She reached the shelter of the harbour "was scudding across the deck, and the' Hoe, high above the. harbor, loomed out of a mist. that was half rain, The port authorities came out. and. Dr. Foster went on' deck to ful- fil' his duties with them. The pas- sengers "were all 'yeady, crowded in the deckhouses and saloons, waiting for the tender that was to land them. Maud Barron stepped out into the rain and 'held out her *hand to Fos- ter, - "Doctor, why! Hive you dviided tus?" : Hi : "Lr--avoided? / Not at all. Buf? my duties, you Khow, licep me busy.

Why, had she insisted on his promise? He thought! he detected a nervousness in her. He watched the pale yellow hat. she wore as it took up a position at the stern of the tender. He saw, Mrs. Gibbs and William Hughes next to}: the yellow hat. And then .as the tender moved towards -the shore there was a swift flutter of hands, a handkerchief moved up and down, and the rain blotted. 'gut the yellow hat in the general obliteration of items. 'Dr. Foster went down to his room and stayed there. An hour or two later the 'Medi dian steamed out on her way to dry dock, which she reached next day. That same night Dr. Foster 'left Southampton by alate train for Lon- don. He began his studies the fol- lowing morning and continued them at an almost dangerous state of con- centration for a week, He ceased his research work one morning just before lunch when the maid of the boarding house handed him a tele- graph envelope. Fotser tore it open, and read: Please come to Shirley immed- intely. Need:=you" "urgently.

He! thought of Captain Swathling, and then his mind reverted to William Hughes, He wished he could ana- lyse Hughes, but he felt that he was not quite able for that at present. He must see what direction Hughes was heading, Hughes was subtle and he was 'cunning too; and masterful also. Hughes has claimed the girl, if not in words at least in deed, claimed her with a!definite finality that could not be mistaken, Had he any real right to the position of pro- tector? The answer to that could only 'be found by watching and waiting. . He was brought to the present by the taxi drawing up at the door of Shirley. ,So absorbed' had "he been in his speculations and dreams: that he' had not noticeu having swung in from the main road and through the gates of the grounds.

He said he Khew jt would never be possible to cultivate the land, and he wanted trees there for two. purposes. Tae first may seem simple -- he liked trees =-- and then he was certain the bush would be a good place for pas. turing cattle in hot weather, The trees are such as are found in ordinary woodlot, but there are a number of spruce and pine as well. The spot today Is a place of beauty. That is not all,- Last Winter he took out eight cords of wood, and the stuff he removed was surplus growth or broke ndown trees. He says it looks better now that the eight cords of wood were removed. To look at the place today one would think trees had never been femoved from it. . It is much easier to get young trees today than it used to be, and there are plenty of farms where there {s a piece of land which might well be put to growing trees, The people on the land today may not get the benefit, but the next genera- tion will, 353) "Actors are expected to say things that are impressive, And when they don't, - people are disappointed.' -- Katherine Hepburn, : - a + Lb Are You Sluggish 2 To Throw Off Energy-Stealin Impucde, color oy aw or vs es REW S| Ra Ee "Trails Plowed | | n of reminiscences | of the gla west, illustrated by his own | ~ Blend will prove a 'sheer delight to lovers of. fine tea. eo Salada Orange.

Liver-Fed Trout Make Big Seven Ounces Gains Foch In 11 Months From The Canadian nadian Fisheries Bulletin Ag 'proof of what selective breed- ing and eflicient feeding methods can do in hastening. the growth of trout, consider the case of speckled trout fingerlings raised at the fish hatchery operated by the Dominion Department of Fisheries at Antigon- sh, N,S., where they réached in 11 months as great a weight as three- year-old fish living under natural con- ditions and foraging for themselves. There were 10 fingerlings in the lot that was studied and all of them | bodies o were the progeny. of selected parents. When first put on the scales these fish bables weighed less than a pound, all told, or, to be exact, 16.2 ounces, but in slightly less than 11 months they had grown to welgh 700. ounces, which. simple arithmetic shows to have meant an average ounces each, Other studies -- "for instance, re-| gearch by fisheries bi6logista in On: |} _tario--have indicated that trout. 1y-| of seven . weight increased from 15.2 ounces to '60.5, or more than 230 per cent.; and in the next three months there was a further gain of over 300 per cent, 'and total weight rose to 223 ounces, The next séven months] brought the figures to 700 oupces. Fish raided at deparmental hat. cheries are used for stocking suitable waters, 'angling waters in some cas- es and commercial fishing areas in others, Anything which can be ac- complished toward improving fish straing 1s, therefore, of a good deal of importance.
