APPENED BEFORE The Sheridan Dramatic lub, of which Tom Bilbeck, the nar- fator, 'Maryella, the girl he ares" for, and Jim Cooper, his rival, are members, start a .. performance of Pymalion and Galatea at the Old Soldier's 'Home, but are interrupted by a Aire. - Druing the rehearsals "Tom Bilbeck is accused by the husband of one of the ac- ors, Mr. Hemmingway, of be- ng in love with his wife. Riding away from the scene t the ill-fated play in their costumes and overcoats, the group of players is held up by two escaped convicts, one of "whom is captured by Bilbeck after a struggle. ~The captuured thief is tied "to a chair at the Old Soldier's "on I ---- -- § : To : as eating soft boiled eggs or bring- ing in an armful of wood. Unfortunately I am a larger man than most of the veterans, I tried '| on several pair of trousers withoft finding any that I would dare trust. We had just apout given it up as a bad job when some one suggested that Comradq Dreyenfurth was very nearly my size. Hig other pants Te comman- deered. I have mentioned I believe that Abel Dreyenfurth's west leg has peen wilfully missing since An- tietam. For that reason the Drey- enfurth trousers last twice as long as most men's. He uses the mat- erial in the extra leg to réenforce the seat. For that reason they did not give me all the protection I could have wished. They were like the first instalment of a gazing serial-- good as far as they went, but tanm- talizing. v Home. Unable to leave the home as the car refuses to budge, the players must stay there, and 'Mr. Hemingway, hearing thig over the phone, says he is coming right to the home--as he. is suspicious of his wife and Bilbeck. Mean- while the Sheriff arrives, Hemmingway arrives - just when Bilbeck ig assisting Mrs. Hemmingway, who has faint- ed, and of course thinks the worst, Meanwhile a disturb- ance Is hedrd in the cellar, and all in the potse rush down to it. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "Well, I'm juggered!" exclaimed the sherriff. "There's a lot of life In that old horse yet. I didn't sup- pose he could do that." "Is he frightened?" Mrs. Lillie- love asked. "No, He's just lonesome. He ain't used to being alone at night and I suppose he was going to look for me." The jnference was that either the sheriff slept in the stable with the horse or the horse slept In the house with the sheriff. At any rate I had an explanation of the ghostly sounds which had wakened me from my doze when I started on my. ilifated: expedition down-stalrs which had culminated in the sensa- tional mix-up with the Hemming- wave. 'While the sheriff pe others recaptured the horse d tied him to a ring in the ktone and some ot ld went back to the main floor. Wo to be alone and think. % As I came up from the basement lo the living-room, which was now fbeginning to get light with the i liret chill dawn of winter morning, | noticed 'Mr. and Mrs. Hemming- way in eager cogversauien, Appar- M ey were approaching some ton for ' peace be- :ause they were standing quite "lose together and once or twice he made as if to take her in his arms.' Far be it from me to interrupt ny reconciliation between the Hemmingways. There and there only lay my hope of retaining my job and incidentally the respect of the community. I was carefully tiptoeing across the living-foom to the door which led to the stairway, perfectly will- Ing to have my progress unnoted, when I was arrested, nay frozen in my tracks, by the piercing, voice of Pilk Heénwether cautiously sub- dued to a 'longshoreman's hail. ""Hey, Mr. Bilbeck!" he called. "I want to wdrn you. There's a feller here trying to steal your girl away from you--the pretty blond one that was 'making eyes at you last night." Mr. and Mrs. Hemmingway, who had reached the sobbing-on-shoul- der stage of their reconciliation, now. separateq suddenly as if a shell had exploded betwen them. *"So!" the husband shouted, his anger at white heat once more. "My suspicions were true after all! You made such a fool of yourself that " gverybody noticed it. And to think that you would try to lure me back by soft words! You vampire!" "My Heaven! To think I am married to you!" Mrs. Hemmingway"s eyes, usu- ally..s0, placid, blazed in response te his anger. "You needn't he any longer than it takes to get a divorce," she ex- claimed, half-hysterical with anger. "If you're going to beliéve every- thing you 'hear we might as well separate and get it over with." Comrade Henwether and I were observing the scene, he with ap- pr looks seeking to read in thelr faces what he missed in thelr speeches, and I with a chill horror of the seriousness of the breach. "1 think she likes you best after all," vouchsafed Pilk. "He's a mite bettter looking than you pe, but you've g0t a way with you that goes with the ladies, durned if you ain't." Wa Mrs. 'Hémmingway shrugged her shoulders helplessly and started trom the room. Mr. Hemmingway tollowed to the door which she i slammed_in his face. I quickly gave up my intentions of going up-stairs, which Involved passing through the living-room, and went back to the basement in- stead, convinced that safety lay in sticking to the crowd. * We went back to bed later for a "mo! g nap. When they woke me' up. pext time~~this was for break- fast--I refused to arise until I was provided with some clothes. It 'was all very well to prowl around in white tights at night when I was hunting ghosts, but it Still they were better than noth- ing, so I got up. The sun was bright and dazzling. 1 went to the window to look out What a beautiful world it wast Tosn of snow had been carelessly tossed over the map with the lavish hand of an inconceivable gisnt. In some places were graceful drifts as high as a man, and against a shed in the yard it was piled up even with the roof. It had been a tremendous storm.

