Frank Smith, formerly principal of the Till sonburg public school:—Nothing more attractive has ever been given at a High School commencement than the double sextette, "Tell Me. Pretty Maiden," performed under the direc tion of Mr. W. Frank Smith. Six of the girls were in male attire, blazers, light trousers and sport hats, the other six in feminine apparel of the daintiest. The number was a musical dialogue of question and answer, some of the lines being sung in unison. Motiions and dance steps were fitted to the words of the song, and the fresh young voices, the youthful faces and the graceful form* posturing in dainty at titude. made of the the entire number something most alluring.

Owing to the sticky condition of the ice. combination play was practically impossible, but both team* worked hard, and there was not much to choose between them. In the first period the visitor* seemed to hive the best of the play and the local* could not hit their stride. About halfway through the first period "Red" Ander son, received a very bad cut in hi* leg, which eventually took fifteen stitches to dose. The visitors scored twice in this frame. The local* seemed to take a new lease of life in the second and began playing hockey. Their first goal was disputed but was allowed to stand and the second was a clean score by Andrews. Barrett missed several good chances, with no one to beat but the goalie, the latter making some wonder ful save*. The visitor* scored one in second period. Thq last period began with the local* out to win. and about <nidwav through the period they tied the score and in a few minute* went into the lead, but the visitors came back strong and tied it up again, and shortly after scored the winning goal on a fluke shot from almost centre ice. Morris Barkey, Buffalo defense man, and a former local boy, received a penalty in this period and refused to leave the ice, but soon changed his mind. Altogether the fan* had nothing to kick about on the brand of hockey displayed. The score by period* was 2-03-23-4.

This has been found neces sary to keep pace with their increasing business, attendant to some extent with the popularity of the basement bargain department, since its opening a year ago. An open oak stairway has been built from the main floor to the new base ment department, which gives the Northway-Rush Company an addition al 2000 square feet of floor space. A new floor ha* been laid, the ceiling and walls arc of pure white, and the department has been newly wired and fitted up with modern fighting fixtures. Windows at the front and rear give partial daylight and splendid [ventilation. Like the rest of the build- ting the entire basement is steam- heated. _This new department will give : the Northway-Rush Company one of the finest basement store* in the province, and the opening is being celebrated by giving the public a full week of very special values.

A* it is customary in such cases, Mr. Justice I Kelly gave the jury a list of questions to answer. In answering these, the jury found that there was no negli gence on the part of either defendant but found that the plaintiff was negli gent and might have avoided the acci dent by not pulling on the rope which broke and caused him to fall. The evidence in the case was hea^l on Monday afternoon and Tuesday are morning. The jury brought in its ver- . ■“ diet Tuesday afternoon. W.

Card ot Thanks Noteworthy Tree In our Klondyke correspondence this week mention is made of a white oak tree that was recently cut on the Andrew Gearing farm, that pro duced a piece of timber 60 feet long, and measured 12 inches at the top. It was shipped to Halifax and is to be used for a ship mast. The question naturally arises, how did the tree escape the wood-cutter* all these years, and what age was the tree?

(2) Resolved, that the Norfolk County Prohibition Union ask the Social Service Council of Canada and the board of Social Service and Reform of the Churches of Canada, to prepare a petition to which thc signatures of church members and others could be attached, urging the Dominion Gov ernment to take action along the lines suggested in thc report of thc Customs Commission. (3) Resolved, that the executive committee be empowered to consider ways and means of raising money for purchase of space in local press for temperance education. (4) Resolved, that the convention express our sincere appreciation of thc kindness of the Salvation Army in opening up thc Citadel for thc annual meeting of the Prohibition Union. Note: Since the above was prepar ed for the press, word of the sudden passing of Mr. Frank Riddle has been eceivcd The Prohibition Union noruns the loss of a third outstanding worker within the year. The annual meeting of the Norfolk Prohibition Union was held in the Salvation Army Citadel, Sitncde, on Monday, the 20th. In spite of stormy weather a very creditable attendance manifested the sustained interest of the worker* througout the county. Among the officers reporting, Mrs. E. D. Heath, vice-president, outlined the encouraging nature of the work being done by thc W.C.T.U.,’and the keei^ interest shown in thc special meetings held recently in Norfolk and Haldi- mand—at Canfield. Caledonia. Dunn- ville, Wilsonville, Simcoe, Tccterville, etc. The scientific information com piled by Miss McCorkindale was being made available for scholars in our schools—a work the effect of which can scarcely be computed. Thc treasurer's report revealed the healthy condition of thc Union, which, although just providing a balance, showed a great amount of activity throughout thc year. There being a total expenditure of $572.56. Wc enter the new year unecumbercd. Rev. Mr. Currie, field- secretary of Toronto, spoke, outlining thc condi tions of thc work throughout the province. Thc fcaulrc emphasized is education. A special worker is be ing appointed to give entire time to the visiting of day schools, with the consent of thc Minister of Education. In regarad to Government ContnjJ thc speaker claimed that thc real situa tion is not understood by those who said that it was a success. It certainly was not a success from thc temperance point of view. An alarming increase m jail population and convictions for drunkenness prove this. It is a farce to talk of the province “controlling” brewers and distillers and exporation —the province has little power to con trol her where the evils of thc traffic so tragically reveal themselves. After allowance ha* been made for thc .cx- liorlation of $24,000,000 worth of liquor it is clear that our people con sumed in Canada last year $54,000,000 worth of alcoholic beverage*. An alarming increase is noted in accidents attributable to thc use of liquor, al though in the nature of thc case, the fact* are hard' to tabulate here, as many are prosecuted for reckless driv ing who might have been charged with being drunk in charge of a car. Mr. Wilson's bill for beer by thc glass will not likely get far this year, but un doubtedly it will be heard from again at a later dale, a* thc traffic is de termined lo press for every advantage it can secure.

Nor are these the only cases which have been dealt with since 1918. Poland and Czechoslovakia were in volved in 1923. East Prussia and Lithuania in thc same year. Finland and Russia.

Many deaths from tuberculosis occur each year. Putting these two statements to gether, it is evident that cither the cases arc not being discovered early or they are not being properly treated. There arc no secrets in the medical trofession, and so thc physicians in one place have the same knowledge as ■hysicians elsewhere, but thc physi cians cannot help the person who docs tot come to him. Those who follow our advice and have a complete physical examination once a year, give their family physi cian an opportunity to discover Tuber culosis, Cancer, or other diseases at heir earliest and most curable stage. Those Uho have not followed this ad vice should know something about thc earliest signs of Tuberculosis, so that hey may recognize them and secure trotter advice rigt away. Not everyone with thc following syniptons has Tuberculosis, but thc ircscncc of one or more of them is sufficient to arouse suspicion and to send the person to his family physi cian to find out the cause. Delay means losing the opportunity for cure and, at thc same time endangers thc lives of others. Any cough which persists for a month or more is suspicious. Anv cough accompanied by a slight [ever, particularly if it recurs, is not to be disrgarded. A general feeling of not being well with or without thc loss of strength or weight, should always be investi gated. Blood spitting is often an early iymptom. It frequently occurs as thc first symptom in persons apparently well. Continued upset of digestion, parti cularly if accompanied by a cough, also loss of weight require investiga tion.

