She met the glance whieh wondered what good a dead watch was with one which thought it very childish. in a soot to ignore the time of day. Hiram would never have done it. The romance of a timeless dry did not strike her at that moment. But either her alarm emphasized the gloom or night was falling rapidly. 8722 "I'll help," she said, and stooped to tug at a sharp stone. It hurt her hands cruelly, Her pink and white r. utha Bance By ETHEL CIIAPMAN HARING. "Ugh" she shivered. For the first beside you.

He pointed to the more or less flat heap of stones he had piled. "Put your feet on that raised rock in front, and try to remember its relative position to the seat, And while it's light look around and take a mental picture of the cave. I'll possibly be able to get enough loose stones for another seat III. "All right." With a little gasp Ruth stooped at the only point high enough to admit her, and entered the cavern. "091, but it's cold:" she shivered, and the tones of her light voice echoed, Hastings laughed and steadied her toward the turn of the vault. The sound rumbled uproariously. "Great echo. what? But of course it's cool --cool as custard. Why shouldn't it be, with ice all around and ice water below? But we won't be here a minute. I just want you to see this fly. Careful—take that small- er stone. That ice cake is flat enough —0,K." and the two stood at the turn of the passage whieh was com- pletely filled by their bodies. The vault beyond was like a little chapel. "Everybody here but the minister, eh?" queried Hastings jocosely with a little pressure of her hand; and he hummed "Here Cetus the Bride." It was really romantic. But belting them a ecrap of ice fell from the glacier's mouth and rattled audibly on the stones above the rush of the water. Ruth jumped nervously. "I don't think we ought to sing or shout in here. Avalanches are some- times started by a mere whisper, you know. Those big cakes back there probably fell by their on -n weight." She wiped from her face the drops which had fallen from the roof of ;the grotto. "But they are at the entrance. They couldn't possibly do us any harm un- less we happened to be going out." "Perhaps not" She looked doubt- fully at the ice cakes grouped at the cave entrance. All the same it seemed —well, almost irreverent to shout in e cave. It was like singing in a thunderstorm when the lightning might strike any minute. But the dragonfly was astoniebing. He was perfectly preserved, and suspended as 3n air in the translucent ceiling. "Poor thing!" said the girl, looking np and touching with her finger the ace to test how deeply the insect was imbedded. '"1 suppose he lighted on the glacier years and years ago on some hot afternoon like this, and got numbed and made a dust hole and sank .in," A spatter of ice water struck her nose. time she looked directly at Hastings. In the blue light his bronzed face had a weird, unearthly appearance. She must he a fright. The knowledge in- creased her conviction that they had been there long enough. "Let's go new." They picked their way toward the entrance. In the middle of the vault the man threw up his chin and gave a parting halloo. The cave seemed full to bursting with the sound. And, somehow, when it should have ceased it continued in an ominous splitting noise. Before their eyes a huge slab of ice detached itself from tete glacier and fell in the only path of exit from the cave. The room darkened some- what, Even the man turned serious. "Stay here!" he ordered, and for the first time Ruth heard from him the tone of the dominant male. He strode forward regardless now of the shal- low water and examined carefully the space bounded by the bed of the gla- cier and its edge. It was the largest remaining exit, but it would not pos- sibly permit a human body to pass. He began to creep about the cavern, peering between the margin of the ice and the rock below, and sounding the spaces with his walloing stick. Ruth waited in petrified silence until he had made the circuit. Then "How are we going to get out?" she asked. "Well," he said shortly, "we aren't going to get out—at once. My plan would be to wait until our friends re- turn to the hotel. They knew we were coining here, and when we don't turn up for dinner they will hunt us up." "But dinner isn't until seven, and they'll spend at least an hour at it, because there's nothing to do but eat and play cards alter dark, and after that .it will take an hour to get here, and then they'll have to go back for pickaxes and things to pick us out." "That's so," the man acknowledged. "Well, we'll have to do the best we can to keep dry and warm until we see whether we're going to be rescued,"' and he added: "As long as there is any light the ice will let a good deal of it through." He stooped and began to collect loose stones from the floor of the cave and put • them in a spot near an opening where droppings from the glacier were least frequent. can sit, too. You understand there can't be any nonsense about this. We've got so much warmth between us and we can't afford to waste a bit, If we can't keep warm sitting side by side, I'll have to hold you" If :be had been giving John the jani- tor directions for fuel -saving the pro- position could not have sounded less sentimental. Ruth nodded. Still she resolved to endure as long as possible in the side-by-side arrangement. And she wished he'd hurry. The occasional gusts of outside air, which when one was in the open, seemed so keen at this hour, were balmy in contrast to \the deadly cold within, 13u the hole was small, and the frigid breath of the cavern was all about her. And her shoes were a'etwith glacier water, and her hat and ewcater from the droppings of the icy walls.

