LOOKS LIKE BIG YEAR
AT WESTERN, FAIR
Last-minute reports from W. D,
Jackson, secretary, of Western- Pair
London, Ontario, indicate that this
year at Western Ontario's own exhi-
bition is going to set some new re•
`cords.
Despite the fact that on account of
the new automobile models not being
released until October the manufac-
turers in that industry are unable to
exhibit, space has been snapped up
quickly and there is more room avail-
able for agricultural exhibits which,
after all, are of greater interest to
rural people.
The Night Horse' Show as usual
will be held on the first four nights
of the Fair, starting with Monday,
'September 14th. This feature, shown
in the new Ontario arena, has proved
to be one of the most popular ever in-
troduced, And "Standing Room Only"
is usually the order of the evening.
With six days Harness Horse rac-
ing and with many attractive Agri-
cultural andindustrial exhibits in
addition to the hundreds of other.
sports .of interest about the spacious.
grounds, this year's Western Fair
will be well worth a day or two of
,anyone's time. It ie fully expected
that the great crowds of last season,
ntunbering a -total of 150,000 paid ad-
amissions, will be exceeded in this, the
Recovery Year.

SYNOPSIS
Allen Garth is preparing to make
P g
a trip to a"mine which he' has discov-
ered in the Canadian Northwest.when
an aeroplane appears at the little re-
fueling; station and an elderly man,
a young ,man and a young woman
alight.
The two men who are looking for
mining prospects, become much in-
terested in some specimens of ore
shown them by Garth. ,They. are all
rather haughty, especially •'the girl,
and treat Garth like a servant, but
he 'shows his independence and clow
a't allow .himself'to be ordered about.
They decide to take Garth in their
aeroplane to inspect his, mine and if
it turns out to be worth working' to
take a leas- for a year and give hint
sixty percent. of the output.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
Haxby angled on down as -if to
plunge into the silvery sparkling rip-
ples of the lake. The monoplane
swooped above the upper shore and
drove on towards the foot of the
lake at full speed.' Garth signed for
the pilot to circle and take to the
vater coming back,
As. if angered by the interference
of his guide, Huxby 'clipped until the
pontoons skinned the surface. They
were already far down the four -mile
length of the lake. At the last mo-
ntent the engineer must have glimp-
sed the rocks ahead. The plaice
zoomed clear and banked to curve ov-
er the north enol of the lake. Here
Was the outlet -a millrace that whirl-
ed through a cut in an ancient ter-
minal moraine, plunged over a fall,]
and foamed white down' a rapid.
The monoplane banked on around
the gorge of the outlet stream; It
Swept back up the lake. This time
Haxby gave heed to Garth's signals.
He waited , until . they neared the
head of the sparkling sheet of water.
Garth pointed to the intake from the,
glacier stream, and signed for a des-
cent.
The plane nosed down so steeply
`bat the pontoons went under. For-
tunately the craft was almost fool i
proof. She bobbed up without plan-
ing to the bottom. • Huxby taxied
shoreward against the curmeat from
the stream and the thrust of the
:town -gulch breeze.
"I71 swing you up on the wing,!"
He knelt above her on the cabin
roof and 'reached down, Her .lips
curled in 'a contemptuous smile.
"If that's the best yon`. can do, I'll
stay right here. I've no wish to
bathingin 'this suit."
"In that case, get out of the way.
Yens father wishes to seo'my pros-
pect. I'll not waste time building a
needless gangway."
She was the heiress to millions and
had been reared in prodigal luxury.
Never had she been treated so caval-
icrly as by this buckskin -clad , pro

The girl looked -both surprised and
angered. She drew back into the
cabin; Her father thrust out;his head.

"Won't it be more than you can
manage? I weigh over -two hundred."
For reply, Garth reached down.
The portly millionaire lacked both
strength and agility. Ile hung in
Garth's grasp almost like a 'dead
weight. Yet Garth swung him bed-
fly up and around on the wing,.
He led the limping gentleman out
to the far end, near the tip, and low:

ledge. Before he Could follow, Miss
Ramill called out to him: "Cone back

You did not drop Dad."
Garth looked up the gulch, smiled,
and went to swing the girl out of the
window. Up on the wing she clutch-
ed his shoulder as if to steady her.

in a patronizing smile.
"You're wonderfully strong"
"More knack titan muscle."
"Both! It was simply marvelous
how you lifted Dad without losing
your balance. Oh, my mosquito 'net.
Will I need it?"

