WESTERN CAhADA'S
MARVELLOUS CROP RETURNS

The increase In the crop returns OF
the Canadian West. In the past seven
years has approached the marvellous.
and there is no reason TO believe that
a corresponding increase will not re-
suit for many years to come. The In
crease has been particularly noticeable
In what was formerly known as the
Northwest Territories. but which. on
September LIST. 1908. became the prov
lnces OF Alberta and Saskatchewan.
From the official returns We find the
following results in the acreage sown
TO wheat. oats and barley. in the
years mentioned. and a more favor

In any other country during a like

cHAPTER XXIX-contlnued


Bill Hawks appeared TO notice Lang
At about the same instant
Go and tell my wife," said Lang
10 the farmer, that Bill Hawks and
his gang are in the fair grounds. Tell
her 10 drive due north along the side
OF the wall and drive as fast as she
can"
The farmer seemed 20 understand
perfectly and communicated Louis
words 10 Pearl.
While Louis was talking to the
farmer Lang saw Hawks calling his
gang together. Lang did not attempt
TO escape rashly and thus call down
the gang upon his wagon. but so much
confidence did he have In Pearl that
he calmly waited for Hawks to show
his hand. trusting that in the mean
time Pearl would be enabled to carry
out his instructions.
From his position on horseback
Lang very plainly saw his brave wife
mount the seat OF the Judy wagon and
drive through the gate, turning the
team In the direction she was told 10
do. Louis did not think so much OF
his treasure or his own life now as
he did OF the brave little woman he
called wife. whom he had learned to
love with all tho ardor OF his impul
sIye nature. Lang In giving his or
der TO Pearl. had a plan in view OF
escape. He saw way down In the
north corner OF the ground an open
hole In the fence. II was his idea
when Pearl got safely started TO at
tempt TO make his escape through
this opening. In the meantime Hawks
drew nearer TO Lang and his gang
was seen 10 partly surround our hero.
The detective was now almost in
front OF the low railing which formed
the circle creating the race track
proper. Lang turned his horse round
very calmly as II TO so toward the
gate. A race was about TO begin, and
the country people were on the qui
vive 70 see the start. Just as the
gong sounded to start tho races. Lang
like a fash almost turned his horse
