it is worth it. So it will be with you.
Next year lands will be higher-priced
and homesteads less accessible. There
is " a wonderful tide of immigration to

Intend to settle upon the land. The
reader does not require an answer to
the questions , "Why do they do it ? "
"Why are they going there in such
large numbers ? " Western Canada is
.
, no longer an experiment. The fact
that one hundred and fifty million
bushels of wheat were raised there
last year as against , ninety-five mil
lions the year previous , shows that
the tiller of the soil in Central Canada

that he is making more money than
can be made anywhere else on the
Continent in the growing of grains.
He gets good prices , he has a sure and
: a heavy crop , he enjoys splendid rail
way privileges , and he has also the
advantages of schools and churches
and such other social life as may be
found anywhere. It is difficult to say
what district is the best. Some are
preferred to others because there are
friends already established. The
I Crand Trunk Pacific , on its way
-across the Continent , is opening up a
splendid tract of land , which is being
taken up rapidly. The other railways
- the Canadian Pacific and Canadian
Northern are extending branch lines

CHAPTER VI. - ( Continued.- )
Merriam tapped his riding Doot with
the whip he had kept in his hand.
"Yes ; the war's . over , " he sa'id , "our
war. There's been another since , but
it's preposterous to call that Spanish
dress-parade and target practice war. "
The two men went out together , and
Major Congrieve twitted Merriam
about the thoroughbred's pedigree.
"I'll see you again before you go.
Luncheon to-morrow at the Tippeca-
noe Club ? That is well. Good-morn-
ing ! "
As Merriam : rode out toward the
street , Captain Pollock came from one
of the storehouses and walked briskly
across the grounds in the direction of
the office. A curve in the path brought
him face to face with Rodney Merriam : ,
who saluted him with his right hand.
"Good-morning . : \ ! " and
the young : officer lifted his hat.
Captain Pollock's eyes followed the
houseman to the gate.
"I don't know who you are , 1Ir.Ier -
riam. or what you do , " he reflected , ,
"but the sight of that horse makes me
homesick. "
"He's a nice little fellow , " Merriam
was saying to himself , as he passed
the gate and turned toward the city.
"He's a nice little fellow ; and so was
his father ! "
As the thoroughbred bore him rap
idly back to town , Rfldney Merriam
several times repeated to himself ab-
stractedly : "He's a' nice little follow ! "
CHAPTER VII.
It is no longer so very laudable for
a young : man to pay his way through
college ; and Morris Leighton had" done I
this easily and without caring to be '
praised or martyrized for doing so. He
had enjoyed his college days ; he had
been popular with town and gown ; and
he had managed to got his share of
undergraduate fun while leading his
classes. He . had helped inthe , college
library ; he had twisted the iron letter-
press on the president's correspond-
ence late into the night ; he had copied
briefs for a lawyer after hours ; but he
had pitched for the nine and hustled
for his "frat , " and ; he had led class
rushes with ardor and success.
He had now been for several years
in the offices of Knight , Kittredge &
Carr Mariona , only an hour's ride ,
from Tippecanoe ; and he still kept in
touch with the college. Michael Carr
fully appreciated a young man who
took the law seriously and who could
sit down in a court room on call morn-
ings , when need be , and turn off a de-
murrer without paraphrasing it from a
text-book.
Mrs. Carr , too , found Morris Leigh-
ton useful , and she liked him , because
he always responded unquestioningly
to any summons to fill up a blank at
her table. Young men were at a pre-
mium in SMariona , as in most other
places , and it was something to have
one of the species , of an accommodat-
ing turn'and very presentable , within
telephone range. It was through Mrs.
Carr that Leighton came to be well
known Mariona ; she told her friends
to ask him to call , and there were now
many homes besides hers that he vis
ited.
ited.An
An errand to a law firm in one of
the fashionable new buildings that had
lately raised the Mariona sky-line led
him one afternoon past the office of his
college classmate , Jack Balcomb. "J.
Arthur Balcomb" was the inscription
on the door. Leighton had seen little
of Balcomb for a year or more , and
his friend's .name on the ground-glass
door arrested his eye. .
Two girls were busily employed at
typewriters in the anteroom , and one
of. them extended a blank card to 1forI I
ris and asked him for his name. The
girl disappeared into the inner room :
and came back instantly followed by
Balcomb , who seized Morris' hand ,
dragged him in and closed the door.
"Well , old man ! " Balcomb shouted.
"I'm glad to see you. It's downright
pleasant to have a fellow come in oc-
casionally and feel no temptation to
take : his watch. "
Morris cast his eyes over the room ,
which was handsomely furnished
There was a good rug on the floor and
the desk and table were of lieavy oak ;
an engraving of Thomas Jefferson
hung over Balcomb's desk and 'on the
opposite side of the room was a table
covered with financial reference books.
"What is your game just now , Jack
if it isn't impertinent ? It's hard to
keep track of you. I remember very
well that you started in to learn the
wholesale drug business , " said Morris.
"Oh , tush ! don't , refer to that as
thou lovest me ! That is one of the
darkest pages of my life. Those peo-
ple down there in South High street
thought I w4t.13 . a jay , and they sent me
out to help the shipping clerk.
, Wouldn't that jan you ! Overalls-and
a hand truclI : couldn't get out of
that fast enough. Then , you know , I
went to Chicago and spent a year : in a
broker's office , and I guess J , learned a
few up there. Oh , rather ! They sent
me into the country t'o sell mining
stofck : and I made a record. They kept
the printing presses going overtime to
keep me'supplied. Say , they got afraid
of me ; I was toO' ' good ! "
"What's your line now ? Real estate ,
mortgages , lending money to the door ?
How do you classify yourself ? "
"You do me a cruel wrong , Morris ,
a cruel wrong. You read my sign on
the outer wall ? Well , that's a bluff.
There's nothing in real estate. And
the loan business has all gone to the
bad-people are too rich ; farmers are
rolling in real money and have it to
lend. There was nothing for little Wil
lie in petty brokerages. I'm scheming
-promoting-and I take my slice off
of everything that passes. "
"That certainly sounds well. You've
learned fast. You had an , ambition to
be a poet when you were in college. I
think I still have a few pounds of
.
your : verses in my trapsf somewhere. "
"And then , vou remember , " Balcomb
went on , in enjoyment of his own rem-
, . . . .

