BY the door through which q brief
Wnlle ago coronery and jury, also Luke
and MI Dobson had fled put-the door
which apparently gave in the direction
OF the mortuary-a small group in
shabby clothes had just entered the
court room, escorted by one of the
ushers. The latter made his way to
the coroner's table and whispered to
mai gentleman somewhat apimatedly.
Louisa could not catch what he said,
put h saw that the coroner, sud
denly lost his morose air of habitual
ennui, and appeared keen and greatly
interested in what he heard.
He gave certain instructions to the
usher. who beckoned to the group in

with ttmid, anxious gait, a world Of
unspoken apologies in their eyes as
they surveyed the brilliant company
through which they bad to pass. The

the attention of n of them-a young
girl with round black eyes and highly
decorated headgear; she nudged her

who they were.
That they. were personages of impor-

the fact that the usher was bringing

Lady Ducies was leaning forward and
had contrived to catch Luke's ear.
He turned round very politely.

center north. Speaking of this part
a writer, who made the trip when the
crop was in its green stage, said:
Just now, the whole country is a
beautiful sight, as it presents itself in
full dress Of living green, varied in
shade, many places elegantly fringed
and in%terspersed with pleatings of
s~hrubbery and patches of sweet scent

scarlet, cardinal and purple. In trav-

is heavily matted with grass, mixed
with vetches and pea vines, nearly up
to the knee, n many millions Of
acres of which are going to waste
while beef, pork and mutton are soar
ing at prices heretofore unknown. The
comparatively small acreage under cul-
tivation reminds one of a few small
garden patches.
When we consider the estimated
crop Of 300, 00U,O 900 bushels Of wheat
for 1912, to be produced on these west
ern prairies from these garden patches,
some faint idea a be formed by an
imaginative mind as to the immense
possibilities and rich heritage of a glo-
rious western Canada"
The estimate Of the wheat crop. as
made by the writer quoted, is excess

Willing to Wait for Good Time.

A woman who for twelve years has
conducted a boarding house in Chi
cago, and who takes pride in telling
that "boarders usually stay until they
get married and then send some n
to fill the place made vacant by mat
rimony," anticipated possible com
plants because of smaller portions
of meat by placing a neatly written
notice in the dining room which stat
ed that the price of beef, mutton and
veal had advanced to figures which
had not prevailed since the Civil war,
and that everything is high in pro-
portion. There has never been any

have now become SO we'll known
throughout the world, and the vacant
area of splendid land is still SO great
that it may be expected that the num-
bers mentioned will increase from
year to year, and it will not be many
years before the immigration figures
will reach the million mark.
1t may be asked what is there to
warrant this large immigration? With
millions Of acres of land, capable of
producing twenty-five to forty bushels
CT wheat to the acre; or, If in oats,
from forty to ninety, and even as high
as a hundred bushels per acre, or the

newer settlements year by year, and
leave room still for the hundreds of
thousands who will follow. There re-
mains not only the agricultural wealth
OF the country, but there are also the
social advantages, the home-making
privileges, apart altogether from the
financial opportunities, there is the life
and the energy born from the knowl-
edge that the settler is more than a
unit in the upbuilding, in the making
of a country that will soon rank
amongst the first in the nations of
the world. There Is no desire on the
