STAR CITY .-1110 following r:ferenen to Star City, Sask., which is pub lisped in pamphlet form, may be of in. wrest to many of our reactors, as this is thio place whore 1)r. L. Brigham, son of Mr. Win. Brigham, of L,ndesboro, is located ; "Star City ! The name is prophetic of trhat its present enterpris- ing business men hope to nntke it. That this is no idle boast the following facts, Its t0 1 location, , en cion its ' c rrolnc.ntH V and suitability to successful wheat raising, mixed fanning or ranching we trust we clearly establish, to all who have the good fortune of coming into possession of ono of these pamphlets, The village of Star City is situated on the Canadian Northern railway right in the centre of the now famous Carrot river valley district. Scarcely more than ono year old, it can boast of two general stores, ,two hfu'dwa'e stores, ono harnessmaker, one drug store, two implement warehouses, one but her shop, two livery stables, three real es- tate offices, two licensed hotels, one blacksmith's shop, one brickyard', ono painter and decorator, with the usual complement of carpenters, plesteret,s, etc. The professions are represented by ministers of two denominations, doctor, dentist, druggist, lawyer. The school trustees have in hand the erec- tion of a $1000 brick school house, Wo fancy we hear some who may read the above saying, "'I'Ilis dons not 111- terest us, its land we want to hear about." Hold on! Mr, Farmer, its you we want, and you we ore after. As a basis for inducing you to settle hero and a further valuation of the land, it is necessary to show that right here in the centro of the district you have a progressive town which can and will cater to your needs, not only bod- ily, but in 'natters religious and educa- tion also. Bearing the aforesaid re- marks in Mind, to be considered in sum- ming up, we will now discuss; In the first place the soil is of rich black loam with a clay subsoil, well watered, and sloping gently, making it ideal for wheat growing. The vegetation is abnndant, the pea vine and wild veitch abounding and growing to a groat height forming a most acceptable ad- dition to successful stock raistng, and if the abundance of wild fruits be any in- dication, fruit growing will yet bo a profitable industry in this district. Edible roots Ind vegetables of all kinds attain almost phenomenal growth, The Reneral appearance of the country with Its bluffs and stretches of open land, has been likened to a huge park in so much that it has deservedly earned the name •"'1'h° Garden of the West," The cli- mate is as fide as can be obtained any- where in the Dominion, shut in as the district is by ranges of hills and large timber tracks, we entirely escape the cold blizzard or the scorching winds so unendurable on the open prairie's of Manitoba, The crops in the past years have averaged for wheat as high as 40 to 50 bushels, and oats 75 to 100 bush- els ! • This year wheat was about 45 in- ches high and headed out about the let of July, Many who road this and are fortunate in possessing land may give the above but little hoed. But take a look at any trap with projected rail- ways or at the map on back of enve- lopes and you will find that this district is but 100 miles distant from Fort Churchill, Think of it, right at the doorway of the future seaport, in direct communication with British markets, a now established fact which has been the dream of the best financers interest- ed in tho devoloptnont of the groat Can• adlan west, What dons this mean to you with arable lands at their present low rate? It means in the near future increased land values unattainable or undreamed of In any place less fortun- ately situated, 'l'hen again by study- ing the projected railways you will find that in the course of a few years no part of this magnificent district can be further than eight or ton miles from a railway—again an increased value, Finally, to summarise wo offer; An enterprising commercial centre. A splendid railway service, Timber limits within easy access. A market for your dgrain, A. market for your farm pro' uce. To young mon starting out we would again point out the remarkably easy terms 011 which hand can bo ob- tained in this district, Como west to the beginning of new thins, where sue - cess and fortgtre is assyred," —Mr. J.

