E. A. ROBINSON, Weston CONCRETE CONTRACTOR ll. GRAHAM xxx-wag); at the right price, get in 3rd Ave.; Westmount lhe next winter the new ‘own'er wended his way southward to make improvements .on the property he call- ed his "southern home." Dona, being iery ladylike and sensi- tive, did not ask him about his family life. (He had excellent references) but she had the idea that he was a widower, with a" sister keeping house for him . Instead of that, when the facts were known, a bachelor, with an aged mother, a nurse and a trusted housekeeper to look after the home, whether he 'w-as at home or down south. ' After telling Dona this he felt bet- ter.' And being ambitious, he intend- ed, if possible, to make her his wife. He loved her. He had a northern home and money and would divide the time between, And had employed a. couple, that had worked there in his father's time and knew Dona well, to still look after the home. C Unevday he had a serious talk with Dona, which so surprised her she could not speak, as is the case with deep natures), However, gentleman that he was, gave her time to unfold her thoughts, esteem and affection, like the opening of a rose. And, of course, he won in time. Nothing worth while is won in a rush. Many men propose again and again. The chase is worth it. And the woman thinks more of them every time. The home being far too large, Dona became quite a busines's woman. _Re- taingd what help she-required; and in winith' took in as many tourists as could be accommodated and looked after. ' . Complete' independence had come to them, most deservedly, and when quite settled, life was lived easily in order to recuperate after all that had hap- pened m her young life. And little Dona wa's growing and attending school. Public opinion-had it that "the lawyer had robbed the family and re- ceived his just reward," which proved to be correct when the matter was thoroughly looked into. The beloved home'was restored to Dona and her daughter. a balcony and store-room besides'. Enough Ior the two of them, the two Donas. V . , He had studied Dona. (in a man's way), when she little knew about it. And being a woman of fine qualities, he looked up to her, though she was much younger. _ _ Among the tourists one winter was a wealthy northerner, who uttered her, such a price for the home, that a Fe- fusal could not be made. But, with the understanding that three rooms conic. be reserved for themselves with Is the, contract not far above a mere business proposition? If the man thinks that Way about it he is not worthy of heing a husband. One evening they walked and talk- ed. He told her about his affairs and why he had never married, though middle aged and more. However, strange happenings can occur, and the lawyer died very sud- denly; and shortly after his widow and son moved into their new home, the son was thrown from his horse and killed. And the mother added to the fatalities by taking a stroke which end- ed her life. . 'Twas a balmy, beautiful moonlight night, the birds were twitting, the mocking birds singing, and the air sweet with blossoms.. Twas ideal! Fancy any man talking love in the day time. It would never affect a Southern nature, that loves sentiment, warmth, romance. Never! Never! Gradually 'business matters were settled in such a manner that the lawyer had manipulated for himself and felt justified in claiming the old home of three generations of the fam- ily even before the two Donas arrived. Sad, but true, all were killed within a year, followed shortly by the devot- ed mother. As they said, the latter of a "broken heart." The tremendous strain and shock having been too severe for that tender, petted plant of southern nobility soil. Only the bright-eyed Dona, now a young widow, and dear little Dona, after her mother, survived to represent the family, and brave life's battles alone, ‘but the grand character and the firm strong will were there as a foundation. Retracing their steps, they sat in the garden on a rustic seat. Old as it was, Dona spoke of that particular seat, Iver-arched with hon- ey-suckle and in front a magnolia tree with a table around it. The memory of Im afternoon cup of tea, oh so many times served there, and much more came before her. Sweet memories! "Tell me later about it," said the northerner, Mr. Charles Clawson. “But right now there is something on my mind, and only one answer will satisfy me. You Dona," he said for the first time, "have been thinking too. Do I deserve? Yes or no?" I She sat silently for a moment, then with a quivering voice explained, (widows understand more so and want to be sure before speaking) that, if it would be agreeable to him for' her and little Dona to come south to their old home, they would be satisfied to go north to his home most of the year. Harold's father left his stately home to act as colonel of his regiment in the war. And clinging to him as the ivy to the rugged, stone wall, went also numerous and sacred home mem- ories. The son and son-in-law did their "bit" as surgeons, one' helping the other. J The next year, war, in its terrible wake was arranged for. A hurried wedding also was consummated of Harton and Dona. Charles told Dona how he had studied her, thinking of her as so much above the average, and fairly _ Back Harton came during the Puletime holiday. And one evening, standing under a bough of mistletoe, the betrothal was plighted, a ring giv- en and congratulations received from the family, servants and old mammy, who said, with tears in her eyes, "God, bless my honey." The son studied and graduated in medicine. The summer of _Harold's graduation, his chum, Barton, also completed his medical studies. To- gether they went to visit at Harold's, and while there, fell in love with the only daughter, pretty Diana Dona. (Don for short). . A long driveway to the home, with great knurled oaks on either side, the branches forming an archway over- head. In a fine, old southern colonial man- sion, with its great piazza and pillars, lived a. family and prosperity reigned. 