Elegant ladies of Paris whis- pered among themselves of the charm of "le bel Evans." His great skill as a dentist, coupled with his natural charm, enabled him to. cash in quickly on his chic reputation, Such were the heights to which he had risen that he could now choose to attend only the most distinguished people of the day, his greatest triumph coming when he succeeded in securing the patronage of the Empress Eugénie, - But there were signs that the Second Empire was crumbling, When the revolution finally broke and the Third Republic was proclaimed, Dr. Evans found many of his clientéle run- ning into hiding. : : The Empress, who had acted as Regent while the Emperor was at war, was faced with a frenzied mob shouting outside the Palace. A terror stricken Eugénie, heavily veiled, managed to es- " cape through a side door with a woman companion. In despair, as a last resort, she hurried to the home of Dr. Evans. When the dentist's servant came to tell him that two heavi- ly veiled ladies were at the door, he guessed their identity and rushed down to greet them. Eugénie, exhausted but dig- nified and beautiful, replied: "I have no friends left but your- self. I come as a fugitive to beg your help." Asking them to rest and eat, Dr. Evans lost no time in plan- ning their escape. Later, in his closed carriage, he conducted the two ladies to the coast, the Empress travelling as a mental patient, her .com- panion acting as nurse. - At Deauville lodgings were found for them and the hazard- ous task of finding a ship was solved when Dr. Evans, by a stroke of good fortune, found an English yacht lying at Trouville Harbour. . { The owner of the vessel, S: John Burgoyne, gallantly rose. to the occasion and gave his protection to the Empress. She was escorted safely to England, where she remained in exile. "Le bel Evans" went back to Paris. .

The seven-month-old kitten climbs atop the parrot's cage and slaps at Polly, while Polly gets into the fun with a few gentle nips at the offending kitten, Clarke This is the first day for a week without 'an early morning sub- zero temperature. Yes, it has been cold -- but we were afraid to wish for a .change in the weather in: case it might be for the worse!

While it was so intensely cold, Partner developed an acute attack of neuritis, One day we had to get someone in to help at the barn with the chores, espe- cially as a young heifer chose that day to have 'her first calf.

He also brought along some kind of stuff for my |. car that acts 'as a cleaner and conditioner for the motor, On Sunday, Dee, Arthur and Dave arrived for a short visit. Dave made good use of his legs, exploring every nook and cor- ner and going about a mile a minute. He just loves the dogs and the dogs are equally de- lighted to have him around. But we couldn't make a fuss of him . -at all, as he was far too busy to want to be bothered with his" grandparents, The pump handle in the kitchen was a great at- traction. He also thought it a good idea to squeeze his way into inaccessible places -- behind the' chesterfleld and under the coffee table and chairs. We brought out. his Christmas- present, kiddig-car, but he is still a little too small for it. So, not being able to ride it proper- ly Dave decided it was more fun to carry it around. This he did until he got tangled up in the pedals and fell over it a few times. As the weather was still very cold yesterday, they started. for home before dark, 'Just a short visit but long enough for us to keep track of our grandson's development.

