The drawing -room, too—although, as in all houses of its class and per- iod, a thing of gilt frames, high mir- .ors and stiff furniture --was softened by heaps of cushions, low stools and soothing arnechairs, while Miss Fel- icia's own particular room was so veritable a symphony in chintz, white paint and old mahogany, with cubby holes crammed with knickknacks, its walls hung with rare etchings; pots of flowers everywhere and the shelves and mantels crowded with photo- graphs of princes, ambassadors, grand dukes, grand ladies, hussy head. ed children, chubby-cheektyl babies (all souvenirs of her varied and busy life), that it was some minutes be- fore I could throw myself into one of her heavenly arm -chairs, there to be rested as I had never been before, and never expect to be again. It being Peter's winter holiday, he and Morris had stopped over on their way down from Buffalo, where Holker had spoken at a public dinner. The other present and expected guests were Ruth MacFarlane, who was al- ready upstairs; her father, Henry MacFarlane, who was to arrive by the next train, and last and by, no means lest, his confidential clerk, Mr. John Bree, now two years older and, it is to be hoped, with considerable more common-sense than when he chucked himself neck and heels out into the cold world. Whether the expected arrival of this young gen- tleman had anything to do with the length of time it took Ruth to dress, the Scribe knoweth not. There is no counting upon the whims and vagaries of even the average young woman of the day, and as Ruth was a long way above that medium grade, and with positive ideas of her own as to whom she liked and whom she did not like, and was, besides, a most dis. Beet and cluse-mouthed young person, it will he just as well for us to watch the game of hatticdoor and shuttlecock still being played between Jack and herself, before we arrive at any fixed conclusion. Any known and admitted facts connecter] with either one of the con- testants are, howoe er, in order, and so while we are waiting for old Moggins, who drives the village 'bus, and who has been charged by Miss Felicia on no account to omit bring- ing in his next load a certain straight bronzed-cheeked, wall -set-up young man with a springy step, accom- panied by a middle-aged gentleman who looked like a soldier, and deliver them both with their attendant hag - gage at her snow -banked door, any data regarding this same young man's movements since the night Peter wanted to hug him for leaving his uncle's service, cannot fail to he of interest. To begin then with that day on which Jack, with Frederick, the sec- ond man's assistance, packed his be- longings and accepted Garry's invi- tstion to make a bed of his tees r' The kind-hearted Freda !c is v.hat , was to lose a pla^r" : <t his sympathies had been al: keen. Parkin's nose, on the con- trary, had risen a full degree and stood at an angle of 45 degrees, for be had,not only heard the ultitnatam of his employer, but was rather pleased with the result. As for the others, no one ever believed the boy really meant it, and everybody—even the maids and the high-priced chef— fully expected Jack would turn prod- igal as soon as his diet of husks had whetted his appetite for dishes more noutiehing and more toothsome. But no one of them toolc account of the quality of the blood that ran in the young man's veins. It was scheming Peter who saved the day. "Put that young fellow to work. Henry," he had said to MacFarlane the morning after the three had met at the Century Club, "What does he know, Peter'?" '"Nothing, except to speak the truth." And thus it had come to pass that, within twenty-four hours thereafter the boy had shaken the dust of New York from his feet—even to resign- ing from the Magnolia, and a day lat- er was found bending over a pine desk knocked together by a hammer and some ten -penny nails in a six -by - nine shanty, the whole situated at the mouth of a tunnel half a toile from Corklesville, where he was at work on the pay -roll of the preceding week. Many things had helped in decid- ing him to take the proffered place. First, Peter had wanted it; second, his uncle did not. want it, Corinne and his aunt being furious that he should go to work. like a common laborer, or—as Garry had put it—"a shovel -spanked dago." Third, Ruth was within calling distance, and that in itself meant Heaven. Once in- stalled, however, he had risen stead- ily, both in MacFarlane's estimation and in the estimation of his fellow - workers; especially the young en- gineers who were helping his Chief in the difficult task before him. Other important changes had also taken place in the two years; his body had strengthened; his face had grown graver, his views of life had broad- ened and, best of all, his mind was at rest. Of one thing he was sure— no confiding young Gilberts would be fleeced in his present occupation— eee Erg. lfaglq't4 Co1Rd �%:4,, the of Moto t,clla 2p may 1* ad ironle Oateerrp, AW el CATARRH M*rfe'flulf9 to ea Interaolly mei ao tl$ u the 1090 04; thel( ucous Surfeceit of the Or r -arbus.rCAachi the Infirm n i1on "rag ng notmtal conditions. l' L ruiileta 4 malars tree #J.,CAeney & Co..

