But why should you, when these things cost' so little and mean so much ? Lots of people, who said they "could do without an Edison Phonograph" before they owned one, now say they "could not do without it it has brought so much pleasure into their lives., The Edison appeal is universal. To those who love good music—to those who enjoy most the old airs—to those who prefer instrumental music—to the younger set and even to the children—the Edison is a daily source of pleasure and recreation. And the prices for Edison Phonographs and Edison Records are so moderate—the variety is so great—that there can be no question as to our ability to suit you.

Florence " Braine offered Bannock a thousand Braine thereupon rushed t o seize Florence Barnes awuug Vlorsnce "Clear oat o' h re 'r show your author- ity," growled Barnes, "She goes with me, or you'll regret it," "All right. But I guess th' law won't hurt me none I'm in my rights. There's the door, Mister." "I refuse to go out aithout her !" Barnes sighed, lie was on land a man of peace, bet there was a limit to his patience. He seized Braine by the shoulders and hustled him out of the house. "Bring yon* proofs, Mister, an' flotilla' more'II be said; but tilt y' bring 'em, keep away from this cottage " And, simple minded sailor that he was, tie thought this settled the matter. That night he kept his ears open for un- usual sounds, but he merely wasted his night's rest Quite natu•ally, he reckoned that the stranger would make Ida attempt at night. Indeed, he made it in broad daylight, with Barnes not a hundred yards away, calking a dory whose seams had sprung a leak. I3raine had Florence upon the chartered yacht before the old man realized what had happened. He never saw Florence again, but one day, months later, he read all about her in a The Million Dollar Mystery newspaper Florence fought; but she was weak, and so tate conquest was easy Braine was kind enough, now that he had her •afe. Hetaleed to her, but she merely stared at the receding coast. "All right; don't talk if you don't want. Here," to one of the men, "take' bee to the cabin and keep ger there. But don't you touch her. I'll break you if yen do. Put her in her c'.bic" and guard the dole; at :east keep an eye on R. She may take t into her head cu jump overboard." Even the temporarily demented ere not without a species of cunning, Florence; had never seen Beir•ue till he appeared at the Barnes cottage. Yet revolted at the touch of hie hand; she hated him with a violence which wauld have stirred the scientific inter- est of an alienist. She wanted to hurt hem, torture hien, beat him down and trample on him. But as this was a pbysical impossibility, she did the next most agreeable thing to her die - ordered mend. On the second day out towaid New York, she found a hex of matches, and blithely set fire to her cabin, walked out into the cor- ridor and thence to the deck. When the fire was discovered it had gained too much headway to be stopped, The yacht was dootned. They put off in the boats and for a half a day drift- ed helplessly. Fate has everything mapped out like a game of chess. You move a pawn, and bang goes your bishop, or your knight. or your king; or she lets you almost win a game, and then checkmates you. But there ie one thing to be t.a J. in her favor—rail at her bow we will, she is always giving odds to the innocent. Mike Bannock was in the pilot- house looking over his charts, when the lookout in the crow's nest sang out; "Two boats adrift off the port bow, sir 1" And Bannock. who was a first class sailor, • although a rough one, shouted down the tube to the en gine room. The freighter carte to a halt in about ten minutes. The casts, ways saw teat they hal been noted and pelted gallantly at the oars. Thera are some things which science well advanced as it is, cannot. ex- plain. Among them is the shock which cute off the past and the coun- tershock which rewakens memory. They may write treetiee after treatise and expound, but they never succeed in getting beyond that dark wall of mystery. At the sound of Jim Norton's voice and at the sight of his face—for eub- coneciously she must have been think- ing of him all the while—a great blind- ing heat -wave seemed to burn across her eyes, and when the effect passed away she was herself again. A wild glance at her surroundings convinced her that both she and her lover were in danger. "Keep back," whispered Jim. "Don't recognize me." "Tray believe that I've Io, t my mind, and l'Il keep that idea in their head. S,trnetirne to -night I'll find a chance to talk to yen " Jim kept in the back ground. It doubtful if Braine would have recegq- tzed him. He was grimy with soft dust, for he had been put in the brit touiless pit as &stoker, and there w ti I three day,' growth of beard on is face.

When war broke out between Italy and Turkey, the Duchess of Aosta, who is a personal friend of Queen Alexandra, underwent a course of training at the Naples Hospital of Seems and Mary, where there is a special school for nurses. In a short ttme she was passed as proficient, and was made head nurse of the Italian Red Cross hospital ship Mem- phis.

