WELL DISCIPLINED Speaker at Catholic Teach ers' Convention Compares Them With Others Montreal, Que., June 4,--A com- parison between the English speak- ing Catholic boy and other lads when they began to work was made lately by A. A. Gardiner, Knight of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre, in an address at a session of the tenth annual convention of the Montreal Catholic Teachers' Associ- ation, A survey made in many business firms had bwought forth the fact that children from the Ca- thole schools in general, and the English Catholic schools in partic- ular, weré better disciplined than children from other schools, Mr. Gardiner stated. On the other hand because of the fact the Catholic lads had been brought up in an atmosphere in which everyone had the same ideas, they sometimes found it difficult te adjust them- selves when they entered a large office with many different types of persons. I'rench hoys were found to be, on the whole, more polite than the English ones, Both English and French-speak- Ing Catholics were reported hy many employers to he very good at routine jobs which they perform ed with the utmost conscientious- ness, but when asked suddenly to do something else in an emergency they frequently fell down, said Mr. Gardiner, As a result their lack of initiative was apt to keep them at the same routine job until the end of their days. Boy scouts were found: to have more self-reliance and initiative than other bogs. A point in favor of Catholic 8 was the fact that they were aMnost als ways bilingual, Employers who marked boys on a regular point system when they applied for jobs they gave them a lower rating when they came ae- companied by their mothers, Mr, Gapdiner announced. He felt this was rather hard on the hoy, hows ever, as some mothers were of the type who would not be left at home, $262,904 PAID IN OLD AGE PENSIONS British Columbia Return is Tabled in House of Commons Ottawa, June 3.--The province of British Columbia paid $202904.04 in old age pensions from the inception of the policy, last October, until the end of the fiscal year, March 31, 1928.

All the "mystery, romance and lure of the great woods is in this adventure story that keeps you "Om Tiptoe" of excitement from the first page to the last. CHAPTER I "We're Stuck!" This is a swashbuckling story of pirate days. It has as leading char- acters the Buccaneer aud his sin- ister Second in Command; the Fair Damsel in Distress; the Bright- Shining Hero and those great In- telligencies by whose caprice--or by whose ordered Law--our tiny world carries on among its millons of sister worlds, Follow and you shall see brave adventuring and distardly plots; and a fool exalted and cast down as hig little affairs were swept into the mighty on- ward-flowing currents of Fate. So up-ancher and away! At the momept our story opens the Pirate, approximately ramea Grimstead, was leaning back in the stern-sheets of his craft smoking a cheroot, He was a large, square man, with thick bushy eyebrows. Gardiner, the Second In Come. mahd, was much younger and slen- derer, with clean shaven face and an inscrutable 'eye, Neither of these men were pay- ing the slightest attention to any- thing but each other, Indeed, the man at the wheel alone seemed to be at all aware of his surroundings For the only other human being visible on the craft was the Dam- sel in Distress, and she was com- pletely occupled with her own thoughts, which seemed to be re- sentful and unpleasant, As beseemed her pogition in the story she was young and heaute- ous and as daughter to the Pirate Chief, caparisoned in costly gar- ments, The Bright-Shinlng Hero had not yet appeared, Suddenly and most unexpectedly a loyd bang sounded under the port quarter, The craft staggered. "What is it Simmins?" cried the Pirate Chief, "Are we damaged?" "Blowout, sir," replied Simmins, He walked around to the rear of the car, and uttered an exclama- ,tion of dismay, "When she blew she slid into the rut and let us down pretty hard on . one of these little stumps in the middle of the road," he answered Grimstead's inquiry, "The gaso- line's leaking." Gardiner joined the chauffeur. "It's buckled the tank," he an- nounced briefly, "We're stuck." *The gasoline 1s all run out," re- plied Gardiner calmly, "We're stipk, all right," Grim- shaw agrbed, "How far is it to help?" "Nearest garage is about twenty miles." It was agreed that Grimshaw should pick out a shadier place to wait while Simmins, after chang the tire, walked the 20 miles and_got help, Now to he considered is the] DNamsel in Distress. Her distress was heartfelt but not too serious. It consisted in the fact that she had been ravished away against her will; which is the usual and proper reason for the distress of females aboard pirate craft, At this moment she should have been listening to the dulcet strains of a jasz orchestra, or mayhap bossing about infatuated youths in any old haunt where sport clothes are correct and numerous. Instead of which she was here! Atop a stump! On a barren Call. fornia hillside of high brueh and an occesional tree! Strapded! Hot!! Uncomfortable!! No wonder the lines of her figure were unbending; no marvel that her eyebrows wer? level and that the regard below them was--sullen? Out upon you! This damsel is young and beauteous.

