SASKATCHEWAN, WESTERN CANADA
is CALLED THE "GARDEN
Of EDEN,"
by a Former Resident of Reed City
Michigan.


In letter to the Reed City, Michi.
gan. Clarion, Mr.. Jas. G. Armstrong.
of Meltford, Saskatchewan, says, writ
ing on 9th May, 1901:
This is fine country for poor
man, as he can go out on the hay
slews and cut all the hay he needs. He
turns his cattle out on the prairie, and
when he is not using his horses he
turns them out also. There is such an
abundance of food, they never wan
der away.
"A lady, who has lived here eight
years told me that this was the origi-
nal Garden OF Eden, | certainly

the apple trees. But as it is, We have
many varieties of fruit-straw0effies,
.cranberries, saskatoons, huckleberries,
red and black currants, dewberries,
plums, red and black cherries. and
red raspberries. All OF these fruits
grow wild. Then the flowers that dot

patton, no more self-indulgence He
made up his mind that all the plans
his wife had contemplated and be-
gun for the benefit of the estate should
be carried out before she returned
home. The model cottages should be
built, and men with their families re-
siding in them; the schools should not
houses should be finished, and the old
women occupying them. She should
find her protege, Mary Woodruff, in
stalled as FORTRESS in one of the lodges:
every wish his wife had ever ex-
pressed should be carried out, every
desire fulfilled houses should be re-
paired, farms put in good order-he
would neglect not single thing that
she had ever proposed or thought of.
No matter what IL cost, il all should
be done. He took Sir Raoul into his
confidence, and they found that by en-
ploying extra hands the work could
be done in time.
Lord Caraven, in the midst of his
labors and tolls, did not forget to cor
respond continually with his wife. He
wrote to her every week, never telling
her what he was doing. but dwelling
continually on his passionate love for
her, on his intense desire to see her
again
So the year passed away. It was
thought advisable for Mrs. Glenvil to
return before the English winter be-
gan, and the beginning of September
was fixed upon as the time for her and
the countess return. The earl prayed
his wife to allow him TO go to Nice
TO escort them home, as was at first
arranged. She answered, NO. that her
father would do that. She did not wish
to meet him again until she met him
at home. Her father would bring her

She was standing by the window
when he entered. His step was SO
light and quiet that she did not hear

for half a minute in silent admiration.
"Hildredi' he called, and at the
sound of his voice crimson flush
seemed to burn her neck and face. She
was quite silent for a minute, and
then she turned to him and held out
her hand.

he detected slight tremor in her
voice. 'Let me ask a question in my
turn: Is it true that you love me?"
Yes" he answered. 1T is as true
as that heaven is above me-"
''Will you tell me how long you
have loved me?" she asked quietly.
"I will answer you quite truthfully,
