The Huron Expositor, 1920-05-28, Page 6Plain Facts about Milk Routes t A team of horses costs about $400, double harness $100, a wagon $75, making a total ,of $575. A Ford Truck costs $750 at Ford, Ont. Government experiments have proved that the co of feeding a. horse is 8.7 cents per working hour,o 17.4 cents per team per hour. One teain, if collecting milk, could not cover more than 30 miles a day. The cost for twelve hours would be $2.09, or about seven cents a mile. The cost for gas and oil for a Ford Truck is only 4,14 cents a mile. The Ford Truck soon pays for itself in the reduced cost of operation. A Ford Truck will cover at least 60 miles a day col- lecting milk or°250 miles on long hauls. It enables you to operate at a lower cost per mile and to cover twice as much territory as with horses.

See that the water pails are full and that she has plenty of Y dry kindlings. However, when I have the taste for waffles ye- shall make 'ern! And the beans from 'the bean- hofoleit!!" No woman knows the triclt After supper Dumphy brought chairs to the porch, and father and daughter sat there, hand in hand, making holy rite of the home -coning by a silence which words would have profaned. Tulandic had mellowed the thunderous tones with which it boisterously hailed the advent of spring. It was as *if June had put up protesting finger in order that the frothing falls might not drown out her more peaceful voices. Fire- flies spangled the slopes and the hol- lows, drifting sparks of radiance. Whippoorwills lilted here and there, and a night -jar boomed high in the air. Subtly dominating all., the scents was the far-flung, penetrating ordor of resinous logs; Kavanagh knew that his booms were filling with the rush of the X. K. drive. When the moon's crescent dipped behind the shaggy crest of Moose- mane Hill he patted her cheeks and kissed her forehead. And then, in the room hallowed for her by child- hood memories, she slept 'dreamlessly. Morning brought .tier fresh content. She was mistress of the mansion. In her other life there, she had been merely an indulged tenant. ` Now, without_ words, but by his manner, her father made her feel that she was the acknowledged and responsible head of the establishment. That fact changed the whole Aspect of her home and her life at Ste. Agathe. She found occupation and developed promptly the interest which attaches to 'authority. Everybody responded eagerly to the radiance of her counten- anee; by word and look they all told her that they were glad she was at home again. Even the tame fox and' the contemplative bobcat bestowed grave stare of ,favor on her. By some sort of subtle surrender her father put himself under her domination from the first. Hes re- mained constantly at the house, not' chafing under any restraint, but mani- festly enjoying the situation- and grateful for the opportunity to be al- ways with her. "It's a bit of a rest I need, and let 'em do the running to me,after this!" Therefore he -.administered affairs from his barrel -chair, a throne with a moose -hide for royal drapery. Clare Kavanagh had daily oppor- tunity to observe, to study, to know the men who came; she heard what they `said and what replies her father gave. She listened to his comments on them and on matters of their bus- iness after they had gone. She was not consciously seeking to master all the details of heh father's affairs for the purpose of offering hint assistance of any kind, but her awakened fealty made her eager to understand all the matters in which he took interest, Her attentiveness delighted him. But a%ry now and then he check- ed himself, asking forgiveness for "feeding chips and . sawdust to my girl. But, sure, I get to clattering and ye're too polite to say me nay." On these occasions he eyed her keenly as if he were testing her real interest and the measure of her con- tentment there in the Toban. Always hiding the feeling as best he could, he was showing wistful anxiety to be a'ssured that she was happy, that 1 he had not wrecked her peace of mind when he committed the act that, in his estimation, had made him a pariah so far as the outside world was con- cerned. In condemning himself back to banishment in the Toban he had brought -her with him, and even her passionate appeal to hint in her room at Manor Verona had not- cleared away all the black shadows of his regret. He was hungry for more as- suraance that she did not feel that she had been robbed of what her educa- tion and trained tastes entitled her to enjoy in a wider sphere than the Toban. She gave him that assurance more effectively by demeanor than by mere words. It seemed to him that all his bus- iness affairs adjusted themselves in more tractable shape when she was handy by. "It's. the smile of her," asserted old Waddell, stumpage -buyer. "I've done business with John Kavanagh for twenty years. I had got hardened to doing it as he would hate it done. I never thought I'd enjoy doing it— but it has come to „that! I leave my club at the foot of the hill -and he must have whittled his up—it's no- where in sight any more!" One day she delighted him so im- measurably, stirring in him such mix - .J ed emotions, that he ` laughed and wept at the same time. She brought him sheets of figures