On Saturday afternoons and Sundays he tramped the hills, or spent hours rowing nn the river. His employer's villa was also always open to him - a privilege not granted to the others The old tie of t ew akin force. inworking family was s the sesame. Judge Breen's son was, both by blood and training, the social equal of any man, and •aithouleh the distinguished en- gineer, being well born himself, sel- dom set Ettore on such things, he re- cognized his obligation in Jack's case and sought the first opportunity to tell hint so. "You will find a great change in your surroundings, Mr. Breen," he had said. "The little hotel where you will have to put up is rather rough and uncomfortable, but you are always welcome at my home, and this I mean, and I hope you will understand it that way without my mer{tioning• it again." The boy's heart leaped to his throat as he listened, and a dozen additional times that day his eyes had rested on the clump of trees which shaded the roof sheltering Ruth. That the exclusive Miss Grayson should now have invited him to pass some days at her home had brought with it a thrill of greater delight. Her opinion of the boy had changed somewhat. His willingness to put up with the discomforts of the village inn—"a truly dreadful place," to quote one of Miss Felicia's own let- ters—and to continue to put up with them for more than two years, while losing nothing of his good humor and good manners, had shaken her belief in the troubadour and armor the- ory, he- ory, although nothing in Jack's sur- roundings or in his prospects for the future fitted him, so far as she could see, to life companionship with so dear a girl as her beloved Ruth—a view which of course, she kept strict- ly to herself. But she still continued to criticise him, at which Peter would rub his hands and hr•teik out with: "Fine fellow!—square peg in a square hole this titme. Fine 'fellow, i tell you, Felicia!" Ile receiving in reply some such answer as: "Yes, quite leerily in fairy tales, Peter, and when you have taught him—for you did it, remember•—how to shovel and clean up underbrush and split rocks—and that just's what Ruth told nie he was doing when she took a telegram to her father which had come to the house—and he in to pair of overalls, like any common workman --what, may 1 ask, will you have him doing next? Is he to be en engineer or a clerk all his life?. ile night have had a share in his uncle's business by this time if he had had any common sense." Peter retorting often with but a broad smile and that little gulp of satisfac- tion—.something between a chuckle and a sigh ---which always escaped him when some one of his proteges were living up to his pet theories. And yet it was Miss Felicia herself who was the first to welcomo the re- probate, even going to the front door and standing in the icy draught, with the snowflakes whirling about pompadoured heart, until Jack I alighted from the tail end of Mi egins's 'bus and, with his satchel his hand, had cleared the side- walk with a bound and stood beside her. ' "Oh, I'm so glad to be here," Jack had begun, "and it was so good of you to want me," when a voice rang clear from the top of the stairs: "And where's daddy—isn't he com- ing?" "Oh!—how do you do, Miss•Ruth? No; I am sorry to say he could not leave—that is, we could not persuade him to leave. He sent you all man- ner of messages, and you, ton, Miss— "He isn't coming? Oh, I am so disapointed! What is the matter, is he ill?" She was half -way down the staircase now, her face showing how keen was her disappointment. t"No—nothing's the matter—only we are arranging for an important blast in a day or two, and he felt he couldn't be away. I can only stay the night." Jack had his overcoat stripped from his broad shoulders now and the two hall reached each other's hands. Miss Felicia watched them narrow- ly out of her sharp, kindly eyes. This love-affair—if it were a love-affair— had been going on for years now and she was still in the dark as to the cutcome.e There was no question that the boy was head over heels in love with the girl—she could see that from the way the color mounted to his cheeks when Ruth's voice rang out, and the joy in his eyes when they looked into hers. How Ruth felt to- ward her new guest was what she wanted to know. This was, perhaps, of NAY FEVER The Standard Remedy for BAY -FEVER aadAsthma. Sold 'Vail good Druggists.

