The monthly meeting of the town council w*as held in the council chamber last Tuesday evening, all the mem bers being present but Coun. Lamb- den, who is out of town. After the reading of and before the business ing was proceeded with Clark addressed the council that some attention be given the west end of London street. For several years past the residents of this sec tion had sent in petitions asking for improvements to the street, and while other streets had been improved, the residents had nothing but promises to their credit. He thought they were entitled to some consideration. They would at least like curbed this season, could prevail upon to finsh. In reply Clark said that the surface, but gravel and laid by the resident* themselves. The request of Mr. Clark was re ferred to the streets and bridges com- mitte. Mr*. Emma Applcford asked the council to re-considcr their decision re the petition for a ce ment sidewalk on the south side of Saunders street, presented at the last meeting of the council. This was re ferred to a committee of the whole council. Mrs. E. McEwen asked for a rebate of business tax band, who died business was month rebate ing to $15.00. H. E. McPherson, government en gineer, acknowledged receipt of bill for work done on the Borden crescent, and said that the department would give it consideration. , The fire water and light committee recommended that the tender of Wm. Ferguson for the erection of a kitchen at the pump house be aceptcd, at the price of $770.00.^Adopted. Chief Carter submitted his monthly report, showing fees and fines col lected, amounting to $101.95, and dog tax. $3.00. He also recommended that Oxford street, from Broadway to the alley be made a no parking section, owing to the congested condition of the street on Saturday nights. The report was accepted, and on motion of Couns. Young and Fairs Chief Carter was authorized to place no parking signs on that section of Oxford street referred to in his re port. R. B. Moulton asked permision to erect an electric sign in front of his hotel.—Granted. • Mr. Moulton also drew attention to the overflow of water on hi* prop erty at the foot of the hill, and asked that action be taken to prevent it. Coun. Davis said that the com mittee had taken that matter into con sideration and it was left to the chair man of the committee to have it reme died; he had apparently neglected to have lhe work done. To correct false rumors that had been set afloat in connection with the purchase of the waterworks system, Mayor Weston submitted a statement regarding the matter, and said that be fore the by-law was submitted to the people an opportunity would be given for thorough discussion of the ques tion. Until this wa* done he asked the ratepayers to withhold their decision, in their ow*n interests. The question of the purchase of the waterwork* system had been forced upon the council by the waterworks company, who had demanded an increase of at least 60%in the water rate*, or to submit to an arbi;.-.^..—Thc matter had been delayed a* long as possible and finally the company submitted an ultimatum giving the council seven days in which to meet the company’s demand, or arbitrated. Mayor Weton said the criticism had be made that the council Should have acepted the offer of the company for a 20% in crease of rates, rather than to have taken steps towards the purchase of the system. This was branded as a deliberate falsehood. As a matter of fact a committee of the council had waited upon the company with a view to securing better terms, but the lat ter had absolutely refused to entertain anything short of a 60% increase in rales, or arbitration. Rather than accede to the demand of the company the council had deemed it in tljc best interests of the town to take over the waterworks system under the public utilities act, and step* were immedi ately taken to bring this about. The board of arbitration had met and after four days sitting had adjourned. The company then offered td sell the plant at a sum which the council refused to entertain.

