 As he swung around the corner of the front door he caught sight of Q closed sleigh under the shed in the lee of the wind. It was drawn by two Jet black horses, one of which had a white star on it's forehead. The coachman and footman were busy adjusting the blankets and making the animals as comfortable as possi : ble. Chester recognized the Twiu- ing's 1ivery.s His numbed fingers tingled with the sudden rush of warm blood through his veins. He stepped across the threshold, and in the hall before the cheery open fire stood Edith.
 Chester started forward at the sight of her. She turned to him with a sudden glow that was not the effect of the icy blast which had swept in with him and driven the flames roar : ing up the chimney.
 .EYou!" she exclaimed in charming surprise.
 'sAnd, 1o,''said Chester radiantly. 'the white star on the forehead Of your off horse went before me, till it came and stopped at the place where you were.''

 He had not proceeded many rods before he heard the keeper calling:
 ''What is it?" he cried.
 Say" bawled the keeper against the wind, ''say you can have those two dollars at a reduced price,"
 'swhat an utter, futile, idiotic lack of common understanding that man exhibits" said Chester to the nearest ice-bound tree.
 Then he followed the tracks of the sleigh around the winding road which led into the heart of the park,-for Miss Foster had corra1led him to take some exercise. "Queer girl that" he reflected inwardly, "but she seems very friendly Which merely goes to demonstrate how little Chester knew about the opposite sex.
 Chester had had all the exercise he wanted by the time the fancied tracks of the sleigh already crossed by many others had led him over the broken and tramp1ed snow to the Casino. Numbed with cold, and out of breath, he resolved to go in side and indulge in a hot Scotch as a warming restorative.

 ''she is on my pension 1ist,'' replied Chester. "But how do you happen to be out in the park so early?''
 'rI love the snow,'' said Edith Twin ing.
 'The hippopotamus has done me an additional favor,'' observed Ches- ter.
 She's nice hippopotamus," anI swered Edith. 'tBut how dreadfuI1y irreligious you are. Do you claim 10 be one of the wise men of the East?'
 ''I only wish,'' said Chester vehe- mently, ''that I could have found a stronger simile.''
 The girl shrank back timid1y.
 q shouldn't be seeing you, you know" she said.
 ''It is not your fault" Chester as sured her. "I am under no pledge rot to see you if I can, and wanted to see you very much. I can't do without it.''
 "1 must be going" said Edith hastily.
 What? And leave me marooned in this desolate waste of snow? I should never get back alive.''
 "But Marie, my maid, is here with me. I couldn't come out in this weather alone.''
 CTS Marie mercenary?''
 "Pm afraid she is.''
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-03-08

Where is she?" inquired Chester.
 Inside shivering over a radiator. She does not enjoy the cold as I do.''
 Please call her.''
 There was command as well as en- treaty in Chester's voice.
 When the maid appeared he turned again to Edith.
 Ask her to telephone for a cab,'' he pleaded. ''she is cold, poor thing.''
 Marie said Edith, s'faites mo Is faveur de telephoner pour un cab. ct allez vous en chez nous Vous avez trop froid. J'ai peur que veus r'attrappiez une fluxion de poitrine."

 The latter question will always re- main unanswered. Chester deftly ef- fected the transfer of five dollar til1 to Marie's willing hand 'pour le cab,'' and the latter promptly forgot the objection she had raised.
 'I have never in my life had an opportunity to talk to you really alone,'' said Chester. as the maid de- parted. May come ?''

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 14.-Christie
Brogan, so years old, decrepit and des
titute, sat on a bench at the hall of
justice yesterday waiting for the aims
house bus.
Amerigo Nassano, who conducts a
saloon, was at the hall of justice to see
about his license. His eye lighted on
the aged man sitting with his head
disconsolately resting on his chest.
"There is the man." said Nassano,
"who left that bag of gold in my
saloon"
"This IS too good to be true" he
said. Il thought my money was gone.
Then 1 shall not be forced to go to
the almshouse. Even now / cannot re-

man."
A week ago Brogan came to the city
from Bakersfield with $3.50 in a bag.
When he visited Nassano's saloon he
was followed by two men whom Mas
sano suspected of designing a rob-
berry. The saloon man advised Brogan
to leave the money with him for safe
keeping, and the advice was accepted,

a nation with huge population which
is overcrowding the land available for

an American Ian waste every day what

that is only part of it. The chief
thing is to stop extravaganza and
waste and begin to live with more

another state and live on another. We
must stop living on our capital and,

CANADIAN CANAL PROJECTS
CALL FOR $200,000,000
Government Favors Two Plans
of Different Delegations

OTTAWA, Ont, Dec. 14.-Large dele
cations yesterday urged the govern
ment to begin work upon two canal
projects, either of which would involve
the expenditure Of 00,000.000.
An ottawa Montreal delegation fav-
ored the immediate construction of the
Georgian bay canal. 1t was urged that
a proposed deepening of the Welland
canal would be unwise because the i'm
provement in conjunction with the
building OF the Oswego canal, would
tend to divert the grain traffic Of the
Canadian west to New York, instead
of Montreal.
The second delegation, representing
towns in western Ontario, demanded
that the Welland canal be enlarged
first.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier said the govern
ment favored both projects.
