CANADIAN MAGAZINE ADVERTISER For 1902 One hundred years ago there were only a few printing presses in Canada—not enough to stock one first—class modern establishment. Fifty years ago even, the newspapers and periodicals of Canada were scarce, small and practically unil— lustrated—zinc etchings were unknown and_ half—tones and photo—gravures were not even known to fancy. _ Even twenty— five years ago, illustrating was in its infancy. To—day the illustrated periodical is a thing of beauty, a work of art. The litterateur and the artist walk hand in hand. By means of pen and camera the magazine takes the reader into every land. The curiosities of civilization are laid bare to all peoples. The magazine of to—day is a library, a club, and a substitute for travel. And some magazines are better than others. The ambition of the publishers of Tmr Canaptan Maca— zINnE is to have the most artistic, the best—printed and the highest—class periodical in Canada. For nine years they have, in the face of many difficulties, pursued this aim. To—day it is realized. To—morrow it may not be, unless THE CANADIAN‘ Macazinr is improved from month to month. Hence during 1go2 every care will be taken to see that each number is an improvement ovéer its predecessor. The range of reading will be widened, the number of articles increased, and the mechan— ical production made the subject of the closest attention. . Sub— scribers are assured of receiving greater pleasure and profit during 1902 than during 1gor. Canada‘s national publication will be kept worthy of Canada‘s national progress. The Janu— ary number will contain articles of more than ordinary interest. Prospectus for 1902 on application.

In the famous Sudbury region Ontario possesses one of the two sources of the world‘s supply of nickel, and the known deposits of this metal are very large. Recent discoveries of corundum in Eastern Ontario are believed to be the most extensive in existence. The output of iron, copper and nickel in 1900 was much beyond that of any previous year, and large developments in these industries are now going on. In the older parts of the Province salt, petroleum and natural gas are important products. The mining laws of Ontario are liberal, and the prices of mineral lands low. — Title by freehold or lease, on working—conditions for seven years. There are no royalties.

Before describing the most striking features of the Pan—American in detail, it may be well to glance for a moment at Canada‘s exhibit. One would sup— pose that when the Canadian authori— ties decided to have a building there they would proceed to collect for it all the evidences of our industrial, com— mercialand agricultural progress They would be expected to write to our bookmakers and publishers for sam— BVILPING en 9 o I ples of their books and journals ; to the boot and shoe manufacturers for samples of their products ; to our cot— ton, woollen and carpet manufacturers for specimens of their handicraft ; to our founders and machinists for exam— ples of our iron and steel products, and so on. But that is just what the Canadian Commissioner did not do, in spite of the fact that all that such a display would have cost would be the transportation there and back. The Canadian building was a neat little home for Canadian visitors, with an exhibit of wheat and a case or two of stuffed animals. _ Our manufactures and our commerce were unrepresented. Even Chili, which is far be— hind us in industrial and commercial progress, had a building and an exhibit such as Canada might have been expected to have. Her build— ing contained boots and shoes, iron ores, electrical machinery, artistic house— hold furnishings, and other evidences of industrial pro— gress.

Ontario‘s exhibit of fruit, cheese, cattle, sheep, and minerals was excel— lent, and the Province will certainly be much benefitted commercially. The idea IOI friendship and noble emulation all the dwellers on the continents and islands of the New World." Even the architecture of the building was a free treatment of the Spanish Renaissance as a compliment to the Latin— American nations. The idea was admirably conceived, and if all the countries of the New World had been adequately re— presented, both in exhibits and in attendance, the good accom— plished would have been difficult of estimation. It is much to be greater success and more tangible results, Nevertheless, in spite of failure writ large, the Pan—American must have con— siderable effect. _ It will strengthen the relations between American countries. It will influence the work of artists, painters and sculptors. It will influence the industrial and commercial future of the continent.

The other buildings were purposely kept somewhat smaller in scale and less monumental in character in order to give the tower its full value. As this is the age of electricity, it was fitting that the tower should symbolize that feature of modern development. It was designed to afford an opportunity for a lavish display of electric power in the form of a majestic fountain and ._] =n a scheme of brilliant illuminations. The total height was 389 feet, and the square at the base was 7734 feet, while the colonnades had an extreme width of 255 feet. When that tower was about to be illuminated each night, thousands of eyes were turned toward it. The lights about the Court of Fountains, along the Plaza and in the Sunken Gardens faded out. There was a momentary pall of darkness. Then a pale subter— ranean blue appeared in the water niche and suffused the central fountain. stronger. Pale pink began to show in the thousands of bulbs so artistically combined in the four brooches above the water niche. It spread over the tower, along the walks, over the buildings, along the eaves and ridges, steadily growing in strength and intensity. Finally the whole glory of the electric city bursts forth, and the greatest fairyland yet produced in this electric age is seen in all its dazzling, scintillating glory.

The Pan differed from the Colum— bian Exposition most markedly in the use of colour in the buildings instead of a pure white city. The whole colour scheme was worked out under the direction of Mr. C. Y. Furner, who was chosen by the U.S. National Society of Mural Painters. The Triumphal Causeway, where the visitor passed from the Park side of the grounds to the Exhibition side, was treated in strong primary colours, sug— gesting the earliest state of man on STANDARD—BEARER—PLACED ON EACH OF THE FOUR PYLONS ‘THE TRIUMPHAL CAUSE— way.

As he advanced up the court into the Exposition, the colours were more refined and gayer, reaching a climax at the tower, which was the lightest and brightest. _ Thus, for the first time, a general scheme of colour was undertaken and carried out for an exposition. _ Mr. Turner has thus de— scribed his work :— The Horticultural group has orange as a basis for the colour of the body of taurant and entrances to the Stadium have a French gray as the basis, with a lighter shade of the same tint on the Propylaea. For the Electric Tower I reserved a light ivory. The buildings of the Sunken Gardens are of a darker shade of ivory. In the Horticultural group I have used blue and white largely in the ornamental portions of the panels, pilasters, spandrils, etc., relieved now and again by brighter shades of rose and deep yellow. The ((c the building. On the G Building a warm yellow is used for the plain surfaces. For the Music Hall, I have used red, quite pure, as the foun— dation colour. On the Ethnology Build— ing, golden orange. On the Machin— ery and Transportation Building, green as the basis. Opposite it, across the Court, the Liberal Arts Building is a warm gray colour. The Electricity and Agricultural Buildings are different shades of light yellow, while the Res— Buildings have a mild gray for the structural portions to re— lieve the yellow, and in this building, where it is possible, the green note is introduced in the sashes and doors; blue on the dome, and gold on the smaller domes. Blue—green is on the dome of the Temple of Music, and is repeated again on the Ethnology Build— ing. On the Machinery and Trans— portation Building, red, yellow, and green are introduced in the great door— 106 THE FAILURE OF THE PAN—AMERICAN 107 ways and corner pavilions, and also are distributed through the towers, while blue and gold play a large part in the detail work of the Liberal Arts Building, especially on the ceilings of the colonnades and east and west en— trances, and in the great pediments of the north and south entrances. The yellow of the Electricity Building is doorways which are elaborately en— riched in their ornament by delicate shades of the prevailing tones used throughout the Exposition. The Agri— cultural Building is warmer, and there are blue, yellow and ivory, and stronger notes of red and green in the entrances. The Restaurants are ivory and French gray. The sashes and doors are paint— ed green, and the minarets and pin— nacles are tipped with gold. The Propylzean which curves across the north end of the grounds has a wide open arcade, the panels of which are enriched with brilliant red where white statues are placed, while the panels above are a bright yellow. The ceil— ings are blue, and the trellis above is made a strong violet hue. Violet occurs again at the entrances from the Railway Station through the great Arch. The Railway Transportation Building is in a French gray with green roof and ivory and gold trimmings, while the Stadium, one of the most im— posing buildings of the Exposition, will be a light ivory—gray, with pale blue— green sashes and doors. The Tower, as I have said before, is a very light ivory, and is enriched in the capitols, brackets, finials, stars, pinnacles, etc., with gold, and is crowned with a gild— ed figure of the Goddess of Light. TOWERS OF MACHINERY & TRANS N UviLPING * The panels have the brightest fresh blue—green we could make, and is in— tended to suggest the water as it curves over the crest at Niagara." The Pan was a failure, and yet a glorious failure. The men who were connected with it, and of whose genius it was the result, have some things to regret, much to remember, and some pleasant memories to retain. If Cana— da ever has a national exposition, the lessons of the Pan will be useful. Not too much haste, not too much expen— diture without justification, a greater permanency in building and decoration, more attention to exhibits which edu— cate and interest, a greater atten— tion to the processes which underlie modern development, and less freedom to the fakir, the hawker and the advertiser. ~HRISTMAS DAY, 1899, is the date of one of the greatest tra— gedies known to Canadian history, and the Yukon River was the scene of a most deliberate and cold—blooded crime. It occurred in a wild, sparsely— settled mining country, in the shade of the Arctic cirele, at a point on the Yukon known as Pork Trail, which is near Fort Selkick. ‘This Fort is 175 miles south of Dawson, and 200 miles north of Whitehorse which is the ter— minus of the railway from the L)nn Canal to the Yukon River. The tra gedy happened about half way between Whitehorse and Dawson at a when the only communication between these two points was a lone telegraph wire and a long stretch of snow and fee. The winter of 1899 came early, and many scows loaded with supplies, eat or machinery for Dawson and the Klondike Mines, had been stranded on bars or caught by the early ice to— ward the end of October. The steam— ers had ceased running, so that most of these goods were placed on safe ground and ‘"cached" or surrounded by log walls and covered by tarpaulins A watchman placed in charge of the nearest detach— ment of North—West Mounted Police. These detachments of two or three men are scattered along the trail at intervals of about thirty miles, and patrol to and fro between their posts. These caches were a temptation to the few loose fish who might be on the trail, and considerable stealing was done from them At intervals of from five to fifteen miles along the whole winter road are scattered comfortable roadhouses built of logs. At intervals along the bank of thc river are scattered the camps or cabins of the woodchoppers cutting wood for the use of the steamers dur— ing the season of THE MYSTERIOUS CAMP 108 open navigation. Minto r o a d— house is twenty— four miles south of Fort Selkirk, and _ Hutchi— ku post, N.W.M.P., is about fifteen milesfarther south of Minto. _ When the river closed up in November, a Mr. Powell and party began to sled freshly killed ork _ from _ his scows at Lake La— Berge down the river toward Sel— kirk and Dawson. THE YUKON RIVER TRAGEDY Between Hutchi—ku and Minto he found an open place in the river and was ob— liged to abandon the ice for three miles and cut a trail overland. This trail was called the "Pork Trail," and in places ran close to the Dominion Gov— ernment telegraph line between White— horse and Dawson On Christmas Dav, 1899, three men, Clayson, Relfe and Olsen, started about 8 o‘clock, a.m., from Captain Fussel‘s roadhouse at \Imto to go to Mackay‘s roadhouse, some miles past Hutchi—ku. Clayson was pushing a yele which he had ridden from Daw— so_ nearly to Selkirk, and had broken the treadle. Bicycles are much used on the hard snow trails in Yukon. Clayson and Relfe had come from Dawson. Olsen was the line repairer for that section of the Governmen telegraph line. He was expected to have his dinner of roast turkey by invitation with Corporal " Paddy" Ryan in com— mand of the detachment at Hutchi— ku. None of the three men were ever seen again alive. When the mail con— voy reached Minto about 2 coming down from Mackay‘s, they had not met the travellers, much to Capt. Fussel‘s surprise. Olsen‘s non—arrival for dinner sur— prised Corp. Ryan, and after a couple of days made him quite uneasy. Fearing that the repairer had fallen from a pole and injured himself, Ryan determined to search for him. It was customary but not imperative that a policeman should accompany the lineman, in case of accident. In his search for Olsen on the 31st December, Ryan traversed the Pork Trail. ‘About midway along it he noticed a trail leading off over the flats toward the hills. Connecting this trail with certain disappearances from caches on the river, he followed it six hundred yards, and found a camp composed of low log walls covered with a canvas roof, the whole about eight feet square. It had evidently been occupied by two men, consider— ing the double bunk and outfit of dishes for two. — He noticed a rifle in a case suapended from the ridge pole. He reported his dlscovery at the 109 post that night, and learned that it was thought that two other men had disappeared from the trail. A watch was set on the tent, but no occupant appeared. _A further search in it revealed a small pile of canned goods marked ‘" McKay Bros., Dawson," evidently taken from a cache on the river near the northern end of the Pork Trail. The Winchester rifle was found to be 40—82 calibre. A bag of ammu— nition for it was found, and also a pair of pincers or telegraph pli— ers, a file and aknife. These were after— wards identi— fied as being the property search which lasted for m on t hs. News of the mysterious disappear— ance of Clay— son and his com panions was wired to his brother at Skagway, on the Lyan Canal, and in February, McGuire, a United Sta— tes detective of note, ar— rived to a sist the pohce Inspector Scarth, a clever young officer of the N. W.M.P., who has since received a captaincy in the South African Constabulary, was sent from Dawson to take charge of the search. It was prosecuted most actively during the months of March and April. Ddy after day the search— ers crept around on their hands and knees sifting the fine snow between their fingers around the deserted tent, and along a new hidden trail near the CLAYSON AND HIS, BICVCLE 110 THE CANADIAN MAGAZINE river bank, where evidence of shooting had been found. The ashes of the sheet iron stove were found to contain moccasin eyelets and buttons. Among the ashes of a bonfire outside the tent were found charred pieces of clothing and iron buttons. Around this ﬁre in a semi— circle at various distances, as if a man had stood and thrown them, were found buckles, keys of safe drawers, an oil bottle, pieces of an electric belt, and a pearl—handled penknife. The uckles were found among the brush of tion to a lookout point, and in the other to the top of a cut bank forty feet high, where there was an open place in the river into which tell—tale objects could be thrown. The people who had occupied the now deserted hut had cut down some trees at the * lookout " so that they were able to command a good view of the river. They could mark the coming of any person from Dawson and note whether he branched off on the Pork Trail or came along the ice. In either case he had to pass close to one of the branches of the con— cealed trails which connected the look— out, the cut bank at the river and the hut. THE LOOK—OUT—THE TREES WERE CUT DOWN OUS CAMP IN ORDER TO GET A CL The pearl—handled knife and safe drawer keys were easily proved to be the property of Clayson. One of these little articles was found in the tangled grass of a "nigger head" or lump of earth. Most of the articles were found when the snow was going off in the sprin In the meantime the detectives had discovered a system of trails cleverly marked so as to attract no atten— tion from any one except those usmg them. One led back from the river bank at a point where the ice trail ran within thirty feet of it, to other intersecting trails, leading in one direc— HERE BY THOSE WHO LIVED IN THE MYSTER— EAR VIEW OF THE YUKON RIVER It seemed quite clear that people with evil intent had ctmped there and had waited for victims. Three men had disappeared. Were they victims of those who had lived at that now deserted hut? The articles found around the hut clearly mrhcated that the clothing of the missing me or some one of them had been burled there. But it was on the short trail running back from the low bank of the river upp there were pools of frozen blood. I the three men were murdered there, theriverice? Were Bullets were found inthetrees; empty shells were picked up in the snow ; a receipt in the name of Olsen for a meal at Minto was dis— covered; and numerous _ other articles and evi— dences of the tra— gedy or calamity which had marred that Christmas Day. What had become of the bodies of these men if they had been murdered? Evidence pointed to their having been dragged to the cut bank and thrown down on to the river ice. Was the ice cut and were the bodies forced down into the cold waters? It was the only explanation. Some shallow places in the river were uncovered but no lodged bodies were found. A water glass was used without result. During the month of June, or a few weeks after the ice had gone from the river, the Yukon yielded up her dead. They were TOP OF THE CUT BANK ABOVE THE RIVER skull crushed. His body was the last re— sixteen, a fact he had discussed with a policeman. The arms of each as well as their sweaters or knitted shirts were turned up over their heads, showing that their clothing had been carefully rifled by the ghouls. The clothing on the men were identified, particularly a pair of found one after the other at different places below Min— to, in shallows and on gravel bars. The cold water had preserved thent re— markably well, and the friends of the murdered men were able to easily identify them. Clayson and Relfe were found to have been shot through the breast and head. — Olsen was shot through the head and had his THE CUT BANK ON THE YUKON ae THE CANADIAN MAGAZINE cavalry trousers that Relfe wore. The broken bicycle is possibly at the bot— tom of the river. No doubt the con— federates drew the bodies from the slaughter trail to the open space after night, and threw them into the water. The extra clothing carried by their victims was drawn to the tent, and after being carefully searched and the lining ripped open, was burned at the bonfire outside. Three men had been_ murdered. Who were the murderers? In No— vember and December two men had been seen singly or together, and at different times on the trail south of Fort Selkirk. Mr. Powell, who cut the Pork Trail had seen one of them, and two of his men had visited the cabin and seen the two policeman had also visited them. Mr. and Mrs. Prather, going down from Dawson to Whitehorse, had travelled over the Pork Trail by mis— take on Decemher 27th. They were confused and not sure whether they were on the right trail. They met a man who was also lost, so he said. This man travelled with them for some days, and though pretending to be poor, Mrs. Prather saw him by the light of a lamp counting a large roll of bank notes while sitting in his sleeping— bunk. Later, this same man, with his yellow dog, turns up at Whitehorse with a team of horses and a pair of bob—sleighs. He wants to engage in freight business, but is refused per— mission by the superintendent of the railway who controls the only road. He then starts off for Tagish. One night he gets permission to stable his horses in an unfinished police stable. The robe on his sleigh attracts the attention of the police, was known as ©"O‘Brien," and by order of Major Wood he is placed under surveillance~ until Dawson is communicated : with, and his story of its issue to him is confirmed by wire. But the name is familiar at police headquarters, and a few hours later a telegram comes to Tagish that O‘— Brien is wanted on a charge of steal— > > ing. That will hold him for the present. In the meantime the individual has gone back to the Indian roadhouse with a damsel called " Dawson Jenny," and prepares to spend the evening at her cabin. . When the dogs announce the coming of some one he asks Jenny to blow out the candle; as it attracts the attention of the dogs. The two policemen pass by to : the roadhouse, and then return to the cabin, which they enter, after taking the precaution of getting one of Jenny‘s Indian friends to tell her to open the door, so that O‘Brien will not understand. The find O‘Brien sitting behind the stove, arrest him and take him back to the "I e st. When he and his effects are searched, a considerable list of articles are found in his possession. Among them are a 30—30 calibre Winchester rifle, two 41 calibre Colts revolvers, and plenty of ammunition for the same. On his person was found a pair of silk gloves. The money found on him_ only amounted to fifty dollars. It was dur— ing a later search of his effects, after McGuire‘s arrival, that the heel pads on his German socks were ripped off, and, underneath them two $100 bank— notes were found. The prisoner, to account for the money, claimed that it was part of one thousand dollars sent in, or re— turned to him by a brother on the outside. He also admitted having taken some goods from caches. He was taken under strong guard to Fort Selkirk, where, after a preliminary hearing on the charge of stealing, he was sent on to Dawson. E the nturderer of the three men, and where was his com— panion known as Graves? George O‘Brien was born in England, and served a sentence there for murder. Nothing more of him is known until he made proposals at Juneau to a miner to go into the highway business in Yukon. He was a short, jaunty, dark—complexioned man, and nervy, in the sense that he did not appear to have any nerves. He was always ready to use a firearm. He was given THE YUKON RIVER TRAGEDY a term in jail in Dawson for stealing in 1898, broke jail during that winter, and was recaptured a little below Dd\\- son, after having tried to use his rifle ; was given six months extra for ]axl- bredl\uw' and being released in bep- tember, 1899, went up the river. Graves, his companion in crime, had been a fireman on one of the numerous river steamers, and was a small, sandy— complexioned man with freckled face. Graves was never seen after O‘Brien started up the river from the scene of the Christmas tragedy. — He may have gone down the river into Alaska, but no trace. of him has ever been found. Detectives _ w ho visited Alaskan camps since could not find . him, though some peo— ple have thought that they had pas— sed him and his black dog on the trails. During the long interval _ between O‘Brien‘s _ arrest and trial he was held first on the charge of stealing, and later, on the charge of murder, being up for exam— ination several times. But neither he nor the public learned any of the proofs in the possession of the police except some that developed at the inquest on the bodies, until the guilty man was confronted with a mass of evidence of which he never dreamed. Dawson has three live daily newspap— ers, but the police and the crown prose— cutor kept their peace well, and the success of the case is largely due to that. Nothing of all the circumstan— tial evidence already outlined in this article was reported until the trial. O‘Brien made little or no effort to hasten the trial. He thought no doubt that time was in his favour, as it would be almost impossible to have the wit— POLICEMAN SEARCHING ALONG 6 » uts nesses kept together or available, and that was the dlfﬁculty the prosecution laboured under. Witnesses were averse to be bound over for an indefinite period. Mr. Prather had business at Nome, and went down the river in a small boat, but Mrs. Prather was not so fortunate. She had taken her pass— age on one of the lower river steamers. The police became aware of it and she was taken off under a formal summons as a witness. She was kept in Daw— son during the summer, and on her giving her word of honour to return when required she was allowed to spend the winter in her California THE TRAILS AND AMONG THE TREES ©BLAZED home. She proved to be a valuable witness for the crown. The trial opened on the 10th of June, 1go01, and lasted for twelve days. In Yukon Territory only six jurors are necessary to try a case. An excellent jury, representing by birth, Canada, Australia and the mother country, was selected in a couple of hours. Mr. Justice Dugas, chief justice of Yukon Territory, and a Montreal jurist of re— pute, presided over the court. The prisoner was defended by Mr. Bleeker. Mr. Fred C.

He had served a sentence in Dawson for stealing dur— ing the winter of 1898—99, and had met and talked with O‘Brien while there. O‘Brien made a proposition to him to establish on the winter trail when they got out, hold up people and throw their bodies into the river. West was op— posed to murdering people as he held 115 not quick enough. While the policemen were turning his sled around, one of them cut a o'ash in his hand on a sliver projecting from the handle of the axe. The sliver was cut out later, and the scar on the handle remained. When O‘Brien was liberated, the axe and the sheet iron stove, which was afterwards found in the tent, were returned to him.

