"Wa'n't it fine?" he whispered. "Talk •bout four miracles! Godfreys mighty! Say, Mr. Ellery, don't you ever tell a soul how it really was, will yon?" "No, of course not." "No, I know you twop't. Von won't ttell on me and I won't tell on you. •That's a trade, hey?" The minister stopped in tbe middle of his step. ' "What?" he said, turning. Mr. Pepper merely smiled, winked, And shut the door. John Ellery reflect­ ed much during his homeward walk. The summer in Trumet drowsed on, u Trumet summers did in those days, when there were no boarders from the City, no automobiles or telephones or "antique" collectors. The Sunday din­ ners with the Daniels family were al­ most regular weekly functions now. Me dodged them when he could, but be could not do so often without tell­ ing an absolute lie, and this he would not do. And, regularly, when the sol­ emn meal was eaten. Captain Elkanah •went upstairs for his nap and the Rev­ erend John was left alone with Anna­ bel. Miss Daniels did her best to be entertaining, was. in fact, embarrass­ ingly confidential and cordial. It was hard work to get away, and yet, some­ how or other, at the stroke of four, the minister always said good-by and took his departure. "What is your hurry, Mr. Ellery?" begged Annabel on one occasion when the reading of Moore's poems had been Interrupted in the middle by the guest's sudden rising and reaching for kis hat "I don't see why you always go so early. It's so every time you're here. Do yon call at any other house on 8unday afternoons V "No," was the prompt reply. "Ob, BO." "Mrs. Rogers said she saw you go­ ing across the fields after you left here last Sunday. Did you go for a uralk?" "Br--er--yes, I did." "I wish you had mentioned it. I love jto walk, and there are bo few people •that I find congenial company. Are Jyou going for a walk now?" ' "Why, no--er--not exactly." "I'm sorry. Good-by. Will you come Main next Sunday? Of course you Win, You know how dreadfully disap- JpOinted I--we--shall be if you don't." • "Thank you, Miss Daniels. I enjoyed HSm dinner very much. Good after­ noon." | He hurried down tbe path. Annabel watched him go. Then she did an odd jibing. She passed through the stt- jting room, entered the front hall, went jup the stairs, tiptoed by the door of |her father's room, and then up anoth- jer flight to the attic. From here a jsteep set of steps led to the cupola on the roof. In that cupola was a (spyglass. Annabel opened a window a few 'inches, took the spyglass from its (rack, adjusted it, laid it on the sill jof the open window and knelt, the {glass at her eye. The floor of the •cupola was very dusty and she was •wearing her newest and best gown, I but she did not seem to mind. - | Through tbe glass she saw th<Hfe^g slope of Cannon Hill, with the beacon at the top and Captain Mayo's house near It. The main road was deserted save for one figure, that of her late caller. He was mounting the hill in long strides. She watched him gain tile crest and pass over it out of sight. Then she shifted the glass so that it pointed toward the spot beyond the curve of the hill, where the top of a thick pro up of silver-leafs hid the parsonage. Above the tree tops glistened the *"hite steeple of the Regular church. If the minister went straight home she could see him. But under those silver- loafs was the beginning of the short mt across the fields where Didama l"d seen Mr. Ellery walking on tbe: (previous Sunday. i Slowly she moved the big end of the Irpyglass back along the arc it had Uravfcleu. She found a speck and matched it. It was a man, striding •cross the meadow land, a half mile Ibeyond the parsonage, and hurrying In the direction of the beach. She Haw him climb a high dune, Jump a fenoe, gross another field and finally •vanish In tbe grove of pines on the ledge of the bluff by the . shore. ' The man was John Ellery. the min­ ister. Evidently, he had not gone thome, nor had he taken tbe short icit. Instead he had walked down­ town a long way and then turned in to 'Cross tbe fields and work his way W«k. #Annabel put down the glass and, heedless of her father's call, sat think­ ing. Tbe minister had deliberately de­ ceived ber. More than that, be had gone to considerable trouble to avoid observation. Why had he done it? Had he done the same thing on other Sunday afternoons? Was there any real reason why he Insisted on leav­ ing the bouse regularly at four o'clock? CHAPTER IX. In Which Kezlsh's Troubles Multiply. Kesiah was getting worried about her parson. Not concerning his popu­ larity with his congregation. She had long since ceased to worry about that. But what worried Mrs. Coffin was John Ellery's personal appearanoe and behavior He had grown perceptibly thinner during the past month, his manner was distrait, and, worst of all in the housekeeper's eyes, his appetite had fallen off. She tried all sorts of tempting