O'Hara, of- the Mounted, one
of the :keenest man -hunters
who ever look the trail, is
struck with the beauty of a
young woman at a dance hall.

summons to appear before his

"Got a case for you, O'Hara,"

Macdonald swung back in his
chair, eyeing the sergeant oddly;
but he could mmake nothing of
O'Hara's keep .attention. The ser-
geant's face was in the shade
above the ring of light from the
desk -lamp, but the inspector was
aware of some subtle change in
him as he spoke.
"You have that letter, sir?"
For answer his chief handed
.him a soiled, blood stained sheet
of paper and Johnson's notes on
the tragedy.
"There's rumor that Ninon
Creuse had a suitor when she was
in the hospital in Quebec, but I
can find no trace of him out here,

about the Sum of ail we know,
O'Hara. You can study the details
and see Johnson; 'he's better and
able to talk business. Get your
points clear,' and then take the
next train North.. You know
where Gharian's place. Is?"
Macdonald rose to trace the
trail on ,a wall map. "You'll have
to take that route. One of the
R'udeon Bay lines runs nearest;
after that, .a dog team. Quarter
the- ground thoroughly, If FNicky
Creuse seems to be the. only sus-
pect, bring him in. It was notice-
able that he didn't show up when
we buried his sister. She and
Marian are over there." The in-
spector waved his hand toward an
unseen, white covered hill where
the tops of tall black crosses just,
showed above the snow. "And it
was enough to bring a' loving
brother, that burial. The girl was
young, pretty, Simply infatuated
with that brute's: good looks -
for he was a brute -and she had
been doing her duty as a nurse,
too. Here are your written in-
structions and the order. I had
'em made out to save time. Start
as soon as you've seen Johnson."
"Anything else,. sir?"
"Yes!" The inspector reached
down into a drawer of his desk
and held out two small Hark ob-
jects. "The dead girl had these
gripped tight, must have •pulled
them off the slayer's coat."
O'Hiara's keen face sharpened
as Macdonald handed him two
mink tails.
"Pretty fair clue if you could
spot the coat," his chief said grim-
ly, "but probably you'll never • lay
eyes . on it -till it's mended!"
O'Hara studied the tails. They
had been torn out by the force of
the dying girlsgrip; the ends
were ragged.
"You 'can't tell," he remarked
thoughtfully. "Murderers do some
queer things. This is all, inspec-
tor."
Macdonald meditated for an in-
stant, his big brows down, then
he looked around at O'Hara sharp-
ly. "Just one more thing. I've
got a notion Johnson's holding
something back. He's a first-rate
officer and I hate to think he's
keeping anything up his sleeve so
the other fellow can't make good
while he's laid up. Get him to talk
if you can."
I'd like to asic one more ques-
tion, sir."
"Go ahead."
"Do you happen to know where
Gharian's wife is now?"
Macdonald shook his head.
"She's been in Nova Scotia some-
where, taking_ care of a sick
brother; that's Gharian's story.
The truth was he iii -treated her.
There's a story he was the cause
of her baby's death; while drunk
slid a •irresponsible he dropped the
child or struck it. God knows
which? She made no charge
against him.
"The Cree's out there and the
trappers adored her, said she was
a saint. The child was buried
back of the cabin; and then she
left him. That's long ago. I'm
trying to locate her now with the
news of his death; it'll be a relief,
I'm thinking, poor woman! She's
had nothing to do with him for
at least two years; that I know for

