LEANED AGAINST A CONVENIENT WALL FOR SUPPORT

They respected her pride. which was fine,
because 10 was for her family and not for
herself but IT made IL extremely difficult
for them to keep her alive and clothed.
Miss AFsdale and Mrs. Van Dolsen We're

the ladies she would say 'Hetty is so good.
She heirs me with my shopping. She
IS so patient and sweet and has such good
taste and then the ladies would smile and
sigh. and say how sorry they were that
dear Miss Hetty would not let them do
more for her. She was a universal fay0rlte,
so thoughtful, so good to the sick. and re-

did doubly as much for them as she would
permit them to do for her they meant IL
Every one said IL was really too bad
that the death OF Yonks Van Dolsan should
come at the time il did. right IN the midst
OF the social season, but especially just be-
fore Miss Hettys wedding. Mss Hetty's
engagement was an important event. She
had never been married before In all her
forty years, and had never expected TO be
married and no one else had expected it,
People had come to look upon her spinster-
hood as one OF the immutable things, like
the eternal hills and taxes. and her APP
proaching marriage had all the wonderful
qualities of the unexpected and awesome.
No man In Wtghamton would have had
the temerity to shake good old customs by
marrying Miss Hetty. II would have been
sacriegious. But the Wighamton Mort

I'VE know some OF It," said GarrIck.
You know how proud Hetty Arsdale is,
Van Dolsen continued. Proud as tacks.
Funny girl. too; she'd take things no one
any one could use. Elizabeth was so sorry
for her when she heard of the engagement.
The poor girl hadn't proper clothes. and NO

What did she do? She figured 1t out that
IL some one went into mourning, and IL that
some one had lot of unmournful clothes,
then that some one wouldn't have any use
for them, and Hetty would be willing to
take them. But no one was likely to go
into mourning. So Elizabeth went TO WORK
and laid in stock of clothes, over and un-

Indeed we do. We are vitality Interested

The French Canadians have their share in

II think not. The French Canadians, as
have told you. are proud that they are

feeling if any, in this country in favor OF

1T will be as 1t is for years TO come,

They have crossed over the border from
Quebec and Ontario and gone down into

There are something like one million

The lands here about Regina are of a rich

been cultivated for years with no diminu>

thirty bushels of wheat to the acre without
