"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.

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. WILLIAM HAY. The, wets, try as they may, cannot dampen the enthusiasm of the Unit- ed: States. Good time to decide to do Christmas shopping earlier year, iHere a xdr hc...re l More Clydesdales are nu the way to Canada from Scotland. It Is ee- pceted that the year's imports Will rink to 120, a i'eeord since the war. Over a million Christmas trees have been sltill?0d from New Bruns- wiek to llnitrd Slates markets, according to unofficial estimates bawd 00 eNperts of some 500 car- loads averaging 2,000 trees to the car, About 1110 Frenh-Canadians from the Prairie Provinces travelling under the 0(101 See of the "Surviv- 1111ee Francaise," 1(1011ed in Montreal L3 speci;ll Canadian Ptu•ifi,: Ila;l;ay train at the Windsor Street Station recently to spend Christmas .and New Yetu• in the province of their origin. According to a recent statement of E. W. Beatty, Chairman and President of the Canadian Pacific Railway, the record of the railway's common stock as at Juno 30th, 1020, indicates that 52x,'.1 per cent, is held in Great Britain, 193e per cent, in Canada and 19 per cent. in the United States. 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,- 000 cases were put up. Early in June next year, it is an- nounced, a regular airplane service between Chicoutimi, Montreal and Toronto will be inaugurated by tho Canadian Transcontinental Airways Company—a corporation which. has just received its letters patent. The airplanes or hydroplanes will make stops et Rivicre du Loup, Quebec, Three Rivers, Montreal and Ottawa. Nearly a ton of mistletoe wasted its sweetness on the Eyeless air of the Canadian Paeific Express Com- pany's yards in Montreal at Christ- mas time. It arrived from France and England via the Canadian Pa- cific steamship "Montnairn," and 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- partment of Inunigration and Colon- ization show that the Government 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 settlers, as compared with four last year and the Detroit Agency sent sixty, an increase of over 200 per cent. over November, 1925. February will see the winter sports at the carnival at its height. at the Chateau Frontenac, Quebec. On the 4th and 5th the foremost speed raters in America will com- pete in the Canadian Indoor Speed Skating Championship for all dhss tanecs and ages. Hockey, snow - shoeing, bobsled racing, ski-ing, will be going on every day of the month, but the outstanding event will be the Eastern International Dog Sled Derby, February 21-23, which will cover the 120 miles of the race at the rate of 40 miles a day.

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.
