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 Wild aright' to; behave.

Jess responded eagerly to her care ess, She threw her arms relied Mrs 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 Ball dobe, but: he turned away brusqu 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 him.," "It'll be niorning soon, if you wale yyou wouldn't. be home ally earlier- than; if you waited: for us te' go to; school," Davey said, with rare' subtlety. `The Sehoolmastez won't angry if you wait till ;thexi, DeilX/re, and----" A brilliant inspiration carne g to him. "I''ll bring Lass in an hour; earlier and we can start then." "True, Davey?" Iter_` eyes questioned biro tragically. t "True as death!" he said, and struck les breast three times. e She turnedto go .back to' the bed: room. sorry—that sorry, Deirdre," • he cried, fumbling, for words, and un e- able to express `tis sympatle .' e She dad not. turn or look beck at. him as she elamberel in the window; but" her Ease in the -morning showed ed that she understood his c�harnpionship. She turned to him eagerly when,she saw loin at breakfast, a subdued grati ,tude in her eyes. Davey thought that she had at last recognized in 'him a friend to whom she could turn when everybody's hand was against her.

Main 3014,,, 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. The •whole group of inclieta.ble of- fences against the person, Le„ serious crimee such as murder, manslaugiater, rape, assault, bigamy, procuring for immoral purposes, etc , show a decided decrease an occurrence ethanol" an in- crease in, convictions , was also se- cUred—a healthy condition. Of cer- tain crimes in this wth.ole group, charges far non-support of family stow a decrease of peactically 20%, while murder, rape, and manslaughter, particularly murder and rape, 'show consid.erable increa.se. Burglary, ban- ditry, robbery and like crimes also show a considerable i,n,crease in, vol- ume. This no tloubt is due in con- siderable measure to the extensive end heavy unemployinsnt and busi- ness depT82,9!iC31. A similar increase is shown i crimes without violence aga.inst pro- perty sncli tics Plaieft. embezzlement, false ,pretenses, doubtless dua to the caus,es.above cit.ed, but malicious of- fenses against property are marked by saight.decrease. -There is a slight increase 1.0 forgery- s.n,d offenses against the curren-cy.

These against her Vehicles Acts 'and her In- sid,arable increase, due to ,new laws having , come 'into operation. The weele vol.u.me of offenses. in 1921 aria- ing from arnnkenneas, violation of liquor laws, etc., amounts to 5 per 1,000 of populatio.n, the rate for 1911 being 6.4 per 1,000. The entire volume 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- lating to drunker:as:es and non-obeer- vaece of liquor laWs. This, impartial readers will admit, is not abnormal. The corresponding figures for 1911 are 17.5 par 1,000 and 6.4 respectively, Tilie inerease from 1901-1911 was 7%. That for 1911-1921 Offenses against motor regulations total 33,641, or 3.8 per 1,000 of popu- lation, as eonipareci 'with 34,362 breaches of liquor laws. .

Offences against the drug laws after.clecisive stringthe,ning of the, laws themselves, and more- vigerous enforcement thereof, totaled 1,443, an increas,e of only 13' or less than 1.,%. These •affences ,ragresent roughly 16 pe -r 1'00;000 of population. • Briti.sh Columbia always heads the list in this column which is in con- siderable nseasure doubtless due to her large proportionate Oriental popu- lation.

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.

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.
