(Continued.)
They went upstairs, in the dusk, by a-stecp staircase, closed at the head} and foot by doors. They emerged} out of the darkness of the staircase! into an upper cerridosm from the! windows of which they saw only the mist. The high wall surrounding the farm steading shut out nearly all/ the world. But it was lighter in tlie corridor, and the rainy sky seemed to be breaking up into a stormy af- terglow.
Upstairs there were four rooms; three small and bare, and with just enough room for a narrow iron bed; and a washstand. A shelf, jutting} out from the walls, was evidently ig tended to. be used as a dressing table, since above each hung a square mir- ror in a bamboo framc. Pegs along the walls were all there was in the way of wardrobe accommodation.
Kate Bartlett looked into each of the little rooms, closed the door, and went on. Opening the fourth door, she paused.
“This will be for you and me, my lamb,” she said, and stood back to allow Dolly to pass.
The fourth room had two windows —one looking out of the gable end of the house, overlooking a garden, full of weeds with a few giant cab- bage stalks among them; the other overlooking the courtyard below. The luxury of the room after the others was startling. There was a square four-poster bed of satin. wood and gilding. It was draped with curtains of rose-colored damask. There was a gilt couch covered with the same damask, and chairs gilt and rose-col- ored stood about on a rose-colored carpet. .
The bed stood in gn alcove; and the room was furnished very much as a sitting room; mirrors one the wall with candle brackets
of the First Empire, a spindle-shank- ed desk, by the wall; a minute book- ease in the corner showed the backs of gaily-bound books,
Afi amazing room to find in place of the sort; but Mrs, Bartlet did-not seem surprised. She went across the room and opened a door ov the opposite side, It led into a dressing room lit only by a_ half- moon window, high up. There were the arrangements for washing; the dressing table, with its top of rouge marble and its delicate china. A few feminine trifles were on the dressing table—a scent bottle, a cut glass powder box. On the floor lay a scrap of blue ribbon, such ribbon as tsight have tied a chocolate box.
She looked about and her face was terrible, as though she saw something not to be spoken of, She picked up the blue ribbon between her fingers aud thumb, holding it away from her, as though it were poisonous.
“Tt smells of musk,” she said. “The whole place smells of it. It is a aa smel}l.”’
“Yes” said Dolly, in a low voice, “it makes me feel faint. The win- dows are all shut.”
Kate Bartlett pushed at a window, She could not move it; it was nail- ed down. An attempt to open it at the top was more successful, It came down a few inches, letting the wet air into the room,
“Everything is damp, I daresay,” she said, going over and beginning to strin the bed, which was covered with a rose silk eiderdown. “I’H light a fire. J see there is one set in the grate; but goodness how long it is there, and the sticks mouldy with damp. Stay where you are, my pet child, while I run down and look for some kindiing wood. Yet | would- n't sav there wasn’t someone to look after this and air it, else it would be worse than it is.”
She went downstairs, found the living room’empty, but the fire al- ready lit and-the kettle on. She took a handful of the kindling wood which lay inside the fender, and a hox of matches, and returned to the bedroom where Dolly was sitting on the sofa, making no attempt to take off her out door things.
“TI don't like this place, Kate,” she said,, with a shiver. “I Keep looking ever my shoulder thinking there is someone there. The air is very cold, is it not? And suffocating as well.”
“T'll have the fire lit up in a few ‘minutes. Be patient 2 little, my honey, and you'll see how your old