IIe Iiea at a hospital in a serioua condition. Cubit drove his wife from her sister's._ home, where she had taken refuge, went and got a revolver and followed the two women, who were running away in fear of their lives. Culm and his wife were married three months ago and have quarreled almost constantly since. Relatives who were with the couple a great deal of the time say the man was jealous of her without any apparent reason. She was a widow when he married her, but had always been highly respected. Culm was employed at Sernmence Brothers' gun store in State street, awl Mrs, Sernmence, wife of , one of the members of tho firm, was a sister of Mrs. Cull% On Saturday night the :ouple quarreled at their home near Tenth and Raspberry streets, and filially Mrs. Calm went to the Semmence home and reminded all night, saying that she was afraid to stay in the house with her husband. On Sunday Culm went to the Sonntbnco home and fixed matters up with his wife and together they re- turned home. They quarreled again, and the wife went to the Sem►itelnce home and remained over night. his morning Culm came back and tried to patch matters up again and seemed to be succeeding. Late this afternoon Mrs. Semmence west out to the side- walk to talk to a friend who was pass- ing and left Culm and Ilia wife to- gether, A few momenta later loud words were heard in the room and Culm carte out in a rage, hurreelly jumped unto his bicycle and rode ' wsy. Mrs. Calm followed hint out of the house and ran to Mrs. Semmence try ing, " Ed is going after a revolver to kill me. Hurry and let's get over to town." Mrs, Semmence was alarmed also and the two women started on foot over town. Culm rode directly home end procured n revolver and then followed the two women, Ile rode up behind them and as he jumped from his wheel, he cried out: "Frances, if von won't live with me, you won't live with anyone else." As he spoke the words he shot her twice through the, hrenst, either bullet enough to hate unused death almost instantly. Cillo looked for a moment at his wife as she lay at Mrs, Sernmence's feet, as if to assure himself that he had mode a good job of it, and then deliberately turned the weapon upon himself and fired twice. Both shots took effect. The shote and the .screams of Mrs. Semmence brought people into the street and the ambulnnce and physi- cians were summoned. County Detec- tive Watson and Deputy Coroner Man- ley were called, and began an investi- gation at once. Culm has been ill for three years and under n doctor's care, but was able to work. It is thought by many that his mind may have become deranged by his trouble and the frequent quna- -cls of late and that he did not realize what he wns doing, Reports from the hospital are that he is just alive. RUIN FOLLOWS LOCUST PLAGUE. HAVOC BY LOCUSTS IN DISTRICTS OF HUNGARY CONTINUES. Fires and Steam Rollers—Various Means Used to Check Advance of Plague Have so Far Proven Ineffectual. Vienna, Aug. 13.—The devastation by myriads of locusts in the country in the neighborhod of Debreczin, Hungary, continues. They are sweeping through the land, eating every greet; thing they find in their path. The crops on (30;000 acres have already been consumed, so that the ground is still bare, and the auth- orities are helpless to stay the ad- vance of the insects, All sorts of desperate means are he- ing tried, without avail, to keep back the invading host. Fires have been lighted, but the locusts swarm into the flames until they are extinguished, and the survivors continue their march un- impeded. Twelve steam rollers are being used nt one place, and roller brooms are sweeping up the dead bodies of the crushed Insects, But no apparent pro- gress is made. The locusts cover the enrth in ninny pinces to the depth of gevernl inches, and def)' annihilation. To ninke matters (verse, a storm has carried elands of then[ over the River Theism, and they have devoured Arne- ticslly all the eorn which was standing in sheaves, What is left is worthless as animals refuse to touch it owing to its peculiar smell. The plague first appeared last year, when n force of 000 men was organized to destroy the Inrush, This year the position of affairs is much worse, rind ninny farmers are threatened with ruin.

Another Attempt to Cut Out Criminal Instincts Wien a Knife, Philadelphia, Aug, 13,—The ,Society for the Protection of Children From Cruelty here Is now Mortally "laying the axe to trite'root," as far ad crime is concerned, by having all the children who conte into ite care operated upon for the rontovrtl of every tendency to evil. ' Fallowing the sneeesefui ol.swetions whibh were recently performed, live new Orations have just been ,performed and e dootors who did the work said to- day bhat they were quite satisfied that they would be egttnily strceesasful oneW, At the same time fifty children col- mittt'd to the society's care were ex. antinetl and within the next few (lays will also be operated upon for the erad- ication of criminal tendencies. One of the most fruitful causes of criminal predisposition, the doctors say, springs from astigmatism of the eye. It is as if there were a close connection between physical and enoral obliquity. The removal of the defect from the eye, will, the doctors say, also correct the moral crookedness. Curvature of the spine in children is another seed bed of crime, This, too, 3s one of the ailments for which Oil. dren are immediately treated when they enter the portals; of the children's society.

