met older women whose sun did not

"Ile wouldn't have married me if. he

The lecture, which egas to have been
delivered that Thursday, was post-
poned a couple of months, according to
a note Ardeyne found on his desk -with
the morning's mail, the reason 'being
that the summer clinics were not suf-
ficiently well
uf-ficiently.well attended. Well, that was
a re:ief, too. The young doctor :felt
that he needed to devote a little more time to that particular ehesis, which
happened to deal with hereditary in-'
rsanity. Once or twice he had been
tempted to throw a bombshell into the
hard and fast doctrine of proclivity,
and proclaim the complete freedom of
the individual as against; the genera)
accepted slavery of atavism; He
felt that in theory, at least; freedom
was right, but could get no further

was no more •than theory.

Pain .escaped the lad's unconscious
lips. They had given him something
to make' him sleep, Ardeyne shook
his head,, How pitiful it was; how fu-
tile, he thought. Yet one must do
whatever can be done. The famous air
of Davos -had worked miracles in some
cases. If only they could get him
there alive. But even then, there was
so much against poor Max 'Egan—
most of all, his, mixed blood and his
age, and very likely his upbringing.
The lazy life .of an indulged grand-
child of a rich planter in the tropics
did not make for stamina. As far as
Ardeyne had been agile to discover,
Max's most stronuoes exercise had
been ridingabout the plantation with
his grandather. He hadn't even been
allowed to swim, for fear of the
sharks which 'infested tthat particular
part of_ the coal and made itvery
dangerous.
But he had done a rent many
things which Europeanboys of 16,

The Experimental Farm
System.
Much•, interesting .and valuable in-
formation is contained in the repoot
for 1928 of the Director' of the Domin-
ion Experimental Farms, Mr. E. S.
Archibald, B.A., : B.S.A. It tells in
concise and condensed form of the do-
ings in 1928 of the fourteen divisions
of.which the -Central Farm at Ottawa.
consists, ofthe twenty-three branch
Farms and Stations, of the half dozen
Substations in Yukon Territory, in
Northern Alberta, Northern British
Columbia, and Northern Quebec, and
of the Illustration Stations, the num-
ber, of which was increased during
1928 from 89 to 126 There were, when
the report was prepared, six Illustra-
tion Stations in Prince Edward Island,
fifteen, in Nova Scotia, seventeen in
New Brunswick, thirty-five in Quebec,
seven in Ontario, twenty in Saskat-
chewan, twelve in Alberta, and thir-
teen In British Columbia. In every
instance these Stations are established
in districts where it .;oirsidered they
will be of most assistance to farmers.
With every province having its. Farms
or Stations extending east, west, south
and to the opened -up districts of the
north, it will be seen that the Do-
minion Experimental Farm System
penetrates to ali'tlie .confines of the
country.
