hns of calling her 'mnnimn,' Is tbe true Muy Grayson referred to ln your uncle's will."

When it comes to imbuing her children with simple tastes, Queen Marv, of England, surely has all other royal mothers "stopped." A certain young woman, who is a great iavorite with the royal children, Whom she knows through their French governess, re ceived an evidence of the length to which the Queen goes in this respect. The young woman in question, when the little Prince John, a special pet of hers, was ill a short time ago. begged to be allowed to send him a Teddy beir, to replace a worn-out one he had been in the habit of taking to bed with him, after the fashion of many children, royal and otherwise The Queen consented that the prince should accept the gift and the. friend straightway purchased the largest, fattest and most elaborate Teddy bear possible, which she despatched to the palace. Her surprise was great when the bear came buck again to her with a little note from the Queen saying that she always liked the children to have only the most unpretentious toys, and that as Prince John's last Teddy bear was but a quarter of the size of the present one she consider*! it would be better to have the same kind. The astonished young woman hurriedly exchanged the large, re bust and costly Teddy ior a most modest specimen ol the breed. The same treatment is accorded Princess Mary. Her dolls have alway* been of a simple kind, and she is required to make their clothes herself, in the intervals ot stitching flannel petticoats for the poor, with which task she occupies much of li/f time. The Birth of Reform Schools. The first reform school for juvenile delinquents was probable the one. or ganized at Metray, near Louvre, France, about the year 1839 by M. de Tetz, a noted councillor of Paris M. de Tetz found in some wealthy noblemen the financial assistance he needed to materialize his idea, mil the school was started with the moot teneliceut results. The idea was tak-.ii hold of in other quarters not only ol France, but of other continental countries and the enthusiasm created by the work resulted in the grand "conference of the reformatory union," the real beginning of our present day work in behalf of juvenile delinquents. Tht Hours ef ths Day. The ancient Egyptians divided the day and night into twelve hours each, a custom adopted by the Jews and Greeks probably from the Babylonians. The day was first divided into hours in Rome by L. Papirius Cursor, who about B.C. 293 erected a sun dial in the temple ol Quirinus. Prior to the invention ol water clocks (IM B.C.) the time was called nt Rome by public criers. In England in early times the measurement of time was uncertain. One expedient was by wax candles, three inches burning an hour and six wax candles burning twenty- tour hours, or a day. His Last Breath. The reflections upon the value of breath, writes a correspondent, recall an old riddle whicli asked what it was that no mnn wished to take and nu man wished to give up. The answer was, His last breath. Charles Lamb had an epicurean desire concerning his own last breath, hall of which at any rate comes home to many of us. Macreudy heard him express the hope that he might draw it in through a fiipe and exhale it in a pun. Certa'n- y tlmt would be the most precious breath on record.—London Chronicle A Rain Trap. In a lime of distressing drought, says n writer in The Yorkshire Post, a harassed amateur agriculturist stepped into a shop to buy a barometer. The shopman was giving u tew stereotyped instructions ubout indications and pressures when the purchaser impudently interrupted him.

Aids Nature The great tneeesa of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery in coring weak stomachs, wasted bodies, weak lungs, and obstinate and lingering coughs, is based on the recognition of the fundamental truth that "Golden Medical Discovery" supplies Nature with body-building, tissue-repairing, muscle-making materials, in condensed and concentrated form. With this help Nature supplies thc neceatiry strength to the stomach to digest food, build up the body tnd thereby throw off lingering obstinate coughs. The "Discovery" re-establishes the digestive and nutritive organs in sound health, purifies tnd enriches the blood, and nourishes the nerves—in short establishes sound vigorous health.

Middleton in This Oity Last Friday Mr. Middleton dwelt on the importance of selecting proper orchard stock and planning the laying out an orchard as absolute essentials to secure a good foundation for future growth. He advocated one-year- old trees as the best to plant, as old trees would throw fruit buds when planted instead of making wood growth. The very best stock should be selected, being the cheapest in the end. He advised growers to plant locally grown stock, or if not obtainable, trees grown under similar climatic conditions. To be good, the stock should be well grown ond ripened. He favored ordering in the fall for spring delivery, as nurserymen have much better facilities for wintering stock than have prospective growers. He would not advise planting dwarfs for commercial purpoees; they were all right where space was limited and only a few trees were required for domestic use. He favored, however, dwarfing to a certain extent the ordinary standard trees, so aB to throw them into bearing earlier and keep them within a size convenient for spraying and picking the fruit. Tbere were four ways of laying off an orchard—the square, with the trees the same distance apart each way; the square, with fillers one way in the rows; the square, with fillers in tlie centre of the squares, commonly known ns the quincunx system, giving about 100 trees to the acre, and the hexagonal or tri angular system, in which the trees were planted in equilateral triangles Of these] systems he preferred the quincunx or the square, with fillers cine way. He believed in fillers himself, as they served to tide the grower over the financial difficulties of the long period of waiting for the trees^to come into full bearing. Some (people opposed them on the ground that most growers lacked the courage to remove them when necessary, b il lie thought growers usually had| more sense ami would remove fillers a' soon as their presence become injurious to the other trees. He con-i sldered 30x80 feet, with fillers one way in the rows, making .'10x15 feet, the best distance apart to plant trees. Referring io pollinization, be said it was important in setting out an orchard to have at least two varieties iu order to be on the safe side; and to secure cross-fertilization, not more than four or five rows of any one variety should be planted to gether, that is, an orchard should he set out in belt's of not more than four or five rows of ond variety. Bees were very important in this connection. For laying out an orchard be ad voeated a simple system of pegs and a piece of wile, the use of which he illustrated with a diagram. As to the question of fall vs. \ spring planting, he favored the lat- ter, as it was difficult to get ripened ' stock in the fall. If the planter had mme lime in thc fall than in thc spring, it might bu worth while risking it to plant in the fall; but the springtime was undoubtedly the best, as the trees that were planted in thc fall had to undergo the winter without having made a proper start, and as evaporation went on in winter the same as at other seasons, their roots were apt to dry out before they had a chance to start in the spring. Time could he gained, in the case of heavy soil, by digging the holes in the fall, so as to permit tbe frost to pulverise the ground and mellow it for planting in the spring. Some people dug a hole from four to five feel in diameter when planting. but that was quite unnecessory, as a much smaller hole would give just good results. The idea was, no doubt, to loosen the soil so that the roots could penetrate, but in heavy soil this could he accomplished much better hy thorough sub-soiling than by digging a wide hole, the boundaries of which the roots would soon reach and then stop. Blasting had proved very successful in loosening up gumho soil, and could he done at an expense of two or three cents a tree. He believed that 25 per cent of v the trees planted in lhe province die from some cause, the majority due to errors in planting. He warned growers against shallow planting, which would produce an annual crop of suckers or water sprouts, that would continue to be a nuisance during the life of tbe tree. He illustrated with a sketch the proper depth of planting, which, in light sandy soil, should be from four to five inches deeper than the level at which the soil surrounding the trunk of the tree as it stood iii the nursery, and about three inches deeper in clay soil. The reason for this is, that after planting the loose soil gradually sinks, and if the tree is put in at the same level as it stood in the nursery the roots will become exposed, resulting in the growth of suckers. A point that should be carefully attendeil to was, tbat every root should be freshly cut on the under side hefore planting, so to stimulate growth of fibrous roots. In forming the tree, it should be headed at the height of ahout two feet, and the first branch should be permitted to grow about twelve inches from the ground on the southwest side, for the prevention of suu scald. Four side hranches antl a leader were usually enough to form the head the first year. He did not advocate putting water in the hole when planting the tree. I The gr mini should he moist. If dry, I putting .water in tlie hole would do1 little guild, as it would soon he absorbed by the thirsty soil. He would not plant stone fruits intermixed with apples, as the seasons of growih were different and they required different treatment, nnd therefore they should be kept to themselves. He would plant fruit trees ahout thirty feet apart. BOARD OF TRADE Special Mealing Endorses Request From Vernon by Light Vote E. E.

