Anne de Beaupre shrine during the season of 1925. Thirty- nine countries were represented. Of the number mentioned, 145,000 came by car and the remainder by train. Seven Americans, touring the world on the Canadian Pacific liner "Empress of Scotland," welcomed the New Year from the top of the Great Pyramid in Egypt. Four young ladies and three men left their party camped on the sands of the Sahara and climbed the pyramid, "for a little excitement." Two new steamship lines have raade Halifax a port of call this year, and during the first six months of the year the increase in ship ton- nage was over one million tons. For the ten months of 1925 the increase in ship tonnage, compared with the same period last year was , over 1,500,000. Canada's exports to Soviet Russia have increased three hundred fold during the past twelve months. Trade figures available show that in the twelve months ending Octo- ber 31, Canada exported goods valued at 514,000,000 to Russia, as compared to $48,000 for the preced- ing twelve mouth. Four international eportimg evants are to be beld at Quebec in Febru- ary. There will be the snow -shoe races, in which 3,900 will take part, including: 1,000 men coreir,g,;Lamm the State of Maine; a hockey match be- tween the Sons of Ireland and the Dartmouth College team; the Hu- bert Curling Bonimeil; and the In- ternatienal Dog Sled Derby. .

From 40,000 to 50,000 Britich emi- grants will come to Canada under the new cheap passage arrange- ments made by the Canadian and British Governments and transporta- tion companies, Hundreds of in- quiries have already been received from those anxious to benefit by the new plan and among them are many from domestic servants. Twenty prairie chickens were in- terviewed in irftentreal recently and cast infinite scorn on the East. They hopped about in great excitement at meal time. The interviewer asked, "Take you a long time to pick up as good eats out West at this time of year, eh?" A chorus of shrill voices answered disdain- fully, "Tut -tut -tut." They were shipped out of the country by Do- minion Express, for contempt of the East. Prom August 1 to Decernbet 31, 1925 inclusive a total of 201,970,- 904 bushels 01 grain were marketed along Canadian Pacific western lines.

Beyoud the lawn there was a sandy beach, that shelved down to the wa- ter's edge. The Ude was coming in. In another hour it would be just right for bath- ing. The boom of surf sounded cool and refreshing. On the veranda Mrs. Tagginson peer- ed inquisitively at the tennis players. "Is that Arne' Delarme, dint girl in white bouncing around the courts?" Betty Pendell lifteti her dark eyes to Mrs. HiggInson's round, heated face. "AaelY is there," she admitted In a tone of dislike, "but sae is not bounc- ing :Mound. She flits like a -a moth." "It's all a matter of opinion, my dear," rumbled tbe older woman in deep chest tones. "Is my daughter A.delaide there, Betty?" Betty scanned the lawn with amused eyes. "No," she said wickedly, "Adelaide is sitting on the beach with Professor Hicks." Mrs. Higginson uttered a sound half- way betTeen a groan and a sob. It ended in a bysterical titter as she got up and lumbered toward the beach. "Poor Adelaide -and it's her last chance:" sighed Betty. Mavis Oakes looked pained. "Wbat made you tell on her, Betty?' she reproved, "To pay her back for laughing at Amy." "But you've a -et Adelaide into a scrape. I was hoping she would run away with the professor. He's a dear, and Adelaide is so funny and solemn and sweet! How did she ever come to have such a parente" Betty shruggea her shoulders and stretched her arms in a lazy yawn. "Suppose we go and talk to Amy," she suggested. "Perhaps we can help Adelaide and the darling old profes- sor." Maris followea her friend across the lawn. The players were leaving the courts, and Amy, followed closely by Dan. Morland, met them ingler the spreading trees. As if conjured by some magician, two other young men appeared to hover around Mavis and Betty. "Listen," said I3etty, beekoniag the five about her. "I want you all to help me. It's about Adelaide." "Adelaide Higginson, the daughter a that awful Mrs. Ingginson," explained "Oh, you mean the bony female and the old guy with the shell rimmed spec- tacles?" asked Larry Whitford. "Larry!" expostulated Alexis. "Ade- laide looks very pretty sometimes, and if her mother didn't nag so I am sure she wouldn't look eo worn.

"Professor Hicks is probably too bashful to propose an elopement, but given the opportunity I am sure he could persuade Adelaide." "You see," added Mavis, "if Mrs. 1-11aa,loson parts them now they may never meet again. The professor is a widower, and widower:A are tickle, you know." "How interesting!" muttered Larry in the ear of his ladylove, but Marie only pouted. "Let's talk about our- selvea, Mavis." "Humph!" scorned elavis. "And so," Betty wile sayieg earnest- ly-"aud so I thought we six miglit go over to Pendleton village and then tel- ephone over for Adelaide to come at once to the rectory, and another mes- sage to the professor, and when they get there you boys might suggest to him about the elopement." "Ye gods!" mit in Dan Morland. "The man is niy friend!" "Well?" defied the three girls. Dan grinned. "All right," he hastened to sey. "He may decline, or Adelaide nitea," said Amy quietly, "They may, hat they won't," retort- ed Betty wisely.

