(Section 13) Voters* List, 1914, Municipality of the Township of Darlington, County of Durham. As Mr. David Durrant strolled along Piccadilly meditatively chewing chewing a toothpick, the tissue envelope of which had borne the name of a restaurant famous all _ over the world, he did hot look in the verj least like a man who was considering considering the manner of the expenditure of his last shilling. : His silk hat shone again, his clothes had evidently been built by an artist, his hair was glossy,, and his dark moustache sleek. In fact, he looked every inch a prosperous City man. But if you examined him, you would have noticed that he was a trifle fine-drawn for one of the breed--that he lacked that comfortable comfortable plumpness which .always goes with success in the City at the age of about forty. . , And the reason why m Mr. Daviu Durrant's case this slight excess of superfluous flesh was lacking was a sad one. ' Mr David Durrant had only a week or so before left the hospitable walls of one of his Majesty s prisons, prisons, after a stay of three years and three months. At one time there had been a mention of the term of five years; but his Majesty took into consideration consideration the fact that David had conducted conducted himself in an exemplary manner, and had decided to dispense dispense with 'his company after the expiration of the term mentioned . Now, although Mr. David Durrant Durrant agreed, on the whole, that his conviction was just, he was always huffed if any suggestion was made that he had committed crime. <( I made use of money which did not belong, to me," he would say. "Of course I did. Every business man does. That is the way business is done. Where I was wrong was in putting the cash into things which didn't turn up trumps. But how that can be called criminal I cannot- for the life of me see. Heigho ! Well, I've done the time; but I wish the punishment ended there !" For Mr. David Durrant was learning learning the bitter lesson that the prison-cell prison-cell does not constitute the only punishment which a man of the ' respectable" respectable" classes is called upon to bear, after he has been found out. People he had thought w'ere friends eyed him askance, exchanged exchanged hurried sentences, or else openly cut him. But one or two, for shame's sake, had lent him a few sovereigns to tide him over until the luck turned, and it was with the proceeds of such generosity generosity that he had just given himself the treat which he had. promised himself a thousand times in the solitude solitude of his cell--a good meal in a first-class West End restaurant.

Come along!" said David. He could see that he was being mistaken for some notability ; but it would amuse him to find out what favor the stranger was about to beg. There was a touch of grim humor in the thing. "You are affability itself," said Mr. Chalmers, as they sat over the coffee, "for so great a man, Mr. Pennfeather " "Suppose we cut that, Mr. Chalmers, Chalmers, and come to the bosses," said David quietly. "Yes, yes! Always a business man f Not much-use trying to bamboozle bamboozle you.

As he walked along he became aware that his footsteps were being dogged by an individual who had eyed him curiously a-s he had left the doors of the .Splendide. "Someone from Scotland l r ard, I expect," he reflected. "Probably recognizes me as one 1 of the criminal classes, and is keeping me in view on the off-chance of there being anything doing. The fools might know that I am not the sort of man who would crack a crib or try on the confidence trick. I haven't the lain test notion of how to go about either of these hobbies. I wish I had. I should know what to do then. As it is Well hang him ! It's my last bob that ought to be occupying my thoughts now, not Scotland Yard men. What shall I do with it?" Impulsively he made up his mind. 'Til finish the evening evening well," he said. "I'll have a good cigar!". He turnëd into a shop, and ordered ordered a shilling Ramon Alone. This famous brand had akways been his favorite smoke in the days of his prosperity, and as he emerged from the shop puffing luxuriously he felt almost happy. Scarcely had he gone half a dozen yards when" the individual he had noticed had been following him tapped him on the shoulder. "Excuse me, Mr. Pennfeather," said the stranger in an embarrassed manner. "I thought at first I was mistaken. , My sight is not what it de nee in the flotation is shaken, said Chalmers. "But I am convinced convinced that if we could persuade a man of your substance and integrity to join the board of directors, Mr. Pennfeather, confidence would be restored, and was, and* I was uncertain.

