The GROWTH OF
WESTERN CANADA
Increase in Railway Mileage,
School Attendance and
Population.

Some idea of the extent Of railway
construction in Western Canada can
be derived from the fact that the rail-
way mileage in the Province of Al
berta has been doubled in three years.
The present mileage is 4,097. In all
of the settled districts there is ample
railway privileges. The rates are gov.
erned by Dominion Railway Commits
sion, and in the exercise of their pow.
ers they not only control the rates,
giving fair equality to both railway
and shipper, but form a court to hear
complaints of any who may desire to
lodge the same.
In the matter of education no better
instance of the advancement that 10
taking place can be given than that
found in the information to hand that
attendance at the University Of AL.
berta has increased 1000 per cent in
five years, and is now thoroughly rep
resentative Of all settled portions OF
the Province. The students in attend
ance are from sixty-one distinct dis
tricts.
Then as to the prosperity which fol-
lows residence in Western Canada, J.
e. Edward Of Blackie, Alta, gives
splendid testimony. He writes, In
the spring Of 1907 first came to this
locality from the State Of Iowa, Cass
County, and located on quarter SEQ
ton of land near Blackie. Since COM
ing here have been engaged in mixed
farming, which / have found to be
more profitable than where formerly

UNHAPPY FATE OF DRONES
Few Indeed Are Their Hours of En-
joyment and Sad the End That
Awaits Them All.

Drones are usually looked upon as
lazy, useless creatures. They never
do any work, but are fed by the work
err bees on the best the hive can af-
ford, and this in season of the year
when the workers are busiest for "a
curing Of honey. Why do the bees
treat them with such respect in the
busy harvest time? The reason Ia
that the bees are raising a number OF
young queens at this time, for the fu-
ture generation. The queen is des-
tined to be the mother of all the bees
reared in the hive for the next year
or two. She is the only one in the
hive that can lay eggs, and she will
some day lay them at rate of from
two to four thousand day. The
drones are the male bees raised at the
same time with the queens. From
their midst the virgin queen will some
day select her mate. Without them
she could not attain maternity, held
by the bees in greatest honor. For
this reason they are treated royalty
until the wedding trip of the queen.
When she returns a widow, leaving
her drone-mate usually the most per-
sistent of all suitors) dead in the
field, the bees make short work of the
remaining drones. They seize them
by the neck and throw them out Of
the hive bodily to die of hunger in
the midst Of plenty.-.Francis Jaeger.

CHAPTER XlV-continued.

Besides being on duty as an officer
of militia, Callomb was Kentuckian,
interested in the problems of his COM
monwealth, and, when he went back,
he knew that his cousin, who occupied
the executive mansion at Frankfort,
would be interested in his suggestions.
The governor had asked him t. report
his impressions, and he meant to, af-
ter analysing them.
So, smarting under his impotency,
Captain Callomb came out of his tent
one morning, and strolled across the
curved bridge to the town proper. He
knew that the grand jury was conven-
ing, and he meant to sit as a spectator
In the courthouse and study proceed
angs when they were instructed.
But before he reached the court
house, where for half-hour yet the
cupola bell would not clang out it's
summons to veniremen and witnesses,
he found fresh fuel for his wrath.
He was not popular man with
these clansmen, though involuntarily
he had been useful in leading their vic
tins to the slaughter There was a
scowl in his eyes that they did not
like, and an arrogant hint of iron laws
In the livery he wore, which their in
sti'lcts distrusted.
Callomb saw without being told that
over the town lay a sense of por-
tentous tiGings. Faces were more
sullen than usual. Men fell int, scowl-
Ing knots and groups. A clerk at a
store where he stopped for tobacco
inquired as he made change:
Herd the news. stranger?"
What news?"
This here Wildcat Samson South
come back yistiddy, an last evenin'
towards shutdown, Jesse Pu7vy an
Aaron Hollis was shot dead"
For an instant, the soldier stood
looking at the young clerk, his eyes
kindling into wrathful blaze. Then,
ne cursed un,isr his breath. At the
door, he turned on his heel:
Where can Judge Smithers be
found at this time Of day." he de-
7nanded.

pertinent question. what part OF the
mountains have you been visiting?"
Samson laughed.
Not any part of the mountains" he
said. I've been living chiefly in New
York-and for a,time in Paris"
Callomb drew his horse to a dead
halt.
In the name of God" he inoredu-
lously asked. what manner of man
are your"
Il hope" came the instant reply, at
may be summed up by saying that Pm
exactly the opposite of the man you've
had described for you back there at
Hixon."
Il knew It," exclaimed the soldier.
Il knew that was being fed on lies!
That's why l came. / wanted to get
the straight of it, and l felt that the
solution lay over here"
They rode the rest of the way in
deep conversation. Samson outlined
his ambitions for his people. He told,
too, of the scene that had been enacted
at Purvy's store. Callomb listened with
absorption, feeling that the narrative
bore automatic truth on its face.
At last he inquired.
Did you succeed up there-as a
painter"
That's long road" Samson told
him, "but l think had fair start. |