To the Citizens of Tillsonburg: As the by-law to acquire the works of the Tillsonburg Waterworks Co. will be submitted to the ratepayers on Sapt 10th, 1928, and as the negotiations be tween the Waterworks Co. and the municipal council have been going on for a period of a year and a half to two years, it is advisable to review the situation from the beginning, so that the citizens will be in a better position to vote intelligently on the by-law. It i* not my intention to give every detail in this communication, but to review the situation in a general way. Before September 10th ample opportunity will be given the citizen* to obtain definite information on every vital point and we hope to have a public meeting to discuss the by-law and also to publish further articles in The Tillsonburg ■ New*. In the meantime, in the inter est* of the town, I would ask you not to come to any hasty conclusion* which would influence you to vote against the by-law, nor to believe any or every rumor that is sent out to influence you against the by-law. The great majority of these originate from sources which arc selfishly interested in defeating the by-law and arc not founded on facts. Following this preamble I will now try to explain the variou* steps that have been taken since the question was first forced upon the municipal council. On April 1st. 1926. the Tillsonburg , Waterworks Co. addressed a communication to lhe town council of that year asking that a committee of the council meet with them to discuss an increase in the rates to be charged the water taker* of the town. A committee, or in fact the whole council with lhe excep tion of your humble servant, did meet Mr. E. V. Tillson in his office in refer ence to the matter, but nothing came of this meeting and apparently the Tillsonburg Waterworks Co. were will ing to let lhe matter drop for the time being and to wait until another council was elected. Be that as it may, noth ing further was heard of the matter until January* 10th. I9Z7, when the Waterworks Co. addressed a letter to the mayor and council asking for an upward revision of rates, and in that same letter advised us that they felt that they were entitled to an "increase of not les* than M per cent, in rate*. The matter drifted along for a while and the company were asked as a basis for discussion, what lesser rate than 60 per cent, they were willing to accept, and the answer was 60 per cent, or ar bitrate. On March 4th, 1927, a letter was sent by the council to the Water works Co. asking for certain informa tion with regard to the income of the company, expenses, etc., and also for a valuation of the plant. On April Sth, 1927, we received a letter giving us the information asked for. which statement wa* published in The Tillsonburg News. They gave the replacement value of I the plant as $248,978.68. and the present or depreciated value as $185.411,80. The council were not anxious to go to arbitration on the question of in crease in rate* and did nothing further until we received an ultimatum from the Waterworks Co. on the 23rd of April, 1927, giving us seven days lol name an arbitrator to act on our be-' half in the matter of fixing by arbitra- j tion the prices to be charged takers of, water in the town. We did not believe | that it was in the interest of the town to go into this question of rale* by ar bitration. which at the best would only settle the question for a period of five years, as the Waterworks Co., under their original agreement of 1895. were entitled to ask for a revision of rate* every five years. We felt that this question should be settled once and for all. not only in the interest* of those living in our town at the present time, but in the interest* of those to follow us. and with that purpose in view we passed a resolution on April 28th. 1927, to acquire the works of the Tillson burg Waterworks Co, and notified the company that we purposed doing so. pursuant to sub-section 4, section 59 of the Public Utilities Act. This section required us to take over the work* by agreement or by arbitration, and the by-law to take over the works of the company must be submitted to the rate payers for their approval before said work* are taken over. In this connec tion the separate costs of the arbitra tion. etc, are to be borne by each party, except that if the by-law is defeated the town has to pay the total cost of the arbitration, solicitor’s fees, engin eer’s fees. etc. This point will be dealt upon iij detail at some future dale. The town Council wa* now committed to definite action in this vital question, and to prepare our case for arbitration it wa* necessary to determine the ac tual value of the works of the Tillson burg Waterworks Co, as it stand* to day. With this end in view the town council engaged Mr. R. O. Wynne- Roberts of Toronto, a recognized au thority on water-works, to make an appraisal of the Tillsonburg Water works. Mr Wynne-Roberts came to Tillsonburg and spent several weeks going over the whole system, and final ly gave u* his appraisal of the Tillson burg Waterworks. We were now ready to arbitrate with the company as to the amount the town was to pay them for their work*. An amendment to the municipal Act in 1927 required that the Senior County Judge be the sole arbi trator in case* of this kind. Judge Wallace, owing to illness, was unable to act and he appointed Judge Boles of Simcoe to act in his stead. Mr. Earl Lawson of Toronto was employed by the council as a consultant solicitor to act with Mr. Donald Gibson of Tillsonburg. The court of arbitration sat in the council chamber early in Decem ber. 1927, with Judge Boles as arbitra tor, and with Mr. Wynne-Robert* and Mr. Wm. Storrie of Toronto repre senting the town as engineers and Mr. Earl Lawson and Mr. Donald Gibson as solicitors. The Tillsonburg Water works Co. were represented by their solicitors and engineer* The court of arbitration sat for a period of four days and adjourned to meet again early in January, 1928. This court of arbitration did not meet again after its adjournment. Following the four days’ arbitration proceeding* the Water works Co, through their solicitors, of fered to make a proposal of settlement (Continued on page six) 70th ANNIVERSARY OF TILLSONBURG AND DEREHAM AGRICULTURAL FAIR AUG. 21-22-23 PLAN TO BE THERE EVERY DAY.

