veins were pricking cold. What did he
know, what could any one know of the
Miwaka, the ship of which nothing
ever was heard except the beating of
the Indian Drum2 She tried to make
him say more but he looked away now
down to the lake.
"The Chippewa must have come in
early this morning." he said. "She's
lying In the harbor; saw her on my
way to the telegraph Office. If Mr..
Spearman has come back with her, tell

She offered to drive him to Petos-
key, but he already had arranged for

She went to her room after he was
gone and spread out again on her bed

Stafford of the Miwaka-with the
knife and coins of more than twenty
years ago which came with It, The

that, undoubtedly, was what had so
greatly stirred him: but she could not
yet reassemble her ideas. Yet few
facts had become plain.
A maid came to say that Mr.. Spear
man had come up from his boat for
breakfast with her and was down
stairs. She went down to find Henry
lounging in one Of the great wicker
chairs in the living room. He arose
and came toward her quickly; but she
halted before he could seize her.
"What's wrong, dear?"
"Aian Conrad has been here, Henry"
"He has? How was that?"
She told him while he watched her
intently. "He wired to Buffalo about
the watch. He got reply which he
brought to me half an hour ago."
"YesY
"The watch belonged to Captain
Stafford who was lost with the Mi
waka, Henry"
He made no reply; but waited.
"You may not have known that 1t
was his; l mean, you may not have
known that 1t was he who rescued the
people of the Winnebago. but you must
have known that Uncle Benny didn't"
"Yes; knew that, Connie" he an

"Then why did you let me think the
watch was his and that he must be-

"That's all's the matter7 You had
thought he was dead. I believed it was
better for you-for every one-to be-
lieve that"
She drew little away from him,
with hands clasped behind her back,
gazing intently at him. There was
some writing found In Uncle Benny's
house In Astor street-a list of names

CANADIAN RECIPROCITY.

washington newspaper correspondent says the
Canadian Reciprocity Act of the for
the defeat of the Republican Party in the 1910 Con-
gressonal elections The fact is the Canadian Recip
roclty Act was passed in 1911 after the 1910 elections
had occurred, and it received the support of the
Democrats well that of the Republicans. The
House of Representatives which passed the law con-
tanned a Democratic majority while the Republicans
were still in control of the Senate.
The circumstance that the law passed at that time
SVll on the statute books and only requires accept
ance by Canada to become effective might have
bearing on the status of the question of reciprocity
in the future 1t is true that the tariff which
passed the House of Representatives last fall con-
tanned provision repeating the Reciprocity Act but
an effort will be made to eliminate the provision
when the measure comes before the Senate. 1t is
said that most of the Eastern Republican Senators and
most of the Democrats will support the elimination
proposal.
Those who are supporting Canadian reciprocity
contend that the United States should encourage in
every way possible the extension trade with Canada
Canadian trade, and the balance in favor of the
United States, reached the highest point under the
Underwood Tariff Law which gave Canada practically
eevrything that that country under the
provisions of the Reciprocity Act And under the
Underwood Tariff, the Americans sold to Canadians
considerably more than three times as much food
stufs as they purchased from them. The imports of
foodsufs from Canada in 1913 for instance amount
ed to $56OO00O0 and the export of foodstus to that
country amounted to 1854 100000. The total bal
ance of trade in favor of the United States in 1920
was $366,0O0,000 and in 1921 it was S257 900 900

The fight to have jurisdiction public lands

The farm bloc is backing this legislation because
the counrys organized agricultursts determined
to prevent the settlement of public lands until
they have showed prices for their products to what
they consider reasonable figure
They favor administration by the Department of
Agriculture because they believe it will be more amen
