for such things in her ambitious life.
She had grown to consider herself I'M
attractive, for she was a very modest
woman in, spite Of her success.
Her school days had been at best
haphazard ones. Her teaching had
been a miserable failure. Therefore,
the fact that Mr.. Lloyd wished her to
be his wife seemed q great honor.
Joan laughed her soft, good-humored
little laugh as she noticed that he had
signed himself John G. Lloyd & Co.

he took her to a concert or an opera.

The life Of Queen Alexandra was
imperiled by a FIRE which broke out
Dec. 10 in the royal palace at Sand

which the Queen was sleeping. Only
BY a fortunate circumstance was the
hre discovered and her majesty
aroused in time TO prevent calam-

an extremely narrow escape, being
forced to fee through the smoke from
her room in a dressing gown.
The queens secretary. Miss Knollys.
in whose bedroom the IRE started, just
succeeded in awaklng her before the
smoke and flames became too thick to
form barrier to their escape.
The queen had barely escaped from
her apartment when the floor Of the
room collapsed, carrying with it her
bed.
The fire started in Miss Knollys
bedroom in the chimney fiue, where a
beam is supposed to have been smol-
dering for some days. 1t spread rap
idly to the queens bedroom.
Miss Knollys, awakened by the
smoke, rushed at once 10 Queen Alex

through the smoke and flames which
already filed the room, she awakened
the queen. Hastily throwing her own
dressing gown over her royal mistress
she guided her from the room.
The two women had just reached
the broad corridor outside when the
floor Of the queens room collapsed.

Joan climbed YEARLY up the stairs
10 her third story room. She seldom
felt tired, but tonight the whole world
looked criss-cross.
She was a stranger in the city and
among people who gave her no
thought. She had been that many a
time in many a place, yet never be-
fore in her twenty-six years had the
thought so oppressed her. She had
hailed with delight the chance OF
work here for a few weeks, as giving
her the opportunity OF seeing the
place she had long desired to visit.
But the weeks had grown very long.
In spite OF her pride and beauty Of
health and vigor, she was essentially
womanly woman, dependent upon
her friends and surroundings for her
happiness. Caring for herself had not
robbed her of a certain femininity.
In general she was somewhat feared

there she had her true friends.

Then she lighted the gas and laid
the letter which had been troubling
her all day on her desk. She walked
across TO the window and leaned her
head against the sash. The warm

yellow wheat. The province is only
in its infancy. Only onetenth Of the
wheat lands are occupied; yet that
tenth yields more wheat than Great
Britain, one.ffth as much as the two
Russias, twice as much as Sweden,
