BER TRUE NFERPANC E Elida Linn hastened up the hil from the factory. Noel Catr was a long distance behind her. Shp, saw him as she glanced back after turn- ing the corner, and it came to her that he was looking paler and thin- . mer than ever. He had not been well since an attack of grip the fall before. He crossed the street and went into the untidy house where he boarded with his aunt. who came to the door at his approach. At least Elida had clean food and lodgings. The woman with whom she boarded was neat, if poor. At one time it had seemed impos- sible tg Elida that she should ever be working in a factory. She had had dreams of music and success. Then her father received the injury from which be died, and her mother, bro- ken down with nursing and sorrow, followed him, leaving Elida uuproyi- ded for. She was 24, slim and supple and tough as a stell spring. Every week she entered a fresh jtem on her sav- ings bank note. By and by she meant to leave the factory and go on with the study of music--and succeed. Mrs. Mulvaney called her to sup- per and she ran down stare. "Such a hot day as it has been," the land- lady remarked. 'I'm sorry for you, deary, that you ain't got a cooler place to work in." ; "I'm no worse off than the oth ers," Elida replied. "And 1'm stron- ger than most.!! "That's so. There's Noel Carr, now. I doubt if he stands it long. I'd lke to see him married to a sound sensible woman as would give him a decent home and look after his little sister for him. There's that clock striking again." "It's too fast," said Elida, glanc- ing at the rusty timepiece. /A letter leaned agalut it, and with Jsurprice she thought she could redd her own address upon it. "Was there any mail for'me today?" she asked Mrs. Mulvaney gave a cry 'There Was, too! A letter! And here I is! Elida had opened the letter and was staring at the single typewrit ten sheet. "Read it quick," she saiu to Mr. Mulvaney, who had just come in, "and see if you can understand it." "You've been left some money You've been left $3000 out and out." "Threé thousand dollars!" scream ed Mrs. Mulvaney. Elida was rosy as the dawn. Her eyes shone. "Oh, it seems too good <0 be true," she gasped. "Thre¢ thousand dollars--three thou--No, I don't want any supper 1 don't want. anything. but to get away and think." She rushed out upon the porch She wanted to get into the open air. Her heart was going like mad. Vis fons glittered before her eyes. She could leave. the factory. There would not be another day at that racing, powerdriven machine for her. She was free--=free! She would hire a plano and begin to take lessons. That meant, of course, she 'must leave Mr. Mulvaney's. There was no room in the Mulyaney's house for a piano. exides, it was better that she get into, a locally where there were other than jorking people. Marble street! She would take a room there and manage some of her meals and get the others at that smart little cafe or corner. Sure- ly her old knowledge of music would come back to her and her fingers gi- ven proper rest, would unlimber quickly. Presently the fever of joy®in her began to subsjde and reason came. It was evening mow, and the meon was coming, cool, and white, to look into the narrow little street of shab- by houses. The dew was gathering gently-and easing the burning heat Mr. Mulvaney and Mrs. Mulvanoy leaving the front pore to their boarder, sat on the back steps and talked over the strange happenings of Ellda's inheritance. Elida was a lone. All up and down the sireet people were sitting out of doors talk ing and cooliug themselves. Elida could hear the voice of Noel Carr's aunt, loud and disagreeable, as she gossiped with a neighbor.' A man came up the street léading # little girl of eight. The child dan- ced at his side and chattered up at him. It was Neel Carr and his lit tle sister Elsie. Elida let him get almost by house before she" called to "Noel is that you?" "Yes, Elids," There was the quick ness of joy in his movement as he turned and came toward her. "Elsie and I were {aking a little stroll, 'It": a beautiful night isn't it?" "Sit down on the steps," Elida said 'Elsie, you sit next to me." As the child obeyed Elida gavé a little cry 'Oh, Elsie where's your hair?" "Aunt Mate cut it off." the child answered. Noel said nothing, but Elda felt indignant protest rising within her. "It's a shame," she said. "Her hair was such a glory. Why didn't you say something, Noel." "Oh," he said, wearily, could kgay?"" Elida drew the little girl to her protectingly. "Never mind. It will grow again." she replied, soothingly. Aunt Mate says it never shall. "Hush, Elsie," Noel said, gently Je changed the subject. "Elste - is teasing to take plano lessons. What do you think of that?" "Elsie!" Elida exclaimed. All her own good fortune flooded bark upon her. What would Noel say when che told him? "Well, are you going to the him "what Lesrons Rn RR LOVELY FQR Exquisite evening gown Uictorial Review bodice, No. 5366.

But the "poor beast" had shown unmistakable signs of leg weakness to the trained eye of Brigadier-General F. L.

And so all day long the unbroken string of comments ls maintained as horee after horse is led by the small group of men with heavy sticks and sharp eyes.

Just outside Toronto the British Government has established a mart for the recruiting of army remounts and this station has become the most important depot of its kind in the British Empire, but-for German spies to hear everything that is said behind the newly-built board femees might possibly cause fresh international complications. It has often been said that it is much harder to reinforce am army with horses than with men. This is well Borne out by the difficulty that the British army commission is hav- ing in choosing suitable horses from tho thousands that are submitted at the Union Stock Yards. "An army horse is one horse out of a huidred." Gen. Lessard paused for a moment "between horses," as it were, to an- swer a few questions on choosing a horse for the army. "In Toronto we are nurchasing horses for both tavalry and artillery. A cavalry horse must be light, but solid. He must have a good deep body, one that will hold plenty of food. A horse that needed feeding every four hours wouldn't last a week in active service. He must have, as well as depth of body, good staunch legs; well boned, but not so heavy that he is not agile, for a regiment is just as fast as its slow est horse. He must not have the slightest semblance of a weakness in| his legs and he must not be so tall that he makes a screen of his rider and shuts off the view of the man behind. "Artillery horses are of six kinds) light Borse artillery, field - arti)- lery, and heavy artillery, each divided ipto 'leaders' and 'wheelers.' "If I think a horse fits into any of these classes then, as far as I am concerned, he may be purchased The rest is left to the doctor, who looks into the phygical filness and condition of the horse. Age is an important factor in de- termining the suitability of an army horse He must be neither old nor voung, but he must be well seasonpgd. | A four-year-old, however staunch and suitable he may appear, must not be bought, as his muscles are noi hard enough to stand the strain of service.

Just this; that you, as representing the average Canadian citizen, can square off your account with our army of factory workers, by making sure that at least 55 cents worth of the things you buy, in your ordinary every day shopping, are made right here in Canada---the, country that gives you your own living.- That sum, 55 cents a day, equais $200 per year. There are 8,000,000 people in Canada. If for the support of every one of them, there was spent $200 a year on Canadian made goods it would give us a factory output of $1,600,000,000. : : Back in 1910-11 Canada was enjoying pretty good times. but the total factory output then was less than $1,200,000,000. You can easily bury the hard times of to-morrow under the coppers you spend on odds and ends to-day, just by using a little intelligent discrimination, by saying to the shop-keeper.
