Since when did Liberal leaders become recognized authorities upon national questions? Is is not a fact that in almost every case they took the wrong side of every national question? Were they right when they proposed commercial union with the United States? 7 Were they right when the advocated unrestrictedReeiprociy? - '���������:������������������������������������������������������-J. Were they right when they opposed the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway? Were they right when they tried to force through Parliament the Reciprocity Pact of 1911? If they were right, the people were wrong and if the people were wrong in any jof these cases they are unrepentant still. The heart of the Liberal Party is sound but that party has been led badly on every great occasion. The leaders appeared to have a genius for getting in wrong on great national issues,, and there is a touch if impudence in their suggestion now that on a matter of national and imperial consequence their views should prevail. They were not able to carry out an unpopular policy even when they were in power, and they are less likely to be able now to .carry out a similarly unpopular policy when they are in opposition. LIBERALS THROW ANOTHER BOOMERANG. Scented Graft In Contract for Patent Locks for Mail Bags Hon. L.,P. Pelletier, Postmaster-General was the object of the last "boomerang" charge from the Opposition: ' That. Mr. Pelletier had contracted with the Ontario Equipment Company of Ottawa, for 350,- 000 patent mail bag locks;-:at one dollar each. That the price was excessive. ' y That the company was composed of Mr. Pelletier's friends. That the contract should have been let by tender, ���������������������������y-'^.y 7 ������������������^ V, :.;.. That the supply of locks contracted for was enormously in excess of tne needs of the Depart* ment. In short that there w������tr~st bi^graft. : This question was raised in the House by Hon. Rodolphe Lemieux, ex-postmaster-General. Mr. Lemieux went as far as he dared in the House, and the charge was amplified ^and extended v as above by the Liberal party newspapers. Tiie Truth About It. Mr. Pelletier has given the House the exact facts of the case as shown by the records of the Department, bearing the names of the highest permanent officials of the postal service, men of known capacity and integrity. First of all, the pftntrftct * The* contract was entered into on October 26 #f last year. It binds the contractor to supply the locks as required at the price set in the contract, one dollar each for lock and key. It does not bind the Department to take any stipulated number of locks. - , This contract, drawn on the usual form of the Post Office Department, is for a period of four years, the usual period., What OircnmsUnces Were. Mr. Pelletier read to the House statements from R. M. Coulter, the Deputy Postmaster-General, Hecor B. Verret, the Assistant Deputy, aud Sidney Smith, Controller of Postal Stores, giving the circumstances of the lock transaction, These circumstances were: The patent under which the lock formerly used for the mail bags was manufactured, had expired. The old lock was then in a condition described by the efforts of the Department as so defective that it "could be opened by other means than the key, and he contents of the bag thus got at and letters and valuables exracted." Never Did It Otherwise. For obvious reasons the policy of the Department has been to change the lock every fifteen or eighteen years. A new lock was tested, found to be satisfactory, and the contract awarded. It was let without tender for the reason that the artiele is a patented one. Says Mr. Smith: "The Post Office lock has never been put up to competitive tender, because being covered by patent rights the Department was not at liberty By Our Special Correspondent, Arthur R. Ford V ���������f Commons Ottawa, April 14.���������/The week which has just closed at Ottawa is an historic one, bringing to the Canadian Parliament the power to deal with a minority that attempts to usurp to itself the functions of the majority. The Liberal party has been balked in its attempt to defeat what is plainly the will of the people.as embodied in the naval proposals of Premier Borden and the people of Canada will approve the course the Government took in stopping their mad course. The present rules of the House of were intended to apply to'.fair and reasonable men. But they are totally inadequate when a class of men in the House like Hon. William Pugsley, F. B. Carvell and their like who this session - have been straining every'effort'to hold up all Government business, all to advance their own ends. The Government gave them every opportunity, they persisted, and the closure has ,b\en applied. It is riot the navy bill alone that justifies the Government in its action, though that would have been sufficient. Closure is equally necessary for the future. The Opposition that has obstructed this session might obstruct any other session arid might obstruct in the same way on any other question. Estimates or any other item of business would serve the ends of the Liberal tongue wag^ gers. The length to which Parliamentary sessions have been extended in recent years lias become a situation calling for remedy. With the power of, limiting debate to adequate dimension there will be shorter sessions and more busines accomplished. It is no great constitutional struggle that has begun oyer -the closure resolution, as Liberal newspapers would have the country believe. It is no infringement on free speech or free debate,: no attempt to "gag" representatives of the people. It is a simple provision that has been adopted in far more rigorous form in every other coun- . .try in the world, arid that has the. commendation of half a dozen ex-ministers who were associates of Sir Wilfrid Laurier n power, not to menton the leading newspaper supporters of the Liberal -. party*;.7^--;.v;,:,....7..-.r',.,: ..;S*. ...;iM..,w...x.,,;.. A measure whieh Hon. Mr. Aylesworth, Hon. Mr. Murphy and Hon. Mr. Fisher have all endorsed is surely not an infringement on Canadian liberty. And these ministers of Sir Wilfrid said in 1911 that if they were returned to power in the election of that year they would bring in closure. It is the irony of the situation that they never had the chance, but that it is being brought . in against them by the very men upon whom they Hoped to exercise it. The whine the.Liberals have set up comes with rather bad grace considering their past policy. There can be no legitimate criticism of the Government's action! That a group of men led by Hon. William Pugsley should have the power to hold up all public business and attempt to force an election purely to meet their own ends is intolerable.; There was but one course open to the Government, that was to curb the obstructionists and the Government has done it with vigor. The closure bill, which has been introduced by Premier Borden to prevent a continuance of the parliamentary anarchy which the stuhhorness of the Liberals have brought about, has been drafted with remarkable care and wisdom. It protects free speech and gives ample opportunity for all reasonable debate and yet prevents a minority of the members from degrading parliament and making the House of Commons a laughing stock as has been done in the present ease. The purpose of closure is to secure to the majority of the people'8 representatives the power to carry on the business of the country, for which they are responsible to the people themselves. The rules which have been proposed are far more moderate and not nearly as drastic as those in force in the British House. They are also not as drastic as those which are used in the American House of Representatives. Every representative assembly in the civilized world has been compelled in the course of time to protect itself by closure rules in one form or another and probably none are as moderate or protect free speech as the present proposals. It is doubtful if rules have been introduced in any country under more commanding and more to call for tenders, besides which the calling for __, ���������__--��������� ��������� tenders would lead to a publicity and knowledge^ provocative circumstances than those which have of the internal mechanism of the lock amongst lock makers and lock dealers, which is not per- missable in the case of a lock intended to secure the safety of mails." (Continued on Page 4) dictated the steps now proposed by the government. It is in the highest degree creditable to Rt. Hon. R. L. Borden and his colleagues that under the circumstances they have brought down measures so eminently fair and even generous to the Opposition, and have shown so strong a desire to preserve intact to the utmost possible extent the liberties of the representatives of the people of all shades of party opinion. ���������The first change in the rule provides that motions of a more or less formal character shall not be debatable and therefore eanot be used for the purpose of obstruction. The second amendment provides merely that after the debate upon the question under consideration has been adjourned in the House administer of the eVown may give notice tHar such motion or proceeding shall not be adjourned beyond the next sitting. If the House decided favorably oii the motion then the debate can last for the remainder of that day and until two o'clock the following morning, or until the close of the speech of the member who may be speaking at two o-clock. Under the English rules any member may at any time move the closing of the debate On any subject. This may be done even when another member is in the middle of a speech. The motion that tbe debate close must be immediately put to a vote, without any discussion whatever. The third amendment proposed by the Government provides that on Thursdays and Fridays tiie House shall go into comniittee of supply without debate. It is also provided, however, that the estimates of each department must first be taken up on some other day so that any mem per desiring . to challenge the administration of the department in any respect will havefull opportunity-tp do so {^Outside of the closure excitement the main interest during .the past week has centred in the passing of the Japanese Treaty.

