Western Canada particularly, has been a, year of quiet achievement. If there has been nothing In its development of a spectacular nature, there has been a ■steady growth, a resolute elimination of things immaterial to prosperity. The year 1923 Is entered upon by the people of the West In high hope that it ushers in a period of prosperity based upon the productivity of the country and the vast riches of its natural resources. da.

It has met and overcome many obstacles in the path of its prosperity. Xhe year Just passed, however, has «en the silver lining peep out from the edges of the dark cloud and has demonstrated to the world the celerity whh h this country can adjust Itself to changed conditions. This Is evidenced by the fact that Canada has been the first among 11 countries whose currencies fell below par to bring that currency back to par, and even for a time above par. It did this la the face of what seemed Insuperable difficulties Increased Its exports, lessened its Imports, and generally set Its business bouse In order. The high standing of Canada as a nation Is shown by the ease with which her bonds are absorbed and by the high prices paid for them, and Winnipeg, It may be mentioned.- In a r*x-. nt flotation obtained a higher pr:< e than even any provincial government for some time.

Erskine Dale Fox, Illustrated by RJiLMngstoheTO

CHAPTER XV—Continued. The boy had been two years In the Wilds. When he left the Shawnee camp winter was setting In, that terrible winter of '79 —of deep snow and hunger and cold. When he reached Kaskaskia. Captain Clark had gone to Kentucky, and Erskine found bad news. Hamilton and Hay bad taken Vincennes. There Captain Helm's Creole*, aa soon as they saw the red coats, slipped away from him to surrender their arms to the British, and thus deserted by all. he and the two or three Americans v ith. him had to give up the fort. The French resworv allegiance to Britain. Hamilton con tisciitvd their liquor and broke up their billiard tables. H<? let his Indians scatter to their villages. nnd vlth his regulars, volunteers, white Indian leaders and red auxiliaries went Into winter quarters. One band of Shawnee* he seat to Ohio to scout and take s- alps in the settlements. In the spring be would sweep Kentucky and destroy all the settlements west of the Alleghnnies. So Erskine and Dave went for Clark: and that trip neither Storms bad followed each other since late November nnd the show lay deep- Cattle and horses perished, deer and elk were found dead in the woods. and buffalo came nt nightfall to old Jeron e Sandets' fort for food and companionship with his starving herd., There was no salt or le.food; nothing but the flesh ■if lean wild game. Yet. while the frontiersmen remained crowded in the stockades and the men hunted and the women made clothes of tanned deer hides, buffalo-wool cloth, and net-tie-bark linen, and both hollowed “noggins" out of the knot of a tree, Clark made his amazing march to Vincenn- s, i recaptured It by the end of February, and sent Hamilton to Williamsburg a prisoner. Er-kme pleaded to be allowed to take him there, but Clark would not let him go. Permanent garrisons were, placed at Vincennes and Cahokia, nnd at Kaskaskia. Erskine stayed to help make peace with the Indians, punish marauders and hunting bands, so that by the end of the year Clark might sit at the falls of the Ohio as a shield for the West and a sure guarantee that the whites would never be forced to abandon wild Kentucky. The two years in the wilderness had left their mark on Erskine. He was tall, han. swarthy, gaunt, and yet he was not all woodsman, for Ids born Inheritance ns gentleman had been more than emphasized by his association with Clark and certa’.a Creole officers in the Northwest. •ho bad improved his French and gratified one pet wish of bls life since his last visit to the James —they had taught hin> to fence. His mother lie had not again, but he had learned that she was alive and not yet blind. Os Early Morn be had heard nothing at ail. Once a traveler had brought word of Dane Grey. Grey was in Philadelphia an I prominent in the gay doings of that city. He had taken part in n brilliant pageant called the “Mlsehlanza.” which was staged by Andre, and was reported a close friend of that 111-fated young gentleman. After the Oght at Piqua, with Clark Erskine put forth for old Jerome Sanders’ fort. He found the hard days of want over. There was not only corn In plenty but wheat. potat<»es. pumpkins, turnips, melons. Game was plentiful, and cattle, horses, and hogs had multiplied on cune and buffalo clover. Indeed. it was a comparatively peaceful fall, and though Clark pleaded/With him. Erskine stubbornly •et his/face for Virginia. At Williamsburg Erskine learned many things. Colonel Dale, now a general, was s?iU with Washington and Harry was with him. liugh was with the Virginia militia and Dave with Lafayette. Tarleton's legion of rangers in their white uniforms were scourging Virginia as they had scourged the Carolinas. Through the James River country they had gone with tire and sword, burning houses, carrying off horses, destroying crops, burning grain In the mills, laying plantations to waste. Barbara’s mother was dead. Her neighbors had moved to safety, but Barbara, he heard, still lived with old Mammy and Ephraim at Red Oaks, unless that, too, had been recently put to the torch. Where, then, would he find her? Down the river Erskine rode with a sad heart. At the place where be had fought with Grey he pulled Firefly to a sudden halt. There was the boundary of Red Oaks and there started a desolation that ran as far as his eye could reach. Red Oafarhad not been spared; and he put Firefly to a fast gallop, with eyes strained far ahead and his heart beating with agonized foreboding and savage rage. Soon over a distant clump of trees he could see the chimneys of Barbara’s home—his home, he thought helplessly—and perhaps those chimneys were all that was left. And then he saw the roqf and the upper windows and the cap of the lig columns unharmed, untouched, and he pulled Firefly In again, with overwhelming relief, and wondered at the miracle. Again he started and again pulled In when he caught sight of three horses hitched near the stiles. Turning quickly from the road, he hid Firefly la the underbrush. Very quietly he slipped along the path by the river, and, pushing aside through the rose bushes, lay down where un-

