Dan charters a riane back to Aus- tralia to check up on Westeiby. "Good boy!" Slade approved. "Get right out of it for a month or so. Get some green stuff into you, and some sea air through. Take a decent spell." "A month!" Dan repeated. "What are you talking about? I'm finished here, Slade. A long spell? Cripes, you said it. Dan Prescott, he "bin finissem all about' Domino, Slade." He brouij'lit his hand down be- tween the mine nianagei's shoulder.s and Slade groaned aloud. "Don't do that," he said angrily. â- 'I'm not 'fini.s.sem all about', you lunatic. .And expound a little. Why the sudden resolution, and the hasty flight from Dandong?" '•Heoause I'm off to Kngland," Dan said. "And if I ever oome back, Slade, you can fry me slowly on the roof of that sralvanised iron shed." "Flying to Enj^huui?" Slade asked with a grin. "Good lord, no." Dan said has- tily. "That reminds me. Do you think that plane is safe? Snowy had better give it a thorough overhaul before we pull out of here. I don't want any thing to happen now." "Safe!" Slade repeated, staring at Dan, open-nuiutlicd. "Coming from you, that certainly laps tho clima.x. Hey, Snowy! Dan Prescott wants to know whether your bus is safe." "And my bus want's to know if it'.s safe to carry Dan Ti-escott," shouted the pilot. "What's the mat- ter with the boss now? Touch of sun, or something?" "Heart attack.' I reckon." Slade said. "Person;il ind private heart attack, maybe." ".\w, shut up ' said Dan „'ruffly. "And go »ver that bus. Snowy. I'm not taking any risks." "Hut, seriously, Dan," Slade .said, "What am I to do, if you walk out on nie now?" "You walk out. too." Dan advised. "Listen, Slade! You and I have been doing the work, and we put Uj) the front, didn't we? Well, Medlicotit and Westerby have un!oidod their shitres on the mugs of London at fancy prices. They got JE t and £5 a share." vSlade pursed iiis lip.s in a prolong- ed whistle. 'Smart birds," he conniiented. "The stock ij good, honest value at par; but further than that I'd not like to go." "Aledlicott ii-^ youi- concern," Dan said. "But I'm sort of responsible for Westerby. .A.nd I'm • off to England to look after hi ii." "If he hears that you are coming he'll not wait," Slade said. "One reunion with you, Dan, is quite en- ough for Westerby." "He'll wait." Dan said, "And he'll do what I tell him. So long, Slade. Farewell, Dangong! You'll never hear tho nightingales sing here, Slade." "Nightingales," repeated Slade. "Kightingales! Thaf.s the nearest we ever get to a nightingale in Dangong." Snowy had starte.l the aeroplane engine, and the camp was reverb- erating to its blatant roaring. It was a beautiful day in early May. and Kve sat at her" desk, con- scious that spring fever, with all its sweetness and all its sense of long- ing and loneliness, was running riot in her veins. Her mind was busy with the events of a year ago, and the numb ache in her heart was saying that gone was the spring: of yesterday, never to return. The .sound of a deep voice in the office outside made her stiffen in her chair; and then she heard Frankie's clear treble lifted in a cry of â€" "Dan Prescott! You angel from heaven! Fancy remembering me I" And then Dan himself flung the door open, and came striding in. A. big bunch of Parma violets gave the clue to Frankie's cry, and told her that Dan, like herself, had been thinking back a year, to the day when first they met. "I got your letter, Eve," Dan said; "and here I am." Y'es. there he was; big and brown; and just as .=hy and awkward as ever. Eve wanted to get up, but a weak- ness held her chained to her place. ''What 'lovely violets!" she said weaklyr-"They remind me ... it is just a year ago." Dan dived into a capacious pocket and produced a case of blue leather. "Does this remind you !of any- thing?" he asked. Eve nodded, watching him as he pressed the spring and handled the bracelet he had shown her, but had not dared to offer. "You know what it means to me?" Dan asked, very stern now. "I told you long ago; but perhaps you have forgotten?" Dumbly Eve shook her head; she l\"d not foi'gotten. Dan held it out, dangling on one finger. "Well?" he asked huskily. Eve's answer was to take the â- iraeelet .-ird 'la."--'! it on her v.rist ind lift it to her lips. Then slic v.a.; i:i ihxn's arms.

