Synopsis of Id -seceding Chapters,
Donald and Mary Cameron are carv-
ing a home out of the Australian wilds.
When little David was four months old
his father set off to Port Southern for
fresh supplies. On the fourth day
two gaunt and ragged men, one of
them wounded, entered the hut. Mary
offered them unstinted hospitality
and heard the story of their escape
from the Island, prison and the
treachery of McNab who had promised
to befriend them -at a price. Clothed
and provided with food, they departed,
the tall one hoping to repay the debt.
Mary refused to aid her husband in
putting the police on their track. Ten
years of industry have brought pros-
perity_ to the Camerons. While mak-
ing a tour of the neighborhood ad-
vocating the establishment of a school,
Mary meets again one of the refugees
of long ago, Daniel Farrel, who is ap-
pointed schoolmaster. Three years
later he brings his motherless. daugh-
ter Deirdre, Davey'splaymate, to Mrs.
Cameron for housewifely instruction.
CHAPTER XI.—(Cont'd.)
"Mother says, Mrs. Cameron dear,"
Jessie cried, "would you please give
her the recipe for making cough -
mixture with gum leaves. And she
sends her love and hopes you are well
as she is—and our ibiack cow has a
calf, anti I found thirteen eggs in a
nest in the creek paddock, and Mick
killed a snake, five-foot long, under
the verandah on Sunday,"
Mrs. Cameron smiled and kissed
her. Jess snuggled' affectionately
against her.
"The Schoolmaster's liiingin,g Deir-
dre," Davey Said.
Mrs. Cameron's eyesflew along the
track to the other cat that was com-
ing slowly up the hillside.
Davey took charge of the Sc'hool-
master's horse. Mrs. Cameron and
he and the children went indoors.
"I've cone to apologize, Mrs. Mrs. Cam-
eron, for Deirdre's rudeness last
night," the Schoolmaster said gravely.;
"It was very good of you to say that
you would teach: her what I so much
;svant her to know. I hope that you
will forgive her and—"
His voice trembled.
"Deirdre, you've got something to
say to Mrs. Cameron' yourself, haven't
you?"
"I'm sorry!" Deirdre cried, with a
dry, breathless gasp.
Her face had whitened; the misery
had 'come into her eyes again. They
went appealingly to the Schoolmaster
and "'back .ta Mrs. Cameron's face..:
"Will you—forgive me' and teach
me to cook and sew and be a goad
housewife," she sobbed, as if she were
repeating a Iessen.
"Poor Child!"
Mrs. Cameron's compassionate gaze
turned from Deirdre to the School-
master.
"Do you really think you ought
to?" she asked.
"So help me God, ma'am," he said,
strugling with 'his emotion. "This is
the only chance I've got of making a
decent woman of her—your influence
—if you will use it. I don't want her
to- be a hoyden. always. She must be
gentled and tamed, and if you will be
as good as to help me—"
He stopped. abruptly.
"You will forgive me: Good -day," ` Dr: S G;•,Shearer,`Secretary SocialService Council of .Canada.
he said, and went out of the room.
Deirdre made a quick, passionate
gesture after him. She did .not call
him, but a sob broke as she stood star-
ing after him. She ran into the gar-
den to watch the cart with him in it
go down the hillside and slip: out of
sight among the trees; then she threw
herself on the grass and sobbed
brokenheartedly.
Davey moved to go out to her.
"Leave her alone," his mother said

Jess responded eagerly to her care

Cauteron's neck and rubbed her sof
little 'face against hers, purrin
affectionately,
"I do love' you, Mrs.: Cameron
dear," she whispered, "Good -night.'
Deirdre submitted to the god -nigh
kiss; she did not respond to it. Of
Davey she took no notice when sh
went to the lithe room she and Jess
were to sleep in, Jess held up be
face for him to kiss as Mrs; Cameron

