Thi. Annual Affair—Improvement. ‘“"6erwent their the campus on Wednesday afternoon, the inspection officer being Lieut.- , Col G. H. Gillespie, who has perform- ; ed that duty for several year* The cadets were about up to usual quota of strength, and they through their various evolution> rcnurkably creditable manner, sidering the short time they have been in training this season. Their physi cal exercises were also well done, and reflectd much credit on their instruc tor. At the conclusion of the inspec tion the cadets gathered in a mass on the south side of the grounds, and were briefly addressed by Lieut.-Col. Gillespie. . He was introduced by Mr. S. Wight man, principal, who announced that this was Lieut.-Col. Gillespie's last inspection of the Tillsonburg corps, as he had been promoted to the Winnipeg district, where he will be engaged largely in organization work. Lieut.-Col. Gillespie expressed his regret at leaving this district and par ticularly in turning over the inspec tion of this corps to someone else. He had alwavs enjoyed his visits to Till- sonburg. He knew the principal and his tuff, and congratulated the board as well as the students on their effici ent teachers. He also congratulated R- J. Sinclair on the excellent work that had been accomplished in the short time that the cadet* had been under training. The inspection thi* year was necessarily held early in the season to enable them to visit ail the corp* in the district in the allotted time. The inspector was particularly pleased at the physical exercises, more particu larly as they were conducted by one of their own number. Usually this task is allotted to lhe seniors, but the excel lence of the work shown on this oc casion demonstrated that the cadets were sufficiently well trained that any of them could be called upon to take charge of the exercises. The boy* were congratulated on their smart showing. Col. Gillespie took notice that their uniform* bore polished buttons. Some many smile at thi* allusion, he said, but he impressed it upon their mind* that it was the little thing* that count. One can not attain lhe big things without paying atention to the little things. He said that the cadet movement was an important work in education, the phys ical exercise* being an aid to the physical development of the students. Success in school as well as in busi ness depended on good health, and they were trying to drill the students up in health, and teach them how to walk correctly. They were not drill ing for war, but for their future well being. In awarding the honors Inspec tor Gillespie gave No. 1 platoon, un der the command of D. Dean, first place. In concluding his remarks CoL Gillespie once more expressed hi* regret at leaving thi* district, and wished both the cadet* and their in structors every success in the future. At the conclusion of Lieut-CoL Gillespie's remarks he was given three rousing cheer* by the cadets, as also was Principal Wightman. Rev. W. H. Dunbar was called upon and spoke briefly , and R. J. Brook field, of the High School Board, ex- Cessed the thanks of lhe Board to cut.-Col. Gillespie for hi* uniform kindness and courtesy during the years of his inspectorate of this corps. The cadet commander is Dick Den nis; the platoon commanders are: No. 1. D. Dean; No. 2, Clifford Booth, and No. 3, Bill Hogarth. Physical instruc tor, Jack McDonald. At the conclusion of the inspecton lhe cadet* paraded to Brown’s confec tionery parlors where they enjoyed a treat from their popular instructor, Mr. R. J. Sinclair.

Whether or not one requires egg, or bacon depend, on the type of work done, and also upon whether or not the noon meal is a light one.

By this addition the eastern chain will include CNRQ, CNRM. CNRO and CNRT, Quebec, Montreal. Ottawa and Toronto respectively. The inclusion of Toronto in the chain will considerably widen the scope of ^thesc broadcasts and enable radio reception tn certain sections of western Quebec and estern Ontario now regarded at "blind spot*” in-so-far as some of the Canadian station* are concerned. This hook-up -.will be entirely by mean* of Canadian National facilities, the land wire connections between Quebec and Toronto being through channels furnished by the Canadian National Telegraphs. The telegraph facilities are being continually improved by the extension of the carrier current system and as the latter method is advanced, the the radio chain will be lengthened. The present plan calls for the inclusion of CNRW, Winnipeg, with the east ern stations during the Autumn, after which it is hoped to add CNRA, Monc ton, to the chain, making a wide sweep across the Dominion. The plans do not end there but al*o provide for the inclusion of CNRV. Vancouver, at toon as the carrier current system reaches the Pacific Coast. With Van couver in the chain a new condition arises, that of the difference in time between Eastern Standard and Pacific Standard, three liours, so that it will not always be convenient to broad cast a.coast program in the east, or in the reverse direction.

Were it not for one lithe word in the list given, most church members would find •themselves with o particular classification. Few would included amongst the apostles, the rophets, the teachers, the workers of miracles, the Governments, the heal ing*. or ^the diversities of tongue*. But there is a place for all in the class described as "Helps." And when you come to think about it, the helps arj the most important of all No organ ization, let along a church could get along without them. The folks with no special talents, but filled with a desire to be helpful in every possible way, arc the very salt of the earth. Thoie with brilliant powers of leadership, and possessed of exceptional gifts of in tellect would be unable to perform any of the great enterprises without the assistance of the “helps." God Him self has not thought it unworthy to describe Himself as “A very present help.” One of the most winsome at tributes of our Lord Jesus Christ is that He is "Able to help." If we can find no other word to describe our service to God and humanity, may we be happy to be numbered amongst the "Helps."

Put Stamps on Cheques It is not generally known that if a cheque is issued and goer into the bank without proper revenue stamp on, that the issuer of the cheque is liable to a fine. Many people think that the bank receives the money paid for the stamps. This is wrong as the government im poses the tax and receives the revenue.

