IIe stood there for a moment, troubled and a bit frightened. He felt so aloue in the world. Then Harrison spoke to hint. "Vi'e'd bet- ter start for the hleibrldge Cable Works, sir. The telegram was urgent." Smithy roused himself. "Men bridge, Of course. Pt.ight away." * Mt * They picked up some papers at the office and immediately boarded the train. Once in Melbidge. the business at the Cable works ivas quickly straightened out. The men had been planning to go -on strike unless their demands for higher wages were mel. However. Sir Charles Rainier settled the matter within minutes, not only by rais- ing wages but shortening hours and bettez'ing health and workiug conditions' in general. He was smiling vaguely as he left the place with Harrison. Its back of him, the cheer, of the mer still resounded. By the time they reached the village it was evening, despite fog and drizzle there was an air of festivity for the working people were celebrating the uiexpeeted victory .at. the Cable Works. Smithy glanced at his watch. There was still au )tour to traits departure. "Well, this gives us time to see a bit of Melbridge." He and Harrison made for a sm'a'll bar and ordered two double DIcWhirters an soda. They sat there drinking and Smithy felt curiously troubled. That mist in his mind was rising again, swirling around like smoke. It bothered. shim. He swallowed his- drink and • urgently asked Harrison to' hurry. Outside, Harrison 'rumbled for a cigarette. Neither of the men had any. Smithy nodded briefly. "Well never mind there's a little tobac- conist just around the cornet." Harrison glanced at ]alar in sur- prise. Goodbye, Charles, * o * They bought their cigarettes but as they came outside Harrison re- marked, "I thought you said you'd never been in Melbridge." "I haven't," Smithy said ittdif- ferently. Harrison returned. "But you said, 'There's a little tobacconist just around the corner,' That shop was •off the main street. Yon couldn't have seen it on your way from the station." "What?" Smithy stared at him. "Yes—that's true , . Harrison!!" The mists were swirling again but this time strange shapes were forming in them. There were noises too, bells and whistles. A sweat broke out on his forehead. He put a shaking stand on a tail - lug. "Harrison, let me think, That shop—and there's a big place; here too on a ]till. Et has wide gates and a high wall ;round it." Harrison was alarmed. "Sir. if you're ill . . . "No, no, Ilarrisori, Listen. I've got to trace it." Smith part his stands over his eyes. "There are thiugs crowding in on me . things I know. Things at they bark of my mind. I recall a good deal of fog, I was trying to ;et away from something . trying to escape, 1 was afraid," he spoke fumblingly, "—anti there was a girl. There was a eiri , . . we were tnarrieil!"

"Ob, I'm so glad I've found you," Paula said softly, "Thee lie• is here. What has happened?" " Harrison spoke almost 'wildly. "I think the world of hint, Lady' Rainier, you know that, but he doesn't realize what he's -doing." ":What i$ he doing?" site asked quietly. "IIB went to Mebr:idge. It seems he's been there before.

Yes, it was Smithy, moving very slowly along the road Paula could elmosl feel his heart beating. Now he had opened the gate, 11 creaked a little, He was coming up the path. With a shaking hand he touched the lamb of the door. It opened and she stood there. "Smithy," she said, ever so softly, HP faced. her. "Paula .. ," He moved forward and be took her in Itis arms. There were tears and awe in his voice. "Paola . , . i've found you. At last I've found you." He rested his cheek against her hair, The lines of his race smooth - Late Start If for some reason one is only able to start a garden now, it ie still not too late. In this case, however, one is advised to use al- ready well started plants bought from the florist or market gar- den `Caer.te quickest way to start a garden, as anyone with experience knows, is to have a supply of well- sta.:tted plants, both of flowers and vegetables. These may either have been grown indoors in shal- low boxes or purchased from seedsmen or nurserymen about this time of year. In flowers, these plants are just about ready to bloom when 'bought. Indeed some of them may have the odd bloom on them when still in the boxes. Experts, however, advise against leaving this bloom on at transplanting. It puts a strain on the plant and le apt to delay grpwth. Pinched off, the plant soon recovers from the shock of transplanting and will make stockier and larger growth. There is also a wide range of vegetables obtainable as started plants and in some cases, as with cabbage, cauliflower, celery, pep- pers, tomatoes, etc,, this is about the only safe way for the amateur to handle. Planted from seed now these things would not have nearly enoirg'h time to reach ma- turity before fall, They should not he set out until all danger of frost is over. Garden Enemies Proper treatment, just as soon as the first pest damage shows, will win the battle. It is amaz- ing the injury disease or insects can cause in a few days once they are well established. Available almost everywhere in Canada are cheap and effective commercial sprays and powders whieh will handle such pests as fungus, aphids, rust, wilt, cut worms, potato bugs, etc. In some cases these dusts or sprays are made of a combination of mater- ials ,to cope with a variety of enemies. The sprays, of course, should be applied when the plants are dry and the dusts stick better whetx„tlte;, ]ants are slightly moist With rant oraX: . ee Generally spe'rking, all plant enemies are divided ini,o three types — fungus, that mildew or wilt the foliage; sucking insects which produce the same results; and the eating kinds which liter- ally devour the foliage. Burning or drying sprays and dusts will handle the first two, while the "eaters" should be destroyed with a poison. Psychologists tell us that the average man forgets 54 per cent. o.' what he sees or hears within five days. Before you forget this go out and buy some more Victory Bonds! ed. out in a deep, quiet peace. The door to that inner room of mem- ory lams opened at last and he had found the treasure he'd sought for so many years . .. the woman he loved.

She Whipped Up Butter With Fork A Detroit woman saved up top cream to make butter, and when she thou.g'ht she had enough she put it in a bowl and churned for a couple of hours with a salad fork, relates the Ottawa Citizen. (We don't vouch for all this; we saw it in the Free Press.) But, to get on with the story, enough butter eventually emerged to grease a pancake, lightly, at an estimated coat in time and mater- ials of $,30 per pound—exclusive of salt, which isn't mentioned and Maybe she forgot that. Put the point is, ladies, if you still think -it economical to make butter at this price, and if the kind of cream ^ we're getting will make butter at any price, you have to turd in an equivalent number of coupons, same as if you bought the butter from the milkman in the first place, which is simpler but probably not as much fuzz, de- pending 011 hoxv you look at it.
