Slaile's people provide the working capital. Do you get It, Dan'/" "I get i(." Dan said. "Ira on, If yo'.i are, partner." "You've bought a guldniine, Mr. Slatle," Wetherby chuckled. Slade drew a cheque on the spot. }I..' had lii.s agreement with the part- ntrs all drawn up and ready for sig- nature. Dan read it through carefully, in.-;rvelling at the cilerity and jiromp- titude with which this iialp had been i'.r"onipllslii(l. He and Wetherby sign- <'d along the dotted line; and then Slade accompanied them lo the bank, to riitroduce ihim to the manager as clients who wished to open accounts. ''Look nu; up presently, Mr. I'res- cott," Slade said as they .shook hands. "I may need a bit of help with early development work. I'll say goodbye to you Wetherby. You'll not fall to g'l in tou<i'i with Mr. .Medlicott as noon as you reach I^ondon." Dan went off wit<!i Wetherby to the fhipping cjlll( e to book passage for Kngland by the next boat. Now that / lie had his money in the bank, We- therby was eager to get away. "I wish you were coining with me, Dan," Wetherby said, when the berth had been booked and paid for. "I don't know how I'll get on without you. No man ever had such a good mate as you." "I'll stick about here," said Dan gn.fTly. ''Keep an eye on things. Who's that you've got to see In Lon- €l:;n?" "Medlicott. the man who's finding the money. I'm going In show speci- mens, and tell people how we found the mine. Slade is very keen on that." "What people?" Dan asked. '•People wiho tire likely to take fhares, of course," Wetherby explain, rd, •'Slade's principal buys from us, to sell at a profit. He's a promoter, you know." "I supose it's all right," Dan said doubtfully. "Keep your lamps open, Don." "Trust me," Wetherby promised. Next day he was off again, leav- ing Dan alone In his Sydney hotel. .Wetherby had friedns, whom he wlsiii- e<l to visit before sailing for Kng- land, he said. Dan never saw or heard of him again until the day before his boat was due to sail from ('ircular Quay, at Sydney. Not that Dan miss- ed him very muo!i. Wetherby was all jlght In the bush or at work, but ' In a cily like Sydney he jarred on Dan. They hadn't the same tastes. When Wetherby appeared he was flustered and ill at ease. Dan noticed It at once, ^ •. Going on a Holiday? We can give you the best whether you want to Rett Play Fish O. J. McRae Lingerloag Lodga, AriJbag, Ont. (Jut Borth of r>rT7 â- onnd.) '•You'll be all rigilit, when once you are on the boat and at sea," he re. marked, fearing one of the displays of emotion to which his partner was prone. "Dan, 1 cannot go," Wetherby blurt- ed out. "You'll have to go in ray place, Dan; I can't get away." "What on earthâ€"" Dan fcegan. "IllI show you," Weliierby said, catching him by the arm and drag- ging him toward the reception room of the hotel. A pretty fair girl, in a festive frock, blushed as she met Dan's wondering gaze. "This is my mate, I..orna," Wetilier- by said. "Meet the missus, Dan. We are on our honeymoon." "How do you do, Mr. Prescott'.'" asked the bride cordially. ''I've heard â- â- o much about you from my hus- band." "Oh, yea," Dan heard himself say. "Well, Don always was a good pick, er." â- Which was not what he wanted to say; and nothing like it. "Do you really think so?" gushed the bride, laying a gloved hand on Dan's arm. "You don't know how pleased I am that you like me. Don thinks you are the most wonderful man In the world, you know. And you will go to England in his place, won't you? because I could not bear to bo separated from my hubby so soon." Dan's head was swimming. An over, powering atmosphere of perfume seemed to emanate from this Strang, er, who was treating him as an In. timate friend and taking for granted all sorts of favours. He looked ap- pealingly at Wetherby, who only grin, nod at his discomfiture. "That'.s the way, Uirna," Wether, by encDiirnged. "Give the ol<l damp- er hound the thrill of his life. Dan's not used to girls." 'Tm going to find Dan a nice wife for himself, now that he's a rich man,' said Ixirna coiKldently. ".Inst yon wait, Dnn, until you sec iher." To Dan's fmmenae relief Slade en. tered the reception lobby nt this op. portune moment.

