I asked Bill about it and he said I’d been chewin’ weed. There wasn’t no- such He said the a prospector and a packet of mail brought back, containing considerable amount of bank currency consigned to Dawson against the gold. Drew’s choice of a substitute courier had been good gamblng. Speed knew that life had left marks on him legible enough to that veteran judge of men. On delivering the gold to the wharf agent at Skagway he had not been able to pick up his sled load immediately for the return trip. A ship lay in rhe gulf in a twinkling flotsam of shore ice. His arrival, delayed by the storm was being celebrated as a harbinger of Spring and spoils. Even the shore crew was drunk, further retarding the loading of the cargo. Meanwhile the mail was brought ashore, and the agent, nervous enought at having custody cf the gold, was still more uneasy ab> ut the police mail—-an ■oilskin—wrapped and sealed packet of bank notes in easy portable form. His strong-box -had been broken recently by thieves, and the packet was presumptively safer in the game pocket of Speed's coat. ■Facts to he read by the marshal as indicating that Speed had stolen the regular mail runner's orders, had delivered the gold to obtain the mail and had been prevented taking the ship only by the shore tie-up. The strangely timed event left him open to capture occured during the forced wait. "With many hours to kill he had decided to visit' Steiner at what was now Skag way’s General Store. Money lend ing was one of ‘his gold mines, and speaking cf curious pledges, he men tioned an oddly shaped clover-leaf nugget on which he had loaned something more than its weight to a gambling client. Then the hunt was on. The client wore a dicer hat and stuttered; was known as "Lefty” and suspected of being a pickpocket. Speed ran the man to earth in a that long of a once loco horse in the range, only kin I had was who-’d left Nevada and he wasn’t a man I would want to remember.” The enigmatical figure of the man with the mukluks loomed across Maitland’s mind.

He never talk ed of it when he was sober.” That fragment cast the shadow of a strange triangle, though Pete seemed unaware of anything tragic in its reference to her, After this break-up she had lived alone with the brooding Owens—a secluded life. She did not say what brought him North at last to. the prospector who- had wronged not what her own. adventures been after his death, or why she recently left the rafters’ camp the Lewes going cut.

Outwardly he wore an air of com posure for the benefit of the heavily armed guard in the passage, on the other side of the grated cell. Being arrested on the charge of having murdered the shell dealer in this eamp last fall was bad enough. But -he had not discerned the real teeth in the trap until Fallon enter ed the marshall’s1 office, just before he was committed to the cell. Now when ‘he thought -of his dog team waiting for him by file ware house wharf, and of Drew waiting at TagUh for the mail and freight he had been trusted to deliver, it was all he could do to refrain from getting up and kicking the wall. The blizzard had caused a disrup tion in Drew’s mail service at a critical time when their inspector was short of a driver. A sled shipment of gold was to be run to Skagway willingly have bet his shirt, lured the nugget into the game on a rais ed pot. The shining, oliated piece of gold was weighed on the bar scales and played fcr twice its gold value. Speed won it with a straight flush. When Lefty disconsolately quit the table, .Speed grilled him about the nugget. Under pressure, the thief maintained the extraordinary story that he had lifted it in Skagway from the pocket of a man now dead—the shell dealer, in fact, whom Speed had shot at the door of The Pack Train, salocn. In order to learn something more about the man with the dicer, Speed had been looking for Rose when the marshal seized him. That the man he was accused of murdering should be the man who had ‘‘brought the nugget to Skagwoy, was an apparently .perverse loop of the influence he called luck. Now it lay in the marshal’s safe, along with Speed's .guns and mail. Speed’s breath smoked in the old cold cell. They had freed his hands, and had not troubled to remove his gun belt—signs that pointed to brief imprisonment and swift judgment, although this was his second day in the cell. He did not notice the darkening of the cell, o.r the wilder music that sounded from the camp during his long abstraction. It was the open ing of the street door that made him aware of both. There was a different tread in the passage; dif ferent, yet somehow familiar. "Take it in yourself,” the guard growled testily to a shadow by the grating. The big door was unlocked, and as the figure edged into the some what clearer light of the. cell, Speed understood why he had been trying to (place the footfall in his memory. The man who confronted him was Frencthy, carrying a plate and curv ing his chest to bring a deputy’s badge into more formidable prom inence. .Speed bit his cheek as he glanced over the contents of the plate with out accepting it. “Well, you're a nice one, Frenchy,” he commended mildly. “So they give you a deputy's star. Look .good on ye, too?’ The ex-fisherman squirmed back a little, not quite able to -keep a firm front with that even voice in his ears. “Y'O'tt don't forget, either, do you, Frenchy?” his prisoner acknowledg ed. eyeing the fish, and then the Bowel Complaints of Children Very Often Dangerous There is no time during the year When children are not subject to some form of bowel complaint, but it is mostly during the hot summer months, or early fall, when diarrhoea, dysentery, colie, cholera morbus, cholera infantum, summer complaint or other bowel troubles manifest themselves, All mothers should use Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry during these trying times, It is an old and tried remedy.