Stories of his life at his boarding house— vaguely christened a hotel by its land lady, Mrs. Hicks—bubbled out out of the boy as well as accounts of var- ious escapades among the men he worked with—especially the younger engineers and one of the foremen who had rooms next his own—all told with a gusto and ring that kept the table in shouts of merriment— Morris laughing loudest and longest, Peter whispering behind his hand to Miss Felicia: "Charming, isn't he ?—and please note, my dear, that none of the dirt from his shovel seems to have clog- ged his wit—" at which there was another merry laugh---Peter'si, this time, his being the only voice in evi- dence. "And she is such fun, Miss Felicia" (Mrs. Hicks was under discussion), called out Jack, realizing that he had, perhaps—although unconscious- ly --failed to include his hostess in his coterie of listeners. "You should see her caps, and the magnificent airs sheP uis on whencome we me down late to breakfast on Sunday mornings." "And tell them about the potatoes," interrupted Ruth. "'Cit, that was disgracefgul, but it really could not be helped—ive had greasy fried potatoes until we could not stand them another day, and Bol- ton found them in the kitchen late one night ready for the skillet the next morning, and tilled them with tooth powder, and that ended it." "I'd have set you fellows out on the sidewalk if I'd leen Mrs. Hicks," laughed Morris. "I know that old lady --I used to stop with her myself when 1 was building the town hall— turd she's good as gold. 'And now tell me how MacFnr:me is geeti ng on - building a railre:ul, isn't he?

Miss Felicia heat:.,,) sententiously when Jack said "wr." but she did not interrupt the speaker. "And what sort of cutting?" con- tinued the archin et in a tone that showed his entire familiarity with work of the kind. "Gneiss ruck Lor eleven: hundred feet and then 'mine mica schist that we have had to shore up every time we move our Tills," answered Jack quietly. "Any cave-ins?" Morris was lean- ing forward new, his eyes riveted on the boy's. What information ho wanted he felt .sure he now could get. "Not yet, but plenty of water. 1i struck a spring legit week" (this time the "we" didn't seem so preposterous) "that came near drowning us out, but we managed to keep it 'inner with a six-inch centrifugal; but it . meant pumping night and day." "And when is he going to get through?" "That depend, '.n what is ahead of us. Our boring, show up all right —most of it is tough gneiss—but if we strike gravel or shale again it means more timbering, of course. Perhaps another year—perhaps a few months. 1 ant not giving you my own opinion, fur I've had very little experience, but that is what Bolton thinks—he's second in command next to Mr. MacFarlane—and so do the other fellows at our boarding house." And then followed a discussion, on "struts," roof timbers and tie -rods, Jack describing in a modest, imper- sonal way the larious methods used by the members of the staff with which he was connected, Morris, as usual, becoming so absorbed in the warding off of "cave-ins" that for the moment he forgot the table, his hostess and eeeie body about him, a situation which, while le it delighted Peter, who wee bursting with pride over Jack, was beginning to wear upon Miss 1Mlieni, who was entirely indifferent as in whether the top covering of >1ncFarlane's under- ground hole fell in or not. "There, now, Ilelker," she said with a smile as :she laid her hand en his coat sleeve - -"not another word. Tun- nels are things everybody wants to get through with as quick as possible —and I'm not going to spend all night in yours—awful lamp places full of smoke--No—not another word.

I want to show you the most delicious copy of Shelley you ever saw. No, Mr.Breen, Ruth wants you; we will be with you in a few minutes—" Then after the two had passed on ahead—"Look at them, Major—aren't they a joy, just to watch?—and aren't you ashamed of yourself that you have wasted your life?

Sit here, Holker, and tell me about the dinner and what you said. AU that Peter could remember was that you never did better, and that every- body cheered, and that the squabs were so dry be couldn't eat them." But the Scribe refuses to be inter- ested in Holker's talk, however bril- liant, or in Miss Felicia's crisp re- partee. His thoughts are down a- mong the palma, where the two fig- ures are entering the arbor, the soft glow of half a dozen lanterns falling upon the joyous face of the beautiful girl, as, with hand in Jack's, she leads him to a seat beside her on the bench. "But it's like home," Jack gasped. "Why, you must remember your own garden, and the porch that ran along- side of the kitchen, and the brick walls—and just see how big it is and you never told me a word about it! Why'!" "Oh, because it would have spoiled all the fun; I was se afraid daddy would tell you that I made him prom- ise not to say a word; and nobody else had seen it except Mr. Morris, and he said torture couldn't drag it out of him.

