, Jean's lonely heart woke and.
prayed before. To watch the tor-
tured baby, to hear his 'shrieks, to
see the styes roll back and the lit-
tle body contort drove her alingst
mad: all the time inside her own
heart 'a knife seemed to be turn-
fag.
urnlag.
And then came the day when,
doctors and, nurse admitted that
their diagnosis had been at fault
---thery spoke of apurioue meningitis
---anct the baby lay quiet, white
and thin, but living and at peace.
Jean, prayed as she never
went out to this child, andshe
knew at last one of humanity's
greatest forces, the love of a.
mother for her child.
Andameanwhile things were not
going well with Ivor. His trine. con-

erlese.. He was advised to dei�aY
his return to England and to Lput
himself under the oars of a loele-
braced doctor at Lausanne.
Sb it happened that Thea was
eight years old before she saw her
father again, a father who return-
ed to find no l ,nger a ,beautiful
Passionate baby,, but a long-legged,
shyl girl; lacking two belated front'
teeth.
Three years seems a lifetime to
A child, and it was• net the daddy,
of her dreams who came back to
Thea, but a thin, sallow -faced man
with grey -streaked curly hair, and
an odd stiff way of moving one leg.
Ivor was little at home at this
time. His health eased the diffi-
culties of his life to some extent,
as. it provided a sufficient pretext
for months spent in travel. The
damp, cold winter, the east winds
of spring, the river mists of aut-
umn, all served their turn, and,
each time that he bade her good-
bye, Aunt Anthea, old and frail of
body, but still .of unconquerable
soul, set herself to live until she
should see her 'boy again, so that
there might always be one ,great
love to welcome home this lonely,
striving souL
As years went by Thea grew
from a "difficult" child into a more
"difficult" ' girl.
Having recovered the shock of
her father's altered appearance.
she returned, to her old allegiance.
but her love • brought the perplexed
parent as much trouble as comfort
for Thea was continually in revolt
against authority. •
Her attitude to her mother re
mained unchanged. She had early
realized that Jean disliked, and
even• feared her, thqugh she en-
deavored to do her duty by her
daughter.
Thea was contemptuous of the
fear, while she resented the dis-
like and r;etttrLed it' heartily, At
the same time ahe< feet 4i ,pride fru
her mothee0 beauty`and quite un-
deratood, thet'there was much to
he admire in her' character.

girl lied a polita#'y fife, Or the
twits devoted to 'eac'h other, play-
ed seals ea ees together, and later
were prepared• for school by a tutor-
who 3.ivedlit the. village..
Of girls friends Thea ttad• erac-
tioatly none., for it happened that
there were no girls in, the families
of the im'Rediate neighbors, andat
the ,few parties to which she went
she was a success. The other girls
were shy of her. "Slues so odd,"
they confided to each other.
At the age of nine the twins, as.
their father had done before them,
departed to a preparatory school
for the sons of gentlemen. Their
sister did not regret their absence
for John, strong and 'large for hiss
age, tried to •bully her. He was a-
thoughtless, high-spirited boy, al-
ways noisy and bustling, teasing
the cat, making the dog bark, and
interested in nothing but sport and
games,, while Hugh was merely a
quiet, characterless •. and rather
bored replica of itis brother.
The routine of the quite country
life, planned by Jean, irritated
Thea, and her quick mind craved
food which her surroundings did
not provide. Mademoiselle Cera-
sin
erasin had long since departed to
make her way for highly instruct-
ed Fraulein Voss,. an unattractive -
looking middle-aged woman with a
yellow face, eyeglasses. and a bulg-
ing figul e.
On the whole the ,girl did net
dislike her new governess, in
whom she recognized considerable
mental capacity, if of a laborious
ordder, and an honesty of purpose
Which, tthough sometimes annoy-
ing, was certainly praiseworthy.
Fraulein, learned and anxious to
impart her learning to her pupil,
yet failed to do so. From any sub-
ject needing exactitude and eon-
centrated thought Thea shied as a
nervous horse shies at the sight of.
the whip. She had a great aptitude
for acquiring languages, but Ger-
man she decided to dislike.