TERRIBLE SCENES AT SINKING OF EMIGRANT STEAMER. Crowded Boats Capsized—Captain Did Not Commit Suicide --Great Indigna- tion at His Cowardice After Wreck, Cartagena, Aug. 18,—The captain of the Italian steamer Sirio, which sank off Ilormiger's Island, causing terrible loss of life, did not commit suicide, as reported. Ile le here, but refused to say anything about the disaster, except that the rock on which his vessel struck id not charted. Popular rage continued to be centred on his alleged cowardice ni- ter the alennler struck, which is aelribcd to his over•colfidenee in his knowledge of the coast. A saloon passenger, who is a godson of ex -Queen Murgheritn, of Maly, soya he saw several woolen chug• ing to life -belts. in the water thumped with their fists by men until they wt re compelled to let go the belts and all were drowned. It Is officially announced that 1...48 Italians, 40 Spaniards, 14 Arabs, 10 Austrians, 0 Orientinls, 4 citizens of Argentina, 4 lbizalinns, 2 doiitene- gratls and 119 of unknown nationality were saved. -More than 200 of the dead have been brought here. It is stnled that there were three Americans among the drowned. 'Their names are not known. They were go- ing to South America. The Sirio is considered to be it total loss. A number of bodies of the drowned were buried today. 'Ten passengers died after being brought nsbore, The survivors are quartered in the theatres, hospitals, and clubs. Coulee Venteurine, a resident of Barcelona, who was n passenger with his funnily on the Sirio, succeeded in saving his three sons and nine other passengers. His daughter, who is 18 years old and nn expert swimmer, saved two chil- dren, whose parents are unknown. One family ,consisting of the father, mother, and six children, was drown- ed with the exception of the fntiler, who lost his reason. A fleet of trawlers providentially hap - pelted to be only about 100 yards away when Siro struck. Notwithstanding the great danger, the skippers of these boats came nt once to the rescue, jeopardizing their own safety and tint of their ves- sels. The survivors of the Sirio unite in praising the conduct of the captains of the trawlers, Joven Miguel and Vicente Menne, The former steamed close to the side of the sinking ship and took off 300. persons. The crew of the trawler attempts[ to sheer off, fearing that their boat would be sunk, whereupon the captain drew his revolver, levelled it nt his men and shouted: "As long as it is possible to tnke off another passenger we will not move," The deck of the Joven Miguel be- came so crowded with the terror strick- en survivors of the Sirio tint the skip- per was obliged in order to prevent his boat from capsizing, to force them down into the hold at the point of a revolver. The 'Vicente llicnno moved 200 persona and an old fisherman sailing a dingey alone saved 12. The roll call taken on shore shows that 385 persons from the Sirio are missing, but it is believed that a few were taken on board French and Ger- man steamers which continued their voyage after the Sirio sank, It is said that many of the first and second cabin passengers were drowned, their cabins being the first to go under water. Many heartrending incidents were re sated, A group of six children clamber- ed into the shrouds of the Sirio, where their mothers Were taken off by one of the trawlers, The Sirio sank before the children could be. rescued. The mothers, frantic with despair, watched their children as they were engulfed. The children uttered piercing shouts as they were drawn under the waves, It was with difficulty that the'wonen were restrained from jumping into the sett, A monk among the passengers was drowned while kneeling on the deck. The Attstrirtft Consnl at Rio de Janeiro jumped into the sen wearing a life belt. Iie then noticed a woman and child near him on the pohtt of going down. He gave up his belt to theta and tried to swim ashore. Ife was almost exhaust- ed when rescued by a fishing vessel. The body of a child brought ashore had around its neck n picture of the Madonna, and a young Italian who was drowned had clasped in his hand a pic- ture of his finnncee. Among the drown- ed is the Prior of the Benedictine Order with headquarters in London. DOMINION HERE.

AUGUST 10, 1906 THE FRUIT CROP, Very favorable reports are coming in as to the prospects of our apple, pear and plum orchards In the vi- cinity and throughout the county of Huron generally. The yield will not be quite so heavy as was ex- pected in the spring, owing to the fulling off of a large quantity of im- mature fruit, but reducing the yield has had the effect of bringing out finer specimens, and it is expected that there will be a yery large per- centage of the fruit this fall that will class as No, 1. The apples especially are pal'tleul.trly free from scab and the destructive codling moth does not appear, so far, to have done much damage, As far as we have seen, the late winter varieties will not be heavy, such as bnldwins, spies, mann, etc., but the kings, Blenheim and other late fall variet- ies were never better and they will be the principal apples for shipment this fall. A notable feature of the fruit crop this year is the clean and healthy condition of the foliage of the trees and the consequent well- developed specimens. In former years the snow (Fameuse) tipples and Flemish beauty pears were so disfigured with scab spots that they could not be shipped, but this season they are well developed and many barrels will probably be sent away. This change must be attributed to the favorable climatic conditions of refreshing showers and plentiful sunshine, for very few of our or- chardists have sprayed the orchards, BELGIUM ENCOURAGER SAVING. France and I3elglum have this in common that the people of neither country care to emigrate, One reason in both cases is universal thrift, The United States consul. general, Major Church Howe, re- cently described how the tendency to save and live strictly within one's means has been encouraged by the Belgian