My name is Chalmers, of Chalmers, Son & Root, Capel Court. I had the honor of sitting next to you at the dinner in aid of the Business Man's Orphanage Fund. t>o you remember ?" ' 'Indeed, I do, " said David. He did not know the man ; but he had been preeent at the dinner,- and he "No,m; 'before I got- half \ reflected that he would be^ glad oi ' l : r : #„u m .

"Always a business man, Mr. Pennfeather, and even now not above turning an honest shilling. But, as a matter of fact, we are making a strong point that the directors directors are receiving no remuneration, remuneration, save .what they make out of their own holdings. Still, there are other methods by which we business men can fix such matters up.. And if I might be allowed to give so great a man what is vulgarly called a 'tip, sir,' I should say to him, 'Have a big flutter in the Passing- ton Oil Co.' " "Eh? Why their shares are down to eighteen-pence apiece !. " "True. All the more reason for buying. I happen to be a director of that concern also, and to-night, to our great surprise, we have received received a secret- report from the manager .out there that several new wells of high-grade oil have just been tapped upon the company's property. . ,, "Not a soul on this side save the directors and yourself know a word about this, Mr. Pennfeather. And for a few days the thing is going to be kept very dark,, because--because---well, because--because---well, as a matter of fact, when things began to . look bad for the company, myself and the other directors sold "most of our shares, and now we shall have to buy them back as cheaply as we can get them. "But the news is bound to leak out in a day or two, and Passing- ton Oils will be worth as many shillings shillings at least a*, they are pence; at the moment. That is a tip worth having. " ; "I will certainly bear it in mind," said the interested David. "But, as you know, this, sort of thing is hardly hardly in my line .

He could see that his big fish was nibbling at the tempting bait, and he meant to do all he could to bring it safely to land for the much respected respected firm of Chalmers, Son & Root was what is called "in it up to the neck,' so far as the Concessions were concerned, and if those pesky papers were seriously taken notice of, the consequences were likely to be disastrous for Mr. Chalmers-- not to mention Mrs. C. and several small sons and daughters. And thereupon the two fell into a highly technical discussion which it would be wearisome to read, and which the reader would- not understand understand if he went to the trouble of doing so. At the end of the half-hour's powwow, powwow, the wily David confessed himself himself convinced that the scribes who had dared to .criticize Mr. Ohal- mer's methods were woefully mistaken, mistaken, if not worse. He was, he said, favorably disposed to Mr. Chalmers' suggestion that he should join the board of directors, and thus restore the confidence of the public, and he was obliged-to Mr. Chalmers Chalmers for his tip about Passington Ods, and he would let Mr. Chalmers have his decision, if possible, on the following day Mr. Chalmers was charmed, and expressed his thanks in a fulsome manner. "And now," he concluded, will not waste any more of your valuable valuable time, sir. I repeat that I am obliged to you, and I shall hope to see you again very soon." The two rose to leave the tearoom, tearoom, Durrant leading the way. "Your check, sir,' said the lan guid-eyed waitress who had wa-itec upon them. Durrant took it, and put his hanc into his pocket. Then he took Two minutes later Durrant found himself alone oti the pavement of JPiccatiilly, the possessor of an unexpected unexpected five-pound noté, a valuable "tip," awl the stub of a Ramon Alone cigar, which he extinguished with tender care. "I wonder," he mused, as he slowly made his way along the street--"I wonder who the dickens -Pennfeather is ?" * Then he looked up to the stars •shining in their midsummer glory. ' . * ' 'Maud-- Mâud !' ' he murmured brokenly. "You who F left in grief and despair at my degradation--you who promised to wait for me, if necessary, necessary, to the end of the chapter, but whom I thought I should never be able to claim--the luck has changed, my darling. Ï can see my way to better times, my dear, and to happiness with you !" With a cash capital of five pounds, a valuable tip, and twenty years of experience in the wiles of business men, a very greàtdeal can be-done, land during the next two or three days David Durrant did it. The "tip" provéd a good one, and when, at the end of the week, David sold out of Passington Oils, and took his profit-, he found himself the posse: posse: " or of a snug little sum, which caused him the greatest satisfaction. It was not a huge fortune, but it was sufficient to enable him to pay a visit to a quiet home in Leicestershire, Leicestershire, and to defray the expenses of a very pretty wedding which took place soon after. Moreover, there was enough left after that to pay fares to a thriving town in Southern America, where David was able to convince the busies® busies® men that, although a London- bred man may make mistakes, he is not necessarily the slowest thing that ever happened.

