Mr. Baxter wa* last year a member of the committee on education of the county council and also a member of a special committe on county con­stable*. so that he is thoroughly fitted by experience, both in the township council of Dereham and in county council work, to be the warden of the county for 1928. A meeting in the interests of pro­ hibition was held in the Baptist church on Thursday evening last. The night wa* stormy, which no doubt militated somewhat against the attendance, yet there was a fair attendance. G. F. W.

Spence, president of the Prohibition Bureau. Toronto, and John Buchanan. Dominion Councillor of tbe Royal Templars of Temperance, who gave strong addresses dealing with the liquor question under the government control system, Mr. Spence claiming that Ontario and the eight provinces under control were simply tool* in the hand* of vast consolidated liquor inter­ests. He also claimed that the former bar-room and saloon—selling agencies of this liquor maahine. under it* then less “massed” organization, became so discredited before the public that they needed a more respectable retail agency. Mr. Spence . egard* the Q.T.A. a* havnig been really a great success. How great a success was proved by the determination of the liquor machine to put it out of business.

The first period started off fast with London keeping the puck well down into the Tillsonburg territory.

Sadler, London defence man, handed out some stiff body checks, which broke up the visitor's offensive. The first'penalty of the game came, when Sadler wa* sent to the box.

Cowell and Anderson played well for the Till»on- burg squad and the end of the period found both teams desperately trying for a score. Haldane scored within two minutes of the second period, the first of hi* two goals Bonk and Pook scored a few minute* later. The latter score was on Sadler's rebound.

MEDITATION Philippian* 4: 3: "And with >• fellow I' other my fellow labourers whose names are in the book of life.” In the time of war it was considered to be a great honour to be mentioned in the dis­ patches sent from the front by the general in command. Thus Paul honored many of his co-workers- by giving their names a place in his letters. For them it became a more permanent memorial than marble or bras*. Their names will be known on earth a* tong as Chrisianity endure*. There were a host of others equally a* faithful whose names were never so perpetuated, but jrho were referr­ ed to in the words of our little text. Nevertheless, such unknown heroes were not forgotten, for their names were written . in Heaven's hall of fame. Thi* train of thought was sug­ gested by something we read the other day. and which should be known I to every British subject. On a wall in the suburbs of Brussels there are two bras* plates. One of them commemo­ rate* the death of Edith Cavell, who was slain nearby. The other small plate modestly commemorate* the death of two or three German soldiers who were shot because they refused to obey the order to shoot Edith Cavell. If such a fact is historical, it is scar­ cely worthy of our British traditions that we were not told about these men. and that some more adequate mem­orial ha* not been erected to their memory. Their name* deserve a place in Westminster Abbey. Surely they are typical of the world’s un­ known heroes whose names arc in the Imok of life. Happy shall we if we can gain a like memorial HYMN “The Son of God goes forth to u A kingly crown to gain; Hi* blood-red banner stream* afar: Who follows in hi* train? Who best can drink Hi* cup of woe. Triumphant over pain. Who patient bear* Hi* cro«t below. He follow* in Hi* train." There ii no such- thing a* failure, If one has a will to work. Full success is sure to nail you If you only show your worth. Nothing can hold back a “digger" Full of courage for the fight; We will always be the "btggCY" . If we keep on plugging right Determination! Hold high the motto Through disaster or defeat, Holding steadfast as we ought to Till success at last we reap.

