She hoped Helen would not Rive her to any one brilliant ami Btrenuoua tonight, who would bother lier by frying lo make an impression. She didn't want to he i impressed. In a measure she blamed Impressionism for her engagement to Dean, Ho was a royal comrade, clever and responsive, but not too clever or too responsive. Tliere was a difference. Looking back on the joyous days ol' the month, she decided that it had been this element of chumship, of mindful affinity, which had been responsible for the whole tiling, As a comrade Dean was splendid, but ns a lover in the role of prospective husband to be wedded to for life she had suddenly discovered that lie was exacting—most exacting. Any man who wns engaged to a girl and positively forbade any other man falling in love witii her was exacting. Moreover, it was foolish, because, really, it wus in the abstract a compliment to his own good taste, She could not help Jack Stowell telling her that he loved her. Of course he loved her. He Had told her so on an average of twice a month for over a year. And he was a dear, dear boy.

"There must be a leader, you know, and Cupid's law I.s ladies first" "Ah, but they nre only rose chains, Dean." The gray curls were shaken at him rebuklngly. "And they break so easily, once married, they are rose chains still, but some wise fate has slipped links of steel beneath the petals." "And If we break them now"— Dean paused. "'J'hen there are omy scattered roses in the dust and Cupid weeping aad Rosemary- for remcml ranee. .May it never come to you." She smiled at both young faces. "Memory is dear, but not when ull It brings tu mind are the broken rose chains." Tliere was a momentary hush. Tlio sweetly modulated old voice had carried to the far ends of the table, and all were listening, Uosemniy's gaze rested on her plate, She dared uot meet Dean's eyes. The hush passed, and there was the low, light babel of voices again, She heard him speaking to her and h"Id her breath to listen. "Isn't she au old darling i» sny that?" "She doesn't knew they are already broken." lie con:,I hardly catch the half whisper. "But are they? Only last night, and no one knows, an.l it was all a mistake."

A CASE OF LUCK. Ilotr Uie I.nck of a Nickel Won u <;<>,u! Paying Porition. Little Mrs. Tyler sighed as the trolley ear whizzed past her. "To think," she mused, "that I should have come to this—too poor to spend C cents for car furol If I could only get more music scholars! Then Bob could have tho beefsteak and the fruit he needs—dear, patient Robert!" Time was when Frederics Focbnor's piano playing had won her many 11 no- cial triumph, but that was before she had married the penniless Robert Tyler, to begin life anew across the continent. Now that lie wa.s sick tliey had only the pittance ber pupils brought her. , Today Mrs. Tyler was vory tired. No wonder she had sighed when the ear had glided past her. ami home was a mile away. Strains of Handel's "Harmonious Blacksmith" drew her Inside a music store. Musi,' always rested her. A girl was playing upon a grand piano, and several pers ms stood about, Mrs. Tyler strolled their way. One after another to iii a turn at the Instrument The newcomer wus too interested in the playing to question wherefore. Filially a man approached her. "lt is your turn next," he said. She was about to explain his nils- take when the humor of the situated appealed to her. and she was Seined wilh a desire to carry out the joke. Accordingly she took her sent and began Paderewski's "Love Song." she did not know for what she wns playing. but she vaguely felt that it was n test of some sort, and she threw her soul into her lingers. When she ended there wns a little burst of applause, and "something else" was culled for. She responded with Liszt's "Schubert's Serenade" uud then with Chopin's "Cradle Song." A sheet of music was placed before her, and a lady came forward to sing. If tliere was one thing In which Mrs. Tyler excelled It was in accompaniments, and now she did her best. The face of the mnu who bad invited her to play wa.s one broad smile as lie inquired deferentially: "May I ask whom we have had the honor of hearing? You huve distunced them all, my denr uiudum. The place is easily yours." Mrs. Tyler looked at blm in bewilderment: then she laughed and explained. He explained too. She had unwittingly taken part in a trial of applicants for the double position of accompanist for a singing master aud piano player for the music shop. A salary was named that left the little woman nearly dumb with I surprise, so amply it litted her present ! needs. She wanted to dance all the wny home. Fatigue was forgot I en. "I'm glad you didn't ride," remarked Robert Tyler whimsically.

The Nelson News says Laurier last week captured Toronto, Funny that lie should decline the Grit nomination ill South Toronto. If the Liberals are the trueoham- pions of workingmen, how is it the toilers are nominating candidates to oppose their nominees.' Liberals lioust, iheir economy in administering the affairs of the country, yet it is a fact that the per capita debt of Canada is twice that of the United States. Since tlu* Liberals assumed government control at Ottawa, public expenditures have increased 838,000,000 n year and the annual taxation enlarged 122,000,000. The Grand Trunk Pacific will add nt least $150,000,000 to the national debl, and this to benefit a private company, if Canada can afford to build that road for private gfin, she can afford to build and operate it for public benefit and profit. Kootenay Grits strained their nerves last week by worrying over the whereabouts of Chas. Mackintosh, the Tory candidate. Theii1 nervousness increased when they learned lie had been for .several days quietly but effectually pipsecuting bis campaign in the north end of the district. American producers send $150,000,- ooo worth of goods into Canada a year. Why do not the Liberals enunciate ii policy* that will encourage -Canadian industry to supply the Canadian market? Conservative policy is to encourage and protect home manufactories, not to fatten foreign capitalists. Lilierals bave ever been opportunists. Onee it was unrestricted reciprocity with the L'nited Slabs for them; then ii was free trade; then a preferential tariff; and now vide Premier Laurier's speech al Sorel it is a re-arrauging,«f the tariff in order to protect home industries, Consort Btives, on thr other hand, for the pnsl 20 years, have stood stedfnst on the platform of the National Policy- a straight policy of protection with no fringes. Alexander Mackenzie years ago wanted a national highway built and operated by and for the people, and Iiis Liberal friends turned him down. Minister Blair recently wanted lii- Liberal confreres to build and operate tho Grand Trunk Pacific for the pen plo. ami In-, t w;is turned down, Rather than counted nice a compnuj getting the road, Blair resigned from the cabinet, and St. .lohn was lost to the Liberals, Government ownership is not one of the principles of Lib. ml faith. Notwithstanding the columns of editorial twaddle in the Nelson News ol Sunday Inst, Tin. Dbill persists iu its "enthusiasm" and reiterates the as s.'i'tion that it is the settled purpose of the Conservatives, if elected, to build a national mad and operate il for tbe p.nple. All public speakers of the party are enuueiating that poi icy. ami Hon. Mr. Borden's statement to Sir Hibberl Tupper confirms thul belief. Por the New. to •.,.,.;. t,, deny it is to simply distorl the truth. At no time have Conservatives uvor stated they would build the roatl for can pany exploitation, Their policy is clearly and emphatically for govern menl ownership and operation, In another column will bo found the Conservative polici on Iherailwnj question, ns onuncii led by tlie part,; leader, Hon. R, I.. Bord in. Thai policyistobuilda Iran ilinental line In public monies and i i. It in the interests and for the benefit of the people. Building operations shall commence on each section so soon as the surveys are completed. Contrast that clear-cut policy with the makeshift affair of tho Liberals. They purpose building a road with public monies and turning il: over to a private company, who will operate lie line nol to benefit the public but to enrich lli.ir shareholders. Nor do the Liberals purpose building at both terminii simultaneously.but only whore it nmy suit them* Where will British Columbia profit by that arrangement?
