C. Ltd. was held in their\noffice, Revelstoke. B. C, Dec. 1.\nThe President, Mr. Johnston,\nof Nelson, opened the meeting\nwith the following address:\n\"Gentlemen,\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdIn opening this\nmeeting of representatives of\nProvincial Fruit Growers, I would\nlike to impress upon you the\ngreat inportance and far reaching results which will result from\nyour deliberations here to-day.\nIt is not too much to say that\nthe success or failure of the B. C.\nfruit industry, for many years\nto come, depends upon the sound\nbusiness judgment displayed by\nthe gentlemen here present. We\nhave completed the second season's operation of the Exchange\nand it has been a most trying\nand difficult one in many respects\nto all concerned. The financial\nstringency in our market, in j\nManitoba and the prairies, the j\nignorance and inexperience of j\nmany of our growers as to the\nproper conditions under which\nfruit must be picked, graded,\npacked and shipped, and tht\nwant of confidence of our mem-\nbars in the financial ability ot\noar exchange to handle theii\nbusines have been the chiei\nc luses of all our difficulties.\n\"Rome was not built in a day\"\nand \"We must hang together ir,\norder to prevent our hanging\nseparately\" are two old sayings\nwhich are most applicable to out\npresent circumstances. There it-\nno question, gentlemen, that the\nlines of perfect co-operation on\nw lich we have been trying tc\nw.>rk are the only ones on which\ntj work in order to succeed in\nour future business. We must\nalways bear in mind that this k-\nour own business and not the\nbusiness of some firm with whom\nwe are dealing. The mistakes\nwhich are made are our mistakes-\nand must be remedied and not\ntreated as a local grievance\nBlunders which are sure to bt\nmade at the commencement oi\nan organization of this kind\nshould be considered by us as-\nvaluable assets to hand over foi\nthe guidance of our future boards\nof management. It is absolutely necessary that we put our Exchange on a sound financial basis-\nin order to carry on our business,\nthis must be done. No business\ncan be carried on successfully\nwithout a sound financial basis\nto work upon. Not only is this\nessential from the growers'\nstandpoint, but the parties with\nwhom we make contracts must\nsatisfy themselves of our ability\nto fill such contracts. The grower must act towards this association as he must act with his local\ndealer in his business dealings,\n[f a grower desires credit to a\nconsiderable extent from his\nhome merchant he must either\ngive good bank security or else\nplace his ranch as security. In\norder to carry on our business on\na sound working basis I would I\nsuggest that each grower takei\nstock in the Exchange to the ex- j\ntent of $250.00, payable at the'\nrate of $50.0j per annum, over a!\nperiod of five years. It will not j\nbe necessary to call more than a\npart of this first payment because!\nthe moment that we can give\nsatisfactory security to the bank.,\nwe can borrow all the funds necessary to carry on our business\nit reasonable rates of interest. !\nLet me again urge upon you the!\n>rreat importance of your delib-\nsrations today. Bear in mind\nchat in a representative meeting\nwe cannot all be of one opinion\non all subjects which may come\nbefore us. Let us carefully consider every point and listen attentively to all arguments for\nan 1 against and then act in the\ntrue spirit of co-operation and\nunity which is the only road\nleading to success in our most\nimportant industry.\"\nThe actual shipments made\nthrough the Exchange this year\nfrom the various points in the\nprovince were as follows :\nAgassiz  $     574.85\nArmstrong Produce Co 220.81\nArmstrong   Shippers'\nUnion     4,329.86\nChilliwack         4,234.03\nEnderby    16,250.15\nFire Valley  52.95\nArrowhead  42.72\nGrand Forks..      5,798.20\nH.

