"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.

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.

The letters are being forwarded to the original addresses who it is hop- e of place. He went down with a crash, grasping the tablecloth as he fell: For an instant his bread and butter plate balanced precariously or, the table, but held, while time hard roll went over and homnced neatly of the bachelor's head. There was an immediate concentra- tion of surprised attention upon, the unfortunate man, and when he got fairly F'cate.d again, Mr. Blainey ; e'-. ularly enquired if anything could be done for his comfort. At the out. burst of laughter that followed, Ars- 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 the gaol means the closing of a place of incarceration. 'Just what consti- tutes incarceration 1121. • Tomkins knows very well, for it coames to rile mind that one Hallowe'en when our present Cabinet Nfltnise r was a lowly v y special policeman---" (at .this Mr Tana:ins, leaned forward attentively) became ah — incarcerated himself." • 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 was incarcerated," Angus_ con- tinued, "in a , willow crockery crate Toinliins here," sae commanded. tied to'the, Main; Street bridge." etrcCordle's• fingers' ceased - their A 'shado'w; of worry crowed the 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.

Tree laughter broke out again, and the lit- tle man, unrestrained, since his wife was not now present, called out harshly, "Who put him in?" Mr. Tomkins' eyes narrowed, bu his lips still smiled. IIe was watch- ing the excited little pian. "Who, put hire in?" The query was repeated, and rose above the subsiding merri- ment. eW:hy, Angus isi'cCo•rclle, of course!"

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 Calabash a couple of times." arr. Blainey was' on his feet in- stantly. "Gentlemen, gentlemen, this will never do.

"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.
