been harsh, even brutal, and Virginia
meant to punish him in her own way:
But he had done it because he had.
loved her father. She knew that, Her
own preferences did not matter to him
at all in the necessity that the work
of Matt Blair lifetime should be car-
Tied on; he swept them aside impat-
iently. It was a new experience for
Virginia, not altogether compliment-
ary, but not without a tingle of int -1
erest. She was coming back, not to
obey Lee Hollister's high-handed com-
ae/ids, -but to show him that he was
wrong. After that she would .i;o as
she pleased with her own property.
And she meant to be cool and dignif-
ied -with Lee. He deserved it
At Saunders, male heads turned re-
gretfully as the pretty girl left the
car, a porter, a puiiman conductor and
a young brakeman hovered, ready to
serve, 'as she descended the steps.
Lawlor was there to meet her, so was
Curly, sunburned and grinning, wait_
ing to: take her chechs and help her
pack her hand baggage into the old
car that had been good enough for
Matt while Virginia was away. She
swept a quick look up and down they'
platform. Lee Hollister, the one perste
on directly responsible for het com-
ing to take her cheeses and help her
if, indeed, he had returned yet at all.
She stepped into the car with an an-
noying sense of disapeointmene. It
is practically impossible to snub a
man trine isn't there.
Only once did Lawlor, a lank, big -
boned man with Hale eyes and a
stragglingmusiatthe; r offer• a re-
mark of any moment. They were jolt -
'ng over a -peculiarly atrocious bit of
road.
"Bad goin'," he jerked, "I hope the
millionaire that's buyin' your place
will fix up this road."
"I haven't sold yet," she replied
coldly.
"Olt, I thought you was goin' to."
A glaze seemed to.have conte over
Lawlor's pale eyes. "Well, you know
your own business, but it'll take an
awful lot of money to .'rat the Circle
V on its feet. Kind of rough work
for a lady."
She did not reply, and they rattled
and lurched on, The toot hills were
opening up before them; they dived
suddenly from prismatic brillaece:in-
to shadow, then climbed again,
through a narrow defile to a suddenly
widening sweep, into the Valley of
the Sun. Up there was the old ranch
house and, on the porch, hobbling ex-
eiteclly on rheumatic feet, a little,
wizened old man.
"I knowed ye'd cone back, Honeys
11cnowed it] There, there!" For a
proud young head that bowed for no
one had dropped suddenly against
Joey's deplorable flannel shirt, "There;!
there," Joey crooned, "It's goin' 'to+
cone all right, Honey. Joey'Il look
after ye. You'll be glad ye've come.
It's been awful lonesome without ye.'
a.
but trouble had found him unpr-epar.,
ed. The reserves had rocked under it,
and Matt had gone down.
,This was the story that came back
to Virginia again, leaving her de-
pressed and dispirited, and glad to
see Lawlor leave From the empty
veranda she looked out on the great
valley that was hers, if she chose to
keepit and fight for its bid suprem-
acy. The loneliness of the house sud-
denly became intolerable. She called
back to Ling that she was ,going to
see Joey, and Walked slowly toward
the horse corral. Five minutes later
she was heading down the valley.
There were 110 cattle in the hone
Pastures, now; but in the distance she
could see the scar of the Welberslash
that Lee had censured. It was early
summer in the Valley of the Sun. Over
there a -branch of the creek turned
and dropped from sight. She followed
it, slipping out of sight .into green
Shadows at the head of a small ravine.
Down there was Joey's claim, and in
front of the little grey cabin a con-
spicuously . tall young pian w was just
rising from the domestic task of fili-
ng a coffee pot, with water at the
creek. Already lie had seen her, and
Joey from the doorway had raised his
thin halloo.
"Here's Lee, Honey: Jos' turned up,
doggone his ornery hide. Yo're corrin'
to supper, ain't ye? Shore ye will.
Lee's brought some trout"
"Glad to see you, Virginia." Lee
held out his hand as a matter of
course and gave hers a grip that was
somehow reassuring. "Joey says you
got in on the morning train."
"Yes. I didn't expect to see you so
soon."
"I got in yesterday. Came through
by the back trail."
