Stella had accomplished nothing

on foot. Naturally, with her mountain
training, she had gravitated away
from the better resident districts and
towards the slums and there it had
been that Louie Vogel had come upon
her—a weeping, very tired, very hun-
gry bit . of felnininity--and had taken
her under his protecting wing.
Why he had done it the gunman
himself could not have told. One of.
thosestreaks of goodness which are
said to exist in oven the worst of us,
must have come to the surface just
long enough to touch his heart at
sight of the forlorn little girl. At any
rate he had taken charge of her and
in his masculine way, unaccustomed
as he was to dealing with women, he
had seen that she had food and clothes
and a room at the shabby hotel and

dependent. Wealth in West-
ern Canada.
The paths of fortune in Western
Canada are many and diversified. One
pian goesin for cattle, another spe'
cializes in sheep, another grows only
grain, and still another distributes' his
eggs and indulges simultaneously in
all three. The results appear to be.
the same, and if the follower of one
line is richer than another it, is in
that superfluity of wealth beyond hu
man needs. The story that follows
might truthfully he called a sheep ro-
mance.
John T. Beninger is a large sheep
owner in Southern Alberta, and .on
his three large ranches, known as the
Coulee Ranch, King's Lake Ranch, and
Hay Lake Ranch, located southeast of
Lethbridge, he has clearly demon-
strated what can be dome by personal
application and assiduity coupled with
Alberta climate and fodder, Mr. Id'en-
inger made a most insignificant be-
ginning, the early chapters of his life
history having imich in common with
the modest commencements which.
have developed into ranching for-
tunes in the west. But sheep have a
way of increasing, and the size of the
herd, which at the present time
ranges the hills and coulees of the
three ranches_ may be estimated from
the fact that last spring it was in-
creased by the additio:i of seven
thousand lambs, and that the wool
clip harvested amounted to about
138,0.00 pounds.
The Blighty Wagon.
x3,11 sheep breeders and farmers
know that there is a tremendous mor-
tality among lambs in the first few
hours of their existence, and this
rancher's motto has been, "Save the
lambs and the sheep will take care of
themselves," Upon this policy he has
built up the herd he now owns. A
visitor to the ranches in the spring
time might be somewhat startled to
see an ambulance's mad antics as it
pursues a rough and furious way over
hill and down coulee. .4ir ambulance
in the undiluted "wild and woolly" !S'
a somewhat unusual spectacle,' but
this same "blighty wagon," as soldiers
were wont to call it, has saved the
ives of hundreds of lambs each sea -
on.
The ambulance , is mounted on a
Ford truck, and the interior is fitted
ut with ten pens, live on each side.
It rambles over the countryside at
ambing time and, picking- up the
wes with new-born lambs, journeys
ith them in the snug little pens to
re sheltering fold. Here the couples
re placed in other comfortable pens,
ie ewe fed on oats and hay, and the
mb, if found to be cold, placed be-
tiveen blanket's, Then,when the sun
nies out and the lamb has recuper•
ed a little strength, the ewe and its
oplly offspring are turned out to
aze upon the fresh green grass of
e adjacent pastures. When lambs

tub is to the rancher may be judged
