You’re sitting here fishing for trout and putting the trickiest kind of bait on your line. Honey, my girl, I’ll stand by you in whatever you want to do except this one thing. You caji’t spend your money to pletise my vanity. Some day, and before I’m an old man too, I’m going to have every­ thing and do everything you put on your list, but it’s got to come out of my sweat and my strength, not paid for with money some old codger left to my wife.” Anne laughed too, but protestingly. "But what’s the use of working your- she said presently. "I’ve not packed a thing yet.” He turned the car. "We’ll take the river road.” They made a short de­ tour, and then the river, silver-pale under the early starlight, shone out to them through the trees along its bank. Anne went back to «ctheir f-ormer contention. “You and Aunt Mary! The very people who ought to be glad­ dest for me, the only ones I want to’ share with, and you’re both bound,and determined that you won’t. It isn’t right; it isn’t kind! What makes you act so?” Louis Ilaynes answered slowly. "I j don’t mean to be unkind, but it’s im-| ■possible. I can't use your money, Anne, or let you use it for me. I just! can’t.” j “Oh,” she cried, "I wouldn’t care ifi you’d any good reason. But it’s only! 1 pride.” Louis became exasperated in his turn. “Call it pride or anything you like. It’s so.” A jangling silence fell on them now. They were both full of things they wanted to say, argument, justifica­ tion, but neither would venture. In­ stinct warned them that they were on dangerous ground, near an open quar­ rel, and they sheered away from it. Still, the mental distance between them widened. They were really quarreling without words. When they reached Mrs. Chaner’s, Louis said- "I won’t come in. Good . Write to me when you can.” » Wo wnc nnt!

Don’t you see yourself that’s foolish?” “It may be foolish, but it’s me. Longer I live the more I see that what you get without an effort does you no good. And besides, Anne, you don’t know what, those people up in the city’ll want you to do. A lot of money takes a lot of looking after. And you might feel different, you know, when you get it, about some things/’ "What d’you mean?” "About me, for instance. If you can live in the city with a big house and plenty of servants and have a nice car and go round to theatres and con­certs and buy beautiful dresses and, J any time you feel like a change, travel I off abroad or anywhere, maybe you’d I feel as if it was a big comedown to| marry a farmer like me, with nothing nigh . to offer yon except- used to revealing his emotions, so he boggled at the word, but at last he got it out, “—except loving you. I. can’t give you much but that, Anne.” "But what more could I want? What do you think I’m made of, Louis? If you’d been left some money, would I say I .expected you’d throw me over—well, I certainly would not. Don’t you trust me at all?” "I trust you—but I’m afraid. And I tell you this, Anne”—he put his hand over hers—"whatever you choose to do is right with me. If you’d want to leave me I wouldn’t raise my finger to stop you. And I’d always be right here, loving you and thinking about you. There’d be no other girl for me.” She leaned to him fondly. "If you don’t stop talking such old glooms I don’t know what I’ll do to you. And if ever I leave you, Louis—mark me, I s-ay if I ever do—you needn’t wait round for me one minute. You can just go off and marry some other girl, provided it isn’t that red-headed Eve­ line Massey. "Even if I didn’t want you myself, I’d hate to have her get you, she’s so crazy about you and been so hateful to me ever since we’ve been going to­ gether.” Louis laughed again, "You jealous! That’s funny, Anne.” But they both felt the strangeness of the moment, the unknown future, so near, so full of possibilities they could not guess nor anticipate, possi­ bilities far out of their ken, beyond i™:‘“rioZ7-ou, wed.

Her best brown crepe, her new brown coat and hat were not expensive, but she knew their style was good. Only— there was a woman who sat in the Pullman chair opposite who made hei’ feel uneasy, she was so exquisite, so finished. Anne looked at her simple but somehow bewildering dress, her hat—plain little black thing, but its lines enticed the eye—her slim gray silken ankles and buckled pumps, and when she slipped off her gloves she showed slender manicured hands, and on the left one a square-cut emerald ring that reduced Anne to a pulp of admiring envy. It bewitched her. She had never seen anything so purely, perfectly beautiful. She felt she could have looked at it forever. “I wonder how much it cost,” she thought. "I Wonder if I’m going to have enough money'to buy one like it. I’d do with­ out almost everything else if I could have a ring like that.” She was still absorbed in the ring when the train slid into a suburban station and Mr. Fink boarded it.