J^mier that the Japanese Government would immediate-, ly upon the ratification of the treaty state its adherence to the agreement made in 1908. This has already been done and the Premier on Friday read a statement to this effect from the Imperial Government of Japan.' The principal speech from the Government benches was made by H. H. Stevens, member for Vancouver, who very lucidly placed tbe^ position of British Columbia before the House arid went into the history of the whole subject, dealing with it from an industrial standpoint. Speaking of the national standpoint Mr. Stevens said: "We have in Canada a population of^ less than 8,000,000 people. It is recogwzed that climatic conditions in the prairie provinces and eastern Canada offer a fairly; good protection against a large influx of Asiatics. While this is not a complete protection, it is fairly good protection. But on ihe Pacific coast, we have a climate that is particularly attractive to the majority of Asiatics. There we have less than 325,000 of a white population. In the Orient facing us daily, there are over 800,000,000, Asiatics. A large number of these Asiatics have a very jealous eye upon the Pacific coast of America. I know from actual personal information that from India over 100,000 Hindus were prepared to come to: Canada when the move started in 1907, and whieh we were fortunate enough to have stopped. To-day three Hindus.are on their way to the Colonial Office in London for the purpose of endeavoring to have the British Government over-ride the Canadian authorities and insist that the Hindu shall be allowed to come into British Columbia nnd Canada. There are 100,000 ready to come. I could give to this House some of the reasons why we do not want them, and 1 shall go into these reasons at greater length upon another occasion, but I can say briefly, that the traditions, the education, the caste system in vogue in India, the moral principles of the people, are sueh that we dare not admit the Hindus into Canada in very large numbers or else the national standard of our country will be so lowered that Canada, in a few years, will not be the recognized country that we expect it to be. "The racial and social side of the question is a very serious one. In Canada we cannot afford to permit three hundred thousand, people to be placed at the mercy of some eight hundred million (Continued on Page 8) THE KITSILANO RESERVE 00MTR0V1B8T. "It would apear that at the present moment, our* Member at Ottawa for Burrard, and the Attorney General for British Columbia have somewhat "locked horns" on the nature and result of the , Kitsilano deal. Mr. H. H. Stevens, M.P., waa busy, as- the people's representative at the Dominion Capital, striving to secure the Reserve for the people. In the meantime the Attorney-General manages to secure this property, either for private parties or for the Province. , If for private parties we must wait and learn the facts; but if for the Province, then the dis-^ pute resolves itself into the advantage or disadvantage of the Province owning the Reserve instead of the Dominion. Which would be the better ownership? WbV would be the better administrators of this large and valuable realty? Dominion or Province I One must be sure of the facts before taking aides, but if there be a right and a wrong, then we should speak out our minds fearlessly on the matter. This we shall do at a later time. . "v However, in the meantime it may be possible, for the public aims of Mr. Stevens and of the Honourable Attorney-General to harmonize, and run on parallel lines to the advantage of Vancouver British Columbia and the whole Dominion. In general terms it is safe to affirm that, all things being equal, the general good should be sought first, and the individual, or community good receive secondary consideration. But this can be dealt with later when all the- facts, are in possession of the public. It is said that a large Yankee Railway corporation had nearly got a grip on the Reservation, arid that Mr. Bowser saved ihe situation by stepping in at the crueial momen. However, fitun tiie past, the Railways seem to have had good pasturage ih Vancouver and naturally are scouring around 4er anything in sight. The public shall be able to watch; on the outside,perhaps; out' watching is a positive duty in relation to this atid some other matters. OLD BRITADX &TOL HI THE RUr-TOWO.

