The family is suddenly faced with theserious illness of Sir Miles Pen earroW Kei11 'suddenly marries Maisie Kite. 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 •easily• ,he gave "fn, and --his' prate were feeble. All the time his mother stayed close beside him, fostering the weak strain in him by making life soft and pleasant. ,WOMAN OPERATE! • BUGS linea Graduate Of U.

Since the opening of the mine site, in 1926, there has' been a 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 all. She does not like the suggestion she is possibly Canda's first woman mine operator. She has sufficient confidence in the men working' for her to accept the responsibility and undertake to master detail associat- ed ewith a sizeable mine. (To be Continued) 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." Y• NO PEP g!' �..

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. The Uuited States is far aheado£, , eet or,. ou tnnds �a�'>i`i `lire^res F "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- Royal Charter For Organ- ization Issued By Cahan At Ottawa Ottawa.—To assure perpetuation of the Dominion Drama Festival after the departure of the Earl of Bessborough a Royal charter had been issued, it has been announced by Hon.

Miss J. T. says: "Is there some- thing wrong with me, or is it my relatives that are to blame? Several boy friends during the last year or two have become 'has-beens' because of interference from my sisters. Now I have really fallen in love with a very nice boy, and my sisters tell me things about him that make me -yonder if he is as nice as he seems. I'm sending specimens of each of our writings, and await your advice." The present Governor-General ini- tiated the festival three years ago and it has been growing in popular- ity each year. His Excellency was anxious that the festival be contin- ued and extended after his depar- ture. In a statement Mr. Cahan said that the charter was being issued as a memorial to His Majesty's silver jubilee The charter recited the There is nothing intrinsically wrong with your boy friend, Miss 3'.
