list of some of those now under consid

To My Many Friends am pleased
to make report to you of the pleasant
visit my wife and / had In Western
Canada.
We visited the territories OF Al
berta, Assiniboia, and Saskatchewan,
and found them far surprising our i'm
agination, but little did I expect to
find such rich, loamy soil, SO much
OF 1t. and so uniform in its level prai-
rie lay. do think the soil of Canada
as . rule equals il not excels the fin
est prairie farm lands of Indiana.
These lands are immense in their
richness, and when once the sod is rot
ted and pulverized, 1t is as pliable and
as easily cultivated as Indiana sandy
soil.
Western Canada, from my point of
view, offers as fine opportunities for
mixed farming as any place in my
knowledge. The long, sunshiny days.
together with the rich soil, produce
very fine wheat, oats, barley, fax and
other cereal products. There is scarce
ly any attempt to raise corn, except
early varieties for table use. The sea-
son is too short to depend upon ma
turing field corn. From the stand
point of getting this land ready for
the plow, / must say that never saw
such vast extent, practically all
ready so all that one has to do is to
hitch up the plow and 60 to work.
This Is not the ease with all the
Canadian land. however; some of It
has quite a bit of timber, much of il
may be called brush land, and some of
1t has lovely forest groves, dotted here

In another minute the beautiful face
had disappeared. and Sir Raoul was left
in the pleasaunce alone.
"A man might lay down his life for
such woman as that" he said, with
what was almost sigh.

but went straight to him, smiling so
that he little guessed how her heart

drew nearer to him. What was going
to happen? Before he had time to

CHAPTER xxx (Continued.)
She glanced at him, her beautiful face
full OF perplexity; she had gathered a
crimson carnation, and was holding 1t
between her slender fingers.
II will tell you, Raoul. / asked my
father IL love were necessary for hap
piness, and he said NO / believed
him; hence my mistake"
your father deceived you."
"He did deceive me-" she replied.
He looked at the downcast face.
1T is a sad story. Tell me, Hildred
why does your patience fail? love
Ulric-I love you; I can judge between
you. Why does your patience fail?"
Il do not wish to speak evil Of my
husband" she replied, slowly; ''the
very fact that he has injured me should
make me generous to him--the very
fact that dislike him should compel
me to speak well of him. love noble
foe"
IF you were a foe at all, you would
be a noble one" he said; "but you
are not. You may speak frankly, be-
cause you are speaking to one who
loves Uric Caraven in spite of his
faults. Tell me honestly all about
your dislike"
She was silent for some minutes,
and the crimson leaves of the Glove
carnation fell one by one to the ground.
II do not like speaking of it," she
began. "You must see. Raoul, as well
as do-you must understand. How
could any one help despising and dis
liking man who lives for himself,
who cares for nothing but his Own
pleasure, and leaves every duty neglect
ed? How can love a man who mar
ried me only for my money, despising
me the while-who has not since mar
rage shown me the ordinary civility

tell me, Hildred-I know you will

bands faults?"

cleared.
"Ulric was truthful boy" he said.
rDo you know of anything else in his
favor?"
She thought again.
II think" she replied, even more
SLOWLY, that he is tender hearted He
is not cruel; he does not like to see
people suffer; he is cruel only to me-"
'True In word and tender OF heart
these are two good qualities; we know
that he has handsome face, and easy
grace of manner, musical voice. You

qualities. / will tell you something

Listen again, Hildred. He has done
all kinds of foolish, mad, senseless ac-
tions; but no one ever told of him that
he had done mean one"

to win the heart of any woman. Tell
me--do you think 1t quite impossible
to love such character?"

ly.