Rhubarb seems such a commonplace sort of plant that the interesting der ivation of its name prove* a welcome surprise to those who have never taken the trouble to investigate the great subject. The first syllable of the word. "Rha." was the ancient name of the River Volga, and. on the bank* of this river grew vast quantities of this coarse, broad-leafed plant. The sec ond syllable is equally enlightening, for it refers to the then barbarous country through which ran the River Volga. The name Rhubarb actually means the barbarous region of the River Rha. or Volga. This origin certainly seem* re mote from the obscure edge of the average country garden, where the humble rhubarb is now usually found. Now that cooking experts have dis covered that rhubarb combines well with the flavor of several delicious ber ries and other fruit it is often associ ated with these more aristocratic pic tures of the garden. The young, ten der stalk*, delicate pink in color, are used without peeling when combined with strawberries or red raspberries. So lovely is the color and so delicious the flavor that one can hardly dis tinguish the expensive red berry from the rosy bit sliced from a lender stalk of cheap rhubarb. Rhubarb contains so large a per centage of water that, in stewing, only enough should be added to keep the rhubarb from burning. Some thrifty cooks, to lessen the amount of sugar required, cover the diced rhubarb with boiling water, drain after five minutes, then add sugar and cither bake or stew until soft. Rhubarb so cooked is then re-heated in the juice of tarries or other fruit with which it is to be served and which requires only slight cooking. Such combination* of berries and rhu barb arc suitably served as a fruit course at breakfast or as a luncheon sweet. They are excellent as a basis for many favorite desserts, such as meringue pies, tarts, hot or cold tapioca puddings, or the rolled and baked des sert known as "roly-poly." With all these, the combined fruit juices, slightly thickened, should be served as cither a hot or cold sauce. Such a hot fruit sauce is especially good with banana or apple fritters, and these fruit juices, combined with rhubarb are excellent, as well as economical for the making of bottled syrups, to be used as the foun dation for cold beverages.

Important to Dairymen As forecast, the United States De-1 partment of Agriculture has announced that temporary permits under the Im port of Milk Act. will be cancelled as of May 31*t. and permanent permits is sued as on June 1st after complying with the regulations as ncr said act. The work of inspection under the De partment oi Agriculture at Ottawa to decide what shippers can obtain per manent permits is progressing, but in several areas shippers have decided that they cannot hope to re-enter thi* market al present—these being cream eries whose patrons have not shown a willingness to go to the expense of building milkhouses and making other change* in herds and premise* to meet the United States requirements. It is impossible to say exactly how large a proportion of our exports will be cut of on May 31st. but competent authorities say 75 per cent. That i* a serious matter, especially as the United Steles market was the highest priced one open to Canadian dairy products. It is certain that there is a market in the United State* for Canadian milk and cream ,and despite the fact that the inspection imposed on Canadian producers is more severe than that on United State* dairymen, it would be unwise for the Canadian dairy industry* to decide not to cater to that market. We are making great strides in the eradication of tuberculosis, and there will soon be a much larger supply of milk and cream available from disease- free areas than the Canadian market can u*e in fluid form. In order* to ob tain the reward for the heavy expense* of creating these areas we mutt make a concerted effort to make sure that, in at least these area*, the cleaning up of I stables and the making of other neces-1 sary improvement*, is finished, for that will at once reopen the United State* market to our products. In the end the effect of the action of the United State* Government should be of great value to the Canadian dairy industry, by making the reputa tion of Canadian milk and cream higher than ever. We have a chance to profit by our present hardship* ancT we should not neglect it. LieuL-CoI. Gillespie Going to Winnipeg Lieut.-Col George H. Gillespie, dis trict cadet officer. Military District No. 1, it is announced, has received the appointment of district cadet officer of Military District No. 10. with headquar ter* in Winnipeg and will proceed to his new post at the beginning of the* next cadet year. probably early in Oc tober. Col. Gillespie is one of the best known and most popular of the local staff officers, particularly in cadet circles, where he has exercised a mark ed effect toward improvement on the general status of the service. Prior to coming to London, where he took over the post of cadet officer some five years ago. Col. Gillespie was attached to the staff of headquarters of Military District No. 3. at Kingston. Hi* record in that city over a period of 10 year*, from 1913 to 1923, was notable, being brought to the attention of the militia throughout Canada because of the almost phenomenal rifle shooting of the cadet* under his command. Of particular importance in the rec ord of the officer during his term of command here arc the fact* that he led the movement toward the uniforming] of all cadet units, created widespread] interest in rhe annual King George cup rifle shooting competitions and the or ganization of highly successful com petitions, such as general efficiency, signalling, first aid and physical train ing. It is probable that Col Gillespie will be granted leave of absence for a con siderable period before the transfer be comes effective. 937-2710 Henry Rounds* team won first prize. W.

A man and a boy. and possibly a third hand tor carrying water. wiU trans plant about SOOO to 8000 plants in a day, while with a machine, anywhere from 25.CCC to 30,000 plants can be set out in the same length of time. Estimating man labour at 30c an hour, a machine would pay for itself in a very short time. Therefore it is worth consider ation when figuring the cost of produc tion. The efficiency of the work done by the machine is much in its favor, for re plants set out by hand, very soon after the original planting, can sometimes be traced throughout the whole growing season. The machine apparently places the soil around the fine root sys tem more to the natural liking of the plant Probably the greatest advantage in using . may be done at any time of the day without any very serious effects, while for the best results with the hand method it is almost necessary to wait until after showers or rains. Thus from the standpoint of economy and laoour, efficiency, and speeding up of opera tions. the machine transplanting of to bacco cannot be too highly recommend ed. machine, is that transplanting PIANO FOR SALE Apply Alex Rodgers, Harvey street.