C. License Act.\nIs British Columbia, or is it\nnot, a constitutionally governed\nprovince, or have the public any\nsay in the management of public\naffairs ? Are commissioners appointed to carry out the will of\ntie people, or to do as they like?\nMust their own personal opinions\ntake precedence of the opinions\nof a vast majority of the rate\npayers?   It would seem so,\niudc\ning from the recent action of the\nKelowna License Commissioners\nwhen a third hotel was granted\na liquor license directly in the\nt>eth of public sentiment. The\ncitizens of Kelowna had recently\nexpressed themselves strongly\nagainst the granting of a third\nlicense, both by petition and by\na plebiscite. True the applicant\nfor license was a different person\nt) the one who applied a few\nmmths ago, but the building is\nthe same; and, if the commissi mers were governed by a\npi ^biscite on the former occasion,\nwhy should they not have taken\na plebiscite again if it were be-\nlisved that public opinion had\nchanged ?\nA similar case occurred in\nChilliwack during the past few\nmonths. That town had been\ndry until a mayor, who favored\nlicsnse, was elected. This resulted in commissioners favorable to the liquor business being\nappointed, and these men grant-\ne 1 licenses to two hotels. This\nwas done upon a petition signed\nby 71 ratepayers as against a\npetition of 218 ratepayers submitted by the temperance\nclement.\nSuch high-handed conduct on\nthe part of public representatives\ncannot longer be tolerated.\nRussia and Turkey have granted\ntheir citizens constitutions, and\neven China contemplates doing\nthe same. Shall we in British\nColumbia further submit to being\ndominated by commissions who\ntrample upon the very principles\nof democracy, commissions that\nmay be bought, bribed or influenced to do the bidding of a\nmere fraction of the population?\nTo a people who honor the traditions of their forefathers, who\nwould shed their last drop of\nblood for liberty, such a condition\nis impossible.\nA petition praying the provincial government for a local option\nliquor law is about to be circulated for signatures throughout the\nprovince. This petition will\ndoubtless be of such magnitude\nas to force the government to\naction. Should the present members of the legislature, refuse to\nrespond, they will by so doing\ndig their own political graves.\nThis is not a party question, but\na personal question with each\nindividual member of the Legislature, and each individual member will be held personally responsible for his own actions.\nThe people of British Columbia\nare determined to see this province placed on an equal footing\nwith the other members of the\nfederation as regards the con-\niroling of the liquor business.\nWe publish herewith a letter\nreceived by the Editor, from Mr.\nGeo. Heatherbell, ^vho recently\nlectured in this plat* under, the\nauspices of the Provincial Farmers' Institute. The question of\nthe division Of the Institutes\nthroughout the province into\nsmaller sections was discussed by\nMr. Heatherbell and he has since\ntaken the question up with Mr'.\nHodson.'-the Deputy Minister of\nAgriculture. The opinion was\nset forth by Mr. Heatherbell,\nand reported at length in this\npaper, that the only way in which\nan active interest in the meetings\nof the Institute could be secured\nwas by forming separate institutes for the various localities.\nAt present our secretary resides\nin Kelowna, and it is thus impossible to do effective work. Were\na local Institute organized in each\nplace, all the machinery would\nbe at hand; the meetings could\nbe properly advertised, and could\nbe held whenever desired. Matters of general interest to fruit\ngrowers could be discussed and\nmuch more effective work done.\nWe would suggest, as the letter\nbelow advises, that the local\nmembers of the Institute get together and send a requisition to\nthe Deputy Minister asking for\nthe division. Following is Mr.\nHeatherbell's letter:\nMr. Clement,\nPenticton Press.\nDear Sir, -Thanks for the copy\nof your paper which I received\nsafely this week. I was pleased\nwith the way you put the piece\nin about the Institute meeting.\nI discussed the matter of dividing up the district into smaller\nsections for Institute work with\nMr. Hodson and, as I told you,\nhe is already very much in favor\nof it; but he said he would like\na requisition from the different\nlocalities asking for it to be done.\nSo I believe if some three or four\nof you were to send in a request\nto that effect you would get what\nyou want. I believe myself that\nit is just what you want; also\nthe same in Summerland.\nHoping to see you again some\nday under more favorable conditions, I am,\nYours sincerely,\nGeo.