The British Canadians have a lively sense of their privileges and duties as citizens of the. British Empire, and the large Measure of self-government which they enjoy ititonsifles rather than weakens the sentimental attachment. The first Canadian army had scarce- ly left Quebec when the Government announced its Intention of raising an- other army. An interesting feature of the Can- adian military activity is the com- plete harmony which prevent. The French and British elements, usually somewhat discordant,e, are vying in their demonstrations of patriotism. The two fatherlands are struggling for the same cause, and the old ran- cor, which has sometimes been thinly disguised, seems to be lost. The war may, in this manner, be of indirect benefit to Canada. If it makes the Canadians a deflnitely united people the sacrifices of the Canadian soldiers will not have been wholly in vain, no matter how the war .may result.—.Cl'eveland Plain Dealer. DE WET NOW IN FLIGHT His Two Sons Surrender and His Fol. lowers Much Reduced A Cape Town correspondent says that two' sons of General Christian DeWet, the rebel leader, have sur- rendered to a magistrate in Cape Town. Several of General DeWet's chief officers, together with most of his supporters to the west of the railway line, surrendered at the same tinle. It Is officially announced that Gen- eral DeWet's rapidly -dwindling rebel commando. became surrounded by loyal forces "in the vicinity of Bpallof, on the Vap.l River. General DeWet pucceeded in escaping with only 25 men. The remainder of his force sur- reudered-.

In some districts in eastern Canada. nearly everything half been chipped out .of the country, 'except dairy cows. This export trade, together with many farmers selling their calves for veal, can have but one result in Canada, namely, a greater scarcity of meat than at •present•exists, even in a nor - nal market. The meat industry in, Canada should tot be allowed ' to dwindle—rather, 'te .production of hogs, emcee and :ttle on Canadian farms should be really increased. To obtain this icrease does not mean that fanners hould devote their whole attention .o live stock. The; majority of fan mors will admit that with very little extra effort and expanse they could increase by several head the live stock on their farms without in any way interfering with their present systetu of farming. From reports to the Commission of i ionservatlon, present conditions indt- 'cane a world-wide scercity of live stock, with little likelihood of an over• crowded market for many years to come. The opportunity for Canadian farmers is therefore apparent. To take advantage of this, farmers should save their heifer calves to produce more cattle, while the others may be: turned off, not as veal but as beef. Expert stockmen advise that there are good times ahead for those rais- ing sheep. The high price of mutton and of wool and the comparative ease with which a flock of sheep may bo sustained upon land which is other- wise unsuitable for agriculture, should suggest a great increase in the num- ber of sheep raised by Canadian far - Mors. Increased production in hogs can be brought about more quickly than in any other class of live stock, and consequently should receive imme- diate attention. J Animal production on the farm is desirable because it increases tho fer- tility and crop -raising ability of the soil. Good prices are sure to be ob- tained for any surplus which farmers. will have to tell on account of the inevitable shortage of supply result- 'eg from war conditions in Europe, ISARD'S Every Day rgains "Beautiful Hair Goods Display" THE DORENWEND CO.

Dr. J. M. Spaight's "Aircraft in War," apart from its proper merle's, runs no risk of falling under this condemnation—for the simple reason that the branch of the subject with which it deals relates to the use of aircraft in war, the law of which awaits definition. Various codes, it is true, have beets drafted, the most comprehensive be- ing that presented by M. Paul Fauclt- tile at the Madrid session of the In- stitute of International Law in 1911. Te these must now be added the draft of Dr. Spaight. Such futilities as the idea that It !s possible to forbid or restrict the warlike ,; ;tee of aircraft, or, again, that "tif 'air is free," in the sense that a state has not an unqualified povereign right to exclude foreign air• craft from its air space, are effective- ly disposed of, .- One question Dr. Spaight discusses is: May an unde- fended city, containing barracks, military stores and railway stations, be bombarded from the air? Another 1s, Mu neutral civilian airmen enter a zone of warlike operations with im- munity? With regard to the first, Dr. Spaight finds nothing in international law to prevent a hostile aircraft force from dropping bombs on, say, Wellington barracks, the Pimlico clothing factory, or Euston, to say nothing of the admiralty and war office. Ho might inadvertently kill many persons and otherwise inflict grievous loss upon non-combatants. But 'tvar is war. To guard against the danger., ireat- ened by such an enemy, D'- i;paigbt suggests, first, that it might be pos- sible to frame an International con- vention declaring great mixed alp, glomerations of population immune from aerial attack even though gar- risoned and containing establishments, installations, etc., which it would 'be legitimate to bombard in naval War; secondly, that 'the barracks, stores., etc., might be removed from eucli cities and the railway stations burled underground; and that the etetip,nt}l air defences in the shape of aleergft and guns ,might be made so Atteeerfill . that no foe would venture to attempt a raid.