And none of this would have af- fected Miss Burton in the least. When her father insisted, in face of her first careless refusal, that she join him on this trip into the backwoods, she was vastly sur- prised, though not greatly put out. But when at the last minute she found that this Gardiner person was to be in the party, she saw-- and resented--it all. Burton had met Gardiner before. She did not like him; and she did not care whether he was the Sec- ond in Command of the piratical craft, part keeper of the loot. prin- cipal deviser of stratagem, or not. There would seem to be po reason why one should not like Gardiner. He is tall, slender, very dark, with ple the younger half would havs| Stewart Edward White | tling! By the time the job wis flaished Grimstead reappeared. "Found a great place!"\he an- nounced, and partly on the little "gas" in the vacuum tank and partly by gravity the big car glided "|around the corner of the mountain. CHAPTER II Enter the Mero As often happens at skylines in California, the nature of 'the coun- try there changed. Burton had seen redwood trees before, but never had she seen one of the red- wood forests of the north. The sullenness in her eyes was replac- ed by a startled and somewhat awed look. The car coasted slowly for a half mile and came to a little stream where a tiny patch of green had won for itself a tiny patch ol unobserved eky. "Stop here, Simmins,"" Grimstead commanded, and all debarked. Simmins hustled out the lunca basket and the thermos cases and proceeded to lay things out fu seemly and proper style. Simmins was an engaging per son, The natural self within him would have carried him tarough life skiptiously, like the giddy goat --but it wasn't done, you, know, He loved playing up to his part, which was solemn, eminentiy cor- rect, terrifically imposing, and he could do it in such a manner as to make sell conscious all but the most conventional, When at home Simmins became a house man, In this capacity the one fatal misfortune of his profes. sional career overtook him, Burton, unseen herself,had wit- nessed his answering of the door hell, He came down the hall cake- walking, a wonderful double shuf- fle, snapping his fingers, his head thrown back his eyes closed; bug all quite noiseless, Then he turned the door knob and instantaneously a wonderful transition took place, His elbows snapped out at an angle, and his inflexible sing-song voice declaimed {mpersonally that he could not say, madame, but that he would ascertain, O fatal day! Next time he tried to come it over Burton, as usual, he ran against a snag, | "Look here, Simmins," she sald decidedly. "I wish you'd come off the perch and be human, I like friendly looking people about me." 'Sorry, Miss," said he non-com« mitally in his best manner. I was not aware of giving offence, It is pawsibly the results of my train- ing, miss." Simmins was enjoying himself thoroughly, He knew just when to put the accents and yet avoid im. pertinence, It was his last shor. The next instant he exploded, Miss Burton had seen! | For a long time his world was in chaos, He never did quite re- cover the integrity of his attitude toward Miss Burton. It wasn't done, you knowj liked it, [After supper, Simmins most re-| Ipefantly began the long journey to the nearest garage. ! Burton brought to the camp fire a small covered hasket and res moved the contents, a Pomeranian dog, half-size even for that breed, named Punkety-Snivvies, The men surveyed the creature in silent dis- gust. Burton adoringly fed him slices of chicken and then he curled up in a small fluffy ball and went to sleep, Burton reclined on cushions, looking straight up, still within her inscrutable silence, Gardiner was clever enough to realize that this was the time for effacement, Grim- stead dozed, But now the peace of the might was broken by the approach of something metallic and loose, Three of the watchers sat up, "Can't hear any engine," puzzled Gardiner; "must be horse-drawn-- a wagon load of milk cans," But the doubt was almost Imme. diately resolved by the dancing glare of headlights through the trees, and an Instant later a small came to a stop, Enter the Bright- Shining, Hero! i The thing he rode was one of those nondescript home-made things of galvanized fron by which the youthful attempt in vain to dis- guise and render sportful a certain otherwise jokeful brand of inex- pensive car. The occupants of this craft were three. The young man at the wheel, a pleasant-faced youth, with short, light hair, and what had been a fair complexion dark-red- dened by much exposure. Behind him, seated atop a canvms-covered pack, was an Irish terrier dog. Tie third occupant was Simmins, "This gentleman picked me up, sir," said he glibly, "and I econ- ceived 'as how it would be more expeditious, sir, to come back with im."
