The main features• of the result are, of course, the• same as, *dre shown in the earlier cables. The Reform Party, headed _by Mr. Massey, has • secured a most emphatic victory. A. party which only barely achieved a majority in 1912 has now been re- turned with a very substantial ma- jority over any _. conceivable combina- tions against It, and with an over- whelming majority over Its only. ser- ious competitor for power", namely, the Liberal Party. The exact figures, as now available, are: Reformers, 48; Liberals, 19; Labor, 11, and Inde- pendents, 2. An analysis of the voting, however, shows that the position of 'the Re- formers is not so firmly intrenched as these results . would appear to show. Considerably more than half of Mr. Massey's supporters secured their seats on minority votes, the ma- jority vote -being split between the Liberal and =' the Labor candidates. Nevertheless, it would' be a' mistake to suppose that, had the Labor can- didate been absent, it would have RIGHT HON. W.. V. MASSEY. meant the return of the Liberal. The fact of the matter is that, as far as anything fundamental is concerned, there is very little difference between the political 'aims of the_ two chief parties, the Reformers and the Lib-, erals; and there is a fiery general feeling, in some quarters, that a new alignment of parties is, sooner or later, inevitable. The conservative element of the Liberal Party is prob- ably indistinguishable, in the matter 'of political faith, from the Reform- ers; whilst the advanced section of the Liberals is really in sympathy with the aims of Labor. The Liberal Party, however, is a party of great traditions. For twenty- two years, namely, from 1890 to 1912, mostly under the able leader- ship of Mr. Seddon, the Liberals held office continuously, and, during that time, New Zealand won a great inter- national reputation `as a country ready to try experiments in the mat- ter of social reform, and usually sue- 'cessful in her experiments. The Lib- erals, therefore, may not readily agree to any kind of0 amalgamation with the Reformers, and almost cer- tainly will -not as long as the Labor Party is so definitely in the minority. Nevertheless, for nearly five years, during the war, the Reformers and the Liberals worked together, and it was undoubtedly very largely due to this coalition that when the mani- festoes of the two parties were issued, just pfior to the elections, they were found to agree so remarkably on all fundamental issues. In. New Zealand, as in many other countries, the coming factor is the factor of Labor, but its future is just, as obscure there as elsewhere. For, there as elsewhere, Labor's chief prob- lem is to preserve unity within 'its own ranks. The extremist and the adisloyalist are constantly alienating large numbers who would otherwise vote in support of the. Labor candi- date. On the other hand, the broad, sane policy of some of the Labor leaders is undoubtedly attracting sup- port in many diverse quarters. For the present the great majority of the New Zealand people seem to have got what they want, a strong, moderate government capable of dealing ener- getically with extremist or disloyal elements, while at the same time will- ing to carry through a great mass of very necessary domestic legislation, which the enforced neglect of the last five years has rendered urgent. Coal to Italy. Belgium has an obligation to fur- nish Italy with 60,000 tons of coal per, month, but the French Govern- ment is to take care of/the trans- portation. The French are at present unable to do this, and as a solution of the problem it has been proposed to erect a high-power transmission line and to deliver the fuel in shape of current. It has been figured out that the scheme is feasible and economical. U. S. Export of Condensed Milk, The export of condensed milk from the United States in 1919 'amounted to nearly 1,000,000 pounds, at a value of about $125,000,000. This quantity was fifty times as much as In the year preceeding the war, and the value nearly 100 times as great.

Mr. Wallin, as game warden and special spy for certain associated tim- ber barons, had been tipped off from down -river headquarters that Sabatis bad been consulting with lawyers and was going into the woods to make a test case of the varioue treaty rights of the Indians. - Mr. Kezar, wishing 'all the best for a friend of long standing, devoutly hoped, so he said, '• that the friend would not take any chances,,,.with a red devil like. Sabatis. It was Mr. Kezar's firm conviction that Mr. Wal- lin should shoot the. Indian on sight. But Mr. Wallin, in the mood he was in,. deiurred. A thing planned that way was too quickly over with. he idea is this;" stated Mr. Wallin, following up the topic of certain prisoners whom he had caused to be convicted and committed, "I" have been using some brains in my line the same ras anybody has got to use brains in these times. One of the first chaps I ever chased . in the woods winged me , in• the arm. But I got him. Didn't hurt him. He's still in state prison. Assault • with intent to kill an officer. I had a soft time in a hos`spittle, with a pretty girl to wait and tend and I got double pay and a • bonus. See? Well, when I wanted another soft thing, I caught a cheap snoozer and I shot my own self in the foot. Three months' vacation and all the .trimmings!,. And so on! I know how to plant a bullet in. me so that it don't hurt none tospeak of! I ain't going to waste that Indian by shooting him down like you advise. It hasn't ever made any difference what the other critters have said in court