"Then I think we'll be able to live
very comfortably for a couple of
weeks," observes Haines, meditatively,
lighting a cigar.
"Tile Seagull has already dropped
out of the Vleux port, where she was
laying and she will be off the Cornlche
road as you directed. I'll have a boat
on shore at the Roucas Blanc."
"Then the next thing Is to get the

marks Burton. "You had best not be

Bernardo Sallccti turns up, notify me

"Yea, I'll shadow everything, even

"Engage two trustworthy men," said
Barnes, "to follow our carriage on
horseback this evening. I niufet take
no chunces with the ladles in our com-
pany." Then llarnes goes oft to Lady j
Chnrtrls' parlor to make some neces-
sary llnanclul arrangements with that
lady.
Mr. IJarnes has scarcely finished
these and Lady Chartris has carried
away his check delighted, when Maud
bounces In upon him, her eyes big
with excitement and mystery. "Gee,
Marina is a case!" she whispers.
"Why?" Usks Ilurton, glancing sharp-
ly at her.
"Why, getting a note from a man
tho second day she was married and
crazy with fear her 48 hours' bride-
eroom will drop onto her little game."
Barnes gazes upon the infant prod-

remarks, solemnly.
"You bet!" asseuts Miss Chartris,

The horrlblo possibilities of such
demand impress themselves on Maud
with distressing effect; she snivels:

I rina, wildly.
j "Well, if you must know, I sold it to
llarnes for two boxes of inarrons
[ glaces."
"Sold that letter? Ay de ml, if he
shows it to my husband!" And Marina
pares tho floor in agitated dread.
"Don't torture me, miserable! I
have brought too much misfortune on
him already." Tears dim the orbs of
the Corslcan girl. "Tell dear Mr.
Barnes that 1 must see hlni; that it is
very important."
"Why, sure I'll do It, though I don't
think he'll help you put up any job

"Put up any job? Another base in-
lutinn from your childish lips and
I'll tell your mother you had that let-
ter concealed! Away!" Looking like
a frenzied goddess, Marina opens her
door and Maud speeds from it.
I "Gee," remarks the young lady to
j herself, as she lilts along the hotel pas-
I sagoway and notes Anstruther keeping
| watch outside his wife's door.
Ber eyes are still big with suspect-
| ed intrigue as she continues her con-
j \ creation with .Air. Barnes by suddenly
Interjecting: "She wants to see you'"
"Who?"
"Marina, the bride, of course. She
j wa!lt: 10 Rive you a hint not to let the
cat out ol the brig to Edwin about the
man whose letter made her faint."
Here, Miss C'hartrls, who has sud-
| denly looked out of the window, trying
j to hide a telltale face from the pierc-
I ing glance of her companion, ejacu-
lates almost tremblingly: "Holy
I poker,'"
"What's tho matter?"
"Why, there's the man walking up
the strei t who gave me the note that
knocked Marina out of time—the one
way and keeping his watch upon Kg
wife's chamber, Burton quite shortly
States he has a suggestion or two as
regards their yachting trip to make to
Marina.
The consequence Is that her hus-
band soon after brings her into the
parlor the party has secured for their
general use. As he does so, Barnes
notices something in the bride's man-
ner to her husband that increases Ids
alarm for her. In tho morning, though
Marina's eyes showed traces of the
sufferings their owner had undergone,
they were full of hope as tliey rested
on her bridegroom. Now despair up-
pears to have taken Its place as her
beautiful orbs linger lovingly yet sad-
ly on the man she adores, and then
seem to turn from him agitated by
some hidden determination.
A moment after Anstruther says, in
a loud tone intended for his bride's
ears: "Take care of her while I do my
packing," adding In a cautious whis-
per to llarnes: "See If you can find
out what Is really the matter with my
darling. Somo devilish thing must
have happened to her at the railroad
depot. She won't tell me. You dis-
cover."
I'nder these circumstances, Barnes
is very eager to learn the balance of
the note which had shattered the
bride's nerves.

"Glad you're looking so fit, Marina,"
ho remarks, lightly, for they have
grown into tho habit of addressing
each other with the familiarity of com-
ing relatives. "Maud told
wished to speak to me."
"Why, certainly, Burton, I—you—
you have read the letter that struck
me down in the railroad station. I
must beg you not to be cruel enough
to even hint to my husband its con-,
tents.
'Why, of course. 'Tis best for Ed-
win, at present, at all events, to be in
the dark," returns Barnes, groping
daikly himself; adding assuringly:
'You must pick up courage, my dear
girl. You faced a greater trial only I ce
two days ago." .
Her answer confuses and astounds
her interrogator. "Faced a greater
trial?" she says piteously. "Perhaps
in one way. After this she gasps for
a moment and suddenly cries: "Then
you haven't read the letter."
"Read it—most of it. A portion of it
hasn't come into my hands yet. Maud
said you tore it up."
The Interest that Western Canada
has aroused for some years past is
growing in intensity. The conditions
of the crop of 1907 are such that re-
sults can be spoken of with some de-
gree of certainty. The yield of grain
will be about 80,000,000 bushels and
the price the farmers will realize for
it will be upwards of seventy million
dollars. The oat crop was good in
most places, and the crop of barley
will be very remunerative. Those who
know of the generally unsatisfactory
conditions during the seeding, grow-
ing and ripening period in the United
States during the past season, will
look with righteous distrust on any
statement intended to give the impres-
sion that Western Canada conditions
were so much different. Generally,
j they were not, but tho conditions of
| a highly recuperative eoII, long and
continuous sunshine, are conditions
j possessed by Western Canada and not
possessed by any other country on the
Continent. This is why it is possible
j to record today a fairly successful
crop, when in most other places the
I opposite is tho case. The yield in all
J grains is less than last year, but the
j hiSker prices obtained mere than off-
i set any falling off in the yield. Tako
! for Instance tho Province of Sas-
katchewan the wheat crop will be
worth $21,135,000. Last year the
same crop was 35 per c '.it. larger and
the quality better. Tho yield was
worth $51,000,000. Oats and barley are
very important factors in all three
ntral Provinces. At Gladstone, Man-
I itoba, returns from ono farm were $27
J per acre from the wheat land, $35 per
j acre from oats, and $30 per acre from
barley. The yield of wheat at Dauphin,
| Manitoba, was 20 to 24 bushels to the

