There was some deep.raoted grievance she was still brooding over. Eseap.,? from her rather for a few week, should have made her carefree, but whatever shadow haunted her past remained with her, even on a sunny, summer morning in Beachmouth, People at the Grand Hotel were too casual and had too much of the holiday spirit to notice anything odd about a couple of girls driving 01) in a Car, clad in bathing costumes. They entered the lift and were taken up to Uhe first floor where Gloria had a suite of roods over- looking the sea. Her maid, Hor- tense, carefully concealed any sur• Prise she might have felt at the sight of a stranger. "Hot baths, please, Hortense," said Gloria- "And find some of my clothes to fist Miss Starke; then or- der breakfast for two on the bal- cony,."

Primrose looked at the exquisite face across the table, and sighed again, "I suppose you have lots of tele- phone tails from admirers," she murmured. "Tons." said Gloria with uncon- cern, "Hortense gets so ratty at having to answer the telephone," "I suppose you get lots of love - letters too," went on Primrose in a low voice. "Crowds!"

Reports covering the thousands of aquas melee of wilderness accessible by Canudiaa Pacific Railway show a plentitude of game and excellent conditions for bunting. Outfitters and guides a0rees the country also report more reservations for hunting parties, both from Canada and the united States, than they have had for years. Wild sections of Canada lying practically in tbe bank yard of civilization have a wide variety of big game in addition to many types of game birds and smaller animals. Nova Scotia hag moose, dear and bleak bear; New Bruns- wick, deer and black bear; Que- bec, moose, caribou, deer and black bear; Ontario, moose, deer and black bear; Manitoba and Sae- katchewarl, moese, deer and cari- bou; Alberta and British Colum- bia, Mona e.= sheep and goats, caribou, moose, elk (wapiti), deer, and grizzly, brown and black bear; and the Yukon Territory and Alaska, practically the same as British Columbia. An ifidication of the increased interest in hunting this year has been given by the number of ap- plications Coming to the general tourist offices in Windsor Station, Montreal, for copies of the two hunting booklets, "Open Seasons Mr Hunting" and "Melting Wa- tett and Game Haunts."
