A good dinner, a bottle of good' wine, and excellent music completed the work of bringing Mary back to| normal. Drake helped, of course. He was out to enjoy himself and went to the limit. Mary was amazed at the infinite lights flashed by this man she had seen only as a very rough dia- mond except for that brie: momen: atl his gate, which was not a meeting at1 all. Drake drank a good deal of wine; ‘ not more than would have been usual at home; not more than a gentleman might drink safely; but enough, after ‘abstinence, to loosen him up and make *him sparkle. His laughter was a thing of sheer jollity and fun. ' “Some day you’re going to fall in love, Mary, and you won’t have very far to fail,” he said softly.

A great noise was going on inside, mostly made by one man. And as Drake edged his way in, at the wait- er’s heels, he recognized the voice with a sharp tightening of his nerves. In a. moment he came face to face with Jake Stevens, as drunk as mixed liquor could make him, and ramping “That’s th’ bully boy!” roared Jake, lurching forward and walloping Drake heavily on the shoulder with an open hand. “Tried to dodge me, hey?

So are you, on a shutter!” Jake swung a terrific right fist which split Drake’s cheek like a knife slits a ripe mango, and hurled him .headlong into the bush where Jake’s companion snored uneasily. “You ain’t hurt,” he decided. “You’re a bleeder, that’s all.

As their bodies crashed together, he drove his right and left into Jake’s stomach with every ounce of power and every bit of spring in his body. Jake sat down. with a “whoof” and an “oomp!” ‘ The crowd roared again. Two of them dragged Jake Stevens to his feet, and one gave him a swig of rum.

When Stevens rushed again, fired with fresh courage and ferocity from the rum, Drake jumped to meet him. gritting his teeth and swearing with agony. :There was a fierce flurry of fists. Drake tottered backward under the impact of a punch that all but loosen- ed his head from his spine; and Stew; ens plunged headlong after him, snortd 'ing' and grunting, swinging a finisher ‘in either fist. ~ Drake dodged the rush, recovering only in bare time to sidestep: then1 half turned, swung a right wilt hisl weight behind it full upon Stevens’i ear as he roared past, and that was the end so far as Mister Jake Stevens was concerned. Jake lay in‘ the bishes where .e fell, neglected even by his seconds, while every roaring ruffian bawled proffers of drinks to the victor. “Let me get a wash,” said Drake, ducking through the crowd at the heels of his second. “Can’t you look after Jake? I’m all right. He’s out. No, I don’t want a drink, thanks.” (To be continued.) La. Patrie (Ind.): The Federal Gov- ernmént alone can bring about the change which Mr. Thomas desires in our import trade. And it would not be too much to say that circumstances are now particularly opportune at this moment when the Canadian peo- ple have been disturbed by the threat of an increase in the American tariff. But however convincing Mr. Thomas’ pleading may be, it needs more than his powers of persuasion to modify the current of our importations. There is only one way we can get Canada to buy fore from Britain than from the United States. That way is a change in our fiscal policy. And is it possible that Mr. Mackenzie King and his col- leagues, who have hitherto showed :themselves to be so friendly to the lUnited States, could have roused Mr. {Thomas’ hopes in this matter? La Presse (Ind.): There doesn’t seem anything else to be done but to; declare the entente impossible and to. adjourn the deliberations indefinitely,’ at least until Great Britain’s repre-‘ sentative shows himself more conclli-1 ating, which looks pretty doubtful af- ‘ter the practially unanimous approval displayed by the British people. . . . Does Mr. Snowden care less about {ruining the work of the experts who |worked out the Young plan than he idoes about getting the sums be de- mands? One can scarcely believe it iiand, surely, it the conference fails en- tirely, he wil have to shoulder the re- sponsibility not only in the opinion of other countries, but of the British peo- ple themselves, who have lately been lapplauding him so generously. The Reparations Deadlock i Ottawa Journal (Cons.): It is hard: to see what Mr. Thomas can do in Canada. He may find openings for British capital here, and he may be able to return home and induce Bri- tish manufacturers to open branch ‘itactories here. That would make 101' tmore employment. But apart from lthat, and unless Premier King’s Gov- !ernment decides to ask Parliament for a. vote of ten millions to forward some great state-controlled scheme of immigration. we greatly fear that Mr. ;Thomas wil‘returnhome with little of A accomplishment.