Martin. minister of agriculture, and grand master of the Masonic Grand Lodge of Ontario, has been the target of a lot of gt&od- natured "kidding” from government colleagues ever since the recent Lon don Masonic assembly. where he strongly championed the cause of "world peace." "If you want to end war, John, why didn’t you start your movement some 15 years ago?' Too bad Henry Ford didn’t hear of you that time, when he set sail whh his peace ship across the ocean.” "Any tjay. now I suppose, you’ll be darting out from Port Dover harbor with a peace ship of your own." Gleeful Greetings. These and a good many sallies oi the same type greet Mr. Manin every time he steps into a council meeting. But the minister oi agriculture has a habit of sticking to his guns, and for every “wise crack” fired at expense, he fired a couple back, time, it is understood, it had "enemy' on the verge of rout, trim med to a frazzle. And then, that beastly bumblebee had to flit into the picture, and the enemy bombardment, once practical ly silenced has now begun anew. The bee flew through the window of Mr. Martin's car on Wednesday night. a» Mr. Martin was coming to Toronto from his Port Dover home. It made half a dozen futile attempts to get out side again, and then settled resignedly on one of the minister’s legs. “Shoo, bee!” said Mr. Marlin, pa- 1 cificatorily—at least that’s what his enemy colleagues say he said, and how he said it—but the bothersome bumbler refused to shoo. Onc flick of a finger, it is understood, would have had the bee in retreat. One >mack of the hand and the bee would have been "out for good.” But neither 1 Mr. Martin’s fingers flicked nor his hand smacked. There he sat. the true pacifist. To flick, or to smack, would have Iseen sheer unadulterated war on a defense less creature. He let the bee sit on— and Health Service of the Canadian Medi Cal Association for hi. pain. hi. In hi. A frequept criticism of public health work is that the sawing of infant lives is not desirable, because it results in the preservation of the unfit.Public health work is not carried on with the idea of preserving the unfit. The best reply to the criticism is a con sideration of what has occurred. In England and Wales a great deal of public health work has been done, and accurate vital statistics have been kept for many years. From these vital statistics we find that during the past fifty year*, the infant deaths have been reduced by one-half. In 1875 there were 153 infant deaths amongst even- thousand horn; in the year 1926 the infant deaths amounted to only 70 per l.(MK) births. If such results mean the preservation of the unfit, of weaklings, it would be reasonable to expect an increase in the deaths of children from one to fire years. What actually results from the proper care of infants is that not only are many infant deaths prevented, bu: also a great deal of sickness in this age group. That the prevention of sickness amongst infants means healthier chil dren is proven by the fact that the death rate amongst children, from onc to five years, has decreased* as the infant death rale has decreased. In Eng land and Wales, their, vital statistics show an even greater decrease among the older children than among the in fants. The protection of infants is onc oi the surest guarantees of healthy chil dren and robust adults. ociation. 184 College Street. Toronto, will be answered by letter.

Who hath not lost a friend? There is no union here of hearts That finds not here an end." Thomas Moure, the Irish poet, had a similar thought when he wrote: "When 1 remember all The friends so linked together, I'va seen around me fall. Like leave* in wintry weather, I feel like onc who treads alone Some banquet hall deserted.” ! It is especially true that those who have passed the meridian of life find the silent and ceaseless toll among those oi their acquaintances in evi dence. Dr. Samuel Johnson, the fam ous English sage and man of letters, said to Boswell, his biographer, that he had established a rule of continually making new acquaintances—at young as possible—and • this he regarded as keeping his friendship fences in repair. Yet how many of us like to think that no real union of hearts can ever be severed, distance, lime and death withstanding? It Is well to hold such a thought too, since it tempers and lows the blows and stresses oi marching years, and revivifies courage and hope in the hours of depression and distress.

