EA, wt OF A fo _-- De Ca Nl i REE " Wo bs ro I Han @ hrach fram the Garren" Dre w. T. Macoun, Horticulturist B Prof. C T. Currelly, in the Toronto Mail and Empire Some years ago a brilliant writer, the late Peter. McArthur, said, "Isn't It time that we Canadians stopped paying, 'ten't it good for Mary Anne'?" I suppose this habit 'is a bang-over from one eavly daye of struggle to pro wile. the simple necessities of life: put it is certainly time that we looked et €Capsdian affaire "from a warld standpoint and said. "lsn't it good for wyhady in any country?" This habit would perbaps vot have tene us quite <0 much harm if we bad peen isolated, but we have been de ged with newspapers, magazines and books that are partly propaganda for ihe greatness of other peoples and the wonderful men tha' they have pro- duced. | suppose, for instance, that ell upper school children in Canada snow something about "the American wizard . of horticulture," Burbank: © of the things they know azhout him are onirne How many know ahout the late Dr. W. T. Macoun, Canadian hor- Henlturist, who without question has done more for horticulture than Bur- bank? But Macoun was a hard-work- Ing Government official on a small salary and never thonght of advertis- ing himself, and unfortunately we have not vet reached that stage of onr patiénal development in which there is full recognition of outstanding eclenmrific work done at home. One reason why our achievements ip horticulture have not gained move publicity is that many of the big things have been done by men gener ous-enough to share thoroughly with their-associates. The important fruits _produced.at Vineland have never been rejzed -npon by tbe head of the station as. his- production, Among.those who Leow of. them they are always spoken of as, "by Palmer and ais associates," or more _ commonly still, simply es "produced at Vineland." Predictions are risky but i should like to chance a statement that the _ Melba apple will be grown and valued long after nearly every other -recent Beate sn in horticulture will be for gotten--and the Melba is only ove of Macoun's great apples. The best col lection of bardy apples in America was brought together by him at the Ex. perimental Station at Morden, Mani- toba; he wes a servant of the. whole Dominion and worked as much for the Prairie Provinces as he did. for the hest fruit lands of th: country. ; Vegetables, fruits and flowers all re sponded to" the touch of his genius in breeding, . His wonderful develop ments of pers are known to the few who are scientifically interested, as is bis incredible development of lilies in respect to the number of Aowers borne , upon them. In the profession, of course, Dr. Ma- coun's p itton was very high. One of the greatest honors accorded him was that the New York State Fruit Testing Aseoclation named its choice apple the Macoun, Many medals were awarded ti. his productions, including th'e Grande Medaille de Vermefl from the National Society of France, a gold medal struck by the International Ex- position of horticulture at Brussels for the Melba apple alone, medals struck by the American Pomological Society to commemorate the Melba apple and the Lobo apple, another of Dr. Ma- coun's productions. The frst award of the Carter Gold Medal of Honor for the Advancement of Horticulture was to Dr. Macoun, and many otber similar honors showed the appreclation of the scientific world of his work. I feel sorry that Dr, Macoun's name is not knoWn to every Canadian school child. Some years ago | was very much interested to hear a Jepanese student speak: of a certain. compatriot as the greatest blacksmith in Japanese history, and to find that the childrep of Japan are taught about their great workers. | sincerely hope that the movement pow on foot in preparing some of our school books will develop, so that throngh these books Canadian children will know about those Cana- dian men of science who have merited world recognition ~ "Changing S Stations" In British Army Now is the Time When South" ~ ampton Witnesses Many Farewells "This is the busiest time of year at Southampton.