Kate will drive the @ good warm fire. power over ts, God.”
She was down on her knees, blow- ing the kindling wood to a, flame, making a bellows of her breath. The fuel in the grate was damp, and it took some time and pains to make it catch, but at last it caught. A flame sprang up, sending its golden tongue into the grey and shadowy room, driving a whole troop of quecr mocking sprites before it.
Dolly came to her side.
“Oh Kate,” she said,.“why am I here? ’ What can Mr. Meyrick be thinking about us? The ‘suspense will kill him. Why did you let that man take me away to this horrible place—that horrible man? What is the meaning of it all?”
“Don’t blame me, “ny dearic,” said the woman humbly, “I followed as fast as I coujd. No harm will befall yon when I’m with you,
hosts out with hey have no for we belong to
Jand and the Squire. Sure, I didn’t know what to do. I could have cal-
\led in the police; I thought of going
to the captain on the boat; there were plenty of English people on the.strects today. My poor thoughts were all in a tangle and a trouble. I felt I must get you back quietly, my own way, so that people won't be given the chance of talking.”
“Oh,” said the -girl slowly, with a bewildered movement of her hands to her forehead, “they might think I went of my own free will! How could they, seeing what Mr. Meyrick is? No girl would want to him, would they, Kate?”
“They would not, acushla. But we won't give the bad people a chance ef talking. We'll steal back quietly as we came. I'll get a note out to Mr. Meyrick to let him know where we are. He'll come to us if we can’t get out ourselves. You're not afraid of him, surely, jewel?”
“No,, indeed,” said the girl, with sudden fervor. “I am not at all afraid of him. JI trust him too com- pletely. He would be dreadfully sor- ry for us.”
“Ah that’s right, that’s right! is a good man, and no mistake. If many men were like him earth would be a heaven for poor women, where often enough now ‘tis hell, He knows how to be good to a woman, God bless him!” :
The fire burned up brightly, while
the them to air before the fire. Afterwards she went downstairs and found tea ‘set out on the table and the kettle boiling. No sign of Cooper any- where. He must have gone in search of the things they would need.
She made the tea, brought a cup to Dolly, and coaxed her to drink it. The girl by this time looked terribly fatigued. When the bed was made she was induced to go to bed, while she protested that she wanted to es- cape now, tonight, to get to -where there were English people, and put herself under their protection. The dark was by this time in the room.
Kate Bartlett soothed her as she would a-tired child. Sure, what would they be doing this time of the night, in the mist and the darkness! ‘Tis maybe going over the cliffs they would be, Miss Dolly was to sleep and be rested before tomorrow. To- morrow she would see what would happen. The Squire was not going to be in pain longer than Kate could help.
Having ascertained that Dolly slept, she went out of the reom, tak- ing the tray with her. The key was in the door, She locked the door and put the key in her pocket. She went downstairs, The lamp had been lit, but it spluttered and show- ed signs of going out. She found a couple of candles in the sconces be- fore a gilt mirror, lit them, and the room was faintly, illuminated. She found another candle in a china can- diestick, and by “its help she explored the kitchen and the scullery, which last opened into a shabby, over-

But—after all, she knew what it was had withheld her—not the reason she had given to™Dolly Fgerton, though that, she persuaded herself, had counted with her in taking the course she had taken,

A band of cloud bars the horizon to the sinking sun. It hangs a flat- tened arch imiminent over the’ prairie Yet sq soft and luminous are. its gray-blue folds, so fantastic are the shapes it takes and holds and loses, that the imagination is more bent on the weavings of its shuttle than on the glory that lies dimmed but just behind. ~ i

One Reason Why .Prices Are Ad- vanced on the Home Market
One of the very obvious reasons why the price of eggs has been in- cfeasingly high in Canada sin¢e the outbreak of war three years ago is that instead of keeping all her eggs at home, as was practically the case in 1914, Canada has been exporting large consignments of eggs to, Eng- laid, © Formerly. Great: Britain got fifty per cent, of her eggs from Rus- Sia, but that source of supply was almost completely cut off, and the void has been filled as far as possi- ble by eggs from Canada and the United States, Today Canadian eggs occupy a strong position in the Brit- ish market. The question which the Canadian trade commissioner in Liv-
asks_is whether or not

Canada’s Glory In all the trials and sufferings of the war it is a source of constant consolation and pride to the people of this country that the states of Great Britain and their soldiers. have shown such unflinching determination and valor in the struggle. We well know the bitter sacrifices which Can- ada has made, The Ypres salient and Vimy Ridge have been watered with her best blood, as with ours, In death, as through all the years of their state’s existence, her sons have been at our side. € are grate- ful to them and to ¥.—London

