A silver watch with a five dollar gold piece, owned by Charles Burgess, a neighbor, was also found. Glesson, if that is his name, was] taken into custody on King street,| near Court House avenue, by Con-| stable John Botham.

The figures showing totals for the last three years were given by Mr. Lee. They showed the number of new homesteaders in 1913 to be 938, in contrast to 634 in 1914 and 925 in 1915. With regard to the figures of 1915, Mr. Lee estimated that two-thirds of the settlers brought their wives and families. | Closer settlement has meant an in- a conse- | crease in social life, and quently greater proportion of settlers who are willing to bring their fam- ilies with them. Schools and church- es have been erected, and have been made more accessible by the much greater mileage of highways. A con- servative estimate was given by Mr, Lee of the number of settlers who had come into the clay belt this year, when he ventured the opinion that between 400 and 500 had taken up homesteads In 1915, he declared, fifty per cent more clearing had been done than in the two previous years. Along the Elk Lake branch particularly great improvements have been made. Invents Hand Mine, Another war. invention has just been completed by Brantford's youthful in- ventor, Alton J.

They did the college buildings, then re-entered the auto and sailed away into the country. Billy addressed his companion as Cousin Bess and when they were in a secluded place endeav- ored to take a cousinly kiss, but, wheth- er for propriety or that Billy's manner had passed from cousinly to lover-like, she would not permit. "My kisses," she said, "I'll keep for my fiance." "What fiance?" "Why, the one you have picked out for me, of course." | | "Humph!" said Billy. He was about | | to add," Very well, I'll take one now," | | but thought better of it and refrained. That was a delightful day for Billy, | and he was accorded one cousinly kiss at parting. His conscience doubtless smote him, for when Johnny returned | from the game Billy kept out of his way. However, the next morning Billy | received bis chum's thanks for having | sacrificed himself in taking a girl around instead of enjoying a holiday. Several days later Johmny went into his chum's room with an open letter, "What the dickens does this mean, | Billy? Bess writes me thanking me { for my kindness last Saturday and | says In a postscript: 'Never mind your | chum, Mr. Treadwell. He will not in- terest me.'" "I cannot tell a lie, Johnny. {cousin mistook me for you, { hadn't the heart to correct her." "Well, I like that! And she sup- | posed it was I who was ber attend- ant?™ "She did." "What does she mean'by saying, | 'Never mind you; you wouldn't interest i her.' " | "A strict regard for truth compels | me to say that she's wrapped up in | you." | "Do you really think so?" | Of course Billy's regard for truth | failed in the end, atid he was exposed. | "What does she mean by saying, | 'Never mind you? " { "Why, you see, Johnny, she was so | wrapped up in-- Oh, you can never {tell what a girl means by what she ! says. They are no more to be under- | stood than so many Greek particles." "H'm,"" replied Johnny, unconvinced. "I don't think this case is so unintelli- gible. Bess, supposing that she was talking to me, being really fascinated by that happy way you have with the creatures, tumbled to all the lies you told her and, like a wolf in sheep's clothing--I don't mean that exactly"-- "To tell the truth, Johnny, it was she downed me. Take me to see her for a week end, won't you?" John, with a mock grimace, consent. ed, promising to smooth Billy's way In accounting for his deception. Rut he only wade the matter worse.