A* we at this time think upon the life of our Lord and especially of His suffering for us, help us to give ourselves anew to Him in full surrender. Amen." SCRIPTURE Math. 6:1-14; Luke 23:32-38. MEDITATION Luke 23;34: ^Then said . Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." These words from the cross constitute the greatest example of forgiveness this world has ever known. They have inspired many other examples of forgiveness in the lives of Christian people but such we Jesus, example* would have been impossible without the indwelling Spirit of Jesus Christ—the Spirit which first prompt ed these golden words. In our lesson we have the precept of Jesus regarding forgiveness, and in our text we have Jesus in the act of putting His own precept into effect, which reminds us that precept without example is of little worth. In our text wc have not onjy a supreme example of the forgiv ing spirit, but also an example of the excusing spirii. Jesus put the very best construction possible upon the action* of Hi* enemies when he attri buted their hatred to ignorance. How much of the sin of humanity—the in justice, the cruelty, the oppreision, is due to ignorance I There wa* *ome excuse for ignorance in the day* of- Jesus, but how much excuse for ignorance in a Christian land in the year 1928? There is great hope for us in these word* of Jesus, for if He could, and would forgive those who were crucifying Him, we may be sure that He will be equally willing and anxious to forgive us our transgres sions against Him. ■ HYMN “Depth of mercy I Can there'be Mercy still reserved for me?

A large number of the members and friends of the Brotherhood and Unity Bible Class of St. Pauls United Church, assembled in the banquet room of the church last Thursday eve ning for a joint social function, which proved to be of exceptional interest. With John VanLoon. president of the Brotherhood, and Will Kelly president of the Unity class, as associate chair men, a splendid program of Irish and Scotch selections was given by Miss Russell, Miss M. EUi*. Miss H. Tres tain, Lewis Sinden, Miss E. Reynolds, and a quartette comprising Mr*. H. Brady, Miss R. Thompson, Jack Hazel) and F. E> Aldrich. Then followed the chief event of the evening, a debate upon the subject: “Resolved, that the Irish make better Canadian Citizens than the Scotch," with Mr*. A. Brampton and Mr*. M. Weatherwax for the affirmative, and Alex. Reynolds and Roy Crandall supporting the negative. Miss Mitchell, Mr. Wight man. and Rev. A. W. Hone risked their lives as judges. The debate consisted of glowing and eloquent eulogies of the physical, men tal, and spiritual excellencies of the natives of the land* of the shamrock and thistle until those present who were neither Irish nor Scotch were prone to blush for very shame of their delinquency. Manifestly, neither of these race* wa* “born to blush unseen, or waste it* sweetness on the desert air." The Scotch representatives, true to the national characteristic of mak ing the most of every opportunity, tried to exercise undue influence upon the judge* by appearing in kilts, as one of them »aid, at the grave risk of contracting “Knee-monia," The judges, with true Irish courtesy and tact, awarded the "decision to the ladies on style, and the gentlemen on point*. Refreshments, featuring Irish and Scotch dishes, were served from tables decorated with the respective national emblem*. ~~ The social committees of these two organizations are to be congratulated upon the success of their efforts. In loving memory of a dear wife and mother, Mrs. Alex. Duff, Corinth, who died one year ago today, March 1st. 1927. ' Just one year ago she left us, Just one year ago today. All our home-light seemed to vanish When her spirit, fled away. When the gentle heart ceased beating, And we laid her down to rest, With our tears upon her pillow, And her sweet babe on her breast. To our aching hearts so often Comes the question, Why, oh why Must the young, the good, the useful Be so early called to die? Why must tender wife and mother Leave the charge which God had given? .Surely for a little longer Earth must need her more than heaven. Yet our vision is but mortal. And our God, with purpose.true, For the good of those who love Him Ever keeps the end in view. It may be that over yonder Waited some sweet ministry Which she could not do while cum bered With this frail mortality. Three dear children, teuder objects Of her care so true and kind. Husband, sister, friends, who loved her, She has left us all behind. But perchance, as guardian angel. When in dancer or in pain. All unseen, her earth-freed spirit May return to us again. She has left us, but her influence Must live on through coming years, Other lives must bear the fruitage Of her labors and her prayers. Her pure spirit like a mantle On some other soul will fall.

Death of Mrs. F. M. Higgins The Bracebridge Gazette of Febru ary 23, records the death of Mr*. F. M. Higgins, a niece of C. E Graves, John Ostrander, Mrs. Goodsell Wilson, Mrs. O. E. Twiss and Mrs. L. Sinden, of Tillsonburg, as follows: The town was shocked on Monday night when it became known that Mr*. Fred. Higgins had passed away. She had only returned from Toronto the night before and many friends were rejoicing over her recovery from a nerv ous condition since last fall. She spent the winter in Toronto with her mother- in-law, Mrs. John R. Higgins, for a change and rest. Her condition gradually improved, seemingly, so when her husband re ceived word last week from her about coming home, he went down Saturday, returning Sunday night. Monday morning she was feeling well and helped prepare the dinner. In the afternoon a weak spell came over her and her sister, Mrs. Marshall, tele phoned for help. From then until her death at 9 p.m. she grew gradually weaker, apparently her heart giving out. The deceased, whose maiden name was Ina Graves, was in her 36th year. She was born at Tillsonburg. Ont., the youngest child of Mr. George Graves and the late Mrs. Graves. Miss Ina Graves came to Brace bridge to take the position as book keeper for the late W. W. Kinsey and for some time held this responsible position, a credit to the firm and to her self. On New Year's Day. 1918, she be came the bride of Mr. Fred. Higgins. Always a general favorite in town, her sudden death has cast a gloom, many friends regretting the passing. Besides her husband, left to mourn her loss is the only child, Betty, her sis ter, Mrs. George Marshall of Brace bridge, a brother, Mr. T. L. Graves of Blair, Ont., and her father, Mr. George Graves of Simcoe, Ont. To the bereaved one* every sym pathy is extended in their their hour of sadness. Death of P. H. McEwen The death of P. H.

A number of t Port Dover Junior O.HA six played a return game with the local Juniors at the Electric rink test Friday evening in an effort to even up foe the defeat suf fered on their own ice a few nights ago, but were unsuccessful in their quest a* the score stood 8-3 in favor of Tillson burg when the final gong sounded. The visitors have a snappy bunch of player* and fast skater* but had a hard job penetrating thr local defense. Just four minute* after the bell. Cowell went the length of the rink to fool Wallick on a clever fake shot and to register the first goal of the game. Wallick had a busy session the next few minutes making several fine saves and sal on tbe puck finally and Hicks scored num ber two from the scrimmage in 11 min utes. Directly from the face off An drews scored on a pretty solo effort on a hot shot that completely fooled Wallick in goal. Somers was then called upon to make several spectacu lar saves and finally after 15 minutes of K McDonald scored on a rebound i Misener's stick for the first goal for the Port. Just at the final bell Ryerse notched number two from the scrimmage in front of the goal. The second period opened with Tillsonburg playing a very aggressive game and Haney scored in two minutes after car rying the puck the length of the ice and Hick* repeated on a rebound in the next minute. Eleven minutes later Corbett and W. Anderson went through with a fine piece of team work and Anderson scored on the rebound from Corbett’s shot. Anderson repeated in a minute on a lone effort but the goal was not allowed. Referee Brown claim ing he rang for an offside before the goal was scored. At this period Som ers was making some hair-raising saves in goal. Corbett picked up a loose Click behind hi* own net just before the ell. and went through for number seven. The final period opened with the Port Dover boy* pressing very hard for a counter and after about five min ute* they claimed the Puck went through the net but the referef did not allow the goal. Thing* were warming up and Red Anderson wa* sent to the ice box for a rest became his' hands started on a boxing encounter but no one was hurt in the little affray staged in the corner of the rink. His brother Doug was now playing the game of the season and skating rings around the Port Sextet and Corbett came through on another solo flight for the final coun ter of the evening. In the last five min utes Port Dover put their entire team up front and Somers dropped on the puck and when he came to three play er* were on top helping him to salt it, but the visitor* failed to get it by in the scrimmage. The game was free of |H".aldo, only two being served and he local* drawing both of them. The team* were:Port Dover—Goal, Wallick; defense, Silverthorne, C. Mummery; centre. G.

