D1ERSISTENCY
L DRAWS BIG WAGES

Enough persistency to make something
else probable of accomplishment will al
most always finish the task in want adj
vertising. This quality of persistency
draws its biggest rewards in want adver-
tising--wins its surest laurels.
To "know when to quit" is important in
some things. To know when to KEEP
ON is important in want advertising. It's
the secret of the person who is called
"fortunate.''

not kiss? Such lips as those were
intended by an all-wise and merciful
Providence for kissing"
You'll jolly well change all those
ideas after you'd been here while"
replied Neville. You grow sick OF
yellow people after living with them.
AS far as I'm concerned, I'd as soon
kiss rat as Japanese girl"
WELL" said Hardy, to whom the
conversation was becoming distaste-
full, cts not the thing to discuss a
lady, even if we are in a foreign
country and observing and discussing
everything. l must insist, however,
that l should weary Of people like our
little friend opposite very slowly"
An idea occurred to Hardy-Neville
was so disagreeable, he would talk to
Miss Sano. He proposed the matter
to Masatsura, who informed him that
the young lady would be incredibly
honored. Masatsura addressed few
words to her and she smiled on Hardy

He sat down by her, and Masatsura,

and quaint suggestion of roguishness
! When night came on, Aisome-Ah-e'
some, so she was called-left the
compartment for the women's quar-.
ters and Hardy and Neville lay down
on the benches, which ran around the
sides of the car like the seats in a
Turkish house, instead of across it.

"The Japs are all thieves" replied
Neville. perhaps you were half

The Englishman did not appeal

CHAPTER III.
The Queen of Eairy.Land.

They were off for Aomori, at the
north end of Nippon, in the early
morning, leaving Yokohama on toy
train that started at GAS. All day
they travelled through a country titled
like a garden, country OF vivid
green, with many brawling streams
of water clear as crystal, and hillsides
thickly wooded. The sky was dark
blue, reminding one of the excess Of
color used sometimes by impressionist
artists, and seemed ever low and near
Objects evidently close by appeared

haps in fairy-land The frequent

on end. and were thatched with straw.
AS Hardy and his companion gazed
from the window, they were enter
tained by the running comment Of
their guide or dragoman, Masatsura
Tsuchiya, whom they had picked up at
Yokohama. This young Japanese had
spent several years in New York,
knew English, and was bright and
officious to the verge of pertness.
When a Japanese merchant and a
pretty young woman boarded the
train about the middle Of the day, it
was Masatsura who acted as intro
ducer and apologist.
This is Japanese silk merchant, "
he explained, and he is going with
his daughter to Hakodate. If the hon
orable gentlemen do not object, he
will bring his daughter in with us. l
have explained that such is the Gus
tom in England and America"
Bring her in, of course" said
Hardy, rising and making one of his
most graceful bows. I'VE shall be de,
lighted to have the lady's society"
This was translated to Mr.. Sano, the
merchant, who executed a series of
supple obeisances, and to the daugh-
ter, who arose and courtesied demure,
ly in Japanese style.
She's quite an acquisition, eh, Ne
ville?" observed Hardy. by the way
turning to Masatsura-"does either
of them speak English?"

ward part of the hold, came seething
from beneath and around the door
and through the cracks of the parti'
ton. Every time the ship listed tc
starboard, it reached tiny knot-hole
and spouted for several feet in
kissing stream.

muttered Hardy; "she will hold noW'

1 will climb on the table, on the di'
van."
It rose to his ankles, to his knees
and he got upon the table, and sat
there holding to the edges. The wind
began to subside somewhat, and he
could hear the ghostly, unearthly
noises made by the wreck itself;
meanings and groanings, creakings,
knockings, mutterings, whisperings,
the gurgle and seething Of the water
as it rushed in and out with the
rhythmical listing of the ship.
He climbed to the port-hole, opened
it and looked out. The early sun was
cleaning redly on sullen heaving
sea, The waves were whitening over
a long reef Perhaps, If he could pro-
cure something in the shape of stick
or pole that he could poke out of the
window, with his shirt tied to the

covered that the door was partly open.
He jumped down and waded to 1t,
thinking for the moment that the Jap
anese had come to release him. He
pushed the door open and gazed into
the dim hold, where mattresses and
planks from the berths were floating
about in rather dangerous confusion.
He gained the ladder, mounted and
stood upon the deck; there was no
sign of living soul. Evidently the
Japanese had gone off and left him to
his fate. The door, he had no doubt,
had been jammed open by the strain
ing and plunging of the ship. There
was land in the distance, faint coast
line, which he knew could not be that
of Russia, for the Shikoku Maru had
been out only few hours when she
struck. Hardy remained on the wreck
till nearly noon. He had about made
up his mind, should the crew return,
to let them get aboard, pick them of
with his revolver and take to the sea
with their boat, when he discovered a
steamer approaching. He signaled her
and she sent a small boat that took
him and his baggage off. She was a
Russian steamer, bound for Vlad
ivostok.

immediate danger of drowning. Har-
dy's position was uncomfortable In
that there was not level surface In
the entire room for him to rest on.
Man, inferior in this respect to a cat
or a fly OF a worm, becomes next to
helpless when his standing-ground Is
tilted.
There was at last more violent
upheaval than any before. The ship
plunged and settled. leaving the cab
in floor nearly level. Hardy sprang
to his feet.
"She has either broken her back"
he cried, cor she has gone over the
reef and settled in the shadows"
She listed to port and rocked gently
from side to side, rendering it impos-
sible for him to stand without holding
to something. And now the water.

