They had de1i>nely hurled “Adios, Layne!‘ at the bronzed young foreman as he lvaucd against the corral gate. They could not understand why he had persistently refused to join their recep« tion committee. It really was not the coming of Her- ington. "the boss.“ that was calling forth the unusual demonstration. but the return of Gypsy. their little com- rade of the range. whom they had not seen for four years. It never entered their simple heads that two years of school in France. followed by two more of travel and society. might have changed their merry, fun loving little She was willing back as she had promised-that was the dominant con- sideration-and off they went. whoop- Ned Layne. however. knew different- ly. He had seen her a year ago, and the knowledge had come to him then. She was a young lady. and theyâ€"and heâ€"were only cowboys. As he leaned against the gate he thought of the old days. He remembered her eyes and voice on the evening before she depart- ed into the world and remembered how she had said to him: “Goodby. Ned. Father is going to give you the place of foreman. Make the most of your opportunities and buy out the Bar T. Don‘t forget me. Ned." and her eyes had been moist when she suddenly dropped them. “I’ll never forget you. Gypsy.” he had promised stoutly, pressing the hand that fluttered in his. “When I come home to the ranch I want you to be here to meet me.” she added. “I'll be sure to meet you." he return- ed. Then the train had borne her away to the new life. so different from that among the boys on her father‘s ranch. Ned Layne and Gypsy Herington had been great comrades in those care free days. and if now he was the only one not riding out to meet her it was be- cause he felt that those old days were gone forever and would best be for- gotten. There should be nothing on his part to remind her of old promises and old thonghts that could have no place in her life any more. Just a year ago Layne had seen her § once at a great hotel in New York.1 where the wealthy rnnohmnn and his? daughter were stopping. He had gone all the way to the far eastern city for no other purpose than to see her. but ‘ the result had been a sadly discourag- ing one. and he had said farewell to his dreams. Gypsy. dressed in a be wildering gown and moving: with her wiIdoring ease and ek-gnm-o among the i elegant throng that oppressed the‘ ranr-hmnn. was on her way to the opera under esrort of :m imrnnonlatmy ‘ clad young Engfishmnn poscoseod of. a big titte. and Layne was left to be? entertained by her father. ' . ._.A .o - - She had asked him to come bark and breakfast with them. but her (hanged bearing and the cool treatment accord. ed to him by the condescending noble man had nettled Layne. He took the very next train hack to the land of sunshine. where people were not proud and stuck up and did not forget old friends. “Yes. I saw her." he answered. veil- ing the bitterness in his heart. “and she‘s a great belle in her society togs. She has a bean. Lord Percy Ellington, one of those plug batted chaps. and she seems to like his attentions all right, The boss says he followed them back from Europe.” On his return the cowboys of Circle [1 bad besieged him eagerly for news of their little chum of the ranch. Having imparted this information to the news hungry men. Ned had gone off by himself under the starlight and finally abandoned all his old plans and hopes. Ever since that night the young man had been formulating a plan for his future. which he kept strictly to him- self. resolved to execute the first step toward it when the owner of the ranch returned to his own again. According- ly be mounted Muggins. his own pony. and rode rapidly away across the brown mesa before the party could ar- rive. From an eminem-e his well trained eyes caught the blur of rising dust far up the trail. Nearer approach enabled him to recoguiZe the ranch buckboard driven by Bobcat Nick. Seated by the driver was the trim figure of Gyp 55'. While the stout form of Heringtor and a slender man wearing a derby occupied the back seat. Trailing be- hind or galloping proudly on either side of the vehicle rode the adoring cowboys. chatting merrily with their old friend. At sight of the derby hat a frown crossed Ned‘s face. and. putting spur to the unofl’ending Muggins. the dis- gruntled young horseman rode 01! down ,the gulch. “Ellington along!” he exclaimed “Yet what right have I to be surprised ’ or curator that!

But there is. he says, one thing lacking in all of themâ€"the work of Canadian artists. Mr. Lane wonders that these native artists, who rank, as a whole, with the modern Dutch school, do not receive more re- cognition. Such artists as Horatio Walker, Homer Watson, Edmund Morris, Gagnon, William Brymner, and James Frazer, have no peers in their own field.

