"What did you say her name was?'
"Delicia Fairmont, I understand."
"Delicious, eh? Well, she looks It!'
pronounced Darius Moore with tole
tion,
�o—L1elk'ia, like Felicia, yen
know,"
"Married or simile?"
"Well, ns site is bringing 801'01 0h11-
dren with her and dresses in mourn-
ing, I would naturally say that she
is a widow."
"Ifni! I see," tioddad Darius.
"Pretty young to have n Tinnily of that
size, She tnn't be over thirty. She's
a comely, sensible -looking woman, and
I'll be glad to have her for a neigh-
bor."
Darius Moore, aged thirty-five, bach-
elor, was considerably interested when
the next day "the mysterious lady" ar-
rived by train with her youthful tribe.
The house into which the newcomers
had moved had been vacant for a year.
It occupied a narrow and shallow lot,
had been neglected and presented a
vivid contrast to the two -acre garden
of the place Darius owned. That fact
gave him an idea. The children were
playing about the scrubby, desolate
lot and he. experienced for them a real
pity.
"Excuse me, madam," he said, as
he opened the dividing fence, just be-
yond which his neighbor was raking
up the rubbish, "but you haven't a
very inviting spot for the little ones
to play in, and if I don't seem intru-
sive alight I ent out a gateway in the
fence and give them room to breathe
M?"
Delicia Fairmont smiled with a
frankness that attracted him. "I am
afraid they would soon turn your par-
adise of a garden iut.•i sad eboos," she
intimated.
"Let them; it's to be enjoyed, isn't
it? Here, you little people, in a very
few minutes I'l1 have a clear thorough-
fare for you to come and go as you
please."
It warmed the honest, humane soul
of Darius Moore to watch the little
ones scamper about the garden, once a
way of entrance was open to its de-
lights. IIis heart expanded as lie real-
ized that he was relieving the busy
mother of a pert of her many cares.
. There was a hammock and some rus-
tic benches. and Darius made them a
swing, When they were called to
lunch they departed hungry, Hushed
with exercise and solicitous to learn
if they could return for the afternoon.
The nequaintanceship of Darius
with Delicia Fairmont got no farther
than his courteous nod and her grate-
ful, pleasant smile, the tense between
them, during the rest of that week.
The children called the lady "soother."
They overran the garden but did no
damage, and the kindly, indulgent
ways of Darius won them to the man-
ifestation of purely childish affection.
Then something occurred that
caused Darius to bless tate clay that
he had "huff adopted" the noisy, bus-
tling brood. Rain had come op and
the little contingent were kept In their
own house. Their absence and that
of the sunshine made Darius dull and
lonesome. IIe. went into the house,
lit the gas, for the room where he
loved to lounge had only one window
and was quite dirk from the over-
clouded sky. Darius carelessly threw
his coat over a'gas jet, settled back
in a comfortable armchair and in a
few mintUcs was sound asleep. IIe
awoke, dazed, dull and deadened, The
three elder Fairmont children were in
the room, One was pulling at him vig-
orously, all were exeited, and very
soon Darius knew that had they not
come over and detected the taint of
escaping gas and traced, its. source he
would prebabiy have never seen their
faces again. 'i'he coat carelessly
thrown aside, had turned on the gas.
After that Darius greeted his''Iittle
friends as real life savers and a cer-
I twin emphasized regard for their moth-
er grew upon hits. He made a vast
l resolve, One day he drove over to his
married brother at Leesburg.
"I've deckled to ask a certain lady
to merry me, Silas," he frankly in-
formed his brother, and proceeded to
give details.
"Seven children I Darius Moore,
have you taken leave of yarn' senses1"
and the censure which followed roused
up Darius to a point where he angrily
informed Silas that he could mind his
own huslness, and the fraternal tie
was quite sundered.
"I think it my duty to save Darius
from having that hungry'brood of eight
landed down upon him," Silas told his
wife some days litter. Meantime Da-
rius, while he had not as yet avowed
his sentiments to Delicia, had pretty
well convinced her of a pending pro-
posal, Ile looked over the boundary
fence one afternoon to view Silas bow-
ing an ed10u to Delicia and corning
toward hint smiling and smirking.
"I say! I don't wonder she charmed
you," he bubbled over. "And say'
Those seven aren't ber children, They
belong to two sisters who died, and
she took charge of theta to bring them
up, flet busy and pop the question,
Darius, or you may miss the likeliest
match of your life."
"Not ber children?" repeated DarlUS.
"Well, that makes me think all the
more of her 1 They'll be our children,
If she'll havo me, Silas," and forthwith
be proceeded to tell Miss Deliela Fair -
met et how much he thought of her, and.
come back to Brother Silas With betties

THE GARDEN OF LIFE
Life is a garden,
Each moment a • bud:
The years come laden
tVitln sunshine and :loo 1.
God made the garden,
And God made the bud;
God sends the 'sunshine,
And God sends the flood.
Earth is near Heaven,
So near it that God
Walks in life's garden,
And 'hallows earth's sod;
Each bud He watchesWith infinite care,
He alone knowing
The treasure that's there;
Heaven sends angels
To guard it from blight,
Round it are love winge
In day or in night;
Riches of beauty
Are wrapped in its heart
To make life's garden
God's acme of art,
None tho' will open
To yield its. richt store,
The gold with more ease
Is got from the ore,
Unless each moment
God fashioned above
Is touched by our faith
And sunned by our love.
All its rich petals
Faith opens with ease;
Love wins its fragrance
As sails 'catch the breeze—
Faith that drinks deeply
From Fountains at Life,
And grows but stronger
In all noble strife -,e
Love that is Christlike,
Purer than the snow,
Cleansed in the streams that
From Calvary flew--
Thus grows life's garden,
In spite of all care,
Richer and richer
With every New Year.

