Reaching the summit of a gentle, grassy slope, she met a tall, lean man dressed in a sober, gentlemanly fashion, who was walking in the opposite direction. He was a strangér to her and yet in some vague way ho did not see mquite a stranger. Miss Arabella drew rein. _ "I think I know you, sir," said she.

"And why do you thank me for it? It was my uncle who bought you." "But he would not have done so had you not urged him. I perceived "But if you are not a rebel, how come you hers?" He saw the thing she apprehonded, and ho laughed. "Faith, now, it‘s a long story," said he. "And one perhaps that you would prefer not to tall." Briefly on that he told it her. "What an infamy!"she cried, when he had done. "Oh!" Ske stared at him, bridling a little "You have a good opinion of yourself." "On the contrary. The others are all worthy rebels. I am not. That is the difference. I was one who had not the wit to see that England reâ€" quires purifying. I was content to pursue a doctor‘s trade in Bridgeâ€" water whilst my betters were shedâ€" ding their blood to drive out an unâ€" clean tyrant and his rascally crew." "Oh, it‘s a sweet country England under King James! There‘s no need to commiserate me further. All things considered I prefer Barbados. Here at least one can believe in God." Of the fortyâ€"two who had been landed with him from the Jamaica Merchant, Colonel Bishop had purâ€" chased no less than twentyâ€"five. same Colonel Bishop‘s brotherâ€"had been a kindly, chivalrous, gentle soul, who, brokenâ€"hearted by the early death of a young wife, had abandoned the Old World and sought an anodyne for his griof in the New. He had come out to the Antilles, bringing with him his little daughter, then five years of age, and had given himself up to the life of a planter. Prospering, he had bethought him of his younger brother, a soldier at home reputed somewhat wild. He had advised him to come ou to Barbados. William came, and was admitted by his generous brother to a partnership in the prosperous plantation. Some six years later, when Arabella was fifteen, her father fanship. One day toward the end of May, when the heat was beginning to grow oppressive, there crawled into Carâ€" lisle Bay a wounded, battered English ship, the Pride of Devon, her freeâ€" board scarred and broken, her coach a gaping wreck. She had been in acâ€" tion off Martinique with two Spanish treasure ships, and although her capâ€" tain swore that the Spaniards had beâ€" set him without provocation, it is diffiâ€" cult to avoid a suspicion that the enâ€" counter had been brought about quite otherwise. One of the Spaniards had fled from the combat, and if the Pride of Devon had not given chase it was probably because she was by then in no case to do so. The other had been sunk, but not before the English ship had transferred to her own hold a good deal of the treasure aboard the Spaniard. Steed, however, after the fashion of most Colonial governors, was willing enough to dull his wits to the extont of accepting the English seaman‘s story, disregarding any evidence that might belie it. Therefore he gave the Pride of Devon the shelter she sought in his harbor and every facility to carsen and carry out repairs. (To be continued.) grass "How come?

This was the greatest monthly outâ€" put in the history of the industry both in number and the total sales value. The previous high levels were estabâ€" lished in May, 1926, when production totalled 24,834 cars and in April, 1927, when 24,611 cars were made in Canâ€" ada. For the first five months of the year the cumulative production of automoâ€" biles in Canada totalled 107,600 cases valued at $68,211,082. This marked a gain of 4 per cent. in quantity and 9 per cent. in value over the 103,127 cars valued at $62,685,152 made durâ€" ing the corresponding period of 1926. The apparent consumption of autoâ€" mobiles in Canada during May amounted to 26,2%53 cars as deterâ€" mined by adding the imports of 5,916 to the production of 20,338$ made for sale in Canada.

"Well credited authorities claim that from 30 to 60 per cent. and higher of cancer is curable if diagnosis of this condition is made early.

Chair of Canadian Literature muct peri One of the first lectureships in Canadian literature, perhaps the very first, has been announced by the Uniâ€" versity of British Columbia, Vancou ver. Dr. Charles G. D. Roberts, poet and prose writer, the author of many books, has been appointed to the posiâ€" tion. This is an encouraging forward movement, and Dr. Roberts has exâ€" prossed his satisfaction at the recogâ€" nition thus accorded to Canadiaa writers. The work will mean Dr. Roborts‘ roâ€" sidence in Vancouver for part of each year, but will leave him free for the remainder to devote himself to his writing. On his mother‘s side, Dr. Roberts is a distant cousin of Ralph Waldo Emerson. He was born in New Brunswick, just six. months beâ€" fore Ernest Thompson Seton was bora in Durham, Eng. Both men have become noted for their annual stories. One of Roberts‘ teachers was Dr. George Parkin, beadmaster of the Fredericton Grammar School, who afterward became Sir George Parkin, administrator of the Cecil Rhodes Echolarships. Among the early works of Dr. Roberts are poems on classic subâ€" jects after the manner of Keats. In a long list of works, "Bougs of the Common Day," and "The Book of the Native" stand ou}t in his poctic writâ€" ings. _ Among his bestknown prose works are ‘"The Forge in the Forest," "The Heart of the Anclent Wood," and "More Kindred of the Wild." He bhas also written a History af Canada. The University of British Columbia, situated in Vancouver, has an enro!lâ€" ment of nearly 2000 students, It posâ€" sesses splendid grounds and is gradâ€" ually rearing fine buildings, being liberally cndowed.
