A battle upon either a large or small scale is no exception to this rule. Men laugh in the crisis of a life and death struggle, and in the last South African war a volunteer, told off as one of the escort of a big gun. remembers only of Spion KOp that it was fought on a “jolly” day, that the weather and the smooth grass slopes suggested pink parasols and picnic hampers; that there were funny little balloon-like puffs rising at in- tervals from the ridge Opposite to that on which he lay; that the sun was warm and comforting, and that some confounded fellow woke him up with the toe of a service boot when the battle was over and it was time to take the gun home. After Al’s departure he worked feverishly at the making of his bur- row, expecting every moment to hear the hum of bullets through the scrub over head, but no bullets came, and at last, even with his jack knife, he had managed to scrape out a hollow ample enough to contain his body. Then he lay in it and watched, un- til the minutes grew into an hour, and the dawn into young day without any sign of life showing itself upon the landscape, except a coyote, shadows and utterly noiseless, who came. stealing down from the hills, until he was nearly midway between the pines and the cherry patch. There he checked sharply, his 1105"- went up and his brush dropped, and wheeling in his tracks, he went back at a lope to the nearest rising grnni. Something .in the country displ ased him. for after a prolonged survey he loped back the way he had come. The coyote’s behavior was sugges- tive of suspicion, but a little bread- winged haWk which poised in the .:iear air or swung noiselcssly over- head with a keen eye for mice or beetles, contradicted the habitualEy suspicious vagabond. Rolt found it impossible to remain ‘stru ng up to concert pitch for e'» er in It was with Holt as it was with that yeoman. away there to t ate it, will you? The old man nodded, and Rolt ad. justing his sights to the five hundred yards range, cuddled down on his rifle. “High or low?” he asked. “I guese it‘s most solid near the bot- tom,” chuckled Al. Then Rolt drew a long breath, for a moment there was absolute silence, and then a little puff of dust. fifty yards beyond the sage brush, record- ed the fact that the foresight had been taken too full. A few sprigs of the yellow weed fell, but otherwise there was no sign from the bush. “Sits stiller nor a fool hen," com- mented Al. “Try her lower still, Boss.” P1 H1 b-l Rolt took the same head again, but this time he took it upon the very base of his target. At his second shot the bush which he had watched for an hour became alive. A horrid scream followed the’impact of his bullet and in place of the little fountain of gold- en dust, a man’s body sprang high into the air and then pitched headlong on the near side of the bush writhing and tying itself into knots amongst the branches of the withered sage brush.

The dawn had made all things plain, had emphasized every outline: the peace of it called attention to every least sound which might break the holy stillness of the waking day, and yet Rolt, listening in his burrow, could not hear so much as the breaking of a twig, or see a sign of life in the direction from which he had fled. Rolt raised his rifle. and look;d questioningly at old A1, whose head was now along-side his own. But the prairie welcomed the dam, which flooded its frost-touched sage brush, so that it rolled in sheets of sparkling silver, from the pines to the cherry patch and away beyond as far as the eye could See towards the still shadowy bed of the Fraser. )D Even the pine belt itself was not quite proof against the dawn. The tops of it were touched with a palt glory and, though the gloom of the black bouglis swallowed Up the light that struck them, a bole here and there was caught by it and brighzemfi with a wash of tenderest golden grey. .1 3 3 “Must be quite a holler,the§; n’most which he. stood awhile Itecvonnoit- It found it impossible to remain .g up to concert pitch for ever in an atmosphere of pcateful ty. just as the half alarmed buck when pitted against the ever- :g graticnce of his hunter. and actually dozing when a voice be- him asked: - are. you got your Holland along 0 to (lav, Boss?” ta rted. but though only l‘alf lad sense enough to lie still. 11.. said. without turning. ’3 good for long shoot ng ain’t :V 1L :9 3::‘(0 â€" CS ~v sighted for five hundred 9’9 Mr. J. Ferguson of Owen Sound, called on the McGillivray family Tuesday of last Week, accompanâ€" ied back with Miss Ruth McGilli- vray who is attending college there. Miss Jean Allen, of Durham, is visiting her uncle Mr. Robert Allen, 4th concession. Miss Emma Arnett visited her brother, W. C.

