about getting back to work again. The
advertisements in the church papers
began to supply him with new in
terest; the possibilities of usefulness
opened up once more before him.
In August he found himself in Liv-
erpool, one of four curates, and the
least important of the four. He hal
little or no preaching to do, but much
visiting. The neighborhood was
squalid and drink-sodden, and his
work in consequence monotonous and
depressing.
Yet he was much happier than he
had been for long time. He was
doing something again, something for
himself and for others. His pay might
be only just sufficient to keep body
and soul together but that did ont
trouble him. He h>d never been used
to Injuries. Moreover, he felt that
those who followed the Nazarene
should be willing, if needs be, to share
povery with Him as we'll as toll.
He was looking down the pages OF
the Courier" one day, when his eye
alighted on list of passengers who
were sailing that very morning on
one of the Cunarders for New York.
He hardly knew what induced him to
run his eye down the list; he did not
feel at all curious about the matter.
Then suddenly he gave little start.
"Mr. James Bce,' then a little lower
down, Miss Marion Grovely," and
then Miss Esther Mawgan.'
He understood it all in moment.
Marion had to go to the states with
her solicitor to look after her prop
erty, and she had persuaded Esther
to accompany her.
He was out in the street and hail
ing cab almost before he knew what
he was doing.

the cabby; "and drive as you never

He saw her lips move. She was try

eyes spoke to him today as they had
never spoken before.
The distance widened Quickly, the
pure, sweet face became indistinct,
and then only a blurred shape. But
she was there, and that fact chained
| him to the spot.
The crowd On the landing place
quickly dispersed. A few remained
/ as if 10th to go. Perhaps they felt
! what he was feeling.
Each deck Of the great ship out in
midstream was lined with people; SO
much could be seen from the shore
but no single face could be distin

white handkerchief that fluttered for

only to the millionaire of many bust

not an expense as he has hitherto

MONEY MADE IN LIVE STOCK
IN CENTRAL CANADA.

w. J. Henderson, visiting Seattle,
writes the Canadian Government
Agent at Spokane, Wash, and says:
81 have neighbors in Central Canada
raising wheat, barley and oats for the
past 20 years, and are now getting
from the same land 20 to 80 bushels of
wheat per acre, 40 to 60 bushels of
oats.
ut was the first week of May when |
got my tent pitched, but the farmers
all around had finished putting in
their crops, so I only got fifteen acres
broke and seeded. They advised me
as it was late not to put in much
wheat, SO l put in five acres of wheat
and ten acres oats, One-half acre pota-
toes and vegetables All kinds of veg
etables grow well up there, sweet corn,
tomatoes, onions, carrots, peas, beans,
cabbage. My wheat yielded about 20
bushels per acre, for which l got rs
cents, others got so cents; oats
threshed 80 bushels per acre, for which
I got IS cents per bushel. You see |
was three weeks late in getting them
In, still I was satisfied.
From my observation, there is more
money made in stock such as cattle,
horses and sheep, as prices are high
for such, and it costs nothing to raise
them, as horses live the year around
out on the grass. In fact, farmers turn
their work horses out for the winter
and they come in fresh and fat in the
spring. Cattle live out seven or eight
months. They NOW the prairie grass
! and stack it for winter and give oat
straw. My neighbors sold steers at
$40 each, and any kind of a horse
that can pillow, from $4,000 up. raised
60 chickens and pigs, as pork, chick
ems, butter and eggs pay we'll and al
ways a good market for anything a
man raises, so I have every reason to
be thankful, besides, at the end OF
three years l get my patent for home
stead. I heard CT 10 homestead sell
ing for less than $4,000, SO where I'M
