CANADA WINS AGAIN.
This Time at the International
Soil Products in Oklahoma.

Last year and the year before, and
the year before that, the farm prod
ucts Of Western Canada carried OF
first premiums, championships and
honours, together with medals and d.
plomas, feats that were likely to give
q swelled head to any other people
than those who had 80 much more be-
hind. At Columbus, Ohio, and then
again at Columbia, North Carolina, a
farmer of Saskatchewan carried of
the highest prize for oats, and in an
other year, will become the possessor

er farmer made two successful ex-
hiblts OF wheat at the biggest shows

sweepstake at the live stock show in
Chicago, and this year expects to du-
plicate his successes Of last year.

turned his contemptuous, sneering
face toward Jim, with the remark:
Your words are the words of fool,
you pig OF an American! There Is no

To Jims ears. every syllable the
Frenchman spoke was an Insult, and
words rekindled the fire in his blood.

his revolver. he dealt the Frenchman

to dodge. tripped over the base of the
ladder and went down heavily on the
floor OF the fo'cas'le. He had appar-

the floor he turned away with loath-
ing. He picked up his revolver AID

dark, and confusion reigned on deck.
But through the clamor, Jim made out
something near the truth; the Jeanne

by. He had swum valiantly. deter
mined to get picked up by that par
ticular craft. when suddenly his
strength failed. He remembered
thinking that 1t was all up with him,
and then he lost consciousness.
When he awoke he was on a hard
bunk in dim place, and a sailor was
jerking him about. His throat burned
with fiery liquid. Then he felt the
plunging and rising OF the boat, and
came to life sufficiently to utter the
stereotyped words. where am II"
In Jim's case the question did not
imply the confused cropping back to
sense that 1t usually indicates. but
rather an actual desire to know
whether or not he was on board the
Jeanne Dare. Plainly his wits had
not been badly shattered by his ex-
perience overheard. But the sailor
who was attending him with such min
istrations as he understood. answered
him with a sample of French which
Jim had never met with in his school
books, and he was not enlightened for
some hours.
1t was indeed the Jeanne Dare.
AS Jim proved for himself the
next day. and he was lying In the
seamen's quarters in the fo'casle. BY
morning he felt much better, hungry.
and prepared In his mind for striking
a bargain with one of the sailors for
clothes. He could make out their
lingo soon. he guessed, and then he
would get suit of clothes and fare
on deck. Suddenly he grasped his
waist, struck with an unpleasa mt
thought: his money-belt was gone! He
was wearing sailors blue flannel
shirt and nothing else. He turned over
on his hard bunk. thinking that he
would have to wait while before
making his entrance on the public
stage of the Jeanne dare.
And walt he did. Not a rag Of
clothing was in sight. and no cajolery

There was no help for 1t. The of.
ficer took the burglar and Mr.. Smith
to the station house. There the
burglar was searched. but nothing in
eliminating was found. Early the
next morning a lawyer appeared for
the burglar. and when he was ar
ralgned in court he was discharged
because Smiths Identification was
necessarily imperfect. Smith was
sure of his man-but the lawyer
rather shook his certainty In the
meantime no lawyer appeared for
Smith. He spent the night In the

arrest for carrying revolver with

The Rope Ladder.


The near prospect Of a conclusive
struggle for life Is a sharp tonic to
the adventurous soul. The actual
met variously. There is earthly dig
nifty, who answers even this last tap
at the door with fitting and Quotable
rejoinder; there is deathbed repen-
tance, whose JUNCTION In momento NOR
tbs Is doubtless a comfort to pious rel
atives; and there are chivairy and va

known banquet singing and bearing
their garlands of Joy.
But with the chance of a fight for
life, there is a sharp-sweet tang that
contest 'Dauntless the slughorn to
his lips be set" making ready for the
last good run.
When Jim descended the hatchway
after accommodating on deck, Chate-
lard was gone. The ships cook was
rummaging in sailors kit that he
had drawn from a locker Jim men,
tally considered the situation. The
seamen had no doubt exaggerated the
calamity, but without question there
was serious trouble. Were the pumps
working? How far were they from
shore? II hopelessly distant from
passing steamers? Would any one
look after Miss Redmond's safety?
Monsieur Chatelard had said that she
was not on board, but James did not
believe 1t.
While these thoughts flew through
his mind, James had been absently
watching while the cook turned his
. treasures out upon his bunk. and
paved them over with trembling
hands. There were innumerable little
things besides a stin white shirt. a
cheap shiny Bible. stuffed parrot
s1d several wads of clothes. And
among the mess Jim caught sight of
a piece of stitched canvas that looked
familiar.
Hi, you there! = That's my money.

to claim his own. But In his move
ment he failed to calculate with the
waves. The yacht gave another of
her deep-sea plunges, and Jimmy.
thrown against his bunk, saw the cook
grab his kit and make for the ladder.
He regained his feet only in time to
follow at arms length up the hatch
way. At the top he threw himself
down, like baseball runner making
his base. after the seaman's legs: but
instead OF a foot. he found himself
clutching one of the weeds of
clothes that trailed after the cooks
bundle. He caught 1t firmly and kept
1t, but the ships cook and the rest Of
his booty disappeared like rabbit In
to its burrow.
Jim sat down at the top of the lad
der and examined his haul. 1t was q
pair OF wooden trousers, and they were
of generous size. He spread them out
on the deck. Round him were unmis-
taxable signs of Generalization. The
second officer was ordering the men to
the pumps in stern tones: the yacht
was pitching wildly and growing dark
ness was settling on the face of the
turbulent waters. But in spite OF 1t
