But no such thing occurred.and when my nerves were quieted and my muscles relaxed i was conscious of a lassitude so ex- treme that it was painful. I looked longingly toward the bed upon whieh 1 had vowed I would not sleep and slowly made my way toward it. Tired nature would have its own way. Even physical fear is no match for physical exhaustion, Loosening my stays, but remaining fully dress- ed, I lay down and drew some of the covering over me. After all one could meet death but once, I thought, and 4f it was my lot to die I might as well meet it in one posture as in another. 1 remember thinking vag- uely that the indications were that no one intended to kill me, for other- wise 1 would have been put out of the way long ago instead of being permitetd to burden my captors as 1 had, There was the last idea that worked its way laboriously through my mind, for my drowsiness return- ed and I again slept, ol But this time my sleép'was not un- broken, I dreamed that the myster- fous wall appeared and disappeared, disclosing the face and figure of my husband. He stood beside the bed, 1 thought, loking mournfully down at me and occasionally shaking his head. * "Poor Roxane!" I heard him mur- | mur st length.

It seemed to me that I framed the words, but although I uttered them he could not hear them, I thought that my eyes were open and that 1 was looking. straight- up at him all the while. Yet he thought I was dead.

Richardson, of Kings- ton. He said that recently he had been in touch with both the Cana: dian and American sources of coal supply, and had found that the con- dition of the central portion of Can- ada with regard to--fuel was pitful. Canada had never been in such a situation, and was today facing the prospect of an actual fuel f ine.

Increased running hours in factories due to the war had ly been responsible for this condition of affairs, and with the American railways tolling under the burden of transportation thrown upon them by the great productign of the factories, the coal supply was insufficient to meet requirements. Canadian rail ways, said the Senator, had been es- pecially hard hit, and he claimed the Government should not merely stand by and watch their struggles. He suggested the railways be allowed to increase their rates 7% per cent. un- til conditions bettered. Senators Casgrain, Sproule and McSweeney drew attention to the in- creased earnings of the Canadian Pacific and Canadian Northern.
