SEVENTH INSTALMENT
SYNOPSIS •
When the wealthy foster par-
ents of Marjorie Wetherill both
die she find's a Setter telling that
elle has a twin sister, that she
was adopted when her own par-
ents couldn't afford to support
]botch of them and that her real
name is Dorothy Gay. Alone. in
the world, but with a fortune of
her own, she considers looking up
her own family whom she :has nev-
er seen. A ,neighbor, Evan Bow-
er, tries to argue her out of it and
tells her ire loves her and asks
her to marry him. She promises
to think iutLover but decides first
to see her family. She goes to
their address, finds that they are
destitute. Her sister and brother
resent her,'. being 'there but her
Mother anal father are very joy-
ful over it." Finally, wham she
buys them all the. thiegs they need
the whole balmily celebrate her
appearance. Tbbey tell her about
the wonderful place called Brent-
wood where they dived before her
father lost Gia job.
"Oh, I'll straighten it a little. But
I wish you would go up with him•this
time. I hate to meet him Iook-ing this
way. I ripped the s eeve half out of
any dress last nig when I stooped
over to pick up y, and I've just
spilled some gr down the .front of
it. I'm a sight! And this is, the only
dress I have. couldn't possibly get
it washed out and ironed and en be-
fore he comes."
"Oh, I can fix that," ..said Mar-
jorie Suedng; "you'll wear one of my
dresses ;f coarse. We're just the
same so it's sure to fit you. Let's
open t• suitcase and rummage-"
Be:', s eyes Lighted with sudden
longing, but her lips set in a thin
Zine.
"Indeed I couldn't deck myself
out in your wonderful clothes,. I
couldn't do that!"
' "No?" said Marjorie teasingly.
"Suppose I deck you ellen? Come on,
let's see what I've got that will be
suitable."
She dashed into the frontt hall,
brought back lier airplane luggage
and opened it right there in the
kitchen before the ravished eyes of
her beauty -starved sister.
Marjorie reached under the neat
muslin packing bags, tbet contained
frivolous eyening things and' pulled,
out two knitted d•ress•es, simple of
line, lovely of quality, and rich of
oolbr-
"T'here!" said Marjorie tha.ppily,
"take your pick. I think there's a
blue one here somewhtere, too. Yes,
here it is," end, she flung it across
a chair- "Put them all on and see
which you like the best!"
Betty stood spellbound.
"Oh! I couldn't wear those lovely
things. It wouldn't seem right!"
"Now, please, Betty, don't spoil
things by objections. Put them on
one at a time and let me see which
is the most becoming."
Betty finally chose the dark blue.
"It is lees dressy than the others,"
she said gravely, "though it's awfully
smart. I couldn't est anything hand-
somer on this earth. I never thought
1'd, have a chance to even try on one
of those wonderful hand-knit cos-
tumes.
"Well, fel be awfully careful of it,"
compromised Betty, "and I'll take it
off as even as the doctor has gone."
"Nonsense! Yo el deo no such
thing!" said Marjorie. "You'll wear
it whenever you like. Here, I've got
a couple of little cotton house
gowns, sort of aprons they are, to
"slip •over another dress when you're
actually working. You take the biue
one and 1'11 take the pink, and then
we can tell each other apart. We'll
put those on for kitchen work." '
"You make life a kind of play,"
sajd Betty as she wonderingly obey-
ed. "It doesn't seem right to be doll-
ed up like this. to make a bed."
Presently they heard the doctor
coming upon the punch and Betty