Take the first in the morning,';
Then followed a few cart final
instructions, and O'Hara found
b,imeelf !Quitting the door, out
again in the bitter January night,
As he stepped out into the open
lie heard the whistle of .a train at
the crossing and knew it was the
last one going north that evening;
the first one in the morning Left
at six -fifteen:
His way did not take him past
French Pete's, yet his feet turned
automatically in that direction. Ile
opened the door and held- it in the
driving gale. The fiddles still.
scraped out gay tunes, the feet of
the ,dancers continued, to stamp
the old worn floor, but the little
table at which he looked was emp-
ty, 'and thechair pushed as'Ide.
On the floor beneath lay'a small
dark object. O'Hara stepped soft-
ly into the room, picked it up, and
went out, unnoticed. There was a
delicate fragrance about it, a soft-
ness that yet held the shape of a
woman's hand. It was a doeskin
gauntlet.
He thrust it into his pocket and
went on, walking fast, his head
bowed against the wind. !He must
see 'Johnson. tonight. As he went
he heard the train again, a long
way off, crossing a bridge -sounds
carry far on a frozen night. That
terrible intuition, which was a
part of him flashed on the lens of
his subconscious mind. "She went
on that. She's ahead of you, go-
ing 'north!" And 'again that face
seemed to emerge like a wraith
out of the darkness, possibly con-
juredby the subtle fragrance of
her glove. Twice O1Tara thrust
his hand into his pocket to cast
the thing behind him, and twice
his hand fell at his side. - Some-
thing -was it premonition or just
a type of callow folly foreign to
him -made him keep the article.
Then, standing under the lamp
'n the hall, outside of Johnson's
sickroom, he read the' crumpled,
blood' stained letter Gharian had
written to the girl before she came
to nurse his wounds. It was a
broken plea for forgiveness that
established her ignorance of his
marriage.
"Nicky was right to shoot me,
Ninon! I'm married. I never told
you because she left me long ago,
and hates me. I treated her bad,
dear girl, I confess it; but I could
never treat you bad! You're the
only girl I ever really loved, but
I'll cut out my tongue before I
offend you again! I'm wounded,
hot with fever, and with no one
but a drunken. Cree to nurse me

give you.up, and the thought of
losing you in madness! The fev-
er's getting ,me-1Laure-that's her
name-Laure haunts me. Her.
eyes -how they follow me! For-
give, forgive-"
It broke off as it began, abrupt -
y, the raving of a fevered man,
the remorse of one who had for-
gotten for a while this woman
who still haunted him, this Laure,
who must have had a hold upon
him deeper in some respects even
ban his wild love for the girl.
The very remorse of it stirred
again the subtle instinct in
O'Hara's• mind. This Laure, where
was she? If she could keep a
haunting hold on• a fevered man,
even while he avowed his love for
another woman, there Was some-
thing about her -beauty or sweet-
ness or strength of soul - that
even a fiickle, worthless man like
Gharian could not forget. Laure?
O'Hara was trying to imagine her,
to summon up some picture of
Gharian's wife, when the nurse
let him in to question Johnson.
Constable Johnson was a trifle
feverish from his wound, and not
a little sudden. He added absolute-
Iy nothing to his report, and
O'Hara bean to understand the
inspector's doubts. The wounded
man gave an impression that he
was withholding something, but
what? "He's got something up his
sleeve!!" the sergeant thought
grimly. "He's a good fellow and
he's got no cause to be jealous
because I've got this particular
job; it's no peach! What the
deuce is behind it all?"
Johnson told him where he lost
the third party's trackW. "The
stream's frozen, there's a clump
of Arctic willows by the edge of
it; the tracks went down there,
deep in the snow. Fellow must
have slipped, then he got on the
ice and kept there. I never found
where he got off it."
"Large tracks?"
"Some. And some small; I mea-
sured 'em. It's all down in the re-
port."
"I see! Two persons, then? The
small ones might have been a wo-
man's, eh?" O'Hara was watching
the sick man keenly.
Johnson's fever flush deepened.
"Might be," he admitted, "but wo-
men don't take that trail alone,
pard, not conftnoniy!"
O'Hara admitted this, rising
and going to the lamp to„look ov-
er the notes he held in his hand.
He felt the sick man's eyes follow -
Ing, and remembered Johnson's
known reluctance to handle a case
where a woman was involved; he
had suffered •bad luck once and; be-
lieved himself unduly prejudiced!
Decidedly O'Hara was of the
chief's opinion. Johnson knew or
had guessed something that he
WAS holding back, but what was
it? O'Hara took his time; sorted
his notes and slipped an elastic
band over them. "I think that's
all," he said cheerfully, returning
to the bed to clasp the constable's
uninjured hand. "I hope you come
through soon, old man, and get
tach to help me on this job. I
don't believe Nicky Creuse is
guilty. S'long!"

