By -the -by, I see from the newspaper this morning that Mr. Gar- vock's marriage to that Ayr lady will not take place, Perhaps that is what has made him so hard. A man crossed lin love is generally pretty difficult to deal with." "That may be," said Rankine, and it was only after ho had gone that the lawyer paused to wonder in his soul whether that announcement RIM the personal causes contributing to it had anything to do with Peter Gar- vock's sudden and vindictive change of front towards Stair, Alan Rankine passed out into the pleasant sunshine of a particularly fine spring morning, feeling almost at his wits' end. The debacle of all his family hopes quenched, for a spell, the strange wonder of the new force that had come into his life. In the poignancy of Ills regret for Stair, ho forgot tho vivid face of the woman whose eyes had looked into his on the sands of Ayr, while she claim- ed him, us he had claimed her. Almost that Sunday evening seemed like a dream. Yet before he had taken many steps from the lawyer's door, he met her, walking quietly along the pave- 1 ment of that dull street of business- f houses, almost as if she had known of 8 his presence, and had tracked hint there! And when his eyes fell on her face d everything else faded away! t "Oh, how strange!" she cried with S a little breathless catch in her voice, c "You here! I am going to an Institute c farther up the street to inquire for t the character of n servant -girl for my 0 mother. And you?" "My business is done," answered Alan quietly. "I will wait for you." i' They turned together, and walked t on in a silence which, though profound, was neither ',embarrassing nor diffi- cult. a "I was going to you to -day, I think j r --after I got back from Ayr, But t this will do instead.

"As you will, When I came out of the station this morning. and saw the sun shining, I said to myself, 'It is the first time I have seen the sun on Glasgow streets!' And it was because of you!" He smiled at, that, and the look of strain faded from his face. When they carne, almost immediately, to the door of the Institute where she had to transact her business, he suffered her to enter alone, and simply walked to and fro until she came out. The time she was away was actual- ly. about ten or twelve minutes, but it did not hang heavily, for he had plenty to occupy his thoughts.

Dave and Handy exereleed squatters' rights In mottling on the land. They had cleared away 8ufilcient of the for- est to allow for the building of the catlins and the starting of gardens. Although tits St. Croix( Lumber Coll - patty, which owned the band, in en - Wyly, could have evi ted both Carney and Leonard, at any time, the com- pany, realizing the right Of any man to earn his llvolihooal, allowed both to continue living on the company's holdings. Caine the day when forest. conserva- tion developed into a topic of vital im• port • Forest tires had devastated the• her laud:( in other sections and alarnt woe espre►r$od for the limits along the St. Croix, Hitherto, little attention had been paid to lire prcvontivo melt - sures along the old St. Croix, But. tlio 111: astr0u8 tires elsewhere had awak= entad the executive of the St. Croix i,unlber Company to the necessity of fire protection. As a part of the cam- paign that. was organized, the two woodsmen wore called to tho wood - tenth; office of the company at Mill- town. There, Charlie Dickson, the woodlanea manager, Impressed on both the need of exercising every pro - caution to prevent fires. Carney and Leonard agreed to work ]rand in hand with the now policy of the company and returned to their abodes in the woods. But no sooner was Carnew out of sight of the woodlands office than ho expressed h18 disdain of Dickson and the St, Croix Lumber Company. Ho ranted and raved over the capitalistic tendency of the age, and concluded with a threat to do nothing at all that could ho in the nature of aiding tho fire protection program adopted by the conlptuty. And when roman- strafed with by Leonard, all Carney would of'or as an excuse for such talk was that the company' was an oppress- or. • It was In vain that Leonard had pointed out to his companion the need of each becoming a cog in the fire fighting and prevention machine or• gauizod by tho company. Carney had become Imbued with Communistic ten- dencles, had been devouring radical literature, and was an apostle of Com- nlunisnl. A. a symbol of his hatred for all others who did -not agree with his rantings and ravings and his Int - possible doctrine, as formulated by Lenin and Trot sky, Ile started wear - Ing a rod necktie and learned the words of the Internationale, the Com- munist "Irrational anthem, " Not content with becoming a Com- munist I11nL9elf, Carney insisted that ills friend join "the cause." But Leon- ard consistently refused, and this seemed to add to Carney's bitterness against capitalism ns represented by the St. Crolx Lumber Company, Ho contended that tho fire protection pro- gram adopted by tho company was just another -means of keeping the 4employoes of the firm in subjection by making thent ready at all times to re- spond' to the call of the company. There was no need of fire protection. It was but cainottflage to turn the em- ployees Into slaves. And lu addition to onslaving their employees, the com- pany had availed itself of the oppor• tunity to "use" the two squatters, at no expense to tho company, IIo would see the company in IIades before ho would act as a member of the fire police, In short ho would do absolute- .ly nothing to lee,3on the risk of fires, He would servo as no tool for the cont. pany, regardless of what Leonard chose to do.

