him-and still-no telling what Buck
Olney might do when he discovered
that he was not in any immediate dan

Then he removed his boots by the
simple method of Sitting the legs with
Bucks knife, barred his broken leg in
the same manner, braced himself men
tally and physically, gritted his teeth
and went doggedly to work.
A man never knows just how much
he can endure or what he can do until
he is making his last stand in the fight
for self preservation. Ward had no
mind to lie there and die of blood poi
soning, for instance, and broken bones
do not set themselves. So, sweating
and swearing with the agony of it, he
set his leg and bound the splints in
place and thanked the Lord it was a
straight, clean break and that the flesh
was not torn.
Then he dropped back upon the bed

Fortune KICKS Again.
TT was past noon when Ward rode
down the steep slope to the creek
bank just above his cabin. He was
vunk deep in that mental depression
which so often follows close upon the
heels of great outburst of passion.
Mechanically he twitched the reins and
sent Rather down the last shelf Of bank
and he did not look up to see just
where he was. Rather was well train
ed horse, since he was Wards. He
,obeyed the rein signal and stepped off a.
two foot bank into nest OF loose piled
rocks that slid treacherously under his
feet. Sure footed, though he was, he
stumbled and fell, and it was sheer in
stinct that took Wards feet from the
-stirrups in time.
Ward sprawled among the rocks,
,dazed. The shock Of the fall took him
out of his Git of abstraction and he
pulled away from Rather as the horse
scrambled up and stood shaking before
him. He tried to scramble up also.

WESTERN CANADA'S
CEREAL CROP
One of the Best Ever Harvested.

The cereal crop of Western Canada
for 1917 was the most valuable one
ever harvested; the returns from all
classes of live stock have been equally
satisfactory. The wool clip was not
only greater than in any previous year,
but the price obtained was double that
of 1915, which in turn was almost
double that of the year before.
AS was the case in 1915 and 1916,
many farmers were able to pay for
| their land outright with the proceeds
of their first years crop. Further evil
dence of the prosperity of Western
Canada is shown by the fact that one
in every twenty of the population is
now the owner of an automobile. If
the farming community alone is taken,
1T will be found that the proportion Of
automobile owners is still greater. The
bank clearings of the leading cities of
Western Canada were consistently
higher than they were in the CORE
spending periods of 1916, and then they
were higher than the year preceding.
In Winnipeg S5OO,O00,0OO more was
cleared in the IL months ending No
vember 80 than in the same months
year ago.
The entry of the United States into
the war has strengthened the bonds
between that country and Canada. We
are now working together for the
same ends. Those who are not fighting
are promoting greater production Of
foodstuffs. In this connection Western
Canada offers wonderful opportu-
nifty. Not only can larger quantities
of staple foodstuffs be produced, but
the cost of production is lower and the
remuneration greater than where land
Is more expensive. Notwithstanding
the fact that the price of farm prod
ucts has doubled during the past three
years, there are millions of acres of
arabic land in Western Canada which
can still be bought at a low price.
Western Canada has an enormous
acreage prepared for seeding to wheat
In 1918. 1t is larger than in 1917, and
will probably surpass the record area
put into crop in the year 1915, when
The largest crop ever known in the
West was harvested. The year 1918
should also see further increase in
i've stock activity. :
Farmers have been investing consid-
arable sums in cattle; the high prices
secured for wool and mutton have
opened the eyes of Western farmers to
he possibilities of sheep, and such was
he demand for breeding animals last
all that it was impossible to meet it
dequately; the campaign for greater
log production is expected to yield an
Increase of between % and so per cent

Those who are contemplating coming

upon this very crisis in her life. But
whenever she had tried to think what
1t would be like she had always pic

She had felt sure that Ward would

urges DEVELOPMENT
OF METAL INDUSTRY
Secretary Lane Believes 1t Would
Help Transport Service.

Secretary Lane believes that 2.OOO,O0C
tons of shipping can be converted to
the transport service to Europe
through the development of American
metal mines.
Two million tons of cryolite from
Greenland. ferro-manganese from
Great Britain. pyrites from Spain.
graphite and mica from Ceylon and
Zanzibar, nitrates and manganese
from South America, tungsten from
South America, Korea and Siam.
zinc and nickel from Australia and
chromite from the Malayan Archi-
pelago are yearly imported into the
United States. says Secretary Lane.
They are vitality needed in the manu-
facture of munitions.
These and many more similar metals
exist in the United States, but in
deposits difficult to handle or never
developed.
''At the present time" says Secre-
tary Lane. every ship that can be
spared is badly needed to extend our
military operations in France. Ameri-
can mines can produce all of these
milerals providing they are given the
necessary assistance by the Federal
government. I have asked Congress
for a special appropriation so that a
large force of metallurgists can be
set to work Immediately on the neces-
sary changes in practice to use the
lower grade ores"
