"Keeper of the Trees"
(By ,MRS. M. C. DOIG)
(Continued from last week)
VI
From the day at the age of
two when Karen Kelson toddled
through the connecting door /be-
tween house and store and scat-
tered
cattered a crate of .oranges to the
four corners of the room, it had

possessed for her an extraordinary
fascination. More than half her
pre-school years were spent watch-
ing her Lather wait upon custom-
ers, sort mail, package sugar; .and
when her 'mother was grading eggs
in the little dark room at the end
of the store, an upturned egg -crate
was certain to find Karen seated
upon it, her cornflower blue eyes
fixed intently, upon her mother as
she, graded the eggs with practiced
skill. Bythetime Karen was old
enough to start to school, she could
have done a very fair job herself
of grading the community's eggs.
As she grew older, SIgmund call-
ed upon ,her more and more to help
in the store, and by the time she
was fifteen she knew as much
about running it -as he did.
She liked standing on her side
of the counter, smiling at the cus-
tomers and saying:
"What can I sell you today?"
She even had fun waiting on Mrs.
Platch, and Mrs. Platch was a
thorn in the flesh to every Kelson
in Brig End Mills, and half the
storekeepers in Tanner. When

Mrs, ?latch walked into a store,
she never (had the faintest idea as
to what she Wanted. The _geed
Lord had left the power to wake
a quick decision out of ber make-
up, with the remit that it total[ her
two hours to boy enough groceries
to do herself and Herb Platch over
Sunday.
+Karen liked helping old Mr.
Travis who, they acid, ,had cancer
of the throat and could not speak,
had not spoken for over a year,
and it was whispered, would' never
speak again this side of eternity.
Mr. and Mrs. Travis were English
and not well off. Their -two SOWS
had been killed on the Somme in,
the Great War, and they had no
one In Canada to think of them.
Their living needs were figured out
to the last cent, and their diet was
monotonous to a degree. If bacon
went up twocents, it made a dif-
ference in the Travis budget. '?they
were never heard to complain.
Karen and Mr. Travis played a
game twice a week in which Karen
figured out !Mr. Travis's grocery
needs without his delivering. his
wife's written message. Some days
she would be seventyefive per cent
wrong, and she and Mr. Travis
would stand on opposite aides of.
the counter shaking their heads
mournfully at each other. But once
in a while there was a red letter
day when Karen guessed his needs
one hundred per cent, and they
would split a bottle of ginger ale.
But if Karen liked most of the
customers and exerted herself to
please them, all of the customers
liked Karen.
"You know, KeIson," said Scott
Nichol to Sigmund one boiling hot
Saturday when Karen had taken
his coal oil jug to the tiny oil
house in the backyard where the
coil oil and naphtha gas we kept,
"if you would just retire and take
that ugly phiz of yours from be-
hind the counter and leave Karen
and your wife to run the store,
your business would expand by
leaps and bounds."
Sigmund glared at him. Nichol
prided himself on speaking his
mind at all times. -
"Who wants the business to ex-
pand by leaps and bounds?" de-
manded Sigmund. "I'm carrying as
much on my books now as the traf-
fic will bear. And while we're on
the subject of business, how about
a little cash on account? I hear
you sold a batch of pigs last week.
It can't be all gone this soon."
Nichol put a reluctant hand in
his trousers pocket and brought out
a roll of bills.
"You're a hard man, Kelson," he
mourned, as he peeled off a ten-
spot.
enspot. "I only got eight dollars a
hundred for them, and there were
only six. I" didn't make a hundred
dollars, and here you are trying to
take some of it away from me."
"That's all right," retorted Sig-
mund• as he put the money in the
till and credited Nichol with the
amount in the ledger. "Your wife
sent an order to Simpson's lash
week and I notice she paid cash.
What heats me is how you fellows
who can't find any money for• me,
can find it for other people. And
if it wasn't for me, where .would
you be? Elr? Answer me that!
What would you smoke if it wasn't
for me? Bark or sawdust, or some
of that awful home -cured tobacco
that Charlie Abbot grows in his
garden—that's what ytou'd smoke!
Where'd you get your tea or coffee
if it wasn't for me? Eh?e'ood old
water is what you'd be-lirinking,
my boy. Where would you be if
you had to go away over to Tanner
every time your wife needed a
spool of thread or a package of
needles, or a pair of insoles after
you had burned yours to a crisp
in the oven when it was five below
zero? Instead of you people in Brig