We get very weary of, continual conflict, which, it would seem, should be avoid- able among civilized people. And yet there is hardly a period in history without its record of war, either on land or at sea. 'War between nations .s bad enough but, as I said before, we can be thankful civil war is a thing of the past, insofar as . English-speaking nations - are concerned. Civil wars ceased as people came to have a better understanding of the problems affecting both sides. Maybe global war will likewise cease when international . problems are more clearly understood. And. contributing towards this better understanding is the Wo- men's Institute of Canada. That one really appreciates in read- ing 'through that excellent lit- tle magazine "For Home and Country" especially in regard to International Day programmes. Many branches report addresses by New Canadians at their meetings, I do hope every W.I. member "takes time to read * Home and Country' from cover to cover. It is packed full of worthwhile information. "Here and There With the Institutes" is a chal- lenge in itself. You scan fit hastily at first, seeking the name of your own branch. If it isn't there you ask yourself why. "Could it be that our Branch was. not considered worthy of men- tion? If not, why not -- and what can we do about it?" Incidentally I wonder how many W. I, members appreciate the tremendous amount of work and expense of "Home and Country." Do you know that 46,000 copies of each issue are sentout and that the publication cost of even one issue is ap- proximately $3,000? 'And yet, for a nominal subscription sent in by each branch, every mem- ber of the W. I. is entitled to a copy of "Home and Country" free of charge. The least we can' do is glve it the careful read- ing it deserves, don't you think? 'first visit to the Hundred-Million Treasure Hunt For years men have searched, and are still searching, for the fabulous gold-mine that lies hid- den in the barren, rattlesnake- infested - Superstition Mountains of Arizona. The "Lost Dutch: man" it is called. Its existence is certain, Yet since 1805 everyone who has set out to find it has met with a violent end. The outer reaches of the Superstition Moutiaia le the walls of a mediaev. says Sims Ely in his enthralling book, "The Lost Dutchman Mine", Towering over the desert, they enclose hundreds of square miles of tortured land that was once the haunt of the predatory Apache, a country of soft pudding stone, gashed and * A carved into fantastic shapes, criss-crossed by yawning chasms, Bare of vegetation, 'almost waterless in summer, it's-a place where shadows lengthen eerily at sundown, where compass direc- tions: are undependable, where a man can easily become lost or : a prey to ambush. Such a man was Adolph Ruth, ; who ventured there alone June' of 1031, never to return. With his were found notebook jottings, including Julius Caesar's cele- brated quotation; 'Veni, vidi, .[ Vici" (I: came, -1 saw, I con-. quered). Was it a triumphant cry that he had discovered the location of the mine? It's a question--like the question of his murder--that may never be answered, the author says. The first American white man. to see gold from the "Dutchman" was almost certainly Dr. Abra- ham D, Thorne, who was forced to play a sort of "blind man's buff" for it when he was led there, blindfolded and on horse- back, by Apache braves back in 1865. He had doctored the fami- - lies of the Apaches, curing their children of eye trouble, and as a reward they took him to a place where there was "gold on the ground."*- 'There was, too. When the . Apaches removed, his blindfold Thorne found himself in a can- yon with a pile of almost pure gold at his feet. A sackful was thrown across his saddle and he was led away-blindfolded; He was never able to find his way: back. Two men who undoubtedly did know the. whereabouts of the mine were Jacob Walts and' Jacob Weiser, who were taken there in 1871 by its owner, Miguel Peralta, after they had saved his life in 'a Mexican gambling fight. The mine had been in his family since 1748, when Ferdinand VI of Spain had bestowed 3,750 miles of what is now Arizona on his grandfather for services to the Crown, plus the resounding title of Baron of the Colorados. "In the late 1860's a Mr. James A. Reavis caused a tremendous stir by laying claim to the Per- alta lands, then worth some 100 million dollars. But when his evidence--ancient Spanish docu-. ments--were scrutinized by legal experts they discovered that, held up to the light, they bore a modern watermark. As for © Mr. Reavis, he turned out to be the ex-conductor of a St. Louis horse-bus. : Their share in. gold of that ichman was worth $30,000 tC Waltz and Weiser. And, back in Mexico, Peralta told them that if they made the money over to him the mine was theirs to work. Naturally, they jumped at it. . "The ore was 80 rich you just wouldn't believe it," Waltz said later. "The nuggets of gold simply fell out when you crush- ed the rock with hammers." He described the mine as "a large pit shaped like a funnel with * the large end up." But on their second visit to the "Dutchman" deadly disaster dogged them. As they approach- ed they saw two men hammer- ing there, brown-skinned, strip- ed to the waist, Apaches, th \J You cant go!

And when he got back day late--he found to his terror that the Apaches had never forgiven myself." It weighed so heavily on his: conscience that he lost all inter- est in the mine.

His beheaded skele- ton was found some months, later, To the reader's inevitable question--Why, even 'with mod- ern resources, ig the Dutchman 30 difficult to locate?--Sims Ely. provides a convincing answer, To do so he goes back to the year. 1912 when. an ageing Indian, known as Apache Jack, revealed "how, many years earlier, when he was only a boy, a number of ~ Mexicans were working the 'mine, The Apaches always dtay- ed near the Mexican camp be- cause of the food that was hand- ed out to them . . . until one of the gold-crazy Mexicans molest- ed an Apache woman and a ter- rible running fight lasting three days ensued. Eventually most of the Mexicans were wiped-out. And it was then that, having 'seen how gold can inflame white men's minds, the Apaches de- cided to obliterate all surface signs of the mine so that it could never be found. Sr : : © The squaws worked "all one winter," Apache Jack said, shov- ing "into the hole" everything then smoothing the whole surface over until it look- "ed like the surrounding country, Sims Ely's book is a true, ex- citing adventure story that con- veys to the reader not only his own conviction that the Dutch- man Mine exists, but also that one day it will yield up its fabu- lous wealth and secrets.