fering of 33 head averaged .$258.
"It's hideous like Fraulein," she
explained to Aunt Anthea, who pH-
vately thought the same.
French and Italian Thea picked
up easily, if somewhat incorrectly.
The child was extraordinarily in-
tuitive, and endowed with a gift
for seizing upon the central .germ
of any subject. Where .the Intel-
lects of other people worked stage
by stage to reaeh a desired point,
that of Thea swooped • down, .ab-
sorbed the central idea, and con-
cerned itself not at all with proof
or argument.
"I know, I feel it," was Thea's
mental attitude, never—"I have
learned it. I have proved, it." .
The child was highly emotional,
irritable, loving and kindly at one
moment, almost cruel the next.
Music, beauty of colour, and
above all of form, stirred her deep-
ly. From a very early age she was
possessed with the desire to re-
produce form, using any medium
which might come to her hand,
such as dough, or mud, and later
a mixture called plasticine, pre-
sented to her by kind Lady Han-
over, who spent a happy absorbed
hour making roly-poly puddings
and loaves of bread, which she
arranged neatly on plates cut out
of writing paper, quite under the
impression that she was playing
with Thea.
Thea looked• on, and when to her
relief Grannie was called else-
where she took her plasticine and
used it according to her own, will.
There was a queer secretive.
streak in the girl's nature which
caused her to make mysteries
sometimes of trifles, sometimes of
her deepest desires. This love for
modelling she hid from every one.
The incident of Thea's meeting.
with Gladys Barnet made a great
impression upon her mind. Of that
other girl so strangely liked her
self she often thought, weaving
round her romantic tales which al-
ways ended in a meeting under
some extraordinary circumstances
with "the Other Me" as she chris-
tened Gladys. She thought the
more of the affair perhaps because
her fit of anger and the shock of
her plunge into the river, followed
by her silliness in leaving her
warm bed and standing in her
nightdress at the open window, re-
sulted in a chill and nervous col-
lapse. The girl became melancholy
and hysterical, and suffered from
severe headaches.
The treatment .suggested for
this state of affairs consisted in. a
visit to Worthing in company of
Fraulein Voss and a course of iron.
That for an intelligent and high-
ly neurotic girl a course of instruc-
tion in the control of her own men-
tality, an attempt to bring home
to her the importance of a high
morality, coupled with change of
scene and the society of girls of
her own age, might have had, bet-
ter results, occurred to none of
the persons concerned, and so poor
Thea fought her way on, blindly
groping for something to • satisfy
her, and suffering very keenly
from what seemed to her at times
the utter nothingness of life.
What good might have resulted
from iron and sea air was negativ-
ed by Thea's mental condition.
Her nights were made hideous by
nervous fears which left her wear-
ied and irritable to face the day,
and good, kind Fraulein Voss, snor-
ing in her room in one of the
most select of the apartinent
houses on the Esplanade, little
knew that but one wall separated
her from hell, a hell crested by
the excited imagination of her
pupil.
Old. horrors of Thea's• childhood
awoke to join the new. The sight
of some slaty -grey lobsters feebly
moving their claws as they lay in
a fisherman's basket brought back
the Words of Jane: "They puts
them in a pot of boiling water."
She heard the screams; she felt
the tortures. From one cruelty to
another her mind moved wildly.
Perhaps at home some wretched
rabbit was now writhing in a trap
and would writhe long hours be. -
fore the gamekeeper made his ex-
ecutioner's round.
Religion had made no impression
upon Thea; she disliked and re-
jected the conception of God which
her teachers put before her. In
the bravery of daylight she knew
that she dared to disbelieve in this
God, yet at night, ready to clutch
at any straw of comfort and fear-
ing that perhaps after all He might
exist, she .cried upon His name,
"Ole,. :God, don't make me think,
don't matte me think," she implor-
ed. "Let me go to sleep, and don't
let me dream these awful things."
And even while she prayed she
felt ashamed of her cowardice,
her hypocrisy in imploring by
night the help of a God whom by
day she rejected. These anguish-
ed nights made of Thea a harrow -
Ing companion for poor Fraulein
Voss, who earned her bread hard-
ly, had thought with longing of a
little fiat .in Potsdam with Its china
stove and pludb-covered suite,
meanwhile the paced, the sea -front
with her fretful charge.

Learning to Work With Copper and Brass
IN Ontario the wheels of industry turn for the benefit of every single one of
us. Our lathes, dynamos, drill presses, farm combines, tractors, business
machines, etc. are producing goods and services which earn dollars. These
dollars provide food, clothing, medical care and other necessities which con-
tribute to our security and high standard of living. Every single one of us,
therefore, has a very personal interest in the flow of a steady supply of trained
workers to industrial plants. These workers will operate machines which are
important to our way of life.
We should appreciate, then, the co-operative efforts of government, industry
and labour in the field of employee training. In schools and in factories our
workers, young and old, are given the opportunity to develop new and specific
skills in every field of business and industrial activity. For instance, every
effort on the part of workers to become proficient in the art of shaping and
moulding copper and brass, will mean greater industrial progress—will help
to make Ontario a finer place in which to live and work.