But it oecurre,l to the girl that a man Of .more 501150 world net have got into a position which re- quired so much muscle to get out of. She had never seen Hiram in a situa- tion to wlticlt he was not perfectly adequate, With a few ndjusting smashes of a fiat rock on the second stone pile, the man at hast sat down. He sat down very close to her, and he put his arm firmly around her. Ruth submitted so rigidly that he was annoyed. I'd like you to know," he said crisply, "that I'in enjoying this just exactly as much as you are, I won't, be nasty enough to say I'm enjoying it less. But I happen to be engaged to a wonder of a little girl down in Toronto. Now put your head right down on my shoulder and relax." Ruth's gentle blue eyes came es near to blazing as was physically pos- sible, but in the dimness the effect was rather wasted. "I am sorry Toronto is s0 far away," she said. There was a pause. Despite the comparative warmth on Eastings' side Ruth was wretchedly, achingly cold. And she was indignant. This man had not been gentleman enough to offer one word of regret for his silly act whieh might krill them both. A sudden thought made her raise her head. "It would be disgusting to be found frozen like this." (To be continued in next issue.) Minard's Liniment Relieves Colds, Eta Pre -School Training.

To illustrate how Froebel's philos- ophy helps the mother to train her child, let us consider first the pat -a - cake play. You smile and say, "Why, all mothers play pat -a -cake with their babies; that .is nothing new.” Yee, mothers have played pat -a -cake for ages and ages, but if they want to know why they play it, let them turn to Froebel, who points out that the reason the little games is se widely known is because "Simple mother wit never fails to link the initial activities of the child with the every -day life about him." He also says, "The bread or, better still, the little cake which the child likes so well, he receives from his mother; the mother in turn receives it from the baker. So fair so good. We have found two links in the great chain of life and service. Let us beware, however, of making the child feel that these links com- plete the chain. The baker can bake no cake if the miller grinds no meal; the miller can grind no meal if the farmer brings him no grain; the farm- er can bring no grain if his field yields no crop; the field can yield no crop if the forces of nature fail to work to- gether to produce it; the forces of nature could not conspire together were it not for the all -wise and bene- ficent Power who incites them to their predetermined ends."

It does not matter a copper to me whether a man is a successful poli- tician or a world-wide artist. All I want to know Is, how does he treat his wife and his clerks, or his em- ployer? Is he mean or generous? Can I trust him? Is he courteous? When he dies shall we say, "He was very successful, and he left half a million,' or shall wo say instinctively, "What a good chap he was!"

Prof. J. C. McLennan, 'University of Toronto, recently addressed the Chemical Society of Great Britain on "Helium, its Production and Bees." In the autumn of 1916 the Board of Invention and Research requested Prof. McLennan to undertake a survey of the helium resources of Canada and of the Empire and to investigate their production. In Ontario, Prof. McLennan found the percentage of helium in natural gas to increase from 0.15 to 0.33 of one per cent. as he went further west. He estimated the whole available sup- ply at 2,000,000 cubic feet per year. In the BOW Island gas-iieid in southern .Alberta the percentage is 0.36 and the possible annual supply over 1,000,000 cubic feet. Following the erection of a small experimental plant at Hamilton, Ont., in 1917, new works were established at Calgary, Alta., in 1918, in the Build- ings of the Western Canada Natural Gas Co. A run of three days produced in the second stage, 700 cubit: feet of helium of 90 per cent. purity. The purity was finally raised to 97 per cent., 99 per cont, being attainable. Prof McLennan states that a plant could be established at Calgary which would ytelsi 10,600,000 cubic feet of helium of a purity of 07 per cent. per year at a cost of $760,000, and the gratitude each owes to cull, Carrot Cutlets—One cup thick, that we have played this little game white sauce, three teaspoon's flour toy from ancient times, 0110 'cup of milk, one cup ground or I start to play pat -a -cake with my chopped cooked carrots.
