Interview. and now Farnsworth felt its
restraint. He therefore saluted Hamil-

Father Beret's paternal love for AL
ice-we cannot characterize 1t more
nicely than to call it paternal--was his
justification for certain mild sort of
corruption insinuated by him into the
heart of Farnsworth. He was crafty
priest. but his craft was always used
for good end PROFESSIONALLY Jesuitic
was his mode OF circumventing the
young mans military scruples by Of
fering him puff of fair weather with
which to sail toward what appeared to
be the shore of delight. He saw at
glance that Farnsworths love for Alice
was consuming passion in very
ardent yet decidedly weak heart Here
was the worldly lever with which Fa-
Their Beret hoped to raze Alice's prison
and free her from the terrible doom
with which she was threatened.
The first interview was at Father
Beret's cabin, to which, as will be re-
membered, the priest and Farnsworth
went after their meeting in the street.
1t actually came to nothing, save an
indirect understanding but half sug-
gested by Father Beret and never open
ly sanctioned by Captain Farnsworth.
The talk was insinuating on the part
of the former, while the latter slipped
evasively from every proposition, as If
not able to consider it on account Of
curious obtuseness of perception. Still,

CANADIAN INDEPENDENCE.

| The reports of Cana jian wrath over
the decision of the tribunal in the
Alaskan boundary dispute While rela-
lively a small ma tier is looked upon by
i writer in the Chicago Journal as
likely to have a powerful effect upon
the relations of Cane da TO Great Brit
ain He cites that 1t was series of
pin prieks. as Sir Edward Monson,
the British ambassador 10 Paris, called
them that eNasperated England almost
to the point of war with France over
the Fashoda difficulty. The tax on tea,
which caused the historic affair in Bos-
ton harbor. and directly instigated the
revolution in the American colonies.
was a small thing in itself. but, added
TO the hundreds of other small annoy
ances that preceded it, it was enough
to turn the scale and cost England the
better part of a continent
The demand of Sir Wlfrd Laurier's
chief subordinate for Canadian inoe-
pendence is looked upon as as highly
significant of widespread feeling III
Canada and the boundary decision, the
Journal suggests-and perhaps hopes
may prove the last straw to break the
back of Canadian fealty TO the mother
country.
The wish is largely father to the
thought OF the Chicago paper. Canada
of Great Tsritain would Ill
timately mean the absorption of tina
country by the United States and the
extension of Chicago's trade supremacy
north. The west pays its tribute 10
Chicago on every carload of stock and
every case of eggs shipped thru the
windy city to eastern markets. Can
ada as a part of the United States
holds a hope of growth to Chicago into |
the metropolis of the new world, but /
there is a long time % ensue before
either hope will be realized.

CHAPTER XVI.
FATHER BERET's OLD BATTLE.


J" HE room in which Alice was
now imprisoned formed part
Isl OF the upper story Of build
ing erected by Hamilton in
one Of the four angles Of the stockade.
1t had no windows and but two oblong
swivel which stood darkly scowling
near the middle of the floor Day after
day her loneliness and helplessness be-
came more agonizing. Farnsworth, it
Is true, did all he could to relieve the
strain Of her situation, but Hamilton
had an eye upon what passed and soon
interfered. He administered bitter
reprimand, under which his subordi-
nate writhed in speechless anger and
resentment.
Finally. Captain Farnsworth," he
said in conclusion. you will distinctly
understand that this girl is my prison
er, not yours; that l, not you, will di-
rect how she is to be held and treated,
and that hereafter I will suffer no in
reference on your part. l hope you
fully understand me, sir, and will gov
ern yourself accordingly"
Smarting, or, rather, smothering, I'M
der the outrageous insult Of these re-
marks. Farnsworth at first determined
to fling his resignation at the govern
or's feet and then do whatever desper-
ate thing seemed most to his mood. But
q soldiers training is apt to call a halt
before the worst befalls In such case.
Moreover, in the present temptation
Farnsworth had special check and
hindrance He had had a conference

Father Beret shrewdly guessed that
Hamilton had been giving the captain
fresh reasons for bitter resentment.
Moreover he was sure that the moving
cause had been Alice. So. in order to
draw out what he wished to hear, he
said very gently:
How is the little prisoner getting
along?'
Farnsworth ground his teeth and
swore but Father Beret appeared not
to hear. He bit deep into scone, tocas
a liberal sip of the muddy red wine
and added:
