CJoI'lins, wife of the little nitan with the' big voice stoutly affirmed; her determination to enter the race, and was dissuaded much against her will, She enjoined her husbiund to put his, best foot forward, and the firm set of her jaw suggest- ed that on 'his fleetness of foot det. pended the family honor in this hour of trial. Mr. Stone had slipped out,' during the confusion that preceded the men's departure, and when the others ar- rived at the vacant .lot adjoining Henry Gibson's store, he had return- ed with a set of horseshoes. As for Henry Gibson, he had been so long detained, 'choosing from the display of chinaevare samples of a traveller that, having attended only the dinner proper; end then exeus• ing himself, promising to return lat- er, he had arrived back at the Ar- mory to find all the men gene. He was mildly astonished to learn that the Re -Union Dinner had turned in- to a foot raee, and he sought out Ed- wyna for information. "Do you know if 3heCordle said anything to Mr. Toe:Inns. about the gaol being closed, Miss Armitage?" he questioned, "Not while we were at the table, Mr. Gibson, but I have a feeling, and so has Mrs. BIainey, that there's more in this than a foot race. All the men were giggling to themselves like little schoolboys, that is, ev- eryone except Mr. Tomkins and Mr. iifcCordle. They looked—well, silly." Sure ns' you live McCordle's got himself into another mix-up of some kind," the grocer declared) 'lOh, well, there's nothing to be done a- bout it, I suppose." "He hasn't been. himself since Mr. Tomkins arrived in town," Edwyna said, "He promised to get me a erockerycrate from your store yes- terday, to make a pen for Mickey, and he forgot. It slipped his mind again to -day." "Where is Mickey?" Henry ask- ed, slightly suspicious that the little pig might be conscripted into what- ever monkey -business was afoot. "He's in the back porch. I really think I should find out if he's all right." "I'll tell Mrs. Blainey," Henry vol- unteered. And excused, with an ex- planation left for Mr. Tomkins, she took her leave, accompanied by the quiet -mannered, reliable grocer. At the vacant lot pegs had been driven in at paced distance, and Mr. Blainey had been elected referee. Much humorous comment marked the. preparations for` the horseshoe con- test, but .McCordle stood a .part, grimly determined that hi,e enemy should shortly suffer embarrassment, His idea was to cause Mr. Tomkins to lose at least enough of his cloth- ing to prevent his being presentable to take Edwyna home, and to retain his own apparel intact, and so merit that privilege himself. "Alright, gentlemen," Mr. Blainey called at last. "The rules. of this contest are simple. I shall lib im,. partial in my judgments, of course, The loser. to each end obeli give up the clothing that I call,•fo'. Are you ready? Very good; you first, Abe Tomkins."' The .Cabinet Minister stepped for- ward and there was a general 'eras, ing of necks. Ile calculated the dis- tance for a moment and then his horseshoe sailed through the air and plunked to rest a.couple of feet 'from the peg. McComdle's throw woe temporary advantage. Mr, Tomkins released his second half circle of iron. Xt went wild, but fell on its :ode and rolled towards the peg, the closest- shot. McCordle's throw was perfectly distanced, but unfor- tunately it bounced off M. Tomkins' shot, and the latter Won the end by a point. "Your hat, Angus.," Mr. Blaine requested. ./McCordle grimly handed over his.hat and set his' jaw deter- minedly at the laughter that follow- ed the foifeit. Again Mr. Temkin../ stepped forward and released his horseshoes MtCCoxdle followed in turn, and each repeated. When the round ended I1fcCoedle had lost two points by a wide margin. "Your coat ,and vest," the referee intoned,, and Angus complied with an alacrity /born of exasperation. At the next round fortune favored Angus, and Mr. Tomkins' was 'obliged to deliver his hat into the referee's keeping. Both men nowywere warm- ed to the game and striving earnest- ly for Mastery. D.