The cross buttock and the backhool, were frequently in evidence, Carney was reputed to be the champion rough aud•tumble fighter of the river. Loon - Ord was not anxious to use the roles - Boilable methods of the rough'and• tumble millet, but had he contented himself with using fair fighting moans he would have been incapacitated in a very few minutes after tho start of the struggle, After an hour of give and take, prin- cipally take, Carney weakened, Leon- ard saw an opening and whipping over a stiff right to tho body seat Car- ney to the earth, for the letter"ii quiet- us. Tho victor revived the vanquish- ed, and each went. to his cabin to re- cuperate, after the desperate battle. It wait soon after midnight, that Sandy Leonard Intuitively smelled clanger. Although sore from head to foot, ho leaped from his bunk, and peered through tho windows. To the east, was a red light just topping the trees, "Inas a' forest flre," ho emitted. Homed from his semi -sleeping con- dition by tide startling news, he don- ned his cloth00 and ran from the cabin. Leonard hastened along the river bank, to the spot the woodlands manager had told hint of choosing us the artit telephone station in the link to be constructed by the company. The fire was fast growing in intensity. !tight in the path of the flames was Carnoy's cabin, Apparently, the fire had not been started more than an hour, Seizing the telephone, Leonard explained the situation to the Mill- town ofllce. Then Leonard battered through the door of the Carnoy cabin and found Carney asleep. It was with difficulty that Sandy could Induce Car- ney to arise. Tho flames had eaten part of the rear of the cabin before the two moo left the little structure, In a tow mattes tho building was a plass of smouldering ruins. Tlioy went to the telephone station, and found the flames had burned the tele- phone and some of the connecting wire, Animals of all kinds wero scut.- rytug from the woods and racing into the river, too frightened to see the two men on the river bank, In twenty minutes there arrived from Milltown, the nucleus of the tiro department that was in process of for- mation among the employees of the St, Croix Lu►nber Company. The motor equipment of the company had been pressed into service, Fifteen men and each with a fire extinguisher, Carnoy took charge of the hose and hand pump and conscripted Leonard as his usslstant just as Leonard wa$ rushing for an axe to fell trees that stood in the path of ilio flames. Leon- ard was so astonl.3lied at the change of heart on the part of Carney, ho made no protest when ordered by Car- ney, to help with rho pump and hose. Water from the river was soon pour- ing on the fire, The wind was not strong and that aided the fire fighters greatly. So, in two hours, just a ves- tige of the fire remained, Whon the work was over, Charlie Dickson thanked. the two woodsmen for saving the company's timber, for be said there was no doubt that with a longer start, the fire would have des - (stayed the bulk of the forest. After the party had left for Alin - town, Carney turned to Leonard and said: "Say, Sandy, a follow can be an awful fool, can't Ire? After what 1 did to you here you come and save oho from sure death. Do you know what started that fire? Well,. against the orders of the company I started hurtl- ing some slash, above the cabin. I thought it was out when I lett it.

