"Christopher has had two whole cupboards of toys on the floor by his bed," she said. “He wants none of them." _ "Well, can't you sing to him, or play with him, or something?" He jerked out an " elbow irritably and brought the bag of golf sticks rattling to the floor. Helen watched him grab them up again before an- nihilating his Somewhat trite sug- gestion.

Really, he ought to be corrected, speaking of his elders in such familiar terms." _ An embarrassed look came into Corbett’s face at mention of his wife's name. He saw whither Helen’s re- marks were tending, and began to 'Muster. She proceeded with deliberation, eyeing her victim between half shut lids\the while. ' “Well?” he remarked tentatively. "I don't know what you will elect to do, I am sure," she announced, and a subtle exultation in her J21ao- ner added, "I am going to put you in .a difficulty, and I've made up my mind beforehand to disapprove of any line you take." "I'd no idea it was so urgent," he As Helen entered, Gordon Corbett was lounging with his feet half across cthe hearth, and his golf clubs beside him, smoking a last cigarette before. setting out for an afternoon on the links. He was a fair, wholesome type of English manhaod, and Helen in her less acid moments was not unlike him. ' Having been made feel uncomtorfi' able herself, she determined to seek compensation tor it by causing some- one else the game sensation. For this she sought her brother, Chris's father, "izhose household she had managed this six .months Iuy,ws--that is to' say, ever since the unaccountable split by. tween the latter and his irresponsible young wife. He repeated the words with grow- ing satisfaction in his voice, as if they solved a problem that had long battled his childish understanding. .But Aunt Helen rose hastily. She did not even wait to give him the 'reckthat.passed muster tor a "Kiss, but with a sidelong glance at the hot, flushed little face upon the pillow. she escaped from the room. "But I want it," he persisted, with a little tremble of the lower lip. "'Arid I want Katy,' too," he added after a moment's pause. "Yes, Katy, too." "That's not the way to speak to your aunt, Master-Chris. Now keep your arms in the bed, and lie quiet dike a good boy." vChris curled himself into a semi- »circle and allowed the woman to straighten his rumpled bedclothes. At the unexpected mention of that name, Aunt Helen-tor she was aunt to Chris-this severe piece of woman- hood alrnost.jumped in her seat, and very nearly blushed, which was a thing she never did, except for. the failings ot others. [ But the well starched, "reliable" 'nurse interposed. / "Don't you know Chartin ?" he demanded, a world of puzzled wonder in histone, "Why everybody knows it. Fetch Katy. She knows it.” Chris turned restlessly on his pil- 16's. Raising himself on his elbow, he leaned in the direction of a rigid Indy who sat on the edge of a chair W the tire. “Charmin. I want Chartin," insisted dhe. little voice imperiously. BY MARGER‘ET M. BAWLINS Chris pressed his little hot palms together amidst Katy's trims and laces, and as he tip-toed over to the fireplace Corbett noticed that she clasped her own hands together be- hind the child's back. Then her voice Softly he mounted the second flight to the nurseries. In the first one he found his wife outdoor wraps thrown loosely on the table --sumptu- ous turs, big black beaver, the ex- quisitely cut coat and tiny gloves. He lingered by them just for the joy ot touching them. How he had missed her! He left it now as we realize how great a, pain has been in the re- action of relief. His fingers encoun- tered the fluffy surface of the beaver. How her hair had glowed and nestled under its sweeping brim. Corbett glanced from his wife to his sister eagerly. Katy hesitated a moment. "Oh, yes, I remember. Put Four hands together, darling." But the souiid of Chris's voice drew him no further, and he crept to the night nursery door. Katy’s back was to him as she knelt beside the bed, but Chris was in his mother's arms and she was smothering him with kisses. It seemed the child would tall asleep so, bat the baby voice, weary but triumphant. broke the Bil- ence. "Katy, say 'Chartin.' " Corbett waited to give a few in- structions to the servants, then he, too, followed in their wake. On the landing he picked up a handkerchief and put it in his pocket. "Katy always dropped things," he reflected with a smile. That seemed to reassure her. She nodded, stretched out a hand to him with an impulsive gesture; her eyes smiled. Then, without a word spo- ken, she followed Helen up the stairs. She paused a moment on the door- mat as if uncertain of her reception. She looked from her husband to Helen standing expectantly by the staircase, with one foot on the first step, evidently waiting to ascend. "You got my bett anxiously. She was rather earlier than they expected, and as the door opened he had a momentary fear that he might find her altered. Wives who separate from their husbands don't improve in the process as a. rule, but he saw at once she was not coarsened. Just the same dainty vision as ever, but with a wistful, added softness in the expression of the sweet blue eyes and rosy mouth, In spite of the shadow of death hovering over them, his heart bounded with :gladness and re- lief. He thought of her so mulh trom this moment till the time she arrived on the bleak Sunday afternoon fol- lowing that he felt almost self-,tton- scious as he went to meet her in the hall. He left as though she must see "I've been thinking ot you" written large all over his face. a passion of anger, sweetly penitent, or ,2. vision of motherhood, hugging the child. She took possession ot his heart and aet its chords vibrating as many a day she had set the nursery echoing when she romped and played with Chris. ‘So he thought on and on, surren- dering himself to reflections, for he was of those proud, strong-willed na- tures whose refuse to let their minds dwell upon the unsatisfactory periods of their life, but the image of Katy once .admitted was not to be worsted. Bonny, chestnut haired Katy! If he had refused to think ot her, she had her revenge now. He recalled her happy, he recalled her tearful, quaintly serious, taatalizingy gay, in And now she was coming; she would answer his summons. If