Mrs. Ifigginson was sleeping sound. ly, and Adelaide whisked n motoring cloak out of ibe wardrobe, twisted a white chiffon veil about her pale gold- en hair, and, with Mlle eyes shining like stars, she joined Betty and the two young men in the veranda. Over in the corner there was a glow- ing point ot light. Professor .111eles was smoking furiously. Perhaps he had counted on haviog Adelaide ta himself that evening. Near by were Mavis Oakes and. her cavalier, Larry. A. half hour later carne a telephone call for Larry. Ile returned from the booth in a very vexed frame of mind. "I'm called over to Pendleton." he explained. "Could you take me over in your car, professor? All the hotel ears are in use." "IVith pleasure!" cried Professor Hicks, tossing his cigar away. "Per- haps Miss Oakes would like to come too." "Thanks. I should love to." So the three drove away from the hotel, two of them trembling with ex- citement at the coming ordeal. Professor Ilicks. the innocent vic- tim of their disturbance, guided the ear with his usual cool precision. "Where do you.want to go?" he ask- ed after they had entered the quiet Pendleton streets. "The rectory," saki Larry. Professor Hicks peered at him through the darkness.

"Here he 18, old man," Larry' whispered to Dan. "Go to 310' Mavis and Larry went into the study, leav- ing Dan alorlithel alone with the pro- fessor. Those within ihe 100113 heard sounds of a dispute in the hall, murmured ex- postulations and then the deep tum- ble of Dan's personsive voice. The girls looked at each other iu dis- may. Now that Adelattle, the dear, had consented to their plan, would it not be dt'endful if the proressor refused to marry Miss Ingginson? "I wish WO bail not meddled," whis- pered Betty to Mavis. Mavis nodded and looked miserable. There was Aclelakle with a sweetly tender smile onher lips, her thinness covered by the fleecy white froek, so briclelike. And there was Professor Hicks, act- ing so -so - "Balky!" It was Leery who sup- plied the right word. Just then the two men mune into the room, the professor smiling, Dan Mariand looking bellied.

The 0nt4140 Provincial Railway It is grtaifying' to learn from The report of the commission that the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario railway closed the last fiscal yeat with an operating profit of $760,000 This amount is smaller than the oper- ating profit of 1924, but, in view .of the disturbed economic conditions from which Canada has suffered in common with other countries, this showing is fairly satisfactory. At any rate the profit was larger :hail that of any year prior to 1924. It is jut as well to recognize, however, that the railway has cost the Province of Ontario about 330,000,000, bor- rowed at an average rate of 3 1-2 per cent, Taking this interest charge of more than one million dollars into account, there was a loss to the pro- vince of about one quarter of a mil- lion dollars. - Notwithstanding this loss, no one suggests that this road should be aold to a private company.

A daring leap into VOW. 2. Tohogganinertgr 1(11 at, ain walk. 4. $M-jOringElt ffidt Olip; During the coming wintee carnival in Banff,the mornings will be vet aside to enteetain visitors, afternoons and eventngs for the events. In former winter carnivals in. Banff so many events were crowded Ono a week as to preclude visitors from taking part in the fun themselves. This year, the committee met the wishes of the visitors by extending the annual evfint to cover two weeks, from February 8 to February 17 inclusive. The most expert skiers and snow-shoers in the mountains will thas be freed from competitions to take charge of parties of visitors on pleasuro bent. They have selected five depots within a radius of two miles from Banff, so selected to allow return over a different route than the outgoing trip. Ski &Ides abound on these trips, some difficult enough for the expert ahd Others more moderate to initiate novices into this sport, the king of all wiater pastimes. Ponies will be available for ski-)orers and those wishing to partake of the run on tobeggeme or bob -sleds. A real western barbecue of steaming hot meat of wild game, bread, coffee or tea, will appease the appetites of the hikers at each of these depots. During the carnival a hike par excellence to Lake 1V1innewanka is planned. Mire a huge buffalo will be barbecued over a glowing bon -fire on the lake shore. Bill Potts, head of the Rocky Mountain Guide Asso- ciation and llrewsters Limited are bringing forty ponies from the range early in Sanuary to train them for sld- joring during the carnival. Ponies, skis and guidewill be at the disposal of those who may need them. From seven to ten dog teams will be available foc• trips ihto the mouritaihs, on the Bow River,. over the ice - locked Bow Falls or across the Verrnallot Lakes. Mountain ponies with bob -sleighs will cover the same route. reset plans call for a new World Championship dog derby from Calgary to the top -of -the -world, the Great Diyide in the heart of the Rockies, ahd back to Banff, a distance of 186 miles, 60 on the prairies the remainder in the mountains. This three day race will pass through Banff Oh the morning of the second day and finieh m • Banff at the ski -jump when these events are being run off. While waiting for the arrival of the teams visitors will witness Canada's premier ski-jumping competition on the new Banff jucn9, Many.acicnowledget this nOW jump as the most pitturesque and speetaealar in Canada. Set on the side of a mountain as it n, the jumper begins the slide far up on the tnountaih side, and seems to soar to earth through a lane of pines and spruce, The woodeh take -off carries /urn into the air sixty.feet above the heads of the spettators below. The new jump is built for leaps Ono spaee of from 40 feet to 180 feet. During the two weeks eight ladies' hotkey teams will eontend for the Alpine Club of Canada Cup emblettlatie of world's championship in this sport. Six of wei.itern Canada's best amnion.
