This is the one hundred and third
anniversary of the birth of Grace
Darling, whose heroism so stirred the
hearts of the whole world seventy
five years ago. and the ty-fourth
birthday of Frances Burnett, the
popular writer.
Grace Darling was one OF many
children of the lighthousekeeper on
Longstone Rock, off the coast of
Northumberland, England. Appar-
emily she possessed no great gifts,
save that of heroism, and one Sep
TENDER night when she was twenty
two the opportunity came to her to
show this gift. A fearful storm ragged
throughout the night and after
sleepless hours she dressed and saw
wreck in the distance The story
of how she persuaded her father to
go with her through the tossing sea
in rowboat to the rescue of the vic
Tins of the wreck and of how she
saved the lives OF the nine men
clinging to all that remained of their
wrecked steamboat Is well known to
all In spite of the fame that this
heroic act brought her, Grace went

FORTUNES IN FOX FARMS

ward Island, which may now be call
ed the centre of flourishing black
fox ranch industry.
There Is an air of secrecy about
every black fox ranch. Each pair OF
foxes Is so valuable that every owner
is afraid of having some of his stock
stolen, and. Furthermore. the fox is
easily frightened and 1t is best to
have them disturbed as little as pos
sible. Besides that, each owner has
his own pet plan for a pen, and he
wants to keep the secrets of his sue
cess, worked out through the mis-
takes and losses of years. to himself.
Around many of the big pens in
which the foxes are. kept is a wide
runway inclosed by barbed wire
fences If a thief desires to get at
the fox pen he must first cross the
outer runway and run the gauntlet
of two or three great bloodhounds
placed as guards. But despite all
this, the secrets of how to raise the
foxes became general knowledge.
Development of the industry has
been rapid since 1t was first proved a
success. Many of the farmers of the
island saw that 1t presented oppor-
tunities for making money such as
they could never hope for if they
kept on simply tilling the soil. II
took money TO go into it, and it was
considerable of a risk. but many or
them took the chance. made the in
vestment. and most of them profess
to have found it profitable move.
What it may mean il the ranch
owner has good luck is illustrated BY
the fact that less than a fortnight
ago one pair of black foxes were sold
in Prince Edward Island for 1000.
The man who purchased them took
them to Cape Breton, where he has
started q ranch in the belief that this
climate of Cape Breton and its soil
would prove as favorable for the
industry as that of Prince Edward