HPU AND A WAB BETWEEN JENGLAND "^p-t1* 9*9 9af**j*9mrW**j9m^*w+y *9 ��������� At the first sure omens of a war of this sort, Britain would do well to shift 200,000 Indian troops within striking distance of tbe enemy. They could be moved by swift merchantmen over to the ancient land of Goshen, and held in readiness to be used where tbey would be of the most effective aid in the cause of the whole Empire. In addition to their immense value within striking distance of Italy, in case the war took on the nature of the Triple Alliance against the Triple Entente, they would be within ready reach of Tripoli, which should belong to Britain in any case. I mean the eity, port, bay and immediate sea-coast of Tripoli. Furthermore, these splendid soldiers, as loyal to Britain as are the German soldiers' to the Kaiser, would be ready to reach East Africa, now under the flag of Germany, as well as German West Africa. Towards the south of the Red Sea.lies the land of Eritrea which belongs to Italy, which valuable coast-line could be taken in a few days by a few third rate British cruisers. In any case the presence of even 100,000 trained loyal Hindoos, ready to fall upon the enemies of Britain wherever they could do the best service, would have a mighty moral effect, and especially upon Italy, one of Germany's allies. During the"Boer war England would not make use of the troops of India, but in this -she made a serious mistake. Perhaps in a gigantic European war she would not repeat this blunder.

The reservoir itself is 1 mile 1,190 yards in length and ita maximum depth is 40 feet. The action of a strong wind on the vast expense of water may well be imagined, but ample precautions against such a possibility have been taken in the shape J of a huge breakwater built across tb* centre. This reservxoir will be filled from the northern end with water pumped from the River ]Lea. This water will be stored in the reservoir/ for a considerable Ume, during which purification processes of great value will take place hy the agency of natural forces, and after thia the water will flow through regulating towers into a tnnneli and then along a channel nearly two miles in length of the existing distributing basin adjoining the Chingford Mill Pumping Statlo. The total quantity of water stored in tbe work* of the Metropolitan Water Board is no less than 13,000,000,000 gallos, and. the dally supply to the district cater for by. the Board is 244,- 000,000 gallons. Probably the moat wonderful feature of the new reservoir Is the pumping station at the north end, contain ing the marvellous Humphrey explosion pumps. Within 60 seconds, I2e,- 000 gallons are pumped Into the reservoir. Each succeeding minute a similar huge balance of water will pass through tbe pumps, the total lifting capacity of which is 180,000,000 gal ions a day. There are five in all, four capable of delivering 40,000,000 gallons a day, and one smaller one .with a lifting capacity of 20,000,000. The capacity of these pumps is far be yond anything the world has ever known. In fact the pumping plant is unique in water works construction, for the Humphrey pumps the action of the internal combustion cylinder is di rectly applied to the raising of water ���������a revolutionary, process in this branch of engineering.

The pumps can be stopped and started instantaneously by merely controlling a switch in the electric ignition circuit, so that it is possible to have all five pumps at rest at one moment and yet all working at full load half a minute later. i ��������� For Sale Eggs.

