It was triumph indeed! But somehow the Fostershad got beneath his skin.

CANADIAN NATIONAL:' AILWAYS, "I'ni lost, my man, and I'd be glad if you'd get me back on the road at once, where I have a car waiting for me." • "Ye're the new owner of the late Sir - James's estate, ain't ye?" The question startled the financier, who nodded impatiently. The` man took not the slightest notice, "Why don't ye answer?" he asked, after a long pause. "You've got your torch still a- light," snapped the financier. "You saw me nod. I''ve already told you I'm Sir Julius Rosenbaum. Come, let's be going!" "Not so fast," came the reply. "It's true I've' got this 'ere torch, but I uses it only so's to stop thein fast cars runnin' me over on the highroad. Ye see, I'm Blind 'Arry- the only man as knows the path a- cross this 'ere bog.

For disaster threatened the Fost- ers. Hallefort did not know the ex- act details. He had gathered that Rase Cottage Farm had been heavily Mortgaged in order to tide over the lean years of the depression. Sir James Frankton, the mortgagee, had been kindness itself, and Jack Fost- er had been .given extension after extension of time to pay back the money he owed. Sixty'pounds only remained before the farm became his again. And now Sir James had died suddenly and his estate had been bought by an industrial magnate from the North, a hard, unsympath- etic man. A curt note demanding immediate payment of the long -overdue arrears plunged the Fosters in despair. They went to a lawyer and were further dismayed to discover that Sir Julius Rosenbaum had the right to sell the farm over their heads. Unfortunately it encroached into the estate and Sir Julius had been heard to declare his intention of owning the property in- tact. It was obvious to all what was going to happen. The financier would buy the farm himself, clear the mortgage, and hand over the remain- der to Jack Foster. At so short a notice, they had been unable to bar- row. Lenders, wishing to stand In well with the new owner, closed their purses. Appeal had been useless. "It's me for the Embankment this time, right enough," muttered Halle - fort gloomily. "Better than to watch them suffer, anyway -and to think that I actually want to help 'em." He, paid for his drink and walked out to find a thin mist covering the landscape and darkness falling. Salt, pepper, and sage or allspice -are used for preserving and flavoring sausages made on the farm. Thirty •pounds of sausage :meat will require '1:-2 7:b. of table salt, 2' oz. pepper, and '1 to'2 oz. of sage if the sausage to 'for' immediate' use, er 11-2, to 2 oz. of allspice, instead of sage, for long keeping. These ingredients !should be mixed dry and thoroughly incur- poratddvwith the sausage meat. murder --murder, I tell you. There's the law!" "Who's ter know?" • The torch flickered out. Sir Julius heard a deep chuckle away to his left and realized anew his utter helplessness. Terri rifted, he tried other tactics. "Look here! I'll give you all the money I have on me if you'll only lead me out of this. I have about seventy pounds in notes and some loose change, That surely would be of use to you?" in that same mist, thicker on the higher moorland, Sir Julius Rosen- baum floundered about, hopelessly lost. He had seized a free afternoon in order to inspect his new property, A visit to the Fosters to let them know exactly where they stood with regard to the law had taken up Tore time than he had bargained for, and it was already dusk when he left the farm. The fools, persistent in their Weeding, had kept him waiting, and this was the result. He cursed them heartily as he pull- ed his foot out of the sticky ooze in which he found himself. He began to realize with something like dismay that he had done that many tines during the pant quarter of an hour. He paused to consider the situation, and' found that both his feet were rapidly being sucked under. Panic gripped him. He tried to jump but. was held down as in a vice. He had to work his feet out slowly and with difficulty, and once free he kept moving about so as not to be caught. a second time. He began to remem- ber stories which he had read - of men who had perished in quicksand's and bogs. It was an unpleasant way of dying. It took a long time. One struggled frantically, helplessly,; Suddenly his foot sank almost up to the knee and he let out a cry of despair. To his intense relief there came an answering hail. "Help!" he cried. "I'm trapped in this !confounded bog