1t was midnight. In Fifth avenue
there were few pedestrians, and so a
TAT man in evening dress, hurrying
northward, attracted attention. Six
night birds, who thought his actions
mysterious, followed a few PAGES in
the rear. Occasionally they questioned
each other as they trotted briskly
along, but the questions were put in
the hopeless tone that the Questioner
uses when he knows the person ques-
toned cannot supply the information
he requires.
The fat man didn't speak. He
moved at a smart jog trot, looking
straight to the front and seemingly
unaware of the fact that he was the
cause of much conjecture. The mys-
terry scented by the others was caused
by the peculiar movements OF his
hands. His arms were outst,etChed,
and his two hands reyolyed round
each other like the hands of O fisher
man hauling in a line. And the in
qulsitiye ones in the rear were unable
to explain this movement. 1t was not
dignifed exercise for a fat man in
evening dress, and their curiosity was
justified.
At Thirty.seCond street a policeman,
doing on the opposite side OF the
road, Strengthened himself as ne saw
the hurrying group coming towards
him. Swinging his night stick he
crossed over and waited the approach
of the little procession. He was in
charge of that neighborhood, and
there should be an explanation.
The fat man passed the officer at a
sallop. His hands were moving faster
and faster, and the tails of his coat
were sticking out like little black
wings in his rear The law was a
tritle astonishCd. AS he stood looking
after the leader of the hurrying squad
he was jostled by the inquisitive ones
following, and he became annoyed

He grabbed a straw hated youth by
the shoulder and questioned him.
Whats the natter" he cried.
Search me" answered the ques-
toned one. "Le'me go; | want to see
what the ole guy is up to"
The policeman lost his temper. He
was being treated with disrespect. A
festive citizen was running a fool pro.
cession over his beat without giving
him the least explanation! So he let
20 OF the youths shoulder and dashed
madly after the man in evening dress.
Here, what's the game?" he painted.
What sort of stunt are you up to,
anyhow"
The fat man shook of the grip of
the law and ran faster than ever, his
outstretchcd hands circling round
each other like the arms Of windmill
in a gale.
"Stoop down and III tell YOU" he
gasped, as the officer ma lie another ef-
fort TO restrain him.
The evident respectfully Of the fat
man made the policeman comply with

Extraordinary INCREASE IN
FARM LANDS,
nsoUTHERN ALBERTA is
MIGHTY GOOD COUNTRY"

No stronger or better evidence can
be given of the merits of a country
than that which comes from the testi.
mony of the settler who has deter
mined to succeed. This is why we
reproduce the following letter. which
speaks for itself. These people were in.
duced to go to Western Canada
through the solicitation of Canadian
Government agent who secured for
them the low railway rates.
"Carmangay, Alta, Canada, 12-15'0s.
"Mr. c. j. Broughton, Canadian Gov
eminent Agency, 1875 Adams Street,
Chicago: We had audacity enough to
tackle the proposition Of buying four
sections of land In Southern Alberta
thirty miles east Of Clairsholm and
heading up on the Little Bow, and our
two boys each got a homestead ad-
Joining. We fenced three sections and
the two homesteads, and built a house.
barn, corrals and granary, and have
since enlarged some Of these build
ings. We have broken 200 acres of
land, which has been sowed to oats
and wheat. During the severe winter
of two years ago the winter wheat
killed out somewhat and our crop
yielded only ten bushels to the acre,
but the spring wheat went "a bushels
to the acre. In this country we must
be prepared for storms and cold, at
times 20 to so below zero, yet on the
whole the winters are mild; and while
there are exceptional crops, it is fair
to say that the average farmer can
depend on having yield in average
years of from 20 to % bushels to the
acre for spring wheat; and winter
wheat in our immediate neighborhood
yields from % to 80 bushels to the
acre on the average.
We have now quite a bunch of
horses, over so in all, about $50 sheep.
after having sold 140 for mutton this
fall. We have 20 head Of pure bred
registered Shropshire, which are
worth $40 each. The average price
received for mutton sheep was $500
and little over. Pork brings and
6 cents a pound. We have about 80
head of cattle on our ranch now,
and last winter they picked their en-
tire living from our pasture, running
to the straw stacks for shelter at night
The increase Of land values has
been extraordinary. Our land four
years ago cost us little less than
$500 an acre. We have sold one sec
ton for $500, but we would not sell
any more for less than $500 per acre,
as we expect the railroad within four
miles of our ranch within the next IS
months. Southern Alberta of West
ern Canada is a mighty good country
for any man or woman who loves outdoor
life and who wants to get good re-
turns for their labor and investment.
I'VE have been pleased with our
treatment from the Canadian Govern.
ment, and can heartily commend South
ern Alberta as splendid country in
which to locate.
Yours very truly,