dishes, but tbe result was discouraging. His absent-mindedness was most acute on Sunday evenings, before pray­ er meeting, and after he had returned from the afternoon at Captain El- kanah'B. "Say, Mr. Ellery," she said, on one of these Sunday evenings, "do you know, it seems to me that Elkanah's meals must go to your head. ain't in love, are you?" The young man started, colored, and was plainly embarrassed. "In love?" he repeated. "In love, Mrs. Coffin?" "Yes, in love. Annabel hasn't land­ ed a male at last, has she? She's a line over the side for a long time." The hearty laugh with which this was received settled tbe question of Annabel's success. Kezlah was re­ lieved. "Well, I'm glad of that," she said. "I ain't got any grudge against Anna­ bel, but neither have I got any against you. I'll say this, though, for a body that ain't in love you certainly stay with the Danielses a long time. You went there right after meetln' this noon and now it's seven o'clock and you've just got home. And 'twas the same last Sunday and the one before. Been there all the time, have you?" "No," he said slowly. "Not alf the time. I--I--er--went for a short walk." Before sffe could Inquire concerning that walk he had entered tbe study and closed tbe deor after him. - Sunday was a cloudy, warm day, "muggy," so Captain Zeb described it After the morning service Mr. Ellery, as usual, went home with Captain Daniels and Annabel. Keziah returned to the parsonage, ate a lonely dinner, and went upstairs to her own room. Her trunk was in one corner of this room and she unlocked it, taking from a compartment of the tray a rosewood writing case, inlaid with mother-ot- pearl, a present from her father, who had brought it home from sea wben she was a girl. From the case she took a packet of letters and a daguerreotype. The lat­ ter was the portrait of a young man, in high-collared coat, stock and fancy waistcoat. Mrs. Coffin looked at the daguerreotype, sighed, shuddered, and laid it aside. Then she opened the packet of letters. Selecting one from the top of the pile, she read it slowly. And, as she read, sbe sighed again. She did not hear the back door of the parsonage open, and close softly. Nor did she hear the cautious foot­ steps in the rooms below. What aroused her from reading was her dwn name, spoken at tbe foot of the stairs. "Keziah! Kezlah, are you there?" Sbe started, sprang up, and ran out into the hall, tbe letter still in her hand. "Who Is it?" she asked sharply. "Mr. Ellery, is that you?" "No," was the answer. "It's me-- And She Cried Teaf« of Utter Loneli­ ness and Despair. Nat Are you busy, Kezlah? I want to see you for a minute." The housekeeper hurriedly thrust the letter into her waist 'I'll be right down, Nat," she an­ swered. "I'm comin'." He was in the sitting room when she entered. He was wearing his Sun­ day suit of blue and bis soft hat was on the center table. She field out her hand and be shook it heartily. Before he could speak she caught a glimpse of his face. "What is it?" he asked. "What is the matter?"-- "Well, Keziah., It's trouble enough. Dad and l bad a fallin' out. We had what was next door to a real quarrel after dinner to-day. It would have been a real one if I hadn't walked off and left hhn. Kerlah, he's dead set on my majfryin* Grace.

R e t i a h w a s s i l e n t f a r a Them she said slowly: "And Grace herself? How does she feel about it? Has be spoken to her?" "I don't know. I guess likely be has. Perhaps that's why she's been so sort of mournful lately. But never mind whetnar he has or not; I won't do it and .1 told him so. lie got red hot In a Jiffy. I was ungrateful and stubborn and all sorts of things. And I, bein' a Hammond, with some of the Hammond balniness In me, I set my foot down as hard as bis. And we had It until--until--well, until I saw hi® stagger and tremble so that I actually got scared and feared he was goin' to Jteel over where he stood. You wnow <vhy I can't marry her, nor anyone else in this round world but you." "Nat, I cant marry you.* "I know, I know. You're always shyln' that. But you don't mean It. You can't mean it. Why, you and me have been picked out for each other by the Almighty, Keziah. I swear I believe just that. We went together when we were boy and girl, to parties snd such. We was promised when I first went to sea. If it hadn't been for that fool row we had--and 'twas all my fault "and I know it-r-you never would have let that da--that miser able Anse Coffin come near you. I'm goin' to have you. Coffin is dead these ten years. When I heard he was drowned there in Singapore, all I could say was, 'Serve him right!' And I say it now. I come home then more determined to get you. Say yes, and let's be happy. Do!" "I'd like to, Nat. t only wish I could. But 'twouldn't be any use. I can't do it." He snatched his hat from the table and strode toward the door. Turning, he