Marjorie looking up caught a
bright Rams of color on Betty's
face and thought how pretty she
looked in the mew dress. She won-
dered in passing if this nine pleasant
dootor wan interested in her sister?
Betty lingered a moment at the
door talking with the doctor, eating
h'iarl particularly about her mother's
diet and .medicine, and the young
doctor looked at her approvingly
and smiled as he fi'n'ally went out.
Ever since she had arrived Mar-
jorie had been planning what she
would do, but there hadn't as yet
been time to caau-y out her planet.
"Monday you and, I ought to go out
and do some Christmas shopping,"
said Marjorie to Betty as they were
pubein'g everything in shining order
Saturday ertendng. after supper.
"Christmas shopping, my eye! A
lot of Christmas sthoppin'g I could do.
I haven't got ten cents of my own,•"
said Betty ruefully.'
"Oh, yes, you have," laughed
Marjorie. "Look in your purse. I put
some in there this afternoons while
you were down at the store and it's
for Chriistmas lshoppin'g and nothing
else,"
"Do you think I would go Christ-
mas chopping with your money?" ask-
ed Betty scornfully.
"It's not my money," laughed Mar-
jorie, "it's ytours. I gave it to you so
we could have some fun. You don't
think it's any fun, do you, to 'do all
the sihopp'ing • myself, and not have
anybody else be getting up secrets
too? Now don't act that way."
"And I heed to think• you were
selfish!" said Betty sorrowfully.
It was Sunday morning while they
were getting breakfast together that
Marjorie asked quite casually:
"Where do you go to church? Is
it far from here?"
Betty stopped stirring the pancake
batter she was preparing and staved
at her.
"Go to church?" she laughed.
"We don't go. We haven't since we
left Brentwood. For one thing we
didn't have the clothes to go there
or anywhere else. And for another
thing I guess we were all too dis-
couraged and- disibeartened to bother
about church. People don't feet mu'eh
interested in going to church when
they are having such a time as we've
drat. Lt isn't easy to believe in a God
whlo lets people like Father and
Mother suffer as they have done. I
don't believe in a God myself."
Marjorie looked at her aghast.
"Oh, Betty! That's awful! You
mustn't talk that way."
"Why not, I'd like to know? Do
you believe in a God?"
"Certainly.
"Why de you?"
Marjorie hooked at her thought-
fully.
"I never stopped to think aboti•t
why," she said slowly, "but I do. I
certainly do!"
"Well, I didn't mean to worry you,
only you asked about going to church
and I .suppose you'll be disappointed
in us if that's what you expect of us.
Not one of us goes- to church except
Ted. He's the religious one of the
flock." •
"Ted?" said Marjorie lifting aston-
ished eyes•.
"Yes, Ted.. He's as faithful as the
clock. Ile walks away back to Brent-
wood every Sundtay. De's got a crush
on a young preacher back there, and
we can't keep him away. He'll prob-
ably want to walk you w.ay out there
with him if you suggest church, to
/him-"
"Why, I'd love to go," said Marjor- ,
ie. "Why don't we both go? Lt's a
gorgeous morning."
"Thanks, no." said Betty coldly. "I
don't feel religiously inclined, and
anyway, I 'haven't a coat. You could
not just divide your coat with ane,
though I presume you would if it were
possible. Besides, it's you that wants
to go to church, not me. Here, Ted,"
as the boy Dame :i'n from the street,
"here's • a oandidrate to go to church
with you."
Ted looked at Marjorie with a sud-
den sparkle in his eyes.
"Sure, I'll take bet," he said diffi-
dently. "But you vets walk. There
is no earline exoeibt a long roum'cla-
botit way-"
The young doctor look ed at her approvingly.
the door, her hair a little gold flame
of light about her ebap'ely head.
Marjorie, standing back Ln the tiny
parlor almost out of view had time
to notice the quick look of interest
in the doctor's face as he took ac-
Otount of the exceedingly pretty 'gi'rl
who was meeting him, and the little
flash of rose that crept up into
Betty's cheeks. as sure met his glaze.
Then the doctor /tu'rned and leaked
keenly at Marjorie,
"Oh, you're the new sister, aren't
you?" he sold pleasantly. "Aren't
you twins? You look •so very much
