On some day." His words drove
Franklin again to his feet and he
walked up and down, his face gone
pinched and old.
At dawn the wind lulled. The
clouds swept by and the sun shone
for an hour over vast landscape
buried under white. Sam was ready
to start. having worked half the night
making runners for sled at whlch
his wild team snorted in the terror
of unacuuaintedness The sled DoN
was piled full of robes and coal and
food and liquor-all things that seem
ed needful and which could hurrledly
be secured
With perfect horsemanship sam
drove his team rapidly on to the
south. five miles, ten miles. hiteeh'
the horses now warming up, but still
restless and nervous, even on the
way so familiar to them from their
frequent journeyings. The steam OF
their breath enveloped the travellers
in a wide. white cloud. The rude
runners crushed into and over the
packed drifts, or along the sandy
CRIME where the wind had swept the
earth bare of snow. In less than an
hour they would see the Halfway
House. They would know whether
or not there was smoke.
But in less than two hours on that
morning of deceit the sun was lost
again. The winds piped up, the colo
continued, and again there came the
binding snow, wrapping all things
in its dancing dizzy mist.

CHAPTER xxv.-continued.

The sun came on,valiantly stripped

louder rose the requieA of the WIRE
The sky smiled on. There was no
token to strike with alarm these hui
man beings, their faculties dullcd by
a thousand years of differentiation
To the north there appeared long,
black cloud, hanging low SIS the trail
of some far-off locomotive, new upon
the land. All at once the cloud
sprang up. unfurling tattered battle
flags, and hurrying to meet the sun
upon the zenith battle ground.
Once the wind pelted the slant snow
through the interstices of the grasses
upon the furry back of the covering
coyote. Now they found new sport
in driving the icy powder through the
cracks of the loose board shanty, upon
the stripped back of the mother hud-
ding her sobbing children against the
empty, impotent stove, perhaps wrap
ping her young in the worn and whit
ened robe of the buffalo taken years

frontier for America in this unpre-

The men who had no fuel did as
their natures bid, some dying at the
ice.bound stove and others in the
open on their way for fuel Mishap
passed by but few of the remoter
homes found unprepared with fuel,
and Christmas day, decetfully fair,
dawned on many homes that were to
be fatherless, motherless, or robbed of
a first-born. Thus it was that from
this, the hardest and most self-re-
liant population ever known on earth,
there rose the heartbroken cry for
comfort and for help the frontier for
the first time begging aid to hold the
skirmish line.

where Franklin sat on Christmas eve,
listening to the clinking rattle of the
hard snow on the pane. Sam was
white from head to foot. His face
was anxious, his habitual uncertainty
and difidence were gone.

Franklin felt a tightening at his
heart. About fifteen to twenty

ADMIRAL ToGo's CADET DAYS
"Reminiscences of the Foremost Jap
anese Admiral

dneSe AuNITdN
A retired English naval officer. who,
when lad, was on board the train
ing shin Worcester at the same time
as the prominent Japanese Admiral
Togo. tells the following reminis-
cences:
Togo was constantly the victim OF
all manner of chaff from the young
Britishers on board, who called him
"One-go-two-go-three-go." Disliked at
first, perhaps because he was unlike
his mates, he grew in popularity on
account of his remarkably alert mind
and agile body, until at length he be-
came a general favorite with officers
and boys.
He stood all chaff with a certain
amount of bravado, unless it touched
on his resemblance to the Chinese
To one fellow sailor who dubbed him
a Chinaman he said with emphasis
You wait: when | am the admiral
| hang you on the yardarm.'
One day that Togo had his leave
stopped for some small offense, LIB
erty boys to go ashore" was piped
and the boys went up to him and said
Are you to go?" No" he replied
Immediately the youngsters got rounc
him and pinched him for telling lies
shouting at the same time, You are

