she mid presently. "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

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

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.
