She nerveusly jerked his ring from her finger with a cold little hand that shook no harder than her heart. "1 hate you," she said stormily. She tossed his ring on a little table that stood between them. "Think it ever, Anne," he said, ig- noring the glistening circlet that he had slipped on her quivering finger one enchanted night. He picked up his hat to go. "I'll be back in a day or twe when we have had time intelli- gently te think the matter over and your anger has coeled." "As If it ever could!" she ejaculated scathinglys "I never want to see you again as long as I Hve." She ran up the steps, her sharp Mt- tle heels ciicking eminously on the pol- ished stairs. Bob Raymond sheek his head sadly and opened and closed the screen door with a hand that was not quite steady. He lingered for a mowent, then, head up, walked briskly dowm the shrub lined driveway. Upstairs, prone on ber dimity cov- ' ered bed, lay a huddled little figure, choking back dry sobs. When at last the tears emme, warm and merciful, they seemed to submerge her intelerably aching heart until it grew numb, insensible to the waves of pain that rolled through her tortured body. Beb had jilted her. She would never be able te hold up her head again. Everybody would talk. Hven when she was a placid, sour old maid, people would remember and tell their children and their children's childrea all about her humiliating experince. 'Suddenly her wandering thoughts | focused into a resolution. She would not tell anybedy abeut it fer twe days. At the end of that time she would have assembled her trotsseau which was about complete, and she would leave a letter announcing that it was impossible for her to marry Bob, that she was going away and that they | would hear from her again soon.

Place Names in Alberta T is generally believed that South- ern Alberta was first visited by white men who came to trade with the Indians. Montana miners contend, however, that members of their own craft were the first Lo break the train into the open Tanga coun~ try. Miners' tools have been dis. covered near the base of Chief Mounm- tain, and the remains of sluice-boxes have been found along numerous mountain streams. These prospectois returning, told of failure in their quest for gold, but related stories of vast prairies where huge herds of buffalo roamed, and where (heir skins could be obtained for almost nothing from the artless Indians. An incident connected with the coming of one of these parties is said to be respomsible for the naming of Pincher or Pincher Creek. In 1836 a party of eleven prospectors set out from Sun river, with all their horses freshly shod, Intending to go right through to Edmonton. By. the time they had reached the Canadian hrun- dary line many of the shoes had worn loose, so one night, while encamped on the bank of an unknown stream, the leader produced a pair of pincers and, to the great relief of the horses, removed every shoe that remained. He packed all the loose horse-shoes into a sack but through an oversight left the pincers lying on the ground. Nine years later a party of Mounted Police going over the same ground found the forgotten pincers, and from that time on the stream has been called Pincher Creek. Many other places in this locality bave been aamed in a similar man- ner. At Whoop-up. a band of Indians attacked a party of traders in = "cache" or hiding-place in the ground. By making a great noise the whites led the redskins to believe that the cache was full of men, and the threatened attack was postponed un- til a more auspicious occasion. Stand- Off is said to have received its name from the fact that the traders stood off a large attacking party, while at Slide-Out they were able to make their escape unharmed. Mr. George Houk of Lethbridge, who helped to built Fort Whoop-up, claims that this popular story of the naming of Stand-Off and Slide-Out is incorrect. His version is that "'Liver- eating" Johnson and the Myers bro- thers "outfitted with whiskey from Sun River, and attempted to enter the South Piegan Reserve in Mon- tana. There they were discovered and called upon to surrender by Ia- dian Agent Armitage and U. S. Mar- shal Hard. They refused and drew their guns whereupon Armitage call- ed out to his companion, "All right, marshal, bring up those soldiers." The traders knew that there were no soldiers within a hundred miles, and decided to stand fast. When they finally reached their ultimate destination on the Bally River, they agreed to oall their trading-post Stand-Off in memary of their recent Mr. Houk says that the' other post, about twelve miles up the river, was named by the Myers bro- thers who "slid out" one night with their proportion of the stores. These American traders made regu- lar raids upon the herds of buffalo then roaming the ranges, but most of the pelts were obtained from the In- dians who were only too eager to exchange a buffalo-hide for an an- cient musket or a jug of fire-water, Many names in Southern Alberta are of Indian origin though they appear in English guise. The Old Man River, for instance, is a stream whose chan- nel was dug by the Creator or "Old Man" who lingered a long time in the mountains before venturing dowa into the prairie country. Medicine Hat is another case in point. The Indian distinguishes as "good medicine" or "bad medicine" anything that he believes will change his fortune for better or for worse, An Indian hunts all day without suc- cess, but toward nightfall he finds an empty rifle shell, and a moment later he gets a shot at his game. This good luck, he believes, comes to him as the result of finding that empty cartridge. It is "good medicine" and Je will probably wear it as a charm about his reck until his dying day. Once a Blackfoot chief, whose tribe lived in the region now known as Seven Persons Creek, had such a charm in the form of a hat made of feathers. When he wore this head- plece in battle he was invincible. But alas, a dark day camie when he lost his "medicine hat." In & fierce bat- tle with the Crees, he had just put the enemy to fight with gust of wind caught his magic acpi and tossed it into the swift encounter. wing Sas- katchewan. The effect was instantan- eous. The!poor chief losing confi- dence in himself, halted, and as the enemy rallied for a last attack, he fled with his tribe toward the Cypress Hills, where he died of grief a short time afterwards. Many places in Southern Alberta | are named after the early pioneers. | Cardston takes its name from Charles Ora Card, first president of the Mor- mon Church in Canada. Magrath is named after Mr. C.

