Miss Sarah approached him on Sunday morning conning out of church. "What is this we hear, Doctor?" she asked. "They say your fine lady up at Tailack has packed up all her grand clothes and is now wasquerad- ing as a herd -girl, bare feet, 'plaid shawl, and all." The Doctor looked at her steadily, "You always do hear whatever gos ,sip is going, Miss Sarah," he said dryly. "I've not seen the bare feet. The ,last time 1 met Miss Moore she was wearing as tidy a shoe as a man might wish to see on a lady's foot. "Oh, you'll see the bare feet to- morrow, take my word for lti" de- clared Miss Sarah. "I wonder your wife Is not jealous. 1 hear your are at Tailack every clay!" "Well, for once you hear the truth," he replied. "I will let you kndtk.if I find Miss Moore to -morrow. No doubt she has got a foot she need not be ashamed to show." "What does I,irs. Marten say? " per- sisted Miss Sarah. She says less than you do, Miss Sarah, or else leshould never have mar- ried herii' said the Doctor. Miss Sarah glared at him, but he regarded her calmly and went on speaking. "Now, if you ask me what Lord Rossford says, I can tell you plenty," he said. "His lordship was at my house last night till past twelve o'- clock, and from first to last he did nothing but talk about Miss Moore," "Oh, indeed! I thought Lord Ross - ford had gone—to Dublin for a week?" snapped Miss Sarah. "He carne home last night and heard all the talk a soon as you would hear it yourself, He came down to the for the truth of the story, and 1 let him have it, By all appearances the young man would have sat up till daybreak listening to the praises of the lady of Tailack." '1 hope you Are not going to encour- age him to be silty, Doctor Marten?" said•Miss Sarah angrily. "She is just the sort of flashy girl to attract a fool- ish young man's attentionl" "Oh, she's got his attention right enough, more than she bargains, for." replied the Doctor, laughing. "We shall be having a Lady Rossford at Ross be- fore the summer's out. You mark my words, Miss SarahF' "And what will they live on, 1'd like to know?" demanded Miss Sarah, "He's as poor as a -church mousel" a." "They can live on potatoes and sweet milk," answered tire Doctor."She is not one of your women who will run him into debt paying her dressmaker's bills." '"Not is she's content with bare feet and a plaid shawls" sneered Miss Sarah.

"Some women will go any lengths to make tkeaiselves eonsplcaous these days," The Doctor eyed her with malicious satisfaetiod'befere he fired kis parting shot, 'Well, es Lord Rossford remarked when [ parted with him on my doorstep last night just as the clock was strik- ing twelve, "The ladies of Creavy and the district have not been very cone splcuous for their charity if they can do no more for their neighbors than to let a young girl come almost to her death and never do a hand's tupn to re- lieve her.

She'll run you both info debt and borrow all you have and, then clear off and leave soul" "I've lot ten five -pound notes here at this minute," declared the Doctor, slapping his breast -pocket. "They will pay all the debts I ani likely to run into. She paid them out lake a trump yesterday. But don't mention it, Miss Sarah! I gave her my word 1 would not tell any one." Doctor Marton walked off, and Miss Sarah stalked hone full of wrath and bitterness. Chapter V Maggie was congratulating herself on the wisdom that suggested her change of stress. She gave Miss Sarah Craw- ford the credit of having first put the. possibility into her mind. Parisian clothes were far from suitable at Tall- ack; their elegance jarred on her own perfect taste, that demanded as the most essential beauty of . dress that it should be appropriate to time and place. Then these simple garments were vastly becoming—the short blue serge skirt that showed her ankels, the white cotton blouse, and the red plaid shawl delighted her. She posed in front of her glass for a disgracefully long while the first time she put them on, and told herself she had never worn anything half so becoming, Peggy - Jane, though at first she had objected to the change, had been forced to ad- mit that Maggie looked handsomer than ever, but she hoped Maggie would at least wear a hat on Sundays just to show the world she possessed hats if she cared to wear them. Maggie laugh- ed and vowed she would' go to church with a shawl over her head, Continued Next Week Terrible Sufferer From Her Kidneys.

