Everybody called him that even Deirdre when she spoke of hila: They had gone to live in a cottage on the outskirts of the township. The. Schoolmaster had taken up his old trade though it was understood he bad been droving with Conal for Maitland the greaterart of the.time are p .had .been. away. Deirdre had. wandered with him whenever he went and it was on her account 'he was enxrious to get (back to steadier and more settled ways of life, it was said. Before long two or three of the brorwn-skinned Wirree children were trotting to the cottage far lessons every day. The south had heard a great deal of Sam Maitland, head of the well-known firm of "Maitland & Costock-dealers, of Coobiu' a, New South Wales. 'There bad been a bad season in the north-west fora •couple of years. Mait- land had bought up poor beasts and sent them to fatten in the south. Conal had been driving, them through h Wirreeford at intervals of two or three months, taking the fattened beasts Back on the return journey over the border after be brought down the etarvers. All theek' we the.. township slept: Wpeacefully in the spring sunshine. hen a clear, young moon came ups ever the plainsin the evenings,it drenched' them with, wan, silver liht. But on Friday morning at dawn, the cattle came pouring into the town, with a cracking of whips, barking of dogs, yielTing and shouting of men: and boys. Wfth a rush and a rattling of horns, they charged along ,between the rows of huddled bousee, swinging from elle, side to the other of the. traeik, . wild and fearful -eyed, with lowered heads, tong strings of glisten g saliva dripping from their rre�ouths. seemed to be searching for the. Oppeetanity to break ani heed out to 'the hills again. But ringed ' with eraeking , g' - hrushin horses jztappling' dogs, they were turned into the saIe-yard. The one street of Wirree been cobbled for some distance on either side of the sale -yards because the `cattle and horses made a sea of nnld about them when the spring rains had "soaked into the soft earth. The stores and shanties were full on sale days. Drovers, rough: -'haired,. hawk-eyed men, tenth faces seared and seamed'` with the duet of the roads, hands burnt, and. broken with barcva, slouched akng the streets, or stood watching their cattle, yarning in de-, sultery fashion, leaning over the rails of the draftingyards. ds. They smoked, or chewed- and spat, in front of the; shanties, and at night sprawled over. the tableat thel Black a Bull, cards or tossing dice. • A mob that had travelled. a long way was often yarded the night be-' fore the sales. When the selling for the day was over, the beasts that had come down from the hills were driven out :along the Rane road, and got under way for the noisthern markets;' but sometimes they were left in the yards, lowing and bellowing all night, while the stockmen who were going' to take charge of then ,spent the evening at the Black Bull,' or Mrs Mary Ann's. The townshipwas full of the smell of cattle and dogs, and of the muddy, slow.Iy-moving river that had become a waste butt for the houses. In the early spring, breezes from the ocean with a tang' of salt in them blew right through the houses, and later, when the trees by. the river blossomed, and bore masses of golden down,a warm sweet : , musky frag- rance was waifted to their very doors, It overlaid the reek; of the cattle yards, the fumes of rank spirits and tobacco that came from the shanties.'. ` And in the long glimmering twilights when, the light faded slowly from the plains and wall of the hills changed from purple to'blue and misty grey, they Were `caught u into the mysterious darkness of the night• --those per- fumes " of the light -wood and wattle trees in blossom—and rested like a benediction in the air. From their shabby whitewashed, wattle -rand -dab hat en the:outskirts of ford had the town the Schoolmaster and Deir- PRINCE REVIEWS 60,000 SCOUTS''' An interesting picture; of the Prince of`Whles in ,the role of a Boy Scout leader, He is being decorated with the order of the Silver Wolf on the oc- eas+ion ef hie inspection of 60,000 British' Boy Scouts in London.