THE. HURON : EXPOSITOR
Hullett Music Festival Wnners
The first and second prize win-
ners of the third annual Hullett
Music Festival presented an excel-
lent 'program in the Londesiboro
United Church Thursday evening,
April 15. Mrs. J. W. Van Egmond,
mistress of ceremonies for the eve-
ning, gave certificates to all win-
ners, and. shields were presented
to the choruses.
The previous morning, afternoon
and evening, Frank W. Holton,
A. . .M.
C C of Brantford,adjudicator
C tnl'
J
for the festival, judged 255 entries
in 16 different classes. He said the
work was on par with ,the 'best.
festivals in Ontario, and gave cred-
it to the 14 teachers and two music
supervisors, Mrs. E. Wendorf and
Miss Margaret Jackson. Mr. Hol-
ton said, for him, the highlight of
the festival was the singing of
Joanne Rapson in the girls' solo
class (11 years and under). She
received 87, the highest marks of
the festival. '
'The top award of the festival,
the Hullett Township Council
Shield, was won by S.S. 1, whose
teacher is Mrs. Ida Livingstone.
Warden W. J. Dale presented this
shield. '
S.S. 1 was also awarded three
other shields: the Hullett Town-
ship Federation Shield for unison
chorus; the Londesboro Women's
Institute Shield, for two-part chor-
us; and the Hullett Township Fed-
eration Shield for double trio. Mr.
Percy Gibbings, Mrs. Stanley Lyon
End trying to drive me out of busi-
ness by leaving my bill to the very
last, you•should be trying to keep
me here by paying me first. Be-
lieve me, I'm the greatest conven-
ience you've got, and don't you for-
get it!"
Karen had come back with th.e
coal oil and 'w'as standing beside
her father, her hands in the pock-
ets of her smock. She rolled her
blue eyes, first at Sigmund, and
then at Nichol.
"Don't pay any attention to Dad.
Mr. Nichol. He wouldn't give up
the store for anything. He'd be
like a fish out of water. Anything
else besides the coal oil?"
Part Two
Before stating her intention to
Sigmund of sending Nets to his
grandfather's for the Easter holi-
days. Janet ,had given the matter
considerable thought. She private-
ly ruled out any help in th'e matter
from Sigmund himself. What was
the streak in him that made him
so shrewd, in his judgment of all
people but his own? Like Mrs.
Tulliver, he possessed the knack of
driving his family in exactly the
opposite direction to the one in
which he wanted them to go.
Evelyn? No. Evelyn and Martin
were in the up -and -doing class.
Martin Bonner had the Ford ag-
ency in Tanner along with a flour-
ishing garage business. He was a
first-class mechanic himself and he
knew a .first-class mechanic when
he saw one. He had no patience
with the other kind. His garage
was known for thirty 'miles around
as a place where a car owner got
good service for his money. It was
definitely on the cards that Evelyn
and Martin would end up very well-
to-do, indeed. Evelyn kept the
books for the agency and the gar-
age, ran both places and her house
with machine -like efficiency, and
had simply no time left in which to
have a baby.
Nets was definitely not a
mechanic. He never would be a
mechanic. If it were Jon—but Jon
was a different kettle of fish en-
tirely. She would worry about Jon,
and his proihlems later on. ,Jon
with his mania for hockey; Jon
with his exaggerated hien of his
importance and ability; ,100 who
was as run-of-the-mill boy as Nels
was not.
Good old Dad: The very person
for Nels, made to order. He liva'd
only four n)Ies away on hi- little
farm of twelve acres, She would
see him this coming Saturday- when
he drove into town in the old rub-
ber -tired buggy to get his weeks'
supply of groceries. When her
mother had died twenty years be.
fore, Janet and the rest of the fam-
ily had exerted all the pressure
available to persuade hint to come
and settle with one or any of them
in village, apartment, duplex, or
thirty -roomed mansion. It was a
waste of breath. Colin wasn't hav-
ing any.
Colin MacKenzie wa.s a Presby-
terian by inheritance, a philosopher
by temperament, a Quaker by con-
viction, and a farmer by choice.
He often meditated on the Law of
the Universe, in which he was a,
firm believer• and the queer and
unexpected ways in which it oper-
ated. There was Janet and her at-
tractive brood, ,especially young
Nels, who would have given her
right arm to send Ted to college
and Karen to dramatic school and
all she had to go on was the
meagre profits from a general store
in a country village.
And there was Marion who had
married into a railroad with a cou-
ple of steamship lines on the side
and if Colin knew his grandsons,
David and Andrew, Marion would
never be able to get them into col-
lege, let alone through it. It was
too bad. He felt sorry for Marion.
She was kind-hearted, but far too
ambitious. She was always send-
ing him the best in out -of -season
fruits and vegetables, the best in
woollen underwear, the best in
magazines. He was, he supposed,
the only person in the whole coun-
ty with a sixteen dollar pair of
sealskin house slippers; and he
knew he was, the only person in the
township who had his place houge-
cleaned every month by the most
efficient pair of housecleaners he
had ever seen operate. They had
never actually polished the chair
he was sitting on, nor vacuumed
the bed he was lying in, but that
was because he always got out of
the house ..when they came in. I.t
was a good thing he liked' things
clean and tidy because Marion's
houseelea.ning ga.ngsters would
have made him that way in spite
of himself.
(Oentinued Next Week)
and Mr. Norman Alexander made
these presentations.
The Hullett Music Festival shield
for unison chorus from schools of
25 pupils or' less, was presented to
S.S. 2 (teacher, Miss Pat Morri-
son) by Mrs. Keith Tyndall. J
U.S.S. 12 (teacher, Miss Grace
Riley) received highest marks and
the Hullett Township Federation
shield, for two-part chorus. Mr.
Lloyd Pipe made this presentation.
'U.S.S. 12 also won the Rhythm
Band shield, which was presented
by G. G. Gardiner, Goder'ioh, in-
spector of public schools.
Mrs., Neville Forbes, of the Sum-
merhill Ladies' Club, gave their
shield to S.S. 6 (teacher, Mrs..Sim-
ons) for best double trio from
small schools.

nhymes.

moon?" she inquired.
Little Johnny spoke up: "Prob-
ably because the milkmaid had
cold fingers."
