CHAPTER XV
"I could slip across," said Naylor
uneasily. "I don't much like the look
of that fellow."
Filler's lip curled slightly as he an-
swered.
"There's no need to get into a funk
till you see a real cause for it. Slip
and call one of the men from the
goods department — say there isn't
a second to lose, and get Mr. Cotton
here, even if he's to come in his shirt.
.And Iook here, this thing may mean
fifty a year extra for both you and
me."
Nothing could have roused Naylor's
eonrage more than a prospect of ad-
vanced salary, and he slipped away to
the goods department with a vague
longing to encounter and overthrow a
man twice his own size.
"I shall be in my own place when
you get back — don't be a second
longer than you can help," said Filler.
"It won't do to Iet the man get sus-
picious; and I'll keep him in tow."
The operator returned to his apart-
ment, which he entered briskly and
with a bold front. "Mr. Naylor will be
here in a moment, and together we'll
enjoy your company," he began. "Why
what's this?" he asked as if greatly
amazed, looking at the damaged In-
s`ti iiinent,
"I'm extremely sorry." replied the
passenger, with much apparent con-
cern. "I had the misfortune, in leaning
back in the chair, to do the mischief
you see. I am very much concerned
about it."
Completely Cut Off
"You've absolutely cut us off com-
munication for the time being," said
Filler, looking at the passenger.
"Is that so?" asked the passenger,
with feigned regret, but so marked a
sense of relief in his tones that the
operator stared harder than ever.
"It is," he answered.
"You mean that the unfortunate oc-
currence has made it impossible for
you to communicate with the other
stations on the line?"
"Exactly," returned the clerk, very
gloomily.

ods were called for, thus preserving
it for the Queen's adornment and ter
the interest of posterity.
"I'm more sorry than I oan tell," the
passenger went on.
"It's . frightfully awkward to be
stranded like this," said Filler.
"You can't be more annoyed than I
am," responded the passenger. "It dis-
tresses me beyond measure to think
that we are cut oft from the civilised
world, so to speak. The telegraph wire
if I may say it, is a branch nerve con-
necting us with the great centre of
the electric world. By an unfortunate
accident — a mere slip of a chair —
we are robbed of the inestimable pri-
vilege of flashing our thoughts, our
wants, our commands, to that centre,
or having in return the wishes of the
head sent on to us."
"There are other instruments that
aren't crippled, thank heaven; for we
seem to look as if we should need
'em," thought the clerk. But he kept
his knowledge for his own use.
"I find," said the passenger, turn-
ing from the instrument and taking a
step towards his bag, as if to pick it
up — "I find that I have still the best
part of an hour to wait before my
train is due. The morning is so delic-
iously cool that I think I will take a
tern along the road outside the sta-
tion. I shall take care not to miss my
train,"
He picked up his bag, and was
making for the door with a smiling
face. "Dear, dear," he murmured,
"what mischief a simple act of Ca,�1'e,-
lessness can do. Permit me, my dear
sir, to pass."
Barring The Way
Filler was standing in the doorway,
undecided what to do generally, but
determined that in one respect at any
rate his duty was clear, and that was
to detain this singular person at all
hazards until the stationmaster came.
"I'm very sorry sir," he replied,
"but I can't allow you to leave the of-
fice till my superior comes. You must
be good enough to wait and give your
version of the accident to the instru-
ment to a higher official than I am."
The passenger began to swing bis
bag nervously, and his face assumed
the look which but a short time pre-
viously had appalled the operator.
'Why — you — you — what do you
mean, you ill-bred ruffian?" he said,
angrily.
"Don't talk to me like that, Mister
What's -your -name, if you have one.
Don't talk to me like that. I'm no ruf-
fian. I'm no 111 -bred fellow; but a
gentleman, sir — as much a gentle-
man — as you — a bit more so, I
hope," retorted the young man, his
courage rising at the prospect of a
fray. "You've done damage here, and
you've got to wait and give a proper
explanation of how it happened."
"Why, you — you —" gasped the
passenger, too furious to articulate
distinctly.
"That'll do; no names," interrupted
the undaunted operator. "We should
get on quite comfortably without 'em."
"Haven't I given you an account of
the accident?" asked the passenger sa-
vagely.
"You've given an account," said the
operator.
"What more do you want?" demand-
ed the passenger.
"One that's a bit nearer the mark,"
replied Filler.
"Do you suggest that I'm a liar?"
roared the passenger.
"Not at all," answered the young
man, "truly you've got a queer way.of
putting things. Now, if I'd sought

