O'Day pressed a but- ton. * * * * It was early the following after- noon that Mary Lowell, not back long from luncheon, looked up to find be- side her desk a stockily built young man with a pug nose, carefully parted hair and an engaging smile. "Miss Lowell?" "Yes "I--er--" he stammered and looked down at his hat, which he was crush- ing in his hands in his embarrass- ment. His fat cheeks turned a rosy red. "My name is Barry Colvin. I wanted to talk to you about something 'm- portant. First," and he lifted his eyes to meet hers, "I hope you won't throw me out before I finish." His mouth widened in a grin as he spoke. "Sit down, Mr. Colvin." Mary in- dicated a chair, and smiled, for there was something about Barry Colvin's manner that was hard te resist, a con- tagion in his smile, a downright friendliness, even, that in any other person might be considered impu- dence. , "First of all," he began, placing his hat on her desk, "let me repeat that I want to finish before you throw me out." He grinned again. "No, I'm not an insurance agent, and I'm rot going to try to sell you a lot or an automobile. And I'm not a biz silk stocking man from the east." "Good heavens!" she cried in mock horror, "Then you must be a book agent." "Wrong again," he laughed. "I'm a alesman, but not the ordinary kind. I'm what you'd call a specialist." "No," she said, "You're a lawyer. I saw you when you were in here yesterday." His eyes were suddenly serious as they sought hers. "I'm also a friend of Jimmy Rand," he remarked. Then, at the quick, inquiring look and the troubled frown that his words produced, he threw up his hands, simulating despair, "There youn are, I knew it. You're getting ready to throw me out now for butting in on somebody else's busi- ness. Let me talk, will you, please? I didn't come for Jim. I'm no ambas- sador. If he knew I was here he'd probably give me a good licking--and he could do it, too." Barry clasped his hands around his knee, lifting his foot several inches from the floor and gazing at it as he went on. "It's none of my business, Miss Lowell, but Jim Rand is the best friend I have in the world--and about the most stubborn individual in the world, too--" "I wish," she interrupted, "you'd say what you have to say. I don't want to appear rude, but it's difficult for me to--" » "I know," he put in. "I'm sorry. V'll get right down to the point, Miss Lowell. I'm going to tell you why Jim Rand came to Buffalo. You don' know, do you?" "No." "Well, Jim Rand came here because his father was murdered several weeks ago and a clew led him to Buffalo." "Murdered!" she gasped. "Oh!" "Yes, the most mysterious thing 1 ever heard of. I won't go into it all, because. it's a long story. We don't know who did it and we can't imagine why it was done. But poor Jim hasn't been himself, waturally, since the thing happened. "Suspicion first pointed to a certain man in this city, but he proved an alibi. Then it pointed to a girl--a girl named Olga Maynard. Jim found her in a restaurant one night while you and he were together." She was staring at him in wide- eyed amazement. "Then that was the--" she broke off. "Go ahead, Mr. Colvin." x "He met her the next night--in the Same place. At first he tried to trap her into an admission. Then, when he told her the police were looking for her on a murder charge, she fainted dead away. Jim told me that you saw that, and that you quite naturally failed to understand it. . "Now he's convinced that the girl was absolutely innocent of any con- nection with the murder. In fact; she's been helping him in his search for the suspect. "That's all, Miss Lowell. I won' | bother you any longer." Barry pick- j ed up his hat. "I just had to tell | you, because I thought you'd like to know and -that, as far as Jim was | concerned, you ought to know. He wouldn't tell you himself. He said it was too late." ne | Her hand fluttered to her throat. She blinked to hold back the tears. "It isn't," she whispered. "You were kind to tell me, Mr, Colvin." » ' * * When Barry saw Jimmy Rand that evening, he said: "Jim, I want you to remember this day. If you've got a notebook, mark the date in it. Some {ay you're going to appreciate me for what I amu great benefactor to nankind." . {To be continued.)

The rea- son is the educators' belief that the English language is so easy to learn that long training is unnecessary, whereas French requires years of drilling. : Heretofore schopl children have been allowed to ehoose the foreign language they desired to study first, with the result that in many prov- inces of Eastern and Northern Ger- many only English {is available in the early years in most schools.

