RS 5 - BYNOPSIS Michael Borde. .40, unmarried, born and bred In a Birmingham slum, Is now a wealthy motor manufaclurer wrapped up in bis business. One day he feels an urge to visit the countryside around his old home and motors up there one spring day. He rescues Daphne Eden from a menacing tramp, falls In love with her and proposes. 8he accepts and frtroduces him to her father, who greets him with the words, "Get out of here, you cur. You ruined my home . - stole my wife . broke my life , . curse youl" Michael meets Mis Hamill-Hardy who insults him, but hy negotiates suc. cessfully for the old Tudor house. He tells Mrs. Gregory, Daphne's friend, of the purchase "It's another woman," " said Mrs, Gregory, watching him. *"Um, Men are curious. I should have sworn Michael Borde had never been in love before." His next question was interesting too. . "Is Miss Hamill-Hardy the only daughter?" "Yes. Both sons killed in the War," she answered, "It was that broke up Mr, Hamill-Hardy, 1 believe. [He's never been the same since. Diana was the eldest." "Diana," he remarked. ""Um, The name fits her, doesn't it? 1 met her this morning. Tried to put me in my place as the monied parvenu turning her out of house and home, Blue Blood. . , ." he laughed. "Well, 1 can't help having been born in a glum, but for all that," he paused, "for all I know, my father may have been ,one of the Hamlll-Hardy sort. You geo I don't even know who he was," he added naively, "An old man heard me crying when I was a kid, found I'd been beaten till the flesh on my shoulders was a mash of weals, and took me home with him, intending to put the Pre. vention of Cruelty to Children offi- cials on my track. Instead of that, he took care of me himself, and 1 lived with bim till I enlisted in the War. Ran a bicycle shop, sold gramo- phones, anything to turn an honest penny, as well ad "itelping hha with | bis chicken coops, then when the War gave me my chance I started a gar- age, "Gosh! how 1 worked,' he went on. "It was all in a small way at first, 1 did my own repairs, driving for hire, anything there was doing, and built it up bit by bit, till that busi ness was employing three men, Then 1 saw a chance of making a much bigger thing ot it with capital, go J advertised for a partner." Ho walted. ZOOOOOOOOODOOOIOOOOOOOOOH MNF XXX HX XIX XIII XII XX XXX RY "Worst thing I ever did in my lite," he remarked drily, "He was all right ..... but his wife wasn't, Seems like telling tales out of school, but it was a case of Potiphar's wife over again .... only more so. However--that's long enough ago and I thought I'd forgot. ten, Women have never Interested me," he added. "The whole thing was a darned niusance, but in a way it did me a good turn, for I suppose if -It hadn't been for that 1 might be running a big garage now Instead of owning Multi-Motors." Leaning hack in his ohair, he look- ed up at the ceiling, "Fate plays a man strange tricks, doesn't it?" he remarked, "Shows how much that sort of thing can count, for I'd forgotten everything about It till yesterday--never gave ft a thought. But | suppose there are skeletons in every man's cupboard, and they're likely to fall out at any moment," He remained silent. "Somehow, Michael Borde, you don't strike me as a man carrying skeletons around," she said in a low voice. "Thanks," he returned briefly, but his eyes lighted up, and she noticed afterwards he took a second helping of trifle, "Not much amiss," was her sum- ming up. "When a man eats a gond meal it's a sign there's very little wrong." When he rose to go, Michael Borde's face looked brighter too, He had been terribly excited over the house, but her shrewdness suspected gomething else behind, and by the "time he went she was sure of it, "So, you'll be in London tomorrow?" she asked. "How long will you be away?" ) : "Oh--provided everything goes smoothly I'll be back the day after tomorrow," he answered, "Daphne Has Gone Away." But he was wrong. It was a week before Michael Borde could: return, Not only were there minor compli- cations over the purchase which en- tailed not only a very large sum of money, but the transfer of privileges and rights as well as property, and In spite of his experience of hendling transactions of great importauce, frankly, Michael Borde was a little awed by the time everything was fin- ished.