alike. I doubt if r could have, told
you apart if I hadn't met Ulm B'ettty
Several times."
"I'Il love to wank!" said Marjorie:
So Marjourle and her brother started
off to ohuteh.
"I guess you'll be ashamed of me,
but they don't mend clothes' where
we're going."
"No," sari Marjorie thoughtfully,
"I'm not ashamed of you, I'm proud
'of you. Things like that are only com-
parative, anyway, aren't they? They
shouldn't have only part ih, going
to church,"
Ted eyed her speculatively, and fin-
ally ventured another question:
"I guess you're saved, aren't you?"
"Saved?" said Marjorie altogether
startled. The phreiree was not common
among the young people she knew.
"You have to be born again, you
know."
She gave rima, another keen look anti
es if he were answering the question
in her eyes he said:
"You believe, you knew, t1i is how
you get to be borne again. That's how
you get saved. You just believe."
"Believe?" said Marjonte inqudrimg-
ly. She didn't say "believe what?"
'jut her tone snidr it. So he answer-
ed.
„Believe that J'esust IS the Son of
God and died to take our sins upon
Himself and enfferr their penalty."
Ile explained It gravely, as if he had
drone it before, and Understood thor-
oughly what it meant.
"Why, I guess I believe that," said
Marjorie, "I've never really thought
much about it, but I believe it of
course. It's all In the Bible, isn't it?
I believe the Bible.. I was taught to
believe tthat when I was very young,
though I'.m not sure I know much
about it."
"Gee, it's great when you get to
studying ort!" said Ted irrelevantly.
Marjorie looked at him in surprise.
"Have you studied it?"
"Sure! We had Bible classes twice
a week at the Brentwood chapel. Gosh,
I was sorry to move away!"
"You must have had a good teach-
er," said/ Marjonfe wonderingly.
"I'll say he wase! He was swell!
He seemed to know just what you'd
been going through that day, and how
to show you where you'd got off the
track, see?"
"Who is this teacher?" •
"Gideon Reaver's his. name. He's
just a young fella; only been out of
Seminary a iittle over, a year, but
he certainly knows hire Bible. °Ile can
preach all around any Preacher I ever
heard before. But you'll bear him.
You'll see what he's like."
"Well, .1 hope I shall be able to
keep from going crazy over him,"
Marjorie smiled.
Ted turned• red.
"Oh, you're not like that. You're
senrsible ! ,But ire's a prince; you know.
I'm not blaming 'em for going crazy
over him. If I was a girl I might do
it myself." -
"Did Betty used to go to church
with you when you, lived in Brent-
wood?" asked Marjorie.
Ted's face darkened.
"No!" he said shortly. "She wouldn't
go. She said the had no time for
church. She was all taken up with a
poor fish in the office where s/he
worked. He useta come out in a
secondhand roadster and take her
places.. He made me site. Had one
of those 'little misplaced eyebrows on
'his upper lip, though he was smart,
could smoke More cigarettes in an
'hour than anybody I ever heard of,
and wore his/ hat way off on the back
of his ahead like he wall bored, with
the world and thought lib was too
good to associate with common
people."
"Then she doesn't know Gideon
Reaver?"
"No, she wouldn't be introduced one
day when 1 brought him home. Site
said she didn't care to know preach-
ers, they would bore her, and it might
be embarrassing to have him 'hanging
around. 01+, she makes me sick, soarie-
times•."
"I guess s'he's had rather a hard
time," suggested Marjorie gently.
"Sure she has! We've .obi 'lad a
hard time. And she's been a good
scout, worked, like everything to take
care of Mother anal' Father, and all
that, but still—somettimos she makes
me sick."
He suddenly broke off and' his voice
grew jubilant. "There's Brentwood
now! See it up there on the hill?
And that's our house, that long 'bow
stone house with the white .pillars to
the porch? Isn't that some Dwelt loea.-
tion? And there! Upon my Word if
there doesn't come Gideon Beaver
now;"
Then Marjorie Looked up to see a
tall finely built young ni'an conning
toward her with astonishingly won-
derful eyes that seemed to have seen
further into life than most men See,
yet they had ...a deep sweet settled
peace in them. She wandered If it

