"The Spinster's Return," a roaring
farce comedy which was presented un-
der the auspices of the ladies of St.
James' Church in the parish hall on
Thursday evening proved a great suc-
cess, There was a large attendance.
The play was repeated again on Tues-
day.
One of the best known and most
highly esteemed pioneer residents of
McKillop passed away on Wednesday
April 29, in the person of Mrs, Tim-
othy Ryan in her seventy-fourth year.
Mrs. Ryan had been a partial invalid
for the past five years, the result of
an accident when she suffered a fall
which fractured her hips, Her death
nevertheless came as a great shock to
her family and friends as she had only
been ill a week, the immediate cause
of her death being pneumonia: The
deceased was a daughter of the late
John Ryan and was born in Went-
worth County near Dundas, but came
with her family to Hibbert township
when a child. There she resided un-
til her marriage with her now bereav-
ed husband fifty three years ago. She
is survived of a family of six sons and
four daughters, Mrs. Gibbons, East

Mrs. Woods, Stratford, and Mrs, De-
laney, McKillop; James V., Seaforth;
Joseph, of Detroit; Timothy and Frank

following resolution passed by their
executive,' "Resolved, that the Sea
forth branch of the G. W. V. A. are
strongly opposed to the local drive of
the Y.M.C.A, in so far as it relates to
the benefit or in the interest of the
returned .men. The local G. W. V. A,
will before very long have to stake an.
appeal to, the local people for financial
assistance along the lines peoposed.
As a chartered organization the G. W.
V. A. feels that it is quite capable of
looking after the interests of the re-
turned men and is doing so at pres-
ent time." After considerable dis-
cussion in which the case of the G. W.
V. A, was ably supported by C. P.
Sills and R. S. Hays the following re-
solution was carried. That no action
be taken in the present drive of the
Y,M,C.A. and that the proposition of
the G,W.V.As be placed before the peo-
ple in lieu thereof.

OUR SERIAL STORY
•
THAT MAINWARING
AFFAIR
s by A, Maynard Barbour
(Continued from last Week)
that he himself had been shipwrecked,
as reported years ago, but had escaped.
1n some miraculous !intoner; that reach
ing Africa at Iasi, he disclosed his iden-
tity to no one, but devoted all his ener-
gies to acquiring it fortune for his sop.
He succeeded even beyond his anticipa-
tions, and when nearly twenty years
h;td elapsed, sailed for his old Austral-
ian home, to find his son. Arriving
there, he learned that his son, while
pursuing his studies, In England, had
obtained information of the will made
in his father's favor, and learning facts
which led him to believe that the will
was still in existence and in the poss-
ession of his father's younger .brother,
had, with the advice of his London at-
torneys, gone to America, and was then
in his uncle's employ for the purpose
of securing proof regarding the will,
and if, possible, possession of the will
itself. Upon learning these facts, my
brother had immediately proceeded' to
London and to Barton & Barton, Isis
son's attorneys, who, upon his arrival
there, informed him that his brother
was about to celebrate his approach-
ing fiftieth birthday by naming the
son of Ralph Mainwaring as his heir,
Ralph Mainwaring and family having
just sailed to America for that purpose.
My brother then took the first steamer
for America, arriving only two days
later than• Ralph Mainwaring, Though
unable to obtain an interview with Inc
at once, as he had intended, he had suc-
ceeded in catching sight of me, in order
to assure himself that the marked re-
semblance between us still existed;
and, to emphasize that resemblance, he
shaved and had his hair cut in the
sante style in which wore mine, so as
to render the likeness more striking
and indisputable when he should an-
nounce. himslf to me.
"His existence and .return he wish-
ed kept secret from his son until the
successful consummation of his plans,
but he wrote the letter as an explana-
tion in case there should be any un-
forseen termination. The letter was
overflowing with a father's Love and
pride; his allusion to the difficulty
with which he had restrained his feel-
ing when he found himself face to
face with his son on the afternoon of
his call, being especially touching.
The perusal of that letter added a hun-
dred -fold to my own grief and remorse.
I dared not run the risk of disclosing
myself by sending it to my brother's
son, but I have preserved it carefully
for him, and desire it to be given him
as quickly as possible,
"Through New York papers 1 learn-
ed from time to time of the murder of
Hugh Mainwaring, the lost will, the dis-
covery of the old will, and the appear -
of the rightful heir. From that source,
also, l learned that Merrick, the de-
tective, was shadowing the murderer,
who was generally supposed to be a
man by the name of Carruthers, 1
had one advantage of Merrick I knew
hits—my old friend Whitney having
often pointed him out to me—while he
did not know the man he sought.
Many a time in my wanderings 1 have
seen him, and knowing well the game
he was after, eludes( him, only to fall
at last into the snare of one whom I
did not know. The mai; searching
for the murderer of Hugh Mainwaring
encountered another, trailing the mur-
derer of Harold Scott Mainwaring,
and I suddenly found ' my time had
Come! A coward then, as always, 1
tried 10 shoot myself, In the dark
ness 1 held the muzzle of my brother's 1
revolver to any own temple; instantly
there flashed before me his face when
1 had killed himl I grew sick, any
hand trembled and dropped; then, as
my pursuers carne nearer, l aimed for
my heart and sired! This is the re-
sult. Death was not instantaneous,
as I had hoped; instead, 1 was given
this opportunity to make some slight
reparation for my sin; to aid, as 1
said before, in righting the wrong
wrought by any past life,
"And now, in these my last mom-
ents, I do solemnly affirm and aver
that on the night preceding his death,
my father executed a will restoring to
my elder brother his full right and
title, which will I have for more than
twenty-five years last past wrongfully'
and fraudulently withheld and con-
cealed; and that my brother being now
dead, killed by my own hand, though
unwittingly and unintentionally,' his
son, Harold Scott Mainwaring, is the
rightful and sole heir to the entire
Mainwaring estate,
"Signed by Hugh Mainwaring in the
presence of the following witnesses;
WilliamBarton, M. D. Montague,
J,
Joseph P. Sturgiss, M. D., M. J. Wheat-
ing, M. ID., Daniel McCabe and C. D.