From one Petrt Hostettler, who settled in Penn sylvania. there is today a family of! over four thousand known descend-1 ants, and as a result of the annual fam ily reunion of the different branches and m the various states, has produced various popular troupes of singers, one of which is the Hostettler octette, and who are cousins of Rev. A. J. Schult*. Thirty-two members of the various families, accompanied the octette from New Hamburg, one being the only liv ing member of the well-known Hos tettler brothers,and who wa* introduced to the audience. The octette are unique in their singing, unaccompanied, using only a tuning fork. Mr*. Guy- Playfair, formerly Mis* Nethercott, of Nigeria. Africa, who wa* present in the audience, was called to the platform at the evening service. Mr*. Playfair is the wife of the field director of the Sudan Interior Mission of Africa, and who was introduced to the audience and the Hostettler family, and to Mr. Hostettler, uncle of the late Emma Hos tettler, the fir*t white woman to lay down her life among the Nupc tribe in Africa Mr*. Playfair wa* delighted to meet relative* of this courageous wom an and of whom she spoke feelingly of her life in Africa and of the high esteem in which she wa* held by the natives, how even yet they remember the beautiful life lived of the woman who came to die for them there. Others who assisted with the day's mu sical program were: Mr*. Erie Young, house organist of Hyatt avenue United church. London, also Mr*. Martin. *ok>- ist from the same church, who contrib uted duet* at each *crvice, and have been invited to a»*i*t on Sunday next Al*o valuable attitiancc was rendered by the Hcbcrmehl orchestra of Court land. In the evening Rev. A. J. Schult* concluded hi* serie* of addresses on "Through the Holy 1-and," hi* subject being "Jerusalem." The Christian vis itor's heart cannot fail to be stirred when first he passe* through the gate* of the Holy City and realize* the word* "My feet do stand within thy gates O Jerusalem." the speaker said. “What crowded streets with their babel of confusion, the shout* of donkey boy*, the loud cries of the camel drivers, and the call* of vendor in the street* who would sell their ware* to every passer by. together with the hurly-burly of the people in strange tongues—all thi* tend* to destroy some of the religious glamour. 1 am not going to preach to you on thi* hot night We have had wonderful appealing evangelistic mes sages today and I can add nothing to what ha* been said, but since we are not only to preach but to teach also. I want to create a new interest in Bible study and tonight we will take for our study the “History of Jerusalem," said the director in opening, and then continued to trace the history of the Holy City from its first record* in Genesis and concluding with that New Jerusalem yet to come clown from Heaven. Mr. Schultz, who ha* just returned from Palestine, vividly describes the present modern city and somewhat surprised people when he said: "It is literally true that one city is built upon another, and that near the Temple site. If you would find the remain* of the first city you must dig down through 125 feet of rubbish of centuries.

