A MES II OLDEN MoCREADY LIMITED,
£ . Canada's largest shoe manufacturers, sup-
plied, within thirty -thee days, 32,217 pairs of
leather ankle boots and 30;000 pairs of canvas
shoes for the outfitting of the First Canadian
Contingent, the largest quantity supplied by
any .manufacturer.
These boots Were worn by our soldiers on
aciiveservice both in this country and In the
training camps in England. They were sub
jected to the most severe usage that boots
could. be subjected_ to. They travelled over
rough roads and smooth. They waded through
mud and through ,slush past all description.
They were soaked by the never -ceasing rains
of an abnormally wet English winter. They
were .baked on hot stoves, grilled on steam
radiators and roasted before open fires. Yet,
THEY STOOD THE . TEST.
Out of the entire 32,217 pairs of leather
boots supplied by this coinpany only a single
pair was shown to be open to criticism when
the Government enquiry was made six Months
later.
Experts employed by the Government exam-
ined 1365 pairs and 348 odd boots made by
various manufacturers. Among the number
were fc..ind only seven pairs of boots of Ames
Holden McCready manufacture, of which five
were Maid to be, repairable, one pair unrepair-
abie, ttnd ONE PAIR HAD A SOLE UNDER
GA'GG+7.
The best proof of the durability and service-
ability of the Ames Holden McCready boots,
howerrer, was afforded by the sworn state-
ments of soldiers who had worn these boots
constantly from the time they were issued in
September, 1914, right through to March, 1915. -
They swore that they had worn the boots
through all the rough experiences •at Valcar-
tier and on Salisbury Plain and that they
had given excellent service throughout. Ser-
geant Nussey, of Toronto, who had served
twelve years in the British Army, appeared be-
fore the Committee with a pair of such boots
still on his feet and submitted them to the
committee's inspection.
The testimony of these witnesses has since
PILS F
been amply corroborated by numerous reports
and letters received from officers and soldiers
at the front all testifying to the good wearing
qualities of the Ames Holden MoCr'eady boots.

When the question was raised concerning
the quality of the Canadian soldiers' boots,
Aires Holden McCready Limited placed them- ,
selves IMMEDIATELY upon record, by writing
to the Government, as desirous of having the
most thorough investigation of the matter. The
appointment of a Parliamentary Committee and
the official enquiry followed. It occupied sev-
eral weeks' time; The Committee stopped at
nothing in their efforts to get at all the facts.
This Company purchased the best leather
and supplies available in Canada and spared no
expense in manufacturing the boots. All aur
invoices, and shop and manufacturing records
were produced before the Parliamentary Com-
mittee for their inspection and information.
We had nothing to hide and were proud of the
boots which were furnished to the Government.
THE AMES HOLDEN McCREADY BOOTS
CAME OUT OF THE ORDEAL UNSCATHED.
• The Committee reported to Parliament that
.the boots supplied by this company substan
tially complied with the sample; that no paper
or other fraudulent substances had been em-
ployed in their manufacture and that all
charges involving the integrity of this company
or of the boots supplied by them had been
abundantly disproven by the sworn evidence
taken before the Committee.
Tlie report, which was adopted by Parlia-
ment, was A COMPLETE VINDICATION FOR
.9i\1ES HOLDEN •ICCREADY LIMITED.
* * *
In bringing these fasts prominently before
the people of the Dominion, Ames Holden
McCready' Limited are actuated by the desire
not only to protect their own good name
which needs no vindication with the thousands
of Canadians who are familiar with this con-
pang and its products but also that of a
notable and important Canadian industry,
which has been unwarrantably aspersed.