BLANCHE HALES SQUIRES. Matlawa. Ont., July 17, 1935. Ottawa â€" The fact that more young co'iples are now getting mar- ried and setting up house indicates, possibly better than any carefully prepared index, returning public confidence and improving economic conditions in Canada. Government statistics show that 73,023 marriages were performed in 1934 or, in other words, 140,046 persons were confi- dent of their economic future. The number of marriages solemnized in 1934 was the largest in the past five years and represents an increase of 9,158 or 14.3 per cent, over 1933 figures. Of this total, 33,261 or less than half took place in cities and other large urban centres of 10,000 population or over. More recent figures, covering such urban centres alone show that the marriage rate this year will be even higher than in 1934. For the first five months of 1935. January to May inclusive, 21,230 Canadians stepped up to the altar as compared with 20,798 in 1933. During the first five months of this year the provinct of Ontario led all other sections of the Dominion with approximately 4,667 weddings. The province of Quebec came second with 2,234, the Prairie Provinces third with 2,084, British Columbia fourth with 880 and the Maritime Provinces last with 635. By cities, Toronto led with 1,990 weddings as compared with Montreal's 1,088, although the lat- ter city showed a more marked in- crease over last year than did the former. Winnipeg came third with 775 weddings and Vancouver fourth with 697. The purchases of household fur- niture and equipment by the newly married couples and the number of wedding presents showered on them greatly accelerates the machinery of industrial production and retail trade. This is reflected in the in- creases registered in the Dominion Bureau of Statistics' report on the changes in the value of retail sales during the popular wedding months, particularly in the furniture store reports. Dark Sheers Best Town Frocks For Hot Weather "No, summer weather doesn't bother me," an executive told us last summer. "I simply refuse to tliink about it. After ail, we always have h'lt days in July and August and J decided long a^o that I mind- ed them less if I stopped comment- ing about the temperature and tlihought of more pleasant things." His idea is a good rule for all of us to follow. It stands to rea.son that the less you think about .some- thing unpleasant, the less it annoys you. Since notliing you do or say willj make tlie brec'/;es cooler, you might as well accept the weather philoso- jihically and forget about it. Wear the coolest clothing you can buy, of course. This means under- wear of .sheer cottons (new and fash- ionable this season) or silks that absorb moisture and let the air get to your skin. For town, you'll prob- ably discover that dark chiffon jack- et drcs.se.s and cool-looking, short- sleeved prints ai'e tlie most comfort- able. Wliite hats and other acces- sories make you look cool, even to yourself. Remember to put on fresh ling- erie and stockings each morning. Incidentally, it's better not to wear the same pair of shoes two days in succession. Take two baths a day â€" n lukewarm one before you go to bed and a cool shower wlien you get up in the morning. If you are home at lunch, another shower will help you to get through the afternoon in a more peaceful manner. If not, at least wash your face, neck, arms and hands and pat on 8 skin tonic before you apply fresh makeup. Regrets Bible Not More Widely Read Lion Cub*8 Travels [ndia to London Zoo London Times Weekly Singh was born in the Zoological Gardens at Jamnagar towards the end of Marcli, but there was noth- ing to indicate that he would soon be fated to travel as far as to Re- gent's Park. The chain of events was started by a letter from a small boy in England, in which he asked his mother, t^en staying as a guest ol His Highness the Mahaajah Jam Sahib, to bring him a lion or a tiger from India. One night at dinner in the palace the request was laugh- ingly mentioned. It met with an im- mediate reponse. Singh, the only male in a litter of three, was then and there presented to the small boy, whose mother charged herself with the transport of the gift. Singh was â- '.hen barely a fort- night old â€" an odd little bundle of rough fur, the size of a large kit- ten. Plainly, he must be gradually weaned. Accordingly, he was separ- ated from his mother for some hours every day until he became accus- tomed to human beings. A strong and amply big enough travelling cage of hardwood was constructed and fitted on the outside with opa- que blinds which could be pulled in order to give him the darkness which he loved. When the time came for his final separation from his mother he was still to young to lap, and was fed at two-hourly intervals by having milk poured down his throat. He put on weight steadily, A-as safely transported to 3ombay, given a day or two's rest there, and then placed in a sheltered nook in the liner which was to convey him to the West. As soon as he was strong enough to walk a small collar and chain were provided for him; the sight of Singh at his daily exercise on the boat deck of the liner soon became an event of the day. He proved an affectionate and playful as a kit- ten, early learning to recognize friends and to keep his already for- midable claws carefully sheathed in playini? with them. It was found that he flourished best on a widely-advertised infant food to which raw eggs were added. He was brushed and groomed every day as carefully as a prize Pek- ingese; his coat became sleek and glossy and he remained entirely free from any trace of "zoo smell." Travelling in the suite of His Hi.gh- ness the Maharajah Jam Sahib, Singh quickly became in every sense the lion of the party. The Italian and the French Gov- ernments gave him special facilities for crossing their frontier, but in Kngland as a lion he would fall within the four corners of stringent anti-rabies regulations; and for a while his owners were in despair. But interest in the journey of an Indian lion cub so young to Eng- land, and the ready acceptance by the Zoological Society of London of all responsibility for his future as soon as he became too massive for a country house jointly evoked the sympathy and helf of the officials in the Ministry of Agriculture. The visit of an inspector of the Ministry to the country house which was to be Singh's temporary abid- ing place resulted in the declaration that, within a few nece-i.-.r.ry pre- cautions, a large conservatory and a walled rose garden would be suit- able quarantine. To thesp quarters Singh was transported from Dover in his own car; in them he quickly settled down, becoming, if possible, even more good-tempered and more tract- able than he had been before. But, alas! he has grown so much In health and strength tliat, while bis raan- ncr.s i<ie perfect, '.he respoi.sibilily of keeping him has become too great for any but the skilled attend- ants of the Zoological Society's Gardens. In his splendid ([uaTters there his friends feel sure that he will not disdain to take notice of the chil- dren whom he has come to regard as playmates.

