Above the «houts of the men and the clatter of the arriving passengers, he heard Decima‘s voice: "Your wife! your wife!" About halft an hour before the sallingâ€" time, Gaunt saw a man come along the gangâ€"way carrying a bag in his hand. He was m yonnf man, with red hair and & vale face, with amall, bloodshot eyes.

Presently the steward came to him, and asked him the number of his berth. The young fellow hesitated a moment, thf:. he said, in a dull, exprossionless valce: "Your luggage and cases are on board, my lord," he said. "Is this all you have? We start in less than an hour, or there aboute." s Gaunt went down to his cabinâ€"the best in the vesselâ€"and found everything arâ€" ranged comfortably. After a few minutes he went on deck, and lighting a cigar, got into a quist corâ€" ner and leaned againat the #ide, apgarent- Iv watching the ht.t.llu1 crowd, but in reality secing nothing of it.

His rank, his wealth, the position due to her as his wife, she might have â€"but not himself. Then his thought returned to Decima. She must not msrrl Mershon. That, he felt. she would not do; but he would deâ€" «troy Mershon‘s power; he would release the Dean«s from the man‘s clutches. That, at any rate, he could do. He went to the writingâ€"table, and wrote a letter to Belford & Lang, the lawyers. 1t was «hort and to the point. "Ascertain." he said, "the amount in which Mr. Peter Deane is indebted to Mr. Mershon, and any persons connected with the company started by him and Mr. Mershon, and diecharge a‘l his liabilities.

That she would «arry out her threat, claim her right as his wife, and duf his name in the mire, was quite possible, and more probable. But what did it matter? Nothing she eould do could affect him.

W. Cory, C.M.G. w. w. CORY, C.M.G. Cory went to Winnipeg, and enterâ€" ed upon the study of law. He took his articles in the office of the At torneyâ€"General, and was called to the bar in 1889. _ For a dozen years more he practised law in the city of Winnipeg, and then came to Otâ€" tawa as a clerk in the land patent office, where he had to deal with the patents of railway lands. Has Risen Rapidly. In the service his rise was rapid. The year in which he entered the service he was sent to the Yukon as inspector of offices under the Deâ€" partments of the Interior and . of Justice. He spent three summers in the gold country, and saw the prosperity of that territory at its height. During his term there conditions of travel in that far north were much easier than in Manitoba when he went there as a boy. In 1904 he was made commisâ€" sioner of Yukon lands, and in the year following was elevated to the position he at present occupies, Under his jurisdiction is the whole land and immigration adminâ€" istration of the Government. He controls the agents who bring the new settlers from Europe, and he issues to them their land patents, when they have completed their Pioneering was pioneering in those days in the West. The man who now looks after the interests of three hundred thousand settlers a year remembers hu'dohgn of which they have no idea. e was through the grasshopper years of the later seventies and the wet years of the early eighties. "I remember," he said, ‘"the coming of the first of the plague. The first to arrive had hardly alighted in the farmyard before he was pounced upon by a hen, and eaten up. But soon the hens did not know what to make of it. Those grasshoppers did not leave one green thing above the ground. That year we lived on jack rabbit for breakfast, dinner, and supper. We hadn‘t even bread to eat with it. ‘Lhe next year the young grassâ€" hoppers kept everything _ eaten down to the ground, and it was the same story over again ; but the third year the parasite arrived, and they soon disappeared. No Dry Ground Anywhere. ‘‘‘Then in the wet years," he went on, "there was no dry ground anywhere, Across the prairie you walked in water anywhere from your boots up to your neck. It beâ€" came a customary thing to cut a hole in the toe of your boots to let the water run out. In that way, when you got on a tolerably dry piece of land, your feet got comâ€" fortable." Under these conditions and with markets beyond reach, the future Dominion ‘public servant found that farming did not pay, and went into the city. One year his father had to throw out hundreds of bushâ€" els of wheat just to make room for the new crop. After some dozen years on his father‘s farm, young flay the foundations of our Western Provinces. Btrathroy in Western Ontario, was the native town of young Cory, and there he was born on June 16, 1865. A Big Undertaking. At the time when the elder Cory set out for the fertile, but littleâ€" known, plains of Prince Rupert‘s Land, the journey to the West was no light matter. From their home town the little family of pioneers went first to Sarnia and then across Lake Huron and Lake Michigan, and eo over American railways to St. Paul. There, however, resort had to be taken to horse and cart overland to the waters of the Red River and so down its flood to Fort Garry. The journey to Fort Garry: was long and hard, but it was only the beginning. From that then outpost of civilization Cory senior plunged southâ€"west into the counâ€" try about Gladstone. There were then no roads and no surveys. The settler «simply went and picked out his lands where he thought best and squatted on them. Then when the survey was made, he had to hustle for his title.
