I promised to help Alberta cut out her new dress. Can't you walk down in the evening, Anne, and come home with me?" "I might . . . since Fred Wright is away in town," said Anne with a rather too innocent face. Diana blushed, tossed her head, and walked on. She did not look offended, however. Anne fully intended to go down to the Dicksons' that evening, but she did not.
Now, with half a million people between Manitoba and British Columbia, the time had come to take the last step. And so in 1905 the Autonomy Bills, establishing the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan, were brought before the House of Commons by the prime minister. There were many controversial issues involved. How many provinces should be created?
In Canada a hundred thousand men were demanding a place in the first Canadian contingent of thirty-five thousand, now almost ready to sail. General Sam at Ottawa was being snowed under by entreating, insistent, cajoling, threatening telegrams. Already northern Alberta had sent two thousand men.
The stationmaster told us that this was the house, so we came here. We have never been in Monkshead, so we did not know the difference. Please pardon us." I had got off the watch by this time and laid it on the table, unobserved, as I thought. Alberta, not having the key of the bracelet, had not been able to get it off, and she sat there crimson with shame.
Just think of how tied down and horrible it must be for her out there in that desolate Alberta, with no neighbors at all for miles, and then only impossible people. I should think it would drive her mad. I must try to get her on the programme, too. She will at least be interesting, on account of her personality.
The sole object is to bring the Pacific grain trade to Portland. Portland is already a great wheat port. Will she get a share of Canada's traffic in bond to Liverpool? Candidly, she hopes to. How? By having Canadian barges bring Alberta wheat down the Columbia. And now, what is Canada doing? Canada is doing absolutely nothing.
Then deciding that there was nothing to be gained by beating about the bush she said earnestly, "I hope you will not think me meddlesome or presuming, but I came here this afternoon to talk with you about something that concerns a member of the freshman class. I refer to Miss Briggs, whom I am quite certain you know." "Miss Briggs," repeated Alberta Wicks, meditatively.
Where I live at Edmonton, the capital of the Province of Alberta, almost every day in the late winter we see girls starting off to the Peach River district, which lies to the north several hundred miles from a railroad. How do they travel? You could never guess, so I may as well tell you. They travel in a house a one-roomed house.
Now, is there anything else you want to know?" There was a sudden murmur of voices outside which silenced Emma immediately. Then Alberta Wicks, Mary Hampton and Kathleen West were ushered into the tent. "I am the Sphinx," began the far-away voice again in the mammoth head. "Ask me a question." Bowing to the newcomers rather coldly, Grace and Arline turned to leave the tent.
"They say the murdered brother walks through the house and moans," replied Alberta, shuddering slightly. "That's nonsense," said Elfreda bravely. Nevertheless, the idea was not pleasant to contemplate. "I don't believe in ghosts," she added. "I dare you to go into the room where the man was murdered," laughed Mary Hampton. "I'm not afraid," persisted Elfreda. "Prove it, then," taunted Mary.
