its Paris inspiration in many import-
ant ways. The dashing 'itt!e collar
buttoned at the neck, the ahirrings at
the shoulders, the pocket treatment
the slashed and buckled belt, and long
full sleeves. An inverted plait at each
side is held` in pace with a row of
-round buttons, and provides a youth-
ful flare. The collar is convertible
and may be worn turned back to form
revers. No. 1301 is in sizes 34, 86, 38,
40 and 42 inches bust. Size 36 bust

Perfume Makers.
More than any other blooms, fra-
grant ones find a way to our hearts,
whether we are young or• old. Yet fra-
grance is difficult to d'efi'ne, -so intang-
ible and immaterial it is, • It eludes
and escapes us and yet it is the quality
offlowers by which we best remember
them. Their perfume is their genius:
Not the least wonder about perfume is
that it can be collected and treasured
—that the fragrance of a rose garden'
may be bottledfoe-use in future years.
Because of this, perfume making is a
great industry, • with its famous
centres.
Perfumes of course can be built up
in a laboratory. Their chemical com-
position is ,mown and 'with the help
of test tubes and crucibles the scent of
rose or violet or lavender can be pro-
duced,. But that after all is a dismal
substitute for the alchemy of 'a rose
garden or of lavender fields at dawn.
The French are the world's, expert
perfumers The little town of Grasse
tucked away In the Maritime Alps. is
the most famous centro of the Indus-
try. There are gardens everywhere
with millions of .flowers for the making
of ecent. The quantities are indeed
stupendous. During September it -is
said that anything up to a thousand
tons of jasmine, lavender, 'aspic and
tuberose blossoms are collected and
distilled. The average weight of blos-
soms. gathered in a single aulnmer is
somewhere about five thousand tons.
Several million flowers are required to
make a ton, so the total number of
flowers may be anything up to fifty
thousand millions.
Those warm, eheltered .Alpine elopes
are then the home of flowers whose
scents are gathered.andexported to

I thought, "now to tea her the
truth," She could do me no harm.
She might carry a weapon, but I was,
ready for her. .Perhaps to save her
but, I don't know why, my cour-
age failed nte, or rather I realized
that it was no good. Behind this
month forehead lay an idea which
had eaten up every other impu:se.
There was no moving her; I knew
only too well how strongly women
hold to an idea when they pleases only,
one. So, instead, we talked of the
brilliant night, where now the moon
hung low, like a pan of paEiil jade.
I found in Sylvia an unexpected poetic
strain. She saw the future, •viten her
cause had triumphed, as one when
mankind would no longer suffer, when
no woman would weep, when no beast
would be overladen.. It -vas mad and
beautiful, this dream. At last I
couldn't bear it any more, and, turn-

you're so -lovely. 'I think you're the

time to mind, we people. We shan't

What's the good of it, anyway?"
Indeed, what was the good of it?
We went silently up the stops into

"Good night," murmured Sylvia, ex-
tending her hand.
I helped her in: '"Don't -go yet."
"I must. Good night." She snatched

pressed upon my lips a violent, a des-.

thusiasm and fortitude.
I slept badly.' The violent caress
disturbed me; I don't think I loved
Sylvia really; I don't think so now;
now that another .. , but this I must

was so intense that I did not know
what I wanted to do. Indeed, it was
only when I reached Mivakt's, a few

not go on, that for a moment I had
been bewitched, but that even for het

A never -failing source of interest

fortress, we ask ourselves, intuitively,
that so obsessee us -that makes us
feel re) small in contrast? It is the
gray stone ramparts, the yawning
moats, or the guns that frown so
*threateningly? Is IL beautiful Duuf-
erin Terrace, with its stately Chateau
Frontenac? Is it the venerable halls
of Laval, er the many .Imposing re-
Ilgtous edifices; the architectural
splendor of its houses of parliament,
or the towering Citadel that Commands
its topmost.heigbts, or, perchance, the
atmosphere of medievalism that clings
to It in epite of oenturtes of progress?
No, it is none of these; they are
merely incidental—embolaishment, as
et were, on a finished canvas•. It is the
rock itself that is transcendental, over-
shadowtng all else—the rock that,

"But you called me No. 51"
I explained; her eyes were full of
horror. She was like a little''beast
than is trapped. Only after a moment
did she say:"But what became of the
real No. 9?" ,
"I -don't know. • I suppose he was
late. When we arrived there was no-
body to meet him. I suppose he went
back to the F. Committee."
"flush!" she cried. "Don't! Don't
eay'that aloud!" Then she realized
the 'situation. "I begins to 'understand.
You ere,one of the gilded minions; of,
'the 'tyrants; the enemies. You took
advantage of my difficulty. You're a
cad!" -
"Indeed, Sylvia," .I replied, rather
nettled, "you're .a strange Daniel to
come to judgment over nee, you, a pro-
fessionnal.murderess." I was rather
rude, but one does not like being called
a cad.
"Oh, •words!" she 'replied with a
sneer. `-"The only thing that 1 care
about is that yon, a man of your kind,
should know our plans. Of 'course
you'll go to the ponce. Why don't you
have me arrested?"
"I'm sure I don't know. I ought to.
But you're too attractive." •
"You make me sick. Men are al-
ways like that to women, I suppose.
Oh, what am I . going to do? Yoii