They were so taken up with one another that they did not notice the entrance t)f Medli- cott. and weie startled when he call- ed:â€" "Hullo, Prescott! Wehome to our city." Dan and Eve drew apart, confused by the interruption. "We were just talking about you," Mcdlicott continued, twinkling gen- ially, "Westerby, here's an old friend of yours." Westerby made his entrance with a glad smile, and after him tripped Gladys, her eyes opened to their wid- est extent. Hoth men held their hands extended, but Dan plunged his fists into his coat pockets. "I've got news for you, Wester- by," he said. "You are catching the boat to Australia the day after to- morrow." . "Can't be done, old man," Wester- !iy said, promptly, but his smile be- came fixed and uneasy. "Who says so?" Dan asked. "You?' He turned on Medlicott with the air of an angry tiger, but Medlicott smiled and shook his heau. "No business of mine." he said.

Children Think Memhers Do Not Look Very Clever Visitors in House Gallery Also Couldn't Hear What Was Going on Below OTTAWA, â€" Forty little girls, aged 10 and 11, seated sedately in rows In the visitors' gallery, absorbed what they could hear ot the speeches in the House ot Commons as part o£ their education. Afterwards, in a bay win- dowed recess ot a parliamentary cor- ridor, they were questioned by their teacher. Miss Margaret McLean. The girls have been studying "ci- vics" all year and after this trip to give them a general idea ot how the laws are made by men whose pictures they had seen in the papers, they wei-e keen to show their knowledge. Did they know who was the Prime Miuister? A dozen hands went up, "Mr King-" The gentlemen cluster- ed around Mr. King were the Liber- als. Who were those closest to Mr. King? A hand or two went up. They were tho Cabinet ministers. What were the gentlemen doing 'f Cue solitary band went up. "They are making rules for Ottawa." No, that was not quite right, said .Miss Mc- lean, they were not makiug rules for Ottawa, but Canada, nine provinces and one terrilory. And what did they do this afternoon? There was a gen- eral silence, then an outburst: "We couldn't hear." Finally an onlooker asked a ques- tion: Did the children think the mem- hers looked very clever? The answer, the most unanimous came with one voice. "No," said the 40 little future voters. English Divines Are Divided n W a r (London Letter by David L)a;;-aii In Chicago Tribune) That English churches are seriously iplit in their attitude toward war and tuwa:d the government's recruiting campaign Is disclosed In outspoken utterances of British religious lead- ers. A number of niiul.-jters are already facing the prospect of going to prison la event ot war. .'Vnother group is asking â€" Should pacifists pay income tax â€" especially the new additions expressly for arm- «ments? The cleavage it appears, is usually between clergymen over 40 years ot age and those below. A large proportion ot the young men are pacifists who would not even succor wounded soldii-rs on the ground lliat tu do so is to take part in war. Among the older clergy are a ma- jority who are stroug supporters ot tiie League ot .Nations, who uphold sanctions, and who would appiove ot the use ot armed forces in case ot need. Conflict exists over what pacifism Is, since these for the most part call themselves pacifists al.so. It is difficult to arrive at estimates of the strength of the various groups within the free churches, but after discussions with weU-iuformed per- sons it would sem that about a tenth to a fifth are extreme pacifists. A fifth take an approximately Tory view that the Briiish Empire must be preserved and fought for if the need arises. The i-emainder support the League ot Nations and collective security, a great many ot them favoring an In- ternational force to do police work. Ot the Church of England, It is still Not as I Do, As I Say Doctor. "You are slightly morbid, my dear lady. You should look about you and marry again." Widow: "Oh, dictor, is this a pro- po.sal?" Doctor. "Allow me to remind you madame, that a doctor pi-escribes me- dicine, but he doesn't take it. " VEXMOK O. CABBY.