International rum-runners are pre- >ared to stage a bitter battle against he United States liquor-chasing staff, tnd a modem armored bullet-proof j peed boat which resembles a sub- , narine-chaser has been launched in, 'ert Dover harbor.A fleet of five rum-running boat’ . s docked there, four having "winter-. d„ at the port, while the fifth boat has ecently been constructed. Revenue officials on the other side j dready have announced their inten-1 ion of placing boats at two-mile inter nals, equipped with machine guns, if ;uch steps are necessary to curb the llcgal liquor traffic. The rum-runners :old no fear for machine gun-bullets, is the steel-lined ships will offset the ittacks of the revenue officials.

But the findings of the Court call for such sanctions—they have to be enforc ed. that is, by economic or other sword —precisely as “the strong arm of the aw" sees to the carrying out of an or- linary court's decisions.

Are our statesmen actually so deadlocked that they must sii proposal for enquire as to just what is meant by the outlawry of war. Last April M. Bria nd proposed a Cict of Perpetual Friendship with the nited States—a league member, that is. proposed such a pact, "tending to outlaw war." with a non-member state. The gist of this suggested compact seems to have been “that a settlement of disputes jirising between them, of whatever nature or origin they may be, shall never be sought by either party except through peaceful means.” There then is the renunciation or out lawing of "ar.

Just what would happen should one of the panic, refuse to tolerate the status quo is not dear. It would seem to set them back in an unprepared-for emergency —the very emergency against which the League guards in its sanctions. Hut allowing the possibility of the absolute foregoing of force, we note America's response to the original French gesture. Mr. Kellogg's reply was the suggestion of a multilateral in stead of a bilateral, treaty—one invit ing any or all peoples to like renunci ation. That created complications.

YOUR CHOICE, J/0 pledged among themselves to the use of force as a fast resort, agree to enter into pact renouncing its use? France, of course, or any other member of the League, without finicaUy guarding far- off contingencies, might feel free to enter into such pact with the United States; but how could France enter into such a pact with Germany, or Greece with Italy? 1* the call then a call, as some one has suggested, "to renounce the covenant of the League of Nations.” since “the whole political sys tem today is based on lhe theory, not of renouncing war as an instrument of policy. but of pledget to wage war against any nation which disturbs the peace.” ■ There is the deadlock, deadlock justi fying despair, perhaps, or bitter regret, but never, surely, such jubilation as wme have seemed to show at apparent . discrediting of the League. Let us hope that way out will be found—and taken. But. if not. let us have con fidence in and patience one with an other—even as the Lord of all honest workers has such wondrous patience with them, notwithstanding their often erring ways. Patient, sympathetic hon esty of purpose alone, with something of magnanimity, can pilot wisely now a war-wearied world. Happily such is in evidence. M- Briand must needs go slow, feeling out the implications of anv new move in its effect on the half hundred odd peoples with whom the safety ot France is »o much more surely bound up in the League of Nations than it can conceiv ably be in any outside relationship. Mr. Kellosg can afford to be patient— and generous. Both know that, far from the proposed outlawry clashing with the League, or making its machin ery obsolete, “the I-eague." according to Lord Thompson, “would be far more firmly founded, far more effective than it it today. The League is merely machinery for the adjustment of dis putes; the proposal to outlaw war is a piece of legislation to revise inter national law upon the basis of peace.” The new proposal then is at once the crowning of that world confidence which the League has largely brought about, that confidence which made M. Brand's initiatory proposal possible: and. as Senator Borah, that implacable antagonist of the United States' en trance into the League, has himself so generously pointed out. it would really be the creating of such supplemental- machinery to the League as would facilitate the joint working of old world and new tow-ard their common ideal— Cint working in atmosphere purged rgely of that military mind which banks on force.Then if, in spite of this changed and favoring atmosphere, any League mem ber. having signed the war-renouncing pact, should yet break faith, "neither the League nor Locarno has been de stroyed;" rather by that very breach, fellow members of the League are automatically freed from their outlawry ob ligation. and may fall back on their pre pledged use of force under the League Covenant. Thus, patiently, is the Prince of Peace, the Pioneer of Life, bringing peace-loving men. and peace-loving methods, together. Nor will He stay till learning war no mote, these men. ih ever-improving methods, see tbe “work of righteousness to be peace: and the effect of rfahteousucsi quietness and assurance tor ever.* the age-old bk>od-feuds of that world ? Feeling, especially of fate, the painful proximity of such entanglements as the America involves, why should they become parties to a covenant which may at any moment saddle them with some European Nic aragua? And. finding how futile was their entrance into the Great War. as far as the abolition of all war was con cerned or even of exorcising the de- 1 S™1"’- mon jealousies of European national- trouble- i^m. why should they risk being caught by the pleasant home usel*^ in ,uch f4ladysm? Standing off thus then these fast eight years, unable to enter the League Ol Nations, yet «reatly desiring attain ment of the end the League is after, with no alternative constructive policy to offer, how painful and perplexing has been their silence! No wonder that fine enthusiasm is now breaking forth like some spring freshet as they think that in the proposed outlawry of war there is that to champion in which the woeld must approve! is. then, the League of Nations to be scrapped fa favor of some more sane ar.d twin way of winning out to per manent peace? By no means. Men showing in United Stati to outlaw u. And right United States «ee not yet tWrir way to signing the Covenant.

