No. 3 Highway Opened I tnmenie'Throng Gather* to Enjoy the Festivities Connected with the Event —Enjoyable Program and Street Dancing Main Feature*. A crowd estimated at close on 4,000 people attended the official opening of Provincial Highway No. 3 between Aylmer and Tillsonburg last evening, and the heavy shower at eight o'clock sent a large number of cars on the way home before they arrived at the scene of festivities. Mr. John L. Stansell, cx-M.P., acted as chairman in his usual capable manner, and read a telegram from the Hon. George S. Henry, min ister of public work* and highway*, that he had been unavoidably de tained in Toronto, and the announce ment was a disappointment to many followers and friend*. The chairman believed thi Highway No. 3, on account of its wonderful scenic beauty throughout this part of Ontario,' would soon be carrying the bulk of American traffic from border to border, and the building of the road would mean a good many thousands of dollars to Aylmer. Tillsonburg and in termediate points. He welcomed the large number of visitors lo the Garden of Eden of Ontario, and invited them to conic back often. Motorists were present from every point in the district, and the provincial officers had a severe task on their hand* keeping the traffic in line, and nothing more scriou* happened than a few bent fenders. The booths and highway were illu minated in a finw manner. and wonder ful music wa* provided by the Capito- lian band of London for the dancing, and the crowd was so great at intervals that dancing was almost impossible. It was a great re-union for citizens- of the district, and devoid of anything that has brought street dancing into ill repute in the past. Miss Erie Amos* of Corinth, worthy matron of Arcme Chapter, No. 15, Order of the Eastern Star, acted as master of ceremonies for the dance, and the booths, manned by members of the Order, enjoyed a fine business. Miss Irene Mabee of Tillsonburg, elo cutionist, answered to repeated encores, and her selections were commented upon by the chairman. Messrs. Gal braith and Allen of Straffordville. ren dered a pleasing duet, and several fine solos were rendered by the artists of the band. Looking to the future when the Ingersoll-Tilhonburg road will be paved, connecting the two great high ways, Tillsonburg in a few short years will be situated in the very hub of the tourist traffic of Ontario, and with ex pectations of the road being continued to Port Burwell, local and distant citi zen* will some day realize their ambi tion of being situated close to the finest bathing beach and summer resort on l-aks Erie.

Presbyterian* Hold Picnic Port Dover the Scene of Explosion A very serious accident occurred at the harbor at Port Dover, on Tues day evening, when Mr. VV. C. Coloff's I yacht. "Eleanor* C.." was destroyed) by an explosion and fire. Mr. Clyde ■ Strogus, a licensed guide, had taken I the boat to Port Dover to have the| propeller wheel changed, and after completing this work was returning to their anchorage when the explo sion occurred.. It is thought that when the stern was lifted to make the change some gas must have leaked out of the tank at the rear, and over flowed the vacuum tank, and then.to [ the carburetor. Mr. Strogus and a j boy on board had a narrow escape! from losing their lives, but were res- ■ cued none the worse for their experi ence other than a real shaking up. Mr. Strogus being blown through a partition in the boat. The beautiful yacht wa* completely destroyed, the loss being partially covered by insur ance.

Picnic Aaron Roloson of South Norwich, near Five Points, was accidentally drowned in the water tank of the dairy this morning, during milking time. The water had been left run ning in the tank, and thinking that sufficient had been secured deceased went into the dairy to turn it off. Not returning his brother, who was with him at the time went to investigate, when the unfortunate man was found lying with his head in. the tank. Medical aid was immediately summon ed but nothing could be done for him. It appears that the young man was subject to epileptic fits, and it is sup posed that he was seized with one at this time, and fell over into the tank. As it was clearly accidental no inquest was deemed necessary by Coronor Weston, who was promptly notified of the unfortunate occurrence Deceased was a son of William Rolo son,_J3 year* of age, and unmarried.

The edition of thirty-eight pages is profusely illustrated, giving views of the new and old offices, the new duplex tubular press, with a capacity of 30,000 finished papers in an hour, as well as th cold Washington hand press on which the paper was printed when first established in 1871. I: also give* various interior views ofi the offices, portraits of its founder. I and others connected with its past his- toyr. as well as of each member of its present staff. From a historical point of view the publication will be a valu able one. as it gives a sketch of the town from its early years down to the present as well as much other valuable reading matter. This special edition of The Daily Times entailed no small amount of thought and labor, to say nothing of the expense connected with it.

Business Conditions n , I The monthly letter of the Royal (tank of Canada gives the following I general review of business conditions “ in Canada I Prospects for a satisfactory wheat id crop have seldom, if ever, been more favorable at the end of June, than in c> I92K The general conditions arc similar to those exisiling in 1923. when t, one of the largest crops in the history of the West was produced. Recent rains have provided sufficient tnois- — lure to take .care of the crops for two or three weeks to come, and very little damage has been done by cut worms. f. frost or floods. According to the j. Northwest Grain Dealers Association >• the estimated acreage for 1928 in the prairie provinces amounts to 23^58XXK — acres as compared with 20379,001 acres for the large crop of 1923 and . 21,426,OOfT acres in 1927. This acreage ” then, if-correct, breaks all previout records. Although wet weather in the early spring somewhat delayed seed- - ing; operations in the other parts ol Canada, the present outlook' •for s good yield is favorable.

