Comet watched her with liquid, un- blinking eyes;as she climbed out to a boulder of red sandstone. It made a natural seat. For a long time she sat there. The sun's rays were slanting from the west. Little by litle the warmth and light were fading from her face a. gain. She jumped up abruptly. She suddenly realized how low that sun was. "Comet!". she called. ;;Come, boy, . we're going home." No answering whinny came to her call. There was no sign of the pinto. Anne stood very still for a moment, telling herself that she wasn't scar- ed. It was her own fault; she ought to have "tied him to the ground", as Petry called it. She gave an anxious glance at those slanting rays and turned quickly on her way .. . A swaying of .bushes on a lower slope caught her eye, and then in an open space there was a flash of glos- sy pieband flanks, She called with all the strength of healthy young. lungs. The pinto caught the .sound, looked back and hesitated. She was within a hundred feet of him when be frisked capriciously, broke into an easy canter and stopped at a safer distance. She could have wept with vexation., More slowly this time, Anne followed him with coaxing voice and out- stretched hand. This was' a nice game, and Comet was feeling coltish and gay, He let her come quite near and then wheeled and cantered off again. When she came to the next open space there was no sign of the pinto. She stopped and called again. There was no sound. The graceless Comet had gone light-heartedly about his own business, and she must get back to the trail and make her long way home. The trail? The thought startled her. She made a turn, blank- ly strange, and came suddenly on a wall of rock. It rose sheer, two hundred feet or more, directly in her path. She turned and looked back uncertainly, wondering where the . first wrong turning had been. 'Back of her was ,the blank wall of cliff, and ahead and on both sides stretched an endless reiteration of trees and undergrowth and rocks in bewildering confusion. There was no trail. She was lost.

Ile had been out in the Diming Junipero all day, but he knew that Petry had conveyed Martha Lar. abee in to Marston to spend the day, and the efficient Martha would not have allowed any such late returning to her own duties. Probably the old rascal had invited himself to supper at Trail's End. Barry was thinking of a shabby little ranch house in a small valley, where a girl was gallantly tackling a man's job. It was a queer occupa- tion for a girl like Anne Cushing to choose. Usually girls as pretty and dainty as Anne wanted : anything. that kept them manicured and per- manently waved. For a moment the fading sunset lights played a curious trick on him. He saw a shadowy figure in the chair opposite him, with luminous eyes and a curved mouth that smiled. at him. Ile was always thinking of Anne. And he had known her only a' few' short Weeks '.. . Steps came from. the rear, heavy and hurried, and Petry's head appear- ed. "Ain't Miss Anne here?"

L. G'. Clark, rector of Grace church, Brantford, and a form- er rector, was the special speaker. The occasion was the observance of the centenary of the founding of the church. Special music by the choir marked the services, and the solos during the morning worship, "The Lord Is My Light," and "Fear Ye Not 0 Israel," were sung beauti- fully by Squadron Commander George E. Brookes of Barrie. At the evening service Miss Ann W.iirtele was the soloist, and sang "Angels Ever Bright and Fair." The organ- ist, Mr. Bernard Munn, was in charge of the music. The church was decor- ated with lovely bouquets of summer flowers, those on the altar being plac- ed there by the family and the Sun- day school "to the glory of God and for the beauty of His sanctuary in loving memory of the late John Hen- ry ICneeshaw," who was drowned in the Bayfield Rifer in 1931.