Jean Graham and her brother, Euan, stay on the Riviera with Geoffrey Win- top and his wife, Doreen, who leads Euan on to gamble at the Casino. Jean coaxes him to go to Paris. He ipsists on seeing Max de Laurier before they leave. NOW GO Ow WITH THE STORY. What on capt was Euan doing up- stairs with Max de Laurier, she won- dered, and fell to analysing her dis like of the man. He was clever, peo- le'said, and rich, A good many peo- le seemed to know him too, although ot =o many of the English colony erhaps as the French and American, But that had nothing to do with it. It was something more individual, more personal. The way his eyes rested upon her, for instance, linger- ing upon her face with a strange smile in their depths, as if she was amr open. book fo4hem which they were reading. Her tiresome of him, she thought restive- ly. The next thing would be that he would want to stay to lunch, espec- ially if de Laurier asked them. That she determined to resist, It might be unreasonable, but she could not help it. As she sat there, a dark, olive- skinned man wearing a carnation in his buttonhole and very glossy patent leather shoes canie into the hall. As his eyes roved about the lounge, they alighted upon Jean and rested there. In a moment he moved over to where she sat, and drawing his heels to- gether, bowed. "You are thoughtful, celle?" he smiled. Jean started and looked up. "Oh, Monsieur Guardi. 1 am wait~ ing for my brother." iii "You are waiting? Then you per- mit--?" He pointed to the empiy chair at the other side of: the table. Jean was not especially charmed, for this was another of Euan's ac- quaintances for whom she had no great liking, She had been introduced to him one night when her brother had not been too sober, and she had felt' ashamed for him. Monsieur Guardi has not seemed to think any- thing of Euan's hilarity, however, and had made himself especially attentive to her. "Of course," murmured Jean, "Will you smoke?' She passed her last cigarette, which without hesitation he took and smoked. It was twenty minutes before Euan, followed by Max de Laurier, came out of the lift, and Jean's patience was sorely tried. The Baron's dark eyes lit up with a strange fire as they fell upon Jean, and his brow was scarely less than an obeisance, "Mademoiselle, will you do me the honor of lunching with me before you start?" "Thank you, but we must really be ofi. We ave very late already," she replied, moving away. ~ Euan followed protesting. "I say, old girl, we'll have to eat somewhere." But Jean was firm. 'An extraor- dinary feeling was possessing her that 'unless they hurried, they would never get away from Monte Carlo. "Come on, Euan, or I shall go with- out you," she called out, stepping into the car. With a comic grimace of resigna- tion, the boy climbed in beside her, saying laughingly to the Baron: "Damn whoever it was gave women the vote!" De Laurier smiled his regret. "Perhaps in Paris then," he whis- pered. But at last they were off, gliding up the hill past the gates of Les Palmiers and along the wall of the Villa Mar- guerite where Mrs, Gorst lived. There were few cars on the road that morn- ing and the Buick sped along the Cor- niche in, a cloud of dust. Euan was in his theery mood and whistled as he drove. "Where shall we Jean after a while. *"Can't think why lunch with Max." "His food would choke me," she gaid rather vehemently; then he burst out: "Hang it all, what's wrong with the fellow? He's greasy and smells of hair oil, but what of it? He has pots of money and a free meal is worth having." Jean found the discussion futile and said: "Mind that dog, Euan." Her brother grinned and swerved as near the beast as possible, "It ought to be extinguished for having a tail like that." Jean looked down at the Mediter- ranean spreading below them to the horizon like a soft blue carpet and wondered why she felt so depressed. Euan had assured her, rather impa- tiently to be sure, that he had left no debts, which was a gieat deal to be thankful. for, and he was safely out of Doreen's clutches, but she felt i -- = VIKING GOLD SYNDICATE Owning 1,000 adres one mile west of NORANDA: Write for information, 330 Bay St, Toronto Mademoi- lunch?" asked you wouldn't coffee came and the minutes}. passed, - Still Evan did not eome, How | heavy and incredibly disappointed, Sighing, she turned to her brother, Euan, who was leaning over the. side trying to locate a squeak in the bodywork of the car, did not 'reply, so reaching out, Jean put her hand into his pocket and felt for the box of fifty Amroths which, he usually carr' 1, He did not notice her action until" he heard her gasp of amaze- ment. "Kuan!" Jean held the box in her hand and stared at the lovely rope" of pink shaded pearls which lay there, She could not understand; felt stunned. She had expected 'cigarettes, but pearls--? : "Put that down, curse you!" cried Euan, suddenly in a blind fury. Jean merely stared. A deeply waor- ried frown gathered. between her eyes, but it was nothing to the fear within her. That was sickening. "Where did you get them?" she ask- ed in a scared voice, "Mind your own business," Euan snapped. Pearls? , . , How had Euan come by them? . . . Jean felt paralysed. « « + horrified.