"Clare, of course!” she thought and saw the same idea reflected on Angela’s face. The older woman put out an arm and steadied her for a minute. “Let’s have our tea,” she said. “What a relief to know that noth­ ing has happened to him!” “Yes, a relief,” Jen'nv responded in the tones of a parrot. “I wonder when the next train goes down,” Jenny inquired, sipping her tea. “There is'n’t another till we all leave at half-past ten to-night. I’ve enquired.” “Heavens!” said Jenny. “How gay I shall feel until then. Marooned in Bangkok. Peter on the What does it all mean?” "My dear, you’re making tain out of a molehill.” voice was soothing. “Angela, you know better.” ■Of course she did. Angela thought with a sudden rush of pain of Lovat stealing out of their stateroom af­ ter he had danced with Clare, Lovat kissing his hand and waving to Clare at Cairo. She knew that Jenny had good grounds for her fears. “Let’s walk about,” Jenny sug­ gested, restless and brooding. "We’ll tvalk in the gardens.” Round and round they went, past Greek statutes, terraces and hedges, their feet crunching on the gravel paths. The Marenia passengers were dozing on the verandah or be­ hind the cool shutters of the hotel. “What time is it now, Angela?” “Five o’clock.” her with Marenia. a mo un­ Angela’s whipping in from the gulf. Angela took off her hat and her silver hair flew loosey over her ears. Jenny still clutched Peter’s cigarette-case in her hand. The boat drew nearer and nearer. They could now detect the outline of lire funnels looming above the life­ boats. Jenny picked out a nautical cap. It must be Dick Charlton in his white unfiorm. The chasm of water narrowed till they touched the sides of the Marenia. She did not known if her feet would carry her uo her stateroom, or sustain when she come face to face Peter. “Buck up, >old dear!” said Angela. ‘We might as well be moving down.’ Jenny caught a glimpse of a tall figure looking over the side of the promenade deck. The shoulders sug­ gested Peter; the face she could not see. He might be waiting for her at the gangplank. The tender was bumping her sides against the steamer, scraping and tearing, heav­ ing and barging off. Angela and Jenny were caught in the outgoing rush and were among the last to leave the boat. Angela saw that the girl’s face was like skimmed milk, and she caught her round the waist. Jenny drew her hat down over her eyes and stepped up the ladder her glance darting from side to side. Dick smiled at her in passing, although she scarce­ ly saw him. There was no sign of 'Peter. Of course not. He would wait for .her in their stateroom. Angela took her part-way along to her door, for Jenny’s legs were wavering. It was open and on the around, but there Peter. “He’s always she explained. ‘He’s but he forgets that the courtyard else?

Jenny wanted to rest for a while. They took a room, and each in turn had a cooling bath. It was refreshing, and Jenny felt her courage Angela took, a nap, but Jenny i not close her eyes. It seemed as if Jenny had five years -when Angela wakened. "Forgive me for dropping off when you were so miserable,” she pleaded "Nonsense! I'm glad you did. There’s nothing you can do.” Angela studied her closely. “Let us have another hath, then we will go down to dinner.

She pulled tlm curtain aside and gripped it again to steady her­ self as she saw that the room was dark. Perhaps he was in bed and asleep.

Of course, Peter was sure to be somewhere about. The hotel was really an old palace With spacious salons like ballrooms, and bedrooms the size of halls. There was no sign of Peter in? the lounge. He had not been heard of at the desk jio.r was he in the bar, -where Mac­ duff was busy with the Phya Thai cocktail. Her dismay came back, swooping down on her with fresh dortainty. Angela made some dis­ creet enquiries, but none of the entiso men had caught a glimpse of IJerhapS His launch was still in th® .river,' or he had wandered off io explore another part of the town.

Night, star-flecked and warmly perfumed, came hurrying down as they dined. Afterwards they went out to the garden, which was magical in the silvery essence of the evening. “What an idyllic exclaimed, seating marble bench and Greek columns. “I feel as if tills Jenny’s voice broke thoughts. “We’ll soon be on She slipped her arm protectingly through her friend’s. An hour later Jenny stood at the roadside like one in a dream, wait­ ing for the train to take them back to Packman. It was slow in*, coming, and her pulses raced in her fever to reach the boat. But what should she do when she confronted Peter? At last they were off, and watched the heads of the tired sengers nodding in the yellow bles of light. When they reached paknam still had by tender, que and throbbing, thorns piercing her flesh, was a comforting presence, although she did not attempt to talk to her. The tender rode smoothly, the water slapping her sides. A breeze came she pas* bub* they a long distance to travel , Jenny felt ill with fati- worry. Her head was and her fears ■were like Angela . nead in> the pillow, ,»ed wildly and hysterically. ..i last exhausted, she fell asleep and did not hear a knock on the door. Reassured by the quiet, An­ gela stole away, believing that it was no longer any of her concern. They were already pounding through the Gulf >of Siam, the Marenia steer­ ing her course with midnight stealth on limpid waters. Jenny slept late, a heavy, drugged slumber. When she wakened, the sun was pouring in through the open porthole, and the rose wall­ lights were still on, like evening dress at breakfast time. She looked across at the other bed and saw that it was empty. Then she remembered the events of the night before. Rais­ ing herself on her elbow, she held hei’ head which ached as if it had been hit with a hammer. Her glance swept around the stateroom for familiar objects, and in a second she sprang to her feet. Where were Peter’s things All of his things? She dashed into the bathroom. I-Iis brushes, his hair tonic, his soap, liis razor—‘everything was gone. Dared she opened his wardrobe doof? She sat. down on a chair and waited for strength, but it did not come. At last she staggered across the cabin and looked inside the closet. It was empty, Peter must have moved en­ tirely to another stateroom. Ho must be somewhere on the boat, but’hid­ ing from her. What should she do? (Continued next week.) A word to the wise—Never plant more garden than your wife hoe. can May Parties for the Young Hostess (By Barbara B. Brooks) If you are learning to cook and have reached the advanced stage of making sauces and baking cakes, you are ready to give your very own party. Here are two easy menus for a little girl’s first party. For the afternoon .refreshments you may serve both sandwiches and May Bas­ ket Cakes, or either of these alone, with punch. The supper menu may be served for luncheon instead, if you prefer. Parties should always be planned for days when you have plenty of time to prepare most of the refresh­ ments in advance. Have everything ready that can be done before you guests arrive. Plan carefully exactly what must be doue after guests ar­ rive and how you are going to do it. It is very helpful to make a list of these last minute things and to ask some reliable person to help you. You will always find yourself excited when the guests begin coming and it it easy to become confused if you have too much to do, or if you are not sure what you must do.

