GLYNN-WARD CHAPTER XII She screamed piercingly--but at the same instant came the sharp click of an automatic. She saw Dick turn sharply. The other figure reeled and fell to the ground. Ching Lo rose from the bushes where he had been crouching. "Ching Lo one velly good shot!" Dick was running towards them. He saw a strange sight--Ching Lo, the camp cook, catching a woman as she fell forward in a faint. Strangest of all, that woman was Claudia Town- When Claudia opened her eyes again, she was lying beside a roaring fire. Dick was holding her little flask of brandy to her lips. "Are you all right, my darling girl?" Dick was asking. I? But Ching Lo shot that brute and saved you!" 'But how did you know--" "I overheard Wallace and Mr. Brad-dock talking in their office in Seattle. They were planning to get rid of you. Because you knew something-- they thought they'd be ruined if you told." "The spruce! I'd found out they were stealing timber. But tell me--" Claudia told him all that had happened during the last few days. "D'you really mean to say, Claudia, that you came all this way north-- thaf you did all this--for me?" She looked up at him, smiling, nod ded shyly. Meanwhile Ching Lo had dragged the still figure of Moriarty off into the bushes and covered him with his coat. Now Ching turned to Claudia "Better - you enough for saving my life like that!" Ching laughed pleasantly. "Missa Whalen, you savee Ching's life, Ching Lo not forget! Ching Lo savee Missa Whalen's life time he can do! Goo'bye!" Ching was gone -- disappearing through the door and out into the night again, like a mysterious shad- The following day, Wallace Bornell and Mr. Braddock sat over lunch in gloomy silence at the Burns Lake Inn. They had received no word concerning the whereabouts of Miss Town-send or their Chinese cook. They looked up idly and without interest as the day train went through. A few minutes later the inn-keeper came in holding a note. "Here's new o' the lady, Mr. Bornell! The conductor handed me a note from Miss Townsend, askin' me to forward her grips to Prince Rupert by earliest train. It says to forward Mr. Whalen's grips to Prince Rupert, Bornell and Braddock both started to their feet. "Whalen with her!" "Then what has become of Moriarty?" "We'd better get back to camp--" But new arrivals intercepted the two as the left the dining-room -- two-men who had just left the train. "Mr. Bornell?" asked one of them, stepping forward. "Yes?" Wallace questioned. "I want to see you, Mr. Bornell about a little matter of spruce, blue spruce--" "You had better talk to my manager," said Wallace. "We'll deal with him later," was the curt answer. The newcomer spread maps out on the table, bent over _ ,i it-1 ,h,;:!-: ^ _ - "Yes, yes," he said. "That's the sec- l led them rough, trail-like road. They sped on and late in the night came to a farm at the edge of the lake. Their story as poured into sympathetic ears, hot coffee revived them, and the motherly farmer's wife put Claudia to bed. 'She'll be- all right in the morning," the good wife told Dick. "We'll see that you get to the. train tomor- "Gco'bye, Missa Whalen!" Dick looked around to see Ching edging toward3 the door. "Hullo, Ching, where are you go- 'I go, Missa Whalen. You tellum missee goo'bye, yes?" "But Ching--we haven't thanked yoa properly! We can never thank Canada Has Unused Land To Accommodate Millions Writer in Saturday Night Urges Land Settlement Policy A great land settlement movement once started, would provide its own business and pay its own way. While it was going on it would create employment and provide home markets such as Canadians now only dream of as belonging to the good old days. So writes E. Newton-White in article in Toronto Saturday Night in which he advocates immigration for Canada. He admits that there are same valid arguments again immigration at this time, unemployment, lack of markets for certain farm products and distress among certain classes and communities. But he goes on to claim that before such a settlement plan as he urges ended "there would be created a permanent and entirely additional population in cities and the wilderness, in factories, mills, forests and mines. Every settled producing family on a farm would mean at least one extra self-supporting family in the other occupations of the nation." Canadians, the writer says, talk glibly of vast vacant spaces, of "illimitable" resources which are "scarcely scratched; great stores of minerals, forests, soil fertility, power. But he quotes economists as saying, "the untapped resources are valueless until they are put to use, and have their highest value only when they are put to full and careful use and management for the good of the greatest number of people." Otherwise the aboriginal Indians of North America "were each and all multimillionaires." The total area of Canada, some two billion acres, is, he points out, only a little smaller than Europe, a little larger than the United States, and almost a third of the whole area of the British Empire. Of that total, some 31,000,000 acres is farming land, Be Gay--Get Out Your Scraps For This Laura Wheeler Quilt 7 manager VIMY REUNION -1937- THE FIRST ANNIVERSARY VISIT to VIMY RIDGE AT REDUCED OCEAN RATES for Members of the Canadian Legion and their dependent Sailings from Montreal July9th-"AURANIA," "LETITIA' '* 16th--"ALAUNIA," "ANDANIA' " 23rd-"AUSONIA,""ATHENIA' Tours of four weeks duration, will visit Vimy Ridge, The Battlefields, Paris, Versailles, Mal-maison and London.

