In Ontario there are 916 branch
Institutes, with a membership of
approximately 80,000. The province
le divided into three divisions, east-
ern, central and western Ontario.
Eastern Ontario contains three, cen-
tral Ontario eleven, and western
Ontario three subdivisions.
The delegates to the annual con-
vention In each division name a
representative from their respective
subdivision to form a Board of
Directors for the Prgvinclal Feder-
ation. These directors, from among
themselves, elect officers on the exe-
cutive, and also name representa-
tives to the Dominion Federation.
The principle and designation of
the standing committees and the
system of holding and tinaocing their
meetings is provided for in the con-
stitution at the provincial organiz-
ation and the following committees
have been named; Health, Education
and Better Schools; lmntlgratloq,
Agriculture, Legislation, Home Eco-
nomics and Publicity,
Annual conventions ate held at
Ottawa, London and Toronto; plans
for the same being made in co-
operation with representatives of the
provincial committee and local com-
mittees chosen at the time of the
conventions.
The Institutes are entirely inde-
pendent of the Department, so far as
their local meetings are concerned.
The provincial organization is also
quite Independent of the depart-
ment, but it is utilized in an 'ad-
visory capacity. The superintendent
of Institutes suggests lines of work
for the Institutes•from time to time,
and places before them reports of
what the Institutes are doing in var-
ious sections of the province, as well
as other sections of the Dominions.
The Department furnishes lecturers
for single meetings, and ustructore
for short courses as outlined In cir-
cular No, 18.
The membership fee of twenty -live
cents per member is wholly used for
local purposes. The Government
grant Is $3 to each hranetm having a
men:bet,;,iip of fifteen and letting
at least Rix meetings a year and furn-
ishing the reports asked for by the
Department, including a list of
members, financial statement and
brief reports of tneetlnl;s. A grant
of 810 Is also given to the district
organization, with an addition of 13
on account of each branch in the
district which makes a satisfactory
report.—Geo. A-. Putnam, Severir:ten-

FOR FLETCHER'S
CASTORIA
e
By
Frances Hodgson Burnett
Toronto—William Briggs -
(Continued from last week.)
As Tesnbarom iietened, and watch-
ed his neat, blond countenance, and
noted the undertone of quite desper-
ate appeal in Ma low voice, he was
thinking of a number of things.
Chiefly he was thinking of little Ann
Hutchinson and the Harlem flat which
might have been "run" on fifteen dol-
larsa week.
"I want to know I have someone in
this museum of a place who'll under -
Stand," he said—"someone who'll do
just exactly what I say and ask no
fool questions and keep his mouth
shut. I believe you could do It."
"I'll swear I could, sir. Trust me,"
was Pearson's astonishingly emotional
and hasty answer.
"I'm going to," returned Mr. Tem-
ple°Barholm. 'I've set my mind on
putting something through in my
own way. It's a queer thing, and
most people would say I was a fool
for trying it. Mr. Hutchinson does,
but Miss Hutchinson dosen't."
There was a note in his tone of
saying "Miss Hutchinson doesen't"
which opened up vistas to Pearson—
strange vistas when one thought of
old Mrs. Hutchinson's cottage and the
estate of Temple Barholm.
"We're just about the same age,"
his employer continued, "and in a
sort of way we're in just about the
same fix."
Their eyes looked into' each other's
a second; but it was not for Pearson
to presume to make any continent
whatsoever upon the possible nature
of "the fix." Two or three more
puffs, and Mr. Temple Barholm spoke
again.
"Say, Pearson,.I don't want to butt
in, but what about that little bunch
of calico of yours the one you're
saving up for?"
"Calico, air?" said Pearson, at sea,
but hopeful. Whatsoever the new
Mr. Temple Barholm meant, one be-
gan to realize that it was not likely
to be unfriendly,
"That's American for her, Pear-
son. 'Her' stands for the sante thing
both in English and American, I
guess. What's her name and where
is she? Don't you say a word if you
don't want to,"
Pearson drew a step nearer. There
was an extraordinary human atmos-
phere ih the room which caused things
to begin to go on in his breast. Ile
had had a harder Jife than Tembaron,
because he had laden more timid and
less, buoyant and less unselfconscious.
He had been beaten by a drmukeu
mother and kicked by_a drunken fa-
ther. He had gone hungry and faint
to thean
bo d school and had been
est
punished as a dull boy.After
y he had
struggled into a place as page, he had
been bullied by footmen and had had
his ears boxed "by cooks and butlers.
Ladies' -maids and smart housemaids
had sneered at him, and made him
feel himself a hopeless, vulgar little
worm who never would "get on."
But he had got nn, in a measure,
because he had worked like, a slave
and openly resented nothing. A
place like this had beenhis fevered
hope and dream from his page days,
though of course his imagination had
not encompassed attendance on a
gentleman who had never owned a
dress -shirt in his life. Yet gentle-
man or no gentleman, he was a
Temple Barholm, and there was some-
thing about him, something human in
his young voice and grin and queer,
unheard-of New York jokes, which
Pearson had never encountered, and
which had the effect of making him
feel somehow more of a man than his
timorous nature had ever allowed of
his feeling before. It suggested
that they were both, valet and
master, merely masculine human
creatures of like kind. The way he
had said "Miss Hutchinson" and the
twinkle in his eye when he'd made
that American joke about the "little
bunch of calico"! The curious fact
was that thin,' neat, white.blooded-
looking Pearson was passionately in
love. So he took the step nearer and
grew hot and spoke low.
"Her name is Rose Merrick, sir,
and she's in place in London. She's
lady's maid to a lady of title, and it
isn't an easy place. Her lady has a
high temper, and she's economical
with her servants. Her maid has to
sew early and late, and turn out a,
much as if she was a whole dress-
making establishment. Sloe's clever
with her needle, and it would be
easier if she felt it was appreciated.
But she's treated haughty and severe
though she tries her very best. She
has to wait up half the night after
balls, and I'm afraid it's brealcing
her spirit and her health. That's
why,—I beg your pardon, air," he
added, his voice shaking—"that's why
I'd bear anything on earth if I could
giv6 her a little home of her own."
"Gee,whizz!" ejaculated Mr. Tem-
ple Barholm, with feeling. "I guess
you would "
"Anel that's not all, sir," said Peat' -
'son. "She's a beautiful girl, sir, with
a figure and service is sometimes not
easy for a young woman like that.
His lordship,—the master of the
souse, sir, -is ,much too attentive.
He's a man with bad habits; the last
lady's -maid was sent away . in dis-
grace. Her ladyship wouldn't believe
she hadn't been forward when she
saw things she didn't like, though
every one in the hall knew the girl
hated his bold ways with her, and
her mother nearly broke her heart.
He's begun with Rose, and it just
drives me mad, sir, it does!"
He choked and wiped his forehead
with his clean handkerchief. It was
damp, and his young eyes had fire
in them, as Mr. Temple Barholm did
not fail to observe.
'I'm taking a liberty talking to
t"moi+tial; 't

