Ugly sort of country, I call them
moors: The -crocl furze and the
broken bare rocks like snuggled teeth.
And yet people—people of high 'class
—teem Luneon and I know not where,
want to ' come and stay there hi the
summer -tune. Right in the shadow of
the prison walls of the Castle. they
want to come. And build little bunga-
lows and such -like. Aud live in gypsy
caravans and tents. And loll about
and paint pictures and the reit of, it:
Course, I am speaking of•a good few
'years ago, afore motors was• thought
of and afore the little inns es used to
call theirselves "hotels" really got to

There were one woman, Nobody
noticed her much apt. first. She were
Fust one of a crowd; and. they all seem-
ed very drab alike. . But presently
she got to be know'd, 'cos. 'on a cut -us
habit of horn. "
She kept oma of them bungalows,
and after a bit she built a stable along-
side of it, And presently there was a
horse in the' stable, and it were a pro-
per •horse- too, a ' girt leggy stallion,
black as your hat, with a long tail and
inane as flowed in the wind like girt
fans. And she used to ride the big
ugly thing. It was• riding' No finick-
ing .along the open ways, picking out
• the clean bits, but a., mad gallop any-
wheres.up and down the sidesof the
tom and over the dips• and hollows;
the goes and the bramble, as if she
and the horse were one and both on
em crazy.
Not often did she slacken down till
she were nearing home, but some-
times she did pall up that big. brute
to a standstill, and always on a little
steep hill . as overlooked the 'pirson-
,,>yarcl. I marked that after a time. We.
all marked that. There she would sit
agen the skyline like a black marble
figure on a black marble animile, still
as if they was a graven image—till
they turned,and then she would wave
her hand.
We couldn't make out for the life of
us who it were she waved to, And we
never did find out before 'twere too
late. But naturally we got to sus-
picion her, and we watched her, her
comings and goings, her little doings
and what -not. Only she get no reg'lar
'habits.- Morn, noon, and eve, it were
all the same to she. Sometimes we'd
see her at sunrise, sometimes in the
noontide glare, sometimes in the mists
'of twilight, And some said, and I
were one of 'em, that at night she used
to come • and sit there in the -moon-
shine, so :still she ••migtltt he' been
wrought of the 'rocks theirselves. And
'some said, and I were one on 'em, that
they. heard the thrash, of the horse's'
hoofs on the hard stones, and believed
as she passed close by ha the bitter
darkness of the fore -dawn..
Well, so it went on for maybe three
• or four months. And then the sum-

other gadabouts were packing up for
Lannon. We watched to see if she
likewise were packing up. And• she
were, The best of her belongings
went back to town in trunk -loads, in
wagonloads, Then the horse he went,
And then she went.
And everybody said that everybody
else were a fool, and that she were up
to no more mischief than the 'rest of
they. •
And after that we sort of half for-
got about elle.
Then,, one night it were in October,
I remind me, thele coins down one
of them there white fogs as be like to

that could be felt—such is common in
them parts. And it come down so
sudden •as.if the heavens had frowned.

afore we could round 'em up and put
'em under guard two or. three op 'em

'then I suddenly found out ae one on
'em were still missing. Hard 'twere
at first to make out which 'twere. But
We had the bells a-riugiug and the
guns a•boonting to a fine Loon, I do
tell ye, -
And at last we found out that it
must be Yannson as shad done us. Now
Y,ancson were a chap as we all liked

this accounted for a little less in Cana-

phenomenal feature of the Province's
mineral development of recent years
has been the growth of the Northern

Extensive Inland Fisheries.
In Its. inland waters,•particolarly its
share of the Great Lakes, Ontario, pos-
sesses an extensive fishing field which
gives it fourth place among the pro'
vinces of the Dominion in the fishing
industry. Its production of whitefish',
herring, trout, pickerel, perch and pike
is' increasing consistently every year
in. value as illustrated in a comparison
of the figures of the past two' decades.
In 1901 the value of. Ontatlo's annual
t
"'eat wasp $1,424,078; 'by 1910 this had
risen to $2,348,270, whilst in 1920 the
freshwater fish of the province ac-
counted
ccounted for a revenue of $3,336,412.
Ontario's forests constitute one of
its moat valuable resources which at
an early period in its history induced
the introduction of capital and ,ex-
planation. The total area of forest
land is estimated at 260,000 equate,
miles . and that covered by timber
licedses and other rights, 40,000
square miles, Northern Ontario con-
tains vast supplies of timber upon
which commercial cutting has hardly
!coiurnenoed, whilst this region is also
estimated to have 200,000,000 cords of
I pulpwood. The manner in which the
. timber industry of the province has
' expanded in the past decade, due to a
great extent to the development of the
pulp and paper industry„ can be seen
in a comparison of the 1910 figures
;with, those of 1920. W,ieereas in the
former yetnr tine value of forest pro-
ducts from the province was about
eleven millicit dollars, it had risen in
the latter to nearly forty-eight million
dollars. In the pulp and paper Indus-
try, in which this province takes
second place only to Quebec, the same
!surprising development is found. Pulp-
' wcod used in the industry in 1910 was
! 210,552 cords, in 1919 it was 840,856;
in the sam.e,period the value bad in-
. creased from $1,479,538 to $13,113,794.
The amount of pulp produced in the
province increased in less than a de-
carie from 156,076 tons to 597,291 tons,
the number of plants manufacturing
'jumping troan fifteen to twenty-two.

