"Stealing " "No!" he snapped, then his hands clenched on the edge of the bed and he choked back a sob. "She took that money—the money I stole to save her old father from jail -- and bought a trousseau--and—got mar- ried—and went to Europe!" He stag- gered taggered to his feet, shaking his fist at space. "Went to Europe!" he shout - cd, "her old father was all a bloom- ing lie—she went to Europe with the man she'd been engaged to for two years!" Nancy, sitting alone on the edge of the bed now, gasped with relief. "I'm so glad," she cried, "so glad!" Roddy stopped in his furious out- burst to glare at her. "1Vloneyl She wanted money!" he And now—well, they don't need to. worry about me any more—I quit." "Roddy, we thought you'd try to make good!" He crimsoned with shame. It seemed to take the high tragedy out of it, Nancy, watching him, saw how he felt. She got up slowly from her seat on the bed and went to him "Come home soon, Roddy," she whis- pered, "please come. home -- we all love you—all of us! Den't hurt us any morel" Nancy shut the door softly and went downstairs. Richard was standing with hts back to his own door when she came down. "Thank you for Roddy," she saic with stiff lips, "please send him home." "Nancy," she Richard hoarsely "you're unhappy, .I see it. I won't hold you against your will. You car get a divorce.

"The sooner the better!" she cried, and ran past him out of the house. you a jolt he said flatly, "got one in the insurance office now—twen- ty dollars a week to start—end no fooling. Take it, Rod?" Roddy gasped. "I'd—I'd like to think about it, sir." The major laughed shortly. Then he heard their maid -of -all -work ad- mitting a visitor. "There's Haddon! Did you set out the chess table, Angie? All rights then, you take this young firebrand in hand and talk, sense to him." Ile started down the 'hall to nieet Had- don, but threw a word .back over his shoulder, "Better take it, Rod, unless —you want to jockey for Polestar." Roddy said nothing. "Won't you sit down, Rod?" i He swung around and found her, sitting in her corner, just as she used to sit. '"Angie, I'm not fit to lace your, boots!" he cried impetuously. She was startled'. "I'm so sorry uncle was rude—" she faltered "please don't mind it, Roddy. He- he means to be kind." "No one could be dreadful enough to me," said Roddy, flinging him- self an a low stool at her feet. She : wasshocked, but her heart began' to beat in her throat. He was always impetuous. He had come back to tell her --die was sorry then! "I've done awful things," he went on, in a passion of self abnegation. The task of telling Mr. Gordon a- bout Roddy fell to Nancy; her moth+ er would not face it. RVir. Gordon's foce worked. "Give him another chance, Papa! Poor Rod." Mr. Gordon passed his other hand over his face, then he let it fall hea- vily on his daughter's shoulder. "My poor girl!

Roddy stared at her, his jaw drop- ping; suddenly the selfishness .of his; own anguish was penetrated. Nancy's forlorn cry went to his heart. "Nancy, I'm a cotter!" he groaned, "I'm no good on earth!" "Neither am I!" Nancy's voice was smothered, "I'm—I'm just as bad!

"Come, and shake hands then, sir," he said, sharply, "drat it, I thought I'd caught my chicken thief!" Red in the face, Roddy came up and shook hands. The old man swung the lantern in his face. "Been drinking?" he asked grim. ly. "You look fishy, but come in— Angie hears your voice." Roddy wanted to escape. Then he looked up and saw the girl in the lighted doorway. Before he knew it ho was holding her soft cool hands in his. "Come in, come in," saidthe ma- jor testily,: "I'm playing chess to- night with Haddon, but you and An- gie can ,talk' if you've a mind to." The major, hanging his lantern on a hook by the door, surveyed him. "Beaver says you've given up," he remarked sharply, "going to turr into a foot -pad, young man, or a toe- daneer—which?" "Uncle Robert!" gasped "Angie. Roddy swallowed hard.

She drew back at that, she saw the look on his face and suddenly remembered If she told Nancy's THURS., MAY 31, 1934 brother the story that was going the. rounds,,. the story that linked Nancy's name with Morgan's, Roddy would go to Richard and demand satisfac- tion. He would have to go=' -and it would mean death! The girl began to tremble; she had been a fool, what could she say?

"I—can't believe it, Roddy, you'rewhy, you're a Gor- don!" He turned crimson. She had touched the tenderest spot about him, "I stole fifteen thousand dollars film the trust company, Angie.

Richard had money—could Nancy have gone to him "I—I'gn• so glad you didn't go -to jail!" she gasped, and then: "Rod, you ought to have gone. We ought to pay for what we do -ourselves." He caught her hand and held it feverishly; he had forgotten his hat. red of the sex. "You don't despise me — for it?" he asked huskily'. She shook her head. Then, sud- denly, without warning, she burs; into tears. Her tears melted Roddy:' he felt a rush of self pity as great as her pity for him. "Oh, Roddy!" sighed the girl melt- ingly, and before she knew it her soft fingers touched his brown hair with shy fondness. "Oh, Rod, there was a woman, you said-" "I hate her!" he vowed. "I war a fool, Angie, She fooled me.' She begged for help for her old father— oh, a touching .story—and she said she'd return it, I—I thought I could myself.

