The door opened softly. Somebody
move her hand from her eyes
Mother said an eager voice,
"Mother Raynor."
Who could call her mother? Surely,
every voice that had right to address
her by that name was hushed in death.
The next instant pair OF arms were
about her, and young lips were kissing
her faded ones. Mother, my true
mother, it is /. Ruth Hunter. Speak to
me-"
After the first shock of Joy was over.
Mrs. Raynor asked Ruth how she
learned of her misfortune. 1t was
easily explained. Mention OF the fact
that the county had taken charge OF
Mrs Raynor was made in one of the
newspape RS. A copy Of the paper con-
tanning this paragraph was wrapped
around an express package and sent
to the town in Missouri where Ruth
lived, and by accident fell into her
hands. After reading it she started at
once TO find her former benefactress.
and never rested until she reached the
ssifnsiouse.
"And now, mother" she said, 'you
are going with me to live, for am mar
ried and have a happy home in which
you snail be loved and cared for as long
as you live. owe every thing Of good
that has ever come to me to your kind
ness in the past and / am grateful for a

Mrs. Raynos Jay quite still, too full of
gratitude and Joy TO speak.
"And this is New Years morning." "
said Ruth: Let me kiss you again for
Happy New Year"

In once more. How sweetly they sound

haustible fertility and well watered,
and at the Same time easily worked, be-
ing prepared by nature for the plow, you
may rcasonablyexp 70 find farming q
profitable occupation and the farmers in
sucha country making more than bare
living. Agriculture in such country Is
like mining simply taking gold from
the soil in the shape OF the finer grades
OF wheat and other cereals, and it pos
sesses the great advantage over mining
that the amount Of actual work neces-
sary to make it pay is comparatively
very small.
Upon the great fertile prairies of West
ern Canada, where millions Of acres OF
the richest land in the world are COM
prised within the Provinces of Mani
itoha, Assiniboia, Alberta, etc, settlers,
old and new, have simply taken gold
from the ground in the shape Of mag
nificent crops fo- the season Of 1890.
Their gold rs golden grain but 1t
yields as sure returns as any metal ever
mined. The writer visited farm after
farm in Manitoba the past season
where the yield of wheat averaged from
80 TO Ss bushels per acre, and where
oats yielded frequently rs bushels per
acre Of choice grain. Upon one farm OF
l,s0O acres, the crop of wheat and oats
was close to 10000 bushels, and of this
the first lot Of 30, 900 bushels OF wheat
was sold for SIC and soc per bushel.
Close beside this large farm was small
one from which the owner had taken
his first crop. He had started with no
capital the year before, yet his crop Of
wheat was 1000 bushels and the quality
was SO good that he got Soc per bushel
for it, one cent bushel more than his
wealthy neighbor which meant Just
$3.50 for his first season in wheat alone.
With climate peculiarly adapted to
grain growing, and population repre-
senting nearly every nation, Western
Canada offers to the settler most
favorable chance to succeed among
friends or fellow countrymen OF his own.
