By Agnes Louise , Provost
Synopsis
Lee Hollister, returning unexpect-
edly from a trip abroad to the Circle
V ranch, his home from childhood, is
troubled by signs of neglect. Joey,
an old prospector friend of Matt
13lair, Lee's foster: father and owner
of the ranch, tells Lee that Matt has
killed himself, probably discouraged
by hard 'times. The ranch isgoing
to ruin and Virginia, Matt's daught-
er, is visiting the Archers, her aunt
and uncle he New York.
Iter uncle wants her to sell the
place to Milton Bradish, old associate
of Matt's. Lee persuades Virginia
to return to the ranch. Mrs. Archer
follows her, accompanied by Stanley,
son of Milton Bradish. Stanley thinks
he may be able to discredit Lee in
Virginia's eyes, and encourages Jos-
efa Ramirez in her liking for Lee.
One evening Josefa forces Lee to,
watch her dance, and throws herself
into his arms just as Virginia rides
past with Stanley,

seeing a movie 'film called "To the
Vioboi,"- 4he llilnvized story of the
boots, "Bob Son of Battle" by Alfred
Oilivant. This is good news to xne,
and, I hope, to many, many others
who have read "Bob' Son, of .Battle".
This is the story 'of two sheep, dogs
and their respective masters. The
two dogs contended inure than once
for the prize for the best perform-
ance at an open competition. But
the doge focussed on themselves ad-
ditional attention. One of the dogs
was a sheep -killer; Which_ was it -
Red Wull, or Bob?
-
I read this story away back in the
90's of last century. I remained up
until three o'clock in the morning to
finish the story, so thrilling was it.
Then, 15 years or 'so later I had a
chance to see sheep dog trials in
Carlisle, famous- bolder town between
Scotland and England. Perhaps if I
tell of the trials- which I saw on the
outskirts of Carlisle, the story may
be interesting to my readers.
T had read in some newspaper that
the international sheep dog trials:.
were to take place he Carlisle. on a
certain Saturday in September. So
on. the Friday even]ng before this
day I set off via London and North
Western Railway from London to
Carlisle, a journey of 300 miles. I
arrived at Carlisle at 61a:m., and was
able to buy a Carlisle paper at the
railway station at 6 a-ine The fust
thing I saw on the fi ant page was
an article about `Brampton County
Fain" -which made me feel very
much at home, for my home town
is Brampton, Peg' County, Ontario.
I could not find in this newspaper
anything about the sheep dog trials,
and it was not until nearly 9 o'clock,
after having had my breakfast at a
Carlisle 'hotel; that I Ieaenedthat
the trials had been postponed until
the following Wednesdayr
The day was a perfect Otte - a
clear sky day, soft September air,
brilliantly sunny. I found that I
could get to the • small town of
Brampton in Cumberlandsltire, by
train, with about half an hour there
before the train returning tb, Carlisle
left, So off to Brampton I went.
The town had its station' i n the
country, with a horse-di•aovn• bus in
those days to take visitors to and
from trains. At Carlisle I kept my-
self busy visiting stores- and asking
questions, saying that I' was from
Brampton in Canada. T met with a
few people who had cousins or other
relatives in Brampton, Canada. Then,
as I climbed into the bus to return,
I happened to say to the driver that
my home town was Brampton, Can-
ada. Ile said, "My uncle founded
your town, and my fattier. 95 years
old, who is standing against the wall
yonder, remembers my uncle". So I
begged .for a delay of a minute or
two while I chatted to the old nian

Yet the derivation of the word is
`simple enough and sensible, too.
When. a picnic was being arranged
for, the custom originally was that
'those, who intended to be present
should supply the eatables and drink-
ables. A list of these necessaries
having been drawn up, it was passed
around and each person picked out
the article of food ter drink that he
or she was willing, to furnish, and
the name of the article was nicked
ark the list. The entertainment thus
became known as a "pick -and -nick".

Corporation's new 50,000 watt tran-

during an address broadcast over the
national . network from Halifax..
Mr. Murray, speaking in the "Chau

nounced that the new Maritime. sta-
tion, CBA, is being constructed at

Speaking of the value of the exe.

ing but to general relations, Mr.
Murray told listeners that Laurence
Gilliam, who was guest of 0130- last
spring, already is building Canadian'
features for broadcasting in the

PICTURING THE HOUSE
Careful !`framing" with tree"s

]t LMOST everyone who has a
1-1 camera takespictures of his
home, but many of us neglect the
few simple suggestions which would

that more attractively present the
place where you live.
