PART I.
Joe Wilson drove the car up t
the side door with a hit of a flourish.
Joe was prosperous, and the car was
still too new for him not to take some
pride in ,it and his own capable driv-
ing. Gathering up the day's pur-
chases with a satisfied air, he failed
to notice a slightly anxious look on
the face of his d'augbter Whoss•was
climbipg out after him. -
"There, pa, you take those and
I'll bring the rest," said Lutie, watch-
ing him nervously until he disappear-
ed; then, taking a flat package from
under the seat she piled the others
on it and hurried throughr the house
into the little bedroom.
"Come_ on,Vute; what are you do-
ing?" called her father. "Just taking
off my hat," and Lutie came into the
kitchen in time to see him throw
down on the table a bundle very much
like the one that had disappeared
from her own arms.
"Open that, ma, and see how you
Iiike.it.' There was just a suspicion
of defiance in his tone.
Mrs. Wilson, 'a colorless little wo-
man, untied the knot with'trembling
Angers, though why they trembled
eaven only knows, for she had been
untying similar parcels every year
since she had married Joe, and the
%eager expectancy roused by the crisp,
new paper wrapping had always been
rewarded exactly as it was now.
"Why, I think that's real pretty,
ra," she said; but she glanced un-
easily at the cr1s.

looked at Lutie with an it's -your -

'Well, got anything t6 say?" and
Joe turned to the older girl.

A little outburst the week before
had partially prepared Joe, but he
was hurt and angry, nevertheless. Not
until recenCy had anything everAis-
turbed his self-satisfaction.- That it
0 should come from the daughter most
like himself was an additional griev-
ance to him.,
"I'm sick and tired of having you
find fault 'with what I provide. May-
be you'd better find someone else to
pay for your clothes -or go to work
and earn them yourself." Joe slam-
med the door behind him as a fitting
period. - •
It was an unusual squabble ttor
• the Wilson family, where one will
had held unquestioned sway.
- "Now, Lutie, you oughtn't to have
made yours pa mad; he's always tried
to please us -and this is a reel
pretty pattern."
"Never mind, ma, he'll get over it.
Come into the bedroom a minute, both
of you, if you can keep a secret for
a few days -I want to show you
somgthing."
One of Joe's maxims was "least
-isaM soonest mended," and the inci-
. dent was apparently closed, when he
came in to supper.
"I saw Lucy in town to -day, and
she said she d like to come out somo
morning next week and stay.all day.
I can run in and get her Friday, just
as well as not,"
"That'll be nice, pa. Kilt a couple
of broilers Thursday night, and I'll
freeze some ice-cream; Lucy is se
fond of it," and the little sigh of re-
lief dismissed for the moment any;
foreboA;rig that might be, hanging
ever Mrs. Wilson.
"Fix some of that new-fangled
Marth-mallow cake, Mollie; I'll bet

out, "If you want anything from '

he wanted to do the spending, and it
had never occurred to him that wo-
men folk should have anything to say
in the matter of their own clothing.
Mrs. Wilson was showing the new

next day when the subject came up.
"Mary, this is Ana! .1 was Just

"I know it, Lucy," again that un-
easy sigh. "And the girls know it

cause he won't let them have any say
about their clothes. I never minded
for myself, but girls will get no-
tions."
Lucy paused; she admired her bro-
ther, but she was always readysto be
fair. "I don't blame them a hit for
that, Mary, -but it's not Joe's fault.
It's just the way he was brought up;
he's exactly like his father. I never
chose a dress for myself until after
was married. What's that, Molly?

Joe at the kitchen door.
"It'll be ready pretty' soon, but
you've got time to clean up a little,
if you like. Why don't you go in and
put on a clean shirt? I laid one out
on the bed for you."
Joe gasped. To put on a clean
Shirt in the middle of the day was an
unknown article in his creed; but he
had no intention of arguing to -day, so
shut his lips as he walked, with un-
necessary eraphaeis into tlw.bedroost.
Sure enough, on the bed was not one
shirt, but six, of new blue calico. And
there was something else folded neat-
ly, Joe held it up gingerly. The.gar-
ntent unfolded itself into a pair of
blue calico trouser.

14,000 PHOTOS OF -GRAVES
British Authorities Dealing Exhaus-
tively With All Enquiries.
The secretary of the British War
Office announces that owing to the
very large number of enquiries which
have been received by the Director
of Graves Registration and Enquiries
since the signing of the armistice,
and which are still cording in at the
rate of 1,500 to 2,000 a day, it has
been impossible to send out replies
except after some considerable delay
amounting ts as much as a. month
or even litlf weeks. • Every case is
most careftilly .investigated, and full
'replies will be sent to all; but it is
not possibe to deal with the applica-
tieing as rapidly as the public have
a night to expect.
Every request for a photograph is
carefully noted, and directly the con-
ditions permit it is taken, and copies
are forwarded to.the applicants; but
in this matter again there have been
unavoidable causes of delay, and
during the winter months, too, the
working day is short and the number
of days suitable for photogra,phy per
week ieoften reduced by bad wea-
ther. Since Novembei. 1, 1918, 14,000
photographs have been received
from the variaus theatres of war and
issued to relations.
The staff Of the Imperial War
Graves Commission is also at pres-
ent seriously depleted by illness, and
it is reeretted that in consequence
theee must inevitably be considerable
delay in replying to the numerous
enquiries addressed to that office.

MUSK OXEN MEAT
FLESH OF CARIBOU PRAISED

Withjalmur Stefansson, recently

Barren were given a little scientific
care and, supervision they would af-
ford a new and abundant meat sup-

ing cattle industry of the g-Lreat wheat
a pity to allow so much good food to
go to waste. If the slaughter of the
caribou is begun by market hunters,
the Government should so safeguard
the animals as to prevent their ex-
termination. It_ls to- be hoped the
caribou will not meet the fate of
the buffalo in the United States. If
the herds are properly conserved they
should add materially' to Canada's
meat supply for many years.
"The development of the food
sources of the vast mossy tu dras
of northern Canada will demonstrate
anew that the northern limit of pro-
ductivity has not yet been reached,
and that a great fertile area of Can-
ada, more extensive than her famous
wheat leads, reinains as yet virtually
