By X. TEMPLE MOORE,

A quick cry broke from the listen
ers.
So there had been quarrel and bad
blood between the men! An old debt
had perhaps been paid in this muir

Mr.. Stack turned hastily to his COM
panion and whispered rapidly to him
for several minutes, glancing now and
then at Give.
I'VE see strong reasons for accept
ing your assertion ind placing you I'M

for you we have no warrant. Are you
willing to come into the barrack and
surrender yourself?"
"Quite ready, on one condition"
''That?"
"That Miss Lisle be no more ap-
preached in connection with this eaf-
fair"
"Oh, no, mol" Laurie cried, frantic
ally. Il see what you are trying to
do. No, No! Gentleman, you must
not take him at his word-indeed, you
must not! Don't you see what he is
doing-shielding me? l will not have

At that instant Cynthia came swift

had that day contded her suspicious

"Clive," she said, anxiously, 'syour

He turned quickly to the officers.

Then he put his arm around Laurie,
and together they went away across
the polished floor, he smiling tenderly
down on the sweet face upturned to
his, love-glorifed.
Dear" she pleaded, you must not
let those people think you guilty of
that awful crme--you must not!'
A sudden blaze Of rapture swept
over his weary face and b.otted out
its haggard misery.

HARMONY A MATTER OF TIME
Some Facts That Plighted Lovers
Should Remember.

Some Facts That Plighted Lovers
Should Remember.
The harmonizing of the PERSONAL.
ties Of even the best mated couples is
usually work of time Before they
can learn readily to make those little
concessions which keep two natures
In harmony there is generally more
or less twanging OF false chords, and
II these false notes can be eliminated
before marriage so much the better.
Besides it is more difficult to sink
ones pride before marriage than
after, and the object lesson is, accord.
ingly, the more valuable, says the
Chicago Chronicle.
Quarrels, it should be remembered,
are ills which fall to the lot of most
of us. They should be treated care
fully and quickly, as one treats a cut
finger. Neglected, a cut finger may
lead to serious complications, endan-
gering ones life. In the same way
little quarrels may endanger ones
life happiness.
All lovers quarrel, but some make
the foolish mistake of parting at once
without allowing time for reflection.
If two people become separated and
can still think with affection of each
other after two or three years alb
sence they are fitted to marry It is
foolish and absurd to allow pride TO
stand in the way.
Love removed is better than first
love, more sincere 1t is love that is
refined by years Of reflection and is
the golden output of pure affection.

PRAI E LAND.
Editorial Correspondencefl
Moose Jaw, Assiniboi


Farmers Review,
Chicago, July ~, 1903.
Most of the prairies In the United
States have ceased to exist. Man has
broken them up with orchards, for
Sests and farm buildings. But in
Western Canada the prairies still
stretch grandly from horizon to hori-
4 ION as vet unmarried by the hand OF
man, save where the iron road has
been laid. To city man there is
something deliciously restfnl about
the vast grassy solitudes.
Numerous clumps OF trees mark the
course of the Assiuiboine river, which
keeps in sight OF the railroad for some
distance.
Grass is one Of the notable things
about all the landscape Of Western
Canada 1t is a remarkable fact that
the entire length OF the Canadian Pa
cific railway from its eastern termi-
mus to the Rocky Mountains is over
plains where grass grows. The sage
brush appears at some points. but
never to the exclusion of grass. There
is thus not a mile OF this country that
cannot be used for some agricultural
purpose either for filling or ranch
ing.
Moose Jaw is a town of over 1000
Inhabitants, and one of the most Inn
sportant places in Assiniboia, being the
center of a very good farming coun-
try and great grain and stock ship
ping point.
Near Moose Jaw agriculture and
ranching go hand in hand; for near
the town was seen a herd of beef
cattle several hundred in number. On
another side was seen good sized
herd of dairy cows. the property OF
the citizens in the town.
In riding over the prairies we saw
many good fields Of alfalfa. The great
need Of the country is timber, which
grows readily where planted, as was
demonstrated by the shelter belts on
some Of the farms, and the trees on
the residence lots in the town.
Stories were told the writer Of
men who last year cleared from their
eWsASde CIOQ iuoIS luan InS lauQ on
which it was grown originally cost
them. This is easy to believe, in view
Of the large crop and high price for
wheat last year. Henry r. Thurston.
BY sending your address to any
agent OF the Canadian Government
you will have mailed to you copy Of
an atlas, railway rates, etc, giving
fullest information regarding Western
Canada.

