cerning the King Charles spaniel he was

before he discovered that he hadscarcely
left himself time to cutch the Hist train

"Ton will walk as, for as the station

"00, I don't think he is w'el] enough
for us to let him off the sick list yet!
Ile had better stay here another night,"
interposed Airs. Nilson, hospitably.
"0h, nonsense! Tie isn't made of gin-

Glyn not to be late at Ids office, and
the two young men were walking bast

"No, not ,just nor," answered the
other, rather hastily, "31y' motive is at
Torquay, stay'ing with some relatives, so
I'm on my own hook at present. Nice

David spoke with 100re irritation than

"011, nu, ,you eau help trim, of course,

For David felt the galling chide of his
wife's wealth more and more heavily as
the feeble loyalty -which was all that
renntined of the love of his passionless
nutrringc--dni)y d)miershed, She was
cold, he said to himself, to excuse tie
tepidness of his 0100 feelings toward her,
and perfunctory caress which sometimes
brought the troubled look of n puzzled
child into his wife's fuse, and increased
her reserve toward hien until it became
a conetrniut that was almost fear.
Doris had been married six months,

.At first she tried to stow, off 1los

and Doris tried to be glad that at least

, THE BUILDERS'` EXHIBITION. 1
The April Show Promises to be One
of the.Finost Ever Held in Canada.
Active prepenttious are already ill
progress for the builders' and contrite
tors' exhibition, which is to be held in the
Coliseum, at the .corner of Guy and Dors
ehester streets. This display promises
to be far and away a greater success
than the first exhibition, which was
held in the, Victoria Bink last fall, al-
though that exceeded all the •cxpecta•
tions of• the promoters, The approach•
ing exhibition, to be 11(01 during Easter
week„April 20, will leave many feitores
which from the standpoint of the ex•
hiMdors and visitors will mark it as one
of the finest in the list of Canadian trade
shows of recent years,
Apart from the spectacular point of
view, whichwas very attractive, the last
exhibition was most successful in its
meney•ntnking aspect, and the proof of
its utility is to be found in the fact
that nearly all the firms that exhibited
last year have (applied for space in the
coming exhibition. The change in the
date has been made at the request of
tltose most nearly concerned so as to
meet the desires of the exhibitors. Dur•
ing'the 0000ller months builders and
contractors are 50 busy that they have
little or 00 dune to devote, to prepare -
tions for exhibition purpose!), Contracts, I
too, are largely carried through 11) the I
spring. and now devices shown at this 1
exhibition will stand a good chance of
being adopted in the coming season,
The site selected for this year's show
is the new Coliseum rink building. In-
creased space will thereby be obtained
and maty exhibitors already are asking
for large spaces in whioh to slake a good
display. Applications have Leen received
not only from the umpority of the grin• 1
oiled concerns in Canada, but glee from '
many in the United States,
'!'he .exhibition will be open for six
day's. During the four days of the last
exhibition 11,5014 persons paid for ad-
mission, This year it is estimated that
triple this number will pass the bee
office. The list of firms that have al-
renidy secured space includes the fol-

ELECTRICITY ON SAXON FARMS.
Current Oerma11 ncwspape1e contain
an interesting account of the applica-
tion of elec'tricity to re. group of farms
in Saxony. The electric current: 0s r
brought from all adjacent town by over-
head vires carried on woollen polos.
Two receiving stations are arranged,
from which the electricity is distributed
to the farm buildings and to convenient
positions in the fields far the purpose

er equipment six portable motors .1('e
provided, which eine' be used for driv-

where their services are required, flee

for the purpose.
It meat be pointed out, however, the

doubtful whether such a scheme, could