which proved conclusively that by another system of "topping out," as related to the log scale in use on the Toban waters, his stumpage contracts would yield him additional profits besides con- serving growth. "Saints 'o' glory, girl! How did ye ever come to know it?" "It's only a sum in board measure, daddy!" "But there's old Figger-four never waking up in all these years!" "We won't blame him. We'll blame the old-fashioned, careless ways and the rut folks are apt to get into. There were so many trees in the old days that folks didn't try to be very ex- act." "By guess and by gorry! That's Ibeen the way too long in the woods. Ay, I have seen ye sit listening to us, like a woodpecker with ear cocked at the trunk of a tree, and so now ye've caught us old, burrowing worms!" He waved the papers like a -banner. Wait! till -I. tell 'ern! It's my own girl has done it." "Well, if you tell them, daddy, be sure to explain that the men who buy stumpage will also make more money by increasing their cut. Otherwise they'll think you sent me away to school only for the purpose of.learn- v. ing new ways to make money for the Kavanaghs" "Bless glory, child 1 I want fo make 'em all love ye, up here!" He wiped the tears from his eyes. He. smashed the flat of his hand on the arm of the chair. A hope which was only half grown and which he had been nourishing in secret was struggling to burst from him. "Clare, colleen! All my life I have worked hard to build up, the thing that the X. K. mark stands for! All my life!, Hard world No playtime! And no boy to take my place! But what' good whether it lasts after ye're gone?' says one. 'Now ye're done with it, let it go,' says another. He raised himself out of his chair with effort and walked to the door. It was near the noon hour and all of Ste, Agathe's kitchen chimneys, smoking with the dinner fires, sent up incense to the god of the village's prosperity. -Far yonder, in the broad stretches of the river, the acres of his marshaled logs made brown sheathing for the silver flood from bank to bank. The flashing oars of the bateaux, the waving pick -poles, the men who toiled, all were of him and for him. Were he hale and strong, his apprehensions as to the future of all this would not have been, so depressing. In the full sense of power he would not have looked ahead to worry. Somehow it had always seemed that the X. K. machine would go on forever. But day by day he had seen the bones of his hands out- line themselves more and more under the relaxing skin; the hands trembled unless he set all his will to the task of holding them steady. His eyes were sinking into dark hollows. It seemed as if all his defenses against old age had been shattered by that one blow over the heart. "I understand, father," she said, at his side. "Yea, ye can, because ye're my own girl! Ye just showed a man's know, ledge of the right thing to know. I was nigh forgettin myself. It's not for this I 'have t�rgd you, thought You shall have the . i`hop.ey out of it all. That will be . best. It's what I have always planned." "But you mustn't talk as if both of us were not going to enjoy—" "I'm getting done, child—I'm get- ting done with my part of it." "Please! Please don't!" ,she plead- ed, distressed. "Whatever our faults, we're no hands to lie to each other. Thank God, I've faced men and all things without asking other than a man's fair chance. I can face death in just the same way!" "Yes, when it comes," she told him, gravely, too sensible to deal in false hopes and platitudes with him. He was silent for a long time, his eyes on his possessions. "Daddy,' know what you're think- ing about! I can talk it for you. It makes ane so proud to have you over- estimate me! That shows how much you love nee." "But I wouldn't have ye do it! No, no, darlin'! It was not that! I have terrible dreams o' nights! But, glory be, I think I'm having worse dreams when I'm awake," "I'm afraid, it is a dream, -as it stands just now," she admitted. Then she suited mock-heroic pose to words. "In a story -booker a play the heroine would stand up in front of her father and fold her arms and cry: `I—I will take the burden from your shoulders as a noble and sacred heritage! I will achieve what you have left unfinish- ed!' And then, if she wasn't a com- plete idiot, she would add, to herself, `And I'll probably succeed in making i a fool, of myself and a botch of the whole business.' " She finished with laughter that- made comedy of the situation. She grabbed him around the neck and kissed his cheeks alter- nately. "You dear old doting dada o' mine! You're boss of the X. K. and you're going to be boss for a long, long time. I just won't let you get morbib. And all tate time I'll stick to You close as the bark on a beech. I'll listen to every viiord you say about your business. It will -be my post -grad. course and you shall be Professor Johns Xavier. Kavanagh, D. O. D. L T. W." He replied to her gaiety with a grin of sheer delight. "It sounds grander than the letters on your diplomy," he chuckled. "It is grander! -For it means `Dearest Old Daddy In The World'!" She fairly sang the words at him. Garmole innlein Varnish RENEWS and brings out the Pattern. Qdq Nsrd.A Cluesfasly. a . l Watsrpro•f ,o* 101.11 sy H.