Braeme CHAPTER XVI "We muil do something in return ‘or all these iuritations, Hilda," said • ord Bayneham. "It it more than three month* now since we returned. 41x1 although we have had what one m*y call parties every day, it is time we did more. What do you propose?" "A ball." the replied, her fair young <*ce glowing with delight at the drought. "And. Claude, ask Barbara «° corn dpwn for it I am sure the wfll be pleased " We shall soon h^yc Christmas here, aod my mother pronged to spend it at Bayneham." said Claude. "Suppose we wait until then, and give a ball that all the country will remember. Bertie promised us a week. What do you say?" ' "It will be best." she replied, more edsfely; for though longing to tee Barbara, and enjoy a ball, Hilda look ed forward with more awe than delight to the visit of her stately mother-in-law. Hilda had almost forgotten the little ncident that happened in the summer. Once or twice she thought, with wonder and admiration, of that beau- iful, sad face, so worn and pale, and hen in her heart felt thankful that those mysterious trial* and troubles which wreck other lives had not shadowed her*. There was but one thing wanted to make her perfectly happy—that was the love of Lady Bayneham. If Claude's mother would give her but one half 'lie warm affection she lavish ed upon her son or Barbara Earle, Hilda would be quite coatent. Time passed so happily, that the days teem ed one bright, long drcam. Qiritlmas was drawing near, and great were the preparations for the coming festivities. The Aulston "Gazette" informed the public that Christmas would bring a party of illustrious guests to the Castle, and went on in a state of wild rapture to describe the gayeties exj-cctcd. Amongst those most celebrated, Albert Carlyon, Esq., whose recent work on the political state of England had created a furore, was named as "one of our leading writers." King Winter did not appear in hi* usual garb; there was do snow or frost when Christmas came; but. contrary to all natural laws, the weather was even warm and mild. There was an attempt at rain, a feble gleam of sun shine. but none of what English people call "reasonable cold." Notwithstanding the absence of snow and frost, there was no lack of holly and mistletoe in the Ca»tie. It was many long years since Christmas had been kept in such, royal state at Bayneham. nor was there any lack of gaycty among the guests assembled there. x It would have been difficult to decide who wa* mo*t popular—the graceful, lovely hostess, whose smiles had a magical charm, whose elegant, winning manner made every one fefl al home and at ease, or Barbara Earle, with her stately figure and noble, soul- lit face, her eloquent word* and grand thought*. There could be little out door amusement, except shotting and hunting for t^e gentlemen, but no one could be dull or want amusement where Hilda and Barbara presided. Bertie wa* a host in himself, and the evenings at Bayneham Castle were found too short instead of too long. One night was given to charades— Bertie being stage manager, and thoroughly well did he accomplish his task. He had what he called "magnifi cent materials." and he knew how to use them. "1 /have a grand, idea," said Bertie one morning to Lord Bayneham; “they spoke of having some tablcaul-vivants o-night. I consider that we have amongst us the three most perfect type* of beauty. We could manage a beautiful picture—'The Gift of the Golden-Apple.’ You may be Paris, Mist Earle would iqake a magnificent Minerva, Miss •Dcverney is‘a perfect Juno, and Lady Hilda would represent the Golden-haired Aphrodite .as few others could. What do you think, Claude?" ."Let us have a rehearsal at oocc," wa* a second Pari*, with a far better judgment than his predecessor. There were many guests at that brilliant evening festival who never forgot Lady Hilda a* she stood be tween her fair rivals; who remember ed the bright loveliness of the face, the roseate flush of beauty and triumph, the light in the violet eyes, and the sheen of the golden hair, long after the cloud of sorrow and .suffering had dimmed the beauty then so radi ant Thcr wa* another tableau that even ing, as much admired a* Bertie’s— “The Farewell before the battle." A knight, belled and spurred, ready for the fray, had just taken farewell of his young wife. He turn* once more to look at her. and she returns his gaze. The beauty of the picture lay •n the expression of both face*—the stern beauty of the knight, looking his last upon his wife, her tristful, sad face, trring vainly to smile a last adieu, while the tip* were pale and the eye* full of tears. Hilda and Lord Bayneham rendered thte' idea perfectly; there had been some difficulty in teaching the Lady df^Bayneham Castle to look sad or "I can not do it." she said, when Bertie for the twentieth time found fault. "I can not do it. I bare never learned to look sad. Tell me what I am to think about.."Fancy that Lord Bayneham is going to leave you. and you will never see him again," replied Bertie; "bow would you look then?" •I can not do that for play," said Hilda; but even the passing thought brought a rapt expression of grief that made a perfect and beautiful picture. "You mutt forgive me. Lady Hilda." said Bertie, “that I have been the first to teach you to look sad. 1 can only hope the look may never be more real than now." That evening, when Barbara Earle, tired and exhausted reached her own room, she taw a small packet address ed her. lying on the toilet-table. She broke the seal and found a small box. When that was opened, lying in a soft nest of white velvet was a moat beauti ful little gplden apple. It was made with a small loop, so that it could be worn at the end of a chain, or sus pended to a bracelet; there was a slip of paper, and on it these few word* were written: | "Barbara, will you accept thia from me in my own character of Bertie Carlyon? “ Miss Earle, understanding ^exactly how much that meant, resolved upon taking time for deliberation before she made any reply. On the morning following, Bertie wa* anxiously waiting for her appear ance ; but Barbara avoided any tete-a- tete with him. The day after was sport in preparing for the grand ball, which Lord Bayneham declared should excel (Continued « I) i I husband’s question—"just a little, Claude I am tired with pleasure and happiness; it is all so bright and beautiful.” Lord Bayneham smiled. To Hilda’s great surprise the countess, who had never embraced her since her wedding- day. went up to her. and kissed the face that flushed with joy as she did What could be better on a fine spring morning than a bowl of crispy Kellogg’s Com Flakes ★ . . . with plenty of nice cool milk and a bit of fruit.