APPROPRIATE MUSIC BRING THE BOYS AND GIRLS Rosanna Baptist Church The members of the Rosanna Baptist church-met for their annual dinner and business meeting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Almost, on Tuesday January 17th. After dinner, adjournment was made to the Krlor where the pastor. Rev H. S- nnett B. A, called the meeting to order and opened the same with de­ votional exercises. Encouraging reports from all departments were read and adopted. Election of Officers resulted as follows: Deacons: Chas. Almost, John Al­ most and E. E.. Hicks; Clerk. Mrs. Joseph Kent; Treasurer. Mrs. Chas. Amost; trustees. Chas. Almost. John Almost and E. E. Hicks. The following resolution was un­ animously adopted:— Whereas, this Rosanna Baptist church is now convinced that the en­ dorsement by the Baptist Convention of Ontario Quebec of the leaching of Profesor L. H. Marshall of McMaster University, involves an endorsement of doctrines which are out of harmony with the doctrinal standards of this church. Therefore be it resolved that this church declares itself to be out of harmony with the aims and objects of the said Baptist Conven­ tion of Ontario and Quebec, and therefore unable longer to contribute to its funds. And further this church declares itself to be in agreement with the doctrines and aims of the Assosia- tion of independent, self-governing, regular Baptist churches known as “The Union of Regular Baptist churches of Ontario and Quebec, and hereby applies for membership therein. Delhi, Jan. 20.—The inquest into the fire which caused the death of E. W. Jackson and his two infant children in their home at Delhi on the morning of January 12. and from which Mr*. Jack- son atone escaped, wa* conducted last etening under Coroner D. E W. Zum- stein. with D. E. Kelly representing the crown and Deputy Fire Marshal J. W. Pointon present also. No blame wa* attached in the nominal verdict. Mr. Pointon concluded that an ex­ plosion must have occurred in the apartment*; that the children must have suffocated without awakening, for they were on their separate couches. an<$ that, therefore, no fire brigade, however efficient, could have saved the live*, as there was no time whatever for action after the cry was raised. Mr*. Jackson did not know how, why or when her husband left their bed. She wa, awakened by hi* cry of horror and escaped through the flame*. He had gone out by another door. Neither could re-enter and both were burned severely and left naked. The fire marshal gave some advice as to the advisability of increasing the fire protection of the village. The jurymen pooled their fee* and presented lhe total to the widow and Y mother, who had lost her husband and .children .o tragically.

Miss Emily Ball was Norwich, Jan. 21. — Two-year-old Ralph Almas, sop of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Almas of Kelvin, was drowned Thursday night, when the horse and buggy in which he was riding with his parent* and an older .brother fell into three feet of water at the bottom of a culvert, a mile distant from their home. Friday the child would have celebrated his third birthday. All four members of the family were thrown into the water, and despite the frantic search made by the parents, their efforts to locate the baby proved futile. The tragic drowning occurred one mile east of Kelvin, near the home of Ansley Crabbe, from whose farm the parents borrowed a lantern with which to hunt for the child. The small liody was taken from the water a few min­ utes after the arrival of rescuers. No inquest will be held, it was learn­ ed. The remains were brought to an undertaking parlor here. The family »a* returning from home of K. McNelles. where the children had spent the day. while and Mrs. Almas were visiting the tcr’s father, who is a patient at Brant­ ford hospital. Mr. McNelles had ac­ companied the parents on their trip to Brantford. Returning to the McNelles farm the family started for their home about 10 p.m. A heavy rain was falling at the time, and with • strong wind blowing the lantern on the buggy was extiguished. Driving on through the darkness, the horse suddenly started and plunged to the bottom of the well-filled culvert. The parents were able to save them­ selves and rescueAhc other child. Efforts to resuscitate the small victim, after the two Mr. lat- appointed librarian and Harry Sander* rfhe l.ody had been found, proved futile, and A. S. Fergusson were appointed ■Auditors. T1 e board of trustees elect­ ed was Harry Sanders. W. S. West and Montalieu Nesbitt with the president, vice-president and secretary-treasurer. A number of professional matters were discussed as well as the question of closing law offices on Saturday af­ ternoons instead of Wednesday after­ noons in the summer. It was felt by some that it would be more convenient to have the half holiday at the week­ end rather than in the middle of week, but no action was taken at prelent time.

From what we have been able to learn this artist worked along new­ line* so far as Norfolk is concerned. Driving up to the fanner's place he en­ gaged to buy six hogs, in payment for which he gave a cheque drawn on a Hamilton bank, which wa* subsequently found to be worthless. To make hi* story still more plaus­ible. the stranger requested the owner of the hog* to assist him in killing and dressing three of the animal*, which he said he wanted for immediate pur­ pose*. The farmer was quite willing to oblige to this extent and the hog* were soon dispatched and dressed and loaded into the purchaser’s automobile, the number of whiclj. we believe, is now in the hands of the police. This task accomplished the glib stranger drove away with his booty on the un­ derstanding that he would return in a few day* (or the balance. Since that time nothing ha* been heard or *ecn of the man. and a* stated above, he had no fund* In the bank on which the cheque was drawn. While the authorities have the li­ cense number of the car in which the man took the dressed hog* away, it is not likely thi* will afford a very valu­able clue, as the supposition is that the machine wa* stolen, and has probably since been abandoned. -k—..