There was unexpected delicacy in
that. Lee had not openly gone east
and arrived back in Saunders just be-
fore she had. He had dro;':ped off at
another station, a much less Conven-
ient one, and had returned inconspic-
uously to avoid comment,
"If you don't stay to supper," Lee
won't be fit to live with for a week,
and I'd counted on bunking with hurt
for a night or two."
"Oh, are you staying with Joey?'"
She hesitated. As far back as she
could remember, the ranch house had
been Les's home, Her father .had
treated hint like a son. "'You know,
Father would always want you to
feel--"
"Thanks, but Pm afraid that
wouldn't do. T'm not a part of the
Circle V outfit now. I'll probably
camp out somewhere in the bills while
I'm 'looking around. Here we are.
Joey ,tae set his heart on an open air
supper with trout broiled on the coals
I'll make you a cedar throne and get
to work."
From the cedar throne she watched
Joey as be bustled about, in contrast
to Lee's easier notions. There was a
sense of power about Lee, a smooth-
ness of action that was swift without
the least sense of haste. The pleasant
smell of cedar smoke was in the air,
the aroma of coffee, the hissing of
troutbroiling over live coals. Virginia
felt lazy and peaceful. It seemed less
important now that Les should be
punished for the things he had said.
(Continued)
If that ornery young nuisance of
Lee Hollister hadn't come pesterin'
around again, I'll have gone plumb
out of ray 11 ad
The: moment of .abandon was brief.
She. raised her head:
"Oh, is Lee here?"
"Well, he ain't exactly here, but he
drops All 011 me now and then. One
minute talks about taldn' up a home-
stead claim and thenext minute says
he's minded to pack n mule and go of,
prospectln'. No sense a -tall. Need;
steadying', Lee does."
Joey paused in his affeetionate.
gruinbling• and shot a shrewd glance
flt her, but Virginia made no comment,
Lawlor, for the moment disregarded
had come U1i with her bags and was
evidently waiting to go m With her.
She dismissed him Carelessly; "Thanks
Lawlor. You may leave the bags here.
Ling will look after them: And I want
to see you after lunch and have you
tell me how things are going."
She left him, glowering and dis.
comfited, while she greeted Ling,
Joey followed the manager with mal-
icious glee -
"Pretty fine to have the boss brach;
ain't it?" he asked .slyly. 'Too' had
yore havin' to move out, The fore-
man of this: outfit most generally pate
up in that cabin over by the bun],
house." •
Lawlor did not answer, but the look
that he, sent hack at, Joey was little
short of venomous. •
The afternoon had been long Vir-
ginie had worsted energetically, set-
ting herself to unaccustomed tasks.
In the midst of unpacking; there had
been an interminable hour of going
over dreary details' and bewildering
accounts with 'Lawlor. ` The manager
was more' ingratiating now, but the
'nterview was not cheering. It only
showed that the Circle V, hit by the
sequence of calamities that soanetime
seem to pursue one` ran with mall -
gait zeal, was not making enough to
cover operating expenses and the int-
erest on a burden of debt. Math Blai'
had been an easy-going man, with an
open hand toward the world. He had
made money and had spent it gener-
ously, always counting On his reserves

THURS., JUNE 16, 193g. ; '
by JOHN C. IKIRKWOOD
A man holding a $7500 job is trem
bling, fearing that he is going to lose
it. He is over 50 years of age. His
position is an enviable one—of na-
tional importance. This man began
with his ,present employers over 25
years ago as office boy. By fidelity,
diligence, competency and character,
he won his way forward. His present
job is that of sales manager, but he
in these present difficult times
not proving himself to be a very good
sales manager. Time was when bus-
iness was easy to get, and it was durs
ing this time that the man of whom
I write was made sales manager of
his company. Today buyers of his
company's class of produce are hav-
ing 'their own, hard times, and they
can buy what they -want from two
other 'manufacturers -manufacturers
who have made themselves fortnid_
able competitors of the older firm.
The man of whom I write ---I'll call
him Brown—is not equal to the de-
mands of his pre-ent job. He knows
this, yet is unwilling to admit it. He
is fearing that a junior employee in his
department, will displace his. Out-
siders watching Brown feel that it
will not be very long before he will
be dropped, being succeeded by the
jun`or clerk.
