All the pride in her nature sud

SLAYDGN FOR PUTTING
FERRY ON THE BUDGET

The proposed county ferry be-
tween Point Defiance, Gig Harbor
and yashon Island, will be put on
the county budget to be completed
this week II Chairman Slayden of
the county board has anything to
say about It.
Slayden came out with a state
ment In favor of the ferry Tues
day. He declared at least $4,000
should be provided for it.
Also he said he believed that
the development of the Bay Island
district and the growth of trade
between Tacoma and vashon
Island by means OF cheap and
east freight transportation would
fully warrant the expenditure of
this sum.
Commissioner Reed, whose dis
trict would be the one to be
benefited by the ferry, is opposed
TO II. Commissioner Williams has
not yet taken a position on the
proposition.
Owners of small steamers, fear
Ing that their business would be
fnterfered with, are known to be
stirring up the strongest opposi-
fion.
THE Bay Island district Is fully
entitled to this form OF cheap
transportation of its products to
Tacoma" said Slayden.
"If there was mainland all the
way from Tacoma to this district
there would be no question about
expensive roads to serve the peo-
pie there to build up this terri

to sing. Stopping in the middle
of note, as suddenly as he had
begun, he exclaimed:
There! I've got It this time!"
Jumping down from his perch
he exclaimed: Get up there your

Somewhat to her own surprise,
Octavia put a hand in one of his,
then found herself standing upon
the high stool, surveying the
wasted elevation of the restored
castle.
"Why, yes. one does get the
whole effect. 1t is really i'm
pressive."
And now she realized more fully
the importance of the undertake
ing, this rebuilding Of walls and
towers and terraces. She also
realized, for the first time. that,
all these RESERVATIONS, on such a
\ scale, implied an expenditure OF
money that neither her father nor
grandfather could afford. For,
while Drumworth revenues were
princely, so also was the Drum
worth cost OF living. So also were
the Drumworth debts. And in
the stately struggle between the
present Earl and his expenses the
Earl was not always the victor.

CHAPTER III.
Rase1DOrD.

Entering her own garden, Octa-
via sat upon bench and did
some thinking.
Why should her father make
secret of this architect and his
work? And who of her family 80
rich as to undertake these prOdi-
gal reservations? And, above all,
why should her father conceal
from hs own daughter. from the
sole heir of the castle itself, such
a supremacy important-almost
public-undertaking?
That day, however, brought no
chance for enlightenment. On the
following morning, she again
wendell her way toward the Ba-
frontal Hall.
The architect had a companion
this morning, and as this COM
panion advanced to greet Octavia
she uttered an exclamation. 1t
Twas not a cry of Joy or admira-
ltion.
| Good morning. Don't mind
him. He isn't half so bad as he
looks"
Moving around the dog In a
lsemicircle, to avoid any possible
contact, Octavia stood before the
drawings.
After a brief silence, broken by
a sigh from Octavia, Lovejoy
looked up. 81 hope you are not

charming manner-and more than
goOd-loOking-he was, upon all
occasions, in every home, in every
club, at any function, public or
private. not only welcome but a
much desired guest.
Fastening through the great
hall Octavia stopped for moment
and looked over the letters of the
last mail as they lay upon the
table. One of these letters was
addressed to Mr.. Ethan Lovejoy.
The letter was from New York.
AS she held this letter Lord
Aylesden entered.
Father, who is Ethan Love-
joy?"
"Who?-oh - Ethan Lovejoy?
That is a man | am having some
business with. You know Ruther-
ton is here?"
Yes. l will be down in a mo-
ment. This is a curious stamp. Is
your LovejOy man an American"
Il believe he is"
The conversation at lunch, half
an hour later, seemed to drift
quite naturally in transatlantic
direction, particularly as Mr..
Rutherton had recently returned
from 1.-THE states"
Tell me about the American
women, Mr.. Rutherton. They are
pretty, are they not?" And Oc-
tavia leaned slightly forward with
an obvious yearning for knowl-
edge.
Yes, pretty. But their voices
-" and Mr.. Rutherton raised
his eyebrows and slowly shook his
head.
And did you find the men,"
Lady Octavia inquired, "less at
tractive than the women"
II like the men; they talk less
and say more"
Later on. the repast finished,
the four persons entered the long
drawing room. Here they paused
before a large photograph of the
king. Much impressed by this
portrait, the guest congratulated
his host upon being the recipient
of SO personal a gift.
but do you not think and
Octavia's tone implied an amiable
regret, that it loses something
of it's dignity by all those trinkets
across the breast?'