It falls on streets that are shoveled clear al- most as fast os it comes down, and the little aptches that remain are almost immediately soiled with tracks and the soot of countless chimneys. But out in the opén it is different. There you can get an idea of the way the Lord intended the world to look in the winter time. : Strangely enough the lake, which lay peacefully crystallized at the foot of the hill where the Home stood, was comparatively free from snow. The wind had swept its glis- tening surface clear, and it lay a clear black blot verse. Here and there fishing shanties dotted the lake, and nedr the shore some boys were rigging an ice- boat. One of them was up on the mast threading a halvard through a pulley block. I remember when I had done that sort of thing on my first ice-poat. 4 I sighed. T could never do it again--not with my weight! - Breakfast was announced. I went down, fully but not ornamen- tally clothed. The only one of our party whe spoke to me was Jim Cooper. Mrs. Lillielove looked as if she were go- ing to, but suddenly she blushed and lowered her eyes to her plate without saying anything. "Good morning," Jim assured me cheerfully. "Isn't this a fine day?" He rubbed his hands glee- fully, as if he had done it himself and expected to he complimented for his skill. "Yes," I mumbled, hurt and puz- zled to find myself an outcast in my own circle, . Later I giscovered that Comrade Henwether had been doing a trav- ¢llogue on my prowess as a lady- killer, which had been interTapted by my arrival. Mrs. Hemmingway's eyes were red from weeping. Poor Woman, she had not had any sleep at all, T judged. Her husband sat moodily staring at his plate, but ata very little. Maryella and Mrs. Lillielove con- versed with painful animation about crochet stitches and new: fashions. i After breakfast Jim Cooper got me one side. z "Are you really in love with Mrs. Hemmingway?" he demanded, fix- ing my eye with & look that des manded an honest reply. "Are your intentions honorable?" "Of course I'm not in love with her!" I replied with bitter emphe asis. And I haven't any infen- tions."

Sweeney was arrested on the complaint of officials of the Cana- dian Pacific Railway Immigration hall. The officials declared that Sweeney had refused offers of work on farms at wages up to $46 a month and had made himself a nuisance by creating.a disturbance at the Immigration hall with a number of other men, of whom, it was charged, he was the ring-leaa- er. . Sweeney told the court he suffer- ed from malaria and was not fit to do the work offered him. He sald that the men brought out from the old country found, on arrival, that the inducements in good wages, placed before them in England, did not materialize on their arrival in Canada. The crown prosecutor and the magistrate declared they took lit- tle stock in Sweeney's story that he was unable to work, claiming he wished only to be deported to his homeland. 'It seems to me you just don't want to work," the judge declared. Seven British immigrants, in 8 signed statement, declared they suffered ill-treatment when they arrived in Canada to work on farms. They stated they were of- fered only $10 a month by some farmers, and others told them they would be paid what they were refused meals and beds at {mmigre- tion halls and classed as immi- grants. .
