CHAPTER Ix-continued.

From far away the drone of the call
er sounded in voice familiar, and
Fairchild looked up to see the narrow
eyed, Scared face of Squint Rodaine
who was officiating at the wheel. He
lost interest in the game; lackadais-
icaIly he placed the buttons on their
squares as the numbers were shouted,
finally to brush them all aside and de-
sert the game. His hatred of the Ro-
DANES had grown to a point where
he could enjoy nothing with which
they were connected, where he de-
spised everything with which they
had the reInotest adiliation-excepting
of course, one person. And as he rose,
Fairchild saw that she was just enter
ing the dance hall.
Only moment he hesitated Mau-
rice Rodaine. attired in a mauve frock
suit and the inevitable accompanying
beaver. had stopped to talk TO some
one at the door. She stood alone, look
ing about the hall, laughing and nod
ding-and then she looked at him
FairchiId did not wait
From the platform at the end of the
big room the tiddIes had begun to
squeak, and the caller was shouting
his announcements. Couples began to
iine up on the floor. The callers voice
grew louder:
"One more coupie-then the dance
starts One more couple, lady an a
gent! One more"
"Pleaset" Robert Fairchild had
reached her and was holding forth his
hand. She looked up in half surprise,
then demurred
''But 1 don't know these old Dances"
Neither do I-or any other, for that
matter" lie confessed with sudden
boldness. But does that make any
difference? Please!"
She glanced quickly toward the
door Maurice Rodaine was still talk
ing. and Fatrchiid saw a little gleam
come into her eyes-the gleam that
shows when woman decides to make
some one pay for rIdeness.
Fairchlid's hand was still extended
Again Anita Richmond glanced toward
the door. chucliled to herself while
Fairchild watched the dimples that the
merriment caused. and then-Fairchild

were worn and old. He was going

GATHER IN WHEAT
Farmers of Western Canada Re-
joice at Harvest.
Largest Crop In the History Of the
Fertile Provinces May Be Con-
sIdereI Assured.

Reports of Western .Canada's whea.
crop, which may be considered fairly
accurate. as they are made at the
end OF the season, when the crop Is
fully harvested, would Indicate q
yield of between 35O,O0OOOO and 37O.-
100000 bushels from total acreage
Of 21,471, 900. This Is the greatest
yield In the history of the provinces
of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Al
berta This immense yield has only
been harvested through the combined
energies of all public bodies-rnil-
ways and governments. 1t required
the assistance, outside of that locally
employed, of upward of 10000 men.
These were brought into the country
from the East, the West and the
South, by traInloads, and rushed for
ward at express speed, to be placed in
the different districts, under the dlrec-
tion of officials who were kept advised
daily, by wire, of the needs.
As a result of this combined effort
the largest wheat crop in the history
of the West was successfully harvest
ed. The threshing reports show that
of the country, the grain graded high.
In very few places did rain interfere
with stacking The province of Mani
tOba was the first to complete thresh-
Ing, very few fields being left at the
time of writing.
Portions of Saskatchewan that had
suffered from drought for the past
two or three years reaped crop that
largely made up for past disappoint-
ments.
In Alberta there was strange con-
dftion. In the central district, always
noted for its heavy yields, there was
considerable of falling Off instead
of the 35 and 40 bushel yields the
average ran from 10 to 10. while in
southern portions. where drought had
affected the country for some time
past, there were exceptionally high
yields.
Reports of Individual yields in diff
ferent portions Of the three provinces
lead to the impression that when
threshing returns are in there will he
found to have been n rluch better crop
than at present seems possible. Some
of these returns give individual farm
ers as getting as high as 45 bushels
others 30, and so on, while In some
districts, where In early August not
more than 8 or 10 bushels might be
looked for, Is and 1S bushels are re-
corded, the Improvement having been
brought about by rains that worked
marvels in the appearance of the crop.
And then, too. instead of the head
carrying four rows. most of them car
-ied six rows. and filled to the top,
which, to those who know, means at
least fifty per cent more.
The rye crop of all Western Can
ada is exceptionally good; the oats
generally good and barley fair.
The weather at the time of writing
b threatening for rainy spell. which
may interfere with threshing. and pro
long it somewhat.
Most of the newcomers from the
States have excellent crops During
August, the trains to Western Canada
carried hundreds of capitalists and
others interested in Western Canada
land, going up to take care of the crop
that they had arranged to have put
in on the land they owned. Very few
of them will be disappointed.-Adver
