The population will be coi siderably over 8,000,000. Thousant of miles of railway lines have bee construction since the last census wa taken ten years ago. This constru Uon was made necessary by the opei ing up of the new agricultural di 'trlcts In Western Canada , in whic ithere have been pouring year afte year an increasing number of settler mntll the present year will witnes settlement of over 300,000 , or a trif less than one-third of the immigratic to the United States during the sane period with its 92,000,000 of popul tlon. Even with these hundreds < thousands of newcomers , the grei najority of whom go upon the Ian there Is still available room Tor hu dreds of thousands additional. Tl -census figures will therefore show /great a vast increase' in the nur her of farms under occupation , as we .as In the output of the farms. Whe the figures of the splendid immlgr tlon are added to the natural increas the total will surprise even the mo : optimistic. To the excellent growt that the western portion of Canac -Will show may largely be attribute the commercial and industrial growl of the eastern portion of Canada , A Canada Is being upbuilded , and in th transformation there is taking pa the people from many countries , bi only from those countries that pr duce the strong and vigorous. some evidence of the growth of tl western portion of Canada , in agrict ; tural Industry , it is instructive 1 2 > oint out that over 100,000 horn steads of 160 acres each have be transferred to actual settlers in tit past two years.

THE LITTLE BROWN JUG KILDARE By' MEREDITH NICHOLSON Illustrations By BAY WALTERS Copyright 1908 by The Bobbs-Mcrrill Company. 9 SYNOPSIS. Thomas Ardmore , bored millionaire and Henry Maine Grlswold , professor ii the University of Virginia , take train out of Atlanta. Grlswold to his collegt Ardmore In pursuit of a girl who hai winked at him. Mistaken "for Gov. Os borne of South Carolina , Griswold's lif IB threatened. ' ' He goes to Columbia t warn the governor and meets Barbar ; Osborne. Ardmore learns that his wink Ing lady is the daughter of Gov. Danger field of North Carolina. He follows he to Raleigh , and on the way is given : brown jug at Kildare. ITI Raleigh he dls covers that the jug bears a messag threatening Dangerfield unless Apple weight , a criminal , is allowed to go free Ardmore becomes allied with Jerry Dan gerfleld in running the affairs of the stat in the absence of the governor. J scathing telegram issent to Gov. Oa borne. t CHAPTERVI. Mr. Griswold Forsakes the Academii Life. Miss Osborne had asked Griswoli to await the outcome of the day , and finding himself thus possessed of ! vacation , he indulged his antiquariai instincts by exploring Columbia. Thi late afternoon found him in the love ly cathedral churchyard , where ai aged negro , tending the graves of ai illustrious family , leaned upon hi : spade and recited the achievement and virtues of the dead. As the shadows lengthened , Gris weld walked back to the hotel , when he ate supper , then , calling for i horse , he rode through the streets ii a mood of more complete alienatioi than he had ever experienced in ; foreign country ; yet the very scent of the summer night , stealing out fron old gardens , the voices that reachei him from open doorways , spoke o home. As he reached the outskirts of towi and rode on toward the governor' ! mansion , his mood changed , and h < laughed softly , for he remembere < Ardmore , and Ardmore was beyoni question the most amusing person h < knew. It was unfortunate , he genei ' ously reflected , that Ardmore , rathe than himself , had not been plungei into this present undertaking , whicl was much more in Ardmore's lim that hte own. There would , however be a great satisfaction in'telling Ard more of his unexpected Visit to Cc lumbia , in exchange for' his friend' ; report of his pursuit of the winkini eye. He only regretted that in th < nature ofthings Columbia.is a mod era city , a seat , of cbjrinierce as wel as of government , a place" where ban ! clearings are seriously computed , am where the jaunty adventurer witl sword and ruffles is quite likely tt run afoul of the police. Yet his owi Imagination was far more fertile-thai Ardmore's , and he would have ballet a troop of mail-clad men as Joyfull ] as his. friend had he met them clank Ing in the highway. Thus , modern as we think ourselves , the least venture some among us dreams that some da : some turn of a street corner wil bring him face to face with what w < please to call our fate ; and this is th < manifestation of our last drop o ; medieval blood. The grimmest seek er after reality looks out of the cor ner of his eye for the flutter of white handkerchief from the iviec tower he affects to ignore ; and , ii spite of himself , he is buoyed by tht hope that some day a horn will sounc for him over be nearest hill. Miss OifcOFne met him at the veran ft Steps. Indoors a mandolin anc piano struck up the merry chords ol "The Eutaw Girl. " "My young sisters have company We'll sit here , if you don't mind. " She led the way to a quiet corner and after they were seated she was silent a moment , while the light from the windows showed clearly that hei perplexity of the morning was not yel at an end. He felt that she was seri ously anxious and troubled , and he wished to hearten her if he could The soft dusk oil the faintly lighted corner folded her in. He heard whis pered in his heart a man's first word of'the woman he is destined to love , in which he sets her apart ; above and beyond -all > other womenkind she is different ; she is not like other wom en ! "It is nearly nine , " she said , her voice thrilling through him. "My fa ther should have Jbeen here an hour ago. We have heard nothing from him. The newspapers have telephoned repeatedly to know his whereabouts. I have put them off by intimating that he is away on important public busi ness , and that his purpose might be defeated if his exact whereabouts were known. " "I have no doubt in the world that the explanation you gave the newspa pers * is the truth of'the matter : Your father must be absent a great deal- it is part of a governor's business to keep in motion. But we may as well face the fact that his absenca Just now is most embarrassing. This Ap- pleweight matter has reached a crisis , and a failure to handle it properly may injure your father's future as a public man. If you will pardon me , I would suggest that there must be some ! . .onewhom you , can take into your confidence some friend , some one in your lather's , administration that you can rely .on ? " "Yes ; father has many friends ; but I cannot consider acknowledging to any one that father has disappeared when such a matter as this Apple- weight case is an issue through the state. No ; I have thought of every one this afternoon. It would be a painful thing for his best friends to know what is what seems to be the truth. " Her voice wavered a little , but she was brave , and he was * aware that she straightened herself in her chair , and , when wayward gleams of light fell upon her face , that her lips were set resolutely. "You saw the attorney general this morning , " she went on. "As you sug gested , he would naturally be the one to whom I should turn , but I cannot do it. I there is a reason" and she faltered a moment "there are sea sons why I cannot appeal to Mr. Bos- worth at this time. " She shrugged her shoulders as though throwing off a disagreeable topic , and he saw that there was nothing more to be said on this point. His heart-beats realized - quickened as he ized that she was appealing to him ; that , though he was only the most casual acquaintance , she trusted him. As he pondered tor a moment , a messenger rode into the grounds , , and Miss Osborne slipped away and met the boy at the steps. She came back and opened a telegram , reading the message at one of the vandows. An indignant exclamation escaped her , and she crumpled the paper in her hand. "The Impudence of it ! " she ex claimed. He had risen , and she now turned to him with anger and scorn deepening her beautiful color.Her breath came quickly ; her head was lifted imperiously ; her lips quivered slightly as she spoke. "This is from Gov. Dangerfield. Can you imagine a man of any character or decency sending such a message to the governor of another state ? " She watched him as he read : Raleigh , N. C. The Honorable Charles Osborne , Governor 'of South Carolina , Columbia , S. C. : Have written by to-night's mail in Ap- pleweight matter. Your vacillating course not understood. WILLIAM DANGERFIELD , Governor of North Carolina. "What do you think of that ? " she demanded. "I think it's impertinent , to say the least , " he replied guardedly. "Impertinent ? " It's the most con temptible , outrageous thing I ever heard of in my life ! Gov. Dangerfield has dilly-dallied with that case for two years. His administration has been marked from the beginning by the worst kind of incompetence. Why , this man Appleweight and his gang of outlaws only come into South Carolina lina now and then to hide and steal , "What Are Our Intentions ? " but they commit most of their crime ; in North Carolina , and they always have. Talk about a vacillating course : Father has never taken steps to ar rest those men out of sheer regard fo : Gov. Dangerfield ; he thought Nortl Carolina had some pride , and that hei governor would prefer to take car ( of his own criminals. What do yoi suppose Appleweight is indicted foi in this state ? For stealing one ban one single ham from a farmer ii Mingo county , and he's killed half dozen men in North Carolina. " She paced the corner of the ver anda angrily , while Griswold gropec for a solution of the problem. The telegram from Raleigh was certainlj lacking in diplomatic suavity. It was patent that if the , governor of Nortl Carolina was not 'tremendouslj aroused , he was playing a great gam of bluff ; and on either hypothesis prompt response must be made to his telegram. "I must answer this at once. He must not think we are . so v stupid ir Columbia that we don't know wher we're insulted. We can-go througl the side door to father's study anc write the message there , " and she lee the way. She found a blank and wrote rapid ly , without asking suggestions , witl this result : The Honorable William Dangerfleld , Raleigh , N. C. : Tour extremely diverting telegram ir Appleweight case received and filed. CHARLES OSBORNE , Governor of South Carolina. She met Griswold's obvious disap pointment with prompt explanation. "You see , the governor of Soutt Carolina