As you say, these things can be replaced, I suppose money will do anything and everything, but at the same time with things as they are today I do not wish to waste money." "What do you mean?" she asked quickly. "You haven't been dropping money have you, Michael, over those City concerns?" He noted there was alarm in her voice, and wondered how much she knew of the Trottenleigh Corporation and other concerns into which he had been inveigled lately. "One never knows," he answered. "So long as I stuck to Multi-Motors I was safe. Now I'm not certain how £ stand. I haven't been entirely lucky, as you know lately, either other directions." She lighted a cigarette, placed it nn a jade holder, and waited for minute. "Well, what is a few thousands a man like you?" she remarked. He made no answer. Fury again overtook Michael as i inspected the Minstrel's Gallery, where workmen had started to remove the old pipe organ at her instructions. Although he could not play a note, Michael had his plans all ready for this, and with a player-organ with mechanism, had visualized his enjoyment But for his preoccupation in town during the past few weeks, the work would have been set in hand. It was in a thoroughly bad frame of mind he sat down to dinner, hut mellowed by an excellent meal and a- bottle of wine, went out into the rose-garden afterwards. Tall white lilies, with great golden anthers, bowed as he passed the herbaceous border. Canterberry bells, day-lilies, sweet peas and larkspur bloomed. In the elms rooks were cawing, and up the winding road which let between the village beyond and the farmhouse on the hill he saw a hay-cart slowly move alone. Peace came back. Michael Borde sighed, and looked with pride at the old grey house. "It's mine," he whispered, and a little whispering breeze swept through the roses. It seemed as though they laughed with him. THE CRASH. Eating a leisurely breakfast, sunshine streaming in, but with faint sound of workmen's ham: reaching him from a distant quarter of the old house, Michael Borde felt very much at peace with the world, and the heart sickness had gone. He dismissed memories as one does all thoughts of a bad drealm, and gave himself up to one day's enjoymt Barton," he was saying, think I'll stay, and then motor up to town in the cool of the evening. It' going to be a scorcher. Lovely, though, Isn't it?" Suddenly he turned. He had heard steps on the gravel outside, but had taken no notice. The door opened. Diana Hamill-Hardy came > get it. You might i, my lady,' that the words we 1 from the roo 1 door closed she 1 extraordinary smile. "You coward," she said tauntingly. So that is why you're here." He looked at her in amazement. "I don't understand, Diana," he said tiffly. She held out a "I suppose you thought you would n skin," was her biting he took the paper and spread it on the breakfast table. "Amazing Scenes in City," leapt the headline. "Two Finance Companies Suspend Business. Arrest Dord Trottenleigh........." He stood upright and felt beads of perspiration spring up to his forehead, fearing something he could only guess at, and remembering thi meeting he was to have attended yesterday afternoon. For days past he had been uneasy, but had been unable to concentrate on the matter concerning that financial undertaking on which Trottenleigh and his fellow directors were .engaged. Backing ........ yes. he had afforded them backing ........ here he winced, remembering how much he had put his name to only a week ago. The money had gone through, but he recalled a conversation with his bank manager, and winced again. He had been warned. Yes, but with his usual pig-headednes.s, feeling himself secure so long as he kept watch on things and understood what strings were pulled, he was safe. (To be Continued) What We Eat When times are. bad and purse-, are light, Canadians turn to pork for their meat diet, but when times are better they return to beef, according to the Dominion bureau of statistics. During the worst of the depression years ^/.he per capita consumption of pork ran from 83 pounds in 1931 to 74 in 1933 ' *nd beef from 57 to 50. But in 1934, when things were better, the consumption of pork fell to 66 pounds and beef rose to 68. It was the first year singe the depression set in that the Canadian people ate more beef than pork. It was evident that, while pork might have been dearer •in the worst years, they could make it go farther. Canadians eat comparatively little mutton and lamb. The per capita consumption is only six or seven lbs. And yet lamb and mutton, next to fowl, is the best meat to eat. An Orderly Dog Edmonton Journal -- Occasionally observes the Edmonton Journal, there come from our courts pronouncements that are out of the dinary but that immediately a mend themselves to the good se ! the iiity. emanated from Calgary Police Court the other and reveals Magistrate H. G. Scott iu a Solomonic light. He ruled that a dog going in orderly fashion the butcher shop to get his daily r tions, according to his regular cu torn cannot be declared to be wa dering at large. Under this ruling, charge against one John Riddock of violating a city by-law was dismi ed. Riddock admitted his dog was i out a block from his house without being under immediate restraint. He explained however, that the 12-year-old Airedale was in the habit of going daily to a nearby butcher shop for a bone and on the occasion cited a Wednesday afternoon, the dog forgot about the butcher shop being closed for the half holiday and was standing barking at the door when observed by the police constable. Such a dog could not be described as "wandering at large," the court held. He was in lawful pursuit of his business and might be described as a purposeful dog. "You might warn him about the early closing bylaw," the magistrate advised Riddock, a remark which says the report was greeted with laughter. But why? An intelligent dog would soon realize that his butcher shop had two "Sundays" a week, and being a purposeful and orderly dog, would act accordingly. Undoubtedly on this occasion he was not inciting his butcher to a breach of the Wednesday closing bylaw. He, as his master explained, just forgot. Even humans do that, as witness the appearance of a tin of pork and beans for Wednesday evening dinners. Women Should Be Drafted For War Cleveland--Amelia Earhart, noted aviatrix, believes women should be drafted for war just the same as "Women should be used behind the lines, doing anything that able-bodied women can do," Miss Earhart said. The aviatrix emphasized she did not wish to convey the idea that she believes in war, but that in her own case she would want to fly a fighting plane if the United States were attacked.

