Borland knows Icer avowed' purpose, to. help out the family outcome, is camouflage. Hugo Lorentz, • her teacher, always around, irritates. him. Cecil Carver, opera singer, knows Doris through Lorentz. She discovers Borland has a line baritone voice, tells him Hugo is hopelessly in love with Doris, that Doris 'tortues every man she gets In her clutches, and that he ought to wake her up by giving:a re- -vital. "Go get yourself a •tri- umph, " she advises. Ceef de- mands payment for lessons—kiss- es. He pays but declares he loves ,Doris.

Doris learns about Cecil at Gwenny Blair's cocktail party, de- cides it wasn't business, that kept him out of the city, there is a scene and Gwenny, to smooth matters over, laughingly suggests that Leonard sing.

Down on the stage, the bass was doubling for me. He carried the Gilds in, put her on the tock, then picked up a cape, turned around and did my part. They gave- him an ovation. After Parma had tak- en Schultz out, and they had all taken' their bows, they shoved the bass out there alone, and the audi- ence stood up and gave -'him a ris- ing vote, in silence, before they started to clap. His name was Woods. Remember it, Woods: the man that had what it takes. But "Rigoletto" didn't know anything about that, yet. * * e Back in 1921, when Dempsey fought Carpentier in Jersey, some newspaper hired a, lady novelist to do apiece on It. She decided that what she wanted to write up was the loser's dressing -room after it was all over. She had been reading all her life about the winner, and thought she would like to know for once what happened to the loser. She found out. What happened to him was nothing. Carpentier was there, and a couple of rubbers were there, working on him, and his manager was there, and that was all. ' Nobody came in to tell him he had put up a good fight, or that it was an awful wallop he • Alit hit Dempsey in the second round„ er even to borrow a quarter. That's how it was with me. There were no autograph hunters that night. I got quiet after a while, and the noise outside died away, and I lit a cigarette, and sat there. After a long time there was a tap on the door. I never moved. It came again and still again, and then I heard my first name called. It sounded like Doris, and I went to the door and opened it. She was there, in a little green suit, and a brown felt hat, and brown shoes. She came in without looking at me. "What happened?" "Weren't you there?" I said. Doris Looked at me then. "I had to take the children home after the second act . . . 1 heard some people talking, on my way back here." I remembered Lorentz, and his real crime at the Cathedral Thea- tre that day. I was glad there was one person in the world that hadn't seen it. Three, because that meant she had taken the kids out before it happened. "I got the bird," I told her. "Damn them." I began to pull off the whiskers. She came over and did it for me. She got the towel and wiped off the make-up. She wiped clean, and patted, and frowned, like it was 'Your Business Directory LEGAL A.

I guess, don't have to tell you Doris had never put any stones on for me beforo. I sat there, and she put them on and tied them, and helped me on with, my shirt, my trousers, and my coat. But I still didn't know why she had come. I had never seen her like this, but it wasn't any consolation scene, I could see that, and there was noth- ing in what had ,happened that ex- plained it. 1f she hadn't been' there when I flopped, what had she come back to the theatre for, anyway? She helped me on with my top- coat, gave my arm a little squeeze, and we trent out. In. the cab on the way up to my hotel I kept thinking there was something I had forgotten,' some- thing I had -intended to do. Then I remembered. I was to sign the contracts. I sat back and watched the el posts go back. That was one thing I didn't have to worry about. When we got into the lobby, I could see something glaring at, me from a 'ehair near the elevators, and I ,didn't tumble at first to what it was. There. had been so many glares coming my way lately that one more didn't make much impres- sion. But then I came out, of the fog. It was Craig, my pertner, whom I hadn't seen since we built"` the gag chicken coop up in Con- necticut, and he had dug in at his place upstate. I blinked, and looked at Doris, and thought may- be that was why she had come around, or anyway had something to do with it. But she seemed as ' surprised as I was. He still sat 1 there, glaring at us, and then he got up and came over. He didn't' shake hands. He started in high, 1 and he was plenty sore. "Where've you been?" "Why—right here." "And why here? What's the idea of hiding out in this dump? I've been looking for you all night, and it was just by accident that I found you. Just by accident" Doris cut in, meeker than I ever heard her. "Why—one of the chil- dren was threatened with measles and Leonard came down here so he wouldn't be quarantined." "Couldn't he let somebody know?" "He—it was only to be for a few days." That seemed to cool him off a lit- tle, and I tried to be friendly. "When did yon get to town? I thought you were up there milking cows." "Never mind when I got to town, , and never mind the 'cows. And cut the. comedy. Get this. You've got jupt forty minutes to make a train, and pay attention to what I'm tell- ing you." "Shoot." "Alabama. You'-ve heard of it? "Sounds familiar."

