In 1925 it became evident that there is a distinot awskening of inerest in the British Isles in Canada as a country for touring and holiday objective.

He had gone down to the wreck of a large steamer and was crossing the main saloon, when two gray shapes of enormous size came ambling towards him. He did not wait to make notes, but gave the danger signal and was pulled up. Tok in the cheerful light of day, it seemed rather a lame story, so another diver went down to see what he could make of it. Toward him ailso came the ghostly gray shapes. He stood irresolute for a moment and then, going boldly forâ€" ward, struck his hatchet throughâ€"a mirror! The ghosts were only a dim reflection of his own legs, much enâ€" larged, of course, as everything is that a diver soes through the great frontal eye of his belmet. Minard‘s Liniment for Chilblains. In England any man living near a pool or pond would be likely to have the reference of it attached to his name. Thus, a man named John, who everybody knew lived near such a place, would be distinguished from other Johns by the name "John atte Pool," the "atte" being eimply a conâ€" traction of "at the." At & later period this "atte" was contracted to "a‘." Thus the name wuold become "a‘Pooi," and finally just "Pool." There is a parish in Renfrewshire, Scotland, named Pollock, and this name is supposed to come from the Gaelic word "pollog," with the meanâ€" ing of a "little poo!" or "pond." It is a safe assumption that the earliest bearers of this family name for the most part came from that parish. lish forms, Poole and Pool, are purely place names, with the same meaning, except that in the case of the Scottish forms the origin es mostly in an acâ€" tual place name, while in the English forms it represents merely the descripâ€" tion of a locality. She turned to the telephone and asked for John‘s number. Ab, well, for them it had been too late! The gods hadn‘t given them their chance of being young and foolâ€" ishâ€"or was it just being divinely wiso? But these other two? And she had often wondered whether he had received her letter. It had not been returned unopened with some of the others. _ She saw now from the postmark that he must have received it the day before he died. "Yes; I‘ve thought hard Jimmy, as I promised you, and we will be married during your next leave. I know we are young, but let us take what the gods give while we mayâ€"â€"" Kathatine sat for a long time thinkâ€" ing. She had forgotten that she had ever been foolish enough to scribble kisses at the end of a letter. It was written in the round, girlish writing which had been hers long ago. The sight of it made her heart grow cold. She opened it with tentative fingers, and read. The Wisdom of Youth. It would be cruel to give that letter here in its entiretyâ€"let it suffice to say that there were many crosses at the ond of it and it was signed "Kitty."

It was a short note, but something â€"another letterâ€"fell from the envelâ€" ope as she read : Out of the Past.
