The\nfaded, worn and slouchy scout's uniform he wore, and other details of his\naccoutrements were taken in at a\nglance. His fair, open and handsome\ncountenance and his self-reliant\" bearing appealed lo her fancy. Though\nshe had abruptly dismissed him, refusing his offered assistance, she still\nfelt assured that she would meet him\non her return home and would then\nmake amends for her seeming rudeness. She was aware that it was not\ncustomary for strangers lo pass their\nhome, alter a long day's journey, without being offered the hospitality of a\nnight's lodging. Those transient\ntravellers on many occasions, were\nwelcomed at her home. They proved\npleasing diversions from the general\nroutine and monotony of the lonely\nlives those early pioneers have had to\npass in a district rejnote from the\nmore congenial advantages of more\nsettled communities. Instead of\nthose visits proving an inconvenience\nthey were often the sojorce of considerable social pleasure'to them. As\nyouth appeals to youth,\" she anticipated with pleasure the prospects of\nagain meeting him on her return\nhome, Her disposition craved the\nsociety of people of iter own age. an\nadvantage that she did not, only lo a\nlimited extent, enjoy in her lonely surroundings.\nWhile she loved the freedom of the\nlife she led among the hills, the valleys and the lakes, and the surrounding landscapes appealed to her aesthetic tastes, yet there was the yearning\nfor companionship and the society of\npeople of her own age and kind. In\nher day dreams she pictured to herself the pleasures of the life she missed\u00E2\u0080\u0094a life of more congenial human\nsurroundings.

U.\n1517\nbuoyancy to hor elated feelings, and,\nin her abstraction, she spurred her\nhorse to greater speed as she proceeded in her quest, for the horses,\nll was this feeling of elation that\nwas partly responsible for her failure\nto examine more closely her surroundings as she cantered in the\ndirection of two horses thai she noticed grazing close in to the edge of\na bluff some distance away. Confident\nthat they were the horses she was in\nsearch of, she headed In Ihal direction with an air of abstraction thai\nmade her praclically oblivious Of any\ndanger thai might be lurking in the\nvicinity.\nAs she rounded the edge of the bluff\nshe was startled from her reverie by\na hoarse command Of, \"Stop! Pul up\nyour hands.\" The suddenness of this\norder roused her at once to action.\nHer quick wits at a glance took in the\nsituation, and convinced her of the\nfutility of an attempt lo escape or loj\noffer resistance. All at once she\nseemed lo be surrounded by a band of\nfive men. Their forbidding aspects\nand pointing guns striking terror to\nher heart admitted of no temporizing\naction. She was approached by a\ndark complexloned, heavy built man.\nwho seized her bridle rein and relieved\nher of her revolver. After a cursory\nexamination of her horse and a close\nscrutiny of her face, he said. \"Jump\ndown young fellow, this? is my horse\nyou are riding.\"\n(loaded to desperation by the holdup and resenting the insolence of his\nlooks and order, she answered, \"No,\nsir; this is nol your horse. Vou have\nno righi to stop me in this way, nor\nInterefcre with me in any manner.\nThe Mounted Police shall be notified\nof this insolent hold-up of me.\"\n\"The Mounted Police he d d. We\nhave a line on them gents, and they\nwon't help you this time. Jump down\nor I'll pull you off.\" ^v\nRealizing that protest or resistance\nwould be useless, and following th/\npromptings ui her feminine intuition,\nshe passively yielded to Inevitable\nnecessity and dismounted as requested'by him. After again looking inlo\nher face, he snatched off her hat. Then\nwiih on insolent leering grin on \u00E2\u0080\u0094his\nface, he said, \"I thought so.\" Quickly replacing it on her head, In' said,\nloud enough for all to hear: \"Young\nfella, so that you will not put the\nd_d Red Coals on our track, you\nwill come along witli us to-night.\"\nAfter his close seruitiny of her face\nshe was conscious of ihe facl lhat he\nwas aware of her sex. II. was also\nclear lo her that he desired to conceal\nhis discovery from the rest, of his\ncompanions. This added to her fear\nof the man, but still she decided, in\nlhe meantime, to submit to his orders.\nHer feminine Intuition warned her\ntiiat discreet silence would be her safest plan for lhe present. She had\nnothing lo expect nor hope for from\nIhe other members of tlie gang, wlpi\nseemed to be acting under his orders.