Maud dodges back In a frightened way.
But Barnes is already cautiously talc-
ing cognizance from another window
of the man whose scar Identifies him

southern France, a high Corslcan hat

A certain family likeness suggests to
Barnes that this man, though nearly
15 years younger, Is tho half brother
of the dead Count Musso Danella. Sud-
denly the man responds to something
he has seen in one of the windows of
the hotel by a nasty, sneering grin.
"What did he see In tho window?"

ishment bolts from the room, runs
down the stairs of the hotel, and
passes through the office Into the
street.

and says: "No, I'll be my own coun-

Her distracted manner adds to
Barnes' fear, not of her love and devo-

some project she keeps concealed. He
says, imperatively: "You must tell

"No, tis between my conscience, my

run about In this way:
The beautiful Corslcan bride, appar-
ently having recovered from tho first
| nhock of the letter in the Marseilles
depot, being dressed, at Enid's request,
for her carriage excursion, seems now
full of an excited yet morbid anxiety.
Obtaining opportunity when Miss
C'hartrls has entered her bedroom to
give her a kiss, tender her condolences
and get Into tho affair "with both
feet," as the adolescent Intrigante ex-
presses It, to herself, Marina whispers,
a strange pathos In her eyes: "Maud,

letter you picked up—tho one 1 dropped
on the floor of tho rallrond depot when

"Jinks, that's a nlco way of putting

Chartris Infant, with a knowing wink.
"No matter what It was affected
me." whispers the young Corslcan
standing, the one he knows Is Marina's
chamber, ho sees the bride of Edwin
Anstruther staggering away.
"Can It be possible that Edwin's
wife has given this man some signal
from her window that caused his tri-
umph?"
A moment's consideration effaces
this thought. No woman can bo more
dovoted to her husband than the bride
of Edwin Anstruther. Whatever the
agitated girl has done Is intendod for
her husband's safety. What can that
be?"
A second later, he thinks, it must
have merely been some sign of woe
or fear that had produced the triumph
of Corregio Danella.
This reminds llarnes of Marina's re-
quest to see him. "I will find out from
Mrs. Anstruther the contents of that
devilish letter tills astute dlstractor of
matrimonial bliss sent her," ha thinks,
and steps rapidly back Into the hotel.

Britons Seem to Be Exceptionally
Fond of This Fruit.
Our great-grandmothers, although
they had to pay a very high price for
dried currants, considered them quite
indispensable to the compounding cf
those pies, furmities and florentines
which were the pride of every house-
wife. Domestic catering must havo
been an arduous undertaking in those
days, for currants and other dried
fruits were not to be procured out of
London except once a year, at the an-
nual fair of the local market town.
1 he royal dish of plum porridge,
which It was the privilege of the
archbishop of Canterbury to serve
to a newly crowned sovereign, was
composed largely of currants, the fruit
being stewed in strong beef soup en-
riched with red wine and rod sack.
Now that the order has changed and
simplicity Is the keynote of the high-
est class cookery, we Britons have
trebled our appreciation of the home-
ly and wholesome currant; and al-
though florentines and plum porridge
are dishes of the past, no less than
02,000 tons of currants go every year
to the making of bread cakes, pastries
and puddings to tempt the British ap.

21 bushels were

looked for gave twenty-two to twenty-
five. One special patch south of town
on J. M. McFarlane's farm went as
high as thirty bushels to the acre. At
Sheho, Saskatchewan, oats yielded

Wunder threshed 2,500 bushels from
forty acres. The sample is good and
weighs well. At Lloydminster, Sas-
katchewan, W. Bibby threshed 97
bushels of oats to the acre, and two
others were but little behind. Wheat
here reached 35 bushels. At Portage

Ingleside threshed an average of 33
bushels No. 1 Northern. I. J. Grant
had 190 acres, yielding 6,000 bushels
of the same grade. These illustrations
taken from widely distant districts
(and thousands of others could be

not felt the serious effects from severe
winter, late spring, or unfavorable
conditions during the growing season