marketing, lower production costs, and by a natural advantage of geo- praphical situation, had brought Prices to a level that ceased to hold out special attractions to the ship- per.” ;
“The war had an immediate effect upon these supplies, the total imports dropping from 21,579,950 great hun- dreds in 1913 to 17,904,805 in 1914, 10,246,926 in 1915 and .6,606,411 in 1916. Russian eggs in particular, which had furnished over fifty per cent. of the totaL_in 1913 dropped from 11,453,277. great” “hundreds in 1913 to 6,870,827 in 1914; 3,074,156 in 1915 and 734,525 or eleven per ‘cent. of the total in 1916. This de- crease in’ supplies from the continent resulted naturally, in producing high prices and a _ strong demand for transatlantic eggs,, and the greatly increased production of Canadian eggs has enabled our shippers to take full advantage of the situation. In 1914 Canadian egg imports inio this country were 361,173 great hundreds, in 1914, 916,326 and in 1916, 1,431- 778... *-
“Considerable complaint was made of the pack of eggs sent forward in 1914, and the resulting condition in which the product reached the mar- ket. These initial disadvantages, how- ever, have been largely overcome by the shippers and at the present time Canadian eggs occupy a very satis- factory position in the eyes of — the trade. They are vory attractively
acked, clean and of the desired Cdlor, of good size and weight, and while they must necessarily rank be- low Danish and Irish fresh eggs, they are generally superior to all but the best grades of Russian eggs, es- pecially as regards size and appear- ance, They always,command a pre- mium of from one to two. shillings per case over American eggs.”
Better Things
Let it be said once for all that It fs better for both body and soul to be obliged to go hungry sometimes than to be full always; it is wholesomer to be weary frequently from hard work than to keep on a dead level of com- fort, or fo know weariness only from the spinning dance and the daily pleasure; it is cleaner to be dusty and bathed im the dust and sweat of bat- tle than to be so sheltered as not to know the meaning of a hand-to-hand conflict with a real problem or fierce temptation; it is grander to break the shaekles of exclusiveness and walk free in the dingy city of social un- popularity than to be the idol of men and women who do not count for, but rather against, the progress of the race.—Bishop Brent,

Save The Food.
Six Big Requests Made of the Amer.
ican Pgople
The United States™is takin rompt and vigorous steps hirotieple * en food:
control committee to get in with the people with a view to
ing the food conservation’ move-
touch mak-
ment one of individual appeal, -To do this the committee is entering into
a campaign of national upon the individual the
extent urging necessity. of
co-operation with the efforts the gov-
ernment is making along these lines.
To bring about concerted action
every organization member of the
chamber of commerce of the United
States, is asked—in a war bulletin
issued by the national chamber com-
inittee co-operating with the council cf national defense—to get , behind Herbert Hoover's six big requests. These are to cat one. meatless meal once a day; to eat beef, mutton or perk not more than once. a day; to economize in the use of butter; to cut the daily allowance of sugar iw tea or coffee or in other: ways; to eat more vegetables, fruit and fish and‘to urge in the home or the restaurants frequented, the neces- sity of economy.
However good may be the indi- vidual attention, the bulletin de- clares, these requests are not going to be lived up on any large scale unless men and women take concer- ted action. To assist in bringing this about every organization member of the chamber is asked to make and follow up among its members — the three requests made below of indi- vidual members and to. send the names of these committees to the national chamber committee, | of which Waddill Catchings is chair- nian. The organizations are asked to Fromote in any possible way the ac- tual continued observance- in each community of the six requests made by Mr. Hoover,
Each individual member. is requests
1. To undertake to live up to the above SIX requests and .to ask his friends and employes to do so.
2. To ask clubs and associations of which he is a. member, to appoint a committee to assist in making gecn- eral the observance of the above six requests.
3. To put into effect other wave and: means of making general in his community the gbservance of the above six requests, advising of any- thing he is able to do in this respect which might be of assistance in other, communities,
All members are asked to inforud the committee what they are doing in connection with the requests. Members will then be informed what other organizations are doing, and it is said will receive frequent suggest- ions of their guidance.
“The important problem of food conservation will not be solved with- out the concerted and continued co- operation of business men,” the bul- letin concludés. “The. national cham- ber is bringing this fact to -the at- tention of members at the request of Mr. Hooyer, and relies on them for a prompt response. Men who stay at home must help win the war. Mere is a chance for every man in the true spirit of American energy to put his individual shoulder to the wheel,”

They scorn men of science. Of letters and law,

In -Great. Britain and the States certain prices and profits are fixed by the Food Control- lor and cannot be sold for ua higher price.

