He is educated to go into his father's .law lattice Parville •but marries Olive Cooper, who scoffs at the idea and flatly refuses to live in the beautiful country house the Judge buys as a wedding present for, the young couple.

Almost at once he discovered Audrey and her mother. A Mao and a woman sat with '' them, relatives probably, but straegers.. Vic Quinn was there. 'Phe little room was well filled, but Jeffrey mw no sign of his father or mother and it made him re- eentful. It wou.idaft have hurt them to come: After all, the Swans were iheir_neareet neighbors. When Jeffrey filed- .out with the ethers, nodding to an occasional. ac- quaintance, he. stood irresolutely on the sidewalk until a 'hood was- laid on his arm and a quiet voice said : "Glad you made it, old man."

It was Martha's idea to ooavert all the stock and, equipment into 'cash -and .perhaps s.ell all the tend except that occupied by the house and stables. She wanted to remain in the home (luring' her life time, But Victor had another suggestion. "1 imagine it wooed be a good idea to get rid of your horses," he agreed. "I don't know anything a -bout 'rates, but' I presume you can get pretty nearly 'what they're worth. At the present time, you will lose on •th,e land. What had you planned to do, Audrey, .to keep yeerseit busy?" "Why, nothing," she answered, "just atay here with IVIono" "Then wbY don't you carry on for your father? On a small scale." "I hadn't thought of that," -Audrey mused. She turned to Martha. "What do you think of {hot, Mom?" Mre. Swan was crocheting and she worked without looking up. "It sounds like a good Plan.," she said, when she eame to the end of a row. "You'll never be satisfied if you don't have horses to fool with. I know that And I think your father would- have liked it." "Then we'll .call that settled," Vic- tor decided. "When you get ready for action, I'll be glad to help." "We'll wait until after the 'first of the year," Martha offered unexpect- edly. "Friday will be .Christmas. It will be just another day for us, Mr. Quinn, but I'd be leased if you would have dinner with. Audreyand me. Ihyou're going to be in town." "Thank you, Mrs. Swan. I shall be glad to coane." Be was nore than repaid -for -the simple answer by Andrey's eyes. After considerable thought, he de- cided upon a modest gift for each of his hostesses, something to which:' no sentiraentat value could. be attached. He was glad that he had when the mail brought [him a little parcel - a woollen muffler from Mrs. Swan; .a dozen fine handkerchiefs -from Aud. rey. The dinner, too, was saved from being a momentary .ordeal when Audrey took occasion to tell 'him in a matter-of-fact fashion:: "You're sitting' in Dad's place, Vic. We thought it -wcadd be easier. If only he could have read a par- ticular meaning1ot° that! By 'ads: time he might have hoped for some encouraoenient in this suit.

"He had one child, the same as I. I have watched you • grow up, ,my dear, and I am confident that your father would tell me that you never bag caused shim an lanes grief." "I hope that's true," Audrey said softly. "A:bout my !other." "I had one child, too," the Judge remarked grimly. "I said that be- fore, but you can draw' your own con- clusions." 'Aren't you Oast a little hard ,on Jeffrey?" Audrey asked, astonished at her temerity. "A:fter all, he mar- ried the wotnan he loved. I will never ,believe that he 'willingly gave up' his prospects here with you." "Nevertheiess,," said the Judge stubboroly, "kis place is' here.

He extend- ed his hand onuf held hers for a mo- ment when, she gave it to, him. "Au- drey, I wish very much I might have had a daughter like you.

At this same time, Jeffrey was be- ing put to .it to uphold a reputation of that sort. For Olive had under- taken to punish shim for his Parville trip by remaining coldly aloof. Jef- frey had done his best toignore her attitude and to omintain a friendly footing, although some instinct warm ecl Mtn that he would be making a (mistake in going too far in the mat- ter of a reconcibiation. An, abject surrender would make the future more difficult than ever, and if there must be another unpleasantness he was in favor oftpostponin'g It tie long as ,possible. This might be a pro- pitious time to go after that job on his own. Accordingly, he presented hiniself at the general offices of the corporation and sent in his name. He waited nearly on, thour before a secre- tary advised that Mr. Harrison could give Mr. Castle a few moments. "Well, Castle," he satd, `vvih.at's on your mind this meriting?"

Consequently, the organization that had been set up at the Hospital was not used to the limIt of its eapecitY. Nevertheless practically every British war guest child paSsing through Toronto re- ceived recommendations as to treat- ment. No charge was( made for this service. • k. This is just another of the ocem sions during its unusual oareer of public service when, the Hospital has beeo fully prepared to meet an em- ergency. Paralysis Strikes Again It is only a few weeks ago" that newspaper headlines startled the peo- ple of Ontario with the announce- ment' that' six members of a single family had been stricken with Infan- tile Paralysis -the dread Poliomyeli- tis. One member of the family had to he taken to Toronto in an iron hung -his only •ehanee for life. De- spite the fact that a large moving van was the only vehicle --obtainable which, was suitable for moving the equipment with the youtitster already receiving treatment within it, ar- rangements were quickly made to bring the patient to The, Hospital for Sick Children. But this is just tyltical of the ser- vice. The Hospital for Sick Children has rendered the children of this Province for 65 years. Every hour of every day and night some emergency"toust be met. The life of a child, precious to some fam- ily, is at stake. It is only when a number of similar castes occur at the same time that the work becoanes "news," and can be called to the at- tention of the public by the, press in a spectacular manner. Nevertheless, the work goes on hour after hour ma - til the days and months and years to- tal decades of service to the needy children of the Province. Every emergency situation creates costs which mount up far beyond the normal provisions of government and municipal grants. But, unlike most other hospitals, The Hospital for Sick Children has no large group of Pri- vate Ward beds from which to draw extra revenue, which can be applied to Public. Ward service. At present, 414 of the 434 beds are in Public Wards. No help is received from the fund collecten by the Toronto Federation for Community Service, as patients are taken from all over the Province. Sick and erippled children must be given medical attention; and hospi- tal care no matter what their circum- stance. No one would deny them this right.