The plains spread in vivid, undulating green be- fore the cottage to the distant line of the hills, end the grass was full of wild fiowers', a manner of tiny, shy, and starry, blue, and white, and yellow flowers. Deirdre had watched Davey bring cattle down from the hills across the i plains. She had'seen him riding off runaways. Once a heifer had broken and careered" over' the plains before the cottage. ' Davey had chased after her at breakneck speed, and, rising in his stirrups, had swept his stock - whip round her, letting it fall on her plushy hide with ripping cracks.} He had flogged the beast, driving her with strings of•oaths, his dog,' a black and tan fur el• in andl• snapping at her nozzle, until t he blood streamed from it, and with a mutinous bellow she turned back to the mob again. Deirdre had watched him going. home in. the evening with his father, or some of Ceramist's men, at the> heels of a mob, his eyes going straight out before, him. Ile never looked her way or seemed to see her where .she stood, at the gate of the whitewashed' cottage within a hundred yards of the river. She had'been chasing Mrs. Mary Ann's geese from the river across the green pa•ddeck that. -lay between the shanty and the Schoolmaster's house, when Davey rode •out of the township - towards her, one evening. He was driving a score or so of weedy, strag- gling calves. Deirdre stood by the roadside and waited for him, her eyes luminous- in the dusk. The wind had whipped her hair to the long tendrils it used to hang in"when they' raced each other' along the roads from school "Davey!" she called, as he came to - weeds her. There was an.appeal in her voice. But Davey stared at her as though he had•not seen her, and passed;on. "You're a rude, horrible boy! ` And I hate you,: hate you, hate you!" she cried passionately after him.. When they- met again it was near impotent against that bitter, blithe wit aaad the laughter it raised. He laughed too—IVIcNab, He was wise, as cunning as a dingo. Though his eyes were baleful, and his hands shook as he poured the raw spirits from his bottle into a mug 'beside him, he laughed. "It's a mad game y're on with Me- Nab," Salt Watson, one of the oldest of ; the Wirz'eeford men, said to the Schoolmaster one evening; on his way home. "Give it up, Dan! It's good enough to make the boys: laugh, but you've only to look at Thad's face when he smiles to know what he is promising +himself _ of it all." The Schoolmaster had watched Mc- Nib's face when he smiled. He had learnt •all he wanted to. He know what Sala meant. 1 For awhile he dropped out of the circle round n Thad's bar. When he made one of it, his.laughter was, less frequent, andhen' c missed. M Nab when Lv e his lightly flung- arrows of wit wl istl- ed< in the assembly. His spirits had" suffered• a depression. Some of the men thought the trouble with his eyes was on his mind. He' avoided en- counters with MeNab, though none of them had any idea he was afraid of Thad. His one. eye was more than a match for Thad's two any day, they knew. There was no open quarrel between them: The Schoolmaster's duelling with McNab had never been morethan a laughing matter, a pricking, rapier fashion, in the -intervals of card - playing and drinks,. It had• an air of good fellowship. His humor had a quality of amiability, though nobody was deceived bywit, least, of all Thad himself. ' There was' always contempt and an underlying bitterness in it. (To be continued.)

C16 SHOULD ,S E CANADA i t;._. ,L Ua'dior the above title, The Oen:alien - 1tInerafa.etuser, in ilia A.uguat issue, contains an 'erbic10 which is of par- t•ieuIar interest to every Canadian business nsao, The Easterner who has not seen the West'and the West- erner who has not seen the East arowozilein; under a.serere ihendicap, That the Montreal business men are keetly aware of this fact is indicated in the recent tour of the Montreal Brontrd of Trade to the West, who had, as their guests, a number of British intlustrial risen, members of 'Parlla- meat •.nd finaneiei•s: Kriowledige in power, and •the'soundest knowledge ie, that which is obtained. direetly by one- selif on. the ground, heard with one's own ears land` seen with one's own o,5'es, It is an extraordinary thing -- nevertheless a fact -that there are In' the East ,generally many prominent business men who, year after year, do business With the West, yetwho have never personally visited it. They make frequent trips to Europe and to. the United. States,,!bnitewh;en it,.&sines• to personally visiting the 'Western section of their country, they "•pass: it up" in favor' of some other ^ trip. The United States slogan "See America First" might well be adapted to ."See Canada First" by these business men who ,can, if they will, see more of their own country. The article referred to is as follows:— If you would build up a national business, you .should know Canada;. you %should .understand the difference in the viewpoints of the Wes terner, from that of the man in Ontario, the man in Quebec and the man in the Maritime Provinces. To understand men one 'should be familiar with the 'conditions under which they do business. To do this, one must visit the city or town where they do business and get close enough to see in what ways conditions are different in one locality from another. We all know that the needs of a customer in a manufacturing city like Windsor are very different to the needs e of a prairie city like Saskatoon. toad. But to thoroughly understand, 'end to be in position to answer any demand in these places, the business man should visit these places and study each one in relation to the product he manufactures. For instance, ho'w many business nien in Canada know what towns ere affected by delight in a certain district in the West? How many know what towns would he "affected by a great increase in demand for Canadian paper and pulp? One -cannot know his market toe intilnatel;=; and, as every one in bras" ness in Canada knows, the distances here are great indeed and the divers- ity 'of interests enibail • serious study to ibe,fully understood.
