India's Growth and Population.

The number of persons to the square
mile in India in 1901 (the last CEN
sus) was 1890. OF the total of 294,-
361,O56 who constituted the population
at the last census, more than 200, OOO,-
600 were Hindus. The Christians
number 2,923,241. There was an
amazing preponderance of widows
over widowers in that country. OF
Hindus there were 100000 widowers
and 100000 widows, and of Mo-
hammedans there were 100000
widowers and 100000 widows, and
so on with other races. The taxation
per head in India has grown from rs
cents in 1895 70 81 cents in 1905, and
the debt has grown in that time from
$9S5,OO0,000 to $1,155, 100000. The
Imports rose from $225, 100000 in 1899
to nearly $32OO00,O00 in 1905, while
the exports in the same period in
creased from $685., 100000 to nearly
$515,OOO,OOO.

CHAPTER yIII.-(Continued.)

I relit the candle and, taking Psyche
into the next cave, pointed to her alcove
and bade her lie down. Az the same time
as she had a great thickness of the hay
and straw sent down from time to time
for her use, 1 took an armful for my
own use and babe her goodnight.
She seemed puzzled and disappointed
for a minute at the separation which
she saw | intended, but when l spoke
gravely and pointed again to the alcove
she accepted my bidding and, having Civ
IN my hand one last caress with her
cheek, ran to the acove and threw her
self down. / made myself comfortable in
the sand In the next cave, and, having
reflled the followed chalk 10 the brim,
blew out the light. But it was a long
while before could go to sleep for think
ing over the means of escape and trying
to devise some better eXped.ent than the
laborious one of cutting through an I'M
known quantity of chalk, and it must
have been nearly daybrcak when ! at last
fell asleep.
1t was broad daylight when I awoke,
as l knew by the faint glimmer in the
small cave which revealed the outline Of
the opening.
There's no need to wake the poor
child" thought I, as my mind turned to
Psyche. Naturally my first thought was
of the water l had to filter, and l
should certainly have sprung up to ox-
anime the rock but for the awful dread
of finding the water impure. While |
lay there fearing to put this question to
the touch | became conscious of s)me-
thing warm, and turning my eyes. now
accustomed to the semi-light difused
through the cave, l perceived Psyche
coiled up beside my litter, her face against
my head. My heart melted with this
testimony of atfection-the more because
it showed such ignorance Of civilization
and was so purely instructive.
She was not asleep, and at the slight
movement of my head she rose on her
knees and, looking down into my open
eyes, sung her little elish soug over me.
1t was so sweet and weird and unnat-
ural that sudden terror seized me, as
imagined it might be the first sign of the
madness that comes with insufferable
thirst.
l sprang up and, striking Il light, held
the match with trembling fingers to the
crock 1t was full to overdowing, and
the water was bright and transparent.
l put my lips to the edge and, finding
it sweet and good, lifted it with a cry
of joy to my dear little friends mouth.
She drank eagerly, and yet there was
enough left to Stake my burning thirst
Thank heaven l cried, in the full
ness of my joy. Now we shall live, and
live to beat those old rascals, after ALL"

SEEDING COMMENCED IN WEST
ERIN CANADA.
The Prospects for Large Acreage
TO he Sown I'm Wheat.

to he Sown I'm Wheat.
ST. Paul, April "a, 1907.-Word has
been received at the office of the Cana
dian Government in st. Paul that seed
ing has commenced at various points
throughout Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta.
The heavy snowfall during the past
winter has left the ground in splendid
shape for successful seeding operations.
The fine weather of the past few days
has taken much of the frost out Of the
ground, and during next week there
will scarcely be district In which the
seeder is not being operated. The most
optimistic conditions exist, and In all
districts the farmers are busy getting
things In shape. There will be very
large acreage sown in spring wheat,
oats and barley. At many points
throughout the three provinces the
newcomers are busy unloading their
stock and effects, working night and
day In order to get on their farms and
become active agencies in the effort to
make the year 1907 the banner year in
grain-producing In Western Canada.
As compared with districts many hun
dred miles further south than this, It
will be seen that Western Canada
ranks amongst the first in the line OF
seeding operations for the present year.
1t Is safe to say that farmers, who get
in their crop before the Goth or oath Of
May, will receive magnificent returns.
A number of those coming In this
spring, who had not their land pre-
pared last fall, will break up enough
land to get In crop Of oats and barley,
and probably some fax. This, together
with the vegetables they will plant,
will give them ample food for them
selves and stock during the coming
summer and winter. These early seed
ing operations are not confined to one
district, but are spread over country
900 miles long by 400 miles In width.
The agents Of the Canadian Govern
ment, located at different points
throughout the United States, are busy
giving information regarding the many
new districts that are being made avail
able for settlers. Low railway rates,
Information and literature are given on
application to the agent, whose name

CHAPTER X

Though I had given my rromise TO
cease cutting at the cliff, and intended
to keep it, was by no means deferred
from thinking of escape. 1t would have
needed more than the pangs of hunger
to make me accept perpetual imprison-
ment And now that we might depend
with tolerable certainty on receiving q
daily supply of food, the possibility of
escape was greater than before. We could
afford to spend months in the effort. Nv