Al- urn ya otren-freihl CORN Lady Hutton’s Ward (Continued from page seven) any given in the county; and its queen was to be his fair young wife. The evening so anxiously looked for came at I ast. The whole neighbor hood around Bayneham seemed alive with the rolling of carriages. The Castle was one blaze of light and warmth. The ball was brilliantly and numerously attended. It was something like a dream of Fairy-land—the rich hangings, the fragrant exotics, the little scented fountains that rippled so musically, the gleaming of jewels, the sweet, soft music, the bright, beauti ful faces. Lord Bayneham’ felt proud of the ladies of his house. The countess was dressed with more than her usual magnificence.. Barbara wore a beuuti- ful'costume of green velvet, with rich golden ornaments. Lady Hilda looked mure beautiful than he had ever seen her in some wonderful combination of white satin and costly lace, with the far famed Baynham diamonds shining in her golden hair and round her white neck. Hilda was the queen of the brilliant throng, admired and flattered. the homage of great and famous men floating round her—her every word received with smiles, her every wish complied with. She bore her honors meekly, with sweet unaffected grace, never forget ting in this, the supreme hour of her triumph, the wants and wishes of others. Her guests declared Lady Hilda was a iwrfect hostess; no one was forgotten or overlooked. The great county magnate, the Duke of Laicham, had purposely delayed a journey he meditated, in order to at tend the Bayneham ball. He opened it with Lady Hilda, who delighted her stately mother-in-law by the way she conversed with one whom the countess held high in esteem. Soon afterward the duke, conversing with Lady Bavneham, expressed his great admir ation of her son's wife. It was a brilliant and successful eve ning. more so, iwrliaps, to Bertie than to anv one else. He secured two waltzes with Barbara, and probably spent the happiest moments of his life in the conservatory with her. "Barbara," he said, as they stood watching the lamps that glowed like pale moons among the green plants— "Barbara, do you accept or refuse my little present?" "The golden apple?" she said, with a smile; ‘•neither, Mr. Carlyon, I hold it in reserve." "Is there any hope for me, Bar bara?" he said, his handsome face flushed with joy. "I have loved you ever since I knew how to appreciate what is noble and good. Cpuld you ever care for me?” “It will deponed upon yourself," she replied. "When you come to me with some claim to admiration and respect, you shall have my answer. I shall say more when you have accomplished some of those great deeds we spoke of."With that answer Bertie Carlyon had to be contented. CHAPTER XVII No one enjoyed the ball at Baync- ham more than the stately countess, who rejoiced in seeing all those of brill iancy and note in the county assembl ed under her son’s roof. She listened with exquisite delight to the praises the Duke of Laicham lavished upon his young hostess. As Barbara could never be mistress of that grand old castle it was well to have some one whose beauty and grace were so uni versally admired.When Lord Bayneham joined his mother, asking her to take a walk through the rooms with him. he was surprised and delighted to find that for the first time she spoke with warm affection and admiration of his wife; still more when they came to a quiet little boudoir, where Hilda had sought refuge for a few minutes’ repose. “Tired," she said, in answer to her u«u<4 W-soo, Oetsri. ook for the name Moffat and the Blue Star Seal "You have charmed me this evening, Hilda," said Lady Bayneham, kindly. "I shall begin to believe that you win all hearts." She passed on leaving the huband and wife together. “Claude,” said Hilda, *4 . am happy. I had but one shadow trouble—that was, I feared mother would never love me. But she does; she will care for me almost as much as she docs for Barbara Earle." "A,great deal more." replied Lord Bayneham, looking at the fair, loving face. "Then I have nothing, left to wish for," said Hilda, with a sigh of un utterable content.“I can not stay with you, Hilda,” said the young earl “Rest a few min utes, then I will fetch you.” She smiled as he looked at her; and marffr long years passed before Claude Bayneham saw the same expression of hanninss on her beautiful face. In the far distance Hilda heard the sound of the music, broken every now and then by .the wailing of the wind, that bent the trees, and mourned with the cry of a lost soul round the castle walls. She was a very fair picture, seated in the dim, mellow light of the little boudoir, the fire-light gleaming in her costly jewels, and throwing a half halo around her golden head. The remembrance of Lady Bavneham’s words was sweet to her. Young, beau tiful, and loved, she had not one sor row or care.She might have laughed at. the dismal wail of the was chanting some sorrowful dirge of grief and want, woe and death. What had such to do with the beautiful, bril liant lady, who listened, with a smile on her lips, thinking how perfectly happy she was? Then, remembering she had promised Bertie Carlyon the last dance before supper. La** Hilda rose to return to the ball-rom “I was just coming for vOu,” said Lord Bayneham. drawing his wife’s arm in his; “Greyson has been here in search of you. He wants to speak to you; it is something about the rangements, I suppose. 1 will send I to »-ou." Greyson was the butler, who : served 1-ord Bayneham’s father, ; was consequently looked upon as valuable and confidential servant. He approached Lady Hilda, looking care fully around to sec if any one could hear what he had to say. His young mistress stood near a large recess; it was half divided from the ball-room by a thick crimson curtain. “My lady,” he said, producing a fold ed paper,” I have been asked to give you this, without letting any one sec or hear of it.” Lady Hilda hastily opened the note. It was almost illegible, as though the hand that twrote it had trembled and shook. “Lady Hilda Bayneham," it began. “ the doctor tells me I am dying. I have been dying for two days past, but I can not leave this world until I have seen you. I shall have no answer to the questions 1 must be asked unless 1 sec and speak to you. It is from the threshold of eternity I summon you. .Do not delay; and as you value the love and happiness around you. do not say one word of this. I am lying at the cottage near the Firs.” “How strange I” said Lady Hilda as she read the little note over again. “Who brought this, Greyson?" "Old MrvPaine, from the Firs, my lady.’ “Was any message left with it?" she inquired. “None," replied the man, "except that she asked me to give it to you as soon as you were quite alone.” The butler imagined, as old Mrs. Paine had done, that it was a request for alms. Every one in sorrow or want sought Lady Hilda, ^nd no one ever sought her in vain. As there was no more to be said, Greyson hastened to resume his duties, leaving the lady bewildered and sur prised with the note in her hand. •eal for money." : anxious over it. the letter, for what is too of your winter wind.

