IESTERH CANADA'S I90S CROP
WILL GIVE TO THE FARMERS OF
WEST A SPLENDID RETURN.
The following interesting bit of In
formation appeared in a Montreal
paper:
"Last. December, in reviewing the
feat- 1(107, we had to record a wheat
harvest considerably smaller in vol
nine than in the previous year. Against
ninety millions in 1U0G the wheat crop
of he West in 1907 only totaled some
seventy-one million bushels, and much
of tliig of inferior quality. lint 'he
price averaged high, and the total
suit to the farmers was not ninnj1.t
able. This year we have to record by
far he largest wheat crop in the coun
try's history. L'stimates vaiy as to
the exact figure, but it is certainly not
less (ban one hundred million bushels,
mid in all probability it reaches one
hundred and ion million bushels. The
quality, moreover, is good, and the
price obtained very high, so that, in
ail respects the Wesleru harvest of
i»0o has been a meiuuutule one. The
result upon the commerce and finance
of the country is already apparent.
The railways are again reporting in
creases in truffle,- the general trade of
the community has become active
after twelve months' iuiet. and ihe
banks are loosening their purse smugs
to meet the demand for money Th
prospects for l:)U! are excellent. Th..
credit of the country never stood as
high. The immigrants of 1907 and Luj
have now been absorbed into the in
Austria! and agricultural community,
•nd wise regulations are in force to
prevent too great an influx next year.
Large tracts of new country will b.
opened up by the Grand Trunk Pacific
both in Kiist and West. If the seasons
are favorable the Western wliea: crop
should reach one hundred and twenty
million bushels. The prospects for
next year seem very fair." An inter
Sating letter is received from Cardslcn,
Alberta (Western Canada), written to
an agent of the Canadian Government,
any of whom will be pleased to advise
correspondents of the low rates that
may be allowed intending settlers.
''Cardston, December 21st, 1908.
"Dfear Sir: Now that my threshing
Is done, and the question "What Will
the Harvest Be,' has become a cer

sults thereof, believing it will be of in

(l novice In the agricultural line, and
tio not wish you to think I am boasting
because of my success, for some of my
neighbors have done much better than
I have, and I expect to do much bet
ter next year myself. My winter wheat
went 63 bushels per acre—and graded

The stock requires no shelter or win

Southwestern Alberta will soon be
known as the farmers' paradise and I
am only sorry I did not come here five
years ago. Should a famine ever

on that.
I thank you for the personal assist

For a moment she did not speak.
The hard look had not left her face.
He bent forward to touch her hand
gently she drew it quickly away as
if she shrank from the contact. She
cried, feverishly:
"That revolver that you kept in a
locked drawer—that revolver that you
snatched from niv hands as though
in dread at my seeing it, was it with
that weapon that the man I loved was
killed?" she demanded. "I seem to
have seen it before in my dreams I
know, even if you deny, that that was
why you were hiding it—I know it!
Tell me—tell me! Who killed Philip
Hume?"
There swept back on him suddenly
the accusing, suspicious look that she
bad flashed at him in that moment of
learning of Philip Hume's fate, as she
glanced from the revolver she had
found to his face: and the sig
nificance of it struck him now as it
had not struck hint then—now, as he
saw that accusing gleam in her eves
again!

jerk, and the sentence was unfinished.

had become inextricably knotted, had

These brooding suspicions, this un
reasoning jealousy of Hilda—all were
sjmptoms of her illness, the direct
manifestations of her morbid state,
things to be expected, that would pass
with her illness not the real Olive
He must keep himself better in hand
It was the supreme duty of his love
for her that he had set steadily be
fore him, to guard her from any ink

death.
Her eyes looked up at him. filled
with suspicion, as though her doubts
were scarcely lulled
"Whom are you shielding? What
lies behind the veil of silence and se
crecy you are drawing deliberately
before my eyes?' she cried- "You
now who killed my love—you know

How he would have answered Ste

must have played his part, that in

unconfessed knowledge of the crime'
He bitterly rued his own slip in leav
ing that drawer of his desk unlocked
But he was spared the necessity of
answeiing. As he paused, at a loss
for a reply, he heard footsteps com
ing quickly up the stairs, three steps
at a time.
There was a tap at the door. Dr.
Sprent, who had left the house before
Stephen came upstairs, put his head
into the room.
"Come, this won't do, Miss Van
stone! Ruthen, you are defying my
injunction and letting the patient ex
cite herself! I could hear her voice
raised as I re-entered the house- I

about
'What Is your news, doctor? I
know you have some news—some
news about that cruel crime!" cried
Olive, suddenly, watching his face in
tently.
It was as though her woman's sharp
ened intuition had caught, under the
forced lightness of "his manner, a hint
not to be hidden of some inward ter
rible anxiety.

