Bhe led tho way through tho door
opening out of tho hall to tho right,
and, onco Inside, ho stood awkwardly
rooted to tho floor, gazing about him
and at her and all tho tlmo trying not

"Won't you sit down?" sho ropoated.
"Look hero,1' ho aold, In a volco that

So precipitate was he, that sha had
,t&rely tlmo to cry out her Involun

ho attemptod to gather her Into

"Oh, I know I'm a suro enough fool,"
ke said. "I I guoss I'll sit down,

"I'm not afraid," sho answered, with
a smile, slipping down horself Into a
ichalr.
"It's funny," Daylight sighed, almost
Trith regret; "horo I am, strong
enough to bend you around and tie
knots In you. Hero I am, used to hav
ing my will with man, beast or any
thing. And hero I am sitting In this
chair, as weak and helpless as a Httlo

"II wish you hadn't asked," she

"I can't marry you," sho said. "I
IIr.o you a groat deal, but"
Ho waited ft moment for her to com
pleto tho sentonco, falling which, ha
vent on himself,
"I haven't nn oxagncrated onlnlon

He shook his head slowly.
"That's ono too many for mo. Tho

"No, no," she cried, but beforo sho
could continue, a knock camo on tho
door.
Ills eyes, quick with observation
like an Indian's, darted about tho
room whllo sho was out. Tho Impres

overs from the tlmo hor fathor went
broke and died.
Sho rc-onlorcd tho room, and as she
crossed It to her chair, ho admired
tho way sho walked, whllo tho bronzo
slippers were maddening.
"I'd like to ask you several qucn
tlons," ho began Immediately. "Arc ;

"Thoro Isn't anybody else. I don i ,

"It strikes mo that you're the mo t

there anybody you llko as much n

Dut Dcdo had hersolf well in hand
"That's unfair," sho said. "And If
you stop nnd consider, you will find
that you aro doing tho vory thing you
disclaimednamely, nagging. I refuse
to aiinWer any more of your questions. !
Let us talk about other things. How
is Bob?"
Half an hour Inter, whirling along
through tho rain on Telegraph Avc
nuo toward Oakland, Daylight smoked
ono of his brown-paper cigarettes and
rovlewed what had taken place. It was
not at all bad. was his summing up,
though Ihuie wua uiuoh uuuuL 11 that
was baffling. Thoro was that liking
him the moro sho knew hlra and at
tho samo tlmo wnnting to marry him
less. That waa a puzzler.
Onco again, on a rainy Sunday,
1 weeks afterward, Daylight proposed
to Dodo. As on tho first tlmo, ho re
strained himself until Ills hunger for
hor overwhelmed him nnd swept him
away in his rod nutomobllo to Berke
ley. Ho loft tho machlno several
blocks away and procoodod to tho
houso on foot But Dodo was out, tho
landlady's daughter told him, and
ndded, on second thought, that sho
was walking In tbo hills. Further
more, tho young lady directed him
whoro Dedo's walk was most likely to
oxtond. Daylight oboyod the girl's In
structions, and soon tho street ho fol
lowed passed tho lost houso and Itself
ceased whero beEau the first steep
slopes of tho open hills. Tho air was
damp with tho on-coming of rain, for
tho storm had not yot burst, though
tho rising wind proclaimed Its im

thoro was no sign of Dedo on tho

"Plooso, please," sho bogged. "We

on hor and on hor hair, wind-blown
about hor face,; and because of hor
closeness to him and of a fresher and
moro poignant realization of what sho
meant to him, ho trembled so that sho
was awaro of it in tho hand that held

him, bowing her head until It rested
lightly upon his breast. And so they
stood whllo another squall, with flying
leaves and scattered drops of rain,
rattled past With equal suddenness
she lifted hor head and looked at him.
"Do you know," sho said, "I prayed
last night about you. I prayed that
you would fall, that you would loso
everything everything."
Daylight stared his amazement at
this cryptic uttoranco.
"That suro beats mo. I always said
I got out of my dopth with women,
and you'vo got mo out of my dopth
now. Well, you'vo Just got to ex

His arms went around hor and hold
her closely, and this tlmo sho did not
resist Hor head was bowed, and ho
could not see hor fnco, yot ho had a
premonition that sho was crying. Ho
had learned tho vlrtuo of silence, and
he waited hor will In tho matter.
Things had como to such a pass that
sho was bound to tell him somothlng
now. Of that ho was confident
"I would dearly llko to marry you,"
sho faltered, "but I am afraid. I am
proud and humblo at tho soma timo

WHY PEOPLE GO TO
CANADA
Those who aro wondering why tho
number of Americans going to Canada
year by year increases in tho rates
that it does, would not bo so surprised
woro thoy to accompany ono of the
numerous excursions that nro bolng
run under tho auspices of tho Govern
ment from several of tho states, and
remain with tho settler until he gets
onto tho frco homesteads, which, as
otatod by Speaker Champ Clark, in tho
U. S. senate tho other day, comprises
160 acres of tho most fertile soil and
with remarkably easy settlement con
ditions. Then watch tho results,
whether It bo on this free homestead
of ICO acres or on land which he may
purchaso at from $16. to $20. per acre,
fully as good as tho $100. and $160.
per aero land of his natlvo state, and
which his means wlli not permit his
purchasing. On tho part of tho mem
bers of tho U. S. Senate nnd Congress
thcro is nothing but praise for Canada.
Canadian laws and Canadian-lands al
though tho reasonabto deslro Is shown
In their remarks, that they pass legis
lation, (which is very praiseworthy)
that will make tho land laws of the
United States much easier.
It Is tho success of tho American
settler In Canada that attracts others,
and when experiences such as theol
lowing aro relnted to tho friend "back
homo" is it any wonder that increased
interest Is aroused and a determina
tion arrived at, to participate in tho
now-found way up In Cannda that
means wealth and health nnd all that
accompanies it
William Johnston, who formerly
lived nt Alexandria, Minn., settled In
the Alberg District near Battlo River
nnd la writing- to ono of tho Canadian
Government agents, located in tho
United States says: "Wo havo had no
failures of crops during our nlno years
in Canada. I threshed 1208 bushels of
wheat and 1083 bushels of oats In 1911,
off my 160 acres. This Is a beautiful
country. I keep six good work horses
and milk seven cows, getting good
pricos for butter and eggs. "Wo get
our coal for $2.00, per ton at tho mine,
about ono mtfo froffi tho farm. Am
aboutpno and a half miles from a MnG
school. As for tho cold weather it is
much milder hero than in Minnesota,
whero I lived for 21 years. Our well
Is 35 foot deep and wo havo flno wa
ter. "Wild land is selling for $18.
to $26. per acre. Improved farms aro
much higher. I am well satisfied with
tho country, -and would not sell unless
I got a big price, as we havo all done
well hero."
Good reasons to account for tho
number going to Canada.