He is likely to forget that In the effort to disunite revolutinar- Ies he may divide Conservatives. For the truth is that he has the creed of a progressive and a natural sympathy with crusading democracy, But at though he has been ;12 years In parli- Ment he has developed no definite personal political programme which reveals individuality in conviction or outlook. This may be the inevitable result of subordination In cabinets and the personal devotion to Sir Rob- ert Borden for which he was distin- guished. His position in the house of commons has been that of ettief champion and apologist for pleasures of the cabinets to which he has be- longed, acquired Ipnged, Thus he ed a great reputation In debate, but kas not re- vealed, and probably his had little op- portunity to reveal, any genius far constructive statesmanship. One does not know whet will be his attitude at imperial cabinets. There is no evidence that he has thought deeply Into the problems of empire, or that his vision reaches beyond the borders of Canada. Imper- ially and Internationally he seems to be unformed, detached from other men's enthusiasm, and unaffected by their, emotions. No one, however, d.tubts his devotion to the empire, or fern, that he wit: endeavor to turn t.anaua Into rat• t that would lm- re'if the imperil relation or create friction between the Dominion and the United States.

Ile is not without the atifices of the orator, but generally seems to com- I stand judgment by sheer power of luminous and logical statement. Few among the public wren of i Canada have such felicity of language as the present prime minister posses- es. The gift of style is his, acquired by. ardent study of the masters of English literature. There is no pomp in his sentences, but at his best there is simply beauty of diction and a coma pelting simplicity and lucidity. The drudgery of political campaigning breeds looseness and raggedaess of speech, and for one who has to speak i as often as Mr. Meighen has the de- scent to slovenliness is easy and al- most irresistible. But as yet he has resisted the temptation to grow care- less, and one feels that he will always regard the form of his message as only secondary to its content. Sir Wilfried Laurier had a simple and son- orous eloquence; Sir George Foster's oratory is often easy and gracious and spacious, even though cumbered with a multiplicity of words; but Mr. Mei- ghen is- more exact and direct than either, and often reveals a felicity in the choice of words which is singular- ly impressive' and comforting to .those who love and reverence the sanctities and dignities of the English' tongue. Devotion to Empire ' If it is asked 'what are Mr, Meigh- en's convictions and passions, an an- swer is difficult. There seem to be many question on -which he has not yet found himself. He is a Protec- tionist, but he is not a Tory. At most Toryism in Canada is a tradition, His more extreme opponents declare that he is narrow and intolerant, an inten- t ectual autocrat and a champion of privilege. But this is partisan carica- ture. He has the outlook of Roose- velt and something of the temper of Wilson.

From the first the coalition j�eween Conservatives and Liberally whicit the war produced has rested upon a pre- carious foundation. 01 the Liberals of firstentered the govern- mentrw ire only Mr. Calder and Mr, Batlen- tyne remain. Mr, Attthur Sifton is dead; Mr. A. K. Maclean has rejoined the Liberal party;; Mr. Rowell is out of dffice'and may shortly resign kis seat in parliament; wkile Mr, Crerar who represented the Weslere Grain Growers, has bcome the national leader of the United Farmers. Nor has Mr. Meighen found minis- ters among the Coalitionists of such distinction and atrthority in the coun- try as Sir Robert Borden and Sir Thomas White possessed. With a cabinet weakened by defections and withdrawals his own strength is taxed to the point of danger, and his energ- ies are exhausted by details of strat- egy and problems of political recon- struction. In reply to a congratulatory message upon his elevation 10 the premiership Mr. Megan is said to have declared that he felt like the young clerk in a hook -store who was asked 'by an austere and venerable customer 11 he had the "Life of St. Paul," and who answered that he hadn't the life of a dog and meant to leave the cl— place on 'Saturday night. But, whatever the prime sinister may lack, he has indomitable courage. He is never more happy than when facing a hostile meeting or dealing with interruptions in parliament. So he is not daunted by the difficulties with which he is now beset, He wet ant admit that there Is any reason is )\ dissolve parliament s long as he can commend' amajority, The argumentument that the Coalition parliamentnt was elected only for the duration of the rwho rectal war he combat and those . that the program upon which the Coat- ;tion government appealed to the C3113. try em d many re- raceproposals' for b t nY construction after the war eitnnot fair- ly contend there was any understand- ing. that it should be 'dissolved when peace was declared, Even if the governatnt shoald las defeated in the !Text oleptien, it is certain that Mr. Meighen will con- tinue to lead the National Liberal sad Conseryative party. Erobably for many years to come he will be influential in shaping public policy in Canada. He is young, ambitious, virile and un- questionably at the mothent the nrost powerful personality in the public life of the coutnry. He may never inspire great or general popular affection, but he will hold in high degree the re- spect an d confidence of the people., Nor is he so austere as he seems, sea remote from his kind as first impres- sions suggest. In his nature there is much compassion and kindness and those who know film best love hint 'most. Whether or not he can unite Tory imperialists and Liberal autonomists, eastern manufacturers and western agrarians. Orange Conservatives and French Catholics under a common leadership is a problem still unsolv- ed, but at least he will add no chap- ter to Canadian history of which he or his country will need to be asham- ed.