looked at her. "All right," he said chokingly. "All right. Good-by." His steps sounded on the oilcloth of the kitchen. Then tbe back door slammed. He was gone. Keziah started,, as if the slam of tbe door had been an electric shock. And she cried, tears of utter loqellness and despair. The clouds thickened as the after­ noon passed. There came a knock at the dining-room door. Kezlah sprang from her chair, smoothed her hair, hastily wiped her eyes and went to-admit the visitor, whoever he or she may be. She was glad of the shadows, they prevented her face from being seen tao plainly. "Good afternoon," she said, opening the door. "Oh! it's you, is it?" "Yes," admitted Abishai Pepper, standing on the stone step, and shift­ ing uneasily from one foot to the other. "Yes, Keziah, it's--it's me, thank you. I only wanted to see Mr, Ellery." "He's out. Good day." "I wanted to ask his advice about somethin'. It's a secret. Only him and me know about it. Good-by. I'll find Mr. Ellery." "I wouldn't go to the Danielses', if I was you. Elkanah might not like to have you cbasin' after his visitors^ "Oh, the minister ain't at the Dan­ ielses', not as late's this, he ain't. I h»ow where he is. I know where he goes Sunday afternoons--and why he goes, too. Mr. Ellery and me's good friends. We understand each other." "Look here, Kyan Pepper! What are you talkln' about?" "I just said I knew where Mr. Ell­ ery goes every Sunday afternoon. Hef don't know anybody knows, but I do. That's all there is to it. I shan't tell. So " "Tell? Do you mean there's some- thin' Mr. Ellery wouldn't want told? Don't yqu dare-- I will see Laviny!" "No, no, no, no. 'Tain't nothin' much. I Just know where he goes after he leaves Elkanah's and who he goes to meet. I-- Lordy! I hadn't ought to said that! I-- Keziah Coffin, don't you ever tell I told you. I've said more'n I meant to. If it comes out there'd be the biggest row in the church there ever was. And I'd be re­ sponsible! I would! I'd have to go on the witness stand and then Laviny would find out how I-- Oh, oh, oh! what shall I do?" "What is it?" she persisted. "What would bring on the row in the church? Who does Mr. Ellery meet? Out with It! What do you mean?" "I mean that the minister meets that Van Horne girl every Sunday aft­ ernoon after be leaves Elkanah's. There, now! It's out, and I don't give a darn if they hang me for It." Keziah turned white. She seized Mr. Pepper by the lapel of his Sunday coat and shook him. "Grace Van Home!" she cried. "Mr. Ellery meets Grace Van Horne on Sunday afternoons? Where?" "Down In them pines back of Pet- r's pastur' on the aidge of the ank over the beach. He's met her here every Sunday for the last six reeks--longer, for what I know. -I've /atched'm. I ain't lyin'! It's so. Ill et you anything they're there now, /alkin' up and down and talkln'. What •/ould I want to lie for? You come with me this minute and 111 show '«m to you." " 'Bisb Pepper," she said slowly and fiercely, shaking her finger in his face, "you go straight home and stay there. Don't you breathe a word to a livln' soul of what you say you've seen. Don't even think of It, or--or dream it. If you do I'll --IH march straight to Laviny and tell her that you asked me to marry you. I will, as sure as you're shakin' in front of me this min­ ute. Now you swear to me to keep still. Swear!" "How -- how'll i swear?" begged Kyan. "What do you say when you swear? I'll say it, Kezlah! lH aay anything! , III " "All right. Then mind you remem­ ber. Now clear out *}uick. I want to think. T must think. Go! Get out of my sight!" Kyan went, glad to escape, but frightened to the soul of him. Keslah watched him until he turned from the main j-oad into the lighthouse lane. Then, certain that be really was going straight home, she re-entered the par­ sonage .and sat down on tbe nearest chair. For ten minutes she sat there, striving to grasp the situation. Then she arose and, putting on her bonnet and shawl, locked the dining room door and went out through the kitchen. She was going to the pine grove by the shore, going to find out for Her­ self if Kyan's astonishing story was true. The pines were a deep green blotch against the cloudy sky and the gloomy waters of the bay. She skirted tbe it. Qotlying clumps of barberry and beta* [plum bushes and entered the grove. Then she heard low voices. As she crouched at the etjge of the grove, two figures passed slowly across the clear­ ing, along the bush bordered path and into the shrubbery beyond. John Bll> ery was walking witti Grace Van Horne. He wa* holding her hand in bis and they wife talking very ear­ nestly. Keziah dil not fdllow. What would have been the use? This was not the time to speak. She knew now and she knew, also, that the responsibility waa hers. Sbe must go home at once, go home to be alone and to think.. She tiptoed back through tbe grove and across the fields. Yet if she had waited, sbe might have seen something else which would have been, at least, interesting. Sho had scarcely reached the outer edge of the grove when another figure pas»» ed stealthily along that narrow f)ath by the bluff edge.