A Parisian Novelty.���������In Europe it is used this year as a little Easter present, or rather a niai-k of courtesie to friends and relatives. Its value as a token lies more in the novel idea than in the price of the article. It is arranged so that it can be sent, just like a post card, for a cent or two, to any place in Canada or the Unied States. The endeariu-* idea about it is the embedded LUMINOUS CROSS, .which will shine all night long (or in any dark room) in a GLORIOUS, MYSTIC BLUE LIGHT, after you had it exposed to daylight for a few minutes. The price is so low that anyona is enabled to be convinced of its real nautre. It is indeed an article whieh is held in high esteem by any Christian family or person. The Shining Cross is made of a stone, whieh is found only near Jerusalem, and of which already the Bible speaks of as the LUMINOUS STONE in picturing Solomon's temple.

Why? The answer 1s given by Colonel Seely, Secretary of State for War. In tbe House of Commons the other day he made a highly important stately ment on the British aerial fleet, in the course of which he remarked: "If any one tries to find out what foreign nations are doing about aviation he will immediately find himself confronted with a blank wall. We have alao endeavored to prevent other people from finding out what we have been doing, and In thjis we have received assistance���������which I take this opportunity of acknowledging���������from the whole press ('of the United Kingdom, who have refrained from publishing matters of great importance which obviously had better be kept secret in the Interests j-of the state. We have now an understanding that information of real value to the Btate shall not leak out by unauthorized communications to the [press. That haa added* to the obscurity which haa prevailed." What Britain has really accomplish* led Is worth telling. Hear the War 'Secretary's summary: "The progress has been rapid. Today, excluding the navy, which has made provision with regard to hydro* planes and in other respects, the total strength of the Royal Plying Corps is 126 officers and 620 men. A year ago we had twelve flying officers. I come now to material, and It is on this point that most misapprehension, I think, has existed.

Over a measured course in a series of four tests this biplane averaged 91.4 miles an hour, flying backwards and forwards, with and against the wind. It maintained at times a speed in still air of 100 miles an hour. "These are very remarkable achievements.

The Postmaster-General also answered the charge as published in the Liberal press, that the contract had been given to his friends. He said: "I may say that I do not know personally any of the directors of that company, that I do not know the manager except for having met him once, perhap8 twice, but I am sure of having met him once in my office in the presence of my officers, when he wanted to get $1.10 for this contract and when I discussed the matter with him. That ia the only time I met the gentleman, I have never spoken to him before or since. That is the friend to whom these newspapers allude." . No NumbeiyPtxed. The idea that the Department was contracting for 350,000 of these new locks arose in this way, as explained by a memorandum sighed by Hector B. Verret, Assistant Deputy Postmaster-General: . "At page 6,441 of the Hansard of March 19th, 1913, Mr. Lemieux asked how many new locks had been bought for mall bags. Mr. Pelletier answered: 350,000.

I advised Mr. Bowser fully of my efforts and intentions and regret \-*eyond expression that he has taken such a drastic course.

I discussed the matter with the Deputy Ministers and the Controller of postal Stores, who were of the same opinion. ^ ��������� - . Jn the meantime a lock had been patented under number 143,823. We found that this lock would be perfectly safe for the mails, and nfter. many experiments before the Postmaster* General, be came to the ooncjuston th|t the lock should be accepted, provided the priee waa the same aa that paid for the old one. All the old locks had to be replaced according to the terms of the contract, which reads as follows:'; ���������The contractor, will substitute a "new lock for an old lock as fast as "the same can be ' manufactured, "which new lock is patented under "No. 142,823," His Estimate After having studied the files and seen the number bf locks in use, which I found was about 120,000, I came to the conclusion that my estimate of 300.000 to 860,000 was (a Uttle) too high, but no one can determine in advance how many new locks will be required during the period of four years,, according, to 4be growth of the country and the requests for the opening of post offices. According to tbe contract no locks can be purchased from the company unless an order le given by tbe Controller of Postal Stores, who has been ln the service forty-three years, and I will not myself authorise any. purchase unless recommended by him. When I gave you such answer I had In mind the Parcel Post System, which will no doubt call for a very considerable number of bags of large sise, each of which must be fitted with One of these locks. The Increase in the quantity of locks required will thus be abnormal and it la not only probable but certain that a very large quantity will be required during the next four years for this purpose alone." was a commencement.