The St. Marys Journal-Argus pays (h this well-deserved tribute to these municipal servants: "One of the most important and exacting positions in a rural o.mmun- j,_ ity nowadays is that of the Township Clerk. The fact that life is more h< complex tmlay than it was a few years |jf ago, affects municipalities just as it does individuals. The farmer who us- S| <-d to flounder around in a democrat ra and burn candles, now drives a car on a good township road and has hydro. All hlis spells township road superin- leiidciit, hydro bylaws, drainage by- v; laws, reports to the Highway Depart- c< merit, the filling out of questionaircs for Government departments in addi tion to the old-time duties of the Clerk. The Clerk has to be guide, counsellor and friend to green Coun cillors and Reeve, and in order to do ]j so, lie must have a knowledge of law, b, with the wisdom of Solomon. m 'If he does not keep his eye on the rr constant changes in the statute liooks L his Council get tangled in legal diffi- a: cutties and he will likely get the blame. t> For instance, in 1895, an Act was passed repealing the authority of the h Council head to name one of the muni- m cipal auditors. In a municiaplity not c a hundred miles from here, the head y of the Council went on naming an audi- g tor the same as before for over p twenty years before the crjor was dis- u covered. si "To measure up fully to the require- b menu of his job, it will be seen that g the Township Clerk should be a man of e somewhat unusual attainments and- as a matter of fact he usually is. Some of the Clerks who have served, and are serving in this district, arc real pillars in the municipal structure. They serve for small sahrit, far too small in many cases. Th eimportance of their position should be recognized and more generally appreciated by the Township Councils and by the ratepayer*." renl* ot tne Toung Ha.-shoe.

In fact it is becoming rather common, as those who read the daily papers thoroughly can attest The i»oy in question was and is mak ing less than ten dollars a week. In some manner he managed to 'buy a cheap second-hand car on'the "pay as you drive” plan. Ten dollars will not go far in making payments on a car and providing the necessaries of life. Nat urally one of his most pressing neces sities was' gasoline. The car also must be fed.

Indus-1 a trial fatalities are usually looked upon/.: as being the usual type of accident yet; a close analysis of the figures reveals! that most of these are due to t'airiy^ common causes and that often the de-iv gree of severity is purely an "accident."!;. In June the Compensation Board re-l$ ceived a total oi 6306 report* on acci- 'p dents, including 37 fatalities. In the same month, awards totalled $r365*S2.47. of which SK»17*3.t*5 was for medical . aid.

H. Mayo, the noted sur- 1 geon, declares that holidays arc neces- F sary to the prolongation oi life and the * attainment of the highest achievements. K He especially commend* the habit of u English clerks and workmen, who usu- 5 ally spend their week-ends in the '' country or at the seashore, where they * enjoy surroundings entirely different c from those in which their daily tasks arc pursued.

One of the unique feature* of the outing was the fact that Rev. A.