But before giving up to chronic dys pepsia, just try the effect of a little Bisurated Magnesia—not the ordinary commercial carbonate, citrate or milk, but pure Bisunrted Magnesia which you can obtain from practically any drug gist in either powder or tablet form. Take a teaspoonful of the powder or four tablets with a little water after your next meal and see what a differ ence this makes. It will instantly neu tralize the dangerous, harmful acid in the stomach, which now causes your food to ferment, and sour, making gas. wind, flatulence, heartburn and the bloated or heavy, lumpy feeling that seems to follow most everything you eat.

Montreal, March 1.—The phenomenal record of the Sun Life Assurance Com pany Is an inspiration to all Canadians. Its income of $102,000,000 is already equal to the total revenue of the Government of Canada in the year 1910, and $38,000,000 is certainly an amazing sum to have earned as profit in one year. Not many corporations anywhere can report such figures. The President’s intimate, practical comments at the annual meeting explaining how these huge profits were made were illuminating. Of even greater moment, however, were his statements regarding the danger that this great Canadian institution may pass from Canadian control. Some months ago Mr. Macaulay referred to the activity of Wall Street in the buying of Sun Life stock, and cautioned policyholders and shareholders of the menace it involved to an institution.which was founded and developed by Canadians and which has obtained its phenomenal growth under Canadian management. Sub sequent events have justified these misgivings, and at the meeting today the Erst public intimation was given that the Sun Life directors are seeking legislaton at the present session of Parliament which is intended to effectively forestall this danger. Precaution. to Mamtaia th. Company Canadian in Charac tw in concluding his address to the shareholders and policyholders the President made the following reference to the matter :— "There is but one cloud on our hori zon. Our very prosperity has created a remarkable demand for our capital stock. We desire to ensure that this great company shall always remain strictly Canadian in its control and in particular that its investments shall never come under Wall Street domina tion. A bill which wc have introduced into Parliament will be submitted for your approval. If it be passed, it will give us the protection we so much need, and 1 know we can rely on the whole hearted sympathy and support, not only of our stockholders and policyholders here present, but of our army of policy holders throughout the country." The meeting unanimously approved of the measure in question. How im portant and how vital to Canadians are the interests at stake is disclosed in the report submitted to the annual meeting of the Company. • In moving the adoption of the report, President Macaulav said:— "You gentlemen have become so ac customed to our presenting every year a statement surpassing all previous records that you come prepared to hear another report of that description. I am quite sure, however, that not one of you. in his most optimistic mood, ex pected a report so favorable as that which you now have. Our record for 1927 is indeed a remarkable one. Let me touch on the main features:— Ro«narkabla Growth, Strength and Profits “The new Assurances completed i amounted to $328,000,000. an increase ; of over $62300.000. "The amount in force at the dose of ■ the year had risen to $1,487,000,000. < and at the present moment-is well over $1300.000.000. -The income exceeded $102,000,000. an increase over the previous year of $23300.000. To me. this is very impressive. Not only has this item passed the one hundred million mark, but the increase alone is equal to what was out total income but eight years ago. which had been ac cumulated by forty-nine years of strenuous effort. A life company whh a total income no greater than our increase would be an important corporation. “The assets have increased by $56.- 000.000, and now exceed $400,000,000, "But the most wonderful of all these wonderful figures is the amount earned as profit—$38300,000. How great this figure is may be judged from the Jact that the earnings of the previous year, in which we so rejoiced, were $20,500,000. It would be hardly reasonable to assume that our earnings of future years will continue on such a tremendous scale, and we have therefore set aside a large part of this sum to provide foe future contingencies. A Cel Sorphu and Contmgoncy Fund “Our securities have been valued on a very conservative basis. i>ut from eVen those moderate values we have set aside another $5.000 000 to provide for market fluctuations, making the total deduction under this heading $10,000,000. . “We have also set aside tne following amounts:— , ' “A further $1300.000 for unforeseen contingencies, raising the fund to $12300.000; $500,000 to provide for pos sible greater longevity of annuituants, raising that item to $2,000,000; and $1300,000 to increase our reserves on tropical business; besides writing off another $1,000,000 on our Head Office and other buildings. “We have distributed $11,100,000 in profits to our policyholders, and have also set aside $6,200,000 to cover profits accrued on policies. “After providing for aB these amounts, we have added $11,000,000 to our undivided surplus, raising that sum from $34300,000 to $45300300.

And, of all the profits made in the participating branch, the policyholders get ninety- five per cent. "1 would not have you suppose that we ever speculate. We do not. We, of course, do not hesitate to sell bonds or other fixed-interest securities when they rise to such premiums that the yield is no longer satisfactory, but when we buy a stock we buy for per manent investment, we buy to keep, and we never sell merely because the market value may have risen to a high figure. We have, however, had an epi demic of security redemptions, and as a result we have the $5.(XX).000 of real ized profit High Intervet Rat. E^w-L With No Arraar. “Even the normal earnings of a life company depend very largely on the rate of interest it can obtain on its in vestments. The current rate of inter est has been steadily dropping for years, and there is every indication that it will continue to drop—for how long we cannot tell The outlook tor investors in bonds and mortgages is not encouraging. That fact causes us no anxiety. We have enlisted many large groups of the brainest, most ex perienced. most energetic and most successful men on the continent to work for us to maintain our interest earnings. We get their \co-operation by becoming stockholders in the out standing basic corporations of the country, so that we share in all tbe profits that they make. The dividends which we receive on our stock holdings are already two millions more than were payable on the same stock* when we bought them. Our interest account of course. include* al»o our dividend receipt*, and our record i» illuminating. In 1921 the average r»«e earned by us was 67 per cent.; in 1923 it was 620 per cent.: in 1924. 638 pH cent; m 1925, 6.41 per cent.; in 1926. 669 per cent; and in 1927, if we were.to use the same basis of calculation as in previous years, the rate would be 631 per cent. We. however, do not wish to show such a high rate, and as wc always make a charge of 5 per cent, against our inter est earnings for investment expenses, you Will note that we are quoting only the net rate, 6.47 per cent., after de ducting that investment expense. The falling rate of interest has no terrors for us. “The quality of our securities ntay be judged by the fact that not one dollar of interest or dividend on any bond, preferred or common stock listed in our assets is In arrears for even one day. "The announcement, however, that will be received with the greatest en thusiasm is that for the eighth consecutive year we have increased the scale of profit payments to otxr policyholders. The basis of distribution for 1928 will cal! for nearly $900,000 more than would the basis of last year. Profit* te Policyhakten Un.xc.lkd in th.