It was found under the snow near the tent. It was recog— nized by the police as the property of O‘Brien. When he escaped from jail in 1898, he was recaptured just below Dawson by two policemen. O‘Brien was sitting on his sled, with his rifle across his knee. The police, in civilian clothes, passed him, then turned sud— denly and sprang on him. O‘Brien made an effort to use his rifle but was 2 YUKON RIVER TRAGEDY they cut down twenty—seven trees to get a good view, and the stumps of many of these trees were sawn off and shown in court. The nicks in the blade of the old axe could be readily fitted to marks on the stumps, and the work too was the work of amateur choppers like the pair. It was proved the crown ofa tooth found in the snow under one of the blood patches fitted on the top of a tooth taken from Relfe‘s recovered body—the deadly bullet had broken it off. It was shown that two trees «oolivneniieenie 116 THE CANADIAN MAGAZLINE standing close to the camp had been used to chain up two dogs. Big yellow dog hairs were found under one and O‘Brien‘s yellow canine companion was proved to be the owner. he de— tectives had taken the dog near the site and bidden him sharply to go home. The experiment worked well, the dog being found later lying under this particular tree, where he desired to remain. Capt. Fussel, in charge of the nearest roadhouse, testified to hav— ing seen smoke from the cabin on December 26th. Splinters of skulls were found near the places where the men had been shot. Combs, cigars, pocket pieces, gloves, rifles, pliers and bullets, all added their testimony. The combined circumstantial evi— dence went to show that after sighting the approaching party from the look— out, and having got into place on the short trail, one of the murderers re— mained concealed, while the other, presumably Graves, went down on the river trail 'md compelled the three at derers opened fire because the unfortu— nate men started to scatter in different directions. But their flight was short. Graves, standing midway up the low bank, put a bullet from his 40—82 Win— chester through Clayson‘s body before he got twenty feet from the edge of the bank, on the right side of the trail, as he ran for a thicket. It was known that Graves stood midway up the bank, because an empty shell from his rifle was found where he stood, and the trace of his bullet was found in a tree nine feet from the ground some dis— tance beyond and in line with the spot where Clayson fell. Experiments with a rifle and target proved the fact. Relfe got about forty feet away on the opposite side of the trail when he fell with a bullet through his heart. Olsen, a powerful Swede, was evi— dently met by O‘Brien, who used his revolver on him without effect at first. Eventually he was shot or beaten down, as he had a bullet wound through his head, which was terribly crushed, and the skull fractured. Several of his ribs were also broken. To make sure of their work, Relfe and Clayson were shot through the head as they lay on the ground. Constable Pennycuick, the able N.W.M.P. detective, had drawn a set of plans of the river and trails, and the location of the finds, that were much praised for their clearness. Corporal Ryan, a clever amateur photographer, made a set of views of the locality. By means of these and the accompany— ing directions, the judge and jury understood the locality as if they had been over i After all the evidence was in for the crown, the defence did not offer any in rebuttal. After the addresses by the counsels, and the judge‘s charge, the jury spent two hours in carefully going over the evidence, and then brought in a verdict of " Guilty." O‘Brien did not apparently manifest any concern then, nor when the judge sentenced him to be hanged on the 23rd Aug— ust, Igor. His real name is not known, and he is believed to be a Cornishman. Christmas CGCames in French Canada 7 By J.Macdonald Oxley NO people enter with keener zest into their social enjoyments than do the light—hearted folk of French Canada, and as may be readily sup— posed the special season for such inno— cent gaiety is the Christmastide when they celebrate Noél with a joyous fer— vour not to be outdone elsewhere. For the merry meetings that then while away the long winter evenings, besides the lively dance, or the more sedate game of cards, they have a number of games which they play with great vivacity, and from which they derive abundant amusement. LA GEOGRAPHIE. Thus there is "La Geographie" whereof the manner of playing is as follows : Each player has paper and pencil, and all take seats in a row, or better still, in a semi—circle. The head of the line then calls out, say, " Countries— Asia," and at once writes " Asia" at the top of his paper, the other players imitating his example. The player next to him must then before ten is slowly counted call out the name of another country whose initial lettter is the same as the final letter of "" Asia." Suppose he or she calls out America." Very good; ‘""America" is jotted down, and now the third player has to call out a country whose name begins with A. After some thinking "Africa" suggests itself. All right ; down goes * Africa," and still the demand is for a country beginning with A. But the fourth player introduces variety by calling. out " Afghanistan," so that number five has to seek a country ~ we beginning with N. Happily Nor— way" soon comes into the mind, although it leaves an awkward nut for number six to crack. Thus the game proceeds, the penalty for failure to supply a name or town being whatever may be agreed upon— a forfeit, being sent down to the foot, etc. Cities, rivers, mountains, etc., may be treated in the same way, or if the players find it too difficult to con— fine themselves to one geographical feature the whole field of geography may be thrown open, the only require— ment being that each new name should begin with the last letter of the pre— ceding one. LA MAIN CHAUDE. Of a more lively kind is "" La Main Chaude "—the warm hand—a sugges— tive title, whose complete appropriate— ness will appear from the following description : One of the players takes his seat in a chair. Another is blindfolded, and, either kneeling down before the sitter or simply bending forward, as he may prefer, rests his head on the other‘s knee. Behind his back, with palm out— stretched, he holds his right hand. The game is now ready to begin. The other players range themselves round the blindfolded one whose palm lies so temptingly open, and in turn give his hand a smart slap with theirs. It is the business of the unfortunate wight thus being slapped to guess who strikes him, the sitter determining the accuracy of the guess, and the instant he guesses correctly, the person whom he has thus found out takes his place, and the game proceeds. When not too roughly played a great deal of fun may be had out of La Main Chaude," but of course such undue violence must be guarded against as is illustrated in the famous French picture which represents a lot of monks diverting themselves with 117 cmmnementntane 118 THE CANADIAN MAGAZINE this lively game. _ The blindfolded victim is evidently a novitiate, and a great coarse monk with a cruel grin upon his bloated countenance is Just about to smite the extended hand with his heavy wooden sabot, while a gentle— faced brother is lifting his hand in shocked protest. _ It is a powerful pic— ture, and a good lesson against cruelty in itse THE GIRLS‘ GRAND LODGE. Not without its spice of malice, and yet after all harmless enough in its way, is "The Girls‘ Grand Lodge of Oddfellows." In this the girls take entire pos— session of the parlour, placing a guard at the door to prevent any male intruder from surreptitiously effecting an entrance. The boys are then per— mitted to offer themselves one at a time in the alphabetlcal order of their names for initiation into the lodge. Let us suppose that Arthur Anderson is the first candidate. On being ad— mitted into the mysterious parlour he finds the girls standing in a semi—circle at the farther end of the room with the piano stool in front of them. There is an inside guard, who conducts the candidate to this stool, and, seating him thereon, proceeds to blindfold him with one large handkerchief, and to tie his hands behind his back with another. She then announces that one of the smiling semi—circle, taking advantage of his helpless condition, will venture to testify her regard for him by kissing him upon the cheek, and if he is able to guess which one of them it is he has the privilege of returning the salute. Of course so tempting an induce— ment is quite sufficient to cause the candidate to sit as still as a statue, with pulses throbbing expectantly, and ears attent for the approach of the ruby lips toward his cheek. There is much suppressed giggling and then amid a rustling of skirts, whxch however, be— trays nothing, a soft rm kiss i gently but firmly pl'lnted on the candi— date‘s cheek. next moment the bandage is removed from his eyes, and he eagerly !I) wheels around—to find the girls stand— ing precisely as they were belore and domor their best to control their merri— ment. _ Three guesses are allowed him by the guard as to the identity of the one who gave him the kiss. He does his best, but without success, and is told to take his stand at the other end of the room, and see how succeeding candidates fare. Bob Bums is next admltted He is seated, bli and given the same directions as his prede- esso Then to Anderson‘s mingled amazement and chagrin the secret is evealed. Out from behind the row of laughing young ladies appears a Ziffe boy, who under cover of their giggling and rustling creeps up to the unsus— pecting candidate, and gives him the kiss which he fondly imagines comes from feminine lips. And thus candi— date No. 1 finds consolation in the be— fooling of candidate No. 2, and the fun proceeds until all the boys have been initiated. o & ."‘ SCHOOL TEACHER. In the game called the * School Teacher" there is larger field for the exercise of one‘s wits, and if properly played it is very bright and entertain— ing. The players seat themselves in a semi—circle, with the exception of one who is the Teacher. They are num— bered from the top down to the bottom, and each one must be careful to remember his or her number. The Teacher then standing before them so that all may hear distinctly says some— thing like the following : * This morn— ing shortly after school opened, reported to me that No. 5 has pmched her." On this accusation being an— nounced No. 5 should at once jump up and say :‘ Not Z, Sir" (or Ma‘am) as the case may be. ‘©Oh ! yes it was you," retorts the Teacher. Whereupon No. 5 should immediately reply : ‘"‘No, Sir, Not Z, Sir—No. 6," or any other number of a player. Then No. 6 has to reply exactly as No. 5 has done, using the precise words each time, or in default thereof being compelled to change places with the Teacher, who Rese on‘ rigremans THALIA takes the lowest chair while all who were below the one who missed move up one chair, and of course at the same time take a higher number. Only the words stated, viz: " Not Z, Sir" and * No, Sir, Not/, Sir—No. —" can be given in reply to the accu— sation (which by the way should always relate in some way to school doings) the slightest deviation being punish— able by having to exchange with the Teacher. It is of course the ambition of each player to work up to No. 1, and it consequently happens that Nos. 1, 2 and 3 are the most frequently assailed, while the lower numbers are simply spectators, but there is plenty of fun for all if the game is smartly played, and it should always be the object of the Teacher for the time being to make the accusation as mirth—provoking as possible. LAWVER. A still livelier and perhaps some— what more difficult game is called the ©Lawyer," and this is the fashion of it: The players are seated in two rows wis & vis with the exception of the one who enacts the part of Lawyer, and he (or she) walks up and down the middle, eyeing the others critically in order to select a good subject for cross—examin— ation. — Suddenly he fires a question at 119 one of the players, and then the wis & vis of the person thus attacked must at once make some sort of a relevant reply. This response may be as ridi— culous or as serious as the framer of it sees fit, but it should have a per— ceptible connection with the question, and it cannot be merely ‘Yes"or * No." If the player questioned attempts to answer, or the wis & vis hesitates un— duly, the player, or the uis & uis ex— changes places with the Lawyer, who is then released from further cross—exa— mining, which duty has to be assumed by the other. This is a game that calls for presence of mind, and alertness of wits in an especial degree, and only requires that the players should give their whole attention to it to be made highly enjoy— able. Personal questions of an annoy— ing character are of course debarred. By bearing in mind that the answer has to be given by the wis & wis and not the player addressed, the Lawyer may often by a sly question add an extra spice to the merriment. The foregoing games, being free from all objectionable features, may be commended to the attention of hos— tesses who hold scruples against cards and dancing. They will be glad to find in these simple French—Canadian games the means of entertaining their guests in a spirited and pleasing way. THALIA. THE glory of the night was in thine eye, And thou wert fair beyond my wildest dream ; Strayed round thy brow the full moon‘s mystic beam ; An echo found the soft wind in thy sigh. f Did‘st thou not hear my spirit‘s longing cry? Nor see within my heart the love—lights gleam ? Ah, thou did‘st see ! And seeing did‘st but 'deem My heart‘s out—cryings vain, that were so high. Lonely the way and far the shadowed goal— No helping hand to ease me of my woe : Gone is the warmth of love from out my soul ; The blood within my heart is beating slow— For all the road is weariness and dole To such as on life‘s journey loveless go.