Yet they were solemn words; she heard them above the soft, sweet, dream-like music that filled the ball room—above the courtesies and hom age offered to her; above the voice of flattery and love they rang out clear, cold, and solemn, “From the threshold of eternity 1 summon you." Bertie Carlyon wondered what spell lay on those rosy lips—they were mute and still; the bright, beautiful face had a troubled, wondering look. “I fear you are very tired Hilda,” said Lord Bayneham to his young wife. “I am not tired," she replied, hastily, was but a of soliciting Then she stopped abruptly, remem bering those other words, “As you value the love and happiness around you, do not say one word of this.” “You are what?" said Lord Baync- hzm. smiling, yet wondering why his wife’s face flushed and the words died upon her lips. / She made some evasive reply, and turned away. It would have been a great relief to have shown him the note and asked him what he thought. He would have understood it, but a strange fear and dread had seized the brilliant lady; she dared not disobey that command. At the head of that sumptuous ban quet she was obliged to talk and listen, obliged to give her whole attention to her duties. Yet there Were many who thought their you ng hostess look ed strangely tired and distraite. She was grateful when the Duke of Lale- ham tqpk his departure. The guests were not long in following his ex- pie. "We have had a delightful night," said Barbara Earle, as the little family group assembled in the boudoir; “but how pleasure fatigues one. I propose—and you must second my resolution, aunt—that no one speaks another word. Let us retire; Hilda looks tired and worn out." "Though it would be delightful to talk over the ball," said Bertie, "I for one obey Miss Earle;" and off he went to the smoking-room. Yet even when they were all gone, when she stood in -her room alone, Hilda still heard those mysterious words. “Who is it," she thought, "thaj from the threshold would summon my. love, my sorrow, and despair? Lady Hilda Bayneham found herself unable to sleep. The golden head tossed wearily to and fro. For the first time she listened to the wailing of the wind, as to a strange wild music that told of sorrow and despair. “I will end this suspense," she thought. "No one will be down much before twelve. I will rise at eight, and go to the Firs. If Claude discovers that I am out he, will think I am tak ing a morning walk" Yet even that, the first concealment she had ever practiced in her simple, guileless life troubled her. It was a gray, cold morning—there w-as not even the glimpse of a sun beam—when Lady Hilda dressed her self for her walk.“You will be cold, my lady," said her maid, who wrapped a thick cloak around her. "Yes," replied Lady Hilda; “bqt a long walk this morning will do me good. If Lord Bayneham asks for me, tell him I am gone out, but shall be back soon after eleven.” If Pauline thought there was any thing extraordinary in her lady’s pro ceedings, she made no comment. The air was cold and bleak, the sky dull and leaden; there was a gray mist that hid the trees as Lady Hilda went on her way through the park. Once a new idea came to her and made her pause. “Suppose it should be a plan to rob me?” she thought. "But robbers and thieves could fear no question that should be asked from another world." She reached the little cottage at last. Mrs. Paine was up and busily engaged in preparing breakfast. She looked dazzled and confused when Lady Hilda, her face glowing with exercise, stood suddenly before her. “You have some one very ill," said Lady Hilda, “who wishes to see me." ’l'he -old woman made a profound reverence to the golden-haired lady. “It will be mv lodger, I suppose, my lady," she replied. “She begged me to take a note to you last evening; she is very ill—like to die, the doctor says, any minute." Lady Hilda was relieved to find it was a woman who wished to sec her. “She lies upstairs, mv lady," continu ed Mrs. Paine. "Shall I go up with you my ladv?” “No," she replied, "I need not trouble you. The poor creature wants some little assistance, I have no doubt; 1 will go altne." Even as Lady Hilda went up the narrow staircase. she heard those' sol emn words: "From the threshold of eternity 1 summon you." The mystery was soon to be solved. She knocked gently at the door of the room, and a faint, sweet voice badc her enter.When in after years, did Lady Hilda forget the scene? The room was small, but clean, and even pretty. There was a little white bed with white hangings, a neat toilet table with a few ornaments. A little table stood near the bed; a small fire burned cheerily in the grate. Lady Hilda entered the room quietly, moving gently, lest any sound should annoy the one who lay dying there. She went up to the bedside, and then uttered a low cry of surprise. White and worn, - with a deep shade upon it, lay the same beautiful face she had seen in the summer. The woman before her was the one who had asked her so long ago for a flower at the lodge gates. The sad, large eyes seemed to burn as they looked at her; the lips trembled and quivered, but could not utter a word. "You wish to see me," said Lady Hilda, bending over her. "I came as soon as I could. I have disturbed you. Wait a few minutes, and then you will be better able to speak to me." The burnng eyes closed as she spoke, and Lady Hilda stood silently gazing at the beautiful, sad face, wonderng what was the story it told. Deep lines of sorrow were on the broad, white brow and round lips. As she gazed upon the face, it seemed in some strange way to become familiar to her, as though years ago she had seen and loved it in her dreams; then the faint, sweet voice was heard again. “Are you Lady Hilda Bayneham?" “Yes," she replied, “I am Lord Bayneham’s wife." "You were Lady Hutton’s ward?" continued the sick woman. “Yes," said Lady Hilda, quietly, “she was my adopted mother; I knew no other.”She stopped abruptly, for the dying lips utter a wild cry, and the white face was turned to her with a look of deadly anguish that was almost despair. “Hushl" said Lady Hilda, gently; ’what is it? You will make yourself worse. What can I do for you?" The woman held out a thin white hand, and clasped the soft fingers of the young girl; she held them up to the light, looking at the costly rings that glittered there. “Let me see your other hand," she said. Lady Hilda gave it to her, and she glanced eagerly at it On tliF third finger shone a plain gold ring. When the sick woman saw it, she pressed it eagerly to her lips. "Who gave you that ring?" she ask ed. “Lady Hutton," was the reply. "She placed it on my finger on my sixteenth birthday. Why do you ask me these questions? What do you know of me?" - For all answer, the sad, sweet eyes looked into her face, as though trying to read every thought of her heart. “I could not die until I had seen you," she said. “I have hungered and thirst ed for one look at your face, for one word from your lips. My heart craved for you, so that I could not die.__ 1 am breaking my oath, but it was a cruel one; besides, 1 must know what answer to give, when I stand before the great white throne. God gave me a nrecious jewel, and I left it with another. He will ask what I did with it. What shall I say?" Lady Hilda thought the poor woman was raving and she laid her cool hand upon the hot brow. Still those sad eyes seemed to drink in every change on her face. “When I gave my jewel away," she continued, ”1 swore that I would never reclaim it; but I can not die until it is mine again. She will know, perhaps, in the* other world that I have broken my oath—it must be so. Hilda, look at me. Have you no memory of me? Have you never seen me before?" “Your face is familiar to me," replied Hilda, wondering at the strange ad dress; "I have seen something like it in my dreams." "Nothin'- more?" cried the woman, a wild sob bursting from the pale lips. “Is there no memory of the long sweet nights, when that golden head was pillowed on my breast; of the long days when I nursed you in my arms; of the h ot tears I have shed over you —is there nothing that tells you of Come Away, Cone Away and Pky Well Wear our Bunny Foot Shoes To-day, They do not bind or aqueeae our too; And They Wear and Wear u our Mother Knows.