whiie. But I guess what I learned
wouldn't have embarrassed Chancellor
Kent. I really had a client once. I
didn't see a chance of : - getting one any
other way , so I hired him. He was a
' coon. I employed him for two dollars
to go to the Grand Opera House and
buy a seat in the orchestra when Sir
Henry Irving was giving "The Mer
chant of Venice. " He went to sleep
and snored and they threw him out
with rude , insolent , and angry hands
after the second act ; and I brought
suit against the management for dam-
ages , basing my claim on the idea that
they had spurned my dusky brother
on account of his race , color and pre
vious condition of serviture. The last
clause was a joke. He had never
done a'ny work in his life , except for
the State. My client got loaded on gin
about the time the case came up on de
murrer and gave the snap away , and
'
I tlropped out of the practice to avoid
being disbarred. So Here I am ; and
I'm glad I shook the law. I'd got tired
of eating coffee and rolls at the Berlin
bakery three times a' day. .
One of the typewriter operators en-
tered with a brisk air of business and
handed a telegram to Balcomb , who
tore it open nonchalently. As he read
it , he tossed the crumpled envelope
over his shoulder in an absentminded .
way. Then , to the girl , who waited
with note-book and pencil in hand.
"Never mind ; 'don't wait. I'll dictate
the answer later. How did it work ? "
he asked , turning to Leighton , who had
been looking over the books : on the ta-
ble.
"How did what work ? "
"The fake. It was a fake telegram.
That girl's trained to bring in a mes-
sage ) every time I have a caller. If the
caller stays thirty minutes , it's two
messages-in other words , I'm on a
fifteen-minute schedule. I tip a boy
in the telegraph office to keep me sup-
plied with blanks. It's a great scheme.
There's nothing like a telegram to
create the impression that your office
is a seething caldron of business. "
"You have passed the poetry stage ,
beyond a doubt. But I should think
the strain of keeping all this going
would be wearing on your sensitive
poetical nature. And it must cost
something. "
"It does , but Carr keeps : a whole
corps of rascals to spread apple-but-
ter on the Legislature corn-bread. "
"You'd better speak to him about it.
He'd probably tell Mrs. Carr to ask
you to dinner right away. "
"Oh , that will come in time. I don't
expect to do everything at once. Yoa
may see me up there some time ; and
when you do , don't shy off like a colt ]
at the choo-choos. By the way , I'd
like to be one of the bright particular
stars of the Dramatic Club if you can
fix it. You remember that amateur
theatricals are rather in my line. "
He looked at his watch and gave
the stem-key a few turns before re-
turning it to his pocket.
"You'll have to excuse me , old man ,
I've got a date with Adams. He's a
right decent chap when you know how
to handle him. I want to get them to
finance a big apartment house scheme.
I've got an idea for a flat that will
make the town sit up and' gasp. "
"Don't linger on my account , Jack.
I only stopped in to see whather you '
kept ] : your good spirits. I feel as though
I'd had a shower bath. Come along. "
Several men were waiting to ' see Bal-
comb in the outer office and he shook
hands with all of them and begged
them to come again : , taking care to
mention that he had been called to the
Central States Trust Company and had
to hurry away. .
He called peremptorily to the pass-
ing elevatsr-car ta wait and as he
and Leighton squeezed into it , he con-
tinued his half of an imaginary con-
- ' that ' audible
versation in a tone was
to every passenger.
"I could have had : : those bonds , if
I had wanted them ; but I knew there
was a cloud on them-the county was
already over its legal limit. I guess
th'ose St. Louis fellows will be sorry
they were so enterprising - here we
are ! "
And then in a lewer tone to Leigh-
ton : "That was for old man Damer-
on's benefit. Did you see him jammed
back in the corner of the car ? Queer I
old party and as tight as a drum.
When I can work off some assessable _
and non-interest bearing bonds on him , I
it'll be easy to sell Uncle Sam's Treas
ury : a gold brick. They say the old
man has a daughter who is finer thin '
gold ; yea , than much fine gold. I'm
going to look her up , if I ever get time.
You'd better I come over soon and pick
out an office. So long ! "
Leighton walked back to his office in
good humor and better contented with
his own lot.

