But there was no trace of anything but pure friendliness in her manner: and tone when she entered the library that afternoon to bid him welcome to Stair. "I have to apologize for this in- trusion," lie said in his frankest, most winning manner. "I excuse it on two grounds—Miss Rankine has written to tell me you are mistress here, and though it would have been kinder if you 'had told me yourself at the be- ginning I believe I am forgiven for my importunity. The second is, I want you to come back. I've got something else. I've brought it with me, and if you will let me stop twenty- four hours at the Ayr Hotel until you've got time to run your eyes over it, I believe you won't send me away empty-handed." Carlotta slightly shook her head. "You are welcome to Stair, Gra- ham, and if your trape are at the hotel, some of them will fetch them up. I shall be pleased to read the new play, but—but—I don't think I am going back." Grahsun Madox looked a trifle dis- appointed. "I understand how you must care about this beautiful home," he said, glancing round the room with a slight hesitancy; " but it is not possible nor right that you should give the whole of your life to it when the world needs you so much." "1 mutt at least wait' until my hus- band cornea back," said Carlotta quiet- ly, "I think be is on his way now. After that we can talk it over. But meanwhile do let the send down for your things, and come and talk to Judy. Although she was very angry with you in New York and would not say good-bye to you, she has forgiven you long since." Madox smiled, He had always liked Judith Rankine and respected her as a type of very high and noble woman- hood. Sometimes her Scotch out- spokenness had somewhat discomfited his more plausible English nature, which shrinks from calling a spade a Spade. Judy had not shrunk from that, and in one rather sharp passage between them in the sitting -room at tiro Iioeand House in New York she had reminded him that Carlotta was in her care, and that he had to keep his distance (the very words Judy had used) and confine Ms attentions strict- ly to business themes, Carlotta had eat heard of this little scene until after Judy', boat had sailed, and then, instead of being amused as Madox had fully expected, she had been deep- i ly moved. When Madox seemed to hesitate i Carlotta went on: "Papa and mamma will be here not later than Tuseday of next week to' May. We shall love to show you Scot- land properly. All you know of it now, is a Glasgow hotel in winter! Tt is ,o different Isere." Madox admitted that it was. l I "Seeing you in a place like this, my c dear," he said with a touch of sadness in his tone, "one might well heel - tate to ask you to come back to the world --but there is the future." He made pause there, for he could hardly put into words what he actu- ally thought—that in all probability the Laird of Stair would never come back any more to the home of his fathers, and that the snows of the Yukon had claimed him. • Carlotta, with her almost uncanny intuition, divined his thoughts. "I know what is at the back of all that, Graham, but I know that my husband .is coming back soon—why, there he is!" She moved, quite quietly but with radiant face and starry eyes, towards one of the long windows which stood open, and passed out. Absorbed by their talk, Madox had not heard the sound of distant wheels on the gravel, and when he stepped after Carlotta all he saw was the tall figure of a man,. in a grey traveling suit and 'bare head, take Carlotta in - the swift embrace which said all that words could never say. Graham Madox turned decently away with what bitterness in his soul they would never know. Making hie way in the hall, he found some means of egress which enabled him to leave the house un- observed, and when afterwards the remembered him, and sent down to the hotel to inquire, they found tha he had gone—his first -and last visit t Stair having lasted exactly five -and twenty minutes. Judy, mooning in the sunshine. the terrace steps, amused herself b throwing little pebbles from the pa into the round pond where the gold fish disported themselves, watchin the eddies rise and spread across the clear surface. She did not hear the wheels, for the very good reason that the whole solid block of the masonry of the house intervened. Presently she rose with a little sigh and thought.. she