"Not at present. What i; the use, since your stepmother has forbidden me the house?" "Has she?" cried Lilith. He looked at he rwith an air of reflection. "Yes," he said slowly. "It was not said that I must see her ft hun- dred times before J—asked her a certain question. She replied ir the negative, and gave me to understand that I was not to hold any further communication with you." Lilich's fare flushed crimson. "She never told me," she said. "Oh, what shall we do?" Hc could not help smiling at her naivete. "Do, my darling?" he answered, and she let the endearing term ernes with surprising unconcern, consider- ing that she had forbidden h:m to propose to her till they had met a hundred times. "When the time comes the must defy' Mrs. Mauslield, Till then we must circumvent her. .Yes, certainly I shall conte to Bord- ighera--and es certainly I shall find some means of seeing you. But you will have to be brave—you will have to hold your own." Had an impartial listener been there, it would have amused him to hear Haddis counselling Lilith to pursue the line of conduct he thought so reprehensible in his own sister. But there was no one 'chute to )tear and only one to see. Jack glanced from time to time from his break- fast to the pair, and smiled a little grimly to himself. But he wou]d net spoil spor'c. It was not until the guard came into the buffet announc- ing nnounceing that all passengers were to take their places that he pushed back his chair and approached them. "I think, Miss Mansfield, yon bad better go back 'co your carriage. I suppose you have not paid for your breakfast?" "I have paid for Miss Mansfield's breakfast," interposed Haddis; and Jack laughed and said no snore.. When the girl entered the sleep- ing compartment she found her step- mother awake again.

She was white with agitation when they finally stepped out on the plat- form at Turin. "I am afraid you are terribly tired, my dan]ing," said her stepmother. Ilut even while she looked at her rather anxiously the colour sudden- ly flooded the girl's face, and before she could even asic herself what this might mean some one beside her said easily— !

And though she could not see hint or speak to him, there was comfort in the thought that he was in the train. She carefully studied the little time -table she had abstracted from he. step- mother's bag, and counted all the stations they would pass before they reached Alessio. Jack watched her with some amusement, unconscious of what interest Alassio hold for him too, At length they reached Albenga, the last station. before Alassio. Ten minutes after leaving Albenga 'they ran into a tunnel. Mrs. Mansfield laid down the book she was reading, and for the twent- ieth time, tcgmptained of the fre• gummy of are tunnels.

No. 1e, 1row•elc and Grey, when they decided Last January to hold an Old Boys' Re- union on July 4th. The occasion of ''his decision was 'the presence of Wm. Doig on January 3rd at the on - ening of school when it was expected that as many of his old time pupil, of years ago as possible would be present. The weather was so In- clement that few were able to attend. Then it was that someone suggested an Old Boys' Reunion and definite arrangements were soon carried out which culminated so succeszfullr in one of 'the best organized and well managed Old Boys' Reimens ever held in any community. 1'verythint� was provided for and the program was carried through without a hiten. The committee of management was composed of Messrs, George Robert- son, George McDonald, William Grainger, Mrs. Jno. Brown, Miss Sperling, along with their splendid associate members, and are to be congratulated on the success of this most happy and enjoyable event in the life of the community. At two p.m. a parade was formed it a neighboring farmhouse end headed by the Mount Forest Kittie Band, marched to 'the school grounds which were beautifully decorated. Revs. Pritchard and. Williams acted as judges of the costumes and an- nounced the following winners: best dressed, N. Doig, Jean McDonald. M. Doig, D. Brown, R. Me•Lennon; best comic, Harvey and Everett Sparring; old .fashioned, Verna Harris, M. Doig best ealithumpian, Alex Brown. The cos'cumes were varied and egored highly amusing, also some very in- structive, for it gave an insight of the costumes worn when grand- mothers went to school. Following the parade a softball tournament between girls' teams from Cranbrook, Bluevale, Wroxeter and Gerrie was held. Cranbrook and Bluevale played first, Cranbrook winning by a score of 7 to 4. Gerrie won front Wroxeter 15 to 7, leaving Corrie and Cranbrook for the play- off. After a closely contested game Gerrie won by a score of 13-12. Tho line-up for the teams were: Gorrie—M. Baker.

While the younger generation were enjny- ing themselves in games the older members were listening to a splendid program at 'che school, consisting of readings, violin selections, and speeches by old residents. William Doig, the chairman, was the teacher 50 years ago last Janpary and is still hale and hearty. He is at pre- sent engaged in the pursuit of law in Port Huron, but spends his summers with his family at the old homestead at Kippen, Huron County. He has a family plot in the cemetery at the school and expects some of his old time pupils to lay him away there a- mong his own familiar friends in the course of time. Tom Ball, of Harristoct ,in giving the history of the school, made a happy speech, He gave the names of teachers from its earliest days. many familiar names being recalled. A- mong them of fifty •years ago and on down were E. Snell, Wm, Doig, George McIntosh, 3. J. Denman, Geo. Fowler and John Griffith. • Dr. Fowler, of Teeswatlr spoke of Canada's place in the Empire and eaelx commmtity'tt worth as a unit in our great land. 3. W. Sangster, of • Listowel, spoke of tate sterling worth of the early pioneers and the far- reaching influence of loyal and de- voted teachers on the youth of our country Dave. Savage of Listowel, was there too and gave two of his old time humorous selections to the satisfact- ion of all. Walter McCnteheon, of Hamilton, was there out of loyalty and devot- ion to the memory of his mother "Miss M. McLennan", and his grand- father, William McLairnan, whose prayers in church and prayer meet- ing gave no uncertain sound of his Presbyterian faith in God. • E. G.

The family will usually muss up only one xoom and that may need such daily care, but the regular weekly cleaning will suffice except in the rooms used most. In every room there will. be things to pick up, and put away.

A prosperous rural population which demands a community centre where may be established business, educational, relig- ious and entertainment facilities. Where these flourish and are active it is safe to surmise that the people of that section realize and appreciate the value to them of such a centre. What Maintains it ? The towns are largely maintained by the surrounding districts. But the organization, the direction, and to a great measure the up -keep. of the institutions in such towns are In the hands of the business Interests, together with those directly and ine directly connected therewith. Without the active business and professional men to supervise and govern these public institu- tion:, and undertakings no town could thrive. Wh is airily Affected? Every citizen either in or about a town should be concerned in seeing to it that they do their part in carrying on any good cause which niay be promoted, either by financial or active support. Only in this way will any town prosper and develop as It should. •4i ublicity is Required In promotion work your local paper takes the leading part. It is over the champion of worthy causes and philanthropic and patriotic eindertakings. But to function properly, and fully carry out its natural prerogatives, it must in turn have the financial support of the community it serves.