government, The govern- ment, since the year 1850, has adopted and developed a financial system by which the very poorest in the country, whether native-born or foreigner, may get interest on his money and contract government life insurance or government annuities, It 1865, the National Savings bank was combined with the National Life Annuity fund, and on December 31st, 1903, the balance sheet of the National bank showed a deposit to the credit of this department of this department of $45,992,768, or about seven dollars a head of the total population, In Canada we have very good post office savings banks, but the trouble is that our succeeding governments do little or nothing to popularize them. In Bel. glum, among other menus, in order to encourage small savings by means of postage stamps oii the part of school children, farm laborers and others with little means, rural post- men curry,them the necessary forms for the purpose, So as to facilitate the ,withdrawal of small suras, post- men' may also make payments to persons living a long distance from the post'offlces, All postmasters and postal clerks are instructed by the government to trge the public to make`use .of the savings bunks and, to.this end, the postal officials are encouraged by a small, premium on the volume of deposits ,secured. How differe'nt:from the policy pursued in Canada, .where ;the depositor is met with th•6, utmost Indifference If noth- ing worse, In Belgium the rate of interest nl' deposits is fixed pt'riodi• ca!ly by the general management subject to the approval of the utinis- ter of finance. Every rive Vent's the government, may decide, un the ad- vice of the general management of the savings batik, that a bonus from the reserve may be distributed among depositors who have held their books at least a year, loney deposited may, at the request of the depositor, be cunverted Into Belgian govern- ment bonds at the current rete of exchange. The annuity fund of the govern. meat enables the people to insure for themselves, or for the benefit of others, life annuities that cannot be seized, and the payment of the capi- tal paid in to create such annuities to their heirs alter death. Any per- son of the age of 18 or more may make payments to the annuity fund fur himself or for the benefit of any others over six years of age, The minimum payment that may bo made to insure an annuity is one franc (twenty cents) and the smallest annuity paid by the fund is a franc, while the largest is twelve hundred francs, or $221,60 per annum. The annuities become payable at the end of each completed year from the age of fifty to sixty.tive, and when con- tra.ted it must be stipulated whether tit the age of fifty, fifty-five, sixty or sixty•flve years that the beneficiary desires the annuities to begin, For the benefit of the Canadian public, it may be stated that Belgian annu- ities may he contracted in two ways, first, by paying in the capital to be given up entirely to the fund with- out drawback after death ; and, second, by making the reserve that the capital, less three per cent for general expenses, shall be paid over to the heirs after the depth of the beneficiary. All annuities are per- sonal, unless constituted by the sav- ings of both husband and wife, in which case each receives half the annuity. The Belgian government also is. sues annuities to take effect'mnine- diately on payment of the necessary capital, but the minimum annuity that can be contracted fur in thnrt way is $2,40 per annum. Any per- son who depends upon his own work for his sustenance, and who, before the age stipulated for the payment of his annuity, heenmes unable to work, is allowed to draw at once an annuity calculated from the amount of the payments made up to the time of his becoming incapacitated. In the event of a beneficiary of an annuity dying after his annuity has' taken effect, without any means whatever other than his annuity and In a state of want, the government annuity fund allows a sum of twenty. five francs (five dollars) to defray funeral expenses, Almost any com- bination may be made by the bene- ficiaries who may contract for their annuities by paying in as little as twenty cents a month, but, no an- nuity greater than twelve hundred francs, or two hundred and forty dollars, may he contracted for, In connection with this government annuity fund' there is an insurance fund, which is also under govern- ment management and guarantee, Either straight life or endowment policies may be contracted for. The endowment policies may be made payable at t!:e end of ten, fifteen, twenty and twenty-five years, or to come due at It certain age, and the insuring party must not be less than twenty-one, A thousand dollars Is the greatest amount any one can be insured fur, 'I1ie cessation of the payment of prernlurns, aftct' the first premium has been paid, does not In. validate the right to receive benefits in proportion to the amount of pre. utiutn paid. The Cluladibn govern• tnent might well study the Belgian system of savings bunks, annuities and life insurance and its methcds In detail, A CHEMICAL TRICK, Changing a While Pasteboard Cat late a Strived Thor. Whet' we happen to wltuess a pheuuweuou which seems to violate mauled laws we ure not likely to fur - get its cause If it be explulued to us. The followlug experiweut, which I de- vised for wy studeuts, helped them to uuderstuud as well as to remember soave chemical data: A white cat, utude of flexible paste- board and imprisoned in u glass jar, is shown to the audience. The lecturer announces that without opening the Jar or even touching it he will cause the cat to undergo a zoological us well as a chemical transformation. He takes the support of the Jut' and pushes it forward In full view et the studeuts. The cbauge occurs almost lustuutu• neously, . The cat takes a rich ot'uuge color ou which black transversal stripes rapidly palet themselves, The eat bus become a tiger. The whole transformation 1s pro- duced by emanatlous of hydrogen sul- phide, which