History of A Handbag
By ELLA RANDALL PEARCE

'Ill take this one" said Bruce
Bowie, lifting a handbag from tho
counter where dozen or more We're
laid out for inspection. Can you put
~ in box for me-
Sure" smiled the obnging sales
woman, for youES Bowie was good TO
look upon and his voice rang pleasant
ly. He was looking abstractedly over
the top OF her elaborate blonde coli
fure. however; SO she switched down
white pasteboard box, dropped the
handbag within, and, swapping on the
cover, passed L mp to tho wrapper az
the end of the counter.
As soon as he had received his
package, Bruce FASTENED away. uncon-
scious OF the following glances OF the
pretty and somewhat netled young
saieswoman.
He's got sweetheart and that's a
present for her" mentally commented
the girl behind the counter; and as
the broad shoulders and erect dark
head OF her late customer disappeared
i'm the crow0, she became conscious Oh
a high agitated voice being directed
at her across her wares.
Miss. have You seen anything OF
my handbag? / left it here few
moments ago.
The saleswoman swept q hurried
glance over the assortment OF bags
before her; then her face crimsoned.
She made a pretense OF looking over
the goods, and her heart beat wildly
as she considered the possible cOnse-
quences OF her own inattention.
Your bag An't here" she faltered.
Il don't know anything about It.
Better make complaint at the desk,
and leave your name"
Meanwhile, as the GgitGtod sales
woman suspected, young Bowie was
carrying off the property. The first
intimation he had of the truth, was in
telephone call from his married SIS
ter, ten minutes after she had received
a package delivered by messenger
on the morning Of her birthday.
Bruce. is this you? What does II
mean-that bag you sent me?'
Whats the matter-don't YOU like
it? You wanted one Of those Japan
ese things on cord so / bought"
Bought? Why, Bruce. it isn't a
new bag at all. It's somebody s.
don't you understand"
What" shouted Bruco. Then. Ma

INCREASE IN NUMBER
OF AMERICANS
GOING TO CANADA

Although Western Canada suffered,
as did many other portions of the
west, from untoward conditions, which
turned one of the most promising
crops ever seen in that country, into
but little more than an average yield
OF all grains, there is left in the
farmers hands, big margin of profit
OF course there We're many farmers
who were fortunate enough TO harvest
and'market a big yield. and with the
prices that were secured made hand
some returns. From wheat, oats. bar
ley and flax marketed TO the 1st OF
January, 1912, there was a gross rev
enue of $75.3S4O00. The cattle, hogs,
poultry and dairy proceeds brought
this UP to $101 100000 or II million
dollars in eXcess of 1910. There was
still in the farmers hands at that
time about 80 million bushels Of wheat
worth at least another sixty-five mil
lion dollars (allowlng for inferior
grades), besides about 160 million
bushels OF cats TO say nothing or Ear-
ley and fax, which would run into sew
eral million of dollars.
There is a great inrush of settlers
10 occupy The vacant lands through
cut Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Al.
herta. The reports from the Govern
ment show that during the pass year
upwards of 131 600 Americans crossed
the border into Canada. A great many
Of these took UP farms, over ten thou-
sand having homosteaded, in fact the
records show that every state in the
Union contributed. A larger number,
not caring to go SO far away as the
hoLesteading area, have purchased
lands at from fifteen dollars an acre
TO twenty-five dollars an acre. The
prospects for a good crop for 1912
are as satisfactory as for many years.
The land has had sufficient moisture.
and with q reasonably early spring, it
Is safe to predict a record crop.

your Office? o. you dear, Of course
know you'll make it all right with me.
Get one as near like it as you can
and an empty one this time"
Nathalies laugh rang merrlly over
the wire, and Bruce was smiling as he
hung up the receiver; but his brows
drew together in q perploxed irown
as he opened the handbag half an
hour later and looked over the con-
tents.
The papers were important legal
