The dream was ended. He was a married man with a wife who ador­ ed him—and perhaps soon the nur-jnis’s face. Dennis was very fond of sery of which he knew Pauline had his little wife, and Stornaway knew dreamed so many dreams would be. it, a reality. A son of his own. Upstairs he could hear Pauline moving about, singing happily, and with a sudden sense of loneliness he went to the foot of the stairs and called to her: “Pauline.” “Yes, my precious.” “Come here, I want you.” * * * It was some months later that Stornaway, up in town again for one! of his flying visits, chanced across Jerry Barnet in the bar of End restaurant. Jerry was very much the for drink, but he recognized way and came up to smacked him on the back. “ ’Member me?” he demanded “Can’t ’member your name, but knew you long time ago with Den­ nis O’Hara.” “Oh, yess,” Stornaway offered his- hand. “And how’s the world been' using you?” The world, it appeared, had been start has been made in making the using Jerry badly—damned badly! He had lost all his money again and had been forced to borrow. “Never been the same since Bar­ bie Stark chucked me,” ed his fate. “Never been since she went back to blast him! Awful!” “Of course.” Stornaway bered Barbara vividly—indeed, few people, especially men, ever forgot her. “Very fine woman,” he said. “Fine!” Jerry was almost in tears as he explained how fine, how! damned fine she was. “I love that"0^ houses that are being erected on woman,” he said, leaning heavily on!^e property and is lending further the counter. “I’d ’ave—I’d ’ave1 technical advice in their location, died for her and she chucked me.

I was jealous of O’Hara, it will be a him,”, I was, Always with Barbie at dreamily. “And time, always! Not fair; he’d And now Barbara was going back to Douglas Stark! Why, in God’s name? He shut his eyes and tried to picture her face—the face he had loved. Did he still love her, or had he never loved her? Or was it pos- silbe for a man to love two women at the same time? Did she love him? If so, why had she told him truth about Barnet and so sent away? “Tea will be ready directly,” said. She sat down on the rug at his feet and snuggled against him. “Happy to be home?” “Wonderful.” She took his hand and kissed it, and Dennis hated him­ self because the sudden thought came to him that if he had been here with Barbara he would have kissed her hands—her beautiful hands .... ‘I want to tell you something, Den­ nis, darling.” “What is it? Are you in debt? Can’t pay the butcher or something? She pretended “How dare you? housekeeper.” “So you are.” leaned back again. “Don’t strangle me, my child—what is it?” But she hid her face against his coat while she told him asking a little question that wavered between happy tears and happier laughter. “Dennis—would you like to have a son?” It was some time later over the tea and hot toast that Dennis said: “This wonderful secret — does your mother know?” “Not yet—only you, darling—and Barbara.” “Barbara?” The blood rushed to his face. “What made you tell her?” And Pauline answered happily: “Because she is my best friend and because I love her.” ’There* was a little silence, then Pauline said, “But I’m sorry about one thing.” “What is “Barbara ask me to the right sort to bring up a child in the way it should go’—I’m so sorry about that, because I know she’d bring him up most beautifully, bless her.” “Him?” said Dennis with raised eyebrows and in his eyes. “Of course Pauline said should like him to be just like you? pretty little wife of ’is own.’ Of course, if it is a girl I shall call “I dont expect O’Hara minded, her Barbara whether she'll be god-'whatever it was,” Stornaway said, mother or not.” I “Oh, I shouldn’t do that,” Dennis thing or bear ill-will, •said hurriedly. j “But why not?

It was after tea, when Pauline was hustling about the house that Dennis got up from his chair and went over to the mantelpiece where Barbara’s queer wedding present stood. Somehow it had never meant very much to him until now—he had been rather impatient of its ob­ vious sentiment—but to-night It seemed to appeal to him almost as if it had been a message from Bar­ bara herself. “Love locked out.” What had she intended it for— for him?-—for herself—or just for nothing at all?

START ON BIRD SANCTUARY AT BEACH O’ PINES London Naturalist Selects Bird Houses Intended For Oub Devel­ opment. With the erection of more than 100 bird houses of various types during the past week, a definite Beach o’ Pines, the smart new all- year-round club that is being devel­ oped just two and a half miles south of Grand Bend, into a national bird and game sanctuary. In addition to the houses which are now up, an­ other shipment of bird dwellings is on its way to the property and will be placed as quickly as possible. F. 8. Salter, who is developing the club, is being assisted in providing homes for the birds by W. S. Saun­ ders. well-known naturalist. Mr. Saunders- selected the various types It is estimated that within a very .'short time the Government will be approached in respect to officially designating the Beach o’ Pines prop­ erty as a game and bird sanctuary. • In the meanwhile development along these lines will be carried out as originally planned. The Beach o’ Pines property is fa­ miliar to all in Western Ontario. It is just south of Grand Bend and on the lake, with a frontage of more than six miles and comprising some 5,300 acres of land, wooded and traversed of six miles directly through the •centre of the property by the Aux Sauble River. The development which is planned will make it sec­ ond only to Lucerne in Quebec in size as an individually-icontrolled all- year-round club. For years Beach o’ Pines has been a natural stopping-off place for wild geese and ducks on their flight nortlj and south. The property also boasts grouse in profusion. The countless thousands of pines found on the land are being used by hundreds of different varieties of birds. In ad­ dition to the game already found at Beach o’ Pines, other varieties will be added from time to time. The bird houses which have been erected include those for martins flickers, bluebirds, tree swallows .wrens, chickadees, and the countless 'other birds native to this section oi Canada. Fruit and not trees and berry-pro­ ducing shrubs, as well as other types of feed, are being provided for the birds. A portion of the property is to be set aside for the preservation of the deer already there. Canada’s na­ tional animal, the beaVer, will have a spot all its own along the banks of the Aux .Sauble when the sanctuary plans are completed. According to present reports, the club will extend an opportunity to Western an other universities to make use of the in field biology, sggestion that a built around this The profusion of wild life will be of special Interest to the children Who as members of the club will spend their summer holidays in this delightful Spot. ’ It is heavily for a distance sanctuary for trips With the possible sumriier course he interesting subject Did you hear,about the .Scotsman who rushed to the telegraph office during the eclipse and asked if they could send a message at night rates?