This was followed by brief testimony
by Harold Scott Mainwaring and the
old servant, Janes Wilson, but the
proceedings following the reading of
the statement were little more than
mere form. 'there was little attempt
at cross-examination, and when the
time came for the argument by coun-
sel for contestant, Mr, Whitney,. who
had been deeply affected by the con-
fession of his old friend, declined to
speak.
All eyes were fastened upon Mr.
Sutherland as he arose, as was suppos-
ed, .fo rthe closing argument . For a
moment his eyes scanned the faces of
the jurors, pian by man, then address-
ing the judge, he said slowly, in clear,
resonant tones,—
"Your honor, I submit the case
without argument."
In less than forty -live inh,utes from
the conclusion of the statement the
jury retired, but no one moved froin
Itis place in the crowded court -room,
for all felt that little time would be
required for their decision. In ten
minutes they returned, and, amid the
silence that followed the foreman an
nounced the verdict, "for the propon-
ent, Harold Scott Mainwaring,"
Cheers burst from all paras of the
roost, and the walls rang with ap-
plause, which was only checked by a
sudden, simultaneous movement of
severay men towards the contestant.
With the announcement of the verdict;
Ralph Mainwaring had risen to his
feet, as though in protest. For an in-
stant he stood gasping helplessly, but
unable to utter a word; then, with a
loud groan, he sank backward and
would have fallen to the floor but for
his attorneys, who had rushed to the
assistance of the stricken man.
A few moments later the lifeless re-
mains of Hugh Mainwaring were car-
ried from the court -room, while, in
another direction; the unconscious
form of Ralph Mainwaring was borne
by tender, pitying hands, among them
those of the victor himself, and the
contest of Mainwaring versus Main-
waring was ended.
q # t6 N• ?' ti4 is
The bright sunlight of a December
afternoon ten days after the close
of the trial, crowned with a shining
halo the heads of Harold Scott Main-
waring and his wife as they stood to-
gether in the tower -rooms at Fair Oaks.
But a few hours had elapsed since they.
had repeated the words of the beautiful
marriage service which had made them
husband and wife. Their wedding
had been, of necessity, a quiet one,
only their own party and a few of
their American friends being present,
for the ocean -liner, then lying in the
harbor,but which in a few hours was
to bear them homeward, would carry
also the bodies of the Mainwaring bro-
thers and of Ralph Mainwaring to
their last resting place.
.fere, amid the very surroundings
where It was written, Harold Mainwar-
ing had Just read to his wife his fath-
er's letter, penned a few hours be-
fore his death, For a few Moments
neither spoke, then Wtnifrid said
brokenly, through fast falling tears,—
"How he loved you, Harold."
"Yes," he replied, sadly; and
what would I not give for one hour
in which to assure him of my love. 1
would gladly have endured any suffer-
ing for his sake, but in the few monm-
•ents that we stood face to face we met
as strangers, and 1 have had no oppor-
tunity to show hien my appreciation of
his love or any love for him in return,"
"Don't think he does not know it,"
she said, earnestly, "I believe that he
now knows, your love for him far
store perfectly than you know his."
He kissed her tenderly, then draw-
ing from his pocket a memora» dukn-
book took therefrom 1 piece of blotter
memories far too bitter!"
"Yes," Harold replied, gravely, "It
is darkened by crime and stained with
innocent blood. The only bright
feature to rcedeem it," lie added with
a smile, "is the memory of the love I
found there, but that," and he drew
her closely within his own, "I take
with me to - England, to my father's
home and mine.'
Together they left the majestic arch-
ed portals, and going down the oak -
lined avenue, through the dim twilight
of the great boughs interlocked above
their heads, passed on, out into the
sunlight, with never a fear for shad-
ows that might come; each strong and
confident in the love that united them
"for better for worse, for richer for
poorer, in sickness and in health, , . , .
till death us do part."