CHAPTER VIII—(Continued.
As Dr. Sprout left. Stephen went
upstairs. Almost before the door was
closed Olive broke out vehemently:
"Then Frank—Philip was engaged
to your sister? It was your sister
who robbed me of the man 1 cared for.
Hut for her ami her wiles he would
never have left nie and broken my
heart!" H»r tones were fierce there
was a passionate, jealous gleam in the
smouldering eyes upturned to him.
"You are wrong," he said, quietly—
"quite wrong."
lie saw the look of incredulity in
her face.
"Hilda was never engaged to him—
never cared for him. I can convince
you. Sb?? rofu£*?ii to njurrv him
I know. And you must be reasonable,
Olive. F.ven if she cared for him—
had accepted him. it would have been
no conscious wrong towards you on
her part. How could she have known
of your relations with Hume? She
does not know of them even now—
does not know that you and be were
ever acquainted."

mean to h" you! Ser:ev.»'. Miss
Yaiistone. you are banning yourself
by this excitement. You must really
not tax your strength by talking."
Almost imperceptibly he beckoned
to Stephen lint hen. who followed hi-.u
from the room, shutting the door after
him.
Outside on the landing the forced
smile fell from the doctor's face.
"How strange that she should guess
it!" lie said, with a jerk of his head,
towards the door.
"Then on have news about
r}\
tragedy?" said Stephen, with dry lip--..
The doctor nodded.
"1 heard it just as I wr.s leaving
your gale, and it's upset nie. Kuthen—
because I like the lad. and 1 won't
believe a word of it. though the e\i
dence seems very strong
"What in heaven's name do yoi:
mean?" cried the rector, looking into
the other's face, with .. vague, new.
terrible fear grip-ring him.
Neither man caught the sound of
the light footsteps of bare feet cross
ing stealthily over the Boor of the
room they had just left, or heard the
handle as it was cautiously turned, or
saw the door being opened an almost
imperceptible space. Behind the
chink of the barely opened door, to
which in a spasm of fictitious strength
she had dragged herself. Olive was
listening feverishly.
I'r. Sprout answered:
"Young .lack Lathom They've ar
rested him for Hume's murder!"
"Arrested .Tack Lathom?'' echoed
Stephen Ruihen. as though for an in
stant his mind could not grasp the
meaning of the words he had heard.
The doctor's announcement had
come to him like a blow in the face—
a swift, blinding, utterly unexpected
blow, under which his senses reeled.
For a moment the walls seemed to
rock about him. Lathom arrested for
Hume's murder!
Sprout saw his agitation. He grip
ped the rector's arm.
"Pull yourself together, man!" he
said, hurriedly.
Oiive!,' he broke out in horror, ened spasmodically, as a terrible cry
)ou can know what you are hint-j broke upon them, startling them im
mg at. "ion can't think that it was measurably—a cry of horror that rang
Almost as he spoke his grip tight-
in the ears of the listening men. A
cry in a woman's voice—Hi.da's voice
—Hilda, who had just heard from
Martha the news the doctor had
brought.
For a second Ihev stood aghast
then made a simultaneous rush down
the stairs. Hilda stood in the hall
with a look of incredulous horror
fiozen on the white face, shaking like
a slender lilv in a wind
'Stephen—Stephen! I can hardly
believe its true!" she cried- wildly
'They ve arrested Jack—my Jack—ar
rested him, the man I love, whom I
have promised to marry! They've ar
rested htm for Philip Hume's mur
der!" The pitiful cry trailed off into
silence.
Stephen Ruthen listened speechless
and aghast. How blind he had been
—Hilda and Jack Lathom were in
love, were engaged to be married' It
had only needed this to add the final
culminating poignancy to the situa
tion. His sister loved Jack Lathom—
and I^athom was in prison charged
with this man's death!
And upstairs on the landing the door
had opened wider, and the white
clad, barefooted figure was listening
intently, with a feverish light of tri
umph burning in her eves, as she
whispered to herself:
"I knew it! I knew Stephen was
shielding some one! That revolver
was proof. And it's Lathom—because
Hilda loves this man Stephen is
shielding the murderer of niv love'
Though it. won't bring mv dead to lire
at least his murderer will suffer—oh
I am glad his murderer will sutler'
And Hilda's lover—I owe no sympathy
or pity to this girl who stole Frank's
love from me!"
Hilda suddenly broke out again ve
hemently:
'Stephen, why don't you speak'
What are you going to do? You must
do something to save Jack! Oh how
could any one dare to do so wlck'-d
a thing as arrest an innocent man'
Stephen, what are you going to do'
No time must be lost—you must do
something! Surely the police will
listen to you when you tell them It
couldn have been Jack! You must
save him!"'
The rector stood with his hands
clenched, his teeth set, as the Implor
ing appeal ran in his ears There
was horror in his face. Yes, he could
save Jack Lathom with a word but
only by surrendering to justice the
v.oman he loved
The innocent man, or the woman lie
had sworn to save? By his silence
or his speech he struck a blow at one
or the other.
One word fiom him and the Inno
cent man's fetters fell off. Only one
word, but a word costing so much—
costing, perhaps, this- woman's life
perhaps her reason, even if the law
spared her.
One word—but at what a cost' Was
he to speak it or' remain silent7

