NOTICE TO CREDITORS THE PROPHET'S ADDRESS (Continued from last week) li again observed the pool, where a dreadful commotion was taking. place. For a full five minutes 'the water heaved and boiled, then abruptly cleared,' and 1 found myself gazing on a stretch of deserted highway. Yet there was something familiar about it. The Bluevale road just outside of Wingham, in the vicinity of Wingham Junction. As I looked I saw an object careen wildly around the turn at the Diag- onal Road and race madly towards Bluevale. As it neared me it began to take shape, materializing into a mot- orcycle with a uniformed rider. As it neared the Junction the rider seem- ed to lose control, and the motorcycle swayed alarmingly. Just before it reached the railway tracks it swerved, shot across the road with undimished speed, hurdled the ditch, crashed through a picket fence and carne to a crashing ' stop on. the front verandah, while the late ride continued, his speed unabated, through the front •door. Even as he disappeared from sight I heard a voice from the interior of the house say, in surprised tones. "Why Jack, you're slow getting here today!" This scene was beyond my com- prehension. I turned to Mr. Bigelow for an explanation. Smilingly, he said. "You see, Jack Fortune is now a motorcycle policeman patrolling his beat from Wingham to the Jnuction. You have no idea what a sense of security his presence gives to people living in the neighbourhood. But woe betide any person whom he catches loitering around the tracks. He listens to no excuse but immediately sum- mons then before Judge Campbell." "Campbell? I said. "Yes, John Campbell. You remem- ber him?. He heard the call of the Bar, and as a result is now supreme judge in the Wingham Police Court You should see how dignified he looks in his black robe and white wig." "Oh, and speaking of the Bar, Elgin Coutts heard the call too, and as a result, he is now the .head bartender of the Town Hotel. Probably he was influenced by his early training in the milk business. "By the way," Mr. Bigelow went on, "It might interest you to .know that two of you old friends are operating the town hotel. Lil Waller and Jelin Preston. They say that Lil's cooking. draws tire, boarders from far and near. Why John has got so fat on it that you would hardly recognize him!" "Now show ne what' has become of Donald Fortune." Mr. Bigelowe bowed his head, tears streaming from his eyes. "I can't," he moaned. "Please don't ask me to tell you that. But—the pool will reveal all." The pool bubbled slowly and mournfluly now. Presently it cleared, and I beheld a sad, sad scene. A .street -corner, the ' corner of Broadway and Forty -Second, in Wingham. Crowd were hurrying past and on the corner stood a shabby, stooped -over old mean, disconsolately dragging battered chords from a viol- in tucked under his chin. Alas. It was i Donald. But he was not alone is his misery. Beside him stood a ratherstout old gentleman. On one hand lie held a tin cup which he shook hopefully from time to time. \Niter the other hand he held a placard on which was printed in straggling letters. "Help the Poor." In a wheezy voice he was singing that pathetic old ballad "Blow the Ivfan Down." In spite of the ravages of time I recognized that voice - Carman He In the matter of the estate of Frances V.

"Now let me vision Harold Skeld- in;:.,,: The pool bubbled andwhistled mer- rily. Then 1 was gaaing,into a farm- yard, amid all the old familiar farm sounds. As _I looked, a man strode around the corner of the barn, : Whist- ling merrily, his straw Tat was push- ed jauntily back on hisheadand he carried a fork over his shoulder. "Harold is .now a scientific farmer," said Mr. Bigelowe. "He has taken over the farm which belonged to Mr, Field and is now running things on a purely scientific basi%. His latest pro- ject is that of crossing his hens with parrots, in order that they may be able to notify him when they have laid an egg." "How interesting," I said. "But say —I've forgotten George Wheeler." Mr. Bigelowe's face was wreathed in smiles. "George has led a truly lurid car- eer. He is now sole owner of the combined night club and speakeasy tip on Broadway — you know, where Ed. Williams' restaurant used to be. The police raided the place the Other night but George escaped out the back door. ]3y the way, you :will remember some of his employees. Janet Ruttan, Alberta MacLean and Anna Chittick are three of his hostesses, and Ross MacKay is George's gunman and pri- vate bodyguard. Oh, yes, and Ken. Murray is the bouncer. Then you used to know George's private bootlegger, Dwight Reid. George's life is certainly scarlet," "Now," said Mr. Bigelow, "would you vision your class -room as it is at the present moment?" I assented. Mr. Bigelowe gave me a drink from a bottle labelled 1935, and'I.again looked at the pool. • I was gazing in tlrough. a window of Fifth Form. Modern History was still in session. I could see my earth- ly body sitting there at my desk, the head pillowed an the arms. Even as I looked Iv[iss McGregor addressed it with: "McKay, give an outline of three Socialistic Theories of the nineteenth` century." I turned in alarm to Mr. Bigelowe. "Quick!" I gasped. "I must return before they discover the truth!" Even as I spoke, a cloud drifted down be- side rue. I climbed aboard and wav- ing good-bye to Mr. Bigelowe was in a moment scudding swiftly over the ocean. ,Almost at once I would see Wingham loom out of the hori- zon, the han'ds of the town clock pointing at twenty-two minutes past three O'clock.` I glided over the High Let us pass from that sad scene. "Tell me," I said, "what has be- come of those two inseparable;;; June Buchanan and Marion Mitchell." Mr. Bigelowe indicated the pool. It was already clearing. I was looking into a great building filled with row on row of clattering machinery. My gaze fell upon a door lettered "Priv- ate -Managers' .Office," Even as I looked it opened and through it I could see two people seated at a.desk' almost hidden from sight by piles of papers which littered: everything. I recognized the two managers im- mediately—Marion and June. June's glasses were rakishly pttshed back oil her forehead and Marion's nose Was decorated with a large smudge of ink. They were frantically reading notices, scribbling notes on bits of paper, and handing them to the office boy who was running back and forth from one room to the other. The office boy 1 recognized at once-'-Wi1f. Pickell. "Yousee," said lir. Bigelowe, "they are how operating the Wingham Ad- vance-Times. Their., efforts with the Journal of W.H,S, ciieouraged .them to greater things and they are tsow. sok owners of the world's largest teivspa;per." This, indeed, was a fine sight.