Started to bawl ME out. | "All right," I said to him, "all right, 1 know you weren't speeding -- not more than forty, anyway, I'm not taking your number, go quieten down, wil you? I just wanted to speak to you, that's all." He was so surprised, he goggled at je, "Say," I egald, "are you on your fyay home?" - «1 certainly am," he replied, short. 4, "and I'm in a hurry to get there," ignificant-like, "Married?" I asked, quietly, 'None of your business," he snap- ped, "but I happen fo be," "Children?" I enquired, friendly-like, : "Two," he sald, and I noticed his eyes soften as he sald it, "And they'll be waiting for yout" I yentured again, "You bet they will be." He was al. most smiling Himself, now. "They might have had a long, long walt," 1 sald, speaking kind of slow, smiling, A PAGE FROM by IP.C.2 "What d'ye mean?" quickly. © eJust this," I eald, "I was behind you further down the road, And you didn't even slow up at yon railroad crossing, No, gir, you didn't even stop --you just went on over, and the east- bound missed you by feet. I guess it startled you, too, didn't it?" Ho Tooked away for a minute. "I didn't notice it coming," he sald at last, "It scared me, as [ heard it roar past behind me," "But there's a big sign 300 feet be. fore the crossing," I argued, "didn't you see that?" Ho nodded, "i did, officer, I did," he admitted, and then--"My kids--if I'd been hit," There was sudden terror in his eyes, Ho thrust out his hand at me, "Thanks, officer," he sald, "I seo what you mean, You've done me a better turn than you'll ever know," 1 waved him on his way, I'll bet that man won't éver pass a crossing without at least slowing down, If only people would think of the kiddies at bowie before they try to beat the Lim: he demanded, 's{| that iron-stone was melted at Aston iffe's fees, his eye ran lovingly over these words, aand old Dugdale told him many things he did not under- stand. A curious map, too, amongst the deeds of the house, gave the name "Brymingha' to the spot, indicated by a church and a pumber of houses, where Birmingham lay, and Michael Borde laid a loving finger on this, "Good old Brum," he mused, "So even then Brum was there. It goes back further than the Hamill-Hardys", Like many another man of his type, Michael Borde regarded his birthplace with sentimental veneration, although only in rare moments did he remem- ber. It was interesting, however, to discover that even in medieval times Birmingham must have been a flour. ishing town, although apparently be fore the days of Charles II. its pro- gress was slow in comparison with other places, WIth this new interest as landed proprietor, he began to delve into archives and history, and discovering that according to Hutton, the Smith's of Bromwycham supplied fmplements of war and husbandry, so in early days, Michael Borde's mind, leapt forward, He knew there was iron-stone on the land he had bought. Who could say what second fortune lay here, if not for him for the children who would follow him, There his face softened, he fidgeted, remembering Daphne. How could he have stayed away so-long, even for these solid and definite reasons? "I must go back. I must have this out with her," he thought, Suddenly he began to feel afraid, Time had gone so quickly, he had been engrossed with business and the transactions concerning the purchase of Werburge-Lucy, and with ahmcst a shock he realized it was now six days since he had proposed to Daphne. "I'l go back tomorrow," he said, "Perhaps I ought to have written." A wet west wind drove In his face as he made his way out of London, but there was a feeling of spring in the air, and in a week the hedgerows had burst into shimmering green 'in places. His mind leapt forward, They would be married in May. May was the month for love and lovers. He thought of Dassett hills, where cow- slips grew, of the Fosse Way along whose stretches gypsies camped, of the brave Feldon country, and the shady lanes where early bluebells blossomed when primroses had fad- ed, and the tall hedges were heavy with scent of may-blossom, They would not go abroad for their honeymoon, but he would show Da- phne the Cotswold country as well as leafy Warwickshire, There were 80 many places he hazily remembered which always he had meant to visit again, : No fear in his mind now. Of course Daphne would understand when she heard the truth, That brought him-to a full stop. What exactly was the truth? He