CHAPTER SIXTEEN.

Bishop Rexall, the head Of the
biggest diocese of a great church,
had been glad to receive Mr..
John Smith. j
"Ten me-" he said, what is it
you wish?"
His thin, sensitive lips moved
slowly, as if he had learned long
ago the power Of all spoken words.
He drummed lightly on the arm Of
his chair with his long, slender
fingers, and his clear, gray eyes,
as he looked at the agitator, were
eloquent Of wisdom and under
standing. In spite Of his white
hair and his great age, he was
strong. His strength was evident
even as he sat far down in his
chair, SO that he seemed to rest on
the small of his back, his legs
crossed, his right foot moving
slowly up and down with the reg
ularity Of a pendulum. His
benevolence was upon him like a
mantle. Any one, upon seeing him,
sensed it and knew it, almost as
if it had been a tangible, visible
thing.
It was within three weeks ofthe
date set for the prohibition pa
rade'-this being the name the
public had given the demonstra-
ton. Smith, his wonderful viva
city undiminished by the work he
had done and was doing, had
icome into the room with his ac-
customed famelike ardor - and
this had suggested to the bishop
the atmosphere Of youth that al
ways was about John Smith. The
older man maryelled that one who
seemed SO young could have ac-
complished so much, or could have
persuaded others to go with him
into the undertaking.
1T is very simple, what I have
come to ask, Smith explained.

asked.

GREAT DEMAND
FOR CANADIAN LAND
Americans Are Buyers and Be-
coming Settlers-Anxious to
Get Cheap and Produc-
tive Land.

Reports are to hand that there Will
be a large influx of settlers from the
United States into the Canadian West
during the coming Spring. For a time
there has been a falling of, on account
Of the fear Of conscriptioa, which Of
course was not possible, and which the
Canadian Government gave every as
surance would not be put into opera
ton. In any cas- 1t would not affect
the American settler, and more than
that the man who vas working on the
farm. helping to produce the grain
that goes to feed those who are at war,
would not be affected.
The excellent yields Of the Western
Canada crops, and the high prices Sc
cured is having its influence on those
locking for homes. The authenticated
reports hat have been sent out from
time to time that this farmer and that
farmer had paid for their entire farm
holdings out Of n crop has reached
the ears of the man looking for a farm.
When he hears that G. III. Beatty of
Nanton, Alberta, had 679 bushels of
wheat from u acres or an average of
56R bushels, to the acre, he becomes
Interested. When he learns that Sid
ney q. Phillips of Beddeford, Alberta,
threshed ten hundred ana fifty-three
bushels OF wheat, the average being
52R bushels per acre, his interest is
further aroused. Thos. Long of Leth-
bridge had 100 bushels of oats to the
acre from a field of 2e5 acres, w.
Quinn of Milk River had 6,994 bushels
of wheat from 100 acres, an average
Of 60 bushels per acre, and Robert
Tackaberry of Nobleford makes affida-
Wit that he had an average Of seventy
SIX bushels of wheat per acre from a
field of 1868 acres. Thos. BouRton Of the
same place makes affidavit that from
fifty acres he had a yield Of 6fty-three
bushels of wheat per acre. Newell J.
Mobiles affidavit Of getting "a bushels
per acre from 1000 acres stands out
most strongly as evidence Of what the
wheat grower can do. This affidavit is
strengthened by a paragraph stating
that he had 122 bushels and 80 lbs. per
acre from 394.69 acres. Mrs. Nancy
Coe makes affidavit that on her farm
Il 1NObiClO1u SAlS IL SSllCu 6A EAlCu-
sand one hundred and ten bushels Of
wheat from n hundred and fifteen
acres, or ffty-three bushels and eight
lbs. per acre, and from q fax field
(stubble feld) she got 20 bushels and
3S pounds per acre.
1t cannot be said that these were
freak yields because SO many had such
great success. When these reports are
read, the man looking for a farm be-
comes convinced.
These are only a few Of the seasons
that will cause q large influx Of Amer
lean farmers into, the Canadian West
during the coming Spring.
The farmers now resident In Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta are
purchasing additional lands. Prices
r low and Free homestead land can
be had in many districts and the home
steader is Observation-Disclosures.

