tuC Ivy Fofe
Pitchoune repaid what was given
him.
He did not think that by getting
well, reserving the right for the rest
OF his life to a distinguished limp in
his right leg, that he had done all that
was expected Of him. He developed
an ecstatic devotion to the captain,
impossible for any human heart ade-
quately to return. He followed Sab
o. like a shadow and when he could
not follow him, took his place on a
chair In the window, there to sit, his
sharp profile against the light, his
pointed ears forward, watching for the
uniform he knew and admired extrav-
agantly.
Pitchoune was a thoroughbred, and
every muscle and fiber showed it,
every hair and point asserted it, and
he loved as only thoroughbreds can.
You may say what you like about mon
grel attachments, the thoroughbred in
all cases reserves his brilliancy for
crises.
Sabron, who had only seen Miss
Redmond twice and thought about her
countless times, never quite forgave
his friend for the illness that kept him
from the chateau. There was in Sab.

"Voyons. mon cher" his colonel
had said to him kindly the hex time

Poor Sabron blushed and shrugged
his shoulders.

that / did you harm there without
knowing it. Madame d'E~sclignac, whit

Leakage of Gasoline.

The mysterious loss of gasoline,
which embarrassed the polar expedi-
tons Of Scott and Amundsen, and
which was the principal of the
disaster that befell the former, mas
been made the subject of investigation
by several persons, and a very plaus-
ible explanation is made by B. T.
Brooks of the Mellon Institute of In
dustrial Research, in an article in Sci
ence. He has observed that at low
temperatures ordinary tin is liable to
be converted into the a%llotropic form,
gray tin powder. This change takes
place at a maximum rate at 48 degrees
Centigrade, and may more slow
ly at other temperatures below that
point. Hard solder, which may con-
tain IS per cent tin, is subject to the
same process of disintegration. Hence
the danger of leakage along the solder
seams of the container-a fact that
should be duly considered by future
polar expeditions.

FARMERS WHO SUCCEED
IN WESTERN CANADA
Those Who Exercise Thrift, Prac-
tice Due Economy, and Adopt
Reasonable Methods Are
Sure to Prosper.

Those who are interested in devel-
oping the agricultural resources of
Western Canada in bringing to the
notice of those whom they desire to
take part in this development present
only the facts. There has never been
given the impression that farming in
Western Canada could be carried on
without effort or labor, but it has been
successfully stated that better results
can be secured with less outlay OF
capital, either in money or labor, than
anywhere else on the continent. This
has been proven time and time again.
Hundreds of cases could be cited
where men have taken up farms,
either a homestead, or purchased from
railways or land companies, and with
little capital at the start have ac-
uuired a competence, have established
good homes for themselves, and pro-
vided a sure future. They have COM
Portable homes and all their surround
ings are comfortable, speak of the re-
ward that their thrift has accom-
plished.
Carl Dickan, of Russian Poland lived
in Pittsburgh, Pa, for fourteen years,
and saved up 5000. In 1903 he took
the $500 with him to Alberta. His own
story is that he bought a quarter sec,
ton, for which he agreed to pay
$1,000. I'm 1904 I had thirty acres of
crop, threshed 900 bushels. In 1909
bought another quarter. I now have
one hundred acres under cultivation,
and have never had a crop failure.

wheat per acre, but the average has

CHAPTER v.
The Golden Autumn.

IN
Sabron longed for a change with au-
tumn, when the falling leaves made
the roads golden roundabout the Cha
teau dEsclignac. He thought he
would like to go away. He rode his
horse one day up to the property of
the hard-hearted unforgiving lady and,
finding the gate open, rode through
the grounds up to the terrace. Seeing
no one, he sat in his saddle looking
over the golden country to the Rhone
and the castle of the good King Rene,
where the autumn mists were like BAN
ners floating from towers.
There was a solitary beauty around
the lovely place that spoke to the
young officer with a sweet melancholy.
He fancied that Miss Redmond must
often have looked out from one of the
windows, and he wondered which one.
The terrace was deserted and leaves
from the vines strewed it with red and
golden specters. Pitchoune raced after
them, for the wind started them flying,
and he rolled his tawny little body
ove and over in the rustling leaves.
Then a rabbit, which before the ar
rival Of Sabron had been sitting com
fortably on the terrace stones, scut
tied away like mad, and Pitchoune
somewhat hindered by his limp. tore
after it.
The deserted chateau, the fact that
there was nothing in his military life
beyond the routine to interest him
now in Tarascon, made Sabron eagerly
look forward to a change. and he
waited for letters from the minister Of
war which would send him to a new
post.
The following day after his visit t.
the chateau he took a walk, Pitchount
at his heels, and stood aside in tht
h%ighroad to let a yellow motor pas
him, but the yellow motor at that mo

Ordered AWAY.


He had received his letter from the
minister of war. Like many things
we wish for, set our hopes upon, when
they come we find that we do not want
them at any price. The order was un-
welcome. Sabron was to go to AL
giers.
Winter is never very ugly around
Tarascon. Like a lovely bunch of fruit
in the brightest corner of a happy
vineyard, the Midi is sheltered from
the rude experiences that the seasons
know farther north, Nevertheless,
rains and winds, sea-born and Wig.
orous, had swept in and upon the lit
tie town. The mistral came whis-
Ting and Sabron, from his window,
looked down on his little garden from
which summer had entirely flown. Pit
choune, by his side, looked down as
well, but his expression, different from
his masters, vas ecstatic, for he saw
sliding along the brick wall, a cat with
which he was or the most excited
terms. His body tense, his ears for.
ward, he gave a sharp series of barks
and little soft growls, while his
master tapped the window-pane to the
tune of Miss Redmond's song.
Although Sabron had heard it several
times, he did not know the words OF
that they were of a semi-religious, ex.
tremely sentimental character which
would have been difficult to translate
into French. He did not know that
they ran something like this:
God keep you safe, my love,
All through the night;
Rest close in his encircling arms
Until the light.
And there was more of it. He only
knew that there was a pathos in the
tune which spoke to his warm heart
which caressed and captivated hin
and which made him long deeply for
happiness he thought it most unlikely
he would ever know.
There had been many pictures added
to his collection: Miss Redmond a
