as its own. and the girls swarmcd
about him, glad that their chance

speaking To the man who had done
things.

was growing old. Her hair had been
biack that night when she had re
fused him. and he had gone off to
Join his company declaring that he
would never return TO Auburndale
Ever since she had heard that he
was coming. her heart had been in
nutter. though outwardly she was as
calm and placid as ever The years
had touched her lightly. Her hair
was still brown and thick. and scarce
a line marked her face. but she

nance

Father Gouy, superior of St. Isa- dore Mission at Fort Smith, on ar irving in Edmonton today, after a voluntary exile of 22 years among the Cree Indians living north of the 60th parallel of latitude He is on the way to Nantes.

 Father Gouy travelled from Fort Smith, the home of wild buffalo and reindeer to Fort McMurray a dis tanee of 314 miles, by dog team, the trip occupying two weeks, and from the last named point to Athabasca, 25C miles, by sleigh, drawn by horses. He was accompanied by Joseph

Odette and o. l.. Burdick, traders at the fort. He said:
 Tt seems good to be in civilization once more after such a long stay in the vast winterland of Alberta. The most interesting thing to me is the wonderful transformation of a crude frontier village. such as Edmonton was when l came through here in 1892 to substantially built city of 10000 ambitious and progressive people.
 I've have a good country around Fort Smith We have raised No. 1 hard wheat and all kinds of yegetabl- es. Horses and cattle can be winter ed along with the reindeer and buff falo. The nearest settlement to us is smith Landing. 16 miles south, while on the north we have Fort Simpson, 800 miles distance, and Fort McPherscn, 1900 miles distant.

 The plan is addressed to the repub- llcan conventions of the several states. which are asked to ratify the action of the national body before January | 1915 A special committee composed of Charles R.

 The plan can be ratified by any republican convention for the pur

 state offices, or for the purpose of adopting a party platform, or by any convention called by the republican
 state committee and held before January l, 1915. The statement of the special committee that drafted the plan for presentation to the sev- eral republican state conventions concludes with the following:
 "The committee appointed to pre- sent the proposed plan to the state conventions believes that it is de- sirable from every point of view that the a tion of the National Commit tee be ratified and made effective, All who are opposed to the funda mental principles of the Democratic party should join in the election of delegates to the National Conven- ton to be convened in 1916. The basis proposed for the election of delegates assures the states having the greatest number of Republican votes larger proportion of voting strength in the Supreme Council of the party, and by the changes made in the rules the way is open for the separate states to enact laws for the election of delegates in primary election, and for the majority of the voters participating in the primaries to elect delegates who will voice the sentiment of the majority"