about not shooting me. Out- laws ain't believed in court. And an Indian outlaw, 'specially, wouldn't be believed, no matter how much book learning he's got." Mr. Wallin re- lighted his pipe and smoked complac- ently after his naive . confession. "I ain't going to waste that Indian, If I nurse him along- and let him pile up trouble for himself and I can' get up the courage to shoot a little deeper into myself, I ought to be good for six months on the loafing list. Give me a hosspittle for , pure. comfort. Nothing to do but touch the button! Double pay and pretty girls to pat your pillow and readnovelsout loud to you! I'n-i looking ahead to a damn' fine lay-off. I'm lonesome up here! I like ,to have wimmen to talk to," he sighed. It did not appear that Warden Wallin had it in mind to hurry' or harry his intended, prize: When the Kavanagh party started away the . next morning_ Paul's pursuer was still asleep in the "ram -pasture" at olan's House, his head bolstered by his ease of gin. But Kezar was not without his hopes. Mr. Wallin, it was apparent, was starting on one of his- "periodicals." - The: opportunities for accident presented by a cocksure man, a case of gin, and a persecuted Indian seemed to be by no means inconsiderable. II CHAPTER XIX Clare Kavanagh tries to fit the round pegs of her pledges and her dreams into the square holes of straight business. Colonel Marthorn found Sebomuk Farm more to his liking! The comforts of the place served as antidote not merely for the un- pleasant features of "roughing it," but for the humiliation he had ex- perienced bvhile he journeyed north. At Sebomuk the president' of the Great Temiscouata came into his own. He was able to hold court, after a fashion,, with obsequious attaches 'to 'guard the path to the throne: The buildings. of the headquarters depot were crowded along the river- bank and the larger structures crown- ed the hill -crest, behind which stretch- ed 'the broad fields where the come pany produced hay and grain and potatoes. Oddly enough, the only log house in the settlement was almost palatial compared •with the other buildings. It stood aristocratically apart by it- self. On " the real estate ledgers of the Temiscouata . syndicate it was listed as "filed -office building." That designation -=was polite fiction in some measure; but it enabled the copmany to defray the cost, from the general ex- pense fund, of keeping up a' fine, club house for ho rre-office dignitaries and their friends 'who enjoyed outings, fishing and hunting. Though the walls were of logs, the bark of the logs was smoothed and varnished. There were bath -rooms and 'other aids to comfort, as well as actual refine- ments. In the city such things were accepted -'''as matters of fact; but for Temiscouata guests the same comforts` found in the wilderness peculiarly in- tensified the zest of , enjoyment. Everybody always had a good time at Sebomuk Farm. Colonel Marthorn -and- his guests settled do*n to • a house party in a particularly happy frame of mind. There were fireplaces so big that a man might stand upright in them. But when' the roaringflames licked, leaped at, and devoured the heaped logs, the sense of thrift in the be - place. The chair was set in the center 1 of a bearskin rug and the colonel was I gazing up through cigar smoke at the giant head of a ;noose above the mantel. • Colonel Marc lorn':t inter- est iii the tro ky wa,a considerable because he had discovered, by reading a silver . tag inconsptemo. t-' y placed, that Kenneth had donated the head. The son looked so particularly man- ly and self-assertive and capable when he strode into the room and was con- trasted with the other men who had come north with 'the colonel, that• the father was conscious of feeling a hit avkwarddwhen he greeted the new ar- rival. It was a touch of that queer bashfulness which often affects the paternal attitude when the true realiz- ation comes that the son is a. man in all his attributes, no . longer depend- ent, nq longer • answerable, only so far as the filial sense of duty may influence him. And the colonel had found out that the filial sense in Ken- neth did not include making his own father a confidant in the most import- ant matter which had ever come be- tween them. Therefore the colonel's ,awkwardness of greeting was flavored by a certain reserve which the son translated as being ' `.`hold -over" re- sentment. On his own part, Kenneth assumed, by merely a hint of stiffness in his manner, the attitude of one who is defending and does not propose to be bullied or tricked, Colonel . .Marthorn hastened to create a real diversion to mask any embarrassment! He introduced his son to the latter's prospective brother - in -law --Cora Marthorn's trophy of her Alaskan trip. Kenneth had been apprised of her success by letter and •� was prepared to like the young man because he was also an engineer --a chap who had made goofd in the dif- ficulties of railroad construction in Alaska. The colonel was not especial- ly' concerned about Mr. Philip W' nsted's engineering capabilities; paternal ambition on behalf of Cora was set complacently at rest by the knowledge that Winsted senior was the leading capitalist behind the ,Alaskan railroad. 