I know Brown moderately well, He
is likable. He takeslbimself very ser-
iously. He regards himself as beim
ra+her important. But those who hav
dealt with him have perceived him tr
be a weakling. He lecke, the eiiorgy
the daring, the forcefulness of his as-
sistant. He has . a certain smugness—
a.contentment with things as they
are. He has not an adventurous
mind. This sort of contentment has
bred in him a degree of laziness. He
does not want to be disturbed phys-
ically or mentally. When times were
good, it may not have been necessary
for him to exert himself greatly.
Orders came along in satisfactory
volume. His subordinate salesmen did
not 1ecrnire a very large _amount of
gingering. But in these past years --
very difficult years --orders have to
be fought for, and buyers prefer to
give their business to those keenest
to have..it.
This man Brown of whom I writ.
is a typical mazer, Everywhere, always
you will find men resembling Brown,
You will find them among retailers,
among manufacturers, among farm-
ers, among bankers, among school
teachers, among lawyers, among of-
fice workers, among managing dna
esters. That is to say, you will al-
ways and everywhere find men who
are smugly content, who are toad_
venturous, who resist those who try
to rouse them to more aggressive ac-
tion, Men of this type do not grow
in strength or competency. For a
time they may be able to carry on
without their shortcomings being de-
tected. But there surely comes a time
when the inertia, the weakness, the
smugness, the lack of the spirit of
adventure, will be perceivers. The fact
is that all of us are perretuaily in
the scale's of judgment, and that if
we are short weight, our deficiency
will be seen, not alone by outsiders
or lookers on, but also by our em-
ployer's. Very surely there will come
a day when those who employ us --
and they may be. the public as well
as those who pay us our wages or
salary—will require more from us
than we are supplying, and unless we
can meet the larger demands, we are
'retty sure to be replaced,"
good ideas. It was an attitude of
'receptivity. Unlike most men, Smith
did not put up his defences.' Rather
would he sit himself down in an easy
chair and invite you to state your
proposal . His own attitude was jud-
icial-, If
udicial,.;If he liked your idea, he would
use it, He might suggest changes;
but his will was to turn your ideas
into money. Always. he was ready to
else ideas presented to him from with-
otit,'
I recall Wareham Smith's saying to
me one time, "I . have ne brains. I:
hire'' brains'. This was not true—that
Smith lacked brains; yet it was true
that his own abilities were limited.
Notwithstanding this fact, Wareham
Smith became the largest figuare in
British advertising, and held this stat-
us for many years. His very re-
markable success was due to his set
purpose or making himself larger by
the intake of his genius and zeal and
energyof others. He delegated much
of his work. He multiplied himself
by using the power of others.
As usual I am preaching a sort of
sermon- to young people in particular.
The essence of my sermon is this:
incorporate into your life the lives
of others. Let the door of your life
be oven to others seeking admission
into your life. Grow larger by tak-
ing in to your life the life of others.
It is pitiful vanity in a ratan when
to declares that he is sufficient in
himself for all his needs. Of men of
this .sort there are millions. They are
ill about. us. Indeed, you yourself
may, be one.
Those of us who take ideas to oth-
ers, for acceptance, know how un-
iversal are self-sufficient men—men
who are ready instantly, to say "no"
to any proposal which may be set be-
tore them. It is instinctive in men to
set up barriers when they are ap-
proached by outsiders, but it is not
creditable to a man's intelligence or
manner of life when he declines to
consider proposals put before him,
ostensibly or genuinely calculated to
be of advantage' to him in use. It is
a sign of weakness and fear in a man
when he shuts his ears tight against
all.nroposals and new ideas. The weak
and fearful man can't grow. Forever
he must remain small, He cannot
t.njay Iife as can. that man whose mind
and will are adventurous, and open
to everything 'able, in use, to enlarge
hint
If we want to grow mentally, cult-
urally, spiritually, we must be con-
tinually taking into our life new
thoughts, new experiences, new emo-
tions, new . stimulations. We need to
react books which will put yeast into
our minds. We need to meet new ex-
periences which will disturb us and
perhaps stretch us. We need to be
attempting new things, even difficult
things. We need contacts with then
and women 'whose views and ways are
a challenge to tis.
Vire cannot grow by being complac-
ent, or by trying to get along day
after day on past experiences,
T am thinking of a main under
whom I worked for six years. He was
the advertising director of the Harm -
swarth newspepers—a half-dozen or
more in number. He was but 31 years
of age when he was tirade director of
advertising of these papers and a
director of the company publishing
then'.
