What Makes a Town ?
A prosperous rural population which demands a community
centre where may be established business, educational, reiig-
sous 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.
WhatMaintains It ?
The towns are largely maintained by the surrounding districts.
But the organization, the direction, and to a great measure the
tip -keep, of the in:;ti'tutions in such towns are in the hands
of the business interests, together with those directly and in-
directly connected therewith. Without the active business and
professional men to supervise and govern these public institu-
tiorse and undertakings no town could thrive,
h is Mainly Affected?
Rvery citizen either 11 oz about a town should be concerned
in toeing to it that they do their part in enrt•ynla on any good
cause which may be promoted, eider by financial or setive
support, Only in this way will any town prosper and develop
as it should.
Publicity is Required
It: promotion work your local paper takes the leading part. •
It is even' the chaunp nn of worthy causes and philanthropic
and patriotic rade-nal-jags. s. But to function properly, and
fully carry out, tIs natural prerogatives, it must in turn have the

YEW SERIAL STORY. (All rights Reserved) w
mrhi
For a minute, -amidst the shriek••,
the darkness, and the general con-
fusion, none of the three realised
what had happened. It weal Jack
who spoke first.
"Are you hurt .either of you?" he
asked moving cautiously and trying
to ge'r up.
"I am not," answered Lilith close
to hint, and he put out his hand and
touched her.
She clutched it with the energy of
fear. Then, after a moment's hi -
terve', came Mrs. Mansfield's voice,
sharp and weak with pain—
"Keep quite still," Jack said,
"while I look for my matches, and
strike a light. Miss Mansfield, you
are quite safe now, I think. The
accident, or whatever it has been is
over. Il you will let go of my hand
I can find niy matches. and wa will
some light."
Lilith obediently released his hand,
He searched in his pocket and found
his match -box. The next second the
flicker of a match revealed that the
carriage was lying on its side. Part
of it was splintered, and Mri. Mans-
field lay with a broken seat pressing
down on her legs. The mat,:b went
out in a moment.
"Would it not be possible for you
to get this heavy thing off my legs?"
asked Mrs. Mansfield, striving 'co sup-
press all sound of suffering in her
voice and to speak cheerfully.
"If I had a candle or any means of
procuring a permanent lignt I would
try," Jack replied, "but I fear to do
you more harm than good by touch-
ing you in. the dark. There are peo-
ple already running along the line
helping. They will come to us dir-
ectly."
He struck another match and tried
to get up.
"The box is fortunately full," he
said to Lilith. "Cools you go on
striking matches so as to keep up a
continuous light while I see if I
can get Mrs. Mansfield out from,
under the seat?"
Lilith tremulously obeyed. Her
own thoughts were in confusion from
the shock, but out of their chaos one
terrible question obtruded itself —
What had 'happened to Haddis? Was
he killed?
Nevertheless she lit one match af-
ter another.
Jack's ellorts to release Mrs. Mans-
field proved unavailing, and she was
just telling him to leave her alone
when a cheery voice that sent a thrill
of joy through Lilith's heart was
heard at the window.
"Who is here? Is' any ono hurt
here?"

"0•h, Haddis!" cried Lilith. You
sure not killed?" ---curd straightway
burst into tears.
"Control yourself, my child!" said
Mrs, Mansfield gently.
But Lilith was no longer capable
of controlling herself. She dropped
the matches and, cowering in the
corner into which she heti been
thrown, wept silently.
i-Iaddis, with a lantern in hi.: hand,
peered down through the window.
"Killed!" he said. "No, I am not
killed. Nobody is killed, I hope."
Jack rapidly explained the situat-
ion.
"Can you draw Miss Mansfield
up and then send some one else clown
'co help me to get Mr,. Mansfield
out?"
"Yea, that will be best -- to get
Miss; Mansfield out first," said Had-
dis.
So Jack lifted up the weeping, girl, I
and Haddis pulled her through the
window.
"Why, my darling," he whispered,
ns for a moment his arms were a-
'
round her, "there is no need to cry
now!'
He handed her down eo some one
who stood on the ground, and it was •
some minutes before he joined her.
"We have got Mrs. Mansfield safe-
ly out," he explained, " but she has
fainted from pain."
Lilith shuddered and uttered a lit-
tle cry.
"It is only that," he added. "I
do not think she is dangerously in-
jured, but we have got her 011 a
stretcher, and Grandison is going
with it. She is the only person at
all seriously injured. We are close
to Alassio, and we must go co the
Grand Hotel. If you will come with
me I will lead you out of the. tunnel
and we shall nd carriages, they cell
me, outside to take us to the ho'cel."
He drew her arm within his own,
and then, seeing she was scarcely
able to stand, he put his arm round
her and held her closely and strongly
as she stumbled along beside him.
Amidst the flashing of lantern -t and
'the confused babble of sound's, as the
passengers made their way towards
the mouth of the tunnel, Lilith ex-
perienced at sense of peace and se-
curity. He had taken her hand in
his, and so they walked in silence.
In front of them they come] see
the lantern 'that went before the
stretcher on which Mrs. Mansfield
was born, and could see the black
outline of the stretcher and its bear-
ers, Jack was walking beside R. It
was not till the glimmer of hgla at

:Raddis spoke,
"Darling," he said, pausing it his
walk and drawing her for st moment
more closely to hint, "I shall have to
put you into a carriage at the end of
elle tunnel, and, though I shall take
you to 'the hotel, there we shall have
to part. But remember that you will
have to stay in Alassio for monat time
now, and that T shat} be there too;
and somehow it will all coma right."
Tte bowed his head in the darkness,
for there was no one with a lantern
