Isabel Foi was United Empire
Loyalist stock gone to seed. Site
had married Gerald Fox, rolliniting,
handsome immigrant Irishman., and
spent the rest of her life wonder-
ing what had possessed her when
she did it. Alt .the time nothing
could have stopped her. The
thought of Gerald's social incom-
petence had no effect on her, and
she considered such things import-
ant. She was thoroughly convinc-
ed that after one week of marriage
Gerald would automatically leave
off doing the many things that
grated on her. ~ '
Isabel was inclined to remember
that her ancestors had come up
from the United States in the year
1790, but the fact that Gerald was
a blacksmith, and a penniless
blacksmith at that, made no dif-
ference.
Gerald was just as silly. Isabel
was trying to correct his manners
before they were married, but in
some vague way, known only to
lovers, he entertained the idea that
at the conclusion of the marriage
ceremony. she would leave off doing
it.
In a word, Babel and Gerald had
been caught up in a headlong ex-
perience that nothing could cure
but marriage.
And so they were married, and
the cure began.
The first step in the cure came
when they discovered that they had
nothing to say to each other. They
also found that, although the first
kiss may lift the participants up
into the heavenly blue, Vie thou-
sand end first, unless some sort of
affinity has been established In the
Meantime, may be and quite prob-
ably will be, a dud.
Gerald discovered that the most
can inept up with ie a snob with
social aspirations; Isabel discover-
ed that one might an well try to
move the Old Forest down into the
streets of Brig End .as explain to
Gerald why Mrs. Amory, the wife
of the Provincial Bank manager at
Tanner, and who talked as though
She had a pebble in her mouth,
was so •much more desirable as a
friend than Christie Abbot who had
come out from Gerald's own Coun-
ty Cork a generation before. Chris-
tie smoked a pipe, told ribald stor-
ies; her laugh could be heard from
one end of rig End Milia to the
other, and she had a. heart as big
as all outdoors.
The only thing that really suited
Isabel was Gerald's political affilia-
tions. Isabel was under the im-
pression that Conservatives were a
step ,higher on the social ladder
berms, and Gerald was dy-
e -wool Tory and a fanatioai.
supporter of the British connec-
tion, as only a. Protestant reared
in a Roman Catholic Irish county
can be. He had never read a Lib-
eral paper in his life; never at-
tended a Liberal political rally, and
firmly believed that no Liberal
could be truly loyal to his country.
Gerald's was the only blacksmith
shop for miles around, and with an
election in the offing all foresight-
ed Liberals had their horses shod,
their saws sharpened, and their
bolts welded in advance. The Fox
blacksmith shop was no place for
them when the ballots were com-
ing up.
Around election time Gerald and
Jack Freelong worked together
like a pair of scissors. Jack took
everything Gerald said for gospel
truth, and for four weeks before
an election and two weeks after-
wards practically no repair work
was done in Brig End Mills. If the
unint •esting ,person a Democrat• Conservatives won, Jack and Ger-

IN A SERIES ... YOUR HYDRO AT WORK FOR YOU AND YOURS
YOUR HYDRO
the lifeblood
of industry
Power, supplied by Ontario Hydro is the
vital factor in making the Province's in-
dustry the Colossus that it is today. The
19,913,540,926 kilowatthours of electricity
supplied to the Province in 1953 by
Ontario Hydro was equivalent to a labour
force of 88,500,000 men. Few indeed are
the industrial activities that are not
dependent on electricity and many of
today's wonder products are possible only
because of the magic of Hydro power.
More versatile than any other form of
energy, electricity supplies industry with
light, power, heat and control in a wide
range of applications. Here is another
example of ..

But if Gerald was a fool around
election time, he was anything but
a fool with 'horses. Gerald was a
wizard, a magician, with ior•ses.
All he had to do was whisper In.
the ear or breathe up the nostrils
of the wildest horse and the result
was miraculous. The rolling eyes
became softer; the prancing feet
calmed down.
"'Tis a secret of my grand-
mother's," he informed Sigmund
one day in a matter-of-fact way.
"She was kin to the Irish Gypsies
of Donegal, and 'twould be no use
giving itto anyone without gypsy
blood in them and a knack with
horses. And not one of them boys
of mine but would rather lift a
pool cue from the rack than draw
a set of lines over the back of Dan
Patch himself, I can't understand
it. 'Tis a queer thing, this heredity,
business. It must be the city blood
in their mother."
Every undesirable trait his bons
manifested that did not suit him,
and there were many, Gerald blam-
ed on Isabel's city blood.
"I wonder who they take after,"
was good fee -an argument any day
in the Fox household.
This was a speculation often in-
dulged in by the people of the vil-
lage, especially as regards the
third boy, Harry, Harry was Isa-
bel's favorite, and everyone knew
it, including Harry. He was sup-
posed to resemble Isabel's brother
Clayton, who was a Big Shot in
Ottawa. A large picture of Clay-
ton, dressed in evening clothes and
carrying a top hat:,,p;400d on the
Fox piano. It gave 'tone to the
place.
Once every two or three years a
big Hudson car drove up to the
Fox blacksmith shop and the Big
Shot got out, shook hands heartily
with Gerald and anyone else who
happened to be in it; remarked
that these little places were the
backbone of the country if they
only knew it, and that no one
knew what was going to happen
when the last_blacksmith passed
Isabel How were and the boys?
Fine boys! Fine boys! Would do
something for them one gf these
days. Blood was thicker than wa-
ter. Was just on his way to the
house now. Yes, he could stay for
supper, but must away right after.

Harry had been raised on the
idea that some day his Uncle Clay-
ton would. do • something for him.
Consequently, Harry's efforts at do -

Unele ClaYtoa to do something for
them and struck oat to do tonne -
thing for themselves. Tim was in
the Sudbury district, workiug-hayd
in one of the nickel minee.,_.strlving
his money and investing every cent
of it in mining share. which he
hoped would return him at least a
thousand percent. lie had three
hundred shares in Strike It melt,
which he had bought at seven_ and
ops -half cents a share when the
stock first came on the market.
This was, Tim sometimes thought
morosely, about seven cents a
share more than it wog worth. His
five hundred shares of Sky Limit
were no better. Worse, in fact. "I
might just as well have taken that
fifty bucks and gone on .a good
binge." Tim looked loog'iagly at
Teck Hughes, Noranda, Hollinger
and the owners of shares in these
bonanzas. Some people had all the
luck.