Recent investigations- by the Conservation Conservation Commission reveal some- very- interesting facts regarding the effect of care., or neglect-, as the case may be, upon the ^life of machinery. machinery. on the farm. Between 90 and 95 farms, divided into .three districts, were visited in each ^ of the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan Saskatchewan and Alberta. In Saskatchewan, out of 94 farm ers visited by the Commission's re pre-sentative, 76 leave all of their implements out of doors. On "73 of the farms 1 there were no implement s-heds of any description. On 21 of the farms, sheds large enough to cover apart of the implements were found, in most cases this being only a buggy or a democrat, huit not bn one single farm wa® the machinery all housed. Not. one farmer was found who painted his implements to protect them from the weather. In Manitoba only 14 out of 94 keep their machinery under cover during winter, while 44 claim to keep a part of it inside. On 34 of the Manitoba Manitoba farms no provision whatever is made for protecting implements, and only four claim- to have done any painting. _ In the -three districts visited m Alberta, mixed fanning is carried on quite extensively, making more barn room available, so that implements implements are more -likely to bè protected, protected, ibut even here, 37 out of the 92 visited leave 'all machinery out- of doors. In one district in Ontario where 40 farmers were visited, every man housed his implements during winter, winter, although none of these men do any painting. In the Ontario district district visited where the implements are housed, -the average life- of the hinder -was- found- toi be between 16 and 17 years. Many binders were seen which were in good running order after cutting twenty season's crop®. * - . In Saskatchewan and Manitoba, where so much of the machinery is left out of doors, the average life of the binder is given by the farmers. farmers. as about 7 years, which -is less than half that of the binder protected protected from the weather. Many binders do not- last as long as seven years. One farmer near Moosomin, Sask., who, -after twelve years, was retiringi from, the farm, held an auction sale. His binder -after cutting cutting twelve crops sold for $80, or 50 per cent, of the original cost, and' his other machinery at proportionately proportionately high prices. It had all been well housed and' the necessary painting and repairing had been done -to keep it in -good, order. On a neighboring farm a 'binder which had cut only three crops, -but which had been neglected and had: stood out of dooms, - was being relegated to the scrap heap and a hew -one was being purchased. An implement, shed costs money, but if its use will double, or treble the length of time the- machinery will laafc, it is a good investment. Farmer§ -often say tjiat t-hev -can nqt afford to buiTda shed. The truth is, they really can hot afford 'to be without one.

The standard of their qualification s is steadily rising. . In the encouragement of this new' profession the Johns Hopkins Hopkins Hospital contributed, -powerfully. -powerfully. It opened" a training school for nurses simultaneously with the hospital itself. Tihere could hardly be a better illustration of the way -the modern world has created new callings, in proportion to its ability to sustain them, than in the rise of the trained trained nurse. In the old days the sick man was taken care of by his family family by day -and by "watchers" from the neighborhood by night. _ These were the. village blacksmith or painter, -perhaps a fraternity asso- eit-e mate. But lie was inexperienced inexperienced and poorly equipped for the work. To draft him for it was no -small imposition. But, of course, the system was economical and still prevails where the trained nurse seems an extravagance. The world wants -all -the trained nurses for its sufferers on beds of sickness that it- can -afford. We do not- need wars, and conflagrations, ,and earthquakes, and vices, in order order to "make work." In sapplyt in g the legitimate and wholesale needs -of the world, such as the proper care of the sick, we have a volume of work awaiting performance performance which will tax the resources of every civilized land for générations générations to come. ville. *9 Long Standing Asthma.
