SCANLAN Synopsis or Preceiii,aa Chapters The principal character in the story is Kelly Pencarrow. 'Kelly Is the son of Sir Miles Pea - barrow, a lawyer whose father and mother emigrated to New Zealand and brought up a family who are now the Parents or the young people with whom the story is concerned. Sir Miles I'encarruw wished Kelly to become a lawyer and to enter his father's practice. Kelly Insists on be- coming a farmer. He joins an uncle, Michael Pencarrow, who owns Duf- field farm. .Ws uncle has a daughter, ilia, wliu falls in love with an Dnglishinan nam- ed Gentry. Elia's father offers Gentry a Ieaif-share in the Duffield Farm. This infuriates Kelly Pencarrow. He quarrels with Ueutry, assaults him and leaves Duffield to work elsewhere. Kelly received a summons to the bea- side of his dying grandmother, the mother or Sir Miles Pencarrow. Arrived at the bedside, lie is asked if he wit. apologise to Gentry alai thus give her the assurance that the family a hope of reconciliation. 13Y the Will, Kelly inherits two thousand pounds, and purchases some bush land at Tapuwai. In his second season he invites his sister Genevieve, his sailor -brother Pat, and his cousins Robin Herrick and Jessie Macdonald to come to Tapu wet. Now read on "The old Maori resents our being here He told me the day I came that this valley was Tapu, 'You will have te bad luck if you cut te tree, and burn te bush in Tapuwai';" „Why?„ "It's one of their old burying grounds." "Why don't you do a bit of excavat- ing on the quiet? You migbt find some valuable greenstone Meres buried with the old chiefs." "Yes, and get all their ancestral bones crying aloud for vengeance! I've trouble enough clearing the bush, without digging for treasure," "But you don't believe it?" press- ed Genevieve, "You don't believe it will bring you bad luck?" "No, not exactly, But a couple of the settlers do, Lately there has been quite a lot ot talk about the Curse of Tapuwat. Hughe's brother was crushed under a tree and died next day, and Fabian's wife has gone men- tal; t "Yes; but Kelly, that might hap.- pen ap.pen anywhere," "Oh, l'm not worrying," Kelly said confidently, "There are too many real problems without looking for fancy curses."

The land rose sharply behind them, rugged hills cov- ered with dense bush and heavy un- dergrowth, As everything for their fur. nishing had to be transported over the rough mountain track on pack- horse, luxuries were scarce. Each little group was dependent upon it. self for amusement and entertain- ment, and visitors were a peg on whichto hang some simple backblock festivities. The descent of the Peucarrow clan had been heralded throughout the Ta. puwai, and the arrival of so many young people held promise of a richer variety in their simple summer gai- ety. Fabian and Hughes, Belly's nearest neighbors, bad been longer in the place, Their properties met at an angle and they were combining to buxn off the felled bush, starting at a sharp spur, as soon as wind and weather were right, Kelly had work. ed bard, but the area he had cleared was much less than that on the ad- joining farms. Trees were the pioneer's natural enemy; they stood in his path and obstructed his purpose, They must be cut down and burnt, and blasted and uprooted before he could make progress or prosper. He brought in civilization with an axe, His descen. dants have not yet recovered from that influence. Cut, clear, burn :— that that was the first gospel of neces- sity, They have not yet learnt that half the beauty of England—of the world --is trees, Pat had been to England in the spring, in the summer, and the first stirring of apprehension had quick- ened when he saw the ruthless, though necessary, felling of these lovely trees at Tapuwal. As he sat in the midst of it, his mind went back to England and her trees, The forests had gone, but trees remained; individual trees, Yes, it was good to spend idle days here in summer, but what of the win- ter? Kelly was reticent about that, Pat had only Potty Barker's "A fair cow of a winter" to conjure scenes of dripping desolation. These were no leafless trees to etch their bare beauty against the cold wintry sun. The dense evergreen forest never changed, winter or summer, A few old leaves died and fell, and new growth came with the spring, In its almost jungle density, the wet moss and maidenhair fern spread a coverlet over the fallen tree and hid its decay. Taller ferns, bracken, supplejack vines, clematis, bush law- yers, manuka, thousand.jacket twined and wreathed both trunk and branch, and the dark green aisles between the trees were pungent with the odor of dampness and growth, that moist, sweet essence of the busb, All this beauty Pat would gladly concede to Tapuwal, but what of the future? Ile felt that even these firet years had left a mark on Belly, 1e' had lost his easy laughter, as if some - i Oita,•of the'etleucespd gloom around' hfiriiitiad bitten .deep- lt?to hr's sold, "How long do you mean to etay here?" Pat asked at .. last "Always ..,. or till' I can sell out." "You're not going to stay here per• manently, and make a proper home and settle down; not like Michael,at Duffield?" Kelly did not answer. Pat took a: quick look, and a tender, reminiscent smile, a little sad as for some clear dead thing, flitted across his free, "Tapuwai lsu't Duffield, but it's the best I can do. And I seem to be doing' that damned badly." , "Why don'tyou go back? Gentry is neglecting the place and leaving it all to Michael. You wouldn't knew it now." Pat tried to spur Kelly by prodding his most sensitive spot, "It's no good, Pat, I can't go back," "Not even if Michael asked you?" "He did. Look here, how would you like to sail under some cub you had trained, and in the ship you had once commanded? Put it this way, How would you like to stand by and see the thing wrecked by a fool who didn't know bis job, and didn't care?" Silence fell. Pat realized it was use- less to talk to him about It, The discussion had brought back memor- •ies of Duffield, and shattered the peace of the evening. A gloomy sadness set- tled on Kelly's spirits, Even when the riders came home, a cheery quar- tette, it was obvious that he was de- pressed. "Haven't had a row, have you?" Genevieve asked Pat anxiously. "No; just talking about Duffield. "Is that all? Funny, isn't it, but he gets quite sentimental about it?" But she was relieved, "A pity he doesn't fall in love. Then he might get over it and settle down, But you couldn't ask a girl to live here, now, could you?" "1 don't know, It's better than Grannie had to start with," said Gen- evieve, "Yes, 1 suppose it is. But somehow that was different. You don't mind that sort of life when there is noth- ing better. But this is enough to make him melancholy. Pool old Ke113'!" In the morning there was a letter from Lady Pencarrow, It came out with some stores from the post office shop near the railway station, "Wbat has Mother got to say?" ask. ed Kelly, as Genevieve turned the pages, Norah's large, round writing covered much paper, and it took many sheets to convey all the little bits of home news and the many warn- ings against dangers and indiscre- tions, wet feet and uncertain meals.

