By FRANCES RIVERS ' II I 'r ' . . r . ( Copyright , 190G , by Jos ph n. Dowlcs. ) I . Selfishness , that Inshllous fee thnt wo Iteep moro or less unller control In am' homo Is unloosell dlrootly wo stn1.t upon our trnvols. Sir John Hny bnd , by reprehenslblo monns , secured unto himself a. first. class carrlngo. Ho hall tipped porters handsomely and was watching the , guard puff his choelm flreparatory to blowing them empty through the whlstlo thnt was to glvo the engine. driver the slgnnl to stnrt , when the Ihandlo of hiD carrlngo door was wrenched violently open. . ' 'l'ho girl who stelled up and In turned to aid the Ingress of her com. : , pnnlon , who , however , remained on I It11e platform and , uplifting her harills , tJrled : "GracIous , I Imvo left your and bag I " Then , turning - brusquely from the oor of the comlHutment , she spoil a-apleUy up the plntform and Illved Into he .Interlor of the station. 1 The long-delayed whistle sounded i . hnd the guard locked the door of the i fnrrlage. I Sir John had been annoyed out of aU reason at the Invnsl n ; yet hero bo was , gesticulating , Imploring , com. } unnctlng delay , and. offering back. sheesh on the Intruder's behalf. ' . The laws of the Medes and Persians \Voro ns nothing compared to the in. . cxornblo rules of Company's Time. , Sir Jom gl'Ound his teeth while the engine groaned , gnsped , spluttered , 8hrieled , then slid into the comfort- flble level ol'--Iong.journey timo. - Sir John experienced n , feeling ot Uvely . annoyance. Companionship that has not been sought , although it 111n1 be wlll provo a bOOll. man Invariably resents. But , when the 'Caso is ono of enforced com. panlonship with the particular woman , whom for five : rears the particular man - 11as , carefully .sought to avoid , then , the case but goes to prove the futility , , pt fighting Fate. Ho turned to his comp nlon. " 'Thoro you see how little one's aid is worth when ono 'can't even delay n . ! rain for you. " . . She laughed-'twas on"a major note , 1 n the moment of tension passed. "And to thinle thnt I "havo tipped j 4 those men for 'ears nnd years ! " he I . deplored , then added : "Fate having mnde us fellow.trav. elers as far as Swindon-I presume - jthnt you will await your _ l1l1.ic1 ; nt 9wlndon-w can surely behave me ordinary , courteous' beings of the 'world and discuss such subjects' nre not tabooed to the use of strano , - ers. " "I have most fragmentary Ideas , but perhnps 'the woather- ? " she sug ; gested. . "The weather ! The subject ahva 's tCJ hand. I thinle that , even before wo reach' Swindon , It would bo only , polite - to offer you the hospitality of my rug. Is. . that permitted ? " t "Certainly , for slnco your name and' condition are atlvertlsed by the brass plato on your gun-calle , I may be SUI ) ' posed to have seen them , and , tal\O them as a species of introduction. " "The name hns , since 'ou rem em. .ber . It , an addition. " "You forget that wo 'are strnngers , and that the Sir John Hay of the gun. case Is not necessarily my John Hny. " . 'Thero was perhaps the tiniest poilU ' . . " - 'of raillery in her eyes. "True , thnt's true. And Sir John 'f Hay- " t "Would nt this stage of our en. .forced acquaintance bo anxious to In. 'form himself of the news of the day. " \ Sir John took up the Times. "May .he be permitted to offer to his com. panion-1" "Tho Field. Thank you. " She ac. 'cepted ' it with a smile. "I regret , for your sake , that It Is \ " not the Q een. " He became im. ' , . 'mersed in his journnl , thus giving to , the womnn opposite lelsuro to inspect his faco. He was decidedly gOOd.looklng , arls. tocratlc , dlstlngulshed.looldng , with the distinction promised at 20 , trace : able at 30 , and now , nt fivo-and.thirty , which she lenow to bo his age , very . decidedly marleed. There wns a long , noisy silence. She brolto it with a pretty pretense of . hesitation : ! beg your pardon- " . The Times was determinedly put , aside , and Sir John , In his turn , 100l\Od 'at his companion , and in nn in9tnnt . , things slid into their right propor. , lions. After all , how ab-surd had been his idea that on the small Incom'e to which five years ago ho could lay , claim , he could have supposed ho might support this exotic Hewer of . womanhood. How had he ever ven. ! tured to suggest to her transplantation . to tle blenl , all' of his barren poverty ! Ho had to admit to himself that he .Ih"d no grievance even ngnlnst her worldly.wiso l)11rents. : "You were going to 13I1Y- ? " " "That I fear the wenther Is getting worse , and ought we not to be somo. ; where near Swindon ? " "The weather Is certainly getting worse , but I am not In a position to , bo sure about Swlndon. It strllces me jt11at we have embarl\Od upon a jour. .ngy that has no percelvablo end. " "You have- " Miss Muir's eyes wR.lld red to the lunch baslcet-"wlth .

