SYNOPSIS.

Three girls Elizabeth, Gabrielle and
Elise-started for Canada to spend the
summer there. On board steamer they
were frightened by an apparently dement,
ed stranger, who, finding bag belonging
to one OF them, took enjoyment in scru-
tinizing photo of the trio. Elise shared
her stateroom with Mrs. Graham, also
bound for Canada. The young women on
4 sightseeing tour met Mrs. Graham.

A cottage by the ocean was rented by
the trio for the summer Elizabeth

to call. Two men called one of them

hams hair was black. Lady Edith told
the girls Of robbery of jewels at the
hotel. Fearing for the safety of her own
gems, she left them in safe at the cot
tage. Mr.. Gordon Bennett was properly
introduced, explained his queer actions,
returned the lost bag and told of mysteri-

with the cottage Exploring the cellar,

ton, the exact counterpart of which both
Gordon Bennett and Lady Edith were
found to possess, also. Elise, alone, eX-
plored the cellar, overhearing CONVEX
sation there between Mary Anne and a
man. He proved to be her son, charged
with murder. The young women agreed
TO keep the secret. Lady Edith told a
story Of a lost love in connection with
the sphinx key. Elise and Gordon Ben

ham, the latter displaying a marvellous
baritone voice. At supper which was

We'll. really want to know"

The question had often been pro.
pounded to me, and / knew that a
definite answer would be merely
ground for argument.

she paused refiectivsiy perhaps you'd
better not answer after all. / would
hate to think Elizabeth did not care
as much for me as do for her, yet IL
doesn't seem to me she can. You may
laugh, but of course you don't under

Our paths separated. here. Gabrielle,
with her arms full of roses, went on
to the village while picked my way
carefully along the shore TO the rocks.
1t was useless to look again. as I
well knew, yet searched conscien-
tiously for some time, then sat down
to rest beside the ashes OF our last
nights fire. i really do not know of
anything more depressing than ashes
when one is rather tired and inclined
to be interpretive. They seem to
typify so remorselessly the inevitable
outcome Of human desires ana am

So I sat watching the glow of the
sunset, and thinking of many things
In a disconnected sort of way,
thought of Gabrielle and Elizabeth,
and Of their friendship which seemed
so wonderfully satisfying; l also re-
membered the shadows of the previous
night and my unnecessary agitation
over them. Then recalled Gabrielle's
parting words with something akin
to sigh. Perhaps, as she said, did
not understand, but / thought l did

felt very lonely in consequence. The
tide was low and the ocean calm and
embarrassing, so / turned my back to
it, preferring to watch the sun re-
luctantly surrender the world to, the
moon, which would soon come UP out
of the water just as it had done last
night.
Therefore l did not see two figures

EXTRAORDINARY INCREASE IN
FARM LANDS,
SOUTHERN ALBERTA is
MIGHTY GOOD COUNTRY

No stronger or better evidence can
be given of the merits OF 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 so to Western Canada
through the solicitation of Canadian
Government agent, who secured for
them the low railway rates.
"Carmangay. Alta, Canada, 12-15-'oS.
MIR. G. ]. Broughton, Canadian Gov
eminent Agency, 1856 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 eacn got homestead ad-
Joining. We fenced three sections and
the two homesteads, end built house,
barn, corrals and granary, and have
since enlarged some of these build
lngs. 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 80 below zero, yet on tho
whole the winters are mild; and while
there are exceptional crops, 1t Is fair
to say that the average farmer can
depend on having a yield in average
years of from 20 to rs bushels to the
acre for spring wheat; and winter
wheat in our immediate neighborhood
yields from 25 to 80 bushels to the
acre on the average.
We have now quite bunch OF
horses, over so in all, about $50 sheep
after having sold lao 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 s 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
crn Canada is mighty good country
Cor any man or woman 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.

which to locate.

Question

DO you know of any woman who received any
benefit from taking Lydia L. Pinkhams Vegetable Com
poundl"
If any who is suffering with any aiment peculiar
to her will ask her neghbors this question: she will be
surprised at the result There is hardly community in
this country where cannot be found who have been
restored to health by this famous old remedy, made
exclusively from simple formula of roots and herbs.
During the past 80 years have published thousands
of letters from these grateful who have been cured
by Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound and
in all that time have published testimonial without
the writer's special permission. Never have knowingly
published testimonial that truthful and genuine.
Here one just received few days ago. If anyone doubts
that this and honest statement of womans expert

and ask her.

The day had dragged heavily. My

OF course we had all visited the
rocks many times, separately and col

summer, and continued Intellectual

physical condition. He hoped we had
not allowed their departure to break
up the party.
We told him about the lost ring and
he listened with interest. I thought
his expressions of regret and offers of
assistance were unnecessarily ELUSIVE,
but then, as Gabrielle said afterward,
Mr.. Graham always went little too
far in everything.
After a while he took his departure,
saying he did not like to leave Mrs.
Graham long alone in her present
nervous condition. Gabrielle lifted the
roses and laid their heavy perfumed
heads against her face.
"They are beautiful" she said; but
what shall we do with them?"

After a little consideration we de-
cided to transfer the roses to Lady
Edith, and Gabrielle volunteered to
take them to her at once.

Coffee Was the Cause.

Many daily habits, particularly of
eating and drinking, are formed by fol-
lowing our elders.
In this way i'll health is often fas-

Il had been allowed to drink coffee
ever since / could remember, but even
as a child / had a weak stomach,
which frequently refused to retain
food.
"The taste of coffee was in my
mouth all the time and was, as found
out later the cause of the stomach re-
belling against food.

lowing the example of my elders that

rather amused.

Mr. Blake, producing 1t.

"Itwas of great benefit to me, as it
cured me of catarrh of the throat, and
took a very bad cold and had la

that when he gets a cold he takes Peru

cured him.