Braeme 1 CHAPTER I I The time was the close Of a bright, warm day in June; the place is a little toarlor in the most picturesque cottage to be found on the estate of Bnrnmar; the scene a strange one, the first that lived in the Memory of Lady Hutton’s ward, and the one that influenced her whole life. There seems at times little or no haramony between Nature and man. Outside the cottage, the bonny woods of Brynmar were full of brightness and beauty of summer. The golden sunbeams lingered almost tenderly on the tall green trees; the wild flowers gave forth a rich tribute of rare per fume; the birds sung gayly, and the busy bees hummed from flower to flower, gathering sweet honey from Kir fair blossoms. In the shade of wood there was a deep silence, un broken save by the rippling of the little brook and the faint rustle of the leaves—a summer evening such as poets sing of, a golden flush of color, a glory of perfume and harmony. Inside tho; cottage was a scene that told of the deepest human woe. The !>eauty of sunbeam and flower could not touch it. There was sorrow which noth ing human could soften or alleviate. In vain the roses and jasmine peeped in at the bright windows, and bent their fair heads as tough in sympathy. In vain the summer breeze came in laden with the fragrance' of the hawthorn and the new mown hay; in vain birds sung and flowers bloomed; in vain did the sweet voices of Nature seem to whisper of love and hope; it was all in vain, for a human heart was reaking their, from excess of sorrow and woe. It was a strange scene. The parlor was bare and poorly furnished; no carpet, no pictures, no books, nothing that told of comfort; stern, dread poverty was shown in the few articles of furniture; in a small chair near .the center of the room sat a lady magni ficently dressedr costly velvets and rich silks swept the cottage floor. She was in the very prime of life, a tall, stately, well-formed figure, a clearcut, calm, patrician face, bearing the im press of many troubles. No one ever called lady Hutton beautiful, but in the exquiste refinement of every feature, in the expression of the clear eyes, and the smiles that at rare in tervals lighted her face, there was a charm deeper than that of vivid color ing or perfect form. Her dark-brown liair was plainly braided, her dress, in its simple elegance, was perfection. She looked what she was, a thorough English gentlewoman, calm, elegant, and refined. If any storm of pas sion had crossed her quiet face, there was no trace of it now; if scorn, or hate had ever dwelt in that quiet heart, they were all dead. She seem ed as one who looks out upon the world, yet takes little interest in it. Far different irom the calm, passion less lady, was the beautiful woman who half knelt, half crouched upon the floor,-and covered with hot. bitter tears, the white soft fingers of a little child. A waving mass of rich golden brown hair fell over her shoulders in splendid confusion and disorder; the face, though deathly pale and stained with tears, was a most beautiful one. There was a supple grace in every line of her figure, a dignity even in her self abasement, yet Magdalen Hurst was but a simple villager, owing none of her rare beauty to noble birth or high descent. She had not thought of her beauty. If ever woman’s face looked as if her heart were broken. Magdalen Hurst’s looked so now. Passionately, wistfully, she kissed the child’s hands and buried her face on the little head—kissed her as though she hungered and craved for love— kissed her with all the warmth of affection and the passion of despair. “My little Hilda," she cried, “look at me; let me carry your sweet face in my heart; look at me, darling." The little one raised her wondering eyes to the white wistful face, and there was a strong resemblance be tween mother and child. Both had the same beautiful violet eyes, the mother's hair was golden brown, but the child's pretty curls were of pure Cle gold; the same delicate, charming itures, the same white brow and arched red-lips. The two gazed at each other, the mother with difficulty refraining from tears, the child wond ering what all this sorrow meant. •"I am half sorry I came,” said Lady Hutton.. “You will unfit yourself for your journey, Magdalen.". “I could not have left without see ing her,” said the woman, pleadingly. "Oh, Lady Hutton, can you not tell what it is to have your heart torn in two, as mine is? I must give up my husband or my child. He is in sorrow, in exile, and in want. She will have a home and a mother. I must go to him; he needs me most; yet death itself would be less bitter than leav ing my child.” "Still.” said Lady Hutton, “as you cannot have both, I think you arc act ing wisely. Hilda will have everything to make her happy with me." “I know that, my lady," sobbed the woman. “I know it, or I would not leave her. I do not fear for her, but my heart aches for my little child. I shall feel the clasp of her arms around my neck, I shall feel her warm, soft lips on my face, I shall hear her voice and listen for her footsteps. My life wil be empty and dark without her." “Choose for yourself," said Lady Hutton, quietly. “If you wish to alter our arrangements, there is time to do so." “Do not torture me, my lady," cried he poor mother. “You know I must go to him. In lives such as yours there come no sorrw such as in mine. Can you not understand what it is to ook vour last, perhaps, in life upon your own child?"quiver, as of sharp pain, crossed he lady's calm face for one instant. "I can understand it," she replied, gently; "and that is why I brought Hilda here. Believe me, Magdalen, shall act by her as though she were say own." The woman made no reply. With every moment that passed her face seemed to grow whiter and sorrow leeper; she clasped the child in’ her arms as though nothing but death ould ,,irt them. "My own child!” she murmured; Tiy own little child! I nursed her, lov- d her, cared for her. I would have hicldcd her with my life, and I am 1 Hiking at her for the last time. Oh. xiy lady, change your phn. Say, if I return 1 may claim her. How can I ivc without her? How can I die? What answer can I make the Great Judge when He asks me for my child? "You arc only doing what you de cided yourself was for the best," said -ady Hutton. “I can not change my plans; they are founded on common ense. If for fifteen or twenty years 1 educate your daughter, and she becomes a refined and delicate lady, you would not surely wish to drag her down again to your level, remember ing what that level is?""No," replied the woman, shuddering as with deadly fear, "anything, rather han that." “You are not the first" continued -ady Hutton, in her cold passionleu .voice, “whose life has been wrecked at its outset; others have had the ame troubles, perhaps even greater, -ife is ended for you. The cloud that has fallen over it is a dark one—no ight can penetrate it. Let your child ive and be h appy, as she never could be with you. Do you think, after iften years spent as my daughter, that it would be fair to ask her to return o such a home as yours? Would it ot be cruel and unjust? Be brave for ter sake, Magdalen! You have your- elf decided where your duty lies." “I know,” said the poor mother, ilaintively; “one way or another, my heart must break." “You fancy so." said Lady Hutton: one cart bear much, yet live on. •filda will' be happy and well cared or; if she lives she will grow up a icautiful accomplished lady; she will »e my ward and my heiress; she will have wealth and position; she will narry well, and live honored and .stcemed. Yet you would have her xchangc all this for poverty and hamc.” “But, my lady," said the woman, “he nay alter, he may repent, and then—’’ “Hush." said Lady Hutton; “I believe it is easier to change the copard’s spots than to reform a eally bad man. See, I brought the noncy, Magdalen; now, tell me. is here anything more 1 can do for you? )o not ask me to alter my conditions. can not do so. If I take Hilda, it is or life; and I exact from you a olemn promise that you will never seek icr again, never ask for her, but emember always, that for her own good you have parted with her until you meet in another world." Magdalen Hurst clasped the little child still more tightly in her arms. Her lips lingered lovingly on the fair little face, the golden curb, and the sweet lips. “My darling will be a lady," she said, "a grand lady; she will have dresses and rare jewels; she will be rich and honored; but my heart will be empty, and she will have no mother; she will never know me, never love me." Lady Hutton took from her purse gold and bank-notes, and bid them upon the table."The sum we agred upon is there, Magdalen,” said Lady Hutton. "It is growing late: you had better say goodbye to Hilda; we must leave you now; write to me when you reach ■our journey's end. I can only hope our future may be happier than your >ast has been." A low moan came from the white ips still touching the child’s face, rhen Magdalen Hurst rose and took rom her finger a thick plain gold ring. “Lady Hutton,” sshe said, gently, 'may 1 give this to Hilda? Will you et h cr wear it?" , With her own hands lady Hutton’ astened the ring to a little chain the •hild wore."I promise you," she said. "Hilda hall always wear it. .1 will put it on ler finger when she is old enough." It was a plain ring made in a ■cculiar way; the single . word, ’Fidelity,” was engraved upon ih If Magdalen Hurst could have foreseen ail that would arise from the fact of her daughter’s wearing that ring, she would have risked her life sooner than to give it to her.“Good-bye, Magdalen," said Lady Hutton.