only it would restore her to him 11% could be almost willing to lose Chris, and he nevitrealized how much he trea- sured Chris till he lost Katy. So she had left him without pro- ceedings or scandals for an indefinite period, and he had no notion when, it ever, it would please her to come back. .He would not acknowledge to himself the _possibility of "never," nor would he admit even that he miss- ed her, but under all his stubborn., ness he could/not help hoping to find her each evening as he came home. if he~had got angry, and pleaded, and stormed, and expostulated, he would have kept her, but hurt pride tor- bade. He would not bend to ask her reasons for going, nor offer to justify himself in her sight, Ile simply let her go. Perhaps if he hadn't been so very sure that he was right in everything, well, no doubt things would have gone better. But he grew accustomed to Katy's outbursts of rebellion, and always, though he didn't know it, relied on ihe child to hold her firm. Till one day that anchor proved in- sufficient. Katy calmly told him that her aunt was goging a tour in Italy, and she intended accompanying her "tor her health." He remembered how mischievously her eyes had sparkled as she added demurelyq, "tor my health." He wondered whether Both young, and neither very for- bearing, she and he had been taken with each other, and had entered gaily into matrimony some five years ago. It hadn't been quite a success, he reflected, but it hadn't been all' a. failure, neither had he been alto- gther so ill-used as he had first thought. Six months of Helen had opened his eyes to several good points in Katy’s character, and if the lat- ter’s demands had occasionally been irrational, .her light-hearted company had been a joy, He made sure that a wire would be handed his wife immediately on her arrival and despatched the mes- sage. It would be Sunday afternoon before he would be able to reach the house in Kensington. Then he re-. turned to his study and sat down to think. you "I've done 'it. They're expected home to-morrow middle day." .She did not say that the worthy physician had spoken his opinion in no measured terms, had in fact or- dered her to send at once for the child's mother, but her brother saw that she was thoroughgly frightened, and her alarm communicated itself to him. “Ring up her aunt's.

I never got any wire about anything, but when we got back to England I just came straight home." She clung to him now, letting up her face tor his kisses. ' He would have kissed her, but her eyes stayed him. This was no child- wife, but a woman with a heart, awake. "It hurts when you ask that, Katy, But yes, my darling, yes." me ?" "I always loved you," he said at last, each word coming very slowly. He held out his arms to her. "I haven't altered. You won't leave us again. Chris and me?" He had taken up his position on the heart-rug and little more than his side face was to her now. He saw that she had mistaken his meaning, but Just for a second he would not undeceive her. He ‘turned round and looked at her, so lovely in her silent dis-tress. breath Something made his voice queer and deep. He had left his place at the table; she, top, was standing. . "And you?" she said breathlessly. “I have not changed either." "Oh, there," she said, with a shy half-laugh, "I" always was a huge eater. You see,- I haven't improved a scrap." "No," you have not changed, Katy," he said slowly. She kept her attention severely to the eatables, though she felt that her husband made only a pretence of eat- ing and was watching her all the time. no longer. She pushed her fiate away. With an access of color Katy be- came aware that she had taken the end of the table as in former days, but as a whole it Was a very silent meal. Luckily she found herself really hungry, which dispensed with the need of immediate conversation beyond "May I pass you so and so," "Let me give you another slice ot this," etc. She was relieved to find Helen ab,.. sent when she reached the dining- room, and the supper table looked in- viting after her scanty tea. Corbett made some confused apologies for Helen’s having retired to bed early; he dismissed the maid who came to wait on them, and the two sat down alone. Katy glanced at Chris sleeping peacefully on his pillows. She was more than halt reluctant to go down. A formal meal with her husband and sister-in-law, each one of the three oi them watching the other two, she had no mind for, and she must not betray herself before the time. "The master says you’re. to go” down for some suplfer, mum. I'll 1 stay up here." "Gordon, are you sure you want So she watched out hes happy vigil, the nurse moving noiselessly in and out at times. After a long absence the 'woman stole in and touched her on the shoulder. ‘But now she remembered none of these details. She only knew that ‘she had been miserable during the whole six months' supposed pleasur- ing. The love of husband and child, outraged by her desertion, had risen up and rent her heart with longing. She had arrayed no pride and a whirl of excitement to fight against it, but what she had most dreaded was her husband's cold, calm face. For a long time one thought had had pow, er to steel her 'agfg,rt,1/1-.l,0,e,i,,yr heart. “He let me g without a word, like a servant giving notice," she would murmur, “he doesn't care." "Ahl" At last she could avoid his gaze Her thoughts not unnaturally ran back over the past six months, but a deep contentment, plus a. little be- wilderment, took possession of her as she realized she was once more at home. How could she ever have left it was what she asked herself? What 'a wicked wife and mother she had been! Gordon had been com, and hard, and self righteous with her, but she permitted herself no such excuses now. Instead, she went to the other extreme, and did not allow for her aunt's malign influence in the mat- ter‘her aunt, who had disapproved of her marriage-trom the, first. It her petulant anger against her hus- band had not found a ready and willing listener, subtly widening the breach, and suggesting retaliating moves, it was more than probable that Katy would have kissed and forgiven that last time, as she had done a dozen times before. “In...“ "That's Char-tin," he murmured drowsily, and put his head down again/and fell asleep.

