log beside Antipater, and they wept
in unison, until Antipater's tears ran
down into the flute and made it
snrgle like a juicy pipe.
Antipater did not know whether he
loved the carp more because 1t was q
soulful carp or because it was the last
resting place OF the dancing worm
he only knew he loved it. Sometimes
he looked upon the carp as a sort of
finay graveyard in which the late
worm reposed, and sometimes, as the
poet says. .. .--.. .r 81.

A simple carplet was to him."
but he loved the carp more and more
as the days went by. and made it his
constant companion. OF course there
were difficulties. The carp could not
stay out of the water long at time.
1t would hop out and love up to An
tipater until it got red in the face for
lack of breath. and then it would hop
into the crock again and breathe, and
when it had breathed 1t would hop
out again. and snuggle up to Anti
pater. Often it showed. by its actions,
that it would like to follow Antipater
home, but it knew better than to get
far from the water. and when Antipa-
ter went it would flop a few yards
with him and then wave him a fare

1t is quite true that the early au

sion that the short frock of Paris
would not be accepted; but winter
styles show the extra short skirt
everywhere.

played the flute. when a black and
white form burst from the bushes. 1t
was a dog. and Antipater saw it was
foaming at the mouth. 1t would have
been an easy matter for the carp to
have plunged into the creek. but when
it saw the dog making for Antipater
the faithful creature sprang lightly
between Antipater and the dog. By
the time Antipater could seize a rock
and kill the dog the faithful carp was
severely bitten, but it made light of it
and wagged its tail cheerfully.
Last Monday when Antipater went
down to the creek with his flute he
saw a sad sight. The carp, with glar-
ing eyes and fOaming mouth, was try
ing to flop as far as possible from the
water. having the hydrophobic fear of
it, and Antipater saw there was moth
ing he could do. If the carp was put
into the water it would have a
paroxysm and die. and if 1t stayed
away from the water it would die for
lack of breath. So Antipater drew out
his flute and played when Johnnie
Comes Marching Home" and the carp
arose On its tail and danced one or
two wiggles and dropped dead. That
same afternoon Antipater Phipps took
his aute to the plumbers and had the
touch holes plugged up. He says he
will never play again.

A MYSTERY.

Belinda has a gentle face
And spiritual style.
She moves about with languid grace
And wears a plaintive smile
And yet she'll eat a box or two
OF candy ere each day Is through,
And sections vast Of pie and cake
And everything they broil or bake
And all the while her glance will CLEAN
With delicate, disdain
AS II her life was but a dream,
Beyond this earthly plane.
Our rugged ways we all lament
With genuine distress.
She seems . chiding vision sent
OF feettnG l0veliness.
But half the salad she devours
Would keep a man awake for hours,
And frozen sweets. CONNECTIONS rare
Are her persistent bill Of fare.
And still she fades until we fear
Belinda viii take flight
And only leave behind her here
A haunting appetite.

Those who have seen Antipater
Phipps on the streets Of Betzville re-
Gently have noticed his sad mien and
the eightinch band of crepe around
his hat. and nearly all have known his
loss, but few know how deeply Antip-
ater has suffered. About a year ago
Antipater was learning to play the
flute. and one evening he was sitting
on his front steps with his legs
crossed and fiuting away for all he
was worth, when he happened to
glance down and saw a sight which
surprised him. Just before him. on
the walk a fishworm, as We call them
in Betzville. or an angleworm, as they
are sometimes called when spoken of
at oEe of Aunt Rhinocolura Bettz's
sv Ell functions. was standing on its
tail swaying gently to the sweet
strains of the flute, on which Antipa-
ter was playing when Johnnie Comes
Marching Home" .
Antipater had heard of snake charm
ers. but he had never known that a
lishworm could be charmed in the
came way, and he was so interested
that he played on until the fishworm
was 50 exhausted with its continued
dancing that it fell painting at his feet.
And even then. when Antipater went
on with the music, the worm would
hop onto its tail and wiggle few
weak wiggles until 1t absolutely
couldn't wiggle any more. When Anti
l,ater did up his flute and started into
the house the worm tried to hop up