is generated 1n the Jar itself without any visible apparatus. The eat has beeu previously coated with a solution of chloride of uutlmouy wherever the orange hue was to be produced and with a solution of basic acetate of lead wherever the black stripes were to appear. Both solutions are colorless. After the coated cut has been introduced in itis glass cage a small piece of pasteboard is placed under the wooden support eo as slight- ly to incline the jar forward, A. few decigrams of pulverized sulphide of iron folded lu a piece of blotting paper are deposited behind the cut on the elevated side of the bottom of the jar. Two or three cubic centimeters of di- luted sulphuric acid are dropped with a pipette on the opposite side, When the performer wishes the transforma- tion to take place he takes the wooden Aupport and pushes it forward as it he wanted everybody to see better what is going to happen, By so doing he suppresses the slight inclination which kept the Iron sulphide beyond the reach of the sulphuric acid. The gas is evolved, and the formation of the orange sulphide of antimony and black sulphide of lead takes place in a few seconds. -G. Michaud in Scleutifie American, MOVING iN PORTUGAL. It Takeo About Fifteen Winne* cut Flee Men For One Job. hIoving day In Portugal is a greater time of trouble than it Is even in this country. A traveler tells about It; "Vans are unknowu, the only means of wheeled transport being rough carts drawn by bullocks, these In turn prov- lug so ruinous to furniture that only kitchen utensils, iron stoves, bedsteads and other uuspollable articles are sent by them. For the rest, the goods are carried often for many miles by wo- rsen, only theheaviest things being taken by men, of whom four are em- ployed to take pianos, wardrobes and other heavy fut'ulture. They carry these on poles laid across their shoul- ders, to which they are tled by scarfs passing under the opposite arm. All lighter goods are taken by the women on their heads, Six (Ruing room chairs forth an ordinary load for one woman. "She carries these by placlug one au her head, to which chair the remaining flee are tied, forming a sort of cage around her. Previous to starting the woman gives herself a shake, the chairs vibrate around her, and, with her hands on her hips, she starts off at a conteut- ed jog trot, covering six miles perhaps In au hour and u half and considering herself fairly and sufficiently well paid with 12 cents or 10 cents for the return journey there and back again for a fresh load, For long distances only two Journeys are made In the day, "The women are nearly always bare- footed, except on the coldest days In winter, when they may perhaps wear sabots, but they often wear as many as fourteen or fifteen much gathered petit - coats of all colors and materials tied with a sash round the waist, the bunch thus formed upon the hips making a rest for the bunds. An the chitin nod glass are carried In blg round baskets oa the head and very rarely support- ed by the hand. About fifteen or six- teen women are generally employed In an ordinary move and four or five teen," The Whale's Mouth, The whale's mouth Is the largest institution of the kind In the artiwa, kingdom, being capable or containing over two hogsheads of water. The ,whale's throat, however, ,Is so small that an orange would scarcely pass through It, and he lives on the minute sea animals contained in the. water. Drawing in a large quantity, he strains it through his whalebone sieve, retain- ing the animal organisms it contains and throwing out the water through circular holes In his bead, Whales en- gaged in feeding ere said by whalers to. be "spouting."

"Next in Importance to the divine prolusion of water, light and ulr, those three great physical fuels which ren- der existence possible, may be reek- oued the universal beneficence of grass. Exaggerated by tropical heats and vu- porn to the gigantic cone congested with Its saccharine secretion or dwarf- ed by polar rigors to the fibrous hair of northern solitudes, embracing be- tween these extreme the maize, with Its resolute pennons, the rice plant of southern swamps, the wheat, rye, bar- ley, oats and other cereals, no less than the bumbler verdure of the hill- side, pasture and prairie In the tem- perate zone, grass is the most widely distributed of all vegetable beings and Is at once the type of our life and the emblem of mortality, Lying in the sunshine among the buttercups and the dandelions of May, scarcely higher in Intelligence than the minute ten- ants of the mimic wilderness, our ear- liest recollections are of grass, and when the fitful fever is ended and the foolish wrangle of the market and the forum is closed grass heals over the scar which our descent into the bosom of the earth bus made, and the carpet of the Infant becomes the blanket of the dead. "Grass is the forgiveness of nature, her constant benediction.

Streets abandoned by traffic become grass grown like rural lames and obliterated. Forests decay, harvests perish, flowers vanish, but grass Is Immortal, Beleaguered by the sullen hosts of winter, It withdraws into the impregnable fortress of Its subterranean vitality and emerges up- on the first solicitation of apring. Sown by the winds, by wandering birds, propagated by the subtle horticulture of the elements, which aro Its ministers and servants, it softens the rude out- line of the world. Its tenacious fibers hold the earth In Its place and prevent its soluble components from washing into the wasting sea, It invades the solitudes of deserts, climbs the inac- cessible slopes and forbidding pinna- cles of mountains, modifies climates and determines the history, character and destiny of the nations. Unobtru- sive and patient, it has Immortal vigor and aggression. Banlehed from the thoroughfare and the field, It bides its time to return, and when vigilance Is relaxed or the dynasty has perished it silently resumes the throne from which It has been expelled, but which It nev- er abrogates.