All Rights Reserved Geoffrey St. Clair Graphologist ^••••••••m%999m%909»tmm9%%»mm9*t*mm99»' Recently, several correspondents have asked questions about the sta- tus of Graphology, posing certain ob- jections against It, and m this ar. tide I will deal briefly with some of these angles: "How can handwriting siiow one's character, when we are taught how to write from the same copybook m school?" The answer to this objec- tion proves how strongly handwriting DOES siiow character. Because, it you will study the writing of a single class of students who have learned writing from the same copybook, a few years afterwards, you will NOT FIND TWO WHO WRITE ALIKE. Each one writes differently â€" a dit. ferent slant, a different pressure, and differing conformation of letters. This is so, despite the training they have had in a standardized writing hand, and proves tiiat, as one grows, one's character changes or strength- ens, and one's handwriting changes, too. "Does handwriting show the sex of the writer?" This question has been asked me quite trequeiStly of late, and my answer is that while it is possible for the trained graph- ologist to make certain guesses of the sex of the writer at times, there is really no definite scientific foun- dation for this. We all know men who write in a feiminlne hand, and vice versa, wo- men who write a markedly masculine hand â€" the reason is simply that these people typify these same traits In their characters. Some men are almost feminine In their habits, and there are women wiio act In an al. most masculine way. These charac- teristics are shown in their haudwrit- ing. Recently, a colleague of mine pick, ed out a dozen specimens of writing from my files, and, hiding the names of the writers, asked me to state which were written by men and which were the work of women. Tliis test revealed that I chose nine out of the twelve correctly. 1 might add that my friend had purposely cho. sen specimens tiat he thought would prove puzzling. It all goes to thow that it is sometimes difficult to spe- cify the sex of the writer, and as there is very little to be gained by this, not very much particular re- search has been expended on this angle. However, it Is probable that before very long, as a result of tie various researches that are being car. ried on in handwriting, some defin- ite scientific evaluation will be pos- sible to determine the writer's ser. "Can disease be revealed by ones handwriting?" This is an angle of graphology that is exercising the experts continually. 1 might say that information is being obtained continually concerning this very im. portant angle of the science, and It is true that, even now. certain dis- eases can be indicated by handwrit- ing. But to say that there is any "cut and dried" scale to deierm.'ne these scientifically is to go beyond the facts. Now and again it is possible to help a writer to know a little more about bis or her health a; a result of a scrutiny of handwriting, but as yet there is no accurate and perm- anent means of determining ailments or disease, in all cases. Would YOU like to know what YOUR handwriting reveals aboul you? The truth, not as you might like It, but as it really is? And have you friends about whom you are anxious to know something of their characters? Send specimens of the handwriting you want analyzed, stat. ing blrthdate In each case. Enclose lOo coin for each specimen and en. close with 3c stamped addressed en. velope, to: Geoffrey St. Clair, Room 421, 73 Adelaide Street West, Tor. onto, Ont.

Issue No. 31 â€" "35 (Medicine Hat News) On the Prairies the sandhill crane is known as the "wild turkey" of Canada, but though edible it is a very different bird indeed from the genuine wild turkey of the Soutnern States which is the progenitor of the domestic turkey. In this connection it is interesting to note that the Wild Animal Park Society at Moosejaw has been ex- perimenting with the wild turkey of the South and from young birds im- porte<i now boasts the possession of a flock of 150, the largest in captivity in Canada. "In 1929 there wasn't a wild tur- key in Canada, and our society im- ported three birds at a cost of $100 in order that we might show the public the difference between sand- hill cranes (so often called wild turkeys) and wild turkeys. The only similarity they have is the noise they make while in the air. The birds themselves are about as dif- ferent as birds could be. We have since imported several more turkeys and have raised and sold turkeys to various parts of Canada, and last Kail had a flock of over 160 birds. "The wild turkey, known in the U. S. as America's grandest game bird, is the finest eating there is in the bird line. There is more white meat in proportion than a domestic turkey and the meat is of a finer texture, sweeter and not so I'ry. Many of the most successful domestic turkey breeders in the United States are buying wild tur- key gobblers and crossing them with ] the domestic turkey to improve the I quality of the domestic birds that, ] through time, have become too coarse and larger than the market ' calls for. "We have over 70 breeding stock The largest flock in Canada. In fac' more than all the rest of Canada put together, and have been the mean^ of starting the other parts to pr'-- : agate them, and supplied the breed- ing stock for most of them.