The Lady to
Or, Leonora West's Love.
CHAPTER' XXV.—'Continued).
So one day she came into the little room
where Leouera, sitting at the window,
gazed wistfully out at the green grass
and the blue •sky, with an unconscious
pathos on the sweet, girlish face.
My dear, you are tired of this stuffy
little chamber, I know." she said.
"Not very," said the girl, a little drear-
ily. "1 suppose I ought to be grateful to
you for giving me such a home."
"Grateful to me for hiding you away in
these little, musty roome, es if you hadn't
the sweetest face the sun over ehoue on!"
eried the good woman, selfrel3roachfully.
"Not a bit of it, my dear. I'm ashamed
of myself for treating you so. It mustn't
go on so, or your health will suffer, and
so I shall tell Lady Lancaster; and if she
won't allow you the liberty of the grounds
I will go away from here and make us a
snug little home 'somewhere else, where
we may come and go as we please; " so
there!' said the good woman, with sud-
den independence.
heonora rose impulsively and went and
kilned the comely face of her friend.
"Aunt West, would you really do that
much for me?" she exclaimed, delight-
edly,
Yes, 1 would,' Mrs. West answered,
firmly, "Poor Dick left you to me to take
care of, and .I'm bound to do the beet I
can for your happiness."
"Ah 1" said Leonora, checking an impa-
tient sigh.
"And I've come to tell you," Mrs. West
continued, ''that if you'd like to go'and
eketee the Abbey eu'-ns, you may go
morning, Leonora."
If I'd like!' cried the girl. "Oh, Aunt
West! it's Just what yI was wishing for,
1 shall be so happy!"
"Yee' you shall go. dear, and stay all
day. if you like. I'll put you up .a nice
cold !null in .a little basket. and 111 hire
tae lodge -keeper's boy to show you the
way. I'll give him a shilling to go, and
he will stay all dy to keep yon from
getting frightened."
I hal] not be frightened," said Leo
nori r a•cliant.
'I don't know; it's still and lonesome-
" likehere, and the bate and screech -owls

manta:el rlutpel, too—'
"(7h, how lovely! I shall eketch tbat,
tool Leonora exclaimed, clapping her
hands like a gleeful cbild.
"And a little old grave -yard," pursued
etre, West. "Stale of the Lanoseters are

deer browsed on the velvety green grass,
and the great oak -trees cast shadows, per -
baps a century old; across their path.
When they had shut the park gates be-
hind them, and struck into the green
country lanes, bordered with honeysuckle
and lilac, Leonora drew breathwith a
sigh of delight.
"How sweet it all ie! My fathor'e coun-
try, too," she said. "Alt he was right to
love these grand old English homes, al-
though he was but lowly born. What a
grand old park, what sweet, green lariee,
what a sweet and peaeeful landsoaipel IL
is no wonder that the English love Eng
land!
She remembered how her father, now
dead and -burled under the beautiful
American skies, ]tad loved England,, and
always intended to return to it isome day
with his daughter, that she might behold
his native land.
She remembered hew often he had quot-
ed Mee. Herman's lines:
tions of our life matter, after all?" the
girl asked herself, soberly. 'The grave
awaits no all at last!
"The boast of heraldry, the pomp of
power,
And all that beauty, all that wealth
gave,
Await alike the inevitable hour;
The 'path of glory leads but to the
grave.' "
Sitting there among the Ionely green
graves and broken, discolored monuments„
"The stately homes of England,
How beautiful they stand!
Am4dst •their tall ancestral trees
O'er all the peasant land!
The deer across their greensward bound
Through shade and sunny glen,
And the swan ;elides past them with the
sound
Of some rejoicing stream."
"He loved the homes of England, al-
though his fate was not cast with them,"
she said to Herself, "Poor papa! I must
try to love England for hie sake; It was
airways dear to him. although he was fond
of his kind adopted home, tool"
When they reached the ruins, she stud-
ied thein carefully on every side to secure
a picturesque view, She found tb•at to
get the best passible one she would have
to sit down among the graves close to the
little diemantled chapel.
"You drain`; going to sit down nunang

7obnnie, round -eyed, and on the alert for
ghosts.
„Yes. I am, Are you afraid to .stay,
Jobnnie?" she asked, laughing.
"Ya'as. I be,": he replied, -promptly.
"Very well; you anar go off to tt die.

"Very well, take your aandwioh now, and

She sat down on the broketr dread=stone
of an old grave, took out her materials,
and while she trimmed her pencils,
glanced down end read the name on the
tomb beneath her.

