A Bagful of Bricks

Dorney 'Goleford came wandering
languidly down the street, a suitcase
dangling limply from one hand. Dor-
my was not feeling at his best. He
had had to get up early that morn-
ing, and he never felt at his best
when he had to do that. i
"Donny" was diminutive for
"Dormouse," a sobriquet bestowed
upon him in admiring recognition of
his superb capacity nor slumber. To
sleep was the one thing he really
did well. It didn't matter where he
was or what he was doing. Sooner
or later the slumiher urge overcame.
him, and Dorney gave way to it,
It was tt'this giif t that he owed the
aim -apt termination of his scholastic
career at Oxford. The authorities
held that lectures were instituted to
be listened to with attention. Tech-
nically Dormy supposed, they were
right, but that didn't keep him a-
wake. So at last he was told that
the University had no further use
for him.
The testamentary benevolence of
a deceased uncle rendered this less
catastrophic than it might have beer.,
but he had still to break the news
to his parents. It was a situation,
Dormy realised, distinctly calling for
tact.
He; had been up a long time, and
the day was warm, It .was a com-
buietion of circumstances which
aroused in Dormy an overwhelming
desire for rest and contemplation.
He set down his bag, intending to
wipe his brow with his handkerchief.
But there was none in his pocket.
"Dash!" observed Dormy. "Must
have left it in the train."
However, his suitcase, he was a-
ward, was plentifully supplied with
these useful articles. He threw open
the lid.
If the suitcase had ever contained
handkerchiefs, it betrayed no evi-
dence of it. There was nothing in-
side that could, by any stretch of the
Imagination, have come into the hab-
erdashery class. The ease was pack-
ed with crumpled newspaper and

"Where the devil did you get in?"
"Hammersmith."
"Hammersmith? Well, this is
Manchester now. What the devil do

"H'sh! H'shl" begged Dormy de-
precatingly. "Ladies present. I was
just corning to the explanation side
of matters'."
"I'm waiting!" said the man, with
a certain grimness.
It las not exactly the occasion up-
on whieh a man speaks at his best
and moat convincingly, but Dormy
managed to make a fairly good job
of his defence.
"Awful cheek, I know," he wound
up. ".Really, though, I was so dash-
ed sleepy. I do hope you'll accept
my sincere apologies!'
"It's too slim, young man!" said
the girl. "Try again."
"You be quiet, Doris!" said the
young Haan, frowning warning.
"But, JLarold, how do 'nu know he
isn't a—+—"
"Shut up!" said the young man
quite fiercely.
Doris shut up. Harold regorged
Dormy with a sort of menacing
theughtfuhiess. He said:
"We accept your explanation
"Ob, I say, jolly decent of you, I

nouncement made this week by .Lt. -
Col. W. Arthur Steel, who stated
that the Commission's short-wave
station at Bowmanyille, ORGX, form-
erly known as VE9GW, has extended
its broadcasting period expressly for
the purpose of giving listeners full
benefit of Commission long -wave
broadcasting.
CRCX operates on a frequency of
6090 kilocycles and now has an out-
put of 1,000 watts through an im-
proved transmitter, which makes it
one of the moat modern stations of
its kind in ,Canada.' For the "North-
ern Messenger Service" broadcast
last winter by the Commission CRCX

and think it over. He looked about
hire for sanctuary,
No free library, public bench, art "So you'll promise not to tell a
gallery, or museum offered itself to soul that you've seen us, won't you?"
She smiled charmingly at Dormy,
who gulped and promised. Under
the influence of that smile, there
were few things he wouldn't have
promised.
"That's all right, then, Daddy
would be simply furious. We just
drove off in my car, and nobody
knows a thing. So—not a word?"
"Not a word!" agreed Dormy.
"WWI, I must . be getting back to
London. So -long, and the ?test of
luck, and—er—"'thanks for the lift."
The hour was late when once
more Dormy walked, down the street
in Hammersmith on his homeward
way. He had a restful day, culmin-
ating in a long sleep in the train
from Manchester, and this time he
felt no disposition to put his bag
down and rest.
He pawed the cul-de-sac where he
had found the motor -car. The roan
was in darkness, save for a light in
the house outside which the car had
his gaze. Even so, nobody but Dor-
my would have done what he did
Probably even Dormy, had he been
a shade less drowsy, wouldn't have
done it himself.
IIe sighted a large Ford saloon
car standing restfully down a cul-de-
sac, It had a settled, comfortable
look, as if it were there for the day.
Dormy staggered straight up to it
and opened the rear door. ,He put in,
his bag, tumbled in after it, curled
himself up under the ear rug, and
went gracefully to sleep.
Gentle motion is an excellentseda-'
tive. It was the cessation of mo-
tion that awakened Dormy. He found
himself lying on the floor, feeling'
considerably refreshed, and, alto-
gether, a great deal better . for his
siesta. Ire eat up and looked out
the window quite brightly.
His first idea was that people had
been taking a lot of liberties. with
the world whilst he had been asleep.
They'd taken away the neat, detach-
ed house in front of which the car.
had stood, and had replaced it with a
large hotel. Dormy didn't know how
long *he'd been asleep, but it must
have been pretty slick work.
Then he noticed that a man and
a girl were seated in the front of
the car, not two feet away from him.
They were conversing in low tones.
The situation was delicate, Dor-
my saw that at, once. This is a tol-
erant age. Nevertheless, formalities
have not been' so far relaxed that a
roan may stow himself away in the
back of a stranger's' motor -car With-
out, at least, notifying that strain
Dormy rightly felt the position to
be embarrassing. Ile ` sought des-
perately for a remark which would
announce his presence suitably,` but
there were no observations that real-
ly covered the affair. In the end he
tried a cough.
The cough was effective, The two
whipped round in their seats.
"Oooh!" cried the girl. She put
a good deal of feeling into it.
"Well, I'm damned!" said the man.
He, too, sounded as though he meant
it.
"I say, you know, I'm frightfully He led the way indoors, and turn-
sorry," said Dormy. • ed hopefully to Dormy.

