CHAPTER FOURTEEN.

Congress had adjourned, and a
week had passed since the publica-
ton of Cholliewollie' article de-
scribing in detail the plan for the
prohibition ION to Washington"
movement. Every newspaper in
the country was carrying daily
stories on it now. From Washing
ton dispatches went out setting
forth the tremendous amount Of
work Smith had to do in order to
arrange for an unprecedentedly
large demonstration which was
only a little less than five weeks
OFF. From other cities and the
smaller towns came the stories OF
how the clergy and the aides Of
the mems and women's prohibi-
tion organizations were working
hand-in-glove and with desperate
enthusiasm to make the thing a
success.
John Smith became the topic
of conversation everywhere, in
Washington, on railroad trains,
and in hotel lobbies throughout
the country. Railroad men checked
up his calculation that he would
use that $1,000, 900 So al to bring
to Washington approximately $50
lpeople from each state in the
union. This was based on the ar.
arrangements with the railroads
which meant that they would
carry each passenger both ways
for the price Of one straight fare.
The experts examined the fig
lures and found them correct.
Hotel managers figured on how
many guests they could accommo-
date, and finally we're persuaded
that they would have to resort to

ticated by a great many farmers in
Western Canada.
And now, all that the farmer makes

authorities agree that in a short time
there win be a demand for live stock,
such as ever will tax the vast re-

on the line of the Grand Trunk Pacific
does not appear to the ordinary OBJ
server to be any better than many
other districts along that line, and
probably isn't. 1t was in this district
that John Larcome, a settler, pur-
chased in 1915 160 acres of raw prai-
RE land. He broke and seeded SO
acres. His crop turned out well, and
he sold the greater portion of it for
$2,970. Ills land cost him $3.50 per
acre, or 5000. So that the crop from
the IS acres paid for the land and left
a balance of over $500, which with
part of the crop left over would Just
pay for the cost of operation. This
is not really an unusual case, hundreds

once at 6 o'clock in the evening.
The agitator had not seen Edith
Manon since the day they had
stood on the edge of the river and
she had showed him so unmistaka-
bly, that she loved him. Her letter
sslove letter-he had not
answered. He realized that she
had meant it as a kind Of temper
airy farewell, a parting message
that she believed, that she had
faith, an assurance that in the end
the matters between them would
come out as they should come out,
and that, until then, she as well as
he, would be patient.
Three days after he had seen
her, he had called a messenger
boy and had sent her a note. It
had consisted only of the one
line:
your face is ever before me"
She did not reply to that. He
had not expected it. And after
ward he had regretted sending it.
He had done it on the impulse Of
the moment, yielding to the long
ing he felt to be ia communication
with her, to let her know that
always, no matter what his bust
ness might be, his thoughts were
with her and about her.
Waller had told him that the
Mallons, like other senatorial
households, had decided to stay
on in Washington, since the late
adjournment of congress made
the term between the old and the
new session SO short. Mallon, not
being up for reelection, had
nothing to take him back to
Ohio.
In his own heart Smith felt
that, as Edith had written him, he
was his own tomorrow.
II shall go through with this
work which is at hand" he told
himself, walking to his apartment
early one morning. "F'rom that,
there may come-who knows?"
He thought that success in the
one might mean happiness in all
things. Then he smiled as he re-
membered one Of Cholliewollie s
remarks:
"An newspaper men and poll

held up SO that the other could see

 The waste of human life makes the deepest impression on these Green. flanders, according to Governor Dan- gaard. "The Eskimo believes it wick ed to kill humans he went on. He kills all animals and thinks he has a perfect right to do so, but he shrinks from the thought of taking human life.

 The governor summed up the Greenlander's unique position which, he remarked, may have something to do with his detachment from the war. "The Greenlander,"' he said, has these advantages:
 "He has no army to support.
 He has no navy to worry about.
 There are no policemen in Green. land
 He has no taxes to pay.
 There are no movie shows or the atres.

ESKIMO AGAINST TAKING HUMAN

tBy Associated Press)

LONDON, Feb. 10. - The Eskimos or Greenland are probably the only people in Europe who are not inter- ested in the outcome of the great war. Such is the impression given by Jen Danguard lmsen, governor of Green land, who has come all the way to London to appear as witness in a claim of the Danish government to a cargo of fish seized by the British as prize of war.
 They have heard of the war" said the governor, but they have only a vague impression of the gigantic struggle. Two Eskimo papers that are published once a month give them rough idea of the conflict, but the isaaes are entirely foreign to them.