A .,cross the River Link The Friendship of Two Nations Stream Between Maine and New Brunswick Towns No Barrier to Interchange of Public Service Nor Performance of Neighborly Acts Calais, Maine, -- Internationalists seeking means of establishing friend.. ship between countries could well take a lesson from this little town and that of St. Stephen, N.B., separated only by the St, Croix River Connected by the international bridge and flying different flags, these two towns are called the most unique consular dis- tricts in the world. If a fire alarm rings at St. Ste- phens, the Calais department turns out. If the fire is in Calais, the St, Stephen department hurries across the bridge. Should a general alarm be turned in, both towns respond with all their resources. Canadian Cottons, Ltd., is in Mill- town, N.B., a part of St. Stephens, yet the Maine Register lists it as in Maine, Nevertheless, it is a Cana- dian concern, but it hires more help from the Calais side of the river than it does from its own side In fact, the mill workers hardly know whether they are laboring in the United States or Canada. The water used by both St° Stephen and Calais comes down from a spring on the Canadian side. It is piped ac- ross the International Bridge and pur- chased, sold and controlled by the Calais Water Power Company, Calais it is said, is the only city in the world that gets its water supply from a for. eig'i country. The, gas, which is controlled at Cal- ais, is used in both cities. So is the electricity which gets its power from Milltown, on the Canadian side, • At St. Stephen the Rotary Club meets weekly Monday noons; the Cal- ais Rotary at the same hour Wed.. nesday. Any member not able to at- tend his own organization can easily make up his attendance by crossing the river and attending the other meeting. In St. Stepher there is a business college which is the only one avail- able to nearby Maine. Thus is the un- usual occurrence of young Americans getting a business education in a Can- adian college who will return to the United States for their jobs, And last, but far from least, is the Calais Brass Band, It has more mu- sicians from St. Stephens than it has from Calais, and incidentally, it one of the best bands in Maine, More Poppies Sold Flower This Year Will Carry Currie Button watu for a week, 'He is staying at the Club Hotel and daily fnspeeting Toronto—While all other provinces stock with a view to making . u -„,skewed a decrease in sale. of wreaths chases,' "she read, it on Poppy Day last year, Ontario maintained its position, Archdeacon A. U. Mackintosh, chairman of the poppy committee, reported to the eighth annual convention of the Ontario command of the Canadian Legion. In addition to 303 speciai wreaths to the Ontario Government, 3,313 were sold, he said, Total distribu- tion of small poppies was 822,000, an increase of 221,000 over last yeai and the Toronto poppy fund purchas- ed 250,000, making a total increase of 471,000. "The poppy for this year is simi- lar to last year's with the exception it carries a Currie button in its centre in place of the Legion crest,” he reported. The unemployed veteran wants to earn his money, declared Brig. -Gen- eral Alex. Ross, Dominion president of the Canadian Legion, in his ad- dress to the convention. He emphasiz- ed the necessity for organization and co-operation among ex -servicemen as a means of finding employment for their jobless comrades. "Uncle Michael's after new cattle," said Kelly thoughtfully. "I wonder what he will get." He could not keep the keenness out of his voice, For the moment he forgot the burn on Tapuwai, whicb, weather permit- ting, was to start that evening, His mind was back at Duffield. Fabian anad Hugbes, who were more experienced in these things, were satisfied that conditions were right for the fire° They had had a good spell of dry weather, and there were no indications of a change, Down in the valley the noonday heat was stifling, Not a leaf stirred, and the quivering air was heavy and stagnant. Even in the dimness of the uncut bush the cool moistness had a peculiar leaden quality, Towards sunset a faint puff of wind came from the south-east, "Ah!" said Fabian, "That's good, Just enough and in the right direc- tion." But the breeze died away, and the stillness returned. Hughes was keen to start the burn at once; Kelly, rather a novice, was agreeable, and fell in with their plans. At the point on the spur where they had decided to start the fire it should sweep up Kelly's small clearing, and spread „to the larger areas that Fa- hien and Hughes had felled,. The Government which made finan. tial advantages to young settlers, as- sisted in cutting up large blocks Of land in pursuance of its policy for closer settlement. The Tapuwal Stream, though low in summer, was a deep and dangerous river In the wet season, A horse could ford it anywhere in January, except at the swimming pool. But in winter it was impossible. The previous year the settlers had obtained a grant from the Govern- ment ho build a wide arched culvert linking the two sides of the Valley. It was a stone bridge, an outcrop of rock providing cheap material, and the settlers did the work under su- pervision. In this way they got a bet ter job, or more for their money,' (To Be Continued,) Significant?