QUANTITY, QUAIL
ITY AND PRICE"
THE THREE ESSENTIALS THAT
ARE GIVING WESTERN CANADA
Greater Impulse Than Ever This Year.

THE THREE ESSENTIALS THAT
ARE GIVING WESTERN CANADA
Greater Impulse Than Ever This Year.
The reports from the grain fields Of
Central Canada, (Which comprises the
Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta) are to hand. The year
1909 has not only kept pace with pre-
vious years in proving that this por-
ton of the Continent is capable of
producing a splendid yield of all the
smaller grains, but it has thoroughly
outstripped previous seasons. There
is quantity, quality and price and from
all parts of an area of about 100000
square miles there comes the strong
refrain of contentment and satisfac-
ton. In the distribution of the con-
ditions causing 1t no district has been
overlooked.
Various estimates of the total yield
of wheat for the country have been
made, but it Is not the vast total that
influences the general reader so much
as what has been done individually.
The grand total-say 130 million BUSH
els-may have its effect on the grain
price of the world; it may be interest
| ing to know that in the worlds mar
kets the wheat crop of Canada has
suddenly broken upon the trading
boards, and with the Argentine, and
with Russia and India, is now a fac
tor in the making of prices. If so to-
day, what will be its effect FIVE or ten
years from now, when, instead Of
there being seven million acres under
crop with a total yield of 125 or 1870
million bushels, there will be from II
to 80 million acres in wheat with a
yield of from 1876 to 600 million bush
els. When it is considered that the
largest yield in the United States but
slightly exceeded 700 million bushels,
the greatness of these figures may be
understood. Well, such is safe fore
cast, for Canada has the land and it
has the soil. Even today the Prov
ince of Saskatchewan, one of the three
great wheat growing provinces of Can
ada, with 100000 acres under wheat,
produces nearly 80 million bushels, or
upwards of one-tenth of the greatest
yield of the United States. And Sas-
katchewan is yet only in the begin
ming of it's development. AS Lord
Grey recently pointed out in speaking
on this very subject, this years crop
does not represent One-tenth of the
soil equally fertile that is yet to be
brought under the plough.
Individually, reports are to hand
of yields of twenty-five, thirty and
thirty-five bushels to the acre. Scores
of yields are reported of forty and
some as high as sixty bushels. The
farmer, who takes care of his SOIL
who gets his seed-bed ready early, Is
certain of a splendid crop.
The news of the magnificent crop
yield throughout the Canadian West
will be pleasing to the friends of the
thousands of Americans who are resi-
dents in that country and who are
vastly instrumental in the assistance
they are rendering to let the world
know it's capabilities.

Why Kidney Disease is Dangerous

Kidney disease is dangerous because it
comes on unawares and progresses to
fatal stage before the sufferer realizes
what the trouble is.
If you begin to run down, feel badly,
have indigestion, inactive Liver, etc., you
have reason to suspect that your Kidneys
are affected and special Kidney treat
ment should be taken at once. Delays
are dangerous. Rydale's Kidney Remedy
is the best remedy known for the Kid
neys. 1t never fails to restore them to
health. Rydale's Kidney Remedy will
cure Bright's Disease if taken before too
much of the Kidneys are destroyed. The
remedy can do no harm if your kidneys
are not the cause of your ill-health. It's
the safest remedy if they are the cause.

The Stomach cannot rest

1t is mistake to suppose the stomach
can rest and thus recuperate and by this
the dyspepsia is cured. The digestive
process begins in the mouth and does
not end until the food has reached the
intestines. The salvary glands in the
mouth, the stomach, lower stomach,
liver, spleen, etc., take part in the diges-
tive process. This process is going on
continuously. Think of resting the heart
or the lungs for a few minutes, or any
other organ. Pepsin pancreatin, etc., do
not rest the stomach. they digest the
residue of food weak digestive system
cannot digest and thus relieve the body
of irritating acids or gas. Rydale's Stom-
ach Tablets contain just enough Pepsin
and Pancreatin to do this. They also
contain many vegetable tonics and stimu-
lants for the digestive tract. Rydale' S
Stomach Tablets cure dyspepsia the only
way it can be cured. Ask us about them.