Canatlian Women Shod
Take Interest In Politics
Senator Iva C. Failis Urges Thelia' to Make Themselves a Necessity
In the Public Life of the Dominion ---Must Have
Political Convictions
Women today have made themselves
a necessity in the home, in business,
in educational and professional fields,
but as, yet have not become a neces-
sity in the realm of Governments
whether municipal, provincial or fed-
eral, said Senator Iva C. Falls, Con-
servative woman member of the Up-
per House for Peterborough, Ont., in
an address to the Women's Service
Club of Ottawa.
This is the task set before the wom-
en of Canada, she added. They must
try to make themselves a necessity
In the public life of the country.
It doesn't matter what convictions
are held on political subjects. But
"be interested enough in the future
of your country to have convictions,"
she said, stressing the need for more
women representatives in the provin-
cial legislatures and the House of
Commons.

Here is a simple cross-stitch design with a very real appeal that you
• will want to make right away. As a sampler to hang on a wall, it should
be hung in a plain frame to bring out the unusual beauty and originality
of the design. If you wish to use it as a table cover either hemstitched or
blanket stitched edges are appropriate. The original design was worked in
one color—delf blue—on fine linen. If you use blue linen the design would
be lovely worked all in white. There are many artistic and suitable com-
binations if you wish to use colors. The pattern includes transfer of the
design, complete instructions for embroidering and finishing, color sug-
gestions as well as detail chart of stitches used. Send 20 Cents for this

however cunningly you tilt it, it does

Under Eyes of Unseen
Mr. Filler smiled triumphantly, and
put his hands jauntily in his pockets
as he did so. "That's a pretty hard nut
for you to crack, isn't it?" he asked
pleasantly, all his old spirits having
returned. "If I may speak as a minor
novelist, I might say that when you
were performing you were under the
Eyes of the Unseen — in other words,
the optics of myself and Mr. Naylor.
Ah, perhaps it was a private rehear-
sal?"
Filler laughed. but before his tones
had died away the passenger, with an
exclamation of fury, had fallen upon
hint, and was trying to pin him in his
arms and hurl him from his position
in the doorway.

