CHAPTER XLVh—(Cont'd.)
Cones resting place was on a sun-
ny hillside under a blossoming white
gum in which the bees hummed drows-
ily in the spring time and through
which the green parrots flashed all
the year. It was good to think that
Steve would draw his last breath in
freedom, and then sleep there under
the blue sky. But for her, there would
be no freedom, no open spaecs. Life
had become a prison from which there
was only one gate—Death; and that
she would not be able to open because
she was a hostage for other lives.
Dan's and Steve's—perhaps Davey's.
Cameron's buggy rounded a turn
in the road.
Mrs. Ross and Jessie were in it, and
there was a man's figure beside their's
—only one though.
The horse, moving at her slow,
steady jog -trot, drew nearer.
Deirdre saw clearly the man who
was driving. It was Davey. The
Schoolmaster was not with him.
A panic seized her. She flew out
to the road, the horse stopped auto-
matically.
"Where's father?" she cried.
Davey stared at her, He scarcely

"Hasn't he conte?" she asked.
"No," he said slowly.
He got down from the buggy. His
heart ached at the sight of her. He
hardly knew how to speak. Ile moved
to take her hands.
She shrank from him,
"Why didn't he come?"
"Because . Oh, Deirdre, it breaks
my heart to tell you," he broke out.
Don't look at me like that. I did all
I could, but it was not good. Some
cursed brute gave information—"
"Oh," she whispered. "It was that
then!"
And after a moment:

"Yell"
His eyes were all tenderness and
pity for her.
"When, Davey?"
"Just before we were leaving, four
days ago. Don't look like that, Deir-
dre! I won't leave ;a stone unturned
to get him back. And I promised him
that we—"
She laughed, a strange, cracking
little laugh.
"Deirdre!"
He was perplexed and hurt.
"Don't come near me!"
She turned away from him and ran
nto the house under the swinging
ign of the black bull with red -rimmed
eyes.
Davey attempted to follow her. He

"What the hell's she doing there?"

Mrs. Ross and Jessie eyed each

or a minute. Then the elder woman

"We're always glad to do anything
for you, Mrs. Cameron, dear," Jessie
said softly.
Its a queer, heartless girl Deirdre
is, to play fast and loose with the love
of. a fine fellow like Davey," Mrs. Ross
said, when Jess was outside setting
their bundles and baskets into the
cart.
"Oh, she wouldn't do that -Deir-
dre," Mrs. Cameron replied. "It's

to it"

sighed. "Poor child. Perhaps I'm
spiteful about it, Mary. But maybe
now that she is out of the way, Davey
may think of my Jessie again."
Davey's mother smiled sadly.
be sorry for any woman he
married but Deirdre, for she has the
whole of him -heart and soul," she
said.
"Oh well, it's a pity!" Mrs. Ross
kissed her good-bye. "Jess had hetter
snake up her mind to have Buddy
Morrison, then, and that's what I've
been telling her this long time. He's
a good lad, very fond of her, and been
wanting to marry her for the last five
years."
When Jess and her mother had gond,
driving off in their high, jolting
buggy, Davey and Mrs. Cameron went
indoors together.
He had aged considerable' since she
last saw him. It was a stern, etrange
face to her, this her boy's. There were
sorrow, self -repression, a bitter real-
ization of life and what it means in
heartache and disappointment, in his
expreaslonj something of power and
assurance too.
She. was wondering how she cou
tell him, coveringhim with: tende
pitiful glances, and praying• that
would not leave her, that no hu
might come to him, when he ask
suddenly:
"Have you seen anything of Del
dre mother?"
He had been moving restless
about the room, lifting things fro
their place on the mantelpiece a
putting them back again.
She called him to her and, puttin
her hands on his head, told him wh
Mrs. Ross had said.
Davey's face hardened and white
ed slowly. He put her , hands' aw
from him and wheeled unsteadily fro
the room. She heard hien go acro
the yard, and saw him stumbling u
the narrow' track to the trees on t
far side of the hill.
CHAPTER xLVII,
Mrs. Cameron was feeding he
chickens when she thought she heard
someone calling. She listened, and
of

trees that whispering
scaught.
her ear.
The mild light of the evening linger-
ed about her. Her eyes lay on the hill
that rose with a gentle slope beyond
the yard, the barns and stable, and
a score of low -built brushwood sheds.
Mists were beginning to gather among
the trees that fringed the top on either
side. Davey had gone up among those
trees.
The sound of her name called faint-
ly again. disturbed her. She looked
down towards the road that' wound
uphill out of the forest. It was wraith-
like in. the twilight, the long white
gate that barred it from' the paddock
about the house, growing dim. The
gum saplings of two or three years'
growth, with their powdery -grey
leaves pressing on the far side of the
fence behind the barn, shivered as
the surface of still water shivers when
something stirs beneath it Her eyes
were directed towards the centre of
the almost imperceptible movement.
Someone called her, faintly, whis-
peringly.
Going towards the fence, she saw
a wan face and wide eyes among the
leaves, Tho lines of a long, dark dress
went oft' into the shadows among the
trees. ,
"Deirdre," she cried.
The girl came towards her. Her
dress was draggled and torn. There
was a red line on her cheek where a
broken branch had caught and
scratched it.
"Where's Davey?" she asked.
"Deirdre, what has happened?"
Mrs. Cameron recognized a tragic
urgency in her face. "Come in, you're
exhausted. You don't• mean to say
you've walked from the Wirree."
She took her hand and led her into
the kitchen. The fire was sending,
long ruddy beams of light over the
bricked floor, glimmering on the rows
of polished metal covers on the walls,
and the crockery on the wooden dress-
er at the fax end of the room. It was
very homely and peaceful, Mrs. Cam-
eron's kitchen. She pushed Deirdre
gently into the big armchair by the
fire.
` Sit there, dearie, till I get you a
hot drink," she said.
Deirdre sat very still, gazing before
her.
"It's this marriage with McNab. is
too much for her," Mrs. Cameror.
thought.
"Oh, child, why did you do .it?
What could have driven you to it?"
she asked.
The shadow of a slow and subtle
smile crept for a moment about Deir-
dre's lips and vanished again,
"If only you'd have told me your
trouble," Mrs. Cameron cried. "I
might have been able to hell] you."
"Oh no, you wouldn't," Deirdre said.