That light affected Dormy . pro-
foundly. He pictured Doris' father
sitting up waiting for his daughter
to come home. Maybe, even now he
was wiping away a furtive tear. How
was he to guess what had happened
to his child?
"It's'too '•bad, dash it!" thought
Dormy.- ;"I've a dashed good mind
to go in and tell him there's nothing
to worry about.
He had expressly promised Doris
td do no such thing, but there could-
n't be any harm in it now they were

Doris' mind. Her. father couldn't do
a thing to them now. He might
even relent and give them his bless-
ing. Stern parents often did, Dor-
my believed. "
Yrs, it would be an act of charity
to relieve the old boy's mind. He
marched up to the house and knock-
ed at the door.
A grey-haired, military -looking
man opened it. Dormy beamed. at
him like an angel of glad tidings.
"I've come to bring you some good
news, sir!" he announced.
"You have?" said the old man
cae'erly, ""Come in, sir --come in!"

"Yes," said Dormy. "1, know

"Where?"
"Wel!, S left them at Manchester,
but I believe there was some talk of
their moving on."
"You' left them in Manchester?"
His hast stared at him. "But —

"I could hardly go with them,"
Dormy pointed out gently, "I mean,

know."
"Eh? L -look here, do you mind
telling me just what you're talking
about?"
"I; m talking about. your daughter

"I don't understand!" almost wail-

"What about your snuff-boxes?"
"Why, they were stolen this morn-

what it was all about -and while I

"By Jove!" said Dormy, iippress-

"What did .happen?"

CKSO situated at Sudbury, Ontario,
and operating on a frequency of 780
kilocycles with 1,000 watt 'output.
Owned and being operated by W.
E. Mason, well known north country
publisher, the new station is to act as
a basic outlet of the Canadian Radio
Commission and, as such, will serve
a large area with programs hitherto
unavailable. It provides almost per-
fect reception and is sufficiently
strong to satisfy the broadcasting re-

In a way of speaking, the buying public owns every retail store
in our town. It pays the rents' and the 'salaries and all the other
ousts of all stores in our city. It informs the owners of these
stores what to buy and at what price to sell. And it demands' from
all retailers a communication service—meaning news ' of what re-
tailer's have in stock, and what their prices are. And of course it.
does most of its business with those retailers who report to it regu-
larly and fully—by the agency off advertisements in .our newspaper.
And if any retailer says—in et4ect—"I'll not give you—the real own-
ers of my .business—any nifornration about my business'," then the
buying public says in effect—!"Right you are. As for us, we shalt
go in largest numbers to those retailers who communicate to us
regularly and adequately via the medium of our local newspaper."
This way of putting it ie not just fanciful. It is stern fact,
Retailers who decline to maintain communication with the public by
means of the newspaper which it reads' lose business bo those who are
faithfully communicative.
.Some retail business is languishing today—unnecessarily. Ile
attitude to the public is' wrong. It eays—in effect --to the public.
"You come and find us," and the publib's attitude is: "You telI us
about your business and your merchandise. You are our employee.
Report to us regularly and adequately on how you are serving us. If
you convince us that you are our faithful and efficient servant, welt
keep on employing you, and will pay you well."
The way of making a business grow and making it healthy is as
plain as is the noseon one's face. It is the way of maintaining a
steady communication relationship with one's employers -via the
one effective and economical agency—our advertisements coluiiins.