to curse the young wife who. by flying
from him and leaving him to his own
devices, had FASTENED his ruin, body
and soul--picture that. Then fancy to
yourself the earl on his death-bed,
blessing the dear wife, the noble wo-
man who saved him from ruin, who
woke his soul from its long sleep, who
taught him how to live and to die.
Could you hesitate for one moment
between these two pictures?"
"No, not for one moment, Raoul. 1
do not hesitate--I will not hesitate. I
will do my life's work"
"That is well said. You must resolve
to overcome all dificulties-you must
say to yourself from the beginning
that nothing shall daunt YOU"
II WISH" she said, that you would
tell me what to do, first. l could go
on If only knew how to begin"
He smiled grayely.
Perhaps you would think my first
lesson a very hard one" he said.
II will do what you tell me, Raoul,
let it be what it may"
Then shall suggest this. You wish
to make little advance-nothing very
marked. but some trifiing act of civil
ity that will make amends, and show
your desire to be what children call
friends"
He did not know what an effort 1t
cost her to say EYES," but she did say
1t, and she meant it.
Then this is what / suggest. It was
about spray of mignonette that you
displeased Uric last. Gather some
beautiful sprays of it, the finest you
can obtain, and take them to him. Say
quite carelessly, You admire mignon-
cite, so have brought you this"
Aud suppose" said Hildred. "that
he repays me in kind by throwing it
away?"
Never mind-courage and patience
must be your watchwords. All. Hildred,
after all, our likes and dislikes should
have little to do with our duties! You
will not be alone in your struggles; I
shall watch over you, shall help you,
and sympathy is sweet"
She caught his hand and kissed it.
He saw her face clear and a bright
earnest light shine in her eyes.

LISTEN, WILL TELL YOU HOW"
it's sleep 1t will turn to you naturally
as the sunflower turns to the sun. Do
you not foresee it, Hildred?" And an
almost sanity enthusiasm shone on his
face.
1T is possible. 2aoul but"
Nay. be brave. You must not even
think Of the word but You must be
enthusiastic over it7-nothing can be
done without enthusiasm. You must
give yourself up to it, as mission
airy does to the conversion of the
heather; as martyr does to his death.
You must work for it, live for it, die
for it. Have you the courage and the
consistency for this, Hildred?"
The light was deepening on her face,
the fire in her eyes. The passion Of
his words was beginning to tell upon
her.
II have both the courage and the
constancy." she replied.
Think of the difference in the end
ing" he said. Imagine the earl on
his deathbed, tortured by the ghosts

him the elements of noble character.
Hildred. Give to sculptor block of
shapeless marble, and what does he
fashion from it?"
"A beautiful statue" she replied.
"True. Given a shapeless mass Of
qualities, good and bad intermixed, I
say that good woman from them can
mold a beautiful character. Listen
will tell you how"
He had drawn nearer to her, and the
leaves OF the crimson carnation fell at
his feet; the western wind seemed to
pause and listen-it fell with faint,
subdued sigh.
You may run away and leave your
home, Hildred; but that will be COM
monplace ending. Do that which is
nobler, higher, better-resign yourself,
submit to your fate and make the best
Of it. AS handsome and noble wo-
man use your influence with your hus-
band to rouse him from his Slough OF
Despond into higher life"
She was looking at him in sheer won
der.
How can influence Lord Cara
ven?" she asked
You can do it by patience and per-
severance. Say to yourself that the
task of your rife shall be to make him
a good man. Instead OF running away
from it, devote yourself to it. There
Is much said of womans mission--let
that be yours, and surely there can be
no higher or holier mission than to
rouse an indolent man to sense OF his
duty, a selfish man from his self-in-
diligence"
But how could l do it, Raoul?" she
asked.
"You could do 1t in some fashion.
The well-being- the very souls of
men lie in women's hands. Here is
lifelong task for you-a glorious mis-
sion, a noble work. Give your life to
your husband-to the task of awaken
ing him to a sense OF his duties-to the
task of making him good man and
useful member of society, a conscien-
tious steward Of great wealth, a just
landowner; teach him how to be kind
and just and merciful, help him to lead
a fair and noble life. Could any wo-
man wish for more glorious task than
this?"
Some of the light that shone on his
face was reflected on hers.
1T would be a noble task" she
said, thoughtfully. Gould / accom-
plish it, Raoul?"
With perseverance and self-control
that would amount to heroism you
might" he replied. "You must be the
sculptor who. from mass of qualities,
good and bad intermixed. must try to
produce a perfect character"
But" she said, doubtfully. "he does
not love me-"
THAT does not matter. I prophesy
that he will love you in the end-that
when you have reused his soul from