A SOLDIER'S MEMORIAL, His Comrades Remember Him and the Cause of His Death. The grins humor of soldiers is not often displayed on tombstones, but (here, say's the London 'Tribune, is an inscrip- tion from the cemetery at Winchester, revealed on n walking tour in those peels: "In memory of Tlonlns T'hetcher, a grenadier in the North Regiment of Hants Militia, who died of a violent fever contracted by drinking small beer when hot, the 12th; of llny, 17134, aged 2(i years.

General Gordon made his prayers the real battle of life. More than once he said: "I had a hard hnlf•hour this morning hewing Agnlg in pieces before the Lord." Agng wns his old evil self, "catering for notice and praise!," Ills prayers were strivings for sanctification and character, Professor Smith, climbing the Weiss - horn, had nearly reached the summit, ►ellen the guide stood aside to let hint be first on the top. Exhilarated by the thought of the great view, but forgetful' of the high gale that was blowing on the other side of the rocks, he sprang eagerly u)) them, and stood erect to see the view, The guide pulled hint down— "On your knees, sir; you are not. safe there except on your knees," The sum- mits of life—of knowledge, of love, of success, are full of perils. "On your knees!" Use every one as an altar on which to devote yourselves anew to God, Be reverent, Ile courteous toward your heavenly Father, with devout atti- tude, closed eyes, and open heart. "Ir- reverence is always a mark of the vulgar and shallow nature." President Hopkins used to say that whoever refused to take thhe natural attitudes of prayer would in the end lose the spirit of prayed. Pray for what you really desire and need. Saying prayers is not praying. Praying cannot be used as a inere charm. Christ the Deliverer, Jews had the compassion of one who had come to deliver.

J, H, CHELLEW - BLYTH \Pith a warning blast of the horn, a man, u girl and un automobile whirled around a sharp curve and went spin- ning along the country road. On and on they raced, shooting peat rows of niuple and rliestnut trees daunting their glory of new leaves in the soft spring sunshine, slowing down to cross a little brook that wandered noisily between clumps of alder bushes, thea on uguin with the fresh spring wind rushing past their faces and the huge motor beneath there purrlug like glant cut. Coming suddenly upon a stretch of level pike, Billy Weston bent over the lever and let out the machine uuother notch. Eveu so able a driver as Billy could not speed a motor car and attend to anything else while he was doing it; so, realizing that he was lutent ou the long, straight road before him, Kath- erine Huston leaned back in her seat and studied the face beside her crit- ically. For the past two years—ever since be had formed the habit of flinging his "TBLL ME ABOUT Mtn," BEU DEMANDED. tempestuous heart at her feet In season aud out of seusou—Billy's clean shav- en, clear cut face land been to Miss Huston as the open page of a book. But this was not quite the same Billy from whom she bad parted. The book hnd appeared, so to speak, in a differ- ent edition. Her mind flew back to that parting scene—to Billy stuuding In the middle of the floor, big aud awkward aud al- together at her mercy. "But I love you so!" he bad pleaded humbly, "Can't you ever care just a little?" "No; I never can," she had replied Impatiently, "and I'm tired of beiug tagged around and gazed at and fuss- ed over all the time; it's tiresome. I wish you would go away," she had ended suddenly. Billy regarded her with miserable, unhappy eyes. "Of course, If you feel like that," he said huskily, "I do," she went on cruelly. "I wish you would go away so that I needn't ever see you. Some day you will meet some nice girl who will like you, and you will thank me for being so frank with you," she had ended magnani- mously, That had been six months ago, and now she was speeding to Mrs, Mon- telth's May party In Billy's motor—a sltuntlon of Mrs, Montelth's own de- vising, "I have asked Billy to pick you up on his way, remembering what great friends you two at'e," the note bad said. They breasted a long elope winding upward between ranks of maples and silver birches and slowed down to de- scend a bit of steep, twisting road. The "chug chug" of the motor grew fa inter, "13111y," said Mies Huston, "you have changed," "Yes," said Billy. "Have you found that nice girl I predicted for you?" Billy flushed, "Yes," he said. A sudden sense of desolation envel- oped Miss Huston. She drew her wI'ttps wore closely about her. It seemed no if without warning the clouds had swept across the smiling landscape and blotted dirt the warm spring sunshine, Blllyl She had al- ways felt sure of Billy, Then In a flesh alte understood. "Tell me about her," she demanded, leaning back in her seat and regarding him with amused, tolerant eyes, So Billy. was trying to wake her jNal'ua, Site laud read a story like it once— about a man who told the girl who had refused to merry him au Iwugi- uut;y tale of his engugeuneut to anoth- er girl, whereupon girl No, .1 bad burst Into teas and promptly thrown