TanatbY. galTne, Pritteipal of a
MEV but impoverished Vermont
academy, liveS stildiOns bache-
lor's existence with only his Aunt
Lavinia for company. -Timothy
makes friend a with a new teach-
er, &lean Barney, and her aoung-
Yora. When he keeps his ap-
pointment with Mr. Wheaton he
is told that he has made a bfg
mistake in admitting a Jewish
boy as a student, Timothy. meets -
his nealtew, Canby Hunter, who
'• gives him some suggestions about
developing the Academy. On the
first Tuesday in March the town
meeting -convenes. Presiding offi-
cer is old Mr, DevfeY.
•`Wednesday morning after Aunt La-
vinia, who had apparently slept in
her clothes .and certainly had 'not,
combed her hair since Susan had
one, had rammed to her room, Can-
by said casually, stretching and yawn'
ng like a young • dog at east, "Say,
ncle Tim, do you know what you
ought to do? You can't ossibZy go
n taking care of Aunt Laviria all 1by
yourself as, she, gate' •cratinier 'and
aeerer. Which she certainly is. You
ought to get. married."
Timothy froze and waited. Canby
truck a match, lighted his pipe,
hrew his match at the fireplace,
issed it, said, "Now that teacher
hat ' takes her meals at Miss Peck's,
he dietitian, Miss Long-"
"Miss Lane," said Timothy.
"Miss Lane. Now she's swell. She'd
make a swell wife for anybody -so
comfortable ,and sensible. The kind
hatal stead by and keep things going
o matter what. She's nice looking,
oo, 1 think. -If I 'Were old enough to,
wouldn't mind a bit marrying her.
nd I bet you a nickel she'd know
ow to manage Aunt Lavinia. I beea
etching her, and if she doesn't think
good deal of you, I miss my . . ."
Chancing to catch Tintothy's eye, he
as stricken speechless by its cold
ury, and faltering like a scared
schoolboy looked wildly for a' way
nit, "Of course I know it's pone of
• didn't mean it -excuse me.
Tncle Tim -gosh! I certainly do beg
our pardon!" 4 •
Timothy drew a long • breath. He
as reassured by Canby's collapse. It
ould be Sim»ple to propel him out of
he house waren it- seemed advisable.
» single look would be enough when
he time came to do it. He slowly
round out his cigarette stub, took
is time about what ,to say, and get -
ng up to go, demolished what was
eft of Canby by a cool, "I think I'll
ave • Miss Lane to you, Canby."
Supper was a success. There was
Standing,' gripped the b�1 t of it hard
with botb hands. "Now," e asked
himself; "I am' jealous ' ofsCanby, yes.
Does it mean that j am to- decide, not
Susan, whom she ii to See, to know?
Does it7 Does it?".
In the aniddle of the night Timothy
opened his eyes' wide on the thought,
"I'm an idiot! I don't have to wait
till Sunday! She's not 'five hours!
drive from me. I'll go over tonior-
row!" Then he tett asleep so sound::
Jy that he awoke only to the shriek
of the morning train at Lathrop's.
Croeling. Nine o'clock! He, stretch -
4, yawned, felt himself infinitely re-
freshed, rolled slowly ,oir-of »bed and
went to close the window.
In front ofit there was a pool of
water. It was raining,. Pouring. The
first time since November. On going
down to cold coffee and congealed
bacon, Timothy found Canby had long
Since gone out for an all -day skiing
expedition. •
"Canby's crazy," remarked Timothy
casually to' Aunt Lavinia:" "You can't
ski in the rain!"
Aunt Lavinia did not say as any-
one else would have said, "But this
„ram may be suet's on the mountains."
She said Instead, "I wish I could find
