A crowd of people followed from the... it station to the McGee's Cottage, and waited to: see Mary McGee wheeled out into the fresh , air on it for the first time. All this added to Maggie's fame, and the tales of her goodness lost nothing in the telling. Rumor' said that she was building the McGeas a new •cottage, although Doctor Marten denied ails. All Miss Moore had done was to buy a cow for the invalid, to insist on the box bed being pulled down and burned, and to send in its place a clean iron bedstead with new mattress and blankets, The new win- dow that Jantsle McGee was putting In his cottage was at his own expense. The next rumor was that Maggie had spent all her earnings and had even parted with her fine clothes to cure Mary McGee. She was going a- bout the country, people said, dressed like any farm girl in an old skirt and a little plaid shawl, This Doctor Mar- ten could not deny. lie had stet Mag- gie in peasant dress, looklug prettier than ever, but no longer the fise lady he met the first time he Went to Tat - lack, fr.?1 , MOORE "Do ye hear her, mother?" cried Mary, "I'M to be cured!

All them things woaald take more than y'd save in a couple of years!" "1 shall go at once and send you food,'.' said. Maggie. "No, don't say one word I could weep myself ?II to think how much I have had and thought nothing of it all, when you were lying here in need of necessities. I shall not say good-bye, for you will see me to -morrow." The girl rose, and before either of her hearers could speak she had hur- ried away. She almost ran home, so eager was she to heip at .ince; and she burst in on Peggy -Jan, who rose from her chair In alarm at the sight of Maggie's excited face. "What's come on ye, wean dear? Dict the bull chase ye?" asked the old woman. "Oh, Peggy -Jane, That lovely • girl dying there! 1 can't bear its 1 sha'n't let her diel She must be cured! I -tow can I get at the doctor? I must see Into at once!" It was some time before Peggy -Jane grasped the fact that Mary McGee was not actually dying at this present - moment and that Maggie's indignation had been raised by conditions that the old woman had accepted all ineyit- able all her life. "Will ye be spending' all yer money on then McGees?" she asked cautious- ly. "Mind ye don't leave yerself wantin'!" "Oh, I have lots—far too much! cried Maggie. "Help me, Peggy -Janet How can I get to the town to see the doctor?" "We must send the herd -boy down on the mare's back, ;for the car's broke. Ye can send the 'doctor a let- ter." "Then find the boy quick!" cried Maggie. "And he must bring stores from the shop back with him and take thein up to Mrs. McGee to -night," It was not long before the news "spread that Doctor Marten had been summoned from Creavy and that Mag- gie Moore was spending all her for- tune on- a cure for Mary McGee. The Doctor himself was not behindhand in spreading the tale, He had come post-haste to Tallaek and had been re. ceived by Maggie in tate farm parlour and had been completely captivated by that impetuous, charming young we - man. He rode home after having Supper with her, for she had discover- ed that he had been out all day without food and had hurried off to her without waiting to break his fast. Peggy -Jane had cooked bacon and eggs, and Maggie had poured out his tea for him, smiling at him And talk- ing so sensibly that he listened respect- fully. Everything that science could suggest was to be done for Mary. Doctor Marten was to have the best nurse he could get from Dublin, and there was to be no question as to the expense. Maggie could afford it for once,.she assured him, but she begged him not to let anyone know where the money came from. The Doctor promised, but it would have been im- possible for him to hold his tongue. For the first time since he came to reavy—twenty years ago—be was to see a case treated properly.. He had confessed to Maggie that he had ceas- ed to visit Mary MCGee because it broke his heart to see her dying when he knew she could have' been cured with proper care, "Those cottages are perfect hives of germs," he told her, "But what can She people do?

Readjustment of Wages and Rates to React On Canada, At the annual meeting of the C,P,R Mr. E. W. Beatty, President of the Company. made the following inter- esting statement regarding the af- fairs of the Company: "The operations of the company during the year, the Annual Report for which is now eubmltred for your approval, have been conducted under conditihns which worn so exceptional as to costs, as to make It unique in the Company's history, as well as In the transportation annals of Can- ada. The shareholders are aware of the general conditlotts which so strongly influenced the results for the year in question but I doubt if a full appreciation of them Is possible save with a very Intimate knowledge of the details, the aggregate of which is so vividly reflected upon the Company's revenues. The cost of labor, materials and ft:el reached their peak during the year and ex- k traordinary added costs, such as" high exchange and taxes, aJded their quota to the expenses. "The back pay which a^erued be- fore the increased freight and pas- senger ratese became effective amounted to 'a little less then seven million dollars and the additional amountrequired to pay exchange on coal and other purchases, to four million dollars. The total, including provision for income taxes, involved additional costs of approxitnately thirteen million, five hundred thou- sand dollars which were charged to the expenses of the year: An these extraordinary and abnormal ex- penses the Company was able to absorb and pay its fixed charges and usual dividends. This result was only possible because of the excel- lent character of the Company's facilities provided by you hs previous years at large capital expense and the possession by ittof equipment used with the greatest possible efficiency, which enabled the heavy t 1 r Q,rppi9lll Ff raj" to bo r; eoied *ith 1 aelDateh *1l1 1l has rarely, I thick, been equalled. I cannot speak too highly of the loyal and effective work done by the offi- cers and men of the 'Company. with- out whose efforts such favorable re- sults could not have been secured. "While the condition of the Com- pany's property has never been per- mitted to deteriorate, - due to the provision made for its upkeep to a high standard in pre-war years, there were expenditures which had to be lscurred In 1920 which, except for the intensive use of equipment and tate ahortage of labor and materials during the War, would either not have been included in the expenses for that year ba their entirety or would agt.kr4 brad to, in i rr_•ed -i-Ar The Company's equipment' was put to a great strata from 1514 to the end of 1911, aad both freight and paaaeriger bustaeeo--including troop oat coolie movetaente—was so extensive flat the Masai shopping programme had to be reduced be- cause every wait was required fa actual service. Whets .these move- tseita ceased, repairs to equipment and renewals, of coarse, became ex- tensive'and, while I should have pre- ferred that the work could have been postponed until price conditions were. more favorable, it was necessary, unless the Company were to suffer in prestige, that the work should be gone on with as soon as possible. "About the middle of December a pronounced contraction in. business took place, resulting in diminished traffic of all descriptions. This de- pression still continues, but by rigid economies the net results for the first three months of this year are somewhat in excess of those of the corresponding period of last year notwithstanding the greatly in- creased costs of labor prevailing in 1921. "As you are aware, the parity of conditions which has existed in United States and Canada resulted In the forced adoption in Canada of what is known as the "McAdoo Award' and amendments and of the award of the United States Labor Board made in August, 1920.. In- creases in wages may have been justified at that time by tbe abnormal increase in the cost of living, but they were• Working by alter- ations in orking conditions of such a cbaracter as to impose heavy and, in the view of the companies, un- necessary, burdens on the transpor- tation agenofes of North America. The combined effect of them has been to greatly increase the cost of the operations of all companies, The conditions which rendered them necessary being rapidly 'ameliorated, it is apparent that readjustments will be essential. The effort to se - core reductions in wages and alter- ations in Worsting conditions has al- ready been commenced in the United States and is proceeding in a sane, orderly and legal manlier.
