But lir, Tenderten looked at him with vindictive' eyes, ugly eyes. "Talk business and T'll go," he said, "Take the high band with me, and I'll make you suffer!

It would have given Mr. Tendorteu an immense amount of pleasure to 111.00 been able tohave snapped hie fingers at this eu100034iml: but. as it happened, be was in particular need of money. Just recently he had dropped a good deal over a 0pec0- latlon from which Mr. Pleydell had hap- pily extricated Lady Ellen in time; and altogether things were not so rosy with Mtn as they bad been. The more he pursued the line he had laid down for 1lfmsel0 in life the more he realized that he must bare. MOUey, not a little money, but a fortune; for by money alone could he unlock the door to n. real time al position The abrupt- terminatiei of his friend- s111p with Lady Ellen was a bitter pill for Tenderten towallow, mare bitter still when he realized what pace it was that Julian Bryant had in the sentiment and esteem of this charming woman. There- fore, he was fully determined that Bryant should male up to him in a material sense what he had lost in other ways; and here at last he had some satisfaction, for it was pretty evident that the other man had no desire that Lady Ellen should be informed of how matters stood with him jtiet at present. The mere fact that he was Invited to discuss business inntead of being kicked out assured him that the game was to a certain extent in his Mande. When a cheque had been written and he had folded it up and put it in hie note- case, be looked at Julian with a curious expression in his eyes.

There was a curious little suggestion of bitterness in hie voice, 'which troubled his aunt; but his mother Came fluttering into the room just at that moment, and there was no more time for private con- versation, Mrs. Gresham, however, pondered a good deal on the marked change in her nephew and came at last to the conclusion that it wee very evident that come new influ- ence bad been at work in Desmond'e life to bring about this very great change. Sbe felt shrewdly that his mother had hit the right nail on the head, and she her- self neaauciated the singer in whom' she had been so interested with this matter. She was afraid the boy had been very un- happy and against herself ehe could not help feeling :n little hard towards Enid Sinclair; ae a matter of fact, Airs. Gre- sham had her own small grievance where Enid was concerned. She had shown the girl such great kindness. and had let Enid realize how really sincere her friend- ehip was, and 10001d have been, and the girl's silence not only hurt but mystified her just a little. She had 'been ir-esistibly attracted to files Sinclair, not only by the girl's pret- tinees, but by her manner, and 'by the evidence of a rather unusual and cer- tainly very sweet nature, Moro than once the rector bad spoken about this girt, and bad asked if she bad news of Enid, lira. Gresham felt that be, like herself, considered it a little strange that Enid should not have sent at least a few words, The more she pondered the matter, the more Mrs. Gresham wondered what the story was that had been written between. her nephew and this girl. Enid bad been frank in a settee; "ellen she hod run away that hot morning so early she had let M. Cireeham under- stand that she 'wanted to avoid meeting lir. Hammond again before she went. Was it she who had made Deaonond un- happy? Where was she? There oamo ko Mrs. Gresham suddenly en fnctfnre that her nephew knew some - my wife—now or at any time. Mr. Tenderten only laughed, gave a nod of his bead and turned away; but, when be was outside the room descending the stairs to the otreet, he said to himself -- "I think I shall have to matte it my bur-inees to find Mrs. Bryant." •w • + • e Early in the year Mrs. Gresham always oamo up to London to stay with her Me- ter, Mrs. Hammond. -It was an old-eotablished custom that tbey should do the January sales together.

Do you know, Kate, I've always had a sort a0 suspicion that there must have been a little love affair 'whilst he was on tour. You saw two of the girls, didn't you? What were they like?"

I think he hos done wisely. He Olao a charming voice, but he would never have achieved great things as a singer, you know." Tothis, however, the mother would not listen. She had her own views about hor boy's voice, and considered than he would starve had the whole world at his feet in very short time if he had only continued on the concert platform.

Screenings from the terminal elevators at Fort William and Port Arthur are composed of shrunken and. broken kernels of wheat, oats, barley and flax with a varying pro- portion of different kinds of weed seeds. An eighth oufice of screen- ings which bad been ground as chop- ped feed was found to contain 233 noxious and 484 other weed seeds. But when the smaller weed seeds have been removed it is not difficult to destroy by grinding the vitality of nearly all those remaining. The smaller weed seeds, comprising from 20 to 40 per cent of the whole, are not completely ground by ordin- ary mills and some of them are be- lieved to be decidedly unwholesome. When graded to remove these small- er harmful seeds and the balance finely ground, screenings make a cheap and nutritious stock feed. Weed Seeds in Feed. Bran, shorts and chop feeds are sometimes contaminated by ground screenings which are mixed with them in some of the flour mills. Of 396 samples collected throughout Canada in 1913 by the Inland Rev- enue Department 140 contained an average of 57 noxious weed seeds per pound, and only 144 of the samples were entirely free from vit- al weed seeds. One sample of chop- ped feed contained 1104 noxious weed seeds per pound, Bulletin No. 254 of the Inland Revenue Depart- ment gives the names and addresses of the manufacturers and the quali- ty of their mill feeds.

