There is a pretty general impression
that the work undertaken by the spy
is invariably disgraceful work and
lhat the professional military secret
service agent is a more or less degrad
ed creature degraded -that is for the
time being by the very nature of the
mission he undertakes Of course
nothing could be further from the
truth There are spies and spies The
paid renegade who for mere pay un
dertakes to pry into and betray the se
crets of his friends stands upon an en
tirely different footing from the officer
who taking his life in his hands ven
tures into the enemys camp in order
gratuitously to obtain information
which may turn out to be of infinite
value to his own intelligence depart

Lord Kitchener was a spy of this lat
ter sort and it was his cleverness
energy and resourcefulness inithis ca
pacity which first attracted to him the
notice of his superiors Alone and un
armed he plunged into the revolted
Soudan in the autumn of 1882 and suc
ceded in penetrating disguised as a
peddler of hurra cakes as far as Om
durman itself Here he saw a fellow
spy stripped naked flogged till the flesh
hung in ribbons from his body and
then crucified face downward in the
blazing sun Ever afterward in his
wanderings among the wild desert
tribes Kitchener carried with him a
tiny phial of cyanide of potassium As
he tersely put it I did not fear deathr

The Prairie Ianda of TTestern Canada
Being Filled witli Excellent Settlers
The salient fact that presents itself
in taking a birdseye view of the Cana
dian West is that of intense activity
in every department TThether the
glance be turned upon the district east
of Winnipeg the Red River valley
south or north the Dauphin and M
N W district the southweetern or
whether it take in the gTeat central
division along the main line of the C
P R stretching away out to the Rock
ies and from there bending north arsd
south to Prince Alberta and Edmon
ton McLeodsand Iiethbridge Jrfhether
the examination be made in any of
these directions the same activity
growth and hopefulness is observable
The Canadian West is not only a
good place to locate permanently but
it is also a good place to invite their
relatives and friends to come to This
is the spirit that seems to animate the
West at the present time and its ef
fects are to be seen on every hand
To enumerate the towns where hand
some and substantial blocks and resi
dences have gone up this year would
be simply to give a list of the towns
and villages along the railway lines
And this movement has not been con
fined to these centers of population but
in manj cases it has been overshad
owed by the improvement in farm
buildings
So far as one can see this is no pass
ing phrase no repetition of any tempo
rary boom following a period of good
crops and fair prices It is a movement
more spontaneous more general more
marked than anything that has gone1
before and seems to indicate that the
great West like Samson bursting the
encompassing bands has awakened to
a period of activity and development
that will surpass anything we have
known in the past and which will only
be paralleled by the opening out of
some of the most fertile of the Western
States of the Union
Look at some of the figures Over
a thousand schools in Manitoba and
the number going up by leaps and
bounds Something like five hundred
schools in the territories Winnipeg as
representing the gateway of the West
the third city in the Dominion in regard
to bank clearings postal business and
probably in regard to customs trte cus
toms returns at Winnipeg running
about thirty to forty per cent greater
month by month than in the fiscal year
of 1897 S the largest previous year for
actual business entries when over
900000 was paid through the Winni
peg office for duty The C P R and
Canada Northwest land sles tojrether
run over 1500000 for the year These
and a thousand more signs show how
the West has leaped into new life
This is an inspiring and cheering
spectacle but it brings with it great
responsibilities The busieess men real
ize this the banks realise it and have
spread their agencies- through every
bustling little town clear out to the
coast the churches realize it and one
denomination alone has opened an av
erage of about thirty new stattwss in
each of the pa st two years taA will
increase this in the year jww etered
upon the Government departments re
alize it and there is talk of rsdtatrfbu
tion and additional members The ed
ucational branches realise it sod ew
schools are springing up everywhere
Over 12000 settlers earn la from the
United States alone last year and
these with the people who cme In
from the East prove the met viforous
Westerners They lose no time ia de
veloping their farms in flifag their
grazing lands with stock ad in every
district are to be found erideeiew of
thrift and prosperity

