The barkeeper and the Mexi- cans watched him drink in silence.

"It's twelve,years since you brought me here, and you can't put the out this way, with the girt you—" "One word more,. you old fool, and you'll be sorry you opened your mouth," snapped the other. "Twelve years? Yes, it's twelve years, and the ranch has gone to rack and rub You haven't begun to pay off the principal, and now you're a ,year be- hind with the interest. I'm tired of you, Hooker. You're just a drunken pest, giving a bad name to the dis- trict. Hooker, you're through," Both men had risen to their feet. Old Hooker, blind with rage, swayed across the table. "So, that's. what you think, Loner- gan, is it?" he sneered. "Well, it may be that you're wrong," Dave noticed that'in spite of the •old man's condition his accents were those oh a man of education.

The hot weather load induced many to seek relief at the lakeside and in the cool waters of Lake Huron. Orville Kahle, 18 -year- old son ,of Mr. and Mrs. R. Khalo, of Mitchell, got beyond his depth and being unable to swim',was- seen to be in difficulty. Fred Glass, an accomp- lished swimmer from, Kitchener, now of Statford, went to the rescue and succeeded 'in bringing young Kahle to shore. The latter was unconscious, but was aeon brought around by anti - £idol respiration. Dr. Reid, of . Lon- don, and Chief of Police George West- lake; of Grand Bend, assisted. The lake was oalm at the time. A second rescue was made about two hours later, when Miss Beatrice Doear, of Stratford, aged 16, got into difficulties. Her companion',' Walter' Pintas, of Stratford, went t o her aid but was unable to get the girl to safety. Victor Cas-yn, of Ti11- sonburg, rendered assistance, and suc- ceeded in dragging Miss Doerr to shallow water,—Exeter A�l�vocate.