And not pleasant to FOUGHT WITH RAILROAD TRAIN Herd of Infuriated Bulls Held Their Own in Combat With Master­ piece of Man. At a pbint on tbe railway line be­ tween Mirabel and Canaveral, on the Spanish side of the boundary line be* tween Spain and Portugal, there once occurred an odd sort of bullfight. A train had Just come out on ^ sweeping curve from the bills and down upon a little plain when tbe en­ gineer saw directly before bim a herd of bulls on the tracks. The engineer blew bis whistle vigorously and all the bulls fled, with the exception of one great fellow, who made straight for the train with boras lowered and roaring defiance. It was too late to prevent a collision and the bull was killed, but his car- cass, lying under the wheels of the locomotive, prevented th^ train pro* ceeding. Passengers and crew united to clear tbe track. In the meantime the great herd of bulls, scenting the blood of their dead leader, came flock­ ing back, pawing and threatening. The nearer they came the more infuriated they grew, and finally they charged like a whirlwind on the little band of workers. Then all the men abandoned their task and took refuge in the cars. The bulls followed them to the very steps, bellowing and pawing. Soldiers aboard tbe train tried to stampede the ani­ mals with stones. The bulls recoiled, charged again, recoiled once more; and for two hours the battle raged, victory now seeming to be with one side and now with the other. At last as night came on, the bulls withdrew and betook themselves to some dis­ tant shelter. Then the employes and passengers were able to set to work again. The track was cleared and the train proceeded 6n its way. Homesickness 8polls Photographs. Aunt Maria thought, and so did ber relatives in the big city, that tbe photographer was unpardonably dis­ courteous. For three successive days he refused to take Aunt Maria's photo­ graph. On the fourth day he told why. "In justice to ber," be said, "I do not want to take her pictures now. She is too homesick. Most out-of- town people want to be photographed while in the city. If they are longing for home I put them off with one ex­ cuse or another until tbe homesick­ ness wears off. "If you want your aunt's pictures to turn out well, just hunt up some one from her home town who happens to be visiting here at present and bring him here so sbe will meet him unex­ pectedly. Tbe meeting will put sparkle and animation into her face, and nei­ ther she nor I will be disappointed with the photographs." Guided by Wireless. Tbe latest and most wonderful use to which wireless apparatus has been put is set forth in a paragraph from Berlin, Germany. According to the newspaper report experiments have been going on for some time with a rudderless, crewless motor boat on Lake Wansee which have proved re* markably successful. The Inventor of this crewless boat is a school teacher named Christian Wlrth. In trying out bis invention the boat was towed out two miles in tbe lake and by means of bis wireless apparatus all tbe boat's movements were dl> rected. The boat threaded Its way unerringly through numerous craft without the slightest accident Good Excuse. It was on tbe sleeping-car "Say, mister," said tbe man in tbe upper berth to the occupant of the lower, "quit that music, will you? What do you think this is, a concert- hall? The rest of us want to sleep." "Why, tbe car is so stuffy," said the warbler. "I was only bumming a little air--" It was then that he was hit with a Pullmar. pillow, remaining unconscious for seven hours.--Harpex's Weekly. Up-to-batev 8ty!ee Call for Perfect Neatness and the Highest Form of Well-Groomed Appearance- Hair Coiled Close. All tbe new coiffures are charming from at least one point of view. They are dressed with a view to giving j&elr wearers a well-groomed appear­ ance. Little flufflness and Absolutely no frowslness is hinted at in the close, compact and graceful models display­ ed by the designers of coiffures. In the majority of them the hair iB coiled and pinned close to the head. Loose waves and ringlets appear, but they shir® with brushing. Any hint of untidiness is not tolerated. All' Is wrought out with very evident care. In fact, to be fachionable these days one must be willing to care for every detail of the toilet. The pretty coiffure pictured here shows three coils made of loosely braided hair, pinned across the back of the head and extending to the nape of the neck. A little fringe about the face is curled into ringlets. These are flattened at the sides and pinned with invisible wire pins. There are a few loose curls over tbe forehead. The hair is parted at the side and is quite plain on the crown of the head. When a middle part Is used the hair la waved more. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. EVERY DESCRIPTION OF BELT From 8evere Plainness to the Utmost Elaboration This Ornamentation Is Noticed Now. Belts are back. By belts one means every sort of belt, sash, or girdle. Pos­ sibly this universal wearing of some kind of sash or belt may be reminis­ cent of tbe Directoire period, when tbe dandy of tbat epoch made a very no­ ticeable point of his sash, usually of the military type, but always extreme­ ly ornamental Many of the sashes of satin and vel­ vet are either embroidered at the end in flat sattn stitch in two tones, of silk or are edged with deep silk of bullion fringe. Fringe, in fact, plays a very conspicuous part in the ornamentation of the belt, and seems for the present to have taken the place of the once favorite tasBel. To wear with the cutaway coats that are now so modish comes the waist­ coat belt, which is really part of the coat itself. Often enough this high belt, which is about five inches In depth, is of brocaded satin of con­ trasting tones to tbe skirt. To finish some of the newest gowns in cloth appears the folded velvet belt, finishing at the left side with one long pointed end. Three small buckles of plaited taffeta, fixed respectively at the end of the belt .and half-way down the skirt are distinguishing features of this belt and give the little touch of novelty tbat is always welcome. Ma'hy of the long ends that fall from tbe waist to the hem of the skirt are used for fixing the new draperies in place and are invariably caught down either by a fancy buckle or a knot of silk. The new draperies seem to demand the ends of jthe sash at the front in i VANITY BOXES ARE HIDDEN Tiny Toilet Accessories That May Be Tucked Away in a Woman's Bracelet. ,7110 vanity box has become so much a part of a woman's outfit that the manufacturers are discovering many odd ways for her to carry It. To take care of one's powder puff and lip rouge from one's handbag has become commonplace! Now a wom­ an can tuck these in her bracelet. One of the new kind has flexible links of gold wire with the vanity box on top in tbe shape of an oval medallion with a handsome monogram. Or she can wear it around ber neck as a BUtolr. Fascinating vanity pend- onts are shown in all styles and prices, from gay ones of French Jewelry to dit amond-studded boxes no bigger than a child's locket Among the most pop­ ular of the vanity eases for the neck are those of colored Russian enamel on a linked chain to match. Again one may carry a vanity box In the end of a parasol, or as the nead of a big hat pin, disguised as a order to use them for the purpose just mentioned. It appears as though no gown now* adays is complete without some form of sash. A square of embroidery often finishes the sash end. < CHANGES IN THE COIFFURE By No Means Advisable to Keep the' Same Arrangement for All ©ce^sfons. , Do not cling to the same way of dressing your hair regardless Of the changes wrought by time. The way to fool your public is to change the coiffure to me?t changed conditions- Visit a hairdresser-who understands lines and pay her to teach you a be­ coming method. The Uair you have left will thrive better if you wear it one way in the morniug and rest the strain by another coLVure for night Attractiveness is not the only thing to be consulted--the coffure must be suited to your age. A too youthful way of wearing the hair is a pitiful travesty on youth and makes one look7 far older. Hair that has thinned is better disguised by a lopse, simple arrangement of one's own hair than by striving to heavily bolster It Hair that is losing its lustre or graying is not Improved by dyes, which quickly ruin the quality and reduce the quan­ tity of what hair one has. Simplicity is shown in the latest way of wearing the hair. If your locks grow thick­ ly and you want to be fashionable, do away with all knots, twists and loops, and make your head as smooth and round as nature made it. To achieve this effect brush the hair smoothly back and turn under the ends so the hair is an even thick­ ness everywhere. Sometimes a front or side parting is made and the hair may be pushed into an oblique sort of ridge from crown of head to nape of neck. The only break In this smooth­ ness is three short curls pinned to hang on the neck. For the woman of thin locks to at­ tempt such simplicity would be folly, and even thick hair will not look its best unless it be made soft, fluffy and lustrous with much brushing. If the hair lies too flat to be becoming it may have to be brushed back over a low roll of tulle to match. SIMPLE FLOWER-POT COVER Cardboard 8hape to Fit Around the Receptacle le Easily Made and Embroidered. During the winter months, when fresh flowers are expensive and diffi­ cult