CHAPTER TX.

1t vas now nearly six months since
VaDfeloup had become clerk of the Pac-
tolrs, and he was getting tired Of it, only
watching his opportunity to make a little
money and go 10 Melbourne, where he had
not much doubt as to his success. With
certain sum OF money to work on, NJ. Van
deloup thought that with his talents and
experience of human nature he would soon
be able to make a fortune, particularly
as he was quite unfettered by any scru-
pies. With such an adaptable nature he
could hardly help doing well, but in or
der to give him the start he required
little capital, so stayed ON Mt the Pactolus
and saved every penny he earned. An
other thing that kept him there was his
love for Kitty, and Vaudeloup could not
tear himself away from the place where
she resided
He had called on Kitty's father, the
Rev. Mark Marchurst, who lived at the
top of Black HILL near Ballarat. and did
not like him. Mr.. Marchurst. grave,
quiet man, who was the pastor Of par
ticular sect, calling themselves very mod
estly THE Elect" was hardly the kind
of individual TO attract a brilliant young
fellow Ike Vandeloup. Kitty had fallen
deeply in love with yandeloup, so as he
told her he loved her in return, she
thought that some day they would get
married.
II don't want wife to drag me back"
he said to himself one day when Kitty
had limited at matrimony; when / am
wealthy it will be time enough to think
of marriage. but it will be long before
am rich, and can / wait for Bebe all that
timer"
Meanwhile, the Devils Lead was still
undiscovered, many people declaring it
was a myth, and that lead had never
existed. Three people, however, had a
firm belief in it's existence, and were GER
tain it would be found some day-this
trio being Mcintosh, Madame Midas and
Slivers.
The Pactolus claim was sort of Ma
both's vineyard to Slivers, who, in COM
pany with Billy, used to sit in his dingy
little Office and grind his teeth as he
thought of all the wealth lying beneath
those green fields. He had once even gone
50 far as to offer to buy share in the
claim from Madame Midas, but had been
promptly refused by that lady.
Still the Devils Lead was not found,
and people were beginning to disbelieve in
its existence, when suddenly indications
appeared which showed that 1t was near
at hand Nuggets, some large, some small,
began to be constantly discovered, and
every day news was brought into Balla.
rat about the turning up Of q thirty
ounce or twenty-ounce nugget In the
Pactolus, when, to crown all, the news
came and ran like wildfre through the
city that three hundred ounce nugget
had been unearthed.

Ballarat knows you are in love with that

Ballarat knows you are In love with that
young Frenchman."
Mrs. Villiers felt herself grow faint
this man, who had embittered her life
from the time she married him, was still
her evil genius. A man she had seen on
the road was now nearly up to them, and
with a revulsion of feeling she saw that
it was Vandeloup. Recovering herself
with an effort, she turned steadily.
You lied when you spoke just now"
she said in a quiet voice. II will not
lower myself to reply to your accusation ;
but il you dare to cross my path again l
will kill you"
She looked so terrible when she said
this that Villers involuntarily drew back,
but recovering himself in moment, he
sprang forward and caught her arm.
"I'll make you pay for this" and he
twisted her arm till she thought it was
broken. You'll kill me, will you?-you !!
---you!" he shrieked, still twisting her
arm and causing her intense pain, you
viper :"
Suddenly. when Madame was almost
fainting with pain, she heard a shout, and
knew that Vandeloup had come to the
rescue. He had recognized Madame Midas
down the road, and saw that her COM
panion was threatening her; so he made
all possible speed, and arrived just in
time.
Madame turned round to see Vande-
loup throw her husband into a ditch by
the side Of the road, and walk toward
her. He was not at all excited, but seem
ed as cool and calm as If ne had just
been shaking hands with Mr.. Villiers
instead of treating him violently.
You had better go home, Madame"
ne said, in his usual cool voice, and
leave me to deal with this gentleman you
are not hurt?"
"Only my ARM" replied Mrs. Villiers,
in a faint voice: "he nearly broke it.
But l can walk home alone"
''If you can, do So" said Vandeloup,
with a doubtful look at her. II will send
him away"
Don't let him hurt you
81 don't think there is much danger"
replied the young man, with glance
at his arms. II am stronger than I look"
Thank you, Monsieur" said Madame
Midas, giving him her hand; 'you have
rendered me great service, and one I
will not forget"
He bent down and kissed her hand,
which action was seen by Mr.. Villiers as
he crawled out of the ditch. When Mad
anne Midas was gone and Vandeloup could
see her walking homewaTd, he turned to
look for Mr.. Villiers, and found him
seated on the edge of the ditch, all COW
cred with mud and streaming with water
presenting a most pitiable appearance.
you can tell my wife I'll pay her for
this"
Accounts are paid on Saturdays" call
ed out NJ. Vandeloup, gaily: IF you call
L will give you a receipt of the same kind
as you had today"
Villiers made no response, as he was
already out Of hearing, and went on his
way to the station with mud on his clothes
and rage in his heart.
Vandeloup looked after him for a few
minutes with a queer smile on his lips,
then turn-i On his heel and walked home

