l.. Anderson Smith, writing to a
friend In the Old Country, located at
Killam, Alberta, Says:
anyone taking up land will find Al
berta an ideal province. The soil is a
rich black loan, varying from 6 to II
inches in depth. The land here in
this district is no wholly open prairie.
At intervals, sometimes closely, some
times widely scattered, there are
small plots of poplar and willows.
These generally grow round some
small depression in the land, and the
snow drifts here in the winter and
melts in the spring filling these
sloughs (province "slews') with soft
water. Nearly all these sloughs have
old buffalo tracks to them. for it was
from them that they always got their
water. The poplars are very useful
for building barns and h~en-houses.
Wild grasses are plentiful, while tame
grasses, such as timothy, bronze and
western rye grass do remarkably well.

Tyron Durham, Just alighted from a

Of pursuit. but declines to give the cause
of her distress. Durham takes her TO
his home and in the absence of his moth
er and sister borrows a hat and cloak
for her. He takes her to a dinner party
at the home OF q friend and gives her
name as Mary Remington. Her actions
stamp her ms a girl of refinement and
breeding, After the dinner she requests
nainham to assist her to leave the city.
He puts her on a train for Chicago and
supplies her with money. Durham has
become intensely interested in the girl
and anxious to solve the mystery which
surrounds her. Stories in the newspapers
missing girls only add to his bewiider-
ment. Arrived in Chicago the girl buys
: me cheap clothing in an attempt At
disguise and starts out to seek employ
ment.

CHAPTER Viii.

Meantime, the girl in Chicago was
walking in a new and hard way. She
brought to her task a disciplined
mind, a fine artistic taste, a delicate
but healthy body, and a pair of will
ing, if unskilled, hands. To her sur
prise, she discovered that the work
for which she had so often lightly
given orders was beyond her strength.
AS the weary days succeeded each 9th
err into weeks, she found that while
her skill in table-setting and waiting
was much priced, it was more than of
set by her discrepancies in other lines,
and so it came about that with mutual
consent she and Mrs. Rhinehart parted
company.
This time, with her reference, h
did not find it SO hard to get another
place, and, after trying several, she
learned to demand certain things,
which put her finally into a home
where her ability was appreciated.
and where she was not required to do
things in which she was unskilled.
Then the son of the house came
home from college in disgrace, and
began to make violent love to her,
until her case seemed almost des-
perate. She dreaded inexpressibly to
make another change, for in soE1e
ways her work was not SO hard as it
had been in other places, and her
wages were better; but from day to
day she felt she could scarcely bear
the hourly ~annoyances. The other
servants, too, were not only utterly
uncompanionable, but deeply jealous
of her, resenting her gentle breeding.
her careful speech, her dainty per-
sonal ways, her O to herself. her
loyalty to her mistress.
Sometimes in the cold and darkness
of the night-vigils she would remem-
Der the man who had helped her, who
had promised to be her friend, n
had begged her to let him know if
she ever needed help. Her hungry
heart cried out for sympathy and coun-
sci. In her dreams h saw him COM
ing to her across interminable plains,
Fastening with his kindly sympathy,
but she always awcke before he reach.
ed her.
1t was about this time that the firm
of Blackwell, Hanover & Durham had
a difficult case to work out which in
volved the gathering of evidence from
Chicago and thereabouts, and it was
with pleasure that Judge Blackwell ac-
cepted the eager proposal from the
junior member of the firm that he
should go out and attend to 1t.

going to feel one and sat down in

he worked at all he drove an occa-

borrowing tobacco from the other tur-
ties, dropping his tools and climbing
down after them and forgetting for a
space to climb back up again and ar

the poor are growing poorer and the
rich growing fatter. Finally, having

TIE HUMBLE PUMPKIN.

The pumpkin figures neither
on the board of trade, nor crop
statistics. Scientific agricultur-
lists do not lecture about it, and
railroads do not count upon the
pumpkin crop as likely to cause
a car shortage. The pumpkin
occasionally wins prizes in coun-
ty fairs, but it excites the hum
orous interest OF the layman
rather than the wrapt attention
of the expert. The pumpkin
grows between corn rows with
out any particular attention,
and is seldom harvested. Most
farmers would sooner think of
charging thirsty traveller for
a drink frem the we'll than to
put price on pumpkin that a
friend from town might crave.
OF all humble vegetables of
the field the pumpkin is the
humblest, but when a skillful
housewife cuts up yellow
pumpkin, boils its tissues, mix
es with the mass some molasses
, and adds spices then bakes it in
a pie plate she produces a dish
the odor of which is sweeter
than were ever alnbrosial per-
fumes to the gods on Olympus,
and the taste Of which would
delight a palate wearied with
the tabled pastries of Arabia.
Nothing is 80 good as pump
kin pie. The only thing that pr
vents it from becoming a staple
article of food is the failure OF
the United States government tC
valorize the pumpkin crop.
