Hughes swung round quickly. "What incident?" "Don't you recollect? When the plate was taken from the study and he gave the thief one hour to return "Huh! That was nothing. How do you know he did not engineer that himself? For all you know he may have taken it and put it back himself." "I don't think he could have done that." Foster was aware that Hughes was watching him keenly. "Why couldn't he have done it? These niggers are cute enough for anything.

"I said I saw it on the study table." "But you said it w during that hour." . "That is true. It showed the plate to hour was up." Hughes frowned. "I muttered.

"What was that?" "Well, it showed One-eye and me that the thief was smart, as you say.* Therefore it meant that the thief had a reason for smashing the "I wonder what that could be?"

CONTRAST IN GARDENS "It is very exciting, isn't it," she answered finally. "Yes, color is a lovely thing. The only thing that seems to be left out is the house-and some green. There are ti many flowers for leaves even." A few miles away was another garden, larger, older and traditional. It had been so long on view ii was almost forgotten. The child did not clap her hands as they entered through a wicket a box hedge. Here was enclosed lawns with irregular borders, low walls and steps to different levels, a hundred varieties of shrubs, flowers laid down as though nature had put them there naturally, where they should belong.

Taught Indians (Art O f Home-! Missionary's Wife Recalls Experiences On Reserve 25 Years Ago Mrs. Maclean, wife of the well-known missionary, Dr. John Maclean, .e subject of an interview in The Winnipeg Tribune by Lillian Gibbons, in a series articles on noted Mrs. Maclean worked with her husband in the mission at McLeod, Alta., 25 years ago. Two years after arrival there the Blood Indians of the Blackfoot tribe were put onto the Blood Indian Reserve at Old Man River. The Dominion government had just finished surveying the •ve, and the Indians were being persuaded to change their roaming-life for one of domesticity. The Macleans learned their language, and tried to teach them the Gospel story, -s. Maclean interested the In-women in sewing. She wrote to her iriends down East asking for o, print, scissors, najadles and "the biggest thimbles you can buy." "Why the biggest? Because the women did all the work, putting up tents and taking them down, cutting wood, and so forth, and their hands were as wide as men's. The men deigned only to hunt." When the thimbles arrived, the women were glad enough to wear them, awkward though they felt, because they pricked their fingers on the print on which they were unused to sew. Cooking also attracted the Indian women, who stood in the doorway of Mrs. Maclean's kitchen to watch her use spices. Salt they had seen, but not pepper. Pie was something new to them, and when she actually gave them a taste, their eyes rolled! But cooking was restricted in the early days. Prices were exorbitant: Eggs cost $7 a dozen in summer and $2 in winter, a sack of sugar was $50-- so "we gave up eating sugar," said Mrs. Maclean. Butter was 50c in summer and $1 a pound in winter. Potatoes were $7 for a 100-pound sack, and even onions 50c a pound.

And the garden was made for people to rest in and to be peaceful and happy and think of--of fairies. The longer you stay, the better you like it. Does it make you think of anything, Mary ?"

Her mother smiled at her | tion. Mary did not know was getting a splendid good taste." Many letters recetnly have enqui ed for some additional facts about Graphology and why it reveals character from handwriting. So the next one or two articles, least, I am going further into this When friend it receive a letter from not necessary to open it know from whom at the writing the envelope is usually sufficient. The style tells us at once who the writer is. We recognise the writer by his penmanship as readily as would by his voice. This shows us very convinci that there must be some sort of nection between the style of handwriting -and the personality of the writer. Another familiar evidence of this is the fact that no two persons write exactly alike, notwithstanding that hundreds of thousands of us learned to write from the same copybook and were taught to form our letters in precisely the same way. Now if handwriting bore no relationship to personality and was not influenced by the character of the individual, we would all be writ-ting the beautiful Spencerian copper-plate we were taught at school. But as it is, not one in fifty thousand writes in this manner five years after leaving school! Each one of us has modified the copybook style in accordance with his individual character. Each one has unconsciously adopted a style of writing that is best suited to his tastes and inclinations,, and has consequently given to it a distinctive character. Like speech or gesture, writing serves as a means for the expression of thought, and hi expressing our thoughts we give expression to ourselves. When once the art of writing learned we are no longer conscious of the mental and manual effort required to form the letters themselves. It becomes, as it were, second nature, to us. It is plai; himself. It personality , therefore, that a per-iting is really a part of s an expression of his characteristic of him as the way he Of course, the style of handwriting does not in every case remain the same throughout the life of a man or woman. A man at fifty may not write the same hand that he did when he was 18 or 20, and if he lives to be 80 or 90 it will, in all probability, show further indications of change. This fact merely emphasizes the relationship between handwriting and personality; for it will always be found that where there is a change of style in a per-' son's writing there is also a corresponding change in the person' himself. After all, there are few of us who retain the same character, disposition and nature that we had in youth. Experience and vicissitudes do much to modify our temperaments, and with such modifications come alterations in our handwriting.' In some people the change in very slight, while in others it is very noticeable. It is only necessary to add the very careful and scientific investigation has conclusively shown that there is a direct connection between the various features of a particular handwriting and the character of the writer. It has clearly demonstrated that one's nature and disposition may be accurately gauged by one's handwriting. Would YOU like to know the truth about yourself?

But while there was a $10,000,000 drop in the outlay overseas, tourists spent $19,000,000 more in Canada, and $13,000,000 more in Mexico than during the last year of prohibition. Amos E.

QUEER WORLD A "truth serum," which makes it almost impossible for criminals to tell lies when being questioned, is claimed to have been perfected by Mr. Leonard Keeler, of the North-West University, Chicago. The criminal must submit to several inoculations with the "truth serum" before he comes under the influence. He then begins to talk freely--and: truthfully. Spiders that live under water: must have air,' and so a wonderful diving bell is constructed. The spider rises to the surface, makes a movement with one of her legs, which causes an air-bubble to form. This she takes down to her home twelve inches or so be.'icath. Up she goes for another supply, until in her nest we see a large silvery ball which contains sufficient air to keep her going for a long time. n electric eel, capable of supply-, ing enough electricity to light a l lamp bulb, is in the aquarium at the Battery, New York.