Garth stood rap to pilot the pilot.
A clump of spruces stood a few yards
in from the water -smoothed' ledge' on
Ilse right bank of the•stream mouth. e
Huxby obeyed the signal to shut off
the motor. As the propeller ceased s
to spin the plane glided in between c
the banks of the outrushing stream. cl

Garth- ran out on the right wing, e
From the overhang he leaped down
on the shelf ledge and bounded along
it to the nearest spruee. The plane a

starting to drift backwards in the
swift outsw]rl of the stream,' f
The line tautened its Garth whipped s
it around the tree thank. Not hav- n
ing enough slack to tie a bowline g
knot, he bent on the rope -end in a d
stay hitch, To make doubly safe, he w
used the last foot for a pair of half!
hitches. He knew what would hap-
pen if the plane should drift free with o:
no pilot aboard, Ila
Snubbed fast, 'the monoplane swung t
to the near bank and lay with the
right-hand float snug against. the L•r
polished waterline of the ledge. Hux d

off, to peer down the glassy slope of g

There'll be no need of fenders. daring t

The engineer pilot shoved his gog- m
gles up on the front of his helmet.
"How's; that? 'Picked; out,' you say.
Been around airplanes, have you?" hi
"I know how rough stone' will
chafe a. boat," Garth replied. "Your
floats are a kind of canoe. • Can you
get Mr. Ramill ashore by way of the
wing? His daughter will of course
prefer to stay aboard,"
- "She will not," Huxby differed, Ile
glanced up the gulch, :hon at the
muskeg swamps across the west and
oast corners of, the lake. "It's bet-
ter than over on the Mackenzie; n0

"This glacier• breeze keeps :them

most of the time."
Miss Ramill called fren the, cabin:
"Why didn't you pick a decent land-
ing place, Vivian ? We never • can

Garth vaulted upon the wing and
walked in aping it, to the fuselage,%
The gild leaned front the big rear

ed to• a sports suit that would have
been very chic on a golf course. She

you, old dear, Now, if you'll fetch

this delightful -looking milky water."
"The dying would be more apt to
ollow your drink," Garth'repiied, He
wung clown beside her father. "Your
rills is rock -flour ground off by the
lacier. It's apt to be a dangerous
rink. There's clear water • where
e're going,"
: He. banded the headnets to their
oVIM'S, caught up his rifle,' and set
f£ aslant the easy upslope from the
ke shore. The others followed of-"
er him, picking 'their way between
the scraggy branches of, the spruce
ees. Before long the trees dwarfed
own into timberline scrub.
Above the belt of matted ever.,
reens and arctic birch came the tun-
-a slope that ran up to the terrace
n the west -side mountain. The open
round: was a vast green, . Oriental
g of grass and mosses, . spangled'
vith countless numbers of alpine
owers. These for the most part were
assed in patterns of separate colors
—red, blue, yellow, lilac, white.
Garth glanced around to see how
is companions were taking this ex-
panse of beauty. Huxby stared past
him, frith an eager glint in his hard
eyes. Several paces to the rear, Mr.
Ramill had halted his Pimping; wheez-
ing climb to sit down on a' tuft of
grass. He was taking off his low
shoes to shake out bits of stone and
dead twigs.
Miss Ramill stooped to pick, not
one of the tiny flower -jewels, ,but an
equally bright -colored berry. She
Crunched it between her teeth, only to
spew it out and ,utter a stsong'term
of disgust,

