Distress in others made him infinite,-
ly miserable. Gaunt pielted up the yel-
loW slip of paper which -had flattered
to the ground and read what was writ-
ten on it.
"Don't expect' Ietters....:Have nothing
to write about just aihw. Both- quite
well.—Alice."
That was all. • . •
Gaunt'i'lnevas drew together in a
OnszledfrOwn, and he put on bis horn -
rimmed spectaeles to make sure there
was nothing he had Missed.,
"Let me see," whispered Hugo.
Gaunt handed him the telegram.
"Well—what's the matter? She isn't
even ill. What's the matter with you,
Jean?" Ilugo demanded.
Jean raised her head slowly, Gaunt
was shocked by her expression. Life
seemed to hs.ve gone out of her. She
looked like a dead woman.
"Give it to me, please," she said.
Hugo gave it te her, and she tucked
it into the front of he blouse. Then
she got up and went into the villa.
Hugo plucked at Hector Gaunt's
coat -sleeve.
"1 -lector, why is she behaving like
that? Ought we to do ariything? Will
you go in to see what's the matter with
her, or shall I?"
Gaunt shook his head. "No, leave
Ler alone,'" he said gruffly. He began
to fill his pipe and made quite a busi-
ness of lighting it. Ilugo-avatched him
anxiously and supplied a second match
when the first did not suffice.
"Hector, what was there' about that
telegram to make Jean so unhappy?"
he persisted.
"I don't know," Gaunt replied.
"Was it because Alice didn't send
• her love?"
"I don't know."
"Come to think of it—she might

was trying bard to work it out
for himself, "She might have found
time foe a little letter --even if she
hadn't anything to write about. Jean
is so fond of her, Alice ought to have
remembered that. She ought to have
thought how Jean would be anxious to
hear dram her, Don't you think so,
Hector?"
Hector nodded, and puffed hard at
hisenipe. He, too, was vastly per-
.
'Where are they staying?" Hugo
asked. ,
"Who—Ardeyno and ;Alice?"
"Of course. •Who did you think I
Meant?"
"At the Schweizerhof, Ardeyne
said."
"Then I shall write and tell Alice
what think of her," Hugo announced
firmly. "She's an ungrateful daugh-
ter."
Gaunt threw him a dark look.
"Please don't forget that she doesn't
even know you're supposed to be her
father," he said.
Hugo's expression was subtly stub-
born. He favored his friend with one
of those sly sidewise glanees of his
-which told so little, yet conveyed an
expression of infinite -wisdom.
"I shall sign it `Uncle John,' of
course," he said. "Nevertheless that
doesn't alter my right to tell her what
I think of her. Even in these days a
father has a few rights."
"Some dayit may be necessary for
all of. us to „face fade," he went on.
"All of xis, 1 say—including Alice and
her hnsband, That telegram, -for 10-

Hugo shifted uneasily. The same
idea had °warred to him—that is to
say, that Ardeyne, had told Alice. He
dida't want Jean to know how he had
been fooling her about Ardeyne all this
time; In his own troubled mind that
was the complete solution of Alice's
strange silence, followed by that cold
and baffling telegrazn.
"I wish you wouldn't keep on saying
that I'm supposed to be Alice's fath-
er," he said, peevishly. "I'm not
ashamed of her—although I can quite
well understand Jean's attitude as re-
gards me. Some people might thiak
that I really had,been insane, but if I
chose to speak the truth about myself
I could soon put all that right. I
pleaded 'Not guilty,' and I wasn't

forward a plea of insanity, as well.
They took lot on themselves, I can

he knows just how mad 1 was—".
"1 don't care a hang about any of
that," Gaunt interrupted angrily. "The
fact xeineies—"
"Dinner's ready," said Joan from
the doorway.
Her fare was still ghastly white, but
she was quite composed and her voice
even sounded cheerful. Hugo rose with
alacrity.
"Dinner's ready," he repeated, al-
though the information seemed super-
fluous.
Gaunt also rose. For the second
time in the course of their long friend-
ship Rego &male had -beaten him.
The first occasion, of course, was
when he followed Jean in her flight
to London end persuaded her to marry
him. Gaunt had no more than realized
the face that she had flown when the
news of her marriage to Hugo reached
him.
As things were, it seemed impossible
to continue the discussion just now.
It was a Most uncomfortable meal.
Jean was lively and chatty, overflow-
ing with high spirits. She talked of
wanting a change. The Villa Charmil
was getting tiresome; Bordighera was
much too hot—not an ideal summer re-
sert by any means. They would move
on, Hugo and she.
Hugo clapped his hands ansi ably
seconded her suggestions. Gaunt wes
very gloomy. He couldn't bear the
thought of his loneliness, nor the
thought of John wandering about hav-
ing- the care of that litt:e madman with
no one to help her in case she needed it,
"Don't go away," he said, addees-
ing Jean. "Cowie and stay with me
at the farm, as I asked you to before."

