She came in, .a leading lady taking the stage, head high, chin thrust for- ward', eyes dancing with laughter; she expressed triumph and arrogance. Her cheeks were flushed, and there was some disorder in the . mass .of nut' -brown hair that crowned her head. In her left hand she carried an enormous bouquet , of white camelias. On its middle finger a diamond of great price drew almost at once by its efrulgencethe eyes of all. Her father sprang to meet her with an unusual display of paternal ten- derness. enderness. "At last, my child!" Ho conducted her to the table. She Eank into a chair, a little wearily, a little nervelessly, but the smile did ret leave her face, not even when :he glanced acecres at Scaramouche. 4n'ir•e-Louis, however, still went on t atinee stolidly, without so much as look in her direction.

Twenty-four hours with La Binet had been more than enough for the fastidious and discerning taste of M. de La Tour d'Azyr. He looked back upon the episode with nausea—mar- veling at himself that until yesterday he should have found her so desirable, and cursing himself that for the.sake of that ephemeral and worthless gratification he should seriously have imperiled his chances of winning Mademoiselle de Kereadlou to wiee. The Chevalier de Chabrillane sat opposite to him in the enormous traveling berline. As they were rat- tling over the cobbles of Nantes' streets he remembered a promise to La Binet to witness her performance that night in "The Faithless Lover." He had led the 'mercenary 'little. strumpet—it was thus he thought of her at present, and with some justice -to expect favors from him in addi- tion `to the lavish awards which al- ready he had made her. The baggage hadalmost sought to drive a bargain with hire as to her future. It become necessary now to come to an under- standing, since he was compelled to choose between his trivial passion for her -a passion quenched already— and his deep, almost spiritual devotion to Mademoiselle de Kercadiou. "AND NOW YOU'VE GOT YOUR ANSWER," CHUCKLED BINET, "I HOPE YOU LIKE IT." two minutes none remained in the room but M. Binet, lois daughter, and Andre -Louis. And then, at last, Andre -Louis set down knife and fork, washed his throat with a draught of Burgundy, and sat back in his chair to consider Climene. "I trust," said he, "that you bad a pleasant ride, mademoiselle" "Most pleasant, monsieur." Im- pudently she strove to emulate his coolness, but did- not completely suc- ceed. "And not unprofitable. if I may judge that jewel at this distance; worth a formidable sum even to so wealthy a nobleman as M. de La Tour d'Azyr. Would it be impertinent in one who has some notion of becoliiing your husband, to ask you, mademoi- selle, what you have given him in return?" M. Binet uttered a groes laugh, a queer mixture of cynicism and con- tempt, "I have. given nothing," said Cli- mene, indignantly. "Ah! Then the jewel is in the na- ture of a payment in advance." 'My God mare you're not decent!" M. Binet 1 -retested, "Decent?" Andre -Louis' smoulder- ing eyes turned to discharge upon M. Binet such a filmination of contempt that the oldecoundrel shifted uncom- fortably in his chair. "Did you men- tion decency, Binet? Almost you make mo lose my tamper." . Slowly his glance retueed to Climene. "Made- moiselle," he said, slowly, "I desire you .purely in your own interests to consider: whither you are going." "1 tin We11 able to consider for i uystif, eel to decide without advice from you, monsieur," "And now you've got your answer," chuckled Bind. "I hope yoe. like it." .Andre -Louis had paled a little; there was incredulity in his greet sorebee ares as I hey -continued st,ead- rly to rrr Lill 11r:r, Of 141.

The great traveling carriage drew up at the lighted portals of the Fey- dau, and M. le Marquis stepped out. Ile entered the theatre with Chabril- lane, all unconsciously to deliver him- self into the hands of Andre -Louis. In the interval after the second act, Andre -Louis sought the dressing - room shared by Polichinelle and Rho- domont. Polichinelle was in the act of changing. "I shouldn't trouble to change," he said. "The piece isn't likely to go beyond my opening scene of the next act with Leandre." He was gone. Rhodomont stared at Polichinelle. Polichinelle stared at Rhodomont. As they approached the wings a roar of applause met them coming from the audience. It was applause and something else; applause on an unusual note. As it faded away they heard the voice of Scaramouche ring- ing clear as a bell: "And so you see; my dear M. Leandre,-that when you speak of the Third Estate, it is necessary to be more explicit. What precisely is the Third Estate?" "Nothing," said Leandre. There' was a gasp from the audi- ence, audible in the wigns, and then swiftly followed Scaramouche's next question: "True. Alas!