CHAPTER XXXIX Fairly Run to Earth It was a dreary winter’s day. the air full of driving snowflakes, and a deadly chill in the atmosphere, when Mary Angelis—for it is useless longer to call her by the name which she had assumed out of vindictive hatred to the man whom it belonged—came slowly into the boudoir where mostly sat in these days. Oil and water will not assimilate, and in spite oh every effort on the part of Mrs. Paget and her daughter, they had found it impossible to foster anything like affectionate intamey with the wo­ man whom they believe to be Royal's widow. Her ways were not thir ways; her nature was widely dissimilar from theirs, and all attempts to receive her into their hearts had terminated in a sort of 'polite formality that was as far removed from cordiality as pos­ sible. Mary felt it keenly. She knew ' that this invisible wail had risen . between herself and Royal’s mother and sister, and while she resented it ' Kshe knew that it could hardly erwise. The room was freighted with the delicate softness of steam heat, a great Limoges vase on the tabic was filled with white and salmon- color­ ed roses. Little Roy was playing on the floor with a miniature train of . cars and a wooden horse which only boasted three legs, while Vernctte sat sewing at a little distance. Mrs. Paget in a black satin gown, which trailed noislcisly on the floor and her magnificent hair coiled at the back of her head and fastened with X jet dagger stopped a second on the threshold to look at the pretty raise cn scene ere she came forward to kiss the little boy, and then walked to the window to look out upon the blinding mist of snowflakes on the other side of the giaj* "What a storm!" »hc said to her­ self. "There will be no going out to­ day I" As she stood there a servant enter­ ed with a little square paste-board on at tray. “A fj^itor!" said Mrs. Paget. “On such a day as this! Who can it be?" She glanced at the card. It bore Ethelbcrt Carrick's name. “Not at home." she said, sharply. “You know, James 1 told you—" She stopped short, remembering that James was a new servant who had only been in the employ of the Paget family for that, of course, he would have recollection of last autumn's < ious visitor and contented with repeating: “Tell him that I am not at James withdrew but returned Use th.

I in a “1 beg pardon, ma'am but he says he must see you. That he is a friend of Miss Mary Angelis." Mrs. Paget colored a quick, scarlet that dyed every inch face, from the fold of white around her neck to the roots shining, golden hair. “Where is he?" said she. “In the blue reception-room, ma’am." "Show him up here. Vernctte"— to the maid—" you may take Master Roy up to the nursery foe present?' ’ Roy was withdrawn, violently, while the train tightly clasped to his heart . the appearance of a hopless wreck, and the horse lay abandoned on the floor. But for once Mary was deaf to his small soprano appeals. She stood with one hand clasped over her heart, looking intently toward the door, through which Mr. Ethelbcrt Carrick was sauntering. "How do you do. Miss Angelis?” said he. “But threre is no necessity for asking the question. You are like one of those roses!" nodding at the blossoms on the great Limogoes vase. “Close that-door I" she said, in a low voice, her eyes glittering with subdued anger. “Oh. that door? Beg pardon. I am sure," said Carrick. obeying her gesture. “I didn't know that in so perfectly heated a house as this a door open more or less signified." “What name wa* that by which you called?" she demanded, towering up before him like some avenging god­ dess, with deadly pale face and eye* of flame. “Your arc perhaps unaware that you arc addresssing Mrs. Royal Paget!" "I am addressing Mary Angelis," said Carrick, defiantly. “Mr*. Royal Paget lie* buried in St. Gunhilda’s Pcnchard Street. lx»ndon. and you have no more right to bear her name than yonder beggar girl on the corner. Gently, my queen of tragedy—gently. ’ as Mary advanced a sudden step toward him. "Remember that you arc not on the stage now. You arc a sensible woman. You must know that, since I am in possession of your secret, it would be madness to quarrel with me. The only way is to capitulate." "What tissue of improbable false­ hoods have you got into your head now?" demanded Mr*. Paget, huskily. "Do you wish me to ring and get you thrown out of the house?" “You won’t ring," said Carrick, seat­ ing himself comfortably on a blue plush divan, and motioning Mrs. Paget to a seat near by. "and I shall not be turned out of the house. That there is a tissue of falsehoods I don’t deny, but you are the best judge of what they are, and who ha* woven them. Really. Mary Angelis, this little tableaux vivants ha* done honor to your in­ vention and skill. You deceived even me. But you will deceive me no more."And, begining at the beginning, he told her what he had discovered- how he had followed up the slender clew of evidence, of the copies of legal document* of which he had possessed himself. She listened, very pale, but self-possessed, to every word. “But who is this woman who saw Elsie at Llanellan," said she—" this informer who ha* heped you _read the riddle from beginnng to end?" "I decline to reveal the secret of any other woman," said Mr. Carrick, with an unpleasant recollection of certain lovc-*ccncs which had passed between himself and this fair Louisa before he departed for America. “You expect inc to reveal all mine to you!""No. I don't," calmly answered Ethelbcrt. "I expect you to reveal nothing to me. Your secrets are mine already."-h leaned back on the blue plush divan, looking at her with a sort of insolent triumph that made the blood boil in her veins, while at the same lime a creeping sensation of fear seemed to paralyze every nerve.