He scrambled to his feet and. throw- ing one arm across the saddle on his pony’s back. leaned there till he could summon self mastery. “What 'do you care. Gypsy '2" he finally interrugzlted. his eyes stubborn- ly refusing to nwet hers. “Tell me what it all means. Ned," she begged. "Why are you not your- self? Why do I find you so changed?" Some of the brightness left the girl's face as she noted the misery on his. “Changed? Heavens!” and he could not forbear a gesture of impatience. “You"- “Here." she interrupted in the scold- ing tone of her privileged girlhood. “we come all the way from New York to pay you a visit at Circle H. arrive and find this on the table." and she held up a letter. “What do you mean by resigning? Why do you want to leave father's much? He is wild over it and sent me to find you.” "I should think Ellington might ob- ject to your riding after me." he re- marked. his ln'unze cheeks reddening with sworn. “Oh. that was Cousin Cyril. who is just out of college and needs the tonic of our mountain ozone.” “Ellington '3" Then a light broke over her face. ”That funny lord? Why. Lord Percy is in England long ago. Finding me too loyal an American to buy a foreign title. he ended the long siege and departed." “Who came with you and your faâ€" ther. then?" be inquired. He turned. facing her squarely. 'Witb one of his strong hands be im- prisoned both of hers and hold them against his breast. Slipping lightly from the back of Slap Dash, she came over to Ned and in her Old way put both hands on his strong young shoulder, “Now. Ned." she said. ”you won't leave Circle H. will you? Father needs you.99 “Why did you treat me as you did in New York?" he moodily demanded. evading the question. “Before a strangerâ€"and Lord Percy at that?" asked she. laughing roguish- 1y. “If. sir. you had come to breakfast next morning l--I might have treated you otherwise." “What would you have done ifwif I had come?" he said breathlessly. Her lovely face went very crimson under the senrrhlight of his eyes. but she answered bravely, “Ned. I'd have kissed you right out.” The foothills :00ka natural again. The sun shone with its old time glint and shimmm- upon the gray desert sand. He had nu longer the feverish desire to get away to fresh sr'enes. “I’ll stay at (Tin-k.» II always.

M hwy-Wm; Mr. Lane visited the galleries of Sir William Van Horne, Lady Drum- mond, and Mrs. Angus, in Montreal, and of Sir Edmund Walker, Sir Ed- mund Osler, Mrs. Timothy Eaton, Mr. D. R. Wilkie, and Mr. Chester D. Massey, in Toronto. “These connoisseurs have fine re- presentative collections of the mod- ern Dutch and French schools,” said Mr. Lane. “There is a sprinkling of the work of British artists, such as Home], McTaggart, Swan, Melville, and Lavery. I was somewhat dis- appointed at not finding more of the British school, and so few pictures of Canadian artists. One would like to see the same appreciation of Canadian art. as Canadians show to their great humorist, Prof. Stephen Leacock.” Speaking of Leacock, Mr. Lane said that perhaps the professor’s early recognition "in Canada might be due to his endorsement by Eng- land and America! Mr. Lane has noticed a great in- vrease in Canada’s demand for Eng- lish books. There has been an awak~ ening in this country’s interest in the life and letters of England and Eurone, and not only English fiction. but English biography and English essays and political writings are be- ing called for in surprising numbers. Just at present, fewer serious books are being published owing to the sudden demand for books relat- ing to the war in all its phases. Books that have long lain dead. books of obscure modern history and diplomacy, of description of the yarious countries involved in war, are being revived. One volume that was suppressed by the Kaiser, and which had a doubtful popularity ten years ago â€"â€" “Life in a Garrison Town,” by Lieut. Bilse -- is now re- ceiving world-wir’e interest, as being a true picture of military and civilian life in Germany under Hm military regime. Books like “The Iron Year” and “When William Came." novels that had indifferent success hereto- fore. are now among the “best sell- ers.” “It is interesting: to note.” said Mr. Lane. “that the most notable contribution to serious literature this year is the work of a Canadian. the study of the economic history of Rus- sia by Prof. James Mavor, of the I’niversity of Toronto.

Then came the French, and the Indians, who did not wan; them, sup- posing they had come on the same m ssion as the Spanish, kept pouring into their ears the Spanish sentence, “Aca nada.” The French, who knew as little of the Spanish language as they, supposed that the incessently recurring sound was the name of the country, and ultimately christened it Canada, which it since.