would go in and see how the interview was progressing, when a figure appeared at the far end of the terrace, having come round the gable of the house. "Oh, Peter!" cried Judy, and ran her fape blanching white in the mere! less sunlight, and her eyes pitiful, al most anguished in their depths. "It was no good. You heard nothing? Oh, poor Carlotta, her heart will surely break this time!" "My dear," said Peter Garvock, "Alan is here. They are—they are somewhere in front. Don't go near them just yet. After what he's been through, this hour wants no shorten - ng or interruption." "Alan here, Peter!" whispered Jud n a voiceless whisper. "But whe —how—when did you find him?" "It's a very long story and it will keep, Judy. Meanwhile I want to know how you are." "1? Oh, you can see! I'm a person f no importance. Alan and Carlotta —somewhere in front! And together! s he --is he well, Peter? Has he hanged much? Is there anything to break our hearts about?" "Nothing. He is well; he is fit; he s handsomer than ever; and he has done what he set out to 'do, Judy— he udy he has come back a rich man to re- deem Stair." "To redeem Stair!" repeated Judy in a low voice. "But oh, does that matter after all, Peter? When one comes down -to the bedrock of things it isn't plaebs that matter—only peo- ple! We have set Stair up too high, and we have had to pay the price. Oh, I want to go to them—and Yet I daren't." 'Don't go' yet,"pleaded Peter Gar- vock with a strange new gentleness and consideration which began to astound Judy, and to push other things into the background of her mind. Suddenly she looked at him with an odd steadfastness and inquiry, almost as one might look at some ob- ject, long familiar, which suddenly presents some new and unfamiliar phase. "Peter, you are great! There is a lot more behind all this than meets the eye..Tell me this very minute where you found Alan." • "I found him in a shack on the Klondyka River, my' dear, in the rear of an old gold -mine. It was what they m hese days the psychological moment, Judy. All- I claim to. is that I arrived in the nick of time. Alan had got strangely detached. from--: from all this, and I was able to bring hint.sharply beck. But he has come back with all his might, my. dear,. you {nay take it from, me. And it is a sure thing: that if we had been able to charter one of the new flying ma- chines. at Quebec we never should, have crossed the Atlantic in the usual' way." "You did that, Peter! You!" "Yes. It is allI lay claim to do. I talked and tallied and better talked until I got Stair into his blood again. The spell of the Yukon is something like the evil spirit of old—it takes exorcising! Now I'm going to my mother, Judy, and you can find Alan. You've no need for me at Stair to- day." "No need for you at Stair, indeed!" cried Judy indignantly, "when but for you this day would never have dawn- ed for Stair!" Judy's face was infinitely pathetic, for at the back of her mind was the deep-rooted conviction that she had rendered her last service to. Stair, and that the two, now re -united, would henceforth have but little need of her. Garvock saw these eyes, and with the new intuition of gentleness and consideration for 'others which had come to'him, he' fully understood. But before he could say that which was in his heart Judy went on talk- ing, "What I want to know is, who is going to recon bene you for what you have done, Peter? You needn't shake your head, I know without any of your tolling or Alan's that it is you who have done it all. I can see from your face that you haven't spar- ed yourself. Who is going to pay you? That's what I want to know." Garvock took a step forward until he could look into the kind wells of Judy's speaking eyes. "What about yourself, Judy?" was all he said. (The 'End.)

"This condition of affairs," Mr. Jaarstad says, "has. soused intending emigrants to look to other countries where they may hope to find oppor- tunities equal to.those offered In the U,S.A, in previous years," "Such a country is Canada," says Jaarstad, "Canada is vet on the threshold of its development. It is a country of great agricultural pos5l- bilities and with undeveloped natural resources, which offer rich reward to those who have the will to work. "Unfortunately, Canada is not as well known in Norway ag its great neighbor to the South,"- says the. writer.