St. Paul's United S. S. picnicked on Iroquois Park on Wednesday. The Open-Air Meeting* On Sunday the lakeside open-air meeting* attracted record crowd*. In the afternoon the rain storm caused people to seek shelter in the pavilion, which was filled to overflowing. Pas tor C. W. King of Broderick church, was the special speaker for the day. delivering excellent addresses on the blackness of the human heart, and it* purification through the blood of our Saviour, and illustrating his addrexe* by crayon sketches on a blackboard. Also Rev. A J. Schultz, gave the first of a scries of specially prepared ad dresses on the subject, "The Holy Ijind—III His Steps," extract* of which arc as follow*: After skirting Mt. Carmel, the procession led along the valley where Siscra met such an overwhelming defeat, and then on to the plain of Esdraelon. where Barak and Gideon won their victories, and where Saul and Josiah were over whelmed in death. Here also the Mac cabees, the Crusaders, and Napoleon helped to make history. While certain portions are indeed barren wilder nesses. large portions are wonderfully fertile, in spite of the centuries of im proper cultivation. Wheat, grapes, tig*, olives and pomegranates make large yields, and wild flowers in many place* form glorious, vivid pictures of variegated colors, such as may be seen in few countries in the world. After through some twenty or thirty miles, through new and absorbing scene*, we came to the upland mount a in-rimmed plain, in which nestles the city of Naz areth. 1100 feet above the level of the sea. It rest* on a very steep slope, en riched by hill* on all sides and in front of the town, and is today as it has been in the past, a quiet rural town, and the homestead of shepherds, craftsmen, vine-dressers, tillers of the soil. Aho the home of Armenian refugees. There arc several precipitous cliffs above the line of house*, hidden for the most part by clumps of prickly pear, cither of which might mark the spot where the men of Nazareth sought to cast Jesus down headlong. The traditional site*: The cave of the Annunciation, the kitchen of Mary, the carpenter shop of Joseph, the stone slab said to hate been used by our Lord and hi* Apostles, and the synagogue in which Jew* stood up to read the scripture*, may or I may not fulfill the condition* of the I Bible narrative*. However, there are I places that we are sure are place* ■ where our Lord spent many an hour in I hi* childhood and youth. One is the I fountain at the edge of the village, which has been its one unfailing source of water supply from time immemorial, and the other is the ridge back of the town which rise* about 500 feet above it. The fountain is still the centre of social life of Nazareth, and here women ■ nd maidens in picturesque attire, con gregate in the cool of the evening to gossip and fill their earthen pitchers as they have done for centuries: and as they did without doubt in Mary’s day. We all waited our turn to have a drink at Mary’s fountain, forgettting the fact that we all drank out of the tame vessel, so eager were we all to drink. From the outlook on the hill may be seen one of the grandest pan oramic view* of Palestine. The high mountains of Napbthali, the snowy dome of Mt. Hermon, the highlands of Bashan and Gilead, the deep depres sion of the Jordan valley, the great plain of Esdraelon. the high mountain* of Samaria and Benjamin, Mt. Carmel and the blue waters of the Mediterra nean Sea—all are included in the sweep of vision on the summit of this commanding eminence. This is the one place, where the three sacred mountains. Tabor. Hermon, and Car mel. are conjoined in one view. Here our Lord must have come to hold com munion with the Father: to drink the fresh breezes from the sea, and to look over the land where His labors and • uffcring were to be undertaken for a sinful race. Thu* Matthew refer* to Nazareth a* the dwelling place of the Saviour and that the prophecy was ful filled that he should be called Nazarcne. All prophecy is going to be fulfilled like wise concerning Him and concerning thi* world and thi* race." exhorted the pastor. Mark tell* u* of the Lord leav ing Hi* home. Nazareth, and walking at least 50 mile* to the Jordan to be baptized by John in Jordan. We fol- . lowed the route a* closely a* we could I and marvelled a* the thought came to 11 u* all: "How far would people walk to- . day to be obedient to Hi* will?” In I the ancient Roman Catholic church in I Nazareth is a baptistry built in or I around the year 300 A.D, and the priest said: "in the early day* of Christianity there wa* only one mode of baptism." I confess I wa* as much surprised as any of our party to hear thi* from a Catholic priest and to be shown the large baptistry in the Catholic church in Nazareth. In fact all old Catholic churches had large bapliitric* used for immersion of both infant* and believ er*, so we learned. "Can any good come out of Nazareth?’’ was the pop ular slam concerning that village. Ye*, the Saviour came from there. Can anything good come from village* to day that have a bad report? Yes, a great revival can start right here—and let it begin right now. And Nathania! said unto Philip, can any good thing come out of Nazareth.' Philip said. “Come and ace.” See who? Jesus, of course.The music for the day was fur- nished by the St. Thoma* Community Orchestra. Lakeview church member* • entertained the visitor* during the day. 1 On Sunday next J. A. Johnston. B.A.. of Talbot Street church, and Radio CJGC. London, will he the special speaker, morning and afternoon, Rev. A. J. Schultz having charge at 7.30 p.m., continuing hi* serie* of addresse* on I "The Holy Laud—In His Steps." Music for the day util be furnished by the Habcrmcll orchestra of Courtland. Rev. R. C. King, who is remaining on the circuit thi» week, will on Tuesday evening preach at Lakeview. On Friday evening a special meeting of the B.Y.P.U. will be held in the local Baptist church, when the topic will be | given by Rev. R. C. King, who will I have for his subject.

Music, it is expected, will be furnished by the Habcrmcll orchestra of Courtland, and a soloist from To ronto.' On Monday Rev. A. J.

The vision of a lovely, wistful, startled girlish face,—looking up at him, when he came upon her solitude unawares, upon the the Point, nearly ten months ago—moved him only to an exclamation of sullen rage and a quick uplifting of his clenched hand, as if he would have struck at even a memory; and yet how fair the girl had been, and how ardently and tenderly the had loved him! “I was sitting somewhere about here, when 1 saw her first," he mutter- Crepes and Rayons $1.39 Yd.

