Meanwhile 1 babbled on with Miss
Pat. Her phrases were, however, a

I walked with her from the pier to

Sister Margaret, who had observed
the procession from an upper window,

How is Helen ?'' asked Miss Pat at
once.
She is very comfortable replied
the sister. 81 went up only moment

Miss Pat turned and gave me her
hand in her pretty fashion.
You see, it could not have been-it

There was no mistaking her relief;
she smiled upon me beamingly as /
stood before at the door.
"Of course! On fete night one
can never trust ones eyes."
But it was all be wilderingly beau
tiful. You are most compassionate to-

SO, 900 AMERICAN
SETTLERS GO
TO CANADA
THE YEAR 1909 HAS SHOWN AN
INCREASE OF OVER EIGHTY
PEA CENT IN AMERICAN
SETTLEMENT.

Recent advices from Canada, our
next door neighbour, the neighbourly-
country across the boundary line.
are that upwards of ninety thousand
settlers from the United States went
into Western Canada during the past
year, most of them for the purpose of
taking up and settling upon the va
cant lands, 160 acres of which are
given free by the government, and
lands adjoining held by railway and
land companies are selling at from
nine to fifteen and twenty dollars per
acre. Even if thirty and forty dollars
per acre were paid, the price would be
low, as the lands produce wonderfully.
and at these higher figures there is q
large interest on the money and labor
invested. The ninety thousand set
tiers of last year, followed about sixty
thousand of the previous year. and for
several years the number has been
running into these large figures. There
must be a reason for it. 1t may be
found in the single phrase, they are
satisfied. Nothing attracts people
more than the success of others, and
the news of this reaching other thou.
sands, causes them to investigate. The
investigation in this case is always
satisfactory. The splendid land OF
Iowa, of Indiana, of Nebraska, Kansas,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio
and other States has risen to a high
value, and it is worth every dollar
asked for it. But there is not room
now for all on these lands. With the
ever increasing demand for grain,
there comes the ever increasing de-
mand for land. Canada is the only
country on the continent in a position
to supply it. Land there that costs,
say fifteen dollars an acre, produces
on reasonable calculation, Is bushels
of wheat to the acre, or about $4,000.
The most liberal calculation as to cost
makes the cost to produce $3.50 per
acre, leaving a balance of $3.50 per
acre. The $3.50 carries good wages
for the farmer, and all Other. conceiv-
able contingencies. With conditions
like this, covering the entire area of
about 100000 square miles, it is read
lily understood why 10000 Americans
should follow the sixty thousand of
the previous year. Canadian Govern
ment Agencies at different points in
the Union are always ready to give in
formation regarding the free home
stead lands, ready to advise the set
tier as to the districts which would
suit him best.

CHAPTER XII.
The Melancholy of Mr.. Gillespie

I laughed a moment ago when, in
looking over my notes of these affairs,
I marked the swift transition from
those peaceful days to others of re-
newed suspicious and strange events.
I had begun to yield myself to blan-
dishments and to feel that there could
be no further interruption of the idyllic
hours I was spending in Helen Hol-
brooks company I still maintained,
to be sure, the guard as it had been
established; and many pipes I smoked
on st. Agatha's pier, in the fond belief
that I was merely fulfilling my Office
as protector of Miss Pat, whereas
had reached a point where the very
walls that held Helen Holbrook were
of such stuff as dreams are made of.
The only lingering blot in the bright
calendar of those days was her meet
ing with Gillespie on the pier, and the
fact that she had accepted money
from him for her Fascally father But
even this / excused. 1t was no easy
thing for a girl of her high spirits to
be placed in a position of antagonism
to her own father; and as for Giles
pie, he was at least friend, abundant
ly able to help her in her dificult po-
sftion, and if, through his aid. she had
been able to get rid of her father, the
end had certainly justified the means

good antecedents who was desperate
enough to attempt murder for profit

Men Quit Work.-Workmen
Win One Victory.

Three hundred thousand organized
miners of the bituminous coal fields
of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, ILL
nois. Iowa. Missouri, Kansas Okla
homa and Arkansas quit last night.
The miners members Of the Unit
ed Mine Workers of America, de-
clared the valkout was not strike,
but merely suspension Of work
pending an arrangement between
themselves and the operators of
wage scale for another year, the old
scale having expired with the month

certain changes IN working eondi-
tions. 3:t
Confidence was expressed by the
operators that there would be no
general shortage, large supplies Of
fuel having been secured in advance.
May Mean Long Idleness.
While the miners predicted the
suspension would be cut short by
prompt signing Of wage scales, some
of the operators maintained that
the mines might be kept closed for
a month or 60 days or longer.
The conditions in the various
States were as follows:
Illinois hundred mines clos
ed and $4,000 miners quit work at 5