The Conscien-c
• e of the
House in His Hands
(By J.. MoC., of the Ottawa
Journal) •
Speaker Ross Macdonald is tall,
bald affable and dignified enough
to do honor to his position. He will
never go down in Canadian history
as a domineering Speaker, probab-
ly because he has been counted a
good politician and it is some-
times forgotten that all Speakers
must have been :politicians first:
The other day The Journal remark-
ed it was odd that Mr. Speaker
should have ruled it was not par-
liamentary to refer to another
members as "a smart politician
with a capital `P"' but no doubt he
had good precedent for such a de-
cision, Parliament in many ways
being an odd place. On other oc-
casions, it has been pleasant .to
note Speaker Macdonald's fair -
handed methods aid the judicial
air with which he approaches the
daily questions flung at •him from
all sides of the House.
This former N.C.O. of the Cycle
Corps, who rose to commissioned
rank in World War I, holds in his
hands the conscience of the
House of Commons. He interprets
that conscience -as every Speaker
must -on the basis of his own
common sense and experience.
Back from the war and estab-
lished as a barrister in Brantford,
he ran for the Commons in 1926
and 1930, being beaten both • times.
He became president of the Ki-
wanis, the Legion and the Brant -
Norfolk Aero Club. He married
and had two children, turned out\
to the United Church on Sundays
and was elected to the Commons
in due course in 1940,. being made
Deputy Speaker after re-election in
1945. He took the chair after be-
ing elected again in 1949.
As a Canadian, raised in the
Canadian tradition and accustom-
ed to the parliamentary customs
of this country, Speaker Macdon-
ald is not surprised to have some
of his rulings. challenged in the
House. He remains confident, in
such cases, that the majority will
sustain him, and the fact that
someone questions his decision td
the point of forcing a vote will
not disturb him as it would a
Speaker in the British House of
Commons, the model for most of
the Canadian procedure.
In London the custom is for
the Speaker to remain in office,
even when a new government
takes office, if . he has done his
work' satisfactorily. An instance is
the -present incumbent, Speaker
Douglas Clifton -Brown, elected as
a Conservative. retained as Speak-
er by the r Lab Government in
1945, and draggdd protesting, as is
the antique British custom, to re-
sume the chair when the British
House assembled again after the
1950 election. Winston Churchill is
among those this Speaker has chid-
ed in the House.
Sometimes the suggestion is
m
developadethat a Canada system should of continuingseekto
Speakers, men who would hold of-
fice when other governments are
chosen. But in this, as in every-
thing else, tile Speaker is the serv-
ant of the Clouse, and Canadians
thus fat have shown no indication
they liked one man so supremely
well as chairman that they would
have him continue for a long time.
When the Speaker says he is
the servant of the House, he can
add he also is master. He is the
voice of the greatest power in
the land. He is the descendant
of Speaker Lenthall who was in,
the chair at Westminster when
King Charles I came with armed
men to arrest tfive members in
1642. The Speaker faced the King
with courage:
"Sire: I have neither eyes to
see nor tongue to speak in this
place, but as the House is pleased
to direct me, whose servant I um
here."
And when the soldiers tried to
remove hint he clung to his chair,
"squalling like a cat" and: fighting
hard. When he fought he still
was serving as the active and only
constitutionally recognized deputy
of the House.
Speaker Macdonald, in pursuance
of his authority, is chairman of the
Commission on Internal. Economy,
in the news recently because it had
approved certain improvements in
the pay rates of House stenogra-
phers. That is one of the responsi-
bilities associated with .his'Uthor-
ity over the •Commons' employees
hnd property, as well as its de-
bates. These outside duties are
onerous enough but they are light
compared to the cares he must
bear when presiding at House de-
liberations.
Parliamentary practice provides
that interruptions in debate are
not an offetice and the Speaker is
left with the responsibility of con-
trolling the debate in the Inter-
ests of relevancy without hamper-
ing free discussion. To a degree
he is governed by what the House
waptel members on 'the floor are
quick to'cibjeet td' what they con-
sider uninstiliable interruptions
and urcpaidiarilt#Yctdn ° •language,:
•
they will draw such occurrences to
the Speaker's attention if he did
not note them. He has the power
to demand a member withdraw a
statement which representsan in-
fraction of the rules and if this is
not done he can bid the offender
to leave for the remainder of the
sitting. If the authority of the
Chair is disregarded, the Speaker
will "name" a member and receive
a motion that the wrongdoer be
suspended from the service of the
House.
The Speaker faces constant ap-
peals for a ruling on points of
procedure and in making these
he is a judge interpreting the
rules of Parliament - a massive
task when it is considered that
the accumulated rulings of his
predecessors constitute a body of
case law. When in doubt, the
Speaker may reserve his ruling
until he has consulted precedents,
,but normally he seeks to give a
prompt decision and thus permit
the debate to proceed: In Eng-
land in 1604 it was agreed that
if "any doubt arise upon the bill
the Speaker is to explain but not
to sway the -House with argument
or dispute.'•
In Canada, Speakers complete
their onerous term •of office and
often revert to the status of ord-
inary
rdinary members, In England, his
rewards are greater. During a
terga of office, the British Speak-
er lives in the Palace of Westmin-
ster, with a fine suite of rooms
overlooking the Thames. He is the
only subject who holds levees at
which court dress must be worn
and to which invitations are in the
nature of commands. Under ancient
custom he must be offered a buck
and doe from Windsor Forest each
year and until recently he could.
take his official chair away at the
end of each Parliament. On state
occasions in London the Speaker
turns out in a fine coach nearly
three tons in weight with a
Lifegtlardsman as escort. •
On retirement. the British
.Speaker is normally voted a pen-
sion of £4,000 and the House
begs for him some special mark
of favor from the King which
usually takes the form of a vis-
countcy..
:Speaker Macdonald, like British
Speakersof recent Nears, may re-
gret one old custom that has fal-
len into disuse. It was that a man
who had been chosen as Speaker
should not be opposed for re-
election. The present Speaker in
Westminster is one of those who
have been opposed in their consti-
tuencies and must have felt they
were fighting with hands tied be-
cause their office discouraged par'
ticipation . in campaigning. But
then, on the occasions when they
were challenged, they were re-
elected anyway and the further
question of what the House would
do if its chief officer were de-
feated never arose.

