"I'm glad I had a word with him," said the visitor as he returned, "I think you'll,.nd him much better. I've persuaded him that he's Henry the Seventh." I have never seen a ghost, and I have no belief in them, though I TO-- enjoy oenjoy a good ghost story. My nearest coming to a ghost experience of my own was when- I was a boy and was experimenting to see' if the saying was fooled. Yes, I was lost in. a fog on what are familiar roads in our town- ship. I actually- passes my house and the church alongside it and my neigh- bor's .dwellings and saw them not. I was driving the car and was keeping illy—"f'liicertai'tt vision fixed on where the grass skirts the gravelly road and the ,,ditch, so I would keep to the road and uYake no turn.into the ditch. Now don't charge me with being intoxicated, or anything like that, to eXplain that lostness.° I have read of an intoxicated man who returned home and tried to find the way to the back door as he came through the garden. But he. struck a circular path that encircled a tree in the garden, and he wandered round and round and round that tree hopelessly Drying, "Lost, _lost in a dense forest:" No; my lostness was actually due 'to the very thick and be- wildering fog.. - And, mind you, I' was coming . from tin evening service of a re1i Vanwei ary: -4t .'w$s .not.itaitii fi siKuted strtne -great-.-standards.. familiar red lights attached to them, belonging to a radio system , that rear themselves` a mile or two from home, that I got my bearings and was able with difficulty to turn round and crawl back to where whitened gateposts mark the entrance to my driveway and 'the welcome garage at its farther end. You don't have to go far away from home to get lost, I am now assured. My theme song this week is, "S.bow hie the way to go home!"

'S made public his decision, the cumul- ative total had reached $257,c3 7,60 froua 670,691 applications. .Since then this total has increased to a point well beyond the expectations at national headquarters when the bonds first went on ale. he bondswill continue to be avail - ab a through authorized investment de ers,,steek brokers and trust or loan companies, and through banks. "„Altllostgh, it was known that a Widespread" demand existed when the decision was taken to offer the Canada savings bond," Mr. Ilsley said, "in the new circumstances of peacetime no one could be absolutely certain of the ex- tent to which this demand' would' be translated • into action. No national objective was established, but plans were laid on a scale which would find reasonable justification in a sale of two hundred millions or better. Tak- ing into ageount returns yet to be of- ficially recorded, it is clear that per- format/lee wilt outrun -this reasonable expectation by,a considerable margin."

When it is yellow sapphire, or yellow quartz, which are, often sold commercially as topaz. The true topaz is a much rarer and finer stone. But the term topaz is often; loosely applied, for the topaz is the mot popular yellew stone in jewellery. Many people believe that all yellow stones are topazes, and that all topazes are yellow. But they're wrong. A glance into the Royal Ontario Museum shows topazes ranging from colorless through pale yellow right up to a sherry -brown. They come in pale --bine and pale green, the latter often heing sold as aquamarine. Very raft are 'the naturally red and pink topazes, blit these can be simulated by heating, in an artificial process known as "pink- ing." Topaz is a very hard stone, a fluo silicate of aluminum. It can be et very easily though, 'and takes a high polish on the buffing wheels. The rhyme goes: "Who first comes to this world below Tinder Sagittarius should know That their true gem should ever show a topaz." Just why, it's hard to say. But the topaz has . come to be the birthstone for November. • It is found in many: a list of precious stones in ,ancient whitings. In early times,. Si.

"I haven't stuffed it with anything," answered his Wifei „wide-eyed. "The chicken wasn't hollow."• • FARRISH—WERTH • LISTOWEL.--Aa pretty autumn wed- ding took place.