His Christian name being rather
difficult to pronounce. Togo was told
by one of the boys to shoot his god

home. I'VE do not shoot gods il

cases. Doctors recommend it to their

The returns of the Interior Depart
ment show that the movement OF
American farmers northward to Can
ada is each month affecting larger
areas of the United States. Time was,
SAYS the Winnipeg Free Press, when
the Dakotas, Minnesota and Iowa fur
nished the Dominion with the main
bulk of it's American contingent. Last
year. however, forty-four states ana
districts were represented In the OIL
fetal statement as to the former resi-
dence of Americans who had home
steaded in Canada. The Dakotas still
head the list, with 1905 entries, Min
nesota being a close second with $685.
but with the exception of Alabama
and Mississippi and Delaware every
state in the Union supplied settlers
who. in order to secure farms in the
fertile prairie country Of Canada. be-
came citizens of and took the oath OF
allegiance to, the Dominion. Last
year no less than 1854 Americans
entered for homestead lands in Can
ada.
From the Gulf to the Boundary,
and from ocean to ocean, the trek TO
the Dominion goes on. Not only the
wheatgrowers of the central Mlssls-
sippi valley, but the ranchers OF TeXas
and New Mexico, and the cultivators
of the comparatively virgin soil OF
Oklahoma, are pouring towards the
productive vacant lands Of the Cana
dian Northwest. 1t is no tentative,
half-hearted departure for an alien
country that is manifested in this
exodus; it has become almost rush
to secure possession of land which 1t
is feared by those imperfectly ac-
uuainted with the vast area OF Can
adas vacant lands, may all be acquir-
ed before they arrive. There is no
element of speculation or experiment
in the migration. The settlers have
full information respecting the soil,
wealth, the farming methods, the
laws, taxation and system of govern
ment of the country to which they
are moving, and they realize that the
opportunities offered in Canada are in
every respect better and greater than
those they have enjoyed in the land
they are leaving.
Canada can well afford to welcome
cordially every american farmer COM
ing IN the Dominion, There is no
question but that these immigrants
make the most desirable settlers OBJ
tainable for the development of the
prairie portion or the Dominion. Full
information can be had from any au-
thorized Canadian government agent
whose address will be found else
where in this paper.

FINANCIAL TENDENCIES.
First Month Of the Year Is Usually
Uncertain.

New York, Jan. 3o.-The wholly uncer-
tain character of the financial movement,
thus far in the year-except when war
rumors have been dominant. is similar
TO what the markets usually witness in
a January. 1t is a matter of familiar
experience that the opening weeks OF
every year are such period of uncer-
tainty The drifting tendency ordinarily
continues until some definite and unex-
pected event occurs, under the influence
of which the latent sentiment OF the
markets crystalizes into definite up
ward or wownward movement, in which
the investing public participates.
Last year there is no doubt that the
Northern Securities decision was the land
mark which showed when the tendencies
of the year became pronounced. II did
not cause the subsequent decline. but IT
brought into sight conditions which had
not, up to that time. been clearly visible.
The markets of 1902 did not disclose
rtheir real character until the raid on
Louisville and Nashville stock. at the
opening of April. Before that date, an
entirely vacillating movement had pre-
speculation for the rise We're almost con-
tinuous. Announcement Of the "Burling-
ton deal" during March. set at rest ali
doubts as to the tendency OF the markets
in 1901. The markets of 1870 were inscru-
tible until May. when the "Stecl and Wire
Clique" shut down their mills and attacked
the stock market. In each Of these cases.
it was difficult or impossible. until the
event described, to define exactly the ma
ture Of the situations

to what event. or what sort OF event.
will disclose the real financial tendency Of
1894. Usually the occurrence which serves
this purpose cones unexpectedly. This is
why the Northern Securities decision. or
the actual outbreak Of eastern war. is
not likely to be the requisite landmark.
Both are expected. and have in a way
been discounted" Politics may, as in
1896 provide the impetus. There have
been years also like 1897. when the mar
kets continued 10 drift until the mid
summer crop situation became the doni-
mating influence.