The\nmanner in which the hall was\ndecorated, the sumptious supper\nand excellent music, making a\ncombination which always ensures a successful dance. A\nlarge party of ladies and gentlemen, members of the Summer-\nland Tennis Club, arrived early,\nalso several visitors from other\npoints.\nAs a social event Penticton\nhas never seen a more successful\none, the floor committee making\nit a point to introduce all visitors\nas they arrived. A marked absence of the little cliques, which\nhas tended to make dances here\na social failure in the past, was\nnoticed and appreciated. All\nwho attended had a very good\ntime, the Summerland party being especially enthusiastic in\ntalking of the very enjoyable\ntime they had had.\nTlie committee of ladies who\ntook charge of the supper arrangements deserve great credit\nfor the manner in which they\nfilled their part of the program.\nIt is the intention of the committee to have some other social\nevent in the near future, and\nthey hope by this means to make.\nthe club the most popular in\ntown. As there is no limitation\nto the membership it is expected\nthat quite a large number of\npeople who held back last season\nwill join in time for the next.\nAt the close of the dance a\nHockey Sticks,\nSkates,\nFalse Faces,\nChristmas Goods.\nSubscription $1.00 Year.\nvote of thanks was tendered the\nladies who furnished refreshments for the occasion.\nEllis Street, Penticton.\nTHE\nPenticton Bakery\n-FOR-\nGood Wholesome Bread,\nCakes and Pastry.\nGIVE US A TRIAL AND WE\nWILL PLEASE YOU.\nL.

Ine's fringing willows, where the deer nibbled, a cool\nblack, (mt of ft the meadow larks\nshowed their good luck waistcoats and\nrippled their tunes. Out of It countless\nwild roses smiled up pinkly to tbe sun.\nBut all the loveliness of the new day\nonly mocked at tbe lonely girls in the\nwagon. To them the gray sands of\ntheir desert borne, the blistering\n\"northers.\" the brassy skies, were unconsciously synonymous of safety and\nJieace. More than once as they pressed on the old. red painted section\nbouse rose before them, a very baven.\nbehind, the squat shack was gradually lessening in size. A jutting corner had already shut from view its\ncrippled sentry.\nThere was little conversation. Marylyn for a time could not dismiss the\nsubject that had confronted her at the\nstart. Finally, however, she put It\naside impatiently and let herself drift\non a pleasant current. And Hallas -\nber thoughts were also harried, for as\nher home dropped mile Uy mile in the\ndistance and she was forced to meet\nthe question of what she would say\nand do when she arrived at Clark's\nher feelings underwent a marvelous\nchange. It had !>een easy enough in\nthe excitement following her discovery\nto contemplate a meeting with Lounsbury. But that excitement having\ndwindled not a little the idea of seeing\nhim aim of talking to him mounted iu\nproportional importance. She saw herself drawing up before his store or\nstanding just within as she related her\nstory She saw his face, the blue eyes,\nfull of fun\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand she bad not met him\nsince that evening! Her heart began\nto thump with the picturing, its poundings playing up to her throat and down\nagain. Want of food was giving her\na sensation of weakness and sinking.\nBut this seemed also to be tbe result\nof mental and not physical suffering\nShe was torn by a desire to retreat.\nThen darted through her mind the\nremembrance of Marylyn's midnight\nconfidence, It was a blow on a wo,und.\nShe glanced at her sister entreatingly.\nAnd what she fancied she read in the\nother's eyes Instantly altered the desire to turn-made her send the mil Iks\nforward at a better pace. Marylyn\nwas sitting stiffly upright, bracing herself with her hands. Her head was\nup, her look was eager and fixed.\nThere was a smile on her parted lips.\n\"She's happy about seeing bim.\"\nthought Dallas and was overwhelmed\nby a sense of her own guilt.