He was beginning to lose his sense of proportion and imagination magnified the most absurd trifles. Rolt 51m erely hoped that. they would not 01 that if they did 01d Al’s s eyes would keep watch for them. In his own eyes he had lost all conti- dence. For a long time silence fell again between the pines and the cherry trees. There was no sound, but for the crack of an occasional twig as one of the defenders moved uneasily in his narrow shelter; no movement ex- cept from that twisted figure by the sage brush. It was a long time before that be- came quite still, and Rolt was thank- ful when that time came. “Jest so,” muttered Al, who had again crawled to Rolt’s side, “and the next will be nearer still. They are getting our range now. Had ought to have done that the first go off. I guess there’ll be no room here for two now. Lie low, boys, it’s goin’ to storm again,” and he crawled back to his own position just as it began again to hail bullets. For a good quarter of an hour the Indians in the timber kept up a steady stream of independent firing, as if Miss Maud McGilrlivray who has been visiting Owen Sound friends returned home on Tuesday of last week. Mrs. C. Arn'ertt left Saturday to visit her son, F. F. Arnetrt Owen Sound It was a relief when a single shot broke the strain of long waiting. The bullet dropped about a couple of hun- dred yards from the cherry patch and ricochetted through the highest branches of it. There was a slight pause and then a second shot from the same spot in the timber, the bul- let dropping this time a hundred yards nearer Al’s screen. ed. riddwled it, and left it in flying tat- ters. the Farm under ground remamed :;nt<>uohed. either did they attempt To repiy. “Don't stir, boys, and don’t shoot 7-2::.":~‘.." coronaztdcrl Al.

Our tariff with the rest of the world does not apply to our north- ern neighbm‘. That policy already has driven AmeriCan‘ manutaCIurers across the Canadian borders, built vast plants with American capital on Canadian soil, employing Canadian workingmen to supply trade. That capital should be kept at home to em- ploy American workingmen to supply Canadian demand. We should admit Canadian wood pulp and Canadian paper free in return for Canada’s ad- mitting our agricultural implements, our engines, pumps, and other ma- chinery free. We should freely admit Canadian lumber to American plan- ing mills in return for Canada’s freely admitting other American manufac- tured products to Canadian markets.” The avérage wages paid on the [arms of. the following countries over periods” as nearly co-incident as pos- sible are as follows:â€" Higher In Canada than In Other Agri- cultural Countries In this connection it is Worthy of mention that certain wealthy United States concerns that recently acquired sites in Canada with a view to the immediate erection of extensive shops have suspended operations pending the outcome of the present negotia- tions, presumably in hopes that our tariff on the goods they manufacture will be so reduced as to make such a move on their part unnecessary. a speech recently delivered by Se'na- tor Beveridge, of Indiana:â€" tions conducted by The Monetary Times (Toronto), it is known that at the present time at least 200 United States manufacturing companies are operating branch factories in Canada, representing an aggregate investment of $226,000,000. For this influx of capital, with all the benefits accruing to the Dominion therefrom, we must thank a tariff which made it worth while for those who hoped to sell us goods to come to this side of the line to manufacture. Had that tariff not been a protective one, those United States manufacturers would probably have enlarged their home factories to take care of Canadian business in- stead of building on this side, in which case we would now be using goods. made from United States material with United States labor, instead of goods made from Canadian material with Canadian labor. That our neighbors look upon this movement as a distinct loss to be remedied by Reciprocity with Canada is shown in the following extract from Fiscal Imp’ts, EXp'tS, (Can.) Year. Bush. Bush.