All enquiries addreed to the firm will be answered promptly. Tune In On These Foot Comfort Talks Mr. Taplin of Toronto i* the man who .tarted this comfortable foot idea in Canada sod wbo will be remembered by many wbo attended his illustrated lecture in the Opera House about two years ago. Whets he started th. business which ha. now grown to such large proportions, he not only made it possible for suffering hu manity to again be comfortable in the feet, but at the same time he threw a monkey wrench into the old style methods of selling shoes. His methods consist of fitting feet, and letting these scientific methods seU the shoes. Foot-fitting did not and does not now enter into the average sal. in ordinary shoe stores. Many hundreds of people of Tillsonburg and vicinity are now wearing and enjoying the comfort of these deservedly famous shoes. Make a point to join the list and thereby rid yourself of this common curse— foot discomfort.

Don’t use snap judg ment in the selection of the place where you can buy your shoes. Scientific foot fitting is not usually practised in shoe “Cafeterias.” 3. Don’t fail to bear in mind that your one pair of feet must .serve you a lifetime. 4. Don't foolishly allow “Eyestyle” to super sede common foot sense when buying a pair of shoes. .5. _ Don't sacrifice your comfort by requiring a foot fitter to do impos sible things. Vanity and foot fitting are far removed. 6. Don't buy price in buy ing shoes, it is only rel ative, while good, hon estly made, comfort able shoes are always an economy.

Never let a fear for Hilda's welfare cross your mind; she will be to me as my own child. Bid her farewell See, the sun is setting; we must go." She turned aside while the unhappy mother held her child in that last close embrace. In that minute Magdalen Hurst died as loving, suffering women die. Death, when it came, held no pang half so bitter as that which rent her heart now. She covered the little wondering face with eager passionate kisses; sne pillowed the golden head on her breast and bent in untold agony over it. "Hilda,” she whispered, “my own little child. I shall never see you again. Say ’good-bye,' and ’God bless you, mother.'"Thc child repeated the words, then clasped her arms round her mother’s neck. “Let me stay with you,” she cried; “I love you best."In- one moment it seemed, as though the mother’s soul must leave. Then she clasped the child, murmuring words that Lady Hutton never forgot. To the last her mournful eyes followed the lit tle figure, drinking in, as it were, every movement, every action. The child passed forever from its mother's home. She gazed after it, watched the sun beams shining on the sweet face and golden hair, watched the stately lady take the little one in her arms and dry her tears, watched the child as it smiled, and then knew herself forgot ten. With a cry that rang out in the clear summer air, startling and shrill, Magdalen Hurst fell to the ground, and thc sunbeams played upon her white, unconscious face; While thc child from whom she had parted slept softly sweetly in Lady Hutton's arms. and 8/tedaf tfoMec&gjfinqViteek “Soap 1O.49C Washlng Soda 13c HandyAmmonia Powder Lux- 9'.,U>|. 3- 19c Babbitt's OwuerlOclh Ganic Oeaasa & tin Charm • - 9c pkt.

B. COCHRAN R. C. CRANDALL CHAPTER II. Five years before thc opening of our story there was not a happier or more beautiful girl in Scotland than Mag dalen Burns. Her father was the head gamekeeper to Sir Ralph Erskine; her mother had been Lady Erskine’s maid. They married, and lived in a pretty cottage close lo die woods of Brynmar; they had one little daughter called Magdalen, to suit some fancy of her mother's. On thc same Uay that little Magdalen was born at the cottage, a daughter and heiress was born at the Hall. Lady Erskine was, however, dangerously ill, and her babe was nurs ed by Mrs. Bums. As the heiress of Brynmar grew up she retained a great affection for her foster-sister. Lady Erskine offered to send little Magdalen to school, but thc sturdy gamekeeper refused. He was quite willing, he said, for his daughter to learn reading and writing, but he did not want a useless fine lady about the house. Magdalen must learn to wash, to brew, and to bake; then, at .some future day, she would make a good, sensible wife. What, for instance, could be belter for her than to marry one of the young gamekeepers, who might perhaps in time succeed him? He was not ambitious, this honest Donald Burns. Ed ucation was all very well for Miss Erskine; she would perhaps marry a lord; but his Magdalen had nothing to look to except succeeding her mother in thc management of thc little house hold. So Magdalen learned to read and .write and nothing more; but Na ture allows of no interference, and she had originally intended Mag dalen Burns for something more than the “gudc wife" of a poor, honest Scotchman. Thc girl had > dowry that sometimes a princess lacks; she was gifted with wonderful beauty —beauty not common with those of her class—refined, delicate and sensitive. Her face was lovely, spiritual, and full of poetry; her violet eyes were dear and true; the sweet sensitive lips were charming in their sunny smiles. Thc little bands, trained to brew and bake, retained their whiteness; thc tall, graceful figure was not spoiled by the life of almost rude labor. Nature does strange things; and she had given to this daughter of a Scotch peasant beauty and grace that might have been envied by a queen.Miss Erskine, Magdalen Burns's fos ter-sister, in no way resembled her. She was perfectly well-bred, with a cool, calm, stately manner, somewhat dignified and haughty, and a dear, fair patrician face; but no one ever thought of calling the heiress of Brynmar a beauty. Despite the difference of rank and position, there was a warm attach ment between the two girls. Miss Ers kine often left her stately home to roam in thc woods with the lovely young girl whose face everyone declared resembl ed a picture. At times Magdalen Burns was asked to the Hall, but her father never wished her to go there; perhaps he had some presentiment of thc fate that would overtake his beautiful daughter. He heard nothing but her praises, and he did not want her head to be turned with flattery. When gen tlemen visitors to the Hall, having heard of tbe beauty of his only child, called on different pretenses at the cot tage, Donald received them very coldly, and gave imperative orders that his daughter should always remain in her room while visitors were in the house. Miss Erskine had many lovers, but she cared only for one, that was young Lord Hutton, the handsomest, gayest, wildest man in all the Highlands- reckless, careless, debonair Lord Hut ton, the prodigal son of a prodigal race. He liked Miss Erskine, and his friends advised*him to marry her; she would be rich, and he needed money. Lord Hutton did not decide all at once; he went frequently to the Hall, and on one occasion took his favorite boon com panion. Stephen Hurst, with him. Stephen found his visit a very dull one; he did not care for the pomposi ties of Sir Ralph, or the inanity of I-ady Erskine. Both bored him alike; and besides, there was no billiard-table at the Hall Lady Erskine disapproved of gambling in even its innocent branches; a game at billiards was some thing very terrible in her eyes. Miss Erskine never appeared to see or no tice any one except Lord Hutton, and the other guests were summed up by Mr. Hurst in his amiable way, as "a mixture of bores and nobod^s." Having no mischief ready-made to his hand, Stephen went out to seek it for himself; he sought and found it in the shape of the gamekeeper’s beauti ful daughter. Wandering one day through thc woods of Brynmar, he sauntered down a broad path to enjoy a cigar. The day wu fine, and the cigar a good one. Stephen ut on the trunk of a fallen tree, in order to en joy both; and u he sat there a girl, beautiful as a fairy vision, came trip ping down the path. Stephen Hurst saw her with a thrill of delight; he had been idle and list- lest; here was something to do; here wu a beautiful young face, pure, sweet and happy; he could teach it to blush and to glow. Here was a pure, inno cent young heart; he could teach it to love. All that he said to himself as the e drew near. She did not perceive until he, to attract her attention, spoke, then Magdalen Burns raised her eyes to his face, and in that look met her fate. He asked some idle question as to thc nearest way to the Hall, and she replied; then gradually he drew from her her name and her simple little history. Nothing could be better, he said to himself. There was no one to interfere while he ramained at this dull place; it would be a magnificent resource to be able to meet this beau tiful, simple girl, out in the bonny woods of Brynmar. He never calcu lated on Donald Burns's strength of arm or strength of will. Lord Hutton could not imagine how it happened that Stephen Hurst, who used to complain the whole day long of the dullness of the place and every one in it, suddenly grew attached to it, and absolutely tried to persuade him to prolong his stay. Brynmar Woods could have told him why. There was no day passed that Stephen Hurst did not meet Magdalen under the shade of their tall trees. What need to tell the story? He wooed, as idle men do woo when they have no other occupation, and she learned to love, as the young and hap py love when they are so wooed. She thought him a king amongst men; no one was so handsome, so brave, so kindly; he was like one of the knights of old. Who else spoke so gently and musically? What voice, what face was like his? She never thought of her self; she never asked herself if it were wrong or foolish to spend long hours in these summer woods, listening to the sweetest and falsest words that ever fell from false lips. How true he seemed I—how noble, how good I What had she done that this great happiness should come to her, the priceless love of this greatest and noblest of men? Poor Magdalen I did she ever see him as he was—mean, false, and narrow, without one good instinct, without one noble quality? Did she ever see him as he was—handsome, with a coarse, animal beauty, selfish, cowardly, and ungenerous? Never, until the time came when all things were made clear to her eyes. The golden veil of romance had fall en over him; he was a hero, a knight; he loved her -and what could she do to show her gratitude for so priceless a treasure as this love? So while the warm, bright sommer days lasted she met him under the shade of the tall, green trees, and she learned to love him as women love once in life, and can never love again. How it would have ended no one can tell; but one morning, while thc dew still lay on flower and leaf, Mag dalen went out to meet her lover. They walked for some long time up and down the broad path, forgetting everything save themselves and their own happiness, when all at once the keeper, white with rage stood before them. “So,” said have always would prove dalcn; leave EDWARDSBURG CROWN BRAND Corn Syrup Delicious on Pan cakes and as a spread on bread.