herself into the utnu'a otitis. Well, Billy would find Out site would not throw herself Into his urtus, Site would piny up to Ilius. Afterward— well, she might relent afterward, She had conte to regard Billy differently during the pest six months, "Billy"—her voice was reproachful— "nl'eu't you going to tell mer about bet ?" "I would If 1 knew how," said 13111y. "Is she pretty?" "She's beautiful." "Light or dark?" Billy turned a radiant ince to Lila companion. "Her hair Is dark—as (lark ns yours," hiss Huston smiled tolerantly. He was too honest, too transparent, to play so delicate n game. She opened her eyes on him under her 1lenvy Motor veil, "Of course you love her very dearly," she said lightly, 7'o her chagrin a hot flush dyed her Nee from brow to chin, 131IIy drew a tense breath. "I.ove lier! I cannot talk about 1t. It's like saying my prayers," he said reverently. Miss Huston leaned back ht her seat, Why had she never realized before how lovable Billy was? They sot In silence, their thoughts keeping time to the monstrous beat of the motor as the cur swung smoothly along the hard road. Billy spoke first. "She will be at Mrs, Monteith's," he said halt shyly. Of course she would. If the motor continued to tear along at Its preseut rate and they didn't land in a heap at the foot of one of the steep hills, she would be there in about halt an hour. Dear, clumsy Billy! She bad half a mlud to tell hitt) that she understood. His next move was more skillful. "I'm mighty grateful to you for put- ting me ou the right track," be went on retnlulscently. "If It hadn't becu for you— Great Scott," he broke ole, "what a fool I used to make of my- self! I don't wonder you had no use for rhe." 'That he should refer to the past so lightly piqued her. He needed to be taken down a little. "Why bother about the past when you are sure of the present?" she flushed back, "Why, indeed?" Billy was his cheer- ful, smiling self again. "Only I was no eud of a fool and I've always felt that I wanted to apol- ogize to you for routing around as I did. Though it was real enough to me —at least I thought so tlteu—aud I was terribly cut up when you threw we over," he went ou cheerfully, "and for a good while afterward, too." "And then?" "Oh, ttreu I met—Ler." Billy's voice was very gentle. He turned Impul- sively toward his companion. "When you see her," he said radiantly, "you will understand." A. shadow crossed Miss Huston's face. Of course the whole thing was only a rase of Billy's, but for a begin- ner bis part was remarkably well played. ' There was a little jolt as Billy less- ened speed; then the car swung smoothly into a wide shaded drive- way leading to a rambling old stoue house, A laughing, chattering crowd filled the wide porch—tea tables were being set in the old fashioned garden, but us Mrs, Monteith gathered her in u vigorous embrace ICutherine was con- scious of but two things—that at sight of them a sleuder, dark eyed girl had left one of the groups aud followed Mrs, Monteith to the wide stone steps, and that Billy bad cleared those steps two at a time and was holding the girl's bands as If he never meant to let them go. Mrs. Monteith smiled as her eyes followed Kather'lue's. "Of course be has told you all about it," she laughed. "Come, Billy, don't monopolize Miss Deering—you eugaged people are so selfish, Dou't you see I urn waiting to introduce Miss IIustou to your flaucee?"

The "chug chug" of the motor grew fa inter, "13111y," said Mies Huston, "you have changed," "Yes," said Billy. "Have you found that nice girl I predicted for you?" Billy flushed, "Yes," he said. A sudden sense of desolation envel- oped Miss Huston. She drew her wI'ttps wore closely about her. It seemed no if without warning the clouds had swept across the smiling landscape and blotted dirt the warm spring sunshine, Blllyl She had al- ways felt sure of Billy, Then In a flesh alte understood. "Tell me about her," she demanded, leaning back in her seat and regarding him with amused, tolerant eyes, So Billy. was trying to wake her jNal'ua, Site laud read a story like it once— about a man who told the girl who had refused to merry him au Iwugi- uut;y tale of his engugeuneut to anoth- er girl, whereupon girl No, .1 bad burst Into teas and promptly thrown herself into the utnu'a otitis. Well, Billy would find Out site would not throw herself Into his urtus, Site would piny up to Ilius. Afterward— well, she might relent afterward, She had conte to regard Billy differently during the pest six months, "Billy"—her voice was reproachful— "nl'eu't you going to tell mer about bet ?" "I would If 1 knew how," said 13111y. "Is she pretty?" "She's beautiful." "Light or dark?" Billy turned a radiant ince to Lila companion. "Her hair Is dark—as (lark ns yours," hiss Huston smiled tolerantly. He was too honest, too transparent, to play so delicate n game. She opened her eyes on him under her 1lenvy Motor veil, "Of course you love her very dearly," she said lightly, 7'o her chagrin a hot flush dyed her Nee from brow to chin, 131IIy drew a tense breath. "I.ove lier! I cannot talk about 1t. It's like saying my