She told the sad story of her married life, with its wretched ending, when the gay handsome lover of her youth stood in the dock, and the fatal sent ence was pronounced against him— how he wanted her to join him in that far-off land: and in order to do so she had parted with her only child. "It was noj that I did not love you, darling." pleaded the sweet faint voice. "I died in that hour; life has only been a burden to me sincy. .J had nothing to give you but ilftmc, misery, and reproach, the burden of a tainted name, poverty, and toil. She gave wealth, honor, and all that the world esteems. I knew you would be happy with her, for she loved you. Still. I could not face my Maker until 1 knew from my child's own lips that she was happy and well-cared for. I am dying fast; call me mother once again." I-ady Hilda laid her face upon her mother’s; she touched the pale brow with her warm loving tips. "Mother," she whispered, "I begin to remember you. 1 love you, and have nothing to forgive." There was a strange likeness be tween the two faces—one wearing th* pallor of death, the other rich in youth's best beauty. ".Mother," whispered Lady Hilda, "let me send for my husband to sec you." "No. my dear child." said her mother, starting, “that can not be. I have not come to drag you down to my level. Hilda—to bring shame and di«gracc upon you—to humble the pride of thise who claim you now. Keep my secret as I have kept it. I only came to sec you once more—to hear you call me mother, to kiss your face, and touch with my hand the golden curls I remembered and loved so well I shall be buried where you can come at times to see my grave, but the stocy of ray life must not be Jpld. Hilda, swear to me that you win never reveal what you now know." (Standing by her mother's death bed, Lady Hilda Bayneham made a vow to keep her• secret faithfully and truly, and never to reveal one word of what passed. "You arc very beautiful," said Mag dalen Hurst, fondly, as her hand ling ered on the golden curls; "tell me,arc you very happy, darling?—does Lord Bayneham love you very much?” Hilda told the simple story of her love—told it with sweet shy little blushes woman "Has parent* "Hi* "but all that seems to be forgotten now."

"I have little more to say, my darl ing." replied Magdalen Hurst. “I must give you one warning. * Your father would like to discover you now. He knows you were adopted » by a wealthy lady.

Her name was Magdalen Hurst," she replied, with quivering lips. The golden head drooped more sadly. She was quite alone; there was only the gray wintcry sky above her head, and the thick mist around her. No sunshine mocked her with its light, no birdds with their soing. She knelt ont the ground, and laid her head on the iron rails. In this the hour of great sorrow and desolation, there was no human heart for her to trust: she must hear her sorrow alone and unaided. Lady Hilda wept as she had never done before, and never did again. She wept for her dead mother, for the vanished happiness of her own life, for the wreck of her hopes and love. Tears brought relief to her burn ing bewildered brain. The cool wind refreshed her. She brilliant party who waiting for her. Lady Hilda knew possible for her to return to the cott age, if her vow and secret were to be keot. She bent once more over the quiet dead face, and kissed the smiling cold lips.

