Anne adores both her mother and her father, Francis, One night she and Gar - Ty Brooks find a man making coffee over a fire in a meadow. Later this stranger sees some- body through a second; story win- dow in Anne's house take some- thing from a dressing table, Next morning Anne's pearls are gone and Garry suggests that this young man 'nuay have taken them. He proves to be Charles Patterson, whose wife, Margot, is bringing sensational di v o r c e chargee algainst !him. Elinor con- fesses taking tate pearls, and Vicky, Anne's c'ompandson, ,re.. deems them from a pawnbroker. Elinor and Francies tell' Anne they are to be divorced. Anne goes to stay • at Viiekyis faama biome. Vicky dared plot tea Francis how much she herself mussed what she had Left behind In hiss old house -- the games' of chess with him- at night, the talks and Walks, his con- fidence about Anne. Now that sate wee away from him she realized how important was the part he had Planed. Anne ,had +he'aad .nothing from Charles Patterson, Slue tad not, in- deed., expected hint to write. It was enough to feel that in some subtle, mysterious way he was linked with her 'life. She re -read leis two letters, and at night looked up at the stars and 'dreamred. But the time was at had when she was forced to face re'a;>lrty. . Com- ing early one morning to breakfast, dressed and ready for a ride, she was the first to get the Baltimore paper and there, staring out from the front page, was, a picture of Chariest' wile, 1YMazgtolt, very sazart and mailing as she gave to the court the evidte'nce which made of Charles something. a little leas then a brute and a bounder. V1cky, hulrutiitmg for Anne bolter, found ,hoer .fiece down across the bed. "My darling, what is it?" Anne flung the taper towards her. "Vicky, if it isn't true, w'hy does• he let her do it?" "A falise sense of gallantry, my dear. Men like Charles take the blaime, although. they know they are not at fault." "But the world will . 'be'bieve all she 'says of him." • "Yes. That's the burden he will have to carry." Anne retrieved' the paper and studied the picture. "Sts doesn't look kind. She's hard and cruel. Oh, hew Could he marry a woman like that? How could 'he?" "He prr•obab'ly mixer' her up with tris ,,4iieams," said Vicky ninny. "Meta do ,.reit-and women-" Again Anne flung the paper from her. "Wen, 1 ehan',t mix anybody up with mine. 1 snail never mrarry. I'd be afraid. Even if I should want to, don't ever diet me marry, Vicky.' Charles Pa,ttersuvn had ween that picture of Mar got as• site stared, from the flaunt page of the morning paper. For bile fleet lime her smile did not set. his pulses pounding. He found himself meeting her gaze caimily. A little hard, those sparkling eyes. A Little heavy, that round young chin.

"There istnit much on, is there?" "Yes, I am going to tell you about that later." He turned, to Vicky., "May I take • Anne for a ride? Haven't you an erTamd or some- thing?"

It was then that he said, "I have brought you here, my dear, because I have something to say to you. I think you knorw how much you mean to me. My little note told you that.

Charles kept his car In tihie town garage and rode to Baltimore in time for lunch at the old exchange which dieals in the delectable wares of Maryland gentlewomen who preserve the epi- curean southern Meant of cookery. Having ordered mince Pies and fruit cake, Charles made his way to the tearoom. Waiting there to be served, he saw at a nearby table bweo women', their backs towards him, Anne and V iicky ! Charles rose and, crossing the in- tenvening space, stood back of Anne's chair- "Here I am," he said. As she whirled• around and looked tip at him, be was 'shocked at the change in her.

The coat was a little lees per mil', than last year, as Some sur- faces were not so deep. Grading work has been carried out this. Year with the use of power ma- chinery almost exclusively. The re - suite obtained from the self -loading scraper have boon very satisfactory. A gas shovel was engaged during much of the summer, and found to be a necessary piece of equipment for economical earth moving. Much grading work was done with power graders. It was found necessary to postpone the erection of an equipment shed and shop, but the need for such a building is 'betoming greater. Lees gravel was produced and ap- • pliied than narmtllly, sash one crushers are becoming antiquated', ,.and only two were operated, at aur' linen dur- ing uring the year. Some less+ cglcipm chigtrldse Was use - ed owing to the handl surfaces placed ton some roads formerly treated'; 13, 500 feet .of. avow fence. have been purchased and distributed throughout the county. A snowplow has been, bought for casae with the crawler tractor, and three glows have been bought for in, stallation on our' gravel trucks. It is expected that this additional equip- ment will permit of better service to be given at a lower cost. It is planned to keep most of the county roads clear of snow, if the snowfall is not heavyu and to conieen- trate moat the main road, if heavy plowing conditions are met. . Re Goderich Rural Telephone Com- pany application, we recommend that action be deferred until the matter bas been heard by the Ontario Mun- icipal Board. Re resolution of the county council of Dufferin, respecting provincial highway connecting links, we recom- mend no action. --George C.