As the advent of mosiac dis ease is making it advisable to renew plantations more frequently, the grower who is unable to get large quantities el' manure will find that shorter rotations lends itself more to the cover crop and mulch system, for each new plantation may be pro ceeded for a reason by a crop of clover or alsike which, when turned over, will leave the soil in excellent condition for the new plantation. This method of renewal say, every six years, with proper green manur ing, cover crop or mulch, and ade quate quantities of commercial fertilizers, will render it possible for raspberry .growing to take its place beside orcharding in being more or less independent of the increasingly expensive manure.

Though the tent had looked dark from cutside, its interior was vague ly illumined by a filtered wavering flow from the kerosene flare in the street it faced on. Rummaging un covered a crowbar of handy size. In a drawer he found a collection of six-shooters, which said little for Steiner’s judgment of firearms, but he quickly picked out a .45, loaded it from his own belt and put it in the holster. Still the object of his search eluded him. He was beginning to think that the Jew had done some empty boasting when his eye fell on a longish bax in the far corner, un der a shelf. He pulled it out, and delicately prying it open with the bar, .put his fingers inside. With a grunt of relief, he removed the cover and took out two sticks of dynamite As he dropped in the snow and paused to listen, his skin prickled with a sense of some lurking pres ence close by, soundless and unseen. He startly swiftly back along his previous trail through the tents, without touching the gun at his belt. Speed crouched forward tensely, gripping the bar, as a dark shape brushed along the tent wall within a yard of him. In that instant of its disclosure/ his hand lunged out and clutched a man by the throat. He raised the .pinch bar. "D-d-don’f him me,” he p.rotested in a hoarse whisper. “I’s for ye. 1 s-seen you prowl into the Jew's t-t-tent to get the dynamite. D-don't try it!

Miss Regina Van Der Hoorn, of Cavan, Ontario, won the -proficiency prize, and in addition captured the Canadian Feed Manu facturer’s Association award for the best thesis on animal nutrition. Miss Van Der Hoorn shared hon ors in the graduating year with John Dryden, of Brooklyn, Ontario, a grandson of the late Hon.

Cowage of Woman on the Fann "There is a good case for sug gesting that every farmer and his family are entitled to a short holi day each year. In evidence given recently before the Royal Commis sion on Wheat Farming in Australia many farmers spoke of the courag eous support which had been afford ed to them in their fight with ad versity by their wives' and daughters and the Commission feels that spec ial reference should be made to the part which women are playing in mantaining the industry during the time of depression. On the average their work is harder than that of their sisters in the city, and the ac tivities of various organizations in the different States of the Common wealth should have wider support in order that the home life of the wheat farmer can be improved.” The above extract from the report of the Royal Commission in Australia applies with equal force to the wo men on Canadian farms. Survivors of Joseph H- Gowan, year-old farmer of Biddulph Town ship, are Mrs. L. Gowan, three sons, Charles and Frank at home and Ir vin, of Biddulph and two daughters Mrs. J.

SADLER—JOHNSON A pretty June wedding was per formed at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Johnson, sylvan, when their daughter Eva Madeline, became the bride of Alfred Wilson Sadler, eld est son of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Sad ler, also of Sylvan. On their return from their honeymoon they will re side on the groom’s farm in West Williams. The seeds of most annual when embedded in the soil their vitality for several years. The seeds of the mustard family and ■others, when ploughed down after ripening, seldom germinate the fol lowing year and not until the sur face by further cultivation. Light surface cultivation during the early autumn serves to stimulate germin ation in freshly ripened weed seeds. Thus, a considerable proportion of them may be destroyed, while, on the other hand, by deep ploughing the difficulty is simply deferred to suc ceeding years. The germination of weeds, as well as other seeds, is affected by heat. Many kinds of weed seeds, such as some grasses and mustards will ger minate in the late autumn or early spring when the soil is cold. Others, such as buckwheat and lamb’s quar ters, require a warmer soil, and the seeds of foxtail and purslane con tinue dormant until stimulated by the heat of summer. Late autumn or early spring cultivation is not ef fective in destroying the seeds of weeds that will not germinate unless the soil is warm. Some of the worst weeds are so prolific in the production of seeds that relatively clean fields may be come three to go plant foxtail, .pigweed, duces from 10,000 to 20,000 seeds; worm-seed mustard about 25,000; shepherd’s purse about 50,000 and tumbling mustard about 1,500,000. With such productiveness, soils be come quickly infested with weed, seeds, although, on account of their inconspicuousness, their presence is not fully realized. Allan Keys, fifth form student at the Collegiate in Seaforth, has been awarded the second annual Alumni Memorial Scholarship, according to an announcement made last week’. The scholarship is valued at $25.00 and is awaded to the graduating stu dent who has attained proficiency in school work and who has been of most value to the school. Selection is made by the students of the sen ior year, the staff and the executive of the Alumni Association, from amongst those senior students who have attained an average of at least 6 6 per cent in eight papers. The same student won the Form V prize of $25.00 for highest stand ing on seven Upper School papers and this prize goes by reversion to Fletcher Whitmore who ranked sec ond.
