THE STORY

The Albany mail! Garth Guthrie thoughts were a medley of sunnlses. questions, hopes. ‘Letters from home! There would be little from his family -Ethel, that would bring cheer w an exiie's Christmas. But the letter which a girl on the moonlit shore of the Albany had promised to send him-had she remembered?

"You told them, Anne?" he asks the grinning squaw, proud in her best wool dress. her raven hair coquettish- ly circled by a iluza pink r1bb°n—=* gift of Garths cherished for ceremon- ies like the present.

"Ahab," chuckled the‘ faithful Cree. 'Dey come soon, now. Marie. she rub dem chil's face till dey shine lair de moon.’ ’ .

Garth paced the floor, his lean. dark lace beaming, in anticipation. Then laughter, giggles. shouts of chil- dren, followed by stern reprool in l man's voice, announced the arrival of the guests, the eight Savannes.

Garth and Shot simultaneously

Yvoinne!" he cried, fairly draEBlRZ the giggling and embarrassed children into the house. "Ah, Monsieur Etienne Savanna, friend of McDonald Hal Ha! is also urith us tonight."

With his audience seated, Garth proceeded to divide the gifts he hid ordered till; previous year from lower Canada. For each of the Clllldren W35 a ha; of candy, which was opened v.i:h wide-eyed curosity and grins of delight. And, as the sweet tooth of

illilill ll l: AR FERRY SERVICE m P. glslllln

The following article appeared re- cently in the Truro (N. S.) Citizen — A short time ago J. O. Hyndman, of Charlottetown, gave an address be-

. fore the Caledonian Club of that city, . taking as his subject "Prince Edward , Island and the Missing Link of the

Canadian Pacific Railway." In the course of a lengthy and in- teresting address, he said, in part:

“My second proposal .is that the I

Canadian Pacific build a railway branch from Tatamagouche harbor to Truro, approximately 25 miles, con- necting with their subsidiary, the Dominion Atlantic Railway at Truro, as well as the Canadian National Railways, and that the Canadian Pacific operate a modern ferry be- tween Tatamagcuche and Charlotte- town. a distance of about 30 miles, with adequate capacity for the carry- ing of passengers, malls and automo- biles for seven months of the year. This would replace the present Char- lottetcwn-Picwu service, a distance of 45 miles, and lor which a large Do- minion subsidy is paid.

"The present seridce consumes over four hours, whereas the proposed shortened route, with l. fastlboat, should not consume over two hours and make, at least, two round trips per day. It is possible that this pro- posed service could _be established and operated Jointly by the two rall- roads. This new steamship connect- ion would bring many advantages besides the shorter sea trip. It would put us in closer touch with the great sea port of Halifax."

Tatemagouche to P. E. I.

.F. H. Patterson, barrister, of Truro, ls much interested in the proposal to establish a ferry service between his native Tetamagouche and P. E. Island. '

In an interview with the Citizen- Sun, he said he had long heard of a proposal to establish a. oar ferry be- tween these points. About 30.or_ 40 years ago, he said, it was much agi- fated, and was suggested as more or less probable until the car ferry was put on at Point Borden. At one time provincial and federal goyernments had gone so far as to vote subsidies and various surveys were undertaken.

Mr. Patterson said that because of increased motor and tourist traffic

‘Poor old Clara," said the man aloud. “Poor, simple Clara! She can't see yet that it's brother Charlie who counts with Ethel, not I."

So Quarrler had had his revenge. Quarrler, her brother. It was not strange after the subbing he got. But she? What did Joan Quarrier think of the tale her brother had brought to Charles Guthrie?

Then he opened the two letters in the blue envelopes. One was dated a month earlier than the other and‘; he read that first.

"I imagine your life in France," ran the letter, "was similar to that of the last year on James bay. I have leani- ed much of what went on over there. Was it a French girl or an army nurse?"-

She had unwittingly hurt, him in the only way it was now possible for Ethel Falconer to reach the man who had once loved her. Army nurse! What had Ethel clone lor Canada to qualify her as critic of the women who had tolled end dared behind the lines. that stricken men-might live?

He read on: "Of course, Garth. this is your answer. I was willing to for- get the slight, the neglect, but when we learned how you had been living, my love died. To share your affec- tions with an ignorant, immoral squaw was asking a little too much, Garth."

he felt the time was not: rips io con- slder ‘whether a plan for the summer months merely that would involve cheaper, quicker and more convenient transportation from Halifax and the central and western parts of the province should not now be inves- tlgatecl. He pointed out that Halifax, Truro, Tatamagouche and Charlotte- town are almost in a straight line and said that the natural geograp- hical route from this part of the province is Truro to Tatamagouchc vla the Old Tatagmagouche Road, 23‘ miles; and then Tatamagouche t" Charlottetown by water, 35 mllt-s; total of only 63 miles. This route, ll: said, showed a substantial saving over other routes. ' '

The Original Route

The old original route to the Is’- lend, he sold, was via. Tatamagoucllc. It was established two centuries ago by the French and Indiansland was followed by the British colonists un- til the late 60's, when the railway was opened to Plctou. There then being no rail connections at Tatamag- ouche the steam boat service was trans- ferred from Brule to Plctou where it remained until the car ferry was put on at PointBolden.

At various times, he said, an agita- tion arose t ohavc the service restor- ed to Tatamagouche. but there were several obstacles. Ice conditions were not definitely known,- and before a all-year connection could be made at Tatamagouche a great deal of dred- ging would have had to be done.

A New Plan '

"These objections," he said, "have m PElEVBP-Cy to the plan which I am now advancing, which is that ‘a ferry build particularly for the carriage of motor cars should be put on dur- in! the season of open navigation be- tween Charlottetown and some point on Tatamagouche harbor. Doubtlcss to make the venture rcmuneratlve at first. a subsidy would be required; but if the three governments inter- ested could all be convinced of the advisability of the scheme. the con- tribution required from each would be small. If a little dredging ivel-c done, enough to remove the mud de- posit in some parts of the channel running from ‘the bar‘ to the govern. ment wharf at Tatamagcuche Vlllagg steamers of sufficient draft could berth there at any time during the “"011 of Oren navigation. The 01a Tatamagmlche 30nd. the straight and direct route from Tatamagouche $0 TFUPO. is already being reconstruct. ed and made into a first-class road. Last Fall the grading was completed Rm" ha" way. and it is anticipated that this smson is over the work will be Wmilleiud. At Truro this road ioined the main trunk roids to Am. hersst. Sydney and Halifax."

Mr. Patterson said that before further subsidies are granted by any Bflvcrnment he felt that there should be a complete investigation as to the "mlmrfillvc advantages of mill llna other routes. As far as transporta- “°“ ‘mm TillmI-Rouche to Truro for those who did not have cars was concerned, this b taken care of in the summer time by a bus service, he said.

"They were invented in Queen. El- “bath?! time." said the man who knows everything.

"Yol." commented another, "but "N? weren't discovered until the ‘ ntieth century."
