George made no reply, but I no- ticed a slight scowl on his face. Foolishly I went on: "1 might have gone that way.

"You may as well understand, now, that 1 shall not take you any- where when you have been weeping. If you choose to make a fright of yourself you may remain where my friends do not see you." "Who was that lady with you?" I asked, ready to weep again because of his severely uncompromising tone. "Madge Loring -- none of your business, although it is " The Call to Dinner Interrupts. Just then Annle anpounced dinner and we said no more. But all through the very quiet meal--George scarcely spoke save whon the butler was in the room--I kept thinking of what he had said about taking Madge Loring riding with him. Was it "none of my business," as he had declared? Was it another of those things done by society people, which I had been taught to believe not quite au fait for married people? In our 'little home town it would have been.a nine days scandal for a married man to take out another man's wife, unless his wife also was of the party. But everything in Morelands was so different. People here seemed fo have a code of be- havior totally unlike that of the homefolks. Then suddenly thought: If George could go motoring with his friends, why of course I could also go 'out: with mine! Perhaps sometime with Merton Gray. I start- ed to say something of the kind to George, but just then the telephone rang and I had no chance. "Who was it," I asked when he flashed another returned to the table just as James brought out the dessert. "It was a personal call' George answered, scowling, after 'I had re- peated the question, thinking he had not heard me the first time. * Rebuked and cowed, but also hurt at his tone, | made no further effort to talk. As soon as we finished din- ner he ran upstairs and in an fnered- bly short time was down again dress- ed in his evening clothes. "Good night! go to bed early," he said, giving me one of his careless kisses. Sometimes I felt I would ra- ther he would not kiss me at all; yet, even to be noticed was something--- perhaps. Evidently some one had asked him to go out, when he went to the tele- phone, for he had sald something which gave me to understand-he in- tended to remain home for the even- ing. Carelessly I walked to the little booth under the stairs where the tele- phone for the first floor was installed. I had no intention of using it; no real reason to go there. A plece of paper, torn from the lit- tle pad we kept on the wall, was on the floor where George had either thrown or dropped it. 1 picked it up and, smoothing it out, saw a tele- phone number upon it. Was that where George had gone? I looked through the telephone book, but could not find the number, so 1 cglled up central and asked her to give me the address---I giving her the number. She did so, and to my de- light it was some club. I don't know what 1 expected, but some-way it helped to pass the lonely evening top know that George was with men, and not with---Madge Loring or some other woman. (To be continued) FARMERS BUY TRACTORS ANTHONY RANKIN, M.P.P., VISITS THE FORD FACTORY. Fifty Thousand Tractors to be Com- pleted for British Government by the First of April. A. Rankin, M.P/P. for Frontenac, has returned from a visit to Detroit and the Ford factory at Dearborn, Mieh., where the farm tractors are made. He states that the plant is engaged on a contract for the Brite ish Government calling for fifty thousand tractors which will be completed on April 1st. The .On- tario Govermment has purchased fifty, and a sufficient number will be available for this season's opera- tions on a programme for increased | production. The output of the Ford plant is 50 tractors a day. The farmer does not purchase direct from the manufacturer, but sends his marked cheque to the--Gevefns ment, which must undertake to re- cdive a certain number of machines in order to get any at all. J. Sibbett, of Pittsburg, and F. Murton, Portsmouth, have each pur- chased one tractor. Other farmers 'having a large acreage tillable and unable to secure all the help requir- ed by the old methods will also be purchasers. Any land that is ploughable and is reasonably free by tractor, and the saving in time is of great value; particularly in the spring. 8 FLOOD CAUSES LOSS IN BELLEVILLE Two Hundred People Were Removed i From Homes 'Belleville, Opt., March 26.--The flood situation in this city is still serious.

WHIG, TUESDAY, MARCH 26, 1918. e Interesting Features NEW "TWIN" SOCKS. Can Knit a Pair of Socks on One Set of Needles. Mrs. Frederick Welsh handed into the Red Cross Society last week the first pair of "twin" socks and has been kind enough to furnish the Whig with a copy of the instruc tions which can be used as a guide The top (the purled portion) of each sock must be knitted separate- ly; therefore, knit this top portion of one sock in the usual manner and when that portion is finished take it off with a darning needle on to a heavy cord. Knit in a similar way the top portion of the second sock, leaving it on the needles. Then slip the first one inside of the se- cond one and with the knitting needle take up from first one and thén the other, alternating begin- ning with the first stitch from the needle and ending with the last stitch from the cord. Hold the sock toward you, purling the first stitch, which is from the sock that was on the needle, and knitting the second stitoh, which is from the one that was on the cord; proceed with [irst purl and then knit, holding one thread over the first finger for purl- it not only softens the water but doubles the cleans- ing power of soap, and makes everything sanitary and J wholesome. #4 ing and the other thread over the second finger for knitting, and soon you will acquire a rhythm. The re- sult of knitting the twin socks in this way will be that the right sides of the socks will lie together; that is, the sides which are in sight will be the wrong sides. When you get to the heel, take off as in any sock.- As you turn your heel always purl the one next to you and knit the o r. To nar- row take first and third stitch, purl them and slip the needle out, which [teaves one stitch from the opposite sock, which skp on "to your needle and narrow kn#tting. There is ne slip and bind in this sock, When finished slip the needles out and take up your separate socks and bind off. In purling never put your thread over----always keep it toward you as #f you are purling bakk on your heel.