And two days later there came four tickets for four succes— sive days to the gallery of the Com— mons and one for a place below the Bar" in the Lords. We are hardly so exclusive at Ottawa ; but at Ottawa the relations of the supply of space and the demand for it are far different. Here is a Commons sitting in a cham— ber into which all of its members could not possibly get at one time, and with only one small gallery for the accom— modation of ‘ the public" of an Em— pire—and, in the tourist season, of a Republic. They run a railing across it midway, so that they may pretend to have two galleries ; but one of the end galleries at Ottawa would hold at least as many people as both together. To get into the gallery you pass five policemen, two officials, and one turn— stile, and, at the turnstile, you sign your name. But you may carry in your umbrella and your overcoat— something you may not do at Paris or Vienna. The Continental Houses are said to be nervous about Anarchists, and so exclude coats, under which a bomb might be concealed. The British Government has apparently no such fear, or, possibly, the Ministers reason that a bomb from the public gallery would probably fall " below the gang— way," among the Radicals or the Irish Nationalists, or their own young Tory " Hooligans." The authorities, at all events, are not to be intimidated by any such contingency. I must hasten to explain that * Hooligan" is not used here as an epithet, but that it is the recognized title of the active group of young Conservatives who sit * below the gangway," and are a great source of discomfort to the Ministry. Mr. Winston Churchill, M.P., is per— haps the " Hooligan" best known in Canada. As the Canadian enters the gallery and sits down, the first thing that strikes him is the smallness of the chamber—then its richness. He is in a large board room rather than a Hall of Parliament ; but a board room that oak panelling and Gothic ornamenta— tion and stained glass have crowded to the last recess with a beauty that is jewel—like in its minute wealth, and never florid. Below, the long, leather upholstered benches march down the chamber, with never a desk in front of 122 4 VISIT TO WESTMINSTER them for papers or blue books ; and just now, when we have entered at the opening of the sitting, they are largely empty, for the Speal\er is running through the prehmmary business. The Speaker wears a wig which a lady has likened to a " fascinator" with both ends loose ; and two clerks sit in front of him with curled wigs. But this is the total of formality, so far as the man in the members‘ gallery can see. For the members have not quite for— gotten the ancient similarity of the House of Commons to a club, and we shall presently see the Right Hon. Arthur Balfour leading the House by sitting on the small ot his back, with his head quite below the top of his bench and his left foot on the edge of the clerks‘ table. Opposite him will recline Sir William Harcourt, in an attitude he might assume in a barber‘s chair and his hands comfortably folded over what is generally reaarded as an aldermanic qualification. The ‘ front benches" of both parties usually take advantage of the ampler floor space at their feet to make as easy as possnble ‘"the seats of the mxorhty Mr. Chamberlain did not stay in the House long enough at a time during my four days to enable me to learn much of his waiting attitude, but he is a brisker and more alert " sitter‘‘ than most of his colleagues, and rivals the Speaker in the hghtmng quickness of his inter— ventions. It is never necessary for him to waste a second in waking up. The quickness of Mr. Speaker Gully is at first a surprise, and always a challenge to your admiration. He is in this respect such a Speaker as the late D‘Alton McCarthy would have made. Smooth—faced, firm—lipped, a little cherubic in effect from the en— wreathment of the wig, he seems to insert his rulings in the very joints of the harness of debate with a swift and unerriog thrust. _A member will arise —even an Irish member, long practised in fence and naturally quick of tongue —to call the Speaker‘s attention to something he has possibly overlooked in a ruling. The Speaker watches him with immobile face, and, the moment qrmmmmmssizes—— enammemennionnititiiimmemnemmmmmmeniatiithittion t23 he has finished, shoots out his reply so qulckl) that your mind appears to get the impact of the question and answer simultaneously. _ And all so cour— teously, in such illuminating an precise English, with so thorough an understanding of the question and so perfect a respect for the questioner, that you feel that "" Mr. Speaker " has very much to do with the smooth work— ing of this not too harmonious House. Naturally, in this Parliament of the «* cloture," the Speaker and the Chair— man of Committees keep the members very rigidly to the question before the House. Our by—and—large talkers in the Canadian Commons would be amazed at the carefulness with which the debate is watched. For example, one day when the Education Bill was up, the Committee was considering a clause which the Opposition contended would limit the power of school boards to do work of the higher sort. One member, in the course of the debate, said that he thought the " board school" curriculum was too heavy already. I deemed this to be right in line with the argument, and was sur— prised to see the Chairman look warningly at the speaker ; he not stop him. speaker went on illustrate his point by relating how, a few days before, he had heard in St. James‘s Park a little girl tell a still smaller brother that Nelson‘s Monument stood in Trafalgar Square because Nelson had fought the battle of Waterloo there. When the little fellow hbad demurred, she had crushed him with, * But my teacher told me !" Now, I again thought that story quite apropos ——and quite old enough to know its proper place—but the Chairman ruled it out of order and admonished the teller. Another case recurs to me. In the debate on the sugar duties, a member was arguing that this particu— lar tax was not rendered inevitable by the war, for there were many other things the Government might better have levied upon for revenue. He asked leave of the Speaker to mention some of them—at Ottawa such leave o. crnts nendinmmemmemerinaith 25 t ic Omennninntitmammsmcnsienmemarenarinmmnnnmmentennnemememnim enc mss 124 would have been taken for granted. The Speaker ruled that the member might mention these other forms of taxatlon but that he could not point out wherein their advantage lay—a pretty close ruling ! My Single Tax friends will be glad to know that the first of these better sources of revenue he mentloned was a tax on land values. * Question time" is, in the British House, often the most sensational of the day. Most of the Ministers are then present and the House is pretty full, and both of these are far rarer sights than at Ottawa. — The Ministers do not " do duty " in the Chamber as ours do, neither do the Opposmon leaders. ut the question paper is a Ministerial roll—call, and each man is there to face the music—generally an Irish air. On an order paper I have before me as I write, there are sixty— nine questions, of which thirty—two were put from the Irish benches. If I were not afraid of straying into politics in a mere traveller‘s tale, I would be tempted to say that it seemed to me i four days that the real Opposition in the Commons is body sitting ‘ below the gangway" and led by one John Redmond, who gets certain sporadic assistance from groups of Welsh and Radical members who assem— ble from time to time above the gangway. There is no such constant leadership anywhere as prevmls in the Canadian Houses, and there is very much more freedom of criticism of the front benches" by the rear benches than we would think compatible with party cohesion. Two of the most important debates that I heard were on the Government‘s Education Bill and a proposal of Mr. Dillon to strike the sugar duty from the Budget scheme. In the former, most of the Government supporters who. spoke criticised the policy of the measure, and gave the Ministers much advice about a promised future bill ; and in the latter, the Liberal speeches seemed to be ldrge]y made up of vigorously expressed regrets that Sir William Harcourt had given their case away " THE CANADIAN MAGAZINE by stating that he felt compelled to vote for the duty. There are a lot of men, such as our Weldon of Albert used to be, in the British Commons. Naturally, I found myself looking for the old Parliamentarians of whom I had so long read. The first speech I heard was by " Tim" Healy, and I never would have known him if the Speaker had not called him by name. He is a much larger and heavier man than I would have fancied from his photos, and he speaks with a calm reserve approaching that of Mr. Gold— win Smith, though his voice is the voice of Nicholas Flood Davin. To him replied Mr. Austen Chamberlain, leaning at ease on a box on the clerk‘s table, and smiling on the Irish phalanx through the hereditary monocle. And very thoroughly he appeared to under— stand his case. This younger Cham— berlain had a good deal to do during my four days, and he seemed to be always informed, and he certainly stayed in the I than any other Minister. clearly and suavely, but without en— thusiasm, and has many of the man— nerisms of a civil case lawyer Then came John Dillon, with his motion against the sugar duty. _ If all Canadians were known to each other, I could make myself very much better understood by saying that Mr. Dillon is very like Mr. E. G. O‘Connor, of Montreal ; and that Mr. T. W. Russell, the "new Unionist" from Ireland, is own brother to Professor John Macoun, of Ottawa. As for Mr. Dillon, he is explanatory in style; tall, greyed, determined in appearance. _ It is hard to believe that he could make people think they had a grievance when they hadn‘t, which is the common explana— tion of Irish agitation ; but he looks like a grim, tireless fighter—such a soldier as I should like to have enlisted in the service of any cause I held dearly at heart. _ Mr. T. W. Russell represents a new idea in British poli— tics. He is a staunch Unionist, and opposes Irish "Home Rule," but he well—nigh outruns the Home Rulers in publishing Irish grievances and de— 4 VISIT TO WESTMINSTER manding their redress——by the British Parliament. That is, he bas more confidence in the wisdom of British justice, provided it can be prodded up, than he has in that of a Government led by Mr. John Redmond. He is an energetic debater, sitting below the gangway on the Conservative side, in a seat exactly corresponding to that of Mr. John Redmond across the House ; and the rumour is in the air here that the Ministry think of adopting—to some degree—his kind of Unionism. The two heavy guns who were heard in this sugar debate were Sir Michael Hicks—Beach and Sir William Har— court, the financiers of the two parties, and they declared their intention of going into the same lobby. Sir Wil— liam was not in fighting form—he was, in fact, almost tearful. This was a bad tax for a bad expenditure on a bad war, but he felt constrained to vote for it as the country had voted for the war. Sir Michael, whom I heard very often, spending one night with him and the Welsh members on the coal duties, was impatiently explanatory and exceedingly dogmatic. A question from the Ministerial benches seemed to make him snappish. — Just as the back benchers are free in their criticisms of their leaders, so the leaders take little pains to deal smoothly with the men behind them. — One feels that this Par— liament is composed of serious men doing serious business, the execution of which is delegated to the Ministers, who see no reason for feeling grateful for the choice. Mr. Balfour and Sir Henry Campbeli— Bannerman were not much in the House, though they exchanged civili— ties once or twice—a sort of competi— tion in smiling politeness. Mr. John Redmond, the other party leader, I heard make a set speech on the Irish Board of Education—from which Arch— bishop Walsh has just resigned—a plain, clear statement, not without touches of eloquence. So far as appearances show, Mr. Redmond has the enthusiastic confidence of his party and the respect of the House—both significant facts when it is remembered that he is the new Parnell. Another 125 man who got the ear of the House was John Burns, the labour member, who spoke without any of the circumlocu— tions of formality, but with force and sense, his manner suggesting at times the debates in the Toronto Trades and Labour Council. But the temptation to chatter on about individual members must be resisted if space is to be got for this sketch. Mr. Blake, I know, was about the House, for I caught several glimpses of him ; but seeing him come in one day with the black " bag " of the law suggested how he might be spending his time in the neighbour— hood of the Chamber. When sitting in the House, he had the same expression of pained aloofness he habitually wore when leading the Opposition at Ottawa. I should very much like to know how, in his most secluded judg— ment, he compares the two Houses. There is no leader here who pretends to do a fraction of the work he did— no man who rivals his tremendous speeches. I even doubt whether the general standard of speaking is much higher here than with us. The British member has the great virtue of brevity, which exorcises the Parliamentary sin of tediousness ; but much of the back bench speaking is certainly no better than the same thing at Ottawa. Then I would back Sir Richard Cartwright and Hon. George E. Foster against Sir William Harcourt and Sir Michael Hicks—Beach so far, at least, as de— bating talent goes, and I fancy the Canadians would have something to spare to put over against the probably : wider experience of the great English authorities. But this is, perhaps, a sort of comparison which no Canadian is qualified to make with fairness. Leaving the gallery, one repasses the five policemen and the two officials, emerges into the central hall from behind a statue of Mr. Gladstone, and then walks down the old hall of St. Stephen, where Parliament once sat. On either side are white marble statues of great statesmen—Hampden, Wal— pole, the Pitts, Fox, Grattan, Burke— and then one sees to the right the ancient Hall of Westminster, begun 126 THE CANADIAN MAGAZINE by William Rufus, where Charles I was condemned and Warren Hastings tried. A policeman waves you on, and you pass out by what might well be a—drawbridge, beside which the statue of Cromwell keeps watch ; and as you look in his determined, unswerving eye, and think of the free Parliament within, you realize that England has travelled a long way since he trod these halls. And what hand, so much as his, made clear the path ? THE ACQUISITIVE MAN. By Xerxes. J CANADIAN newspaper has of late & been publishing portraits and in— viting its readers to send in queries as to the characters of the men thus portrayed. In a general way the re— sults may be said to be destructive of faith in physiognomy. In the case of a certain portrait nearly every corre— spondent expressed the belief that it was that of a man eminent in good works, a philanthropist, a missionary, a clergyman. Instead it was that of a noted Western outlaw, murderer and stage robber—a man valiant in every vice and with a record all black. Yet his portrait beamed as mildly from the printed page as that of a Peabody, a Livingstone or a Wesley. _ It may be that human countenances reveal much of character to those trained in reading such documents, but more profess knowledge in this matter than possess it. As a rule, it is after, and not be— fore a man reveals his character in some conspicuous act that those famil— iar with him find in his face indubitable proof of his tendencies. Czolgosz had no sooner shot McKinley than experts showed conclusively by means of facial and cranial diagrams that he was a man shaped by nature to perpetrate just such a sensational crime—a use— less, a too—late service this on the part of the physiognomists; very like many another service done mankind by ex— cessively wise but unpractical persons. If it is hard to judge of a man‘s char— acter by. peering into his face, it is equally hard to estimate his capacity for success in life. Among the most successful ‘ business men in Canada are some whose talents are despised by those who meet and measure them. Prosperous businesses have been founded in the city by men who, in the towns and villages whence they came were rated lightly and thought to give no promise of success in any direction. Yet here they are enjoying power and place while many of whom much was expected have accomplished little or nothing. Certain Canadians have won the V. C. and other coveted decorations in the South African war, but if, when the troops were departing, it had been foretold that a given number of these honours would be won, who would have chosen those who actually re— ceived them as among the probable winners? So far as physiognomy and that knowledge of human nature of which so many people talk are con— cerned, there were many others much more likely to perform daring deeds and win high rewards than those who, in the actual hazard of war, won them. And this not in disparagement of the men who won honours—in their praise rather, but in frank contempt of that widely prevailing, but erroneous idea, that the character and power of men can be discerned by scrutiny of their fea— tures. _ The hero projects himself unex— pectedly on public notice; when a crisis occurs often the unlikeliest man rises to grapple with it. _ If a man will care— fully enquire into his own preferences he will find that the male countenance which he approves as denoting char— acter, is of the same type as his own. is an unconscious egotism that THE ACQUISITIVE MAN guides him in his judgment of other men by their looks. Every day men who are trusted betray those who re— ly upon them ; and every day men of forbidding aspect prove themselves possessed of sterling qualities. Nicholas Flood Davin has closed his career by his own hand, his life a self— confessed failure. Yet he was a man of whom much had been predicted—a man of wide learning, of brilliant parts, and possessing all the qualities that make for popularity. _ By taking vio— lent leave of this world he reproaches it with having ill—used him, and I doubt not that it did. — He offered the country talents greater than those which, prof— fered by other men, were accepted. Why is it that the late Mr. Davin was not called to the Cabinet when his party was in power ? _ He was the friend of Sir John Macdonald. He saw men, dull of mind, scant of learning, pass him and enter the Ministry. _ It is said that he was unstable. — But was this a canse ona consequence : fa: Left in a j 127 he could not trust away from his daily influence. _ Davin belonged to neither of these classes. Sir Wilfrid Laurier chose his Cabinet largely from the ranks of the Provincial Premiers presumably in order to free his Government as much as possible from responsibility for the principles laid down in the exigencies of politics during eighteen years of not always skilful ﬁahtmo in Opposition. _ By reaching tar and wide he secured a good Cabinet, but signs indicate that vacancies, as they occur, will be filled about as they were in Sir John Mac— donald‘s time—by men who are docile or who will smash the door in if it be not opened unto them. The chief defect in the character of Davin was his lack of acquisitiveness. Had he possessed this in a reasonable degree, it would have served the pur— pose of ballast, and would have given him stability of purpose. Acquisitive— ness ! Not only the faculty of making and keepmg mone)—that is but one It ex— position of i in the making of speeches more amus— ing than useful too warm—blooded to withdraw from the centre of events, what could happen but that he should erect the reputation of being a man lacking in stability and ballast? A man colder than he but otherwise of the same equipment might not have earned this rating. Is not this the fact, that Nicholas Flood Davin was so gen— erous a heart that his party leaders could have full use of his talents with— out haggling—without giving him a portfoho without being pressed by him into a corner in moments of difficulty ? Men not his equal in natural talent nor in training, and certainly not in generosity of character made cold bar— gains to their own advantage. — Safe men, these, not likely to get their party into trouble nor out of it, not likely to affect it in any way, but cer— tain to be the docile supporters of the man or two who did the thinking for the Government of the day. Sir John Mac— donald filled his Cabinet with men of two kinds : those who preferred his opinion to their own, and those whom pres\es xtself in m.my ways and does more than genius to make men suc— cessful in life—in business, in politics, in the professions. The man who lacks this faculty loses what his other powers gain for him. He sows in many fields yet reaps in none. The acquisi— tive man retires each night with some— thing his that was not his when last he sought his couch—money, land, pro— perty in some form, a desirable ac— quaintance, a new business connection, a book, a knife, an idea, a cheer from an audience, a smile, a compliment with meaning in it, something, any— thing. No day is empty. Heacquires not only material things, but aids to material things which others do not know the value of, and so he builds, brick on brick, the edifice of his fortune. This is as true in the field of politics makin life is the acquisitive man, not the so— called genius whose brllhance is in spots, whose ability spends itself in gusts, whose course describes pendu— lum—swings. ~% Walter Savage Landor, 1775—1864 * By G. MERCER ADAM THE statement will hardly be chal— lenged that the general reader knows almost nothing of the career and work of Walter Savage Landor. Even the student of literature, unless he is specially well read and himself a class— icist, is apt to know little of the author of " Count Julian," " Gebir," and the " Imaginary Conversations of Literary Men and Statesmen" and his rare de— votion to the Roman Muse. _ Never— theless, he was in many respects a re— markable figure in the literary life and activities of his age, an unrivalled prose writer, and a poet of the motherland of many and great gifts, of whom so high an authority as Swinburne affirms that "he has won for himself such a double crown of glory in verse and in prose as has been won by no other Englishman but Milton." The eulogy may seem extravagant ; but it comes from one who can well appreciate the rare craftsmanship of a fellow poet and man of letters, for Landor, whatever he lacked in imagination, had an in— comparable literary style and did much fine creative work, however wanting it was in contmmty, in unifying power, and in the qualities that inflame, in— spire and abide in the human heart. With all his defects, which, however, are mainly those of character and tem— perament, Landor is nevertheless wor— thy of high honour, and his genius should win for him a more e\alted place in the annals of letters. _ What a new century may do for him and his reputation it would be idle to speculate on. _ Hitherto he has sung but to the few and fit," and with all his ac— complishments he has, in great meas— ure, failed to win the ear of the world, or to be known save, for the most part, through anthologies and treasuries of choice prose. And yet Landor, we re— call, was, in his own day, not unaware that his writings were a sealed book to the multitude, and that he sang but to a small though select circle. This, however, did not distress him, as it might have distressed a vain, or a poor man, dependent for his bread upon popular applause; for he remained cheerful through all discouragements, and to the close of his long and labori— ous life was proudly content and con— fidently satisfied with himself and his achievements, as the following quatrain of his felicitously shows :— "I strove \\:Lh none, for none was worth my strife Vature l loved, and, next to Nature, Art; I \\ulrmul both hands befox e the fire ot hfe, sinks, and I am ready to depart.‘ To understand Landor‘s work, one must know something of the poet‘s history and mental characteristics. Though, like most Greek and Roman writers, after whom he patterned him— self, little of Landor‘s personality is to be gleaned from his writings—he was nevertheless an Englishman of a ro— bust, independent, and even. radical type. Born in 1775 of good sound parentage, he inherited a sturdy phys— ical frame, with a fondness for outdoor life which contributed to health and mental vigour, and kept him vigorous till his death in 1864. Dowered with wealth, he received, also, an excellent college education, which his incorrigible schoolboy moods and untutored habits somewhat short— * From Introduction, by Mr. G, Mercer Adam, to a Selection from the Writings of Walter Savage Landor, issued in the " Universal Classics Library," © New York, 1g01 published by M. Walter Dunne, 128 WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR, 1775—1864 ened, though not before he could write English prose with remarkable force and fluency, and give vent to his im— patience with college Dons in strong, scurrilous, and sometimes in defama— tory, Latin verse. _ When he left Ox— ford, he had the reputation of being an extraordinarily good classic, besides acquiring fame by his Oriental effusion, * Gebir," and by the publication of a miscellaneous collection of verse. His father dying early he came into the possession of large estates, which he erratically mismanaged, and soon after selling them set out, in 1808, for Spain, then invaded by Bonaparte. There he raised and equipped at his own expense a body of troops, designing to take the field with them against the arch— enemy of his country; but being piqued at some slight offence he threw aside his patriotic enthusiasm and speedily returned to England. _ Of two follies he was guilty soon after his return to his native shores, one of these was the sinking of a large sum of money in an ambitious estate in Wales ; the other was his hasty and ill—assorted marriage with a maiden in her teens, sixteen years younger than himself. _ Mean— while his pen had been hard at work, and its product at this time was the fruit of his chivalrous expedition to Spain — the lofty tragedy entitled «* Count Julian." This dramatic poem deals with sombre incidents in early Spanish history. _ It did little, how— ever, to enhance Landor‘s fame, even when its authorship was avowed, though like all the author‘s work it has many magnificent passages, but which were entirely unsuited for the stage. «Count Julian " was followed by a collection of Latin poems, and by the initial series of the delightful " Imagi— nary Conversations," which, with his prose poem, "* Pericles and Aspasia" —constitute his chief claim to immor— tality. The epistolary form of * Peri— cles and Aspasia," though dealing with an attractive Greek theme, is apt to repel the ordinary reader; but in spite of the dialogue method and its occas— ional heavy disquisitions, its artistic beauty and its felicitous setting, of 129 glorious English prose, ought to win for it many and ever— recurring readers. The vast range and variety of subjects treated of in the "Imaginary Conver— sations " must make this extensive in— stalment of Landor‘s creative work of high value, at least to the historical and literary student. Here he pours out, in copious streams, the riches of his intellectual stores, with the added gifts of fine reflective thought, rare powers of character—drawing, and an abundance of discursive talk. The affluence of thought and ideas through— out these volumes of conversations and monologues cannot fail to strike the most careless reader. The series is a treasure—house of apotheg and axioms, and though the author‘s ideas are often disconnected and the plan of his work lacking in any definite scheme or purpose, its interest is great, and one meets repeatedly with passages of striking, felicitous, and often noble beauty. Besides the culture manifest in these writings and the evidences, on almost every page, of a marvellously wide and choice range of reading, one is struck also by their author‘s pheno— menal power of character—sketching and the dramatic interest of much of the matter ; while the volumes are here and there lit up by some piece of pun— gent satire and by frequent overflows of wit and humour. While these * Imaginary Conversa— tions‘" were being penned, Landor, it should be said, was a resident of Italy, for there the poet delighted to find his home, the landed gentleman of Wales being a role which, were he less erratic than he was, he could not content him— self with filling. At Florence, there— fore, he pitched his tent, and there he chiefly abode, industriously writing to a green old age, with occasional inter— ruptions and distractions incident to his stormy domestic life. Here were written, besides more of his poems, and their finely—finished Latin versions, with some translations from the Arabic and Persian, "The Citation and Ex— amination of William Shakespeare ; " "©The Pentameron ;" " Pericles and Aspasia ;" two series of Hellenics," se > _ ommem 130 THE CANADIAN MAGAZLINE a collection of * Heroic Idy!s," and in his later years " The Last Fruit of an Old Tree," * Dry Sticks Fagoted by W. S. Landor," and further volumes of the * Imaginary Conversations." This immense and varied body of litera— ture, the toil of a high, heroic, and at times seraphic soul, alas, met with no wider audience than that of a small circle of learned scholars, /t/érateurs, and immediate friends. Nor did his artistic verse attract—not even the gem—like quatrains and idyls, with all their finished beauty ; for Landor, as it has been said, like the maiden in the fairy tale, could not speak without now and then dropping pearls and dia— monds. But authorcraft is full of sim— ilar instances of depreciation and neg— lect ; and Landor, as we have already remarked, was little affected by the lack of popular applause. In this respect he fared no worse than did Coleridge, De Quincey, and others of his scholarly and industrious contem— poraries. One chief reason of this is that Landor, by his training and tastes, did not address a popular audience ; and like the classical writers, as we have hinted, failed to put his personal— ity into his work. With all his ex— quisite gifts as a writer, he rarely touches the heart, his appeals being chiefly to the artistic, rather than to the poetlc, sense. e is, moreover, lacking in passion, and is too highly and serenely intellectual to be eloquent and appealingly, burningly, intense. Only to the few choice minds, who can appreciate his wondrous intellect, the power and majesty of his sonorous prose, and the grace and melody of his idyllic verse, does he effectively appeal ; though he wrote for far more than such, including the patriot and man of action, as well as the idealist and the idle, desultory reader.

He would not be a King because he would be responsible to his Overlord the King of Great Britain and Ireland, and his office would not descend to his son as of right.

If Canada is to have a ruler, let it be a Royal ruler—a Prince of the blood. THE CITY HALL These suggestions are bred of the recent Royal visit, and the success which came to it as of right and neces— sity. Canada met the Duke with all the enthusiasm of a loyal people, with all the respect of a monarchical nation. The Duke met the people as a royal prince should meet them—appreciative, interested, anxious, gracious, and yet with the bearing of the son of a King, the dignity of an heir to the world‘s greatest throne. When the Duke left Halifax he ad— dressed a letter to the people of Canada in which he thanked them for their warm—heartedness and cordiality. He expressed his gratitude for "" the gener— ous feeling which has prompted all classes to contribute towards that hearty and aﬂ“ectnonate welcome which we have met with." _ He recognized all this * as a proof of the strong personal loyalty to the throne, as well as a de— claration of the deep—seated devotion on the part of the people of Canada to that unity of the Empire of which the Crown is the symbol." What a strengthening of these bonds there 134 PHOTO BY STEELE & CO., WINNIPEG WINNIPEG would be, if there were a Prince of the Royal blood permanently resident here ! The Duke was impressed with Canada. — His address goes on to say : *‘ Short as, unfortunately, our stay in Canada had to be, it was sufficient for us to understand something of its boundless possibilities, and the scope which it affords to those who, with a spirit of enterprise, determination and willingness to work, desire to seek a wider, less crowded and richer field than that offered by the congested industries and professions of the Mother Country. I trust that these possibili— ties may be taken advantage of in the future, and that suitable emigrants from the Mother Country may come in large numbers." And may not one reasonably assert that the Duke of York could do much to attract atten— tion to Canada if he were permanently domiciled here? As the individual must assert himself, so must the na— tion. —It is hard for a nation to assert its greatness, its individuality, unless it has some person of noble origin and —OPENING OF NEW UNIVERSITY BUILDING superior qualifications to represent it among the nations of the world.

One would think from reading these paragraphs that the Duke himself felt that Canada should have a Royal Prince as her official head—a man whose whole life and career would be bound up with the progress of the Land of the Maple, whose every thought, every ambition, every desire should be for the country over which ne was the temporal chief. AGovernor— General on a small salary, staying here but for a term, responsible to nothing and nobody in Canada, dependent not a whit on Canadian popularity or in— fluence, cannot be anything but a fifth wheel on a four—wheeled vehicle. Instead of being an influence for unity, he must be a continual source of discord. _ Canada has had_ good Governors—General, but her success has been in spite of them rather than due to them. IBL In order to supplement the record in last month‘s MAGAZINE, it is neces— sary to review briefly the closmo' events of the Royal Tour. At eig o‘clock on the evening of October 2nd the Duke and Duchess set their faces eastward from Victoria, returmntr to Vancouver on the Empress of India. At the latter city the Party remained only two hours to receive an address from the Port Simpson, Squamish and Mission Indians, the former travelling 800 miles to present their greatest heirloom, ‘the hat of the chiefs," a relic so old that its origin is unknown. On the 4th, the Party reached Banff, where the Duchess remained to enjoy the mountain air and scenery, while her husband went on to Manitoba to try the duck—shooting. On the 6th, the Duke reached the shooting lodge at Lake Manitoba, wherea couple of days were pleasantly spent. On the even— ing of the 8th, the Party was again speeding eastward. _ With a few short stops, the trip was continuous to Toronto, where they arrived on Thurs— day, October 10th. Amid a drizzling rain, the Royal Party was welcomed at a specially—erected station, was 136 4FTERMATH OF THE ROYAL VISIT 1 escorted through streets lined with soldiers and peo— ple, and welcomed at the City Hall by the Mayorand Cor— poration, a chorus of 1, 200 voices, and a great concourse of people.

It was a magnificent scene, worthy of the occa— sion and worthy of the banner prov— ince of the Dominion. On the evening of that day there was an official dinner, and an official reception at which over two thousand people were presented. Unfortunately, this was not on invitation," and the best people of Toronto were not all there. A disgraceful crush marred what should have been an impressive event. The next two or three days were spent by the Royal Party in visiting Hamilton, Niagara Falls, London, and other Western Ontario points. On Tuesday, October 15th, they visited Belleville, Kingston, Brock— ville and Cornwall, the trip from King— ston to Brockville being made by steamer among the beautiful Thousand Islands. At noon the next day, the Party reached the Victoria Bridge, Montreal, inspected the golden rivet driven by King Edward forty years ago, received an address from Mr. Reeve, the General Manager of the Grand Trunk, and then proceeded to Sherbrooke. On the 15th, the Party passed through Moncton, the headquarters of the Intercolonial Railway, arriving at St. John in the afternoon. As at THE DUCHESS AND PARTY vISIT A THRESHING ON THE PRAIRIE 138 Toronto, there was a review of troops and presentation of colours and medals.

On Monday, at 9.30, the Ophir passed out of the magnificent harbour, escorted by the powerful squadron of warships, and saluted by the guns from the Citadel and forts. The five weeks‘ Royal visit to Canada had terminated. L Many anecdotes and incidents in connection with the Duke‘s Canadian tour have appeared in print, and some are worth preserving. At Ottawa, the Duke received and warmly greeted a Mr. Martin Battle, who is said to be the only survivor of the party which accompanied the Prince of Wales through Canada in 1860. At various points the Duke and 139 Duchess were met by people who had served the Duke‘s or the Duchess‘ family in early days, and had known them as children. These old retainers were always given ample opportunity to exchange greetings with the Royal couple, and the pleasure seemed to be mutual, A Winnipeg newspaper is authority for the account of an amusing incident at Poplar Point, where the Duke went fishing. _ When the Duke returned to the railway station from the lake he was met by the Duchess, who embrac— ed her royal spouse affectionately. The greeting was scarcely over when a buxom woman, who was among the country folk assembled to see the Party depart, bounced up to the Duke, caught him in her arms, and planked a smack— ing kiss on his cheek. The Duchess laughed heartily and the Duke like— wise seemed to enjoy the experience after he had recovered from his amazement. — The good lady explained that she just wished to have the dis— tinction of having kissed the future King of England. 140 THE CANADIAN MAGAZINE PHOTO BY GALBRAITH, TORONTO TORONTO—THE MANUFACTURERS! ARCH—LEGISLATIVE BUILDING IN DISTANCE There were two shooting parties. Lord Wenlock led one in a district about two miles from where the Duke was shooting. The noble Lord secured 203 ducks that day and was no doubt surprised at their plentifulness. The secret leaked out afterwards. _ Mr. Warren, the host of the occasion, had worked up a fine attendance of birds <by a judicious distribution, during the previous days, of some fifty bushels of ap— petizing wheat. The ducks were fooled into thinking they had found a new E Dorado. Of course, the Duke‘s staff occasionally ran foul racy. A story is told of one of them who, at Banff, desired to have his horse ridden back from the sta— tion to the hotel so that he might walk with a friend. He chirped to a N. W.M. Policeman "Here, take my horse, will you?" Now everybody knows that a N. W. M. Policeman is the equal of any Life—Guards— man that ever donned the steel breastplate and white buckskins. Therefore the Policeman looked gently at my lord for a minute and said : "All right, hitch him up to that telegraph pole. _I‘ll take him up for you when I‘m through with my business." When the Duke was presented with a lacrosse stick and ball at the conclu— sion of the Ottawa match he said to Captain Dunn: _ But is this the ball that the game was played with ?" ‘No,"— replied TORONTO—LIEUT.

