ARE MORE INDEPENDENT NOW
One Effect of the War on the Women
of France Is to "American-
ize" Them.

In general way one might say that
lied the women of France. That is,
in the sense of our current expression
"a PAmericaine," it has given her more
freedom of action, more independence
in manners and spirit. 1t has elm
inated-especially as far as young
girls are concerned-many little con-
ventions which really tended to become
less rigorous anyway, but which the
strong winds of the last two years
happenings have entirely blown away.
Some twenty years ago the daugh-
tiers of good families began to acquire
the right to take a walk without q
chaperOne, something unheard-of, I'M
imaginable, to their mothers. Now
they fare forth unattended to the hos
pitfalls, to their works of charity, which
have multiplied greatly during the
war.
But it is their relations to the young
men that have undergone the most
radical changes. Mademoiselle keeps
up correspondence with her "god-
sons" and with her childhood friends
in the army. The ever-present thought
that these young men may at any mo-
ment vanish out of the world has rem
dered them inexpressibly more dear to
everyone, and so parents have accord
ed this liberty which tradition up to
now had refused.-Cartoons Magazine.

one hand resting on air, one foot ex-

again.

said. what did you find? Where is
Miss Gabelle?"
There was no answer. Emmanuel

I'm sure there Is nothing the matter

to do?"9aJ s2t @
Tarrant bounded forward out of his
chair and positively glared at her.
do you mean to tell us you don't
know that the experiment has been
performed?" he asked. COR is that
part of the gamer"
Miss Gabelle rose up and looked at
him Indignantly. 81 don't know what

answered, "but If any experiment has
been performed during the five min

then, all ! can say is must have beer

Tarrant backed out of the range OF
those indignant eyes. Miss Gabelle
turned to the Captain.

said, "if you feel well enough. Do
you? You know, you have to be at
that big Salvationist meeting tomor-
row morning" She seemed to speak
with real concern.
"Salvationist meeting?" queried
Clough in perplexity. 20, yes, to be
sure. But, Miss Gabelle, didn't 1 tell
you that I was going to sever my
connection with the organization? It's
not that don't believe in it, of course,
but still-well, its appeal is a little
limited, isn't it? Between you and
me, can do more good in the field
of organized charity"
I noticed that she was clinging to
his arm as they left the room.
Tarrant looked at Emmanuel when
they had gone. He stared and stared
Then, without word, he clapped on
his hat and left the room.
And there you have the story. AS ]
have said, looked at one way 1t is a
simple matter Of scientific interest
But, looked at in another, it is a mod.

version the next day, when I called to

tor, that the one was all soul and
the other all body. And Clough, by
reason of his great love for her, did
what Orpheus is tabled to have done
for Eurydice; he went down into hell
and found her again. You know, those
myths all have some psychological
meaning. / imagine that he got to
that region where all souls are merged
in the world-soul, which we call God
and that there he gave her, what she
lacked, out of his superfiuity. That's
all; as you know, it got beyond my
control"
"Or," hazarded Tarrant, perhaps
the power of imagination stirred her
better nature into activity"
eff you prefer to put it that way,
replied the Doctor.
And they were married, Of course
and lived together with mutual devo-
ton. AS Tarrant says, Nature knows

Don't think that you will lose your

ION the contrary, if thought for one
moment that / was doing evil l would

your mind easy and sit down in that

Clough took his seat and Emmanuel
went to a chest and brought back a
small instrument consisting of a kind
of glass ball, suspended from a chain
The chain terminated in a common
corded wire and socket, which he at

He turned the switch and instantly
the ball began revolving with tremen

round the room, looking at the furni-

seemed to know that any other person

conscious Of each others presence.
They kept about two PAGES apart and
moved as though strung on single
cord. When one approached the win
dow, SO did the other. When one sat
down again the other followed suit.
Emmanuel looked at them as hope
lessly as we. He pushed Clough
gently down upon the sofa, and in
stantly Miss Gabelle crouched near

on air.

PAYS FOR 16O
ACRES OF LAND
From the Crop of Wheat on So
Acres in Western Canada.

This story Of paying for your land
out Of one years crop is fully anthem
ticated by great many farmers in
Western Canada.
And now, all that the farmer makes
is velvet and you find him going more
extensively into stock raising, for all
authorities agree that in short time
there will be a demand for live stock,
such as even will tax the vast re-
sources of Western Canada. They
will go into stock raising because Of
the adaptability of the country to pro-
vide food and fodder without feeding
grain If necessary. They will go into
stock and improve their places. They
| will install steam and heating plants
in fact, many are now doing it. They
| will have automobiles, in fact in many
| districts there is not farmer but has
| one. They will beautify their homes
| and erect fine barns until the whole
| country will be as attractive as many
| Of the counties in the best states in
| the Union. But we started out to tell
| you Of the farmer who paid for 100
|
off Of So acres. The Holden district
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 100 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
5000. His land cost him $16.50 per
acre, or $3.50. So that the crop from
the SO 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
| of other farmers in Alberta and Sas-
katchewan having been able to do the
same.
Sales of land are being reported
from many districts in Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta at good prices.
And values are yet low, but with the
flow of any value that will take place
after the war, no doubt they will be
considerably increased. The home
steads in the Park sections which are
to be had actually free are having
the attention Of a good class of set
tiers, who want to go into mixed farm