. Pearson staid, "Thxtt'e :not what hap-

off with her Iadyribily' and coax her
round .But a girl titat's discharged
like that, Rose says, haat's the worst
of it: she says She's Sot a character
fastened on to her for life that no
respectable man ought,. to marry her
with."
Sir. Temple Barbelm removed his
leg from the arm of 'his chair and
got- up. Longe sinewy, but
somewhat slouchy n his badly made
tweed suit, sharp New York face and
awful American style notwithstand-
ing, he still looked rather nice as he
laid his hand on his valet's shoulder
and gave him a friendly Push,
"See here," he said. "What you've
got to say to Rose is tha! she's just
got to cut that sort of thing out—
cut it right out. Talking to a man
that's in love with her es if he was
likely to throw her down b,r'atlse lies

forget it quick. Why, what does she
suppose a man's for, by jinks? What's
he for?"
"I've told her that, sir, though of
course not in American. I just swore
it on my knees in Hyde Park one
night when she got out for an hour.
But she laid her poor heal on the
back of the bench and cried and
wouldn't listen. She says she cares
for me too much to—"
Tembarom's had clutch,•! hi, shoul-
der. His face lighted a- I glowed
suddenly.
"Care for you too much," he asked.
"Dili she nay that? God hh•ss her!"
"That's what I said," Broke in
Pearson,
"I heard another 'girl -sy that—
just before I left Newt' '1' •ri:—a girl
that's just a wonder," sail his mas-
ter. "A girl Can be a w•ome•r, can't
she?"
"Rose is, sir," protested Parson,
"She is, indeed, sir, And her eyes

"Blue, are -they?" interciete•d Tem-
barom. "I know the ki: I I'm on

imnrenscrly convincing - nphasis.
"she's going to have that ^.lc honor
of her own." He paused o moment
fear reflection, and then n sudden
thought presented itself to 4i:n. "Why
darn it!" he exclaimed, Sere must
be a whole raft of little ' ,rites that
belong t.o ane in one place .r another.
Why couldn't I fix y'ou •both up in

What he thought .,oing, how he
thought of doing it, 'u I what Pear-
son was to expect, the .: 'itated young
man did not know. The situation
was of course abnornia'. judged by all
respectable, long -est ab :had custom.

