She wrote to rne the night before I started to wish me God- speed:' Something leaped in Alan Ran trine's eyes—a hunger of the heart which was like a flame in its passion! It broke up the deadly stillness of his face, banished the remoteness, brought him back, swift and surfs; to the realms of living men. "My wife! Then—then you know, Peter?" "They all know, And she and Judy are at Stair together, waiting for you, and my immediate business in life is to get you to them as quick as I can." Peter fumbled in his pocket, brought out the thin, geld -bound letter -case, and handed to his cousin the little note he had received from Carlotta at The Lees the night before he left it. • Thus and thus did Carlotta write: "Dear Peter,—It is a great thing snakes your food do you more good.

Having read these words, Alain rose to his feet, and still holding the slim sheet in his fingers, walked away. And Peter, understanding, sat still, looking after him, and the wonder of the whole story was upon his soul, like some flood that bore him away. When Alan came back his face had taken on a new look—that of a stead- fast soul whish behold:; the goal in front. "You can have it now, Alan. Later, when—when you have something that is of more account, you can let me. have it back." Rankine gravely nodded, and open- ing the bosom of his shirt, placed the folded sheet within, handling it as a man handles that which is precious to him. "Now speak, Peter. ` Tellrne every- thing, for the hunger is gnawing in my heart like a ravening wolf! Speak till you are tired, for I will never tire of listening!" Peter spoke, going back to the be- ginning -ginning of things, to the summer in which Rankine had left Scotland, giv- ing a faithful recital of all that had happened to Stair, and those so dear to his cousin. "It's an amazing tale, Peter, but the bit I don't get the hang of fully is. how they can afford to go back to Stair to live. What miracle has hap- pened in the meantime?" "No miracle, Alan," said Peter, with an odd anile. "You saw Car- lotta in New York, holding the most critical audience m the world in thrall? The woman who can do that puts money in her purse. It is your wife who has redeemed Stair!" TEETHING BABIES Thousands of Them DIE EVERY SUMMER The hot weather is very hard .on babies starting to cut their teeth.

He comes. nearer God, I suppose, or else the ,Devil gets him. When I came out of the shack just now, I was not sure but. that the Devil had me fast. You see, I've lost my pal, and what that means to a man on the Yukozi-yvell, nobody but the rnan who has been through it can understand," "But, after aid, Alan," said Peter the practical, "mountains and gold- fields and the spell of the Yukon are all very well, and I grant you their power in full, for I've felt it myself since I have been here, but you can't get away from the fact that there is a woman belonging to you at Stair, and that, at the present moment, she is neither maid, wife, nor - widow. And so right back you march with. sue—this very day, if I can take you!" It was the right note to strike, and the red rose in Rankine's cheek again. "You're right, Peter. But listen to the tale of the last two years, and the; perhaps, you will grant that. there are seasons in a man's life when to shirk his responsibilities seems not only natural, but absolutely the only thing to. do. "When I saw Carlotta in the Man- hattan Theatre that night, Peter, and realized the impassable gulf between us, something seemed to burn in my brain till I did not know who or where I was. I had only one object in front —to get clean away from New York, to put the whole breadth of the Am- erican continent -the world, if pos- siblel—between me and the woman whose life I had spoiled. I realized then—as you say that she was neith- er maid, wife, nor widow, and that the wrong I had done her was irre- parable. "I had the idea of suicide when I' got outside, but, somehow, I lacked either courage or resource—I can't tell. Anyhow, I had my -chance, for my railway tickets were in my pocket, and I boarded the train at midnight, as I had intended to do, and I woke in Toronto. I went on, but did not alight at Calgary, as I had intended, for there was one man in New York- who orkwho knew that address, and from whom it might be possible for Carlotta to obtain it.

Federal- and ederaland Provincial Governments have promised to assist. In 1920, which teas Ontario's record year = in quantity for applesnthe`crop exceeded three and a quarter million barrels. Each year since the total yield has been consider- ably less and this year itis estimated that it will be close to a Million bar- rels less than the crop of 1920.
