It "was one of the many jaunts that bad to in some visit- included a : for we dre good nese boy had provided the time passed pleasantly enough, although to me, of course, the ruins of Eldorado City were a familiar and not altogether amusing story. Yet when a coyote ap- peared in the open doorway of the oll Golden Light dance hall and a string of bats came flitting from the entrance of Denny Monahan's tunnel I will con- fess that the moon!it wreckage took on an uncanny appearance not altogether devoid of Interest. As a climax it had been planned to explore this tunnel, known as Denny Monahan's Lead, from the old Irish- man, who had dug steadily into the mountalil for three years, bringing out some gold, breaking in upofi a seeming- ly limitless limestone cavern and even- tually disappearing forever in® this pit which he had dug. McNanon led the way in, unreeling as he went the cord which was to guide our return, and with lighted candles the rest of us followed in line. Above us the bats passed out in a continuots stream, and amid tiny shrieks of delight and trepida- tion from the ladies we proceeded to the limits of the tunnel and out into the ndtural eavern that had swallow- ed up the body and, so the delightful tradition ran, the treasure of Denhy Monahan. The play of candlelight up- on the glittering drops of moisture, the curious formations of onyx and lime- stone, the infinitely repeated echoes, all called forth their share of admiration, and, although the footing was becom ing more difficult, we continued on- ward, the Lunger taking the lead in order to leave McNanon free to man- age his cord. Fatigug began to manifest {tself In the cessation of talk and laughter, and when one of the ladies In the rear of the procession called out some belated Jest of the Lunger the boy glanced back in surprise. The next Instant he disappeared as If blotted out. I saw McNanon leap back, heard a dull splash, and then Knowlton hrushed past me, tearing off his coat as he ran He, too, plunged out of sight, and we heard sounds of a struggle in water dnd of some one gasping: for breath. Holding my candle over the brink of the pit into which the Lunger had fallen, I could faintly discern the gHm- mer of water below me, but nothing more. The sound of splashing had ceased also, and for a long time we waited in breathless silence for some reassuring nolge from below. Then from out the darkness to the left the even volce of the young Englishman startled us. "(pme a bit this way with that can- dle, will you?' A moment later he appeared, scram- bling up the sloping rocks at the side, carrying the Lunger like a child in his arms. "I fancy he's knocked his head a bit on the stones down there," he re- marked in a level conversational tone as he laid the dripping burden down. Then as Mrs. Loring bent over the un- conscious boy he picked up his coat and stepped to one side. Ten minutes later the Lunger was able to stand and, leaning on Loring's arm, to set out on the return journey. We found that the prolongation of our stay had nearly consumed our candles, and after a consultation the remaining bits were delivered over to the leader, and the rest walked In darkness. I was being detailed to close up the rear. The windings of the passage left me for the most part in total obscurity, and I stumbled along, cursing myself that I had not told Nannie that truth concerning Knowlton which we men had long ago known--that it was his inheritance from a long line of port | loving ancestors that had brought him ! down: that after long monotonous months of garrison duty at an ontly- ing post an urgent appeal for aid from an entrapped scouting party had come at the moment when the demon in his blood had at last got the better of him. A subordinate had led out a relief ex- pedition, and Knowlton had come to live in the valley of the Blue Water. It was not a pretty story, yet a thousand times better than the one which had been told her. And, too, I eould add 'to it that for the past year he had . fought against his temptation with an "miflinehing 'courdge thirt in my eyes at least had made him almost worthy of her. Yet I had feared. that no woman could comprehend what that dull bloom of dust on the cut crystal de- . canter, an heirloom in the family, be had once remarked to me, with a queer smile, had cost him. @ven now she would understand. As we turned at Iast Into the straight tunnel I caught sight of two silhouetted figures that walked side by side just In front of me, talking in low tones. | And as we approached the entrance | they delayed their steps. and there came to me the voice of Nannie Mar ble, speaking very gently: "No, no, I do not wish to be told ' what the real reason was. 1 have seen.