"I never dreamed • . rrDing so far,

"Good thing you ria It's made me
feel as if we were lir hers." Ile
laughed again, enjoyin. the thought
of the little thing who -ed for Pear-
son "too much" and had yes that were
"that blue." "Say, i i just thought
of something else. ole - you bought
her an engagement -rim.[ yet?"
"No, sir. In our 'lac of life jew-
elry is ,beyond the nese s,"
"I just wondered," lir. Temple
Barholm saki. He s. - sed to be
thinking of aomethitsz that pleased
him as he fumbled G -r his pocket-
book and took a clean banknote out
of it, "I'm not cnt t , u' -tat the value
of this thing is in res: money, but
you go and buy her n ring with it,
and I bet she'll he so ;-teased you'll
have the time of your :ire."
Pearson taking it, n':d recognizing
its value in unreal mosey, was em-
barrassed by feeling the necessity of
explanation.
This is a five -pound note, sir. It's
too much, sir, !t iv n: -seed. This
would furnish the fun ' parlor." Iie
said it almost solniii" '.
Mr. Temple Barholm '•inked at the
note interestedly.
"Would it? By .lir., s!" and his
laugh had a certain s •ftnese of re-
collection. "I guess Iha!'a just what
Ann would say. She'd know what it
would furnish, you hal your life!"
"I'm mast grateful, sir," protested
Pearson, "but I oughtn't to take it.

plied Mr. Temple Berhpltn, And
Jit here hit) face .dragged as Mr.
Palford. had seen it change before,
and as Pearson often saw. it change
later. His' New Terh jocular irrever-
ence dropped from him and he looked
mature and oddly serious.
"I've tried to sort of put you wise
to the way I've lived and the things
I haven't hof ever since I was born,'
he said, 'but I guess you don't really
know a thing about it. I've' get more
money coming do every year t n a
thousand of me would ever expeecct to
see in their lives, according to my
calculation. And I don't know how

"You'll do good, sir,—to every one."
"Shall I?" said Tembarom.. specu-

"Thanp you, sir, thank you," said
Pearson, putting the' note into his

"Not a thing, But just go and

CHAPTER XIII
In the course of two days Mr.
Pafford, having given ,his client the
benefit of his own exact professional
knowledge of the estate of Temple
Barholm and its • workings and priv-
ileges as far as he found them trans-
ferable and likely to be understood,
returned to London, breathing per-
haps something like a sigh of relief
when the train steamed out of the
little station. Whatsoever happened
in days to conte, Palford & Griutby
had done their most trying and awk-
ward duty by the latest Temple
Barholm. Bradford, who was the
steward of the estate, would now
take hint over, and could be trusted
to furnish practical information of
any ordinary order.
It did not appear to 11r. Palford

hilaraited by the extraordinary turn
in his fortunes. The enormity of
Teeple Barholm itself, regarded as
a house to live in an everyday man-
na•, scented snurw'hat t depress him.
\elan he was taken occr i!a hundred
nd fifty rooms. he ware a detached
as he looked ab.,tit him, and
t:ch remarks us hr mmle were of an
extraordinary nature owl expressed
in terms peculiar to America. Neither
Ilh•. Palford nor Rurriil understood

tion, was ghat!, of a convulsive snort
and immediately made his way into
the corridor, coughing violently.
Frim this lir, Palferd gathered that
one of the transatlantic j"kes had
been made. That w•ns the New Yolk
idea—to be jocular. Yet he had not
looked jocular when he had made the
remark which had upset the eluili-
briunt of the young fooUuan. Iie had
in fact, looked reflective before
speaking as Ile stood awl studied a
portrait of one of his ancestors. Dui,
then, he had a trick of saying things
incomprehensibly ridiculous with an
unmoved expression of gravity, which
led Palford to feel that lie was
ridiculous through utter ignorance
and was not aware that he was ex-
posing the filet.. who thoaght
that. an air of seriousness added to
a hantoroua renutrk were especially
annoying to the solicitor, because
they frequently betrayed cote into the
position of seenticpl to he dull in the
mntler of seeing a point. That, lie
hall ohsr+ird, was often part of the
New York nanny --to make a total-
ly absurdly exaggerated or seemingly
ignorance -revealing observation, and
then leave one's bearer to decide for
himself whether the speaker was an