Duncan Campbell Scott 143 Wolves on the Range TO range means, in one sense, to rove at large. ‘" Range" is a noun not found in dictionaries, but used generally throughout the North— West to designate that part of the grazing country over which cattle and other live stock wander at will. It is here that the wolf—the outcast —is brought into closest contact with «man‘s interests. — The mere mention of this animal is likely to suggest to him who has no real knowledge of them, visions of a deep forest road, gather— ing dusk, whirling snow and plunging horses, with the fur—clad driver of the vehicle shouting and slashing with his whip. The sleigh bells ring madly; the muffled occupants, loading their firearms as quickly as possible, dis— charge them into the black mass of savage, leaping forms, whose eyes gleam with a deadly light, and whose fangs clash at each unsuccessful leap toward their prey. And this idea is not to be wondered at when we remember the tales of narrow escapes from just such a peril with which the magazines and papers of years ago were filled. These, however, are not the wolves which play havoe upon the range. The European wolf has a smaller head, longer legs and less hair than his cousin of the Northwestern plains ; also his colour is not the same. Canadian wolves are, broadly speak— ing, of three classes. First, the big gray timber wolf of the mountains, seen but seldom in the open ; next the gray wolf of the foothills and prairies ; and lastly, the little wolf, or coyote. The first we may dismiss as playing no very large part on the plains—or range country. The second will chiefly occupy us, after a few words about Mr. Coyote, who, being a mean little cuss, by John Innes confining himself to rabbits, hens, dying animals, weaklings, and offal, is really not worth much space.

Now for the big gray wolf, the enemy of the stockmen. _ In colour he is a grizzled grey along the back, head, and upper parts of his body ;. below he is a yellowish gray of a much lighter tone than above. From snout to rump he will average about four feet, and he carries a bushy tail of fully twenty inches. His hair is long, and he is altogether a stocky animal when compared with Mr. Coyote. The Indians. are so impressed with his endurance, speed, and capacity for existing for a long period on air, that they gladly cross him with their sledge dogs, and thus obtain a useful if savage assist— ant to pull their loads during the long winters of that far northern land.

Imagine to yourself a herd of cattle quietly grazing upon the rolling grass lands. The calves, young and full o6 the splrlt of curiosity about everything in this new and pleas— ant world that they have so lately entered, butt and play amid the flowers and brush. Suddenly their attention is attracted by some strange animals, so full of good—natured fun as to be irresistible to their youthful bovine minds. These new creatures roll and play like kittens, tumbling each other over and over and racing in circles nearer and nearer. They stop for a moment and squat all arow, looking with tongues lolling out from their grinning masks at the mottled group ot llttle calves, standing with ears thrust forward and \vondering eyes turned towards them. For a few moments they remain qunet, and then the play commences again. ver and over they roll, this time slowly leaving the cattle. One calf, more venture— some than his brethren, allows his curiosity to get the better of him and follows. Stlll the fascinating game, so full of innocent glee and undesxcrn- ing goodwill, proceeds; the little spotted fool, fascinated and happy, following, following. _ One bawl from his mother and all would be well, but she is contentedly munching a new find of succulent grass upon the further side of a knoll. Faster roll the play— ful thmgs round and round, tumbling turning, grinning. Faster yet, and always away from the herd. Of a sudden the poor little calf detects something wrong. The play is slacken— ing, and one of the group of pretty animals is looking at him in a way that makes him fe'lr the grin upon all the group changes into a horrible snarl; with a cry of agony he turns to run back to his mother, but it is too late ; snapping, snarling, the traitor— ous band of erstwhile playmates are Later the cowboys, spying the big red XX cow without her calf, take a circle around and find what is left of him. t is almost useless to endeavour to trap these creatures. Their sense of smell is so keen and their intuitive knowledge of strategy so fine that the cleverest well—thought—out — prepar tions usually end in failure. With them, as with most wild things, the scent of men and iron seems to defy all efforts at disguise, and many a disappoint— ment awaits the expectant hunter. He may bury his traps ever so carefully, may sprinkle the blood or drag the carcase, or encase his feet in horn or hide with consummate skill; yet a visit to his well laid ambushes usually ends in disappointment. _ The tracks of his quarry may be found circling about and around the death—dealing instru— ments which he has invented, in great numbers, but seldom does he find Mr. Wolf captured. Horses of all animals are the best equipped by nature to "rustle" for food during the keen winters of the Great Northwest. Where cattle would undoubtedly starve they find food in plenty, and usually emerge fat and healthy in the spring time. he cause is not far to seek. Cattle seldom paw through the snow for food; they nose about ; and if the white covering upon the grass is bound with a hard crust or is deep enough to cover their eyes whilst endeavoring to eat, they at once abandon all attempts at foraging, and wander in search of better feeding grounds. Horses on the contrary, paw, break the crust, and live where their _ split—hoof _ companions would starve. Therefore, during hard weather, the cattle gather about the huge hay corrals upon the plains, and the horses remain in the open. _ It is thus that the foals are in danger from the wolves. Mares and foals scatter in search of food during the day, generally banding together for mutual protection and TWO warmth at night. Many a time the famished outlaws sit in a ring about these herds, longing for a chance to get at the young colts standing in the middle of the bunch, whilst the mares and geldings with heads to— wards the centre and heels turned to all the world, kick violently at their Others keep them at safe Even alone the mares will fight like wild cats to protect their young. It is a decidedly pretty sight to see the wild wolf hunting wild prey—say deer or antelope. Many a time have I watched the chase through field glasses. The deer come down through a deep coulee, or old buffalo to drink at the river. have they left the water when the wolves appear on either side. The frightened quarry dashes back up the LOVES 147 path by which he descended to the river, the wolves following closely. , up, he goes, leaping magnifi— cently, running for his life. He nears the crest and sees the open prairie ahead, when lo! more of his enemies appear on either side and also in front. Generally he is doomed. Sometimes by almost unbelievable effort he breaks through the enclosing hunters and stretches away over the open plains with the whole pack in full ery. The plan is so well thought out, so almost human in its intelligence that one cannot but admire it. The ranchers have many a good run after these enemies of their stock, wolf hounds forming the pack.

From that moment the spirit of Art 148 4 MASTERPIECE OF GOD seized and wrought upon him. He had tarried and his pentecost had fully come. For months he was in the world but not of it. His subject drew and elevated him to a height of perfec— tion before undreamed. The veil of the holy of holies of his new religion was rent; he was caught up where he heard unspeakable things—unlawful for man to utter. Oh, the joy of it all! He was winning. What he had lost in the casting—out was as dross compared with this his gain. He was getting it all—the gradating, the composition, the lighting, the bal— ance, the vivacity, and, most of all, the low—toned and warm blue greys of the eye. And now it was done! The long ascent towards fame had been topped. Through his pentecost, he had emerg— ed with the gift of tongues. He had seen, heard, understood. His name low in the left of that masterpiece was safe ; and it would be trumpeted for— ward through the years as long as there was Art. He felt he was aveng— ed upon God and His world. It was the first evening after the fin— ishing of his work, and at the grand reception. His first glimpse of Rose Le Clare sent an unsettling pang through his being. His colours were now dry ; to change was impossible. Better he had looked upon her grave than that he should now see excellen— cies—or even inexcellencies—he had not seen before. If his lighting were not to advantage, not the best; if he were wrong in his drawings ; if —— She was standing in the middle dis— tance lit strongly from above.

Fear he had erred turned his eyes away, and the next instant hope he had not turned them back again. Would that he had not been able to he was wrong in the slope of the shoulder. He had missed the subtle melting of the cream of the neck into the crimson of the cheek. And the peep of breast that appeared showed his drawing was 4 149 wrong—his lighting disadvantageous and arbitrary. Something caught at his breath and again pushed his eyes away ; but a moment after they had re—found the range. In the interval the breast had gone higher and the light was fuller. As he looked it fell from full to a tone less than half. Now it was almost as he had it ; now he was wildly wrong. His eye caught the cheek. It was higher, and since he had looked before there was a tender subtle suffusion of half—light upon the neck. He was dazed, confused, puzzled. Something new must be invented in Art, or the best must be missed. Surely it was beauty. Itmust be—this ebb and flow of pure breast, this melting out and in of tone on cheek and neck. It was all above, beyond what he or Art had ever dared. With a crushed, defeated feeling he slipped from He went out into the night, and a lit— tle later he was facing his great un— hung masterpiece. For some time he looked steadily at it. It did not move ; it had no life. There was no flash of eye, no heave of breast, no pulsing blood that gladden— ed the cheek as streams a desert. There were eyes but they saw not, ears but they heard not, lips but they spake not. —It was a dumb thing—the work of a man‘s hand. But it was ART. He continued to look for a time—a great long time—lost in the multitude of thoughts that trooped upon him. Was his work as great as he had hoped? Were there no rivals? Was Art enough? The great studio was very quiet ; no one came there. The very fulness of his life at the club had but accentuated its emptiness. At his quarters a maid brought him his food. He looked back to the time he had taken his strong, heroic resolve. He had steadily and stoutly maintained the great conflict. He was sure he had been winning—up to a few hours ago. Then suddenly, unexpectedly, had come his great disillusioning. There was another Artist—a greater. And that Artist‘s masterpiece put the one on the wall to shame ; the composition | | cnpammensctii 150 THE CANADIAN MAGAZLINE was finer, the pencil fuller, the distri— buting rarer. There was an ease 0 execution and finish, an absence of feebleness or arbitrariness, a delicacy in lighting, a tenderness and sobriety of tone in the creation he had seen that night, which made the work be— fore him ugly and common. Could it be that there were still things he had not learned in the field of Art? For years he had kept the cold kiss of dead lips fresh upon him. He had left the world of breathing things for another world. But as he looked back he was not sure he had been content. If, through the years, the Angel had him by the hand, the serpent had him by the heart—and he was unsatisfied. They were empty years; he felt he had not fulfilled himself. He looked again to the masterpiece on the wall. _ It could not love ; it did not need love. It could not minister, nor be ministered unto. It could not laugh, nor suffer—nor sin. He must be denied even the bitter—sweet pleas— ure of standing some far—off day at its grave. It had no life, no breath, no warmth, no needs. _ It was a worthless It was several days after, and even— ing. A leaping hearthfire threw the shadows of two figures on the oppo— site wall. The man had spoken and was waiting for an answer. The wo— man‘s profile was towards him strong— ly lit from the hearth in front. The drawing had been done with a full sure pencil ; the lines that held in the face were exactly where a master would have them. The cheeks and low—toned warm blue—greys of the eyes went high or low according as the fire leaped Something underneath the breast sent it regularly from light to half—light, then back again. The woman drew her eyes slowly from the fire and fixed them upon him. © Yes," she said, simply. He looked for a time but did not speak. — The composition, the balance, the gradating, the tone, quality and movement, the suffusing and distri— buting were all exquisite. _ This time, however, it was not the artist but the man who saw. The next instant the irregular band of light between the silhouettes on the wall suddenly disap— peared. — Her full lips were warm and flower—soft thing ; it did not suffice.

On the contrary, and fre— quently it was very contrary, the victor was a petite, red—headed person of the sister sex, who merely looked the new— comer over, decided he would do for the present, then led him into camp and chained him to the tent pole. As she didn‘t abuse him too much and fed and watered him regularly, the captive wisely concluded he might as well be there as anywhere else, so he neither attempted to break the chain nor choke himself with the collar. As it also happened that the R. H. person was 1 bly wedded to a wealthy and I didn‘t do any of the conquer— fortune to travel to the p 1 wilds of the Badger State. The ob— ject of the expedition was sport ; the results of it were, to say the least, daz— zling. My temporary headquarters was at the flourishing city of Eau Claire, where, after certain citizens had fairly shown their hands in the game of taking in the stranger, I was not sure if the State of Wisconsin was not a portion of Ontario. Be that as it may, I passed many delightful days while waiting for the opening of the shooting season. Be— tween the driving and fishing, the ten— nis and the teas, the erstwhile hard— conditioned Canuck rounded out like a pet spaniel, fit only to nose among the fleshpots. Naturally enough, there were cliques among the social elements, and to one of these I presently found myself at— tached by right of discovery and con— 151 indulgent mortal who openly trusted and encouraged her in the pursuit of happiness, everything was simply hea— venly. Two other members of the coterie must be mentioned in despatches. Now first the "Her," as she was generally dubbed. _A distant relative of the R. H. person, she had the glowing crown to perfection, and she wore it with a grace which defied albino steeds and all kindred nonsense. — She had other pos— sessions, too, which render her brand particularly dang among inflam— mables : a peculiar creamy skin which defies tan, a colour which only shows under excitement, and a pair of eyes mysteriously dark, yet flashing now and then with a spark worthy of rare old wine. Add to these a trim, slender figure, feline in its grace and suggestive of supple strength, and you have a fair 152 THE CANADIAN MAGAZLINE idea of Her. And, mind you, Her had a pretty fair idea of all these things too. Now for the other, whom we had termed "The Yearling." His was a type to be found in only one country of all the known earth. _ Rich, more or less indolent, a second son with a re— mote chance of a minor title, he had (I suspect) been shipped to various parts presumably that he might learn sense, ostensibly, in the present instance, that he might familiarize himself with lum— bering operations. _ As every one densely ignorant of lumbering knows, the latter part of August and the first part of September form an ideal period for research along this line. Needless to say * Yearling " had done famously. He had spent a month in a lumber city, been elected a member of the Club which everybody knew was supported by lumber kings ; he had seen the marks on the big trees left by a freshet caused by a log—jam, and he had seen Her and at once shot the chute and now lay in the pocket ready to be sawed, dressed and shipped according to her whi In person he was not unpleasm while by no means impressive. His figure was good, what there was of it ; his hair was almost white and looked whiter by contrast with a high colour, partly natural and partly sunburned. His features were regular, but his best possessions were a pair of frank grey eyes, a big mouth with even, snowy teeth, and just enough suggestion of squareness about the jaw to redeem the face from weakness. Unruly citi— zens had spoken of him as a " White Mouse," a ‘"White Rabbit," and a * Pet Kitten," but, as frequently hap— pens, the judgment of the citizens was slightly askew. He could sing a bit and stumble through his own accom— paniments on the piano, while his speaking voice was unmistakable. © You‘ve sung in a choir as a young— ster, and I know your Alma Mater," was my inward comment during our first meeting. Boyishly frank and generous, sudden in his likes and dxshkes, Yearling took a violent fancy to me "Oh ! I say, cut the infernal Mister —I‘m Zke Yearling you know !" was his emphatic remark the second day of our acquaintance, so as there was no danger of making a bull of it, I gave him the junior title. Within a week we had become great friends, for we had many tastes in common. Briton—like he loved long tramps; and as I was interested in the grouse covers, we searched them far and wide. He soon made up his mind that I knew more about American game than he did, and with a very un—British method he set himself to learn. _ It transpired that he was ex— tremely sensitive over his real and imagined shortcomings, and I won— dered why. To be candid, he was an entirely new type of Lion‘s whelp, and my passing interest speedily developed into a genuine friendship. ©©You appear to be gettin‘ pretty thick with the Rabbit, don‘t you now?" remarked a prosperous and slightly ignorant citizen at the Club one even— ing. ‘"I can‘t abide that feller," he continued, "he‘s so durn meachin in his ways, ‘an he can‘t talk United States ‘‘Oh! he‘s all right," I replied. He‘s no queerer here than you‘d be where he came Give him a chance—he‘ll learn all right." ©I‘ll lay odds he @or‘t," was the emphatic reply. _ _‘ Whatever they send them durn things our here fur beats me." Now, see here; what‘s he done wrong?" I retorted. " He pays his way, he‘s always polite and friendly, he‘s not at all bad—looking, he dresses well, he doesn‘t squeal when he loses to you fellows in a game he doesn‘t half understand, and he interferes with no— body. He doesn‘t treat a houseful of people every time he takes a drink, but that‘s the proper caper in his crowd at home. You people treat me like a prince; he‘s no more forelgn than I am, why the difference ? ‘Aw, go on !" was the reply— ©You‘re huskey, you don‘t talk mushy —‘sides you‘re just the same as we are —it‘ll be all one country ‘fore long." THE WAY OF A WOODSMAN «Don‘t be too sure of that," I re— plied, ‘"and so long as you fellows pick on Englishmen you‘ll only delay the game. ThlS running a fellow down because he talks like a cultivated gentleman, in fact talks as your own college men try to talk, is prejudice, nothing more. _ You‘d all understand hlm lfhe said—"Hev a drink! would‘nt “Bull) !" ejaculated the crmc ‘Mit‘s on me—what‘ll you have?" * And, he added contemplatively—*"*I don‘t know that the Rabbit ever done me any harm at that." And so it befell that this citizen got so he could tolerate the Rabbit—yea ! even speak a good word for him now and then, and thereby convert other citizens. In one thing, however, as I afterwards learned, they all agreed. There was trouble coming for the Canuck and the Rabbit. "Just wait till that sorrel top takes a decided cant one way and there‘ll be music—Eng— land‘ll have a dummed uncivil war on her hands—you‘ll see !"‘ said the wise men, and they waited. Something of this no doubt filtered to the Yearling, and one night he opened his heart. He wriggled and chewed his cigar for a bit and then remarked : "I‘m going away next week !" * What the deuce for—and for how long ?" I queried. Forever !‘‘ he slowly replied. #MWhy ! You — condemned— stuttered—" I—I thought—" then I roared out laughing for the expression on his face was something irresistible. In a moment, however, a thought suggested nasty possibilities and I muzzled my mirth and looked steadrly at him. _ He was hurt and I saw it. "*Did she refuse you?" was my dehghtful]y blunt query. ©No, she did not, but she might just as well have done s * Did you ask her ?" No I didn‘t—I knew a jolly sight better after the dose I got ©What was the dose ? >2» *¥ou !" It was crisp as a pistol shot, and for 153 a moment I could only stare at him as if he had seven heads. Then I did some rapid thinking, the more rapld because his eye was fixed on me in a fashion I did not altogether relish. Fmally I said—* Yearhng, play fair— you‘re all wrong " But—but" he stammered. (© Never mind your ‘buts,‘ though they‘re natural enough, for you surely are the yearlmgest yearling ever I saw.‘ ‘But she said it plain as woman could," he protested. «© Said what? You‘re a fool ! D‘ye ‘spose she‘d say anything of the sort, especnally to you—Yearling. I‘ve notion to mash your mfernal tl'lle skull. _ * What did she say ?" ‘« Well," he muttered, ‘*we got talking about peop]e and she described her 1deal ._ He was big and tall and very dark—a proper contrast to her, you know. He was an athlete and a sportsman, and a bit of an artist; if he were a writer, so much the better —she adored authors—and one thing he must not be was a musician. She hated musicians. But, most important of all—he must be a woodsman. She e fancied that readm«r the Leather Stocking tales had blased her taste when younger— anyway, she positively adored all the old scouts and guides from Boone to Buffalo Bill, and if her choice could not be a woodsman, or at least a modern sportsman who knew something of the wilds, she‘d stop single—that was all. That was enough for me! not being a natural born fool, I knew whom she meant and that she was trying to steer me off the rocks, so I came away as soon as possible. I bear no malice," he continued bravely, while his voice shook, ‘*it‘s been a fair game and I‘m the loser, only I didn‘t know—I never dreamed—oh ! dammit all !—I‘m a fool anyway !‘‘ t‘Mes, Yearlmg, you are," I replied. In fact you‘re more different kinds of fool rolled together than I‘ve seen for some time. Do you know anything of dreams—of winds—of ocean currents —or of women ?

Why the dickens didn‘t you plump it out and be done with it? She gave you a bully chance and in your be— nighted imagination you ran cunning.

" " How the deuce did you learn all that—or are you just cramming ?" queried the Yearling. * On the trail, my boy," I replied— * on the cold trail of the past, when I was like a certain Yearling. ‘Twas a and frequently mixes her trail sheer deviltry and playfulness. But I trailed her steadily and warily, over ice and snow, church matting, waxed floors and soundless carpets." * But you didn‘t get her?" remarked the Yearling. * Evidently I did not," I replied ; she doubled and got another doe to cross her track—they sometimes do that when they‘re a bit tired, you know. Then I ran the new track for a bit, then another one crossed it, and so it went. Atthat time I was about as big a fool as you are now, so after having done a lot of useless work, I concluded that bucks were good enough for me.

You‘ll be just starting as they arrive and you‘ll tell them we slept in the grass for one night. You‘ll order the other chaps about and make them do all the work, and when you are through the women will be delight— ed and so astonished by your skill that they‘ll give you ten times more credit than you‘re entitled to. You‘ll make a hit—do you savvy ? " Yearling likedtheideaimmensely, and the fool game actually was carried out. The Elk Mound—the camp site—was one of two odd and doubtless artificial mounds which lay about one half mile apart. Past them ran a capital trout brook, on one side of which all was rolling prairie, while upon the other be— gan the huge pine woods in which even a cruiser might get lost. — The second mound was a bit higher than ours, but the trees on the crest were poor, hence our choice. Everything worked finely. Year— ling got his lesson and acquitted him— self so well before the ladies that even I was amazed by his nerve. — She evi— dently was impressed and she treated her cavalier with all the consideration due the hero of the hour. * Say, old chap, you‘re a trump!" quoth the Yearling, as he smote me ©55 on the back with one hand and passed me a B. and S. with the other. _ It‘s sneaky, but it‘s worth it!" he con— tinued, ‘‘ we‘ve bamboozled the entire lot—even me Ladye Faire smiles now upon me—upon me, the expert!