\nA diversion soon came in a horrid\nguise. Tlie road touched the coulee\nagain, bringing close the giant cotton-\nwoods, where the Sioux dead were\nlashed, and the girls, glancing toward\nthe trees, suddenly caught a glimpse\nof long, wrapped bodies.\nMarylyn edged toward her sister.\n\"Oh. I hope it'll be light when we get\nhere coming back,\" she whispered,\nshuddering.\n\"We won't bp nlone,\" answered Dallas reassuringly.\nTbe coulee was deep and dark at\nthat point and full of queer shadows.\nFrom tbe boughs that cradled the\nbraves cntne uncanny Bufferings as\nthe wind shook loosened scraps of the\nsleepers' covering The dead seemed\ntn he moving restlessly upon their hler\nboards and waving an imploring summons to be freed of the thongs that\nbound them Overhead was full cause\nfor fear Floating ou motionless wing,\nwith bare necks craning hungrily, circled black watchers.\n\"They say.\" whispered Marylyn,\n'watching nervously behind\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\"they say\nthe Indians are scared to come near\nthese trees; never do till one of 'em\n<!!>\ufffd\ufffd. I don't wonder. Il gives me the\nshivers just to see that bunch.\"\nDallas drew the whip across Betty.\n\"A (lend Indian's not dangerous,\" she\nsaid, smiling Ami forgot to ask Marylyn where she hail heard the tale.\nSix miles were gone. But the way\nahead was still long, the brown blotch\nat the ridge tup was still only a blotch.\nAnd the team >vus fast tiring. When\nMurphy's Throat was reached Dallas\ndrove out to the left, watered the\nthirsty pair at a slough and ate with\nMarylyn Ihe long deterred breakfast\nAfter that they went nl a better pace\nfor a lime Soon however, the road\nbecame sleeper, nud Betty slacked up.\nIhe sun was high now and unpleasantly warm So the \ufffd\ufffd1st- old mule merely\nhumped her bail, is Imllas applied the\nlash and dogged I.\\ refused to increase\nher speed I\nit   was  noon   ivIumi   the   wagon  ap- I\nproached th,, sun i     It did not rest J\nhind  was spread  |\nthere a   llioiuelll\nout a wonder!i:\nHQlirl   threaded\nwestern  bluffs \ufffd\ufffd\nto the sky      llr-\nthe  ridge uvei\ni'nlllnu I'l'iui\nverdant inud\nand down   tn\nthe liv.''

Short coulees had eaten tlie bluff slopes into\nHillings and spilled small rivulets upon\nthe plain Vet. bailing these nnd a\nlake that sparkled, a round sapphire,\non the right, there was superb uniformity Not a stream, not a butte. not\neven a nubbin of rock, varied the\nview And not a herd of cattle! To\nthe south moved a score of yellow animals\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdantelope But these and a village of saucy prairie dogs were the\nonly signs of life The land dropped\naway by imperceptible degrees. As\nimperceptibly it melted into a mellow\nsky.\nDallas and Marylyn were each Intent\nupon Clark's, lying far ahead and to\nthe left, a dun colored line which seemed scarcely to gel nearer us the time\nwent. But after an hour their patience was rewarded, when the dun\ncolored line resolved itself into two\nand they saw the cow camp\ufffd\ufffd\ufffda narrow street Hanked by low shanties of\ncanvas and board\nAgain Dallas and Marylyn were absorbed, each with a mental conflict\nThe younger got fidgety, theu petulant and began to complain of thirst\nKor once the elder girl showed scant\nsympathy She was hurriedly planning some new speeches.\nAt the southern end of the camp\ntheir destination was made plain to\nthem by a sign reading \"(ieneral Merchandise.\" It was nailed along the\nhip of a large building that stood midway of the street Looking to neither\nside, they made straight for it\nWhen the team came to a stand before tbe store the girls saw to their\nsurprise that the door was shut. They\nwaited. A minute passed. No one\ncame out. Then Dallas climbed down\nand knocked. There was no answer.\nShe waited again. Finally she tried\ntlie knob. It resisted her effort. From\nwithin came the rattle of a chain.\n\"It's locked.