Observes the Vancouver Sun: 'The story about the country lad Who .vent -to the city, worked hard to make money, and finally returned rich to his old home town to enjoy a peace- ful old age is one of the most popular tales that ever gets told. "Its plot takes an. ironie new twist, however, in the adventures of Bolin M.cKinstry of • Ireland. "MeKinstry left Ireland for New York years ago to make his fortune. "The jobs he got in New .York were nothing much, but he worked hard and saved money; and this' year, after 50 years of toil, with upward of $25,000 saved, he returned to Ireland to go back to the scenes of his youth and enjoy life. "But things bad changed in those 50 years. The town didn't look the same. His old friends and relatives were gone, "Nobody knew hiau, nobody even re- nembered his name, nobody could tell him anything about his family. In- stead of returning to a pleasant :tld age, he found that he had come back to loneliness and disappointment. "The shook made him 111, He spent weeks in a hospital, and on his recov- ery he said he was going to head back to New York. "His home town meant nothing to at him and his money meant nothing. "He had scraped and slaved all his life for nothing. "The whole pathetic little story is a sardonic sort of warning for youth- ful ambition. "All of ua at one time or another, got an idea similar to the one about Which McXinstry built his life; the idea that we shall deny ourselves this, that, and the other thing throughout youth and middle age so that, when the end of life approaches, we can take things easy and enjoy the good things we missed when we were younger. "But the ntan who does it tuns the chance of discovering, too late, that putting off enjoyment too long is apt to mean hissing it altogether. "Save your good times for your old age and you are- gambling with time. "Happiness is the most elusiv , thing anyone can seek. "Unless we learn how to get our share of it in day-to-day living, we run the chance of missing it alto- gether." Moated Castle as Convent School For_ Women Missionaries A religious community known as the Sister Servants of the Holy Ghost, has • established its first centre in England in the historic moatecl castle at Coverswall, near Stoke-on-Trent. The, Castle, which has been empty for two years and was about to be de- molished and its fine oak panelling • sold, was bought by the community, which is of Dutch origin and has for its object the co-operation with priests In the evangelization of pagan peoples. It is to be used for the training of women for the propagation or Chris- tianity in the British Indies. The order is 2,000 strong, and at present the only English member Sister Winnifrecl, who is Lancashire born. The sisters are at present running their own farm or 2-1 acres. Their Object is to snake themselves a self- supporting community as far as pos- sible. A number of them are trained nurses, and it is intended to establish nursing home at the castle. The outbuildings ate to be converted into a retreat for the laity in North Staf- fordshire, taffordshire, The fourteenth -century stronghold built by William de Coverswall, a knight of the days of Bclward II, was preserved .in plan and outline by the builder of the present castle, ;4Iattbeti •Cresidork, a wool merchant of Stafford, XL Is fflaned by six octagonal towers.

Canada Is Champion Egg Consuming Country Canada is now the champion egg consuming country of the world for the reason that confidence has been established in the consumer through the grading of eggs. This system of grading is standardized in a na- tion-wide way, weight of eggs being included in the grades, This grading of eggs for inferior quality is the natural evolution from candling -the simple process by which the quality of an egg is determined by being held up to a strong electric light in place of a candle as in the earlier • days. Grading has developed into a stand- ardization of grades and the estab- lishment of Canadian Standards for eggs as they function under, the Can- adian Egg Regulations. In this way the question of egg quality, which at one time was an unknown quantity until the egg was broken open, -has been lifted from the slough of uncer- tainty and placed on the pedestal of certainty, resulting in an almost 'pre - nominal increase in the consumption of eggs in Canada during the past de- cade. The new grades "Al," "A," "B," and "C," recently issued by the Dominion Department of Agriculture, have been hailed with universal satis- faction as affording further protec- tion to both producers and consumers alike. Each grade indicates a certain known definite quality which an egg must possess to qualify for the grade in which it is placed. This is the con- sumer's asuranee of certainty as to quality.

As they disappeared, the door reopened'to admit a customer who, judging from externals, appear- ed to belong to the sante trade as the vocalists. A seafaring man evidently, but, in this ease, sober. He walked up to the bar, and called for a glass of bitter beer. Directly the barman, having served hint, had retired: "O.K., Norwich?" said Haig, ad- dressing the 'new arrival. Kearney started and stared from face to face; then: "The lorry's back in King's yard, Inspector," the ratan • reported—"and being unloaded." • ,Dawson Haig nodded, and turning to the melancholy citizen, who smok- ed his pipe silently beneath the pic- ture gallery of famous fighters: "Join up, Wickhara." he directed sharply, "All clear." The man Sprang up promptly; and Haig grinned into the bewildered face of Kearney. "My own methods," he said. "The only way to deal with an Oriental criminal."

