"Where is she?" demanded old Bill Lathrop. te His eyes took on -a steely g •httox as he followed the boy down the path to where the girl lay.

"What are you do- ing?" "was " I'm going away from here, the eurt reply. "Going away," she echoed. "Why? Where?" Vogel did not answer. He buckled the last strap, seized the suitcase -and stalked out of the house. The girl followed him, calling upon him to wait. He did not even turn to look at her. "Louie, Louie;" she cried. "Wait a minute." ' He whirled impatiently and dropped the sutcasle to the ground. "Quit yer cif flin';" he; said savagely. "I'm goin to;, beat it. That airplane -settles it.

He turn- ed, picked up the suitcase and started down the mountain path. Impulsively She caught up with him again and threw her arms around his neck. "Don't you love me any more, Louie?" she pleaded. "H- 1, no,," he eaid harshly. "Get out of my way, yu dl—d red-headed—" But still she clung to ham,. surprise taller eyes. In Tris she read his true rhmraeter. The man she thought she laved because. of his kindness to her, had vanished. Instead, she saw only the beast of prey, the savage in civi- lized clothing. Slowly her arms loos- ened their hold, and she stepped back. New Issue of Stock.

Then he clapped his ragged hat upon his head, took down the rifle from its hooks over the ,mantelpiece, emptied a box of cal ti id'g s o'nt'o his-pocl et ^and left the echaja. i At :.,tile edge of _ :the clearing the boy waited' impatiently. "Go home," commanded his father and did not :pause to see whether he was obeyed. With laggard feot.eteps and frequent glances over his shoulder, the boy went back to the cabin. home Bill Lathrop returned to his long after time rude evening meal had been served. Ile stood his rifle in a corner, washed his hands in a tin basin outside the kitchen door and sat down to his supper. He offered no explanations and no questions were asked him. Judge Graham had al- ready retired. ck Supper ended, the mountaineer pick- ed up his rifle and by the light of a pumped lamp cleaned and oiled it and. a bullet into the barrel, befo'r'e return- ing it to its accustomed place. "How's the gal?" he .asked quietly of his wife, clearing off the dishes. "She come to liter a bit but said she didn't feel like eating.'' I'm afeard she's goin' to have . a' black eye, but otherwise she ain't hurt" Stella, lying in the dark little bed- room, heard them unmoved. Since recovering consciousness she hail lis- tened tensely for her father's return, after learning from the brother who had seen Vogel strike her that Bill Lathrop bad gone down the trait after the thug with his rifle under his arm. She had heard her father came in, eat his supper and then familiar sound's told her that he was cleaning hie rifle, There was no need for her to ask questions. Bill Lathrop was a dead shot. Dry-eyed, she stared at the ceiling that she could not see. She had been brought ep on the moun- tain code of an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and in the pride which demanded that an insult to a woman must be wiped out in blood. Stella's love for Louis Vogel had died absolutely in .the moment just before she had struck him. It had be- gun to wane during the long flight from the city to the refuge rho had selected in the Cave. Vogel had been irritable and harsh toward her and Current loans and discounts standat $109,183,000, as against $113,198,000 last year.

General Manager is Optimistic.. Following the president's' concise. yet comprehensive review of the situa tion, as reflected in the year's state- ments, said Mr. Macarow, there is little left for me to add beyond, per- haps, a word or two by way of ampli- fication. It will be observed that in ,compari- There are indications that the mone- tary' position, broadly speaking, is less stringent and that the general liquidity of credit now in evidence is continuing to develop further. Altogether, and in a word, it is not. difficult to be an optimist as to the future of "Canada Unlimited," to bor- row the apt expression recently used by an eminent Canadian. The Board of Directors was re-elect- ed, with Sir H. Montagu Allan as President and F. Howard Wilson as Caring For Your Feet. How do your feet feel? Young, strong, and ready for all the hard work you put upon them? Or are they old, tired, and full of aches and pains? If they are not in good con- dition, do give them attention. Wrinkles, you know, and a down -in - the -mouth look can be traced straight to painful, neglected feet. Don't wear tight • shoes or short stocldngs, and don't forget that your feet need j ug as many baths as you have time to give them. If your feet are dry or, sold, or here are uric acid deposits be- tween your toes, try an alternate foot bath. It 'will quickly stimulate the son with last year's figures our total'Vice-President.

Incidental ly, it- will make you better looking. The alternate foot. bath •acts as a general tonic for the nerves and other tissues. The -way you take it is this: Place the feet in hot water for two minutes, then plunge them into cold water. Keep them there thirty sec- onds. Repeat tbis a number of times, always starting with the hot water. and finishing with the cold plunge. To tone 'up_Your feet, try an alcohol nib. Toilet vinegar'is also excel lent to use if it's difficult to get the also= hue.' This` hardens the feet, and 'xaste. them, too. Then there is a bath oil which has a wonezerfully soothing ef- fect :f rubbed well into the feet after the daily 'bath.. This oil is not only soothing, but also strengthening, and has the refreshing odor of balsam pine about it. Tired feet like powder. An unscented talcum is good,to use, and there are powders for this pur- pose which r'el'ieve perspiration and ;also act as a deodorant. • If you are on your feet a great deal, there are creams that will take out the aches and soothe the tired nerves. A cream rub, at least once a week, will be found most beneficial. If you need arch supporters, don't forget them wear them one day andn the next. If they are made of the right material and fit your feet per- ectly, they should be worn all the ;time. Don't forget that in taring for your feet you are taking a big step toward 1pQking your best. premeditation.

However, he had seen the town in -the valley* far below them and as 1t seem- ed to rifer the opportunity for a safe landing he dove down to it, circled over it half a dozen tames and pitied. out a pasture that from the air lodked as if it mu:ght be leas rough than aany other spot.

One of the most interesting of na- ture's processes is that by which ' cracks in volcanic rocks are filled in with materials brought up in hot solu- tions from the bowels of the earth. It is by this means that "veins"`, and. "lodes" of f gold and silver are formed. In the eastern part of Iceland there is a locality where such cracks' in rocks have been filled in with a pure carbonate of lime which Jeeps cler: and beautiful crystals. These cry's• tals, called "Iceland spar, - have .a pe- culiar property of "polarizing" • ligbt, . which makes• them valuable for use in connection with microscopes . and other optical instruments.