Munro returned to his liome in Vancouver on Thursday, after a week's visit with friends in this city. Mr. and Mrs. fleo. Chappie and son relurned lo Spokane yesterday, lifter Spending a week with friends here. A special meeting of the hoard of trade was held on Tuesday evening for the purpose of taking action on a telegram from the Vernon board of trade in reference to striding a joint delegation to Ottawa to make representations against placing fruit and farm produce on tbe free list, and to transact other business. President Hood occupied the chair. Tbere was a good attendance of business men, and three or four fruit growers were also present. VV, K. C. Manly, chairman of the committee appointed at the last meeting lo forward resolutions lo lhe Dominion and provincial governments urging that construction on the postoffice and courthouse build- ings be started at once, reported that resolutions to this effect had been send to the Hon. Mr. l'ugsley and Martin Burrell, M.P., at Ottawa, and to the Victoria government, As far as he was aware, nothing had yet been done ut the coast that would indicate that the government had any intention of starting work on thc courthouse in the immediate future. President Hood suggested that the committee make further efforts lo induce the authorities to commence building operations as soon as possible, and on motion of Mr. Manly the same committee was instructed to renew its reprelalions lo tlie two governments. Geo. Clark staled that information had been received iu this city that the resolution bad been presented to the Ottawa government by Mr. Burrell. The Grand Forks lender for the postoffice, he said, was still being considered by the department, and if the figures in il could be reconciled with the figures originally prepared by the chief architect, the contract would ha let at once and construction would commence at as early a date as possible. Mr. Hood reported Having been in communication with Mr. Miller, superintendent of Kootenay disvi- sion of the C.P.R., at Nelson, in reference to the road making this city a divisional point. The own- mitlee hud decided to let the mallei rest until Mr. Miller visited thc city. The request Irom the Vernon board of trade was then taken up and thoroughly discussed. President Hood said he had discussed the contents of tbe telegram wilh a nuniher of fruit growers, and had decided to call a special meeting of thc hoard. Those who were opposed to fruit and farm produce being placed on lbe free lisl and those who favored thu treaty as negotiated by thc two governments, appeared to be equally divided, judging from those who expressed their views. While it is true that the request from Vernon was endorsed, it is equally 'that all' but about half a dozen of those pres- cut refrained from voting. Had a secret ballot been taken, and everyone compelled to vote, the result would probably have been reversed. Mr. Kerman said, that, taking pph's alone, he was not prepared to say whether the treaty would benefit us or not. He said the American growers shipped No. 2 apples to the Northwest and marked them No. 1. More 'Dominion frrutt inspectors should be appointed. This district should stand hy the other fruit growing sections of the province. J. D Honsberger, the most extensive fruit grower in the valley, felt no fear in regard to apples. lie thought the British Columbia apple could compete in any market. But he was afraid the treaty would be detrimental to prunes and vegetables; John Donaldson said the Btroug est competition the British Columbia growers met with in the Northwest came from Ontario. An inferior quality of fruit was send out i west from that province. Jeff Davis, VV. K. C. Manly and N. L, Mclnnes expressed opinions in favor of the treaty, while N, D. Mcintosh thought that British Columbia fruit required protection.

