'The Venus, of course! I, too, was

"Yon?" i" he stammered.
`Yes. 11 was all rather stupil1, was
it not? Always excepting Ecarlatel"
He Was silent His mouth was
white, and itis gray eyes looked cold
and impenetrable.
Bye arose and crossed to the phono-
graph. She slipped in a record, sdbdt
in motion and returned to lean over
the hack of ger chair, looking at her
husband with grave, clerk eyes, while
the tender strains aC lticarlate's dance
rose and felt,
"What are you doing that for?" he
demanded fiercely.
"Tack," she said in a voice suddenly,
weary, "let us be Crank with each oth-
er. You want your freedom; Ain I
right?"
"You are dead wrongl" he retorted
doggedly.
'But Heerieto?" ger voice dropped
to a whisper.
"We n-111 not talk of her."
"And those that came before Ear- '

music made a background for her pas-
sionate words. "i have overlooked, I
have forgiven, and now it i5 Bearlate.
You love her, You dare not deny itt"
Again he was silent. Ile looked at
her, noting, with a shock of surprise,
that there were silver threads in Eve's
dark hair and lines about her mouth
and ' eyes—lines that he bad graven
there. live was only twenty-five, and
he was killing her youth.
Soddenly she drew a long breath.
"What is it about these women that
attracts you? What charm do they,
possess that is not mine?"
Stili he did not answer.
She swayed a little and turned awry,
" Ecarlate is herel I am sending hep
to youl"
"Ilcarlate here? You are mad;" lip
exclaimed. But the gentle closing of
the door sent him quivering to a chair.
The music played steadily on—that
eternal btitterfiy dance. He began to
hate it What was i1Jcarlate doing
here -in his house? It was like a!
jealous woman to take revenge, but he
had believed Eve above such trickery.

The repetition of her name, the N.!

chantment fell upon him. Ete watched
the door for her appearance. What'
would she look like? Beautiful,. oft

He jamped up when the door slowly,
opened to admit Dcarlate's scarlet clad
form. She was alone.
The door closed and left ger Ieanin"g

Bear Ye' 9P
�� One Another's Burdens”---
r'fis an oldsaying—sometimesa hard one—but worthy of all acceptation.
Talce a present-day illustration. British Columbia --out there under the setting sun—is helping Co bear
O ntarie's.burdens. She has sent to the front—that shell torn front in France—a' larger proportion of her manhood
than has Ontario.
Therefore it comes to pass that we in Ontario are bring asked to help in bearingBritish Columbia's burdens
by helping. its soldiers' families. It's a fair, a just, request. We all are in the same boat. We must bear one another's
burdens. And if one Province, not rich in money, makes heavy calls on the Patriotic Fund, the richer Provinces must
help out their poorer neighbor. Under a plan of each Province caring only for its own,' the Province sending no men
wbuld spend no .money. It would neither Fight nor Pay.
Ontario will need about six million dollars in 1917 for the families of its own soldiers, The Canadian Patriotic
Fund is asking for
or th L sun) as a minimum below which the richest Province c in Dominion w3
11
not go.
But,
as a
matter of fact, the
FundhopesOntario
op will do still better—will bear another's burdens by helping out gallant British
Colombia.
How stands the Western Province? It will require, in 1917, two million dollars for the fahnities of its boys at,the
front. That is one-third of Ontario's requirements. But Ontario has probably more than seven times the population.
British Columbia asks no favors. With only about 330,000 people—not rich in this world's. goods, but rich in pluck
and good red blood ---it is undertaking to raise One Million Dollars for the Canadian Patriotic Fund! That cquale
$2.86 per head. Ontario, if it raise silt million; will be giving about $2.38 per head.
But the Western Province will still be short One Million Dollars. Where is this sum to come from? Eastern
Canada. And Ontario, if it wishes to help, can do so only to the extent to which its gifts to the Fund exceed Si*
Million Dollars.
A lot of money, isn't it? Yet less than British Columbia is giving, if measured on a per capita basis; and fah
less if measured by ability to pay. There
will
be no difficulty in securingthe Six Millions tf three courses are followed:ed:
Three1. I1 all County Councils make reasonably large grants to the national Fund.
2. If all towns, whether separated from their counties or not, will undertake campaigns for
CoursesY P
voluntary subscriptions.
If
3. ll citizens, tizens, in town or country, contribute fairly according to their means.
As to No. 1. The County Councils are beginning well. Simcoe has decided to largely increase its grant. Foe
1917 it will be theenerous sum of:S7:2®OOO. Victoria, tc '•ianother other county patriotic to the pore, has doubled its
grant, jumping it from $2,54)4) a month in 19,145 to d,$r5,004) in 1917. The majority of the County Councils wilt
decide at the January sessions how large their grants will be. Public opinion will have great influence on the Councils.
Every county ratepayer, sympathetic towards the Fund, should write or speak to his representative on the Council;
endorsing a liberal grant. The small tax: of three mills on the dollar raises a sum that constitutes a handsome con,
tribution.
As to No. 2. Many towns ignore the duty of holding campaigns. This applies particularly to towns which pay
a county tax. Yet this tax never represents a fair or just contribution to the Fund from men of moderate or large
means. Practically it is based en what the poorer men can afford. The richer should give much more, and they can
be reached only through a popular campaign, To relieve anxiety these campaigns should be -held in January or
February. Will not patriotic men and women in every town take up this duty? They can get all information as to
organization and methods by writing to the Canadian Patriotic Fund, Ottawa. And the Fund will assist them also
with a campaign of advertising.
As to No. 3. Patriotism of the individual is the basis of the Fund. Everything is built on it. If he will not
make some sacrifice for the sake of the mothers, wives and children of the men at the front, the Fund suffers, and they
suffer with it. The average family on the Fund requires $200 a year from it. Itis the duty—it should be considere
the Privjlege—of every Canadian stay-at-home to ask himself: For how many weeks; at $4 a week, must I, in self-
respect and in gratitude, take care of one of these families? If my county taxation for this purpose means that 1 em
taking care of only 000 family for one week when I could do more, am I doing the right thing?

TO OUR READERS
it is a very:well-known fact that paper, ink, type, indeed
everything which goes into the nlake'up of a newspaper, has
go,le up very materially in price during the last two years.
So serious has become the situation that nearly all the
daily papers have raised the price of subscription and many
of the local weeklies also have found it necessary to raise
the price of a year's subscription from One Dollar to One
Dollar and Fifty Cents. The publisher of The News -Record
is desirous of leaving the subscription price at the old figure,
but in order to make such a line of action possible it will be
necessary for our subscriber's to show their loyalty to the
paper by bringing or sending in their subscriptions promptly.
All arrears must be paid, and every subscription should read
one year in advance by the end of 1916. This ssould give
'rho News -Record confidence as showing that its many readers
appreciate our eftorts to supply a live, newsy weekly paper at
the old price,
