CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE
it was a night in June when. Sir
Miles Pencarrow'- first grandson was
born at the Hutt. Norah came out
next morning, all tremulous tears and
good advice. Genevieve held the
sleeping baby—a fair -skinned, red-
haired Pencarrow—and claimed it as
her godchild.
Miles could not restrain his impa-
tience when told it was a boy. At
last he was a grandfather. Perhaps
dere he would find one of his name
and blood to follow after him and
replace the sons who had gone their
own way.
When it came to choosing a name,
Maisie suggested Miles. Genevieve
wanted Michael, because of the red
hair, Kelly felt that his grandfather,
who, after all, had made the Home
Farm from a rough bush valley,
should be perpetuated in the new
generation.. There was much talk
and argi ment, so finally, Kelly put.
the three names into a hat, and Mai-
sie drew one,
• It was Matthew Pencarrow who
Genevieve held over the font, and
Miles's first disappointment was mo-
dified when Genevieve reminded him
that there was no Matthew anywhere
in the, family and they owed it to
the 'old pioneer,
ete'`"itiltt o 51Iff# "'" e filen
Genevieve made him take the baby
in his arms, and he was glad to see
Kelly again. Maisie was not present
at the christening, but Sir Miles ar-
ranged what -was positively a state
'visit to the Hutt for the following
Sunday.
Maisie Kite had given him bis first
grandson. She was one of the Pen-
carrows now.
In two and a half years three sons
were born at the Home Farm — Mat-
thew, Michael and Miles, commonly
known as Matt, Mike and Measle. Sir
Miles alone refused to use the ab-
surd nickname that arose from a one -
spot scar that was for some hours
suspected as being measles.
"My grandson Mies," he might
say, but Measle Pencarrow was the
name that endured.
Maisie and her three small sons
held Kelly in busy contentment. Mat-
thew was sturdy and positive; Mich-
ael Kelly Pencarrow was dark like
his father, with the same vivid blue
ryes and a restless energy that wore
out his mother.
"I'll belt the hide .iff you, my lad";
but the unblinking blue eyes held no
fear of his father.
"Don't say that to him, dear. It
eounds so brutal." But Maisie's pro-
test was purely formal. Kelly might
threaten to belt the hide. off him, but
what he did was to prod his fat little
stomach.
"You're all threats, Kelly, but I do
wish you would punish them souffle-
timos and not leave it all to me,''
"You won't let me."
"Talk to them. Can't you make
children understand that they must
not do things; I mean explain why it's
naughty."
"You ought to have married a law-
yer," said Kelly.
"Oh, I don't meati your father's
Method,"
The remark called his grandmotb-
er's warning: ,"One clay you will have
Y ons of your own, and you will do the
ame."
.Already Kelly' found Iiiinself plan-
ning tho future for his boys; one to
carry on the Home Falen, one to
take on Duffield, for Ella dead no son,
and one to follow Sir Miles in law.
In the new adjustment Maisie and
her babies became' a figure of impor-
tance- Three sons was a fine contri-
bution to the clan, Genevieve was a
great help in most emergencies. The
children worshipped their aunt, and
her imagination could meet them on
sporting terms, and she took their
games seriously,
Having started law to assist her
father more effectively, Genevieve
went through with • it. Soon after
Maisie's third son was born, Genev-
ieve passed her final law examina-
tion. Diiere was sonde satisfaction in
having got through and qualified for
a profession, and Sir Miles's inordin-
ate pride in her achievement was
some coanpensation for his earlier
disappointments. But in her heart
Genevieve regarded it as a barren tri-
umph. It was a cold and empty thing
viewed in relation to Maisie's full
life. It satisfied her mind, but her
heart was not in it. She was not am-
bitious in that way.
Robin had watched her successful
attack upon law with apprehension.
The more it filled her life, the less
her need of him. They met as law-
yers, not as lovers, now, and Genev-
ieve intruded into all their personal
relations the fellowship of work. She
set it up as a barrier between then;
not as a barrier to keep them apart,
but as an obstacle challenging him
to effort. She wanted him to resent
her legal aspirations, to fight her over
them, to bully her into surrender. to
compel her to throw up the career
and marry him. She inflicted on her-
self so many hurts in trying to wake
the fighting man in ;Robin Ale to

