LP, Be at j sul ¥ Life," ete. CHAPTER I. The Brunford Town Hall clock was just chiming half-past three as Tom ollard left his home in Dixon street and made his way towards the Thorn and Thistle public-house. It was not Tom's intention to stay long at the Thorn and Thistle, as he had other plans in view, nevertheless something drew him there. He crossed the tram lines in St. George's Street, and, - having stopped to exchange some rus- tic jokes with some lads who stood at 'the corner of the street, he hurried across the open space and quickly stood on the doorsteps of the public- house. The weather was gloriously fine, for a wonder the air in the heart of the town was pure and clear. That was accounted for by the fact that it was Sunday, and the mills were idle. Throughout the week-days, both in summer and in winter, the atmosphere of Brunford is smoke laden, while from a hundred mills stéamy vapours are emitted which makes that big manufacturing town anything but a health resort. Tom was making his way up the passage towards the bar, when the door opened and a buxom, bold-eyed, red-cheeked girl of about twenty-four stopped him. "You're late, Tom," she said. "Am 1?" replied Tom. "I didn't mean to be." : "T was thinking you weren't coming at all. Some young men I know of wouldn't have been late if I'd said to them what I said to you on Friday al Then she looked at him arch- y. "T couldn't get away before," re- plied Tom. Evidently he was not quite.comfortable, and he did not return the girl's glances. with the warmth she desired. "Anyhow I am free till half-past five," she went on. "I don't know what father and mothef would say if they knew I was walking out with you; but I don't mind. Do you like my new dress, Tom?" Tom looked at her admiringly; there was no doubt that, after her own order, she was a striking-looking girl, and her highly colored'attire was quite in accord with her complexion. "Jim Scott was here half an hour ago," she went on; "he badly wanted} me to go with him, but I wouldn't." Tom looked more uncomfortable than ever; he remembered the purpose Soseoht Bockiag Ks Author of of Paper," "Dearer Than 'Published by Hodder & Stoughton, Limited, London and Toronto sweet on Alice Lister; I thought you had given up all that Sunday-school lot." "Well, I have noan been to Sunday school," said Tom. : "Ay, but you're to meet Alice Lister now, and that is why you can't go wi' me." Evidently the girl was very angry, and a look of jealousy flashed from her eyes. Still there could be no doubt that she was very fond of Tom and meant if possible to cap- ture him. "T can't go out wi' you this after- aay and--and------ but there, I'm off. For a moment the girl seemed on the point of speaking to him still more angrily, and perhaps of bidding him to leave her for good. She quickly altered her mind; however, and seem- ed determined to use all her blandish- ments. "Ay, Tom," she said. '"Tha'rt too good to throw thyself away on the goody-goody Alice Lister sort. Tha'rt too much of a man for that, else I should never have got so fond of thee." "Art'a really fond of me Polly?" asked Tom, evidently pleased by Polly's confession. "I'm not goin' to say any more," re- plied the girl. And then she laugh- e "T was thinkin' that after we'd been to Scott's Park you might come back to tea. I don't believe father and mother would mind. Father wur sayin' only this morning that you'd got brains. You took three prizes at the Mechanics' Institute last winter, and he said that if you got manufac- turing on your own, you'd make brass." "Did he say that?" asked Tom eag- erly. "Ay, he did, only this morning," "But I have no capital," said Tom rather sadly. "Father's saved money," replied Polly eagerly. "The Thorn and Thistle's a good house and we have good company; and if father liked a lad, especially if I recommended him, he could easily find money to start a small mill. But there, I suppose you are only thinking of Alice Lister." The Town Hall clock chimed the } three-quarters, and, much as he want- ed to stay with Polly, he moved to- wards the door and said, "Well, I must be goin' now." Again anger flashed from Pally's for which he had set out, and was sor-| ¢yes, but still controlling her temper that he'had called at the Thorn and She said: "Ay, but you'll come back r . j , Thistle at all, even although the girl; this evening, won't you, Tom? evidently favored him more than any of her other admirers. "I just called to say I couldn't come! out for a walk with him to-night, Jim Dixon's coming to tea, and if you're not here, and he wur to ask me to go Y for a walk with you this afternoon," he!

The girl's eyes "You { i | ing." There could be no doubt about it that, to Tom, Polly Powell looked very abe. She was rather older than he, and her beauty was of a highly colored order.