'As in his life time, his thoughts weir of the West. so does the memorial to him stand to -did. The sculptor has caught the spirit of the adventurous.pioneer in the poise of the body and the head. Vision. courage, determination are plain to the observant eye and understanding mind. Maisonneuve and the host of gallant men and noble women who laid the foundation of the Canada of to -day, long, age embarked upon the greatest and last quest. But their faith in the new land is as a living flame in the hearts of their successors. They see their country favored by geography and nature, a link between East and West, and extending almost 4,000 miles from ocean to ocean. They know that it is endowed with a richness of natural resources beyond the power of man to calculate Above all they rejoice in its attainment to a place and a voice in the councils of the nations. Retrospect is often pleasant. The true Canadian has little time for that. His heart and mind are on the present ane the future He knows that if his country is to come to lull fruition as a nation it tnust be by still worthier efforts on the part of its people individually and collectively. No single province within the Dominion's far-flung boundaries can afford to disregard another Each must be in sympathy with all the rest. The East must share in the problems as well as in the joys and prosperity of the West The West must have faith in the East Bound by an invisible but unbreakable chain of mutual affection and goodwill they can and will put and keep Canada in the very vanguard of the worlds great nations. The development of the national spirit has been fostered in many an hour of peril. dithculty, and struggle. it is beginning to bloom in beauty and strength. Its progress has been greatly advanced of late years by the action of important organizations, m sending delegations to many sections of the country, so that their members may add to their first-hand knowledge of their home land. Such an organization is the Montreal Board of Trade which will celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of its founding by beginning on September 1,a thirty days' tour of the Dominion. The members will not only see the country be all the glory of its most beautiful scenic settings. but the journey will be so arranged as to give then a new perspective of its wealth of soil, forests, mines and waters.' and impressions of its indus- trial and commercial growth that would be impossible of visualizing in any other way. From Montreal the party will travel westward via Toronto and the Great Lakes; thence from Port Arthur to Winnipeg, the greatest primary grain centre on the con- tinent, prairie lands and through the Rockies across the a P B to Vancouver and Victoria. On the return journey they will make the 550 -mile cruise up the north Pacific Coast from Vancouver to Prince Rupert. on one of the palatial Canadian National Railways steamers. This part of the journey will give the party a splendid idea of the development in the mining, lumbering and pulp and paper industries of British Columbia, with all their future possibilities. At Prince Rupert, Canada's most northerly Pacific port, hewn out of the solid rock of Kaien Island, there will be every opportunity to gain an insight into the enormity of the halibut and salmon industry of the province. Froin Prince Rupert eastward the party will become acquainted with the Skeena River, with its historic and romantic traditions, its arresting grandeur, and its fame as one of the most prolific salmon streams in the world. They will see too, some of the Bulkley and Nechako River Valley country, one of the newest fields of settlement opened up in the west. Unknown to the vast majority of Canadians, the luxurious valleys that lay between the mountain ranges in this area, are suitable for mixed farming, dairying, fruit growing and cattle raising. In the years to come their productivity, now a matter of knowledge to com- paratively few, will offer means of livelihood and competence to thousands of new people. Shortly after leaving Prince George, the party, will past through Mount Robson Park- This is a veritable wonder• land of mountain scenery, some 650 square miles in extent and set aside by the government of British Columbia as a national playground and wild life sanctuary. Here will be obtained an excellent vicw of Mount Robson, with an altitude of 13,068 feet. It towers above the surrounding peaks, sublime, majestic, with green glistening glaciers and pure white snow adding to its beauty. Sometimes itsown summit is lost amid the mists and clouds; quite often that summit is the centre of raging storms. But on Mount R'bson they beat in vain. Next jasper Park, another mountain kingdom, but of greater extent, embracing 4,400 square miles of sublime mountain scenery, is entered. Here the party will spend a day at Jasper Lodge, the new Alpine chalet built on the shore o Lac Beauvert by Canadian National Railways, and the first of a series to be built throughout these Northern Canadian Rockies. At night they will leave for Edmonton. From Edmonton the homeward route11 be through the rich farm lands of the northern part of thefrairieprovinces to Winnipeg following the trans -continental line of Canadian National Railways through the rich pulp forests and new farm lands of Northern Ontario to Cochrane, down through the famous Cobalt mining districts over the Temiskaming & Northern Ontario Railway to North Bay, thence to Ottawa, and back to Montreal.