Advises Countrymen Go to Canada. For the purpose of setting public opinion right with regard to Canada, Mr. Jaarstad has contributed some ex- cellent articles, containing a wealth of information about the country, its' development during the past few years . and its possibilities for future emi- grants. During a recent buslitess tripe to Canada, Mr. Jaarstad had occasion to visit the principal Norwwegian! c0nnnunities in Canada, interviewing i countrymen who had lived for several I years in the eoutttry, and the lmpres-1 stone which he received and now re- i dates were very favorable. Mr, Jaarstacl calls attention to the fact that in the five year period pro- ceeding the war there wes quite a movement of Scandinavian emigrants to Canada. This direct emigration, was, however, small in comparison with the emigration of Scandinavians from the States to the Prairie Pro- vinces of Canada. Thousands of Nor- wegian _4mericans, pioneers and their sons, changed their domicile from the States to the Prairie Provinces, where fertile agricultural lands could be had free or -ata very low price, The great majority, fully ninety per cent. of these settleas, are farmers, and have prospered beyond their expectations in 'the Oanadian West. "Cannan is not an industrial coun- try, says the writer, "Those who wish for noticing better than to work in shore and factories, had better re- main at home, Yet, thousands of arti- sans and common laborers, who cane; to Canada a few years ago and found farm employment, are now located on farms of their own, where they are never disturbed by the shrill whistle of the factory, These people do not regret their change of . occupation., They consider the soil of Canada the best in the world," "There is only one country which has been able to produce 40 to 50 bushels of wheat to the acre and No. 1 Hard at that. Thateountry is Can- ada. The average crop is 18-30 bush- els to the ,acre, a very profitable yield.. Of course in a country of such dimen•• axons, both good and inferior land is to be found, but there is such an abundance of excellent land that no settler with eyee to see with, need till inferior soil." Gives Much Authentic Information. Mr. Jaarstad devotee considerable space to geographical and statistical information about Canada, its agri- cultural and commercial "progress dur- ing the last twenty years. In conclu- sion he says: "Canada stands on the threshold of its development. Only a fraction of its natural resources are developed. Only the surface has been scratched, ea it were. The develop- ment of the country has been inter- fered with by the war and the period of readjustment which followed. Front now on the outloolt is brightening, Canada inaintelus an open door policy towards the thousands who wish to emigrate from. Northern Europe. To those who are contemplating leaving their native land "I .have this to say, that for the agricultural classes there is no better oomttry than Canada, Those who wish to engage in. agricul- tural pursuits will there find oppor- tunities that they cannot fled else- where, and they can start with a com- pesatively small capital. By persever- ance and thrift they may, in a few years, become independent owners of a good 160 -acre farm.

Take, for instance, Chalfont St: Giles. In a cottage by thsaide of the brain road, along which thousands of cars pass, Milton finished his great epic, "Paradise Lost." There are many similar vlllage shrines in 'this country. At Burford Bridge, a village near Dorkleg,'in the beautiful hotel garden which; nestles under the green slopes of Box Keats listened to the nightingales and wrote a large portion cf "Endymion." In the same garden Nelson sat with Lady Hamilton before he sailed on his last voyage. They parted there, never to meet again. - Penne and a Poet, Stoke Poges-is remarkable for its connection with the Penns, who founded Pennsylvania and the Quaker city of Philadelphia,, buteven more for its churchyard, perhaps the most famous in the world, for it inspired Gray's "Elegy." The poet and his mother lie here in the same grave. Great Marlow is associated with the name of Shelley, who wrote "The Re- volt of Islam" there. Coleridge Was born at Ottery St. Mary, in Devon, his father being vicar there at one time. And •Clavering St. Mary in "Penden- nis" is the same Devonshire village, for It was in this rural spot that Thaokeray spent all'his holidays while he was at the Charterhouse School. Of course, Selborne is inseparably connected with the name of Gilbert White; Hursley, a neighboring village, with John Keble, who wrote "The Christian Year"; Eversley, another Ifiampsltire village, with Charles Binge= ley, the apostle of "muscular Chris- tianity" and the author of "Westward I-101" Link With "Little -Neil.. Salcombe, near Bolt. Head, In South Devon, is only a tiny place, and many come and go without knowing that it haS any special association. But Tennyson knew Saioombe well, and it was memories of its cliffs and sea which inspired "Crossing the Bar," which the poet directed should be placed last in every editions of his works. The vlllage of Tong, on the borders of the Black Country. is the place, graphically described by Dicicens, where Little Nell died and was burled. Many people visit the churchyard, and some ask, to be shown Nell's grave. She never bad any real existence, yet when Dickens "killed" her in his novel, "Tire Old Curiosity Shop," all England grieved. Olney Is perhaps a small "town," but it will always be sacred t0 Cowper, who lived there many years. It was in this place that he wrote "The Task" and "John Gilpin."

At Nether Stoney, in Somerset, at the foot of the Quantocks, ,Coleridge rented a cottage for seven pounds •a Year. Here he lived for two yec4ts, during which he wrote t'Kubla Khan," "The Ancient Mariner," and "Christa- bel." Here, too, he was visited by Lamb, Southey, Hazlitt, and De Quin - qty, Wordsworth and his sister Dor- othy were at the same time living in the near -by village o1 AIfoxden, and the two poets and Dorothy took long walks together, out of which came an epoch-making volume of poems, the famous "Lyrical Ballads" Somersby la: celebrated among Lin colnshire villages as the birth place of Tennyson. The Penogs "brook' is close by; and so is the reputed "moat - ed grange." Grasmere, a small village in the Lake District, is remembered because Wordsworth lies -in its. churchyard. What°Causes Colds.
