MORE ATLANTIC
LINERS REQUIRED
CONGESTION ON EXISTING STEAM
SHIPS ON ACCOUNT OF CANA
DIAN IMMIGRATION.

1t is reported that eight new Trans
Atlantic liners are under construction
for the exclusive use of the Canadiaa
Trade. These are being built by the
White Star, Canadian Pacific and
Cunard Companies
The liners to be built for the White
Star are to be of the same type as the
Laurentic and Majestic, and will re-
place the Canada and Teutonic. The
Cunard Lines new steamer, Ascania.
has already completed successfully
her maiden voyage from England to
Montreal, and her sister ship will be
launched early next year.
1t is predicted that the Canadian
Northern will not be slow in following
the example of the other big concerns.
as it is a matter of common belief that
Canada, more than any other in the
world, will be the country of the flu
ture, and the best field for investment
by shipping interests.
An official of one of the companies
already building steamers for this
trade told the American yesterday
is the two-cabin boat, having accom-
mediation for second-class and steer
age passengers only.
1--WE do not expect that the $4,000
cabin de luxe class will travel be-
tween Canada and England very eX-
tensively," he said, but the business
that is to be obtained there will be
immensely lucrative, and for the next
ten years the eyes of the shipping
world will be riveted on Canada The
Panama Canal, undoubtedly will re-
ceive a lot of attention, but the bust
ness in that route will be nothing COM
pared with the Canadian trade for the
immediate future. Panama will de-
velop and become bigger in the years
to come, but at the present we are
most concerned with the tremendous
tide of immigration that is being di-
verified from the United States to the
Dominion.
The farm land of the vast North
West is the attraction, and while this
flood Of immigration is at its height.

are drawing their future citizens from
the Northern countries and have

CHAPTER XVII.
The End of the Mystery.

With one of the conspirators lying
in the undertaking shop OF Miller

prison bars in Ardway, the docu-
mentary evidence against him in our
possession reinforced by his full con-
fession signed and witnessed. Inspec-
tor Davis and | that same afternoon

it can be imagined. / lost no time in
reaching the Parrish home.
AS We waited for the train | had
telephored Louise and she was ex-
pecting me. She met me in the lower
hall. One glance at my radiant face
told her that our mission had been
successful and she dung herself into
my arms while l rained happy kisses
on her lips. her cheeks, her glorious
hair. But thoughtful ever of others,
even in such moment of ecstasy,
she gently unclasped my arms and
whispered: The papers-did you get
them?"
A little cry of JOY came from her
lips as l handed her the envelope.

and descendants of revolutionary he
