Callahan, too, was there with his pipe, and they talked quietly with Sinclair —reminded him of how often. he had been warned, showed him how com- plete a record • they had of 'his plun- dering, and Glover gave to him Buck's final word that he could never eget,: work on the mountain division.

Originally all rubber came . it from the valley of the Amazon. When it was discovered no one knows. At any rate, when the first white men visited South America, they found the Indians playing with- balls made from the exudation. of the bark of a certain tree, and these balls differed from any the Europeans had ever seen, for they bounded and reboancled and were full of life. The Indians smeared this milk of the tree on their blankets to make them waterproof.

The two were ;ady to spring at each other's throats t hen Farrell Kennedy stepped between them. Sinclair, drunk with rage, call- ed for McCloud, but he submitted quietly to Kennedy's reproof ` and with a semblance of self-control beg- ged that McCloud be sent for. Ken- nedy, without complying, gradually pushed Sinclair out of the room, and without seemingly officious, walked with him down . the hall. and quite out of the building. CHAPTER VIL In Mation's Shop.

Experience has shown that this eassoarr. means in two families out of three. Up to December 1, 1916, the people of Canada have given $16,500,000 to the Fund. That is generous giving, isn't it? But the country is still at war; our armies are still growing; the soldiers' families are still in need; the Fund still must he maintained. And what do we find: in every part of the country men crying that they have given enough to the Fund—that Government should now take the burden. Given enough! When the Canadian lad in the trenches is dead -tired, ready to drop in his tracks, does he chuck, his job, declare he has even enough, and call pn Government to get another man? Given enough! Is there a man in Canada has given enough if women and children are in need while he, the stay-at- home, has a dollar to spare? No This Fund, above all funds, has a claim an every citizen :who is not himself a pauper. The filet that Government has not assumed responsibility for it is the fact that makes every man responsible for it—even if he thinks the Fund shouid be maintained by Xre YOU helping to insure this horde against need./ Government moneys. GOVERNMENT SHOULDNOT CONTROL, BECAUSE -4-t 1. Government would have to treat all alike. irhe Fund helps only those in need. If Governmerrt paid thc families a each soldier the average sum paid by the Fund the extra burden on tl2c country would be between eight and nine million dollars yearly. 2. By paying the average sum thoSe families h districts where cost a living is low would receive rnorc than they need; tboselin high-cost areas would be paid too little. 3.
