A Mistake In Assassination.
Let his future be what 1t might,
Jack Keith would never again forget
the girl who hald the door open for
his passage with one hand, her other
clasped in his. Interested before, yet
forcing himself into Indifference now
that he knew who she really was, the
man made full surrender It was a
struggle that kept him from clasping
the slender figure in his arms, and
pouring forth the words of tenderness
which he sternly choked back. This
was neither the time, nor the place,
yet his eyes must have spoken, for
Hopes glance fell, and her cheeks
grew crimson.

turn this time, 40 II" she questioned,
her voice trembling.

The hall was deserted, but a few
men loitered In the office. Keith
recognized none of the faces, and did
not stop to make any inquiries of the
clerk. 1t was growing dark. the lights
already burning, and from the plash-
ing of drops on the window, 1t must
be raining outside Hawley would
surely have ended his call upon Miss
Maclaire long before this, and left the
hotel. However interesting his COM

must fill her evening engagement at

for supper and rest AS to the result

COSTS LESS THAN SIS
CENTS A BUSHEL TO
RAISE WHEAT In
CANADA.
A FREQUENT QUESTION AN
SWERED.

Western Canada probably suffered
less from weather conditions during
Tho year of 1911 than did almost any
other portion of the country Seeding
was most successful and the growing
conditions up to July were never bet
ter. Crops of all kinds showed won
derful growth at that time and were
universally good. but there was not
the usually excellent ripening weather
in August and the effects of this were
felt. Many fields that late in July
promised 40 and so bushels yield Of
wheat were reduced to 25 and 80 BUSH
els, while some of course gave the
full expectancy and others somewhat
less. The quality was also lowered.
In face of these conditions, it is found
that during the months of September
and October, the total amount of con-
tract wheat marketed and inspected
was about 20 million bushels, which
realized total of 1Sh million dollars,
the average price for this wheat be-
ing 97A cents; that below contract
for the two months was little over
Is million bushels, which at an aver
age price of 89k cents per bushel
realized a little over eleven million
dollars. or a grand total for all wheat
Of 35 million bushels, which realized
total of little over thirty-one mil
lion dollars.
On the first of November, there
was in the hands of the farmers Of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
for sale and seed about 100 million
bushels of wheat, from which fact
some idea may be had Of the value
of the wheat crop of 1911.
A careful canvass made by the Win
nipeg Free Press made of a number
Of men farming in large way indi-
Gates that even with the extreme ex-
pense of harvesting the crop, which
has been caused by the bad weather
and difficulty in threshing, wheat has
been produced and put on the market
for less than 55 cts. bushel. The
average freight rate is not over 10
cts. per bushel. This would make the
cost of production and freight 6S cts.
and would leave the farmer an actual
margin on his low-grade wheat Of
171a cts. and for his high-grade wheat
of 1919 cts; and though this is not
as large profit as the farmer has
every right to expect, It is profit
not to be despised, and which should
leave very fair amount of money to
ais credit when all the expenses OF
The year have been paid, unless the
value of low-grade wheat sinks very
much below its present level.

Modern Methods.

Moliere had written many plays to
ridicule doctors and medicine. Louis
XIV. heard that the author had, how

have small difficulty in convincing the

natural enough. and he did not blame
her.