'Twas in the 1mte-benum regime, when help was plenty and living a real joy. Before and After the War (E. J THE TIMES AND GUIDE, WESTON Sq,vage-Helliwell) The attention pf the holders of the five and a half per cent. war loan boggids maturing December I, 1922, is directed to the offer of the Minister of Finance to renew the loan on fav- ourable terms. The last Cnadian loan was placed in New York at a satisfac- tory price. The Minister is making his present, financial operation entire- ly a domestic one by offering to ex- change the maturing bonds, for new bonds bearing the same rate of inter- est, running for either five years or ten years as the bondholder may pre- fer. A further inducement to the in- vestor is that he receives a bonus of one months interest. Tht" terms of- fered are decidedly favourable to the investor and it is probable that a large part of the maturing loan will be re- newed. Arrangements for the ex- change of the bonds can be made 'at any branch of the chartered banks. Holders who do not wish to reinvest will be paid in cash on the 1st Decem- her. A Concession To Home Investors In offering to renew the five and a- half per cent. Canadian Government bonds maturing December lst at the same rate of interest as is carried by the maturing bonds, and allowing a. bonus of one month's interest, the Minister of Finance is making a mater- ial concession to the Canadian investor, Though Dona's mind admired and practiced simplicity, yet certain pre- parations were made, and when com- pleted, proved great satisfaction. One beautiful, mellow, moonlight evening, in the quaint old garden, "the garden of love," for that was the third wedding. _ t The bride in lavender, while Dona's frock was of a paler shade, both be- decked with orange-blossoms, gathered by themselves in the same garden. ' When the service ended, the clergy- man placed the couple on the romantic seat, whereon he had seen the bride's parents seated "years before. The friends and life-long help gath- ered around the magnolia tree extend- ing _good'wishes; from the table‘of which was served the buffet-lunch. And little Dona égxclaimed, "There is my new daddy. d love him." The groom smilingly replied, while he took her in his arms and kissed her, "And this is my dear little daughter, whom I love." groom snnlmgly replied, while he took her in his arms and kissed her, "And this is my dear little daughter, whom I love." C The happy family went North to their new home and the next winter found them back in their dear old "SOUTHERN HOME." as this rate is higher than was paid on the recent Canadian loan in New York. The high class of the security, which is the very best that can be of- fered in Canada, and the liberal rate of interest should lead to large invest- ment in these Dominion bonds. Atten- tion is direited to the official adsrer- tisement giving details. THE GOVERNMENTS CON- f _ VERSION SCHEME ' The figures made public at Prince- ton showing the earning capacity of the class of 1912 will no doubt excite a special interest. Members of this class received an average income last year of $6,750. The largest income re- ported was $50,000, which was made by a manufacturer, and the lowest was $3,525, which was earned by a teacher. A college which can exhibit a class with average earnings of $6,750 ten years after graduation, has justified itself of its curaieulum.--N. Y.

In the meantime he had lost his best friend, his mother; and the housekeeper had taken charge of the home. The nurse was no Jong- er needed. The years had indeed brought changes and a,1so freedom for the realization of future plans. It was a sorry "au revoir" that was spoken one evening by Mr. Clawson to his' sweetheart and her little daugh- ter, but they waved good-bye, believ- ing that before another year had dawned they would meet again. And little Dona even missed him. And, in fact, from her (years after) the first of this tale was heard, near that same spot of ancient beauty. Sometimes just a few words spoken by another, or a little silent jaunt'talr- en will appeal to one sufficiently to produce that which may be, perhaps, readable to others . 1'hen someone also hearing and seeing the same might notfgive a sec.ond thought to either. A man who_treats'his mother well is generally good to his wife. Both are women. C The new Coliseum which will be used for the first time by the Cana- dian National Exhibition this year has 81/2 acres under roof. The judging ring, which is larger than Madison Square Garden, has seating accommo- dation for 7,600 people. Before his return to the North to- wards spring, Charles and Dona un- derstood each other about as well as an engaged couple can .They were both sensible enough to talk about what interested them most and would in the future. Both went to little Dona and kissed her) then parted until sometime the next day to,resume their conversation. Congenial conversation is a delightful pastime, but a rarity at the present time. Charles replied, "Your father and grandparents were Sdutherners. How- ever, 1 am an American like your late husband, .50 know how to treat a wo- man. And if I do fail, pray tell me, dear." To which Dona replied, "But you are a Northerner and of a colder make-up, but 1 love y6u -and trust you." "So often life goes in cycles," said Dona. "The third is the charm," laughed Charles. He kissed her three times, telling her, he would strive to be as tender and true as the ones be- fore him had been. It was an effort to explain that they called it the "Lover's Corner," For her mother accepted, her father while sitting there years ago, then came Harton, her late husband, and herself, and now----. Charles kissed her. ' quirlcing for fear "Yes" would not bc her reply. They were happy, acting tut smug. Then he asked he): to tell him more about the rustic seat, with its lovely surroundings.
