STANLEY WRENCH (Author of "Sing for the Moon" "Strange Lovers," etc). v, % : S ; : vy A A } SYNOPSIS Michael Borde, 40, nnn.orrled, born end bred in a Birmingham glum, is now a wealthy motor manufacturer wrapped up in his business, One day he feels an urge to visit the country- side around his old home and motors had there one Spring day. Chapter 2 (Continued.) 'No, I'l] poke my fingers In no more, ples," he sald. "Multi-Moters is good, enough for me. But there's a fortune for somebody." He walked on, passing a cottage he remembered, "Teas Provided" had disappeared, Everything looked very flourishing. The little orchard behind wag white with plum and damson. blossom, and 'he thought of Pershore and Evesham which he intended to visit, Spring would be lovely there. Well he must go back to the inn for hig tea, after all, Really a sen- timental whim had sent him here to find this cottage, where, years ago, looking out to the blue distances of Wales, be had sat weaving dreams. Turning to walk back to the inn, he decided to take a short cut across flelds and through the beechwoods. White violets grew here. Picking a few, he thrust them into Lis button. hole, and whistled ag he waked along. It was a long time since he had felt, £0 light-hearted. The country was . the stuff, after all. One magple fluttered down heav- fly, he halted, remembering the old saying, then as his mate followed, Michael Borde smiled, Hard-headed business man he might be, yet there was a streak of superstition in him, and. remembering the country dog- gerel, he crossed his thumbs as the magpies flew. away, "One's sorrow, two's mirth. "Three's & wedding, fora a birth" |. he' quoted, as a third 'magpie. flutter |: ed 'down, squawking 'noisily, Then, climbing a' stile he stood for a minute' looking down: 'at the old manor house in' thé valley. Exquisite survival of the Tudor pefiod, its grey stone walls and' timbéred gables 'hdd attracted him yedrs agd, he had taken'|: the trouble to read up its history, knew how it was plundered. during the Civil War, but with the Restora- tion came into its own again. Then it had seemed to bim a won- derful place; now. he gazed at it with a speculative eye. R "Um. Two hours from London; Best hunting country, too." he mused. "Might make a few enquiries." He dug his heel into tha turf. The woil showed red. It was iron-stone here for miles. Suddenly an idea leapt tn his braln, The man who lived at the Tudo Hotel probably owned the land, an farming didn't pay nowadays. Were: n't the newspapers full of the woes of the farmer? Weren't there schemes afoot in all directions to better ag. ricultural conditions, direct the labor. er back to the land instead of driv. ing him to the cities? Why even he, Michael Borde, knew a little about this. True, he had kept off things that did not directly concern him and his "work:-people;~but he-knew-quite well that a contented man does much bet: ter work, knew, too, that a stake in the business, for which he labors, gives him greater incentive, That was why he had embarked ou his hous- ""ing scheme, which enabled all the employees at his factory to live with- in easy reach of their work, that was why to eytry house was attached a bit of ground, with conditions lald down, so that every man must look after it himself. That, alzo was why every employee, from riveter to his private secretary, held shares in Mul ti-Motors. "Multi-Motors {# me. 1 am Multl- Motors," he used to say, teaming at all and sundry. "But when I'm on a darned good thing I like every- body to share in the ba-pence as well as the kick." By a cleverly worked cut scheme, the equivalent of insurance, this was achieved.