cannot stoop to an exchange of billingsgate with an underbred per son like that a big , solemn , conceited creature in a Ion ? frock-coat shoestring necktie , who boasts of bi longing to the common 'peo-pull. * H doesn't have to tell anybody tha when it's plain as daylight. The wa to answer him is not to answer a all. " "Excellent. It's bound to , irritat < and It leaves him in the dark as t our I mean Gov. Osbome's inter tions. And those intentions " During this by-play he had reache a decision as to what should be don ( and he was prepared to answer whe she asked , with an employment of th pronoun that pleasantly emphasize their relationship : "What are our intentions ? " "We are going to catch Apple weight , that's the first thing and ui til we get him we're going to kee our own counsel. Let me have a tele graph blank and I will try my ban at being governor. " He sat down i : the governor's chair , asked the nam of the county seat of Mingo and wrot without erasure or hesitation thi message : To the Sheriff of Mingo County , Turner Court House , S. C. : Make every possible effort to captur Appleweight and any of his gang wh are abroad in your county. Swear in a" the deputies you need , and if frlendll ness of citizens to outlaws makes thi impossible wire me Immediately , and will send militia. Any delay on you part will be visited with severest penal ties. Answer immediately by telegraph. CHARLES OSBORNE , Governor of South Carolina. "That's quite within the law , " sail Griswold , handing Barbara the met sage ; "and we might as well put th thing through at a gallop. I'll get th telegraph company to hold open th line to Turner Court House until th sheriff answers. " As Barbara read the message h saw her pleasure in the quick corr pression of her lips , the glow in he cheeks , and then the bright glint o her bronze-brown eyes as she fir ished. "There must be no mistake , no fail ure , " she said quietly. "We are not going to fail ; we ar going to carry this through ! Withi ] three days we'll have Appleweight ii a North Carolina jail or a flying fugi tive in Gov. Danger-field's territory And now these telegrams must b sent. It might be better for you to gt to the telegraph office with me. Yoi must remember that I am a pilgrin and a stranger and they might ques tion my filing official messages. " ' "That is perfectly true. I will g < into town with you. " "And if there's an official coach tha everybody knpws as yours , it woul < allay suspicions to have it , " and whil < he was still speaking she vanished t < order the carriage. In five minutes it was at the sid < door , and Griswold and Barbara , for tified by the presence of Phoebe , lef the governor's study. "If they don't know me , everybody in South Carolina knows Phoebe , ' said Barbara. "A capital idea. I can see by hei eye that she's built for conspiracy. " Griswold's horse was to be returnee to town by a boy ; and when this hae been arranged the three entered the carriage. "The telegraph office , Tom ; anc hurry. " CHAPTER VII. An Affair at the Statehouse. Barbara filed the messages hersel with the manager of the telegrapl company , who lifted the green shade from his eyes and smiled upon her. "We'll rush them , Miss Osborne Shall I telephone the answers if thej come to-night ? No ; your father likes his telegrams delivered , I remember. ' "I will call for them , " said Gris wold. "Gov. Osborne was only ai home a few hours this evening and he left me ; In charge of these matters. " The manager's face expressed sur prise. "Oh ! I didn't know the governor was at home , " he remarked , as he finished counting the words and charg ing them against the state's account "I will send them myself , and ask the operators at the other end to look lively about the answers. You are Mr. " "This is Maj. Griswold , " said Bar bara , conferring the title with a vague feeling that it strengthened her cause. "Major , " repeated the manager , and he nodded to Griswold with an air that Implied his familiarity with of ficial secrets. "You will call ? In a couple ot hours , major. " ( TO BE CONTINUED. ) NOTABLE CEREMONY IN SIAM Presentation by the King of Yellov Robes to Priests of Bud- hist Temples. Once a year , says a writer In the Wide World Magazine , all the Budd hist temples in Siam are visited by the king , or his deputies , bearing the Phra Kathin ( yellow robes ) , in con formity with 'an ancient custom by which the priests were made to seek their apparel for the ensuing year. During the lifetime of Buddha , monks and priests were sent out to beg for old , cast-off garments , which were afterward dyed yellow and patched together to form the required robes. This ancient mendicant custom gradu- aally gave place to the present one oi making the garments from new cloth of a bright canary yellow , provided by joint contributions of king , princes , nobles 'and commoners. When the king goes in the royal throne barge to present the robes in person he does so with great pomp and cere mony. The priestly garments , folded In bundles , are carried to the door 3f the temple to await the appearance of his majesty and .his suite. The king , on arriving , takes a priestly robe and places it on a decorated tltar. The chief priest then lays hia hands on the garment and chants an acknowledgment.