\" She went back to\nMarylyn. The two looked at each other. Over the younger's face swept a\nflush of relief. But Dallas had forgotten her dread of seeing Lounsbury in\na keen disappointment at finding bim\ngone. She glanced anxiously up and\ndown the street.\nIt was deserted and still. Dallas\nclimbed back to the seat. \"Maybe\nhe's at the fort.\" she said encouragingly. \"We'll dr:ve home quick, There's\na lot of it downhill.\" She clucked to\nthe team.\nAt that moment the door of a nearby shanty opened. A man came out.\nwaving a letter. \"Say, hello!\" be\nbawled.    \"Don't you want your mail?\"\nDallas checked the mules.\n\"I got a letter for you.\" he went on.\nIt was Al Braden of Sioux Falls.\nDallas gave Marylyn the reins and\nreached for the letter, noting that the\nreal estate man did not doff the floppy\nhat or make any swinging bows.\n\"A  letter?\"\n\"Yep from Lounsbury. I told him\nI was going to lope hack down to tbe\nbend    hut  1 didn't \"    He snickered.\n\"Where's he gone?\" she asked, slitting the envelope with shaking hand.\n\"Dunrio.\" answered Braden He was\nleaning on a wheel now. surveying\nBen and Betty with a critical ami\nsomewhat disdainful eye. for each was\nhanging upon three legs to rest a\nfourth Present I \\ he glanced up ut\nMarylyu and his eye lit impudently.\n\"Dunlin.\" lie repeated. \"You're bis girl.\nYou ought to know.\"\nBut Dallas did not hear him. She\nwas scanning a page closely written\nand addressed to herself,\n\"A telegram lias come calling me\nhome Iran the ietter| It says my\nmother Is ill 'seriously III'\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand I am\nafraid it's put that way to hide something worse It is the only thing that\ncould take me out of Dakota now.

The wheel\nrolled from nmlei   Bladen's elbow.\n\"Well.

Come on back \"\nTo this no answer was made. Dallas\ngave the team a lew smart cuts. The\nwagon I'll in bled out of the street\nAnd now begun the return Journey.\nFive hours had been consumed in\nreaching Clark's. Ten minutes had\nlieen wasted there. Another Hve\nwould lie passed at the lirst clear water, But allowing for the team's faster\ngait when they were headed for home\nand for twelve miles of down grade,\nthey should not take more than four\nhours tn reach the bend. Twilight\nwould be settling Iheii,\nDallas figured the return thus\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdbut\nit was soon plain to hei that sunset\nwould Hud tliein miles from the shack.\nI'onr feed, wilh ihe plowing and the\nburrowing    hud    thinned   the   mules.\nAfter tne first spurt they paid no heed\nt\" the whip and fairly crawled. Marylyu. tired, gave way to passionate coin-\np'linliig Dallas folded a blanket in\nthe bottom of the wagon and coaxed\nher sister to lie down upon it. her\nface shielded by the seat. To further\ndishearten Ihe elder girl Ben and Betty showed signs of sore footedliess\nGuided out upon the grass they traveled lietter.\nIt took three precious hours to gain\nthe summit. The afternoon was then\nfar gone. Across the wide valley dark\nclouds were piling upon tbe western\nrange. They added to its height and\naugured the day's early closing When\nthe Throat gaped alongside, the fleecy\nhorizon bad rolled still higher, and beneath it the setting sun showed\nthrough like a harvest moon, blood red.\nSwiftly the duy withdrew and the\nstars came out. Tuen the breeze lulled and a mist rose from the coulee's\nwooded bottom. From It came the\ntremulous call of an owl. Dallas slipped to her feet nnd wielded the black-\nsnake vigorously\nThe mules shot forward for a wagon\nlength. , The sudden jolt awakened\nMarylyn. She got to her knees\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand\nthere were the cottonwoods wltb the\nladen boughs!\n\"Spunky little sister,\" encouraged\nthe elder girl aud helped tbe other to\nthe sent.\nThe road was so dark now thnt it\ntook on the aspect of a standing man,\nwho was no sooner overridden than\nhe rose again lu the lead. This was a\nbeginning for all manner of fears.\nDallas fought her own. But she could\nnot conquer them, for they enlarged\nenormously and changed to a premonition that ran riot.