"Wh tt an..ocicl-colored stone!" She
tinned to stere resentfully at the des
solute grandeur of the moutons a-
cross the valley, "Did yon ever see
such a horrible place? lt',s almost
as batt as those assn -heap mountains
is the Mohave Desert. Come along,
Dad. Don't keep us here forever.
This raw hole makes int sick"
Her father finished knotting his
lion, ties and heaved unsteadily to his
lent, - He spoke iraiitably: "You
wouldn't listen' when I advised yon to
remain , at Edmonton, Why didn't
you stay in the cabin, instead of 'fol-
lowing ilio ashore?"
"Oh, Lune off," she `'complained,
"It's quite enough tofve dragged my-
self out on .this God -forsaken dirt
pile. Even the berries are sour, I'm
going back. There ought to be '' a
.dance program on somewhere, Only
thing, can Vivian get ane up into the
cabin?"
She -looked expectantly at Garth.
The simile she gave him jerked the
attention of her fiance away from
the purpose that had brought, them
ashore.
"111, swing you aboard easy e-
nough, .Lilith,'"he said. "No fool risk
of letting you, fall 00 that slick stone
slope into the creek. A line across
from the .opposite wing will make
that impossible.—Go on, chief. I'll
overtake you :before- Garth gets' you
to his mine."
He turned ,about with the girl, to
head back for the plane. Garth spoke
to hiin withofit a trace of amusement:
"If you ask me, I ,think this little
walk to the mine would be, good exer-
cise for Miss Ramill, • -When I 'left
here, last month, there was a she -
grizzly with two cubs back along the
lake shore. They may have gone, off;
maybe hot. That pistol of yours,
wouldn't be of much use if you hap-
pened to blunder between the old
lady and her young ones."
"Grizzily? A bear!" exclaimed the
girl. "Balt! You can't scare mo.
You're trying to fictionize the seen -
cry."
Garth pointed to a moundof bare
earth downslope. "There's where she
dugout a mouse nest. Take a look.
Her paw prints will still show."
"Yon saw the beast, yet did not
kill lea'," scoffed Huxby, "Pretty
thin!"
"Not at: all; she was quite fat. It
happened, though, I had no need of
meat or bear skins. Also, she was
as willing as I was to live and Jet
live, just so I kept away from. ber
cubs." ,
Mr. Ramill started to overtake
him. "Lead ahead, Garth. I carne
here to see your prospect; not to tall:
about shooting"
Garth 'went on, up aslant the tun-
dra, When he carate ' to where the
smooth slope dropped into a shallow
trough, a backward glance showed
the girl and Euxby loitering along be-
hind her father. The portly million-
aire came panting up beside Garth.
He looped down the length of the
hollow to tate broad belt of trees that
bordered the lake; then up at the
smooth slide ledges above the head
of the trough.
"Well?" he asked.
"There's nay claim," Garth answer-
ed, "As you no doubt know, I'm en-
titled to fifteen hunched feet up and
down slope, and a thousand feet on
each side of the central lite, Those
are the measurements of a discovery
claim.t'
"My lower stake is down at that
cross dyke of gneiss, a thousand feet
or so from the lake' shore," Garth
',vent on. "The upper one stands a-
bout three hundred feet below those
slide ledges. You could stake a claim
above mine, but I doubt if you'd find
pay dirt. There is none at all be-
tween the. lower' stake and the ]al>e.
The dyke stopped the down drift of
the alloy." '
The other two chechahcos stepped
forward beside Mr. Ramill to peer
no less blankly into .the trough. The
girl' voiced their impatience: "Where's
the wonderful mine?"
Garth spoke again to her father:
"I sampled several acres. Beginning-
at
eginningat the grass roots and going down to
frost, the dirt rani .from five to ten
dollars' a pan. This trough is a• plac-
er pocket --a cache filled by the age-
long down shift` from those disinte-
grated veins up the mountain. My
claims covers all or nearly all the de-
posit, and it is worth several hnn-
Bred - thousand elbllars, if not a mil-
lion.'
CHAP'l'L'R IV.
TREACHERY
The cool certainty, of Garth's state-
ment compelled belief. Mr. Ramill
heaved in a deep breath and eased
panting. His ruddy face went blank.
His daughter looked at Garth with
a sudden change from boredom and
disdain to an interest that verged on
respect. Here was sensation some
thing new. The despised woodsy va-
gabond of the wilds was not a pau-
per, after all, Itrwas like a play, the
wandering beggar boy disclosing
himself to be the true evince: He
had said, "a million!"

successful, however, in keeping the
glint out of his eyes. Ile had yet to
make his fortune. The intensity of
his feeling forced him to speak.,
"So it's a. million?" he scoffed.
"No wonder you prospectors go cra-
zy. ,Lind a little placer you- guess

you've located a stint. Five to "ten
dollars a. pan! Why, Jack, your rec-
tal wouldn't give you half a dollar a

It was away back in 1876 that the
original Clinton High School was es
ectecl, and in January, 1877, it was
formally opened up with the late
James Turnbull, B.A., as principal;
Geo. Sheppard as 1st assistant, anti
Miss M. O'Neil as the 2nd assistant.
Mr. Turnbull had •charge, of. the
Greek, Latin, and English