Editor Evening Sun, Victohia, Feliriifiiy 13—The department of agriculture, being able to giant the application of the Grand Forks Fruit Growers' association for a fruit packing school, ha< arranged that one will be held at Grand F'orks Maich 16 to 21, both inclusive. There will be morning sessions commencing at !):3U and afternoon sessions at L':l)0, making a total of twelve lessons of two and one- half hours each. The attendance is limited to sixteen pupils and the fee is 83.00. It is expected that fruit growers and fruit packers will take advantage of this fruit packing school to become more fully ac- juainted wilh the theory and practice of modern fruit packihg. The department is fortunate iu securing the services of James Berkley, ol the Okanagan Fruit union, who has given excellent satisfaction not only as a practical fruit packer but as an instructor in the fruit packing schools at Yakima valley and iu tbe Okanagan. To any one taking up the remunerative work of fruit packing no better opportunity to become acquainted with the art can he had. Those desiring to join should present their names to James liooke as Boon as possible. It. M. Winslow, Horticulturist. NEWS OF THE CITY Wm. Bonthron, N.

THE SUN, GRAND FORKS, B. f». ; Coverly *s Substitute | Appearances Were Against Him. By CLARISSA MACWE. Copyright. 1910. by American Press Association. "I'm sorry, Eliabetb," said Ralph Coverly. "that 1 must go to Chicago on business fur tlie firm ot Fabens & Coverly." "Never tulnd, Ralph. My one weelt baa beeu lovely, aud I shall enjoy spending a quiet time with yonr mother." "Mother will be delighted to have you witb her constantly. An Invalid's days are dull enough. Rut there Is an elderly aunt coining tomorrow, und I'm afraid you'll not Hud It very amusing wltb Just Aunt Agatha and mother. I've thought of a plan so tbat you might enjoy the program we planned and uol mlsa uuy of the concerts or art galleries ur even tbe up- "VVhat Is thut. dear? Really, uai. ot the anticipated pleasure wus tbe knowledge thut we were to be together." Ralph hesitated, and tben, as If dismissing some unWiii.Uy duubt from his mind, he suid quickly: "Why, I've spoken to Fabens, He's a mighty clever chap uud Is better versed lu all lhe things you're Interested In than I am, I'm such u practical fellow. Elizabeth. Well. I told Fabens all the Ibiugs I'd planned we were to do the eumiiig week uud asked him to see that you didn't miss any of the pleasures." "It's very thoughtful of yon. Ralph." The next morning when Elizabeth wandered downstairs tu a late breakfast she found the expected Aunt Agatha established at Ihe head of the table. She wns n stern vlsaged Indy whose hair remained it shining liltn I; ln defiance of threescore yeurs. She wore gold spectacles with thick lenses, which magnified her dark eyes with startling results. An eur trumpet dangled from a ribbon over her shoulder, much like a powderburo at the buck of a hunter. "Good morning. Miss- Nenl-or shnll I say Elizabeth? My niece has written of you. and I've seen your picture If you'll excuse my saying su, you're sot at all tbe sort of girl I thought Ralph would marry! He always pre ferred brunettes, like myself. Well men are fickle as the weather! It's too bad Mary Is confined to her room Tou will be very lonely." Miss Dale paused to tnke breath. "Mrs. Coverly will enjoy bavlng some one with her. She Is so murb alone except for the nurse." said Elizabeth. "I can't hear a word you say." asserted Ml«s Dale calmly. "It doesn't mntter. I can always guess what people nre talking ubout at table. You probably remarked that you wouldn't be lonely nt all daring Ralph's absence. I know Dlek Fabens, my dear, and a more fascinating mnn I never met. Ralph Is very foolish to leave you In Dick's enre. But, there, every | one has bis consolations, and thnt little dark beauty Ralph wns so crazy about Inst year lives In Chicago. There, there! Don't get emotional!" Elizabeth, angry and amused, watch ed her nnd when she wns nlnne finished her breakfast nnd retired to her j own room. I.nt-r her brief morning visit to sweet Mrs. Coverly brought forth the fact that Aunt Agatha hnd | arrived frnm her suburban home nt uu ■ early hour that morning. She hnd sur- veyod Ihe bouse from nttle to eellnr ' nnd had Interviewed the nurse and lhe servants with praiseworthy results. Mrs. Coverly smiled Indulgently nnd | tonehed Elizabeth's serious face wilh a delicate forefinger. "Aunt Agnlhn Is an angel nt heart, Elizabeth, but her deafness has accentuated certain oddities In her manner, and abe has adopted a freedom uf speech tbat Is sometimes alarming. Don't forget. I shall ex|iect you to come In for onr game of chess every evening If you don't mind devoting so much time to un uld womnn." Elizabeth's nnswer was to kiss the hand thnt caressed her, and tbe next half hour was one of delightful Intimacy wlili the mutber of her prospective huslinnd. Aunt Agntlin at luncheon was a repetition of Aunt Agatha at breakfast, and her deeply voiced monologue left the girl with a strange sense of desolation. For the first lime since her engagement to Ralph there crept Into her heart a vngue disquiet ns to his perfect loyalty. Who was this dnrk beauty nf whom Aunt Agatha Dale babbled? Two o'clock brought Dick Fabens with tickets for a matinee, and. ns Aunt Agatha was too rheumatic to so tar afield. Elizabeth went alone with umpire partner. During tneir mm ride In the carriage Elizabeth learned that Mr. Fabens was feeling much better and thnt the simple program Ralph had laid out appealed to hli convalescent body and mind as nothing else could. Dick Fabena was