THE COUNCIL GETS A MOVE ON

Old Aesop used to tell a fable entitled ‘‘The Traveller, the
wind and the sun.’’ It told how the elements wanted the travel-
ler to shed his cloak. So the wind blew with all his vigor. It was
allin vain. The more the wind blew the closer did the traveller
wrap his cloak about him. Then the sun tried a change of treat-
ment. He let his gentle genial rays fall upon the trayeller, who
first unloosened, then cast aside his cloak.

In Prince Rupert the fable has been repeated with a difference.
The City Council has been cajoled, implored, and pleaded with by
the News to ‘‘get a move on.’’ It has been all in vain. The more
we urged, the stolider they sat. It remained for Jack Frost to ac-
complish what we failed todo. Last night the Council got a move
on.

The long table at which the aldermen were wont to sit at
while in session has been moved over to the back of the hall. The
big red stove at which the Mayor was wont to warm himself has
been moved over nearer to the door. About five miles of stove-
pipe, more or less, cireumnavigates the room. The old order
changeth giving place to the new. The bewildered habitue, could
only gasp last night and murmur ‘‘Change (but without decay) on
every hand I see.’’

A RETROGRADE GOVERNMENT

All modern governments, save one, are raising taxation in
their populous district in order to develop the unpopulated districts.
The one exception is the Government of British Columbia. It is
raising taxation in the unpopulated districts in order to aggrandise
the capital and swell the sums that the Provincial Treasurer has
on deposit with the banks.

In the Queen Charlotte Islands last year the Provincial Gov-
ernment raised from its various sources of revenue a sum estimat-
ed to exceed $700,000. Allit returned to the people was a few
days work at election time, on the roads and trails. Ninety-five
per cent. of all it took from the Islands went to swell the Treasury.
Practically no attempt was made at development.

Business foresight would prompt a progressive government to
raise revenues in the cities in order to develop the wealth of the
Queen Charlottes. Ordinary fair play would prompt a government
to see that it placed back into the great work of developing the
potential wealth of the outer districts all the revenue that it raised
therein.

The simple and eloquent fact remains that the McBride Gov-
ernment pocketed nineteen-twentieths of al] the revenues it raised
on the Queen Charlotte Islands and entered upon no programme of
development. A small portion of the surplus thus raised will be
used to keep the press of the Province quiet, the rest will go to
swell the Treasury at Victoria to build a Provincial Museum at
Victoria, or the University at Point Grey and other works that are
intended to aggrandize the southern portion of the Province.

The government is deceivgd if it concludes from the silence of
its own press that the voters of the north are blind to the fact
that the government instead of nurturing and developing the dis-
trict is merely milking it for its revenues.

“I think there is no one like him 19
all the world. We are so happy at
homie that sometimes I fear it cannot
last. Yet, thank God, there is no ex:
cuse for such night-mare terrors.”

Mrs. Vansittart cooed in her gentle
way.

“Indeed you have my earnest good
wishes in that respect,” she said. |
“Do we not owe our lives to you? That)
is an excellent reason for gratitude,
if a selfish one. But, some day soon,
you will be getting married and leav
ing the parental roof.” F

“I do not wish to die an old maid,

“Were you in my place,” murmured}
her visitor, apparently thinking aloud)
rather than addressing Constance,)|
“you would not be fearful of misfor-
tune? You would not read an omen
of il] luck into this dramatic interrup:
tion of ali your plans? After many
years of widowhood I am about to bi}

steamers which cross the Atlantic
yearly be picked out for utter disas-
ter? It is a warning—a threat from

The unconscious bitterness of her
tone moved the girl to find words of)
consolation.

“I would not question the ways of
Providence in the least,” she said.)
“Surely you have far more reason for}
thankfulness than for regret.”

“Regret! I am not regretting. But
I bave gone through such trials thet

She moved nearer, as if driven by
uncontrollable impulse. Constance,
rot prepared for such an outburst, wa3
nevertheless deeply touched by this)
appeal for sympathy.

“I wish you all the joy and happ
mess which I am sure you deserve,”
she said, stooping to kiss the wan,
shrinking face held up to her.

Mrs. Vansittart burst into a parox
ysm of tears and tottered towards the
door.

“No, no,” she gasped, as Constance
caught her by the arm. “Do not come

CHAPTER XIL
PREPARATIONS

|

Pyne found Enid rosy-red and in-
clined to be tearful. The dying light
of day was still strong enough in the
service-room to permit these things
to be seen

“No bad news, I hope?” he inquired
though the sight of Stephen Brand,
seated at his desk and placidly writ-
ing, was reassuring.

The question steadied her to an ex-
tent.

“It is nothing of any consequence,” |
the said and darted past him. j

Brand looked up from his journal,

He smiled, though the American
thought there was a hint of pain in
his eyes.

“I am going to lose one of my girls,

he said. “Oh, no, this is not a loss by
death but by marriage. If I were a
Frenchman, I would describe it a3

gaining a son. Enid has j_st received |
what is tantamount to a proposal.”
“By flag-wagging?” Pyne was na-/
turally astounded. ;
“Yes. You would not expect one of
the people from the Chinook to be so
enterprising.” }
“I—don't—know,” said Pyne, punc
tuating cach word with a deliberate
nod. |
“Well, in any case, I would not have
forwarded the application after an}
acquaintance of eighteen hours,” ob |
served Brand, with equal Goliberar)

wl

“They're two powerful fine girls,” |
said Pyne, steering clear of the point, |
“They have just been telling me how |
It readg|
like a fairy tale.” i

“She was given to me by the winds
and waves, yet she is dear to me as
my own child. I shall miss her great-/
ly—if all goes wel) here.”