shall not have you arrested; you can
go free if you like; and I hop this will
be a warning to you, that you won't
go on with this madness."
Then' Sylvia went to the heart of
the question "0 don't care what hap-
pens to me, but I care what happens
to the comrades. You know our secret.
Very were You'll ..." She laughed:
"Feel, that you are! Wily,did you
meddle with such things? Don't you
understand that within a day, whether
I am arrested or not, within a day, you .s
will be removed?" Her tone was ad,
but it grew angry: "I don't suppose
that in another day you wDl be alive."
"Oh yes, I assure you I shall be
alive. You; friends won't touch me.
It's too . risky. Don't laugh.. Do not
imagine that I've come -here without
a- weapon: Last night, when I left
you at Lansdowne Passage, I was,
well, half crazy with -Iove for you. But
I still had, myself
curiosity. I toad myse
that your slipper could not have been
taken very far by the dog. Ile would
tire of his game. So I went back."
"You went back?"
"Yes•"
"But I went back!" she 'shrieked in
agony,„ "I had to find it, I had to, I
would have gone to find it if ,they
hadn't taken us into the house . I
dared not tell the comrades.' I hope*
to find it , but I couldn't find it
. Oh, I went half mad ... I . ,
cduadn't findfindit."
"No wonder," I replied, "for I found
it.'' -
"Where?
"In Half Moon Street"
"Oh, what a fool I- was! I didn't
think the. dog would have gone that
way. I went up Down Street. - Oh,
what shall I do ?"-
"Nothing, Sylvia, nothing. When I
found your slipper, laugh at me if you
;ince,' I kissed it: As 1 looked at it
close-y,`under the sole I found a docu-
ment, of which here ie a copy."
She took it and dropped it at once.
"What are you going to do?"
"Nothing. You will iiot deny that
this is a complete list of the names
and addresses of the members of the
F, Committee, More exactly they ate
not neimes, but numbers. Still, only.
the addresses matter, for I expect
your friends aro already suspects. I
shad not have you arrested, but I have
posted the document already to my

be? Will you leave me, unmolested? or
will you gaol• all your friends? Will
you let our foreign yisitor alone? or
do you prefer to hang? I w!1 do
nothing ... if you do-nothing to me'."
Tears formed in her eyes. She made
a helpless gesture: "You have beate'u

escape, and you, too, must escape, I

will turn us -from our purpose."

pralt•ie landscape is taking place in
Western Canada as a result of the co.
operative -tree -planting work being carr
eletl bn by the Forestry Branch of the
Department of •th•e Interior•. This
change' is particculai;ly • striking to
tames who were familiar with condi-
tions as they existed in Manitoba, Sas-
icetchewan and Alberta some tweutY-
>lve"years or thirty years age. Thous-
ands of shorter -belts have been estab-
lished--from seedlings, cuttings, and
transplants distributed ,from the nine
eery stations at Indian Head and Suth-
erland, Saskatchewan,and the work
has grown to such proportions that
during the speing-o1 1926 over 5,500,0.00
seedling's and cuttings ;of 'such .varie-
ties as maple, ash, caragane, poplar,
and willow were pent out. In addition
1;o these broadeaf varieties over 50,000
evergreen spruce and pine trees were,.
distributed at nominal cost for genre'
farm planting and about 60,000 tor
planting_ on forest reserves in IVlani,
toba aucl Saskatchewan.
The progress of this important' work
will be better realized by a brief state-
ment of the results obtained s -nos it
was inaugurated in 1901. The first dis-
tribution consisted of 58,800 seedlings
supplied to 47 farmers in .Manitoba 1.
and the Northwest Territories. 1d
1902 this was increased to 466,000
plants to 496 farms, The demand
grew • rapidly in subsequent years and
in 1916 the number sent out had reach-
ed 4,460,000. Since then the annual
distribution has continued ,ebetween
four and a bait million and five and a
half million, ths.total distribution for
the twenty-five year period being 87.-
205,00b
7.205,000 trees to 80,300 fanners scat- -
tered over the three Prairie Provinces.
.Two Distribution Stations.
During recent years the distribution
has been carried ou from two stations,
Indian Head making shipments to
southern Manitoba; Saskatchewan, and
Alberta, and Sutherland to the north-
ern districts. Careful check is kept of
all material sent out until the planta-
tions can he considered as fairly well
established and no trees are alloted to'
an applicant until inspection ant✓in-
quiry indicate that land has been p-ro-.

ceive the- youug trees, In most cases
special plans are prepared in the office
of the Tree Planting Division at In-
dian Bead during tiro whiter Limo for -
the guidance of the it dividual ilianters
in the spring,` This season some -3,257
plans were so prepared and during the.
summer the Inspector wi,'1 visit those
