Here and there Landon was greeted by friends and acquaintances. One woman asked for Teddy Banks, another--having heard that the fine looking stranger was also a cousin of Landon's-- asked to have Mark brought to her house. "He's so interesting," she said; "so unusual!" Landon was in a white fury when he finally got Mark at the door of the smoking room. It was beyond the conservatory and the departing ftfX^Oil The Great BREEDING Aid For CATTLE, SWINE and other LIVE STOCK guests had drifted out of it. The room was empty save for the dissolving cloud of cigarette smoke. Landon beckoned to Mark. "A word with you!" he said hoarsely, closing the door; he was pale with rage. Mark stood easily, facing him; there was a splendid vigor about him that Landon had not seen in his poor, rough and ready suit of clothes. It could not be said that clothes made the man, but the man shone radiantly through the clothes, there was something about him-- in this house-brbken, scented atmosphere--splendidly, heathenish-ly alive. He smiled at Archie's wrath. * * * "You've lost," he said casually; "I'm asked to dine." "I know it," replied Landon fiercely,- "but you won't--you'll go home'!" "Better take your defeat more calmly," counselled Mark; "you're not a good sport." Landon gasped with anger. "I've watched you," he said thickly; "you've trespassed here--you've dared too much. Now, you'll get out!" Mark's eyes met his mockingly; for a moment their glances ground on each other like crossing steels, then he laughed. "Listen--I've won and I'll stay; the dinner was the acid test, you know.

An infant when Nazis invaded country in 1940, boy has known only oppression and war, but he smiles as new day dawns for Holland. it, threw him, once jn a while, a dare-devil look. But Mark himself was not as happy as he looked. The atmosphere of the place was like a hot-house, fragrant and warm--the glow of shaded lights-- the soft voices of the women. Abruptly arose the vision of prison fare--fifteen years of it. The dare-deviltry that had made him fling defiance at Landon melted in Pam's shining glance. What right had he, an ex-convict, to sit beside her, to touch her hand, to look into her eyes? A kind of fever seized him; once or twice it was in his mind to rise and shout the truth at them. Then Burleson held him from it--one of the men who had helped send him to prison; who, no doubt, like Fosdick, believed him guilty. Covertly now he studied him; a gray face, a wrorn old man, grown mightily prosperous, but not happy; he had lost his wife and three sons; riches alone weighed upon him. Did he ever think of the boy he had help-. ed send to prison? It gave Mark a kind of impish satisfaction to sit at his table, only he wanted to shout his name at him--to defy him. Then Mrs. Lynn addressed him, smilingly. "Mr. Byram, I want to ask you about Stella Byram's wedding. Were you there by any chance?"

Just as soon as you feel the cold coming on and experience headache, pains in the back or limbs, soreness through the body, take a Paradol tablet, a good big drink of hot lemonade or ginger tea and go to bed. The Paradol affords almost immediate relief from the pains and aches and helps you to get off to sleep. The dose may be repeated, if necessary, according to the directions. If there is soreness of the throat, gargle with two Paradol tablets dissolved in water. Just try Paradol the next time you have a cold and we believe that you will be well pleased. Paradol does not disappoint. Dr. Chase's Paradol CHRONICLES of GINGER FARM By Gwendoline P. Clarke Well now, have you got all those "thank you" letters written; the tree and all the Christmas decorations taken down, and your New Year resolutions made? If you have then you have done better than I-- but then it is only New Year's eve with me so I have hardly, had a chance, yet. * * * But I have been thinking about the new year and how best we can make use of it. Don't you think we often let these winter months slip by without making as much use of them as we might? May and June, with all the work that early summer brings, is right with us before we can turn around, and it sometimes finds us with jobs that could very easily have been done on cold winter dyas. What about those housedresses and aprons, those school dresses for the kiddies, and the light-weight underwear that mavbe we didn't have time to mend before it was put away. It is a great time too, for housecleaning drawers, cupboards and closets, isn't it? And of course, some of you will do just as I do--put things away so carefully you never find them again! And then there are letters to write; and maybe there are friends we have neglected . . . the new year is a grand time to check up on our sins of omission--and perhaps clear up a few misunderstandings. There are times when the best of us give, or take offence, when no offence was ever intended. I had an instance of this just recently. A few months ago when I was in Toronto I phoned a friend with whom I correspond--not frequently but enough to keep us in touch with one another. She answered my phone call that day and her voice just about froze me. "Well," I thought, "so that's that!" But at Christmas time I got a letter--my friend had been in a bad way for months--nervous breakdown, I imagine, and she said "It is taking me quite awhile to gather up the broken threads--especially those of friendship--will you write and let us renew our friendship even if we cannot see each other very often." That letter has already been answered but had my. friend not written how easily we could have drifted further and still further apart. , * * * Life is too short for misunderstandings; too fleeting for us to bear a grudge for fancied wrongs. In our friendships, in our family circle, and in our social life, couldn't we learn to be a little more tolerant? We cannot all think alike--it would be a dull world if AWAITING ORDERS Like thousands of our boys on the western front, this alert soldier awaits orders before moving tank further forward. we did--but we can at least recognise the other person's right to differ from us without getting peeved about it. So, in this new. year, wouldn't it be a good idea to think, not so much about what it may hold in store for us but rather of what we have in store for, it. The former is beyond our control; the latter is something else , again. Incidentally we might learn to accept present conditions with a good grace. Do you know I heard of one person who sent an order to a mail-order house for over one hundred dollars worth of goods. The order when filled amounted to a little over seven-fifty!