for the moment as if his opponent was
the holder of a football instead of a
small handbag, Filter employed a spe-
cial twist, and "passed" the bag in the
twinkling of an eye to the other end
of the room. Then he set himself ser-
iously to the task of pinning his as-
sailant and holding him till help ar-
rived.
The passenger, tall and slim though
he ivas, fought with a strength and
viciousness that the operator had ne-
ver seen equalled even on the foot-
ball field. He employed every artifice
of which he was master to overcome
his foe. He tried to throw him — first
by insidious trips and twists, then by
sudden and powerful puttings-forth of
strength. But Filler stood like a rock,
watching his adversary warily, meet-
ing his attacks with braced -up mus-
cles, and rebutting them with the very
least expenditure of energy.
He acted on the defensive only, and
bore himself pliantly in the stranger's
grasp. The eyes of the passenger burn-
ed with the strange passion which Fil=
ler had noticed not so many minutes
before, and upon his face there was
.the sante look of hate, But, now the is-
sue was plain, the operator cared no-
thing for fierce looks. His duty, was
to keep the passenger there till Mr.
Cotton came, and his only aim was to
discharge that duty as faithfully as
possible. As for the passenger's wrest-
-:ling and struggling, it afforded the
young man something in the way of
amusement. This was child's work as
compared with the embrace:, of a ri-
val Rugby Union mall.
For an instant the passenger paused
in bis attempt to get the mastery of
Fiber. He was exhausted, and releas-
ed his grip and stepped back a pace
or two. The operator also stepped
back, shook himself lightly, and ar-
ranged his cravat, which in the strug-
gle had been torn from beneath his
waistcoat. But he kept his eye on his
companion's face and read the sign
which immediately preceded the re-
newed attack. He knew that the se-
cond onslaught would be different
from. the first, but until the assualt
was made Ite had no real notion of its
nature:
Tho young man saw the passenger
Women lament the fact that they
are looked down upon by the men of
the country and considered inferior,
she said. But that is not the whole
ease. Ninety per cent. of the women
in Canada are not interested suffl-
ciently to do anything about their
status In polities. Some great non-
political women's organization should
use its influence to elect women to
the provincial legislature to deal with
problems Diose to their own homes.
The ideal situation in the advance-
ment of Canada in Senator Faille'
opinion would be to dismiss all
thoughts of sex inequality. Men and
women should work together for the
betterment and development of Can-
ada.
The history of the building- of Can-
ada has been a romantic one, she said,
telling of the lives of some of the
pioneers. But patriotism for many of
us today is instinctive rather than
deep -feeling.
Noteworthy is the progress made
in assimilation of the foreign -born in
Canada, she added. The first big step
in this work was taken when Cana-
dians dropped a patronizing attitude
toward emigrants, realizing the con-
tribution they could make to Canada
in folk -lore, folk -songs and handicraft.
Today the foreign -born are good Cana-
dians.
Should Iron Along
Thread Of Goods
Ironing clothes is sometimes quite
a problem, but when the best method
is understood, everything becomes
much simpler.
The iron should always be moved
along the threads of the material,
either lengthwise or crosswise.
Clothes except pongee, should be
ironed damp.
Sheets are usually folded in half.
Table linen is folded in half and

dart forward, and raised his arms so
that they might not be pinned and ren-
dered useless. The next moment he
was conscious of a grip on his throat
so fierce and hard that it made his
breathing impossible, and caused a
strange and deafening noise in his
ears. He tried to speak, but could not
utter a word. Then he lifted up his left
arm and endeavoured to cast off the
hand of his assailant. He might as
welt, it semed to him, have tried to
tear up an oak by the roots. He sought
for a moment with both hands to free
himself, but the passenger's grip lost
none of its intensity.
Filler put aside all the traditions of
sport and rules of science, and gave
himself to the simple question of pre-
serving life. A mist was gathering be-
fore his eyes, and his heart was throb-
bing rapidly and loudly.
Victory
He raised an arm which seemed to
have been sapped of its power, and
strulck blindly at the face before him.
The blow fell truly, and blood stream-
ed over the tightly -drawn lips. He
• struck again and again — rained the
blows. until it seemed as if all vigour
and vitality had left him. But the
tightness of the grip did not seem to
lessen.
The young man made but one more
effort. He gathered up his strength,
gripped in turn his assailant by the
throat, and flung the whole weight of
his body forward.
The passenger's hold relaxed, and
he raised his hands to cast off those
which hacl fastened on himself.
Filler held his captive firmly for a
moment until his own breath and
strength came back.. then he made a
prolonged rush forivard, threw the
passenger to the ground, and stagger-
ed forward and seized a chair.
"Lie there, you villain!" he ejacu-
lated. "Try to get up, and 1'11 stun
you with this chair."
The passenger made no attempt to
rise. He lay there panting, and trying
with a pocket -handkerchief to staunch
the flow of blood.
"You may thank God," added Filler,
"that you hadn't a chicken to deal
with, or you might now have added to
your other crimes, whatever they are
— and I should think they are many
— that of murder."
The passenger still said nothing,
and he was once more pressing the
linen to his features, when the door of
the room was, thrown wide open, and
the station -master and the booking -
clerk entered.