The Postmaster-General declared that the price fixed for this good lock was the same as the price paid for the old defective lock, which price was fixed by Mr. Lemieux while In office. This Mr. Lemieux solemnly denied. Mr. Pelletier thereupon produced a memorandum of tbe Post Office Department, dated October 15, 1907, signed by the Controller, and addressed to Mr. Laschlnger, the then Assistant Deputy, fixing the' price to be paid for the old lock at one dollar. Complete Answer. ' That Is the answer to the mail bag lock "scandal." Summed up it is this: That (he contract was entered Into on the advice of the expert officials of the Department who -declared that a new lock was necessary for the safety of the malls, the contract la in the ordinary form of the Department, that it does not call for any more locks than the Department reulres from time to time, that such locks could not be purchased by tender, that the price is the same as fixed by the late Postmaster-General In 1907 for the old lock, that the company was not composed of Mr. Pelletier's friends, that there was no graft The only man who does not emerge unhurt from this attempt to besmirch the administration of the Post Office Department, is Hon.

The hard, tightly-plaited leather lash curled round his slim , supple body, he quivered from head to foot ���������nd uttered a aharp astonished cry.

Hla unavailing struggles snd protestations soon ceased, and not much beyond a lew groan now and again escaped him. Presently Felix gave him another salutary shake, similar to a terrier's luaty frantic movement with a rat and whirled him around, j His eye-glasses were off, swinging to and fro like a pendulum, and the Squire's energy had burst the stud- holes In his collar and shirt, exposing Ida dark; firm young throat Felix looked Into his, white agonised face, Into the wide strained eyes swimming In tears, beautiful, patient mournful, and pure as the eyes of a gaxelle, and then hla whip arm dropped to his, side.

"Felix," she said, pulling at the door, "you know there are night and morning frosts now. If he lies there in this bitter wind It will kill him!" "And society will be rid of an arrant rascal! Sit down, Agnes, and let's have no more of lt. In trying to emulate your friends you make yourself out worse than Judith and Mrs. Wycherly together.

"J am ashamed," be said at last, see- lug there was no prospect of her speaking, "utterly ashamed that a sis- ' ter of mine should have so little self- respect, be so lost to all sense of right and wrong, so devoid of all chaste, pure, womanly instincts.

'���������>. ��������� All trace of anger had. left Jjls voice, be spoke with a grieved emotion that "melted her throbbing heart, and she burst Into a woman's passion of tears. "How many times have you met him tbere before to-night?" he asked. "Only once before, Felix," ahe said, between her sobs, "only once, a long time ago." "Why did you meet him this evening?" "He asked me; he told me in the Hargraves' conservatory that he wanted to tell me about Mrs. Wycherly, how she had managed to trap,him Into making her an offer."

I've helpless, broken-hearted fashion; "you will be sorry you did this one day." ."So Farley told me," he answered, smiling a little. She drifted her eyea and looked at him, lolling with his back against the door. The steel blue light in his eyes, the determined set of the firm, square jew, the compressed lips, and above all the Irritating cynical smile were decided signs of unflinching obduracy, and It began to dawn on her that all pleadings, prayers, tears, and supplications would be In vain, mere puny, feathery taps upon a steep, rock-like wall of adamant. She sank down in the basket-chair, moaning and strengthless, overcome witb a terrible feeling of hopeless, helpless despair, and gazed at her powerful-opponent transformed from a happy, easy-going, even-tempered, good fellow into a man of flint. For aU he apparently cared about ber, or Paul's, or any outBide suffering he might -just as well have been hewn out of a solid block of granite. r,pellx," she said, changing her tactics.

Farley's affairs neither concern me nor my household. I should have Some supper and get to bed if I were you; Agnes, and forget my worries In sleep. Most young bloods have sufficient gumption to take care of themselves, and there's not much fear but that Fai ley has cut his eye-teeth, delicate, highly-strung, sensitive, boy? By Jove! I wouldn't like to be In your grip, with your whip hand over me."' '��������� "I thrashed him, my dear sir, and, what's more, if he crosses my path again I'll break every bone:: in his body; I'll thrash him within ah Inch o*. his life." "In the name of fortune, what has he done? Murdered your best friende, or massacred everyone In the neighborhood?" "I've no wish to make the cause public; I'm not at all proud of the motive which prompted the castiga- tion, but perhaps Agnes Is not quite so squeamish. I'll leave the explanation to her," he said, walking to the door and holding It open. "You bave no objection, have you, Felix, to my going to see if Farley ls there? I'm hunting for him on my own account.' "Not in the least" he said, with a fine show of indifference.

He put them ln his waistcoat pocket and looked carefully round for a trace of the owner. Presently bis travelling eyes halted at a long dark object near the hedge, and with a smothered exclamation he strode across and knelt down by Paul Farley's side.. "Hello, my lad!" he said, unscrewing the flask, "can you get up? You've been lying here pretty nearly half an hour.".