During the past three years there has been a number of deaths in the United States and Can- ada resulting from fumigation work performed by people who were not suf- ficiently trained from a chemical point of view, he said. There was no ,peed for loss of human life as there were fumigating chemicals available con- taining the warning ingredient which made it impossible -for anyone to stay in the atmosphere so charged, this type of gas having been used in the railways for years, he added.

"Don't forget the American accent, sir," he whispered. "I can't!" Kearney replied, "So they tell me here." This cul-de-sac was curiously quiet, although its blind end terminated very near to the river •bank. Here, the fog was thick again.

"Please come in." The two stepped into a little court- yard which seere.l to Lurn left miter the lea of a dilapidated building and which, so Kearney had been told, actu- ally came out in the adjoining street The Arab proved to be a gaunt pian wsth a lined and pock -marked face sunken eyes, and art ominous expres- sion. ' They crossed to a corner of the yard, mounted four stune steps, an,.l entered a little dimly lighted passage having a window with an iron pleat- ing overlooking the courtyard. Under this window, upon the floor, Were a dirty mattress, a bottle, a tin mug and the remains of a meal upon an enamel plate. 'The place was stuffy and full of cigarette smoke. It was evidently the sanctum of . the Arab night porter. "Please wait," said the bowwab leaving them together in the dimly lighted rpom. Shuffling footsteps died away in some dark place beyond, and Kearney was about to speak when Norwich shook his head urgently. Standing there is an oppressive hush, a long way off in the building Kearney heard a sound. Although at first he failed. to 'iden- tify it, immediately he knew that it was horrible. It was a very high sound, between a piping and a squeal; higher than the note of a rat, It was, para- doxieally, so shrill as to be nearly inaudible, , . . Tlien, suddenly, he knew of what it reminded hiln....the amplified squeak of a bat! It was chilling, terrifying, in some way—unclean. He exchanged a rapid glance with Norwich; and Norwich stood like a man petrified. "For God's sake! what was it?" eearney whispered. "I can't imagine, sir.... Ssh! Some- one coning!" "It was like ....laughter ...." The emporium of Jo Lung was in- credible as a fairy tale. It occupied all the rooms on two floors of a ramb- Iing old building, eight or nine rooms in all, and each one literally crem- ated with treasures. At times Kear- ney imagined that the covered -in ways of old Damascus lay just around the nett turning; that the Street Called Straight, and not Limehouse Causeway.; adjoined this winder -khan, entering other rooms, he woe transported to• the Seraglio Palace, and thought that he stood in the treas- ury of the Sultans. Only the planner in which these priceless items Were displayed served to dissipate such illusions. They were piled carelessly upoti rough, trestle tables. Here were lacquer cabinets, chests, and caskets, antique and modern; each. one a choice piece.. Damascened sword's Venetian goblets, whole ser- vices di Ming porcelain; prayer car- pets of a quality seldom seen outside a museum; a collection of books in exquisite bindings; a great quantit•,Y of antique silver. A highly civilized and well dressed Greek did the honors. "Mr. Jo Lung is unfortunately 'away," he explained to Norwich. "But if I can help, I aim at your service. No doubt," turning to••Kearney, who was endeavoring to hide hi:, bewilderment, "yore .nave 'a definite idea what you are seeking?" ICearney conquered his astonish- ment. He endeavored to recall Daw- son Haig's instructions, Jo Lung was the biggest "fence"—or dealer in stolen goods ----in all London. Surprise visits had never yet caught him nap- ping, This was a new move, Detec- tive; Sergeant Norwich had ntemerized a long list of stolen jen'eh'y---princi- pally foreign; and their job was to try to identify even one item in Jo's emporium. On this, Haig could act. , and the cases of opium lay in an ad- joining yard! "My friend, Mr. Bronema. has ever - al commissions," said Norwich. (Matt Kearney was "Mr. Bronsen.") "But. mostly colored gents." "Yes,!" Kearney broke in, "l'ni com- n,issioned by a New York client to complete a collection of sapphires." "Sapphires I" The Greek raised heavy eyebrows. "I fear I am unfor- tunate. If Mr. Jo Lung were here he might be able to help you. But to the best of my knowledge we have few sapphires in stock at present. They are not," he smiled slightly,. "very profitable just now• however, you shall see," They passed along a corridor, event down three naked wooden steps and picked a way through what seemed to be a collection ei' lamps ---lamps of perforated brass, of silver, and of gold; lamps, :frons Arabia, froth China, and front J alias. Detective Sergeant Norwich was all eyes. They entered a room resembling a small shop, and the Greek, stepping behind a narrov, counter, pulled out a tray from beneath and opened it for the, visitors' inspection. It was as he did so that the almost{ insupportable silence began to hear down again upon Kearney. The treas,- ttr. house of Jo Lung was the most silent place he had ever known in the heart of 'a city. Its silence Was un- "Obviously' t- c! mny, (To be continued.)
