A cat and mouse game she played for two days with the silent Chinese woman nursing her. The woman had discovered the necklace, and Lucille knew she was constantly after it. Out of the delirium of fever she fought remembrance of all that had happened since Hugo Loubeque drag- ged her back in the boat, recalled viv- idly from the subconscious brain that had attained ascendancy during that harrowing period, his tender nursing of her. his denial, his stern self mas- tery when the blazing sun, the thirst, the hopelessness would otherwise have compelled him to give up the fight; and then the fishing boat, the blessed relief of water. the breaking of the fever and consequent repairing of burned out nerve tissues. the arrival in this house and the spy’s leave taking. Instinct forced her finally from the lethargic slumber, the instinct common to all higher forms of animals of pro- tecting one's treasure. Her hands groped at her neck, where a slight tug had wakened her. Something brushed across her hand when she forced her eyes open, the figure she remembered to have seen in the corner was still squatting there, a figure that might have been inanimate save for the burn- ing eyes fastened upon her. Nervously shefumbled at her neck, the feel of the ruby necklace meeting her fingers and puzzling her for a moment before it started a chaotic chain of recollec- tions that finally marshaled themselves in semblance of order. In her delirium Hugo Loubeque was constantly ministering unto her slight est want. soothing her with tender words. a veritable Goliath in fighting back the hordes of imps that would have tormented her. Always was he by her sideâ€"always until the mantle of blackness completely reached out and swathed her. soothing her to nntrou- bled slumber, a slumber disturbed but once and that when Loubeque stood before her looking down at her with a light of mingled happiness and tri- umph in his eyesâ€"a look that brought dimly back to her the memory of cer- tain things yet to be accomplished, but which she had not the strength to com- pletely recall, a look so transitory that when she fought her eyes wide open he was gone, and she was conscious of be- ing in a strange place, a black figure rising from the corner. then slumber once again.

At times she thought she would be unable to stand it longer. that she must reach into this endless expanse of ocean and drink-drink: that she must plunge over the boat’s side and allow the salt water to be absorbed by her body. “Last night when I discovered the keg was empty.” Louheque said reas- suringly. “I started working out our reckoning.

This question has been asked on many occasions. It is made up of two representatives from each of the Farmers’ Clubs in the County of Grey. They hold their annual meeting in january and elect their of ficers. The object of the Board is to promote Agriculture in the County and make the merits of the County as an Agricultural County known to all. The Officers for 1914 are: CHAIRMAN, ng. Brownlee, Ravenna: SECRETARY-TREASURER, '1‘. H. Binnie, Priceville; OTHER MEMBERS OF EXECUTIVE: H. U. Breen, Tara, R. R. No. 5; j.E. Dolphin. Tara; J. Moffat, Bognor and H. C. Duff, District Representative, Markdale. As early as 1911 Grey County apples were winning at the large Fairs in the Dominion. In that year Mr. Robert Batty secured first prize on a box 01 Gravensteins at the Ottawa Exhibition. We have in the County some land that is just as well, ll not better adapted to fruit growing as they have in other Counties, and these victories show that our fruit, grown on these lands, has quality excelled by none. v I " I ' ‘ ' ."""â€""'J ‘- VVVVV on an apple exhibit at the Toronto National Live Stock and Horticultural Show. This was done and the prizes won were as follows: In the class for the best single box of Spies, we won third prize third prize in the 100 box lot, first and third on barrels of Kings, and third on a barrel of Spies. Grey is not Considered a good apple county of Ontario. but this shows that we can and do grow fruit: that will take its place with the best that is grown in other portions of the Province. In 1913 the apples were not as good as they usually are and therefore the winnings are all the more creditable. V -vv yv [jun In 1913 there “:ch in the County of Grey 14,056 acres of orchard, beside 303 acres of small fruits and 1,670 acres of garden.