Mr. W. Kynoch, Superintendent of the Forest Products Luboratories of the Dept, of tho Interior, brought up 1110 subject, and made the stutement that the waste involved in the use and manufacture of forest products ie. 1I1,- mendous. Waste in production of lumber, in cutting or ))laking various wood goods, and waste through decay wore some of the chief items of wood waste emphasized, In a report by It. 1). Craig, on tho Forests of British Columbia, the writ• er deals with the waste of forest: two - dude as follows: "Tho waste in the manufacture of lumber in this province is appalling to one ecustonled to more conservative methods. huge .;labs of absolutely clear wood, 3 to 6 inches thick, are sent to the fuel pile, and ends of boards and timbers which could well be used for some purpose are sent to the refuse burner, The burner is the most conspicuous thing about a British Columbia sawmill. The lire never goes out, and it furnishes a pillar of fire by night and n cloud of :(molce by day. Heavy saws are necessary to "break down" the large logs, but it is not unusual to see one -inch lumber being cut with a saw that takes out. a 9e - inch to 1A -inch kerf (cut) • It is esti- mated that at least 25 per cent. of the tree is left in the woods, and another 30 to 36 per cent. is wasted in the mill." Calling attention to wood waste in manufacture, where the consumption of wood is under control is of first importance. Losses by forest fires, Iby insect and fungus destruction, by wind -throwing„ and other causes aro already heavy, and more .or less be- yond control, but when the lumbermen and ntilimen undertake to convert the tree into lumber It should he ' dodo with the minimum of waste.

In English history the royal house or dynasty that succeeded the Nor- mans is known as the Plantagenet, a name derived from two Latin words, "planta genista," which Is the name of the broom -corn, a sprig of which was usually worn by Geoffrey of Anjou on his cap. It. is doubtful whe- ther this' custom of his is to be taken to indicate his love of the outdoor life and field sports, or as a sign that he was not ashamed of the humble origin of lhis house, which had for its founder a woodman of Rennes, France. The name of the family was Angevines, and their house Is called the House of Anjou as well as the House of Plantagenet. On the whole its leaders were men •of ability, pos- sessing great strength of character and indomitable courage. The Angevines of the Ilouse of Anjou or Plantagenet became con- nected with England by the marriage of 1127 cf Matilda, (laughter of Henry I. of England, the third of the Norman King, with Geoffrey V., Count of Anjou, whose possessions were in Franco, Their son became King of England upon the death of Stephen, last of the direct Norman line, on October 25, 1154, He is known in English history as Hen- ry 1I., first of the Plantagenets, Henry's reign of thirty-five years was a "period of amalgamation." The Norman central and monarchical sys- tem, and the old Saxon local and popular system, hitherto existing side by side, were connected by Henry and combined into a single whole, out of which, a generation Tater, the English constitution began to develop. He did much to estab- lish that alliance of King and people ' which finally produced the national English Monarchy. Quaint Old Ceremony. There is a quaint old ceremony carried out annually at Knightlow Cross, near Coventry, F',ngland, which, is known as the "wroth silver" . ceremony. The terns "wroth" is a corruption , of an Anglo-Saxor. word "weorth," tneeming a field, and the money in this particular Instance is paid by the representatives of certain par- ishes to the Duke of Buccleuch. Annually on the morning of No- vember 10, before sunrise, the stew- ard of the estate takes itis stand close to a curious square stone, which formerly supported at wayside cross, and calls on the representatives of the various parishes to pay their "wroth," The sums claimed are quite small, varying in amount front three -half- pence (three cents) to two shillings and threepence -halfpenny (about fifty-seven cents); but failure to make payment entails, according to the ancient charter, the forfeiture of a white bull ,with red nose and ears. Herein is a link with the wild cat- tle of early clay's, showing the ex- treme antiquity of the custom, Sir. Times Instead of Four. There was a complaint in a village a few miles Sront Edinburgh regard- ing tram -car fares, For four ride,• into the citythe company char,'ged a shilling. This, in the opinion of many, was too much.