Suddenly there was a little musical tinkle, and Helen uttered a terrified cry; Io! the wedding-ring had slipped from her finger, and rolled upon the ground at her feet. The girl stood like a statue of horor Her weeping ceased, and the night wind dired the tears cheeks. She knelt down searching nervously. “It is an evil omen!" she muttered to herself; "the very- worst of omens! It foretell* the end of our marriage, quarrel*, separation, even-death! Ah! thee quarrel* and parting did not wait for that—it must be death that the. ring foretell*. I remember that my mother’» wedding-ring fell from her finger the night my father died! He said nine, and 1 can hear the church clocks strinking. Can harm have hap pened to him? Oh. God! let me find my ring again, and avert the omen! Let no harm happen to my love! Bet ter my death than his! My ring! Oh. where is it? Oh, my’ poor darling! Heaven avert from you the omen of the ring!” All thi* time »he was searching, but in vain; for the rock was rough, and full of hole* and cranies, and the light was only that of a young moon, faint and dim. From her state of health she was naturally predisposed to nervous terrors, and this one quite overcame her. Nothing could avert the evil which the omen threatened—sh.- t bought—except the recovery of the ring, and as she rubbed her delicate hand* over the rough rock, and bruis ed them until they were lorn and bleeding, with the sharp chink* and jagged holes, ever she murmured to herself, like a prayer— our marriage, and a lew time^ since, we have .been nowhere in cbmpany. Let me see. now—there she is, annd before I meet her I’d better arm my self at all points; let me think what proofs’ of claims this wife of mine can tiring against me!’’ Jlc sat down deliberately on one of the rough wooden seats that were placed here and there along the Black Rock Promenade, and began to recall the past, and map out the future. The figure on the Point paused, and then walked on again. He could guess that she was looking foe him. Imagination and experience Ktured to him her heart's anxiety. Weary, wistful gaze, her patient sigh of suspense and pain, a* she turned to her tedious watch again; but he felt no pity. Only anger and disgust. And the anger was felt, less because she watched and waited for his coming, than because he knew that he had given her a right to do to, which he dared not wholly ignore. Rage at it as he would, the fact re mained that she was his wife, and he must treat her with—well, with some precaution, just for hi* own safety's sake, until he could devise some secure meant of being rid of her. If any one had seen him, as he sat muting there, they would have seen a fine-looking fellow enough with hand some, but uncertain, hazel eye*, and a full mustache And beard of dark brown hair, that hid the lower part of his face effectually. There wa* nothing in his appearance on that night, to mark him as the villain he really was.—ay, was,—for, at that mo ment. as he glanced at the lonely, wait- ing figure of his wife upon the Point, his thoughts and wishes were already black and tainted with the crime that wa* to stain his hands and soul before one near relative, her brother Herbert, who. having been brought up to the sea. was seldom at home, and—thoOgb he loved her dearly—-could give her little of companionship or protection. Her hutband’* love wa* to her a new experience of bliss She had hungered and thirsted for love, as wotntn will, and here was a cup of joy, held to her lip*, which—drink of it a* eagerly and deeply as she would, was ever fresh and overflowing. For Trevor wa* enchanted with his young bride and this new manner of existence; and if a lurking doubt wa* in his mind that what wa* so serious to her was play to him—that this sort consented to be hi* her loving, innocent eye the heart—even he had not the heart —to tell her otherwise; and to left her in her Fool's Paradise for awhile, and presently drifted into it himself along with her. He married her. It wa* one of those insane follies which such men some time* commit to gratify a fleeting pas sion. and which they afterward in evitably regret and curse. Unhappily it is never upon t hcmsclvese, or even upon their folly, that these curse* fall, but always upon their haplcs* victims. She understood that the marriage must be secret for awhile ; that she must return to her position a* govern ess until her husband should be able to acknowledge her. It happened that in Februrary Mr*. Gordon's daughter* went away on a visit, and the lady told her governess that her duties could be dispensed with for three weeks, during which she might be at liberty to take a holiday. Here came the fatal opportunity Helen met her lover at a town dose by, and was secretly married to him; going with him afterward to a pretty lodging where he installed her as his wife. Then Helen entered upon her halcyon days: the brief, bright drcam of happincse* of her life. She had hitherto known but little joy. and much loneliness and sorrow, having been left an orphan before Note the Following Prices: Per doz.

A black and frowning range of solid, »eetling rocks, running along a storm- lashed coast, and. and setting impassa ble bounds, for mile*, for the dark and sullen sea. Somehow the water look ed always sullen and angry at the base of these rocks—perhaps from their re flected blackness. They stood in the swelling, rebellious waves, many fathoms deep and towered above them so proudly and so high, that the sea’s wildest furry could do no worse and no more than splash their tops with occasional flecks of foam, flung with the maddest force of its white crested wave*, when storm* had lashed them into fury. So seldom did the water* reach thus high, howerver. that the summit of thi* cliff wa* bare, swept by wild wind*, or scorched by the burning tation found roots, and e drooped and died, before it could at tain to height or verdure. The black rock* as they were named, formed a natural wall around this portion of the coast, and their bare and level tops made a bleak tableland, which served as a promenade, in the sum mer time, for the inhabitant* of the town beyond the height*, which town I shall, for- convenience call Qifftown. Half way along the chain of rock*, and quite brjond the suburb* of the town, one black and frowning cliff ran far out into the sea. and was known by the name of “The Point." On this lone spot—dark, desolate, bar ren, wild, and forsaken save by one solitary female form—my story open*, on a certain misty, gloomy August night, at nearly nine o'lock. It wa* not only at night, nor upon this particular evening, that the Point was deserted: few people cared to come there, even at the best of time*. The rock was so exposed, and ran so far out into the deep sea. that it was rather a dangerous place wind. beat upon it with , which there wa* no escape. Ordinary people avoided it* dull and barren soli tude: and lover*—to whom solitude is usually desirable—sought for it in pleasanter places than the Point; this unpopularity made it an excellent place to discuis secrets in, however, such a thing a* an eavesdropper be ing impossible—which may have been ! the reason that Helen Clare’s lover i had chosen it as their rendezvous from the very beginning of their ac- I quaintance. and was assuredly the I reason why he had selected it as the I scene f their meeting to-night. It had been hi* choice. Helen reflec- I ted bitterly, as »he paced up and down. I waiting wearily.—hi* choice, not her*. True, she had never objected to the | place—how could she?

