Northern would build from Liverpool,
near the terminus of the New Westmin-
ster branch, down the Fraser river to
Point Roberts to connect by ferry across
the straits with Sidney, and thence via
the Victoria & Sydney to Victoria. The

veloping traffic in low grade Vancouver

"Oh, but that's different. We are

the ball a-rolling. We are here to-

Il say we are here to-
ITO divide up. Somebody take the
old croaker by the neck and shake a
barrel Of money out of him!"
Mr.. Bowser might have got out of it
for a two dollar bill, but he wouldn't
stand bulldozing. The result was that
a score OF men began elbowing him
about, and of a sudden he made a dive
for IN opening and reached it. AS he
went out he headed for home at his
best speed, and hard IN his heels IS
a crowd of fifty enraged Divisionists.
Mrs. Bowser and the cat heard the rat
tie and elatter and went TO the front
door, and just as it was opened Mr..
Bowser appeared. He had lost hat and
cane. and his eyes were bullying out
and his ears working. He didn't stop
to open the gate, but with a mighty
leap he cleared the fence and was in
the hall with the key turned in the
door when the first of his pursuers fell
up the front steps.

When Mr.. Bowser sat down to his
cigar and newspaper the other evening
he took a pamphlet from his pocket
and was soon so absorbed in perusing
its pages that Mrs. Bowser had to ask
him twice what it was about before he
answered.
Never mind. You wouldn't under
stand it anyway"
'Of course not. What would ! be
doing fooling around with family re-
cipes?'
lis it hints on hogs and ch~ickens?"
He glared at her over the tops of his
spectacles for a minute and her re-
sumed his reading, and it was mo- I'M

suddenly slapped his leg and exclaim-
ed:

at relates to politics. There Is to
be a new party in the field next year.

there should be a new one, and I'll be

"And what is to be the name of the

THE Divisionists probably; but,
whatever it is, it is sure to sweep the
whole country. We cannot be kept
down any longer"
''Since when have you been kept
down, as you call it. Mr.. Bowser?'
Never you mind about that. but get

he replied. 81 have always felt hat

to help draft a party platform, you

Mrs. Bowser had no more to say. and
Mr.. Bowser found his hat and cane and
set tut. At the gate he was Joined by
a fellow Divisionist, a man who had
been on the point of applying for some
thing at the basement door. His orig
inal idea was abandoned for a better
one. and he struck Mr.. Bowser for a
quarter.
"Of course not was the reply. why
should l give you a quarter? I'll bet
you haven't done an hours work in the
last six months. You go on"
"And you go on. too" answered the
man. "Therell come a day when you
bloated bondholders will have to shell
out and divide up, and don't you forget
it."
At the corner was another Divis-
ionist, and he blocked the way and
boldly demanded Is cents for supper
and lodgings.
Don't you know that it's against
the law to solicit aims on the street,"
sharply queried Mr.. Bowser.
I'm not soliciting aims" was the
surly reply. I'm only asking for my
fair share. I tell you, old man, things
in this world have got to be divided
up. They're holding a big meeting
down here and whooping her up to
beat the band. Are you going to cough
up?"
Mr.. Bowser had to menace him with
his cane to clear the path, and before
he reached the hall he encountered a
third and a fourth and was addressed
so i~mpIdently that it made his blood
boil. At the dor of the hall he found
several people who know him by name
and received something of an ovation,
but he had scarcely finished bowling
his thanks when an individual crowd
ed forward and conidentially sug-
gested:
Say, cap. it would be a nice little
thing to buy a key of beer before the
speaking begins"
I'm not in that line" was the re-
ply.
Then what are you here for?"
A second man crowded up and asked
for the loan of a dollar, and a third
thought they ought to exchange hats
to even up things. Another suggested
cigars for the crowd, and the first com
er returned TO the subject of beer.
IL don't exactly understand this

ed him around. Il have been reading

she replied, with a sigh.
What's that? What do you mean
by that?' he demanded as he rose up.
Didn't your party throw you down
after you had spent about $50 for
beer?"
"Never-never in this world! After
| had got the ball rolling | retired to