frowned, Richard Eden was Daphne's father, but the woman who had been Richard Eden's wife twenty years ago could not have been Daphne's mother. That much was certain, But he flush- ed angrily, as he trled to remember what had happened in that little Midland town where he had first set up In 'business. "Pll go and see her right away," he sald when he had garaged his car. "I suppose I ougit to have written and explained why I've heen away longer than I said." But Mrs, Gregory was the type of woman who neither expects nor de- mands. She accepted his coming in as the most natural thing in the world, and metgely rang the bell to let it be known Mr, Borde would stay for supper. Her eyes met his frankly. Coming here, he had asked himself whether Daphne might not have told of her father's accusation, and it so, in what light Mrs, Gregory would regard him, Somehow, he wanted to remain right in her eyes. Her judgment would be that of a man, though, she would not use woman's standards. He was Te- assured when they met. The cool touch of her hands, the frankness of her smile told Michael Bordo that if Mrs. Gregory had heard she did not condemn. So he waited. He talked of Werburge Lucy. "Of course there are some things that'll need to be altered," he said, «] won't touch a thing in. the main room. . ." he laughed, "what I sup- pose you'd call State Apartments, but ther® are ninety rooms in the house, I find, and I reckon some of them can be modernized a bit and made really comfortable, Bedrooms, too, I don't fancy sleeping in Henry VIIL'8 bed or any of those musty old cur. tained and canopied bedsteads.I saw, There's a lot of rubbish, too, to turn out." He laughed like a schoolboy who is looking forward to a treat, "However, ¥m not going to touch a thing until Daphne and I have gone through it from cellar to attic," he cried, "After all she"s--" There he paused, for just then he saw Lorna Gregory's eyes. Something in them flashed him a warning. ' "Daphne--" he began again, and paused, «What's happened?" he asked thick- ly, "Why do you look at me like that?" Mra. Gregory leaned forward, her dark eyes soft with pity. ATA "Daphne has had a great shock," sho sald quietly, "She-~you musn't Delicious Quality 713 <4 Also in Black and Mixed He looked. at her dumbly, afraid to voice his query. ) "Her father died--the day you left," sald Mrs. Gregory. "Daphne has gone away." \ (To Be Continued.) China Trains Girl Students Drilling for Day When Mili- tary Power Will Be Used Other Than Civil War -- Girl students in smart grey unif. orms, complete with Sam Browne belts, are drilling on the -parade grounds of Chinese universities" in preparation for the day when China's military power will be used for other than civil war. They are using real rifles, and ba- yonets, and making themselves fam- iliar with machine guns and even trench mortars, At Yenching University, near Pe- kin, the young Amazons recently joined with the cadets of the oppo- site sex in an anti-aircraft defence drill one dark night, They proclaim- ed martial law on the university premises, and even kept members of the faculty indoors. A foreign lect. urer unaware that his students were playing at soldiers, left his laborat- ory during the night and was prompt: ly arrested by uniformed girls with fixed bayonets, being detained until the show was over. The students had a merry time of it. They started by lighting numer. ous bonfires to represnt fires started by bombs from the hypothetical air raiders, The idea was to extinguish the flames as fast as possible, but the night was chilly so there was some delay while the student soldiers warmed their hands. Plenty of noise was provided by giant firecrackers though neither these were supposed to represent the bombs from the air or anti-aircraft fire was not revealed by the "high command." "we At the same time "despatch riders' roared abcut the university grounds on motorcycles equipped with side- cars and machine guns and for an hour the racket was weird and won- derful, Eventually the "war" was declared a great success and the troops went to bed. Sex of Chicks To Be Known { JAPANESE METHOD OF DETER- MINING WILL BE INTRO- DUCED, Saint John, N,B.