A Help To Autolets,
White riding one day with a neigh-
bor in his car we were unfortunate
enough to run into a mud bole. The
rear wheels, even with the chains on,
absolutely refused to take hold, either
going 'ahead or back. It seemed to
me at first that we were in to stay;
but I found that my friend was pre-
pared for just such emergency. He
produced from the tool box two pieces
of trunk rope about tern; feet long,
two wooden stakes about eighteen
inches long and 'a threepound sledge.
I wondered just what was "coming
off',", but I soon learned, He drove a
stake behind each rear wheel where
the ground was solid, A rope was
then tied to each stake, . Blase to the
ground, run under the hub and tied
to a spoke. My friend started his
engine, threw it into reverse and the
oar easily backed itself out of the
mud hole.
It is worth any autoist's while, espe-
cially when travellings on country
roads, to add these inexpensive
articles to his equipment.
Make Sure Spring- Clips Are Drawn
• Up Tight •
If any proof be required of the ne-
cessity of keeping spring clips tight
it may be found in the fact that
'neither dealers nor manufacturers
will replace a spring that is broken
through the centre bolt hole—the
,place where most springs give way,
observes a contributor to "The Am-
erican Motorist,'who goes onto say:
"Breakage of this nature is taken
as evidence 'that the springs clips were
not kept tight. The spring clips are
subject to bending in two directions,
with the result that excessive strains
are imposed at the weakest point,
which in this case is at the bolt hole.
"The spring clips should be seated
perfectly tight by drawing the nuts
up as close as possible with a wrench
of such size that there is no question
of their being tight. It is well also
to bear in mind that even a nut se-
cured by a lock washer will ultimately
work loose; hence the necessity for
looking over your spring clips now
and then."
Practical Paragraphs.
In sedan bodies it will sometimes be
found that as the windows are lowered
they are broken by hard objects car-
ried in the door pockets. If the hard
.object is of some size it will strike the
edge of the seat when the door is
being Closed and hear against the door
glans hard enough to break it.
Getting out of a rut—When one of
the rear wheels has got in a mud hole
or deep rut so that it springs; apply
the . emergency brake with a
gentle pressure, This will give enough
resistance to the spinning, wheel so
that the other wheel can pull the car
I cut of trouble. The decrease in engine
speed because of the pressure of the
? brake can he compensated for by
'opening the throttle a little.
Upholstery cleaning—Many sedans
have broadcloth upholstery, and
owners experience difficulty in keep j
ing this in good condition, In rennov
ing spote from broodeloth the material
should be ribbed in the direction ofl
the nap, This means brushing- Veif:hc
a downward motion on the trirannmg•
our the 'sides of,'the body and a for-
ward motion on cushions and head,
lining. When the nap of bmoadclotN
is standing up it is unsightly in car -I
tam lights, It can he made to her
flat by the handling' described above
using a nail or a hand brush.
Holding. emery cloth --In polishing;
some flat surface with emery cloth in-
stead of the file it will be found con '
venient to wrap the eloth around the
file and bend a bit of wire into a clip
form to hold the material at the'lawenti
end. The cloth at the opter end of the'
file is held by the fingers anyway, so
that this' does not need a clip.
Rim cut repair—Rim cuts are often
.given up as hopeless by the ear owner,
'but they can be repaired in the follow-
ing manner; Drill a series of holes on
each side of the break at intervals of
% of an inch and far enough from
the edge so that they will not pull out.
Lace the holes with a cord made of
six strands of braided fish line or any
braided cord about 3-82 of an inch in
diameter. Soak this lacing in paraffin
or wax to make it waterproof and then
thread it through the first hole, wind
it around the bead, through the second
hole and so on. Let six inches of the
cord hang over on each end for tuck-
ing away. Fnally place a blowout
patch over the lacing inside the sl ca
to protect the tube against injury.
Jack support—In an emergency
when the car has to be tacked up on
soft ground and no support for; the
tool is handy take out the floor board
or toe board and use this. It will he
found to serve the purpose admirably.
Radiator repair—To make a good
emergency repair of a honeycomb
radiator, use a small bolt, longer than
the depth of the radiator and fine
enough to go through the hole in the
honeycomb. On each end of this bolt
a steel washer is placed, with a rubber
washer inside. Tighten the . n
this bolt and the rubber washers are
drawn tight -enough to stop the leak.
This repair cannot be made on a
tr_bular radiator.