mote way to Edith to deny or dis
cuss her love for John Smith. All
she sensed was that the girl before
her had told her a story which
might mean his ruin and hers
the destruction Of their hope of
happiness. And blindly, vaguely,
the pity of it same home to her.
1t was as if she had heard the
story of a plot to stab a man in
the back, to strike him from the
dark-a great, strong man who,
at that moment, was doing a thing
which commanded the attention
of the whole country, a thing that
must result benefcently for the
nation.

Edith already was making up
her mind as to what she should do.
"You don't know where [ could

Yes, of course, Edith agreed

say.

almost always right. Now, III tell
you - there's somebody in this
town trying to ruin that Mr..
Smith-you know the man they
say you're in love with"
"How do you mean ~ ruin
him?" Edith asked the question
very slowly.
"There's somebody that knows
something about his past"
"Who knows it2" This time it
was the older woman who leaned
forward.
GA horrid mana man named
Simpson"
What does he know! Tell me,
child, what does he know?"
Elise gave her opinion.
Its something awful" she
said, her doll like eyes looking
like moons.
Edith got up and went owe and
sat down beside her.
Something awful?'' she ques-
toned.
$50 awful that it's going to
ruin Mr.. Smith"
Edith uneonsciously grasped
her by the arm.
"TeH me! Tell me!'' she said, a
little fiercely. "What is it?"
While Edith chung to her arm,
Elise elaborated her story.
"Mr. Simpson was up in the Of
fee looking for Mr.. Mannersley.
He said he had something impor-
tant to tell Mr.. Mannersley. Then
he ran into Mr.. Mitchell, the
whisky man, and I heard him tell
Mr.. Mitchell he knew who Mr..
Smith was. / couldn't hear much
because I was over at my desk in
the corner and they talked low.
Mr.. Mitchell looked around in a
minute and saw I was listening.
So they went into the committee
meeting room and had a talk, and
then Mr.. Mitchell left the Simp-
son man in there while he went i'll
to talk to Mr.. Mannersley. It was
the day Mr.. Smith came up there
and Mr.. Waller was there, and
"You say Mr.. Waller was there
|-when?" Edith's brows were
drawn together. She was trying
to visualize everything Elise was
saying.
"Mr. Waller didn't hear any Of
the conversation. He came in a
little ahead of Mr.. Smith, but he
saw the funny look Simpson gave
Mr.. Smith when he met him on his
way out"
Edith still had hold Of the girls
arm.
"TelI mel" she said tensely.
"What is it you think this mar
Simpson knows?"
cts something about a woman
something disgraceful." Elsie
Dade the statement positively.
why do you say that? Tell
me! Why do you say that2"
Il caught the word woman
and something about left before
they went into the next room,''
Elise explaining how she had
worked out her theory. "And-
and the rest was intuition -
woman's intuition, You See"
For a moment Edith was sus-
picious. It flashed into. her mind
that, for some reason, the agita-
tors enemies wanted to discredit
him with her.
why have you come to me
with this story?" she demanded,
shaking Elise arm.
Elise looked at her in unfeigned
amazement.
Why she took a great
flight into the high notes-you
and Mr.. Smith love one another,
don't you2"
Edith still was avid of informa-
ton.
And that's why you came to
me?'.
Why, Of course! Didn't I tell
you / liked romance, real ro-
nance? Amt / got a heart, deep
feelings, and all thatf Everybody

"But you don't know who he

"Don't you think sO?'
Mrs. Kane began to laugh, and
changed her mind. She leaned far
back in the ridiculously large
chair and looked at Edith with a
glance that, for once, was prefer
naturally solemn. Something like
tears-something like the mist
after rain-came like a curtain
over the soft blue of her eyes.
Then, impulsively, she sprang up
and went over to Edith and kissed
her.

has solved the problem of how to