The Most Unpretentious Big Mil- lionaire in Canada, • Sir Herbert S. Holt of Montreal, recently honored with et knight- hood, is said to be the most modest and retiring of Canada's million- aires. He is one of the biggest power and transportation men in the Dominion, but he doesn'tgo in for social or club life of any kind and is personally known to very few people. Sir Herbert Holt came to Can- ada in 1875 as a nineteen -year-old immigrant from Ireland. He had been given a training in mathemat- ics and engineering at Trinity Col- lege, Dublin. and he was given a job by James Ross, of Montreal, on the Victoria Railway, a crude little lumbering line, extending north from Lindsay into the forests of Haliburton. Young Holt made him- self very useful, and when Ross moved to Toronto as superintendent of the Credit Valley Railway, later absorbed by the C,P.R„ he brought Holt with him. The young engineer had a good deal to do with the con- struction of its various extensions. In 1883 James Ross moved again— going to the West as superintendent of construction on the prairie divi- sion of the C.P.R.—and again he took young Holt with him. Power His Monument. About the same time William Mackenzie and D. D. Mann went West. Holt soon saw that there was more money in the contracting busi- Total 1,577,323 $130,874 There is good reason to believe that a part of the turnip seed coin- ing to Cantada from the United Kingdom had been grown under contract on the continent. The prospective scarcity of labor and the need for food production leaves open to speculation the proportion of seed supplies available from Europe for use in Canada in 1916. Sow the Best Variety. The 1913 investigation into the condition of seed grain and fax ac- tually being used on Canadian farms 'showed that the variety name of 34 per oen*. of the 2065 samples taken was not known by the Sir 11. S. Holt. nese than in working on salary as an engineer, and hespent seven years in that business, being all the time more or less in touch with Mackenzie, Mann and ]loss. Re- turning to Montreal, he directed his energies to getting control of that 'city's power and light facilities. He first bought out the old Montreal gas company. Then he acquired the Royal Electric Company, and by degrees buying out competing com- panies or crushing them, he evolved the present Montreal Light, Heat, and Power Company. with its seven- teen million dollar capital and 'ts almost absolute monopoly in the city and district of Montreal. Montreal Power is the monument H. S. Holt has reared to his prow- ess as a financier. He knows all about that company and its equip- ment. He is the company's own re- sident engineer, and has traveled all over the world improving his knowledge of electrical engineering problems. He is also a bank president, be- ing head of the Royal Bank. By the way he has the unique distinction of having been president of two banks, for he was the first presi- dent of the ill-fated Sovereign Bank, and held that office for three years. Sir Herbert is a director of the O.P.R. and is a liberal invest- or in stocks of any kind that have a basis of industrialism: He is one of the biggest of Montreal's finan- cial magnates—one of the inner cir- cle, Personally lie is also a big man. He is rather better than six feet in height, and his frame is powerful and well knit—that of a man who lived his early life out- doors and was very much at home there. There is nothing of the mixer about this new Montreal knight, He spendf most of his time between his house on Stanley Street and his of. fice in the Power Building on Craig Street. Usually he makes a trip across the Atlantic once a year,, but the rest of the time he lives quietly at home. He doesn't care for clubs and has few intimateh.