When youheara man running down his home town or city or busi- ness or industry in it, or his home newspaper, take a good look at him. Ten to one he will have a -chin as long as a rail, an eye as restless as a horse thief; and he will hitch around in his chair as though he had a touch of St. Anthony's dance. Talk with him a while and you will discover that he has made a failure . of everything he has ever tried (except being disagree_ able), and nine times out of ten he is dependent on the public for favors or support; you will find him of a med- dlesome, peevish, jealous nature; a man who is always complaining, and although he has but little, if anything of his own, one would imagine to hear him talk that he.had a quit claim deed to the earth and a first mortgage on heaven. 3-fe knows everybody's business, and why shouldn't he? He has none of his own to take up his time. Such people, like mosquitoes, were not created in vain, perhaps, but one fact remains, they do not add ma- terially to the pleasure of conduct- ing legitimate business. —Swift Current (Sask.) Sun. A number of the farmers of Huron County who have been shipping their cattle to Britain through a Montreal firm known as the Richelieu Coepore- tion, which is now defunct, seem at present to stand to lose a lot of mon- ey. The company is reported to have collected for the cattle but has not paid a cent to the farmer. It ap- pears that this firm chartered the boats for the shipment. Hon. Ff. H. Stevens, minister of Trade and Commerce states that ir. his opinion there had not only been a grave injustice to the farmers who shipped the cattle, but that they had been the victim of a cringe. He pro- mised that the government would co- operate in every way in securing jus- tice for the fanners. George Spotton, M.P., for North Huron, who is always ready to lend his aid for his constit- uents is doing all in his power to get restitution for the Huron farmers to retrieve their loss, having been in Montreal a number• of t'im.es in their behalf and if compensation is receiv- ed he deserves the credit. —Blyth Standard. YOU SEE IT EVERY DAY What chances men take of being. severely burned and even losing their life, is seen at almost every service station where gasoline is fed to the tank of a car. The owner of the car will stand over the tank and watch the inflammable fluid being poured in with a lighted cigar or cigarette between his lips and we have even seen them strike a match to light their pipe. In the open air the clan- ger is not so great, but it is neverthe, less, a great danger ' and once the fumes of the gasoline become ignited, theexplosion follows, „ and the man standing nearby is liable to be the most severely burned. ` We have fro• guently noticed young men, while the gas tank was being filled, strike a match and light a cigarette. Acci-, dents do oder}', and often lives are lost by such.caa'elessness, but those who do escape do not seem to heed the many warnings. Recently we read of a man who was/ removing gas from a ear with a lighted pipe in his mouth. - In a few bears he was being cared for in a hospital' and is prob- ably disfigured for life. Fire and gasoline dont mix any more than al- cohol and gasoline will mix. Winchester Press. CAN IT BE BROUGHT ABOUT? SUNDAY WORK IN GARAGES With the coming of summer and heavy Sunday motor traffic, the Sob, bath for the garage man is becoming in many cases the heaviest day of the week. A pertinent suggestion is made that if there were an extra tax on gas sold on Sunday, autd tanks would be filled on Saturday. Is it because farmers are so busy that some of them drive to the garage on Sunday morning and order work done on their cars, while they attend church? Many a car owner does not hesitate to leave the repair work on his car until Sunday when he has time to watch over the work done. When the people "remember the Sab- bath Day to keep it holy," the garage man may be able to do so, too. iSimcoe Reformer. • Hidebound partyisrn is a thing which should be relegated to the limbo of the forgotten past.

Howvard Ferguson, met on Canadian soil. This was the first time since 1708 that the esplan- ade in front of the Castle was of,fl, cially recognized as part of Canada. When James VI. first created bar- onetcies of Nova Scotia, it was neces. sary that they should be created upon the soil of that portion of Canada. A piece of ground before the Castle of Edinburgh was therefore decreed to be part of Nova Scotia. Some even say a basket of Nova Scotian earth brought from Canada put the finish- ing touches to the legalizing of the ground as Canadian territory and the charter proclaiming the esplanade as a portion of Canada has never been annualcd, The recent meeting by the Nigh Commissioner of Canada and the Lord Provost of Edinburgh has therefore an historical significance because this is the first time that this reputed Canadian territory has been used officially since the last Nova. Scotian baronet was created in 1708, Creation of the Nova Scotian bar- onets was intended to get the individ- nals thus honored to take a practical interest in Nova Scotia, to invest their capital in it and send out amen and cattle and goods. Belleville Canadian, AS KEEN AS A FOX HAS NEW MEANING- Rev. EANINGRev. J. W. Jenkins of Aldersyde has had .interesting proof of the keen instinct and tenacity of memory a, mongst foxes. Mr. Jenkins and his son Harold, have been successfully breeding foxes on the Maple Leaf Pox Farm for ten years, and find much interest in the study of these timid, high strung little animals. Mr. Jenkins senior, returned re- cently, after an absence of almost two year's and at first opportunity went the rounds ofthe kennels. Although some of the old stock was on hand, he had no expectation of being recogA nized, and at this . particular time the foxes are particularly sensitive to any invasion of their yards. Howe. ever one of the older foxes came for- ward to him immediately and unhesi-' • tatingly, at once recognizing ae old friend. After the first amenities of renewed acquaintance were over, she showed the usual maternal desire to show off the new babies, and called her youngsters out :to ~speak to the nice gentohnan. The °little round ball a of fur rolled out at the call, but im- mediately disappeared in alarm. A, gain the mother gave her call, and whatever reassurance or explanation which She may have offered' 1,n fox language, the result was • that the puppies came forth fearlessly, and in no, time were rolling round Mx.