The 'villager's returned house re= joicing, but there was at least one ratan who did not share in the view that a wise step had been taken. "It's foolishness," he declared.

Boris Sidis, the' infant prodigy of a few years ago, is now toiling ob- scurely in a store, or was when heard of. His vast erudition, acquired with-, out effort at an age when moat boys are painfully learning the difference between capes and isthmuses, did him little good, although it is pos- sible that he will draw dividends up- on it later on. While by no mean, all. infant prodigies become illus- trious we believe that their chances of doing so are rather better than the chances of infant mediocrities, and nothing 18 commoner to learn that a man who has acquired fame, was notable when a boy. It is true that their rare capacities are not as a rule plain to all, but few boys who diylingulsh themselves i11 later years pays through adolescence without at= tracting the attention of some ob- servers who predict future. celebrity for them. This has been particularly true of musical and literary geniuses, The malt who is going to become a great poet usually writes verse as a child, and the man who is to become re- nowned In the world of music usually shows his bent at an early age, It he is to become an unusual performer it is necessary that the should begin young in order to master the tech- nique of leis art. Not many com- posers, however, have begun as young as Nini Rota Rinaldl, of Milan, who, at twelve years old, was a composer, a musician and .a con- ductor. Italy is almost as proud of him as of d'Annu.nzlo, and musical authorities agree that his work shows not .only rare promise, but a solid achievement of which most adult composers might well be proud. At the age of eleven this Italian mite composed an oratorio which he call- ed "The Childhood of St. John," and those who are competent to pass au opinion on it declar0 that it is an es- sentially sound end remarkably musicianly piece of work. For a child of eleven to compose an ora- torio of any kind would be wonder- ful; to compose a good one border,: on the miraculous. One, would suppose that it would be easier to conduct an oratorio than to compose it, but Nini did not find it so. Indeed his reputation received something of a dent when he under- took recently at Turcoing, France, to conduct an orchestra of 260 pieces thropgh "The Childhood of St. John." His admirers say that the boy was not to blame, but the must - clans, or rather, some of them. Atter he had been conducting for a few minutes some rather disagree- able sound began to make titer- selves heard from the orchestra. The youthful conductor glared at the offenders, but that did not improve - matters. It was evident to hint that' some of those whom he was trying to guide and inspire through the mazes of the oretorto had lost their way. Ho probably cursed and pro- tested as is the fashion of the tem-, peranlental of various age and finally after five minutes threw down his _ baton and resigned. With great dif- ficulty he was persuaded to respond to the demand of the audience for an explanation, and then he made a speech denouncing the players, He refused on any account to make a' second attempt. Nini's mother, who wishes hits to be first a boy and four- teenthly a musical prodigy,' is the only one who was pleased at the out: come of the concert, and it is not . likely that the lad will appear in public for some tune to come. r• Another youthful genius who hat., recently come to light is Helet2 - Douglas Adam, an English girl, whop' it is hoped, may ultimately enrich the poetry of the English languago, She began unusually early even fOr 4 poet and between the ages of four and six composed they following lines: "Night carte sighing and all around Witfl still,• The erintson day lay dying behind the farthest hill. I saw an angel with a snow-white flower, And he pulled the petals off, hour by hour." This has the ring of poetry about it, though the figures are not new. - Nevertheless they are remarkable as coining from a lisping infant whose acquaintance with poetry in general must have been extremely limited. Between the ages of eight and ton the little girl wrote the following verses which are better than ,tho average magazine verse, to say the least:— "Do not sing of the restless day With its wiles that steal ' men's hearts away; Not of striving for wealth and gold, These things, are empty and tiry and . cold; Not of the battle fires shining• bright, - Singer, sing me the' song of the • night.

