there were thr e uew resident teach-

It see ned to the older teachers that
everything was to he organized anew.
The old 'steno 'lbnild ng, fullto the
• eaves now, gave forth an almost aud-
ible humming. The disorder and un-
certainties; of the first• of the term,
which usually lasted three or four
days, stretched out through the first
three or four weeks, full -of mistakes,
false starts, failures, although every,-
body
verybody was extended to the -limit of his
powers.
But those weeks had more in them
than failures. They were J11,10 10,

with promise. For all the reasons in
the world Timothy was thankful to
have such difficulties, in the opening
months of the new term, when Susan
and Canby still came once in a while
to spend an hour or two in Clifford.
People said to each other, said to
Canby and Susan, "My! Professor
Hulme's got his nose to the grind-
stone this fall! With all those new
stlhlentsand the new teachers to
look out for, a person can't !hardly
get a word out of him, about any-
thing but tire 'cademy."
Once a, strange thought flew into
his mind and alighted _for a moment,
looking at him. out of alien eyes, the
thought that Susan was after all, on-
ly a very nice Clifford girl. But, he
s-ould make nothing of it and it Sew
away at once, back into the' unknown
country where it had come. '
The back road on which Eli Kemp
had been born and brought upbe-
came impassable in winter. He con-

into:, his sleeping : the 'slant -Geniis
ed room across the (from

dy, and having breakfast with them.
Fearing one of Aunt 1.4avin1a's: es*,
plosions, Timothy brought of various
ways to break the new to her, or to
-forewarn 'kart "of breakershead. But
in the- end, when Eli brought his new
pasteboard suitcase in, thrqugh ' the
front door, he Said only;, "Hal q Eli—
oh, yes, l remember. This was the
day you were to come." And, "Aunt
Lavinia, this is Eli Kemp,who's run-
ning the new student 'bus service.
He's going to use that extra room on
the third floor this winter. •
Apparently this offhand introduc-
tion was the. best. The two strange:
ly .assorted housemates settled down
with no fireworks under" the same
roof.
December brought a welter of snow.
The town plows. kept only the most
necessary thoroughfares open. Eli's
buses could not get up the steep back
hills, but waited for his ,passengers
below: at the" junction of the side
roads with the highways.
Eli, on his way to bed. in his third -
story room, hesitated once in a while
as he passed the door of the , study
and went in, if Timothy looked up
weicomi•ngly, and said, "nave a chair,;
Eli." In the first weeks their chat
was plain and factual. But as Eli
grew used to the house, he sometimes
talked about his half formulated
hopes for success. "Mr. Hulme, you
know ;hose two extra bus trips a day
—well, sir, they're turning out pretty
nearly. velvet. I ,bet a regular bus
line straight across this part of the
state weal} make money._ .Real mon-
ey."
'One afternoon in January,' Timothy
was stopped on . the street 'by Bill
Peck, Eli's middle-aged .partner. "Say,
Professor Hulme, do you, know that
Eli Kemp is somebody—darned 'f he's
not! I just bet that kid'it turn out
to be one of the money-makers,"
One evening when they had wan-
dered into reminiscences of the'cam-
paign—by far the most exciting ev-
ent in Eli's life so fax—the boy ask-
ed, "§a.y, what kind of a man was
that 2r. Wheaton, anyhow?" Timothy
told the story of Wheaton's early life
—not unlike' -Eli's, he thought, and
dew a portrait of Mn Wheaton's
character, ending, "A Stone Age man
living in the Twentieth 'Century. Just
because Mr. Wheaton was extra clev-
er at making money, people kept put-
ting him in .:positions where his say-
so helped decide what pictures! should
hang in museums; and what subjects
should be taught in schools. It's very
bad for a person's character to- be
constantly passing judgment on what
he doesn't i nderstand. I wonder why
—" Timothy went on musingly — "I
really do .wonder why •business is so
different from everything else mod-
ern men do? Why should the man
with- a gift for business be the only
human who expects to get paid for
the use of his brains just all he can
extract from the people who can't
get along without it?"
"But, Mr. Hulme, he can't get more
than just so much—competition keeps
that down."
So bhere was talk, very simple talk
in short words, about competition
compared to co-operation. A few
days later at breakfast Eli said, "Say,
Professor Hulme, . you know that idea
of -yours about not just getting all
the profit there is for yourself" is a
good business plan?"
"It's not exactly my idea, Eli. ft's
pretty common, nowadays."

