The immediate purpose of McC'or-
dle's jaunt along the street was to I
carry out his' promise and acquire an
empty crockeryware crate to be used
as a pen for Edwyna's pet pig. "His j
step was. 'brisk. A wild hope was in
his heart, and the warm late -spring
morning invigorated him. He was 1
dwelling on Edwyna's promise to go
with him to the pictures teat night.
He had little need of another pair
of new 'shoes, but he stopped to
study a fine display in a gents' fur-
nishers window,. t,A clerk, idle for
the moment, came to the door, and
MeCordle pointed to a shoe in the
window. "That's a fine looking shoe
there," he said.
"There's •none better, 1lr, McCor-
dle." The clerk named the make—
a well-known man's shoe by a •Cana-
dian manufacturer. "Let me show
it to you."
McCordle entered the store and the.
clerk explained the sturdy construc-
tion and fine styling of the shoe. "Try
it on," he suggested.
The bachelor's .desire was thor-
oughly whetted. Entirely forgetting
Mickey's pen he allowed the clerk to
fit the shoe, and he beamed ,his
pleasure. "How much." he asked.
Ode was told the price and a deal
was made. Delighted with his pur-
chase he returned to his apartment
and tried the shoes on. Then he set
to and polished the new upper leath-
er until his arms ached. Whistling,
he placed the shoes on his dresser and
stood back to admire them.
In ,his intense pre -occupation it
was not until three o'clock in the
afternoon that MoCordle thought a-
bout having lunch. His nand was
too unsettled to prepare his own, so
he went off to a restaurant. He ate
but little.
At five o'clock he was in the bar-
ber's chair, his face hidden under a
sud pack. When the town bell tang
six, he was trembling inwardly as he
dressed for his little outing wits

Edwyna.
The girl brought him to earth as
soon as he put in an appearance at
her shop. "Oh, heIIo, Mr. IVToCordle.
Where is Mickey's pen?" she asked.
"Gosh;' he •confessed, colering
slightly, "I forgot all about it. Will
he be all right for to -night?"
"I'll put hint in the porch," Ed-
wyna decided.
McCordlo's pleasure in the girl's
company that night was intense. But
after 'the show, back, alone, in his
own apartment, a sbadoty fell across
his happy 'slay. "Nott who in thun-
der is taking her to the dinner to-
morrow night?" he asked his reflec-
tion in the mirror. and almost at
once the simple answer came to him.
"Josh Toinlcins." he inn inured,
looking into space unhappily as he
considered the prospect. "What a
chump I was not to think of that
before, Didn't she tell me that he
was in her shop this morning with
Mrs. Blainey, and: hero was I wast-
ing time planting the pig in Henry's'
shed!" The taought of his busy morn-
ing with Edwyna's pet caused him to
smile" "I guess that was the sign.
of a great mind;' he told hire elf.
Napoleon did something like that one
timewhen he marches his army up
a hill, and then marched it down a-
gain."
, The next day brought hits no idea
as to how Mr. T'onmkiee was to be
side-tracked. In fact he didn't see
Edwyna during the whole day. As
the dinner hour carte round, he
watched from: his window for Tom-
kins' appearance, but to his surprise
Edwyna left the shop alone,
fluttering over the keyboard'. He
swung round on the piano stool and
his angry glance took in Edwyna.
Prettily gowned in an orange crea-
tion, she was laughing at something
the parliamentarian had just said to
her.
Angus was annoyed at this, and
advanced towards the modiste. But
her attention could not be secured,
and he grew more unhappy, wander-
ing about, attempting to appear at
his ease, but continually glancing in
the modiste's direction. It was' a
relief to him when the guests were
asked to take their allotted places
at the table, which was laid out in
the shape of a horseshoe.
Mr.
Blainey sat at the head of the
table, and at his left sat his wife.
The guest of honor, Mr. Tomkins, sat
at Mr. Blainey's right, and next to
him, sat Edwyna. The others occu-
pied places facing inwards, on both
arms of the horseshoe table.
McCordIe was about six removed
from centre. .He studied. Edwyna's
attitude as the meal progressed, and
decided her demeanour towards the
important gentleman beside her had
a quality of forced gaiety about it.
Once he saw her lift her hand smart-
ly to the surface of the table, and
later, turn and laughingly protest to
her companion. Her reason for do-
ing so was readily divined by MbCor-
s1e. The politician had Ertvyna's
hand captive in his under the table.
This aet of deseretion was more
than Angus could bear. On the pre-
text of retrieving his serviette from
the floor, he looked Ibeneatb,the tab-
le, but his view was cut off by the
intervening expanse of tablecloth. In
getting back into sitting position he
bumped his head, and the -Ord Timer
next to him, thinking to help the
bachelor, lifted back ,iticCordle's chair
to make the business of becoming
resettled easier. IifeCerdle took up
a sitting attitude unexpectedly, how-
i,er :matva • that the chair was out

