"I've not packed a thing yet." He turned the carr. "We'll take, the river road." They made` a short de- tour, and then the river, silver -pale under the early starlight; shone out to them through the trees along its bank. Anne went back to their' farmer contention. "You and Aunt Mary! The very people who ought to be.glad- dest for me, the only ones I want to share with, and you're both bound and determined that you won't. It isn't right; it isn't 'kind! What makes you act so?" Louis Haynes'answered "slowly. "I don't mean to be unkind, but it's im- possible. I can't use your money, Anne, or let you use it for me. I just can't." "Oh," she cried, "I wouldn't cars if you'd any good reason. But it's only pride." Louis became exasperated in his tern. "Call it pride or anything you like. It's so." A jangling silence fell on them now, They were both full ,of things they wanted to say, argument, justifica- tion, but neither would venture. In- stinct warned them that they were on dangerous ground, near an open quar- rel, and they sheered away from it. Still, the mental distance between them widened. They were really quarreling without words. When they reached Mrs. Chaner's, Louis said abruptly,' "I won't come in. Good night. Write to ire when you can." And not even the kiss they exchanged or the touch of his arms about her melted their foolish young hearts. "Good night," said Anne. "Yes, I'll write." "He might have been nicer about it —he doesn't know how long I might have to be away," she thought as she went into the house. , "She might have been nicer about it —she doesn't know how long she might have to be away," was Louis' same reproach as be drove oil. Anne's indignation against him re- vived during the lonely train ride of the next day. He was just too pig- headed for words, she decided. He wasn't reasonable about anything. As if it was her fault all this money had been left her. Why, he acted as' if it was something to be ashamed of.. And she'd been anticipating it so, and was going to enjoy it so! Her meditation swelled her grievance. The journey was long, the trip was tiresome, necessitating two changes that she had to scurry to snake, and the close connection got on her nerves. But on the last part of her journey she relaxed a trifle, pushed Louis and his obstinacy into the back of her mind, looked about at her fellow travellers and thought of the new scenes awaiting her. She was to go to the late Andrew Thorne's own house, where he had lived alone save for a distant connection of his wife's, a Mrs. Torrance, who, acted as house- keeper and sometimes as nurse. This Mrs. Torrance—what would she be like! Ile. Fink, the man sent by the lawyers, had intimated that she was "difficult." Anne hoped this did -not mean that she was going to be disa- greeable and snippy. After all, she didn't belong in the house, and Anne did. Perhaps site was very fashionable and would think Anne looked countri- fied. Anne glanced in tie mirror at her reflection and wag reassured. Hee best brown' crepe, her new brown coat and hat were not expensive, but she knew their style was good. Only-- there nly—there was a woman who sat in the Pullman chair opposite who made her feel uneasy, she was so exquisite, so finished. Anne looked at her sample but somehow bewildering dress, her hat—plain little black thing, but its lines enticed the eye—her slim gray silken ankles and -buckled pumps, and when she slipped off, hes gloves she showed slender manicured hands, and. on the left one a square -cut emerald ring that reduced Anne to a pulp of admiring envy. It bewitched her. She had never seen anything so purely,' perfectly beautiful. She felt she. could have looked .at it forever. "I wonder how much it cost," she thought. "I wonder if I'm going to have enough money to buy one like it. I'd db with- out almost everything else if I could have a ring like that." She was still absorbed in the ring when the train slid into a suburban station and Mr. Fink boarded it. At sight of him she knew just how lonely and how nervous she was, hut he re assured -her, he was so casual, so friendly, in a neat impersonal elderly CURLING ONE OF CANADA'S Lovesight.

Older Plantations Now Fur- nishing Owners With Ma- terial for Fencing. During the season of 1926.the Forest Service of t'he' Department oO the In. tenor, through the forest nursery sta- tions at Indian Head and Sutherland, Senkatohewam,;sent out 5,512,425 little . trees for planting on prairie farms, and since the begfniling of this work in 1901 the total number" of trees ,so sent '!.' out has been a little over 87,500,000. The resulting' plantations are not part• of a wood -lot echome, the trees being usually set in strips' or'sheiter belts about the farm buildings, but a new idea is gained of the extent of the work when it is learned that the 1926._ plantations covered a little over 2,000 acres, and that the 1ota-1 plantings made since the inauguration of the scheme exceed in extent 32,000 acre's. Thirty-two thousand' acree represents an area fo fifty square miles or nearly a township and a halt. The planta-. tions referred to, if grouped thus by - themselves, would form but a,small patch in the immeneity'of our Middle West, but, as explaihed in the begin- ning, they are not "by themselvegs" in any sense but form pent of a vast echo -me, which has already made more homelike and more comfortable 80,300 homes, and given an artistic, cheerful touch to many rural sohool grounds in the P1oirie Provinces. Give Farmers a Start. The arm of the Department of the Interior hes been to give farmers a bbart so that once a plantation was 'es- tablished the seeds and cuttings from it could be used to begin other shelter belts. That this is the way in which the scheme has worked out is indi- cated by the fact that under the in- fluence of these eighty thousand orig- inal plantations the general apneas - ante of the prairie in many sections is gradually changing and on all sides • there are splendid examples of cosy farm homes, set amid well planned shelter -belts and surrounded by gar- dens containing bash and tree fruits. It has been demonstrated that, . by breaking the force of high winds and by conserving moisture, shelter -belts increase the production of the farm but they return a dividenk'1 a theesend- fold greater in the Increased comfort and enjoyment afforded by theur to the* farmer and his household. The shipments of 5,512,425 .seedlings and cu•tttngs in the spring of 1916 were distributed among 5,590 farms in Mani- toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, and during the season an increased stock•, of material was prepared for distribu- tion in 1927. Over 7,903,000 seedlings and •cuttings are all ready for packing to meet: the 6,200 applications which have been approved by the inspectors. Inspector Gives Advice, Under the conditions governing the distribution of this shelter -belt ma- terial anyfarmer living on the open prairies may secure a reasonable num- ber of seedlings and outt(ngs by utak. ing application .to the Tree Planting Dlvislon, Forest Service, Department of the Interior, Indian 'Head, Sas- katchewan. In order to get this .trees to plant in the epring of 1928 the a.p- plicetion must be sunt In before March 1, 19274 Duriug the summer of 1937 the ground on which the trees are to bo planted must be thoroughly sum mer -(allowed and an inspector will be sent to visit the farm of the applicant to see that this Is done and also to advise him in regard to the arrange- ment of the belts and'iretlro0s o;L planting and caring for the trees. During the summer of 1926. the farms of 11,200 agppiieants were Inspected. Many al these' had already planted trees during the past two or three years and reports indicate that in aplte. of the rather dry, het period in June and July the newly planted stock,has ' come along splendidly. This result' would not, have been possiirlo if the soil on which these trees were planted - hard not been well atinrnier-falbo'.yed the previous season. Many of the older plantations set ou!: fromfifteen to twenty years ago are now feenishlrrg their owners with considerable material, which can be thinned Out without 111 any wey' irljur- ing tho plantations and whfcb is suit- able for fence pests, rails, and sum- mer fuel.
