1t was passed over without COM
ment. 1t was a sealed envelope ad-
dressed to Mr.. Charles Winthrop Ran
kin. Mr.. Grimm glanced at the SUI
prescription, tore the envelope into
bits and dropped it into a basket. A
minute later he was assisting Miss
Thorne and the prince into an auto
mobile that was waiting in front. AS
the car moved away two other auto
mobiles appeared from corners near
by and trailed along behind to the
station. There a private compart.
ment-car was in readiness for them.
1t was a long, dreary ride-a ride
of utter silence save for the roar and
clatter Of the moving train. Mr..
Grimm, vigilant, implacable, sat at
ease; Miss Thorne, resigned to the
inevitable, whatever it might be,
studied the calm. quiet face from be-
meath dropping lids; and the prince,
~sullen, scowling, nervously wriggled in
his seat. Philadelphia was passed,
and Trenton, and then the dawn be-
gan to break through the night. It
was quite light when they rolled into
Jersey City.
I'm sorry for all the Inconvenience
have caused" Mr.. Grimm apologized
to Miss ThOrne as he assisted her to
allght. You must be exhausted"
III 1t We're only that" she replied,
with a CIjUhf emilia nA~l &C. - IT,

The prince turned quickly at the
question.

pool at ten O'clock said Mr.. Grimm
obligingly. Meanwhile let's get some
coffee and a bite to eat"
Are you going to make the trip
with u.s." asked the prince.
Mr.. Grimm shrugged his shoulders.
Weary n spiritless they went
aboard the boat, and a little while
later they steamed out into the stream
and threaded their way down the bay.
Miss Thorne stood at the rail gazing
back upon the city they we're leaving.
Mr.. Grimm stood beside her; the
prince. still sullen, still scowling, sat
q dozen feet away.
This is a wonderful thing you have
done. Mr.. Grimm said Miss Thorne
at last.
Thank you." he said simply. 1T

he indicated the skyline of New York.

have destroyed it. because in the
world-war that would have been the
first point OF attack"

CANADA'S IMMENSE
wheat FIELDS
n ATTRACTION FOR THREE
TRANsCONTINENTAL RAIL.
WAYS.

Last August there visited the Cana
olan west the ' president Of the
largest individual hardware company
In the United States. AS his firm have
a turnover of millions, and deals ex.
tensively with farm implements. this
man took a deep interest in crop con-
dlt1ons in Canada, and on his return
he embodied his findings in an article
for the Hardware Reporter. This ar
ticle should be of special interest to
farmers.
The writer speaks of the importance
OF the spring wheat crop of Western
Canada. He might also have spoken
of the Importance of the oat crop and
also or the winter wheat crop, as well
as barley. Winter wheat during The
past few years has been a great sue
cess, and experiments have shown
that it can be grown with success in
almost any portion of the three prov
1nces Of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta. But apart from this, the
spring wheat crop is the one generally
grown, and all who know anything of
grain, anyone who has had anything
to DO with markets. knows or has
heard of the high character Of this
cereal and the splendid yields that are
annually produced. Reproducing from
this article:-
I'm a LAND Of such great sweep, and
OF such difference in soil and climate,
there are many resources, but none
are at present of the same overwhelm-
Ing Importance as the spring wheat
crop. In the interminable prairie
stretches OF the northwest provinces
1t is he one absorbing topic Of inter-
est and OF conversation during it's
growing and it's harvesting, for upon
Its success or failure hangs the veal
or woe of a large part Of the Domin-
lon. It's influence extends far down
n the United States, drawing thou
sands Of farmers northwards with the
lure Of cheap lands, but likewise be-
yond the great lakes, even to the easy
going maritime provinces, calling the
flower OF their young men to it's op-
portunities. Development in these
prairie provinces goes on at high pres

emboldened the raisers of this one all
important crop, and each year there
is further incursion into those north
ern fields that only a short time ago
were regarded as Arctic wastes. The
Canadian Northwest seems to be one
of those modern agricultural examples
set forth to drive the final nail in the
coffin of that ancient Malthusian de-
fusion that population tends to outrun
the means of subsistence, since the
only fear now among Canadian econ
omists is as to the danger Of over
stocking the wheat market. Only
about two and one-half per cent OF
possible arabic lands in the northwest
provinces is now under cultivation,
and this year the crop promises to
be close to 200, O0O, 900 bushels, so
that your imagination and your arith-
metic can easily supply the answer as
to the possible or even probable out.

During the months of July and Au-
gust the weather was unfavOurahle
and the production of a 200 million
yield of wheat will not likely be real
lied, but ever with this, the threshing
reports coming to hand show hat the
crop will be a splendidly' paying one.
