"That boy; in some strange way he has been the means of bringing me to see things as they are--which not even Linder could do. The mind has to be fertilized for the thought, or it can't think it. He brought the necessary influence to bear. It was like the night at Murdoch's house, the night when the Big Idea was born. Surely Lowe that to Murdoch, and his wife, and Phyllis Bruce" The name of Phyllis Bruce came to him with almost a shock. He had been so occupied with his farm and with Zen that he had thought but little of her of late. As ke turned the matter over in his mind now he felt that he had used Phyllis rather shabbily Grant lit a cigar and sat down to smoke and to think. The mat- |ter of Phylis needed prompt set- tlement. It afforded a means to if anything should happen to him while he is under my care." He felt a sense of warmth, al- most a smothering sensation, and raised his hand' to his forehead. It came down covered with per- spiration. : "It's amazingly close," he said, and walked to one of the French windows opening to the west. The sun had gone down, and a . brooding darkness lay over all the| valley, but far up in the sky he could trace the outline of a cloud. "Looks like a storm,' he com- mented, casually, and suddenly felt something tighten about his heart. He 'turned to his chair, but found himself pacing the living- room with an altogether inexpli- cable nervousness. "Darn Linder, anyway!" he ex- claimed presently. "I believe he shook me up more than I realized. He caught me with insincerity, me, who have always made sin- cerity my special virtue...... Well, there may, be something in rhe. A faint, indistinct growling, as} | of the grinding of mighty rocks,} | came down from the distances. "The storm will be nothing," he assured himself.

"I must stay up,' he reasoned with himself; "I must be on hand in case he should be frightened." Suddenly it occurred to Grant that. quite apart from his love for Wilson, if anything should hap- pen the child in his house a very difficult situation would be creat- ed. Transley would demand ex- planations -- explanations which would be hard to make. Why was Wilson there at all? Why was he not at home with Sarah? Sarah away from home! Why had Zen kept that a secret? .... The gale subsided as quickly as it had come, and the sudden si- lence which followed was even more awesome. It lasted only a moment; a flash of lightning lit up every corner of the house. bursting like white fire from every wall and ceiling. Grant rushed to the whim-room and was standing over the child when the crash oe thunder came upon them. The boy stirred gently, smiled, and settled back to his sleep. Grant drew the blinds in the whim-room, and went out to draw them in the living room, but the sight across the valley was of a majesty so terrific that it held him fascinated. s Turning from the windows, Grant left the blinds open. "Only cowardice would close them," he muttered to himself, "and surely. Linder has attributed to me, Iam not a coward. If it were not for Willie I could stand and enjoy it" Presently rain began to fall; a few scattered drops at first, then thicker, harder, until the roof and windows rattled and shook with their force. The wind, which had gone down so suddenly, sprang up again, buffeting the house as it rushed by with the storm. As the night wore on the storm instead of spending itself quickly as Grant had expected, continued unabated,, but his nervous tension was gradually relaxed, and when at length Wilson was awakened by an exceptionally loud clap of thunder he took the boy in his arms and soothed his little fears as a mother might have done. They sat for a long while in a big 'chair in the living room, and ex- changed such confidences as a man may with a child of five. After the lad had dropped back into sleep Grant still sat with him in his arms, thinking... . ; And what he thought was this: He wa sa long time framing the exact th t; he tried to beat it graphic excellence. les of carel shoot once."

Fortunatély the situation was cne that could be explained-- to Phyllis. He had told himself, back in those days in the East, that it would not be fair to marry Phyllis Bruce while his heart was an- other's. He had believed that then; now he knew the real rea- son was that he had allowed him- self to hope, against all reason, that Zen Transley might yet be his. He had harbored an unwor- thy desire, and called it a virtue. Well--the die was cast. He had definitely given Zen up. He would tell Phyllis everything... That. is, everything she needed to know. It would be best to settle it at once--the sooner the better. He went to his desk and took out writing paper. He addressed a note to Phyllis, pondered a min- ute in a great hush in the storm and wrote: "T am sure now. Dennison" This done he turned to the tele- phone, hurrying as one who fears for the duration of his good re- solutions. He gave the number of Lin- der's rooms in town; it was likely Linder had remained in town, but it was a question whether the telephone bell would waken him. He had recollections of I.inder as a sound sleeper. But even as this possibility entered his mind he heard Linder's phlegmatic voice in his ear. May I come?

More towels are needed for the bathioom, and the kitchen floor could certainly stand a coat of paint. The children need shoes. The car will soon need tires. Well, we buy a hundred new things every year. Scattered throughout Canada are manufacturers who make the very things we need. Their products are on sale in certain stores within easy reach. Certain of these products, aad certain of these stores, are espe- cially fitted to take care of our special need. But which products and which stores?