Letters to the
(Continued from. Page 2)
I was greatly interested in a letter
of recent date, published, in your
paper under the title, "Looking
Backward," and written by R. J.
Dunsmore.
He recalls many instances which
I well remember as I spent all of
my boyhood days in the Village of
Egmondville. I was at the mill
dram when the young student, A.
Cousins, of Tuckersmith, was
drowned. My home was opposite
the old school on the hill, where
all the boys and girls from the
Mill Road attended and where Mr.
Richard Hicks was the teacher.
Egmondville was quite a thriving
village at that time. The night
that the big flour mill and the saw
mill, located just east of the tan-
nery, were burned. was a crushing
blow to the village. Fulton's black-
smith shop and the brewery have
gone many years ago I have often
wondered where Bob Dunsmore is,
who lived about a mile and quar-
ter from the village, on the Mill
Road. Not many of the old school-
mates are left now.
I well remember one spring af-
ternoon when my mother sent me
out to Mrs. Macintosh's to buy a
clucking hen, Mrs. Maclntosh liv-
ed about Iwo miles west of the
village and just over the hill from
the Charter's farm. A neighbor
boy accompanied me as his mother
wanted a clucking hen too. Paved
roads and cars were not even
dreamed of then, so we walked
the dusty two miles. Upon arrival
we made our errand known, and
then kindly Mrs. Macintosh, who
was baking bread, asked us if we
were hungry. What boy would not
be hungry after such a walk!
Well, Mrs. Macintosh cut two thick
slices' -)of bread the long way of
the loaf, buttered them generously
and then topped that with a thick
layer of honey, a lunch fit for a
king! We went to the barn with
Mrs. Macintosh and after she had
selected two Barred Rock hens, we
eachpaid her the top price of twen-
ty-five cents, and started home,
each carrying a hen under one
arm. I was still enjoying a part
of my delicious slice of bread, and
you can imagine my dismay when
suddenly the hen flew from my
arm •and knocked my bread into
the dust. Frank said, "Pick it up
and eat it! They say one has to
eat a peck of dirt in his lifetime
anyway, so what!" I took his ad-
vice. -i