CHAPTER XV
Mr Jack Duncombe seemed very well
pleased to be back among us and was
gay and talkative his facetiousness chief
ly faking the form of magnifying the
possible dangers of that trip down the
open Severn to which we were now defi
nitely pledged Perhaps he meant to
show that this part of the expedition was
as important as the passage of the tun
nels which he had missed perhaps he
was so sure of the seaworthiness of the
boat that he could afford to scoff but
in any case he entirely failed to terrify
his hostess if that was his aim
Oh no said she with decision
whatever may happen to the rest of
you Peggy and I will be safe I am not
going to take the opinion of any of you
gentlemen I am going to take the opin
ion of a professional seaman I am going
to ask Murdoch whether we should make
the xenture And if he is in any way
doubtful then there is the landeu for
Peggy and me and you may as well keep
an eye on us as we are driviis along the
road for when we see you sinking we
should like to wave a handkerchief by
way of good by
At this moment Miss Peggy came out
into the sunlight she had been adorning
the saloon with the flowers that had done
duty on the dinner table at the hotel the
night before Moreoiver she had made
bold to appropriate to herself a few hya
cinths and the little bouquet looked very
well on her dress of dark blue serge
Come here you American girl Queen
Tita says to her and takes hold of her
by the arm and makes room for her by
her side do you know that 1 am re
sponsible for your safety and now that
these people have determined to go down
the Severn in this cockle shell of a thing
the question is whether I am going to
allow you to remain on board
I thought that was all settled ob
serves Mis Peggy rather appealing to
Col Cameron
It is not all settled Mrs Threepenny
bit makes answer I will not permit of
any foolhardiness and unless I can be
assured that there is not the slightest
danger you and I will put ourselves into
a carriage and get down to Bristol on
good solid land I am going to consult
Murdoch
Oh Murdoch says Miss Peggy
quickly
Yes although he is a steward he has
been a sailor too all his life and unless
he thinks we may safely run the risk
then ashore we go
Oh yes very well I agree to that
remarks Miss Peggy and why should
she again glance toward Sir Ewen Cam
eron this time with a kind of smile in
her eyes I will hold myself bound by
Murdochs opinion certainly
Why Miss Rosslyn Inverfask inter
poses with a touch of reproach you
promised to stay by the ship
But I am not going to allow her to
run into any danger Queen Tita says
in her peremptory fashion I have got
to restore her safe and sound to the
United States and much good may they
get out of such a piece of baggage
So on this brilliant and shining day
we got on by Rea Bridge and Quedgley
and Hardwicke even unto Whitminster
where is the junction with the Stroud
water Canal But we did not stay to
make inquiries as to the practicability of
getting back to the Thames by this route
we had signed our articles as it were
and were bound for Bristol the allure
ments of the Avon and the Kennet
among other considerations had proved
too potent So we continued our placid
voyage and so fair and shining and beau
tiful was the country around us that we
pretended not to know that a breeze had
sprung up and that those mighty masses
of purple cloud were advancing heralded
by a few rags and shreds of silvery
white
The storm burst forth while we were
all inside and leisurely seated at lunch
It had been growing darker for some
time before but we had hardly noticed it
for we were listening to Jack Duncombes
recital of his experiences on the produc
tion of his one and only piece and our
imaginations were away in the region of
the lamp lighted Strand But all of a
sudden there was a sound that recalled
us to our actual surroundings a smart
rattle as of buckshot on the forward
Window and then we became aware that
the world without was steeped in an un
usual and mysterious gloom The next
moment the tempest broke upon us with
a roar a continuous thunder of rain and
hail and ice that battered on the roof and
hurled itself against the windows with
an appalling fury We could guess that
the sudden gale was tearing the water
around us into a white smoke but we
could see nothing for the panes were
steaming with half melted ice and hail
itones Then in the midst of all this
Jbewilderment of noise there was a sharp
er crack as if a pistol had been fired just
outside
Why whats that cried Jack Dun
combe jumping up and making forward
Here dont open that window one
had to call to him Do you want to
swamp the whole place Leave the hur
ricane alone it isnt meddling with you
But what was this now The Name
less Barge was going more slowly then
It touched something gently then it stop
ped altogether
I know what it is said that young
man triumphantly The tow rope has
broken and Murdoch has run the boat
alongside the bank
When we went outside we found a
most tempestuous looking scene around
us Far away in the west the Monmouth
shire hills steeped in a somber gloom
but the hills in the east were swept by
flying rain clouds followed by bursts of
sunlight that produced a rainbow on the
soft gray background And if the colors
of the landscape had been vivid before
they were now keener than ever In this
dazzling radiance the very hedges and
willnws beside us wre all shimmering in

