FARMERS GET DIS- CHARGES IN DISTRICT 1 Special Arrangements Are Being Made for S?icchargee by Medium of the mails London, Ont., Jan, 9.-=Fartnal dis- charges for farmers who tete brought into London camp under the Military Service Act are being rushed out by district headquarters in large numbers. Nearly 2,000 men leave been on harvest , leave since August, and they have had. indefinite leave singe the signing of the armistice, They continued as soldiers subject to call, howq'ver, and some uneasiness was felt. A special arrangement has been made whereby the farmer soldiers may avoid 'the inconvenience attending for- mud discharge by sending in their eq- uipment and acepting their papers by registered mall. All medical students and.the vast majority of married men who were' anxious for immediate discharge have also been dealt with, while the local garrison is being thinned out by the operatic . of special regulations regard- ing railwaymen and workers in essen- tial occupations. It has been deemed advisable to maintain a mobile company of A2 men in the Canadian Garrison Regiment, and for this purposea number of Wes- ternOntario battalion draftees have been tranferred. These will be discharged, however, as soon as a sufilcient num- ber of volunteers are secured to take their places. Such Volunteers are be- coming available from time to time as new parties of returned soldiers reach the city, WINTER WEATHER HARD ON LITTLE ONES Our Canadian winters are extremely hard on the health of little ones. The weather is often so severe that the mother cannot take the little one out for an airing. The consequence is that baby is confined to overheated, badly ventilated rooms; takes colds and be- comes cross and peevish. Baby's Own Tablets should be given to keep the little one healthy. They regulate the stomach and bowels and prevent or cure colds. The Tablets are sold by . medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. in the letters from soldier boys we notice they often mention the kisses they get from the women and girls of France and Belgium. Judging from the number of brides the boys are bringing with them over -seas, there has been soine kissing going on in England and Seotlavd too, The Earthworm is Omnivorous.

PRESBYTERIAL SOCIETY Continued from Page 1 is fitting that we place on record out etude to God for this great ,erveu. 5„ blessing. We would joy and rejoice in that victory. We would call upon our souls and all that is within us to magnify His Holy Name that it hath pleased Minn to grant us victory which means such blessings, not only to all mankind but to generations yet un- born.. We would offer praise and thanksgiving to God for the fine spirit which has characterized our men for the courage and endurance which en- abled them to play so heroic a part and for their splendid example of ser- vice and sacrifice. We would also praise flim for the work which the women of our land have been able to do in helping to win the war. Again we would joy and rejoice that amid all the strain of this nightly conflict the Women's Missionary Society has been able not only to "Hold the Fort" but to advance in winning the world for Christ." The president Mrs. James Hamilton gave a splendid outline of the For- ward Movement in connection with lour society using a set of valuable charts for the purpose of illustration. She explained that it is not a Forward Movement only, but an upward move- ment. If we were going forward and not upward it was not a forward move- ment. Prayer was the lever, service was the basis. The higher we lift oth- ers the nearer we get to God.

That's no more nor less than Dan McCabe, a Scotland Yardman they've brought over, nobody knows hes what for, butwhatever 1115 ante game, made you play into his hand!" I didn't stay to ear more „ "McCabe e concluded, "I got out." "But haw does this Merrick know you?" Mr. Barton inquired' as the laughter caused by McCabe's recital subsided. "lie doesn't know me he only knows of me," the ratan replied. "I found that out an hour or two later, when 1 met hint in a crowd at the Welling- ton Hotel; the speaker glanced cur- iously in the direction of Harold Main- waring for an instant, and them con- tinued, "I knew him by his voice, but I spoke with him, and he had no idea who 1 was." "But how has he heard of you?" persisted Mr. Barton. "There was an American detective -- a friend of his—who carte over on the same trip with Mr. ivtainwaring. He was following up a case in London, but he managed to keep his eye on Mr. Mainwaring and kept this Merrick posted of all that he was doing. it was because of some remarks of his that 1 got wind of, that 1 determined from the first to get onto his game." "Well, Mac," said Mr. Barton, ten- tatively, "are you ready to go to work now?" The keen eyes flashed for an instant in the attorney's face, then the ratan answered quietly, "If you've nothing to tell tee, l'nt ready to go to work on my own hook and in my own way; if you've anything to say, I'll hear it." Mr. Barton glanced at the others. "We had better tell McCabe what we have learned, and also Just what our plans are." The others bowed in assent, and the chairs were drawn closer together while Mr. Barton, in low tones, told, as briefly and clearly as possible, the discovery which they had made. Mc- Cabe listened to the attorney's story, but whether or not the secret were already guessed by hien, his face gave no sign. When it was ended he glanc- ed curiously at Harold Mainwaring. "Mrs. LaGrange told you this?" "She did." "At what time, if you please, sir?" "At about half -past five." "Are you aware, sir, that, with the exception of her maid, you are pro- bably the last person who saw Mrs. LaGrange living?"' "Saw her living!" Harold Mainwar- ing • repeated; astonished, while Mr. Barton demanded, "What do you mean, Mac?" "I mean, sir," said McCabe, siowly, "that Mrs. LaGrange committed suicide at about seven o'clock this evening, less than two hours after Air. Mainwar- ing saw her." • "When did you learn of this? What , doyou know f r t' ' w o the affair?" ue Ione ff s d a a Hie attorneys quickly, while Harold Mainwaring, more deeply shocked' than he would have though possible, listen- ed to the man's reply, "1 happenedalong by the Welling, ton about two hones ago, and Saw con- siderable stir around there. I learned '(was a case of suicide, but thought nothing of it till I heard the woman's name, then 1 dropped in and picked up the facts in the case," and he proceed- ed to relate the details of the affair. As Harold Mainwaring listened, he recalled the looks and words of the wretched woman, her genuine misery, her falsehood and deceit, her piteous pleadings, and the final rage and scorn with which she had rejected his assist- ance even in the face of such despera- tion and despair; and a sickening sense of horror stole over him, rendering him almost ciplivious to the conserva- tion around him. "'Twits there I saw this man Mer- rick," McCabe was saying in conclus- ion. "1 heard hint questioning the maid about Mr. Malnwaring's interview with the woman; he evidently Was onto that. 1 saw the girl myself shortly af- terwards and gave her a hint and a bit of money to keep her mouth shut a- bout Mr. Mainwaring. She seemed pretty bright, and 1 think she will un- derstand her business," "Confound that meddlesome Yankee! what was he prowling around there for ?" interrupted Mr. Scott, angrily. "He has no business prying into Harold Scott Maiuwaring's affairs, and 1'11 have hint understated it; let him attend to his own duties, and i think, from all reports, he will have his hands more than full then. Mr. Sutherland," he continued, addressing the attorney, "there's no knowing what that beastly bungler who calls himself a detective will do next; this thing is likely to be out in the morning papers with the boy's name mixed up in it, and it must be stopped: right here. His name must be kept out of thisat anyrice and 1 t , lP you probably can reach the New York press better than any one of us." "You are right," Said Mr. Sutherland, rising hastily and preparing to leave; "our client wants no notoriety of that sort; olid 1 will make sure that noticing of the kind occurs. I have a friend Who has unlimited influence with the newspaper men, and 1 will have, him attend to the matter at once, and see to it that everything of that nature is suppressed."