Prior to 1843 the dis­ trict was an unbroken wilderness. The first movement to settle Mc­ Gillivray Township was made 9 3 years ago when the Canada Company in conjunction with the Government opened a road from Clandeboye to Lake Huron. McGillivray was for­ merly a part of Huron, but the dis­ tance from there to Goderich, the county town, was so great as to be a hardship to the inhabitants in at­ tending court, so they petitioned to ,be annexed to Middlesex and were united in 1865. Next to London, Mc­ Gillivray is the largest township in the county. Among the earlier settlers were Patrick Flannigan. Mr. Shoultz, Jas. Barber, William Carter and James C. Priestly. In 185 0, under the Muni­ cipal Act, which had just become ef­ fective, it was necessary to elect five freeholders to the council, but it was found there were only four who could act, so Mr.-Priestly, who had only been in the township for a couple of months, was elected a member of the first council. In 18'52 Henry Mark, who emi­ grated from Cornwall, England, to Reach, Ont., when he was 18 years old, moved to McGillivray. He walk­ ed the entire distance which was considerably over 10 0 miles, driving his small number of cattle. He set­ tled on lot 18, concession 8 in what became known as the Mark Settle­ ment, comprising near 1,0 00 acres. The first school teacher in the township was Sarah Revington, com­ ing from Clandeboye to teach at Lieury in a log school house. She married Sam Cathro, who cleared the farm now owned ;by Andrew Er­ skine. Sandy Cathro a brother, came from New Brunswick 9 0 years ago and settled on the Sth con. where a Baptist church formerly stood. Later he sold it to his father, Peter Cathro, and moving east of Lieury cleared another farm where he died. David Daley settled in McGiliivray over 80 years ago on the farm now owned by John Reid on the Sth con­ cession. Mr. Potter settled on a farm north of Lieury with only 5 0c. and his axe; after eight years he left 200 acres of land and a tidy sum in the bank to -his kin. Over 80 years ago Ezra Turner cleared a farm on the 7th Concession' of McGillivray east of the Centre road and taught in a log schoolhouse just opposite. Smithy as preacher Mr. Turner preached in the first church on the 8th Concession of Mc­ Gillivray, which was opened by the Baptists and lated a Baptist Church in Parkhill about 1876. A local preacher in those days never receiv­ ed over $100 a year. They were all local preachers at that time; Mr. Poulter had a blacksmith shop at Moray, and preached at Brazil’s church for nothing; Tom Snowden also preaohed there. T. Jennings built a sawmill on the 8th concession and another sawmill was built by Mr. Hawkey on the 21st where John Laurie now lives. The first church was west of Greenway a Lutheran church, and the first Presbyterian church was east of Lieury on the Robinson farm. Richard Lambert took over his father’s business in Carlisle, ran a water mill, made cloth out of wool, dyed it and wont around and sold it to the farmers. Later he built a mill in Ailsa Craig and installed a carding mill. There was a water- driven grist mill east of Brinsley on the river then called Buffalo. The miller took toll and gave back the, bran, flour and shorts. Mr. Ellwood built a house on the corner where his grandson, the de- puty-Reeve, Cecil Ellwood, now lives a mile and a half cast of Brinsley. He cleared the farm and built a log house and barn. He was a tailor by trade and ran the first sewing ma­ chine 'in London. John Reid had the first mower. North of Greenway were all cor­ duroy roads, logs placed crosswise with dirt on top. What is your idea of a gentleman? A true gentleman always laughs at the joke of a story and never says he has hoard it before. II. C. HAYES, ELECTED BENCHER The result of the recent elections of the Law Society of Upper Canada, announced last week, show the elec­ tion of Robert Cockburn Hayes, bar­ rister of Goderich, <as one of the th'irty “benchers.” This is the first time in twelve years that the bar of Huron has been represented among the bench­ ers, the last Huron representative having been the late Senator William Proudfoot. The election is for a term of five years. The “benc'hers” con­ stitute the executive management of the Law Society of Upper Canada, which is charged with the disciplin­ ing of the members of the legal pro­ fession and the determination of the rules governing the profession. The administration of the affairs of the Law School also is in the hands of the benchers. Mr. Hayes will at­ tend his first convocation at Osgoode Hall in May. One of the senior benchers is Robert S. Robertson K.C. a well-known Goderich old boy who is one of the leaders of the profes­ sion in Toronto. —'Goderich Signal SCHOOL REPORT The following is the report of the Easter examinations of S. S.
