Anne went directly to her room,
and the three men returned to the
billiard-room to take up the game
which the “Wild' Duck’s” fluttering
approach had interrupted. Riddle,
chalking his cue, proffered a word
of advice.

provincial election campaign to
safeguard as far as possible the
temperance interests. He also gra
phically described the deplorable
conditions being brought about by
the present enactments iof establish
ing beverages rooms throughout
the province. The following resol
utions were given unanimous sup
port by the large gathering.
That 'this meeting ’ endorse the
action taken at a former meeting
of the citizens of* Huron County
held September 17, viz., to approach
the proper authorities in Ottawa
and Toronto in the matter of having
no authorities issued t.o sell beer and
wine in this county, and if this can
not be brought about, that we take
further a cion to secure the termina
tion of the suspension of the Cana
dian Temperance Act and failing
this that the necessary steps be
taken to bring about a vote on local
option where it does not now exist
and that representatives of Huron
County co-operate with any repre
sentatives who may be appointed by
those of like mind in 'the countless
of Perth and peel.
We now register an emphatic pro
test against the authorities already
issued in Huron County permitting
the sale of beer and wine. Carried
'’by a unanimous standing v.ote.
We protest against the liquor
question being in politics and very
strongly urge that it be lifted out
of .party politics and that we be
given the right and privilege of re
ferendum.
A resolution of commendation , of
the stand on the temperance issue
taken by C. A. Robertson, M.L.A.,
I-Iuron North, and sympathy in his
present impaired physical condition
was passed.
A resolution of appreciation of
the firm tsand on the temperance
question and the fine spirit mani
fest by W. G. Medd, ex-M.L.A. was
endorsed.
A nominating committee was ap
pointed to draft a slate of officers
for the ensuing year, the result be
ing as follows: Hon. pres., Rev. C.
W. Down, Exeter; pres., Robt. Wat
son; vice-pres., Miss J. S. Murray,
Exeter; sec., Rev. C. J. Moorhouse,

He slipped an arm around her. It
was, sh? knew, a gesture of protec-,
tion as well as of affection, and
she loved him for it.
“Let’s get in the roadster and go
off somewhere,” he said abruptly.
"We’ll make a day of it.”

’ An unexpected invitation brought
relief to both of them. Barry brought
it to her eagerly.
“Nancy, the Tom Hallidays are
going up for the week-end to their
Lake George camp, and
us to come.”
“I’d love to go,” She

They motored up to the Halliday’s
camp. A little after three they
were running through the outskirts
of a small city, and presently Halli
day’s car turned off toward the i ail-
road.
“He’s probably going to the sta
tion,” Dick volunteered. “Ward
Riddle is coming up by train and I
suppose it’s due here about this
time. Tom thought he might be
able to flag him somewhere. Let’s
ge out and help.”
Halliday marshalled his party at
various strategic points along the
plaform, where they might catch
Riddle’s eye. Anne, who did not
know him, found herself midway be
tween Westbrooke and Atwood.
The train came in. Dick whooped
at a face in the window and raced
in pursuit. Anne looked after him,
lied face alight with laughter, and
did not notice a group of people de
scending from a nearer car.
There were half a dozen of them,
women and men, and it would not
have taken a particularly initiated
eye to see that they belonged either
to a cheajj road company or a «mall

Dick called out as Anne approached.
“I thought the blonde was going

There was a light barage of chat
ter as they went back to the cars.
“I’m afraid I made her angry,”
Anne sent a quick glance after the
vanishing group. ‘It was embarrass
ing for her.”
“You can’t embarrass that kind,”
sad Halliday comfortably.

“Silly, wasn’t it? she asked ner