\nTaking a lariat from one of the\nsaddles close at hand, he led her into\nthe shelter of Ihe bluff. Fil'Sl he\nsearched her for any weapon she\nmitthi have in her possession. He\nthen fastened the loop end of the\nhula I round her walsi and bound her\nsecurely to a birch tree. He, how-\nuv* i. I' \"I holh her hands and IV.il free\nwiih BU file! en I slack to her bonds lo\nenable her to stand up or sil down as\nsin- desired. lie warned her, however, that ll she attempted lo escape\nhe would shoot her in her tracks, a\nthreat she was fully convinced he\nwould carry Into effect. He himself\nholding the other end of the lariat,\njoined Ids companions, who were by\nnow lounging on lhe ground a few\nfeel away.\nSecurely fastened as she was she\nStood for some time leaning against\nthe tree, and alter a while sal down.\nAs the twlliglii deepened she endear-.\nored 'o evolve iii her mind a plan of\nescape, hut the more she though! of\nher situation Ihe more hopeless her\nchances, seemed to be. The only\navenue ot escape that presented itself\nto her was. the hope that her father\nwould organize a search parly for Tier\nrescue, bul as this would take some\nlime to accomplish, It offered * her\nsmall consolation. By the time ns-\nsislance could be called by her father\nthese bandits would have taken her\nmany miles away from the scene of\nthe hold-up. She also feared the'\ndangers that WOUldAttend an attempt\nal rescue. She realized Ihal she was\nin the hands of desperadoes\u00E2\u0080\u0094men\nwho would not hesitate to commit\nmurder to escape capture. In her\ndesperation she faced' 'the tree to\nwhich she was tied, and leaning\nagainst il, offered up a fervent silent\nprayer In Cod for help, courage and\ninspiration in her dangerous plight.\nAs-she thus prayed, her hand came in\ncontacl with an overhanging piece of\nloose birch hark. This she absently\nstripped off ihe tree, and, later, slipped ii into the pockel of her jacket.\nThen turning around she sat down\nwith her back against the tree for\nsupport.\nA lew feat awav the men were engaged in conversation carried on in\nlow voices. Listening Intently to\ntheir conversation, she overheard\nthem discussing their plans of escape\nlo lhe south.\nShe learned that ii was Ihelr intention lo start on their trip as soon as\nIt was dark. She further overheard\nthai their objective for tile first stage\nof their journey was a secret camping\nground in lly valley of tlie SpUl'is.\nThere they intended to remain in hiding during lhe nexl day and till shortly before daylight ihe next morning.\nAi that hour they would make a dash\nacross the l'nited Stales boundary,\nwhen in the darkness of early morning, they were confident of escaping\nthe vigilance of Hie Mounted Police,\nwho, during ihe troublesome times of\nihal year, kept a strict patrol along\nthe boundary.\nInspired by ihe Information overheard and deciding to make use of lhe\nshadow of the increasing darkness,\nshe pulled out. of her pocket the roll\nof birch bark. Then, wiih tlie stub\nof a pencil Ihal she had in her pocket,\nshe scribbled on its smooth surface a\nnote, giving the gist of lhe plans of\nIhe outlaws. Replacing it into her\npocket, she decided lo await an oppor-\nlunily to drop it where il would be\neasily noticed by a rescue parly.\nSitting there as the darkness deepened, her .thoughts wandered back to\nher home. She thought thai, at that\nhour her mother, always solicitous of\nher safely, would be anxiously looking for her return. Slowly the tears\ncrept down her cheeks as, more and\nmore, she realized tlie anguish of her\nmother's heart al the unknown fate of\nher only child. Those were not tears\nof self-pity nor of fear, but of sorrow\nand sympathy for the father and\nmother, who were soon fated lo realize the dangers that encompassed her.\nBound and held captive as she was in\nihe hands of the merciless bandits,\nshe had not yet, however, abandoned\nhopes of escape or rescue. Her intuition and the buoyancy of youth kept\nup her spirits, and Ihe dangers that.\nthreatened her only tended to sharpen her wits. With all her faculties\nalert lo all lhat passed around her,\nshe bravely faced the situation in\nwhich she found herself placed. Helpless as she semed to be. she was still\nhopeful that an opening for escape\nwould present itself to her. Thus\nshe sat as the- twilight of evening\ndeepened into the darkness of night,\nand awaited the next move of her cap-\nlors, whom she knew would soon be\nmaking a move for a start to the\nsoulh. **\" '\nWhen darknes shad descended\npreparations were commenced for lhe\nslart.