-- She could not think. . . . t "But Euan--" Almost insane with rage, the young man made a grab at'the box in his sister's hand. In doing so, he took both hands off the wheel. "Euan, look what you are doing!" she shrieked. But' it was too late. Left to its own devices, the car swerved sideways, 'erashed sickeningly into the mountain side, 'rebounded, ran again to the charge like an infuriated robot, bat- tering its metal head against the re- sisting rock, then with a horrible lurch it turned over, and'lay a twisted mass of iron-and splintered wood. | That morning Jerry Grant had been over to Cannes, and as he drove back to Monte Carlo along the' Carniche road, he thought of the girl he had met the previous night. He would probably be late, for lunch and Dan would curse him, but he didn't care; his thoughts of *Jean Graham were all too alluring to hurry over. But he realised with an impatient sigh} that they were rather useless, seeing that she had left that morning. "Rotten, isn't it, Julia?" he remark- ed aloud to the large white bull dog whe occupied the seat next to him. The beast snorted and raised adoring eyes to her master's face. o"I've never niet a girl I like so much."; Grant.added; for:Julia. made' a sympathetic listéner, and had the advantage of never gossiping. He remembered now that he had seen Jean Graham once in the Rooms and in company which puzzled him, A dis- sipated youth had been with her, and a man whom he knew to be a certain Baron de Laurier. Indeed, his atten- tion had first been drawn to her by the incongruity of her company, The girl had so obviously been well bred and was young and attractive and well dressed, whereas the man had looked- what with insular prejudice he termed a '"dago." He had been in- terested enough to ask who the man was and learned that he was a French- man, rich and a constant visitor to Monte Carlo. When last night he had been intro- duced to Jean he was not surprised to find that she hailed from his own country. There was something of the softness of Stotch mist about her, something quiet, which made him thifik of the silence of woods and the purity of open, windswept moors. He had been surprised, too, to find that she was staying with the Win- tons. He knew Geoffrey Winton, a silent, red-faced, golfing man, and liked ..im well enough, but for Doreen, his wife, he had little use. His friend Dan Washburn with whom he was staying at the Villa St. Juan, called her a "Hot Dame" or alternately a "Riviera Jane," and whilst he would nth expressed his opinion somewhat differently, he agreed with them. But what, he asked himself, was Jean Gra- ham doing in that set. Ea Grant glared down at the Mediter- ranean and at the white dots which were the houses of Monte Carlo in the distance. By his side, Julia yawned. "0, su you think she's none: of my | business, do you?" Grant addressed the dog. "Well, if she's not, why can't I forget her? Tell me that." Julia, however, appeared to be bored with the whole subject and curled down to sleep with her broad back toward Grant. Lost in thought, the young oan drove slowly along the beautiful road, but suddenly he sat upright and peer- ed before him. What was that lying in the road? Pressing his foot on the accelerator, he shot forward, all the while staring apprehensively ahead. It was. soon clear to him that it was an overturned car which lay at the side of the road, and as he drew up, put on his brakes and jumped out, he ex- claimed: "Yor, what & mess!" Hurrying to the spot, Grant gazed indeed frightful, B ; : whined piteously and, began to snuffle' at the broken oddmente which lay strewn in the dust. | © "But where are the people?" he | O'er the little country paper printed in the heart of th Hans | Dlagrict Jublie oftéring § 325 A By ly Noa ily zccessible; Extensive Find dian Mines have more than .doub ticipate in Canadas' touyn, an 1604 Roya) n 18 months.

No doubt, some- one had been by and probably had given what assistance was necessary. He laid his hand on the battered and leaking radiator, and; to his surprise, found that it was hot. "The sun, I suppose," he said, but broke off, for Julia began to whimper loudly, and dug violently with her paws at the wreckage. Grant knew enough not to ignore the dog, guessing that she had found some- thing, moved round to where she was. "What is it, old girl?" Julia looked up, then began to scratch at the chaotic mass of wood and ripped upholstery. Bending down and moving a seat, Grant saw a piece of yellow material then an arm.