" POl'hnlS it was the lunch that un. loclted the h(1art of him. Defore it 110 . hnd felt in 1\IIss Muir's presence a little' uncomfortable : but now , lee : nlf at her , she became fami1lar own deter tor as It were to the woman he h d loved.

FILLINQ UP THE CANADIAN WEST. The American Settler 18 Welcomed to Canada. A number oftho leading newspa. pel's on this sldo of the line hnvo been noticing the growth f the Canndlan West in recent 'ears , nOlI draw atton : tlon to the fact that there seems to be no abatement of t110 Influx of sotUers to that great grain-growing country. The Duffalo Express thus refers to the subject : "CanadaWest continues to grow. There were 4,17 ! homesteads entries there In Ju1 ' ot this ; rear , as against 3,671 in July , 1J05. ! Canada. . llumes herself ever this fact , with becoming I prIde. Dut whnt nppears to make our neighbors happiest is the - statement that of these 4,174 homes tenders , . 1,212were from this sldo of the lIno. Llttlo Is said about the ! J7 Canadians who recrossoll the bordQr to talco up 110mes In Canada. West , or of the 808 trom Great DrItaln , or of tbe 1,23G from non.Dritish countries. It ap. pears that the Item in this July report that makes Cnnncln reJolco most Is this of the 1,212 AmerIcan farmers who decided to try then. fortunes in lanada : West. "Tho compliment is deser\'ed.

' 11hoy tale capital with them , too , sny Canadian papers'proud. . ly. In every way , they nro welcome o\'er there. " As the Express well SIlYS , the American is welcomed to Cannda , nnd the reasons sh'en are sufficient to into - \to ! the welcome. The Ameriaen ( armer Imows thoroughly the farming ondltions that prevail In the Cnnn. . :1Ian : pr lrlo pro\'lnc s , 'and Is aware of every phnso of agrlcuaurnl dovel. ; > pment In recent years. In practical Imowledge of what is wanted to get the largest return for llbor and investment he is by long oclds superIor to any European set. tier. He lmews what Is required to . bring success , and he is able and wl11. , Ing to do it , and his future causeD no apprehension to the successful Cann : dlnn farmer. The agent of the Canadian - dian Government ; whose address av. penrs elsewhere , says that the ditter- ence between the manners nnd cus : toms of the farmer from Dakota , Ore. gen or Minnesota and the farmer from Manitoba , Saslmtchewan or Alberta is not nearly so marlted as that boo tween the fnrmer of the Maritime provinces and the Ontario tiller of the soil. Hence the welcome to the free homesteads of the Cnnadlan West , nnd there are hundreds of thousands at them left , that is extended to the . Bottler t om the Western States.

IncidentaIly it inelicates that the United States Is not alone In fac. Ing Increased cost 'of living. TIle report - port says : "Owing to the rapidly Increasing - creasing cost of living in Japan labor costs more , and in consequence mil. tfvatlon of the tea gnrdens is less generous and extensive thnn..formerly , and less care and skill are expended In plcldng and curin ! ; the leaf.