C. iMiniHtii uiimnnimummmiiiuntiifini "Indeed!" he said, looking Into tbe fire very seriously, "and Felix thought such condign punishment might help to cure him of further presumption?" "He was very angry, ln a fearful rage. I don't know what he has- threatened us with. I know he feels aa It I had disgraced him and all our ancestors for generations back. Wbat do you think of our behavior, Or. Hunter?" "I think it was a very natural proceeding on Mr. Farley's part to offer you kisses, and on yours to accept { them, If you are both of the same sentiment and shade of opinion. Why should Fells object to a match between young people?" t "Now, that's a rock I'm afraid you'll strike against and go to pieces on," j she said, with a ghost of a smile, moving her chair a trifle closer to his and putting a hand on hla knee. "There'a no question of sentiment, love, engage-j ment, or marriage between ua; we like j each other immensely, we are good; friends and comrades; nothing more, I and never will be. Mr. Farley would toll you tho same If you aaked him." "Why did you meet him in the sum* mer-house?" he aaked, smiling. | "Why,, because fie la tn a fearful muddle," ahe.aald eagerly. "A certain' lady ln the neighborhood says he haa proposed to her, and he saya he haa. not, and doesn't want to be bothered) with any of the women In the plaos.' Hla chief aim and object ln lite now. la to get free of her, so he thought be would tell the tale to me before he mentioned it to Felix, because he aald, sometimes a woman's wit la keener and sharper than a man's." "Well, and you were ao kind and sympathetic that he took! you in hla arms and kissed you, la that it?" "Tea, he did that," ahe acknowledged, looking down, a little contuaed, "but IJbadn't helped him much because Felix arrived before he had commenced hla tragic story." To her aatohtahed; delight he leaned, back In hia chair and gave vent to a spontaneous burst of laughter. "A "Poor fellow, poor Farley," said the' doctor, wiping his eyes; "and dear old Felix didn't see the humorous side of the situation?" "No; don't you see, Mr. Farley haa told Felix ever so many times he did not mean to marry, and haa talked against marriage and all that, ao Fella thought we were deceiving him; that Mr. Farley waa making secret love to me, and all the time he did not mean anything." "80 there ia absolutely nothing between you young people, except the ktaalng-���������how do yon account for that?" he aaked, looking steadily Into her large truthful eyea. *I cant account for It," Agnes aald, meeting the look without flinching, without, the qplver ot an eyelid. *3 wiah I could; at any rate 111 try. It waa like thia: Mr. Farley came np hers after a good dinner, all warm, comfortable, and happy, and I met him after a long, cold Journey. Mr feet were numb and my fingers froien, and ho took my bande in tils warm opes and tried to get some circulation Into tbem. Felix waa close by In tbe stables, and we were both excited hr the feeling tbat he might come upon ua at any moment; excited hr a sons������ of danger, bf a secret lonely meeting at night wltb the moon shining and the freah wind blowing through the crackling leaves about ua; and suddenls turning silly and bold, I aald he grew better looking every day; and being impulsive, easily moved, and flattered, be caught mein hla arms and kissed me���������and���������; Dr. Hunter, 1 wouldn't mind taking my oath that he never meant an Atom ot harm, or that there waa a single wrong thought In bit head, any more than if lt bad been Felix himself. Can you understand��������� do you believe me?" "I tblnk you have been moat explicit; you have put the matter quite clearly: and aptly, Mlas Agnes, and I have no hesitation whatever in believing and accepting your explanation." ''Felix wouldn't/' she said, the tears coming Into her eyea. "I daresay not, but there'a a whole world of difference between ua. Felix la your brother, and I, Agnes, your ���������lover!" "Then you don't mind about Mr. Farley?" "Not a bit," be said, taking the little nervous hand fluttering on hla knee Into a warm, safe, substantial clasp; j "he's leti your heart for me to try and win, and tbe rest, my dear, don't count." I "You are very kind," she said, nervously, trying to laugh. ! "Am 1?" be asked pleasantly. "1 wonder whether you'll be kind to me, and, ln spite of my being an old fogey, try to like me?" I "I do like you," she sala wiih unmistakable earnestness. I "Enough to marry me?" he whisper* I ed, bending towards her, his heart beating like a girl's. I "Yes, quite," she aald, sliding to her knees beside him. "I would like to marry you. I am almost sure that lj love you." I He opened his arms, and she crept; close to him and laid her face against j bia neck. I "I am old enough to be your father," > he said, rubbing his chin on her soft; "All the better," she said, laughing. "I want somebody old enough to take proper care of me; Felix said I could- j n't take care of myself." j "Felix hasn't been very polite of late." | "Yes, he has. until this evening. 1 never saw him so enraged before, and; the extraordinary part is, he professed and seemed to be so attached to Mr. j Farley." "So he is, dariing. Nothing much escapes the professional eye, and I know he is mad, simply mad on Farley He wouldn't have cut up rough likej this lf the affection had not been; deeply rooted and his heart very much engaged. You Bee, Agnes, If Felix looks upon this affair in the light you say he does, it must have been a blow to him to discover that the two people he loves best ln the world were conspiring together to deceive him. 1 know our Felix; I know his heart and conscience are as tender as a woman's, but just now be feels like a man who has been wounded ln the. house of his friends." ! . "Yes, and the worst ot it ls hell persist in thinking ao," she said wearily. j "No. he won't." he aald, cbeerfaUv ' "I'll eee him before I go, and put matters as plain and as straight as I can. By the way, A^nfes, what do you think he will say to this May and December, engagement?" ' "I won't marry you if I hear you say again you are old, or make disrespectful allusions to your age," she said, with a charming pout. "It's too ab-i surd; you look younger than Felix. You looked fresh and rosy, and quite! boyish when you came In to-night^ and Felix looked old and crc6S and horrid." "So that's how you flattered Far-, ley?" he asked, looking askant at her.j "Of course I may take a leaf out ,of; his book and reward you for the deli- i cate compliment?" I "Oh, no," she said, laughing and col* orlng; "that's different; I���������he Is only a silly-boy, Dr. Hunter" "My name is Jack/' he said gravely; "but perhaps you didn't know," and bending suddenly he kissed her on tbe lips. She blushed scarlet and looked so abashed that he felt almost Inclined! to apologise. But Instead he buttoned hla coat and fidgetted round the room until she had In some degree, recovered from her bashful surprise. "Agnes," he said, putting hla arm around her. "have you any choice about the ring?" J'Not any, 'she said, looking Into the flre; "I shall be satisfied with whatever you choose." "Have you any-, choice 'about the courting; would you rather not be kissed?" ; She looked up Into his love-lit eyes, and saw tdere the devotion of bia heart in all its depth and grandeur. The effect was as a lightning touch; she ' saw heaven in a glance. The sweet Idolatry enslaved her, and raising her arms swiftly ahe clasped them around his neck, draw hia head down to hers, and kissed him. "That's my answer," she whispered, glad smiles and truant tears chasing, each other in her eyea. "I love you, yon understand, Jack; I love you." He saw the love In ita budding beauty; he felt the magic of its smile; his heart shouted with Joyous victory, and he breathed an Inward thanksgiving for his happy, hallowed lot, aa he went softly out from the dim oK parlor and sought J'ellx ln the keeping-room. The Squire waa seated in a roomy leather chair, his feet on the steel rim of the stove, his pipe ln hla mouth, reading. "I expect you thought I was gone." he aald. addreesing the back of Felix's head, "but I've been waiting for my trap to come back; I sent Farley horns In tt.." There waa no answer. Doctor Htn> ter thought the book muat be a very interesting and engrossing one, as Felix, waa not partu-nlarly fond ol reading any printed matter, save ths dally organs of newa; consequently . the idea occurred to him that Fella might possibly have caught up tht book at random on hearing hie ap proach to avoid discussing a disagree able topic. "Look bere, Felix," be aald. golni around the chair and laying a not very gentle-hand on his shoulder, "Just paj attention to me for a minute. I wanl to talk to you about Farley. Hard lea sons and rough discipline are all very well In theory, but you bad no right no business, to thrash that boy at you have. There waa nd rhyme oi reaado In it." . "Indeed!" be said, closing tbe book "who says so?" "I do. I say so. What hiB back and shoulders are like, I don't profess tc know, but the parts exposed, one sid������ of his neck, one cheek, and hand, art seamed with livid wales almost as big as my little finger; they stand up ilk* whipcord. From one ear, the lobe ol the right ear, yo������ have drawn blood and the neckband of his shirt seemed Jagged and torn to shreds, it's the most cruel, tbe most cowardly, piece ot work I've met witb In the whole course of my professional experience.' Felix took the pipe from bis mouth pitched the book on the table, ant? rose. "I don't intend to be bullied and in suited in my own house, Hunter," he said, towering on tbe hearthrug, "sc you will desist or go." "I don't mean to quarrel witb you. Fleming." he said firmly, "that won't answer my purpose, but I certain!} shall speak my mind as a surgeon It relation to his patient. I found Far ley unconscious; I had some trouble to bring him round, and my honesi opinion ls that he is seriously hurt I am positive a few more such blow* would have ended his career for gooc and all In tbis sphere. What did yor do it for?" he asked, as he saw Fei wince. "To teach him to leave a respectable woman alone." "You need not have troubled to dc that, my dear boy; you might have left that job to me. I am the right person to chastise the lad if he requirei it." "How do you make that out?" Feli> asked, his nostrils swelling. "1 hac my sister's interests to protect." "And I my future wife's Interests.' "Since when have ydu become en gaged to Agnes?" "Since I found Farley. You don'i object, Felix?" "Has Agnes given you the historj of this unpleasant fracas?" "Every detail; I am thoroughly con veraant witb the facts,, both great and small." "Apparently you don't see any ban. in the escapade?" "Not I, Felix, it'B too paltry," he said earnestly. "The burdens of lir< are neither few nor light. There art real ills enough without trying to bre\i some for ourselves out of passing trivialities. I come in contact wltfc too much sorrow and trouble to ear* to make much of the petty plagues o; life. My work in the midst of sick ness, penury, and toil, has taught m< a certain kind of philosophy. Oui journey through life has to be made whether it be fair weather or foul, anc a wise traveller will take courage from his many comforts, and carry his sunshine with him." "Of course," Felix said, knocking the ashes from his pipe and refilling it "your engagement to Agnes alters the complexion of affairs, and quashes an; scurrilous chatter. I have nothing further to say on the subject, except to offer you my congratulations." "Thank you," he said quietly.