"Yee; will you part with it?—for money,

"You are very kind," said Leonora.
She had pulled a flower from a grave.
end was tearing its petale apart with
tierce ciheiity between her white lingeiv.
"No I am only just,' he said; then,
with :a smile: "Ah, Mies Weet, do not be
so ; cruel to that poor flower. I have a
shuddering conviction that it is meta-
ihorically, myself you are deliberately
annihilating."
She glanced up to him .rather curiously
from beneath her shady lashes.
"I --did not really think what I was do-
ine," she said. "Why Should you think
1 would treat you that way?".
"Because I have been so unfortunate sue
to incur your dislike;" he answered.
She did not utter the denial he half
hoped she would, but she threw her mu-
tilated flower from her with a quickly.
,appressed sigh.
"Well, San I to have the sketch?" he in-
quired, after waiting 'vainly for an. an-

"You refuse?" he asked, chagrined.
"Yes I drew the picture for myself,

'She will be disappointed at my fall -

"That doss not mutter to me," Leonora
recurred, coldly. "Why dose she not
make a picture for herself?"
'She does rot sketch."
"Ah! it is beneath her dignity?" aeked
the girl.
No, but beyoug her power," he •re-
turned
"Really?" asked the girl. ' '
"Yes," he replied; "sae assures me that
she hat' no talent at all in that way. You
who are so clever, Miss West, might af-
ford to
f-ford-to pity her."
"I do, but not because she can not
draw," said Leonora.
"Why then?"
"Because, for all her high },mirth and
proud position, she will have to sell her-
self for money."
The shot told. She sane his cheek grow
red.

"Mrs. West ]las been.telling her tlie
things. I wish to Heaven she had held
her tongue!" be 'thought, bitterly. But
aloud he said, lightly; "Perhaps you may
find' it expedient to dothe same thing,
Miss West,"
' To do iv, she inquired.
'To marry for money," he replied..
"Anel you think it would be expedient?"
she inquired, drawing her delicate black
brows together in a vexed little frown.
"Yes, for you," he replied. "You are too
beautiful and gifted, Miss West, to be
contented in your present humble condi-
tion. You should marry wealth and posi-
tion. Both would become you "rarely."
"Than& you, my lord," she said, with a,.
pretty gesture of mock :humility,

"What has that to do with our sub-
ject?" shortly.
"Everything. De Vero is in love with

can be Mrs. De Vere any time you wish."
'Did your friend employ you to tell me

She worked industriously and skillfully
and nothing disturbed her for several
hours.
Johnnie had availed himself of the op-
portunity
.to snake an excurafon into the
woods on Ilia own account, and sbe was;
quite, alone; but nothing alarmed her,
and she worked on fearlessly amid the
fragrant stillness" of the lovely June day,
whose calmness was broken by nothing
louder than the hum of the bees among
the fiowero, or the Joyous carol of the
sky -hark ata it •soared from earth to heav
en, losing iteel£, as it were, in the Illimit-
able blue of the sky,
The midday sun climbed high and high
er into the sky, and Leonora, pausing
over her nearly completed sketob, 'Du"ih-
ed hack her wide hat from her flushed
face, and stopped to rest,, glancing at
the, quiet graves that encompassed her.
"What a still and peaoeful company
we are!" she said, aloud, quaintly,' never
thinking how stran.ge it looked to the
her sitting there --the only living thing.
among Lhe silent tombs.
Then all at once, as if the ten.ants of
the grave had come to life, Leonora' heard
a soft babel of voices' and laughter.
With a start she turned her head.
A party of gay young ladies and gen-
tlemen were strolling toward her aoroes
the level greensward. Porercnoet among
them was Lord Lancaster, walking beside
the eaid'e daughter.
It. was too late for retreat.
Every eye turned on the graceful iignro
sitting there so quietly among the graves
of the dead and gone Lancesters.
As they passed the low stone wall that
divided them, Lancaster lifted his hot
and bowed' low and profoundly.
Then they were gone, but an eager hum
of masculine voices was borne back to
her ears on the light breeze:
"By Jame! what a beauty!"
"Heavens! was that a ghost?"
"What a lovely being! Who is she, Lao -
caster ?"
She heard is deep, musical voice an -
sever carelesely:
It is Miss West—a young lady who is
rs aying in the neigthborbood for the
sketching, I believe."
They went on toward the ruins.
Leonora., with n deeper color in her fair
Moe, bent over her sketch and rapidly
put some finislning touches to it.
"Now 'I wonder where little Johnnie can
be?", site thought.
She glanced up and eaw Captain Lan-
caster coming beakto her.