However, as soon as lhe\nfrost Is out of the ground Sufficiently\nIbis spring, 1 would advise you lo have\nIt dug deeply With a toi'lt or simile,\nand If lhe soil bo poor see that some\nwoll rolled manure is worked In during lite digging process.\nAs it Is too early (o atari work on\nlhe land, I would suggest that you secure a seed catalogue front some reliable seedsman. Now you will have\nan Interesting time choosing among\nIhe many different kinds of plants,\nand possibly some worry, if you do not\nknow whal plants you want lo grow.\nLot us first consider lho hardy annuals as Ihey are lhe easiesrto grow.\nThoy require no artificial aid, such as\nhotbed or greenhouse, but grow and\nbloom freely in the open air. ' The\nseed should be sown outdoors as soon\nas lhe ground can be worked freely.\nThe following kinds are best for the\nprairie country: Sunflower, Sweet\nPeas, Centaurea or Cornflower, Marigold, Poppies, Calliopsls, Dwarf and\nClimbing Nasturtiums, Phlox, Di'um-\nlndfldi, Mignonette, Candytuft, California Poppy, Portulaca, Calendula and\nSweet Alyssum.\nIf you wisli to obtain extra early\nbloom, you should sow seed of Marl-\ngold, Centaurea, Nasturtium and Phlox\nindoors In shallow boxes about the\nmiddle of March. Put two or throe\ninches of sandy loam in the box, sow\nyour seed and cover twice the thickness of the seed, pressing lhe soil\ndown with a board or the palm of\nyour haml.\nWhen they ar.e well out of tile seed-\nloaf they should be planted in other\nboxes, in rows about three inches\napart to allow them room to grow and\nmake slrong plants. They should be\nplanted in their permanent places\nabout the middle of May.\nOf the half-hardy annuals there are\nseveral lhat you can use lo advantage\nsuch as Aster, Flowering Tobacco\nPlant, Zinnia, Slock, Verbena, Petunia,\nPyrolhrum (Golden Feather) nnd Lobelia. All of these can be raised indoors from seeds as outlined for Ihe\nhardy annuals but would advise planting them outdoors a Utile later, say\nabout the first week in June, or when\nilangur of frost Is over.\nAs there, are few biennials worth\nthe trouble to plant, wo will nol stop\nto consider them.\nPassing on to the perennials, we\nfind many old favorites such as Gd'il-\nen Clow, .Canterbury Bell, Columbine,\nBleeding Heart, Larkspur, Iris, Perennial Phlox, Pueouy, Cypsophllla,\nOriental and Iceland Poppy, Sweet\nWilliam, Pinks and Pyrolhrum\nRoseum.\n1 would not advise lo raise all of\nthose from seed, but rather buy the\nroots or plants. There are a number,\nhowever, lhat would nol bo difficult lo\nraise from seed, but you would nol\ngel much bloom the flrsl year. Perennials can be left In Ihe ground ovi\nWinter, hut should be covered Willi\nsllawy ltMtn.Ul'0 or other inter.\nOf Hie less hardy varieties', I might\nMention the Dahlia, roots of which\nmay bo planted In Ihe spring, will give\na gootl show of bloom during lhe Inlo\nsummer, but Iho roots must bo dug\nup after the first few frosts and Hlor-\ned in cellar tyer whiter, The Foxglove and Hollyhock are very desirable plants but mi' not hardy enough\nMo stand a severe winter.\ni We will assume now lhat planllng\nhas arrived and thai you are going to\nstart on your mixed flower border.

