The assailant was one of a considerable group of the opposition, a group that found itself at once beset on every side, and hard put to defend him.

In simple language, now he tore their nearts with the story of yesterday’s happening,s-^ht ’ Gavrillac. CHAPTER VIII. Andre-Louis rode forth from Ren­ nes committed to a deeper adventure than he had dreamed of when he left the sleepy village of Gavrillac. Ly­ ing the night at a roadside inn, and setting out again early in the morn­ ing, he came on his errand of sedition into that beautiful city of Nantes. It was striking two, the busiest hour of the d'ay upon the Bourse, j when Andre-Louis reached the Place tollable within the borders' of Canada, carry a gun. or kill any animal or bird, as I have been from the first day I en- wild life tered the Dominion, is hardly suf-' a source flclent to complete the miracle that makes an Old Country newcomer into a. Canadian citizen. To Appreciate Home One Must Leave It. That return voyage across the At­ lantic Is needed, I think, that marvel­ lous experience of looking at, and thinking of Canada—as your homeland —from the shores of the land that was once home to you; and most of all per­ haps, That heart-stirring experience of meeting Canadians born away from their wonderful country, and hearing them claim you as Canadian with, that1 warmth of heart which is theirs In ' such hospitable perfection. | As I have suggested, in order to, know Canadians at their best, you ! must meet them out of their own land,' after knowing their worih within their ,own borders. There is something to be said for travel. It does broaden I and develop minds amazingly. It does I make the heart expand, and the eyes, awaken to 'wider prospects, make countries come closer together, ■and 'bring the native-born countries to a better understanding of one another. And for Canadians, whose country cries out mightily and with rich promise for more people will­ ing to come and' settle on her fertile soil, the experience of travelling abroad seems to have a superb inten­ sifying effect. The Bond of Blood. They are more wonderfully Cana­ dian than ever, greater in warmth of' heart, grander in confidence in their) own land, prouder and more purpose-1 ful in patriotism, if possible, even more hospitable than they are within' their own Canadian domains. It is in- ‘ finitely worth while for those who have settled for a few years in Canada to ) bestir themselves, even at some cost, ‘ from the comforts of their new Cana-) dian homes, and to voyage forth again towards the Old Lands they have lert. Let them learn the marvellous thrill of the backward look towards Canada ..from their native land. Let them dis­ cover what it means to begin to" think of Canada as “Home” and the Cana­ dian-born as something . nearer and dearer to them than mere neighbors. Then let them by good fortune, and through the fine generosity of- some Canadian-born abroad, come to claimed in those kindly Canadian cents, as “Canadians too.” If that does not stir them to very soul with a new loyalty to Can­ ada, then there is nothing in the bond of blood for those of the British stock. lsts. is increasing rapidly and is of great enjoyment to tuor- Liniment soothes tired feet.Minard’s Circumstantial Evidence. A farmer who was noted for his somewhat tight-fisted proclivities aj}d who had driven into town to dispose 1 of some farm products, was telephon­ ing to Ills wife after mooting some old cronies. “Bessie,” he inquired, “what kind of earrings did you say you wanted?” exclaimed his good "An­ don 't you touch another the States of Brittany in Rennes, re­ sisted your will—our will—despite the King’s plain hint to them, His Majesty has dissolved the State." There was a burst of delirious ap­ plause. Gradually stored, and at last able to proceed. “You rejoice too nately, the nobles, in their insolent arrogance, have elected to ignore the royal dissolution, and in despite of it persist in sitting and In conducting matters as seem good to them. “This is iw new thing. Always has it been the same?1 They have flouted the authority -of the King, and they are silencing by assassination those who raise their voices to condemn them. Yesterday in Rennes, two young men who addressed the people as I am addressing you were done to death in the streets by assassins at the instigation of the nobility. Their blood cries out for vengeance." Acclamations broke out unstintedly, now. He had caught them in the snare of his oratory. And he press­ ed his advantage instantly. “Let us all swear," he cried in a great voice, “to raise up in the name of humanity and of liberty a ram­ part against our enemies, to oppose to their bloodthirsty covetousness the calm perseverance of men whose cause is just. Let us make, oath upon the honor of our motherland that should any of us be seized by an unjust tri­ bunal, intending against us one of those acts termed as. political expedi­ ency—which are, in effect, but acts of despotism—let us swear, I say, to give a full expression to the strength that is in us and do that in self- defence which nature, courage, and despair dictate to us." I need not dwell at any length upon the sequel. It is a matter of history how that oath which Omnes Omnibus administered to the "citizens of Nantes formed the backbone of the formal protest which they drew up and sign­ ed in their thousands. strange playmates. A motherly bush reaches out a watchful arm and stops the tMg long enough to gently admonish it to behave. She then reluctantly re­ leases it to resume its wild gambols. The brooVpasses beneatli a frown­ ing bridge, giving its base a mis­ chievous slap as it swishes along. A dam causes the brook to hesitate a moment in wonder.