os .if he ltd not see it, and sh
ran o�i eryhi ;•illy:
"Good night, Davey Jones,
And sweet sleep rest, your banes,'
Jess undressed- methodically. ' As
she took oft each garment she folded
it and laid it neatly on the chair be.
side her bed. When She had on -her
little night-gown of unbleached' calico
she brushed her hair and plaited it
again ao that it hung in two braids
on either side of her face. Then she
knelt down by her bedside, folded her
hands together, and prayed aloud.
She got into bed and looked at
Deirdre aeross the patchwork quilt,
conscious of having Performed her
whole dtirty for the day.
"Aren't you sorry you're such a
bad, naughty, wicked, little girl?" she
asked.
Deirdre's sobs were her only
answer.:.
"God doesn't love you, and'I don't,
and Mrs. Cameron and Davey don't
love you either. Nobody loves had,
Wicked, naughty little girls," Jests
said solemnly.
She put her head on the .pillow and
was sleeping; sweetly, peace#1nlIy, in
a few minutes.
Deirdre crept to the 'open window.
She gazed out of it at the dark heave'.
of the forest that cut her off from
the being she loved and the; lent in
the clearing behind the school. The
blue night sky that spread over her
was spread over the hut in the clear-
ing and the school too, she knew. They
were not many milers away, the hut,
the clearing, and the school. From
gazing steadily before her and realiz-
ing the fact, she glanced from the
window to the ground. It was such.
a little distance.
Davey, going to bed in a loft in the
barn saw her standirvg at the window,
and watched her, a troubled pain at
her suffering gripping his heart.
When she dropped from the win-
dow into the garden he was beside
her in an instant. He naught her
sobbing breath as he •touched her.
"You're not going home, Deirdre?"
h asked.
"Yes!" she panted, her eyes wide
and dark with anguisIh. "I can't bear
it, Davey. I can't breathe."
"He'll be angry," Davey said.
"Yes." She a ied and sobbed quiet-
ly fora moment. "But I'd rather he'd
be Angry than send me ,a i ay Exon

"It'll be niorning soon, if you
wale yyou wouldn't. be home ally
earlier- than; if you waited: for us te'

subtlety. `The Sehoolmastez won't

g to him. "I''ll bring Lass in an hour;
earlier and we can start then."

She turned to him eagerly when,she

she had at last recognized in 'him a
friend to whom she could turn when
everybody's hand was against her.

Statistics of crime are always of
widespread public interest. They are
of special interest at the present time
in Canada by rea.son of their bearing
on the question of the effects of pro-
hibition and of Government sale of
liquor. Extreniists on both sides are
to -quote what suits them, and
reject the others. A represe,ntative of
"Social Welfare" has had access to
the statistical .a.bstract now on file at
the Judicial Branch of the 13ureau of
Statistics. The full 131ue Book will
not.fbe off the press for some time.
Canadaes returns for 1921 show an
increa,se in both indictable and non-
indictsble offences. There is an in
crease of 953 or 5.2% in indictable of-
fences over 1920. In non -indictable of-
fences the increas.e is 13,439 or 0.3%.
The increase is due in con,sidera.ble
measure to new laws, creating new of --
fences. It, is well therefore to look
at the figure& in more detail.

fences against the person, Le„ serious

ume. This no tloubt is due in con-

of crirnes for all offenses for- the year
was 182,647, or roughly, 21 per 1,000
of population, and as we bave seen, of
these 5 per 1,000 were for offenses re-

This, impartial readers will admit,
is not abnormal. The corresponding

suit of' education built largely around
mythological text. '
European diplomacy realize,d at a
'Very early stage, that national educa-.
tion would be a large contributing ele-

the populace, to the belief that music
is an impoatanit part of educational

What the Schools Can Do.
Our public sehOol systems, with very
few exCeptions, are now stressing
music with the hope that no. one shall
leave school ignorant at least of the
influence which music lhas in Charaeter
building for citizenship. Each year's
iliarineus; SUMS, of money ',have been
appropriated by privatmindividualefor
the main,tenance of opera h;oreees, sym-
phony orchestras, choral societies.
Such money was needed because with-
out It little progress; could have been
made. To such citizens, who haee
given , uneelfishly to the great cause
only the fullest praise should be ac-
corded. Criticisiaa is hardly in order,
even by those who still hate to see the
great subject of niu.sic patronized
largely• bY the wealthy. Certain civic

In spite ot ,these conditions', the