Blamed On Spies
Col. Kolotkoff Declares Agents ot} Autocracy Started Counter Rev. j olutionary Campaign =
Causes of the Russfan debacle against the Germans and Austrians are’ set forth in a remarkable report by Colonel Kolotkoff to the council ot workmen and soldiers’ deputies. ihe responsibility is placed on activ- ity of ex-policemen, gendarmes and spics of Emperor Nicholas, who af- te1, being deprived of their liv Siikeod | were compulsorily sent to tlre front. |
Until the end of June, says. Col, Kolotkoff, the soldiers on the west front were in excellent; fighting trim. here was an admirably completed plan to advance which would prok- ébly have led to the re-conquest o |
Vilna: But. the police, wendrames and spies of the -autoctacy con- sciously started an anti-patriotic counter-revolutionary campaign, the first design of which was the disso- lution of the army,
Large numbers managed to get elected to regimental company com- niittees, started a propaganda against war, inviting soldiers against officers, against -the provisional government's commissaries and even itneited vio- lence. Later they secrectaly distilled vodka and on the advance dosed sol- diers therewith.
The Germans took advantage of these conditiohs and flooded the Rus- sian trenches with spices in Russian uniforms, Formerly the reinforce- raent units arriving at the front were slightly weaker in number than the rolls showed, but now the units were
sure in disguise of Germans. ‘The spies organized fraternization. Sol- diers born in the provinces ovectpicd by the enemy were allowed to visit their homes, and_ after a short ab-| sence returned to the trenches com- pictely Germanized in sentiment.
The result was that before the at- tempt to over Vilna many soal- diers refused to pamicipate in the at-
tack,

The reason most of us fall short. of success is that we do not want it enotgh.— We do not care for it suf- ficiently to pay the price.

And the young man who is promoted in business twice a the other fellow's once, is generally the

Not all of this is good agricultural land, of course, but it is apparent that fhece is plenty of good land in the west, close to the railways, wait- ing for returned soldiers.

Would Regain Control of Dye Trade
From Switzerland comes a report that a great dye cartel, or industrial combine, has been. organized Mm Ger- many, with a capital. of $250,000,000, embracing all the manufacturers of dycstuffs in the country. The pur- pose of this organization is, after the war is over, to embark upon an ‘in- dustrial war in order to regain for Germany the trade in dyestuffs which she has lost. The attempt will prob- ably fail. In Britain, in France and in the United States the war has stimulated the -production of dye- stuffs, and this industry is so closely related to the produtcion of war ma- terial that the governments of these countries are detérmined not to per- mit Germany again to sectflre a mo- nopoly in that liue,

"AY year ago we 4were thrilling to the first triumphs of our new armies. We had doubts—it can now be. con- : armies, not active niistrust, but sufficient misgivings to tinge our hopes.
“In the course of the year these new armies of ours have taken ove 70,000 prisoners, including 800 offi- cers. They have ‘captured 450 Ger- man guns, with more than,2,000 min- or pieces like machine guns and trench mortars. This is the capture, of a mighty army, an army of 10 whole German divisions as now. con stituted, with all its equipment, Thes mew armics have had against them the whole military strength of the German empire—that is to say, of every division in the German armies.
“It is these new armies which in the course of the year have taken all three ridges—namely, the’ Albert Ridge, the Vimy Ridge, and the Mes- sines Ridge—on which, from Ypres to the Somme, the Germans had drawn their lines.as being the strong- ¢st positions to hold on this front, and enthroned on which’ they over- looked all our preparations for at- tack. No fortress in history pos- sessed one tithe of the defensive strength of any one of these ridges fortified as the Germans had fortified them, and held by the flower of the German army under the strictest. or- ders to fight to the death and not yield an inch of ground.
“This is what our new armies have done in the course of the year.. Of course, they have won much ground, a hundred villages, and endless strongholds and redoubts. But geog- saphy js immaterial. The task. set them was not the winning of acres, but the breaking of the German aria- ies, which, with 40 yeays of prepar- ation, had thought themselves invin- cible and had proposed to overrun #1 Europe and-constitute themselves cictators of the world.
“Without preparation and averse from war, the peaceful peoples of the British Empire, inspired by their cause and by virtue of the stuff that is in thém, have made themselves into a power which first held at bay, then made head: against, and now is wearing down the strength of Ger- many, and of the matter in which they have done it it is impossible to speak in adequate phrases.
“Though the job be long or short the army has perfeet confidence that it is better, both man for man and as a fighting machine, than the ar- mies of Germany, and that but one end can come. It is a year with which we can be satisfied.””—Lon- don -Times.

Years of practice in the fat times of peace had taught him éx- actly what she might be expected to do under certain conditions, . when she must be bullied and when per- suaded..

One can fly from New York to Chicago, for instance, in a straight line through the air, while on the surface you have to make many twists and turns and so lose much time.

Found to Be Useless for Protection of Warships at Sea
