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,OoO
new settlers from the United States
to Canada during the present year,
and there were those who doubted
that the previous years figures OF
1920 0 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 zoe, 900 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 a
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

! class Of settler, the settler who
wishes to go into mixed farming or
fruit raising. When the central por-
ton 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

me, late one afternoon, that Auguste
had reappeared. He had gone back
tt his old lodgings and paid the six
weeks rem he owed. That same
evening at nine entered the cafe
where I had first met Claire. Claire
was sitting at a little table opposite a
tall youth, who, even without the de-
scription I had of him, I at once recog-
nized by his likeness to Edouard.
But he, who had been portrayed to mi
as ~shabbily dressed, wore a new suit
of well-1tting clothes, and now and
then looked down with evident pride
at the gold watch chain that adorned
his waistcoat. I waited till it was
again C1aire's turn to sing, and, walk
ing to his table, said:
Good evening. / am M. Goron, and
am anxious to have a chat with you.
AS it is too noisy here will you come
with me to my Office, where we can
smoke a cigarette?
He gave a passing nod to Claire,
who was in the midst of her song,
and we drove together to the Prefec,
ture.
DO you know" l said, that your
aunt, Nine. Servois, has mysteriously
disappeared and that her friends are
concerned about her?'
He nodded.
do you likewise know that a won.
ans mangled remains have been
found near Barbizon, and that Nine.
Mesier firmly believes they are those
of your aunt?"
He nodded again.

Fontainebleau Forest. A party of hol-
iday-makers had been p~icnicking in
the neighborhood Of Barbizon and had
gone for a ramble, when, passing
through some bushes, two Of them
stumbled over a sack. They cut the
rope with which it was tied, n be-
held the headless body of a woman
I Immediately went to Barbizon to
inspect the CHASTITY find. The head
vas absent, the arms. and legs were
mangled beyond recognition, and &C.
cording to the medical evidence the
crime must have been committed a
couple of days before. The skirt still
chung to the body. 1t was of a silky
material called, I think, foulard, of a
dark blue color with little white dots
printed all over It.
My first thought, of course, was OF
Nine. Servois, and 1 begged Nine.
Meiser and Josephine to assist me
in my Investigations. The condition
of the body rendered Identification
almost impossible, but Nine. Mesier
at once recognized the dress as hav-
ing belonged to her friend; whereupon
Josephine shook her head and de-
clared the white spots on her mis-
tress' gown were bigger.
"I swear it is Nine. Servois' dress
said Nine. Mesier.

Josephine.
where did she buy the material, or
who made the dress?" 1 asked.
Unfortunately neither of them
knew. Nine. Servois had the year
before made a tour through Germany
and had bought the costume there.
The body was transferred to Paris
and exposed in the morgue, where
upon matters became still more com
| plicated, for a farmer from LisieuS

ciaIly identified. Nine. Mesier and
Josephine had nothing but lamenta-
lions to offer; and Auguste had man
aged to entangle the affair still more
by imparting to it another mysterious
note. Thus far with me everything
was hypothesis, and my only chance
of finding a clue was to make a thor
ough inspection Of Nine. Servois'
apartment.
The day following, at two in the
afternoon, l drove with NJ. F., the
examining magistrate, to the Rue
Liable. NJ. F.-'s secretary accom-
panied Us. 1t was a cosy, well-fur-
nished apartment, the pictures and

divorced wife. How, in view of these
conflicting statements, could I hope
to trace the murderer? I instructed
chief assistant to follow up the
vague clues supplied by tho farmer
and the corn merchant. and imposed
upon myself the task Of discovering
whether there was a connecting link
betwee-. Nine. Servois' disappearance
and the finding of the body.
The coincidence of Auguste having
been seen at Nogent-sur-Marne, the
day Nine. Servois called there on her
friend, had caused me to have his
lodgings watched night and day. But,
thus far, he had not turned up there
nor at his favorite haunt, where Claire
was still waiting for him every night.
I next saw Nine. Servois' lawyer, who
was very anxious about his client.
Young Edouard," he said, has al
ready been to see me several times.
He knows that in the event of his
aunt's death he will inherit a large
share of her property, and his
thoughts seem to run more on the
money than on the fate that may
nave befallen her. NJ. Goron. do you
really think that the body found Is
that of Nine. Servois?"
In the face of all these c~ontradic-
tions," l replied, 81 cannot give an
opinion. Since the day Nine. Mesier

mains as those of the missing woman

guide me-"

statement; but they thought the
amount must be considerable.
was growing impatient. Thus far
no fact that could in any way assist
my search had bee brought to light.
Certain deductions led me to suppose
hat Nine. Servois might have been
murdered, while at other moments l
was inclined to agree with Josephine
that the body found in the F%ontaine-
bleau Forest was not that of her mis-
tress. But, in that case, what had be-
come of her?

Yes, she went to see Nine. Mesier."

Where were you that day."

Because you, too, were at Nogent-

He blew a cloud OF smoke and re-

sumed, you are interested in knowing
