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. Mollie, the . yourirger da h -; • s. • looked at Lutie with an it's -your - move -now expression. 'Well, got anything t6 say?" and Joe turned to the older girl. "I 'aid about a1 I had to say last week.

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 yourauntLucyll like that." Having. had his OW11 way Joe was perfectly Willing to be agreeable. 1 . For the next week the sewing ma-. chine hummed, and stray snips cif' blue calico convinced Joe that the•lit-! tle uprising was,quelled. He accepted, shorter rations good 'naturedly, and: tactfully made no -illusion to the pro-. gress of the work. ThurSday might he threw two headless yotine, chick- ens near the hack 'stoop, and called out, "If you want anything from ' to•wn you'd better get your -list ready to -night; I'm going to start early." "Your pa is a good- provider, Lutie." Mrs. Wilson seemed to feel, the nee'd for emphasizing the point. "Oh. I know dad has his good points, ma, ,tut he needs a little Pdueati ng.

And the dishes rattled .briskly in her efficient hands; - All over the cotnfortahle farmhouse were evidences of toe Wilson's thotlghtl'Uipr insWed, before be would bug the Mr, waft a fine bathrootm-joy of the family and envy of the neighbors. jaa yam peak alike^ suAls bia ialonav. but 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 bathiodtn to her sister-in-law the next day when the subject came up. "Mary, this is Ana! .1 was Just thinking a Iiittle'esbile ago that you had the nicest place in the county. Joe certainty -is a gfibd Vrovider." "I know it, Lucy," again that un- easy sigh. "And the girls know it tpo, but they do get out of sorts be- 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? You don't mean dinner's almo 'ready -my, how this morning !flown! Joe," she beckoned from window, "don't you hear those chi ens caLing. 1 "Is it dinnee time, Lutie?" asked 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. (To be continued) • 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. 4910 About Princess Pat Pfincess Patricia, Who fict popularity' Is at its height just now, recalls an anuisfng tale in whie'n, as a child, she fretted under the discipline of Queen Victoria. he was staying with the Queen at Osborne, and sat °tie day with- bet-iskgs crossed. -Patsy." - said the Queen."' little girls shealcl. not sit with their legs ctossed:.'

Declare Northern Barrens Afford Ample Food Supply. • Withjalmur Stefansson, recently returned frcrm his Arctic exploration tour, said while at Edmonton receitais ly that if the musk oxen of the Grea% Barren were given a little scientific care and, supervision they would af- ford a new and abundant meat sup- ply second only to the rapidly grow- 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 unknown and unexploited."

W. BOYD & SON, CLEANING UP THE WAR ZONE Soil to be Subjected to Process to Recover Metals Which Fill It. Europe's battle fields, says an edi. torial writer in the Mining and Scieit- tific Pres, have been showered with - steel and iron and brass from shells, exploded and unexploded, and from hand grenades. He goes on: "Much of this metal will be re- moved as a necessary preliminary to 'the resumption of 'peaceful pursuits..