Is he your he profess to love you?’1 about, besides binding, as it has done, thc United Sates and Britain especially in healthy treaty relationship. But the effective functioning of thc Court was hampered in many ways. Though permanent, it lacked continu ity, meeting only as occasions called. Its size, too—was against smooth, swift, sure jwgment. Yet did there seem no way of lessening thc number of its personnel. Old jealousies pre cluded trust by many of any court in which they themselves were not repre sented on its judiciary. The marvel is that such court as it was did all it did. But it could not survive the land slide of 1914. And only thc terrible experiences of the following years, ral lying thc peace forces of the world, brought into being, in 1921, thc perma nent Court of International Justice as part of the solemn Covenant of thc League of Nations itself. The diffi culties of a pointing its compara tively small but competent and impar tial justiciary—eleven judges and four deputies — were overcome—thanks largely to Elihu Root of the United States. And since June 4, 1922, this- Court functioning, it has become as much an integral part of the world"s judicial system as ordinary law-courts are. Yet though existent for so short lover? Docs “He does love me," said Magdalen, proudly; "and I—oh, father, do not be angry—love him." She spoke bravely, although trembl ing with fear. • ”1 am not angry, child," said the keeper, gently. "Go home—I will settle this." "You will not hurt him, father?” pleaded Magdalen. "I will not disturb even one of his well-arranged curls," said the keeper, grimly. “Leave him to me.” Magdalen hastened away, and the two men gazed fixedly at each other. Stephen Hurst did not quite like the strong hands that trembled with eag erness. He was a coward at heart, but thought in this case there wu nothing much to fear. “Well, my friend,” he said, inso lently, “Don't act the virtuous peasant. I have .seen that kind of thing so often on the stage that I am tired of it." * “I tell you what you never saw upon the stage," said the keeper. "You never saw a father who meant to lash his daughter's lover like a whipp ed hound unless he did justice to her.” There was something in the hot angry eyes that glowed upon him, and in the low hissing voice that that sh-ok Stephen Hursts craven heart.“Do not let us make any error," he said, hutily; “your daughter is a beautiful girl, and pure as an angel I will not utter one word derogatory to her to save my life." Donald Burns' softened at these words. "Have you taught my child to love you?" he asked; “tell me in one word. I will know the truth." “She docs love me,'.’ replied Stephen, quietly. “Then listen to me," said the keeper. “You arc a fine gentlemape, I suppose —one from the hall; she is poor and al most friendless, but you have taught her to love you; and if you do not marry her and make her happy, I will follow you—even to thc world’s end—and slay you—you hear me; I say it—I, who never broke my word. Now please yourself.”He turned away without one word more, leaving Stephen Hurst looking vacantly after him. “A very pretty price certainly to pay for a summer's wandering in these stupid woods,” he muttered. “That all comes from having nothing to do. I must either marry the girl or run the risk of being beaten to death by that energetic and active keeper. Well, I having nothing to keep her upon; I can not even keep myself; but she is a beautiful girl, and I really like her better than any one else in the world. Let me toss up for it; heads I marry her; the reverse, I run away." Then he carlessly threw up a few small silver coins. "Heads win," said he with a smile. "I will wait upon the keeper tomorrow." And that was thc man Magdalen Hurst idealized and loved. - What passed when Stephen Hurst called at the cottage, no one ever knew. When Lord Hutton heard that his random friend was to marry the lov- liest girl in Scotland, he advised Miss Erskine to use her influence to prevent the sacrifice. “Let the girl marry some steady honest young man in her own station,’ he said; “she will have a chance ol happiness then. If she marries Steph en Hurst, she will be wretched for life." Miss Erskine tried her influence, and Sir Ralph and. Lady Erskine tried theirs, but all in vain; when did love ever listen to reason? Before the summer ended, beautiful, simple Mag dalen Burns became Stephen Hunt's wife. fTo be continued) Outdoor, or indoor. — whatever your task.

(Amendment Article 12.)

Twenty-seven nations, including France and Germany, have already signed this clause. It waits now especi ally the signature of Great Britain and Canada. But apart even from the Protocol with whatever adhesion it may yet secure, surely such solemn Covenant, entered into by almost all the world's leading powers, is itself unprecedented guarantee of peace.

Miss Ray wa* in her usual health as far as was known. She was at the funeral of W. A. Byer- lay on the Wednesday before. But on Saturday morning she woke up about 8 o’clock feeling quite ill, but thought if she would lie still she would feel belter in a little while. But she got worse, and later she arose, fixed her fire, unlocked the door went to the phone and rang Mrs. Thomas Ferns and said, '•Come quick I feel very bad.” Mrs. Ferris called Mrs. Helsdon and both ladies went right over and found Miss Ray very ill. She passed away about half an hour after th$’ got there. She remained conscious until the last. The funeral was held on Tuesday at two o'clock.