His father and mother had been weavers, and while his mother had ceased go- ing to the mill, his father still earned his thirty shillings a week behind the looms. They id not belong to the best class of Lancashire operatives, and Tom's home influence was not all it might have been. . That was why, ears before, many "wondered that om promised to turn out so well. He was not particularly clever, but he ossessed a large share of the prover- ial Lancashire sharpness and common sense; he had an eye to the main chance, and dreamt of becoming some- thing better than an ordinary weaver. For that reason he had attended some technical classes at the Mechanics' Institute, and, as Polly Powell had reminded him, had only a few months before taken prizes there. Young as he was, a had already been prom- ised a Taékler's job, which meant that he would be a kind of foreman, and have the oversight of a small part of a mill, This, Tom was sure, would open the way to a more responsible osition, and then if he had good luck e might in a few years start manu- facturing for himself. Many of the mill-owners in Burnford were, a few years before, poor men, while now, owing to a great boom in the cotton trade, they were quite wealthy men. During the last few months, however, Tom's best friends had not been quite so hopeful about him. He had been a frequent visitor at the Thorn and Thristle; and he had altogether given up attendance at Sunday school. This was considered a bad sign in Brun- ford, where the great bulk of the re- spectable young men attend one of the many Sunday Schools in the town.

C. A., in the London Times, o eee PLAN FOR NEXT YEAR'S SEED. Select the Best Part of the Field and Give it Special Attention. Of 400 farmers visited in Dundas County, Ontario, by the Commission of Conservation, during the summer of 1916, only three were found to be following a really systematic selection of their seed grain; only 23 per cent. were saving the best part or parts of their fields for seed. Practically all of the farmers visited stated that they cleaned their grain for seed, but it was found that 74 per cent. cleaned it only once through the fanning mill. It is quite plain that sufficient atten- tion is not being paid to the seed grain. It has been shown, time after time, that, other things being equal, with cool boiled water occasionally. Limewater may be used in place of water glass. Make the solution with 2% pounds of unslaked lime in five gallons of cool boiled water.and use the clear liquid after the lime settles. Containers for eggs must be clean and should be scalded with hot water after washing. Eggs preserved in water glass or limewater should be rinsed in clean, cold water and used immediately after taking them from the sclution. They can be used for soft boiling up to No- vember, frying until December, and after that until March for omelettes,, scrambled and in cooking. The Useful Tomato. Outside of such staples as potatoes and beans there is probably no vege- table that is more prized and more generally used all the year around in one form or another than tomatoes. Tomatoes grow easily, but they have an enémy that you must be on the watch for--a large green worm 80 nearly the color of the plant he feeds upon that it is hard to detect it in spite of its size. This must be knocked off and destroyed or sprayed with arsen- ate of lead. Tomatoes can be used in more ways than any other vegetable. For can- ning one must choose perfect fruit in good condition. Dip them in hot water for a few minutes and then re- move the skins, cut them up and place in an almuinum or procelain lined ket- tle and add a level teaspoonful of salt for each quart. Bring slowly to a boil, stirring frequently, and boil for at least half an hour. If you are using the screw top type, immerse the jars, tops and rubbers in boiling water. Remove the jars one at a time, place a/rubber around the neck and fill with the boiling hot toma- toes. Take the top of the jar from the boiling water, being careful not to touch the inside with the fingers for fear of introducing spores into the jar, and screw it on tightly. Invert the jar and let it stand in this position un- til cold. Have everything sterile that is put into the jar. When using a spoon, fork or cup with the tomatoes first immerse it in boiling water. Another method of canning toma- toes is to take off the skins and\drop the tomatoes, as nearly whole as pos- sible into wide-mouth jars. Pack them in until the jar is full and add one level teaspoonful of salt to each quart. Put on the rubber and top and fix the spring to leave the top loose. and allow the steam to escape dur- ing the boiling. In the wash boiler or sterilizer set as many jars upon the false bottom as the boiler will conveniently hold and pour in enough cold or tepid water to come about two inches up on the jar. It is not necessary to have the jars competely immersed during the boil- ing; the steam does the cooking. Put the top on the boiler and set it on the stove; bring to a boil and sterilize for one hour. Remove the top of the boiler, allow the steam to escape and press down the spring at the side of the jar. This will clamp on the top and prevent any outside air from get- ting in. 7 In the vast majority of cases this one sterilization is all the treatment that is necessary, but it is not always safe to rely on it. As relishes and flavorings there are numerous ways in which tomatoes may be used. This year it is not recom- mended that the green tomatoes be used for chow-chow and other pickle combinations, as it is better to let everything mature and ripen so that the supply will go further to meet the great demand.