"This "Is the spot," he sald, then turned sharply, for & cry of terror reached him, It was a woman's volce, Without hesitation he sprinted across the field in direction of the sound, and on the other side of a little knoll, crowned with trees, came across two men sfruggling, At least he took them to be men at first, then realized that one of them was a girl, although dressed in breeches, She was white-faced, al- most beaten fo her knees, but was pluckily trying to defend herself from the evillooking tramp, whose hor. rible leering smile infuriated Borde. "Here--you--what's this?" he cried. "You damned gcoundrel." Bringing up his fist in sweeping motion, all the strength ot his broad shoulders {n the blow, Michael Borde struck squarely on the jaw of the tramp. There was a click like flint striking flint, and down he went, whilst the girl stepped back, her hands clasped beneath her chin. He turned to look at her. Dark. eyed, dark-haired, ' slenderly built, yet with a suggéstion of strength as well as "endurance 'about her, she walted to regain hel breath before speaking, and he saw Ler ~ white white 'throat throbbing. "Thank you," she said eimply. "It was horrible, 1 was never so fright ened before." He looked at the form of the man who lay face downwurds. "Who is he?" She shook her head. ed 'me' for money whilst I' was pen: ning up'the'chickens; then he sudden- '1y; seemed to go-mad . . . she shud: 'dered. "1 was terrified." : -Hei touched the ragged form with 'WE feet." "Get many tramps here?" he ask- ed, more to give her a chance to collect herself than anylh'ng, "He's the first I've ever seen," she replied, but he saw her shudder. The, Girl In Breeches. Michael Borde noticed {nen a num: ber of fowlhouses scattered about the field, Some were coops -with wired runs, others were houses with ladder- ed steps leading to a trapdoor. So this was a chicken farm. He looked back at the girl who, evidently, was older than he at first thought, Al. 'though slenderly built, ehp might have been any age from twenty-five to thirty. Her eyes met his now, "Is he dead?" she asked. "Not likely." Michael Borde laughed, ; 'Here you," he cried, addressing the tramp, "it you don't want to spend the night in clink you'd better get a move on. If ever I catch you within a mile of this place again I'll. give you the damnedest hiding you've ever had." } : Fri _..The tramp got up and shumbled off. "He won't come back, you bet," said Borde reassuringly. "There are not so many of then about, thank goodness, but such scum want rounding up." He looked back at the chicken houses. ] "Funny place for a tramp to come," he remarked. "Was he after eggs?" She nodded, "I've missed them two nights run- ning, and I ought to have taken warn. ing. I saw there'd been a fire here, Usually my dog comes with me for locking up, but two days ago he got a splinter in his foot, and 1've heen bathing it, and keeping him quiet." She smiled gravely at him then, "I don't know how to 'thank you enough. I've been here ten years and nothing has ever happened before," she said. "These all yours?" he asked. "Oh no.

Well, I'm blest. It is one of Old David's make," he sald, examining the first coop, with a trap- door contrivance. "How long have you had this?" he asked. "This isn't one of the modern poultry houses, surely." ¢ "No, hut it's one of the best we've struck. I've tried to get more of the same pattern, but although it's pat: ented and protected, they don't seem to be made any longer, 1 'got this and a couple more of the same kind at a country sale.

Wood must be used for scrap- ing and stirring in enamel ware, too, because metal seratches the glaze of enamel and makes dark streaks.

This expenditure was divided; one-third to be paid by the Province, one-third by the Dominion and one-thiid by the municipalities. Grants were also made for Muni- cipal Relief Works, the cost of which was paid 25 per cent. each by the Dominion and the Province and 50 per cent, by the municipalities. Two hundred and six (206) municipali- ties participated in these grants. Con- siderable Road Construction was also done in Northern Ontario for rélief purposes. In the season of 1931-32 grants were made to 190 municipalities for Relief Works, and 341 inunicipalities distributed Direct Relief. Of the a- mount expended for Relief Works, about 60 per cent. was for labour. There' was also expended $6,000,000 for the 'Trans;Canada Highway, $4, 700,000 for Northern Development Work, and $1,0005000 for' the Pro- vincial Highway made from Madoc to Perth, The Dominion.paid 50 per cent, of: the Trans-Canada Highway and 40 per cent. for Ngrthern Devel- opment Work and the Provincial Highway, Beginning May 1st, 1932, -all grants for Relief Works were aban- 'doned; both by the Province and the 'Dominion, except: some, grants maile, by the 'Dominion to.the Province:far, .camps on the 'TransCanada Highway Home Owners: Assisted: : In the surwmey, of 1932, an Advis: ory Committee, on- Direct Relief} known as the "Campbell Comniittee; ported in July, 1932, ° .
