Yes, I see' it now," said Fenella, 'with, a deep, ecstatic breath of recovered peace. How simple it really was, though it, had required as simple a faith as John l Donnell's to open her eyes. In ohe moment a11, the false arguments had dropped away harmlessly; the doubts of the past weeks had been killed• with one stroke. m * The man who lives in a continual tete-a-tete with one idea—who has in it a fellow -workplan, an unseen guest at his table, a. companion in his i leisure'hours, and a bed -fellow to boot —soon begins' to show the symptoms ,'� 'of this slavery in his face. In these days' it was noticed by'some that A,l bert's narrow physiognomy was sharp ening •visibly, while his keen eyes as- sumed that peculiar brilliancy and in- termittent fixity bf look which betrays an, inner consuming fire, That "some_ ` things" which was. to avert the`'family rather it showed a new and more fantastic form each day. The most fant istic, perhaps, being the wild idea of enlisting Ronald Masigilvray pera "on"t d G lly, and entrapping Fenella into a marriage with him—perhaps by means of a compromising situation, not hard to construct. But- nothing promised well enough. ' With Mr. Burrell, his tacit ally, he had taken no further direct counsel until one day in late November, when on the 'point of returning to his work —now rapidly rpproachinp;'completion —he followed him to the quarry,on a small personal errand. Just efore the week -end, the last of his spirit- levels pirit levels had come to grief, smashed by o clumsy workman, and, despite a wire to Oban,, no Substitute had yet arrived Unwilling to, return to the loch -end without' the almost indispensalale in- strument, he had bethought himself of the manager as .the possibie possesso'i of Osie. But the shot; proved a false mw Iitr. Berrell too was out of spirit -levels "It's the°deuce of a bore," said Al bert, "I can't wait•for it, and I can't very,, well do without it, just for to- norrow's job." "It's bound to be here by next post You'll just have to make your sister; send a boat." • , "I suppose so;" grumbled Albert' and was about to take leave. 13ut as he .ptit out, his' hand in farewell, Mr. Berrell's eyes bored themselves into his. ' "How are you getting ori ? Made any progress towards upsetting that accursed marriage ?" • Albert flushed rather painfully. ..,(To be continued:)" e_ ng s iu out tam all the good Slate, sheltered walk intd which she had, misfortune still remained formless, o_r but likewise being put o!i with the worst tools ageing, and submittedto a series of petty annoyances in the matter of blasting regulations and other so-calledsafety measures. Most of them were too poor to act as Toy al ly as they felt "It's not that lid be for turning my back on you, Duncan," one of them explained, "but it's just that i've five children at hone, and so I can't afford to be in the manager's black books." "You're the best workman in the quarry," assured another; "but what's a good workplan without good slate? and how are Jessie and I ever to get married, unless I lay a few pounds be- fore spring? I'm sure you'll under- stand." "I understand perfectly." "1'in blest if I know what the man-, ager has got against you this time." "I think I know," said Duncan, in a wonderfully good humor. "And couldn't you: make it right. with him ?" "0f course I could; but I'm not go- ing to." "Then what will you do?" "Just be my own erew, I suppose." So in November Duncan found him- self working vt=ith two boys young en- ough to be flattered at their admit- tance to the quarry on any terms—he meanwhile doing the work of three men. and whistling gaily as he did so —a habit quite Iately acquired. This para of the persecution, being purely material, was really Iighter than the moral martyrdom undergone, ,by Fenella, for whom Albert's' sug- gestive silences were. even harder to bear than Julia's inexhaustible re - ~SOUP BY INSPIRATION.-, I was once accused of making soup Rice, barley;' macaroni, Ssplit peas, ' by inspiration.

Yet France fights on gloriously! Surely a: common pride in an Ally'fighting the bravest fight of all the ages should be enough to make anyone determine that ii as far as in him lies he will aid such a noble race.... The cablegram adds that sugar, farinaceous foods other than wheat, butter' olid meats are all. dreadfully short and that oils, and fats are practically unobtainable.

It will be chief- ly effective through its thoroughness, in the small but innumerable' house- holds in the land. So, if more foods can be grown on the home plot, no matter how small, there will be: a sav- ing in: exportable food and to that ex- tent an increased amount of food will be released for shipment to the Allies. Every new bushel of vegetables next, Spring aiid Summer will release its equivalent in wheat. i' It is the drops of water,•in the ocean that go to make up the mighty tide of the Bay of Fundy. ' The essence of mote produc- tion does not mean simply more acres put to wheat, blit more eatable things from each man's laleor: A small acre well looked after is ^often more profit- able in an unfavorable season than a large area. An English ferrxl is often measured downwards,, i.e. by the depth: of its productive soil, rather than valued, for its sheer.acreage. Of the need for all exportable Canadian food products no one should longer be in. doubt. The `first of a series 'pf fortnightly cablegrams from France to the Food Controller 'states with a plainness that, would be piti- ful if it were not so noble, how badly off the French civilians are.
