'THE TAVERN (By Newton MacTavish.) . of The old axiom that good wine needs in no bush was not observed by the fea of my recollection: For this wi tavern flaunted a sign that wag large if a and square and much beaten . by act weather. The sign was supported by por a cedar post erected, almost in the Hall middle of the cross-roads, so that wo even those who ran might read. That Bill is, they might have read had not the fes characters on the face been almost pu wholly obliterated by sun and sleet his and snow, Nevertheless it stood ing 1 there with as much significance as cur the inscription above the bar -room bet door: "Licensed' to sell beer, wine An and other spirituous and' fermented his liquors." ' ' fac The roads crossed at the foot of if two hills, at the very foot of the sto r village. There stood the sign -post, S and over from it, against.the hillside, - Th lay the tavern, a gaunt, square light 'Mit brick structure with the bar -room slip steps at the nearest corner and a from the mill pile into the stove and main entrance ip the midklle. A plank sat back to- await the result. platform ran all across the front and I far enough 'around the end.to pass nig the bar -room door. In ordinary cir- gro cumstances an old-fashioned wooden chi pump would 'have stood on one cor- coo ner, but in its stead, just a few feet sta ofthe road a away, under the edge ., spring of clear water appeared. The ing water was cold, and it shone in the fid sun, turning over slowly .once or twice doi it slipped back into the earth "T again, to reappear by -the roadside, Gri behind the stables, in the form of a fro rivulet, which, after. many years me etilt prompted) away from it, at lengthp pt my dissertation on "The Source." - tun The real source of this stream was on farther up, past the grist mill and Bo behind the blacksmith's shop; but wa here by the tavern it made its first th real appearance. Sometimes, as wa children, on the way to school, we sto used to make the interesting experi- int ment of casting a chip of wood into li the churning waters, watch it glide a -fl down from sight, then run out behind lon the stables by the roadside, and wait n for it_to emerge triumphant into the via light. What a . weird, perilous voy- un age for craft so frail! How the chip he must have held its breath and shut Jp its eyes as it went hurtling and toss- ce ing through that subterranean pas- sa sage! Niagara gives . no more , gen- fe nine. thrill than this. Nor does wi Kakabeka, Montmorenci, or the- upper on chasms of the Fraser. an The water, following its course un- co der ground, flowed beneath the bar- ne room door, beneath the gravelled in space where steed's of noble blood hi have - stamped at the hitching post, he almost beneath the stables honored by the memory of Lord Haddow, so Prince Charlie, Pride of Perth, , Per-' its fection, and a line of other notable N beasts whose pedigrees hung upon; H the' bar -room walls. to The bar -room itself was the place liq of peculiar interest in those days. As br to beauty it could' make no boast, nor is was it attractive in its plainness. Its floor was plain and' bare, as was also H its walls, except for the hangers that le published the qualifications of speci- st mens of live stock, the dates of auc- br tion sales, the programmes of fall pe fairs and the wonderful attractions ed and Marvellous feats displayed by t some travelling circus. There were su the usual bar, the usual cuspidors; the to usual Windsor chairs, and the very. th usual flavor of stale beer and' cigar th stubs. - On the , shelf behind the bar was a modest- assortment of liquors, and in the middle, above the shelf, in- ex stead of the familiar picture of - a w horse -race, a boxing tournament" or a H cock -fight. the space was used to dis- p play the likeness of some prominent b politician. - In the seventies there w hung for years a large framed' por- in trait of Hon. George Brown, which fo in contradistinction to the m numerous crude, counterfeit present- w ments of local stallions and bulls. s Bull, singularly enough, was the e name of the landlady. She was at least a grass widow, and she, seemed s to enjoy dispensing liquors. It. was n a treat to see her plump right arm. o work the brass handle every time p anyone called for beer, her black w eyes flashing constantly, -and the h smooth ivory skin -of her cheeks sink- a ing into dimples with every jibe and r every - sally. - o Sally, odd as it may seem, was the a name -of her daughter. She, too, per- haps to her sorrow, had black eyes H and red lips and; . a marvellously f strange look that was not of earth nor a of sky. I have seen this mother and F this daughter, both beauties of the a same stock, the one enticing, the t other threatening; serving drink to • boisterous men who - revelled in a blatant boast and ribald jest. s Jesting and boasting were the con- t spicuous accomplishments, and while mighty deeds of 'valour can be recall= -f ed, one dare not- venture to perpetu- t ate the jokes. For the delicacies of s thought and speech oftentimes were disregarded and strong drink had a wonderfully loosening effect of the tongue. But boasting, in many ins- tances at least, is a harmless past - time, especially if you can get some- one else to boast for you. Take the case of Jack Lampert. Jack was a short, stocky, young farmer who was noted' for his great strength.- It was said of him that once during the hay- ing, `seeing a -rainstorm approaching, he went into a field with a barley folic and threw the haycocks on to the wagon, one at a time, as fast as the horses could walk. Jack was handi- capped inasmuch as he could not stage a haying scene in the bar -room. Instead he used to fold' fifty -cent sil- ver pieces with his fingers. Then there was big Bill Benson, who went about the countryside with Lord Haddow drew sawlogs in win- ter, and stopped at the tavern every time he perceived any likelihood of conviviality. His - turn, so to speak, -- was to carry the box stove full live coals out and set it down the middle of the 'road. This at was not likely to be performed wit at least a small wager, and stranger could not bejnduced to as victim, a drink or two on im- tant occasions like - . Christmas owe'en or somebody's birthday ild ease Bill's conscience. Because hoe re- like many another whose pre- sion compels him to appear in blit, believed in commercializing talent, or at least in not pander - to vulgar t v a without roti e g mer ly, p iosity. Under drink his bearing ame . heavy, his perception dull. d while he seldom lost the use of 'great strength, frequently his ulties lagged until it seemed as his great hulk acted while his mind od still. till in particular did it stand 'one anksgiving night when Charlie shell, anticipating the occasion ped some extra dry hardwood 3 5 Special otic We are in a position to accept orders f' Hot Water Heating Air and Pumps and Piping Eave Troughing Metal Work Ready Roofing Bathroom Plumbing, including- - Pressure Systems. - Leave your orders- at once.

