She had five sitters and four brothers, so it was a t'dy sized bunch; but when Jack Toms fell off his Horse :2nd died of it, his child: ens, that were net al- ready out to work, had quickly to set about it. Because, with such a 'arn- ily, Jack never had fnueh Chane to put by •a perry, though he male good money as huntsman to the Dart Vale Harriers for twenty seasons. But: J I Young Tom helped his father, and Four Ways being a freehold, be meant to follow in his parent's footsteps. I He was held a bit self-righteous for such a young man; but nobody ever found fault against hint, and them as admired his father and mother doubt- ed not that with years and experi- ence, he'd glow so large minded as them. He was a fair, freckled man, very obetinate in opinion and a terror to the evil doers; but his sister, Susan 'had a gentler sort of mind and more charity. They -a-as all Primitive Bap- tists and the only thing as ever made them doubt about Joanira was that she belonged to the Churth of Eng- land. However, ever, they hoped that witn time and example she'd join their persua- :'rton, and very like she night have, ter the sake of pleasing them, for she took to thein from the first, and prais- ed the kindliiees of Mrs, Turtle and vvas proud of the friendship of Susan. For the girls were rear of an age and the fernier's daughter found Joanna just such a one as she could care about. Jconsha was quiek minded and cleveree than Susan, and ie. a month the girls were grown to 'be great friends; and though, in a manner of speaking Mrs. Turtle felt her daughter was taking more to Joanna than might be seem- ly between the future wife of a Bap- tist =auger and a maid of all work, yet she couldn't say anything, for she liked Joanna a lot herself and admired her geed sense and her steady work and the way she looked at life. Mrs. Turtle was put about a little, how- ever, because when sho found the girl sueh a proper beauty, she had fears. In her experience them right down amazing pretty girls be trouble- ome, because the men won't leave em alone, and spoil 'em and turn thea head, and give 'em wrong ideas. But Farrier Turtle didn't worry, be- ause he said it weren't fair to doom young creature for a beautiful fare, ad he'd know a properly lovely crea- ure turn out very well more'n once, "She's no gigset wench" he said. 'She's self-respecting, so far as I ca.n ee, and though she's got a bit up her leave and hid from the elder genera - ion, as all young thing, have, I e>uldn't call her sly or up to no nee. And as for Tom, if you're hinking him, he haven't got no use or the females yet. He's too busy. fact, he's a bit down on woman so far as I can see, and I've never nown hien to say much in favor of em." "Tis them that think they stand, e surest to fall, however," argued Mrs. Turtle, "and if she was 'the glad ye' sort I'd send her going for fu- ture peace; but she ain't; I grant that. Susan likes her and tells me Katt she don't seem particular inter - steal in the males. She's head an offer or two, but turned 'em down." "Then you've no call to fret," he answered; and Mrs. Turtle, who thought well of her husband's judg- ient, ceased to trouble about Joanna's good looks. For she worked as well a the plainest. Things went on very easy for a ood bit and Jeanne was content arid, appy, as her mother soon found. She iked the plaza and the people, and iter spirits rose presently, for the most laving young creature can't nonrn a goad father forever. But ih ere it was; tae cit her went enure too clam to the well and ie his mid- dle age ---e bit over forty ---he •came a bad purser, and two of his rib; pierced the pool mane longs and he languish- gd ar 1 7amaai till April and thou vtent home, ?nest of his children were ear:rng their living by then. ,arc the. younger ones, and Joanna by right:: diel ought to have been out to wort., for oho was eighteen; but she was ewe,. Jack's pet, and he contrived to have his will and kept her at home. I think it was be- cause she was so pretty and favored him. For a handsomer man than her fether never crossed a hoss—clean cut, clean shaved, clean limbed, and clean every way, with dark curly hair, gray quick eyes, and a gracious way. with him that won all hearts, high and low. In fact, the folks at his funeral surprised even his wife, and it was no small consolation to Mary Tom, to see who was there, and the proper flower thew of beaatiful hot- house stuff the quality sent. But a man who showed good sport for twee- ty peers deserved such a funeral, and also the brave tom?e one the Hunt put up over his grave. Joanna favored her father—a,a howerly maid with a gentle temper' like him, and much in suis pattern— modest and quiet and seemingly not alive to her good looks. She faced c her first great sorrow pretty hrave, a but the world was a mighty different a place for her when Jack died, and t she weren't sorry to leave hone. anti' get away from a place haunted by her ' father, There was one bright thing in her a life, however, for she was tokened to t a sailor boy ane loved him very dear,. v\• but that was a secret, and Joanna• gen had promised hint faithfully net to t tell about it till he came back home f again and could make a home for her. In The Toms family lived at the lodge' gates of Hahne Chase, and when k •Farmer Turtle's lady offered to take,' Joanna, to be maid of all work ati Four Ways, near Buckland, Mary, b Toms was glad, because the Turtles' were godly, prosperous people and' e well thought on; and it also meant that Joanna would always get home And fora bit on her day out. I tl Sn she went—both glad and sorry— e and about five months after fell out this very tragical tale.