In same cold, tearless voice she gave hi final orders to Mrs.Paine. a "Let the funeral take place at o'clock on Tuesday afternoon," said. “1 will see you again when all over." Like one in a dream she left the cottage where her dead mother lay. The gray mist had become damper and thicker—it seemed to enfold her like a garment. Despite the cold fog, when Lady Hilda reached one of the iron scat* placed in the broad path, she sat down not to rest, but to collect her thoughts. Her brain whirled—it was impossible to arrange her idea*. She was stunned and dizzy. Could she have been dreaming? Last night, only a few hours ago, she was in the brilli ant throng, beloved and admired, per fectly happy, without a cloud in her sky; now she was sick with the weight of her own misery. Mingled with the grief she felt for her beautiful mother’s cruel fate, came the thought of what she was—the Countess of Bayneham, wife of one of England's proudest earls, the bearer of a name great and illustrious, yet the child of shame and reproach, the daughter of a convicted felon, of an unprinci.-'-J man, whose cruelty had doomed her her for many Place Your Order For Your May 24th Suit MADE TO MEASURE In view of the increasing influx of orders for suits for May 24th deliv- I cry, we would advise you placing your order now.

She, the convict's daughter, had no right to be mistress of that proud home, wife to the n oble, brave lord who ruled over it. It was then nearly eleven; she had to walk home, and prepare to meet her husband. There was no time to lose; she went through the park with rapid steps.

Miss Earle smiled at her cousin, but looked anxiously at Lady Hilda. "I am afraid all this gaycty has been too much for you,” she said, kindly. "You look very ilL Rest to-day, and I wilF do all I can to supply your place." Lady Hilda was thankful for the respite, and gladly consented to return to her own room until dinner-time, when she would be obliged to appear among her own guests. "Pauline tells me you went out early for a walk,” said Lady Bayneham. “If I had known it, you should not have gone alone." ”1 did two things,” she replied, try ing to speak indifferent, turning her fair startled face from him. “i went sick for died “if\he knew I' for a walk, and called to see a woman who has been lying ill Sheipled a time at the fir* cottage.

"Read to me, if you will be so kind," she replied, for she dreaded being alone again; she knew thinking would almost become madness. The young earl sat by her side; un consciously one hand lingered on her golden head, where lately her mother's dying hand had laid. He read in a soft, low voice. She drew his hand from her hair., and pressed it to her bps. She would have given the world, poor child, to have told him her secret. He looked so calm and strong; even should he send her from him. as un worthy of his name, it would be better than the slow torture of suspense she must undergo; but the vow made to her dying mother scaled her lips. Of a deeply religious and reverent nature, it scemd to her a sacrilege to dream of breaking it. Wave after wave of thought rushed over her heart and mind while the soft tone of her husband's > voice sounded like a soothing melody in her ear*. Wearied and tired, and exhaust ed by want of sleep and grief, the violet eyes closed gently, and Lady Hilda for a time forgot all her sorrows. Lod Bayneham saw that she had fallen asleep; he closed his book and watched the fair young face he loved so well. Half an hour passed, and then a change came over the sleeper. He saw her lips quiver, while long-drawn sighs parted them; then she started up crying. “It was not my fault. Claude, I knew nothing of it. Do not send me away.." “My darling." said her husband, gently, “you are dreaming. What is the matter?” "1 thought you were angry with me," she said, confusedly. “Which show* how foolish dreams are,” said Lord Bayneham; hills will become valleys, and the seal turn into dry land, before that comes to pass.” “Would nothing ever cause you to love me less?" she asked, wistfully. “Nothing, my pretty bluebell," he replied; “I do not think I could love you more, and I am certain I shall never love you le<*.

April 25th, at 2 p.m., at the home of Mrs. James Miners, which was largely attended.

She was of a most bright and cheerful dispositon, and will be sadly missed by all who knew her. Born In the passing of James Elliott a link that has bound us to the pioneer days of Oxford and Elgin counties has been served. Born in Wicklow County. Ireland, in 1842, he and his widowed mother came to Brownsville settle ment in 1846, when it was practically an unbroken forest. Early in life he was thrown on his own resources, and by industry and economy acquired a fine home and farm in North Bayham. He was continually associated with the Brownsville Cheese Company, until it was disolved, and then her purchased and controlled the North Bayham factory for many years. He is lhe last of the pioneer cheese makers of the district, having started cheese making in 1868 in the North Bayham factory. While this may be interest ing as regards to his associations with thhe dairy industry, still much more as a man in his dealing with his fellows and, especially with his employees; he ever played the part of a gentleman, true fair and ever courteous, he was recognized as the poor man’s friend. Possibly the choicest tribute to his true worth was the attendance at his funeral of so many of his former em ployees, who now fill positions of trust and responsibility. In 1877 he married Ms* Agnes Dobbie, who predeceased him eight years ago, which proved to be a unity of kindred spirts, and their home was every characterized by hospitality and kindness. He was a methodist in religion, and theugh quiet he was ever true to his high trust and by a consistant life was respected by all. generous n his contributions to all worthy evauses, but especially to North Bayham church, which was of special interest to him.

Once Barbara Earle came in with a glass of rare old wine. She found her awake, but with a strange expression on her face. “Drink this. Hilda," said Miss Earle; "it is almost magical; you will feel well after it. Lady Bayneham asked me to bring it myself.” "She is very kind," said Hilda, wearily,' the same sad thought running through her mind—“what would she say if she knew?" "I* anything wrong, Hilda?" asked Miss Earle, looking steadily at the fair, sad face; “you arc tired. But you scemd to be more frightened than ill. Surely vou have not seen any of the Baycham ghosts. Claude firmly believes in them.” "I shall be well soon," said Hilda, evasively, thinking, poor chiuld, how truly Barbara spoke.