On the other handy Mr. Tom- kins had carelessly abandoned him- self to complete victory. This proved a mistake, for Me- Cordle won both points of the next end and, sobered by the reverse, Mx. Tomkins handed over his coat and vest meekly. Angus stepped up now with a sot look on his face. BiOs throw was a good one. Waiting to regain judg- ment, the delayed effort of Mx. Tom- kins fell shortby a couple of feet. Angus appeared to be riding in luck. He threw again, a beautiful shot that landed against the peg•_ and, this accomplished, he grimaced tan- talizingly at his opponent. Put his cockiness was ill-timed. Mr. Tom- kins' horseshoe 'arched forward and downward over the peg—a ringer. "Your shoes, Angus," Mr. BIainey chuckled. "Not on your life," .MeCordle's stubbornness stilled the merriment. "Your trousers, then." .".I.Sook, here,/ Angus thundered, backing up defensively, "You're not getting any trousers, either." ' Mr. Blainey turned to the crowd. "What's the verdict, gentlemen?" "Mutiny on the high seas," the little man with the hoarse voice tbel- lowed. "Fain% fair; you agreed to do as the referee said, Angus," someone called. But McCordle was adamant. "Jus: anybody try to get my pants," he challenged. Big Mr. Smith directed a quick, questioning glance at the referee, and the latter nodded. The blacksmith grabbed Angus and the others circled round, and althouglu the unfortunate bachelor struggled valiantly, in :, Couple of minutes the blacksmith emerged from the group displaying a pair el' trousers. "I declare the contest over, AIx. Tomkins the winner," Mr. Blainee announced, Now, Angus, you will have to shift for yourself. 'You eau get your clothes back to -morrow, "Colne along, men. Let's get bate to the Indies," he rallied, They made off, leaving MicCordle sitting on the ground, clad only in underwear, shoes and socks. Fortunately the former was of heavy wool, but even so, he was becoming chilly. When the last man had rounded Henry Gibson,* shed and was out of sight, Angue crawled gingerly to the protecting wall of that structure, there to de- vise a plan for reaching his apart. trent. Ironically, one of Henry's willow crates lay near at hand. •Unexpectedly iV1cCordlets brief meditation was interrupted. "I un- derstand," a voice jeered—and the bachelor's blood quickened, when he recognized it—"I understand that you are very pleasantly disposed to. wards Miss Amirage. I came back to tell you, in case you were worried about the young lady getting home safely, that I shall take it upon my- self to accompany her." Mr. Tomkins'' silky words stagger- ed Angers to a frenzy. He jumped forward and struck out blindly, and the hard tblow landed on the cabinet minister's jaw. lie dropped like an ox and McCordle was .kneeling beside; him at once. Working rapidly, he transferred the big man's trousers to his own smaller frame, paying no heed to the generous fit. His imme- diate concern was in acquiring just enough covering to get home decent- ly, there to dress properly and return to the Armory for Fidwyna. Ite waited long enough to obey an urge to roll Mr. Tomkins into the empty crate, then he hurried :along the lane, homeward bound. As he came in through his back gate, be was surprised to see, a light shining through Edwyna's kitchen window. He halted, pondering the cause of it, then climbed over the fence into her yard and cautiously approached the window. What he saw, standing on nip -toes, , made his head' real. He couldn't believe his ' eyes. Iie had seen Edwyna but a short • time be fore at the pasty Now she Was home, and the grocer with her, tak. ing a late eup of something, and ap- pearing quite at his ease in the pro.

Perfect Reception Ensured The short wave receiving equilp ment of this station is the latest de- ve'lapment of the .Canadian Marconi Company. The nature of this equip- ment and the location of the station and the quality of the soil on which it is built ensure practically perfect short wave reception at all times.

Radio engineers have found that the skip is about tee wave lengths: For this reason ono of the two antenna systems is' plac- ed 1,000 feet closer' to the station b'nilding than the ether so that when. the sbort wave skips the first anten- na system it is caught by the second and taken into the receiver with which the antenna is joined. The two receiving units are coupled by a control board and their Combined reception synchronized, this having the effect of keeping reception con- stant.

Reception interference from l'oca'l' causes such as ignitionsystems on automobiles, weather conditions in the vicin.ty of the receiving appa ratus, and other`oonditions are over. - come, first by the isolation of the station, next by the nature of the soil on which it is built, and then by special insulation of the lead -In Wires from the antenna. These wives are carried from the aerials to the receiving units inside two 'sets of. copper tubing. One small tube is inside a larger tube and the space between the two tubes is filled witia nitrogen gas under 100 pounds of Pressure. All this insulation has the effect of keeping out mechanical in. terference and dampness. The station building is modest in size and 'appearance. It is located on a twenty -acre site, this acreage being necessary for the proper sep- aration of the two antenna systems. K. A.