fascinating. Older than Ralph, he was attraetlve by rea- i ion nf his contrasting gray hair and ' youthful face. He wn itrnngely «ym- i pathetic, tn Elisabeth, and ihe found ! herself leaking te him for confirmation I ef ill her delight In each pleasure thnt I eime te her In the days that follow*,! He did not flirt with her: ue did nnt make love to her. He wus simply natural and unaffected, uud by very reason of ber enforced solitude nt tbe Coverly home Elizabeth turned to him for congeniality and pleasure during those seven days. Auut Agaihu suddenly disapproved of Dick Fabens' attention and expressed her opinion each mornlug. Elizabeth came to take a wicked delight in listening to those lectures, aod frequent meutlou of tbe dark beauty in Chicago and Ralph's weakness in that direction hardened ber heart against tbe absent lover. His daily letters were characteristically short, and her jealous eyes read between tbe lines thut be was enjoying his stay In tbe Windy City, Then on Thursday the letters censed coming, aud Elizabeth stopped 'writing. On Saturday morning she took counsel in ber own room and decided that Ralph Coverly was tired of her. if he bad uot been. If be bad really eared fur her, would he not have hesitated at leaving a substitute for bis own escort? Wus it uut lo Justify bis own attentions to this other girl—whose name Aunt Agaiba had once admitted to be Elsle-tbat be had provided a substitute? Fubens spoke little of bis partner beyond saying that tbe eoveW contract had been secured by Ralph. Saturday mornlug Elizabeth went back tu the boarding school, where sbe wus a teacher of music, but before sbe went she inclosed her engagement ring lu u tluy box. registered it uud sent it to Ralph's office, with a brief note explaining ber action. "It hus all been a mistake." she suid. Aunt Aguthu's farewell of her was prolonged uud affectionate at tbe late breakfast, several hours after the ring aud letter had been sent. "Ooodby, my dear Elizabeth. I've learned to love yuu deurly, and I've watched you closely during tbe past week while Dick Fabens has lieen taking you out. and you nre u most unusual girl. Ralph has won a treasure Indeed. We would have been so un- happy If he bud eared fur thut Elsie girl who set Iter cup fur him last yeur. It's u guud thing she elo|ied with her chauffeur uud weui to I'ai'ls, j for"- And so on until Elizabeth's [ brain reeled witb the horror ut wiiut she had dune. Her furewell to Mrs. Coverly was tearful and brief, but sbe did uol dure divulge the fuct of her broken engagement to the womau wbo bud taken the motherless girl to her wurm heart. At Ferncliff the weeks passed drear. Ily without word from Ralph. I Here was a picture postcard fnun Aunt Agatha, wbo had returned to ner j hunie. saying she trusted the missive j found Elizabeth io goud health, ibem Elizabeth mailed u card to Miss Dale j uud honed tbut ludy wns quite wen, and su euded ber connection with the Coverly family. There came a day several months '| afterward when she received cards for Dick Fabens' wedding to some! girl from New Orleans. She laid It away witb u Utile sigh. It was merely an echo uf the happy life she had dropped out of. Sbe blamed herself I bitterly for listening to Aunt Agatha's Inane chatter and knew thai sbe hnd i wronged Ralph. And yet there was tbe fact that be had ceased writing I to ber. Thnt might be easily explain-1 ed. Letters ofteu miscarried. Theie] was no excuse for her doubt of ber lever's constancy, She ought to have trusted him against everybody lu the world, even as be would have dime ! had Ihe ense been reversed. That same day was a half holiday, | and Elizabeth, weary with the strain of teaching nnd very unhappy, stole I away to spend the afternoon alone in | the beautiful chestnut woods that stretched behind tbe school buildings. The trees were In their summer glury of gold nnd brown, and through the scanty follnae tliere were glimpses of the clear blue sky. Where lhe trees! fringed the banks of the tumbling I river Elizabeth found a seat on a mossy rock. f \ The rustling of the river drowned all j other sounds, nnd It wns not until lie stood beside her that Elizabeth knew I Ralph Coveifly had come ut Inst. From j very Joy In his presence ahe wns pow-1 eriess to move. He looked down at her, pale nnd \ worn nnd quite unlike bis usual buoyant self. "Elizabeth." he said desperately, "I've Just had Fabens' Invitation. If It Isn't he. wbo Is It?" "Who Is who?" asked Elizabeth weakly, her voice breaking as he caught her hand. "The one who came between us." aaid Ralph hoarsely. "iunt Agaiba hinted—she wrote—It was Fabens, and you were both so happy, so I stopped writing and came home to find the ring and your letter. I was a beast to Fabens—thought he had cut me out with you—and then he stiffened up, and we've hardly been on speaking terms outside of business. Then this morning I found hla wedding Invitation tn my mall, and ao I came down to find out who the other man Is. I would have staked my life on your faith, Elizabeth!" "You may now. Walt, Ralph, till I tell you all," sobbed Elizabeth. But Ralph did not wait His arms were about her and her sunny bead on his shoulder while she poured out the misunderstanding and misery of those seven days. "It's turned out for the best, dear," he comforted her. "This contract was a big thing, and so I am not going to wait another week for you. June Is too far away. Give up your position and come. Mother needs you, and I do not dare run the chance of having to provide another substitute." "Or another visit from Aunt Agatha," said Bttubeth devoutly. DANGERS OF RUNNERS. Owen Sound—A Town.

