SYNAPSIS
Kelly Pencarrow is broken hearted
when his uncle Michael offers Gently,
his daughter's husband, a share in the
Duffield farm. Kelly feels Gentry will
not appreciate the gesture. Belly's fa-
ther Sir Miles Pencarrow had wanted
him to be a lawyer and his other son
Pat to be a farmer.
CHAPTER 1I Cont'd.
No one had dreamt that Pat was
a rebel too. They had not bothered
much about the likes and dislikes of
this fifteen year old schoolboy. His
sudden departure camp as a terrible
shock.
Relief followed the first panic'
when a note to his 'nether revealed
the fact that he had decided to be-
come a sailor. He knew his father
would not listen to him, or give his
permission, so he had run away.
Miles made every effort to get the
boy to ccme home, but, once away,
It was easy to be firm, His vessel
did not come into Wellington again,
so Pat was spared a personal inter-
view. In the end, when convinced of
the lad's determination, Miles was
compelled to give an, Patrick Aloy-
sius Pencarrow was properly inden-
tured for four years to the New
12ealand Shipping Company's ves-
sel "Waitangi." Sailing to London
by the Horn, and coming out via
the Cape, he was the first Pencar-
row to return to England,
Now Genevieve was showing signs
of revolt. Mary had been gentle but
firm in her desire to enter a con-
vent. Kelly had been silent but stub-
born—damned stubborn his father
said.
Pat just took the matter into his
own hands, and did not argue. He
went.
Genevieve's revolt was incipient,
but anyone could see that she had i-
deas of her own, advanced ideas
not in consonance with her parents.
Norah saw it from both sides, and
tried to ':eep peace ,among them.
Plump and matronly, she had liv-
ed her full life of domesticity and so-
cial activities without much change.
She had mellowed, but neither weak-
ened nor hardened under the con-
stant friction of later years.
To mothers of her period their du-
ties were clear-cut and infllexible,
and the taint of modernism opened
up terrifying prospects. She was
shocked at much because she felt
it her duty to be shocked. But why
be shocked? This was the challenge
that Genevieve was constantly fling-
ing down.
Norah was shocked at her free-
dom of speech, her candour. Impu-
dence, Sir Miles called it. That a
girl should openly demand reasons
for her parents' action and opinions
was preposterous. Why? That's why.
But it was not enough for Gene-
vieve. Perplexed, Norah turned to
her husband to see ff he could ex-
plain why they were objecting. Per-
sonally, she felt sure she ought, But
Genevieve demanded to know why.
"Children did not ask why when I
was a child."

Day was closing in and dusk was
falling when Kelly arrived at the
Home Farm. A rush of memories
cavae crowding .into his mind as he
drove through the wide, hospitable
gate. Grannie had insisteu on a wide
gats, and a wide door. She said, that
a narrow entrance naa a 'grudging
look.
He saw the orchard flushed witn
spring, the early blossoms and the
tender leaves almost toc delicate to
face the ruthless lash oi the spring
storms. The reason for his coming
made poignant all this loveliness. He
could noc imagine it without her.
She was woven into the very fibre of
it. At every turn he saw her hand at
work, her thoughts and hopes and
love were embroidered on the very
surface of the land she had come to
as a bride more than half a century
before. It was then a new and savage
land. She had given it the priceless
example of her., courage, and her
faith, which was to be seen in the
simple, great accomplishments ar-
ound her. '
When the warning was sounded to
the little clan that Bessie Pencarrow This prospect, the aerona•itical sec-
tion great little Grannie, was nearing tion of the American Association for

"Don't waste your tears on me, No-
rah. My day: is over. i am old and
tired, and God• will; rest my weary
bones. v have had much to be thank-
ful for, so much love and kindness
from you all,"
One oy one, they had, been in to

and Kitty, and the grandchildren.

