not know of one single public man in
Canada who harbors such thought or
would ccuntenancc such Il suggestion.

However great might be the advantage

Cannot Nullify Allegiance.
Il do not for moment suggest that

true are the people of Canada to the
motherland that if they become con-
WINGED or even if their suspicious become

we must deal with absolute frankness
with each other Gin regard to this phase

manner In which the President of the
United States and the Secretary of State
have expressed themselves during the

Secretary Wilson confined himself to IL
discussion of some of the benefits he be-
lieved would accrue to the people of both
countries through the adoption of the
agreement.

The amendment was adopted without d

Sir Wilfrid Laurier said in part:

 his arms, while beneath that hypocrisy she had plotted his downfall a second time. Deliberately she had given the signal for attack, and now
 He heard again the quick, running step that he had recognized on the trail. The bushes behind him parted, and in the white starlight Meleese fell on her knees at his side, her glorious face bending over him in a grief that he had never seen in it before, her eyes shining on him with a great love. Without speaking she lifted his head in the hollow of her arm and crushed her own down against it, kissing him and softly sobbing his name.
 "Goodby," he heard her breathe. "Goodby, goodby"-
 He struggled to cry out as she low cred his head back on the snow, to free his hands, to hold her with him, but he saw her face only once more bending over him, felt the warm pres sure of her lips to his forehead, and then again he could hear her footsteps hurrying away through the forest.
 That Meleese loved him, that she had taken his head in her arms and had kissed him, was the one consuming thought in Howland's brain for many minutes after she had left him bound and gagged on the snow. That she had made no effort to free him did not at first strike him as significant. He still felt the sweet, warm touch of her lips, the pressure of her arms, the smother ing softness of her hair. It was not until he again heard approaching sounds that he returned once more to a full consciousness of the mysterious thing that had happened. He heard first of all the creaking of toboggan on the hard crust, then the pattering of dogs feet and after that the voices of men. The sounds stopped on the trail a dozen feet away from him..

of this road. If I go tonight will you go with me? Will you promise to be my wife when we reach Le Pas?"
 A look of ineffable tenderness came into the beautiful eyes so near to his own.
 That is impossible. You will not love me when you know what am what I have done"-
 He stopped her.
 "Have you done wrong, a great wrong?"
 For a moment her eyes faltered, then hesitatingly there fell from her lips: 'I-don't-know. I believe have. But it's not that-it's not that"
 "Do you mean that-that I have no right to tellAyou I love you?" he ask ed. ''Do you mean that it is wrong for you to listen to me? I-I-took it for granted that you were a girl that
 "No, no; it is not thatr' she cried quickly, catching his meaning. "It is not wrong for you to love me-" Sud denly she asked again, Will you please tell me what time it is-now?"
 He looked again.
 Twenty-Five minutes after mid night"
 ''Let us go farther up the trail." she whispered. "I am afraid here."
 She led the way, passing swiftly be yond the path that branched out to his cabin. Two hundred yards beyond this a tree had fallen on the edge of the trail, and, seating herself on it, Meleese motioned for him to sit down beside her. Howland's back was to the thick bushes behind them He looked at the girl, but she had turned away her face. Suddenly she sprang from the log and stood in front of him.
 "Now," she cried; 'tnowr' And at that signal Howland's arms Were seiz- ed from behind, and in another instant he was struggling feebly in the grip of powerful arms which had fastened themselves about him like wire cable and the cry that rose to his lips was throttled by hand over his mouth For an instant he caught glimpse of the girls white face as she stood in the trail; then strong hands pulled him back, while others bound his wrists and still others held his legs. Every thing had passed in a few seconds Helplessly bound and gagged. he lay on his back in the snow, listening to the low voices that came faintly to him from beyond the bushes. He could understand nothing that they said, and yet he was sure that he recognized among them the voice of Meleese.
 The voices became fainter. He heard retreating footsteps, and at last they died away entirely.
 In these moments that he lay on his back in the freezing snow a million de mons were born in his blood. The girl had betrayed him again This time he could find no excuse-no pardon for her. She had accepted his love, had allowed him to kiss her, to hold her in
