Ante- lope performed her rumbling ramble through the groves of poplars and down the main road beyond the school, but then Cal turned her nose along a side trail and away from Plainville. He had decided that he could not face Minnie at present. She would read his secret in his eyes. He dared not face her. Nor would he talk with Reed. Af- ter two or three unsuccessful attempts to engage him in conversation the boy turned his attention to the more "re- ceptive ears of Antelope, and his talk from that time was such as a boy of eight may hold with an automobile two years his senior. It had to do with badger holes and deep prairie ruts and gentle reproof of the various millings with which Antelope made answer. The sun hung low over the prairies the clumps of willows threw their lengthening shadows across the trail; the grass took on its vivid ' evening livery of green, and still Cal held his aimless course as a boat adrift at sea, He was fighting, fighting. And as yet he did not know what he fought. He was fighting to get the enemy vis- ualized, to see clearly— It was dusk when they again drew up at the granary, although a halo of light still hung in the western sky and filtered dimly through the grateful cloud of smudge -smoke which filled the farmyard like a fog.

He reeled under the crash ,of that idea. 1 His lips were on fire; his tongue wallowed between them, cracked and .parched and tasteless, At the door ,he listened to Reed's regular breath- ing; caught the sound of it along with the ticking of his .watch and the ,thumping of his heart, Then he van- - tiered as far as the water trough and 'drank heavily from the iron cup that hung at the pump. The first mouth• ful was as colorless as night; he for- ced it down like solid food rather than water. But it revived him, and then he ` drank" refreshingly. He poured water on his head, on his wrists; he held it against his temples, he washed his hands beside the trough, and he , walked back to the granary steadied, strengthened, sane, He had a feeling of having been dragged back to life after an hour of death.

Jr. MITCHELL, DRUGGIST He undressed aiid went to bed, but as he lay thinking he began to realize that his saneness was more terrible than any insanity. More terrible be- cause it confirmed his insanity, Now, iviewing the matter clearly weighing. as a sane main, almost as an impartial man, he knew there could be no safe- tuuity in, that direction, Few people In Old Ontario who have not travelled through the north- ern part of the province realize that there is a territory lying north of New Liskeard and west of Cochrane that will in the near future become ono of the most important producing agricultural areas of the province. The country adjacent to the railways is now cleared' or being cleared to such an' extent that the settlers are no longer dependent upon their tim- ber' or pulp wood for revenue, but are now engaged in farming proper, Many farms, especially in the New Liskeard section, are entirely cleared. of bush and the while acreage is either under cultivation or in hay and pasture. Northland Produces MuchrHay. With the wonderful producing power of this new land there is an exceptionally rapid growth of vege- tation and hay is now being produced in such quantities that it is wit difficulty that a market can be foun for the entire production. So much • is this so that even this year in .Tune, stacks of 1924 hay may be seen as one travels along the railway. Set- as to where he was. His mind seem- ed, during the night, to , have gone scattering through the universe; now it came hurrying back from all the compass -points of time .and place to occupy its -accustomed citadel. As its units rushed in they arrayed them- selves in order and gradually be be- came able to think coherently. He pieced together the issue with Jack- son Stake; built up the two walls of their positions until all seemed about to collapse again. Then, in a panic, he thrust the keystone into place; the great central idea on which he had - slept; the conclusion that the world was not big enough for Reed and Jackson Stake. He saw it clearly now and knew that there was only one so- lution.... Besides it was fair. Jack- son Stake's life was surely smell enough compensation to exact in re- turn for Celesta's. (Continued Next Week) INDIRECT BENEFITS OF WEEK LY NEWSPAPER PUBLICITY Besides the widely -recognized dir- ect benefit that the town merchant receives through judicious advertis- ing fn the community weekly news- paper, says the Walkerton Telescope, there are indirect advantages which. are not generally recognized. For instance, many manufacturers are assistingtheir local dealers to market their product locally through nationally -placed' advertising in the local newspaper with .dealers' names attached, In placing thisadvertising the national advertisers are looking to the local retailer to do his part in aggressive publicityand are plac- ing it in local newspaperthat weal to them through their carrying ;al ready a good volume of live local ad- vertising. It' is newspapers of this character that are getting the bulk of the national advertising that is helping the local retailer to sell his product. Another benefit of live local adver- tising has to- do with the mail order situation. Mail order houses at the present time find that their catalogues run into big money, They have to plan carefully where they place them in order to get the best results. In studying a district, there are two things they consider chiefly. One is the buying powers of the community and the other consideration is the way in which the district is being served by its home merchants. This can be sized up most easily through the appearance 'of the local newspap- ers, , If the merchants • show indiff, erence and lack of enterprise in their advertisin the it d 1 ppor un y for- ga n ng a larger foothold by at aggressive flooding of catalogues and mail order advertising. This statement of die sittiation is riot mere theory, but can be verified by addresses on the subject which have been made by specialists in mail or- der advertising. The snail order sys- tem of advertising is expensive and they have to watch their step. The quickest and least expensive means of reaching the local field would, be through the local newspaper. The big city houses -realize that and would be in the country newspapers in a minute if they could get there, but time and again they have been turned down by rural publishers who in loyalty to their own community have refused tempting contracts, The live local 'dealer is justas quick as the avail order advertiser to recog- nize the value of his local medium and is makig the best of his oppor- stock raising as rapidly as circum- ltanees and conditions would permit. This is evidenced by the fact that between New Liskeard and Cochrane there are creameries at the following points: New Liskeard, Ramore, Earl - ton,• Matheson, Val Gagne and Cochrane. Ready Money Scarce With Settlers. As was the case with settlers in Old Ontario so it is in most cases with. settlers in Northern Ontario—they have very little ready cash as their earnings have been used in clearing the land consequently the Ontario Government is assisting the settlera financially in the building of cream- eries and in tie purchase of cows. Such assistance is being given oa business principles only, that is, the money for the building of creameries and the purchase of cows is being loaned to thesettlers at "a moderate rate of interest and under certain conditions. a�„ ,. I arc ase of. Cows. Briefly speaking, the new policy of the Department of Lands and Forestay through the Northern Development Branch, in co-operation with the De- " partment of Agriculture through the Live' Stock Branch, is as follows:—. Cattle ars to be purchased in ca; load lots only. ' ^ -r•, e e - -e•n 4 Settlers are to appoint a Represen- tative to select the animals, and are to authorize him to act on their be- half in such selection and in deciding as to .price. • Settlers are required to ;sign an application form to this effect agree- ing to give promissory notes antk liens against their farms for unpaidi'• balances. Government will appoint a repro- sentative of the Department of Agri-• culture to accompany settlers' repre aentative and assist him in selection.. of cattle, Government will advance fiat amount of money to pay for cattle at. time of purchase and to prepay trans- portation charges and to pay expenses: of .settlers'.representative. Settlers will be charged $12 per cow to defray , the 'transportation charges and the cost of their - own. representative. _ 'This fiat rate will nnean a saving of several dollars per cow to the settlers, and will give them; the advantage of knowing exactly, what these costs will amount to. The total cost to the settler will, be the amount paid dor the stock pur- chased for him plus $12 per head for those other charges. Upon delivery the settlers will be> required to pay at Ieast 26 per cent., of this total cost and as much more - as he is able.
