She hurried away on her errand.
Mrs. Chaner sat still, thinking, her
capable working hands folded in idle-
ness. Her thoughts ranged back over
the years. Anne's history was simple
enough—until now. Andrew Thorne,
a tall, quiet young man had been sent
to Cartertown by eoteachers' agency
to rule over the newly created high

pink was burned to rose -red now, and Mrs. Chaner's eyes twinkled with

Chaner. "But if I could be with you --I took you when you were such a
little tike."
"Then why---"
"Now, Anne! Let's have it straight
once and for all. Just because you've
inherited this money I can't let you
dump a lot of it on me and get•my life
all out of kilter. That's what it would
amount to. You don't understand yet
about money. It does queer things to
folks."
A cloud came over Anne's bright-
ness. "That's true anyway. I can't
tell you how many people have spoken
to me—asked me if maybe I'd like to
give the town a hospital, or endow
the library, or build a new Methodist
church, or a parish house for the
Episcopalians, or give a town clock—"
"The nerve!"
"And Mrs. Devlin thought I night
like to have Lelia trained for grand
—there's no use talking though. Ade-
line can't run the house herself." She
looked at the girl with affectionate
concern. She and Anne always lin-
gered a little after the last meal of
the day, when the boarders had gone
their several ways to movies, prayer
meeting, lecture or whatever other
evening diversion Cartertown pro-
vided.
"It would be lots more fun with
you," said Anne. "Oh, Aunt Mary,
when I get thinking about it I'm al -
meet too excited to live. Ever so much
money --ever and ever so much! You
can sell the boarding house and never
do another bit of work as long as you
live.
"An idle life is a useless life," said
Mrs. Chaner sententiously. "I'd go
crazy holding my hands. However,
worrying about it, she supposed, but
she was a shrewd and sensible woman,
with only one great affection in her
life—Anne. This sweeping change
that had come to Anne's status had
.peril in it for the living maternal rela-
tion she held to the girl. She knew it,
but was helpless, A ring at the door-
bell brought an end to her meditations.
It was Louis Haynes, and directly be-
hind hint cane Anne, so Mrs. Chaner
did not need to give hum her message.
"It's so nice this evening, I thought
you'd like to drive," he said, and Mrs.
Chaner watched them as they went
down the walk and got into Louis'
shabby elderly flivver. They made a
striking couple, both tall, -both straight
and both good looking. Mrs. Chaner
shook a discouraged head at their
backs. "Louis Haynes'll never live on
any wife's money," she told the parlor:
window curtains. "Never in this
world."
They drove off together, Louis and
Anne, into the soft spring twilight.
Through the little town and out to
where the road stretched its concrete
smoothness between the rolling, pros-
perous farms of Carter County like a
path in a well -ordered, well -cared -for
garden. The orchards were in early
blossom, delicately pink and white,
bridesmaids of spring. All along the
roadside the beginning greens, still
pale, but dewy fresh, made a border
of color that allured the eye. Beyond
were the fields, some of them already
seeded, some with bared bosom wait-
ing. A fair land, quiet, tended know-
ingly, for many generations.
Louis, a little more pinched of lip
than usual, drove silently and did not
look at Anne, but she looked at him—
his tanned straight features, the ras-
cally curl of his lashes that belied the
gravity of his expression, his strong
hands, all the bigness and straight-
-fleas and brownness of him that were
so endearing. She didn't know why
she found it hard to begin. She had
meant to chatter nineteen to the dozen
when she got with Louis. She had
thought she could tell hint everything
she'd thought and felt in these four
extraordinary upside-down days. But
he seemed so restrained, so stiff—
"Aren't
"Aren't you glad, Louis?" she asked
at last. "I mean, for me."
"I don't know whether I am or not.
It's made nie feel strange --cut off
from you."
"I don't see why. Now it's no use
you looking like that, Louis. We've
got to talk this out."
"I•Iow'm I looking?"
"Like one of the silent Hayneses.
Stop it."
He laughed and so did she, and the
restraint relaxed. "I've stopped. Now
begin the oratory."
"I don't now where to begin. Some-
times I'm flying so high I can hardly
cone down, and e -ell, think ''ot
know. My gracious, '
the things I can buy, pretty clothes,
the useless kind I've always wanted
and knew it was foolish to get, and all
t e books I want, and—and every-
tlling! I've got an awful spendthrift
streak in nle, Louis, and it's certainly
been working on my imagination ever
since I knew about this money. Am I
very silly?"
"Inever think 're°so silly."
fOI, Louis, yoear.It will
be fun, won't it?"
Ile looked straight before him.
"That's just it, Anne. You've got so
much now and I've got so little. I've

do that, give me a few years. But you,
with thousands and thousands of
dollars maybe, and Lord knows what
besides in the -way of property—
where am I alongside all that? No-
where. And I know it. It puts things
out of proportion."
"But why does it? It doesn't change
nle. Why can't, you share what I've got
just as I'm going to share what you've
got?"
He shook his head violently. "Never

kind of a louse that lives on a woman's
school. He brought_with him his wife
and three -months -old daughter, and
they boarded with Mrs. Chaner. An
early epidemic of grippe caught them
both and there was the baby, left with-
out a penny for her care, without a
friend, and seemingly without a rela-
tive save for one uncle of her father,
an older Andrew Thorne, to whom
Mrs. Chaner wrote, and who replied
briefly that he would not burden him-
self with her, and she could be put in
an asylum or sent to the poorhouse
for all of him.
Mrs. Chaner tore up the letter and
took the child and brought her up
fondly and tenderly, and Anne had
grown straight and smart, helping
with the work of the boarding house,
clever at books, and for the last two
years teaching in the primary school
of the town, and "going with," as they
called it in Cartertown, Louis Haynes,

interest were made both by Sir Her -
bort Holt, president, and 0, B. Neill,
general manages,. In his. ad1drese, Sir
Herbert Bolt gave a complete review
of the outstanding features of the
growth in Canada's trade and industry
and took the view that during the past
year there haul been steady and sub-
stantial improvement in almost every
department of Canada's business life,
Discussing the necessity of the re-
ducing at all taxes, Sir Herbert said:
"What Canada needs is to follow the
example set by the 'United States in
the reduction of all taxes and in the
cost of government, so that by econo.
mks due to the efficiency of adminis-
tration we niay secure a substantial
reduction in the total burden of taxa -
teen rather than a change of incidence.

Is not without courage in facing her
economic problems, and there are in -
(Mations that a bold oo-operative
poiblcy of administrative economy on
the part of all governments would

support."

Referring to the constructive co,
operation the Bank lutd been in a poet-,
tion to give Lowarde the development

said in part:
"Since this bank,' first eomraencecl

A Birthday Gift.
As is already rather generally,
known, the University of Toronto ds
to celebrate, next October, the one
hundredth anniversary of its found-
ing. The Alumni Federation is mak-
ing plans to arrange for a birthday
gift to the University on that occa-
sion. Various suggestions of a suit
able gift have been made but the one
that so far seems to make the great-
est appeal to the graduates is that the
money be used to place a carillon of
bells in the Soldier's Tower, which'
the graduates erected a few years ago.'
The Soldiers' Tower of the Univer-
sity of Toronto is said to be the larg-'
est single memorial of the Great War
in the British Empire. It was built
with money raised by graduates and
former students of the Provincial
University of Ontario. At the time
it was built, the plan was to put a
carillon of bells in it but there was
not sufficient money for the pu}'pose.
Now it is proposed to mark the ono
hundredth anniversary of the Univer-
sity in this distinctive way, and cer-
tainly this would be a birthday gift
that would never be forgotten.