“I've cottoned on to both of them
something wonderful. But, if 1 am
not intruding into private affairs, |
how comes it that Miss Enid is being
telegraphed for? Of course I can)
understand the gentleman being in a
hurry. 1! would feel that way myself

If the conditions were favorable.”

Pyne could be as stolid as a red
Sndian when the occasion demanded
it. Brand found no hint in his face of
the hidden thought in his words.

“Have they said anything to you of

man named Stanhope?” inquired the
sahthonadbhebaes resuming the entry,

“I've been theorizing,” said Pyne |
“It occurred to me that this light isn’ |

He looked up at the lamp an

Then he approached nearer to Pyn
and said in an intense whisper:

his eyes blazing. He shook as one in
the first throes of fever. He seemed

| justice of his decree.

“Yes I figured it out
too,” said Pyne. “It’s queer, isn’t it,
to be in such a fix when there's all
sorts of help within call, so to speak,
We might as well bein a mine closed
up by an explosion. And, I'l) tell you
what—lI'm real sorry for you.”

Brand, collapsing under the strain,
sank inte a chair.

“It is an awful thing,” he moaned
“to condemn so many men, women
and children, to such a death.”

A spasm of pain made Pyne’s lip:
tremulous for an instant. He had for
gotten Elsie and Mamie.

But his voice was fully under con
trol when he spoke again.

“You can count on me in the deal

that way,

| in all but one thing,” he said.

The older man looked up fiercely.
What condition could be imposed in
the fulfilment of a duty so terrible?

“I am here by chance,” went on
Pyne. “One of your daughters may
have told you that’ Mrs. Vansittar
came from New York to marry my
uncle. Anyhow you would know sh
was dear to him by his message to
day. She is sort of in my charge, and
i can’t desert her. It’s hard luck, as
don’t care a cent for her. She's the
kind of woman old mén adore—fascin
ating, bird-like creatures—when the
cage is gilded.”

Brand sprang to his feet and raced
up to the trimming-stage. When hig
hands were on the lamp he felt sure
of himself. It gave him strength dun
ing the hurricane and it would
strengthen him now,

“There can be no exceptions,” hq
said harshly. Pyne waited until thq
lighthouse-keeper rejoined him.

“I ought to have puf my propositiog

Bfterwards,” he said. “Constance and
Enid will join you here when you say
the word, but | will be on the other
side of the barricade.”

“Nonsense!” cried Brand. “Yoy

chance that is given you. You saved
all these people once. Why should
you die uselessly?”

“What! Suppose it pans out thaj
way. Suppose we live a couple of
weeks and escape. Am I to face th¢

Brand closed his eyes in sheer

out a vision. }

wasted a lot of time in hard thinking.” |

Brand had to scheme that night to
reach the store-room unobserved.

| The Falec-u, steaming valiantly to her

observatiot: post near the buoy, aided
him considerably. He permitted the
night -vatch to gather in the service
room ® ailst he supplied the men with
tobacco, and stationed the officer of
the gallery to observe the trawler in
case she showed any signal lights.

for eighty-one people gave twenty:
seven hungry meals for three. He
ought to have taken more, but he set
his teeth and refused the ungrateful
task.

It is oft-times easy for a man te de

“A week!” he murmured. “Perhaps
ten days! That is all. Pray Heaven

I may not go mad before they die!”

Pyne, watching the light, knew that
Brand had succeeded. The Falcon
went; gradually the waich dispersed.

“Where is the hoard?” asked Pyne,
making believe that they were playing
some comedy.

“Hidden in the kitchen lockers. [|
could obtain only distilled water.
You must persuade the girls in the
morning that something went wrong
with the apparatus.”

As opportunity offered, Brand trans
ferred the tins to the lockers of the
service-room. Pyne, who missed noth-
ing, shook his head when it became
evident that the last consignment was
safely stored away.

“Not much there,” he commented.

“I will take no more!” was the
fierce cry.

“You ought to.”

“I refuse I tell you!

“Any chance of a row in the mort

“I acted my role well. I built up the
vacancies with empty tins.”

“My sakes!” cried Pyne pityingly,
“you deserve to win through.”

“I think my heart will break,” mut
tered Brand. “But look! The lamp!
It needs adjusting.”

Indeed, a fresh gale seemed to ba
springing up. The wind-vane having
gone, the index was useless. It was
not until a burst of spray drenched
the lantern that Brand knew of a
change taking place. The wind was
backing round towards the north.

The barometer fell slightly. It por.
tended either more wind and dry
weather, or less wind accompanied by
rain. Who could tell what would hap
pen? Fair or foul, hurricane or calm,
all things seemed to be the ungovern-
able blundering of blind chance.

When the rock was left in peace
after the fall of the tide, Pyne prom-
ised to keep the light in order if
Brand would endeavor to sleep until
day-break. Rest was essential to
him. He would assuredly break down