As he walk ed along the rocks he could see. from a certain distance, her figure, in distinctly defined against the sky, »o indistinctly that only one who expect ed her to be there, and looked for her carefully, could have made out what the moving object was. He muttered a curse as his eyes fell on her, and stood still. "If a wind would arise now, and sweep her into the sea," he muttered, “it would be well for me!

For instance, in the last fiscal year year, ended March 31»t. the Dominion's total export* were valued at more than a billion and, a quarter dollars, or to be exact $1250.- 456297. This ........ — --------- trade of more ------, . ' man, woman and child in Canada. At the biginning af the present century Canada's export trade amounted to les* than 2(W million dollars. Another method of gauging Cana da « export trade is found jn the fact that last year the country’*'exports of manufactured products alone amount ed to about the same as her total produc tion of manufactured product* in 1900. in other words. Canada is exporting as much in manufactured article* to-day as the total output of ci in lhe Dominion twen^-eight years ago. These few figures may , give readers some comprehension of the immense increase in export business. Most public men and business men. ! no matter what their politics may be. agree that export trade is possibly the most valuable asset the Dominion can have. Canada' natural resource* are so varied and so rich that it would be impossible for Canadian* to consume ing the oldest and them. Take wheat for cj manricstly impossible for 9.0W.W0, people to consume 4IKi,(WO.<XIO bushel* 1 to their respective oi wheat annually. Canada’s i prosperity therefore i* bound up seeking markets abroad for her surplus ’ You Till W production. When Canadian business men seek to sell their products in other lands. ... . they cannot hope to control price*, feeling they had had the best time in They have to meet competition from thousands of other business men and producer* living in other countries.! They arc faced with fierce world ■ competition in maintaining their hold i t ’i Tn fhtx Dominion.

To maintain this radc of a billion and a quarter dollar* year and to increase it, Canadian* must become acquainted with every egitimate method known to busines*.

In fact. Canada had the firn trade commis sioners abroad, thu* inaugurating a s;.-•.cm which has been widely copied. To-diy this country has 24 trained tra !t commissioners in strategic busi- n«i» centres. More men are now in training to go to other places. The government ha* by subsidy, and other means, obtained first-class shipping facilities to these business centres. The trade commissioners are constantly on the alert, seeking out opportunities for the selling of Canadian products. Whenever they learn that there is a chance of a Canadian order being placed, they immediately communi cate with the Commercial Intelligence Service at Ottawa, giving all informa tion they possibly can. This informa tion in the possession of the service at Ottaway is at the disposal of any Canadian producer or manufacturer. I well, This system, the result of some years' experience, is thoroughly organized and working smoothly. To-day lhe Canadian manufacturer or producer can find out with little trouble, and no expense, if his products can be prifit- ably marketed in almost any part of the world. So encouraging have result* been from the export system adopted by Canadian, and *o well have Canadian goods been received abroad, ’hat it is fairly prophesied that within a decade Canada's export* will mount to double the present figure.

Owing to the rainy night there were only a few present and several items of the programme had to be omitted. HYMN “Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh. When the bird waketh, and the shadows flee; Fairer than morning, lovelier than the daylight. Dawn* the sweet consctousness 1 am with Thee." PRAYER "O God, we would be quiet that we may hear Thee as Thou dost speak to Is. We live in such a busy world, with so many interests, and with such confusion and noise on every hand, that Thy voice is drowned by the turmoil. We would be still that we may know that Thou art God. Grant unto u* peace amidst the strife. Quick en our ear* to hear the word* of Thy spirit within us. Keep our soul* tentative to every good impulse. May we realize that those good desires which in us burn are kindled by Thy grace, and help us to yield ourselves to them. Amen." SCRIPTURE Mark 6 JO-44. MEDITATION Mark 6:31:“And he said unto them. Come ye apart into a desert place, and rest awhile. “The art of resting is rapidly becoming lost. Even during the period* when folks are not actually engaged in toil, they are rushing hither and thither with restless activ ity. The physical result is that while life is conserved as never before in infancy and childhood, more elderly people are dropping dead, and suffer ing complete nervous breakdowns, than ever before in the world's history. Sunday, the day set apart for rest, ha* become with many a day of hectic tearing along the highway*, with con sequent nerve strain and stress. The spiritual consequences are more alarming than the physical. Man can not live by bread alone, and it requires time to minister to the welfare of the soul. One hesitates to think of the future of those who are giving no time or thought to their spiritual needs.