All the time his mother stayed close

continuous record of such achieve-
ments in which the new owner has
played no small Bart.
Shortly after opening the new
mine, thousands of gallons of water
poured in on miners in the workings.
Electric pumps were installed cap-
able of pumping out 71,000 gallons
each hour. New cutting and shear-
ing machines were employed and
other improvements carriedout to
make the mine on of the leading
shaft operations in the field.
Miss Hamilton is modest about it

confidence in the men working' for
her to accept the responsibility and
undertake to master detail associat-

Early English Newspapers
(Manchester Guardian)
The trustees of the British Museum
have just acquired a number of early
English newspapers. Among them is
the "Mercury," of 1667, remarkable
as being wholly devoted to advertis-
ing. It was printed by Thomas Rat-
cliffe, in Shoe Lane, and "for the
ease of those concerned," had offices
in several parts of London.
There is also the "Orange Gazette"
of December 31, 1688, which, "if it
find acceptance," was to be publish-
ed twice a week, "as natter shall
occur" Its publisher declined to
"restrain himself in the time," but
promised that the paper should "not
in the least make any repetition, as
usual in other prints." Its contents
would be "matter of novelty, to sat-
isfy the curious."
Among its advertisements is that
of "Mr. Elney, operator," who "most
safely and expeditiously cures deaf-
ness and noises in the ears (if cur-
able)" and, "at first sight by in-
spection resolves the patient if so or
not." Among "eminent persons of
the city" who could testify to Mr.
Elney's success was "the Marquess
of Queensbury" and "Mr. Robinson
of Chelsey," whose son, "deaf from
the cradle," now "by the blessing of
God" had "perfeet hearing." A news
item is that "on this day Sir William
Bevershani, one of the Masters in
Chancery, departed this life in hopes
of a better."

FINGER -PRINTING
GAINS POPULAR!
National Bureau Plan Meets
With Less Opposition
Now
Montreal -Antagonism raised by
the freedom-Ioving Canadian against
the establishment of a national finger
print bureau for general identification
purposes is crumbling slowly but
surely under the determined attack
of peace officers from coast to coast.
"The day is not far distant -when
every Canadian, from the age of 7
years up, will have his or her fin-
gerprints on record at Ottawa and
thus provide an infallible method of
identification in cases of amnesia,
accident, illness or death away from
home," an enthusiastic supporter of
the proposed bureau said recently.
Great strides have been made in
finger printing since Sir William
Hereschel first established the method
of finger print identification in India
late in the 19th century. Unfortun-
ately, however, finger printing was
for years used only as a means of
identifying criminals. Thus it became
associated in the mind of the average
citizen with crime and he regarded
with horror its use for any purpose.
Gradually, however, Canadians are
becoming accustomed to the idea of
finger printing for identification
purposes. Prominent citizens of the
Dominion have already used the sys-
tem and the records are filed either
at •Ottawa 'or in the police identifi-
cation,.bureaus of their home cities.

"of "identification" prints are on re-
cord at Washington in a special sec-
tion reserved at the Bureau of Iden-
tification headquarters in that city.
Impetus was given recently to this
practice in the United States when
a recent kidnapping case was solved
and the perpetrators jailed largely
through the discovery of the finger
prints in the lonely house the vic-
tim was first removed to after his
disappearance. Victims of accidents,
amnesia Cr death have also been
quickly identified a n d relatives
promptly notified when prints were
on file.
The uses of finger prints for
iden-
tification purposes are practically
unlimited. For instance, claimants
for estates could be identified posi-
tively and thus do away with the
possibility of a clever usurper de-
frauding the heirs of ee their just
share.' Finger print identification
could also be made compulsory by
insurance companies and other fin-
ancial concerns which hand out
thousands of dollars under the pre-
sent system upon production of doeu-