"Well?” he said, after a few seconds of silence, during which, to Mary’s overstrained ears, the ticking of the clock sounded louder than the tolling of any bell. "Well?" she constrained hersclf to answer, haughtily. "What is to he the upshot of all this? Am L to call in the ladies here —Mr. Paget's mother and sister—and tell them how completely! they have been deluded by the artifices of a young English actress who is occupy­ ing a name and a position to which she has absolutely no right?" he ask­ ed- “Would you ruin me?" cried out Mary, with a quick gasp. “Would you part me from the boy? But you cannot do that. I will die first I"“It isn’t what I shall do," serenely observed Mr. Carrick. "It is what the strong hand of the law will do. Miss Shc put her hand angily up. "Do not call me by that name!" said she- “You have no right to any other name," he retorted. “I see." she said, biting her lip. “You desire to be bought off. Well. 1 supose that is the easiest way of dealing with the matter. What is your price?" “You!" he answered, calmly insolent “Excuse me. if I fail to comprehend you!" said she. haughtily.

As Royal Paget’s widow and the legal guardian of his child you will have the handling of all the money you want. As your husband, some of the golden ’ torrents will be directed in my hands, and nobody will be the wiser." She rose and walked once or twice up and down the room, wringing her hands. "What shall I do?” she murmured to herself. “What can 1 do?" He sat there, watching her with saturnine delight, but spoke never a word. He knew that he was safe— that foe her. detected in her schemes, trapped in her own nets, there was absolutely no escape. He even smiled when she cast a sidelong glance at him —such a glance as Jael. the wife of Heber the Kenite, might have cast at King Siscra before she drove the nail into his temple in the tent. “She does not love me." he thought. "Well, I care little for that. 1 have learned for her all my life, and I will have her now, love or no love. There is no wild beast living that cannot be amed in one way or another; and with Mary Angelis for my wife, and all the Paget fortune at my command, my power will be absolutely boundless."

Tupper of North Bayham, spent Thurs­ day at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Til­ ton. in attendance at New Road ladies’ aid. Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Kingdon of St. Marys spent Wednesday with Mr. and Mrs. Tilton. The Women-'* Institute will meet at the home of Miss Imric on Wednesday afternoon, Feb. 1. Roll call; “Say, sing or pay." Mrs. John Kent of Rosanna will have the topic: “Our nerves and how to manage them." There will be a hemming contest, and also a guessing contest of baby photos of some one in the family of any member. The ladies' aid had dinner on Thurs­ day oi la.t week at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Dodd Tilton, with a good at­ tendance. During the afternoon. Mrs. Makins conducted the devotional and business meeting of the ladies' aid. and amony other interesting details an old bill,oi New Road church dedication in 1907 was brought by Mrs. Lundy and read by the secretary. It was noticed wth much interest that many who had borne the toil and struggle of building the new church are not now living here to enjoy the beauty and comforts of the New Road country church. Many have passed to their reward and others have moved away. Following the business meeting of the aid. the W.M.S. held their regular month'- meeting, conducted by their president. Mrs. Warren Roek. Misses Doris Makins and Hazel Kent of Rosanna contrib­ uted two delightful piano ducts, which were much appreciated. The watch tower was on China, and Mrs. Warren Rock introduced the subject, with map and a general survey. Miss Doris Makins and Mrs. Charles Stover read interesting letter* from missionaries in China. Mrs. Tilton passed around a beautiful doilcy made by the Chinese, and sent her in remembrance of her girlhood friend. Miss Jean Dalmage. who died in September last while a missionary in China. The third chap­ ter of the study book. “Missions and ludustxy," was taken by Mrs. (Rev.) A. H. Johnston, and was very interest­ ing. The next meeting will be-the con­ gregational meeting, which will be held on the second Thursday of February, at the church, when the ladies' aid will serve dinner, and the W.M3. will have their program in the afternoon, follow­ ing the reports from the various church organizations.