Shortly after his return Irom the front be was sitting in the Carlton Hotel, London, surrounded by an admiring throng ol iair cousins, who looked upon him as a hero. Altogether he was quite pleased with himsell, he snys. A brother actor, whom he had not seen for some time, happened to pass, and, looking at the battle-stained actor, remarked, "Halloa, old chap, you are looking tit! Been at Brighton?" Mr. Loraine tells another story against himself. In his early theatrical days it waa the custom ol one of the managers to criticize every individual performance at each new town the company visited alter the tall of the curtain on the stage. One night he did not say anything to young Loraine. He reminded the manager of his omission by saying, "Aa you did not say anything about my performance, 1 take it it was all right." Then came Uie icy reply, "1 did not aay anything about your show, because what I have to say to you 1 must say in private." A Dramatic Situation.

Football owes its origin to the Romans, who played with a ball of cloth or leather stuffed with flocks, called harpastum, or with a windbag, called follis. It is not possible, says an English writer, to produce any direct evidence ol the progress or popularity of tho game in England prior to the year 1175. lt is fairly conclusively established, however, that lootball goes back several centuries lurther than cricket. In 1175 William Fitsstephen, writing in his history ol London, mentions the fact that it was the habit of the young men of the city to piny at the well-known game of ball after dinner. And there can be no doubt that this game was football, but what its outstanding features were can only be a matter of guesswork. The game was confined to the lower classes; no rules existed for its control; the contests seem to have been more in the nature ol general scrambles, the goals being placed at either end of u town or street; and the number of players seem to have been unlimited. Although popular, it met with opposition from the authorities. Edward II., in 1314, lorbade lootball under pain of imprisonment, owing to the "great noise in the city caused by hustling over large balls, from which many evils might arise, which tiod forbid." The game, nevertheless, pro gressed. In 1315 Edward III. ordered his sheriffs to suppress "such idle practices," because "the skill at shooting with arrows was almost totally laid aside for the purpose ot various useless and unlawful games." But so persistent were the popular classes in this almost national pastime that Richard II. and his successors had to continue to proclaim against "tennisse, footballe, and other games." This determined persecution had no appreciable effect, however. The people persisted in the game they loved better than the law. James III. of Scotland also found it nece*sary to order quarterly practices of arms when "footballe and golfe be utterly cryed down and not to be used." Flayed almost exclusively by the ignorant and rough, tabooed by the upper classes, accompanied by frequent deaths and serious injuries occasioned by the excessive brutality and ruffianism displayed, lootball was as deservedly persecuted in those days a* it is encouraged and patronized by royalty to-day. That the game was still unlawful in the time ol Elizabeth is evidenced by the lact that a Middlesex jury brought in a true bill against a number of persons who "with unknown malefactors to the number of 11 assembled themselves unlawtully and played a certain un- lawlul game called foote-ball, by means of which unlawful game there was amongst them a great affray likely to result ill homiudes and serious accidents." Stoubbs, in his "Anatomy of Abuses in the Leulm nf England," deserire- football as a devilish pastime, resisting in brawling, murder and grent el- lusion of blood. Yet so far tht> gauie was more handball than football, '/'he gradual refinement and regulation o< t'.'.e game resulted in a decreasn of iti" popularity, so thnt at the beginning of the nineteenth century the game al most disappeared altogether. Thee the lending public schools took up the game, each in its own particular style. In 1855 the Blnckhe.ith and Richmond clubs were lormed, and in 1?83 the Football Association. In 1877 the number of players was reduced fioni 20 to 15. ■piso'S ^THE BEST MEDICINE Deathless Devotion Rita—Dad, I think Jack really loves me, he comes so regularly. Dad—Yes.

The discovery ol remains, apparently th_.se ol a hippopotamus, a bison and other great beasts, in the peaceful County of Cambridgeshire, England, is nn event of some interest and perhaps of some scientific interest. It is well known, of course, in prehistoric ages the mammoths roamed England Many remains ol those early inhabitants of our isles have been found and more will probably be found when further excavations are made. In pnrtiriiiir, we remark in passing, that the great plain at Mdorshot seems to offer pood opportunities to the scientific enquirer, for few who have examined it in even a cursory munner can doubt that it was at one time an inland sea, and Ihis view is supported hy the discovery of shells in many exposed parts of the neighborhood. Re that as It may, the evidence that the hippopotamus made his horn? in Ihe neighborhood of the present University of Cambridge seems conclusive, although he prudently disappeared long before the first professor appeared on the scene to disturb his haunts by the inconvenient scier'iflc enquiries that occasionally embarrass the modern undergraduate. England was in those days a tropical country, and evidently joined to the continent by a strip of land that has since disappeared, but the boggy lands of the Fen district need not otherwise have changed much until they were drained, for the soft, marshy soil and pools would offer a suitable home to the hippopotamus.

One, two, three, smq out, CHURCH SERVICES FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1911 It is a fundamental principle of all popular governments that legislators should enact laws for the greatest beneflt ofthe largest number of people; and it is generally conceded that the reciprocity treaty will accomplish this end. It is admitted that the western farmer will be benefited by a reduction ofthe tariff on farm implements and tho unobstructed entry of his products into the United States; the eastern fisherman will secure a larger market for the product of his toil, audi tho consumer in every section of the country will be given a better opportunity to trade in the cheapest market, which will in Jill probability reduce the present high cost of living. Yet the treaty • is being vigorously opposed in this province, where the tariff wall and high freight rates have! hoisted the prices of the neces-; sarins to an outrageous altitude. The politicians—who essay to speak for tlie fanner —say that the treaty, if ratified, will ruin our agricultural industry. They say this, because tney realize that if thev can succeed in defeating the agreement thoy will bc storing up political capital which may stand them in good stead in the future, lint the ranchers themselves are offer- ing no serious objections to tlie treaty. In this valley, which has in recent years gained an enviable reputation for the excellent fruit it produces, we Jjave yet to meet a rancher who believes that the apple growing industry will be adversely affected. The largest fruit grower in the valley h is expresso I himself as feeling conti lent that the agrivan'lit will not injure that branch of horticulture; but ho feel • Bolicitous concerning the future of prune culture.