But the blacksmith didn‘t strike any metal that day, nor the next. Feminine innocence hath a way with it which can snarl up more male tactics in a minute than an ordinary thick— headed man can unravel during a con— scientiously profane month. — Why she did it I cannot even guess ; but there came a sudden coyness, a sticking close to the others, and, as a natural conse— quence, a complete baffling of Year— ling‘s tireless efforts to coax her far from the madding. Yearling cursed under his breath and stuck to his task. Then came the inevitable! It always comes and I suppose it always will. I was going fishing, and lo! she pinned me with an ease and grace which fairly took away my breath. She‘d go along — and her chaperone—relative 66 fairly beamed on us and said o ead." a ©You planned that—you witch !" was my inward comment as I glanced at the chaperone. The twinkle in her eye was wondrous eloquent, and I marvelled. But ‘"I learned about women from Her." It was a great fishing trip. Year— ling was mooning around the camp, the lady never was more fascinating and affable, and I had a great time. We caught a few fish, too! Along toward evening we reached the best (most remote) pool, and somehow the conversation drifted towards the Year— ling. Now She had scarified that young gentleman more than once during our chatter. _ So finally, slowly and warily, I began to run him down. It worked ! I hadn‘t more than half got through with him before she was up in arms in defence of the absent. Womanlike, she laid on and spared 156 THE CANADIAN MAGAZLINE not—in fact, she said a deal more than my idle criticism called for. _ But in the middle of a red—hot rally she suddenly remembered something, and I almost jerked the head off a wretched small trout in the effort to conceal unholy mirth. We managed to get home on speaking terms, and found Yearling very, very gloomy. Nor was his gloom dispelled by her thrilling de— scription of our trip. Never had she so enjoyed herself, never had she dreamed there was so much in trout fishing, and never was such a guide as your humble servant. _ I looked at her in mute wonder. Had the time been so heavenly? ‘Peared to me it had been just ordinary, with pretty near a scrap at one point. Feeling somehow I‘d let chances pass me by, and check— ing a wild impulse to invite her to go over the ground again by moonlight, I moved away. Presently to me came Yearling and unburdened his soul. _ It was exactly as he had thought! Any fool could tell by her talk that she‘d had the time of her life, and he evidently wasn‘t at all necessary to her happiness. He‘d go into town next day—in fact, he was a blank fool for ever coming out ! etc., etc., to all of which I answered, * Tommyrot !" — But in order that everybody should surely get what was coming to them, I forbore to mention her attack on me in his defence. That night I had an inspiration. _A totally unexpected smile had made the Yearling forget his resolve to break away, so I asked him to go fishing instead. As might have been expected, he talked about the lady, and when he got about one—eighth through, I sprang my plan. ‘‘ Yearling, you‘ve got to get lost— no shinanigan about it, Zosf you must et1" " But, but," he stammered, "what‘s the good of me uettlng lost? — She wouldn t care a han «* Yes she would, too!” I replied, ‘ for she‘ll be in it.

Any old time after that—which means as soon as the young lady has accepted you—ZZ hear shots—all that‘s left in your gun— three in rapid succession. Then I‘ll get a move on and find you. * But suppose I can‘t get her lost?" he ventured. ©Can‘t even dream such an ab— surdity," I retorted. ‘*Faint heart always lost fair lady. _ You could lose a convent or a W.C.T.U. and not half try 1 7 He grinned, for he was game enough, and the poison was working. *‘Just how ?" he queried, after a few moments of solemn puffing. * Like this. There stands the wood like a black wall. All beyond that is heavy timber. Along the edge runs our stream to a point near two miles below. I‘ve been there ; none of the others know the lay of things. Half a mile in the timber is another stream exactly like this first one, and between the two the land forms a big ridge, like the roof of a barn. Now, you‘ll lead her down this first stream to the point where it begins to curve well into the woods. You can fish here and there on the way—important to keep up appearances, you know. Don‘t for your life talk any nonsense en roufe— get lost first. There‘s a rough bit down there, and, under pretence of cutting off bad going, you‘ll bear away to the left, over the rise, and down to the other stream See? Hilat 1 , tell her I showed you the way—but she‘ll never know the difference. Work along upstream till you come to a big pool with a great rock in the centre. On the rock is a lunch paper with a stone THE WAY OF A WOODSMAN holding it—but you can‘t make a mis— take. If she has been doubting—tell her it‘s my paper. When you‘re at the pool you will be exactly opposite camp. This, rightly timed, will be near sunset. You‘ll eat and have a nip. Meanwhile the sun will be attending to business and the instant he touches the big hills, your valley will begin to darken with amazing celerity. «She‘ll get a bit anxious about the return trip—they‘re all a trifle nervous. You‘ll waste time explaining how far it is by the back track, and it get— ting darker every minute. You‘ll ex— plain how much wiser it is to stop where you are and to signal me. She‘ll object—naturally—then you‘ll fire the first shot and get answered. Then she‘ll at once realize the necessity for sticking to the pool, for I‘ll be coming to the shot. You‘ll swear it will be all right, and you‘ll make a small fire and roast a couple of trout. If this small fire turns into a permanent flame, or merely serves to cook your goose, will be your personal business ! " The Yearling fairly chortled with glee, and after I had made him go over every point, and had fully im— pressed him with the necessity of strict adherance to every detail, we turned homeward. How well it worked !—How well it always works when two clever rascals combine against one poor, weak wo— man. _ To—day, through the mists of years I can see myself sitting in the twilight waiting for the first shot, while through the dusty corridors of time comes the echo of my own voice saying as it said then—‘" Yearling— you‘ll kill me yet—you white—headed English ass !" Well! It all came off according to pro— gramme. The signals were exchang— ed—earlier than might have been. I sneaked into the cover and cat—footed over the ridge and finally ended up be— hind a mighty pine. He‘d built the fire all right, but he‘d made it bigger than I‘d have made it, and the pair sat where no woodsman would have sat when prowling foes might be about. Each free hand held a switch and on 157 each switch was impaled a trout. As I looked they nibbled at their trout— then they nibbled at each other—and to me it seemed their faces were cov— ered all over with trout and bliss ! I backed off till my foot found a dead branch which I seized and snapped twice. The cracks fairly ripped the silence and the pair bounced apart as folksI will under those cireumstances. 66 a 1 h that 1ap—that—you ? The Yearling‘s voice had a new ring —but considering everything a new ring was absolutely necessary. A social ordeal, at which I was the best man and felt the worst. A trip over sea, a triumph over the home people—a lapse of time, occasional letters—a marked paper, (a boy)—a godfather by proxy—an important letter, a return to Wisconsin, another camping party, this time with Her as chaperone and the boy as evidence—a confidential chat when the others were scattered—the explosion of a mine— the retort in kind and we were quits. She was happy as a lark and mater— nity had but ripened her beauty. * He‘s a king," she said softly, as we lounged on the mound with the heir sprawling on his rug betweén us. " But what unmitigated fools you men are !" she continued with a joyous chuckle. * If he was a fool to get it, he‘ll be a bigger fool if ever he loses it," I ventured. * I don‘t mean Ha/—but the way of it all !" she retorted as she burst out laughing. "How so?" I asked. ©See that other mound?" she queried—‘* Well, from the top of that, with a glass you can count the grass blades on this one. The day you and Dearie sneaked out here before the camp, "©Coz" and I followed in the trap. Coz vowed you were up to some— thing, so she insisted upon going to the other mound. We saw you working away—pulling things up and taking them down. _ We laughed at Dearie— he was so funny! Coz solved the rid— dle and we slipped away home. Later 1538 on we laughed ourselves sick.

IT took a sheer hour to get Hallam off his garden talk one evening. Never was heard such a lecture on the various sorts of celery, and the proper way to propagate the species. Yet I only remembered that he sowed the seeds himself, and disdained to buy young plants, as some less ambitious amateur gardeners were wont to do, and that he regarded good celery as an uncommonly delicious luxury, and only second to cold tea and cream. ‘‘And yet," he said, "the Conti— nentals, who think themselves civilized, know nothing of celery except as a flavour to soup. The barbarians ! The Germans and Russians don‘t know it with bread and cheese, and, what is more, they have no rhubarb tarts ! * I expressed my sympathy for the benighted lands that knew neither rhubarb nor the right use of celery. They certainly know a few other things," mused Hallam. ‘"In point of intellectual subtlety they are, per— haps, our equals. Though compara— tively weak in gardening, they produce some tough customers in what may be called my own professional line. Yet, once or twice, I have scored against them. An amusing instance took place, here, in London, not so very long ago. CA ease of diamoond cat dixmond 2 " I inquired. ‘*We. scored, certainly ; but the thing was not particularly difficult. It seemed that a Mysterious Stranger was staying at an hotel in one of the streets running from the Strand to the Embankment; call it the Don Hotel if you will ; a quiet, unpretentious place, in the very centre of the city, yet not conspicuous. 159 There is no need to trouble you with the origin of the suspicion attach— ing to the emmently respectable, bald— headed gentleman, who had two rooms in the uppermost regions of the ‘Don.‘ Suspicions there were of a grave char— acter, and it fell to my lot to tackle the affair. The problem was threefold. To what country did the bald head belong? What was the nature of his business ? Who were his confederates? The eminent Minister from whom I had my instructions did not drop one syllable that could be construed into a direct suggestion; but when he propounded the first query, to what country did he belong? I thought his eye strayed towards a large map of Russia. * Some work had already been done; a common or garden detective had made a report, of which the substance was as follows: (1) The gentleman in question spoke good English, but with a decided foreign accent ; (2) He pro— fessed to be French ; (3) He gave out that he was engaged on a light and sketchy book on England and the English; (4) He had been particular in choosing his rooms, which were at the very top of the house, the one used as his sitting—room being next the street and entered through his bed— room, an arrangement made by him— self, in order (hesaid) to secure quiet for study and writing ; (5) He was visited at irregular intervals by three different people, as follows : A foreign gentle— man, of distinguished manner, aged 33 to 36 ; an old professor of lan— guages, aged 64 to 68 ; and a French priest, aged 40 to 44. Each called once or twice a week. The mysterious stranger seldom stirred abroad ; his ‘ Ne 160 THE CANADIAN MAGAZLNE name was entered in the hotel accounts as M. A. Saval, and some letters addressed Adolphe Saval, Esq., had reached him ; none of them were from abroad. _A few telegrams had arrived addressed ‘Saval, Don Hotel,‘ but their contents had been of the most ordinary character—‘ Will call at 5,‘ and ‘ Unable to call to—day‘ were fair samples of the ‘ wires.‘ To have read thess telegrams was the principal trlumph of the Scotland Yard detec— tive. * It was, however, clear that grave suspicion of some kind existed, or why should I have been asked to investi— gate personally? Of course, I had to formulate a working hypothesis. Scientists adopt this plan of procedure. When they observe phenomena which do not square with their knowledge, they make to themselves a supposition and try to fit facts to it. If they fit all round, well and good. _ If not, the sup— position is either entirely wrong, or at least must be modified to suit the facts as they transpire. You see the idea ?" I said convenient to suppose something to begin with. “Hdvmcr evolved a plan of cam— paign I sent Morland round to see things and this time he had an easy task. _ All he had to do was to stand near the steps of the ‘Don‘ and sell flowers. He was a very pretty flower— girl, and, apart from the work in which he was directly engaged, made interest— ing discoveries as to the moral char— acter of certain respectable citizens and others of the sort who are entirely above suspicion. His task was to find out what he could about the three visitors, and Upton, who lounged about, an out—of—elbows fellow looking for work, was to follow them to their respectlve lairs. ©On the fourth day they sent in their joint report. The three visitors were one and the same person, a fact discovered by their respective heels." This was new to me. ‘*Why by their heels?" I asked. For several excellent reasons, and I may say that I am glad you asked the question, for the invention (if I may use the word) is my own. First, note that the face may be skilfully dis— guised, the figure, even, may be made u You may be looking for a young man, you see an old man with white hair ; you may seek a thin man, and a stout man may pass unsuspected. But I never yet met with anyone clever enough to disguise his feet. ‘Not that I am guided by their shape alone. There is the angle at which they spread outward from the heel, or turn in at the toe ; there is the general hang of the body from the heel upward ; the general swing and con— tour of motion and the walk—a very complicated process is the walk, when minutely observed. And as no two blades of grass are alike, so no two walks resemble each other, or if there be resemblance they are still distin— guishable. _A trained observer would soon know men as well by their heels as by their faces, if he could only see them walk. Bless me, how expressive the feet are ; meanness, generosity, caution, boldness, all are there for those who have eyes to see !" ‘*And so you spotted the three in one by means of his heels ? «© Upton did. He said he had only looked at the heels and the place they went to. _ As to the bodies he had not been observant, but he was prepared to swear that the three visitors of M. Adolphe Saval used one and the same pair of feet. That‘s Upton‘s style of wit. Upton and Morland, bless me, where should I be without them ? Where would the Service be ? «* Well, the heels belonged to a keen— looking foreigner, who to cover his re— peated visits to M. Saval, assumed three different characters. So far, good. We were getting on. But why did he secrecy, and what was his business? were three vital questions that still re— mained unanswered. He lodged in queer diggings in High Street, Borough, and called himself M. Jules Aise, affect— ing French nationality. His business was understood to be pleasure. Like M. Saval, he was studying the morals mmane alinez H e e i nc Giete C aae ioh en IN THE SECRET SERVICE 161 and manners of the mad English ; in fact, they were both ostensibly emulat— ing Mr. Max O‘Rell, as M. Paul Blouet calls himself. **The real person, as distinguished from the three characters adopted, was about thirty—five years old, and in point of appearance was far superior to his lodgings. His landlord was named Schiffer, which is German. Many Rus— sians have German names, and close inquiry revealed the fact that though Schiffer passed for German, he was Russian to the core. _ "Now we found that M. Aise was a singularly slip— pery customer. For days he failed to appear. Traced to his diggings he was temporarily lost. He would vanish for a week at a time, and though the watch— er in charge was ready to take oath Aise had not left the house, he con— tinued his visits to Saval exactly as before! Of course, we soon spotted the dodge. He grating which was hidden by a huge hen—coop, into which he scram— bled and from which he looked to see if the coast was clear. Then he climbed a wall, and by means of devious windings reached the Thames and so got away. — He probably suspected that his movements were under surveillance. When we discovered this piece of inno— cent deceit we determined to let him de— ceive us as much as he liked, and lceep- ing the first watcher in his old position, we traced M. Aise to—where do you think ? Woolwich and the vicinity of "The Charming Jessie." the Arsenal. There the thing became interesting. I began to see daylight. * At Woolwich he spent much time in walking about with a charming lady who seemed to meet him casually, and to be on intimate but respectful terms. Luckydog! He had no otherbusiness in the neighbourhood that we could trace, nor did he ever speak ten words to any other person. Sometimes the pair took tea together in the coffee room of an unexceptionable hotel, and though the lady was tolerably young, and decid— edly charming, the attentions of M. Aise were ap— parently only such as might be ex— pected from a bro— ther, or from a polite commercial dealing with a lady customer. _ If not a case of love, was it a matter of busi— ness ? "Two —more solid facts : the lady was called MissJessie Brown she was a teacher of music and lan— guages in a High School for ladies not far away, and was said to be of English parentage though born and reared abroad. Setting a watch on M. Aise and the charming Jessie, I thus dealt, for the moment, with fact Number One. Fact Number Two was suggestive. M. Aise, in some one of his Three Charac— ters invariably paid a visit to M. Saval at the ©Don Hotel‘ immediately after he had enjoyed the society of the love— ly Miss Brown of Woolwich. Put all the discoveries I have enumerated to— gether, and you will see that the plot was thickening. * At this juncture the problem as— 162 THE CANADIAN MAGAZINE sumed a definite form, and was simply stated thus : What did Aise and Saval talk about? The question was more easily asked than answered. You know that Saval‘s sitting—room was at the top of the hotel, that it looked out on the street, and that his bedroom was between it and the corridor. There was no listening at the door ! What did Aise tell Saval? The answer to that question would decide several things, and would besides indicate the direction in which to look for the con— federates, if any. ©Like other hotel—keepers, the pro— prietors of the ‘Don‘ had an arrange— ment with a builder whereby the latter contracted to keep the place in repair, and, accordingly, no one was surprised when they observed a bricklayer busy on the roof,. I came and went (for I was that industrious bricklayer) with— out let or hindrance, the very pro— prietor himself unconscious of my un— skilfulness with trowel and mortar. The roof was large ; repair was always in order, and better take things in time than wait for serious leakage. Only the builder who was supposed to send me received a hint from an official whose influence was sufficient. Dressed in well—worn corduroys and reeking with mortar, I climbed from the top corridor of the ‘Don‘ through a trap— door designed to act as a sort of fire— escape, and scrambled out on the tiles. It was a painful moment. One slip and the Service would have lost an ornament, while the newspapers found a paragraph, and the newsboys would gloat over good business as they shout— ed ©‘‘Orrible death of a brlcklayer § and walked off towards Trafalgar Square, and in a jiffy I was up and had a neat hole through the roof just large enough to admit the end of the india—rubber tube which was coiled round my body under the waistcoat. The other end was taken to a group of chimneys that afforded shelter and protection, and moreover allowed me to sit comfortably and effectually con— cealed, holding my end of the tube to my best ear. * I tell you the game needs patience, as well as a few other trifling qualifica— tions. I remained there all nlght To have come down late in the evening would have looked awry, for your bricklayer does not stay over working hours out of sheer enthusiasm. And to make sure that nothing was sus— pected, Upton, as a bricklayer‘s hod— man, called at seven o‘clock, and was told I had gone long before, a natural assumption, though, of course, nobody had seen me leave. Upton came again next morning, and climbing out on the tiles gave me needed food and drink. The work was most trying, and though the weather was dry and warm, that terrible long night on the tiles with the amatory Tom—cat and his song of love will long linger on the shelves of memory. Upton brought good news. M. Aise had spent a couple of hours at Woolwich with Miss Brown, and as visits to Saval always followed these meetings, it looked as though I should not have long to wait. Upton stayed on the roof to keep the pot a—bilin‘, while I took rest and change elsewhere, returning at five in the afternoon so as to be ready for Aise, who generally visited Saval in the evenin ‘He came, and the tube worked wonderfully well, though it had one defect. I could not see the two wor— thies whose conversation interested me so much. The language was Russian, and here my two years in St. Peters— burg worked like a charm. In five minutes the whole thing was clear as crystal. Saval was a Russian spy ; Aise was another, in a subordinate position, and bit by bit, they were be— tween them compiling and tabulating every particular concerning our guns, our shells, our stores, our high explo— sives, and, in short, everything we wished to keep secret. How I smiled when I recognized my own favourite pursuit—next to gardening. Problem _ Number One being solved, two others presented them— selves. Where did Aise obtain his armemerentinmnneeis ccte * on rvmameient IN THE SECRET SERVICE 163 information, and, how could we get hold of the tabulated statements which the bald—headed and urbane M. Saval (as he called himself) would doubtless transmit to St. Petersburg when com— plete ? ‘Proceeding, we found that Miss Brown was not Miss Brown at all, but really a Miss Rosomsky, born of more proved beyond doubt that age sometimes brings increased ardour and that the oldest fools are the biggest fools, had been employed in the arsenal from his childhood, and though we may as well avoid direct allusion to his department, I may say that he was in a position to give everything away had he been so minded.

A WEEK elapsed between the story of the mysterious Russian and Hallam‘s next visit, a fact which was clearly indicative of absence on active service.

He is an adept at the art, which he learned at Bonn when fighting his way through that charming seat of learning thirty years ago. — He declares that fencing, smok— ing, and German were all the accom— plishments he acquired, as though these were not sufficient triumphs of a University career. When the rings reached the mystic number of seven, and the last had dissolved on the ceiling, he said :— "I detest Paris. The sur— face is fair, the depths are foul beyond description. The rottenness of the Empire runs to Paris, and every— thing that flourishes on fecu— lence is naturally attracted there." * Still, there is refinement and culture ? " ‘ Side by side with de— gradation, cruelty, brutality. Ah ! Paris is the place for the Anarchist ! There he is at home ; there he finds his needful environment.

He was getting on one of his favourite subjects, that of racial traits, and it was needful to call him off, or there would be no story. I dissembled and remarked :— ©So you went over to Paris to add your quota to the wisdom of the Assassination Committee? " ‘©Exactly ; and let me tell you it was a risky business. — Besides myself, the Committee consisted of three Italians, an Austrian, and a French— man, one and all cranks of the most dangerous sort. On— receiving the usual summons I went over via Dieppe, and, you may be sure, not forgetting my secret coat of mail. The coat of mail surprised me, and I said so ; at the same time asking if it in any way resembled the ball—proof jacket worn by Mr. Parnell to preserve him from the attentions of his fellow— patriots.

The point is so fine, and the triangular blade so thin, yet so strong, that the penetration _ is somethmg fearful. Another bit of armour was worn to meet this, and with a pair of miniature six—shooters in my pockets, I thought that, barring unforeseen circumstances, I might perbaps argue persuasively in the event of any unpleasantness. "I knew all about the object of the meeting before I left England, and I was also well aware that my influence would probably be supreme by reason my long residence in London. And, in point of fact, my knowledge of the locality where the deed was to be done, and my immense enthusiasm in the cause, led the chief of the Paris centre to abdicate the position he held by virtue of his office, and to move that I take the chair. I accepted with becoming modesty, and called upon the French head centre, one Duval, to move the main resolution. © Duval fancied himself as an orator, and though half he said was lost on the Austrian scoundrel and the three Ital— ians, that made no difference to his en— joyment. _ We were in an upper room of the Rue Blanche, not far from the Moulin Rouge, and he was positively noisy.

But though he declared that the assassin of the Great Personage under condemnation would be, in his judgment, the most enviable man in the world, the idea of volunteering his own services did not seem to occur to him.

