Raoul went on : ‘"For the past four days, a trusty man of mine has been coming over this wall at night, and searching the ruins until dawn, all round here. I myself searched here toâ€"day and yesâ€" terday in the early hours." Without giving the marduis time to express either dOubt or objection, Raoul continued : "But I‘m not joking," affirmed Raoul seriously. speaking with proper knowledge of my subject, basing my conclusions on facts, not theories. Every day sees millions of these stonesâ€"fireâ€" lJalls, agrolites, meteorites, fragments of dispersed planetsâ€"traverse space at a tremendous rate, ignite on their course, and fall to earth. They‘ve been picked up by the million in every shape and size. Every day there are tons and tons of them flying about.

This explanaâ€" tion occurred to me when Valthex acâ€" cused the shepherd of having shot a stone from his sling. It seemed to me impossible for that shepherd to have been there without being detected, but quite ‘possible that Elisabeth Hornain might have been struck by a stone, and that it was, in fact, the only plausâ€" ible explanation of her death."

There is a grave suspicion in the North that that is the crux of the matter. "It is less than six months ago that Hon. Wesley Gordon, speaking for the DominiOn government, referred to the north shore of Lake Superior as a ‘conâ€" tractors‘ paradise.‘ And he referred to it as such in no uncertain terms, with the added remark that not a dollar Of Canada‘s money ‘would be wasted on the transâ€"Canada project around the north shore of Lake Superior.

At Blind River, on May 16, speaking at a public meeting, when asked about the transâ€"Canada, Hon. Peter said "he did not know any more about the transâ€" Canada than a truck driver ...‘ which is probably correct. | ‘‘And now it is proposed to parallel the C.P.R. with a motor highway through this same Godforsaken counâ€" try, as though we did not have the history. the example and the experiâ€" ences of the C.P.R. to guide us in this colossal blunder to project a transâ€"Canâ€" ada motor highway through the same territory. i "It is announced that the Ottawa and Toronto governments are in agreeâ€" ment on the proposal to proceed at once with that portion of the transâ€" | Canada highway between Schreiber and White River, a distance of 125 miles along the rocky shore of Lake Suâ€" perior. To anyone who has travelled this route and,has an open mind onj the subject, the announcement is inâ€" conceivable. The location has many times been dubbed the graveyard of the C.P.R., and well it might be, for, outside of the Rocky Mountains it was the most expensive to construct, and still more expensive to operate than any other section of the great transâ€" continental railway system. It is 50 years since the C.P.R. lalasted its way through this territory, and in that 501 years, according to the last census of, Canada, only 2,000 souls, men, women { and children, now inhabit that 125 miles of territory, including the railway centres of Schreiber and White River. | Last week The Advance made ediâ€" torial reference to the suggestion that the transâ€"Canada highway had been approved from Schreiber to White River.