The fifty-fourth annual report of the Sun Life Assurance Company of Cana- da, now being published, once again shows inspiring gains both in re- sources and in the spread of the Com- pany's operations. All previous re- cords of the Company, outstanding us they have been, have been greatly overreached. 43,671 now policies wore issued and paid for during 1924. In addition, a large block of profit- able British and foreign business has boon acquired from a big American company by re -assurance, as well as the business of a Colonial' company operating in the East. Tho world-wide organization of tho Sun Life easily ad• mita of the absorption of this business to advantage. Tho policies of a small Canadian company were also as. stinted. In earnings from investments the Company's experience had been par- ticularly gratifying. Both in the in. crease in market value of securities held, amounting to $6,331,377, and the profit on sales wherein the increased value of securities has been capital- ized, Is reflected the wisdom of the Company's early policy of investment in longterm bonds and similar securi- ties, While it is expected that this in- creased value will be permanent, pos. siblo fluctuation has been amply pro- vided for in the contingency account, Tho rate of interest earned on the mean invested assets advanced to 6.38 per cent. This Is exclusive of profits from sales and represents a substantial gain over the previous year's very satisfactory earnings. Policyholders received or had al- lotted to them profits of $0,681,662 during 1924, That the future position of the Com- pany shall bo oven more solid and so - cure, the reserves of its entire life assurance contracts have been valued at three per cent.., while a special an- nuity reserve of $760,000 has been sot up beyond the amount required by the (Iovernment's standard, When sending money by mail use Dominion Express Money Orders, Safer than sending bills, ;. Surnames and Their Origin ' CLAVER ;Variations—Cleaver, Clevenger. Racial Origin—English.

Technically ho was the "key -bearer," for that Is what the word "claviger" meant, And the key ho born was that of tho public trea- sury, ' He was the ctugtodian of public moneys and documents, the official wito was responsible for their safe- keeping, though not for their collec- tion or expenditure, There wtis a Robert Clavynger on the medieval parliamentary lists, but the still older forms of the name tiro to 'be found 1n such entries as "John le Clavier," "Henry to Clever" and ."John to Clavour." Public offices It those days general- ly were held for life, n& 1110 moot usual and effective way of removing an of- ficial from ofllee was to remove him for I1to. Thus in many instances those titles stuck long enough to the individ- ual, and were even handed down with the office "from -father to son, to be- come family names, HUTTON Racial Origin—English. Source—A locality, also a characteris- tic. This Is a family name, which, if one judged it by ono of its meanings alone should bo classified as a variation of the names Houghton and Haughton, for in a largo number of cases it is de- rived from a place name which means "high -town," I3oth the place and the name, however (which iso Hutton), have an identity distinct from those cohcernod In the origin of the names Houghton and Ilaughton, But there is another derivation of the family name, from the old Nor- man-French word "hutain," moaning "proud." The mention of such char- acteristics as this in connection with a man's name, to distinguish him from' some other man with the same given name, was quite common in the middle ages. At that period,, just prior to the development of family names and co- incident with it, populations wore in- creasing so rapidly and shifting as well, and the same given names were applied to so many persons, that some further method of differentiation, such as mention of the place whence a man had come, or of some personal char- acteristic of his, was the rule rather than the exception. Those who can trace their ancestry back to a form of the name prefixed either by "ro" or "le" will have no dif- ficulty in determining whether their family names develop from the place name or the nickname. The "do" in- dicates the former . and the "le" the later. :.**,RHEUMATISM AND LUMBAGO ARE BANISHED BY Dr. Wililams' rM Pink ells • They Give New Vitality—and more.

Mothers, why not let Baby's Own Tab- lets keep your children well, Unlike that ill -smelling, rank tasting castor .oil so dreaded by most children, the Tablets are pleasant to take and their action, though thorough, is gentle and causes no discomfort to either the baby or the growing child, Baby's Own Tablets are a never failing rem- edy for relieving constipation and"in- digestion; thus they brt;alc up colds and simple fevers, expel worms and make the teething period painless.