Beafdent Kanarat Increase in Heart Disease Of Youth Due to Fast Life KANSAS CITY, Mo.â€" Boys and girls who stay up late of night, drinking and smoking and carrying on, are likely to come down with heari disease. Dr. Howard B. Spraguo, of the Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, made that statement before the American Heart Association. "Coronary heart disease," he said, "is increasing among the yojth of to- day as a result of the faster tempo of the life they are leading." The apparent increase in other forms of heart disease, he said, "is really due to the longer life periods of human beings as a result of mo<lern advances in medicine." He warned against taking exercise "in leaps and bounds." "It is foolish," he added, "to play 36 holes of golf one day and then wait three months before going to the course again. "If unused to exercise, the indi- vidual should not take on a program too heavy for his abilities." Issue No. 23 â€" '36 There is, however, "no such thing as athlete's heart." "What is gereraliy referred to as athlete's heart," he said, "is really a nervous disorder which causes the heart to beat more quickly."

Toronto KEEPS TEETH SPARKLING Monkeys Revealed by Tests As R u g g e d Individualists more difficult to apeak with accuracy. Only about 10 Anglican clergymen have joined the pacifist group pledg- ed to take no part In war and to make It impossible. Rough corresponding figure* of the free churches are: Methodist clergy. G91 out ot 3,U0O. Congregational, about 350 out of 2,000. Baptists, possibly 200 out of 2,000. In addition. Unitarian ministers who have renounced war number about lOO. Presbyterians 70, and the Church of Scotland about 200. It la clear that tbe proportion of the whole is comparatively small. The attitude of Anglican clergy is complicated by the church's close as- sociation with the State and by per- sonal family ties with near relatives serving in the armed forces. The British recruiting campaign is proving to be very unsatisfactory frcun tbe government's standpoint. The War Office had iioped to enlist ;;0,00') men during ttie year. Twenty four woek.s have passed and only about li.tiOO men liave been enlisted. The government's tliiee minutes re- cruiting film, in which War Minister Duff-Cooper appealed for men. coupl- ed with scenes if army life, was not an uiniualified succe.is. A well-inform- ed person in the film industry said the film waa unfortuuate â€" did not have, a good effect." Dr. Donald Soper, minister at Is- lington Cential Hull. London, and a Joint secretaiy of the Methodist Fel- lowshii> of Peace, makes no bones about bis opposition to recruiting. He speaks against it on Tower Hill. "If the situation becomes really cri- tical I should have to take upon my- self the task ot inciting to disaffec- tion," ho said. "1 should advise sol- diers to throw down their arms." He forsees that his action might land him in jail. Cow Raising Motherless Colt Adopted at birth, last i-'ebruarf by a Holstein cow, the puiebred racing colt owned by Mrs. R. E. Webster, of Maitlaiid. is piogrei^sing splendidly. They make their daily visits to the pasture together. The colt was lett motherless at birth but quickly ac- quired the desii-ed relationship which has continued unbroken. EVAxNSTON, Ill.-Socialistic pwus- tices, a psychologist reports, are un- known in monkeyland. Rugged individualism is tha stan- dard there. Prof. D. L. Wolfal of the University of Mississippi, told th« Midwestern Psychological Aatoeia- tion. Monkeys have no sense of co-opera- tion, the professor said he determin«4 in a series of experiments. Wolfel said be placed two monkeys in cakes side by side. In front of th« cages was a long lever mounted oa a platform corresponding in length to the combined length of the cagea. The apparatus was so arranged that the monkey in Cage A could pull a chain and move the lever so it could carry a cup of food to the monkey in Cage B. On the opposite side of the cages, another lever could be man- ipulated by the monkey in Cage B to feed the monkey in Cage A. .All the monkeys â€" four pairs were used in 24 tests daily fur more than a month â€" pulled the lever when there was food in the cup. They pulled just as regularly when the cup was empty. Then a screen was placed between the cup and the monkey who did the puiling. The monkey in the other cage, able to see the food which waa shielded from its partner, evidencee excitement to which monkey No. I paid no attention. Xext one Monkey was removed from his cage. His partner palled food into the empty cage as readily as when it was occupied. Wolfel said his results proved the fallacy of legends of co-operation among animals.
