CHAPTER xxx.
Preparing the Way.

Mr.. Rice was taking Marion to Lon
don to see her relatives. He had de-
voted himself TO her interests with an
enthusiasm that was almost touching.
No mere professional interest could
have equaled the zeal which he threw
into the case 1t was not for gold or
kudos that he spent ~sleepless nights
and anxious and laborious days. Ii
was the rare and sweet personality of
his client that appealed to him. Had
his W little daughter lived she
would have been about Marion's age
and he pictured his W little Ruth
thrown motherless and fatherless
upon an unfriendly world. Not for a
dozen years had his lonely heart
been so touched. Had she been a few
years younger he would have adopted
her without more ado.
His first step was to get a paragraph
inserted in all the London papcrsl con-
tradicting the report OF Marion's
death which hal appeared previously.
He had a shrewd suspicion who had
inserted that report, but, being a eau
tious man, he kept his own counsel
and waited.
When three or four days had ELAPSED
and there was no sign from any one,
he took a journey to London and hunt
ed up the address of Lord Richard
Grovely. The marques of Fowey did
hot concern him for a moment. Lord
Richard was the interested party. His
brother Edwards English estate
would come to him if he died without
issue. Moreover, as next of kin he
would get his share OF the American
property, which was reported to be
considerable.
Mr.. Bice argued that the marques
of Fowey, being sufficiently rich al.
ready, would not worry himself about
his brothers property. Moreover, the
marques had the reputation of being
a very high-minded mana man who
would not stoop to a ann of any
kind.

women appeared to do--treat mar.
riage as a profession and let romance
and sentiment go by the board? He
grew cold at the thought. He was
still young enough to cherish ideals,
and yet old enough to know hat the
idols men Set up and ~worshiped had
too often not only feet Of clay, but
hearts OF clay also.
Il presume Mrs. and Miss Mawgan
are well?" he said to Marion when
she turned TO go.
Very well indeed. In fact, | never
saw Miss Mawgan look so we'll"
"She has been out OF doors a good
deal. | hear?"
Every day, as long as Mr.. Jackson
remained. You should see his motor
car; it is a beauty"
so I've. been told. I suppose Mr..
Jackson himself is very nice?"
Il shouldn't apply the word nice
to him exactly" she said, with a
laugh. Hes a big. kind-hearted man.
A little bit rough in some things, but
very likeable."
He seems 10 have enjoyed himself
at Mawgan Chase"
so much so that he is coming
again"
rs that SOP" he questioned, with a
slight catch in his breath.
He appears to be interested in
shipping and lighthouses, and | don't
know what else. Anyhow, from a
hint he dropped, business may bring
him down frequently during the next
month or two"
Il see. Thank you so very much
for calling. | hope you will get safe
ly through all your difficulties. and be
very happy"
And | hope you will soon be as
well and strong as ever. Goodby."
And with a radiant smile she was
gone.

why NOT Own LAND2
ONE OF THE BEST WAYS 70
MAKE MONEY Is TO INVEST
IN WESTERN CANADA.

Deep down In the nature Of every
properly constituted man Is the desire
to own some land" A writer in the
Iowa State Register thus tersely ex-
presses a ~well-known truth. The ques.
ton is where is the best land to be
had at the lowest prices, and this the
same writer points out in the same ar.
ticle. The fact is not disguised that
the writer has a personal interest In
the statement of his case, and there is
no hidden meaning when he refers to
Western Canada as presenting great.
er possibilities than any other part of
the American Continent, to the man
who is inclined to till the soil for a
livelihood and possible competence.
What interests one are the arguments
advanced by this writer, and when
fairly analysed the conclusion is
reached that no matter what personal
interest the writer may have had, his
reasons appear to have the quality of
great soundness. The climatic condi.
lions OF Western Canada are fully as
good as those of Minnesota, the Dako.
tas or Iowa, the productiveness OF the
soil is as great, the social conditions
established and as carefully observed.
In addition to these the price OF land
is much less, easier to secure. So, with
these advantages, why shouldn't this
the offer of Western Canada-be
embraced. The hundreds of thousands
of settlers now there, whose homes
were originally I'm the United States,
appear to be--are satisfied. Once in
awhile complaints are heard, but the
Canadians have spoken of the
country as an Eldorado no matter |
what they may have thought. The |
writer happened to have at hand a few
letters. written by former residents of
the United States, from which one or
two extracts are submitted. These go
TO prove that the writer I'm the Regis
ter has a good basis of fact I'm support
OF his statements regarding the excel
lency of the grain growing area of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
On the 29th of April of this year w.
X. Conley, of Lougheed. Alberta, wrote
a friend In Detroit. He y THE
weather has been just fine ever since
] came here In March. and | believe
one could find IL he wanted to some
small lunches of snow around the
edge of the lake. There is a frost near.
ly every morning: at sunrise It begins
TO fade away, then those blue flow.
9Fs open and look as fresh as II there
had been no frost for a week.
There Is nc reason why this country
should not become a garden of Eden;
the wealth is in the ground and only
needs a little encouragement from the
government to induce capital In here.
There is everything here to build
with: good clay for brick; coal under
meath, plenty of water in the spring
lakes. and good springs coming out Of
the banks"

