Here I was snatched from . the jaws of death and restored to him, a dutiful, loving wife, and his first thought was to hurry away without me to a dinner party. 1 co not help. thinking that I was the. perso last . considered in his P arrangement. Had he wanted merely me he would have been content to have me and me alone in the hotel that evening. dnstead, he wished to rush off to the Reguiers. = Surely it could not be 5 eagerness for me to meet his friends. There was some ulterior motive and it was not hard for me to find it, My thoughts went back to bis letter and to his radiant de- scription of Therese Regnier. She 'was the one who was calling him that might! I was aroused from my reflections by Mr. Gordon's deep voice, He was telling me: not to judge the city by the glimpse I 'was obtaining on my wiy to the hotel, "For," he said, "you will find it mare beautiful to-morrow." I thought I detected a double meaning in his words. I fancied he was trying to cheer me with the sug- gestion that on the morrow life would have assumed a more pleas- "ant aspect; that my little misunder- standing with 'Arthur would be a thing of the past. Of course, I was prepared to for- give Arthur immediately. All that 'was needed was a contrite word from him and the strangeness of his . ) ould have been forgott- en. 1 would have been content, I 'would have forgiven the insult to me cand would have considered myself Jon Mere the happiest roma alive. ut h ve no sign of contrit: 5 mo IR. He was hs civil in his replies to three questions which Mr. {I told him of which was closed. Gordon, from a desire to relieve the situation, put to him. When he ar- rived at the hotel he bade my two friends a brusque au revoire and led | me away to our rooms, | I had determined that \f he want-| ed to go to the Regniers he could go. | 1 was keenly disappointed, but I| felt that to spend the evening with | Arthur under such circumstgneces| would be a greater punishment/than to be alone, Therefore, whfn we had been in our rooms a few. that I was tired wished to retire. "But I do not want to spoil your evening," 1 told him. "If you have an engagement, keep it." When I insisted upon his going. Arthur protested but weakly.

"You and your Uncle John very good to me," I told her, '" He has been worrying about you," she went on, "He did not say anything, but I could see that he was anxious. He sat with me in my room for a long time, I have seldom seen him so grave. He did not mention your mame, but 1 knew what he was thinking about. He was thinking about you." A slight moan escaped me as 1 realized the humiliating position in which Arthur had placed me, Was it possible that the tender affection which he had shown me back in our former home was all gone?

Hardly have we viewed one landscape before another greets our eyes, and the former one is for- gotten, The sweetness of one friend- ship makes us forget another's bit- terness.

Ontario Government is Completing Organization. of Big Scheme. One of the significant signs cf stability in the midst of the war struggle is the manner in which the different departments of the Ontario Government are continuing the or- dinary routine of administration, and al the same time laying careful plans t6 deal with the added problems that are sure to arise as the war draws to a close. 2 The war necessarily called a halt to several important projects that had reached a stage when actual work was about to commence. Not one de- partment of the Government but was obliged to suspend or curtail oper- ations to some extent. This was par. ticularly so in the case of the. high- way improvement program. It might be pointed 'out that the scheme initiated by Sir James Whit ney three years ago for a prowince wide system of highways had been enacted inte law. A million dollars has been set aside to start the im- portant work. The former Highways Branch of the Public Works Depart ment has now been enlarged into a Department of Highways under a Deputy Minister, who has taken over the administration of the Motor Vehicles Act the licensing of automobiles as logically coming within the scope of this work. The failure of the Senate at Ottawa:to pass the Highway Aid bill has not fected the policy of the Provincial Government towards "highway im- provement, new department has gone ahead completing its organise- tion and making a survey of site uation all over the Province. Until the dislocation caused by the war has passed away and monetary conditions become normal it is not expected that many counties will embark upon a program of highw construckion, especially while. their money raising efforts are absorbed with war grants. But this will not prevent much necessary and good work being dene on | i roads. These roads ave feeders to J the main county roads, and unless they are proj e 3 tly maintained the ef- ficiency of the whole scheme will be impaired. this. as a beginning it goes on at a good earth road is the first step towards a good grdvel or Hone road , and ihe Fatious Klages iy 0] are brie eseri ed. Bepa tions are devoted to earth roads, tile dainage, gravel roads, and worki ingfams are in- {cluded to make plainer the descrip- tions given. ; After all highway * betferment is largely a matter of common sense and co-operation. The Government has come forward ii. a large handed | way to assist the rural communi. ties to improve their roads. It will bear a considerable portion of the cost of eonstruction in counties; it will pay part of the salary of a town- ship road overseer: and it will con. tribute a portion of the annual cogt for maintenance of improved county roads. But to insure the best return to the people for this investment those having to do with road maintenance must be instructed in their work. For two years now a conference of road overseers and superintendents has been held early in the spring in the Parliament Bujldings where in. structive papers were read and road problems discussed The best ox. perience in road construction and maintenace has been reduced by the department . to available form for these men, and the next few years | should witness a great movement to- wards highway betterment in Op- | tario, This is in harmony with the reneral advance that is taking place in agriculture. The labor problem | has forced. the farmer to use more | machinery, the Hyvdre ctric as it is extended will further simplify this | diffienlty, the motor ear and telephone brings the farmer nearer the centre of population, and the centres of population as well nearer the farm, ! and the connecting link is good roads That 1s the economy of the whole thing. p= Refused to Make Munitjons. Canadian' prisoners in Germany were sentenced to a year in jail by the Germans for refusing to make war munitions, according to a letter re- ceived in Ottawa from Corporal Tan | A. Simons, formerly a prisoner in Germany, and ndw transferred to the interhment camp in Switzerland. He writes that Corporal Harry Hogarth, if Ottedva, is one of those who refus- xl to make munitions, and it is ex- pected he will have to serve The year's | sentence which has already been im- posed upon him. Steps have been | taken to bring it before the author- ities, so that it can be investigated, 18, according to The Hague tribunal. | prisoners of war are not to be called upon to make munitions, Big Ore Shipments.