Carr knows that all this woman's suf-
frage business is so much Thomas Rot.

just has to be president of things , and
she's an ornament in the community. "

I Carr had discovered her tenor without
his help. He ; and Balcomb were stand-
ing in the Carr library , where the last
undress rehearsal of "Deceivers . Ever"
was about to begin. Leighton , who
\yas'stage manager , also 'sang in the
chorus , which appeared in one act as
foresters and in the oFher as soldiers.
Mrs. Carr always had a reason for ev
erything she did. Her reason for in-
sisting that the Dramatic Club , of
which she was president , should give
a comic opera was thoroughly ade-
quate , for at this time she was expl it- I
ing a young niusician who had lately
appeared Mariona , and who was not ,
let it be remembered , a mere instructor
in vocal music , but a composer as well.
He was a very agreeable young man ,
who wished to build up a permanent
orchestra in Mariona , and Mrs. Carr
was backing this project with her ac-
customed enthusiasm. Nothing could
'help matters forward so well as a so-
cial success for Max Schmidt. He had
written an opera , which many mana . < .
gers had declined for the reason that
the music was too good and the book
too bad.
"Deceivers Ever" was the name of
the work , and Mrs. Carr was preparing
to produce an abridged version of it on
' ' ' . The
the night before Thanksgiving.
scene was set in Germany , and there
were six- men-the gay deceivers - all
of them officers in the arm ' . The chief
girl character was the daughter of a
new commandant of a post , but at a
ball given in his honor she changed
places with her maid , and no end of
confusion resulted. Mrs. Carr had
urged Zelda to take the principal role ,
and Zelda had consented , with the un
derstanding that Olive Merriam was to
be elected a member of the club and
given a part in the opera.
While Leighton and Balcomb stood
talking in the library , Herr Schmidt ,
in the drawing-room , lectured the rest
of the company in his difficult English.
He now fell upon the piano with a
crash and nodded to Zelda , who began
one of her solos. When this had been
sung to his satisfaction , the director
called for Olive and Captain Pollock.
Pollock was greatly liked by the
people he had begun to know in Mario-
na. The men about the Tippecanoe
Club had the reputation of scrutiniz-
ing newcomers a little superciliously ,
in the way of old members of a small
club , who resent the appearance of
strangers at the lounging-room fire
side. But Pollock fitted/into / places as
though he had always been used to
them. He told a good story or he
sang a song well , when called on to
do something at the grill-room Satur
day nights. Mrs. Carr had given him
one of the best parts in the opera.
The young officer and Olive carried
off with great animation a dialogue in
song into which Herr Schmidt had
been able to get some real humor.
"You haven't told me how much you
like ' my cousin , " said Zelda to Leigh-
ton , when he sat down by her in an
interval of parley between the director
and Mrs. Carr. "I expect something
nice. "
"Nothing could be easier. She's a
great hit ! She's a discovery ! She's
an ornament'to society ! "
"Humph ! . That sounds liTte ' sample
sentences from a : copy-book. A man
with a reputation as an orator to sus-
tain ought : to be able to do better than
that. "
"Not having sucii : a reputation =
"Not even thinking ; one has- "
"Oh , I'm conceited , am I ? "
"I hadn't thought of it before , but
no doubt it's ! ' ! true , " said Zelda , looking
across the room to where Jaci Bal-
comb was talking with : his usual vi-
vacity to a girl in tfte chorus whom
he had never met before. He waa per-
fectly at ease , as though leaning
against grand pianos in handsome
drawing-rooms and talking to pretty
girls had always been- his mission in

Morris did not follow Zelda's eyes ;
he was watching her face gravely. He
haa tried in many waya to please her ,
but she maintained an attitude toward
him that was annoying , . to say the
least. :

BATHING TROUBLES IN JA PtlN.