THE ORIGIN OF CONSCRIPTION FRANCE WAS THE FIRST COUN- TRY TO ADOPT IT, System Developed in Prussia to the Extent of Training the Entire Population. Conscription originated in France in 1798. At that time the country had just passed through the long and bloody war of the French Revolution, which the monarchs of Europe had ~ banded together to crush. France, un- der Napoleon, had come forth victori- ous, but her army was exhausted and it was evident that some new system of recruiting would be necessary, as: voluntary enlistment no longer suf- the best. seed will produce the best crops. It is, therefore, surprising that not more than 23 per cent. of the) farmers were found to be keeping, their best-grain for seed, and that 74 per cent. cleaned it only once through | the mill. If the grain from the best) part or parts of the fields is stored | and then graded or fanned until all, the small and inferior kernels are re-| moved, the quality will be greatly im-| proved. By improving the seed the }net profit on a grain crop can be| greatly increased, such action increas- | ing the yield a little without increas- ing the cost of production. ' : It is not much trouble to keep apart the best portion of the crop for seed. It would even pay to give special care to a special lot or small field from which to obtain seed for the following season's crop. There is, perhaps, no- thing on the farm that will give a more profitable return than the time spent in securing a supply of od seed. Plan now to save the choicest of this year's crop for next spring's seeding. ----_--_.- "e Household Hints for June Brides. Everything's gone up in price.

It was then that General Jourdan brought forth and passed the law es- tablishing conscription. Since then it has been the basis of all French mili- tary legislation, and, to a certain ex- tent, of that of all other countries. It was through the terrible power of conscription that Napoleon was en- abled to carry on the gigantic wars which characterized his reign, and by means of it, after losing in the snows of Russia the largest © army that up till that time had ever been put into the field, to reappear a few months later with another army al- most as large, ut of necessity the other nations of 'Europe were forced to follow France's\| example, and conscription became general. : The System in Prussia.

Conscription in United States. Conscription first made its appear- | ance in the States at the time of the Civil War. At the beginning of the! war in 1861 the whole regular force was but 14,000 men. At first the nor- thern army was increased by | volun- teer enlistment, but the unexpected | prolongation of the war proved this | method too slow to replenish the! waste of the armies, and in 1868 the' Government resorted to a draft, The} first attempt to carry it out met with! forcible resistance, and led to a seri- | ous riot in the city of New York,! which lasted for several days.

Writing to her friends in the United States, a nurse gives extracts from the letters she receives from French soldiers who have been nursed at her convalescent home. Our great source of joy is the de- liverance of our towns and villages. The letters of some of my though often most illiterate, are act- ually hymns of joy. Unfortunately the gist is lost in the translating. One man writes, "What happiness, my vil- lage is now in the hands of our brave French soldiers!" But a pang of anguish seizes him, for he has as yet no news of the family he left there-- old parents, a young wife and four little children--did they remain there through all the fighting, and will he soon see them? Or have they been taken off into captivity, farther even from him than they were before? . .. Many are living through these alternations of hope and fear. Many also have the hope of long months dashed to the ground, and the patient waiting must begin again for them. Another, a more fortunate one, writes: "I wish to tell you that I have found my little family. They were at C---- when the French troops enter- ed, and now we are at last reunited. They suffered greatly during the oc- cupation, but are well now. We will come to see you some Sunday" (this man lost a leg at Verdun. His bro- ther is a prisoner in Germany). Joy and Sadness.

The hospital is outside the town and therefore expos- ed to the enemy's fire. Most every evening German aircraft are flying above us and we can see the effect of the bombs as they fall on the city.

Catchment Areas Being Re-forested to Conserve the Run-off The beneficial effect of proper su- pervision, and particularly of main- taining forest growth, in water-works catchment areas, is being more fully recognized. A recent example is in the state of Pennsylvania, where the Commissioner of Forestry urged the planting of trees on those portions of their water-works catchment areas not useful for agriculture. Favorable replies were received from one-half and, of the remainder, over 100 had no land requiring plant- ing. To those who replied favorably, all planting facilities were afforded, including the services of a forester, and seedlings were offered at bare cost of packing and shipping, about 50 cents per 1,000 seedlings delivered. Applications were made for a total of 446,100 young trees for use" on about 230 acres.--L.G.D. EARTHQUAKES IN JAPAN. Frequent Earth Tremors Interfere With Development of Waterpower. It is well known that Japan has a great number of waterfalls which would be of material value in the de- velopment of the country. But the reason these valuable sources of pow- er are not being developed is because of the dangers of earthquakes, which are constantly confronting the people of that country. More than once within recent years have steps been taken with the view of constructing dams in order that these falls might be utilized- when some demonstration of the earth has given warning of the danger of such a step, and the pro- motors have been forced to abandon or greatly modify the proposed im- provement. sae aes Proficient.