A Woman Wronged ------OR------ The Secret of a Crime BY CAROLINE HART CHAPTER XIV Trevor Cover* His Tracks It had been judged expedient to make some show of searching for the two strange men, who had been seen by Peter Smith upon the night of the storm. A very slight and _ desultory search it was, and it is needless to add that nothing came of it. If it had been Miss Amy Gordon now, who had thus disappeared, the hue and cry would have been so loud, and the hunt would have been so thorough, that the slyest of foxes would have had to set hl* wit* to work to get safely to earth, and to cover hi* tracks, and lie safe and close after getting thtere. But it was far differen when only a poor, friendless girl. Miss Gord on’s governess, was missing. The fox indeed did leave •some traces behind him. but the dog* were not keen enough, while the scent was warm, to find them. It was the second morning after Helen's disappearance. Amy had gone down to the beach again to gather fresh tidings from the waves, but Mrs. Gordon—oppressed by a sense of self-reproach, which she had not really deserved to feel, remained in her own room alone. To her a servant brought a card, bearing the name and address of "Aaron Graver, Solicitor. Broad way, New York,’ with the information that the gentleman had called business of ~ like to sec She went stantly. A looking old she entered brought me commenced. on Miss Clare’s," and would Mr*. Gordon immediately, to him in the parlor in- white-haired, benevolent- man rose to meet her as the room. "Have you news of Miss Clare?" she __________ _ eagerly, her anxiety be ing too keen to be repressed. "Uh, God grant you come to tell me she is safe!” The old gentleman looked grave and sad. ‘Madam," he said, politely, “your anxiety in this unfortunate creature's behalf docs honor to your heart. It will be a comfort to her brother. Cap tain Care, whose legal adviser I am, if anything can comfort him in *uch a trial, to know that his unhappy sister had in you a friend as well as an em ployer. No, madam, I have no news of Miss Clare. I_ apprehend. indeed, that there can be no question that she is dead, and better that"—he raised hi* eyes and hands sadly and resign edly—"better that than to live disgrac ed! I am here in the interests of my client, Captain Clare." he went on smoothly. “Mis* Care had notified me by letter, some few days ago, that certain family papers and a private letter to her brother were in her desk; and that, should anything happen to her—you will observe, my dear ma dam. that she anpears to have con templated suicide—Ishould apply to you for thi* desk, as well as her effect* in gerncral. I shall write >o Captain Clare at once, of course, and should like to have the desk before doing so." Now Mrs. Gordon was, ordinarily, as shrewd as she was proud; a woman of the world, whom it would have been no child's play to deceive and impose upon. Upon no other occasion, per haps, could such a demand—made without any credentials, or proof* of identity even—have succeeded with her, as it did on this. But she had been completely unnerved by the events of the past two days; she was off her guard, excited, nervous, not capable of exercising her usual calm good sense; moreover, she was but too thankful to meet some one who assumed some sort of legitimate inter est in the lost girl, some one whose show of authority, in the brother's name might lift the dreadful sense of re* ponsibility to any other »houldcrs than her own. She did not stop to wonder how this man came to be so well informed as to Helen’s "dis grace," of which the newspaper* had made no mention, or how it happened that—if Helen had written such a let ter as he described ‘a few days ago"— Captain Clare, who at that time had not sailed, had made no inquiries as to his sister’s affairs. All these con siderations occurred to her, indeed, when she had time to think the matter over quietly, an hour afterwards, but it was then too late. Probably the* Fox had calculated upon all this, when he made such ha*tc to set about covering his tracks so cunningly.Mrs. Gordon rang the bell and or dered the desk from Helen’* room. The thought of the anguish and de spair which had induced thi* young girl to deliberately contemplate sui cide, oppressed her heart. Hers was that painful, unavailing regret that comes so often to the wisest of us. "Oh, if the i>a*t could but conic back again, how differently would I act! Too late! Alas! Too late!” The desk—asmall. rosewood affair, a birthday gift from Herbert—was produced. Mr. Graver again raised sorrowful hands and eyes ceilingward. "Poor girl! Poor girl! Her brother* gift, madam, her poor brother'* gift! With your permission. I will place a seal upon it, here—for it will remain in my hands until Captain Clare sends instructions as to its disposal. You will be willing to testify that I scaled it in your presence, of course?" “Of course." Mrs. Gordon, impressed by the legality of thi* proceeding, acquiesced at once. "And the rest of the poor girl's effects?" she asked him. "They arc just as she left them, of course; but if you will wait—" No. Mr. Aron Graver preferred not to wait, it seemed. He would take the desk with him, it being small and light; the rest of Helen’s things Mrs. Gordon could have packed at her leisure, and notify him to the addres* on the card, when he would send for them. And so he bowed and talked himself away taking the desk—with its precious letter—-with him. Not until some time afterward—when she informed the magistrate of what she had done—did Mrs. Gordon realize that thi* man had presented no credentials and had seemed strangely familiar with the “I’ll »end a detective to the address on the card," the magistrate »aid. And he did »o, only