Brian noticed her preoccupation and ragged her about it. "Not planning to léave me again, are you? Going South for good?' "You know I am not going south again," Ruth replied, not telling him, however, that he was "getting warm" as she used to say when playing hide- and-go-seek as a ¢hild "You better not! I'll divorce you if you do." "You don't dare!' she laughed, kissing him. "You'd die of grief in a week." "That's right, T guess I would." Then, seriously, "1 don't know low I ever stood it, that long month, com- ing home to find you away. It was awful, Ruth." "I'll never dare propose it, never!" she. thought when he talked like that. But as the days and weeks passed, Ruth grew desperate. - She had told Brian of her check, a present from her aunt, she called it; and had pro- posed they have a young girl come in and clean up mornings. But Brian had confessed to some debts Clients had been slow, he had been obliged to borrow. He wouldn't have told her, if she had kept still about her check. But it didn't seem right as hie kndwn a nfede of hers contem-| RUTH CONSIDERS TAKING A POSITION SO SHE CAN HAVE A SERVANT. not to pay when they had the money. So Ruth, who knew nothing of debt save that she. viewed it with horror, gave him her precious check. To her surprise, he used it nearly all, giving her back a few dollars, and buying theatre tickéts as a treat, "Did you have to have it ALL?" she asked when he came home. "I told you I had borrowed money." "Yes--but--Brian--how did you expect to pay.ii? Aunt didn't give me that check, ~ although I allowed you to think she did. She paid me for decorating her living room. '| Paid me the same as she would have had to pay a professional decorator." Then: "We can't expect any mors from her--what will you do if you --borrow again?" | "Oh, 1 don't know! the Lord looks after children and fools, you know." "Don't joke, tell me, Brian. What dre we going to do about such things? It seems dreadful to me." "We're paying too much rent, Ruth, for one thing!" he blustered, knowing how mean and small the flat seemed to her, yet not quite rea- lizing either, "You méan--"" "Yes. I mean that we can't afford to pay thirty-five dollars a month rent out of what I earn, and have enough to live on left, in these times when everything costs so much." "But you knew how much you earned when you asked me to marry you." Brian made no reply. "Didn't you, Brian?" "Yes--I suppose I did." "Then how did you expect me, Ts, to live? Did you marry me thinking Aunt Laura would". "I didn't marry you for any rea- son on earth but that I loved youn," something in her-tone cut him. "But A A tN AAAS it is not strange if I thought that a woman 80 wealthy as your aunt would do something for you, seeing you are the only relative she cares for and that you made your home with her." » "Ob,--Brian! I never thought that you---Aunt Laura gave me a wonderful troussean, never stopped to even ask the cost of anything. And" "It would have béeh more senkible Mf she hadn't given you so many fol- de-rols, and had given you the money instead," Brian again interrupted. "I always supposed a man took care of his wife after he married her," Ruth sald slowly, "that he did not ask ler to marry him until he could." "I can take eare of you, all right! You needn't think just because 1 needed that check to pay back the money I borrowed, that I can't But we'll have to cut our cloth according to our pattern. Sunday, we'll go hov-a hunting. We should find some: thi; that would do until I get more business, for about twenty-five dol- lars. That would give us ten dol- lars a month for other things." "You really mean that we myst live in a still poorer place than this?" "Yes. And what difference does it make? You haven't any women friends to be trotding in and out; and we will be together, just the same. I'm sorry I'm not a million- aire. I shall be, some day---perhaps not a millionaire; but a fellow who Is bright always gets along." Ruth sald no more; but that night, when Brian slept, her thoughts took on a practical shape. One that would have shocked tnd surprised him.

Eight Years with a saucy pug nose, was pouring cocoa from a small pot into dimin- utive cups. Six and a Half with a shower of freckles watched the op- eration critically stuffing her mouth with bread and jam the while. Billy Black Eyes took advantage of their preoccupation to Steal sugar with a wet . finger. A debate was B8in progress as to If whether Robin Hood and John Little were at the front. Billy Black Eyes knew that they were. But Eight Years wrin- Kled her pug nose contemptuously and asserted that Robin Hood was- "n't "real, he" was a book." the conversation suddenly jumped from Robin Hood to Methu- selah. Billy Black Eyes didn't be- lieve that Methuselah was as old as the teacher had said, Six and a Half swallowed her bread hurriedly and protested "Teachers don't tell les." Eight Years set down the pot and said loftily "I just think that's noth- ing but German-town-talk." The discussion drifted into other channels but it left me thinking. "German-town-talk"--to them that signified something that was false and unreliable. Merely a prejudice of childhood---but it would stick, as only the prejudices of childhood can stick. ahi I wonder if the German people will over know all that they have lost iw this war. Not only have they lost the good wiil of al! naticny hat they have lost the faith of the little chil- dren.

They will pay a fearful price--the German people--for this blot they have put upon civilization.

Winnipeg, Aug. 29.-- "Wheat cut- ting in Manitoba is in!full swing and the crop in the central part of the province gives promise of a consid- erably greater yield than has been expected," said J, D. McGregor, of the Canada Food Board, in an interview. He has just returned from a trip through the western part of the pro- vince, "The rains during the filling sea- son not only increased the yield of wheat," continued Mr. McGregor, "but improved the quality of the grain as well." From township 12 north the crop is good, and from there south through the central part of the pro- vince it is even better, 'There' has been sufficient labor so far But more men will be needed from now on." CROP SITUATION BETTER. Saskatchewan Estimates Will Pro- bably Have to be Increased. Regina, Aug. 29.--The crop situ- ation in Saskatchewan during the past two weeks, due to ideal wea~ ther conditions, has greatly improv- ed and the former estimates of the total yield will probably have to be imcgpased, it was stated by Hon. W. R. Motherwell, Minister of Agriculture. The improved condi- tions are responsible for a serious shortage of labor and the local gov- ernment employment offices are now cations from farmers for men to assist them in harvesting their grain for wages of $4.50 per day.

London, Aug. 28.--B8ir Conan Doyle contributes an article to the Evening Standard entitled "Peace Must be Signed at Potsdam---Ter- many's Coming Crisis--Prospects ot a Debacle and Revolution." He says: "The war will change very sud- denly from the appearance of a close- drawn struggle to an absolute Ger- man surrender. There are thres absolute essential conditions to a sat- isfactory peace. ' "The first is that Germany shall Too long has she been is delusion must be shattered. "The second is the occupation of Berlin and the signing of peace at Potsdam, in the very hall in which the plot was hatched, "The third and most important of all is that Germany must pay to the last penny the expenses her outrage- ous condiiet has cost the Allies, "This is both policy and justice. She can prepare no other war while she has such a debt, and she will need no army or navy, In 1915 she planned to exact four thousand mil- lions from France alone." Revolution, concludes Sir Conan Doyle, could only bring the Socjal Democrats to the top. "These people have, with a small minority, in the main sustained the German attack upon her neighobrs. We owe them no consideration. Whoever rules Ger- many inherits the fruits of her crim- inal conspiracy against the world."

ASKED FOR ACCOUNTING. Must Tell Expenses and Sales, Basis of Tax. Ottawa, Aug. 29. Farmers throughout the country are being agked by the Finance Department to fill in forms which will give an ae- counting of their operations in 1917 for the purposes of the Income War Tax Act.