He had had many evanescent loves, and his experience had given .him no exalted idea of women's constancy. Helen would be like the rest of her sex. of course, and forget him—mean time he wa* even willing to humor her by visiting her (always secretly) now and then, and thus, as he calculated, weaning her from her affection •by degrees. ‘ But his patience and consideration did not last long: each time he saw her he hoped to find her changed and cold, and each time she disappointed him. He began to fear that he should not be able to get rid of her so easily, after all; she began to be the occasion of anxious thought and care to him; and then—his passion, which was never love, having cooled and died— his pity for her, and vain complacency in her affection, turned suddenly to bitterness and dislike She was beautiful and good, and she adored him. but for all this she wear ied him inexpressibly. She wa* not of hi* kind, nor of his world, and her confiding love and modest purity while all very proper in a wife, of course—were valueless in his eyes, be cause lie did not want a wife, and was inclined to quarrel bitterly with her for having "entrapped him" into tak ing one. She had been quickly won. he remembered; and. by all his experi ence of female kind, she ought to have wearied of him as easily. But it was always the way witth girls—he had heard it said a woman will forget a score of loves, and yet cherish fondly the memory of the first, though it may- have brought her only misery. And then he cursed bitterly his own weak folly in having put it in the power of any innocent girl to think of him— through all the years of her blighted and desolutc womanhood to corne as the one nun of the world to whom Seat Nature had made her wife,—her st and last love. That Helen wa* also legally his wife went for nothing with him. The mar riage being so secret had been no restraint upon him. and he argued that she ought think it merely a* a compliment which he had paid to her scruples, and not dream of holding him bound. "No one but ourselves need ever know,’ he thought. "Lord knows J shall never trouble her if she’ll let me alone: why can't she be sensible?” And he began to consider whether his best plan might not be to stay assay from her without a word of warning, and. when time should have convinced her that she was forsaken indeed, let her do the best she could. Helen spoiled this plan, however The very next time they met she said to him, with sad reproachfutncss: "James, why- did you marry me under a false name? And why did you never tell me that Mrs. Gordon knows you by your true one? The thought that you would deceive me—for any rea son—has almost broken tny heart!” And she wept bitterly. It was quite in vain for him to blust er and deny—as he was at first inclin ed to do. She had not accused him. nor credited a word against him, untn she bad proofs of his deceit. “I went down to the city yesterday,” she said, “and saw you at your place of business, while 1 was myself un seen. And there I found that the name you arc known by—your real name, James—wa* that by which Mrs. Gordon spoke of you. Oh. my hus band, why- have you deceived me thu*!” iThen he lost his temper. As well end thi* business here and now, he thought, a* play a part of which he had grown weary, any longer. He could not *lip out pi lhe marriage now —she held the certificate, and she Look for it on the dealer’s counter WRIGLEYS RK More for your money and the best Peppermint Chewing Sweet for any money ci c knew; she would hardly- consent to live with him a* a wife on sufferance merely; he would quarrel with her. and sting her in to revolt, and then make the first hasty word she might say a pretext for their separation. “1 am, to you. Jame* Trevor, or any thing 1 please,” he said, roughly. "And I don't expect or permit you to pry into my affairs or ask me questions. How dared you go to my oflicie yester day? A fine thing if any one had noticed you there! My idiotic folly in marrying you has done me harm enough without that! I told you in the bcgiiining.’’ he added, watching her furtively, "that it might be long be fore I was able to acknowledge you as my wife; now I see that 1 may never be able to do so; then what is my name to you?” He spoke with brutal roughness, ex pecting to enrage her, but she disap- |M>inted him utterly. The poor girl, looking at him in astonishment, and seeing that he was angry, thought it wa* his anger that spoke thu* cruelly. She thought with one litle word to disarm hi* rage, and coming up to him slipped two little hands over his arm, and loked up at him with a face that blushed and paled alternately. "Don't be angry with me,” she pleaded tenderly. "It is true that I am your wife, all the same, whatever your name may be. But, love—though the name may be of little moment to me. it is an important matter”— here she crept closer up to him and hid her face against his breast—"to our child, Jame*!’’ CHAPTER IV The Last Meeting That was the finishing stroke He had never even thought of such a piece of ill-luck a* thi*, and, when it came, it confounded him. He sat down, mute and stunned for a moment, and stared at her. "Our child!" he repeated, almost faintly. "Why you don't mean to say that—" And then, as he saw her blushes and smile* and tears, and realized, beyond possibility of mistake, what she did mean, sudden fury siezed him'; and he broke into such a perfect frenzy of oaths and curse* that the |x»or girl shrank from him in terror and dismay, and fell—fainting with terror and anguish—at hi* feet. Thus ended Helen's brief bright drcam; thus came her rude and rough Monument to Heroic War Nurse Mount Edith Cavell, fa Jasper Na tional Park, which will be vuited by Canadian Weekly Newspaper editors and their wives after their Edmonton conven tion is one of the most strikingly beauti ful peaks within easy reach of Jasper Park Lodge, and it is easily reached by means of the Cavell motor highway, which, after skirting the scenic golf course for which Jasper Park is now world-famous, climbs from the Athabasca Valley to the very foot of the Glacier of the Angel*. Mount Edith Cavell was named in honor of Britain s heroic war nurse, and a visit to Jasper National Park inspired the following article by Thomas Arlde Clark, Dean of Men, Uni versity of Illinois, which was contri buted to the Chicago'Daily News. "When Simon Garvey died—that was a good many years ago—he left a con siderable sum of money to put up a monument to his memory. It was an im posing structure, as monuments went m our community, of sandstone and at tracted attention. "I saw it a few weeks ago.when I visited the old cemetery. Time has ravished it Rain and hail and frost have eaten into it, and the foundations, none too firin at the beginning, are gradually will have been forgotten. "Every normal human being cherishes the thought that be will do something during bis lifetime that will cause bun to be remembered. "Our friends have the same feeling about us, and it is that feeling which fill* cemeteries with monuments to the dead. "Some of the most beautiful and won derful structures of the world were built in honor of individuals—the Taj Mahal fa India, the pyramids fa Egypt, and the tomb of Victor Emmanuel in Rome, and that most beautiful monument in our own country, the memorial to Lincoln at Washington."In modern times, at least, we have given much honor to the man who won distinction or gave his life fa war. The tall shaft that rises high fa the midst of Trafalgar Square keep* Nelson’s achievement* always before the mind* of the busy Londoner. But these monuments, glonous as they are, seem fasignificent and tawdry when compared with the monument which the Canadian* have dedicated to a woman—Edith Cavell. "It rises 10,000 feet or more, towering above the surrounding peaks, one of the most beautiful of the beautiful mountain* fa the Canadian Rockies, snow-covered even in mid-summer, its ‘ghost Glacier hanging like a nun's veil over its glonous "One cannot keep his eyes off it.