\nListening and watching, she had suffered the previous night. Yet that suffering was nothing compared to the\nagony thnt stole Into her heart and\nheld It\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdtill she forgot Marylyn's presence. She seemed to see a figure\nskulking through the dusk nbout the\nshack. It entered the lean-to and\ncrouched in hiding. She saw it come\nforth again, keeping close to the logs.\nIts eyes shone In the dark.\nHer father was beside the door,\nwhere she had left him. He was gazing straight ahead, as If he expected\nthe euemy to approach only from the\nfront, as if he had no thought of\ntreachery. His figure wns relaxed wearily. His face was drawn. But his\neyes\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdlike the other's\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwere strangely\nluminous.\nAh, the figure was creeping toward\nhim noiselessly step by step!\n\"Oo In! Go in. daddy!\"\nThe cry was toru from her. though\nshe strove to keep it bnck. Tbe strain\nof the past night and day was telling.\nFrantically she begged Ben and Betty\nto hasten. Knowing home was not far,\nthey obeyed her voice and presently\nwere setting back in their collars to\nblock the descent of the wagon, were\nsplashing through the backwater at\nthe coulee crossing and jerking their\nloud out upon the level. Eastward the\nshack stood out dimly In the starlight.\nThey made for It lit a trot.\nBut all at once they stopped and lie-\ngun stepping this way and that, as if\nready to leap the tongue. Dallas aud\nMarylyn recoiled, forsaking tlie seal\nfor tbe shelter of the box.\nThere was a moment's wait in a stillness as vast as the prairie. The mules,\nsidled to the left, shifted their long\nears nervously. The girls listened, the\nyounger shielded by the elder's arms.\nThen across the bend from the deserted houses of Shanty Town sounded the long, soul chilling bowl of a\ndog.\nCHAPTER XXIV.\n^ BROKEN crutch lying close tn\ntbe shack on the river side, a\nblood bespattered pane lu the\nwindow   just   above,   a   rifle\nIlls back. The team was also travel-\nbig rapidly. Behind was a reddish follower that lowed in protest of Hie\nspepd.\nWhen the mules came by Dallas was\nstanding at tlie dashboard plying the\nlush     Her   face   was  ashen,   her   eyes\nhull imbedded deep at a gun's length\nbeyond the pane-these were the truces\nthat ou the following morning gave nn\nInkling of a deadly clash.\nSquaw   Charley   found   tbem   when\nthe dHy was yet so young that no human   eyes   save   those   of   un   Indian\ncould have used Its scanty light.    Four\nraps    upon    the    warped    door    had\nbrought no answer.     Loudly  repented,\nthey had set the wooden latch to shaking lonesomely.    Mistrustful,  he  hnd\nentered   and   groped   about   the   dark\nroom.     Table   nnd   benches   were   iu\nplace.    The  blankets hung before the\nbunk.    To one side,  rolled   up  neatly,\nwas  the  mattress  upon  which  Dallas\nand Marylyn slept.    But nothing else\nmet his eipectaut hand and foot.  Next\nhe had  visited   the lean-to,   where he\nfelt  his  way  carefully   from  stall  to\nstall, discovering no occupant.    Then\nhe  bud   gone out  to pry  around the\nyard aud lit upon the marks tbat told\nof tbe struggle.\nThe absence of the wagon was a\nclew. He stol\ufffd\ufffd along the outgoing\ntrucks, between which small, circular\naud clearly stamped, were the hoof\nprints of two mules. Near the coulee\ncrossing the tracks ran into others and\nfresher ones thnt diverged sharply\nInto the corn. The hoof prints between these pointed eastward. He\nforsook the outgoing and turned back\nacross the field.