and can't get out, It is Sir Julius Rosenbaum. Come quickly, A light flashed dimly, and pres- ently a bent, misshapen figure loam ed up. In the .glare refleeted by the White pall Sir Julius saw a pale, ex- pressionless face; dark, unfathom- able eyes stared unblinkingly in his direction. "It's a miracle ye're alive,' name PARTED FOR MANY YEARS, RADIO BRINGS TOGETHER ERST- WHILE PLAYMATES -BBC OFFICIAL "VISITS CANADIAN STUDIQS CHUBALD8N TO PLAY MOZART'S "ILL SERAGLIO" Years ago in bonnie Scotland, a brae lad and brae lass; romped hither and thither through the heather, as devoted as two children could be. Together they sang in the juvenile choir of the little Baptist Church at. Bo'ness. Then they parted. The lad was who Davie Thomison and he cam's to Canada with his parents. The lassie stayed in Bo'ness for a while . , A month or so ago, David' Thom- son, director of the "Brunswick Singers" quartet of "Fundy Fan- tasy," presented his own arrange- ment of "Trees" to the eastern and midwest network of the Commission. In Windsor Ontario, by her fire- side sat Mina Due, now Mrs. Mina Bell, and she heard Mr. Thomson's name announced. Time stopped in its flight. Her thought flew back to Scotland. Back 26 years, in fact, to the days when She played with a wee Davie. She wrote to the quartet leader to compliment him on his`fine arrange- ment and to inquire as to his natal land. A reply was soon forthcoming and it was not long, an learning they were the ;playmates of old, before the pair commenced a regular corres- pondence. Many and varied are the items of ccmmon interest of days past which they share, "Ah! Now ye're talkin'. Hand ov- er thein notes and let me feel 'em." The sudden wolfish cupidity in the mans voice reassured the financier He smiled with relief and began to survey the possibilities of the situ- ation. After all, the fellow was blind. Why throw money away? He need only hand over a few pound notes and say they were of high de- nomination. But Blind Harry was too cunning for that. "Pass we yer wallet intact, and he quick about it," he commandeg, harshly. "No montcey tricks. Re- ntennber-I got ears like a bat's. T c'n 'ear yer heart beatin'. Now!" The torch flashed out and Sir Julius handed over the wallet. He reflected with malicious satisfaction that he could tackle the rogue once they reached the road. But once more Blind Harry woo too cunning for him. The torch went out yet again. Sir Julius' strained his ears but could hear nothing. "You wouldn't desert me, now?" he cried, hoarsely. "No -I keeps my word. I'm just puttin' yore wallet on the ground. Ye see -ye might want it back when we are safe on the road again, but I can come back 'ere to fetch it. Now, fake a hold of me coat, and fol - ler me!" Gulping with relief, Sir Julius humbly ,obeyed. They trudged along without exchanging a word, twisting and turning, their feet most of the time ankle deep in the sticky ooze. At last they reached a fence and clambered over into the road, Faintly in the distance sounded three blasts on a motor horn. The signal was repeated, and with a sud- den movement Sir Julius jerked the torch out of the blind man's hand, "You won't want this again to- night," he snarled. "You can get an- other with the money you robbed from me .. . but hark ye .my man: I'm going to make inquiries and it won't be my fault if you're not made to smart for this night's work." But Blind Harry only chuckled as the financier marched off into the mist, for nestling comfortably in an inner pocket of his coat was a thick- lywadded,; expensive looking4 mor- occo -bound wallet. Next morning there was something like consternation in Rose' Farm Cottage when Sidney ,Hallefort, firm in his resolution, announced his de- parture for Lonodn" on urgent busi- ness. In vain the Fosters pleaded with him to stay even a little white longer; Hallefort was adamant. "How can we possibly thank you enough, who were already so deeply in your debt," kindly Betty Foster almost wept. "Now we owe you everything; our home, our future happiness, everything!" "Yes," added Jack - Foster, fere verity. "And young Sidney's future, too, don't forget that. He'll miss you sorely!" "Young Sidney!" smiled Halle - fort, unexpectedly finding himself at a loss for words. "I -I'm glad for his sake." He shook' hands all round, kissed feature that he announces famous personalities and it was learned that all of them are paid a fee. In mast Instances the fee is returned for a charity fund conducted by BBC.