Raiph's father is a doctor, and Ralph likes to get hold of an old medi- cal case and a hat of his father's and play that he is a doctor also, Ono day when the telephone rang he called out, "Somebody wants ate!" and, catching up the hat and case, hurried out the door, "Como back and shut the screen door," called his mother, Ralph obeyed reluctantly. When he returned a bit later he looked solemn. "Well, how did you find your patient, Dr, Ralph?" his mother inquired jocularly. "Dead," the boy replied accusingly. "Died while I was coaling back to shut that door," The bars of a -grate et tent have a burned and ugly appearance, which prevents their taking a good polish, This difficulty is soon overcome, I3e- fore applying the blacking rub the bars with a- piece of lemon and they will be quite easy to polish afterward. • Some diseases give immunity from another attack, but rheumatism and lumbago (which is really muscular rheu- matism) work just the other way. Every attack invites another, There is scarcely any disease which physicians find more difficult to treat successfully than rhoumallsm. Long study, however, has shown that the seat of the disease is in the blood, 13y maintaining the quality of the blood, you aro doing the best possible thing to prevent and combat rheumatism, That is why Dr. Williams' Pink Pilin has proved suc- cessful in thousands of cases of rheumatism and lumbago. These pills enrich the blood and enable it to throw off tho poisons of the disease. 'And so long as the blood is kept pure and rich, there need bo no fear of a return of the trouble. Mrs, Annie Wright, Woolchester, Alta,, says:—"I was a sufferer trent rheumatism for -six years and most of that tlmomy life was one 'of misery, I tried several doctors but never got more than temporary relief, The trouble Wined to affect my whole system., Finally I was advised to try'Drs Williams' Pink Pills and through these I found. - complete relict. 1 can strongly recommend Dr, Williams' Pink Pills to anyone suffering from this trouble." • ii • Mr 11111111111111111111.111.1111111.11111111111111 �" of Quahtijp"Tie Tobacco a j15perPacka 400 also in /21 '.

No great amount of brains Is required for falling in love. Most of us had suspected It, but a scientist tries to prove it. He used 200 pigeons, Froin these ho removed the cerebral cortex, the part of the brain that is suposed to do the thinking for folk. The pige- ons recovered from the operation and kept on billing and cooing, The scientist advanced the experiment. ITe removed more of the pigeons' brains. IIe found that of all instincts the love instinct seemed to function on the slightest amount of brain matter. • So much far science and love, Lov- ers needn't fool badly about It. While the experiment indicates that no brains aro needed to tall In love it doesn't prove that being 1n love indi- cates a lack of brains. Love may not bo amenable to reason, but it isn't necessarily feeble-mindedness. It so, it is a pleasant form of insanity— sometimes. Will a Good Pure Bred Sire Pay? A hull will sire anywhere front ono hundred to several hundred calves during his lifetime, Suppose we place the number of calves 'at ono hundred, and suppose the calves by one bull are worth an average of $5.00 per head more than the calves by another buil, what would title mean? It would mean that one bull would be worth to his owner $500,00 more than the other bull, except the email difference in interest on investment. If the difference in value of the calves were $10.00 per head, the differ- ence in the value of the bulla would be $1000,00 and correspondingly greater for .wider differences in the value of the calves. There are cases where steers by a good bull have brought $50.00 per head more than steers of the same age by inferior or scrub bulls, These figures should muko any elan pause before buying an inferior bull merely because the price is low. It is true that merely paying a high price for a bull does not make him a good one, and excellent bulls aro of - ton bought at very modest prices; but it is equally true that really good bulls are always worth the looney paid for them, while inferior bulls are dear at any price. No man can afford to use a scrub bull. A good bull at $1,000.00 is cheap- er than a scrub bull received as a gift, as the figures given above amply prove, ,It is also worth noting that steers by good bulls have "topped" the open market in Canada and the United States, and still hold several open market high price records. Surely the thoughtful farmer will see to it that the bull ho uses in future must be a good pure bred, and the result will bo more beef, more milk, and more profit, Pragmatism.