From that hour she found her»elf avoided by her husband, and. a* her beauty faded and her health and spirit* failed, from the combined cause* of her phusical con dition and her distress of mind, it seemed to her that not only her em ployer. but other* cast coldly curious glanced at her. that made her face burn red and her blood run cold, aS she said to herself "They suspect me I Oh, merciful Heaven, they look upon me with doubt; a doubt that is a dis honor and a shame!*’ Thi* doubt went from look* to word* at last when Mr*. Gordon plainly informed the governess of her suspicions. "I am married!" protested the poor victim of a villain’s cruelty, and show ed her ring. Mrs. Gordon looked in credulous scorn. "Such evidence as that can be pur chased at any jeweler's," said she haughtily. “You can show me a certificate of your marriage, of course,— otherwise you must leave my family." Helen dared show nothing of the kind. She felt that, of all thing* she must avoid offending Trevor, now, for her child's sake. And not only for the child's sake either.-By that mysterious arrangement of nature which governs the hearts of women the man who had been the cause of her present terrible strait, grew daily and hourly the dearer to her heart, because he was the cause; if he had been adored as her lover and her husband, he was worshipped as the father of her child. She could not. for a moment, endure the thought of seriously offending or estranging him. "If you will give me time to write to my husband, 1 will ask his permission to show, you proofs tliat I am a wife,” she said, with dignity, and Mr*. Gor don. influenced by the girl's evident sincerity and self-respect, granted her a respite of a week. "At the end of* which time we must part." she said, coldly, "unless the cer tificate be forthcoming. Understand that. Mis Clare, if you please." Miss Clare did understand it very well. It meant a great deal more, to her, than merely parting from Mrs. Gordon; it meant sudden and disgrac- ful dismissal,'deprivation of the means to earn her daily bread; a»tainanda dishonor clinging to her name, and utter dependence on a husband who had plainly told her he was Weary of lifr. The poor girl wrote him a let ter which was like a wail of agony. "Have mercy upon your child, if not upon me," she prayed. "Sparc u* a public shame, dishonor -seems to me so much worse than death, that, if you cannot acknowledge me as your wife, I beg of you to kill me! God knows that, without your love, I do not value life I’’ Trevor flung the letter from him with a curse. He had just come from the presence of another woman—as fresh, and fair, and innocent as Helen had been when he met her first,— whose youth and beauty and prospec tive wealth tempted him, through in terest and passion at once, with a force that wa* irresistible. Helen’* letter, and Helen's claims, inspired him at that moment with absoulte loath ing. "Acknowledge her!" he cried, with a bitter oath; “I'll *end her to her grave first! What’s to be done? If I •could but get that certificate from her. and persuade her that the marriage was illegal; if any reasonable sum of money would buy her consent to go away, with her brat, and rid me of both fdrever! Something must be ar ranged! I’ll go down to the point once more, and this interview must be our la*t.’ . ,' .So he sat on the summit of the Black Rocks, a* we have seen, and cast about in Jiis mind for words in which to tell the woman, whose heart he had broken and whose life he had spoiled, of her doom—the doom of separation; of a widowhood worse than death can cause; of a heart al ways unsatisfied, hungry, sore; of a trust betrayed, a love cast away, a life's hope ruined. What 'though she had the hope-of a child’s love to cheer , the desolate year*, would not the shadow of her ruin fall also on that child? And could even a child satisfy the longing of her woman's heart, or atone to her for the lo*» of the man she had trusted, and loved, and lost in such a cruel fashion? Heartless a* James Trevor was, he shrank from announcing to her hi* decision; the more so that he felt— as he remembered all her love and all her wrongs that the wa* hardly the woman to accept such a doom from him without a bitter struggle to escape it."Which will do no good to her. and be devilish disagreeable to me!" he muttered, as he arose at last from his seat on the rocks and prepared to join her. Suddenly he uttered a low cry of »urpri*e and incredulity. The Point wa* bare. Even while his eye, had been fixed on his wife's figure she had disappeared-Thc explanation of this was the simplest thing possible, if he could have known it ;shc had knealt down to search for her lost ring. But he did not know it. and his wicked wish quickly fathered the thought of a horrible, yet welcome possibility,—ehc might have grown desperate while waiting for his coming, and flung her self into the sea.He hurried along the cliff*, quickly and hopefully. “There's no wind." he muttered, "else I might hope it had fulfilled the wish I made just now. Her death would be the best possible thing for all of us. Where can she have gone?