to find that no snch person a* Aaron Graver had ever been heard of there. Then they began to realize that the Fox had been covering his tracks. ••That man ought to have been ar rested," said the magistrate. "Through him we might have casght the other He would have thought so, indeed, had he seen James Trevor meet Aaron Graver at the depot in New York. "Did you succeed?" he questioned eagerly. They went together into a near-by saloon, and there the seals, to which Mrs. Gordon was to testify, were broken, and after them the lock. James Trevor tossed the contents of the desk about, and found the letter to Herbert. "Il's all right," he said, with a sigh of relief. ’There’s your fifty." And he handed him five tcn-dollar toils. Then they parted, and Trevor took the desk home to examine it at his leisure. “If any further applications made to you for Miss Clare's property, com- munirate with me." said the magistrate to Mrs. Gordon—but no further appli cation was made. There was no need of any. The wily Fox had got away to earth and was lying there, safe and close, chuck ling in secure glee, at having covered his tracks effectually. Meantime young Amy Gordon came home, heavy-hearted and red-eyed, be cause neither in-coming nor out-going tide had brought her any further trace or news of Helen. "She is dead!” she sobbed. “We shall never sec my darling Helen again!" And she went away to her own room t> indulge her grief. Went away unchid den—for Mrs. Gordon was too sorrow ful herself to find fault with her daugh ter’s tears. And yet the sea had not been idle, and the tide had brought its burden in; its silent, uncomprehended testi mony to a crime. Peter Smith's two children, playing on the shore, had found what they took to be a strange bunch of black sea-weed; and disputing and quarrel ing as to its nature and their right* of possession, had broungt it home to to their mother, who could mak noth ing of it all. Peter Smith, senior, found it that night, lying on the floor, and wondered over it exceedingly. "It's like hair," he said. "Hair, with a wire through it. Twould almost serve for a beard. Maybe we’ll sec better what 'til when it’* dry. Hang it up, wife. Hang it up where the young uns wont see it and want it, and where if can dry. Me and Bab. Simmons can puzzle it’s natur’ out on Sunday, p'raps. It’s a curus object,” he added, thought fully, gazing at the dark, damp, matted mass of hair. “As curus an object as any I ever see come out o’ the deep sea.” It was not "curus" enough to make any deep impression on hi* simple mind, however; especially at a time when the Clifftown gossips were so excited over the fate of the missing girl. Bob Simmons, who had also heard the screams upon that fatal night, and Peter Smith talked over their expedi ences and opinions over a friendly pipe and a glass of beer, on Sunday as per agreement; and found the stories of suicide and murder so absorbing that neither of them thought of “curus objects” cast up by the dpep sea. With Mrs. Smith and the children it was also —"out of sight, out of mind;1’ so. the dark bunch of sea-wood that "looked like a beard."—the silent wit ness that the busy tide brought in.— the "curus object” that had excited Peter'* wonder, and had been hung up so carefully to dry—remained in it* dark and dusty corner *afe and dry enough, and was forgotten! Something else lay in a corner, too, afely hidden. A wedding-ring, that had rolled into a crevice of the rock at Black Rock Point. There it lay- shining a little when a ray of sunlight sometime* crept in to look at it, it lay,—another iilent witness; tiny link in a strong though chain, which fate was forging murderer. Another clew to the Fox's hiding- place another finger silently pointing to the discovery of the secret of a crime; the ring which— falling from pobr Helen's finger, had been to her a faithful and fatal omen indeed,— giving *ure warning of approaching evil, sorrow. and parting, and death. and — there another unseen for a of CHAPTER XV Early Days Some ten years before the period at which my story opened, the Hamiltons and the Clares had been fast friends; until the death of the elder Herbert Clare—in a storm at sea,—and some sudden and exceptionally fortunate business speculations on the part of George Hamilton, the successful mer chant.—had brought wealth to the one family and poverty to the other, and wrought—as is so often the case in this too mercenary world—estrangement and coldness between them. Mrs. Clare did not very long servivc the loss of a husband whom she had adored; after less than two years of widowhood she died, leaving Herbert and Helen orphaned indeed and almost penniless. The estrangement of which I have spoken was not yet so great—nor was the prosperous merchant so cold or hard of heart—that he could overlook the strait in to which these hapless ones, the children of his once dear friend, had fallen. Herbert was, at the lime of his mother's death, nineteen, and Mr. Hamilton took the youth into his offices, until a position could be found for him aboard ship—for the hoy was set upon following his dead father's hazardous calling. As for Helen—then a child of scarcely twelve—her grief at her mother's death found consolation only in the society of Florence Hamil ton. her companion, play-fellow, and senior by two years; and therefore— when the unfortunate affairs of the Clare family were finally settled, and it was found that less than a thousand dollars remained for the children's use —it was decided to let the girl attend the same school at which Florence Hamilton was being educated. But Helen was not yet quite twelve years old, and a thousand dollars would go but a little way toward supporting, (Continued on page 12) LANGTON Rev. Cha*.