The sport in the Canadian West date* from about 1876 when a few games were played on the- Red River in Win­ nipeg. The curling season in Canada starts about December 15 and continues un­ til about the middle of March. For the greater part of four months the "roarin' game” holds sway in nearly every Canadian city and town and its devotees are numbered in thousands, In the cities' where the game is played in covered rinks, there is little or no interruption from thaws. However in the towns and villages where pond or lake supplies the surface, the weather is always an important factor in the success of the season’s play. Bonspiels> are held in nearly every section of the Dominion, and many inter-club competitions are carried along. In the Maritimes the important event of -the season is the series of interprovincial contests for the Mc- Clelan sup, donated by the late Hon. A. R. McClelan, former Lieutenant- Governor of New Brunswick. The an­ nual competition for the Governor- General’s trophy is one of tho blue rib­ bon events of curling in Eastern Can- the finals taking place on the at Rideau Hall, Ottawa, the of- residence of tme Governor-Gen- of Canada, Each provincial Curling, which is akin to the sum­ mer game of golf in its appeal anti its physical demands, is rapidly becoming one of Canada’s most popular winter pastimes. The ideal conditions which prevail during the winter season have! gained for the Dominion the name of. "The Curlers’ Paradise.” Nearly every: province has its branch of the Royal Caledonian Curling Club of Scotland, , the parent body of the sport, and every sphere of social life in Canada is re-! presented' among its devotees. Apart from, the intense interest aroused by the game itself, curling Wields other- and mbre potent in­ fluences. Wherever curlers meet there is formed a brotherhood of goodfellow- ship-in which men from all walks of life fraternize and in which the honors go to him who makes the best shot. The best curler is the man who "plays the game” and the qualities- so devel­ oped are reflected in the success of the individual in. the social and business life of the country. Just when the first curling match took place- in Canada is uncertain. It is claimed that the Highlanders who served under General Wolfe played the game at Quebec and there is little doubt that curling was played in other parts of Canada (Lower and Upper) 1 before the formation of the Royal Montreal Club in 1807. Although Que­ bec city claimsHhe distinction of the first match, its- senior club wos- not formed till 1821, while the first club in Halifax is just over a century old, hav­ ing been founded in 1825. About the middle of the -l-ast century the clubs in what is now known as Quebec and the eastern part of Ontario were or­ ganized into a branch of the Royal Caledonian. Club, and this branch has grown until it now comprises 64 clubs | (of which 18 are ladies’ clubs) and a total membership of about 4,000. With the founding of dubs in other parts of the Dominion, provincial branches of the Royal Caledonian Curling Club were organized. In round numbers there are 20 clubs in Nova Scotia, 15 in New Brunswick, and 115 hi central and western Ontario. Of those in the Ontario branch at least six are ladies’ clubs. The popularity gained by curling in a da, rinks flci al oral branch In the West holds its regular inter-club contests but to curlers in the Prairie Provinces the Winnipeg meet, which lias become the greatest bonspiel in the world, is the big event of the season. Matches are held at in­ tervals between Canadian and Scot­ tish rinks, alternately in Scotland and in Canada, for the Strathcona Cup, and the skill Canadian curlers have attain­ ed is attested by the success they have achieved in a series of years in these contests. As each succeeding year rolls by there is a -greater appreciation of Can­ ada’s winter season. The appeal of the out-of-doors is becoming as strong dur­ ing the months of ice and snow as in the summer time, and no small part in. this beneficial movement is due to the popularity of curling.

Some- authors work pIiys'Dcadly, writing and rewriting, polishing and repol'ishing, casting and recasting; others- sit down, doing noth­ ing for months at a time save call themselves lazy devils, slack-backed good - for - nothings, self - indulgent blighters and similar pretty names, until the stuff that lias -been ferment­ ing below the surface all the time bursts forth and seems to write itself. It doe-sn’t matter which mode is.used, they are equally hard; nothing is born without pain. And there is more pain in this business- of writing than meets the eye, especially the eye of the poor folk who think authorship is an affair of an adventure, pen, ink and a cor­ respondence course. For while a story may take a month, a year, ten years to write, and blidck all other activity while it is being written, the author’s stomach demands its tribute at the usual times. ~ j" f Make Better' Bread Ask your grocer for ROYAL YEAST .

Anne’s indignation against him re­ vived during the lonely train ride of the next day. He was just too pig­ headed for v/ords, she decided. He wasn’t reasonable about any tiling. As if it was her fault all this money had been left her. Why, he acted as if it was something to be ashamed of. And she’d been anticipating it so, and was going to enjoy it so! Her meditation swelled her grievance. The journey was long, the trip was tiresome, necessitating two changes that she had to scurry to make, and the close connection got on her nerves. But on the last part of her journey she relaxed a trifle, pushed Louis and i his obstinacy into the back of her I mind, looked about at her fellow travellers and thought of the new scenes awaiting her. She was to go to the late Andrew Thorne’s own house, where he had lived alone eave for a distant connection of his wife’s, J a Mrs. Torrance, who acted as house- i keeper and sometimes as nurse.

