Then she arose, passed him, and went to the door. She put out a steady hand now and opened it look- ing into the front hall. It was emp- ty. She was going without a word, but Richard reached her. He caught her in his arms, pressed her close to his heart. "Nancy," he said hoarsely, pas- sionately, "my wife—stay with ane -don't go—stay, 'I'll make you love me, I'll win you.

"Is that so?" he asked her in a low voice, "did you come to this man for help?" Nancy still leaning on the table,. swayed a little. "I don't know—why I came," she replied at last, faintly. Richard ignored him and went to her. "Nancy, I've come for you," he repeated in a low deep voice, his eyes sarching her face. , She met them and her face quiver. eded like a child's, She lifted her hands from the table slowly, grop- pingly, and tried to walk toward the door, but her steps faltered and she swayed. Richard put an arm around her, guiding her. "Nancy," cried Page, "I won't let you go like this! It's got to be ex- plained, you're too wretched. Look at her, Morgan, does she look like a bride? What have you done? If you're a man you'll let her go." Richard stopped, turned slowly and measured him.

A 60 -acre -camp site has been plac- ed at the disposition of Regina Boy Scout troops by the Regina City Council. Angie had to get the jbreakfast. She came into the dining room, her face rosy from the fire. She set the plate of rusk down in front of her uncle' and retired behind the old silver coffee-pot. She was thinking of Rod Gordan. It was the first time he had ever been in town without coming to see heft . They were old neighbors;' they had been boy and ;girl sweethearts. He had walked straight by the house and never looked at it, and Nancy had said nothing about his visit home! What did it mean? Major Lomax ate a piece of rusk with an audible erunch and turned over his newspaper. "Hello!" he exclaimed, stopping to read an advertisement more care fully. "The Gordon house for sale —whole outfit—furniture and all!" Angie was astonished. A shaft of termor_ shot through her. Had something happened. to Roddy? • "Why, uncle, it just can't be true— they love the old house se!" He shoved the paper across the table. "Read thatl" he said cross- ly. He was crass because, like Angie a shaft of alarm had shot through him. He had heard something from a cousin of his in New York, old Beaver, accountant in the Greenoug Trust Company. Old Beaver said Roddy was running after a fast wo- man and was .in debt. Lomax knew that William Gordon's resources were narrow. Trouble somewhere? The major's old mouth hardened. "Gordon called hie up late last night—wanted to know about selling some securities," be ruminated aloud, more to himself than to Angie. "He had about five thousand in Liberty I bonds."

N- rf u1 k ro• ERMIMEITAMEI at. Hyd omestic Has onsm ave ers In 1932, the last year for which comparative figures are available, all the domestic consumers served by Hydro municipalities used an aggregate of 740,000,000 kilowatt-hours, for which they paid the aggregate sum of $11,676,000, or•an average cost, inclusive of all charges, of only 1.57 cents per .kilowatt-hour. According to United States census figures for 1932, the domestic consumers served by privately -owned utilities in that country paid an average of 5.60 cents per kilowatt-hour. It is a simple matter to compute that, if Ontario Hydro domestic consumers had had to pay, for the 740,000,000 kilowatt-hours they used in 1932, as much per kilowatt-hour as United States consumers paid, their bills would have aggregated the vast sum of $41,490,000, or nearly $30,000,000 more than the amount their electricity actually cost them under Hydro service.