Then l am to understandable off,
Ger met the steady gray eyes and put
the question like a cross-examiner
bullying witness--"I am to under
stand that you deliberately put behind
you a career to come down here and
herd these fence-jumping Sheep"
Hardly that" deprecated the head
Of the Souths. "They sent for me-
that's all. OF course, had to come"
"Why?"
Because they had lent They are

The officer leaned in his saddle.

dren."
Callomb spent the night at the house
Of Spicer South. He met and talked
with a number of the kinsmen, and, if
he read in the eyes of some Of them a
smoldering and unforgiving remem
brance of his unkept pledge, at least

With Spicer South and Samson the
captain talked long into the night. He
made many jottings in note book. He
with Samson abetting him, pointed out
to the older and more stubborn man

Samson was for a moment th5uEht
full, then he nodded.
That's about what l was expecting"
Now" went on Callomb, I'VE IN
derstand each other We are working
for the same end, and, by God! I've
had one experience in making arrests
at the order of that court. / don't
want it to happen again"
81 suppose" said Samson, you know
that while am entirely willing to face
any fair court of justice, l don't pro-
pose to walk into packed jury, whose
only object is to get me where l can
be made way with. Callomb, l hope
we won't have to fight each other.
What do you suggest?"
"If the court orders the militia to
make an arrest, the militia has no OPP
tion. In the long run, resistance would
only ALLEVIATE the sympathy of the
world at large. There is just one
thing to be done. South. It's a thing
don't like to suggest" He paused.
then added emphatically: When my
detail arrives here, which will prob
ably be in three or four days, you
must not be here. You must not be
in any place where we can find you"
For little while, Samson looked at
the other man with slow smile Of
amusement, but soon it died, and his
face grew hard and determined.
."Im obliged to you, Callomb," he
said, seriously. ut was more than |
had the right to expect-this warning.
l understand the cost of giving it. But
it's no use. l can't cut and run. No, by
God, you wouldn't do it! You can't
ask me to do it,"
"By God, you can and will" Callomb
spoke with determination. "This isn't
time for quibbling. You've got work
to do. We both have work to do. We
can't stand on a matter of vainglorious
pride, and let big issues Of humanity
go to pot. We haven't the right to
spend mems lives in fighting each
other, when we are the only two men
in this ENHANCEMENT who are in per-
feet accord-and honest"
The mountaineer spent some min.
utes in silent self-debate. The working
of his face under the play Of alternat-
ing doubt, resolution, hatred and insur-
gency, told the militiaman what a
struggle was progressing. At last,
Samson's eyes cleared with an express
sion of discovered solution.
Gall right, Callomb," he said, briefly,
you won't find mel" He smiled, as
he added: make as thorough a
search as your duty demands. II

the necessity of new regime in the
could walk in greater personal safety.
AS for the younger South, the officer
felt, when he rode away rext morning
that he had discovered the one man
who combined with the courage and
honesty that many of his clansmen
shared the mental equipment and local
influence to prove a constructive lead
er.
When he returned to the Bluegrass
he meant OF have a long and unoffic ial
talk with his relative, the governor
The grand jury trooped each day to
the courthouse and transacted its bust

occupied with several minor homicide
cases. The captain, from chair,
which Judge -Smithers had ordered
placed beside him on the bench, was
looking on and intently studying. One
morning. Smithers confided to him
that in day or two more the grand
jury would bring in true bill against
Samson South, charging him with muir
der. The officer did not show sur
prise. He merely nodded.

ness as Samson South stands for. He
is the more dangerous because he has

Callomb nodded, but, at noon, he
slipped out on pretense of sightsee-
ing, and rode by somewhat circuit
Gus route to the ridge. At nightfall,
he came to the house of the clan head.

he had led him aside, they didn't

The Horararle Abe Smithers was
mot the regular judge of the circuit
which DJinbered Hixon among it's
county yeats. The elected incumbent
was Ill, and Smithers had been named
as his protein. successor. Callomb
climbed to the second story of the
frame bank building and pounded loud
ly on door, which bore the boldly
typed shingle:

The temporary judge admitted O

was stormy with indignant protest.
The judge himself was placid and smil-
Eng. The lawyer, who was for the time

only Holman votes were counted. He

The Judge shook his head, and his

explain that the venire he had drawn
from the jury drum had borne a singu-

THE CHARM

The experience Of Motherhood Is q try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tir,tiy an epoch in their lives Not ono
woman in a hundred is prepared or un-
deratands how TO properly care for her
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
once with an organism untitled for the
trial Of strength, and when it is over
her system has received a shock from
which it is hard 10 recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
Of caring for the child, and a distinct
change in the mother results.
There Is nothing moro charming than
happy and healthy mother Of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing Is
that, with all the evidence Of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
on unprcpared condition, and with am
pie time in which TO prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
inyigorator Of the female organism.
