The Bayou Bridge and Cupid
By NELLIE CRAvEY GILMORE

With head bent and lips tightly COM
pressed, Matilda hurried swiftly past
the camp, down a steep clay road and
on to the bayou bridge that led to
rural delivery box No. 33, on the other
side.
1t was a gusty, disagreeable day. At
Intervals, the rain whipped down In
sheets. alternately slackening to
sticky, penetrating drizzle. The wind
lore at the willow branches that dipped
into the stream, and the waters of the
bayou writhed under its violence.
Half way across the bridge, an ag-
gressive gust suddenly seized the
girls umbrella and flung 1t viciously
Into the turbulent, black water Turn
Ing involuntarily, with futile grasp at
the flying parachute, Matilda abruptly
twisted her feet sideways, catching the
heel of her boot In a crack between
the planks. Just then, an angry
cloudburst broke relentlessly upon the
unprotected head of the hapless pris-
Dner, and with hands tightly gripping
the railing of the bridge, she waited,
with what patience she could COM
mand, for Ats fury to subside.
When at last she could get her
breath, she lifted her head and looked
about her, struggling frantically to re-
lease the mutinous heel. But to no
avail. Every jerk and pull seemed to
make 1t that much more secure. What
should she do?
She strained her eyes up and down
the bridge in desperation, but not a
human being was in sight. She wait
ed, perhaps fifteen minutes. Then
she stopped and made another wild
effort to dislodge the boot. In SO do
Ing, she wrenched her ankle, SO that
further attempts to free herself were
both painful and fruitless. With a
sigh she leaned against the railing
and bit her white lips to keep them
from trembling.
Presently the wind ceased, the rain
shrank back into the clouds, and the
lead of the sky broke up in patches of
blue and silver. With renewed hope,
Matilda scanned the road from east to
west And then, glory of glories! a
man was just heaving into view on the
brow of the hill opposite. She watched
him eagerly, thankfully. But as he
came nearer, near enough for her to
recognize the broad, straight shoulders

$4,000 IN ONE YEAR
THE IMMIGRATION TO CANADA
SURPRISES ALL RECORD.

The returns recently issued by the
Canadian Immigration Branch shows
that upwards of 325.000 persons ar
rived in Canada during the past
twelve months, declaring their inten-
ton of becoming settlers in that coun-
try. OF this number about 10000
were from the United States, the bal
ance being from the British Isles and
Northern Europe. 1t will thus be seen
that the sturdy farming element that
has gone forward from the United
States is being splendidly supplement-
ed by an equally sturdy settlement
from across the seas. The lure of
Canadian wheat, oats, barley and flax
grown on the rich prairie of Western
Canada is constantly attracting more
and more, and year by year the tide
of immigrants to the Western Canada
plains increases; there is no ebb to
this tide. The Canadian authorities
are not surprised at the number from
the United States being as large as it
is but they did not look for so large an
immigration from the old countries
Still, they will not be found UMPIRE
pared. Reception halls are in readi-
ness at all important points in Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, sur
veyors were at work during the past
season opening up new districts on
which to place those seeking free
homesteads of 100 acres each, rail-
ways have been projecting laterals
from their main lines, and every pro-
vision has been taken to accommo-
date the newcomer. A recent dis
patch from Antwerp reads: "The di-
version of European emigration from
the United States to Canada is said
to be seriously affecting the Atlantic
steamship lines. The Red Star today
gives up to the America-Canada line
two of the best special emigrant
Samland. These vessels heretofore
in the Antwerp-New York service are
now to be operated from Rotterdam to
Canadian ports.
On the date of the above dispatch
word came to the immigration branch
LAdt IAS u VI tuO 1OII al AAJ
of United States settlers reached Win
nipeg at 80 o'clock this morning.
There was solid train load Of eff
fects, comprising Al carloads and two
colonist sleepers attached to the train,
which contained the members of rs
families. Every man Jack in the
party is skilled farmer, and all have
come north prepared to go right on
the land, which was purchased last
year. They are equipped with every
thing chat experience has shown is
necessary to make a start on virgin
prairie. In addition to machinery and
household effects there were a large
number of horses and cattle. Some of
the farmers had also brought along
gas tractors, which will be put right
to work on ground breaking"
One of the agents of the Canadian
government advises that it would ap-
pear as if each month Of the present
year would show large increase over
the past year. The demand for the
literature of the department, describ-
ing the country ana its resources, ia
greater than it ever has been.

Heat, Energy and Eat

Protein starch, fat, sugar and fiber
are the nutrients that make up foods.
Protein is the only one from which
muscle and tissue can be made. The
others serve to produce heat, energy
and fat. Starch and sugar are about
equal in food value. The fiber in the
plant cut green has the same food
value as starch. Fats serve the same
purpose in the animal body as starch
but are more concentrated, having two
and one-fourtht times as much nutrt
ent in given weight.