prayers," he said reverently. Miss Huston leaned back ht her seat, Why had she never realized before how lovable Billy was? They sot In silence, their thoughts keeping time to the monstrous beat of the motor as the cur swung smoothly along the hard road. Billy spoke first. "She will be at Mrs, Monteith's," he said halt shyly. Of course she would. If the motor continued to tear along at Its preseut rate and they didn't land in a heap at the foot of one of the steep hills, she would be there in about halt an hour. Dear, clumsy Billy! She bad half a mlud to tell hitt) that she understood. His next move was more skillful. "I'm mighty grateful to you for put- ting me ou the right track," be went on retnlulscently. "If It hadn't becu for you— Great Scott," he broke ole, "what a fool I used to make of my- self! I don't wonder you had no use for rhe." 'That he should refer to the past so lightly piqued her. He needed to be taken down a little. "Why bother about the past when you are sure of the present?" she flushed back, "Why, indeed?" Billy was his cheer- ful, smiling self again. "Only I was no eud of a fool and I've always felt that I wanted to apol- ogize to you for routing around as I did. Though it was real enough to me —at least I thought so tlteu—aud I was terribly cut up when you threw we over," he went ou cheerfully, "and for a good while afterward, too." "And then?" "Oh, ttreu I met—Ler." Billy's voice was very gentle. He turned Impul- sively toward his companion. "When you see her," he said radiantly, "you will understand." A. shadow crossed Miss Huston's face. Of course the whole thing was only a rase of Billy's, but for a begin- ner bis part was remarkably well played. ' There was a little jolt as Billy less- ened speed; then the car swung smoothly into a wide shaded drive- way leading to a rambling old stoue house, A laughing, chattering crowd filled the wide porch—tea tables were being set in the old fashioned garden, but us Mrs, Monteith gathered her in u vigorous embrace ICutherine was con- scious of but two things—that at sight of them a sleuder, dark eyed girl had left one of the groups aud followed Mrs, Monteith to the wide stone steps, and that Billy bad cleared those steps two at a time and was holding the girl's bands as If he never meant to let them go. Mrs. Monteith smiled as her eyes followed Kather'lue's. "Of course be has told you all about it," she laughed. "Come, Billy, don't monopolize Miss Deering—you eugaged people are so selfish, Dou't you see I urn waiting to introduce Miss IIustou to your flaucee?" The Moot Vietatl Flab, The cod is the most useful fish in the world. As an article of food, whole- some and substantial, either fresh or salted and dried, It forms a valuable addition to the food resources of the world, and in this and other ways few members of the animal kingdom are more universally serviceable to man- kind. Enormously prolific (one fish pro- ducing 9,000,000 eggs) and widely dim• tributed, Its usefulness Is appreciated almost everywhere. The tongue is con- sidered a delicacy, the swimming bind - der fur'nislies Isinglass equal to that got from the sturgeon, while cod liver oil has a worldwide reputation as a medicine . and food in pulmonary and other wasting diseases, where its high- ly nutritive properties give it great value. The Norwegians give cods' !rends, mixed with marine pluuts, to their cows to Increase the yield of milk. The Icelanders give the hones to their cattle und in Kamchatka the dogs are fed on them, while in the icy wastes, destitute of trees, they are fre- quently dried and used as fuel.—Lou- dun Answers, Young Woman Assaulted, A despatch from Owen Sound on :Mondey says; This morning about eight o'clock as a gentleman was driving into town by the north gravel road he noticed the prostrate form of a young woman tinder the lower strand of a wire fence on the west side of Mill road, a street which intersects diagonally the former on the west hill near the outskirts of the town.

A citizen residing on the north gravel road within 50 yards of where she was found volunteered the state- ment that he had walked from town with Miss Jones as far as his gate, which is within la) feet of the mill road intersection. None of the (neigh- bors heard any outcry during the sight. 'rho police found an orange and a punt - sol on the crosaing, both of which the young woman was carrying when seen on her way house, There were also evidences oft a severe struggle, and the gloves which the victim had on her hands when discovered this morning were covered with blood, while the clothing indicated that It criminal as- sault had been attempted, This even- ing, while in a semiconscious condi- tion, by it nod or a shake of her head she would answer direct, questions, but tho answers given do not assist the police in any measure to get after the assailant or nssuilante, Miss Jones' absence from home dur• Ing the night created no apprehension, as frequently she spent the night as company for a lady friend in town whose dntie:a culled for night work, and it was supposed that, tin young woman hal remained in town for this reason.