Slijit. 1, I'll. at Washington mi Tuescluy overwheluiing umjurity: The blue bonk tabled in the hmi of cutiiiiiiMis mi Munfliiy respitoting i e reciprocity agreement and its probable effect u|inii the relatiens of the two countries eoneenie.l furnishes some in teresting information at this pailiru-' Iar time, when the subjout is being widely discussed. Tlie figures for the probable reduo-' tions are bused upon the trade returns for the past yeaiyind while it is hoped that Canada's business will greatly increase during the coining twelve months, the statistics employed nevertheless constitute a fair means of estimating the results of n year's opera tion under the contemplated agreement. Under the schedule which now culls for the abolition of all duties,. Canada will lose in revenue to the amount, of 1,-11^,219, while tho total loss on the entile agreement will reach S2,ou7, 624. Of the amount this country loses by the wiping out of all duties, thc free importation of United fcilutcs products will amount to Sl,2!Jo,lil 1; Britain, ¥62,829; Hritish colonies, S2'J,2i2, and favored nations, §21,- 5iiT. The Canadian consumer gets the benefit of all these reductions. Under Schedule li, which admits articles into Canada at a W_te similar to that placed upon our exports into the United .States, and under Schedule I), which fixes special rates for American exports to this country, the total revenue loss to Canada will reach $1,095,605, the United States accounting for 81,068,251 of this amount. Canada, it will be seen, reduces its turilf duties a_.uim_t the United States to .the extent of #2,868,763. What does the Dominion secure in return for this concession? The total reduction ou Canadian products going into the States is $4,840,033 under tlie terms of the new agreement. Of this sum the gain to Canada under Schedule A, which wipes out all duties, is #4,236,988; under Schedule H, which admits articles to the United States at the same rale at whicli they enter Canada, the gain to this country's exporters is S2.'>l,!)'vl2, while uu der Schedule O, which culls fui special rates, our gain is #377,961. In other words, the reciprocity agreement means in dollars and cents that Canada is gettina the long cud of a bargain, which will prove to the advantage of both parties concerned,to the extent of the difference between $4,840,933 and $2,363,768, Disre- urding the advantage that must ensue fur the /'consumer, tlie producer and lhe exporter the agreement is one that should appeal even to tliose who consider the financial aspect of such matters lirst and the effect upon the general prosperity of the country only when such an agreement Bervea to sup port the original premise, Nothing in the agreement would seem to justify the statements made in opposition lo il thai "it will weali- thi' imperial tiu" or "result in Canada's annexation by the United Hotel C°lin Opposite Great Njrihern Station ^T&'HOTQk___L____.il:V'•'■- ^^I^RwaHH^^ Keo^ntly qomiileted mid newly lornl-ihod tiirough* out.

Fruit In Britain Has Been an Objett Lesson, The successful shipment of Canadian peaches en a commercial scale to the markets of Great Britain, will mark the year 1010 as the beginning of a new phase in the development ol the tender fruit industry in Canada. There has been extensive planting ol peach orchards during the past few years, and notwithstanding the enlarged market in the Northwest, the crop has now reached such proportions, or at least it will in a year or two, that there will be no encouragement to increase the peach acreage, unless some other outlet is in sight. Thc Dominion Department of Agriculture, ns represented by the Dairy and Cold Storage Commissioner, ear- ly In the season made arrangements to purchase a quantity of peaches to be packed in single layer cases, each peach to lie wrapped in paper and surrounded with wool. The packing was done under the direct supervision of an officer of tha Department. The contract with the growers, as represented by the St. Catharines Cold Storage .'. Forwarding Co , was for 2,000 cases, but, ow- in.j to stormy weather and other causes, only 1,200 cases were ready in time. Three varieties have been shipped, namely, "Early Crawford," "Old Mix- on" and "Klherta." These have all been landed in good condition. The packing has been reported as perfect. In some cases it was necessary to hold the peaches for a few days to allow them to ripen. The returns have been very encouraging to erowers. Each case contained only 20 to 25 peaches, or about 6 pounds of fruit. The selling prices so far reported have varied from three shillings and three pence to si* shillings and six pence, the uvernge net return to the growers being nearly $1 per case f.o.b. ears at 8t. Catharines. The Department of Agriculture guaranteed tlie growers the local price (about 31-2 cents per pound I plus tlie extra cost ut packing, with the understanding that anything realized in excess of the guarnntee would be paid over to them. It would now seem that the growers will receive several times the anmunt of the guarantee. Spci-1 relrieera or cars were arranged for by the Department to carry tha peaches to Montreal, and cold storage chambers were reserved on steamers for throe weekly sailings eaeh to London, Liverpool and Glascow, and one to Bristol. The facilities thus provided made private shipments possible. Mr. C. A. Dobson. ot the -Ior. dan Hnrbor Peach Ranch, has made successful shipments of several hundred eases of peaches, and others have shipped penrs and early apples. Throught the refrigerator car ani ear_.o inspection services of this branch of the Department of Agriculture, we will have complete data respecting the temperature and other conditions under which the fruit was carried until it reached the markets in Great Britain. This information will be issued in tha form of a bulletin for the guidance of growers who mny wish to male shipments in future. The trail will be well blazed and it wil] he lhe fault of the shio-ers if they do not follow it successfully. A recent bulletin makes the follow, ing announcement respecting the season's crop: "In Eastern Canada 'he peach crop has been very irreguln*', anil unite conflicting reports have been received. As the crop approaches maturity nnd is being harvested, the een- eral estimation would be that there m a medium to full crop, but 'light in certain varieties. The late peaches am even better than the earlier varieties. Thc EaHy Crnwfords were betle- than usual. The Smock will be a med;um crop. The Elhertas, however, are lieht. British Columbia reports a full crop of both early and late peaches." It also contains this information of importance to shippers; "Many peach growe'j are shipring this year for the firat time in peach boxes. It should he not'tl thai, while the Inspection and Sale Act prescribed no name and addresses Ior the peach basket, the peach box must he marked the same as any other closed packag". Tlm inspectors are reporting a number of cases whore peach boxes hove not been properly marked." The presence in the English market of Cnnadian peaches will pre'-nt to thc British public another aspect ol our resources. MADE IN CANADA^ ROYAL YEAST CAKES .MOST PERFECT MADE.