Wastrets Pitchforked Into Canada thé Land of "Forget." While a new country offers a splen- did field for those who, ambitious of {eteing on, are handicapped in old nds by the restraints and oppres- sions of ancient environments, it also offers, or seems to offer, a place in which old sorrows may be forgotten; a place in which the social offence, committed elsewhere, may be for- given. The bulk of the people who came out have, no doubt, had regard to the Ten Commandn and are whole- some in their relations, but human na- ture is defective, and distance from the scene of the moral lapse is not infrequently d ec Recently, was noticed a beautiful young girl in company with a strap- ping young fellow who, though man- y-looking enough, confessed at a glanee his social inferiority to his companion The girl was English Bhe had a charming carriage, delicate- ly tinted cheeks, a mass of golden hair and an accent which told the story of breeding Coachman and Master's Daughter. Enquiries from railway officials, and especially from the stewards of the ship in which they had come out elicited that the young man had been the girl's father's coachman in the south of England; that he had dared to make love to her; that this love had, in due course, been returned; and that they had eloped together, intending to go upon the land in the Baskatoon district There is some strictness of exam- ination now, but the wastrel cannot be wholly excluded. For the wastrel appears frequently in the guise of the gentleman indeed--the gentleman only lost to duty, to regular habits, to ambition Tragical Contrasts. The most tragical contrasts of feel ing, of condition, are met with among the immigrants.

He had hu- ror, for he came from the Green Isle, and his stories were side-splitting. He was also an excellent manager of men Periodically he would disappear Not one of the navvies ever hinted the cause of such disappearance. Ha would return in about a fortnight, with hands that trembled, and lips that were red and hot. The Fatal Remittance.

The Indians now reside on their reserves, no long- er ean they chase the buffalo over the plains because the buffalo has disappeared, and the prairies are ing cut up into farms and ecrosBed here and there by railways. There are no more tribal wars, no more war parties seeking glory in the form of murder, but law and order, of which to the Indian the Mounted Police is the embodiment, are ever present, and must be obeyed. The reports of the Indian agents now deal with com- monplace matters such as the Indian'z health, his mode of living, his im- provement in education and morals, the condition of his home, and how life in general goes with him Indians and Farming Running through these ris, and especially through those « ing with the agencies in the West, is the hope that the Indian will take more kindly to farming. «As settlement increases his hunting grounds become curtail ed; there ig no lor the buffalo to supply him with and he must learn tosraise cattle, and grow eat "The real progress of writes one of the agents, his adherence to the soi tivation, and to the rai and other stock, its natu wdjunet,"" Agdin this agent writes I am direct- ing the Indians' attention from tha lines of industries the white man ealls sport--shooting, fishing and hunting and 0 the Indian to the sure and safe of mixed farming." A Peculiar Characteristic. "A peculiar characteristic of tha Indian," to quote again, "is that one is never sure of him. He may be an industrious; promising Indian to-day, and Ww it may be.a fhe past. Something happens, not very much, but he is gone; he haa taken his horses, his wife and family. The rest of his property he leaves to take care of itself." But progress is being made, and it is encouraging that the tendency is in the right direction. Gleanings from the reports show this. One agent writes that his Indians are making some improvement in farming, but that it is difficult to get them to work systematically. Another agent says that they are poor tillers of the soil, but that they take fair care of stock Indians Fi iil Something.

The Colonial Conference is an ex< 3 periment which requires watching if we would be assured against veilad Bas interference with self-government. if the debates of the conference are not to be reported, the subjects of discus- sion and the resolutions at least ought at once to be made known; otherwise, instead of the increase of colonial self-government, which the conferenssa purports to be, we may come to be practically governed on the subjects with which the conference deals by Imperial closeting of colonial Pre- miers. A colonial Premier closeted with the Tmperial Ministers, and at the same time subjected to the influ- once of Londcn society, which is not be disregarded, may agree to a | policy to which his colony might de- mur, but which on his return home ho may impose upon his éauensd, liament. Bomething like this probably cur ardent Impenalists have in view. Our Parliament will not be again in session till long after the Prime Mi ister's return, and we may have all that time to wait for an account of the measures to whi need not b CIO 3 ; vigilance is not suspicion.

It is in fact the substitute for Imperial Confederation, the proj ors of which after thirty years de, vocacy at last despair.
