She felt, for a second, as if she could pour out her troubles to him— as if he would listen patiently and give her of his wisdom and strength. It would be easier—she was ashamed of the thought, but it held true—be- cause he could not see. Almost— elle could tell him of herself and of Monte. "There's such a beautiful woman in you!" he explained passionately. With her heart beating fast, she. dropped back in her chair, There was the old ring in his voice—the old masterful decision that used to frighten her. There used to be mo- ments when she was afraid that he might command her to come with him as with authority, and that she would go. "I've always known that you'd learn some day all the fine things that are in you—till the fine things that lay ahead of you to do as a woman," he ran nn. "You've only been waiting; that's all." Ile could not see her cheeks—she was thankful for that. But the wonder was that he did not hear the pounding of her heart, He spoke like this, not knowing of this last week. "You remember all the things I said to you—before you left?" "yeir "I can't say them to you new. I must wait until 1 get my eyes back.

"I didn't mean I could listen now. Only I didn't want you to think I was so selfish that if it were possible to share the light with you I—I wouldn't share the dark too," "There wouldn't be any dark for me at a:11 if you shared it," he answered gently. Then she saw his lips tighten. "We mustn't talk of that," be said. "We mnstil't think of it." There Was some hope for Peter.

Sim- mons had stopped at the little front gate, her curiosity attracted by the sight of all the belongings of the Brown family scattered about the yard in the bright spring sunshine, "Do you remember the lecture we heard on home -making last winter? I wrote down the little text and it has haunted me ever since: 'Have nothing in your home that you do not know to be useful and believe to be beautiful' Most people might suppose that I was just doing an extra house cleaning, but I am really having it out with my onm character, I say to something, "Are you useful?' and then I say to, myself, 'have you enough strength of mind to get rid of it?'" "I had to be feeling pretty first be- fore I could do it, but you know as well as I do that there is no sense in keeping a lot of stuff no one ever uses," ?1i's. Brown continued. "I dust that chair, and we all stumble over it but no one ever sits in it, The old what -not is just a catch-all and is only in the way when we want to get near the window." Mrs. Brown was going critically from one article to another. "Now this little table with the drawers can be painted and will make a convenient place for my sew- ing things, but that rickety old stand is of no earthly use." "But why did you bring everything out here?" asked Mrs. Simmons. "It was easier to begin with a clean slate. Goodness knows, I'm tired of dusting all tlAi Tittle gimcracks, and 'I'm tired of seeing all the confusion. I took seventeen silly things off the mantel -piece. I am going to put back the clock and an old pair of candle- sticks that look lovely, now that they are polished. It rests me just to think about it, Then I've taken down all the mussy old calendars and such t things that were tacked up on the well, The hardest thing for me to know is what pictures I ought to keep, but I am euro 'the plain wall is better than the trash, that was stuck around;" "Have you had the 'sitting -room papered, Mrs, Brown?" "Yes with one of those lovely, al roost plain papers the lecturer showed us. I've had it put right up to the ceiling, without any herder, You can't imagine -'hat a .relief it is to be i of that ugly, clerk, big -figured rid gYr , paper, 'Phe room 13 eo• much more cheerful, and it looks larger, for some reason. Come in and see it." The empty room certainly offered an inviting beginning. "Take off your hat, Mrs. Simmons, and let us see what we can do vyith . the furniture. Don't you think this blue Scotch rug is pretty with the tan wall? I am so glad I got it, instead of that red Axminster Jones tried to sell me. The floor locks pretty bad, doesn't it? I'd like to have a hard- wood border outside the rug now, so I have sent for some of that patent floor covering and wild have it fitted all around the edges, conking well under the rug, which lies in the centre. I chose a good wood color to look well with the blue rug mud harmonize with, the paper." They went back into the yard and Mrs. Brown stopped before a shabby, comfortable old sofa, "Are you use- ful? Yes, Are you beautiful? No -o, except thdt there is something beautiful in being so .comfy.' I know —a fresh -looking slip 00000'will fix you. If I can fit covers to the whole family I guess I can do it for a piece of furniture, I'm just crazy to show what I can do with slip covers and fresh paint!" The two women envied the sofa in- side. "Now that old what -not is out. of the way we can have the sofa be- fore the big windows with my little sewing -table at this end.. Next whi- ter we'll have it face the fireplace, with its back against the big table, so it will be convenient to the lamp and magazines." Every piece of furniture was chal- lenged in turn. Many were found wanting, Those that were saved were carried in and thoughtfully placed. Some were set aside for renewal by means of paint, but others were heroically discarded. "What are you going to do with them?" said 2(1i's. Simmons. To her frugal mind Mrs. Brown's wholesale elimination looked almost toasteful . "I am going to send theta to the Salvation Army, A lat'of the stuff we don't need can be fixed up so it will be useful for some one." Fina1'1y the two wom,cn• sat down to survey the result. "'Ilcl never know it was the 011Irle room," frankly admit- ted Mrs. Simmons. "But doesn't it look comfortable and restful?" Mrs, Brown sighed contentedly. "It certainly does, and before long the whole house is going to show the effect of the same kind of treatment," PEERLESS POULTRY FEN21E 19 Real Fence -Not Netting strongl7 inane and steed). sluiced—mating 11 a complete a barrier aealn,tlar-e animate as aril se small poultry.

T11e situation in this country, how- ever, has been materially changed, since 1110 first of the year. At that " time the International Sugar Com- mission of New York, which handles ' the raw sugar of this continent, al- locating and distributing the amounts in Canada and the United States, as -well as other countries, considered that there was sufficient sugar ini • Cuba to allow Canada S20,000 tons as against 400,000 imported ,last ,year,. As Canada last year exported 55,000 tons of refined sugar, her consumption was then 345,000 tons arid this year at 320,000 tons her supply would be reduced merely by 25,000 tons or G"%, which would 1101 have been a severe hardship upon anybody or made much disturbance in the trade, In addi- tion to this outlook the Commission 'expected to have a surplus of 700,000 toms to work on later, of which Canada's share evonld he 70,000 tons or 10%, so that before the year was out this country would have been sup plied, under former arrangements, with 45,000 tons more sugar this year then lest, Conaequently there 101(0 no necessity for the Food Board placing any restrictions upon the consumption of sugar in this country, in view of the fact that trans-Atlantic shipping was so taken up with other more vital cargoes that space could not be spared for sugar. Wheat, meat, munitions and men for the array are more im- peratively needed in Europe than even sugar, and there are not ships enough to carry everything. It was expected, however, that there would be.eleipping enough inthe coastwise trade of the United Stats to bring raw sugar from Cuba and the West Indies to New York and oth- er American points. Owing, how- ever, to the congestion at the wharves of the Atlantic Coast, the break down in railway transportation and the general and totally unexpected de- mand upon the American transporta- tion system generally, it has become a difficult matter to move the freight necessary for this country and the difficulty has not been overcome as yet. It was hoped that some ar- rangement, for bringing sugar direct from Cuba to Canadian ports, could have been effected but this attempt has had to be dropped. Shipping is not available, consequently the new sugar regulations. 3MAbals G THE BEAVER WORN. Writer of This Article Would Con script Them as Fire Rangers.