Auntie George, looking still more
closely, chose are the most ex-
elusive foreign orders presented
by other monarchs."
81 know they are. but monarchs
are i'm the habit of exchanging
those things just as they would
exchange visiting cards. And they
signify even less"
Auntie Georges eyes opened
wider and her lips parted. Had
her niece cursed the Church OF
England the shock could hardly
have been more severe. Lord
Aylesden frowned. But Mr.. Ruth
erton, with elevated eyebrows, re-
garded the speaker in amused as
tonishment-and admiration.
While Rutherton-, was enjoying
one of his hosts choicest cigars
upon the terrace, Octavia, by a
careless question, again started
the guest upon the subject in
which she had so suddenly taken
an interest. And he depicted, in
few words, the inevitable condi-
tons in a new and purely COM
mercial country where the people
were, of necessity, initiative in
social matters and backward III
intellectual development, yet
happy and self-satisfied. And in
SO doing he innocently furnished
Lady Octavia with ammunition
for her attack upon the Yankee
invader.

When your kidneys hurt and your

and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with q mild, harmless salts which re.
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal activ-
ity. The function Of the kidneys is to
filter the blood In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains OF acid and
waste, 30 we can readily understand
the vital Importance OF keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots Of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharma.
cist about four ounces Of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass Of
water before breakfast each morning
for few days and your kidneys will
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid OF grapes and lemon
Juice, combined with hthia, and has
been used for generations to clean and
stimulate clogged kidneys; also to
neutralize the acids in urine so 1t no

THE BUILDING
OF A COUNTRY
The Natural Pride of Those Who
Take Part in 1t.


To those who have built railroads
through and across the prairies OF
Western Canada, connecting that great
empire of grain and cattle, horse and
sheep with the worlds markets in the
east, must be awarded the privilege
Of looking upon their work, and its
results with pardonable pride. If they
"Reminiscences, and tell of the hardships
and the privations, why shouldn't

the buffalo roamed and fed, are now
alive with cities, towns and villages.
Farms-large and small-on which
machinery has chased the bugaboo OF
laborious work off the farm, and max
ing farm life one of the most pleasant
and prosperous Of occupations-are
being cultivated by men of the highest
stamp OF manhood. Many of these
have inherited from their forebears
the physical strength and the high
type of manliness that was theirs in
the days when they hewed their homes
out of the virgin forest, and made
them what may be seen today, beau
tiful farms in the east On the whole
the western prairies breed a high type
Of manhood, wrest from him faults
and diseases which would be his were
It not for the upbuilding influence and
character Of prairie life.
When the builder OF the western Ca
madam prairie looks upon the result Of
his work, why shouldn't his chest ex-
pand? 1t was probably some of this
feeling of pride that took possession
of Sir Donald Mann, vice president Of
the Canadian Northern Railway the
other day in Winnipeg, when he said:
Il am not in the habit of giving ad-
vice, but have no hesitation Of advis-
ing the young men Of Canada, every
young man, to get out and get piece
Of western Canada's land that now
can be had for the asking and be their
own masters"
1T was SO years ago when first
came to Winnipeg" he said. AT that
time there were less than 10000
people west OF Lake Huron in Canada,
and the only bit Of railway in opera
tion was between st. Boniface and EN-
erson-about sixty miles. Today there
are nearly 10000 miles Of railway in
actual operation and the population is
over two and quarter million, a won
derful achievement in such short pc
riod you will agree, when you have
contemplated 1t moment"
AT that time all the -four, meat and
many other supplies for our contracts
were brought from the States. Now
consider what the west is doing to
day. You have a grain production OK

a comparatively small area of the till
able land of the country is occupied
Five years hence you will be more
than doubling that. "-Advertlsement

tary question, Pike Pease says that the
amount OF deposits in the post Office
savings banks in England and Wales
according to the last return, dated De.

1t is estimated that the total at

less than this figure.