Geo. he Wind Shook the Ba y mes, who shipped more fat cattle m .those parts than any other three n in the county, sat in a chair ed against the wall, humming the e and beating time with his fist the arm of the chair. Bobbie ak, a Nova Scotian, whose paunch s like a barrel, whose calling was at of drover, who carried a stop tch and had gold' in his front teeth, od with his hands in his pockets ently watching Jimmie's twinkling the legs and spitting betimes into at brown cuspidor. Arthur Bisail- , a French-Canadian, whose name no could pronounce, and who al- ys came in With a tin of oysters der his - arm, marked time with his el and picked his teeth with a quill. e, the teamster, having taken a five nt cigar on the first round of treats, t with his eyes on the ceiling, his et on the fender. The carpenter, th hair all round his neck like down a chicken, was ready for oysters d more than ready for gin, Gin he uld not resist, and he relished it at, because, as he was wont to re - ark, it smoothed out the wrinkles in s throat, and its . fumes were like ll fire. i Hell fire, . indeed, the Methodist ear- n used to call it, and the tavern elf was the' hell -hole of destruction. of so, however, in the opinion of Hi orner, man of all trades, who used say, whenever he had a glass of uor in his hand, "They claim that ead is the staff of life, but whiskey life itself." On this especial Thanksgiving night i leaned against the jamb of the door ading into the hallway, his whiskers ending straight out like a wire ush and the hair on his head clip - d close like a jail -bird's. He boast - of the finest set of teeth in the ownship, and to prove it he could, if fficiently provoked, bite through a npenny nail or take a chunk out of e hardest flint whiskey -tumbler at ever crossed a bar. Close to Hi stood the blacksmith, who never came dorm to the tavern cept on special occasions and al- ays called for ale in a pewter mug. is hair, as usual, was oiled and acted carefully all the way down the ack. He wore a mutton -chop beard hose ends were long enough to tie a bow -knot. He had' extraordinary orearms, acquired no' doubt by ham- ering at the anvil, and• he always' as willing to have a -trial of wrist trength with anyone, nd he usually arned a drink by a s'mple twist.

His st exquisite astime was breakingdoor panels ith his fists, but if only half tight e could spring into the air with the gility of a cat, kick one side of the oom with one foot, and then, with- ut touching the floor; bound across nd kick the other side. Kicking was Charley's long suit. e kicked Hi Horner in the face one all fair day, but didn't even loosen single tooth. He kicked off Finlay erguson's hard hat one fall fair day nd the row that followed lasted until hey laid poor Finlay on the hill. He N a good farmer, was Finlay, but sad humorist: like many other per - ons, he never seemed to know when o laugh. But laughing was. in order, even or Finlay, though it was suppressed, his Thanksgiving night when Jimmie topped dancing and Big Bill spat on his hands as he asked whether any- one would say that he could not carry out the stove just as it stood, fire and all. Everyone knew that the top was red hot, that it was roaring inside, that even the legs were warm. It was a tense moment. Mrs. Bull stood, arms akimbo, beside the cask of rye. Dimples appeared in her cheeks, and a flash of merriment in her eyes. For she was inured to the adventure,_ well schooled in the cunning knack of letting the men have their fling; Sally, resting thin el- bows on the bar and blanched cheeks in the hollows of her hands, fixed her eyes on a stranger who half sat on the window sill, in the ,shadow, be- hind the stove. Her stare no doubt, was a challenge to this man, for un- til now he had not suffered his eyes to turn away from feasting on her comeliness. Perhaps it was fate, perhaps it was perdition; but, what- ever it was some irresistible impulse UG R Tihe Sugar Season is now on and we can - supplyyou with any quantity, while it lasts at $23 PER CWT. HUMPHRIES & CO., Walton - Phone 9 on 232. Ont. must have surged within them. "Will anyone bet me I can't do it?" shouted Bfll, again spitting en his hands. No one replied. "Will anyone stand the drinks if I do it?" All but Bill himself realized that the stove - was red hot, and, knowing t to the heli themselves at alllaughed uag prospect of seeing the local giant thwarted at last. . Just - then the stranger came out Then we could see, the shadow. and Sally also should have seen, all the more plainly, that. he had an un- certain kind of good looks, with black eyes, a flowing black, moustache, rather flashy clothes and a brilliant scarf pin. "I tell you what I'll do," he said, addressing Bill: "if you carry that stove but. I'll carry it in again." Bill