"I understand perfectly, sir," said the attorney, courteously; "everything will be attended to; and , Mr. Barton, you will kindly confer with Mr. Mc- Cabe, and I will see you in the morn- ing regarding your final decision. Good -night, gentlemen.,, An hour later, McCabe took his de- parture, Of his own theories or pians he had said little more than that he was to leavethe Waldorf that night t for another part of the city, but all de- i hint in sail for communication with s c t t case of necessity had been carefully arranged, "Your 'clerk' has been suddenly called to London on important busi- ness," he said to Mr. Barton, with a quiet smile, adding, "You may meet me occasionally, but it's not likely or best that you recoginze me, and when 1 have anything to report you will hear from rate," and with these words he was gone. When at last Harold Mainwaring and his foster -father were again by them- selves, the latter, noting the younger man's abstraction, said,— "'This is naturally a great shock to you, my boy, but it is only what might be expected after such a life as hers. You have done nothing far which to censure yourself; you have done all that could be done under existing con- ditions, and more than was actually required of you; so you need have no regrets over the affair." "i understand that, sir; but the though that 1 cannot banish from my mind is, knowing so well her treachery and deceit, is it possible that site her- self had a hand in the murder, and finding at last that there was no hope of gaining my friendship, did she fear the developments which might follow from what she had told?" The elder man shook his head thoughtfully. "We cannot say, my boy; the thought occurred to me al- most instantaneously, for, without doubt, she both hated and (eared hint; but time alone will tell." CHAPTER XXIV BETWEEN THE ACTS For the ten days next ensuing the public craving for sensational develop- ments in the Malnwaring case seemed likely to be gratified to an unusual de- gree. To the exciting scenes of the court -room was added the suicide of Mrs. La Grange, immediately followed by !news of the discovery that Richard Robson, the unwilling witness in the previous day's proceedings, had abs- sconded, leaving not the slightest in- dication of even the direction in which he had vanished. By many the suicide of one and the sudden disappearance of the other, occuring simultaneosly, were considered as prima facie evid- ence that the two, so closely associated with each other, had been in some way connectbd with the Fair Oaks • tragedy. From this phase, of the affair, how- ever, public attention was speedily di- 'verted by the report that proceedings i had beeninsti- uted,to contest the old will d but in the name of Ralph Main- waring andHarold, waren rad his brother, W Mainwaring his son, the sole heir under the will of Hugh Mainwaring, having altogether withdrawn from the contest. .(Continued 'ext week,), Ringworm on Child's Head Caused Great Distress and Spread to Neck and Ears—Cure Wits Speedily Effected When Eight Treatment Was I eoom- mended.

Mrs, D. Stebbins, Grand Bend, Ont„ writes : "I am going to tell you of my experience with Or. Chase's Oint- ment, My little girl had sores come out on her head which looked like ringworms. They were spreading fast, and I tried home treatment, but nothing helped her. I took her to the doctor, and he opened some of the sores, which were as big as the yoke of an egg. The salve he gave me to put on was very severe, and the poor child would cry for an hour or more after an application. dyer six weeks it continued to spread all over her head, and came down to her neck and ears. She uuffered terribly. At test some kind ladies told me about Dr. Chase's Ointment, so I got a box, and the first time I put it on she was re- lieved of pain, and the second time the swelling was all gone. Before we had finished the first box the sores were nearly all gone.