I do believe, dod but- ter it, that you can now go ahead and do much without making a fool - of yourself or a botch of my business!"

I'll stick me t'unnbs in t e belt o' me jacket! I'll begin on D mphy! I'll swagger out to him and 'll say, `Dumphy!" She shouted the name in _tone of arrogant authority. Dumphy, with his two pails of water, was at the corner of the house. He set them down and stared open-mouthed, meek and abashed. They were too much absorbed in their little play to notice him. " Dumphy! Mind ye here If ye over -brown my waffles as ye did last time, I'll have at ye with a twist of warp, and first I'll knot a pebble in the end of it!" Then she swung in •her strideand faced the cowering cook. "Oh, = Dunphy, I'm sorry," she called, in confused apology. ,`But you must not mind! It was only a bit of a rehearsal." Dumphy wagged his head; not un- derstandings; nor did he understand why John Kavanagh was holding to the side of the door guffawing as the vassal had never heard his master laugh before. "On your way," gasp - ted Kavanagh, "or the looks of that. mug 0' yours will kill me before my time." The cook picked up his pails and escaped. "You ought to have let me explain to him daddy," she protested. "Hold your whist, colleen! Let it be!. He'll pass the word that ye're your father's girl, and, it's a good word to go abroad in the Toban. It '11 help back up the diplomy that Professor Kavanagh will give ye!" "Sure," said Dumphy to the first man in whose ear he could .pour the information, "the smile of her it would warm a pan of biscuit, and the laugh of her is so light it could be whipped into frosting for a bride -cake. But, hail ye and repent! The edge of the tongue of her—it's the Kavanagh's! And only about one iron -set of whaf les! I had thought she didn't notice! Saints protect the omadhaun who does worse to her than waffles!" 4, CHAPTER IX What may happen when the, aoung man rides afar and the big moon calls' to a princess of the Mellicites. From the nature of his office Abner Kezar was Kavanagh'& most regular visitor; daily he came limping up the hill, his papers fluttering in his hand. On the first day his -eager scrutiny of her, his attentions which amounted almost to fawning obsequiousness, 4 and his questionings might have af- fected her composure had she not re- flected that his long :association with her father had undoubtedly, made him, in his own estimation, almost one of the family. He brought her flowers from the little garden which was his, sole diversion; he brought gifts now a sweet -grass basket, bought from a strolling Indian of the Mellicite tribe, or a string of wampum, secured from some poor redskin desperate enough to surrender such a sacred heirloom, It was not necessary for him to bring his grat}dson. That young man hur- rjg Iraord the moedmentot he cfl�fmeis 1,aaewl, k fromcca Ions; business trip and heard that Clare Kavanagh, though educated, was the handsomest girl the folks of the Toban had ever seen. For the first time in the case of a young woman Donald Kezar was honestly deferential; his attitude to- I ward Clare was not assumed. He felt that she was a superior person, I though she promptly, at the very out- I set, met him just where' they had 1 parted—on the plane of frank corn- radeship. He had expected airs and I affectation. Therefore she' had him at a disadvantage the moment she put out her hand and grasped his in cordial grip.
