On her wedding morning she awakens with a strange premoni tion that maybe love does change, a thought buried in her mind by a letter from her closest friend, Barbara, the night before.

Barbara did not often come down to breakfast, but this morning she was standing looking out of the window when Dennis came into the room whist ling.

Julku, who set opt from Sonora with Ma$o Rappo to shoot seals. t The two came to Nova Scotia from Finland a year ago to work at the MersCy paper plant. Both were well known and were devoted friends, hailing from the same village in Fin land. When work grew slack at the Mersey they were laid off, and de termined to hunt the harp seal which frequents the Nova Scotia coast and on which there is a heavy bounty. They had followed the same busi ness in Finland, and built for them selves a specially-constructed boat in which they made a number of suc cessful trips. They had gone some two miles off the shore when, Julka says, there was a terrific disturbance a few feet away. So suddenly as to render detailed ac count of it impossible, a great mon ster, dimly seen, arose out of the deep and charged the light boat, shattering and overturning it. Thrown into the sea, Julka, who Ib a strong swimmer, had great diffi culty in keeping afloat, so violent was the commotion. Several times a great dark shape brushed past him. Once he heard hisfriend cry out, but when the sea subsided there was nothing to be seen save part of the shattered boat. Rappo had disappeared. Julka, clinging to the shattered boat, attempted to find his friend, but never saw him again. Neither did he see the great fish. Julka, clinging to the wreck, managed to paddle through the smooth sea -to Cook’s Island. SUBSCRIPTION—$2.00 per year !n advance.

It seemed a long time,- and yet she knew people who had been married for sixteen years—twenty years, thirty years and even longer. “I expect the time will go more quickly when we’re really settled down and used to being married.’ Pauline told herself with a little feeling of satisfaction. A sharp thorn from one of the roses gave Pauline a nasty prick, and it was while she was busily wiping away the tiny bead of blood from her fin ger that the door bell rgng. “The postman!” Pauline thought as she went to the front door, but the little letter box was empty and through the glass panels sue could see the burly outline of a man’s waiting figure.

Five “X’s” on the plate can cels the driver's license automatic ally. , , *.