He wishes to marry me, and although I have never him, his letters are so pleasant that I find myself drawn to him. He i married, but has not lived with hi wife for some years, and offers to get a divorce if I accept his offer of marriage. I feel that I should marry, because I am still young, but I naturally don't want to mak< mistake. My first marriage was very happy, and my husband left substantial sum of money. Any help you care to give me in showing what you think my correspondent is really like will be welcome." . I am 3orry that I cannot be overly-optimistic about your chances, of making a really favourable marriage with the man who is writing to you. He is not generous--he is, as a matter of fact, of rather a narrow viewpoint; not really broadminded. He is likely to get very irritable, if not bad tempered and whilst lot of us have that little trait allied as it is in this case with narrowness of mind it shows that this mar not easy to live with. He is rather changeable, too. will be inconsistent, not at stable, temperamentally, but fickli his moods. It would be difficult understand him at times. Another characteristic that stands out is this man's vanity. He expresses this in his letter to you when he remarks on the number of lady friends that he has had, and, whilst he is endeavouring to convey a subtle compliment to you, in that he prefers you to all the others, this also shows conceit. And his handwriting bears this out very clearly. I mentioned that he is not very generous. I would go further and say that he is economical and cautious to the point of parsimony. As regards yourself, your writing] of those] shows that you have a rather emotional nature, you are quick to feel joys and sorrows, and possess a marked capacity for affection. Yours is essentially a nature that needs company. There is nothing of the cold or aloof type about you. You are ardent, lovable, spontaneous -- like lots of fun, and have a liking for being "on the go". You are still young, and I certainly agree with you that marriage would be an excellent thing for you --provided that you get the right sort of partner. Your previous happy choice has given you a standard that it may not be easy to parallel. But I have no doubt that the opportunity will again arise. In the meantime, I am sorry that I cannot advise you to accept the man whose writing you sent to me, without, at-least, taking an opportunity of checking up my summing up of his character. Would YOU like to have YOUR j handwriting analysed? And perhaps' you would like to know the truth about your friends? Mr. St. Clair can help you as he has helped so many others. In order to get your: personal character analysis, you: must sond for a copy of Mr. St.: Clair's new Chart, the Graphochart, which contains over 100 illustrations/ and shows you how to read character from writing.

Its bombers boast of slaughtering 150,000 since the first of the year, and hope to kill 200,000 more by spring. When Mother Nature balances her accounts with these violent conservationists they may not be so proud. She has a way ow demonstrating the wisdom of her own order that frequently has made her an revisionists appear very foolish. There are two major counts in the indictment of the crow. He helps himself to the farmer's grain with an almost insulting bravado, a#fd he kills the young of our lovely songbirds. We fear that a verdict of "guilty" must be rendered on both those counts. But there is something to be said in mitigation of his offenses. Against his thefts of grain should be set his insatiable appetite for field mice and other small mammals, for insects and cutworms. One sathsrity declaxes. i-W ";imj>l.v repays the farmer for what he takes by destroying the vermin in th< fields." Fewer crows, more mice anc cutworms--so nature may take toll for man's interference. It is less easy to palliate the crow's criminal assaults on nests of other birds, but many ornithologists hold that murderous offense is rare--much rarer, probably, than man's violence to members of his own species. Possibly the human race should be exterminated -- some pessimistic philosophers have suggested as much --but the majority is still opposed to a remedy so drastic. Generally the crow is conceded to be the most intelligent of birds. Captured when young he soon comes fearlessly familiar with man folk. He is discriminating, picking whom he will for company, and raucously scolding those he dislikes. Always he remains a rascal, a lovable rascal, cockily independent and impudently predatory. Only a mind insensitive to ture's moods could look unmoved upon the etched beauty of the scene when, as the setting sun hangs on the dark edge of the distant woods, the crows come cawing from the fields in flock formation to merge with the mystery of the lengthening shadows. Some of us would spare them for the sake of that thrill. But a more practical defense rests on the part they play in the economy of nature with which man meddles at his peril. , DhWernet's Powder FOR HOLDING ^ ¥ "TEETH ^gr-j.