FARM BOYS SHOWING

The young Ontario farmers of to-

them th:raugh the Agricultural Repres-
entative Branch, Ontario Department

There are fifty-three Agricultural
Representatives do Ontario who this
year will be responsible for tete or-
ganization and training of ani average
of six bays' clubs with an average
membership of 102. Farm boys from
12 to 20 years of age are eligible.
The clubs have d'efiaite projects. On-
tario having an Empire -wide reputa-
tion for good live stock, tit is only na-
tural that calf clubs should head the
list of 'projects'- Each boy raises and
feeds a pure bred' calf, finally showing
the animal ah an 'aat'tievement day' in
competition with his fellows in that
oat-tieular county. The winners go on
to provincial competition and these
-winners to Dominion competition. at
the Royal Winter Fair, Similar work
Is undertaken in grain, foal, potato,
e'wine, poultry, sheep and garden
clubs. -

formed this year which means over

Nevertheless, rigtht n'ow the. 'world's
principal map makers are hard. at
work changing their iplateis of Europe,
so that school boards buying 'Ube text
books for geography and history chess,
es will be able to have a revised 'map
of Middle Europe for the comng Sep-
tember.
Nearly all maps of recent publise -
/eon now show Mussolini's additions
to his Italian East African genitive,
Most have marked chane in South
and' Central America, but elsewhere,
as in China; and Spainy events trans-
pire So s'w'iftly ae to render any map
obsolete almost before it is drawn.
Mdp making is one of the oldest of
the arts and sciences. Us' thiettery
stretches' back beyond the dimly: re-
corded pages' to early efforts-oa clay
tablets in Babylonia, paprus in Egypt,
and stone in China. The early May -
ante made small area sketches, like-
wise the Polynesians. In fact, the
history of, maps shows' they were al-
most a universal achievement. M'an'y
were mere artistic then 'scientifically
accurate, and many were neither ac-
curate nor, artistic.
During the middle ages, when the
theory of the sphera•city of the earths
was declared unscriptnral, there were
few world maps of any preetical va-
lue. Then, during the period before
and after Columbus di.scovened Amer-
ica;- cartography tcok a decided jump
ahead uroder such famous men as Ger-
hard Mercator, Leonardo da Vin'ai,
and Sebastian Cabot- Then came
Germans, Italians and Dutch, all
founding schools which played active
parts in laying down the cartographic
fundamentals i'bllowed today. Probab-
ly it was the French, however, who
really 'accomplished the most at this
period, tor up to true eighteenth cen-
tury French explorers were active all
over the globe, principally in the
New World, Deiisle and d'Anville are
two names which stand for much
among map makers.
Today, many of the historic maps
extant are spread throughout the
world in museums, libraries and art
collections. One of the finest coliec-
tions is in the Library of Con:gnesrs,
Washington, D. C., under the care of
the Division of Maps, Col, Lawnenee
Martel n.
For our starting point in traoldng
down the story orf how modern maps
are made, we might vieit the Carto-
graphic Research Library of one of
the largest publishers of maps in the
United States, Rand McNally & Com-
pany, Chicago. 'Ilhei r fees) consist
not only of thousands of maps and
other publications, but documents and
copies of documents c.fi.•'al and other-
wise, relating lo deci,;:,,ns, and treat-
kresulting in political changes.
Rand McNrally, like many other
large map -making, concerns, has a
representative in Wa511ti,ngton who is
in constant contact with the various
embas'sie's whose countries may be in-
volved in frontier disputes'. Tee carto-
grapher must begin work as soon as
official data is available.
Many times, only a portion of a
map is corrected. This portion, or
"pattcdh" as it is called, is made by
'the wax engraving process and when
completed the troundryman saws out
a section of the original map plate
and inserts the corrective "patch."
Today, map making es practically
all mechanical. Once the necessary
reeeat-oh among existing maps, re-
cords, government reports and notes
on explorations is comspleted, the rest
is done by machine.
It isn't even necessary for cartog-
rapbens to be good at lettering any
more. The larger concerns all use
photographic lettering. C,a r e f 1114 y
drawn or printed alphabets are set up
for labels, and' the different combina-
tions are photogratphed, cut out, and
pasted on a master map. Each new
place name thus becomes a new
patch on an old map. Phar physical
maps, pen strokes by tee thousands
portray mountain ranges and peaks.
When new 'baps are being made,
the photographic negative is com-
pounded from as many as 16 quainter
sheets all attached to an easel board.
Oriented in their proper places on
the easel, this composition makes a
total of four layers with "windows"
or holes in the t'h'ree upper layers,
through which the map composers
can assure hair-splitting alignment of
features such as highways, rivers,
mountains, etc. The board is then
photographed and after each exposure
one Ieyer of quarter sheets is remov-
ed.
When the composite negative in de-
veloped, the next process, (for mak-

Junior Farmer Associations (boys
up to 30 years of age) are also sweep-
ing on to new membership records:
While complete figgres are not avail-
able at the present time, the records
show 129 Associations already form-
ed

tal of 93 in 1938. There were 3,248
organized Junior Farmers in/ Ontario
bast year with sixteen county amoeba.-
eons

