Wallace) :\ very strong affinity has al- ways existed between my two sons. Robert and Gordon, as is amply evidenced in this true story of a motoring experience in which they both figured. At the time, Gordon was living in Cleveland. Ohio. and when there was a• long week -end holiday he frequently motored to our former hl me rn Toronto. He generally left Cleve- land late on Saturday night, motor- ing all night when the traffic was light, and arriving in 'Toronto early on Sunday morning. One week -end we received a let- ter telling us he planned coming home that week -end for Thanks- giving and would, as usual, arrive early Sunday morning; but on Sat- urday we received a second letter saying his plans had been chang- ed and he would not get home for Thanksgiving. However, early on Sunday morn- ing I was roused by hearing our son. Robert, who, slept in an tui• joining room, jumping from his bed and moving about the room, Thinking he might be ill, I went to his room to enquire. -No," he answered, '•I am ail richt, but Gordon is coming home and I am w•atc•hing him." I reminded him that we had got a second letter and Gordon was 1101 coming home, "But he is coming,'• Robert per- sisted; "he is all right now, but he nearly had an accident, so I am wairhing him." In the meantime my husband, hearing our voices, came to see what was wrong. "1t is all right," Robert explained. "but Gordon is coming home and I am watching him." "No! No! Robert," itis father re- peated, "you are dreaming; get back to bed. Gordon wrote that he had changed his mind," "He must have changed it again, Dad. for he is corning along the Dundas Highway now. He is aw- fully sleepy, and nearly had an accident, but he called me and I am watching him, He is all right. now." "Nonsense. Robert; you are dreaming, Get back to bed!" •'No, I am not dreaming. He is coming along the highway and will soon be to Bloor St,'• Robert's voice was so tense, but confident, that we were silenced. "He is turning on to Bloor St. now." Af- ter a few minutes he continued: "He is almost at Runnymede—he will be at our corner in a minute. There he is now!" And sure enough. As we watch- ed we saw Gordon's car come up the street and into our driveway. Robert hurried downstairs to ad- mit Gordon, who, anticipating trou- ble in rousing us at such an early hour, was greatly surprised to find the door open for him. He was further astonished. when Robert greeted him with: "Well, Gor- don, that big white pole certainly had 3s0th scared! It was fortunate I heard goal' call." Later, Gonion explained that he had felt very sleepy as he passed b .10 il1'1b'tti • llti't was so near hon►trAIt'i he ,thought she could mala it." Ie r8ah. aY4r frim asleep as he drove along the high-; way, but, •half -asleep, be was surd denly jolted awake as he almost ran into a big . white pole. He jammed on the brakes and, thor- oughly frightened; it must have been then that his sub -conscious mind sent out the S.O.S. call to his brother. The big white pole re- solved itself into the long white centre -line on the highway. As be was now within twenty miles of home he determined to continue, but was soon overcome by sleepi- ness again, but this time he Thad a peculiar feeling of confidence and security, as if some one else was at the wheel with him, helping him drive the ear. Our theory is that when Gordon sent out his call to his brother, it roused Robert, and it was really Robert's mind that guided Gordon's hands at the wheel during the last fifteen miles of ithe trip. This story is absolutely true and is vouched for by myself, my hus- band and my two sons. HOWICK Howick Council met in the clerk's office according to adjourn- ment, with Reeve E. H.
