II A QUEER FAIRY.
Or Else the Stories About Her Are In
Some Respects Inaccurate.

oOtSO blN
London Daily Express: The name,
at any rate, has at last been discovered
of the mysterious and beautiful lady
who, as recorded in the Express a week
or so ago, has lately been making her
home on the seashore in a lonely spot
on the Argyllshire coast. She is Miss
Margaret MacDougal. But at that
point information ceases. Young and
~singularly attractive, with great masses
Of brown hair worn loose over her
shoulders, or lightly tied with a piece
of ribbon, she has been residing on the
Ardmaddy beach at high water mark
without shelter and without food of
any kind save shellfish. She sleeps on
the grass and declines all offers of food,
clothing or money. The most extraor-
binary stories are current about the
fair unknown, Of which the following
supplied by a local correspondent-are
q fair sample:
when at leisure the correspondent
says, ''she knits and knits; and the ball
of worsted never seems to decrease in
size. She talks English and Gaelic
fluently, and even converses In several
other languages, to suit the person
talking to her. She has been photo
graphed several times, but none Of the
photographs seem alike, and she does
not appear to everybody the same.
ITO some she appears to be about "a
years of age and to others about lou
BILE that age. She gives her name as
Margaret MacDougal. but nothing is
known as to where she comes from.
Ardmaddy, where she resides. has been
always famous as the rendezvous OF
fairies. Nearby is Dun-na-teine and
Creagan-Fharaidh, places famous as
the haunts OF those spirits that infu-
ence men for good or i'll. To this place,
1t Is believed, she retires at night.
There she gets news of all that will
transpire the following day.

WHAT WE HEAR FROM ASSINI-

To the Editor:
The above is the emphatic man
ner in which a friend in York.
ton writes to a friend near st. Paul,
Minnesota, and it is pretty nearly
right, too, when the advantages
that Western Canada offer to those
seeking homes. The Assiniboia dis
trict is one of the best. The writer
from whose letter we quote goes ito
say:
"John, If you miss this chance you
are foolish, for you can get out cheap
err when there are so many coming,
and would not tell you to come il
thought you could not do well, and IL
you don't come in the spring you will
have to go away back, for you do not
want to think that there is no one liv-
ing out here but us. saw nicer build
ings out here than ever saw before,
and IL the country was no good what
would they want them for? John, IL
you sold everything you have and
come out here you would be worth
more than ever you were before, and II
you can bring your team, you can get
anything you want on tick, and when
they do that with strangers they are
not afraid they can't make enough to
pay for it. saw as nice wheat as 1
ever saw in my life and if they could
not grow grain what would the Hour