breeze blowing too a stimulating sort of
breeze that seemed to suggest our fighting
our way against it as indeed we very
soon were For we found that the tow
path were offered excellent walking so
we all got ashore Jack Duncombe and
Queen Tita leading the way through this
whirling and changing world of showers
and flying clouds and sunlight
Col Cameron said Miss Peggy with
a certain demure air didnt you say that
the Highlanders were so courteous that
usually they would try to answer you as
they thought you wanted to be answer
ed
They have a tendency that way and I
dont blame them Why do you ask
said he
Because I dont think we shall have
any need of a landau to morrow
I I dont quite understand said he
Didnt you say there should be no de
serters from the ship when we go down
to Bristol she asked still with her eyes
on the ground
Well it would be a pity wouldnt it
he answered her Why not see the thing
through You are not afraid I know
and I understood you to say you meant
to keep by the boat Oh yes I distinct
ly think we should hang together
Dont you mean drown together she
asked meekly
If it comes to that yes My own
opinion is that there wont be the slight
est danger of any kind
But you belong to the army whereas
it is a naval expert who is to be called
in Miss Peggy continued And and
I thought you looked a little surprised to
day when I consented to abide by his
judgment Theff you had forgotten what
you told me about the Highlanders
And still this tall long striding sandy
mustached colonel didnt perceive what
she was driving at
I think I know what Murdochs opin
ion will be she observed modestly
And then he burst into a roar of laugh
ter
Excellent excellent You are going
to tell him beforehand that you are anx
ious to remain in the boat and then you
will askhim whether you should or not
Very skillful very ingenious
Presently Queen Tita called aloud
Peggy come along Here is some
thing for you
These two ahead had come to a halt
at a corner of the winding towpath and
when we overtook thorn we perceived the
reason why In the great valley now
opening before them lay the wide bed of
the Severn River here and there show
ing long banks of yellow sand and here
and there narrower channels of lapping
water of similar hue Which was the
main body of the stream we could hardly
make out water and sand seemed in
many places to lose themselves in each
other
Well said Mrs Threepenny bit
doesnt it remind you
Of what asked Peggy
Why of the Missouri at Council
Bluffs she exclaimed I thought you
would see -the likeness at once those
great mud banks and the yellow water
I thought your loyal heart would leap up
that we should see tears of gladness in
your eyes
But I never saw the Missouri any
where remarked Mips Peggy innocent
ly
What you never were at Omaha
No never
Well you are a pretty American
Yes thats just what she is one
ventured to observe merely by way of
defending the poor thing
A pretty American you are Never
saw the Missouri I wonder if you ever
heard t the Capitol at Washington
As for that rejoined Miss Peggy I
know of somebody who has lived all her
life in England and never went to
till the year before last
I consider you a very impertinent
young person said Mrs Threepenny bit
with much dignity and therewith she
turned to her former companion and they
resumed their walk and talk
CHAPTER XVI
Now as our good friend the harbor
master was coming along to have a look
at the Nameless Barge it was not
likely that the responsible people of the
party were going to the ships steward
to get his opinion of her seaworthiness
but Queen Tita had a great faith in Mur
doch and Miss Peggy knew it and on
the first chance the young lady had
which was early the next morning she
set about beguiling and perverting the
mind of that simple Highlander
Murdoch said she in her innocent
faohion as she was putting some flowers
on the breakfast table Murdoch you
know we are going down to Bristol
Yes mem
And that the river is very wide down
there
Yes mem
You dont suppose there is any really
serious risk do you she asked in an
off hand way
But at this Murdoch hesitated Did the
young lady wish to be encouraged to go
by water or persuaded to go by land
Then perhaps it may have occurred to
him that he might as well tell the simple
truth
Well mem said he I do not know
myself but there was two or three o
them last night they were saying to me
it was not for five hundred pounds they
would go down to Bristol in this boat if
there was any kind of a preeze from the
sous or souwest
Here was a most unexpected blow
even Peggy was a little bit startled
What was that she said
Yes mem thatsMwhat they were
saying not for five hundred pounds
would they go down the ruwer in this
boat
Its the landau for you Miss Peggy
one observed to her But she was not
to be easily turned from her purpose
Wait a bit Murdoch who were these
men
Oh they were chist men Irom the
docks he answered
Yes coal heavers and people like that
I suppose What could they know about
a boat like this
Mebbe no mich said the young High
lander cautiously for it was not clear
to him as yet which way she wanted him