Sbe bad made a discovery, and she didn't exactly know how to handle lt. "Ever see a liner bird?" be asked aa tbey descended to the dining room. "Did you buy him at a bird store?" "I did. I bad bad my eye on him for • couple ot weeks." "And they said he wu a whlppoorwlll'." "They didn't have to. I called and ■aid I wanted to buy bim. Be doesn't look to you like a turkey gobbler, does he?" "Ob. no." "He'll be worth his weight In gold tbis winter. I'm expecting to bear bim burst Into song any Instant. Lord, but I wlab winter were here now. Tbe bird store man said tbat If yon gave the bird tbe key on the piano he'd sing moat anything. Tbe phonograph or tbe pianola won't be In lt with bim." "When yoo were a boy on a farm you aaw wblppoorwllls. perhaps?" queried Mra. Bowser after an Interval. "Seven or eight million of tbem, I guess." "And yoo saw quail and roblas and larks?" "Certainly, and wbat of ltr "1-1 don't know." faltered Mrs. Bowler and turned tbe subject to something else, although be bung on to It like a cbolce morsel. Was It a Whippoorwill? "Tbe bird will be company for you wben 1 happen to be out of an evening." he went on. "Borne folks think a wbipporwlll's song la a bit mournful, but I don't. It's a fact tbat he sings wltb such fervor aa makes tbe first few notes seem tinged with aome great grief. You had no Idea that I was ifter such a bird, bad you?" "No-o-o." "I try to be considerate toward yon. indeed, I may say that I bought tbe bird aolely on your account. 1 hope you will lake to each other and that tn time he will alt on your shoulder and utter his lay. We will now go up and hear htm trill forth." The cage was brought from tbe ball Into tbe sitting room find placed under the llabt. Mrs. Bowser took another and still closer look, and she gated at Mr. Bowser In a pitying way. Be failed to notice lt, but stood before the cage with his fingers ln tbe armholea of his vest and said: "Only cost $10, and he's worth double tbat. It surely was a happy thnuirht of mine. See bim cock bla head on one Bide and look at me." "Yes." "Do you tblnk he knows tbat I'm Bowser V "Very likely." "That's what the bird man said— thnt he'd know me In a very little time.

"Like a tired Infant," whispered Mr. Bowser as he tiptoed away and sat down. There was utter silence ln the room tor the next Hve minutes. Then the bird gaped and uttered a sort of croak. "That's u sign of hunger." was whispered. "Mrs. Bowser, have you any cold corned beef In the house?" "Mercy, but he won't eat such stuff! You'll have to get seed of some sort." "Cm! 1 forgot that I'll be out of bed at 0 in tbe morning. I'll try him now with a drink." Bird Falls to Tak* Water. A pint bowl of water was put In tbe cage, but lt attracted no notice.

Just as she returned tbe bird opened Its mouth, flapped Its wlugs and uttered a sound between a squawk and a shriek. "By thunder!" gasped Mr. Bowser. "That Is one of bis songs, 1 take It" she observed. "He did tbat as be caught sight of you. The poor thing knows you are ready to murder bim tbe moment my back Is turned.

