"Great! Great!" Patrick Maguire
would exclaim, slapping his knee.
"Say, Mrs. Corcoran, won't you give
usthatagain?" And when she had
complied, he would be likely to say,
"I can't sing a note, but just to hear
tou, Mrs. Corcoran, makes me feel
here's music in my soul."
It was inevitable that, having been
finst interested in the singing, he
should next become interested in the

that this should result. When he

she was going to do nothing prema-

the shock of surprise and disappoint -
meet would not flatten out the wave
.ef sympathy. Besides, she realized
that am application for pardon could
hardly be considered until Dave had
served a term proportionate to the of-
fense which he had confessed. Per-
haps by the next spring or summer,
when he had been in prison a year and
a half, it might be safe to make the
effort. She thought that a year and
a half would not seem an inadequate
term for attempted robbery. Until
that sufficient period of penance
should expire she would abstain from
any appeals; she would devote the
Interval to strengthening her hold
upon Patrick Maguire's interest.
It had been a long time since she
had been disposed to make herself
as charming as she could. Now she
recovered much of her old pleasure

He turned to Kate for explanation;
and then, though she sat with her
head down, very demurely mending
stockings, he saw that she was quite a
different Kate from the one he knew.
"Hello!" he cried. "Why, you've
gone and put your hair up!"
Then they all laughed, as if there
were something humorous about eith-
er the remark or the discovery. Kate
laughed too as sho lifted a rosy face
and shining eyes.

frayed at cuffs and collar. In nor-
mal times the mother would have giv-

bought a new one. This year, how-
ever, she decided on new collar and
cuffs. For the cuffs she simply cast,
on thirty stitches, knitting with two -
needles knitted back and forth and
until the cuffs were as deep as were
needed for that particular sweater,
which depth, of course, she learned
by measuring on the child. The col-
lar is just as simple.
Cast on seven stitches and knit
across the back. On the third time
across cast on two more, and on the
fifth, seventh, ninth, eleventh, etc., un-
til you have twenty-two stitches.
Then knit straight back and forth un-
til the collar is of sufficient length
to start the point on the other side,
when narrow on every second time
across clown to seven stitches. The
collar is then done.
The cuffs are sewed together and
tacked onto the sleeve, the worn blue
cuff being cut away. With the new

of the consumers to find out just where

now have a golden opportunity to have
the matter dealt with once and for all

Order -in -Council, fathered by the
Department of Labor, relative to the.
appointment of municipal Fair Price
Committees.
In "some quarters it is said that Fair
Price Committees will not solve the
with food problem. present in most house-
holds. It may be pertinent to sug-
gest that municipal Fair Price Com-
mittees first should be given a chance
to show that they can find a solution
before the principle of municipal Fair
Price Committees is condemned out of
hand. It is a good rule to support
measures that seem to send in the
right direction. A similar progrem
has been effected in the U
ited-States,
The virtue of this Order -in -Council,
giving authority to municipalities to
appoint Fair Price Committees to in-
vestigate the prices consumers have
4,to pay, lies in the publicity that will
be given to the findings. Tit this -way
public opinion will be informed, and

STORY OF HUMAN ENDURANCE
Ordeal of Riveting Plates in a Glas-
gow Shipyard.
A marvellous story is told of a
:rcmelkable piece of riveting work
dant recuntly in a Port Glasgow ship-
yard It certainly furnishes a thrill-
ing example of courage and endur-
glnce. Two plates had to be renewed
and riveted onto a long iron derrick.
Imagine a steel tube sixty - feet
long and eighteen inches in diameter
at its widest, tapering to ten inches.
The new plates had to he riveted on
to this at about forty feet from the
open end where the diameter was
only thirteen inches.
Through this dark tube a man and
a boyeted to crawl for forty feet until
they reached the menet spot. The
boy, gripping a long pair of tongs
with which to catch the red hot rivets
as they were dropped through a
small aperture, had to work his way
almig feet first, as he taunt face the
"holder oil." The latter crawled after
the boy, face first, carrying his heavy
hammer.
Thane they lay, stretched at full
length, unable to turn to right or left.
The red hot rivets were dropped
through one by one, caught by the
boy with his tongs, and put in posi-
tion by him and then riveted from
the outside, while the "holder -on" in-
side sustained with his hammer the
impact of the hammer strokes from
without. '
Cho task lasted for days, and men
and boys who could endure for so
long the darkness, confinement, strain,
deafening noise of the hammers, only -
a few inches from their heads, and
the terrific vibration, are surely mas-
ters of their craft.
It has Indeed happened that the lien
tube has had to be cut through from
the outside to release a man wimose
nerve Itas given way'under the ordeal.