Vancouver with the Western Canada
Flour Mills Co.; Sant. Ferris, who
taught in Goderich township and oth-
ers, who adopted farming as thein
vocation, were Wm. Tambiyn, Robt.
Ford, D. Most.
Amongst the lady students were:
Misses M. and L. McGaw, Nellie
Turnbull, Aggie Fair, Mary Callan-
der, Jennie Chiciley, Carrie Fisher, J.
Weir and E. Irvine.
Many of the above students ,passed
the ' Departmental Examination at
Goderich for 3rd classes and there
was no failures in July of the same
year.
A baseball club was organized in
connection with the school this sea-
son and many very interesting games
were played/ with teams from the
neighboring towns.
During this year County Model
Schools for the training of 3rd class
teachers were established by the Pro-
vincial Government under the direc-
torship of Hon. G.' W. Ross, the
Minister of Education. This move-
ment was designated to fill a long -
felt want, and one Model School was
located at Clinton, and another at
Goderich. The late D. M. Malloch
was the first principal .of Clinton
Model School. with Misses Bond and
Ferguson as assistants. There were
two sessions of the Clinton Model for
this year, the first opening in August
and the second in October. The can-

He was the revec•se of hot-headed,
There was no heat in the glitter: of
his agate eyes.
"Are you trying to be insolent?"
he asked. _
"Not at all," Garth disetaitireci.
"Merely stating. the impression I
gathered from; your .insistent belief
in my- abysmal ignorance. Just chew
on this, my checlialteo friend: A good
many sourdoughs might not be able
to identify that gray -white metal.
But only a chechahco would' be unable
to recognize that it is not galena or
silver."
This silenced the engineer for the
moment. Mr, Remit' favored Garth
with his blandest smile,
"Technicians are too apt to imagine
that the rest of us know nothing. I
told • Mr. Huxby you were not so big
a fool as you looked. Now, admittingfor the sake of the.
argument . that
your guess regarding the alloy is cor-
rect, suppose we sample your pros-
pect".
For reply, Garth lett down into the
trough to where a moss -bedded Spring
rill trickled down from pool to pool.
He stopped beside a shallow dugout,
roofed with spruce branches, moss
and dirt. Under it lay a small sho-
vel and pickax, a worn goldpan, and
a little aluminum ceolch'lg pot.
- He dipped the pot in the nearest
pool and offered it to the girl. "Here's
your drink, Miss Ramill."
"Filthy slough water!" she scoffed.
Her father, tools the pot from
Garth's sideward swung hand, He
-drank deep, and nodded to Garth as
he dropped the pot. "Fine. Just
oold etough." •
Garth, h a d 'turned t o Huxby.
"There's the pan. Get your samples
and go to it."
"Iiow do I know your holes aren't
salted?"
"You don't know anything. Why
not scratch down to gravel yourself?
Or perhaps I salted all the trough,
before I laid on this blanket of grass
and moss."

SNATCHING THE SUNBEAMS 14
WAVE you ever tried to photo-
graph sunbeams? They snake
beautiful pictures and are witness
to -your photographic skill.
Summer and autumn months are
especially good for sunbeam pie -
tures. Often when the weather is
threatening' rain or has just cleared
from a shower you will see these
bands of light streaming down from
the sky through openings in the
clouds. You see them too in coun-
try roads shaded by tall trees that
spread a canopy of leaves over the
roadway. The beams come down
through the openings in the canopy
and when the background of the
scene is dark in tome they will be
-conspicuously outlined, Again in the
city streets where there are elevat-
ed railroad structures, you often see
shafts.ot light coming down through
the trestles. Sometimes, too, they
appear lu ravines where a waterfall
gives off mist,
In erten case it means that the air
is filled with vapor or dust particles,
"the gay motes that people the sun-
beams,"
tunbeams," as a poet called them,
doubtless without thinking that it
is these metes that are chiefly re-
sponsible for making the sunbeams
visible.
01 course, for a good picture,
sunbeams need a frame or set-
ting, clouds, trees, some of the lead-
scape, objects in the city streets.
For this It is usually necessary to
expose longer than you would if the
sunbeams were not present. This
means in Most instances a time ex-
posure Ofabout one secondand a
small stop opening, although a snap-
shot may do for bands of light
sharply outlined against dark
clouds, or other -dark background.
Sometimes these light paths appear
during a summer shower, and, if pic-
tured thus, the longer exposure is
advisable.
However, to give specific iustrud-
tions for catching sunbeams on your
hint is really futile, considering the
varying light conditions under
Sunbeams of the early morning.

which they appear. The safest way
is to make several shots of the scene
at different exposures, remembering
that the experience is that in most
instances the exposure needs to be
longer than as if you were taking
the same picture without the sun-
beams. But when you have captured
these elusive . but beautiful phe-
nomena of nature in the midst of
a setting that is also beautiful, you
will have a picture that you will be
as proud of as any you have ever
taken,