IN CONDEMNED CELL Every Indulgence I* Given to Prisoners at th* Last What happens to a man, condemned to die on the scaffold, from the time he leaves the dock doomed, to the moment the small body oi men enter his cell one morning to inform him that Ihe hour has come ior the carrying out of the orders ol the law? A condemned man has a tew privi- lcjes not according to other convicts. He may be allowed to smoke, he may be granted a little beer on occasions, his food may be just as he chooses, but all this greatly depends on the governor of the prison. ' A condemned prisoner is never left alone, day or night; warders are always in the cell, and in the centre of the floor stands a small table, and on it rests a book. ThiB book must be carefully written up, lot it must contain a complete account of all the convict's doing, bis sayings, his requests, ) and so forth. In short, it contains a detailed account of the convict's life in the condemned cell, and nothing must be omitted. Naturally this book makes very interesting reading, but it ia quite impossible to have a look at it, ior after tb i execution is over the book is carefully sealed, and is known of no more, unless the Home Office, Ior some reason, desires to peruse its pages. A condemned prisoner does not go ou'. to exercise with other convicts; he is taken out quite alone when no inquisitive eyes may rest on him, and he is not paraded for Church service with the others. He does attend chapel, but he occupies a pew by himself , and is screened off so that other convicts may not see him. Sometimes a condemned man plays dominoes or draughts with the warders in charge of him—it is a rule to indulge auy condemned prisoner bo far as possible, but a daily paper he is not allowed to bave, although he may read ns much as he likes, but only volumes from the prison library. He does no work unless he specially asks for it, and then he is only give such tasks as do not necesitate the using of sharp tools in case oi any attempt at suicide. A condemned man may write and receive letters, and he may see visitors, but never alone—a warder is always present, and visitors see the con vict through a form of grille—they may neither touch nor kiss him. On the morning oi the execution the prisoner is awakened early. Breakfast is given, and it consists of what the doomed man desires. Afterwards be may smoke, and await the coming oi the chaplain. The latter official \, always in the condemned cell on the morning of execution. ln due time the convict's ordinary clothes are handed in, and these he is required to put on, hut no collar or tie accompanies the suit of clothes. They are net wanted, for the neck must not be covered up in any way. Within a few minutes ot eight I o'clock or nine o'clock, a small body . of men reach the door of the condemn ed cell—tbey are the officials entrusted with the carrying out ol the law's demands. They enter the cell; the convict stands up, and is asked by one ' particular official il he is "John So- and-so?" On un affirmative answer being civ en, a document haa to be signed by one of the officials—this document is u receipt to tbe governor ol the prison Ior delivering up to the proper authorities the said "John So-and-so's body for legal execution." A few preliminaries have to be gone through with—the prisoner, for instance, is asked if he has anything to say, uny requests to make. The executioner is then introduced, and swift, ly the prisoner's arms are pinioned. Once on the scaffold the business is soon over—the feet are placed on the chalked-out marks, the lega are deftly pinioned, the white cap is placed in position, the rope is adjusted wilh running noose lying behind the left car, the signal is given, and the hangman doea his part, and in a minute afterwards the execution is completed.—Pearson's Weekly, No Mistake About It A populor actress tells the following story ol Sir Henry Irvine, in whose support she appeared when he produced the pny, Peter the Great. It upoeors that at a rehearsal of the play in question at the Lyceum Thou, tre in London a wonderful climax had been reached, which wos to be heightened by the effective use ol the usual thunder und lightning. The stage carpenter was given the order. The words were spoken and instantly a noise which reaembled a succession of pistoi shots was heard off the wings. "What on earth are you doing, men?" Bhouted Sir Henry, rushing behind the Bcenes. "Do you cull thut thunder? It's not a bit like it." "Awfully Borry, air," responded the carpenter, "but the fact is, sir, 1 couldn't hear you because of the storm. Thut was real thunder, sin" TR.CKS OF WOUNDED WILD FOWL Face Death Under Water Rathsr Than the Hunter Above. The cunning exhibited by certain species of wi' 1 fowl when wounded is remarkable. Many a duck hunter has winged birds from a flock and seen them di, . never apparently to return to the surface again. Certain kinds of ducks which are obtuse in their willingness to come to decoys become, when struck by a bullet, little devils of almost sarcastic cleverness. A case in point occurred not long ago wben a duck hunter on the St. Lawrence showered a big coot with T e shot from his boat secluded in a rush bed. The duck flrst attempted to rise, but discovering that its wing v...s crippled, immediately dropped into the water again and dove. The hunter stood up in his boat with his gun leveled lor a second shot at the bird when it should come to the surface, but he waited in vain ior the reappearance of nis game. There were few ducks flying to occupy his attention, so he determined to row out and solve if possible the mystery of the coot's disappearance. Thj water under the decoys was shallow enough for him to see clearly the weed covered bottom, and he paddled carefully about near the spot where he had seen the wounded duck lunge below the surface. Suddenly, in the clear water below the gunwale ol his boat, he saw the solution of the mystery. Anchored a few feet Irom the bottom by a thick reed stalk, wings outstretched and head hanging limply down over hia back, waa the body of the elusive coot. With the tension ol a death grip it was evident he had clutched the weed to keep himself Irom rising again to the surface where he had received before the pain from the wounding bullet. Rather than give himself up to thia strange enemy, he had preferred to remain at the bottom. Running his oar blade into the water, the hunter tried to detach his game; but so tenaciously did the lee'. clin» that it was only by severing the weed itself that the duck was brought again to the surface. Even when tuk. en into the boat, the bird's death grip remained fast upon' the rush stalk. Another instance ot the straits to which u wounded duck will resort in evading a hunter was furnished by an American golden eye. The bird had been wounded among decoys in o small water hole of a frozen lake. When he dove and failed to reappear, the hunter walked to the other side ol the hole, and there, through the transparent ice, was astonished to see his game swimming with both feet and wings along just under the ice. lt was evident that the wounded duck, in its lright, had gone under the ice and was frantically swimming about in search of an opening. The hunter followed the desperate bird for some little diBtonce. Then the poor creature's strokes began to grow weaker, the wing action censed, and Anally the body lay still against the undei surface of the ice. With an uxe the hunter chopped out the drowned duck Mound Builders. In many Canadian villages the man who tenches the school is second in importance only to the minister. It the minister is away, the public meeting is presided over hy the teacher. If nn athletic club, debating soei.ty. or reading circle is to be formed, tbe teacher is expected to lead the way His opinion enrries weight, and his companionship is valued highly by th? young men of the village. That's the background for a little incident in which there figured tlie teacher and a "citizen" of a villoge a few miles Irom Owen Sound. The two were on one of their little autumn rambles near the village, and they hud exchnnged interesting bits of information about cities and the open country. "I've often wondered, said the villager, ofter they hod talked of many strange things, "how all these hills 'happened'." The teacher had been reading up so ns to make interesting the lessons in advanced geography, which his couple of fifth class pupils were soon to have, and it was with pleusure that he stilted whnt appealed to him ns the ino»t probnble cause of the hills. Carefully, lie explained the theory that the earth had cooled und contracted, its crust thereby wrinkling into valleys und hills. The other man listened attentively, and then, with not the suspicion ol n smile, said. "Oh, thot's it. And here I've bi-en going along thinking that it was just tbut people hud too much lnnd und piled some of it up out ol the way." It was the snnie villager who, when "company" had helped him to do full justice to supper nt his home, would sny, "I wish it wus to-morrow morning," nnd, when someone hud linked why, would say, "1 want to sec what we're going to have ior breuklast." li PIONEER NAVIGATOR LATE CAPTAIN SHEPHERD WELL- KNOWN AROUND MONTREAL. For Sixty Years He Was Engaged In Marine Affairs of Montreal and Was One of the Best Loved Captains on Inland Waters—Commanded the Lady Simpson, One ol the First Steam Craft In Canada. In the death of Captain Shepherd, one of the best-known and most highly-esteemed masters ot inland navigation in Canada passed nway. Deceased, who was in his usual good health until quite recently, was stricken with pneumonia hut a short time ngo and , the disease soon got beyond the stage j where medioal aid could be of nny avail. The late navigator was born in England in 1824 and ho came to Canada with his patents when he wns only five years ol age. For over CO years he had been actively and prominently connected with the marine and corn- Thunder and Lightning.

By his energy and enterprise he did much to promote the interests of tho Ottnwa valley ,and eastern Ontario an I his line of vessels aided very materially in the settlement and building up of the Ottawa valley. He wns fi r many yenrs president ol the Ottaw. Uiver Navigation Co. and commanded personally from time to time almost nil tbe big steamers plying between Carillon and Montreal.

London's Theatrts. Some rnther interesting statistic" hnve been given lately in The London Dnily News about the number ot theatres in that city, and the number of people they can seat. It appears that there nre, in all, fifty-one buildings where public performonces of stuqe plnys take place regularly. When lull, tbey will Accommodate GO.oot people, which would represent, in money value, over $50,0(10.