They found my lady lying on low

for the first time Of the Infamous accu-

up through the demesne. In the small
hollow of a cedar where it evidently
had been flung, saw the glistening
handle Of dagger. A quick thought
came to me. At any cost-at any cost

A low knock startled them.

Only for a little while. Guieletta,'
he answered; ''just to satisfy them

She rose suddenly to her feet.

that a crimson crime can only be

her, Master Clive?"
Dearly She is my promised wife,
nurse"
AYE, aye, is it so? Let me look
well at you, carissima."
She took the girls velvety face in
her hard brown hands, and turned it
so the lamplight fell on it fully. She
searched it with her piercing eyes.
"A fair face-a fair face! She'll be
the sweetest bride that ever came to
Blackcastle except-except my LADY,"
Give, sitting by the head of the
lounge, one arm flung lovingly around
his mother, bent over her with laugh
at the positive assertion
"How's that for loyalty. mother?
did you-why, MOTHERHOOD heav-

Fer eyes were closed and she was
breathing with difficulty. She looked
up languidly at the sound of his voice.
There was faint smile on her lips.
She put out her hand gropingly. He
caught it in his strong hold.
"Mother!" he cried again, in alarm.
Her breath came more pantingly.
The smile on her lips deepened. Her
eyes, fixed on her son in tender ado

with the glorious luster of their youth.
"My boy!" she whispered.

Old Guieletta rushed to the lounge

Of her mistress with wailing cry:

"Hark!" Cynthia Lennox cried, sud-

"Three Times and Out. y

As individuals, isn't it strange
how really insignificant we are.-
when we remember the fact (bar-
ring sensational doings) that we,
attract attention but three times
in whole lifetime?
When we make our first ap--
pearance on earth as one of the
population, we are heartily well
come; our friends smoke to our
health, wish us we'll, predict a
glorious future and then imme-
diately forget even our existence.
We live an uneventful life till
maturity and when our marriage is,

Thanksgiving Day.

Holidays are always pleasing
feature connected with institutional
life, but the two most enjoyable
ones among them are Thanksgiv-
ing Day and Christmas. This year
Thanksgiving Day found many in
a thankful mood. At ten minutes
to ten the inmates attended chapel
hall where a short but pleasant
entertainment was given. Warden
Wolfer was master of ceremonies.
Mrs. Josephine Bonaparte Rice
took the leading part in the pro-
gram, and the applause fully
testified that she succeeded in
amusing her audience. Professor
Hewitt also contributed much to-
ward making the entertainment a
success. There was a gentleman
present who played several selec-
tons on the banjo.
After the chapel entertainment
was over the men marched out
while the band played "Jolly Boys
In Grey After lining up in the
dollhouse the signal was given to
march to the park, where everybody
talked and-talked little more
When the whistle blew the men
again took up the march to the
dollhouse and to their cells. In a
few minutes, however, the gong
sounded and the march to the din
ing room was started. Arriving
there they found one of the best
dinners that has been dished uI

State Magazines.

We have again been told that
the State Magazines are being
misused. Some of them have
wholly disappeared, and others
have been torn and otherwise mu-
tilated so as to make them unfit for
circulation. Now these magazines
are gratuitously circulated among
the prisoners. They should, there
fore, be handled with care; and after
you have read them, must be placed
in the small box expressly pro-
vided for them. They must not be
held more than tzVo nights.
However, if you do not wish
these magazines, say SO. The
persons who are doing this crooked
work had better stop it, or else be
prepared to suffer the conse-
quences. No one but an idiot is
capable Of such an act. 1t is a
very small trick to say the least.
Hereafter these magazines will be
carefully checked in the Deputy
Warden's Office.

In marking numbers on the pa

mark the numbers large and as

Hero of Alexandra. There is no