All previous records have been
broken. by the salmon pack in Brit-
ish Columbia for 1026. It is esti-
mated that the total pack for this
year, when all returns are in, will
be, in round figures, 1,900,000 cases.
The nearest approach to this was in
1924, when slightly more than 1,700,-

was boxed in twenty-two crates, of
which twelve were destined for New
York and the balance for distribu-
tion in this city.
Two hundred a0d ninety-four ves-
sels of 55,295 gross tons and 42,923
net tons, were built in Canada and
registered during the year 1925,
aeeoring to the Department of
Marine and Fisheries. Wood vessels
built consisted of 110 sailing, 9
strain and 102 motor, and metal ves-
sels •of 5 sailing and 8 steam. Of
the total. tonnage 21,448 was attri-
butable to British Coltembia, 11,250
tons to Ontario, 7,670 tons to Que-
bec and 2,102 to Nova Scotia.
United States settlers continue to
cross the border in large numbers
despite the lateness of the season.
November figures issued by the De-

Agency at Fargo, N.D., forwarded
123 settlers and seven cars of effects,
compared with 105 settlers and four
cars in the same month last year.
The Kansas City Agency sent 40

MOMENTUM SAVES "GAS"
Gasoline is wasted when the throt-
tle es 'kept wide open up a steep hill
when shifting to second gear. If a
shift is made before the car slows
down, the engine has the advantage
of momentum. Momentum is a gas
sitVcr.
THE ALL-IMPORTANT TOOL KIT
Inspect the tool kit occa;•onally
end see that everything is i3 place
and in good working order. b case
of a breakdown at a lonely toed, it
would be just a matter of careless-
ness to find that the needed tool.had
beim ]eft behind or required repair-
ing.
CARBURETOR TROUBLES
Trouble in the carburetor may be
due to the incorrect now of gasoline,+
dirt or water in the petrol, 0 stick-
ing or leaking carburetor float, extra
air leaking in between the carbure-
tor and oylindcr, or failure of the
gasoline to vaporize when the engine
is cold.
TO TUNE UP CAR FOR WINTER
Tighten the body bolts and chassis
be)ts.
Clean spark plugs and reset igni-
tion points.
Flush the radiator clean of rust
and sediment.
Drain the crankcase and refill with
lighter oil.
Drain the gasoline tank of nth -
meet and water.
Grease the chassis transmission
and differential.
Adjust the carburetor for a heav-
ier fuel mixture.
Fill the storage battery and keep
fully charged.

ATTACHING LICENSE TAG5
Motorists aro urgedt to exercise
care in attaching the new license
tags that they will comply with the
law and assure the owner the maxi-
mum benefit of the identification of
the plates, should the car be stolen.
Attach the plates permanently to
minimize the chance of leaving them
stolen, Winery nuts and bolts,
thta are used will Ihokl them Lit place
but a thief can steal the plates with-
ii
out much trouble. If rivets or some
other permanent contrivance be used
to attach the tags, the thief's task is
made more difficult, if not impossible
without detection. Itis strictly a
violation of the law in many places
to attach plates behind any object,
such as bumpers, cranks, lights, or
accessories. It is a violation to al-
low the tags to become covered with
much, dust, snow or grease, so that
the numbers on them cannot be eas-
ily read.
BATTERY LORE
If lights show ding when using the
starter, a loose battery connection
or a weak battery is indicated. The
battery should be kept fully charged
during winter weather when It is put
to harder use.
DRAGGING BRAKES
If brakes are permitted to drag,
the brake lining and brake. drums
will be worn down unnecessarily. If
the drag ie pronounced, sufteient
friction heat maybe generated when
the car is on the road to burn the
paint off the brake drums and sur-
rounding parts,- and in cortsh•n cases
actually start a fire. Trying out the
brake: with the rear wheels jacked
up, will reveal such dragging and
will also show whether the right and
left wheel brakes are operating
alike.
VALVE AND SPARK TIMING
How to 'tell whether the ear le
tined too late or too early is not a
difficult task. There are two kinds
of timing— the timing of the valves
and the timing of the spark. The
former is checked by noting the posi-
tion of the flywheel in its relation to
the opening and closing . of the
valves. Tinning of the spark is far
Ampler. Once timed properly the
valves will not change. It is differ-
ent with the spark timing, however.
' When the engine ceases to knock
after an. access of gas is fed on an
upgrade with the spark fully advanc-
ed, the spark timing has beanie re-
tarded at the distributor. If the en-
gine knocks too much, and when the
spark is retarded, the timing is too
;far advanced, assuming that the en-
gine is free of carbon.
