could see but one person; a boy Of
thirteen or fourteen who looked
through crack in a board fence,
steadfastly keeping an eye tothis aper-
ture, and as ! continuously calling
through 1t, holding his head to one
level for this purpose, but at the same
time dancing-and dancing tauntingly,
1t was conveyed-with the other parts
of his body. His voice was now sweet,
now piercing, and again far too
dulcet with the overkindness Of bur-
lesque,; and If, as it seemed, he
was unburdening his spleen, his spleen
was powerful one, and gorged. He
appeared to be in torment of tor
menting; and his success was prove
by the pounding of bricks, and rocl ,
Of size, upon the other side Of the
fence.
"Oh, dollingl" he walled, his tone
poisonously amorous. "Oh, dolling

bled eggs, cold lamb, salad and cof-
fee were quite as ''much of dinner"
as Noble wanted. To him everything
on the table was hallowed, yet shred
ded through and through with an ex-
circulating melancholy.
"Now we'll talk |" said Julia, when
she had brought him back to the fire
again, and they were seated before it.
Don't you want to smoker" He
shook his head dismally, having no
heart for what she proposed. "Well,
them" she said briskly, but a little rue
fully, "let's get to the bottom of things
Just what did you mean you had in
black and white In your pocket?"
Slowly Noble drew forth the his
toric copy of the North End Daily Or
iole; and with face averted, placed it
In her extended hand.
''What in the world p she exclaimed,
unfolding 1t; and then as its title and
statement Of ownership came into
view, "Oh, yesl see! Aunt Carrie

Oh, has I dot booful eyes, dolling Pat
tywatty? Yes, I has! has dot
pretty eyes!" His voice rose to an
unbearably piercing climax. "Oh, what
prettiest eyes I dot! Me and Herbie
Atwater! Oh, my booful eyes! Oh,
my booful-''
But even as he reached this apex,
the head, shoulders and arms Of Her
bert Atwater rose mOmentarily above
the fence across the alley, behind the
.tormentor. Herbert's expression was
implacably resentful, and so was the
gesture with which he hurled an OBJ
iect at the comedian pre-occupied with
the opposite fence. This object upon
reaching its goal, as 1t did with more
a splash than a thud, was revealed as
a tomato, presumably in useless
state. The taunter screamed in aston
ishment, and after looking vainly for
an assailant, began necessarily to re-
move his collar, as Noble went Cd his
way.
How blindly we walk our ways! AS
Noble flourished down the street there
appeared wan face at a prison win
dow and the large eyes looked out
upon him wistfully. But Noble went
on, as unwilling that he had to do
with this prison as he was that he
had to do with Master Torbin's to-
mato.
The face at the window was not like
Charlotte Corday's, nor was the win
dow barred, though the prisoner knew
solace In wondering if she did not sug-
gest that famous picture. For all pur-
poses, except during school hours, the
room was certainly cell; and the
term of Imprisonment was set at three
days. Florence had finally been
obliged to face questions awaiting
her; and it would have been better
for her. had she used less Imagination
in answering them.
Yet she was not wholly depressed
as her eyes followed the disappearing
figure of Noble Dill from over the
fence Of the yard whence she had
ventured for better view of Noble,
thereby risking q heavier sentence.
Noble. passed from her sight, but
nevertheless continued his radiant
progress down Julia's street. Life
stretched before him, serene, ineffably
fragrant, unending. He saw 1t as
flower-strewn sequence Of calls on
Julia, walks with Julia, talks with
Julia by the library fire. Old Mr..
Atwater was to be away four days
longer, and Julia, that great-hearted
bride-not-to-be had given him her
promise and sacred word.
Blushing. indeed dtvinely, she had
promised him, upon her sacred word.

CANADA Did Well.
Honors WorthlIyWon at lnterna-
tionaI Live Stock Show.
Friendly Rivalry at Chicago Splendid
ly Revealed the Possibilities of
Our Northern Neighbor.

Further evidence, if any were needed,
Of the friendly relations between Cam
ada and the United States might
have been found by visit to the In
ternational Live Stock Show recently
held at the Chicago Stock Yards.
There the Canadian and American
were to be found side by side in the
friendliest competition, the loser will
lngiy admitting defeat when the other
fellow carried off the blue ribbon
Some OF the Choicest and best Of
Canadian stock was there, and much
Of 1t returned loaded down with rib
bons denoting frsts, championships
that indicate pedigree, breeding and
worth, and cups and trophies that
were won in hard and severe contests.
The hay and grain classes were
points of great interest, and here
Canada did well, securing many
prizes. .
Twenty-Five first prizes were. listed
In the oats class; Canada carried
away % of them. A sample Of oats
from the Province Of Alberta, weigh
Ing 48 pounds to the bushel, was the
heaviest sample in the show. 1t was
Alberta oats that took the sweep
stakes, the exhibitor in this case, J.
W. Lucas, of Cayley, repeating what
he did last year.
In wheat there were 25 first prizes
to be awarded; Canada got % Of
them.
The greatest interest was shown
when the horse classes were called.
Here also Canada stood well to the
front. The Percheron entries showed
that Canada breeders were 3 )ular
and successful exhibitors. Cha lpion-
ships were awarded to number, and
FIRST prizes were common. The same
may be said of Clydesdales. This
breed stood out prominently, there
were many entries, and this old-tima
popular breed had an unusual num-
Der Of admirers. This was especially
SO In "Wee Donald's" case. Here was
Saskatchewan horse, his owner TAX
ing back to Canada the grand cham
pionship. Not only has he done it this
year, but last year as well-two years
In succession something never before
done at the Live Stock show. In
Clydesdales Canada won places in
every class in which entries were
made.
The same story could be repeated In
sheep and hogs, honors being heaped
upon honors on Canadian entries.
Particularly important is the fact that
first prize for alfalfa seed was
awarded for seed grown at Brooks,
Alberta In competition with 43 en-
tries. Alfalfa growing in Western
Canada has been increasing by leaps
and bounds, and this victory will give
it-and the dairy industry, which Ia
always linked with tia further Inn
petus.
A visit to the Canadian government
exhibit Of grains, grasses, vegetables,
fruits, minerals and other products
Of the Dominion to the north, revealed
in tabloid form what the great coun-
try to the north could do. A great
interest was aroused in this exhibit,
and it was greatly admired by visitors
to the Live Stock show. Representa-.
tives Of the government were on hand
for the purpose of giving information
to those desiring it.-Advertisement

The distribution of the population
of China is curious thing to- contem-
plate. A hundred thousand people
may be gathered together within what
might rightly be regarded as city
limits but on the map their city will
be indicated as mere village that Is
not worth considering. Moreover,