THE PROGRESS OF THE CANA.
DIAN WEST.


Canadian Immigration la 1905.
The progress Of a new country cannot
be better ascertained than by noting
the increase of railroad mileage IN its
transportation system, and judged by
this standard, the Canadian West leads
al the countries in the world during
the current year. Thirty years ago
there was not one hundred miles OF
railroad west Of the Great Lakes, and
very little prospect Of a transconti-
mental route fer many years to come,
but by the end Of 1885 the Canadian
Pacific Railway was within measurable
distance of completion, and last year,
twenty years later, fully 5000 miles OF
railroad travcrsed the provinces OF
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
In the past year the work of railroad
construction has been vigorously prose
cuted, and by the end Of 1905 some
5000 miles Of completed railroad has
been added, making a total Of fully
II, eo0 miles IN the three great grain
producing prsviHces Of Canada. Such
an Increase IN the transportation facilf-N
ties Of the country Is bound to make
good times net emily In the districts
where the railroads are being built
but throughout the entire west. Allow
ing $4,000 a mile for construction, the
sum of 100000, 900 will be put in cir
culation, and this In itself should cause
good times to prevail In a land where
work is plentiful, wages are high, and
the cost Of living Is moderate.
But the building of new railroads
through Western Canada means a,
greater benefit to the country than
merely the money put in. circulation by
the cost Of construction. Additional
railway building means the opening or
new agricultural districts and an addi-
tional area under crop, a largely in
creased output of grain to foreign mar
kets with consequent financial returns;
The erection of elevators and the growth
Of villages, towns and cities and every
thing else that makes for the progress
of national life and the opening UP OF
steads so extensively advertised by the
Canadian government agent, whose adj
dress appears elsewhere.
1t was stated on the floor of the
Canadian Parliament recently by a
prominent representative chat ten years
from now would see the bulk Of the
population of Canada residing west Of
the Great Lakes, and If the work OF
railway building during the present
year Is any criterion, the prophecy
made by the Canadian statesman may
be easily fulfilled inside OF the time
stated. During the present-year no less
than 10000 persons have found homes
In the Canadian West Of whom 81, 798
were Americans who have seen the
great possibilities Of this new west,
and have decided TO cast In tneif lot
with It Certainly, our neighbor north
OF the 49th parallel Is making 4 srtat
record, and deserves the success that
appears to be coming It's way.

to sorrow only over woes of prince and page.
 Thackeray was not touched by the wrongs of the common people. He was inclined to sheer at Dickens's treatment of criminals and incompetents. But he had a wholesome contempt for snOb- bery and injustice. and he helped to brush away aristocratic pretension with laughter as Dickens helped wash away injustice with tears.
 But it was left to the greatest wo- man novelist, George Eliot. to give tho most artistic and the most searching of the social studies Of the century With George Eliot a new strain comics into novel writing. She is not con- tent to merely tell a story; she seeks for the relation between the life of he" characters and the life of humanity. She builds into fiction the conflicts and auestionings that Mill and Darwin and Spencer were voicing in economies and science and philosophy. Evolution. heredity. environment-the new risen doctrines surging in the thought of the day-these gave the sense of social re- sponsibility. The vast sympathy of the author makes her characters intensely alive. and holds our interest in their fortunes.