"And you advise me. to marry. him?"
elle asked, gazing into his face with her
soft; steady glance.
"I should presume to advise you; yet
it would he a good thing for you, I know.

in the position to which his wealth would

It is a great power in the world," he
replied. •
Xs it?" she asked. "Ali! Lord Lancas-
ter, 'almost thou persuadest me' to sink
to Lady Adela's level and sell myself for.
gold."
"You seem to have imbibed a strange
contempt for Lady. Adele," he said.
'I have. Where is her wamanliness,
her self-respect, that she can lend herself
to that 'wicked old woman's ambitious'
schen es for buying a coroneted head with
leer twenty thousand a year? She is the
daughter of a. hundred earls, and yet she
can give herself to you merely for the
moneys sake. Pah!'
'Need it be merely for the money's,
sake?" he asked. 'Ann -I repulsive to look
upon Mies West? Is it quite impossible
that, a woman, Lady Adele, or another,
should give inc her heart with her hand?"
Something like 'wounded, pride quivered
in his voice, and he looked at her re•
proaohfulls.
"Would it roe impossible for me to be
loved for myself .alone?" ho went on, slow-
ly. "Might not some good, true. sweet
evoman love me for my own self—even as
I am?'
She looked up at the handsome face,
the large, graceful : form, and siletrtly re•
ogled the words Lieutenant Do. Vero had.
spoken to her on the steamer's deck that
day:
He . la more run after by the women
than any man in the regiment.
"Iie knows his power." she thoug:htc
and from cheer contrariness made no an -

Loss -off in Spring Litters.
Mortality has ruled high in
the spring litter's of pigs for years
past. For many years it seemed to
be increasingly s'o. During the pre-
sent season, however, the mortal-
ity has been much lighter than a
year ago,and this apparently gen-
erally throughout ghout Ontario.
Farmers are learning a more
practical way of caring for the
brood sow.. The use .ef more pro-
tein in their foods, the value of
ventilation and dry quarters,, of
exercise and good care, are being
learned by our farmers, and they
are taking pains to see that their
new stables and buildings do not
deny these to the hogs or other live
stock.
Hogs of True Bacon Type.
Thin hogs are the reports to hand
from the Ontario Department of
Agriculture. Thin hogs are also
heard of from our stockyards and
abattoirs. Perhaps the high cost
of grain may have had something
to do with it. But if so, it would
seem to have been a poor kind of
economy. Hogs that are well fed
mature earlier, and it is a poor
business to feed •a hog poorly for
five days if you could get the same
results by feeding him well for one
day.
Keeping the Morse Clean....
A brush or sponge is not a good
thing .to use around the nose of a
horse when . cleaning him. Tt
scratches and irritates the tender
skin. Use a soft, damp cloth for
the nose and around the eyes.
Only a soft cloth or the bare
hand should be used on the ears.
Wipe out the dirt, and rub the ea,r,
and do not neglect to look for ticks
and maggots.
When you wash a horse's legs,
get all the soap out of the hair and
dry well, especially around the
feet. Soap left there causes irrita-
tion and sometimes sores.
If the horse is a heavydrafter
with long hair or "feather""on: the
back of the legsyou can dry it by
rubbing in handfuls of hardwood
sawdust until the sawdust is so
dry it falls off. This leaves • the
long hair oily and silky. In fine
stables they use bran for this pur-
pose.
Fruit Prospects Generally Good.
.Apples and small fruits are .gen-
erally in fine condition. The com.
ing season will witness the coming
into bearingg of many new orchards,
and the present prospects are fox
another big crop. Small fruits,
etc;, are also reported to have win-
tered in fine condition.