Sale was made by J, A. Willoughby, Georgetown. The automobile gives health and wholesome recreation to millions of people, extends the business and pro- fessional ranges of men, widens and deepens social relations, plays a, big part in the modern transportation sys- tem and gives employment to thous- ands of men in Canada alone. An agency that performs such desirable l and valuable functions is not a lux- _ ury. It is an essential in modern, econ- omical and social life. It is impossible to play a money value on the extent of the needs supplied by the automo- bile. It has brought us good roads, efficiency in industry, better wages; and a higher standard of both labor and pleasure than'the world knew be- tore the invention of motors. Peo- ple have been induced to move out in- to the rural sections, thereby increas- ing the value of real estate. Cana- dians have been given a chance of ob- taining fresh air also the scenery of mountain, lakeland and prairie at a moderate cost. The man who uses an automobile every day spends little time reflecting on these things. Yet he will appreciate the usefulness of the motor car in modern life the mo- ment he asks himself this question-- What would I do without my car? Signaam-a of Always bears For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years CASTOR IA THE AUTOMOBILE A NE- CESSITY NOT A LUXURY There is a. note of hope and of joy in Manasseh's sad story, however, Old and sin-hardened as he was, when he turned to God in humble penitence he was forgiven. tn" his last years he cast out of the temple and the city the heathen idols he had brought there, built up the altar of the Lord and offered sacrifices thereon, and commanded Judah to serve the Lord. It is a wonderful truth that there is no one who cannot right- about-face and ceasing from evil learn to do wall, awwswu. "Every action of every, man has an ancestry and a posterity in other lives. The strains of life have power to spread. A hundred years hence we all must live again-in thoughts, in tendencies, in influences, perhaps in sins and stains in other lives, Oh, it were worth living a holy and self- denying life, were it only to join the choir invisible of those mighty dead who live again in lives] made better by our presence."---"- Drummond condensed from "The Ideal Lite." "Sin is infectious, contagious, ma- Iarious. It cannot be restricted to the person committing it."---) Wesley Johnston. t _ Manasseh was twelve years told when he began to reign. It seems that he began to do evil at that early age and kept on doing evil tor many, many years. It was only. after a life of evil-doing that he repented. He was pardoned then, but he could not undo the effects of sin upon his own self. But Menasseh had not marked his soul alone. Sin never does stop with the sinner. He had led Judah away trom loyalty to God. Do you think that one can live a lite of sin and it will not matter if only he re- pents and is forgiven , at the last?: What of the evil that has been) wrought, the wasted days, the silent, unseen influence that has been used so selfishly? The prophetical writers often speak of the igzlatrous practices of the peo- ple with the greatest scorn. They point out how much Jehovah had done for His people, how He had 'saved them from slavery in Egypt, how He had brought them to the Promised Land, how He had destroy- ed the nations before them in that land, how He had promised them great blessings if they only remained faithful to Him. It is true literally true, that the refusal of great privi- lege works corresponding ruin, and that those who are better than the heathen in opportunity become worse than the heathen if that opportunity is ignored or rejected. This was true in the days of Mihasseh; it "is true to-day. It is notorious that the crimes of Europe are darker than the crimes of Africa. We often warmly congrat- ulate ourselves that int-fanticide, can-1 nibalism, head huntinf, and so forth, are so far away from us, but we are startled from time to time to find the bloodiest tragedies perpetrated at our doors. We see throughout the history of Judah that the people quickly follow- ed their king. Hezekiah had led them onward and upward. Under Manas- seh the process was reversed. Two weeks ago we learned how Jerusalem was saved from capture by Sennacherib. That was during the reign of the good ' Hezekiah, un- der whom religious life in Judea. reached a very high level. To-day we are studying the reign of Mannas- seh, who succeeded his father, Heze- kiah, at twelve years of age. Sad it is that we cannot continue the story as it was begun by Hezekiah. Young as Manasseh was, he went astray, and his long reign of fifty-five years was a time of great deterioration in the religious life of his people. He adopt- ed the worship of the heathen nations about him; rebuilt the high places tor worship which his father, Hezekiah, had labored to destroy; erected altars for the worship ot false Gods; wor- shipped the heavenly bodies; dese- crated the holy temple with heathen altars; made his children suffer in the heathen rites he practised; broke the covenant which God had made with His people, for its blessings depended on their keeping His laws, and led Judah astray so thatlthey did worse than the heathen nations.