word he could silence the others, but
Genevieve persisted.
"It's not ladylike."
Genevieve laughed.
"How dare •you laugh!" snapped
Miles.
"Oh, I'll dare a lot more than that"
As she drove to the station to meet
Kelly her mind was busy running o-
ver the things she must tell him, He
would want to know much all at once
the things you can't put in letters.
As he stepped from the train, she,
thoughthe looked older, yes, distinct-
ly older. And thinner.
'How is she?" he, asked anxious-
ly.
"Just keeping • herself alive until
you come. The doctor said she could
not last, but I knew she would. She
is marvellous.
"Poor Grannie! It doesn't seem
possible. She was always...."
His voice trailed away. Kelly
found it difficult to express in words
his troubled emotional soul. •
They drove on in silence. A wet
wind came whipping across the har-
bour with a searching cold that was
more penetrating than the hard
frost of the mountain country. The
sky was grey, and a "gloomy shadow
hung over the city.
The Hutt Valley, green under the
veiling• misty rain, opened before
them. The familiar road was crowd-
ed with associations that linked him
with the old Pencarrow home.
'Has—halve any of the others come,
Kelly asked, as they left Petone be-
hind. .
Genevieve knew what he meant.
"Uncle Michael and Ella came
down three days ago and Aunt Hes-
ter is over from the Sounds."
Apparently Philip Gentry has stay-
ed at Duffield. That was what he
wanted to know.
Kelly's mind was a tumult. Not
since his defiant departure to make
his own way had he been back to
Wellington or the Hutt From the
annual gathering of the Pencarrow
clan each Christmas, Kelly was ab-
sent. It was a special grief to his

of the ditch, holding one another, and
crying, "oo; and on its side in the
tea, Kelly noticed how rapidly his
aunt's naix was turning grey, that
black, 'rebellious curly hair of • the
gay Kitty Pencarrow.
"Your father and Robin are com-
ing out again this evening." Kitty
thought it better he should realise
that he must inevitably ,meet them
all here at Grannie's bedside.
"How is Father?" Kelly asked.
`He's well, but—different."
Kelly understood, and knew that
she blamed him.
"And Robin?" he asked .
Kitty's eyes lighted up at the
mention of Robin.
'He is such a darling, Kelly. Not
a bit grown-up, and yet he has only
his final examination to pass"
A momentary twinge of envy dar-
kened his mind. Here was ' he, Sir
Miles Pencarrow's eldest son, a pen-
niless farm hand, and his cousin,
Robin Herrick whose father had been
a failure, and ended by keeping a
countey-pub, had stepped into itis:
place as Sir Miles' successor. Yet
it was. his own fault. He knew that.
He had sacrificed everything to go
his own way.
He suspected there had' been a lot
cf talk about his coming. Would Gra-
nnie insist upon a reconciliation be-
fore she died? Would Kelly, who was
devoted ti, her, refuse such a last re-
quest, Would Philip Gentry come to
the Hutt? Would the gallant little wo-
man still exert her influence over
•them from the grave, binding them
by promise of forgiveness?
Of course they had talked of it.
Norah and Kitty had spoken of it
every day since Grannie's illness.
"I'm sure it is worrying about Kel-
ly that makes Miles so difficult. He
imagines that all his children are
determined to disobey him, and that
Kelly is at the bottom oi it. If only
we could talk it over quietly, but
they can't. Kelly is so obstinate. He
won't say a word, and it drives his
father to fury. Genevieve answers
him back, and I believe he likes ' it
better."

is supported by principles of air me-
chanics developed in Germany, France
and the United States, and is of prov-
en practical value.
Professor Kirksten outlined the es-
sential feature of this new type air-
craft as resembling nothing so much
as the time -tested ferry boat propelled
with paddle, wheels. Air instead of
water would constitute its ocean.
Dealing with the characteristics of
cycloidai aircraft and their perform-
ance and stability in flight, Professor
Kirksten reached the conclusion:
'Idling cycl• oidal propellors should
be superior to fixed wings In standard
gliders of, airplane form. • Cycioidal
aircraft offer advantages for military
duty in that there are no wings to
obstruct the view or to interfere with
machine guns. The cycloidal propel-
lor has the important advantage of
being noiseless.
"There seems to be no reason why
this type cannot excell the airplane
in any.. manoeuvre now performed."
Unless technical improvements of
presnt day aircraft are simplified it
•will soon be necessary for a pilot to
gain a doctor of philosophy degree in