The bath in Japanese inns was often
something of a difficulty says writer
itt , Worldwide. . Once we were in-
vited : to bathe in the kitchen , where
the steaming bathtub stood , amidst a
little group of men , who had gathered
in the room in the evening to gossip
and smoke. : Often the bathshed had

infrequently a glass one. Much as the
country folk of Japan stare at foreign
ers , they do not , however , take ad ,
Tantage of these defenseless- bath-
al
rooms , so that the anticipation Tvas
ways worse than the event.
Often at the busier inns , twti people
have to bathe together. I have often
been invited to share the bathroom
with a Japanese lady guest. To avoid
this awkward necessity , Zand I
usually went to the bathroom together ,
and it was on these' occasions that our
little dog proved himself so useful.
It is impossible ta take anything but

dressing room attached to the bath-

rooms of the country inns ,

room itself is wet everywhere

Japanese guests divest themselves of
their garments outside the door. So
we generally tied our moneybag round
the dog's neck. He was a most fero-
cious little watchdog and never al-

absence without a noisy protest. Had
we left him loose he would not have
permitted anyone to enter without get.

WHEN THE WEATHER IS WARM
Jellied Chicken an Ideal Dish Either
.
"
for Luncheon or Dinner - How
to , Prepare It.
, -
After dressing a young roasting
chicken , cut it in joints as for fricas-
seeing , put it in a deep saucepan over
the fire and nearly cover the chicken
with cold water ; add a level teaspoon-
ful of salt , a half dozen pepper corns ,
a blade of mace , two sprigs of pars-
ley , two stalks of celery , a half of a
lemon , a large white - , onion cut in
slices ; cover the sauce pan closely
and as soon as the scum rises to the
surface remove it with a skimmer ;
then let the chicken cook : gently till
the bones may be easily removed. A
quart of broth should be left when the
chicken is done. With a skimmer re
move the chicken from the saucepan ,
then strain the broth and return it to
the saucepan , adding two tablespoon-
fuls of gelatin dissolved in half a pint
of water , and let it simmer for about
ten minutes. In the meantime re
move the bones from the chicken , and
cut it in small slices. Line a bowl or
oval earthen , dish with alternate slices
of hard-boiled eggs and slices of lem-
on ; stir the pieces of chicken through
the broth , stand the' saucepan. . in a
cool ] place , and when the mixture be-
gins to stiffen pour carefully into ther
mold , distributing the bits of chicken
evenly through the broth. Let the
mold stand in a cool place for a day ,
when the whole will be well . jellied ;
then turn it out on a platter and orna
ment it with sprigs of parsley. When
already for use cut the jellied chick-
en in thin slices and serve on a plate
with celery mayonnaise.
MAKES A SPLENDID PRESERVE
For Those Fond of the Quince There
Is No Better Fruit That Can
Be Put Up.
No fruit makes more delicious or
richer preserves than quince. Choose
fine fruit , as it will prove the most
economical in the end , even though
higher in price. Wash and dry and
pare carefully , cut into quarters and
remove the cores. Place the fruit in
the preserving kettle with just enough
water to create steam , and arrange
the parings over the top. Cover the
kettle : , let heat slowly and stew very
gently until tender. Carefully remove
all the parings from the surface-then
take the fruit out with a skimmer ,
draining as thoroughly as possible ,
and spread out on large dishes. Strain
the liquor through a cheese cloth bag ,
then return to the kettle , adding gran-
ulated sugar , measure for measure.
Stir untIl the sugar is dissolved only ,
and let the syrup boil for ten minutes ,
skimming repeatedly. Place the
quinces in the boiling syrup and : sim
mer gently until they become clear
and take a rich color-probably 20
minutes. Lift the fruit out with a
perforated spoon and pack in jars.
When the syrup is partially cool fill :
* o the brim and seal air tight.
Cherry Dumplings.
These made like apple dumplings
and served with a sauce made of the
juice of the fruit are delicious. An
old-time method is to make a thick
batter , usfng two cupfuls of flour , two
eggs , two teaspoonfuls butter , one ta-
blespoonful sugar , two teaspoonfuls
baking. powder sifted , with flour , dne
cupful water and one cupful stoned
cherries. Drop the mixture by table-
spoonfuls into boiling salted water
( and but a few at a time , as the water
must not stop boIling ) . Cover closely
and cook 12 minutes without uncover-
ing. Take from the water and serve
at once on hot plates. To make the
