ONCE MORE THE OBVIOUS.

ONCE MORE THE OBVIOUS.
You don't suppose for a moment, I
low her mind to dwell on such horrors.
Mysterious crimes In strange cities
and In London, too, for a matter Of that
are, alas! Of far too frequent occur
renee to be quite as startling as they
should be.
A day or two later, Louisa Harris
and her aunt, Lady Ryder, crossed over
to England. They had spent ave weeks
in Italy and n In Brussels, not with
a view to dreaming e the beauties
Of the Italian lakes, or over the art
treasures collected In the museums of
Brussels, but because Lady Ryder had
had q bronchial catarrh which she could
not shake of and SO her doctor had or
dered her a thorough change. Bellag-
gto was selected. and Louisa accompa-
MED her. They stayed at the best ho-
tells both in Bellaggio and I'm Brussels,
where Lady Ryder had several friends
whom she wished to visit before she
went home.
Nothing whatever happened that
was orderly and well managed: the
courier and the maid saw to tickets and
to luggage. to hotel rooms and sleeping
compartments It was obviously their
mission In life to see that nothing un-
toward or unexpected happened. but
only b obvious.
1t was clearly not their fault that
Miss Harris had seer q cab in which
an unknown man happened to have
been murdered.
Louisa, with a view to preventing her
aunt from going to sleep after dinner
and thereby spelling her nights rest,
had told her Of the incident which she
had witnessed In the Boulevard Water
loo, and Lady Ryder was genuinely
shocked. She vaguely felt that her
niece had lone something ~unladylike
and odd. which was so unlike Louisa.

the door Of hts cah-hut she stood root
ed to the spot, feeling that strange, un-
explainable fascination which one al
ways feels, when one Of those great life
dramas of which one reads so often and
SO indinerently happens to be enacted
within the close range of ones OWE
perception.
She cleaned a phrase here and there
saw the horror stricken faces OF
those who had seen, the placid, bovine
expression OF b two gardens, more
Injured to such sights and calmly TAX
ing notes by the light OF b electric
standard.
But to think that I drove that ras-
cally murderer In my cab. and put him
ago!" came with the adjunct Of a loud
q from the irate chauffeur.
How did II all occur"
The gardens tried to stem h now
OF the driver eloquence; such details
should first be given to the police.
Voyons! But What were two fat
mouchards against 90 stalwart fdiers
all determined to hear-and then there
were the women-they were determined
to know more.
Louisa bent her ear to listen. She
was just outside the crowd-not a part
OF it-and there was no really morbid
curiosity in her. 1t was only the call
"a NAS AAAa6 AC&AtS ~ 40
on these occasions-the prosy, matter
o~f-fact, high-bred girl could not, just
then, tear herself away from that cab
and the tragedy which had been enact
ed therein, in the mysterious darkness
whilst the unconscious driver sped
along, ignorant OF the gruesome burden
which he was dragging to its destina-
ton.
"voila!" he was saying with many
CALCULATIONS and explosives, and a vol
ley Of excited gestures. Outside the
Pare neal the theater two bourgeois
hailed me, and one Of them told me to
draw up at the top Of h Galerie st.
the one who had told me where to go
got out, clapped he door to and spoke
a few words to his friend who had re-
manned inside"
What did he say"
"Oh! I couldn't hear and / didn't lis
ten. But after that he told me to drive
on to Boulevard Waterloo No. "a and
here I am"
You suspected nothing?"
Nothing, how should I? Two bour-
geois get into my cab; / see nothing:
I heal nothing. One Of them gets out
and tells me to drive on farther. How
should I think there's anything wrong?"
What was the other man like? The
n who spoke to your"

vas raining so fast and pitch dark just
outside the pare lights-and he did
seem to keep in the shadow-now I
come to think of ft-and his cap-he
wore a cap-was pulled well over his
face-and the collar of his coat was up
to his nose. 1t was raining so. I didn't
really see him properly. I saw the
other one better-the one who has been
murdered"
But the rotund gardens had had
enough OF this. Moreover, they w0uld
hear all about 1t at full length present
ly. As for the crowd-it had no busi-
ness to know too much.
They hustled the excited driver back
on to his box. and themselves got into
the cab beside 1.-THE dead man,
stabbed in the neck from ear to ear
the wound quite small as IL 1t had bee
done with a skewer.
The gardens ordered the chauffeur
to drive to the commissariat. and Lou
lisa turned away with q slight shiver
down her spine and her throat choked
with the horror Of what h had only
guessed.

$4,000 AMERICANS GO
TO CANADA IN 1911.
THE YEAR 1919 WILL SHOW A
GREAT INCREASE.

In a report of the House Committee
(Washington) appears the following:
Canada offers a three-year home
stead upon good land, easily reclaimed
and cultivated, with six months leave
Of absence each year and most lenient
regulations"
All of which is true and 1t Is now
the part of the careful reader to con-
slider the opportunities that exist in
Western Canada which. in addition to
the above, are attractive features.
The evidence of these Is found In the
letters contributed by some Of the
settlers. For instance: A former Min
nesotan, writing from Warner, South
ern Alberta, speaks Of that district.
but what he says. applies generally to
all Of Southern Alberta He says:
Il have een six crops, four Of them
were first class, one Of them a cry
good crop, and the ether a poor crop.
Government statistics for the last ff-
teen years show that this country has
averaged about fifteen or sixteen
inches Of moisture. In 1910 there was
only seven inches, and in 1911 twenty
two inches. The 1909 crop was about
as good as / have seen in this coun-
try and We had about twelve inches of
moisture, so that I am thoroughly con-
WINGED that with normal conditions,
that is, from twelve to fifteen inches
OF moisture, and with the natural in
crease OF population and immigration,
that Southern Alberta will be one Of
the very best mixed farming districts
in the world. We have good soil, good
water, and a good climate. and alto
gether Just as desirable a country to
live in as Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, or
Wisconsin"
Hundreds Of letters are on file from
former American settlers. which give
good reasons why the Western Can
ada lands are being settled SO rapidly.
Full particulars can be had Of any Ca
madam Government Agent, who will
furnish literature and give low rate
certificates. Excursions are being run
daily.

MONTENEGRO
FIGHTING ALONE
AGAINST TURK
Relations of Porte With Other
Balkan States Virtually IS
Broken, but Servia and
Bulgaria Hesitate.

n ONION, Oct. 16.-The Balkan
fighting remains limited to the
Mopteucgriu border, and al
though the relations of Turkey
with the other allied states virtually
arc broken. there is curious indlspo'
stion on the part of Bulgaria aud
Servia to take final place in the
hostilitics.
This hesitation is regarded in diplo-
matte quarters as good omen, point
ing to the possibility that the powers,
although unable TO prevent it, may
succeed in shortening the war II rs
understood that most Of the powers
have accepted in principle the sug-
gestion of the French premier for n
European conference. The fact that
Italy is now free to enter the confer
ence will greatly strengthen the Euro
pcan concert, and is calculated to make
the Balkan states more amenable to
European pressure.
The rumor that Bulgaria has de-
clarcd war, is not confirmed The
Moutenegrins, after hard fighting. have
captured Berana. but it is reported
that there will he a pause in the oper'
ations around Tushi. Undoubtedly this
is due to the Montcucgrins realizing
that they have paid too dearly for
their success in heavy losses of life.
King Nicholas has issued a procla-
nation urging his soldiers TO restrain
their impctuosty and adapt themselves
to modern conditions Of warfare,
which demand artillery preparation be-
fore an attempt is made to storm forti-
fled positions.

When shown a message from Kansas