fly a plane, E. T. Alleu, test pilot
of California, informed the aeronau-
tical 'engineer's.
The task of the pilot has increased
greatly during the shift to the new
analysis meteorology in which he is
rapidly becoming adept, Allen said.
The pilot must be able to meet the
requirements of extensive blind flying
operations and operate a highly su-
percharged engine with rigid limita-
tions upon manifold pressure, power
and engine revolutions whichinvolve

len pointed out.

Wealth From
Canada's Mines
Ottawa.—Total dividends and bon-
uses paid by the Canadian mining
companies during 1933 are estimated.,
by the Department of Mines to amount
to $30,000,000, compared with $26,-
500,000 in ,1932. • These totals are ex-
clusive of dividends paid by petroleum
companies, and are also exclusive .of
stock dividends. Metal mining com-
panies contributed • 91. per cent. of the
total dividend disbursement in 1933.
Gold dividends made up 67 per cent.
of the 1933 total paid by all, mines,
and 74 per cent, of that paid by metal
mines. The aggregate total of divi-
dends paid in 1933 was approximate-
ly 13.6 per cent. of the value of the
mineral output for the year. It is
estimated that total divi lend pay-
ments by Canadian mines in 1934 will
;probably exceed $50,000,000

PARIS—Says the most fastidious of
Paris bachelors, M, Andre de Fouqu-
ieres: "Parisians definitely are aban-
doning that devil-may-care attitude in
dressing, and are returning to the
dignity, grace and elegance of other
days."
'Andre's brother, Becq de Fouqu-
ieres, is the "Chiet of the Protocol"
and regulates the deportment of pre-
siden,ts, ambassadors, ministers • and
even kings on occasions bringing them
here. Andre sets the style for unof-
ficial folk when it comes to fashion

"Formal evening attire," continues
the perfect bachelor. "is the sole at-,
tire which is correct for a big din-'

steadily is resuming its vogue here.;
To be well-dressed is an expression
of optimism, and also a nourageous
manner of combatting the crisis. To
be well-dressed" gives confidence to
oneself and to, others; it cheers and
beautifies the atmosphere and clari-
fies the sky. We must defend Paris
against the bad taste and pretentious
ugliness of the hooligans who ; go
about hatless, either to save money,
or to avoid saluting women whom
they encounter. We must protect
Paris against such vulgar ensembles
as gray trousers, a green vest, a red
muffler, a brown coat, a black and

Urges Nudism

Vast Aid in Education Hills-
dale Professor Contends •
Iowa City, Ia.—Nudism has an
educational value for the young and
growing child, Dr. ,David M. Trout,"
professor of psychology 'at Hillsdale
College, Hillsdale, Mich., asserted in
a prepared address delivered before
the Iowa conference on child de-,
velopment.
Children should have the oppor-,
tunity to see persons hide until they
learn fully the anatomical differ-
ences," Dr. Trout said,
He further declared that it ,is un-
wise to require a child to say prayers,
or to force any concept of God upon •"
him.
He pointed out that children under '
six years of age were unable to eon-'
ceive of God as a reality, and that if 1
ideas were forced; upon then they(
were most likely to become confused. '
"If a child asks his mother, 'What
.becomes of us when we die?' the an- •
swer should be, 'We are just dead
mother should explain that it is 'just
like when you are asleep.'"
Dr. Trout advised parents to en-
courage the "lies" told by small chil-
dren,
"Before the fifth year," he said,
"the child is unable to imagine time
or distance accurately, and for that
reason the tales he tells are not lies
but the products of an awkward im-
agination. ,Parents should treat this
story telling as a game, and help the
child play it."