The) dam has been too difficult for the •h I dish brook to understap.^ The banks for the first time nolice it3 rapid growth and draw away from The stream slows down its pace in consternation. It ponders on their strange behavior. ' It becomes more taciturn and quiet, brooding to itself. The brook hesi­ tates, but briefly, however, only to move swiftly and excitedly onward.* It then rushes along furiously, con-* sidering its fancied'■wrong, tumbling over a falls with an indignant boom­ ing roar. It boils with rage. The stream slowly calms down and begins to realize the truth. It has matured and is no longer a little brook but a full-grown river. The Tiver thoughtfully continues on its way, ,a great, humble, placid stream. It gently flows along, cares­ sing the soft,, grassy banks, trying to make up for its outburst of childish temper. 1 The apology must have been accept­ ed, for the river continues on its way with a soft murmur of happiness. To know the happy consciousness of the thirsty animals partaking of its pre­ cious fluid, the trees stretching out their long trunks endeavoring to se­ cure their share of the crystal water, is its reward. The big river is at last contented, for it realizes its grand purpose— the privilege of helping others. I monsieur," said Andre- if silence was re- Andre-Louis was soon.

The sweetly scented talcuni powder with which women all over-the con­ tinent powder their noses and. dust their babies is another Canadian raw material about which little is heard and concerning which little is known by the general public. Talc in its native condition is really a soft rock and is also known as steatite or soap­ stone. To chemists it is known as magnesium silicate. It is easily cut, silvery white in color, has a greasy feel and when powdered it is known as French chalk. It is heat-resisting 1 and non-conductive. It is used prin-.

It also enters into the faithless to the side that employed manufacture of rubber goods and tex­ tiles and cut in blocks is used in fur­ nace linings. Canada possesses the most important high-grade talc de­ posits in the world. The very highest qualities are necessary in the manu­ facture of talcum powder, and East­ ern Ontario is the chief source of supply of the indispensable toilet article for the North American con­ tinent. , T.____ .......... Farm Machinery Repairs Are Costly. According to an investigation by the Department of Agriculture, the greatest single item in the cost of farm machinery is repairs. It is obvious, therefore, that care in hand­ ling, oiling, tightening bolts, paint­ ing, etc., presents the greatest op­ portunity for saving. Careful hous­ ing of the. machinery is important in Eastern Canada, but not so import; ant on the prairie.

Firestone engineers were developing the Bal­ loon Tire they found it necessary to design a tread altogether dif­ ferent from that which is required by High Pressure Tires. The projections of the cross- and-square tread are small and the rider strips narrow to permit * the tread to cling to the road, giving the greatest non-skid sur­ face. This tough, pliable tread has the wear-resisting qualities that give thousands of extra miles of service. Thia flexible tread must be placecT on a flexible carcass. To pFovide for the extra flexing strains Firestone dips the cords of the carcass in a rubber solu­ tion. By this process, eyary fiber of every* cord is saturated and sulated with rubber, minimizing friction and wear.