Leas than four hundred - years ago Jacques Cartier raised the Pleur -de -lis at Gaspe, thus claiming the land in the name of the Icing of France; but he little dreamed of the vast teynitory that stretched away to the Pacific. Until the coming of the English tho St. Lawrence valley and the Maritimes were the only settled parts of Canada. To -day she occupies more than half a continent. It has been said that she covers so much sue - fee that all the climates of Europe are found within her borders. True, only a narrow strip along the southern edge has been brought under cultivation but each year this etr•Ip grows wider and wider. In Ontario and Quebec where the fertile soil ends the rich mineral lands begin. This source of wealth has been lying for centuries just beneath the barren surface yet its discovery is comparatively recent. Canada now supplies ninety per cent. of the nickel and cobalt naevi in the rvorid, as well as eighty-five per cent. of the asbestos. She has been known to Europeans Dor almost four hundred years yet the most of her growth "has been made during the last fifteen decades. With they coming they United! Empire Loyalists her era of progress dawn- ed- These people, loyal to their king, left comfortable 'homes in tho re- volted colonies to come to Canada, then an almost unknown wilderness. Ontario owes its beginning to them. Under the early British rule the Gov- ernment of Canada was quite as dee- patio as ft was during the French regime. The "new subjects" as the French Canadians: were called were well satisfied with this system, having known nothing better; but the "old subjects" complained` continually, for they had absolutely no share in the government.. However, with the Loyalists there oame'a change. Owing to their agitation the Constitutional Aot, which gave a measure of self- government, was passed la 1791. . Grudgingly the unbroken forests gave way to tiny clearings. By slow - degrees good waggon roads were built and schools and churc'hes were opened up. These were few and far between+ and many people grew up' with only the rudiments of education. Large numbers could not even read or write. To -day there are fine school systems. In alt the provinces and education is free to every one. The Constitutional Act did not end the struggle for self-gover7nment. In 1837 a rebellion broke out in both Upper and Lower Canada. This was easily put down but it had the desired effect of arousing the 'British Gov- ernment overprnvent $b the needs of Canada and, on the advice of Lord Durham the Union Aot was Passed in 1840, 5t111 the slimmg!lo Dar x05113' Depnocratic Government event on until a scheme evolved in the Inirrcle of far-seeing statesmen. The BeitiR,:h North America Act wasepassed in 1867 and four prov- inces, Quebec, Ontario, ;Nova Scotia and New Beuirswiek were'united under. the n'amo of Canada. From that time on the growth of our country has been almost miraculous. At the time of Con- federation the population was, about three and a half mielious.' On this our Sixtieth Anniversary there* are more than time and a half mi'll'ion people. The population has been almost tripled in little more than half at century: Canada hies always haul an abund- anee of raw materials but it is only ing the fast' few years'. that her manu- facturing ineuetries have : been de• veioped. Since 1900 her industrial out- put hats' •been increased six -times. Not so very manyyears, ago all the vet s Western, wheat lands were in- habited onlyby wanderinggndians and a few Hadeon Bay trader's, "To -day Canada supplies ten per •cent, of the wheat c0n4,1141e4 in the whole world. Lumberis also one of her intp'ortent.' products, • She 'supplies twenty-two per cent. cE the lumber isel in the world. lu the old days this was not considered a valuable product; It was quite customary to clear a piece of land and then burn the,tinhber,take'n from it. J The pulp anti ,eaper industry is also inlpor•lant, the largest paper mill in the wor'id Is at Three Rivers. At the time of Confederation British Coi ienbia was separated from -the rest of Canadaby mountain and plain and in this way her trade was hampered. She entered the Union in 1871 on con - ellen that a railway ehould be built across the continent. Tho Canadian, Pacific Railway was the direct result of Confederation.

Canada may well say "Daughter I am in my Mother's house but Mistress in my own." She has no desire to break away from the great empire of which she forms such an important part. In the boor of danger she gave unstintingly of her men and money.

Indeed, herd haa.been in recent, years, a decided trend towar.1 a closer inter- connection of electric power systems. What effect this electrical develop- ment will have upon the future' in- dustrial situation is a matter of eolr- jecture, . People of authority are credited with the belief that it is upon such development that the prosperity of British indust -a will mat. While ile this statement is porhap; farther. ;than many people would cart- to go, the possibilities of electrical energy in• helping to remove the depression which has marked shipbuilding, coal mining and enginereing'in'the.past few years are conceded to be immense: There is also the additional consid- eration that the project will tend to disperse the popelation rather than Congregate itin the towns, in con- trast with the opening up of coaI mines, around wh :.,r largeurtories clustered.