"Now It Can Be Told Editor and Publisher. A friend in Paris sends me a bit of unpublished World War history in which Elmer Roberts, the justly fam- ed Paris correspondent of A,P„ now retired, figured as a hero. It was early in the campaign and the.headquarters of , both German and French armies bad on the same day claimed in their respective official communiques that their troops had conquered Uie impor. taut Hartmannsweilerkopf height. The Germans' had broadcast to the world that the French claim was false and the French desired to have their statement confirmed by some impar, tial observer. Elmer Roberts was se. lected to make the decision.

He was finally able to see the top of the famous hill and confirm the fact that it was held by the French, the Germans grimly hanging on 15 feet down the slope, Mr. Roberts wrote only a brief and modest account of his daring exploit, but it served to revive public faith in French communiques and to give new hope to the friends of France around the world.

The Muskoka Forest During their investigations of an outbreak of the eastern hemlock Coop- er caterpillar in the region of Mus- koka Lakes in the province of On-' tario, the results of which are pub- lished in the June number of Scien. tific Agriculture, officers of the Do- minion Entomological Branch noted that the regional forest might be di- vided ivided into three main types. Oue type included old stands of hemlock, either pure or mixed to a small ex- tent with white pine • and different hardwoods, such. as the sugar maple and American elm. This type of for- est is mostly over 80 years old and has not been touched by fire but was most exposed to the recent hemlock looper attack. The undergrowth. is composed of ground hemlock and blueberries and in the very dense stands the soil is covered with needle debris only, Natural reproduction of hemlock occurs in places wirers wind- falls have brought in sufficient light, Old stands of wbite pine which cov- er mostly the south and southwest sides of the hills and the dried situ- ations represent the second type. These white pine stands are also ma- ture and apparently suffered only lit- tle from fires. Frequently the stands are mixed with hardwoods such as white and red oak yellow and white birch, Hemlock is scattered here and there only and was not attacked by the looper. The third type covers land recent-. ly burned over, It. consists of hard- woods with scattered hemlock and white pine, and seems to be the pre- paratory stage for either the first or second type. Very few old hardwood stands can be found. Birches and pop- lars begin thy process of reforesta- tion on the bare land, on account of their light seed and their ability to grow on poor soils, 1\Iaples come. next in successiou, and some oaks occur here and there. In moist. situations these young stands are mostly so dense that no other flora is able to exist beneath them. On south slopes and in dry, places, this process of na- ture reforestation meets many obstac- les, the soil being covered by blue-, berries and weeds which are strong competitors with forest reproduction.)