ens slashed into his roast beef ang-
rily, his face flushed. He took a
silent oath that before the night was
over he would visit a fitting ver;
geance upon the unsuspecting cabm-
net minister.
The bounteous' meal, punctuated by
a few formal remarks by several.
guests, was concluded and, honoring
an old-time custonm, the ladies re-
tired to take coffee in 'a large room.
off the balcony, leaving the men to
their cigars. Talk ran along easily.
and in a few minutes ivip. Blainey,
the chairman, rose.
"Gentlemen," he said, carefully
placing his cigar on a plate, "this
meeting together of C'anadosa okl-
tiniers affords a rare opportunity fax
reminiscences. I am going to call on
several of you fox a few words. May'
use hear from you, Mr. Smith?"
Mr. Smith was the blacksmith,, a
powerfully built 'man of middle age.
I3e. reminisced creditably and briet-
ly, and sat down. Others followed.
In turn Angus IlIcCordle was asked 14
he felt sufficiently recovered from
hiss accident with the bread roll to
stand up. McCordie rose slowly and
glared about him,
"I haven't molt to say," he declar-
ed. "If my words are few, I hope
they -will be influential."
"It is noised' about, gentlemen, that
the party in power, of which our
guest of honor is a cabinet member,
that they plan closing our gaol. It
Is to voice my distaste of this tmn-
warthy proposal that I welcome this
opportunity to say a few words. 1
hope Mr. Tomkins will leave' with a
true picture of our distressed, feel-
ings, and will toke it upon himself,
like a' true Conadosan, to do his ut-
most to forestall sueh calamitous ac-
tion on the part of hits government."
"New, gentlemen, --e —" Angus
coughed slightly; "•--athe closing 'of

This unexpected remark eventually
brought forth a burst of laughter
when it became evident that the par-
liamentarian was taking Angus' reins
iniscences in good part. Thelittle
man who had attemeted to sing about
the monkey and weasel clapped loud-
ly.

He had received Mrs. Elainey's in-
vitation to the hurriedly -arranged
Old Timers:Re-Union Dinner the pre-
vious afternoon, and had plenty of
time to getready, but Edwyna's de-
parture found him ` not yet dressed
for - the event. When he did arrive
at the Armory, he was flushed from
hurrying, and keyed up splendidly to
cope with the strained 'situation he
encountered as he entered the festive
place. In the presence of a member
of. the Federal Cabinet, even though
that august person was an old-time.
Canadosan, the guests seemed not at
their ease. It was different with the
venturesome McCordle. He stepped
forward briskly to Mr. and Mrs.
Blainey and shook hands, then ex-
tended his hand nonchalantly to the
Honorable. Josiah' Tomkins.
"How , are you, Josh'?" . he asked
with a quality of abandon' intended
to 'show how little he was impressed
with the other's claim, to greatness.
After a fele words with Mr. Tom-
kins he moved on to the piano, "Al-
right," he, commanded, "Let's get
the affair under way. He struck a
chord loudly, then': settled to a self-
imposed musical task, humming..
"Hum -tee -bee -tee -hum - tee - hunt,
the monkey chased the weasel."
But his leadership••was not inspir-
ing. Only a small man with a deep,
hoarse voice attempted to sing with
him, and he was stopped' by 'a very
athletic type of womanhood — his
wife. "Don't make a, fool of your-
self, Percy, with the I#,onorable Ma..

The 'smile faded from the lips of

slowly and deliberately, and faced
Angus. "Mr. Chairman," he stated,
"for twenty-five years I have specu-
lated as to who was guilty of that
dastardly act. And only to -night,
itlr. IVIcCordle, I learn it was you.
Verily murder will out."
McCordle stared belligerently.
"What have you got to say about it?".
he demanded.
"Only that it was a despicable
trick, perpetrated by stealth and
guile."
"I'm only sorry," Angus regretted,
"that I didn't dip the crate in tee

"And it won't do you any good tc

bachelorretorted. "I'm: ready to
fight it out with him right now if
he's willing." -
4I accept your challenge," Mr.
Tomkins fired back. It was evident
that he was shaken beyond a degree
conducive to parliamentary depart-
ment.
"No, no," gentlemen,". ilIr. Blainey
dissuaded. "Think of the, ladies."
"We can settle this withoutthem
knowing" McCordle declared.
"Sure," the little man concurred.
"They -can fight in the lane."
In spite of his efforts to appear
serious, the chairman was becoming
more and more alnu'sed at the ridi-
culous situation,'and he. grinned.
• "The suggestion of fighting it out
can't be countenanced," he ruled, look-
ing serious' again, "But you gentle-
men seen determined to obtain 'sat-
isfaction. ' Is that right, Mr. Tont-
kine?"
"Right,"' Tomkins affirmed.
"And you, Mr. McCordle?"
"Absolutely.".
For the past minute an idea had
been formulating with Mr. elIainey.
He cleared his throat. "Then, gentle -
:nen, satisfaction you will have to
have. If the guests approve, I sug-
gest that we matte our excuses to

British engineering skill is contri-

dia and the feeding of its teeming
millions. Parts of the country are
defieient .in rainfall and various irri-
gation schemes have been construct-
ed and put into operation. These ir-
.
rigation works have added nearly
47,000 square smiles to the cultivable
area of India, the average area irri-
gated being over 80,000,D00 acres.
The total percentage of cultivated ar-
ea irrigated is 12.5 per cent. Irri-
gation projects of the first magnitude
are the Sukkur Lloyd Barrage and
the Cauvery-Mettur. In the United
Provinces seven major projects• are
under construction, some of which,