the steps after him, but it did not
have enough resiliency. or spring. SO
Antipater had to lift 1t up the steps.
when Antipater went to bed the worm
curled itself up meekly on the floor
and slept there very soundly. for it was
quite worn out, it had danced SO hard.
The next day as soon as Antipater
invoke he saw the worm, and all that
day he played the flute to it, and so
on into the night, but about three
O'Clock in the morning committee
,0f neighbors came i'm and told Antip-
:ater that If he did not stop fiuting i'm
Hediately and forever they would let
poles on which to be hung. They
told him that If he was anyone else
they would not even allow him to
choose the pole, but seeing that it was
him, he could have his choice. So
the day after that Antipater did not
flute at all.
The fishworm hung around all that
day in a coax;ng attitude. just beg
xing Antipater to start up when

Antipater did not dare. He repulsed
the worm coldiy and told it to scoot

and then Antipater saw a sigh pass
from one end of it to the other. and it
started in q straight line for the creek
and cIawled into the water. When
Antipater saw what the worm was do
ing he made dash for it, but he was
too late: just as he reached the water
a big German carp dashed up and
swallowed the worm. Antipater wept
with remoFse. There was nothing
much else that he could do. for when
a carp swallows worm, it is. as
might te said. good-by worm.
But Antipater did what he could to
make reparation. Every evening he
would steal down to the bank of the
creek to the spot where the worm had
disappeared. and play when Johnnie.

tones. For the first two or three eve
nings nothing happened. 1t took that
long for the carp to thoroughly digest
the worm and assimilate it into its be-
ing, probably, but when the worm be-
came really a part Of the carp. the
carp felt it. The third evening, as
Antipater Phipps was playing his sad
requiem the old carp stuck its head
out of the water, and rolled its sad,
large eyes. and the tears poured out
of then. The next night the carp vas

SILHOUETTES OF
WESTERN CANADA

The man from Iowa began to talk
land before the train was well out Of
the C. N. r. depot in Winnipeg. The
talk began IN rather wide circles. The
rush to the land, the bumper crop. the
system OF summer following pursued
in the semi-arid districts, were all
discussed. and then. with a sort Of
apologetic smile, the Iowa man said:
I'm bit interested In this country
myself. Some Of the men down home
got few sections up here along this
line. and I'm going to have look at
them. Never been up in Canada be-
fore lit Is curious how these mid
western Americans pronounce the
name of the Dominion as if 1t was
"Can'dy")-"but IL it looks good we
will be up to stay next fall"
You see, it's like this" said the
man from Iowa-quite manifestly con-
tinuing an argument that had been go
ing on In his mind for some time.
Back in our State land has become
dear. Anybody wanting to sell can
get SO or $50 an acre for 1t, and
every farm that's offered is snapped
up. In Saskatchewan we have Just al
good land that cost US 81 and 81, 50

times as much there as In Iowa or the
same Investment of money.

The invasion Is family affair We
have no chance Of keeping our sons
around US back home. They have
to leave the farm and go into the big
cities Of the neighboring States to get
work. To keep them ON the farm and
in touch with us. we come up here
and make little colonies with the chill
dren around us, ON homesteads or
bought land. This makes II easier for
the farmers back there In Iowa to get
land for the stay-at-homes. The fam
lilies that come to Canada are kept
together and the families that buy
the farms they leave are kept to-
gether. too. There won't be any slack
ening of the rush. either, for they still
raise big families back In Iowa"
One could almost see the mental
process of this typical American farm
er in defending a step that meant q
new flag, new allegiance, a new
land, and new associates. To aban-
don Old Glory of the Declaration Of
Independence for a good thing In
cheap land would hardly be playing
the game. but to go out into Sas-
katchewan to keep the family togeth-
er," was another and q quite higher
motive.

reasons for the greatest land trek In
the history of America? 1t Is enough