to obtain, ferns generally take their place, so that at this period, sug­ gestions for easily made flower pot covers should be more 'than ever wel­ come. With most covers, a cardboard shape to fit round the pot has to be made first, and this is no difficult mat­ ter. A piece of fairly thick card­ board should be cut out in tbe shape showb in diagram A, and bent round until the edges overlap for about a quarter of an inch, they can then be secured together with three or four small paper fasteners In the manner illustrated by diagram B. In order to obtain the exact slse of the cardboard. It is a good plan to make a rough pattern with brown pa­ per and fit it round the pot, it can then be laid upon the board, and the size and shape marked out by running a piece of pencil round the edge oT the paper. With the cover from which our sketch was drawn, the cardboard was smoothly covered with dull green silk and bound at the upper and lower edges with silver braid, and further ornamented with two rows of very narrow brgld to match, carried into loops pointing upwards and down­ wards in the way indicated in the il­ lustration. charm for her chatelaine, or even set in one of the big buttons that orna­ ment her corsage draperies. One girl, who wore a watch in the back of one riding glove, had set In the other a small vanity case ready for instant use when she dismounted. Another girl had a similar case in the end of her crop. The new opera bags Include a van­ ity box, and those that do not may be supplied with them by small pock­ ets sewed to the Interior for them. Flowers Upon Bodices. A charming fashion recently re­ vived at the Paris Opera consists In pinning a couple of flowers upon the bodices of the simple draped gowns in white or black charmeuse. But these floral trimmings do not adapt them­ selves to the magnificent models in embroidered velvets, brocaded satins and gauzes recently launched upon the stage, nor do they figure on bead­ ed creations. In the latter case tbe veiled effects in spangle tulle and lace, the draperies and the Unlngs of dam* ask and charmeuBe give the required ornamentation to these beautiful tot- lets. PREPARING FOR THE WORK Of 1913 CITY BUILDING, RAILWAY BUILD* ING AND FARM OPERATIONS IN WESTERN CANADA, BIGGE8T EVER.' The machinery, the money and the men for carrying on tbe big works In Western Canada In 1913 are already provided for. The splendid harvest which was successfully garnered, and by tbis time mostly marketed, re­ sponded to the big hopes that were had for it early in the season, and in­ spired capitalists and railroads to further Investment and building. From lake ports to mountain base there will be carried on the biggest operations in city building and rail­ way construction tbat has ever taken place In that country. The Canadian Pacific railway has everything in waiting to continue their great work of double tracking the system and by the time the Panania Canal is open to traffic there will be7 a double line of steel from Lake Superior to the Pa­ cific coast The cost will exceed thirty million dollars. The Grand Trunk Pacific plan of building a first- class trunk line and then feeders at various points will be carried forward with all the force that great Company can put into the work. The Canadian Northern is prepared to put into mo­ tion all the energy tbat young giant of finance and railroad building can put into various enterprises of provid­ ing and creating transportation facili­ ties. Building operations in the several cities, that have already marked themselves a place In the list of suc­ cessful and growing cities, will be carried on more largely than ever. Schools, public buildings, parliament buildings, colleges, business blocks, apartments, private residences, banks, street and other municipal improve­ ments have their appropriation ready, and the record of 1913 will be some­ thing wonderful. Other places which are townB today will make the rapid strides that are expected and will be­ come cities. There will be other Ed­ montons, Calgarys, Reginas and\ Sas­ katoons, other places that may In their activity help to convince the outer world of the solidity and perma­ nency of the Canadian West. The country is large and wide and broad and the ends of Its great width and length are but the limits of its agri­ cultural area. Its people are progres­ sive, they are strong, there is no enervation there. The country teems with this life, this ambition, this fondness to create and to use the forces that await the settler. If they come from the South, and hundreds of thousands of them have, they are now the dominant men of the North, and they have imbibed of the spirit of the North. Therefore it is fair to say that no portion of the continent will show such wonderful results as Western Canada, and the- year 1913 will be but the beginning of a won­ derful and great future.