seen he could peer through the closely matted hedge. He had not long to wait. A white uniform Issued from the great hall door and another and another —and after them Barbara—smiling. The boy's blood ran hot—smiling at her enemies. Two officers bowed, Barbara courtested, and they wheeled on their heels and descended the steps. The third stayed behind a moment, bowed over her hand and kissed it. The watcher’s blood turned then to liquid Are. Great God. at what price was that noble old bouse left standing? Grimly, swiftly Er-‘ skine turned, sliding through the Pushes like a snake to the edge of he road along which they must pass. He would tight the three, for his life was worth nothing now. He heard them laughing, talking at the stiles. He heard them speak Barbara’s name, and two seemed to be bantering the third, whose answering laugh seemed acquiescent and triumphant. They were coming now. The boy had his pistols out, primed and cocked. He was rising on his knees, just about to leap to his feet and out into the road, when he fell back Into a siartled, paralyzed, inactive heap. Glimpsed through an opening in the

“He Fought Once Under Benedict Arnold—Perhaps He Is Fighting With Him Now.” bushes, the leading trooper in the uniform of Tjirieton’s legion was other than Dane Grey, and Erskine's brain had worked quicker than his angry heart. This was a mystery that must be solved before his pistols spoke. He rose crouching as the troojiers rode away. If Tarleton’s men were around he would better leave F'frefly where he was in the wood* for a while. A startle ’, gasp behind him made him wheel, pistol once more in hand, to find a negro, mouth wide open and staring at him from the mnd. “Marse Erskine!" he gasped. It was Ephraim, the boy who mid llil Barbara's white ponies out long, long ago. now a tall, muscular lad with an ebony face and dazzling teeth. “Whut you doin' hyeh, suh? Whar’ yo’ hoss? Gawd. I'se sutn’ly glad to see ’ lib.” Erskine p->iii!ed to an -tak. ‘•Right by that tree. Put him in the stable and feed him." The negro shook his head. “No, suh. I’ll take de feed down to him. Too maty redcoats inessin’ round heah. You tettali go In de back day—dey might see yuh.” “Wasn’t one of those soldiers who just rode away Mr. Dane Grey?” , The negro hesitated. “Yassuh." “What’s he doing In a British uniform?” The boy shifted his great shoulders uneasily and looked aside. “1 don't know, sub —1 don’t know nuttin’.” Erskine knew he was lying, but respected ids loyaltr. “Go tell Miss Barbara I’m here and then feed mr horse.” "Yassuh."

