the extreme hospitality of her citi-

Gov�rnor and the premier down
they have been most kind.
Like the people of St. John, they
are extremely serious about poli-`
tics. They take' their polities neat,
usually, with a Government job or
an appropriation as a chaser. It is
very doubtful if the Maritime Prov-
inces have the same conception of
government as has Ontario.. For
instance, the Government is looked
on as the fount of prosperity, al-
most as the source of industry', al-
though admittedly there 'are im-
portant industries in the Provinces
that have " prospered unaided
through the energy and shrewd-
ness of the founders. The average
Ontario business man as a rule asks
just : one favor of the Government,
namely, that it well leave him
•alone. And left alone, he does not
feel like a child in the dark. Here
a certain insularity is to : be op -
served which is all the more cu-
rious, as it occurrs in a great sea-
port. Traffic keel to the left in the

The terrific storm that fell upon
the city a few hours later must
have been almost more dreadful than
the original calamity. Nor will Hal-
ifax ever forget what she owed to
the volunteers who hurried to her res-
cue. Her own citizens appear to have
been for the most part dazed and
nerve -shattered by the blowing up

had no particular duty; he was just
"an owner" like her father; but Com -
stance observed that, while the cap-
tain and the mates and the engineers
were always polite and resepctful to
her father, they asked Mr. Spearman's
idea about things in a different way
and paid real attention not mer polite
attention when he talked. He was a
desirable sort of acquisition; for he
was a friend who could come to the
house at any time, and yet he, him-
self, had done all sorts of exciting
things. He had not just gone to Har-
vard and then become an owner, as
Constance's father had; at fifteen, he
had run away from his father's farm
:back from the east shore of little Tra-
verse Bay near the northern end of
Lake Michigan. At eighteen, after
all sorts of adventures, he had become
?nate of a lumber schooner; he had
"taken to steam" shortly after that
and had been an officer upon many
kinds of ships. Then Uncle Benny had
taken him into partnership. Constance
had a most exciting example of what
he could do when the ship ran into a
big storm on Lake Superior.
Coining into Whitefish Bay, a barge
had blunderded against the vessel; a
seam started, and water came in so
fast that it gained on the pumps. Ins-
tantly, Mr. Spearman, not the cap-
tain, was in command and, from the
There is also an English flavor to ti way he steered the ship to protect
to the seam and from the scheme he de-
vised tb stay the inrush of water, the
pimps began to gain at once, and the
ship went into Duluth safe and dry.
Constance liked that in a man of the
sort whom people. knew. For, as the
most active partner ---though not the

and Spearman, almost every one' in
the city knew hien. He had his bach-

mansion -`was coming to be considered
a characteristic "old" Chicago home.
But little over forty, and appearing
even younger, Spearman was distinct-
ly of a' new generation; and Constance
Sherrill was only one of many of the
younger girls who found in Henry
Spearman refreshing relief from the
youths who were the sons of men
but who could never become men
themselves. They were nice, earnest
boys with all sorts of serious Mandan
ideas of establishing social justice in
the plants.. which their fathers had
built; and carrying the highest mo-
tives into the city of national politics.
But the industrial reformers, Con-
stance was quite certain, never could
have built up the industries with which
they now, so superiorly, were finding
fault; the political purifiers either
failed of election or, if elected, seem-
ed to leave politics pretty much as
.they had been before. The picture
of Spearman instantly appealed to and
instantly in charges of the emergency
remained and became more vivid with-
in Constance, because she never saw.

And a decade most amazingly had
bridged the abyss which had separated
twelve years and thirty-two. At twen-

years before, had almost vansihed.lv

what salt water:' fish really taste
like. The theory that a constant
supply of fish is partly responsible
for the extreme intellectuality of
the people of the Maritime Prov-
inces is one that meets with some
considerable favor here.
Extreme dissatisfaction prevails
among the soldiers at the citadel
over the prospect of a continued 'gar-
rison duty now that the war is over.
It is impossible to explain to them
that it is not over. The case of some
is very hard indeed. They have been
doing garrison duty here ever since the
beginning of the war. Imagine Hien
enlisting in British Columbia and
California in the Autumn of 1914
and getitng no farther than Hali-
fax., Officers too, have been here
for years, their frequent applications
fr overseas employment having
been denied because they were con-
eidered indispensible 'in straining
younger officers. The trained youths
depar-ted and the rewards and pro-
motions have been theirs, the broken
limbs and the'graves in France, too,
for that matter. Nevertheless, the
hardship thus imposed on their sen-
iors, whose sole fault was that they
happened to be fully trained' in 1914,
can be appreciated. They have seen
the prizes go' to younger ,nen and
have. had to bear the unjust imputa-
tion of "slacking" because they did
not go overseas. In the earlier days
of the war interned German prison-
ers were kept at the citadel. On one
occasion several of them escaped,
cutting through inch bars of iron,.
scaling high walls and sucessfully
beating it. They hid, their table
knives in their mattresses and with
the utmost patience worried away at
the bars until they cut through two
of them. They then found them-
selves in the open, but confrdnted
by a deep moat. By fastening to-
gether a couple of niop handles they
scrambled down in safety, and faced
