Asin his tales of the West this story abounds in hu , heroism and tenderness----and again, as in the Western books, this one is the dramatic recital of an eve-witness, for Ralph Connor is now as then the beloved Sky Pilot, the friend of ranchmen and of soldiers--a great leader in the cause of freedom and human Pri 31. 50 copy Price At Uglow' S barbed wire entan Yet the outposts of STUNNING RHINESTONE BAR PINS Diamonds mounted in exquisite platinum bar pins, are pieces that can- not be surpassed--but these designs are dupli- cated in silver and mounted with rhine- stones, and the effect is pleasing for an inexpens sive bar pin.

Douglas McCallum. To one of Kingston's best known young men came the honor on Friday evening of lending up Princess street the first local unit to return Trom the firing line. Captain Douglas Mc- Callum, son of Mrs. 8. F. McCallum, 187 University avenue, modestly wearing a Military Cross that was placed on his breast by the King in », 1917, #8 this quiet hero, ana he tried 10 become uncon in the crowd that gathered park to hear the civic welcome, there were crowd who came Kingston- who early sp ous im Artillery speeches of many people in that to do honor to him as a ian, a friend and a man in life has made good. Captain McCallum is known or rather was known to his boy friends as "Duke." He was looked upon as a quiet good-natured fellow who we pawular but best pleased if left with the crowd. To-day he wears his rank badges and his decorations with pride and dignity but in the same quiet, good-natured way. Captain McCallum left his studies at Queen's to take an artillery short course in August, 1915, going overseas the following October in command of a draft from the 34th Battery, He crossed to France on New Year's Day, 1918, transferring to the 25th Battery, 6th Brigade. He won his captaincy and his decorations for work in the field, holding the com- mand of the 45th Battéry at the last, his The Story of the Trip Over. The men deeply appreciated the manner in which they were received by the headquarters staff and the cizens of Kingston. Despite the severity of the weather and the low- ering of the temperature during the afternoon there was no disposi- tion to modify the programme. Hun- dreds of tne relatives and persgnal friends of the men early assempled at Tete de Pont Barracks and only the military police who were station- ed at the entrance prevented the throngs that lined Ontario street Irom storming the barracks to catch the first glimpse of the Loys as they filed through to the appointed place in the Square. Mothers, sisters, wives and sweethearts broke into the line as they recognized the ones they sought, 'the boys all looked well despite the long journeyiand were in the besi of spirits. They struck up @ good pace in the parade which took place after Brig.-Gen. Williams' speech in which he told them that all who de- sired it could obtajn immediate dis- charge. A Kingston member of the party } praised in the highest terms Captain Hayes of the S.5.

The Troops Filmed. The Pathe News Film Company were on the spot with their cameras, operated by Blaine Irish and S. B Taube, and tqok several "shegots" of the reception. They snapped the reception committee as it left the city halt, and also secured several pictures of the crowd at the Tete de Pont Barracks, and of the de- training of the battery boys. Un- fortunately the repeption took place rather late in the:'day for the 'tak- ing of a complete film of the whole proceedings, but everything up to the departure of the parade from the barracks was photographed These pictures should be of great interest to Kingstonians, and they will be shown exclusively at the Strand theatre, commencing on Thursday bf next week.

Junction With Usual Big Picture Show, According tc the announcement of Manager Branigan, of the Grand Op- era House, theatre patrons of Kings- ton will have the bpportunity of sce ing in the future some of the populs ar) priced vaudeville that is holding sway, in many of the larger Canadian and' American cities. A. J. Small, pro- prietor of the Grand, has completed arrangements for a new policy for Kingston. Commencing next Thurs- day, and to continue from that on, | | | this attractive playhouse will present P a4 programme that will be far ahead of the usual standard for Kingston and will consist of three high class! pictures that have always been the! feature of this theatre. Aside from the advantages that the theatregoers' will derive from this substantial com-! bination if the way of meritorious' attractions, an outstanding feature will be the fact that people can ge- pend on the statefhent that only the very best type of vaudeville obtain-| able from the best of the westérn| circuits will be procured and also the! fact that the pictures will come from producers whose names are known the world over. This fact alone will be' a value that should prove an advan-! tageous drawing card as the Kings- | ton theatre patrons are always on' the lookout for the best and anything' out of the ordinary is patronized by everyone. So hereafter the new pol-, icy of the Grand will be better shows' of a higher quality for the approval of people who appreciate quality. { In pursuance with this policy the first change will be oh Thursday,' April 3rd, when the feature picture will be "The Cavell Case," an au- thentic preduction of the case of Edith Cavell, and will star the well- known stage celebrity, Julia Arthur.