A mere tremor of immigration from. Asiatic countries into Canada would very soon swallow up the .-character and traits of the people of British Columbia, and sooner or later of the whole of Canada." Speaking of the industrial side, li������_said: " Another side of this question, which is very important, is the industrial side. I wish to point out these facts in order to prove .my statement that we must be careful of Asiatic immigration from an%indust rial standpoint. When 1 first went to llritisli Columbia twenty years ago, our sawmills were manned almost entirely by* white men. About fifteen years ago the mill owners com- .menced to engage Chinese in connection with that work. -They used the Chinese in the common work, such as piling lumber in the yards and so on. With what result? Very soon they found that the supply of labor for more skilled classes of work was becoming less. Why? . Because the young fellows, who originally had been drafted from the families of the white men who piled the lumber, and who usually went in to attend some machine in the sawmill, were not there. They had been replaced by the single Chinese outside. This went on until they found they had to put the Chinese onto the planers, the strippers and the finer machines, with the result that very soon they found the supply of white labor for these machines becoming depleted. They then had to train the Chinese to do the skilled work, until in the last few years our mills in British Columbia are manned almost entirely by Chinese, and later on by Japanese as well. What I want to emphasize is this, that by cutting off this man with his family who was doing the common work, you cut off the supply of labor for the finer jobs, because these men in the mills are trained-from one position to the other. It is not very high class labor, but it is labor which requires a certain amount of training. Some people say. that you cannot do without Chinese, as you must have domestic serv- aot8.'- The supply of white domestic servants has been cut off. I know the ck "i tic servant problem has become acute here as well as in British Columbia. This is one thing that contributes to the scarcity. -The daughters of these white men were the girls who supplied our homes with domestic servants. 'You have not got them now, simply^ because the lowest class of work in one particular industry has been supplied by Chinese, and later on by Japanese. A few years ago, we had nine or ten thousand white fishermen on our coasts. To-day we have only about 500. The rest are Chinese or Japanese, who work in our canneries. The canneries will tell you that they cannot get white men to work for them: On the eastern coast, those who go to cure the fish are largely the members of the families of the fishermen. If you have single men, Chinese or Japanese, manyxof whom come to British Columbia for the fishing season, doing the fishing, you have cut off the white fishermen with their families, and you have also cut off the supply of labor for the. cannery to cure the fish, with the natural result that they have to secure Chinese for the canneries. By the policy of admitting in years gone by a large number of Asiatics, we have cut off the lower class of labor, the common laborer, with the result that the suply of white labor has-been cut off in many other lines, forcing employers to hire Chinese and Japanese and now the Hindu for those various, lines of work. I contend that the problem that has been given to this Government by the policy of the late Government is one which it will take^ many years to solve. It is impossible to get a white man to go in and work with a kit' of Chinese. He will not do it, because the. sentiment, style of living and every other element that go to maks up the common everyday life are so entirely different that no white man will engage in competition with-a Chinaman. The result is that you hav������i this friction n Brtish Columbia, particularly accentuated in that province in the industrial line, against the Asiatics."

