How Pierce got through the crowd he
never knew. Outside they were stopped by

She took the tiny, quaintly-dressed child
10 her heart, and cried over it quietly, while,
for the first and last time in his life, Pierce
Penfold tainted away.
Inside the circus all was confusion; the
people would have the scene explained, so
old Lee, fine-looking old man. came 10 the
front and gave his own version Of the affair,
which was that il was al part OF the per-
Torrance, a dramatic situation TO interes.
the public in the clever little actress, etc.
But the old man looked anxious when lie
left the ring and found his daughter raying
like madwoman at the loss OF her child.
After this Alison fretted herself into q
fever, and her old father griey,d over her
rs over the most dutiiul and yirtuous daugl-
ter the world contained.
Thanks 10 his nursing, she came back TO
life, different woman though, broken in
health and spirit, with hut ghos. OF her
old superb beauty.
Pierce lost no time in returning to En-
gland and taking possession of the Cover
estates; but poor faithful Jem did not re-
turn with them.
At the last moment he wrote to say he
had gone with his relatives, the Lees to
tend the horses.
Pierce sighed, and said:
Poor Jem, he may as we'll sell his soul to
the devil as to follow that freely OF a wo.
man in hope of any reward Well, I'll send
him handsome cheque, he dc eryes it for
faithful service 10 me-
For once Pierce reasoned wrongly. After
years OF deep loving devotion Old Lee died,
leaving Alison 10 Jtm's care, ana she, feel
ing lonely took pity on the faithful fellow
and married him.
She made him better wife than many a
more yirtuous woman; and, when sturdy
children were born 10 her, loved her nus
band. and helped TO make the circus a great
er success than ever.
Years have passed, and ii is Christmas
again. and the world is white about Castle
Cover, b autiful place OF the summit of q
wooded hill.
Inside the grand old house all is mirtll
and reyelry; stately lady stands, the cen.
ter Of a rosy group Of beautiful children, her
handsome husband leaning over her, and by
her side q slight darls-eyed maiden who calls
her mother with as true affection as hei
brothers and sisters.
Pierce Penfold kissed his wife under a
bough Of misiletoe, and tells his guests,
among whom Dr.. and Mrs. Steel are the
most Eouored, that Dorothy is priceless
treasure that he once Found IN A SNOW

RUSHING FOR THELAND.

One Of the chief explanations of the
increasing popularity OF the Northwest
of this continent for farming operations
is the diversity of country which it
offers. Nature has so fashioned it that
every branch of farming in the temper
ate zone has been provided with IA
locality. And the extent OF country
adapted to agriculture is revelation
to those who not many years ago
thought that Minnesota was the boun-
Diary of agricultural land and that
wheat-growing was doubtful even in
Minnesota. Beyond Minnesota, across
the boundary, the Canadian territories
of Manitoba, Assiniboia, Alberta and
Saskatchewan are claiming pre-emi-
hence in wheat, in cattle raising. and in
mixed farming Manitoba this year has
outstripped the rest Of the world in the
quantity and quality of her harvest
Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1892-01-22

Assiniboia, though more sparsely set
tied, makes IA proportonately good
showing. and Alberta is not only i'm
creasing the number and quality of the
beeves shipped to Europe, but is import
ing young steers from the East To- be
fattened on the rich grasses of the
country, which ripen early and remain
juicy and sustaining throughout the
moderate winter of those plateaux.
Now new and extensive area has been
thrown open to homesteading. Two
railways have been recently opened
into the Saskatchewan country, and
those who have been farming in tho
neighborhood of the old iludson's Bay
post claim, and apparently with some
justice, that their country surpasses
even Manitoba and eastern Assiniboia,
that it is the garden of The North
west. 1t is n wonder that
Eastern Canadians are selling out TO
take advantage of the free land to be
obtained in these rich districts. The
investigating parties shat have been
sent TO sTy ont the land have re-
ported so favorably upon it, that tho
desire Ia obtain homestead in tho
Western Canadian Provinces Is spread
ing far beyond the limits of Canada it
self. There are number of delegates
in the West preparing the way for com
panies of intending immigrants who
will move in the spring, and IL is be-
coming more and more evident that

eyelashes, and then his big, burning
eyes, just at the waters edge, took on
ptiable expression. They seemed to
beseech aid and succor from those he
had served so long and so faithfully,
and his masters fairly groveled in the
dust as they yelled to their gods and
frOthed at the mouth in their frantic

An Imprisoned Genius.

Phoenix Herald.
Alberto Topaz, who was taken to
Yuma recently to serve two years
term for burglary, gave his personal
effects to his friends about the Jail.
Deputy Barry was presented with a
fac-simile of the Episcopal church made
out of pasteboard. Topaz could see the
church from one of the Jail windows
and he reproduced it almost perfectly.
He borrowed a knife from Deputy
Sheridan, with which he cut up the
pasteboard, and then made paste,
from flour with which to stick,
the pieces together. 1t is a.
piece of workmanship to be
proud of. The greatest production of
LOpaZ while confined in Jail here is a
reproduction of the magnificent Mer-,
chants Exchange building in Guadala-,
jara. The entire affair is constructed
of paper. On the inside of the building
are the stairways, etc., each perfect in
its construction. The prisoner must be-
possessed of memory much stronger
than most men are, to remember every
detail of that large structure for a num-
Der of years. -
However much genius the man pos
seSSed, he has made bad use of it, and
now goes down to Yuma to put in two
years of his life that should have been
improved as his Maker intended. 1t
really seems sad to have the prison
doors closed upon one who might have
been man among men.