Never let a fear for Hilda’s welfare cross your mind; she will be to me as my own child. Bid her farewell. See, the sun is setting; we must go." She turned aside while the unhappy mother held her child in that last close embrace. In that minute Magdalen Hurst died as loving, suffering women die. Death, when it came, held no pang half so bitter as that which rent her heart now. She covered the little wondering face with eager passionate kisses; she pillowed the golden head on her breast and bent in untold agony over it. "Hilda," she whispered, “my own little child. I shall never see you again. Say 'good-bye,' and 'God bless you, mother.’"The child repeated the words, then clasped her arms round her mother’s neck. “Let me stay with you," she cried; “I love you best" Ir> one moment it seemed, as though the mother’s soul must leave. Then she clasped the child, murmuring words that Lady Hutton never forgot. To the last her mournful eyes followed the lit tle figure, drinking in, as it were, every movement, every action. The child passed forever from its mother’s home. She gazed after it, watched the sun beams shining on the sweet face and golden hair, watched the stately lady take the little one in her arms and dry her tears, watched the cnild as it smiled, and then knew herself forgot ten. With a cry that rang out in the clear summer air, startling and shrill, Magdalen Hurst fell to the ground, and the sunbeams played upon her white, unconscious face; While the child from whom she had parted slept softly and sweetly in Lady Hutton’s arms.

Five years before the opening of our story there was not a happier or more beautiful girl in Scotland than Mag dalen Burns. Her father was the head gamekeeper to Sir Ralph Erskine; her mother had been Lady Erskine's maid. They married, and lived in a pretty cottage close to the woods of Brynmar; they had one little daughter called Magdalen, to suit some fancy of her mother’s. On the same tiay that little Magdalen was born at the cottage, a daughter and heiress was born at the Hall. Lady Erskine was, however, dangerously ill, and her babe was nurs ed by Mrs. Bums. As the heiress of Brynmar grew up she retained a great affection for her foster-sister. Lady Erskine offered to send little Magdalen to school, but the sturdy gamekeeper refused. He was quite willing, he said, for his daughter to learn reading and writing, but he did not want a useless fine lady about the house. Magdalen must learn to wash, to brew, and to bake; then, at .some future day, she would make a good, sensible wife. What, for instance, could be better for her than to marry one of the young gamekeepers, who might perhaps in time succeed him? He was not ambitious, this honest Donald Bums. Ed ucation was all very well for Miss Erskine; she would perhaps marry a lord; but his Magdalen had nothing to look to except succeeding her mother in the management of the little house hold. So .write ture she dalen than the Magdalen learned to read and and nothing more; but Na- allows of no interference, and had originally intended Mag- Burns for something more 'gude wife” of a poor, honest Scotchman. The girl had a dowry that sometimes a princess lacks; she was gifted with wonderful beauty —beauty not common with those of her class—refined, delicate and sensitive. Her face was lovely, spiritual, and full of poetry; her violet eyes were dear and true; the sweet sensitive lips were charming in their sunny smiles. The little hands, trained to brew and bake, retained their whiteness; the tall, graceful figure was not spoiled by the life of almost rude labor. Nature does strange things; and she had given to this daughter of a Scotdi peasant beauty and grace that might have been envied by a queen. Miss Erskine, Magdalen Burns's fos ter-sister, in no way resembled her. She was perfectly well-bred, with a cool, calm, stately manner, somewhat dignified and haughty, and a dear, fair patrician face; but no one ever thought of calling the heiress of Brynmar a beauty. Despite the difference of rank and position, there was a warm attach ment between the two girls. Miss Ers kine often left her stately home to roam in the woods with the lovely young girl whose face everyone declared resembl ed a picture. At times Magdalen Burns was asked to the Hall, but her father never wished her to go there; perhaps he had some presentiment of the fate that would overtake his beautiful daughter. He heard nothing but her praises, and he did not want her head to be turned with flattery. When gen tlemen visitors to the Hall, having heard of the beauty of his only child, called on different pretenses at the cot tage, Donald received them very coldly, and gave imperative orders that his daughter should always remain in her room while visitors were in the house. Miss Erskine had many lovers, but she cared only for one, that was young Lord Hutton, the handsomest, gayest, wildest man in all the Highlands— reckless, careless, debonair Lord Hut ton, the prodigal son of a prodigal race. He liked Miss Erskine, and his friends advised*him to marry her; she would be rich, and he needed money. Lord Hutton did not decide all at once; he weat frequently to the Hall, and on one occasion took his favorite boon com panion. Stephen Hurst, with him. Stephen found his visit a very dull one; he did not care for the pomposi ties of Sir Ralph, or the inanity of Lady Erskine. Both bored him alike; and besides, there was no billiard-table at the Hall. Lady Erskine disapproved of gambling in even its innocent branches; a game at billiards was some thing very terrible in her eyes. Miss Erskine never appeared to see or no tice any one except Lord Hutton, and the other guests were summed up by Mr. Hurst in his amiable way. as “a mixture of bores and nobodies.” Having no mischief ready-made to his hand, Stephen went out to seek it for himself; he sought and found it in the shape of the gamekeeper's beauti ful daughter. Wandering one day through the woods of Brynmar, he sauntered down a broad path to enjoy a cigar. The day was fine, and the cigar a good one. Stephen sat on the trunk of a fallen tree, in order to en joy both; and as he sat there a girl, beautiful as a fairy vision, came trip ping down the path.Stephen Hurst saw her with a thrill of delight; he had been idle and list- less; here was something to do; here was a beautiful young face, pure, sweet and happy; he could teach it to blush and to glow. Here was a pure, inno cent young heart; he could teach it to love. All that he said to himself as the e drew near. She did not perceive until he, to attract her attention, spoke, then Magdalen Burns raised her eyes to his face, and in that look met her fate. He asked some idle question as to the nearest way to the Hall, and she replied; then gradually he drew from her her name and her simple little history. Nothing could be better, he said to himself. There was no one to interfere while he remained at this dull place; it would be a magnificent resource to be able to meet this beau tiful, simple girl, out in the bonny woods of Brynmar. He never calcu lated on Donald Burns's strength of arm or strength of will. Lord Hutton could not imagine how it happened that Stephen Hurst, who used to complain the whole day long of the dullness of the place and every one in it, suddenly grew attached to it, and absolutely tried to persuade him to prolong his stay. Brynmar Woods could have told him why. There was no day passed that Stephen Hurst did not meet Magdalen under the shade of their tall trees. What need to tell the story? He wooed, as idle men do woo when they have no other occupation, and she learned to love, as the young and hap py love when they are so wooed. She thought him a king amongst men; no one was so handsome, so brave, so kindly; he was like one of the knights of old. Who else spoke so gently and musically? What voice, what face was like his? She never thought of her self; she never asked herself if it were wrong or foolish to spend long hours in these summer woods, listening to the Jwcetest and falsest words that ever fell from false lips. How true he seemed I—how noble, how good I What had she done that this great happiness should come to her, the priceless love of this greatest and noblest of men? Poor Magdalen I did she ever see lim as he was—mean, false, and narrow, without one good instinct, without one noble quality? Did she ever sec him as he was—handsome, with a coarse, animal bcautv, selfish, cowardly, and ungenerous? Never, until the time came when all things were made clear to her eyes. The golden veil of romance had fall en over him; he was a hero, a knight; he loved her -and what could she do to show her gratitude for so priceless a treasure as this love? So while the warm, bright sommcr days lasted she met him under the shade of the green trees, and she learned to him as women love once in life, can never love again. How it would have ended no __ can tell; but one morning, while the dew still lay on flower and leaf, Mag dalen went out to meet her lover. They walked for some long time up and down the broad path, forgetting everything save themselves and their awn happiness, when all at once the keeper, white with rage stood before them. “So," said have always would prove dalen; leave —do not let lover? Does "He does love me,” said Magdalen, proudly; "and I—ch, father, do not be angry—love him." She spoke bravely, although trembl ing with fear. • "I am not angry’, child,” said the keeper, gently. “Go home—I will EDWARDSBURG CROWN BRAND Corn Syrup Delicious on Pan- cakes and as a spread on bread.