Well she said I wouldnt repeat a
foolish speech like that if I were you
Five hundred pounds a lot of babies talk
ingjaonsense How can there be any
danger I dont see any possibility of
it
And now here was his cue at last and
his answer was forthcoming readily
Dancher said he Oh no mem
there will be no dancher at ahi no no
there will be no dancher whateffer
You are quite convinced of that Mur
doch she said dexterously pinning him
to his expressed belief
Well mem said he the Severn is
only a rawer1 and she was on a ruwer
before and did ferry well and shell do
ferry well again
This sounded reasonable though to be
sure there are rivers and rivers But
Miss Peggy went on to tell him of the
proposal that certain members of the par
ty should go by land and of her own de
cided opinion that we should all keep to
gether and in a way appealed to him
to confirm her judgment
Why it would be cowardly to leave
the others wouldnt it she continued
And I know at least Ive heard Mur
doch that you never had any great liking
for this boat but you have seen what
she can do and she has never got us into
trouble hitherto So long as she keeps
afloat what more can we want Why
T believe she would float well enough on
the open sea
At sea mem said Murdoch rather
aghast
Well what would happen to her
asked this bold student of nautical mat
ters
Pless me mem he exclaimed if
there was any wind at ahl she would roll
about like a tib and tek in water and
then she would sunk ay in five minutes
she would be down
Oh she would roll about like a tub
and then sink observed Miss Peggy
thoughtfully Then she said in a lighter
tone Well Murdoch it is no use talk
ing about impossibilities We are going
to Bristol down a river as you say and
it would be a great pity for any of us to
leave the others wouldnt it
Oh yes mem a great peetyl said
he
And you know quite well there wont
be any danger she observed insidious
ly
Oh I do not think there will be any
dancher at ahl he repeated
And Murdoch I wouldnt say a word
about that foolish speech you heard last
night she said by way of closing the
interview
Ferry well mem Murdoch obedi
ently answered and went about his du
ties
You should have seen her face when h
was gone it was so serene and seious
and ingenuous it was only her eyes that
spoke
Well of all
All what she asks and there in
hardly a smile in those telltale eyes
To go and bewilder a poor Highland
lad
Dont you know this she says inter
rupting in her usual unconcerned man
ner that women are weak helpless de
fenseless creatures and that sometimes
when they have a particular aim in view
they have to use a little judicious skill
in pure innocence
Yes a very simple innocent young
thing you are
Dont you think I am she says
calmly and she stalks across the saloon
and takes her banjo off the peg and sits
down and begins twanging at the strings
Then this is what one hears
When de good old Gabriel gwine to blow
de horn
Youd better be dar sure as you are born
For he gwine to wake you early in de
morn
He s gwme to wake you early in de
mornmv
Then when she comes to the chorus
she sings alto
DenK rise children sing around de door
Well gadder early on de golden shore
Hes a comin right now an hell come
no more
Hes a gwine to meet us early in de
mornin
Then comes a brisker air
Its early in de mornin before we see
he sun
Roll aboard dat cotton and get back in
a run
De captains in a hurry I know what he
means
Wants to beat the Sherlock down to New
Orleans
This also has a chorus which she
sings with much complacency and all for
her own enjoyment apparently
Roll out heave dat cotton

Roll out heave dat cotton

so that he can freely breathe the air
his head high and his arms swinging he
strides along as if he enjoyed the exer

Sometimes he drives -with Mrs McKinley
for a companion sometimes with a mem

Frequently he has his favorite saddle