You take a whole floor in that hotel, and you roll out the liquor, and you step on it. You do all the things that your ibum; has-' siety, high-toned, good-for-nothing upbringing has taught you how to do, and then you do it twice." "Booh. I know you.'' "For once in your life, maybe you can be of some use." "Just once?" "If • you put it across, you'll be back in time for Christmas. If you don't put it across, you needn't come back at all." "We'll put it aoross." So we put it across, and that's what we're doing now. They've got a bird in this, business, too, that rides the trusses while the scows are taking them out, and flies around and flaps its wings and crows like hell whenever one of them falls in the river. But his wings haven't got much exercise on this job, and neither has his voice. This is my trade. The river has got pretty tough once or twice, and we've had some close squeaks. But not one of those trusses has taken a dive yet But I'm ahead of my story. Craig had a paper stuck in his pocket. and after he had laid the law down he began to get sore again and re- membered it. He tapped it with his finger. "And you keep in touch with me. If it hadn't been for this, seeing your name in this paper just by accident, I wouldn't have known where to look for you." He took it out and opened it, and pointed to a great big picture of me in the whiskers and wig and cap and bells on the theatrical page. "Is that you?" Doris let out -.cackle that made everybody in the lobby. look up. It was just a silvery peel that came from the heart, and did you good to hear it. She wasn't laughing at me. She was laughing at Craig, and when Ilooked at him I had to laugh too. I had to laugh so hard I folded into one of the lobby chairs, and so did she. The look on that old hard -rock man's face, holding up that picture,• was the funniest thing I ever saw in my life, or ever hope to see I- scrambled up and threw my stuff into a bag, and was so ex- cited over getting back in harness that 1 kept singing all the time and didn't even feel bad about it, and down in the lobby Doris called the house, and we made the train. We had the drawing=room,"'but 1 was out of cigarettes, and I went into the club -car to get some. When I got back she was already tucked in, in the upper {birth, and all you could see was a tousle of red hair. I undressed, ,got into the lower. I waited, and she didn't say anything. I turned out my light, •and still nothing from her, All you could bear was the wheels, going click- ety-click. They kind of beat time, and I started to sing the opening of a duet: "La ci darem la mano! La mi dirai di si Vedi.non de lontano Partiam ben mio da qui." 1t was time for her to come in, and I waited. ' Then: "Did you sing that with her?" "No, I never did."

These were used for the`next .few years Ata, meeting .held on March 16, 1868, it was decided to finish the interior of the church. For several months that summer the dried, un - planed pine lumber, purchased at Monkton for the seats, was piled on end crosswise at, the front of the elturch to "season" it. It was the ' Stewart brothers — Angus, James and Alex—who later planed the lumber by hand and icade the pews. John McVey assisted the Stewarts in making the mouldings, and placing the pews in the churc after the' plastering was finished by Thomas Leadatone of Mitchell on in the eiimmer of 1868. The high pul- ;pit with several steps leading up to it, and the precentor's desk were also added. These were the princi- pal interior furnishings. The build- ing for many years was heated by two box stoves and lighted. coal oil lamps. A canvass was made in the winter of 1874 and what came in at that time practically put the con- gregation out of debt. In 1928 when Rev. -John Elder, who is now a mis- sionary in British Guiana, was the minister, a basement was put un- der the church. This was some- thing' that had been long talked of, but 'by many was considered impos- sible. (Continued -Next Week), WITH THE BOY SCOUTS School is nothing as compared with the concentrated work we have accomplished during the past few weeks—knots of all kinds, lasth- ings and hitches; woodcraft signs, observation, identification at trees, use of axe and knife, signalling, first aid, knowledge of the highway code, making a camp bed. Can you light a fire in the open? That is without using paper or birch bark, and using only two matches. Try it. Some of us were 'succ•ssful, while several of us made mistakes somewhere. However, most of us cooked our meat• and potatoes and enjoyed the meal with no after-ef- fects. The camp fire songs and jungle dance are great. Most of us are Pew full-fledged Tenderfoot Scouts. Two boys have completed their second. class Scout tests, while several have only one more test to pass for promotion to this rank. Yes, boys, it's a great life, this Scouting business. We are learn- ing to be useful citizens of Canada, and we hope that more of you will join the gang in the Scoutroom and out in the open next fall, In the meantime, don't forget the Lions Carnival this month.

F. G. BONTHRON, Hensall, Ont. Want HIGHER Taxes? . . . "Don't be silly," you are likely to retort. But the question is not a foolish one. For if you keep asking the government to do things for you then you are automatically asking for higher taxes. Government itself creates and possesses nothing. All it can do is to take something from the citizens and hand it back to them—less a handling charge to pay the wages of government employees and cost of distribution. Taxes are the means by which this transfer is made possible. Higher wages without higher production per man mean higher prices. If welfare transfer payments are raised because of rising prices then taxes must go up, too. Thus higher prices now mean higher taxes. Keep these facts in mind when you read about new State welfare proposals, or about new wage demands that are not accompanied by assurance of higher per -man production. • a Published as a Public ,Servlee by The STEEL COMPANY.OFCANADA, Liinited Plants at HAMILTON - BRANTFORD - SWANSEA' -^ GANANOQUE - M.OttTREAL