But the effective functioning of the Court was hampered in many ways. Though permanent, it lacked continu ity. meeting only as occasions called. Its. size, too—was against smooth, swift, sure jmgment. Yet did there seem no way of lessening the number of its personnel. Old jealousies pre cluded trust by many of any court in which they themselves were not, repre sented on its judiciary. The marvel is that such court as it was did all it did. But it could not survive the land slide of 1914. And only the terrible experiences of the following years, ral lying the peace forces of the world, brought into being, in 1921, the perma nent Court of International Justice as part of the solemn Covenant of the League of Nations itself. The diffi culties of a pointing its compara tively small but competent and impar tial justiciary—eleven judges and four deputies — were overcome—thanks largely to Elihu Root of the United States. And since June 4, 1922, this Court functioning, it has become as much an integral part of the world"* judicial system as ordinary law-courts arc. Yet though existent for so short "You will not hurt him, father?" pleaded Magdalen. “I will not disturb even one of his well-arranged curls," said the keeper, grimly. "Leave him to me." Magdalen hastened away, and the two men gazed fixedly at each other. Stephen Hurst did not quite like the strong hands that trembled with eag erness. He was a coward at heart, but thought in this case there was nothing much to fear. "Well, my friend," he said, inso lently, “Don’t act the virtuous peasant. I have,seen that kind of thing so often on the i stage that I am tired of it" - "I tell you what you never saw upon the stage," said the keeper. “You never saw a father who meant to lash his daughter’s lover like a whipp ed hound unless he did justice to her.” There was something in the hot angry eyes that glowed upon him, and in the low hissing voice that that shrok Stephen Hursts craven heart.“Do not let us make any error,” he said, hastily; “your daughter is a beautiful girl, and pure as an angel I will not utter one word derogatory to her to save my life.” Donald Burns* softened at these words. “Have you taught my child to love you?” he asked; "tell me in one word. I will know the truth.”"She does love me,? replied Stephen, quietly. "Then listen to me," said the keeper. “You are a fine fcentlemane, I suppose —one from the hall; she is poor and al most friendless, but you have taught her to love you; and if you do not marry her and make her happy, I will follow you—even to the world's end—and slay you—you hear me; I say it—I, who never broke my word. Now please yourself."He turned away without one word more, leaving Stephen Hurst looking vacantly after him. “A very pretty price certainly to pay for a summer’s wandering in these stupid woods,” he muttered. "That all comes from having nothing to do. I must either marry the girl or run the risk of being beaten to death by that energetic and active keeper. Well, I having nothing to keep her upon; 1 can not even keep myself; but she is a beautiful girl, and I really like her better than any one else in the world. Let me toss up for it; heads I marry her; the reverse, I run awav." Then he carlessly threw up a few small silver coins. "Heads win," said he with a smile. “I will wait upon the keeper tomorrow."And that was the man Magdalen Hurst idealized and loved.What passed when Stephen Hurst called at the cottage, no one ever knew. When Lord Hutton heard that his random friend was to marry the lov- liest girl in Scotland, he advised Miss Erskine to use her influence to prevent the sacrifice."Let the girl marry some steady honest young man in her own station,* he said; "she will have a chance oi happiness then. If she marries Steph en Hurst, she will be wretched for lite." Miss Erskine tried her influence, and Sir Ralph and. Lady Erskine tried theirs, but all in vain; when did love ever listen to reason? Before the summer ended, beautiful, simple Mag dalen Burns became Stephen Hursts wife. fTo be continued) a time, it has already satisfactorily dcalth with certain vital interests in the relations of all the more important members of the League. And just as the presence and play of the ordi nary court of law has made unneces sary the carrying of private arms, so is this International Court making national armament obsolete. For in stead of resort to arms, “the Court shall be competent to hear and deter mine any dispute of an international character which the parties thereto submit to it." (Article 14.) And "the members of the League agree that, if there should come between them any dispute likely to lead to a rupture, they will submit the matter cither to arbitration or to judicial settlement, or to enquiry by the Council; and they agree in no case to resort to war until three months after the award by the arbitrators the report in of the Coun cil." (Amendment Article 12.) Furthermore, "the Members of the League agree that, whenever any dis pute shall arise between them which they recognize to be suitable for sub mission to arbitration or judicial settlement, and which cannot be settl ed by diplomacy, they will submit the whole subject-matter to arbitration or iudical settlement." (Amended Article 13. ) "For the consideration of any such dispute the court to which the case is referred to shall be the perma nent Court of International Justice established in accordance with Article 14, or any tribunal agreed on by the parties to the dispute or stipulated in any convention existing between them." (Amended Article 13.) And “the Members of the League agree that they will carry out in full good faith any award that may be rendered and that they will not resort to war against a Member of the League which com plies therewith. In the event of any failure to carry out such award, the Council shall propose what steps shall be taken to give effect thereto." (Article 13.) If there should arise between mem bers of the League any dispute likely to lead to a rupture, which is not sub mitted to arbitration or judicial settlement in accordance with Article 13. the Members of the League will submit the matter to the council." (Amended Article 15.) Then "Should any Member of the League resort to war in disregard of the Cove nants under Articles 12, 13 or 15, it shall ipso facto be deemed to have committed an act of war against all other Members of the League-" And these, instead of unsheathing -the sword to bring the unruly Members to book, "hereby undertake to subject it to the severance of all trade or financial relations, the prohibition of all intercourse between persons resid ing in the territory of the Covenant breaking State, and the prevention of LESSON No. 18 Question: Why is emul sified cod-liver oil so needful for a child who is pale and losing weight?

For your child—old reliable SCOn’S EMULSION all financial, commercial, or personal intercourse between persons residing in the territory of any other State, whether a member of the League or not." (Amendment to Article 16.) Still further. "It is declared to be the friendlv right of each Member of the League to bring to the attention of the Assembly or of the Council any circumstance whatever affecting inter national relations which threatens to disturb peace or good understanding between nations upon which peace depends.” (Article 11.) To all this there was added in December of 1920, the Protocol, with its optional clause on acceptance as compulsory the settlement of all in ternational differences, not diploma tically adjusted, by Jhe World Court. Twenty-seven nations, including . France and Germany, have already signed this clause. It waits now especi ally the signature of Great Britain and Canada. But apart even from the Protocol, with whatever adhesion it may yet secure, surely such solemn Covenant, entered into by almost all the world’s leading powers, is itself unprecedented guarantee of peace. And the League of which the Covenant is the heart, justified in so many ways by its fine accomplishment of peaceful purpose, is as surely the greatest triumph thus far of the Prince of Peace, the Pioneer of life.
