tend to that. And when Ryanne con-
fessed, the girl and the other would
be conveyed to the nearest telegraph
post. That they might at once report
the abduction to the English authori-
ties did not worry Mahomed. Not the
| f1eetest racing-ca' ell could find him,
and behind the walls Of the palace
of Bagdad, only Allah could touch
him. He had figured 1t all out closely,
and he was an admirable strategist
in his way. Revenge upon Ryanne for
the dishonor and humiliation, and the
return Of the rug; there was nothing
more beyond that.
Before George had the opportunity
of speaking to Fortune, he was raised
from the sand and bodily lifted upon
his camel; and by way OF passing
| pleasantly, his hat was jammed down
over his eyes. He swore as he pulled
up the brim. Swearing was another
accomplishment added to the list of
| transformations. He had q deal to
learn yet, but in his present mood he
was likely to proceed famously. He
readjusted the hat in time to see Ry-
anne unceremoniously dumped into
one of the yawning pack-baskets, his
arms and legs hanging out, his head
lolling against his shoulder, exactly
like a marionette, cast aside for the
time being. A man of ordinary STAN
ina would have died under such treat.
ment. But Ryanne possessed an ex-
traordinary constitution, against which
years of periodical dissipation had as
yet made no permanent inroads. More
over, he never forgot to keep his chin
up and his waist-line down. They put
him into the pack-basket because
there was no alternative, being as he
was incapable of sitting upon a cam
els back.
Next, George saw Fortune, unre-
sisting, placed upon the camel, under
canopy. At least, she would know a
little comfort against the days long
ride. His heart ached to see her. He
called out bravely to her to be of
good cheer. She turned and smiled;
and he saw only the smile, not the
swift, decisive battle against the on
set of tears: she smiled, and he was
too far away to see the swimming
eyes,

PREPARING FOR
NEW SETTLERS
EXTENDING THE AGRICULTURAL
AREA IN WESTERN CANADA.

For sometime past the Canadian
government has had surveyors at
work plating new areas for the &C
commodation of the largely increas-
ing number of settlers coming In to
occupy the agricultural districts Of
the three prairie provinces. There
were those connected with the work
of securing settlers for western Can
ada who last spring prophesied that
there would be as many as 175,000
new settlers from the United States
to Canada during the present year.
and there were those who doubted
that the previous years figures Of
1872 900 could be increased. Recent
computation made by the officials Of
the immigration branch at Ottawa
show that the largest estimates made
by officials will be beaten and that
the 100000 mark from the United
States will be reached. AS great an
increase will be shown in the figures
Of those who will reach Canada from
other countries this year. The re-
suits of the years work in Canadian
immigration will give upward of
total of 100000 souls.
But this is not to be wondered at
when it is realized what is offering in
the three prairie provinces and also
in the coast province of British Co
lumbia, which is also bidding strong

wishes to go into mixed farming or
fruit raising. When the central por-
tion of this province is opened up by
the railway now being constructed
there will be large areas of splendid
land available for the settler.
Reference has frequently been made
of late by those interested in develop
ing the American west to the large
numbers who are going to Canada,
high officials in some Of the railways
being amongst the number to give
voice to the fact. The more these
facts become known the more will
people seek the reasons and these
are best given when one reads what
prominent people say of it. What the
farmer thinks Of it and what his
friends say Of it. James A. Flaherty,
supreme knight of the Knights of Co
lumbus, was in western Canada a
short time ago. He says:

sell out my interests in less than two

preceding night? Alone in the desert,
without any Of those conveniences
which are to women as necessary as
the air they breathe! He tried to run,
but his feet sank too deeply in the
pale sand; he could only plod. He
must touch her or hear her voice;
otherwise he stood upon the brink of
madness. There was no doubt in his
mind now; he loved her, loved her as
deeply and passionately as any sto-
ried knight loved his lady; loved her

MONROE DOCTRINE