The Com-\nCanada will play an Important part in the first World\nPower Conference that la to be held In London,\nEngland, from June 80th to July 12th, and thla because\nafter the United States, she possesses greater potential\nwater powers than any other country and because in\npoint of per capita production of electric power ahe\nstands almost at the head of all nations, her production,\nin this respect being three times greater than that of the\nUnited States.\nThla Is rapidly becoming the electric age, a fact which\nthe impending Conference, which is being held under the\nauspices of the British Electrical and Allied Manufacturers Association in co-operation with several of\nthe most technical, scientific and industrial Institutions\nthroughout tho World, emphasizes greatly. The Canadian committee consists of tho leading members of the\nelectrical engineering profession with Dr. Charlea Cam-\nBell, deputy Minister of Mines aa chairman.\nSo far aa Canada ia concerned the hydro-electric\ndevelopment is a twentieth century development. A\nStarter of a century ago there was very little hydro-\nectrlc development in Canada. In 1910 the turbine\ninstallation of water power plants in Canada waa but\n966,000 h.p.; in 1916 it was 2,078,000 h.p.; in 1920 it was\n2,483,000 h.p.; in 1923 it was 3,228,000 h.p. Next year\nit ia expected to be 4,000,000 h.p., tho indications being\nthat 6,000,000 h.p. will be reached by 1930.\nCanada is very fortunate in that her large water\npowera are located comparatively close to the centres\nof her industrial life. When it comes to ability to use\nher water powers she is immeasurably better off than the\nUnited States, 70 per cent of the latter* being in the\nWestern states, remote from industrial centres. Within\na radius of 300 miles of tbe Long Sault rapids on the St.\nmiaalon are Installing an additional 2M00 h.p. during H14.\na. Hydro-Electric Development of the Manitoba Power Company\nLimited at (treat Falls on the Winnipeg river, Canada. The\nInitial lrur.ll.rlun nf IK,000 h.p. was brought Into operation\nduring 1V..I, the power being .eld to and distributed by the\nWinnipeg Electric Railway Company Limited. It le propoeed\nto add a third unit of IS.OO* h.p. In IM4. Tha ultimate deelgned\ncapacity of the plant le 168,*** h.p.\nLawrence river, there are available water powera exceeding 9,000,000 horse power. A* it ia through the\ndevelopment of water power that other operations ara\nmade cheaper, capital for it can be more readily secured,\nand it is for this reason that the power producing industry\nhas progressed more rapidly than any other in Canada\nduring the past few years.\nBriefly, the objects of the Power Conference are to\nconsider how the industrial and 'Scientific sources of\npower may be adjusted nationally and internationally;\nby considering the potential resources of each country\nin hydro-electric power, oil and minerals, by comparing\nexperiences in the development of scientific agriculture,\nirrigation and transportation by land water and air;\nby conferences of civil, mechanical, marine and mining\nengineers; by consultation of the consumers of power\nand the manufacturera of the Instruments ot production,\nby discussion on the financial and economic phases of the\nindustry, by conference on the possibility of establishing\na permanent World Bureau for the collection of data, the\npreparation of Inventories of tho world's resources and\nthe exchange of Industrial and scientific Information\nthrough the representatives of the varloua countries:\nIt will be seen then, that the Dominion'* part In tha\nConference cannot be n rt.iall one and that through th*\ndissemination of knowledge ot her resourcea ahe atands\nto gain considerably. It is Interesting to note in this connection that for every new power scheme which calls for\nlarge investment, the money come* chiefly from abroad.\nIndeed it is probably that since 191R several hundreds of\nmillions ot dollars have been aecured in this way and It I*\nimpossible to overestimate the importance of water-\npower development aa a mean* of attracting Capital to\nCanada.\nThe Sedan Taxi\n*\nReady to take you regardless\nof the weather\nwhether on Business or Pleasure\nBent.\nPhone\nDAY\nOR\nNIGHT\n11-L\nCHAS.