a decet accompanist for Jules.: .-You
can't' imagine. the. comfort that hop 18
to .me. The first soul 'with musical
sense I've ever seen in this benight-
ed town."
He did not »know the name or Ad-
dress of-tfie over-the,notintaia. Barney
kinfolk Susan and ,Delia had gone to
visit. But this troubled him not at
all. Miss Peck must know. He drove
to her .houseeto ask, so careless of
what anyone might surmise from his
wishing to know where to find Susan
Barney that his natural easy manner
suggested ta» Miss Peck only the idea
that he. wished-, as superintendent, to
send her as teacher, some notice
about » her school work.
It was only when he drove his car
to the garage for gas and oil that one
man lounging there called out, "Did
I hear you say you Were startin' to
drive to Averfield, Professer,Hulme?"
"You might 'thane up to Barton Cor-
ners and ask," suggested the proprie-
tor of the garage. "Nelson Elia-
worth's house is the last one before
you start over the mountain."'
The voice, at the other end of the
Wire said complacently it should ra-
ther think the road over the moun-
tain was closed.
Mr. Dewey's opinion was that the
young men would not try to get back
at- all that night, fiat would make
themselves a camp with a big honfire
and take turns sleeping around it.
"What was that? Did you hear some-
thing? Seems as if I heard the front
door open." They all turned' their
heads toward the- hall, and diatjeictly.
heard the front ca,Sor carefully cloeed.
Quick light steps ,harrying with a
aster soup, made as Miss peck made sinister» softness down the hall
with milk that was almost OfelinaT'biringift adielocitamaeinteredecenteself-
ot, well peppered, the »oy5ters plump
nd ruffled, "Oh boy!" groaned the
lwayssfamished Canby in ecstasy.
For 'dessert there were peaches,
iss Peck's ragged, luscious home
reserved peaches. And fruit cake.
Miss Lane said, "My, Miss Peck!
takes you for fruit cake."
Miss »Peck disclaimed merit. "Ras-
ta Barney made this."
The words flowed in at Tiatothy's
outer ear. Belore they had penetrat-
ed to his inner, he was bathed in a
warm light brightness of relief after
pain, ,as if a lhardaheadache had just
P.M. left him. By the time he knew what
it was Miss Peck had said, Mr. Dew-
ey and Canby had each asked a ques-
tion. "Is Susan back?" Who's Sue -
an?" • They spoke at the same tim.e,
itheir words" clashing,
• Then Canby remembered and an-
'swered himself, "Oh, yes, she's the
one With tile peppy younger sister."
Den Peck answered Mr. Dewey's
P.M. question, "She made it in Noveniber."
• Miss Lane added the explanatibn he
needed. '`Fruit cake has to stand and
season before it is fit to eat, you
know."'
"Oh, God!" groaned Timothy to
'himself' in an astounded revulsion
from the bland interlude of gratified
vanity into which Canby had tricked
Lim. "Well, anyhow, this is only
Wednesday night. There's still plen-
ty of time." The meal was over. He
stood up, hauled Aunt Lavinia to her
feet with a mechaidcal gesture, said
to Canby,* "Will %oil drive her home,
please? I've got something to Work
out in the office this evening. It may
take .me rather p, long time."
"I'll drop you there, as we go by."
"I'd ritheaawalk. Thanks."
He saw Canha, 'noting 'the dryness
of his tone, give him an inquiring
speculative aro, thought fiercely.
"No you don't, yoting maul Not a
»second time!" hunched on his over-
coat,- reached for his hat and was
gone.

