Net for a second was Andre-Louis under any delusion as to the man’s de iberate purpose, nor were those who stood near him, who made a be­ lated and ineffectual attempt to close about him. He was grievously dis­ appointed. It was not Chabrillane he bal been expecting. But if Chabrillane was the man, matter to the universal satisfaction, Andre-Louis paused before taking his seat. He felt it incumbent upon him to reveal the true fact, “M. Io President, my excuses for my late arrival.” There was no ne-| cessity for this. It was a mere piece • his lips. He must afford no provoca­ tion/ It must be for them to fasten their quarrels upon him. Still, matter’s could not be .lefts where they were, or he should have! had all his pains fcr nothing.

His assailant reeled backward a few stans. and then his heel struck a 1 aulk of timber left on the ground by some workmen that morning, and he sat dewn suddenly in the mud. A rear of laughter rose from all who witness the fine gentleman’s downfa'L He rose, mud-bespattered, in a fmy. and in that fury sprang at / n lrc-I ouis. “You shall meet me for this!” he splattered. “I .shall kill you for it.” “Whene-er you please, monsieur.

After Every Meal was absent from those eager ranks. This seemed to him odd. La Tour d’Azyr was Chabrillane’s cousin and closest friend. Surely he should have been among the first to-day. To And're-Louis, since La Tour was not one of that waiting pack, it mattered little on that Tuesday morn­ ing who should be the next. The next, as it happened, was the young Vi­ comte de La Motte-Royau, one of the deadliest blades in the group. On the Wednesday morning, com­ ing again an hour or so late to the Assemly, Andre-Louis announced—in much the same terms as he had an­ nounced’ the death of Chabrillane— that M. de La Mbtte-Royau would1 probably not disturb the harmony of the Assembly for some weeks to come, assuming that he were so fortunate j as to recover ultimately from the i effects of an unpleasant accident with I which he had quite unexpectedly had the misfortune to meet that morning. On Thursday he made an identical I announcement with regard to the Vi-{ dame ,de Blavon. On Friday he told them that he had been delayed by M. de Troiscantins, and then turning to the members of the Cote Droit, and lengthening his face to a sympathetic gravity: “1 am glad to inform you, mes­ sieurs, that M. des Troiscantins is in the hands of a very competent sur-! geon ‘who hopes with care to restore him to your councils in a few weeks’ i time.” The Friday of that very busy -week. found the vestibule of the Menage' empty of swordsmen when he made; his leisurely and expectant egress! with Le Chapelier. “Have they had enough?” he won-; dered, addressing the question to Iz Chapelier. !

Prints are swiftly | made at one of the chain blacksmith, shops xnaintainied all over Europe for such emergencies. These prints are made on porous plaster and sent to the nearest telegraph office by violet ray.

Ultimately the operators shout, “We give up!” and. scatter'the pieces all over the floor.

Under this scheme, tlie-British and Canadian Governments propose jointly to ex­ pand a total sum of five million dollars over a period of ten years in the form of recoverable advances to assist suit­ able British youths to take up farm­ ing in Canada on their own account. It is the ments that ages of 14 to proceed farms, should be able to look forward to a definite career on the land. A large number of British boys who come out as farm workers do, cf course, become farmers, but so far they have had to rely entirely upo:i their own efforts for the necessary capital to purchase and equip a farm, and this may take a considcrble num­ ber cf years. The new scheme aims at curtailing this period of waiting, and under it a British youth at the end of a few, years spent in gaining the necessary training and experience in Canada and in accumulating some savings, wall have the opportunity cf being placed on a farm of his own under government supervision. The scheme will apply to beys who hav-e received assisted passages, have passed through the Provincial train­ ing centres in Canada, and who are be­ tween 14 and 20 years of age on ar­ rival in tho Dominion. On reaching , 21 years of age, the boys—provided that they have acquired the neecrsary training and experience by working for wages on a farm in Canada, and have saved be eligible ‘amount net purchase of equipment, to young men over 25 years of age. Settlement under this scheme will commence on April. 1, 1928, and will extend over a period of 10 years. Government Responsibility The scheme provides for the co­ operation of the Provincial Govern­ ments and the extent of the settlo- .ment in each province will depend upon the measuJCcf such co-operatica. The Dominion Government will, how- * ever, .assume responsibility fcr actual settlement and the general administra­ tion of the scheme. During the past year training cen­ tres have been established in several of the provinces under Government control and supervision. The British •and Canadian Governments make a. joint cash contribution towards the operation of these Provincial training centres, which are regarded as tlm ' basis of this Dominion-wide boys* set­tlement scheme, • " It is believed that the prospect now afforded to thrifty and industrious British boys of ,a definite career on the land will have the -effect of .‘limu^ ating interest among British Ir the opportunities open to them in Canada under exisKhg boy mibration. and under new' sch now being developed. ■ This scheme gives effect as far as Canada is concerned to recommenda­ tions of the Imperial Conference, 192L which drew attention to the impor­ tance of ^ounterpacting the drift to the cities- and of providing some as­ sistance to enable suitable settlors to acquire farms of their own when they had gained tne necessary local experi­ ence and were in a position to make a deposit in respect of the purchase price of the land. London Newspaper Comment The Morning Post in a leading editorial on the new agreement con­ cluded between the British aml’Cdna- I dian Governments, under which boys. who have been or are being trained on land in Canada upon attaining the age of 21 may receive an advance of £500 to enable them to start cn their own farms, says: “It cannot, of.course, be said that under the new agreement which is strictly—perhaps too strictly—limited ,in its scope, any considerable Increase in migration will result."

Walter Andrews, Limited, 346 Yongs St., Toronto, Ont. “A thing of beauty,” the poet has said, “is a joy forever.” If it be so— and who can doubt it?—there is little likelihood that sailing ships will soon be forgotten, 'Beauty, spacious and intriguing, was their birthright; grace of motion and symmetry of outline their endowment in superlative meas­ ure; and the authentic spirit cf "ro­ mance,""which is the dower of beauty, a halo broad upon them and around them. To the men who sailed^those ships, and to the many more who loved them, there is comfort in the thought. The swift, shapely hulls’, each sitting the water like a resting gull; the wind-filled fabrics aloft, which resemb­ led, in their white contours, the fleecy masses of cloud above the sky-line of the Trades, have gone. But in their going they have suffered an apo­ theosis, like that which befell the winged courses of Perseus. Passing from the oceans of the world, they have not passed beyond the ken cf those who set beauty above utility, nor­ is it in the waters of Lethe that their star has set.’ A fairer fate has met them. On the happy seas of memory, by coasts of old renown, and flushed with the rainbow hues of the imagina­ tion, they ' rest secure—a thing of beauty inalienably, and a joy for all time. In this excelling grace and fairness that was theirs, here and not else­ where, lies the fascination of clipper­ ships. Othfi” criteria may condemn them, but this never. From an eco­ nomic standpoint they have become obsolete in’consequence of the sup­ erior efficiency of the steam-driven vessel. But from an aesthetic point of view the position Is far otherwise. Who would be so hardly as to main­ tain that a steamer is more beautiful', more a swaying vision of pure loveli- n*ss, than a white-winged Sou'-Spain- er, a-tiptoei on the blue rim of the ‘world, with spray-bows bejewelling her track, and the winds of heaven a-frollc in her sails? . . .