A very picturesque ruffian this Egger. Under the impresson that he had been unjust— ly dealt with in a suit involving pro— perty he had decided to do what in him lay to abolish all Governments. He had travelled far and wide, and had an intimate and brotherly relationship with the rascalry of several countries. * The third speaker was the Italian, Villani, whose name suited him to a hair. He was a genial sort of cut— throat, and once more proved the truth of Shakespeare‘s remark that a man may smile and smile and be a villain. He had an innocent, almost boyish look, and would have interested any philanthropic lady who might have found him in apparent want. . "This delightful ruffian had a soft, sweet voice that went well with his appearance. — He was young, and said to be in high favour with the fair sex, and truth to tell, he was of the pattern that the great majority of average women go crazy about. So very mild and gentle, you know ; so silky and soft—spoken ! _ He was eminently prac— tical, and the first that got down to real business. He said that before selecting an agent for the very honor— able and noble function in view, it would be well to decide as to the best and surest means of bringing off the coup. Villani was like that fellow in Shakespeare who wants to make assurance doubly sure, and, so far, was with him, for, as you know, I love thoroughness and the practicality that keeps its eye fixed upon the end in view. In point of intellect Villani was good enough for the service, but if you had strained him a hundred times through a hair sieve you would not have found in him a single grain of human feelin * He discussed the history of assas— sination, and was evidently an enthu— — THE CANADIAN MAGAZINE siast, and one who had read up his subject and thoroughly enjoyed the details. He showed why assassination had failed, and urged that time, place, and circumstances should be thor— oughly considered on the present important occasion. Then in regular order he examined the means. Bombs, he said, were admirable in a crowd, but unreliable when the removal of a particular person was desired. He admitted that the case of the Russian Emperor was an exception, but said this was more than counterbalanced by the failure of Orsini and his com— rades to compass the ‘removal‘ of the Third Napoleon. No, he hoped his friends the brethren would bear with him, but he had carefully studied the matter, and if the honourable com— mittee should decide on bombs, he felt that the confidence which in such a case was so desirable would be wanting. Then there was the knife; the stiletto. Far be it from him to detract from the efficacy of the knife in deter— mined hands. His brethren from Italy knew what could be done with the knife. (Here the other two Italians nodded and smiled approvingly.) Yet the knife had disadvantages, which in the present case promised to be in— superable. For instance, the Great Personage would be in a carriage, and, therefore, practically inaccessible. The streets would be hedged with the military, and any Jlover of humanity who might attempt to break through the and rush upon the moving veh would run the risk of being knocked on the head without havmor effected Much might be said for the revolver,. It was a lovely instrument, and did honour to the heart as well as to the head of the inventor. If fired at a sufficiently short range to make sure of the mark, nothing could well be better. _ But to use the revolver effec— tively one needed to be close, for really good pistol shots were rare. A few might, perhaps, be found in America, Weeeith e iseiiines Pn demny aarccasy"" “*"«i IN THE SECRET SERVICE 169 and he had even heard — of good revolver shooting at the Bisley meeting of rifle volunteers in perfidious Albion. But these experts were not available to the cause, and though a couple of American Presidents had been bowled over by revolvers, the Anarchists could not claim the credit of either removal. Moreover, both were effected by sur— prise. One President was sitting in the theatre, the other was walking slowly in front of the ‘operator.‘ The Great Personage with whom they hoped to deal would in all probability be whirled along in a carriage. That increased the difficulty of the problem ; and, besides, the best revolver shot might lose his nerve at such a trying moment. What then was his proposi— the chances of would give him our attention for a moment longer, he would endeavour not to detain us. achieve great things we re— quired adequate means. Instead of the one ‘operator,‘ he would propose that three be appointed. The many failures the cause had had to deplore arose mainly from the employment of a single individual, who in the supreme moment lost his head without having a sup— porter at hand to correct his error. "He proposed three ‘operators.‘ Now for the means, and he would ask us to notice that the choice of means limited the number of ‘operators‘ available. —Anybody could use a knife ; but here, as he had shown, the knife was not advisable, and he proposed the repeating rifle. Three ten—shooters in skilful hands ought to make satis— factory work. —Rifles could be laid on rests, and the carriage covered from the back or the front, the marksman firing in a straight line with the motion of the vehicle, which could be attacked at a certain spot arranged beforehand. The rifle was better than a revolver in that a modern magazine—gun had ten shots, while the revolver had only six ; the rifle had infinitely greater range and penetration ; and a hundred men could be found to shoot straight with a rifle for one good with the revolver. There were some other points, but he felt he bad already detained the honour— able company long enough, and he would be glad to hear the opinion of the meeting. With this, and a low bow, Villani sat down, smiling and showing his teeth in the most charming way. * Another Italian named Sosa, suc— ceeded, but only to support Villani, whom he praised as the pride of Italy. He thought the proposition could not be bettered. "The third Italian, one Damiano, was more critical, yet on the whole approved _ Villani‘s _ well—considered scheme. But where, he asked, were the three riflemen to come from? And would provision be made by which they might have a reasonable chance of escape. _ It was all very well to talk of immortality. — The priests professed to be anxious for immortality, but when they were ill they sent for the doctor, and in every way postponed putting off mortality to the latest pos— sible moment. If escape were pro— bable men would come forward. "Here the estimable Herr Egger stated that two were already found : a Russian marksman, whose family had snffered severely through devotion to Nihilism, and an Italian gamekeeper who had acquired much skill in the use of firearms, and who through jealousy had ‘removed‘ his wife, and had escaped over the Swiss frontier. The third man would doubtless be found. * There was my opportunity. I stated what was perfectly true, that since my residence in England I had given much attention to scientific rifle shooting, and that if I were deemed worthy of the honour, I would be only too happy to make a third in the mag— nificent project before us. I took it that the other two had been sounded, and that, subject to the approbation of the meeting, they would be found ready and willing ? ©Villani and Duval assented, and Egger added that more determined © operators‘ could not be found on the planet. Resuming, I proposed to put 170 Villani‘s resolution to the meeting, and if that should be carried, I would retire while they discussed my own worthiness to a share in the most glorious enterprise in the history of Anarchism. This being duly agreed, I left the room—for another, whence by means of a small opening in the wall, deftly covered with wall—paper, I could hear all that was said in my absence. It had been an easy matter to arrange this detail, for during my Anarchist visits to Paris I regularly stayed in the house, which was one of the great loddmo-houses of the cit ou may guess, I hstened with some mtenslty, for though careless about my election, I wished to note whether my loyalty was suspected, and whether there would be any need for mysnx-shooters to address the meeting. went well. I was elected, thanked and congratulated. My pro— posed colleagues were in Paris, and it was resolved that I should be entrusted with funds to purchase Winchester repeating rifles, and that all three should be familiarized with the weapon by a short course of practice. In the fulness of time Villani was to proceed to London, and with me, was to obtain rooms and generally to concert meas— ures for the grand coup. All this was done, and though Anarchists are not famous for the possession of money, the enthusiasm of the few who knew what was in the wind was infectious, and Duval supplied us liberally if not lavishly. At last all was ready. My fellow Schoumoff, the Russian enthu— siast, was a mild—looking man of five or six and thirty ; Vasco, the Italian, had a simple air. Both were harmless in appearance, though with respect to the doctrines of anarchy both were monomaniacs and highly dangerous. Both were ignorant and easily led, and both believed that escape after the deed was amply assured, and that success would be richly rewarded. "The rooms were on the first floor THE CANADIAN MAGAZINE of a well—known thoroughfare not far from Temple Bar, and the range did not exceed five yards—if the shots were fired as the carriage passed the house. But we had a better arrange— ment. Near our window the street made a small curve which would for some twenty yards cause the carriage to approach almost directly towards our position. ‘This would enable us to cover the Great Personage with accuracy, and would avoid the risk attending the merely momentary aim to be obtained as the carriage passed the window. _ Then we had among us thirty shots as fast as we could pull the trigger, and it was thought that with such an immense concourse of people a few stray bullets might teach the multitude the risks of associating themselves with Royalty, and so con— vey a salutary lesson and impress the advantages of anarchy. Cabs, driven by friends, were to await us in a quiet back street, which would be deserted at the moment of the ‘ operation.‘ I need not trouble you with the details of our plans for a clear course to the next hiding place. Suffice that my fore— thought extorted the praise of Villani, who was a master of detail.‘ Here I remarked that the man in the street would wonder why the wretches were not arrested the moment they landed on English soil. Hallam inti— mated that the reasons were complex, but convincing. The foreign anar— chists in London who were in to on the arrest of their friends would probably in revenge have done some— thing desperate, and thus a calamity would have been brought about by the very means taken to avert it. Then the whole course of proceeding had been mapped out from first to last, and no foreign Government would have dealt with these scoundrels unless they had been taken red—handed, as it were. These were two only of a hundred de— tails, and I might take it that the Secret Service knew its business. Re— suming the narrative, Hallam said : We were at our posts at six on the morning of the eventful day, though it was reckoned that nothing would be kn . IN THE SECRET SERVICE done until ten or eleven. At nine we arranged ourselves at our posts, Vasco and I at one window ; Schoumoff at the other, which was in a second room. Villani was below, standing patiently on the kerb, by a lamp—post, well in sight of us all, and ready to give the preparatory signal, his position permit— ting a more distant view than ours. We filled the magazines of the rifles, laid them across the chair—backs which were to serve as rests, and indulged in mild cigarettes and coffee, for my colleagues were temperate men, and regarded themselves as heroes in a noble cause. * When our dispositions were made, I took up my role of signaller—a role not reckoned on by Villani and his friends. In less than two minutes three gentle knocks came to the locked door. _ Villani for the moment had left the lamp—post, and the taps were in a certain order, understood in anarchist lodges. * Vasco looked at me. _‘ Villani,‘ I said. He opened, and was instantly secured, while at the same moment I sprang upon Schoumoff, and laid him on his back. Villani, of course, had been arrested below. It was a neat operation, though simple as to the working out." "What was done with the disap— pointed operators ?" *They were handed to their respec— tive Governments, with a diplomatic Hpl for their other crimes. In such affairs Governments oblige each other. And it was desired that the day of Jubilee should pass without a cloud, without any incident of a regrettable character. You see the idea ? " I said that the Russian and Italian Governments could make their punish— ments fit the crime attempted as well as the crime accomplished. «* Precisely. Schoumoff, accused of Nihilism, was sent to the mines of Siberia for life, which meant that he was dead to the world. Villani and Vasco were both executed for the mur— ders they had committed. I alone es— caped to Paris, to tell the story of our failure. Duval declared that Villani was the traitor, and that he had never really believed in his loyalty. Having no evidence he had held his peace, but instinct had warned him, and so far his instinct had never been at fault. A clever fellow, Duval. _ Immediately after the Paris meeting he had tried to sell both plot and plotters to the Scot— land Yard folks, and his letters, which were handed to me as they arrived, were rather good, his description of myself being very carefully done. I was sorry to hear of his body being found in the Seine a few days after our last meeting, that to which I have just referred. Probably his associates got wind of his correspondence with Lon— don.

Come over and smoke your pipe and that the men might be dealt with while I work." x x c EPISODE V.—THE STOLEN SIGNAL BOOK. WE had spoken of British patriotism, and Hallam concurred with me that though the English when compared with foreigners seemed cold externally, no people in the world were prouder of their country or more determined to preserve its honour before the world at large. ©There are exceptions," he con— tinued, * but the exceptions only prove the rule. There never was a country without its traitors, and, if I remem— ber aright, there was a Judas among the Twelve Apostles themselves." I said that my reading of Scripture had left the same impression. He lay back 1 iously and smoke—rings, the first large, the second small, and to blow the little one through the big one. To acquire the needful skill takes time, but while the 1792 THE CANADIAN MAGAZINE student is thus engaged he is doing nothing worse, a consideration which contents the authorities. * It rather depresses one to find that traitors are not unknown in Eng— land," resumed Hallam, " yet we can— not complain. Treachery with us is not racial, as in some countries. We have an occasional traitor, just as we have an occasional case of Asiatic cholera. _ Both are forelgn to the country and the climate." I suppose that you have investi— gated cases of treachery more serious than the Woolwich affair." ©© Most certainly. For that was not treachery at all. I would rather des— cribe it as tomfoolery. Poor old Peter ! Convicted of betraying the secrets of his country to a foreign Power, he left the Court (as it were) without a stain on his character.

And if you jumped on him afterwards, no doubt a British jury would take a lenient view, and would ascribe it to— * Uncontrollable impulses of hys— teria," I suggested. "Just so. And your reference to ‘Lucy ‘ reminds me that the dear child played a most important part in the detection of an unfortunate piece of treachery which occurred in connection with the British navy. ‘*At the moment I was called into this special business, I was so happy that I knew it could not last. I was potting artichokes, and my asparagus beds looked better than I had ever seen them. But ruthless fate was not to be denied ; and when my servant appeared at the corner near the celery trench, I bet myself half—a—crown I was about to be sent away for a month. And so it was. Mackie is certainly a good gardener, but—who likes to leave his loved ones in charge of another ? "This time I saw an Admiralty official who, at first, assumed a tone of superiority so overwhelming that, I concluded, he thought he was talking o a groom. When I had set him right on this point I learned that a Fleet Signal Book had been stolen from * the ‘Pe/ion‘ lying off Plymouth, and to this almost incredible fact might be added two others—no one had been arrested, and no one in authority could offer the smallest suggestion as to the direction in which it had disappeared. © You will understand that the loss of such a book involves consequences of the gravest character. — Suppose we were engaged in a naval war and that the enemy had the means of reading our signals, and also of misleading our ships or even decoying them to their destruction. pon my word, circum— stances are conceivable in which our very existence as a nation might de— pend on the enemy‘s possession and mastery of our Fleet Signal Book I began to see the extreme serious— ness of the situation. ©The thing is so important that every such book is heavily bound in lead, and by the standing orders must be placed a certain spot during battle, so that if needful, it can be sent to the bottom of the sea at a moment‘s notice.

Stated seriatim, my information was as fol— lows : He called himself W. J. Thom— son, of Liverpool ; he was supposed to six months ; he was fond of boating, and was an expert oar ; he was on the water every afternoon, but he did not always row himself ; on these lazy days he always hired the same man, one Gubbins, and lastly Mr. Thomson had intimated that he would shortly give up his rooms, and would proceed on an extended tour to Italy and Happy dog ! So far I could discover no earthly reason why he should have uttered an exclamation in French ; nor could I explain to myself the un—English flash of his eye as he used the abusive words. And the name of Thomson excited suspicion. It was so very common—pace that it migh?t have been chosen for a purpose. I fol— lowed up this scent with alacrity. * Before many days I found that no such person was known in Liverpool. No W. J. Thomson, a skilled yachts— man of independent means and who spoke French, was traceable by my agents in the Mersey city, and I began to rub my hands. Instinct, dear boy, was at work. There is within us a sub—consciousness, an intellectual sug— gestion, the working of which we do not perceive except by its results, and this it is that convinces us without rea— son, as it were. Of course, the faculty is more highly developed in some than in others. I flatter myself that mine has a high degree of sensitiveness, and that in many perplexmg investigations it has pulled me through. But we are verging on the occult let us call it instinct eh ! 4 We watched Mr. Thomson pretty closely, either from the water—side or the deck of the Pe/zox, and I soon observed that he had altogether given up rowing himself, and that Gubbins was now invariably employed. De— cxdedly, the dear Gubbins was absorb— ing some of the interest which proper— ly belonged to Thomson ! Who, and what was the weather—beaten Gubbins, and of what did the two speak so earnestly when far away from shore? For so much I had noted through the excellent naval glass with which ‘Lucy‘ and I, standing on the hospitable deck of the Pe/lzon, swept the horizon at all sorts of times. My darling girl was particularly partial to this recreation, and in a few days was familiar with every peculiarity of the favoured Thom— son, who, she declared, when talking with Gubbins three or four miles out, would gesticulate like a Frenchman. Just so. But why so much discussion with a mere ‘longshore man?‘ d why discuss at sea? Was it because there are walls ashore and walls have ears? * Gubbins was soon tabulated. Tall, dark, and sullen ; about fifty ; shady boat owner ; father and grandfather smugglers and worse ; betting man down on his luck, his boats mortgaged to the very thwarts. Beautiful ! When I heard this from ‘ Lucy,‘ I exclaimed, in the words of a song once popular, ‘Now we shan‘t be long !‘ him was at each step confirmed by the facts which successively came to light. Gubbins was likely to be productive of more soul—stirring information ; instinct cried aloud th'lt Gubbins must be worked for all he was worth. " It was strange, but Lucy, with all her talent, had after all missed the most vital piece of information. In a casual talk with a Devonport man I learned that Gubbins had a son in the navy, somewhere, but whether at home or abroad nobody knew, probably Gubbins himself did not know. He was just the sort that took no notice of their offspring, nor they of him. A son in the navy, had he? Bless my stars ! Beautiful once more! And that son—was he by any chance serving on the Pe/ion 2 Ahem— pardon my ‘hollow cough.‘ " The Commander was surprised to see me return to the ship that evening, for my talk with the Devonport man TN THE SECRET SERVICE 175 had occurred after my daily visit to the vessel. I asked whether the musical name of Gubbins adorned the ship‘s books? He answered in the negative. There was no Gubbins ; there never had been a Gubbins ; and there was no immediate probability that there would ever be a Gubbins—and—what was I going to drink?" And as Hallam busied himself with the lighting of a fresh pipe of tobacco, I filled up the vacancy by suggesting that the non—existence of the name of Gubbins on the ship‘s books was rather disappointing, in view of the theory he had probably formed. t*Not a bit of it," he replied. There was a chance that the name might be there. As a matter of detail I went through the process of inquiry, but I should have been surprised to learn that any Gubbins was on the books." ‘*Why so?" * Because the old man—the Gubbins at the head of the family—was shady, and, as a ‘longshoreman, far too well—known to seafarers generally. A young fellow with a father like that, on entering the navy, would call him— self by any other name in preference. He wouldn‘t want to be asked if he was any relation to old Gubbins of Devonport. No ; I was not surprised, nor was I discouraged. For I felt that the rose by any other name would smell as sweet, and that here was a likely and promising vein to work, while there seemed to be no vestige of a chance in any other direction. Never mind the name; but—was there a genuine Gubbins on board ? " t was great to see Hallam‘s deep satisfaction as he imbibed the nectar, preparatory to his last and final spell of narrative. I asked him whether he had thought of inquiring into the antecedents of everybody on board with a view to tracing a Gubbins to the Pelion. How heartily he laughed at this Iuminous suggestion ! When he had partially recovered from his unusually severe attack of hilarity, he resumed : ‘*Not having the resources of the Empire at my sole disposal, nor yet the space of ten years to spare for the inquiry, I had to try a shorter method. First, I failed to connect the known Gubbins with anyone on the ship. None of the Pelion‘s crew had been seen with him ; nor was it known that he had held any communication with the PeZzon, while it was certain he had never been aboard. The most rigid investigation in this direction left us without any result. No matter; when baulked on one line of march, I try another ; if a frontal attack fails to come off I try a flanking movement ; if that won‘t work I try the other flank ; if beaten again I recommence. My motto is that of the nigger min— strel : I ‘neber gib up.‘ "I took a fancy to the sea, and indulged in a regular daily row—with Gubbins, ‘ Lucy‘ remaining on shore, with an eye on the interesting Thom— son. My boatman was taciturn, also shrewd and suspicious ; the greatest care was needed. From the keen, quick glances he threw upon me, I saw that here was a very alert and practical rogue, and one who suspected everybody, and therefore might even suspect the good faith of the Rev. John Cartmail, a person who really existed, and who, as a near relative of his name. up in ‘Crockford‘ they would have found that I held a parish among the Cree Indians, while I could have proved, if needful, that I was absent fr—m my mission on leave. I mention these details to give you a further proof of the thoroughness at which I always aim. The best—laid schemes of mice and men will gang awry without proper attention to detail. Imagine me, then, with Gubbins. And as he hardly spoke, and the smallest attempt at eliciting information would have been fatal, it at first seemed that I lost time, though I gained health by this daily boating. Of course, I never mentioned Thomson, nor did I suc— ceed by the subtlest methods Icou]d devise, in extracting a single allusion to his afternoon customer. The work 176 THE CANADIAN MAGAZLINE was delicate, difficult, and at best un— certain. It was like fishing for trout off London Bridge with a bent pin, no bait, and a fleet of barges on the water. ©The one thing that troubled me most, and aroused doubt as to whether hunt was not after a will—o‘—the— wisp was this : if Thomson were really a member of the French Secret Service, and implicated in the loss of the Signal—Book, why did he continue to hang about Plymouth and Devon— port ? The Book was clean gone, and, if my surmises were well founded, Thomson ought to have gone with it. But, I argued, a confederate might have taken charge of the Book, while Thomson remained on further busi— ness. Assuming the latter supposition to be well founded, the watching of Thomson and his supposed accomplice Gubbins would not be altogether lost time. Meanwhile, I studied Gubbins from a physical point of view, until I knew the turn of his eye, the set of his neck, the swing of his limbs, the con— tour of his jaw, and, in short, the most minute pecuhaxmes of his personal appearance. Here I said that the why and the wherefore of all this did not strike me; perhaps I was dull, but surely much less observation would have sufficed for 1dent1ﬁcatlon, supposing this to be the object in view " Bother 1dent|ﬁcatlon; you just blow your weed and bide your time. Don‘t be impatient, dear boy. You know something of the force of hered— ity, I suppose?" I said that the subject was now re— garded as of the first importance. ©Recent research has proved to demonstration the immense influence of heredity in determining, not only physical traits, but also men— tal predispositions. We have long known that the children of a drunken father are more likely than others to be lost through drink. We now know that the children of thieves are likely to have an ingrained inclination to theft, even though removed in infancy from their early surroundings, and the greatest German scientists go so far as to declare that faith and belief in superstitions _ are also hereditary. When I had studied my Gubbins suffi— cxently, I took my research aboard the Pelto 7s My dear Hallam," I said, " your drift is qulte obvious to the meanest intellec Hallam waved his cherry—wood stem as though intimating that we had ar— rived at a perfect understanding. " The first day sufficed ; the con— tour of the lower jaw—blade decided me ; the man who wore it was a fine fellow physically, but not much liked by his comrades. In other physical characteristics he probably took after the mother, but the Gubbins jaw—bone was enough for me. The Command— er knew him as William Gibbons ! Gubbins and Gibbons, eh? As the children say, we were getting hot! I asked the Commander whether he had a private cabin where I could rub my hands and smile at my ease. Then, with the Commander‘s assistance, I set a wee little trap. " Gibbons was set to some kind of work at his post, and as the Com— mander and I walked past the spot, I said, as though in the course of con— versation ‘The real name was Gub— ins, I understand.‘. The start that William Gibbons gave was sufficient, without the inquiring look with which he followed me. _ Unknown to himself, William Gibbons was from that mo— ment under the closest scrutiny. _ After this, to discover that on the day on which the Signal—Book was lost, Gib— bons had been engaged below, in the vicinity of the Commander‘s cabin, was not surprising. No doubt others were also there, but what made his case more interesting to me were the facts that his name of Gibbons so closely re— sembled the name of Gubbins, that his jaw—bone resembled the jaw—bone of Gubbins, and that the latter was in constant communication with a person who called himself Thomson, yet whose native tongue was French, and who did not belong to Liverpool as he claimed. , IN THE SECRET SERVICE ‘*At this juncture I determined on a change of plan, and after a touching farewell to my relative commanding the Pelion, ‘Lucy‘ and I departed in peace, regretted by all, especially the susceptible lieutenants. We were back in Devonport the same day in the character of tourists from Derbyshire. Dressed in quiet tweeds we did hon— our to our county. I was W. J. Thomas, Esq., ! Lucy‘ was my eldest boy. We put up at the hotel favoured by Mr. W. J. Thomson. Our names were much alike, weren‘t they ? " There was no denying the resem— blance of the names. ©© Such things lead to mistakes, you know. Now I had observed that for the last three days Gubbins and Thomson had not met ; it seemed as though they had broken off diplomatic relations. Further, Gubbins had been prowling round the hotel, which he eyed as though watching for someone to em— erge, and there could be no doubt that he looked hard at the windows of the rooms oc— 177 cupied by Thomson. Was Gubbins merely on the lookout for further employment, and if so, why did he not walk into the hotel and ask for Thomson at once? Why this cau— tion, and above all, why this sudden severance of a pair whose intimacy, having regard to the difference in so— cial status, was surprising? And the gesticulation noticed through the tel— escope, what of that? What was the cause of so much earnestness? Amid all this conjecture experience told me one certainty. If Gubbins wished to communicate with Thomson, and the latter held off, Gubbins would write. How my dear boy watched the T compartment in the hotel letter—rack ! T, you will perceive, stands for Thomas and also for Thomson, while the initials of our Christian names were the same. "Thomson seemed to have little correspondence, but now and then a letter ©The start that William Gibbons gave was sufficient." 178 THE CANADIAN MAGAZINE arrived, and sure enough each bore the Liverpool post—mark. _ But the contents interested me most, for you will be pained to learn that my boy was rather careless, and frequently brought Thomson‘s letters to my room, where they were examined without our leaving any perceptible trace of the operation—and promptly returned to the rack. _ If, during their temporary loan they had been missed, the s mil— arity of the names was sufficient ex— planation. But this did not happen, and my boy (his name was Tom) and I simply waited for the denouement. The letters were in French ; they came from a Liverpool agent of the French Secret Service who worked in collusion with Thomson, and they amply con— firmed my theories. But the mystery of Thomson‘s continued stay was ex— plained. Gubbins had the Signal—Book, and was standing out for a thousand against five hundred pounds offered by Thomson. Hence the coolness between them. The Book was in the hands of Gubbins. Should we arrest him or wait? We decided to wait, and our decision proved sound * By one of the letters from Liver— pool Thomson was authorized to close with Gubbins at once, and to get across the channel in a yacht that would stand off Plymouth harbour to pick him up at a stated time. Of course the young fellow (he turned out to be an officer in the French navy, detailed on spec:al service), was in high splrlts and im— mediately put himself in communica— tion with Gubbins. Swaggering to the quay, he took a boat as before, and the pair set off over the briny, while ‘Tom‘ and I, from different strategic situations, watched them through ex— cellent telescopes. The voyage was not long ; the terms, time and place of meeting, were evidently agreed. This was an anxious time. There was no knowing what course events might take, and I wired to London for Upton. "He was down in a jiffy, and, also as a tourist, watched at Plymouth for the French yacht, which duly arrived, and which bore the name of Z‘Zspoir, which means Hope. Ha! ha! After that we had only to watch Thomson. At midnight, and on Sunday, too, this enterprising personage left the hotel, his luggage having been sent to Calais be— forehand without the Signal—Book, as we had good reason to know. He made for the jetty, Upton, ‘Tom‘ and yours truly on his track. The night was very dark, and there was a strong breeze. Gubbins awaited him in the boat which was to bear him and his precious charge to the yacht, which showed a red light at the mast—head‘a mile away. The treacherous ‘long— shoreman,‘ having greeted ‘Thomson, entered the boat and proceeded to light a lantern. We crept nearer and nearer in the darkness, ‘Tom‘ well in front. It was now or never. ‘Have you got the cash?‘ Gubbins inquired, and Thomson, answering in low tones, Gubbins held up the lantern as though to light the final act of the transaction before rowmg to the yacht. With a spring, ‘Tom‘ bounded from the quay into the boat, alighting on the lantern, Upton and I jumping after with more precaution, and so as to avoid capsiz— ing. For two minutes the affair was lively, but our arrangements were com— plete. The police were at hand to support our first charge, and the lost Signal—Book was rescued from the grip of Gubbins and borne in triumph to my hotel." toDid you ‘ever learo," I asked, how the Book was stolen and got Never. But we identified Gib— bons as the son of Gubbins, and though no evidence that the two had commumcated had transplred Her Majesty decided to get along in future without the valuable services of Wil— liam Gibbons. As for Gubbins, his fate was settled by an unlucky crack of the skull received from the baton of a pohceman in the struggle. Meningitis set in, and he died in hospital. Mr. Thomson was detained for two days, and then set at liberty for reasons best known to the diplomatists.