looked aghast. Here after all was one who challenged his hitherto aeknowled'ged supremacy. What could it mean? It was not possible that this upstart of ordinary physique could wrest from him 'the sweetness of his present glory. Let him _ try. At this turn of events Mrs. Bull's dimples disappeared, but Sally didn't change a hair. Bill, striding over to- wards the stove, contemptuous of the stranger, stretched his arms and shouted for someone to open the door. Two or three jumped forward, and almost before anyone could tell just what was happening, Bill ,went out through the door, holding by some superhuman resistance the hot stove in front of him. The pipes clattered to the floor and' smoke filled' the room. Everyone rushed towards the door, and when the last of us got out we saw Bill standing serenly over the stove warming his hands. Presently he looked about him, and then called for the stranger. The stranger, true to type, had' re- mained inside to snatch a word with Sally. But now he stood boldly silhouetted in the doorway. 1'Now, stranger, said' Bina "itis your turn." "There's no hurry," replied the stranger. "Let's all cool off." ,"The stove too," said Bill, with a sneer. "The stove too," said the stranger: "I didn't say when I'd carry it back." There was something tantalizing in this tone, for- Bill sprang towards him and was about to strike when Sally rushed in between them. The stranger drew the girl to one side, and then' addressed Bill. "I didn't come here," he said slovi- ly, "to fight. Nor do I intend to carry a red-hot stove. But I tell you what I'll do: we'll wait till the stove cools off, and then, to make up for the heat I'll carry it in again 'with' Sally sit- ting on top." While the stove was ccioling off everyone went inside again, and the stranger stood' fihe treats all round. Them he stood them •a second time, taking whiskey himself, neat, and .swallowing it with a little gurgle that made Joe look narrowly, at him across the edge of the bar. The bar was not long enough for all to stand up to it abreast, so the -stranger stepped back to let Yankee Tom reach for his glass. As he did i so, Sally came from behind; and look- ed saucily up at him. With that he crooked his elbows and invited the girl to sit therein and put one arm round his neck. Inthat position he walked with her triumphantly, as we thought, out and placed her neatly on top of the stove. Then he stooped down and with what seemed like the greatest of ease he lifted the stove, Sally and all, and carried it gracefully into its proper place. And he did more than that, for a few nights lat- er he disappeared, and, what was al- ways regarded as a remarkable co- incidence., Sally disappeared at the same time. Nobody ever seemed to hear any- thing more about Sally, and in time she was forgotten. Perhaps not al- together forgotten, for there is one at least who remembers her black eyes; her red lips and the look that was 'not of earth nor of sky. with honors and the entry (Sup.) indi- cates that the candidate was success- ful in all but one paper of that part, and is permitted, under the regula- tions, to complete his examination by taking that supplemental paper at any subsequent examination and obtaining 60 per cent. thereon.

Road, when their only daughter, Jessie Stewart, was united in the e holy bond's of matrimony to Mr. Henry Pekeldei, of Niagara Falls, N. Y. The ceremony was per -- formed by the bride's pastor, Rev. S. McLean, of Egmondville, in the presence of about thirty relatives. The bride, who wasgiven away by her father, looked very sweet in a lovely embroidered white net, and wore sweet heart roses. The fact that the gown was made by the bride's, grandmother, _Mrs. Robert Charters, who is in her 75th year, was rather - unique and interesting. The parlor - was beautifully decorated with an abundance of Shasta daisies, and the table decorations were sweet peas and roses. The bridesmaid was Miss Margaret Grieve, of Egmondville, a -cousin of the bride, who looked charm- ing in an overdress of maize colored georgette, with maize crepe de chene under and Nile 'green velvet corsage, also wearing sweet heart roses. The little flower girl, Miss Isabel Camer- on, a great friend of the bride, looked sweet in white, The groom was ably assisted by his friend. Mr, Gowling, of Niagara Falls. After the cere- mony all repaired to the dining room where an abundant luncheon was served. The bridal party then motor- ed' to Seaforth and took the afternoon train amid showers of confetti and. good wishes for a very happy life, the bride travelling in a very becom- ing suit dress -of navy blue serge with trimming of seal brown summer fur, and hat to match. The groom gave the bridesmaid a pretty pearl ring and the flower girl a pretty signet ring.