Follow the British Empire h the continents and across the seas. There you see beckoning markets for Canada—where fewer trade restrictions intervene, where British tradition is appreciated, where Canada is known. There we can sell. There we can also buy. Canada is buying more Empire goods than ever before—things we cannot grow or make—raw materials for our factories. Since 1922 Canada's imports from Empire countries have increased 67 per cent. Last year we bought Empire goods to the value of $250,000,000. And what is Canada selling the Empire? Last year we shipped $500,000,000 worth of our products to other British lands, an increase of 44.3 per cent, in six years. The Empire Opportunity in Manufactured Goods Of 38 groups of manufac tured goods Canada sells the Empire to the total of $178,000,000. It is to be remembered that the Empire imports from all countries these goods to the amount of $2.571,000,- 000. The British Empire presents a tremendous opportunity for the devel opment of export on these commodities. THE The various parts of the Empire want more Canadian goods. A demand exists among them for Canadian manufactures, or for the products of Canadian lands or waters. But we must see that our exports are maintained at a rigid standard, that they are packed as consumers desire, and that our prices arc right. To encourage this growing Empire trade, eleven of Canada’s twenty- four Trade Commissioners abroad, are working in Empire centres. They are familiar with the demands of the people among whom they live. Their services and the information they gather are at the command of any Canadian producer or exporter. To get into touch with Trade Commissioners, write the Commercial Intelligence Service, Department of Trade and Commerce, Ottawa. When you buy Empire goods, you do a part in making possible greater Canadian exports to these sister countries. Where we sell, we must also buy. ..i.- ' DEPARTMENT OF TRADE and COMMERCE F. C. T.

I mean to do the best I can .for you. Why don't you answer my questions? Where did you disappear to just now?” "I was looking for my wedding ring." she said, with her old distress returning. "Oh, James, it is the worst omen jn lhe wor|d to lose that ring! An evil omen to our marriage—of separation, or even death!" Then she caught his arm and looked up timidly into his face. “Do you believe that >arm will come of it, Jame*? Do you believe in omen*?"

"'Only of parting, and not of death I’ I would prefer death to parting, James I” She glanced timidly at his stern, dark, bearded face, and her own grew white and drawn with trouble and fear. “'Only of parting I”' she repeated again, in dignantly and reproachfully. "What sort of a speech is that from you to me? Good Heavens I" *he went on, ex citedly, "can you—who know my situ ation and my heart—can you doubt, for one moment, what my choice would be if one of these terrible evils you speak of were actually *et for my acceptance? Parting—parting from you, my love, my husband, my child's father, my all that make* life worth having—or mere death!” She paused suddenly in her walk and withdrew her hand from his arm to clasp it over her swelling heart, while a tremu lous. nervous, scornful laugh broke from her lip*. "Why, parting would be death to inc,", she cried, passionately. “If I were to lose you, James. I would not survive you by one hour!” He had stopped when she did, and now stood still.

Station via Brantford ------------------ It rained in Tillsonburg on Sun day. and showers may now be expect ed for the next forty day*, according to the legend attached to St. Swithin’s Day. Vacationists will attach to the tradition such imjiort a* they sec fit. The long-standing belief that St. Swithin’s Day forecasts the weather for the 40 day* following run* thus: "St. Swithin’s Day, if thou dost rain, For forty days it will remain; St. Swithin’s Day if thou be fair, For forty day* 'twill rain nac mair." . The real reason why a long spell of either rainy or fair weather often occurs at this time is because at mid summer there is generally a change in weather conditions. Whether the spell is rainy or fair depends to a great extent on the conditions pre vailing during the spring. If /they were fine, the weather change* to rainy, and vice versa. As for whtf this particular saint has been chosen to be responsible is a very pretty story. St. Swithin Bishop of Winchester, on hi* death bed. requested that hi* body be buried in the churchyard instead of the church. His rcqueM was acceded to, but about a hundred years later the clergy decided to remove the remans into the church, to honor the saint. A downpour of rain which lasted for 40 day* halted their purpose, and was regarded as a direct intervention of Providence. The remains of the saint were left untouched and a chapel built over them. Even this is but a story, however, as it is a historical fact that the ceremony and the removal of the remains were done a* scheduled and the weather was fine. The cere mony took place on July 15th. 971, so that the little weather jingle is about a thousand year* old. France. Belgium and Germany all have a “rainy saint.’ During the past fifty years, fifteen years have been added to the life expectancy of each new-born infant. This has come about chiefly because the scientific knowledge concerning the prevention and treatment of acute infectious diseases has been used. The acute communicable diseases, such as measles, diphtheria, typhoid fever and scarlet fever, are diseases of early life. It is generally known that they are communicable and dang erous. It is agreed that they should , be placed under the control of health j authorities and that they are a state responsibility. Other acute infectious diseases, such a* the summer dia rrhoea* of infant*, arc being success fully combatted.