\nAt tirst the course of the wngon puzzled. After veering north until the\ncanyon yawned the team had made\nalong the brink, keeping perilously\nnear it. Further on, at the upper end\nof the plowed strip, the direction abruptly changed. The mules had swung\nout to tbe right upon Ihe open prairie,\ntraveling straight for the middle of\nthe gap. So fur they hnd gone nt n furious gallop. Now. however, they\nslowed to a walk, when the course no\nlonger puzzled. To and fro it wended,\ntills way for a few feet, then the other\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdproof that Ben and Betty had fed.\nSquaw Charley halted. The horizon\nwas faintly yellow. Upon It wns n\nmoving object, which presently took\nthe clearer form of a wagon and span,\nlie set off, his loose hair whipping at\nlie stole along tlie outlining tracks,\nwere hollow. She did not see the Indian, for her gaze was upon the shack.\nHe swung himself into the rattling\nbox. There lay Marylyn, still in the\ngrasp of the stupor that had bound\nthem brain und body through the\nnight.\nBefore the mules brought up nt the\nlean-to Dallas was over a wheel and\ntoltering in quest of her father. Out\nof the shack as she searched it sounded her plaintive cry: \"Daddy, daddy,\nwhere are you? Oh, daddy, daddy,\ncome bnck!\"\nSquaw Charley, bringing Marylyn in,\nfound the elder girl kueeling behind\nthe partition, her arms thrown out to\ngrasp the vacant bunk.\nHe put his load clown gently; then,\nunbidden, rushed through the door for\nBranuon.\nWhen   Captain   Oliver  arrived   with\nFraser. a surgeon and a detachment of\nmounted men Dallas was seated In the\ndoorway, rocking Marylyn against her\nj breast.   She looked  up dry eyed as he\nj hurried to her.\n\"What'd they do it for?\" she asked\nbim brokenly. \"How could they hurt\nyou. dad? Oh. the land wasn't worth\nIt, the laud wasn't worth it!\"\nSomething to quicken life in Marylyn was the lirst thought. Then food\nand drink were given the girls. Meanwhile the troopers were sent out under Fraser to range the bend .mid beat\nthe coulee.\nOliver stayed But to his questions\nDallas, her reason tottering like her\nsteps, could only return others that\nwere heart rending.\n\"He'll come back, won't he? They\nwouldn't kill him7 Oh. you don't think\nhe's dead V\"\n\"We'll find him,\" said the captain.\nlie was pitiful in his regret. This tragedy was striking home to him as even\nthe .lamieson flUllire had not. Ilis\nlong, sad face was mote like a walrus'\nthan ever.\n\"Mr. Bond said we'd have good luck\nhere,\" she went on despairingly. \"But\nthere was danger by night, wasn't\nthere? There was danger!\"\n\"She's knocked silly.\" Oliver murmured to The surgeon \"The child\ndoesn't know what she's saying.\"\n\"You're right ('lean blunted,\" was\nthe answer \"But I'll straighten 'em\nboth out by noon \"\nA long halloo summoned Ihe captain\nto the door A group of men were\ngiltbered In the swale between the\nshack and Shanly Town Eraser wns\namong them Oliver signaled, and*the\nyoung officer wheeled nud came galloping In.\n\"What is It?\"\n\"Old man's gun, discharged, out\nthere in the grass'' -\n\"Yes?\"\n\"And  two sets nf\nund    going    across\nfootprints coming\nthat    hit    of    low\niks about two days\nl.y   bonis; other   is\nni en -ins.\"\nground     One set  i\nold  and  was  nui'1,\nnewer ai.d lun\n\"Ah!\"\n\"There's something strange about\nthese last. Coming this way the marks\nare so light you can hardly see 'em,\ngoing bnck they're sunk way down.\"\n\"Carried a load, eh.'\"\n\"It looks like it.\" Oliver mounted\nand they rode off to the swale.\nNoon was past when the captain culled nt the shack again. He found the\nsurgeon gone, but bis promise fulfilled. Food and medicine had gone\nfar to revive his patients physically.\nTears had mercifully combined with\nreturning strength to right their minds.\nThis time the elder girl met Oliver\nwith no incoherence, but with brave\nquiet All her self command had returned. She asked him in and showed a tender forethought for Marylyn\nby sending her nut into the sunshine\nnnd the garden before she listened to\nwhnt he had to tell. When he was\ndone she began her story with the\nfinding of the pole.\n\"Redskins!\" he exclaimed.\n\"Boot marks were around, though,\"\nshe said.