was quite evident that none Of them
had found favor in her eyes, and that
she was still free. He would enter 1t,
he decided; but how?
First of all, something must be done
to bring Gormly himself into the pub
lie eye In some other capacity, some
higher capacity, some more attractive
capacity, than that of mere retailer
OF ribbons. SO to speak; the public eye
for Gormly being Miss Haldanes liq-
uid orbs. And Gormley knew that the
way to private consideration is more
often than not through public inter
est He had to do something to tusti-
fly himself. therefore, to make himself
known in some enviable way; In short,
he determined to make himself worthy
of her And again the question arose;
but how?
He had thought vaguely Of the ra-
cling game. Of the most magnificent of
yachts OF the finest and speediest Of
stables, of the fastest string of auto
mobiles, of q thousand similar things
which he had dismissed as unworthy
OF his high purpose and inadequate to
his end; until finally, fortune favoring
him, he hit upon the field of politics.
Miss Haldane in some of those now
rather frequent conferences, had cas-
ually enough remarked that she liked
men who did things, who really &C
complished something for good in this
world.
Gormly instantly resolved to do
something Now if any man really
wants to accomplish good in this
world, there are few opportunities Of
greater possibilities than those pre-
scented in the political arena. There
is also no field in which it is harder
to accomplish the end. Gormly as a
political force was entirely unknown.
He was without experience. One
requisite, popularity considered vital,
he had, and, that was an abundance of
money. Another requisite he pos
sessed albeit unwittingly, was char
acter. And still third was his, and
that was Imagination coupled with
capacity-the ideal and the real; the
dreamer and the practical man in one!
An irresistible combination that!
Fortune was further kind to him,
however, for concurrently with his de-
cision she presented him with an
opening. Gormly's business was sutfi-
| GENTLY great to have enabled him to
extend 1t in several directions. He

WHO THE 4BLuENosEs" ARE
Exclamation That Possibly May End
a Mlsconceptlon That Has Been
Widespread.

.Iots of you folks in the States"
said Thomas F. Mccartney Of st.
John. N. B., the other day, "call every
body from the maritime provinces
'bluenoses.' That's not it at all. It's
only the Nova Scotians that we call
so. And it's not because the people
there have blue noses, either.
81 have met people here who really
thought that folks down east were so
called because their noses were al
ways blue on account of the cold, raw
climate they suppose prevails there.
1.-THE fact is the term 'bluenoses'
was first given to the Inhabitants of
the CORVALLIS valley, who were the
original raisers of potato called the
ebluenose from its blush skin. This
potato was shipped to the states in
large quantities, and the name of the
potato became the name of the people
who raised it,"

area of country that needed the rain
badly. The rain belt extended to
Chamberlain and intermediate points

went to the state line. Good rains are

These men knew each other and loved

their lighter hours Of rest they found
pleasure in the same pastimes.