A Trust.

Little William had planted some
castor beans in the back yard, and as
usual they grew very rapidly. Every
day he would take note how much
they grew. One day, while William.
his father and mother were seated at
the dinner table, William became ST.
lent and thoughtful, and after looking
a long while at his mother, then at
his father, turning to both in turn,
he remarked: Mamma, you're not
growing only me and the castor
beans"

INeurotic Jelly.

Little Wilbur was eating luncheon
with his mother. Presently she no.
ticed that he VAS eating his jelly
with his spoon. :
Wilbur. dear" she said to him,
"you must not eat your jelly with
your spoon"
Il have to, mother" he replied.
NO, dear, you don't have to. Put
your Jelly on your bread"
II did put 1t on my bread, mother
said Wilbur. "but II wouldn't stay
there; it's too nervous"

(To Be ~Continued.)
BUSY LOT OF BEAVERS.
Build Twenty-Five Dams and Hold Up
City Water Supply.

q S'ty wafer supply.
Superintendent Retallic of Mar.
q%uette's municipal lighting station,
who took several men to the Rainey
Creek country to open beaver dams in
order to release some of the water
held up by them so that the supply in
Dead river could be rep,enished, is of
the opinion that the busiest lot of
beavers to be found anywhere are at
home in the district.
In Rainey creek they have dams
about every 200 feet. About half a
dozen dams were opened, with the re-
suit that the level of water in Dead
river has appreciably raised, and at
that MIR. Retallic has now learned that
he missed the largest dams, located
higher up the stream.
There are twenty-five or more dis.
tinct dams in the creek. AS showing
the capacity of beavers for woodwork.
ing, the superintendent relates the fol.
lowing incident: Close to the power
station a family of beavers recently es.
tahlished themselves in the river and
constructed a roomy house. One morn.
ing the past week the men found five
trees that the beavers had cut down.
The stump of the largest was nine
inches through and the others were
not much smaller. The next morning
these trees had been cut up. branches
and all, and used by the beavers in
the construction Of their house. The
trunks had been cut accurately in four
foot lengths.
Beavers are protected by law, and
Of late years they have been rapidly
increasing IN numbers. There are hun.
dreds of them in the colonies estab-
lished in the Dead river district.

LANDS WITHOUT RESIDENCE.
Government Will Sell Remaining
Gregory County Tracts in the
Sprjnu

Gregory County Tracts in the
Spring.
Early next spring the lands remain
ing undisposed of in Gregory county
will be sold by the government, the
transfer going directly from the gov
eminent to the purchaser without resi-
dence. No person will be allowed to
purchase more than GAO acres. The
sale will be either at public auction
or by sealed bids. AS most of the
land which has not been taken by
homesteaders is rough and most of il
i'm small tracts scattered about among
homesteads, the purchasers will prob
ably be largely the holders of adjoin-
ing lands.
A report from the general land Of
flee showing the condition of Gregory
county lands Oct. 1, gives the receipts
at $1,169.612. At the time the bill
for the opening vas before congress,
the department insisted that the price
should be. high enough to reimburse
the government for the million dollars
which was to go to the Indians for
the land. The receipts have already
exceeded that amount. and more are
to follow. The amount left Oct. / to
be placed upon the market was 49,979
acres.
Prof. G.. G.. Wenzlaff, president of
the Springfield state normal school,
is the author Of a new book on psy-
chology which will shortly appear
from the press of Charles Merrill &
Co.. successor to Maynard. Merrill &
Co., of New York. Prof. Wenzlaff has
some ideas of his own on psychology,
some of which do not agree wholly
with the accepted idea in this field.
The book will be ready for sale in
May or June and is expected TO make
more than the ordinary stir in educa-
tional circles when it does appear.