Bornell grew rigid, j forced himself to speak. "I--there's a mistake-can explain--Braddock!" But Braddock had gone. "You can explain all that in court, Mr. Bornell." While Wallace Bornell faced trial in an apparently hopeless case, it hop-pened that the captain of the Seattle ice-hockey team met Dick Whalen and his wife in Seattle. "Hullo, Whalen," he cried, "you are the very man I want to see! We'd be delighted if you could play for us. That is, if you're staying in Seattle now?" "Yes, he is," Claudia answered with a beaming smile. "We were married up at Prince Rupert last week, and we're on our honeymoon Dick's working in Dad's office."

Nothing, of course, is farther from our minds during these lovely summer days, than cold winter weather, but it's a good idea to prepare for it. Jams and jellies are things which no household can do without at breakfast time on chilly mornings and there are so many other uses for them as well Every housewife uses a flash of jelly here and there to brighten up and add sparkle to her dishes. The first Canadian fruit to be used in this way is strawberries and as the season is not long, the sooner you make up your bottles of jam and jelly, the better. But that does not mean long hours of hard labor and hot, tiring work over a cook stove. There is a new way of doing this job which really makes it a pleasure, not only because of the time saved but also because the net result is really something to be proud of. By making your jams and jellies with bottled fruit pectin, you can be sure of the result--a perfect, tender product which has a flavor beyond compare. Not all fruits, as you may have found out to your sorrow, have the amount of pectin and that is the cause of the trouble when your jelly won't jell. This is just where bottled fruit pectin comes in. It takes the guess work out of jelly making nsures the results by applying just the right amount of pectin for whichever fruit you may be using. Strawberries, particularly, lack enough pectin to be used for jelly making unless pectin is added. The following recipe gives you just the right amount of each ingredient to control the relationship between the sugar, pectin and acid and so get successful jams and jellies every time. Here are the recipes for both strawberry jam and jelly which you can make at the same time or within a few days of each other. Strawberry Jelly 4 cups (2 lbs.) juice 8 cups (3% lbs.) sugar 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 bottle fruit pectin Measure sugar and juice into a large saucepan and mix. Bring to a boil over hottest fire and at once add bottled fruit pectin, stirring constantly. Then bring to a full rolling boil and boil hard one-half minute. Remove from fire, skim, pour quickly. Paraffin hot jelly at once. Makes about 12 8-ounce glasses. To prepare juice for jelly making, crush thoroughly or grind about quarts fully ripe berries. Place fruit in jelly cloth or bag and squeeze out juice. Strawberry Jam 4 cups (2 lbs.) strawberries 7 cups (3 lbs.) sugar % bottle fruit pectin Measure sugar and fruit into a large kettle, mix well, and bring to a full rolling boil over hottest fire. Stir constantly before and while boiling. Boil hard 3 minutes. Remove from fire and stir in bottled fruit pectin. Pour quickly. Paraffin hot jam at once.

Mr. Newton-White discusses the Dominion's forest resources, the tourist possibilities, the furs, the fisheries and the mineral deposhs, capable of a great expansicn of deevlopraent. These special resources, he says, "baL ance the agricultural." But he thinks the place to start in developing ihem lies in a land settlement policy.