I fought my way to the top, and found Scottie swimming in cir cles up there on the surface, looking | for me, with a most doleful expression on his whiskered face. Above us the woods burned brightly, and down stream the river disappear. ed in a smoke-filled tunnel of flaming trees. It was through that tunnel we must go if we were ever to get out. The air was alive with hot cinders-- and the light was so uncertain that we had nc idea whether the sun was shining or not. When the water grew shallow I waded around slippery boulders, and crawled over ledges where the swift, white currert pulled and tugged at my clothes and often swept me off my feet. It was painfully slow work for both of vs. Scottie was clutched un- der my coat and I staggered along as fast as I could. The stream narrowed, and the rock ledges on either side rose to a height of twenty feet or more. It was a re- gular gorge.

It looked for all the world a3 it some giant with an auger our way back through the gorge.

Engineers of Geodetic Survey of Canada, Department of the Interior, Had Difficult Task During the summer of 1930, the Geodetic Survey of Canada, Depart- ment of the Interior, carried out the difficult task of establishing, as. tronomically, two points on the unsur veyed section of the Ontario-Mani- toba boundary between Island lake and Hudson bay. In addition, the terminal point of this line was locat- ed astronomically on the Hudson Bay coast according to the provisions of the Act of Parliament of 1912 dealing with this provincial bound- ary. According to statute commenc- ing at the boundary between Canada and the United States, the boundary between the two provinces follows a straight line drawn due north through the northwest angle of Lake of the Woods, to the intersection of the centre of the road allowance at the 12th base line of the Dominion Land' Surveys system. The longitude of this meridian section of boandary was officially determined to be 95 deg. '09' 11".61 west of Greenwich. At the 12th base line the boundary is de- flected to the northeast and extends in a straight line to the east end of Island lake. - From Island lake the statuatory boundary is defined as a straight line extending to the point where the 89th meridian of west longitude intersects the south coast of Hudson bay. . The section of the interprovincial ' boundary from Lake of the Woods. northward to the 12th base line and thence northeasterly to Island lake had already been survayed and mark. ed on the ground. The remaining section from Island lake to Hudson bay had not been of exploration in this section of couatry little or no knowledge was available of the ter- ritory through which this line would nicest little mountain lake you ever| pass. As a preliminary step to send- | ing out engineers to survey the line on the ground and erect the neces- sary boundary monuments, it was necessary to establish by precise ob- servations, the boundary terminal on the Hudson Bay coast. When this was done the initial azimuth (true direction) at Island lake of this 280 mile line could be computer and made available for the commence- ment of the work of demarcation. As a further aid to the surveyor ens gaged in running this line, it was de- cided to photograph from aircraft a strip of country from Island lake Hudson bay following as clos2ly as possible the theoretical boundary. From the photographs it was plan- ned to plot a provisional strip map showing the main water, routes and topography of such great importance to the surveyor in planning his travel operations. Un- fortunately at the present stage of development of aerial navigation it is impossible tonavigate a machine in a straight line along a theoretical line 280 miles in length over an un- mapped area. The Geodetic Survey of Canada was therefore asked to co-operate in this undertaking and to establish two intermediate points at intervals on the thecreical .in2- as well as to locate the boundary 'ter- minal by the methods of precise, or as it is better known, geodetic as- tronomy. The surveyor conducting the subsequent aerial photographic operation would then have at his dis- posal at intervals slong the ling, known points on which to check his course. g Geodetic engineers in establishing the boundary terminal proceeded down the Nelson river in canoes and made their way southeasterly along the coast a distance of 170 miles. At the point where the 89th meridian of longitude was found to intersect the coast, the boundary terminal was established and marked permanently on the ground by the erection of a substantial concrete monument. The position of this monument, marking the most northerly limit of Ontario was made more easily identifiable: {from the air by mapping the neigh- | boring shore lines and other topo- graphical features, In the location of the tgvo inter- mediate points on the- theoretical boundary between Island lake and Hudson bay, aircraft were used for transportation. Flying Qoyer this un- mapped area, the aircraft wer? directs ed by the methods of aerial naviga- tion until a lake was found approxi- mately on the line of the theoretical boundary. Landing on the lake an astronomical observation for position then permitted a calculation to be made of the distance and direction from the observed station to the By repeated trials, us ing this method two points were es- tablished close to the theoretical line --one on Black Duck lake about 90 miles east of Gods lake and the other near Sturgeon lake shown on most maps of northern Manitoba on the upper reaches of the Shamattawa river. These points when shown on sketch maps of the local areas will serve to guide the aviators on the subsequent aerial photographical operation, preparatory to the actual work of demarcation. > It js foolish for vs to lock up tha debtor in a debtor's prison and erpect : | Fim to pay his debt.--Henry Moi gan- thau.