CROMWELL HAD HIS LIGHTER SIDE

It Is told of Oliver Cromwell, th** English leader and soldier, that he had a great love of fun. which he would indulge often at the expense nt others, according to the Impulse «>i the moment. An example of this trait Is shown In the following incident. Cromwell had a very beautiful daughter, and at the time be came into power in England one of his attendants took a fancy to this young lady. One day Cromwell went into his daughter’s room and was surprised to see hlspage on Ma knees making a declaration at his lore to his daughter. “What floes this mean?” demanded Cromwell. “May it please your worship." stammered the frightened page. “1 am in love with yonder waiting maid”—

Ephraim went swiftly and Erskhrn followed along the hedge and through the rose bushes to the kitchen door. Barbara, standing In the hall doorway, heard hjs step. ••Erskine!” she cried softly, and she came to meet him, with both hands outstretched, and raised her lovely face to be kissed. "What are you doing here?” “I am on my way to Join General Lafayette.” “But you will be captured. It Is dangerous. The country Is full of British soldiers.” “So I know,” Erskine said dryly. “When dl<t you get here?” “Twenty minutes ago. I would not have been welcome just then. I waited In the hedge. I saw you had company.” “Did you see them?” she faltered. “I even recognized one of them." Barbara sank Into a chair, her elbow on one arm, her chin in her hand, her face turned, her eyes looking outdoors. She said nothing, but the toe of her slipper began to tap the floor gently. There was no further use for indirection or concealment. “Barbara," Erskine said with some sternness, and his tone quickened the tapping of the slipper and made her little mouth tighten, “what does all this mean?*’ “Did you see,” she answered, without looking at him, “that the crops were all destroyed and the cattle and horses were all gone?” “Why did they spare the ’ouse?” The girt's bosom rose with one quick, defiant Intake of breath, and for a moment she held it “Dane Grey saved our home.” “How?” “He had known Colonel Tarleton In London and bad done something for him over there.” “How did he get in communication with Colonel Tarleton when he was an officer in the American army?” The girl would not answer. “Was he taken prisoner?” Still she was silent, for the sarcasm in Erskine’s voice was angering her. “He fought once under Benedict Arnold —perhaps he Is fighting with him now.” “No!” she cried hotly. “Then he must be a —” She did not allow bin> to utter the word. “Why Mr. Grey is in British uniform is his secret —not mine.” “And why he is here is—yours.” “Exactly!” she flamed. “You are a soldier. Learn what you want to know from him. You are ray cousin, but you are going beyond the rights of blood. I won’t stand it—l won t stand It—from anybody.” “I don’t understand you. Barbara— I don’t know you. That, last time it was Grey, you—and now—” He paused and. in spite of herself, her eyes flashed toward the door. Erskine saw It. drew himself erect, bowed and strode straight out. Nor did the irony of the situation so much as cross his mind —that he should be turned from his own home by the woman he loved and to whom he had given that home. Nor did he look back—else he might have seen her sink. s«>bldng. to the floor. When he turned the corner of the house Barbara's old mammy and Ephraim were waiting for him at the kitchen door. “Ephraim,” he said as he swung upon Firefly, “you and mammy keep a close watch, and if I’m needed here, tome for me yourself and come fast.” “Yassuh. Marse Grey is sutn’ly up to some devilmint no which side he fightin’ fer. I got a pal oveh ou the aige o’ de Grey pl. ntation an* she tel’ me dat Marse Dane Grey don’t wear dat white uniform all de time.” “What's that —what’s that?” asked Erskine. -- “No, suh. She say he got an udder uniform, same as yose, an’ he keeps it at her uncle Sam’s cabin an’ she’s seed him go dar in white an’ come out in our uniform, an’ al'ays at night, Marse Erskine— al’ays at night” The negro cocked his ear sud ienly: “Take to de woods quick, Marse Erskine. Horses cornin’ down the road.” But the sound of coming hoofbeats had reached the woodsman’s ears some seconds before the black man heard them, and already Erskine had wheeled away. And Ephraim saw Firefly skim along the edge of j. blackened meadow behind its hedge of low trees. “Gawd!” said the black boy, and he stood watching the road. A band of white-coated troone.-a was coming in a cloud of dust, and at tLe head of them rode Dane Grey. “Has Capt. Erskine Dale been here?” he demanded. Ephraim bad his own reason for being on the good side of the questioner. and did not even hesitate. “Yassuh—be jes’ lef! Dar he ?oes now!” With a curse urey wheeled his troopers. At that moment Firefly, with something like the waving flight of a bluebird, was leaping the meadow fence into the woods The black boy looked after the troopers' dust. “Gawd!” be said again, with a grin that showed every magnificent tooth In his head. “Jest as well try to ketch a streak o’ lightning.” And quite undisturbed be turned to ten the news to old mammy.