EPISODES VI AND VII WILL APPEAR IN JANUARY. QUALICHIN AND THE CULTUS TRADER. By Harold Sands. S[WASH JIM serves King Edward. * The Great White Mother sleeps," said he. * Siwash Jim and Chief Dick now take orders from Edward Rex." It was characteristic of Jim that he placed himself before Chief Dick. Jim is the policeman at the Indian ranch— eree, near Vancouver, and he serves the blue papers headed ¢"Edward Rex," which Chief Dick only signs. In front of the residence of Siwash Jim is a huge totem pole. In the even— ing, when he begins to feel lonely, Jim returns to the bosom of his family ; in other words he communes with the totem pole, for upon it, in many a fantastic curve, is written the history of his forebears. Jim is not able to transcribe that part of the pole which tells of the family relations previous to the landing of Captain Cook at Nootka in 1778. Whether his ignorance is real or assumed I have not yet been able to fathom, but this much is pretty certain, the history was written in a bloody writing. One day when Jim was in a particu— larly good humour, he asked me to come and sit beneath the totem and drink in the glories of the past. I thought it an excellent chance to hear a chapter from the totem pole. ©You would like to hear some— thing of Jim‘s history," he remarked in answer to my question. ‘ The war fever is in your blood," he went on, ‘‘and you cheer the men who go fight the Boers, so I will tell you the story of the man who levelled his sukwalal (gun) at the Hyas Tyee (Sir James Douglas, Governor of Vancouver Is— land in the fifties) in the days of my father. ‘Your Douglas was made Hyas Tyee over all the land by the Great Mother who sleeps at Windsor, over there beyond the mountains where the railway runs. My father was then chief of the Cowichins. ‘There came among us a white trader. He was peshak (bad) at heart. We called him cultus, which in your way of speaking, is worthless. He sought to exchange firewater for furs. One of our young braves had a valu— able otter skin which the white man wanted. But Qualichin did not love whiskey and he intended the skin for Mowasa, a beauty of the tribe. * One night, while Qualichin was sleeping, the trader came to his tent to steal the skin. Qualichin awoke just as the cultus man was escaping. He cried to him to stop, but the white man ran on, so Qualichin shot him. How could he help it if the man was shot in the back? The white man was run— ing away. We tended to the wound and cured the trader, but he brought evil upon us by reporting all manner nne Bb te en onanantetitistnrsiints abniniiticecned $ 180 THE CANADIAN MAGAZINE of bad things to the Hyas Tyee at Victoria. * The great Governor believed the tales of the trader and he came up the coast in a Queen‘s ship. When at Saanich, he sent for my father. ©* Cowichin,‘ said he, ‘you have a young man in your tribe whose hands are stained with the blood of a white trader. You must give him up for trial at Victoria.‘ ©My father was overcome with grief. He knew that the trader was a liar, but he knew also that the Sons of the Mother stand by each other through good and ill. * © We are the servants of the great White Mother,‘ he answered, ‘ but the white trader must have lied to you.‘ And he drew himself up as if naught but truth was spoken by one of our tribe." (Jim told me in strict confi— dence that there were some rogues among the Cowichins as among the Songhees, their natural enemies.) «©My father," continued Jim, * told the Governor that the trader came a a thief to steal, and that Qualichin shot to save his property * He must be given up to justice,‘ replied the Governor. _ ‘I myself will take him to Victoria and see that he has fair trial. ‘My father sighed. He was well aware that Qualichin would never come back from Victoria without the mark of the skookum house (prison upon him. He asked for time to con— _ ider. "The White Tyee was always fair to his opponents and he granted the request. That night there was a great talk among the Cowichins. The young among the tribe were for a fight, but the elders pointed out that there were guns on the Queen‘s ship in the bay and men in blue and leggings who never missed when they shot. ©Qualichin ended the talk by say— ing : (I shall give myself up to the White Chief in the morning, but to—night I would be with Mowasa.‘ * The morning dawned and the Governor appeared. ©Cowichin,‘ he commanded, and there was that in his voice which made even my tather tremble, ‘bring out your prisoner. But the spirit of our ancestors was with my father yet. He looked at the Governor, and there was grief and lofty purpose in his kindly eye. The men from the war vessel were as stones of blue. ©‘Do not ask it, Governor,‘ he re— plied. ‘I cannot give him up. "The Governor lifted his hand and the stone monuments took on life. They marched in front of us and stood wlth guns ready at the shoulder. ©Our tribe had weapons, we out— numbered the men from the ship. But what was our skill to theirs, our dis— cipline to the machine ! (Jim was there in the spirit as he was telling me the story). _ For a few moments it looked as if Cowichin river was to run red, when Qualichin stepped forward. The light of the mad was in his eye. He held a Hudson Bay gun in his hand. Mowasa was nowhere to be seen. *I will go to the White Chief,‘ he said. "Hewalked slowly towardsGovernor Douglas. Half way he got, then quick s a flash he raised his weapon and pointed it at the Tyee. He pulled the trigger. The gun missed fire. * Governor Douglas made no sign. He was a brave man. But my father was as one who was mad. Treachery of the kind was unworthy the Cowi— chins. Better a year in the skookum house than that. * He ordered Qualichin to be seized in order that he might be bound and handed over to the ship‘s men. The White Chief stood by calmly. It was as if he was in the fort at Victoria under the protection of the guns of the Great Mother Qualichin was bound, and my father himself handed him over to the whites for trial. Treachery deserved death and Qualichin was hanged to a tree in front of the whole tribe. "The maidens went to comfort Mowasa. They found her in Quali— chin‘s tent with Quahchm s hunting knife in her heart. P EHARLIE—CI REUS USHER. By Graham Douglas. l O—O cireus w1thout peanuts pop— corn and chewing gum ! Pea— nuts, sir? Popcorn ? Chewmo gum ?" Over and over the strldent voice gave out its cry, growing huskier and huskier with each turn, till, finally dying down to a “hlsper the owner gave up the attempt in despair, and, leaning against one of the tent sup— ports, awalted the time when help or voice should come to him. The people streamed into the hot tent, defiling right and left according to their red or blue tickets ; the band blared out its discordant notes ; the blue unreserved gave themselves up to noisy criticism of the band and entering crowd. Above all, came the shouts of the perspiring ushers : " Here you are, sirl Two good seats here. This way for red tickets and reserved seats ! There was a lull at the far end and one of the red—coated ushers, a tall, fair—headed fellow, with square—set shoulders, came slowly along the aisle to meet the advancing people. * Here, Charlie, give us a call, will you? This blamed voice of mine‘s gone dead again. So Charlie, good—naturedly, raised a strong young voice in the cry of " No circus without peanuts, popcorn and chewing gum!" that caught the crowd‘s attention, and elicited a grate— ful ‘‘You‘re a good sort!" from the peanut man as he departed to fill the orders of the uplifted hands. It caught the attention, too, of an elderly gentle— man who was holding out red tickets to another usher at that moment. * Great voice that, for a cireus usher, eh, Mary?" he said, turning to his wife, as the man took the proffered tickets and started down the rope in search of three good seats. /hy, Gwen," to the glr] following, *‘ not faint already, are you ?

Take these people, please," slipped away in the crowd be— fore Gwen could protest. ‘‘ Well, Gwen," Mr. Armstrong‘s feelings were evidently pretty evenly divided between indignation and curi— osity, ‘‘is this the sort of place you usually look for your friends in ?" But Gwen was too excited to heed anything. "It‘s Charlie Givens," she explained as she was led off to her seat, ‘" and I must speak to him again." Then Mrs. Armstrong, seeing the in— tention of another raid in the girl‘s eyes, grasped her firmly by the arm. ©Not now, dear," she said kindly. * Come, sit down and tell us all about it, and your uncle will look him up for you afterwards." _ _So Gwen sat down and explained the matter rather incoherent * Last year—oh, don‘t you remem— ber, Aunt Mary?

Edited by Mrs. Willoughby Cummings. LOOKING AHEAD. HIS is the time of year when wo— men are looking ahead. Christ— mas brings great responsnbihties to maidens and mothe he young girl with her small wages, or her small allowance, must make up for this smalilness by the deftness of her hands and the ingenuity of her mind. She must plan and_ work. Pincushions, doilies, embroidered slippers and sus— penders have served their purpose; she must think of something new. The articles she made or bought last year must not be duplicated. To prevent sameness she must study the tastes of those whom she delights to honour. Some of her friends love fancy—work ; she makes it for them. Some of them prefer books ; she must select these carefully. _ Some prefer ornaments; she strives to secure some tasty and inexpensive novelty which will appeal to them. WOMAN‘ S SPHERE To the matron comes even greater responsihility, for she must consider her husband‘s social responsibility as well as her own. He will supply the cash ; she must perform the greater task of selection. To this she applies all her tact and resource. The chil— dren must get not only what will am— use them, but what will benefit them. She gently probes into their inmost minds to discover the great desire. Or if they are younger, she will invite them to write a letter to Santa Claus asking what they will. For weeks previous to Christmas she haunts the stores where novelties are displayed ; she studies the catalogues and adver— tisements ; she goes about at all times with her eyes and ears open for sug— gestions. And this task is a loving one if love is put into it. There should be no worry about it, though there often is. The maid or woman who repines be— cause she cannot purchase the quality of article which she desires to present to those whom she loves and admires is unjust to them and to herself. This is a form of ambition which must be held carefully in check. It ranks with extravagance in dress, is as unreason— able and as foolish. The woman who expends more on Christmas presents than she can afford is unfair to herself and to her friends. If a present means anything it is because of the love, the gratitude or the respect behind it. If it represents nothing but a full purse and an ostentatious mind, it must fail in its purpose. What are the articles we value most? Search a man‘s den, or the woman‘s favourite mantelpiece for that which is to him or to her the object of greatest veneration, and it may be only an old photograph, a pressed flower on a card, a small china figure, an oddity in bronze, or some peculiar piece of handi— craft, At an auction sale the object might not bring two cents. A new occupant of the room might throw it away as rubbish. But to him who knows, or to her who feels, it is a sac— red relic. It has a halo which none other may see. 183 $ Unfortunately, there are those, even in this favoured land, whose looking ahead is not of a pleasant character. It may have been an unfortunate year for the husband, and the financial out— look is dim. The hand of fate may have robbed the home—circle of its greatest joy ; some bright life may have been laid away beneath the weep— ing willows of the silent village or be— neath the sterile sands of an alien con— tinent. To those that have heavy hearts, the season cannot be all gaiety. But there is thus a greater responsi— bility on those whose homes are filled with thanksgiving. The latter must cheer the former with sympathy and kindliness. The poor, the penitent, the sorrow—stricken we have with us always. To those let our love and thoughts go out at this looking—ahead time, for inasmuch as you have remem— bered one of the least of these, you have sown one more seed of the eter— nal flower. % @ CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS. Many homes have no Christmas decorations, and this is really a great pity. _ In Toronto one may go down to the market and purchase a six—foot spruce Christmas tree for 35 cents. In the smaller town or village a Christ— mas tree is not so expensive. But every home should have one. Pres— ents arranged upon it come from it to the recipient with an additional flavour. Presents without a tree are like venison steaks without currant jelly—rather dry and tasteless. A few small flags and a half—dozen tinsel ornaments are a good investment. § A Christmas tree expresses in a tangible form the "Christmas" idea of the gift. Presents are often given and received. A Christmas day is like any other winter day. If there is no tree, no pine or holly decorations about the rooms and halls, no sprig of holly on the turkey and the plum pudding, then the day is not a Christmas day and the feast not a Christmas feast.

The Christmas tree, the holly, the special decorations—these make the sentiment. _ When the clock strikes the hour of midnight on Christ— mas Eve Old Santa Claus should carry a Christmas tree into every Canadian home, and proceed to decorate it. When the fated morning appears it will be a source of delight to childish eyes, a source of inspiration to the devout, and a memory—stirring thing of beauty to those of us who are on the farther side of life‘s course. The homes of Manitoba and the Northwest should this year have in a conspicuous place a sheaf of wheat. Christmas is a day of thanksgiving also, and the West, which has been blessed with a magnificent wheat har— vest, should offer thanks for the bounty vouchsafed to it. When the mysteries and the smug— gling of the month are over, and the Christmas gifts are revealed, let it be with mirth and gladness, and with all the exhibition of childish sentimentality which is possible. The staid, sober, reasonable Christmas conduct should be kept for the other fifty—two Sabbaths of the year. N. o CHRISTMAS BOX ON youU. I remember well, when a small child, how my cheery old grandmother would come around to the house on Christ— mas morning with her shawl covering a capacious and mysterious basket. And how we watched for her! She was seventy or more, and her skin wrinkled yellow on her face, but her eyes were as bright as ours. She would come in throuo'h the backyard so that we wouldn‘t see her too soon ; enter quietly by the rear, and cr ©©Christmas box on you all!" and then she declared that we each owed her a Christmas box. She didn‘t often get one, but by—and—by she would bring out her own little gifts and dis— tribute them. The dear old lady hadn‘t much to give us, but whether it was a tin horse or a cup— and. —saucer, it was given with a grace which would have become the donor of diamonds and pearls. Wlihine ces She and her bread—winner had come to Canada when it took six weeks to cross the Atlantic, had invaded Western Ontario when the train that ran a few miles near Albany was the only one on the continent, had hewn out a farm in the Huron tract, helped to lay the foundation of Canada‘s agricultural greatness, had not heard an opera, nor seen an electric street car, but oh ! the wealth of love and brightness in her eyes ! And having distributed her presents she would take off her bonnet and put on her best black—lace cap, and stay to dinner. Bless her, she knew how to play with boys and girls even if she were over seventy! Even now, when she is over ninety, and is a great— grandmother several times over, she is still cheery and bright, can play a game of checkers, spin a tin pan on the floor, or pick raisins from the mysteri— ous blue—flamed pan. — But I shall never forget the days when she broke in with her hearty «Christmas Box on You." @ HER MISSION. Perhaps it would not be out of place, at a time when woman‘s sphere is an object for much discussion, to quote Owen Meredith‘s lines on Lucile. They are, no doubt, familiar to many readers of this page, but the trite phrase, familiarity breeds contempt," has but a limited application, and may usually be disregarded. _ Lucile leaves Eugene, on the eve of a battle, with the words, "I go to my work ; you to yours," and the poet then moralizes : ......

The National Council of Women of Canada have undertaken a piece of work which will undoubtedly be of great value to workers of all kinds in Canada in the future. They are now establishing a " Bureau of Informa— tion,‘" which they hope to make as thorough and reliable as possible. The means by which this will be carried on in part will be by the appointment of a large number of honorary referees, both ladies and gentlemen, from whom b titude of subjects. as possible of all publications, reports and the like containing information such as may be sought for from the Bureau will be collected by the Cor— responding Secretary of the Council, to whom application for such information will be made. A large and representa— tive Committee of Members of the Na— tional Council, being the officers there— of and those ladies who were the com— pilers of the various departments of the Hand Book of Work of Women of Can— ada, which was published by the Domin— ion G listribution at the Paris, Glasgow and Buffalo Exposi— tions, will have the management of the Bureau. — Societies and individuals who become subscribers to the same will be entitled to obtain information without further charge a certain num— ber of times during each year. Other— wise a small fee will be charged to ap— plicants which, of course, will be 185 increased if the information desired should be of a nature to require much research. _ All associations and organ— izations are requested to co—operate by sending to the Secretary, Miss Teresa F. Wilson, 71 Brunswick Avenue, Toronto, copies of their reports. _ It is also intended to appoint honorary re— ferees in districts where no Local Coun— cils yet exist. Such a Bureau of in— formation has been carried on b women workers in England, with headquarters in London, and has proved to be of great value to very many workers and others interested in various endeavours. @ A society that does a very great deal of practical good with a minimum of machinery is the Needlework Guild of Canada, which ought indeed to have a branch in every place in the Do— minion: — The founder of this Guild is Lady Wolverton, in England, where many branches exist. So far only one branch has been formed in Canada, I understand, but this branch has more than justified its existence. The plan of work is this : a president and five vice—presidents are appointed. The president pays an annual fee of 50 cents, and the vice—presidents pay 25 cents annually towards the working expenses, and the object of the organi— zation is to provide warm new clothing for hospitals, homes and charitable institutions. Each president has to et five vice—presidents, and ten or more associates, and each vice—presi— dent has to get ten associates, and the duty of each is to provide two new garments annually in November, when the whole is sent through each vice— president to a place appointed for the distribution. this way, and with comparatively little trouble, no less than 132 new articles of warm clothing are secured as welcome gifts for the poor before the winter sets in. Any one desiring fuller information ol this excellent association may obtain it from Mrs. Alfred Hoskin, Deer Park, Ont. $ #, & GCURRENT EyvrENntTs ABROAD b_y John A.Ewan + HE municipal election in New York has been unquestionably one of the world—wide events of the past month. y a domestic matter of that kind should assume such import— ance may require explanation, but it is an explanation not far to seek. _ The world was not watching who would win the mayoralty contest there ; it was watching an experiment in dem— ocracy of an instructively elementary character and on an unusually large scale. Experiments in democracy are so frequently complicated with disturb— ing circumstances that we can seldom be sure what the factors are in the re— sults we attain. — The value of this New York election in giving us a hint of the ideals and tendencies of the many—headed Demos can scarcely be exaggerated. Seldom is it that an electorate has placed before it so clear— cut a choice between right and wrong. It is true that the gentleman for whom Tammany‘s votes were cast is a citizen of unexceptionable character and large ability, and it can only be regretted that he should have allowed his per— sonality to somewhat disturb the other— wise perfect simplicity of this political problem. That he disturbed it some— what may well be believed. Could we have substituted for this mgredient the pure essence of Tammanyism in the shape of Boss Croker himself we should have had a vote on the simple question : Are you in favour of good or evil ; corruption or honesty ? x) But even under the mask of a good citizen‘s high reputation the electorate discerned its enemy and struck him down for a time at least. — That grown men recorded their preference for Tammany, or rather for the candidate that Tammany support— ed, is not so disappointing when we remember the fetish of party, the respectability of the candidate and the identification of municipal reform in the minds of some people with vexa— tious purit'lnlcal restrictions. _ The great) point is, that a maJonty of the manhood of the greatest city in the western hemisphere and the second greatest city in the world has declared for decent government. _ It was the in— terest felt in it as a test of the tendency and fruits of universal suffrage that at— tracted the attention of people over half the globe. The fear is expressed that now as before the reforming zeal will exhaust itself in this supreme effort to strike down corruption in its various forms. The crooked politician never sleeps. _ With him preying on the body corporate is a calling. — Compared with his hunger for office the public‘s taste for decent government is fitful and weak. bi Perhaps one of the chief faults of de— mocratic communities is the begrudg— ing way in which they confer their rewards. The idea prevails that the man elected to office is under obliga— tion to those who choose him. If a strong, earnest, faithful, zealous man accepts a position at the hands of his fellow—citizens it is they who are under obligation to him, not vise verse. If he does his duty he fights their battles and defends their interests against the rapacious who are sure to be found wherever public funds are being ex— pended. For their sake he incurs the hatred of every species of harpy that haunts the corridors of city halls, leg— islatures and administrative offices— wherever, indeed, the public‘s business 186 CURRENT EVENTS ABROAD is being transacted. The elector, quite oblivious of all 187 NEAR SIGHTED this, regards the office as something to be handed round as a reward for popu— B wHkY SRITAH wméées. larity. If a Turgot were elected to the mayoralty of a city the electors would re— gard a proposition to give him more than the usual term as selfish or covetous on his part. The idea in | many quarters, in fact, is that it does not matter who is in public office, and the question is not how well has he performed his duties, but how long has he held it. —In 5 W 1 | Geonat U Ggoner Parkin EORG® ‘KoSTER G@EORGE DENISON 10 WiXRT SHE MUST HAVE Soort 2 ASteonegs HhLL no part of the world is this idea more prevalent than in the United States. So uni— versally is it accepted that a President shall not serve more than two terms that it may be regarded as almost part of the constitution. In that high office, involving as it does control of the army, there may be good grounds for giving no man the notion that he is a permanency, but the same reason does not apply to such an office as the mayoralty of a city, and yet when the constitution of Greater New York was fixed it was provided that the Mayor was not eligible for a second term. Great talents for the direction of public business are not so frequently found in men that constitutional bar— riers should be erected in order to pre— vent the people from retaining them when found. .

