LIfE' of Travei BE.gc. n try
By FOSTER T.. FOWLER
While driving along the road be-
tween the second and third conces-
sions of Hallett the other day, .I
noticed more vividly the divisiod
of land. On the south- side the
farms were rolling, but to the
north, for. many miles, extended
the rich flat fields.
My thoughts induced me to once
more visit St. John's Bridge. Just.
a short distance to the north stagds
the small ' ,barn, the last remains
of a once beautiful pioneer home.
About the year 1850 Mr. and Mrs.
St. John came from England and
settled on 50 acres of heavily
wooded land. Oak and white ash
logs were valuable then. They,
built a small barn, supported by
four long cedar posts (still stand-
ing), and braced by cross -beam(
of white ash.
Their little white cottage was a
model home,so clean and tidy in-
side and surrounded with flowers
without. They had many kinds of
fruit trees; one, a St. Lawrence
apple tree, still stands. Mr. St.
John worked very hard clearing
the land, but his kindly partner
was ever by his side.
Theirs was a lonely life. The
deep snows of winter and the swirl-
ing floods in spring came to hem
them in, till their home was made
bright by' the arrival of a small
boy, named Charlie Pierce, from
England. Having no family of
their own, they built high hopes
for him. He attended school at
No. 1, and was a very agreeable,
pleasant chap. Soon he grew to
manhood. They had cleared the
farm by this time, so Mr. St. John
bought the farm across the road
for Charlie, where a new home
was to be set up, , r
As might be expected, Charlie
had a girl friend. She belonged
to a highly respected pioneer fam-
ily living near by. Charlie was
quite a musician, playing the
bones, which he held between his
fingers, and the mouth drgan. The
skies were indeed bright in their
young lives—little did they dream'
how quickly, clouds and, storms
could Come.
One night in Clinton, in spites o
his excellent home -training, Char-
lie took . his first drink of liquor.
On the way home he stood at the
gate of his girl friend's home. Fin-
ally he went in. She met him at
the door and noticing his condition
ordered him never to come back.
That night he tossed and turned
on his pillow until near morning,
then quietly walked away. Mrs.
St. John tried to waken him by
calling as usual, but no response
came. On going to his room, she
learned the truth—he was gone,
and no, one knew where.
Charlie worked a few days at a
place, then travelled on. He kept
going southward. One summei he
spent in Montana; apother in
Texas. He soon joined the Knights
of the Road, and rode the rails in
box cars, and slept in the open
regardless of weather. He was in
one bad railway accident, but man-
aged to survive. His travels the
following years were mostly in
Western Canada. The beautiful
Rockies and the foothills of Alberta
attracted him for some time.
I have often wondered if the
sight of the Great Divide where
the waters on one side of the
spring flow off to the calm Paci-
fic, yet from the same pool be-
gins the. longi and desolate trail to
the stormy Atlantic. How true of
life also. That one decision, or
rather lack of it, made in Clinton
many years before, had meant so
much to Charlie. -
At a meeting -in Nevada the hon-
or of King was bestowed on him,
so as he passed through towns and
cities he 'was decorated. It was a
strange sight to many as the King
marched along, his coat covered
with every imaginable kind of dec-
oration, even to pop bottle caps.
After over 20 years of this kind
of life he decided to return to Rut -
lett. Can any one describe his feel-
ings as he walked over the bridge
and -found those.k-)nd parents gone
and the home in other hands. Mr.
and Mrs. St. John died in a home
for. old people, longing for sight

WITH MODERN
FARM MACHINERY •
Gone are the days when a farmer could quickly hire all
the manpower he needed for work that had to be done
fast to take advantage of ' right field or weather
conditions. Today, experienced farm labour is scarce
and costly.•
The answer to this problem is modern farm mackiinery.
It provides an efficient, economical working force that
is available at all times. The danger of profits being
left lying. in the fields because of a shortage of
harvesting help is eliminated. The ability of modern
farm equipment to handle heavy work schedules at
top speed with a minimum of manpower often means
the difference between profit and loss on today's farm.
Follow the trend that leads to mord 'profitable farming.
Team up with Massey -Ferguson machines and imple-
ments. They keep labour costs low —provide a wider I
margin for profits.

of their lost son. -
Charlie was new becoming older
and the outdoor life was not so
glamorous. Yet he insisted on
travel, but always returned to Can-
ada in early winter. Coming to
Clinton in a severe blizzard, he de-
cided to go to his old home. By
this time but a small part of the
shed remained. He walked through
the drifts; the door stood open, but
the kindly parents were not there
to welcome him. The storm howl-
ed louder and louder as he lay on
some grain sacks in the corner.
Soon he fell asleep, and in his
dream, as of old, Mrs. St. John
came to his room With a glass of
warm milk, tucked the quilts in
around him and kissed him good-
night. He slept peacefully on for
the last time in that home—once
his own, but now no more.
Charlie woke up with a severe

attack of pneumonia. He managed
,tp reach a nearby home' where he
was brought back to health. Char-
lie was taken to the retired peo-
ple's home in Clinton, where he
crossed the Great Divide.
The other day as I stood looking
at the -scene of my story, I noticed
a white dephenium, standing erect
where once Mrs. St. John's gar-
dens bloomed. There it stood, so
white, so pure, with three distinct
flowers on its stem. It seemed to
speak of three lives, separated for
a time, but as we firmly believe,
are now united beyond the Great
Divide.
"How would you break up an
angry crowd?," asked the question
on the police exam -paper.
"Take up a collection," wrote
the applicant.