Otte of the features of the Junior
Farmer movement is the interest be-
ing sthown by the older boys in Boys'
Club work. Many of them• are acting
as coaches and advisors to the young-
er lads and teaching them the Im-
portant points in raising the stand-
ard of Ontario Agriculture.

making ai print on a sensitized metal
eheet. Then a special black grease
is smeared on, which sticks to the
lines and areas fixed by the exposure
and wipes off from the other places.
After careful checking and retouch-
ing
etouching by skilled artisans the plate goes
into the press, where greasy ink and
wipe are alternately applied. Only
the greasy spots pick up the ink, pass-
ing it to tore transfer cylinder, then
to paper; and the map is finished.
There are variations to the process,
depending on what the publishers
wish to accomplish, but, in general,
that is the routine.
Ittakes a"great many maps of all,
kinds to accomplish every task set for
them. Three types are featured in
nearly all geography booksfor gram-
mar school children, political, physi-
cal ands °industrial. Other maps show
the distribution of population, religion,
races, natural resources roads, rail-
way lines, industries, oolonies, edu-
cation, shipping routes, so many in-
terests, in fact, that 'there is hardly
a major problem in the world that
cannot be illustrated by a• map.
Under the present Washington ad-
ministration, there has been greater
activity in map making than ever be-
fore- It seems that whenever a new
project comes up for discussion in
the nation's capital, a map turns up
from somewhere. The Resettlement
Admin'is'tration, the WPA and the
TVA are but three-, divisions of the
government more responsible than,
most far making govern,ment map
makers work overtime. Some sur-
prising things were discovered, for
•exampile, when information, available
to the Resettlement Administration
was transferred to maps. A new lard
use program was inaugurated for Cali-
fornia, Arizona, Nevada and Utah,
when it. became apparent to a south-
west conference, supplied with maps
showing fertility of land and, amount
'of water, that the fertile soil avail-
able was less than 'rad been 'believed.
Industr'ial maps inaugurated by the
French have given rise to "imdustria'l-
'ography, ' which slows by means' of
maps the position of factories and
trade groupings in relation to streets
and towns. So valuable are maps al-
Jready completed of the sn1burbs of
Paris than a move to map the whole
of France in this way is under Don -

Mapping also gained several thou-

West Indies, sometimes called "The
Pearl of the Antilles," needed; revis-

some 30,000 acres, than, shown on ex-

and the necessity for remaking maps
that were hazy, the Topographical
Survey of Canada rounded out aerial
surveys that have been under cons'id-
'eration in the northland ever since
the World War. Mapping by means
of aerial photography has developed
into a ubole new field of science

Simple "mask

Upper right, various cut-outs: keyhole, gothic window, field glasses,
stairway window, giant cactus silhouette, poethole and rocky cave mouth.
CNAPSHOTS with trick "frames"
are easy to take, and fun to
show. You can get pictures appar-
ently made through keyholes or
field glasses—and many other novel
effects.
Obtain an ordinary cardboard box.
It should be about twelve inches one
way, and eight inches or more the
other two dimensions. Exalyt size
doesn't matter. Cut a hole in the
middle of one end, a bit larger than
your camera lens. Cut a large open-
ing in the .opposite end, and over
this place a large "keyhole" cut out
of cardboard (see drawing above).
It is a good idea to paint the inside
of the box black, to' guard 'against
stray reflections.
Now, place 'the box on a firm sup
port, such as a table. Sight through
•
the small rear opening, and adjust
box until it frames the scene you
want to picture. Line up the camera
with the rear opening, as shown—
and take the picture. Use a small
lens opening, making a "time" ex-
posure if the light requires it.
For other effects, just use a dif-
ferent cutout, such as those shown
above. Make cut-outs with simple
outlines. When yon use a mask box
twelve inches long, a cut-out open-
ing about six inches high or wide is
usually satisfactory. After your first
roll of pictures, you can tell if larger
or smaller masks are preferable. •
Since the cut-out masks are" close
to the lens, they' Will be somewhat
out -of -focus and "fuzzy." That helps
conceal the faking, and adds to the
effect. •