MAGQR, SON & CO,, Limited Montreal Toronto Canadian r4gan!t. The Emendate of Success. How very often we look at the sue- eme fel lousiness girl awl try to analyse the reason for her promi- nent':, She may net be particularly attractive or intelligent and seems to ns just an ordinary girl who has, somehow or other, gained heights we envy. With a good position she is I continually being offered other good uncia -business men seem to seek her to appreciate her and want her fo their own office. And we wonde why l It is because that particular busi- ness girl has certain assets which help her to be efficient and become necessary to the office where she is employed. When we become neces- sary we are of some account, man or woman, and the girl who possesses gnalitiee that make her so is indeed fortunate. But the other less fortu- nate girls need not simply stand by and regret their own inferior posi- tions; they can study her and acquire 'those same qualities which are such valuable business assets. Patience is a moat valuable asset because it helps all others, The girl who can have patience in trying hours and keep a cool, clear head even when unjustly accused will always come out, on top. So be patient and keep the temper well under control. t That little god is the best of friends to cultivate, for 's nth it a girl can "carry on" when the task seems im- possible and the future dark, and usually, if one does keep on, success conies. The house which has as its motto, "Keeping everlastingly at it brings success" is wise and knows the truth of those words, for no good thing ever comes without discourage- ment and struggle to make it worth while, Take a look about at the men and women who enjoy high positions and one of their assets is keenness—that gift of quick perceptibility) They may seem quiet and unobserving, but just watch them and you will soon learn that they miss little—that they have trained minds which are quick to grasp new thoughts and to see all sides of business. Much that you may think trifling they will pick up and hold, and it is just this keenness which enables them to aot quickly, to think straight and to give valuable judgments when asked. Try it your- self. It will surprise you how this i gift will develop and upon just what definite signs and indications you can usually depend. There are times when great issues fall into the hands which least expect it and you, the business girl, may some time find yourself in a tight place where your keenness will decide whether thou- I sands of dollars are saved or lost. Suaely the girl who possesses leeen- ness will be appreciated at such a time, Are you congenial—do you make it a point to say and do the things t which keep the office running smooth- T ly or do you antagonize by your man- b net and your remarks? The girl whose gift along this line is well de- veloped knows how to meet the grouchy man and send him away sat- isfied --to comfort and encourage the c office boy or the discouraged clerk, c and her pleasing personality helps to f impress the desired customer whose patronage is sought. To be of cosmopolitan tastes and a good mixer assures the congenial girl a faithful following among her office workers. All people do not pos- sess this latter gift, but it, too, may be developed, and it does not mean utter depreciation of self, either, for one may mix well with other per- sonalities and yet not lose one's own. And because good health makes all these other assets possible the girl should concentrate upon its perfec- tion.

Uses of Castor Oil. We are accustomed to think of castor oil as a disagreeable medicine This, however, is the least important of its uses, commercially speaking. One of the largest employments found for it is in the making of transpar- ent soaps. It also yields an acid utilized in the leaking of candles, and another acid which is an important ingredient of varnishes suitable for polishing furnituro and carriage bodies. Castor oil is also used in the mak- ing of certain waterproof prepara- tions. It is an essential component in some artificial robbers, and in cer- tain kinds of celluloid. From it is obtained the so-called "turkey red" MAKE OWN RUGS WITt1 OLD RAGS Making hooped, or drawn -in, rugs is fascinating work, easy to learn, gimp y pilling loops of rag or yarn through a burlap pattern with a rug hook, which parts were carefully trimmed Off, the `you can actually learn to do In a few i minutes, and with a little Draeflce you edges hemmed and ran with elasitit, can make your cast-off clot hin . undver- made m0 a palir of Water -prop$ slip- 'wear, and Blankets into beautiful rage, over cuffs which have proved indis- been Thi makings k patternss not a fad, t wle have aonti uously inoe112 for those rugs pensable in my h0nse Work.

OF THE PROVINCE Locating of Natural Deposits, Will Form a Branch of the Bureau's Work. The province of Saskatchewan has, instituted a Bureau of Industries which has for its object the develop - leek of known resources within the province rattier than the exploration of unknown ones, and the consequent creation of now industries for Sitskat• cl n n t\an, The pritettcnblllty of every Industry which might appear possible' of development in the province be. cause of the presence of raw material or other favorable conditions, will be, investigated by the bureau, As far as possible facts thus brought out wilt be made available to any Interested in taking up the development. The Government will also undertake the advertising in the interests of indus- tries created to induce the people of Saskatchewan to give every support to, home development. Clay Products and Lumbering. Tile first industry of which a survey will bo made is the elay industry, Geological surveys indicate that the' province has some of the moat vain• able clay deposits in the world and 0lie ]las also the mw material condi- tlea% for the manufacture of clay pro- ducts. Heavy importation of manu- factured brick has been necessary for provincial building frons Manitoba and rllbmita as well as heavy quantities frau the United States Planta in op- eration cannot supply the demand and it is hoped and confidently expected that the industry can be developed to not only supply home needs bit en- gage •in export. It is believed that the bureau can improve the lumber industry in the province. In 1919, there were 13 mills operating with an output of 76,000,000 board feet valued at $2,122,000. Na advantage for instance, has been taken of the immense possibilities of 1 pulp manufacture in the province, a question of primo importance in vies of the universal shot tage of newsprint Coal Mining and Briquetting. coal alining baa possibilities el greater development notwithstanding there are 51 coal nines in the pro- vince producing 200,000 tons per year. The Dominion Government, In con- junction with the Provincial Govern- ments of Manitoba and Saskatchewan, has erected a plant at Estevan, Sas- katchewan, for the briquetting of pro- vincial lignite, which is now in op, oration. A professor in London, England, has invented a furnace for burning lignite, and the Cauadian agents aro prepared to erect boilers and plant for any municipality or responsible firm and to guarantee the efli.elenoy and defer Payment until the municipality or firm is satisfied that the guarantee of effi- ciency is complied with. In this con- nection an interesting thing is the large resources of the province's lig- nite fields, The Bureau of Industries ill interest itself in this development. In the north part of the province, ace the earliest times, reports have sen made by policemen, far traders, udson's Bay men, and others of coal t Lao la Ronge, about 15 miles north f Prince Albert, The geological sur- ey also mentions this.
