the calm reply. “I didn’t witness the

It’s commonly known around here
that you discouraged their acquain

ing your professional differences—
that’s between the two of you.”
“I wonder,” returned Parrish
evenly, “if you have been complete
ly informed. Your niece took advan
tage of my absence to force her way
into the 'house in the company iof a
minister who should have showed
better judgment— then she married
my son on the pretext of saving his
life in spite of my treatment. As a
matter of fact, his crisis came tlhaf
same night, before she had a chance
to try any .curative method of her
town.”
‘Then what happened? I am very
much interested.”
“Maury began to recover,
merely a matter
that.”
“Surely. I can
say Serenity isn’t
now.”
“No, she is not. As a matter of
fact, she asked me to take over the
■case again. Maury’s mother died
when he was a child and lhe has
never had any care but mine. When
he began to mend—well, he wanted
me. I believe that was only natur
al.
“And proper,” agreed MacDon
ald, wagging his head sagely.
“As a matter of fact,” resumed
Parrish, “he worried over the mat
ter until his wife, fearing a relapse

“And of course you hadn’t been
living here since the marriage.”
“I had not.”
“And Serenity, I take it, has ab
sented herself for the good of the
cause and appears to be missing.
“I must remind you that slhe made
the decision.”
“U-m-m—And what does the

“I have not permitted him to

“Your patient, yes.”
“Would you like to step up and

“Thanks, I believe I’d better not.’
To Parrish’s undisguised amazement
he gave vent to a low chuckle.
“From what I’ve heard .of t'he case,
I believe Maury’s had too many doc

what you have told me has caused

Ten minutes later, as Bolling near-j

whistle of surprise to see Langdon
Parrish turn away from its closed
and locked door and start slowly in
the direction of his waiting buggy.
Without waiting to consider the
consequences, the little cleric called:
“Good morning, .Langdon! Look
ing for somebody?”
Parrish started slightly at the
greeting, then turned and strode
swiftly in Boiling’s direction. As he
came closer, he glanced about 'him
and demanded in subdued tonnes:
“Where has that woman gone?”
“What woman do you mean, Lang

Concerted Action Asked
Thus did Lieutenant-Governor Her
bert A. Bruce launch a drive calling
for concerted action against cancer
n a broadcast Thursday night of last
week from Maple Leaf Gardens be
tween periods of the hockey game
between Toronto and Boston. His
message was carried over a network
of Ontario radio stations, through
the courtesy of General Motors in
■his first public appeal for support of
the King George V. Silver Jubilee
Cancer Fund.
“If you brought into this building
all the people in this Province who
are qt this moment suffering from
cancer, they would fill these seats,”
he stated. Continuing he made a
startling disclosure “4,000 of them
will die before the year is out.”
•Dr. Bruce deplored the lack of in
stitutions with facilities for the
scientist in his work or investigating
the cause of the disease and its cure.
“There must be a cure, but the cause
must be first discovered by medical
research. This research will only
be possible if we all help to provide
the necessary fundis. All money col
lected will be spent in Canada.”
Death Ratio Increases

enror, who attended the N.H.L, play

claimed, could medical science suc
cessfully fight the disease.
Concluding his address, he appeal
ed to every one to contribute one
dollar or more to the Cancer Fund.
“As the banks have kindly consent
ed to forward all contributions to
Ottawa, all you have to do is hand
your dollar in to the nearest bank,
and you will receive in due course a
personal acknowledgement from her
Excellency the Countess of Besslmr-
ough.”
The editor of the Times-Advocate
was in Toronto for a few .days
recently attending the annual con
vention of the Ontario' and Quebec
divisions of the Canadian Weekly
Newspapers Association at the Royal
York Hotel, The convention this
year was of particular interest and
was very instructive. Mayor James
Simpson, of Toronto, welcomed the
visitors and being for many years
associated with newspaper work in
Toronto he told many interesting
reminiscences. One of the interest
ing speakers at the convention was
Mr. Geo. S. Hougham, executive se
cretary of the Ontario Division of
the Retail Merchants Association.
For the past 18 months Mr. Hough
am has been actively engaged before
the Price Spreads Committee at Ot
tawa, and his address was punctuat
ed with questions as to the effect
the present trend of business will
have on the welfare of the country
at large.
At the noon luncheon on Friday,
Hon. Mitchell F. Hepburn, the
Premier of Ontario, told of the
many problems that were facing him
and his cabinet. He invited critic
ism but hoped that it would be con
structive. He regretted the 'fact
that the government had found it
necessary to replace so many men
but this had been done to cut down
the cost of administration. He was
bound to balance the budget even
though new taxes had to be levied.
If new taxes were necessary they
would be placed on those who could
best afford to- pay them;
At the evening banquet the guest
speaker was His Honour Dr. Herbert
A. Bruce, Lieut.-Governor of Ontar
io. Dr. Bruce made a strong appeal
for the support of the Cancer Fund
to be raised in connection with
King George's Silver Jubilee. A con
tribution of one dollar from each
one is asked.
On 'Saturday the members of the
party were taken to Brampton where
they visited the plants of thg Char
ters Publishing Co., the Copeland-
Chatterson Co., and the Dale Nurs
eries. The latter firm owns and op
erate 250 acres of land, 35 acres of
‘’which are under glass, with an an
nual production under glass of 10,-
000,000 bloom, the largest concern?
of its kind in America. Following
the inspection of the nurseries each
of the members were presented with
a box containing a dozen autograph
ed roses. 'Hallowing the visit to
the Dale Nurseries the party, over
75 in number were treated to a most
delightful buffet luncheon at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. C. V. Charters.
The Charters plant ivs one of the
finest outside of the larger 'centres
and is well equipped to take care of
five suburban Toronto newspapers
besides their own.
The Main St. Mission Circle met
at the home of Miss Ina Jaques on
Tuesday evening with a good at
tendance. Miss Evelyn" Howard,
president, was in charge. The scrip
ture lesson was recited by Ilene An
drew. A reading describing a wed
ding in India was given by Miss Hil
da Sims. A reading in the form of
questions and answers on missions
was given by Merna Sims and Gladys
Ryckman; piano instrumental by
Violet Gambrill. An article on how
to raise money was read by Dorothy
Sims. The topic taken from the
study book was given by Doreen
Caldwell. Business was conducted
by Miss Howard. If was decided to
invite the Thames Rd. Circle to visit'
Main St. April 3 0th. A very inter
esting letter from M.rs. Layton, Hon.
President, relating her experiences
in California was read by Violet
Gambrill. Lunch was served at the
close.
The regular meeting of the Will
ing Workers Mission Circle was held
at the home of Mrs, W. J. Witmer,
Monday evening. The president took
charge of the business part of the
meeting when it was decided to send
two layettes to Kincaid, Sask. The
W. M. S. and C.G.I.T. will be their
guests at the May meeting to be
held in the church. Mrs. Carey took
charge of the meeting at this time.
Following a hymn Mrs. Carey led in
prayer. Miss Loreen Dunn read the
the devotional leaflet; Miss Alice
Handford gave a sketch of the work
of a Missionary in China and Mrs.
Rowe led in prayer. Misses Margaret
Johns and Pearl Wood played an in

and fitting at this season. Miss Me