But he took his foot from the ac-
celerator and slowed the car, looking
from side''to side, at one white clap,
board house after another. He knew
now what had brought.hitn there. A
longing to see Susan that was des-
peration. When he came to a house
with a litter of •building ,materials
around it and a scaffold up around a
half rebuilt chimney, he slipped his
clutch, set his brake, stopped the en-
gine and got out.
• Across a wide stretoh of April -ten-
der grass, Susan turned from where
she stood under a young apple tree.
She held a rake in her hand.
She saw him now, she •saw who it
was. She dropped her rake and with
a cry of passionate, welcome, "Oh,
Uncle Tim! Dear, dear Uncle Tim;"
she tried to run to him. When he
moved to meet` ter, she flung her
arms- around his neck, kissing him

"Come on in Per the love of Mike.
and „let me show you What I'm do-

They went in. through the walls of
the house, anywhere, stepping be-
tween 'the open uprights, and began
to lay a table standing in a „litter of
sawdust and, shavings. Canby trans-
ferred a pile of flooring boards to
make room for the third chair. There
he sat, Timothy, sharing the food
that Susan had prepared for Canby.
"We certainly have missed you all
this winter," Susan- told him.
A tapping of hammers began at
the back of the house. Canby let
down the front legs of his ' chair to
the floor, leaned across the table and
asked seriously, "Say, Uncle Tim, I

Susan leaned across the table and
for an instant took Timothy's hand
silently in hers with a long beautiful
look of gratitude, the deep look that
came from her heart.
She was thanking him for provid-
ing a home for • Canby's child: So

"You can't think how nice it is to

him. "It seems so safe for the baby."
"Yes, it is safe," agreed Timothy.

A SECURE
e •
The people of Ontario have much to gain from the Progressive
Conservative programme, outlined by the Leader, George Drew,
on July 8th after months of consultation with farmers, merchants,
drovers and all classes of citizens all over the Province.
e• Progressive., Conservative 'Govern:00M on.
1 Establish county committees of Ieading farmers to plan
production and distribution of farm products to meet
domestic and foreign demands on a profitable basis—to
assure for the farmers a fairer share of the national
income.
2 Eliminate speculation in livestock by converting stock
yards into a province -wide publicly owned service.
3 Relieve farmers and all home owners of one-half the
school taxes;
4'•Revise the whole provincial tax system to stimulate horse
improvements.and house building.'
5 To provide for every child all the educauon that can be
usefully absorbed.
ti
6 Introduce - such vocational training in schools as will -
imbue farmers' children with pride in and love for
agriculture as a basic and honourable 'calling; and fit
them to make it in their own life time a more gainful
occupation than it has been in the past.
7 Educate the rising generation to earn their own living
and make their own way.
8 Improve the hea
of children by furnishing them with
adequate medical aitld dental care.
9 Increase mothers' allowances and old age pensions.
10 Reduce the cost of electric power to farms and homes.
The rural population, which in more senses than one have their feet on the ground, will approve the note
of authority and confidence which animates the Progressive Conservative platform. The farmers will
welcome theadvent of a strong aggressive administration to Queen's Park—an administration which will
employ the. most advanced economic and scientific methods to develop and utilize the agricultural, mining,
forest, and other natural resources of the Province, to build up a strong provincial economy, furnish steady
employment to men and women and establish social security for all classes.
The Progressive Conservative Programme affirms that the moral, spiritual and material welfare of
Ontario will be best assured .under British democratic institutions and within the British Commonwealth of
Nations and Empire.
THE ISSUE IS NOW IN YOUR HANDS..
(1) The Progressive Conservative Candidate—(No Party in the history
of this Province ever attracted a more representative group of candidates).
The Party is pledged to carry out every commitment given in the Drew
22 -Point Programme. Drew has faith in Ontario, faith in its people,
faith lin the future. Only Drew can win.
VOTE FOR
(2) We want and need a change—vote for a change—but weigh the
facts. Don't vote for a. party whose aims you have never studied or who
would destroy individual property rights and everything else you hold
dear. Drew's programme is clear and sound. Don't cast a vote that
will set Ontario back 100 years. Vote to assure George Drew a strong,
working majority in the Legislature.
Take the 'necessary time off on Wednesday, 4th of August, and
mark your ballot for. the Progressive Conservative Candidate.