The religion of Christ is a mystery which subsists by its own. force, and proceeds from a mind whicjh is not a human mind. We find in it a ���������larked individuality, which originated a train of words an dactions unknown before.

From then till now that Jesus has expanded His Kingdom of Love .immeasurably beyond the confines of the lands reached by the Gospel in the days of Napoleon.

Try A VWtfT INTERESTING DEBATE. Two weeks jago the following proposition was debated in the L. O. L., by the following four young Orangemen: W. *J. McClintock, C. T. Weir, Hugh Morrow and Robert Kenmure. The proposition debated is: "Are Cliques and Office-seekers helpful to any organisation or community!" JThis is in effect the purport of the subject argued pro and eon. The first two named gentlemen argued against the usefulness of cliques and office-seekers, while the, other two favored and tried to show that such people in an organization or in a community were and are of the Wgh.est\value;,:;-.'y'''y-:.-'-;'''.^- .The decision of the Lodge favored the argu-- ments used to show that Cliquers and Office-grabbers are a curse, a sort of common monstrosity, a wart, a scab, a canker, a mould, and represent the debasing element of greed, selfishness, the love of power, and self-worship. The young men who had the other-side, and argued for the usefulness of the above warts and society-cankers, though they had a very difficult proposition, advanced a lot of clever arguments and nearly proved that "black is white."
