Those who were gathered around and -Who saw it all, being laymen and not medical men, most naturally attribut- ed his death to the blow as you did yourself and as I would have done had I been present. When you -fled some- one called the police who came pos haste, and they, being laymen as well., called it murder, sent Grayford to a morgue and turned the detective force loose after you. Of course a lot of newspaper police reporters were hang- ing on to the patrol wagon when it came, and within an hour extras 'pon- t-lining o -twining an account- of the affair were scattered throughout the city describ- ing the occurrence and accusing you,, One of those happened to be the last paper you read. But the surgeons the autopsy oon •ot erfor �ed s who nm p 'g at the facts of the case. A +coroner's jury was empaneled immediately and it was ascertained beyond all possible doubt that Grayford had died of apoplexy, superinduced by his mode of living and the rage that he had fal- len into because_ of his hatred of you. Your blow caused but a slight scalp wound and would not even have staggered him had it not been his time to die. The coroner's jury completely exonerated you, and that very night the detectives were called in and search for you abandoned. You were then in hiding., The lips of the listener moved but no sound came from them and Hamil- ton slowly finished.

Toronto) dozen •woodsmen were drinking and roaring through the fog of tobacco smoke that hung; from ceiling to floor in an eddying mist. Much to the in- coreer's surprise the dancer and imi- tator .was the giant Cardiff, With a last Pawing step that sent a spout of sawdust over the nearest onlookers the walking boss of the Badger Company quieted his feet and turned towards the one who had just entered. His face was aflame, his sullen, passion -marked mouth drooping and brutal from whisky.. With no sign that he recognized Stoddard he waved the sitters forward with a sweep, of itis arm and commanded that all present drink with him, seizing the bar in his great fingers and shaking it until it rattled like a dice box as he cursed their slowness in accepting his invitation. To cross Cardiff in his sober moments was bad enough, but to anger him while on a drunk was like crossing a lion in his armours. And the men, ready as, they were to drink at anybody's expense save their own, feared -their towering hostk and shrunk as far as possible beyond the radiusof his arms, Findlay Was not among them, and hesitating but long enough to make sure of this fact Stoddard started for the door. , With a bound Cardiff Was upon' him, one hand- hooked -deep in his dollar. "I said everyboctr take a drink with me. Do you hear?" he roared as he -dragged his captive partially resisting to the center of the bar. Deeply re- senting this rough handling from one whom he knew hated him and but squght a quarrel, Wilson nevertheless made passionless anwser. i ht T am not drinking to -night, , Mr. Cardiff. Thank you, and please let go of me." 4 The red shot eyes of the great Haan narrowed wickedly - and the clutch tightened. "Think you are too good to drink with a common. walking boss?" he demanded as he swung the other around so that his whisky -sod- den breath was . foul to Stoddard's nose. . That latter's head shook a neg- ative. "Then prove it. -What will you have'" "1 will drink a bottle of pop." "Pap, you mean," sneared Cardiff, bringing the huge fist of his free arm thunderously upon the board. - "You, pretending to be a wan and a lumber jack and drinking pap!" An uproar- ious howling laugh arose from the hearers, but Stoddard swallowing the hot retort that burned on the tip of his tongue remained impassive. 'It will be pop or nothing. PIease let me loose." The flush of Cardiff's cheeks grew deeper. "By God it will be whisky and plenty of it. Drink that," he snarled as he thrust his own brimming glass of cheap liquor before the other's face. And at the sight and srnelI of his great enemy of the past now once more at his very' lips, the indignation that had glowed within him at the buliyings i of the mail that .held him burst into a great blaze of anger. With the quickness of the strike of a serpent he raised his hand and brought it down edgewise with all his force upon Cardiff's elbow, and as the smitten muscles doubled up beneath the blow he wrenched himsetilf free and leaped backward to the middle of the floor. Bellowing with rage and the pain of the blow Cardiff came at him. 'By the Eternal, I'll twist your neck for that," he swore. But the saloon e man was between them x in an instant, a blazing kerosene lamp in his hand. "If you want to fight, get out in front and go to it, but you can't start anything in, here.

The nother own li -HEN, on the morning of November 11th, 1918, the guns were hushed and glad tidings flashed arrow the- wori , there followed with the Nation' Prayer of Thanksgiving, one yearning query, which found echo in the faster beat- ing .hearts of wives, mothers, fathers, brot ers, sisters and sweethearts. That query was, "How soon will our boybe home,?" And, from France and Flanders, from Italy and Egypt, from Palestine and from far-off Siberia, there came an answering echo, cl How soon, how soon, may We go home?" CANAA caught the spirit of theseion gv, a , a t once resolved to saw, Y them. It was an sopa s wi ng task. Shipp ,, was tragically scarce. The com- position of the Army -of occupation had not then been settled. And other parts of the Empire as well as Canada Vlere looking fdr the .speedy return of their men. 1 THE problem was this. The half -million r... -.en that Canada had overseas „had -, . taken more than - four years to tranwport to the field of battle. To bring them borne in a few months was a gigantic undertaking -one to tax all Canada's ingenuity and resources. . Canada solved the problem, but it meant crowding into a few short months, an expense for caexnobilization which it was impossible to foresee. THEN., too, besides the sentimental aspect of the necessity for bringing the men home quickly the economic side could not be overlooked. That was, to trans– form efficiently and speedily the nation's army of fighters into a national army, of workers. Need The answer to the question "Why Divides does Canada need another Victory Loan?" divides itself into two parts. Itself in . (a) To finish paying the expenses Two Parts .of demobilization, and the obliga- tions we still owe to our soldiers. (b) To provide national working capital. - Obligations The obligations to soldiers in- to Soldiers That . already incurred cost of bringing home troops from overseas. The payment of 9s11 soldiers stili undemobilized. This includes molt than 20,000 sick and wounded who are still in hospital, and who of course remain on the Army payroll till discharged. The upkeep of hospitals, and their medical and nursing staffs, until- the need for them is ended. These three items alone will use up at least $200,000,000 of the Victory Loan 1919. Gratuities There is also the gratuity which has been authorized, and has been and is being paid to assist soldiers to tide over the period between discharge and their re -adjustment to civil life. For this purpose alone, $61,000,000 must be provided out of the Victory Loan 1919, in addition to the $59,000,000 already +paid out of the proceeds of the Victory Loan 1918, Land h Furthermore, soldiers who desire Settlement to become farmers may, under the Soldiers' Land Settlement Act, be loaned Money by Canada with which to pur- chase land, stock and implements. The money so advanced - will be. paid back; meantime each loan is secured by a first mortgage. TJp to August 15th, 29,495 4oldiers had applied for land under the .terms of this Act; and 22,281 applications had been investi- gated, and the qualifications of the applicant approved. For thiel purpose Canada this year requires $24,000,000 - Vocational For this work which, - with the Trainin Vocational Training and Soldiers' Service Departments, embraces the major' activities of the Department of Soldiers' Civil Re-establishment, an appropriation of $57,000,000 is necessary. + + + These national expenditures are weir expenses: They will be accepted readily by every citizen who gives thought to the task which Canada faced following the, Armistice, and to the success with Which she has met it. National Working Capital Canada needs national worms capital, so that she may be able to sell on credit to Great .Britain' and our Allies the products of otir farms, forests, fisheries, mines and ,factories. , You may ask "Why sell to thein if they can't pay cash?" The answer is, "Their orders are absolutely essential to the continuance of bur agricultural and industrial prosperity." - The magnitude of these orders and the amount of em' pldyment thus created, will depend upon the success of the Victory Loan 1919.