"There’s just one thing I want to ask —-would you rather go to a hotel to­ night and then to-morrow to your house? Mrs. Torrance— I believe I told you—Mrs. Torrance is rather a difficult person.” “What can she do; I won’t be there with her alone, will I?” "Permit/me to say that’s a very sensible question, Miss Thorne, the seiwants are there, of course.

Well, that would be all right, she thought. Surely she could stand the woman for one night. (To be continued.)

During the season of 1926 the Forest Service of the Department of the In­ terior, through the forest nursery sta­ tions at Indian Head and Sutherland, Saskatchewan, sent out 5,512,425 little trees for planting on prairie farms, and since the beginning of this work in 1901 the total number of trees so sent out has been a little over 87,500,000. The resulting plantations are not part of a wood-lot scheme, the trees being usually set in strips or shelter­ bolts about the farm buildings, but a new idea is gaiped of the extent of the work when it is learned that the 1926 , plantations -covered a little over 2,000 acres, and that the total plantings made since the inauguration of the 1 scheme exceed in extent 32,000 acres*. 1 Thirty-two thousand acres represent® 1 an area fo fifty square miles or nearly a township and a half. Tho planta­ tions referred to, if grouped thus by > themselves, would form but a small > patch in tho immensity of our Middle 1 West, but, as explained in the bogin- l ning, they are not "by themselves” in any sense but form part of a vast scheme, which has already made more homelike and more comfortable 80,300 homes, and given an artistic, cheerful touch to many rural school grounds in the Prairie Provinces. Give Farmers a Start. Tho aim of the Department of the Interior ha-s been to give farmers a start so that once a plantation was es­ tablished the seeds and cuttings from it could be used to begin other shelter­ belts. That this is the way in which the scheme has worked out is indi­ cated by the duct that under the in­ fluence of these eighty thousand orig­ inal plantations the general appear­ ance of the prairie in many sections is gradually changing and on all sides there are splendid examples of cosy farm homes, set amid well planned shelter-belts and surrounded by gar­ dens containing bush and tree fruits. It has been demonstrated that, by breaking the force of high winds and by conserving moisture, shelter-belts increase the production of the farm but they return a dividend a thov.&and- fold greater in the increased comfort and enjoyment afforded by them to the farmer and his household. The shipments of 5,512,425 seedlings and cuttings in the spring of 1926 were distributed among 5,590 farms in Mani­ toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, and during the season an increased stock of material was prepared for distribu­ tion in 1927. Over 7,903,000 seedlings and -cuttings are all ready for packing to meet the 6,200 applications which have been approved by the inspectors.A Inspector Gives Advice.y Under the conditions governing the distribution of this shelter-belt ma­ terial1 any farmer Jiving on the open prairies may secure a reasonable num­ ber of seedlings and cuttings by mak­ ing application to the Tree Planting Division, Forest Service, Department of the Interior, Indian Head, Sas­ katchewan. In order to get the trees to plant in the spring o-f 1928 the ap­ plication must be sent in before March 1, 1927. During the summer of 1927 the ground on which Gio trees are to be planted must be thoroughly sum­ mer-fallowed and an inspector will be sent to visit the farm of the applicant to see that this is done and also to advise him in regard to the arrange­ ment of the belts and methods of planting and caring ior the trees. During the summer of 1926 the farms of 11,200 applicant's were inspected. Many of these had already planted trees during the past two or three years and reports indicate that in spite of tho rather dry, hot period in June and July the newly planted stock has come along splendidly. This result would not have been possible if the soil on which these trees were planted . bad not been well summer-fallowed , the previous season. I Many of the older1 plantations set out from fifteen to twenty years ago ( are now furnishing their owners with considerable material, which can be thinned out without in any way injur- (ing the plantations and which is suit- ; able for fence pests, rails, and sum- , met fuel. j The Miles We Carry! I Statistics show that every inch of ■ cloth contains about twenty-five ' threads running downwards and the same number running across it, so that a square yard . is composed of 1,800 threads', each a yard in length* i The average suit or costume needs four square yards of cloth, so that every man or woman wears something like four miles of wool. Allowing two sets of clothe©-a year, we find' that each of us uses 400 miles of wool in fifty years. When we come to lined or cotton goods, with eighty' or 100 threads each way to the inch, the total length ' of thread becomes appalling. A single ! handkerchief may contain 2,400 strands, each 15in. tv-Ag, so that 1,000 yards of cotton thread are required to make it. 1 A shirt represent® about three mile* ot thread.