How- far removed from the discord of war was the peace and glory of the setting sun! Here we read of lives coming to a violent end, and of a fero cious man-hunt which came to an end with sunset. God rebuked the wrath of man by the quietness of the end of day. Some day the sun of life will set ter each one of us. Will it set in storm, or calm? Will the fading light tall upon deeds of cruelty and hurt to others, or upon deeds of helplessness and love. The calm and beauty of sun set should be of the calm and beauty of the passing life. Tennyson was over eighty years of age when he wrote “Crossing the Bar." and in that match less little gem he pictured the end of life as it should be. and as it will be, if it is ended with God.

The first figures that were submitted to the town were not acceptable to our solicitors and engineers, and finally the Waterworks Co. made a proposal to sell the town their whole work* and property with the exception of the collecting system an Annandale farm for the sum of one hundred thousand dollars. The engin eers and solicitors employed by the town council advised us that they con sidered this a fair offer and on their advice the town council signed an agreement with the company to take over the works of the company as stated, and wc are submitting a by-law on Sept. 10th, 1928. in accordance with this agreement. To make the situation dearer with regard to Annandale farm, it is neces sary to understand that only a very small part of Annandale farm is being used as a collecting system by the Waterwork* Co. This section of the farm is situated north of the C. P. R. track* and a small area south of the tracks.

Helen was industrious and ambitious, a* well as talented, and did credit to her teacher's care. Between themselves the two girls were wont to utterly scout the idea of Helen's becoming a igovemew.

Why. it will be the easiest thing! you are «o pretty, dear. You will be a beautiful woman—!far t<x> handsome to be a governess!' I heard our sagac ious principal remark the other day— and you arc amiable and sweet tempered too, and you will be educated so that you can grace any station. Why shouldn't you marry some wise, rich man. who wants only beauty and good ness in a wife? A far happier and more reasonable fate this is tor you than the life of a governess, dear Helen " In all of which Helen would agree most heartily, and both girl* would thoroughly persuade themselves that thi* was actually the future in store. Little did they, in their youthful hope fulness and inexperience, guess at the doom that fate had pronounced against Helen Clare—a doom that was to fall Nell, and not until «he had led her hungry heart to the full on thc.M. did tlelen find time to express a certain wonder, which nevertheless had possessed her from the first.

WATTS Telephone 19S TILLSONBURG The girl's first sorrow, after her mother's death, came to her at thirteen, when Herlxrt sailed away to sea. The attachment between brother and sister wa* very strong, and h*r grief wa* great at losing him. But the «ym- l*athy of Florence softened even thi* pang, the more w that Florence shared Mime portion of her grief, and made it endurable; far different wa* it. two years later, when the second bitter trial came, for this involved separation from Florence herself. Mm Hamilton was now in her seven teenth year and her father resolved upon taking her to Europe and placing her to a Parisian school for two years. The girls were in despair. There was no possibility of Helen's accompanying her friend, and their parting was in evitable. It would be hard to say which of lhe girl* grieved over the com ing separation most, but it was by no means difficult to decide upon which of them its practical consequences fell most heavily. For Helen lost not. only a loving companion and dear friend, but a pro tector and a champion, whose influence and power she had never fully compre hended until both were removed from beyond her reach and could do her faithful service and kindness no longer. It had grown to b e customary, at Pallas Lodge, to bear very lightly upon the articled pupil.