In the days when timber industries were only moderately important and when the lack of accurate information con- cerning the forest resources fixed upon the`public mind a , fictitious' view as to the supposed "inexhansti- bility" of the storehouse of timber, it was. not surprising' that conserva- tion policies should have been mortiy of saatimcntal rather than praetieal value., Investigation has demurs- •crated that the forest area is very winch mere contracted Huai ,vrao•firk thought to be lbs case.

Canada would sacrifice a great taduetrial magnet and would pit beyond reach the eesential,weotl materials without which the most oritaary. business of •the country cannot be .undertaken. E Nowadays, with the enormous in- crease of piintapappe forthe a ewspaperdpi50- poses and the adaptability of .pulp to a thousand of the every -day neces- sities of mankind, the timber -covered not has s barrier to me to agriculturale oked upon, de- velopment, but as an incredibly rich asset, capable of attracting indus- trial capital and providing employ- ment for new population and .con- •tributing directly to the prosperity, of the country in which it is situated. An excellent example of how a forest area, which yesterday was a wilderness, can become in a few months the scene of a highly pros- perous industrial town, is supplied by the history of Iroquois Falls in Northern Ontario. % Only a few years ago the townsite was occupied by a few settlers and travellers. To -day, by the establishment of a pulp and paper industry, 2,500 men are given ;regular employment and the wage distribution each year is over $3,- 75 3; 760000. The term, "forest conservation" is frequently misinterpreted to indi- cate that the conservationist would place a Chinese wall about the standing timber and slow down the wheels of all wood -using industries, This, however, is the antithesis of the aim of the true conservationist. The desire is not to prevent the utilization of timber trees but to en- courage such a system of forest fire protection accompanied by such scientific methods of timberc cutting as should maintain the forest areas as a productive source for all time to come. In the past, the areas cat over were in many( caeca turned into permanent barrens.

The forest must be `anchored” as securely as the mill dam. Of the total area of Canada, about eighty per cent. is designed as a permanent forest bg`rowing estate and for that reason quite useless for agricultural development. This means of course, that over one - and -a -half million square mike can return no useful services unless it is made to grow timber.

That the for- ests have not sprung up sdccessfully in the 'wake of this devastation is indicated by the feet that nearly tweethiids of the original forest re- sources of Canada are regarded ani having been taken from us. In the. province of British Columbia, ac- cording to the Commission of Con servation, twenty-two times as much: timber has been burned as was puti to use by all the wood -using indus- tries of that province, The three; prairie provinces have been robbed' of eighty per cent. of their forest resources through unrestricted fires. and the proportion of loss in the. provinces of Ontario, Quebec, Neve Brunswick and Nova Scotia is only slightly less appalling. Were the causes of forest fire attributable to some purely accidental source, as. lightning, the record might be ac- cepted with some resignation. It is, a well demonstrated fact, however,. that ninety per cent. of all forest fires are of human origin.
