This necklet evil"
The goldsmith. having. completed his
task, held up the chain in bewilder-
ment.
This? Why, It's the property of
thy beauteous cousin, Mistress May
land" he answered, ''who left 1t with
me more than fortnight since; but,
mine arm being stiff with sprain I
received the day it came, had ne'er
q chance before to mend IT.
"Ha, ha!' Taunston laughed dis
cordantly "I' truth, tbs no wonder
thou hast sprains,' he said, with deep
significance. when thou doth keep
such DEVILS implements about thee.
Thou'lt have worse than sprains an thou
takest not more care, good neighbor."
At the ominous words and manner
Of his visitor the goldsmith's face
paled, and his jaw dropped as he
stared at him, aghast. Almost uncon-
sciously he laid the chain down.
What meanst thour
Josiah shook bis head sadly and let
his long face grow longer as he said:
loft and many time have reasoned
with Margaret Maryland against the
wearing of that idolatrous emblem,
urging her that 1t would do her harm,
but abe, ever DER headstrong, would
not heed me, which fact much de-
plore. Ny mother, woman widely
known for her wisdom, asserteth that
from the day our cousin brought that
cross among us we have been sorely
beset with misfortunes. First the
drought. We have meier had rain since
the big storm. How can planted seed
grow? And then the disease among
the sheep. Our lambs most all ha' died.
All, lackaday. tits great loss to a
hardworking. saving manr'
he sighed drearily.
"An', Adam, repeat It, woe to us
all the day that accurst cross was
brought to this village!"
The goldsmith, possessing even more
than the customary large amount Of su-
perstition held by his neighbors, glanced
fearfully about him, moving farther
along the bench from the Cross and
chain, and Josiah, seeing the impress
sion he was making, continued with
solemn emphasis:
"But, mind ye, we would not ha' given
blame to our cousins headstrong per-
sistency SO readily had not held con-
verse with a French peddler, dealer
in magic charms, who told me on his
oath that crosses Of gold were known
among men O. his trade to be pos
sessed Of devils and to bring harm to
all who touched them"
So great was the superstition Of that
period, so firm the belief In charms,
black art and magic, that the golds
smith, almost overcome by the knowl-
edge Of his danger, fairly trembled
with apprehension.
Lord. ha' mercy! I'll-I'll send the
wicked gewgaw home by Christopher y
he said, IAN he comes in from the
wedding"
After an interchange of a few more
words Josiah proceeded on his way,
and old Adam was left alone in his

DEVELOPMENT OF CANADA.
Railroad Building Opening Up Great
Wheat Districts.

According to Consul Dudley parts
of British Columbia are progressing
rapidly. The Canadian Pacific and
the Great Northern railway systems
are vieing with each other in work
that is sure to mean a great deal to
that part of the world. He writes:
The work of developing the south
central portion of British Columbia is
going forward by leaps and bounds.
The Canadian Pacific railway has a
large force of men at work construct
ing a branch line from Spence S
Bridge southeastward to Nicola, a
Diary to Vernon. This road will fol-
give access to a region extremely
rich in minerals and will open up
much fertile land especially adapted
to fruit culture.
Another company is now construct
ing line from Midway on the boun-
Diary to Vernon. Shis road will fol-
low the waters that flow from Okla
nagan lake to Penticton, at the foot
of the lake, then follow its shores to
Vernon. At Midway this line will con-
meet with the Canadian Pacific, so
that shipments from the most pro-
ductive fruit growing district may be
made to the prairie country in the
Northwest Territories and direct
shipments will be made by this line
to the coast. II will also connect with
the Great Northern line. opening an
outlet for produce to Spokane and
eastward.
The Great Northern railway is now
constructing an extension of its Kettle
River line from Grand Forks to
Franklin Camp, Is miles distant. This
road will open one of the richest
mining districts in this province. The
Great Northern has now secured the
necessary legislation and is already
at work upon the line from Midway
to Vancouver, thereby giving this city
direct communication with the Sim
ilkameen and Boundary districts. This
means very much to the people of
Vancouver, and the real estate men
are already discounting the future.
