a man who hated him bitterly, who be-
lieved him guilty Of murder, and who
would go through fire to bring punish

power of Macdonald. With the money

WHERE FARMING
IS PROFITABLE
The Future OF Great Possibilities.

Some idea of the great wealth tnat
the Western Canada farmer had In
view few years ago is now being real
lied. The amount received from the
sale of wheat, oats. barley, flax anu
rye in 1917 was $27O,0O0,000, while the
sales of live stock at Winnipeg alone
netted $40000,000 additional. OF this
sum hogs alone gave over eleven mil
lion dollars. The increases at Calgary
and Edmonton were over GA million
dollars.
This money, so easily earned, is be-
ing spent, in improvements in farm
property, purchasing additional land.
buying tractors, automobiles. and Inn
proving home conditions, providing
electric light, steam heat, new furni-
ture, pianos, buying Victory bonds.
paying up old debts, etc.
Over five hundred tractors were sold
In Southern Alberta in 1917. one
implement agent reports that the In
crease in his business in 1917, over
that of 1916, was equal to the total
business in 1915. 1t is the same story
all over the country. And it is not
this evidence alone which proves the
advancement and growth of the three
prairie provinces, but the large in
crease in the number of settlers; the
| improvement in the extent of the cul-
| tivated areas and agricultural produc-
ton; the increase in value of which
over 1916 was S77.0O0,0a0.
This wonderful progress that has

There are millions of acres yet I'M

that which is now giving its owners a
return of from twenty to thirty dollars
an acre, figures that in many cases
represent the cost of the land, with all

that the cost of production has in
creased during the past few years, but
the price of the product has also in
creased to a figure which leaves a
large balance to the credit of the pro-

attracted him in me were the things

"And Gordon likes you, suppose,
for what you are?"
Sheba did not resent the little note
of friendly sarcasm. II suppose he
has his fancies about me, too, but by
the time he finds out what I am he'll
have to put up with me-"
The arrival Of Elliot interrupted con-
fdences. He had come, he said, to re-

they had left mothers or wives or
sweethearts to mourn them.
Macdonald relieved Elliot at break
ing trail and the young man went back
to the gee-pole. They hads discarded
mukluks and wore moccasins and
snowshoes. 1t was hard, SLOW work,
for the trail-breaker had to fight his
way through snow along the best route
he could find. The moon was high
when at last they reached the road

away. Now you're playing it for an
alibi."
Elliot had risen, Sheba stood beside
him, her hand in his. She spoke quietly.
"It's the truth. Believe it or not as
you please. We care nothing about
that"
The stab of her eyes, the carriage of
the slim, plant figure with its sugges-
tion of fine gallantry, challenged her
former lover to do his worst.
On the battered face of Gordon was
smile. So long as his Irish sweet
heart stood by him he did not care If
he were charged with high treason. 1t
was worth all 1t cost to feel the
warmth of her brave, impulsive trust.
The deep-set eyes Of Macdonald
clinched with those of his rival. "You
cached the rest of the gold, suppose"
he said doggedly.
With a Tilt Of his shoulders the
younger man answered lightly: There
are none so blind as those who will not
see, Mr.. Macdonald" He turned to
Sheba. "Come. We must make break

you're going to Kusiak with me-"
his enemy said bluntly.
"After we have eaten, Mr.. Macdon-

bow. perhaps, If you have not had
breakfast yet, you will join u.s."

nounced the mine-owner CURLY, and he
turned on his heel.
The rifle lay where Sheba had
dropped 1t when she ran to gather her
stricken lover into her arms. Macdon-
aid picked it up and strobe over the
brow of the hill without backward
look. He was too proud to stay and
watch them. 1t was impossible to es-
. cape him in the deep snow that filled
the hill trails, and he w6s convinced
they would attempt nothing of the
kind.
The Scotsman felt for the first time
in his life old and spent. Under ire
mendous difficulty he had mushed for
two days and had at last run his men
down. The lust OF vengeance had sat
on his shoulders every mile of the way
and had driven him feverishly for
ward. But the salt that had lent a
SAVIOR to his passion was gone. Even
though he won, he lost. For Sheba had
gone over to the enemy.
With the fierce willfulness Of his
temperament he tried to tread under
foot his doubts about the guilt Of Holt
/ hod pnado him
arrogant and he was not good loser.
He hated the man who had robbed him
of Sheba, but he could not escape re-
! specting him. Elliot had fought until
he had been hammered down into un-
consciousness and he had crawled to
his feet and stood erect with the smile
Of the unconquered on his lips. Was
this the sort Of man to murder In cold
blood a kindly old gentleman who had
never harmed him? e.
The only answer Macdonald found
was that Milton had taken him and
his partner by surprise. They had
been driven to shoot the cashier to
cover up their crime. Perhaps Holt OF
another had fired the actual shots, but
Elliot was none the Jess guilty. The
heart Of the Scotsman was bitter
within him. He intended to see tina,
his enemies paid to the last ounce. He
would hurry them to the gallows Il
money and influence could do it..
None the less, his doubts persisted
If they had planned the bank robbery
why did they wait SO long to buy sup
plies for their escape? Why had they
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1918-04-19

not taken the river instead of the hill
trail? The story that his enemies told
hung together. 1t had the ring Of
truth. The facts supported it.
One piece of evidence in their favor
Macdonald alone knew. 1t lay buried
in the deep SHOWS of the hills. He
shut his strong teeth in the firm re-
solve that 1t should stay there.
The weather had moderated good
deal, but the trail was protected
forest one. The two teams now going
down had come up, so that the path
was packed fairly hard and smooth.
Holt lay propped on his own sled
against the sleeping-bags. Sheba
mushed behind Gordon. She chatted
with them both, but ignored entirely
the existence Of Macdonald, who fol-
lowed with his prize-winning Siberian
dogs.