This roan had no early advantages
—unless you call it an advantage to
have to work desperately to make a
living. His father was a bus driver.
This man—Smith was his name --of
whom I write had very' little school-
ing, but he had an enormous amount
of energy. He .was small statured,
en Ads years before his 20th birthday
Smith had a variety of employments,
each of them requiring him to hustle.
Then he got a clerical position with
the Har•msworths. Within two years
he was out canvassing for advertise-
ments. In this work he was notably
successful. Then a new advertising
manager for the Daily Mail—Britain's
wonder' newspaper in those days—was
required,. and Wareham Smith was
given tate job. From the beginning
lie was eminently successful. Always
he was experimenting. Always he
was using new ideas. He was 'great_
ly resisted, even by his chief, Alfred
Harmsworth, afterwards'Lord North-
;aliffe. Yet he was ,not Haunted by
resistance. He won his way forward
by inches, rather than by jumps.
• It was my good fortune to have
close association with .Wareham
Smith,' I went to him once, to say
M him that I had not enough to do.
He said to nine that he wanted ideas
—ideas calculated to sell more adver_
ising space. I was '.able, happily, to
supply .him with good ideas, and it
was this',,ciraumstance which put and
kept nae in his .favour, . What I re-
call vividly was Wareham Smith's at-
titude `toward• men ,who. took' to hint

Womens Institute
The first meeting of the Women's
Institute for the year 1988-39 was
held in the Agricultural Board Room.
The president, Mrs. Holmes; pres-
ided, Mrs. E. Adams at the piano and
the new secretary, Mrs. M. Batkin
taking the minutes. -
The meeting opened with the sing-
ing of the "Institute Ode" followed
by the Lard's Prayer.
After the reading of the minutes
a report was received from Mrs. Tre
wartha, representing the park cane
mittee. As the park is not yet in con-
dition for the planting of flowers,
shrubs or trees, it was decided to
lease such work over to a more suit-
able opportunity,
The roil call which was "pay fees"
was very well responded to. Tho treas-
urer's retort was received and se-
-epted. The secretary read a number
of "thank you" letters, also one con-
taining an invitation from the God -
oriole branch tD visit that branch in
"eptember. A comununicaticn from the
I
St. John Ambulance Corp asking if I
the Institute would consider a First
Aid course was read. A motion was
carried that consideration of this be
left over until next meeting,
The motto "Man's work is from sun
to sun, but woman's work is never'
done" was taken charge of by Miss
Harrison, and was very cleverly pre- I
stinted in poetic form,
Reports were then received from
the treasurer and convenors of the
standing committees. A motion was
then carried that we pay tribute to
the local press for the kindly consid-
eration it has given to our Institute.
It was felt that the recording sec-'
t•etary bass too many tasks imposed
n her so a corresponding secretary,
'n the person of Mrs. N. W. 'P ewar-
tha was appointed to take charge of;
communications and writing letters.
Annual reports were received show-
dartMemiftwasta
ing the Institute to have had a,very
successful year. Mrs. Oakes .most
gracefully contributed two solos,
"Who ever makes a garden, has all
the help he needs" and "Little mother
of mine". She was accompanied an
the piano by Mrs. Agnew who is ever
ready to use her musical talent in
any worthy cause.
A splendid and most interesting
paper on the life and reign of Queen
Victoria was given by Mrs. J- B.
Lavin.
The Women's Institute would like
all who use the Rest Room, especially
the young girls of town, to bear in
mind it is keit up for use and not
abuse and cannot be kept presentable
if some insist on breaking the furnit-
ure and destroying things in general.
The meeting was brought to a close
by singing the National Anthem after
which meet delicious refreshments
were served provided by the hostesses
Miss Brigham, Mrs. E. Adams, Mrs.
MOLinchey, Mrs. Veneer and Mrs.
Vanhorn,
George 3'. Gould
George Parker Gould, a former pro„
minent resident of Goderich township,
died at his hone in Goderich on Tues
day morning after a long illness. He
had been confined to bed for the past
four months.
Mr, Gould was born at Kingston
seventy-five years ago, and was a son