The city had been very badly administered and a strong hand was needed at the plough. Mr. Low accepted a nomin— ation and inflicted a memorable defeat on the rings that had the city in their grasp. His administration was emin— ently successful and Brooklyn has never been in quite such case since. Shortly after this it was felt that Columbia College, New York, needed just such a man as Mr. Low to guide its way. He not only gave his time and his splendid business talents to the upbuilding of the University, but also opened his purse to the great benefit of its endowments. When four 188 THE CANADIAN MAGAZINE safely forward to higher and safer ground." The picture which the writer draws of a quiet, unostentatious, con— scientious, fireside—keeping and yet fearless and deter— culture, and the sobriety that often comes of them, may yet do for public life in the United States. w] One of the most marked features of international re— lations in Europe just now is the wave of anti—British feeling that is sweeping over Germany as evidenced by the utterances of the press. ON THE TAIL OF HIS COAT Kixc EpwarD : years ago the first election for the mayoralty of Greater New York was held he was chosen by the reformers to lead the fight for cleaner govern— ment. He was beaten then, but it is characteristic of the man that he tried again and succeeded. A writer in the Criterion, who has evidently known Mr. Low since boyhood, endeavours to furnish an answer to the question as to what has given Mr. Low such a hold upon his _ fellow—citizens, and his answer is that it is because of his general soundness and unvarying sanity. " For many years," this writer says, Mr. Low has been under most severe tests, in the very fiercest and whitest light, and has always shown himself sane, well—balanced, whole— some, possessed of and by common sense—most uncommon of all senses. n have come to feel that he has the power to bring things to pass ; that he is a safe and consistent leader, never attempting the impos— sible, never massacring his followers in a forlorn hope, but with line intact at every point, moving steadily and * Hi, there ! Get off my cape !" —The Minneapolis Journal. Seldom, indeed, is such ven— om displayed by one coun— try towards another at a eriod when peace exists between them. The Em— peror, on the other hand, ever since his famous telegram to Pre— sident Kruger, has been exceeding— ly friendly. He has given indubit— able proof that he regards himself as one of the circle of the British royal family. They and he have more than once within the past few months been mutually stricken by the sorrows that perhaps strengthen friendship even more than mutual joys. This attitude appears to have had no influence on the German people, and when it is remem— bered how cynically Prince Bismarck inspired the press of the Fatherland dur— ing his Chancellorship one can only wonder how the attitude of the Em— peror and that of the press can be re— conciled. 3 What does the popular hostility in Germany arise from? Some will tell you that it is sympathy with the Boer, who is almost a brother. Is he much nearer a relation than the Englishman himself? _ It is not likely that the Boer war is the real excitant of the feeling. There is a shrewd notion that the anti— pathy has its origin in commercial CURRENT EVENTS ABROAD rivalry. Ever since the close of the Franco—German war the victorious country has set itself to achieve a great place for itself as a commer— cial power, and it has really made remarkable progress'. It has deliberately chosen the direct antithesis of the British trade policy. Her tat luded that the first condition of the growth of industrialism was that in its adolescence, at least, it should be protected from the rude rivalry of out— siders, and in some cases even assisted by bounties. Under _ these stimulants great apparent progress was made. Germany became, along with the United States, the observed of all observ— ers in the family of commer— cial nations. — Her growing trade statistics were discus— sed on every hand. Her bounties, espe— cially those on sugar, disorganized the sugar—refining mdustry in Great Britain and reduced the British West Indies to penury. _ The British Chancellor of the Exchequer was implored to do something, to retaliate, to save the in— dustries of his country from asphyxia— tion. The reply from both Liberal and Conservative Chancellors alike was that the people of the United Kingdom would be foolish to object to Germany giving them sugar below the cost of production. — Time has shown that the British sugar—refiners did not wholly die out of the land and all the manufactur— ers who use sugar largely, the candy— makers, jam—makers, biscuit—makers, etc., flourished greatly, and sent their goods to the continent to compete with their rivals who had to pay domestic prices for their raw material. s Well, after all the horn—blowing about the growth and efflorescence of German industry there has recently been some cries of distress. Things are not going on as rapidly as they # Jouxn }‘LLL : it‘s a habit !‘ " Blow me ! This isn‘t a game any longer ; —The Chicago Record—Herald. were a few years ago. Works are closing down, workmen are walking about idle, and there is a great cry for enlarged and more profitable markets. On the other hand, Britain whose trade they had undisguisedly set out secure is in the midst of consnderable industrial prosperity. Notwithstanc — ing that she is in the midst of a mos costly war, to meet the expenses ol which the highest taxation which has been known for years is imposed, the records of trade show an encouraging state of affairs. If you will just im— agine two men setting out in life, each professing a code of conduct the exact reverse of the other and consider how A who had failed would feel toward B who had succeeded, you will have some glimpse of the sudden rage against Great Britain that has swept over the German Empire. The Boer war is only an excuse for it. Its real seat is dis— appointed commercial rivalry. The German should wait. The stagnation in business may be merely temporary. Such checks occur to all countries, a intervals more or less defined, no mat— ter what their fiscal policy may be, PEOPLEmtArrAn@ HE sweet—faced, five—year—old maiden standing penitently before her offended mother exclaims : ! so hard to be good." The world stand- ing before the record tHE sEason of its 1gor Christmas seasons must echo : * It is so hard to be good." Will it be the same cry in 2go1? Must the world ever suffer the weariness of the treadmill in its endeavour to be good ? The millennium of peace, virtue and righteousness seems to be still distant. The world appears to be a place of eternal and ceaseless trial. It is difficult to refrain from being pessimistic and yet perhaps it would be wrong to submit to a dark view. If an account is being kept, our com— placency in the face of evil will no doubt be placed in the debit column with all the other debits due to selfish— ness and ignorance; while in the credit column is placed the triumphs of our disinterestedness, our virtue, our sacrifice, our nobillty and our fear— lessness. Each man is struggling for himself and those he loves. As is his struggle so is his reward and theirs. If he desire only this world for him— self and them, he and they will be so rewarded. _ If he desire for them an intellectual, self—sacrificing and virtu— ous life, he and they will be rewarded with a consciousness of a nobility of life here and a surety of a nobility of life in the future existence. If he pre— fer the perishing dollars, the glittering tinsel, the vanishing sensuahty of life to the cultivation of morahty patience, unselfishness, forbearance and gener— osity, he has his reward in the present rather than the future. It is not what one is, but what one aims to be ; it is not what one has but what one desires that proclaims the inner man The real importance of Christmas Day lies in the power which it has had in centralizing the influences which surround each generation of indi— viduals. The world may be getting better very slowly, but each generation may win immortality only by struggling against the almost inevitable evil. The generation which lies down in sloth and ease will be destroyed here and hereafter; that which fights on and on, knowing that the resisting is right and the yielding wrong, will win the glories which Christmas Day signifies. xC The Man of Galilee has certainly been a power in the world. He has been the embodimentof morality, right— eousness and religion. Nearly all good men who have since lived have taken Him as their model. But, after all, His influence has not been suﬂ‘c1ent to uproot many evils. Canadian churches still persist in re— fusing to pay the State for the protection given to their property, for the sewers, the sidewalks, the police, the firemen, and the other advantages. _ Jarvis St. Baptist Church, Toronto, is, so far as the writer is aware, the only exception in Canada. The trustees of that church pay $800 in voluntary taxes each year.

As is the church, so is the church member. _ When he finds the church does not love its neighbour as itself, he feels justified in oppressing his 1g90 PEOPLE AND AFFATIRS neighbour. When he finds the church is intolerant of opposition, fond of passino glory, eager to amass wealth, anxious to be a great power in society, willing to compromise with the world if it be profitable—he practises the same virtues. . In all things temporal and spiritual, the church standards are the standards of the church member. For the lukewarmness of the members, the D. D.‘s and bishops are responsible. Their selfishness has prevented the church attaining ideal unselfishness. So with the rulers of the country. Too often they desire to rule rather than to reform. It is easier. It is The cold rewards of virtue are not to be compared with the lusciousness of inaction.

Complac- ency is an easily—acquired virtue which 1900 Christmas Days have failed to completely unmask. The immoral stage and the immoral gaming house are still in our midst and there will be more of them after Christmas Day, 1901, than there were after Christmas Day, 1900. The num— ber of them is increasing steadily.

It is no lonoer permissible for a gentle— man to lean up against a bar and ex— change confidences over a series of drinks The saloon with tables and chairs, where the odour of privacy and home restricts the excess and the roughness of the joviality, is becoming more popular. _ With the assistance of the church it would soon be the rule rather than the exception—but the church continues to ask for prohibition because it is easier to ask than to act. If a broader view be taken, Christ— mas Day has not abolished war. As selﬁshness still exists in the individual intolerant whether monarchy, civilized or uncivilized, and the result is war. And not military war only, but tariff wars equally de— structive of human life and happiness. Christmas Day has not abolished slavery. The black man still suffers from his manacles, though they have been lined with the leather of nominal freedom. The working man still suf— fers from long hours of labour, poor pay, 1mmobiht), sluggishness and ig— norance. The peasant is still the peasant ; royalty is still royalty ; aris— tocracy is still aristocracy ; the cardin— al at Rome wears a golden shoe—buckle and the Archbishop of Canterbury has a flower—garden which annually costs a fortune to maintain. Yet in spite of all our faults, there is a steady resistance to evil. Indi— viduals and societies are continually protesting against license and unchari— ableness. — The influence of Christmas Day is always with us. As already stated, if it does not bring the millen— nium on earth, it brings the millennium to a great number of individuals both here and hereafter. Its influence can be estimated only by using the im— agination to discover what the world might have been without it NY Canadian literature has lost a friend in the passing away of Walter E. H 192 THE CANADIAN MAGAZLINE Massey of Toronto. He was not a litterateur, although he A LOST _ wrote a very fine series of FRIEND. _ letters to his employees on the occasion of his trip around the world. _ But he had a keen sense of the value of good literature, and an appreciation of the relation be— tween literature and art on the one hand, and national development on the other. In January, 1896, he founded Massey‘s Magazine to give Canadian readers a popular hterar) and artistic magazine at a nominal price. For ewhteen months he persisted in his at— tempt to interest Canadians in a ten— cent magazine, and spared neither money nor effort. He gave up the periodical and allowed it to be amal— gamated with Tus Canapran Maca— zINE only when convinced that he had engaged in a hopeless task. The peo— ple would not buy a Canadian periodi— cal in preference to United States peri— odicals in sufficient quantity to guar— antee the ultimate success of his undertaking. He had honestly tried and honestly failed. He retired with the hope that the day would come when Canadians would be less short— sighted, and afterwards wished Ts CanapIan MaGazZINE every success in the work which he so heartily ap— proved. Leaving literature to others he took up different reforms. He gave his time and money to the establishment of sanitariums for those suffering from tuberculosis, and in a dozen dif— ferent ways endeavoured to use for the good of the people the wealth and op— portunity that had been given him. Mr. Massey was a man, and may have had the weaknesses of men. He may have loved power, large organiza— tions, and the homage which comes to the aggressive prince of industry. Yet his 1nﬂuence was always for The educational work of the Methodist Church and Victoria College appealed to him, and he supported ‘it liberally with his time and his wealth. He did not do this to gain a reputation as a social and religious reformer, but sim— ply in order that no one should say he had not done his part. _ He was proud of his family name, and desired that its lustre should not be dimmed be— cause of any lack in him. € A young man came to me not long ago and asked me to recommend a course of history reading for his winter evenings. _ He READING HISTORY. _ was a university graduate, and yet felt that his college and his univer— sity had given him everything but what he most wanted—an intimate know— ledge of his own country. _ He knew all about the history and growth of Great Britain and the United States, was familiar with Xenophon, Hannibal, Caesar, Charlemagne and Napoleon. The map of Europe was an open book, but of Canada be knew very little. Canadian history is not taught in the public schools, is not taught in the High Schools, and is not studied at the universities. _ Who is the lecturer on Canadian history at McGill, at Queen‘s, at Toronto, at Dalhousie? Ever heard the names of these distin— guished gentlemen ? They do not exist. The lecturer on chemistry, on pyscho— logy, on economics, on physics, the professor of history, of literature, of French, of German—all these are known to the public, but there is no man in Canada noted for his lectures on Canadian history. The books recommended to this enquiring young man who desired to know more of his country‘s history— and a wiser man might have made a better selection—were : Dent‘s "His— tory of the Upper Canada Rebellion," 2 vols.; Dent‘s "Canada —Since the Union," 2 vols.; and Pope‘s " Life of Sir John Macdonald," 2 vols. Here are three magnificent works which give a continuous view of the political development of Canada during the nineteenth century. John A. Cooper. AMONG THE CHRISTMAS BOOKS. ’[‘HE Christmas book season has be— come about as notable a feature in Canada as elsewhere. Special edi— tions are now brought out for Canadian readers ; our publishers go to no end of trouble in providing books with a Canadian application or interest, and there is produced in our own cities an array of volumes that leave no import— ant taste out of consideration. Cover designs, quite equal to those of Lon— don or New York, are now done here, and it is well known to the Christmas bookbuyer that Canadian editions form a large proportion of the volumes on the counters. There is also a distinct— ly larger demand for prettily bound books, almost editions de luxe. This applies to works by standard authors as well as ephemeral literature. But perbaps the most distinctive phase of the Christmas book season is the vari— ety—fiction, biography, poetry, travel, annuals, booklets, all have their admir— ers, and the giver of presents has little difficulty in selecting if he knows the taste of the person who is to receive the present. Books are a great factor in our lives to—day, they are almost a part of Christmas cheer. SPECIALLY ILLUSTRATED. The purchaser of modern books, in order to get full value from their pur— chases, should know something of artists and their work. Artists, such as Heming, Keller, Clinedinst, Christy, Clark and Copping, receive from $50 to $150 for each drawing. Then each plate will cost from $10 to $40. _ It will thus be seen that publishers are nowa— days spending a great deal of money to make their works attractive. ‘""Amos Judd " and * The Right of Way" are illustrated by A. I. Keller, whose work is worthy of a study. "The Ruling Passion," by Vandyke, is embellished with coloured illustrations from the brush of W. Appleton Clark. " The Cavalier," by Cable, and "‘Wanted : 19 A Match—maker," by Ford, the latter being a new edition, are illustrated by Howard Chandler Christy, whose wo— men rival Gibson‘s in their majestic bearing. Christy works only in oil yet gets somewhat the same value as Gibson does in pen and—ink. Ha— rold Copping‘s illustrations for * The Young Barbarians" are excellent stud— ies of boy life and are full of action and feeling. " The Outcasts," by Fraser, is well illustrated by Arthur Heming, the Canadian whose animal studies have won him high honour across the border. _‘ The Road to Frontenac" is embellished with the work of Blumen— schein who has done justice to the heroic Indians and cavaliers of the French Regime in Canada. "Kim " is uniquely illustrated from plaster model— lings by Kipling‘s father. Coburn‘s illustrations for ""Johnny Courteau," Dr. Drummond‘s new volume, are magnificent, and it is pleasant to know that this Canadian has no superior in the art of book—illustration. Clined— inst‘s numerous pen—and—ink etchings and <full—page wash—drawings for "David Harum" make this volume one to be prized. " Bird—Life," with its sixty full—page coloured plates, is in different style, but yet noteworthy. FOR THE YOUNG. Children are too often furnished with trashy books, and too often un— questioned about what they read. Two grave faults these, which careful parents should endeavour to avoid. Andrew Lang‘s fairy books are ex— cellent. So are Clara Dillingham Pierson‘s, *‘ Among the Pond People" being very attractive. Henty‘s three new books : To Herat and Cabul," * With Roberts to Pretoria," and "" At the Point of a Bayonet," are unim— peachable. The latter is a story of the British conquest of India ; in fact, all three deal with British campaigns. "Kim" is about a boy, but the style a BJ | 194 THE CANADIAN MAGAZINE is above the ordinary youth. TIan Maclaren‘s new story (* The Young Barbarians "* is for both boys and grown-ups, as the following passage from the first chapter will indicate "It did not matter that we were fed, by uu(,lul p(ntnls, with books eonlannng the history od men who began life with 28. ll(l. .in(l died leaving a quarter of a million, made by selling soft goods an(l at— tending church, and \\llll other books relating pathetic anecdotes of boys who died young and, before they died, delighted society with obscnut:ons of the most edifying character on the shortness of life.

It was but right that McGuffie, jr., otherwise known as Speug, should be the hero and cham— pion of the young barbarians at the Seminary.

Li/erature rates it equal to the best of his many pictures of French Canadian life, and speaks approvingly of its " wealth of colour." The Daily Chronicle is more critical but eulo— gistic of the " curt, vivid and graphic" manner in which the dramatic episodes are handled. The Daily Telegraph finds it unconvincing in that the temperament of the hero hardly justifies the "inevitable tragedy." The Speaker labels it ‘"rather melodramatic" but ‘‘written with some intellec— tual vigour and placed in a charming setting."

Twenty thousand soldiers hunted for him in vain. These he refused to kill if they came near him, and only once was he reluctantly compelled to kill a gendarme in self—defence. Thieving and thieves he abhorred, and he and his companions not only observed the rights of property themselves, but drove every thief out of the mountainous district through which they roamed.

The * Dictionary of Political Econ— omy," edited by Palgrave, gives the credit to Michael Bakounin, a Russian artillery officer who became disgusted DURING ANARCHISM. to study philosophy at Moscow. In 1847 he went to Paris, but was soon expelled from France. In 1849 he was concerned in the insurrection in Dresden, Germany, and condermned to life imprisonment. He was handed over to the Russian authorities and after eight years sent to Siberia. He escaped to Japan, and visited America and Great Britain, finally domiciling himself in Switzerland. At the Peace Congress held at Geneva in 1867, he advocated the abolition of centralized states, and the substitution of volun— tary federations of independent com— munes. He died in 1876. The same authority credits the first use of the term an archie to Joseph Proudhon, a French printer, in his pamphlet "Qu‘est—ce que la propriété." Proudhon called himself an anarchist, but disclaimed any faith in chaos. He was really a mutualist, and by en archie he meant the highest and most perfect form of social organization.

The factory is run by a 250 h.p. engine, with dynamo attached, and the Company make their own electric light for the works and offices. . They have their own railway sidings, and every modern convenience for receiving and shipping goods. All loading platforms are roofed over The office building, standing in front of the works, is an imposing piece of architec— ture, the inside being finished in mahogany, and fitted throuOhout with the most approved conveniences. Rooms above the offices comprise a kitchen for preparing meals for the employes, where the food is cooked by electricity, and other rooms are fitted up as dining halls. The factory is open by appointment at certain hours for visitors, and every visitor will be amply repaid for the trouble of in— spection. . Sunlight Soap Works is really one of the sights of Toronto. In an interview with the President of the Company, the writer endeavoured to trace some reasons for the very rapid development SHIPPING SHEDS of Sunlight Soap. Within fifteen years ol the first manufacture of this Soap, it has risen to the position of having a larger sale than any other three soaps combined. It employs more workpeople in its manufac— ture than any other soap in the world. It has a larger capital invested in it than any. other soap in the world, and the Canadian works of Lever Brothers, Limited, show that they have certamly come to Canada to stay. The writer‘s impressions after the inter— view were, that the officials themselves otl Lever Brothers, Limited, have certainly a strong faith in Sunlight Soap. — They adver-. tise the soap as bemg of a very high stan— dard of merit, and they claim that there is no advertisement ever published by Lever Brothers, Limited, that they do not live up to. Whatever the cost of raw materials, they never adulterate. The whole secret is in publicity and keeping faith with the public. A little booklet handed to us by the Pre— sident of the Company is reproduced at the end of this article, and it is well worth read— ng. ‘ Surely this one notable instance of Cana— dian industry is —evidence that Canada is Awake, and the enterprise of a Company of such world—wide experience as Lever Broth— ers, Limited, will assuredly be followed byl other manufacturers.

Dodd‘s Dyspepsia Tablets insure the erring one against the after effects of his indiscreet eating.—There can be no Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Sour Stomach, Heartburn, Biliousness or Distress, if Dodd‘s Dyspepsia Tablets are used—you may feast without fear if _ you are careful to use one or two of these Dainty Digestive Tablets after each feeding.