--Steps are belng taken to introduce into New Bruns- wick the Japanese method of ascer- taining the sex of the newly hatched chicks, according to A. R. Jones, man. ager of the Maritime Co-operative Egg and Poultry Exchange here. Ter- ming this method of sex determina- tion the greatest development in the poultry industry since the advent. of the big incubators, Mr, Jones sald it would be a major factor in reducing production costs in New Brunswick, as was the case in Japan and on the Pacific Coast of North America, "At the present time it is from four to six weeks after hatching before the sex of a baby chick can be told, save by the Japanese method," said Mr, Jones, "The saving which results from us- ing this method is twofold, The ma- jority of producers regard cockerels as a nuisance and an expense, taking up room they would prefer to have for pullets, In the secdnd place, pul lets, when separated' from cocktrels from the start are easier to raise and thrive better, Cockerels are a little bit stronger and' outrace the pullets to the feed troughs." - He Instanced the case of a British Columbia poultry man who found that 250 pullets, sex-deterrhined at hatch. ing and separated from the cockerels, laid from 12 to 15 per cent, more eggs all winter than 250 .pullets of the same hatch, but ynseparated. Sex- ed Leghorn -pullet chicks in British Columbig sell for about $18 per 100, while unsexed Leghorn chicks are worth $10 less, Professor A. W, Maw, head of the poultry department of Macdonald Col. lege, Quebec, will attend the provin. cial poultry field-day. at Fredericton on August 2 to demonstrate the Ja- parese method of ascertaining the sex of baby chicks, sald Mr, Jones; Later a Japanese expert, may be brought "Pertiaps some day they'll know bets ter. expect to find her here, Michael," to Now Brunswick to provide further ' instruction. . In British Columbia, Japanese ex- perts have sexed 1,500,000 chicks, The Washington Co-operative Egg and Poultry Association, largest on the continent, is selling sexed chicks to two-thirds of its customers, although it has practiced the sexing for only a year, : Japanese who are Introducing the method sometimes earn from: $90 to $100 per day. The champion, named Yogo, can determine the sex of 1,400 chicks in an hour, and his charge is from a cent to a cent and a half per chick, The method attracted little attention when explained in a paper read by a Japanese professor at the World Poultry Congress in Ottawa six years ago. "Eastern Canada has got to follow the Pacific Coast lead or be out- stripped," said Mr, Jones. "We will have to adopt the Japanese method of sexing if we are not going to lose our place in the poultry industry, which is $2,500,000 in New Brunswick alone." The Sugar Bush This year, many farmers have seen fit to sell off their sugar bushes, thus helping to obtain money They forget that there will be no steady income from the making of maple syrup, even if the price per gallon has decreased from what it formerly wad. Many a valuable woodlot has been sacrificed for what it would bring and the landscape ruined be- cauSe of this need of money, Over three-quarters of the land ar- ea of Canada is unsuitable for suc- cessful agricultural production, but much of it could be utilized for grow- ing forests, : Unregulated cutting, frequent and extensive forest fires, insects and fun- gus diseases have eliminated many 'of the more desirable species of trees in some areas. Forests are necessary for the. trade of a country and for the employment of men. They affect the climate and water upply, while the farmer obtains his fuel from the woodlot. Fish require clear, cold wa- ter such as is found in the shade of the forest; game attracts tourists but without forests where is the game to be found? Birds must have nesting places so as to enchant us with their beauty and song. They help men by planting trees and by keeping down insects. In summer, in and above the for- est, the alr is cooler than over open ground, In winter, the snow js pro- tected. from both the sun and the wind and so melts more slowly, Hence there is less danger from erosion and floods than where the trees are cut off. It behooves us as Institute mem- bers to urge our men to protect the forests and to plant new trees where the land is not suitable for agricul- ture. This article was contributed by (Mrs. R. J.)

Baking soda is an excellent cleanser. Remember that everyone needs a good mouthwash, And one with astrin. gent properties is especially fine. Not only will it keep the teeth and mouth in a cleaner condition, but will also prevent the gums .from shrinking away from the teeth, Your dentist will probably recommend a good one.