Anson Craft, Dr. " Anson, toweted
over them as they sat at the table,
gaping up, stricken to .paralyeis by
his words, by 'his nervous energetic

ed' over the table, speaking in a low
voice. "An accident," 'he told them.

Mrs. Craft was there, swift, noise-
less, slipping out of her wraps'as she
crossed to the door of Mtss Peck's
bedroom. "Vere," she said in her
controlled nurse's voice to the man
who came shuffling„In from the hall,
a woman in his arras, her head rest-
ing on his shoulder. It was turbaned
with white bandages, crisscrossed ov-
er the face.
Canby, setting one foot, before the
other with arancelike carefulness,
walked slowly across the room, in
through the open door, and came out
without his burden, his face broken
and quivering. Doctor Craft went in,
turned to lay a stern finger on his
lips.
Canby burst out in» a hoarse whis-
per, "Gimme a drink, somebody. For
God's -sake, If want a drink." He had
lost his ,glasses. A dark smear of
blood crossed his forehead and tan
down one cheek.

Meat Rationing
To -day's meat rationing -recipe
comes all the way from South Africa
where it is a . favourite dish of the
Boer farmers. It is a dish that will
appeal to Canadian tastes as well as
being a most practical recipe foe the
busy woman. Meat and vegetables
are cooked together, with a resulting,
saving in diah washing.
• The South African name for this
dish Boontje Bredee and thereare
several variations of it: Tomatoes,
vegetable marrow or cauliflower are
suggested as alternatives to the green
beans. In season. slices of ripe
quince are sometimes added, he
quince being first parboiled with the
addition of a little sugar. .;
The Home Economists of the Con-
sumer Section of the Dominion De-
partment of Agriculture have tested
this recipe with beef as well as lamb
and find it excellent with either
meat.

to a resolution from the County of
Perth that the 8 -cent gas tax be dis-
contingeh; and no action was taken
on a Dufferin County\ resolution re-
garding the calling of men on the
farms to the armed forces.
Concurrence was also given resolu-
tions from Waterloo County petition-
ing the Dominion Government to
make it compulsory :to have all ranch
cattle injected with serum for the pre-
vention of shipping fever; and also,
in asking the Dominion Government
to' procure priority rights • on Ameri-

No action was taken on the reao-

tional premium of one cent on hags:
Council did hot concur with areso-
lutidn from the Comity of Peel that

tion from the same county that a
large perce,atage -of the cabinet mem-
bers should be basically farmers.
•T.' Warden Tuckey stated that he un-
derstood •that due to weather condi-
tions a big share of the sugar beet
counties is being planted., and prac-
tically an all out effect is being turn-
ed to that production. He gave this
information when concurrence was
recommended in the resolution from
Elgin comity petitioning the Minister
of Agriculture that beet growers in
the Counties of' Elgin, Essex, Kent,
Lambton, Huron and Middlesex may
receive such renumeration as will en-
able them to supply the factories at
.Chatham and Wallaceburg.
On motion of Reeves McCann and
Smyth no 'action was taken on the
motion that the Federal GoVernment
he requested to freeze farm labor.
A new flag will be purchased for
the pole in Court House park, and
the old one left draping the entrance
to the court room.
A resolution of sympathy was pees -
ed to Reeve. John Ferguson, of Hui -
lett, in his serious illness.
The council turned down a motion
sponsored by Reeves Reid and Wheel-
er that the Warden name a commit-
tee to consider adopting a form of
committee report which would be
more informative to all members;
that spending committees submit
their estimates at the June •session in
open council; and that consideration
be given to a method of electing the
warden whereby every member wceild
have a vote. a
Reeve R. J. Bowman pointed out
that the lime -honored selection of, a
warden in a 'caucus alternately of
-Liberal or Conservative members had
produced the- greatest harmony and
the elimination of, politics. '

Facts About,Weeds
Before there was a Weed Control
Act in Canada, there was a Thistle
act in Ontario,. It was passed in
1864. Its enforcement was not suf-
ficient to suppress Canada thistle,
which had already a flourishing start
of a century more or less. Thirty
years later Professor Penton of
Guelph found it still Weed Enemy
Nuniber One.
In 1923, after' another thirty years,
nearly 1,200 replies to a nation-wide
questionnaire of the Dominion 'Divi-
sion of Botany, showed Canada this-
tle the leading weed with couch grass
and wild mustard next, and wild oats
in '.he Western provinces plainly out-
do:ng it there. Now, after another 20.
3 ears, many farmers will name other
weeds which give them greater wor-
ry -perennial sow thistle, bindweed,
leafy spurge -but they still have Cin -
ata thistle. •
This is the field thistle of Earepe,
net native to Canada.
Seed setting • of Canada thistle is
evidently related to climatic condi-
tions but also to the peculiarity. that
flowers are functionally male, or fe-
male and occur on different plants and
even in colonies of plants. An insect
pollination is required and each flow-
er in a pistillate (female) »head must
be visited before its fertiliaation is
effected, it follows that in a ,colony
with few plants production be meagre
and only then on thoSe colonies
which are pistillate.- From these

18% pounds and measured 32 inches
in length and had a. circumference of
22 inches. How the scheol» of this
species of fish managed to get into.

auandary. The fish was viewed by a
number of residents of Munro during
the latter part of the day e and Vilt