er the, apples,- then sprinkle with
enough sugar to sweeten. Sprinkle
the surface with cinnamon, dust with
flour, dot with butter and place at
once in the oven to bake slowly. •
LEMON PIE made by this old recipe
is especially good. Mix together one
cupful of hot water, one cupful of

THE PORT OF
QUEBEC
'5
The Port of Quebec, in the 'leasorp
which ended in December experienced
a brisk activity, and anticipates a yet
busier year le 1923. 'Various factor&
have contributed of late to increase
the business 'of the port and cause
greater attention to be directed upoi;<
it from .all parts of the' continent. Que1-
bec Port, on the St. Lawrence, sharinl
Canada's Atlantic traffic in the mum
mor season with the Port of .Montreal,
Is. at the head of navigation for ves-
I eels of the largest draught, deep
enough to accommodate the largest
passenger and -freight vessels afloat..
The port is within siX days' run from
Liverpool and is five hundred "mile
nearer Liverpool than New York.
Quebec is in direct touch by rail
oomtnunication with the South. Shore
of the St, Lawrence and the United
States, Its port:faetlities may be sum-
marized as follows: --modern landing
sheds containing 528,000 square feetof
fiodr -area; deep-wator bertha for 28
vessels drawing up to 40 feet, at low
tide; a •50 -ton floating crane; dock and
'locomotive cranes available at all
times for -handling cargoes;; one gratia
elevator with capacity of 250,000 bush-
els;: fireproof concrete grain elevator
with a capacity of -2,000,000 buehela.
with grain' galleries and conveyors;
loading capacity of 60,000 bushels pelt
hour; two graving docks capable at'
taking the largestvessels.
Shipping and Export.
Export business through. the Po$
of Quebec in the past season amount.
ed In value to $12,984,029 and impor
trade to $16,629,548. The, port in, the
course -.of tite season -received 3,888,-
763 bushels of grain, of which It ship-
ped out 3,602,728. The total "number
of vessels which entered during the
year was 601, of' tonnage amounting to
8,888,600. Of these, 154 of 139,566
tons were coasting vessels, inward
from sea; Si. of 104,488 tons, coasting
vessels from Montreal and.'the' Great
'Lakes; 259 of 2,473,273 tens, ocean
steamers inwards from sea; and 107
of 871,205 tons, ocean steamers out-
wards, from sea via Montreal and Que-
beo.
During the 1922 season there was
ample evidence of the belief in the in-
creasing prestige of Quebec Port in
the elaborate program of extensions
and improvements undertaken and car-
ried through. Considerable dredging
was carried out to widen. certain chan-
nels; the efficiency of the grain eleva-
tor was improved and alterations and
additions made; railways were im-
proved; berth accommodation extend,
ed; and provision made for an in-
creased passenger traffic confidently
expected and in fact indicated. Par-
ticularly significant is this extended
arrangement for passenger travel arid
the arrival of immigrants, anticipating
the needs of an immediate future rath-
er than present needs.
The City of Quebec exerts many ap-
peals upon the people of the American
continent, and its port -and facilities
aro only coming to he' truly appreci-
ated in their real importance. As the
port of disembarkation in the summer •
season for immigrants front the Bri-
tish Isles and European countries, it
is of interest to those across the At-
lantic, and -whilst ranking only'second
to Montreal, it is, in the growing fav-
or of the St. Lawrence route to Eur-
ope, coming to attract greater num-
bers of travellers 'from the Unite
States, many of whom sojourn for a
while in Its most modern and commo-
dious hotel, the Chateau Frontenao,
Blind Road -Maker.
British roads aro second to none,.
and Britons owe their predominance to
three men who lived. as the beginning
of the last century.
The first was John. Metcalf, who, al-
though totally blind, was a,sueeessful
road and bridge builder. He improved
the old roads cut of all knowledge and,
built new ones where there had been
swamps and marshes.
He was followed by Thomas Tel-
ford, who originated the system of
making roads .consisting of different
sized stones placed on,a level surface:
The third road -maker was 'John
Macadam, whose •name hes, long been
associated with the method of road -
making which he invented. This was
to employ broken stones plaited on a
drained and flattened foundation. The
weight of traffic soon caused the edges
of these's'tones to unite and terra a
solid surface.
These' inen rebuilt the old Roman
roads which hail fallen into disrepair,
and made Britain the finest country in
the world for rapid communication.
She "Why was it yrou took such a
liking to me, George?"
He "'Well, I wanted a woman who
was a good housekeeper, and all my
friends said you were a fast worker."
The 'British Empire's wounded in
the wo]Id war, totalled 2,121,906 men,