Te onto, in which he was so long a resident, has sustained a loss, com- parew with which the demise of many » widely known man has been triffing ia comparison. He was a man of sterling purpose, no.est in all his dealings, of clear in sight and th. highest integrity, with » heart both g =erous and large, wita .,keei appreciation of humor, amd kaowing the strong as well as the weak points of human nature, mor particularly as exhibited in his fellow | countrymee. Mr, Basso was net only for many sears the Italian official police court .aterpreter for Turonto, but his ser vices as translator, during his later years, were in constant demand in the Courts of Assls> and before oth. tribunals all over Ontario. On on occasion he went as far as Winnipeg to assist in an ..portamt criminal rial. In the early part of this centur began the vast an irresistible tide o. emigratior fro. Europe and inc Canada poured ti many inhabitants of the regions ar uad the Arno and the Tiber rivers; the restless denisens from under the 'shadow of the Ap penines Mountains and beside the waters of the Adriatic Sea. The Italian mature is proverbially hast and emotional, and often during the past twenty years juries throughout Canada have been compelled fre- quently to adjudicate upon the guilt or innoceace of exiles from the land of Cicero and Valectinian, whose sud- | den outbursts of temper have often brought the impetuous Italian into the criminal dock accused chiefly of crimes which were the result of sudden impulse. In these trials the late Mr. Basse frequently figured as an interpreter, and very often, when the offender was a straager in the land or without fuads, the hearted interpreter became a counsel lor, protector and friemd. In no case did Mr. Basso's quali- ties shine clearer tham in the course of the famous Capelli trial at Parry Sound about thirteen years ago. In- deed it was almost wholly due to the indomitable persistence of the inter preter that Capelli owed his life. The story is quite without parallel and would furaish abundant foumdatiem for a thrilling novel, Here are the merest outlines of the i incident. On Christmas night of 1906 Francisco Capelli and a fellow- Italian, both under the inflnemce of liquor, went to a party at the house of a settler named William Dow. While the merry-makers were danec- ing; suddenly the solitary lamp in the room was thrown to the ground and extinguished. In the darkmess there were cries and revolver shots. When light was restored, Dow lay dying on the floor, while Capelli and his friend were flourishing smoking revolvers. The two men were irled for murder, As the trial was about te begin, Ca- pellt's comrade, who alone of the two had engaged counsel, nepresented that his frend had no lawyer, and it was arranged that the ome lawyer should defend both prisoners. The" defences of the twe men were com- | ficting, but this did not appear until too late to make any alteration in the arrangement. As a result Capelli | was sentenced to' the gallows, 'while | his companion escaped with his life. Then commenced a fight on behalf of the doomed mam, which is without parallel in Canadian judicial history, | Behind the struggle which continued ! all through the summer of 1907 stood the unfaltering form of Michele Twice the scaffold was erected within the walls of Parry Sound jail to hang the unfertunate Italian. Twice the ghastly ,iastrument of | doom was removed. At Mr. Basso's instance resort was had to the appel- late tribunals, At this instance the trial judge became the prisomer's in- tercessor. At his instance Sir Wil- frid Laurier at the eleventh hour called a Cabinet council and com- muted the death pemalty. After a toilsome battle lasting for mearly a year, against what seemed to be in- superable obstacles, Mr. Basso's un- wearying peftinacity was rewarded, and the prisoner was saved from un- just death upon the gallows. Mr. Basso's integrity was undoubt- ed. A lawyer in a case in which he was translating evidence, asked for another interpreter as a check upon Mr. Basso. The false and cruel pria- ciple followed in those days was that foreigners were proverbially prevari- cators. "There is no need for a check," instantly ' interposed the Judge. "Mr. Basso is believed before any interpreter who acts in that ea~ pacity in any court of our land." He was well informed both with regard to Canadian history and the past vicissitudes of his own uafor- tunate country. He knew Garibaldi and admired him; he had met King Victor Immanuel, every form of camt, sham, imposition and deception. Decayed Shell Fish.