\n\"You nre sure? 1 wish your father\nhnd asked my advice. I feel as if I\nhad come short in  my duty.\"\n\"Please don't.\" she enlreated. \"You\nsee. we thought we could tend to it-\nlong 's we knew  who it  was.\"\nlie turned astonished eyes upon her.\n\"Knew!\" he exclaimed. \"Well, for\nheaven's snke out  with It then!\"\n\"Matthews-he wanted Ihe land.\"\n\"The interpreter! But last lllght'8\ntracks     were,     made     by     mocassins. ;\nThere's one Indian free\"\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\nShe let him go no further. \"It's not\nCharley.\" she declared. \"Matthews\nmeant us to think it was Indians.\nMoccasins are easy to get.\"\n\"That's true.\" He frowned. \"H'm!\nWell, 1 shall inquire into his whereabouts during the last two days.\" Aud\nthe captain fell to studying the figures\non the Nava.ios.\nOutside Lieutenant Fraser was passing Ihe shack. Be rode on to the corn-\nfleld, where he flung himself off his\nhorse.\n\"Marylyn. Marylyn!\" he said tremblingly. \"You poor girl! I'm so sorry.\nWhat cau  I  say'.'   It's my fault.\"\nShe lifted a scared face to his. \"No.\nit's mine,\" she answered. \"If I'd told\nDallas about you we'd never 'a' goue\nto Clark's\"\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\n\"Thank goodness you did! But If\nyour fnther had known nbout me\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdif t\ncould have come to the house. 1 must\nafter this. We'll tell your sister about\nus now.

She'd think\nit was  awful  I  didn't say something\nyesterday!\"\n\"Why didn't you, Marylyu?\" i\nShe looked down. \"You don't know\nDallas. She don't like soldiers any\ninore'n pa.

I promised Lounsbury I'd look\nafter you folks.\"\nShe   stopped   short     \"Did  you  tell\nhim about you and me?\"\n\"No.\"\n\"Oh!\"    She    was    relieved.     \"You\nmustn't cither.

Nesbitt,\nthe twelve year old son of Jos.\nA. Nesbitt, and the other Gale\nColebank charged with running\na bowling alley without a license.\nBoth parties pleaded guilty, the\nlatter, however, statintr that he\nwas merely employed to run the\nbowling alley in the absence of\nthe owner, Mr. Claughton. The\nmagistrate, therefore, ordered\nthe bowling alley closed until the\nowner should return, and also\ntake out a license.\nJos. A. Nesbitt. who laid the\ncharge in the assault case, requested the court not to impose\na fine upon the defendant. His\nboys had been abused on former\noccasions, and he merely wished\nthe offender to be reprimanded\nin order to prevent a recurrence\nof such acts. Mr. Nesbitt's son\nhad been employed as pin boy in\nthe bowling alley, and the place\nhad recently become a favorite\nresort of boys in the evenings.\nThe magistrate warned the defendant against acts of violence,\nand further ordered that in\nfuture boys be excluded from\nthe bowling alley, with the exception of the pin boys, and that\nthey should be employed only\nwith the consent of their parents.\nThe fact of boys making themselves troublesome about town\nin the evenings, when they\nshould be at home studying their\nlessons or under the care of their\nparents, was also touched upon\nwith a view to parents exercising\nbetter control.\nWeather Report.\nObservations at Dominion Government Meteorological Station\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdat Penticton for the month of\nNovember, 1908 :\nMAXIMUM MINIMUM\nTEMPERATURE      TEMPERATURE\n1 62   45\n2 64   42\nii 69  48|\n4 611  51\n5 54}  38\n6 521  41\n7 581  29\n8 52   'Ah\n!) 531  25\n10 46   \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd>,\n11 451  32A\n12 4H   21\nl.'i 46   20\n14 46   .'!2\n15 47   4:i\n16 57   45\n17 60   44\nIS 54  46\n19 52*  35\n20 58  ' 38\n21 58  38\n22 47  25\n23 45   33\n24 45   33\n25 451  23\n26 411  21\n27 391 25\n28 40*  35\n29 40\"  17\n30 :)6   9\n31\t\nThe total rainfall was .42.\n60   YEARS'\nEXPERIENCE\nTrade Marks\nDesigns\nCopyrights Ac.\nAnyone sending a sketch and description may\nquickly ascertain our opinion froe whether an\ninvention is probably patentable.