'The two men walked away together to fled Cora, after Kenneth had been given man's greeting in hearty fashion, by the gentlemen • from the home office. Young Mr. Marthorn did not display especial animation when he '*as assured by young Mr. Winsted, who evidently knew what woods loneliness was like and commiserated Mr. Marthorn, that the ladies who were along with the party were very jolly, and that 'he hoped, speaking quite frankly, that Mr. Marthorn would like his, Mr. Winsted's' sister, Sally Winsted, real well: She and' 'his darling Cora had, become such /fast friends. More than ever was Kenneth con- vinced that Alaska must be a very remote country, deaf and blind in re-, gdrd to news; he felt a little thrill of pride in the ability of his family to keep the door shut on a Skelton and to - keep Mr. Philip Winsted. surrounded by that Alaskan insula- tiWn. According tjo Kenneth's ?best belief, and he was not by any means an egoist, the whole world had rung with the news that he was married. To find one man—a man almost in his own family—who did not know about that dreadful mistake was con- soling. After all the thing might not be sticking in folks' minds and trickling from their mouths after the fashion which he had been fearing. Miss Winsted's brown eyes anct warm hand{ and her appraising of his qualities, an. interest detected prompt- ly by the object, certainly hinted that she considered him a commodity still available. Without trying to analyze his feelings, he felt distinctly ' heart- eped.• He had been doing much pondering during the. weeks 'which had passed since the day when John Kavanagh had been laid' to rest. He knew that he liked women and he wanted! women to like him. .In'the city, after he had returned from the West, he had avoid- ed the women who were his friends and' who knew what he had dyne; but he had been wondering all of the time what opinion the right sort of women would hold regarding a man who would elope with an unknown whom he later failed to produce before the eyes of society. He had, hurried into the woods! Clare Kavanagh, he re- alized, did know! Out of all the pic- tures his mind held of that day of their meeting, most vividly before his mental vislbh stood her face! - He was obliged to guess at the full quality of her real feelings, though her few words to- him had expressed dislike in caustic fashion. Dislike of him he could understand because,, without doubt, she had received as part of her heritage her father's grudge against the Marthorns. But she must know that he,' Kenneth, had had, no active part in the wilderness warfare; he had been concerned with the down -river mills. Nevertheless, he had never seen be- fore upon a girl's face such depth of scorn, such . flame of fury, such con- tempt and . actual hatred. He felt that the fact that he was the son of Stephen Marthorn could not account for all the contumely she had lavished on him ' visually. Was she express- ing woman's general estimate of him? He became very, amiable in the presence 'of Miss Winsted. His ideas were in a rather chaotic state, but he knew that he felt less lie a social pariah. Miss' Kavanagh understood only one phase of the a air; might she not be less blisteri •g with her gaze if she possessed f ller knowl- edge ? He had not the remotest no- tion haw he would be able to convey to her fuller knowledge; he would, not admit that he cared a copper for her opinion, anyway. None the less, it was discomforting to feel that in the realm of fair women there' lived a wonderfully handsome girl who loath- ed him, if her countenance told the truth. Indifference was endurable; he could -not hape to win all hearts. But loathing! His interest was piqued.; holders was not racked—there were - his -pride was touched. too many trees in the country through ; That day, 'just as dusk was setti- which they had journeyed •_o Sebomuk ing, after conference with a lackey at Farm!

It was Eublas rather shabby character in muddy Pratt who tiptoed across the glossy high boots and weather -stained buck- floor of the big room and' handed to skin, found his father, in a club 'the Temiscouata magnate a letter. rocket in front of the biggest fire- "Excuse me for not letting the r9 brass -button fellow bring this in,' apologized Mr. Pratt, "but we have to obey orders when we go on an X. K. errant: It's for you, sir. Miss Kavanagh told me to give it to you." The colonel set eye -glasses on his nose and read."Where " -ere is Miss Kav- anagh?" he asked. "Across the river, In camp on No Man's Gore." "What are you?" "One of her explorers, sir," "Do you tell me that she has come down here with camping outfit?" "I do, sir." "I think—I know that I made -my invitation clear to her," said the colonel, addressing the assembled officers of the syndicate and includ- ing Mr, Pratt. "She was asked to come here to the farm and be my guest—my daughter's guest. Hasn't she said anything, sir, to indicate that she understands that?" Mr. Prdtt, wagged' his head. "All she ever talks to me about is timber operations, when she gets • done and e talking about them she stps talk- ing." Colonel Marthorn re-examined the letter. Miss Kavanagh tersely pre- sented' her compliments and stated that she would db herself the honor of calling on Colonel Marthorn at ten o'clock the next forenoon. There was no hint of thanks for the invitation he had extended. The colonel felt an impulse to be rude on, his own ac- count. He waved the letter, his ges- ture dismissing Mr. Pratt. "The letter needs no- answer.- We await Miss Kavanagh's further com- mands." He twisted the last word with, ironic inflection. Hread the note aloud after Mr. Pratt. had departed; he crumpled it and threw it into the fire. "As you know, I came here by Mr. Donaldson's advice, gentlemen. I came to smooth matters and adjust differences. Here's that young woman throwing my' politenes in my facet •I don't believe I shall lave the patience to 'humor a girl's Confounded tantrums."