It was settled by Hugo and Gaunt
between them, but •Jean's consent did
not prove difficult to obtain. In spite
of the ghosts which haunted the gar-
den, she was drawn to the dear old
place.
In less than a week they had ex-
changed their very modest quarters
for the more spacious domain of the
Villa Tatina.
It was like coming home after
twenty long years of lonely wandering.

The Impulse and the Voice.
Not many months ago a lady asked
to see a famous London preacher after
one of the services in his Church. Ile
at once resolved her and was este/119h-
ed Mien slie said, "Doctor, t have
come all the way from Paris to have
this interview! My husband has been
out of employment for more than two
yeats, although he is an exceptionally
welaqualiiied teacher. At last, think-
ing -we might find a position in leranee,
we wet to Paris. ' Our search was
still unavailing. But the other day 1
was seized with a strange impulse ,to
return fo England and to tome to your
church, It was as if a voice had kept
Saying to me by day and by. night, 'Go
to Dr. —and tell him.' I may say,
doctor, that all any life I have been
ttalned to pray, and through all qur
misfortune I have consistently putsoar
troubles before the Lord. Consequent-
ly I felt I didnot dare to disobey the
impulse and the voice. So -here I am."
"Well, madam," said the doctor,
deeply Interested, "I do neteenite see
what I can do to help. Perhaps the
best thing I can do is to give your
husband a letter of introduction to the
high commissioner el one of the
coloniel."
He did so, and then the incident
passed from Ins mind.•
Some weeks later he received a let-
ter from the high commissioner on an-
other matter, but there was a post-
script that read, "By the way, the
man you sent to me the other day ar-
rived just as I was showing out of my
office our minister for education, who
is over here seeking a stat of special-
ly qualified teachers, Your marl proved
perfectly suited for the work required
and is leaving England immediately."
Scarcely had the minister finished
reading when the lady and' her hus-
band were shown tato his vestry. They
bad eome to pay their farewell re-
spects and to thank him.
"I was right, you see:" cried the
lady gayly. "I Was right to obey 'thb
impulse and-tho veleel"

neither read nor write h.e lost hie job.
Then he got work driving a wagon and

Pretty soon he bought the wagon

The total volume of Canadian trade
transacted by these Sive ports in the
past fiscal year amounted to 5690,648,-
168, or .approximately 35 per tent. of
Canada's total trade for that year.
Montreal is easily" Canada's first port
with a total trade in the past year
amounting to 5380,984,136, of which
imports accounted for 5191,867,086 and
exports 5189,116,050. Vancouver is
the second port, in importance, hav-
ing had a total trade of $152,407,534,
of which 563,808,630 was impoat valtie
and 598,598,904 that of export. St.
John ranks third with a total trade
value of 577,662,806, 520,022,689 being
Import and 556,940,116 export trade.
Total value of trade at Halifax was
547,521,132, being made up of $17,051,-
617 representing imports and 530,469,-
515 exports. The total trade handled
at Quebec had a value of 532,172,561,
of which e10,240,993 was import and
515,031,568 export.
The great Inoreaso in the train° car-
ried on' by Canadian ports may be
realized in a comparison with the
figures of the year 1014. In this On -
year period the total trade of these
five ports has increased by some 50
per cent. Itis gratifying to note that
this increment has been to the great.
est extent bulit up by increasing ex-
port trade, the increment in -this ease
in, the period amounting to 116 per
cent. This is very clearly illustrated
in the case of Quebec and Vancouver,
Quebec, which formerly was doing a
vastly greater import than export
trade, has now drastichlly reversed
the it ti In' 1914 the oxports
from the Port Of Vancouver were .less
than half the value of imports; in the
past year Vancouver's export trade
had nearly double the value of the en -
port.
Take Places as World Porta.
That the trade of these ports -la Ira
creasing at the present time at a re.
marIcable rate, , whilst naturally sug-
gested in trade figures, is borne oat by
tile value of business handled at these
porta in the past few yeane Taking
the years 1922, 1923 and 1924, Mont-
real's imports have been 5167,813,273,
5173,988,311, and 5191,867,086, and ex -
Porta 5168,518,544, 517,898,637, and
$189,116,050 respectively. Substan-
tial increases in import and export
trade are recorded in the cases of
Quebec, Halifax, and St. John. The
annual increments in the case of Van-
couver are outstanding, imports hi the
three years being 548,235,845, 546,965,-
214, and 553,808,630, and exports 542,-
