If Dan paid any attention to the attempt of his new pilot to prepare him for what was waiting in Sydney, it was not apparent. He was a ghast- ly sight now. gaunt and blear-eyed, and numb with work and weariness He ate and drank mechanically when food and drink were offered to him; and seemed to sleep some- times in his seat, in spite of the roar of the engines. To all remarks addressed to him he had only one ansvs-er. ''Get on with it, son," he would say, "I happen to" be in a hurry." And so they came to Sydney aviation around, in the afternoun of a beautiful clear day kite in ♦^he Australian winter. Dan roused him- self a.s the machine circled; and his pilot, with a hand pointed down- ward, indicated a great plain blac' with people. The machine dipped al- most straightened up. and then land- ed smoothly and taxied alonp: to the .'tpot where the reception committee had planned the greeting and speech- making. "What's all this." Dan trrowled, stag.i,'eriiiK to the earth, and looking about him with open distaste. A beautiful little girl advanced, with a bouquet of .A-Ustraliari wild (lowers; and there was a crash of cheering. Dan looked about hira, and hu eye felt on one farr.iliar face. There was Slado. smiling ner- vously and waving a hand. ,A.nd; yes, next to Slade. and pi-csenting rather the appearance '^f sheltering behind him, was another familiar figure. Dan put the child and the bou- quet aside; not ungently, but pur- posefully. He brushed aside the smiling and astonished reception committee, and marched towards Slade, one hand raised \\'ith a beck- oning gesture. '•Hey, you I" Dan roared. "Come hero a minute. I want a word with you." It was a pressing invitation, and if Westerby had desired to ignore it. Slade would not let him. The mine manager gave him a push in Dan's direction ; and held out a hand in welcome. Westerby came forward, bent on makii!,"- the best of it now. He smil- ed, "Good old Dan!" he said. "What are you doing here, all die s>(! n 'i"e a hoiso?'' ;\s!:i>;l the paunt traveller. "That's all right, Dan." Westerby Risid smiling more ingratiatingly than ever. Then Dan'.- clenched fist came swiftly upwards; and there was a gasp froni the expectant throng of onlookers. DecideUly the reception was not going according to plan. Westerby received it full on the point of the chin, and fell forward. Dan pounccii upon him. snatching the collar of his coat and dragging him forward like a rubbish. "Hey. you Slade, have you got a taxi, or anything?" ''We came in a car." Slade said "But Prescott. . . ." "Shut your head!" Dan directed, waving to the car. He (lung the iiiaminate Westerby in, and motioned to Slade to follow. '"Get nie into Sydney. Pronto, do you understand?" '"T'.ie crowd watched him go in .shocked silence. -And then some quick-witted member of it sijed up the situation. He lifted up a trained voice, the voice of a barracker who had enlivened many a dull cricket match with jeers at the players. "Doy's," he cried, "IVescott did it all right; he tamed the iin'umin' bunyip." "What are they laughing at now." Dan asked as the sound of a shout of mirth was wafted to his retreat- ing motor car. "Well," said Slade, regarding the huddled figure in the seat opposite him. "You've fair ruined your bright young playmate. Presoott, to ^ay nothing of mucking up the cla.ssiest reception ever planned by the City of the lieautiful Harbour." "When did he turn up?" Dan ;iskeil. "Yesteiday, us ever was," Slade TEtL THEM THE TRUTH Among tUe many letters 1 receive, not a few of them raise a question which I may phrase thus: "Wliat shall we tel; our children?" Here id a typical example: 'â- Our daughter ia almo&t seventeen. Thera la a side to lite which slie has never seen. iShe will be through with school thia year, and some relatives have Invited her to stay with them in the city so that she may have bet- ter opportunity for advanced educa- tion. . . . Our problem is whether we should let her go and run the r'.si of exposing her to po3.sible dangers which, so far as we know, she does not even know exist". I have not quoted the letter in tuli by any means, hut 1 hare ([uoted enough to indicate what the parents from whom it came believe to be their problem. And, tiuite frankly, I am sur- prised that parents in this ag^ should feel thi3 to be a problem. After all. Is there any sound reason tor trying to veil the true facts of life from our children? It there is, I confess 1 can- not find it. There is nothing about life wbicn cannot be made known to our chil- dren, and especially when they are approaching that age at which they are perforce obliged to go out into the world and face life for themselves. Surely It is far better to warn our children about the traps, and pittalla of life than to have them go out in ignorance and fall Into some of those i»»<»>«»a»>«»««o»>» traps and pitfalls. Besides, children will get the facts about life some- where. If they do not get them in the sacred and wholesome atmosphere ot the home, they wi;i get them in tbe muddy places of life and, If we leave them to "learn things In the dark" we are exposing them to very grave dangers. U is not knowledge that leads our young people astray. It is Ignorance. Indeed, it is something even worse than Ignorance, for no youth or maid- en goes out into life wholly ignorant, but a great many do go out with only half-knowledge which amounts to dis- torted irtith about the facts ot life, and nothing is more conducive to temptation than half-knowledge. 1 have seen so much distress result- in? from this very thing that, when parents ask me ""What shall we tell our children?" I never hesitate In answering "Tell them the truth". Contrary to the opinion of a great number of well meaning parents, we do our children a distinct disservice when we try to throw a cloak of mystery around life, and to veil from them thn true facts concerning Hfe. "To be forewarned Is to be forearmed, and I feel that It Is our duty to send out our children both forewarned and forearmed. I think we should also make it clear to them that there are a great many people in the world who will not be bound by convention and who rebel against the moral sanctions ot society. We should not send them out expect- ing to meet only saints in the world. If we do, they shall be rudely await- ened and sadly disillusioned before they go very far. .4t the same time, we should be careful to point out that each has his contribiition to make to the well being of the whole, and that this contribution is" best made by ob- serving the moral sanctions of society. To put the whole thing in a nutshell, it is the duty of parents to train tbeir children for life as life must be lived in this modern world. That can only be done by telling thpm the truth.

"He told me that he was ready to make everything right with his good mate, Dan Prescott; and 1 left it at that." "He'd better be able" Dan growl- ed, "or I'll take another crack at him." 'Trescott," Slade said earnestly, "if ever you think of taking a crack at me, don't. I'd rather you did it with a machine-gun.

Macadamized Roads and Heir Invention "The civilized world has become familiar with 'macadamized' roads, but it is doubtful if many of the miilicns who use them know the origin of the term," observes the Toronto Mail & Empire. The British Institution of Municipal and County Engineers are taking active steps to commemorate the centenary of the death of that pioneer of roaumaking, John Loudon Mc-^dam, which occur- red at Jloffat on November '26, 1836. Mc.A.dam was born in 1756, his father being a local landowner and hanker in A>t. .\t the age of fourteen he joined an uncle in business in New York, and did not return to Scotland until 1783. Thereafter for fifteen years he served as Deputy Lieutenant for the County of -Vyr, and devoted much attention to the improvement of the local roads. Sub- sequently he removed to Falmouth, where he was concerned in the vic- tualling of the navy, though he also made a hobby of studying road con- ditions in that part of England. In 1816 he was appointed surveyor of the Bristol Turnpike Trust, and a year later demonstrated his system of road construction in London. This system was based upon the principle that, with proper drainage, broken stone of suitable size can be laid on the natural subsoil, thus eliminating the expensive stone-paved foundation that had previously been considered necessary.