They Were Stragglers Who Had In- dulged In Too Much Wine. One of the few war subjects `which has not been exaggerated is the really amazing friendship which has sprung up between the soldiers of the allied armies. 'If you consider that they cannot understand a word of each other's language, you might imagine that real intimacy were no more than a dream. Such is not the case. Mr. Atkins and M, Plou-Piou have become actual and real friends, and to see them strolling along in liberty hours, arm in arm and talking volubly, is a liberal education in the possibilities of human nature, writes O. M. Hueffer. One incident which the writer per- sonally witnessed "somewhere near the front," as the war correspondents say, and which speaks volumes for the friendship of the allied private sol- diers must be prefaced by the state- ment that some 40 per cent, of the British troops at present at the front are total abstainers. I happened to be walking across the market place of the little town wlth a staff officer of the British- Just in our way were, I sup- pose, a couple of hundred French pri- vates. As we came up • to them they fell away before us in a manner alto- gether incomprehensible, backing to- ward the nearest wall, keeping their faces always towards us, and saluting continually with a surprising enthusi- asm. -I asked the colonel what he sup- posed it meant, Ile replied, with raised eyebrows, that it was altogether incomprehensible. Three minutes later, having left the colonel at the door of his headquart- ers,•I discovered the key of the mys- tery. Three British stragglers, who had lost their battalions and were look- ing for them had wandered into the town. They had come far, and on the' way the peasantry, who by this time• positively adore "les Anglishes," had offered them the wine which was red. Their French comrades, recognizing their condition, had flocked together to protect them from any possible punish - Ment at the hands of the British offi- cers—whence the' manoeuvring in the market -place. The pains which those French sol- diers took subsequently to insure the spfety of their charges 'was a lesson in humanity. After long consultation they decided that the village church was the best place of sanctuary, and accordingly they led them there, pro- cured largo trusses of straw, and left them to sleep off their "fatigue," as one of the Frenchmen put R. Two of the culprits proved perfectly amenable and went quietly to sleep. The third, of more heroic mold, n0 sooner found himself abandoned, than he arose swiftly to his feet, left the church, and wandered again through the market- place, hinting by signs to the passers- by that he was still athirst. His watchful French protectors rose to the occasion, led him again to the sanctuary, and again put him to bed. Two minutes later he was out again, recommencing his tour of the market- place. I do not think 0 am exaggerat- ing if I say that this performance was gone through ten times, with unvary- ing patience on the part of the French- men, before the infantryman -errant was at last permitted to go to sleep. Even then guardian angels in red breeches waited outside another quar- ter of an hour to make sure that he should. not change his mind. The writer could instance a hundred cases within his own personal knew - ledge where the instincts of our com- mon humanity have triumphed over the red bestiality of war, from an ac- tual set-to at fisticuffs between a Ba- varian and one of the West Surreys in the space between the trenches, with both armies as enthusiastic spectators, to a case of which I was told by an eye -witness, when an Englishman and a German both sacrificed their lives unavailingly, as it proved, to save that of a French peasant boy who had somehow wandered into the very mid- dle of the light.

The disease affects cattle pr'ineip' ally, but all cloven-foo't'enanimals are susceptible, so that swine, sheep and goats are someti1nee atrioken with the disease. Human beings sometimes contract the in- fection by drinking milk from in- fected anneals, or from handling animals having the disease. Foot and mouth disease• is re- markable for the swiftness with which it spreads. The disease is spread Iby contact, and any •object that has been contaminated with the discharges from the sick ani - male may convey the -infection to healthy animals, The .germs of the diseases may he carried on the shoes or clothing, by vehicles, on the hoofs of animals, by dogs, cats or birds. ' The disease Is not necessarily fa- tal, although a small percentage of. .affected animals may die. One at- tack of the disease doe's not confer permatndnt immunity. An animal may have the disease t+wo or three times. Affected animals usually re-' cover without any treatment. The most ,prominent symptoms' are a high fever, loss of appetite, and the formation of vesicles (blis- ter's) in the mouth, on the tongue - and lips, and sometimes on the ud- der. Similar eruptions take place between .the toes, at the coronary band, and cause extreme lameness. Animals with marked foot lesions• often lie down, and refuse to get up, on account of the pain of stand- ing. Affected animals frequently stand with -the head down, and with streams of saliva flowing from the corners of the mouth. Marked dis- turbances of the digestive organs are often observed. The United States has demon- strated its ability to eradicate the disease. In general the plan is to slaughter all infected and exposed animals, bury thecal in deep• trenches and cover the carcasses with quicklime. Infected premises are thoroughly disinfected and quarantined. No live stock can be brought to the premises for four months. Public highways in infect- ed territory are closed to traffic. Persons are not allowed to visit or leave infected farms. Feed and bed- ding exposed to the infection are burned. Owners- of slaughtered animals are reimbursed on the ba- sis of utility value, appraisement being made by a practical stock- man and an official of the Federal Bureau of animal industry. One half is paid by the Federal govern- ment and one half by the state in- terested. Farm 'Notes. Set oat fruit trees where they will add to the beauty of the grounds.

Electricity and Health. Substituting electric power for steam in factories directly affects the health Of the community, for it does away with smoke. For example, since electric motors began to be used in the industries of 111e borough of Bury, in England, not only have the twenty - tour chimneys forrnerly needed for steam Power gone out of use, but, ow ing to the convenient supply of electric power, twenty-seven other chimneys that otherwise would have been erect- ed have not been put up. The large chimney at the power station replaces altogether fifty-one smaller chimneys in other parts of the town Further- more, the fuel for the power station goes directly from the freight ears into the coal bunkers. Were the fifty-one chimneys still in use, more than two hundred tons of foul world have to be carried each week fm' considerable distances through the streets; the oleo trio power 'supply, that is, free the roads of much heavy traffic. Finally, the fuel consumed at the power ata• Lion is burned in a scientific way, s0 as to produce the minimum amount of smoke, Probably that could not be said of the superseded furnaces, I' Turkey Passing Away.