The genera! trend of popular feeling
was ,'ieeted in the attitude of the
crowd that had gathered outside the
town hall, waiting for a sight of the
accused man as lie emerged. It was
known that he had been brought up
'•efere the justices early that after
noon. The proceedings were merely
formal: the prisoner was remanded
for a week.
As
.lack I athom appeared between
the two constables and was hurried to
he four-wheeler drawn up in readi
ness. ihe police roughly pushing back
the press of murmuring bystanders to
clear a way to the cab. for an instant
there looked as if a rescue was likely
to be attempted. It was a critical mo
ment: it had only needed a leader to
give the initiative to the crowd in its
sullen, dangerous mood and a rush
would have been made.
"tlood luck to thee. Jack!" shouted
a burly, grimed foundryman among
the crowd. "Thou'lt be all reet yet,
lad! Three cheers for .lack Lathom!"
The ringing cheers, given with all
the strength of those North country
lungs, that followed the four-wheeler
as it drove off with Lathom and his
escort of two constables to the dis
trict jail, showed in which direction
'he sympathies of the crowd ran.
On the edge of the crowd, and per
haps the most excited person iu it,
was a man in a motor car he was
standing on the seat of his car, cheer
ing frantically—a young man, with a
chubby face so absolutely pink-and
white and cherubic, and eyes so ab
solutely china blue, that irresistibly
one was reminded of a very large and
expensive doll, which if one only
pressed it in the proper place would
squeak "Mamma" quite realistically.
Freddy Thornton—all his friends
called him Freddy—suddenly stopped
cheering, to accost a police officer
who was passing on the outskirts of
the crowd.
"I say, inspector"—the unexpectedly
deep bass tones sounded rather like
the mislaid voice of some burly giant
ot a man, which Fieddv had appropri
ated when no one was looking—

BEES HOLD A STREET
Honey Makers' Fortress of Which
Passersby Are Wary.
If you walk down the east side of
Fillmore street, about midway he.
tween Broadway and Vallejo in Its
most aiislocidtic neighborhood you
Wnl see a bank of clay MOpmg upward
from the sidewalk, and if you look
close jou will see something thot will
make you give that locality a wide
berth the next time vou lake a stroll
'n that direction.
That paitK.uIdi cbi bank innocent
looking as it. is, harbors a Mrmig and
lively colony of bumble been of the
barb sting variety, and no resident of
I lilmore and i'roadway or Vallejo
stieets cares to approach It unwaril/
The bank is nearly thirty fuel long
and is thickly dotted with smiil] holes
which are the entrances to the lionev
laden cones concealed within. At all
hours the -little busy bee" is seen
coming and going, buzzing inio Ihe
hole., and out again, very much con
cerned about, his work and paying
small attention to onlooker unless
he tempts Cievidence bv too (dose an
appioach. One of the bees performs
sf.ntr duty in an alarmingly business
like manner, and It is usually his
warning buzz which prompts the rash
investigator to back up and continue
his observations from a safe distance
In appearance the bank resembles
a miniature fort as it rises to a good
height over the sidewalk, and the ser
ried rows of entrances scattered' over
Its face look like so many portholes
tin ougli which a deadly fire could be
poured upon an approaching enemy.
As there arc probably several thou
sands of the bees, any attack trom
the outside would certainly result in
victory for them.
The property which the bees have
pre-empted is part of a piece or unim
proved real estate. Houses will some
day be built there, however, and if
the resent conditions still exist at. that
time, when the workman drive the
first pick into the hill there will cer
tainly be something doing.

The Breton peasant has some
charming qualities, courtesy, good hu

'I he cottages are frequently very

There is nothing of luxury in a cot

count on two things to beautify even
the poorest. One is the white coif ef
its mistress (always spotless, however
dirty anything else may be), and the
other is the brass trimmings of the
nrmoire, usually polished to a degree
of brightness that is positively daz
zling. Some of these armoires are
reallv beautiful, with elaborately
carved panels, and in many cases are
heirlooms that have been in the fam

the beds—one of them, of which the
mistress is very proud, will be mod

wise, good friend in her mother-in-law,
jokes notwithstanding. She writes:
"It is two years since we began us
ing Postum in our house. I was great
ly troubled with my stomach, complex
ion was blotchy and yellow. After
meals 1 often suffered sharp pains and
would have to lie down. My mother
often told me it was the coffee I drank
at meals. But wheij I'd quit coffee I'd
have a severe headache.
While visiting m.v mother-in-law I
remarked that she always made such
good coffee, and asked her to tell me
how. She laughed and told me it was
easy to make good '"offee' when you
use Postum.
I began to use Postum as soon as I
got home, and now we have the same
good 'coffee' (Postum) every day, and
I have no more trouble. Indigestion is
a thing of the past, and my complex
ion ^as cleared up beautifully.
My grandmother suffered a great
deal with her. stomach. Her doctor
told her to leave off coffee. She then
took tea but that was just as bad.
"She finally was induced to try
Postum which she has used for over a
year. She traveled during the winter
over the greater part of Iowa, visiting,
something she had not been able to do
for years. She says she owes her
present good health to Postum."
