Adam is extremely puzzled over the connection â€" of â€" Corville Perkin and Montada who wants the antique chairs. Then Priscilla is spirited away. It was what they wanted,. Not only The unexpected delicacies, the reâ€" vivifying wine, but the man himself with his fantastic air of lightâ€"heartâ€" ed pedantry. He was as much â€" a tonic to their worn spirits as the viands to their deprived bodies. He was an immense success, and he realised the fact and glovied in it epenly. Nor did he outstay kis welâ€" eome by one of those split seconds he was so fond of recording in bis noteâ€"book. Within half an hour of the end of the repast he took his leave, remarking wistfully to Seylla as he did so: "I hope when you grow . up, my dear, you will marry a scientist. I think you would make an excellent wife for a scientist, and that, I can assure you, is the very hardest kind of wife to succeed in being. It is only, alas, once in a blue moon that the born scientist and the born scientist‘s wile arrive at the church at the same moment. 1 noticâ€" ed, by the way, from the â€"calendar that there was a blue moon due beâ€" fore the end of the year, too." "One moment, sir. 1 must come with you," said Adam ,on the «pur of a sudden recollection. "What for," asked Scylla in alarm. "We‘ve forgotten to tell the police you‘re home again. We must not leave it until tomorrow before we let them know." "Your generalising habit, Meriston, is my only cause for fear in conâ€" nection with your scientific â€"future," stated the Professor. "You say *we, for instance, as if the word included us all. That is wrong. Having less to eceupy my mind than the rest of you, no doubt, 1 have already made a full report at the police station." Priscilla flung her arms about his neck and kissed bim heartily, an action that expressed very completeâ€" Iy the feelings entertained at that moment by Adam and her father and that sent Pro®essor Starling strutting up the now lamplit street in a manâ€" ner more like that of a young buck than a scientific pedant. *"If all sciontists were like him," she declared as she returned â€" from seeing bim out, "I really do think it would be nice to marry one."

Adam‘s only answer was A look. He slept at Cavendish Street that night, and, like the other two, slept thoroughly for the first time since the night before the picnie. Indeed go tired were they ull, that it was met until they were seated before a very late breakfast that it occurred to anyone to mention the peculiat statement that Mr. Norval had made the previous night about news that wouid keep until the morrow. When Seylia, for it was she who first reâ€" membered that there was something yet to learn, raised the subject, her Father started up as if in alarm. "Why yes, of course. Td forgotten,‘, he said.

They hastened into the shop and drew the blinds, unlocked the door and left it invitingly open. Then for a while they fussed about aimâ€" lessly, each afraid to speak of the irvitation he felt at having to wait for so important an arrival as that of Senor Valdamonte. He came at last. A taxi busii@a up to the shop door. A â€" thin, disâ€" tinguishedâ€"looking man with a grey,‘ pointed beard terminating his drawn and ravaged face, stepped out. Norâ€" val was quickly on the pavement to greet him. "An, my good friend, Norval," he exclaimed as they clasped hands. "At last 1 have come to inspect my chairs." "I had almost despaired of â€" ever seeing you again," declared â€" Norval as he led him into the shop. "And I too. It was only a week ago today that I succeeded in making my escape from a very uncomfortable Spanish prison. I am not yet very strong, 1 fear." He seemed to sway slightly as he spoke. Adam at once Jragged forward a chair, and he declined wearily into it. Obviously he was exceedingly frail. "Do you wish the taxi to wait?" enâ€" quired Mr. Norval. "Ah, yes. Let him wait." THE SECRET OF THE CHAIRS Adam tactfully retired to the sitâ€" tirzâ€"room, but a little later Norvai called him to assist the Senor to climb the stairs. ut e 100 M L un CEvEEENT NVW TCOTCC "«¥ou are strong, my friend," reâ€" marked Valdamonte, as he found | himselft practically carried up . the steep flights. "It must be good to be young and strong like you." In the attic he rested a while on one of his family chairs before going‘ on his knees and ranning his hands over the leather back, pressing with his fingers in a peculiar â€" manner. Adam imagined this to be a demonâ€" stration of his passion for the chairs,| particularly when he proceeded to perform the same operation on one1 after another of them. He was thereâ€" fore surprised to hear the request for a screwâ€"driver. In response Norval produced a neat little tool compendiam from his pocket. To the astonishment of the two witnesses _ Valdamonte imâ€" mediately proceeded to prise out sevâ€" eral of the old giltâ€"headed nails that secured the leather. In a few minutes he had prepared an opening large enough to admit his hand, and from which he proceeded to draw a series of bundied documents. The other watched fascinated as the real mystery of the Spanish chairs dawnâ€" ed on them. Valdamonte glance d over the papers piled on the seat before him and sighed. Then he rose unsteadily to his feet. "Bearer bonds," he exâ€" plained with a foreign shrug. "The most of my fortune. I am glad to recover them. 1 had greatly feared I should be forestalled."

Rightly, the goldeye is the pride of the prairie, â€" perhaps even "Maniâ€" toba‘s only distinctive contribution to the world‘s gustatory delight." Many are its merits. To begin with, it is smoked and therefore can be carâ€" ried far, bringing joy to Montreal and New York no less than to Branâ€" don. Then it is a "secretive" fish and does not too Joudly anounce its presâ€" ence in the kitchen while being cookâ€" ed. This is a trick it might well teach the kipper. Its appearance, on the first meeting, is perhaps startling â€" its bright roseâ€"gold suggesting an origin in the aquarium or in the oriental print room of the museum. But once understood, this brilliance only lends enchantment. It is accomâ€" modating in the matter of bone structure, a virtue which we wish the delicate shad would imitate. And, last, but first in importance, its mild flavour is superb. Winnipeg Goldeye The Tribune‘s figures story: â€"â€" The catch of goldeye in Manitoba waters in 1926 was 1,162,000 pounds. In 1929 it was 1,110,500 pounds. In 1930 it was 574,000 pounds. In 1933 it was 280,000 pounds, and in 1934 it was 325,000 pounds. â€"â€" Montreal Star.

"Literary researches into the subâ€" ject," he writes in the current Roâ€" tarian Magazine, "have led to the conclusion that the name golf was probably derived from the Teutonic kolbe, a club (kolf in low Dutch is a game). By a Scotch Act of Parliaâ€" ment in 1424, prohibiting games that interfered with archery and other. military sports, football is prohibited, and no mention is made of golf. By another Act of Parliament in 1457, football and golf are prohibited, so that it seems likely the game was inâ€" troduced between those dates or perâ€" haps became popular after footbail 'But items in the accounts of the "In 1491, King James iV of Seotâ€" land decreed: ‘Futeball and Golfe forbidden.

Ask ninetyâ€"nine golfers: out of Old Scotch records reveal that other kings were among the early devotees of the game in Scotland and England. And so the reason is aparent why golf often is referred to as a "royal sport." Think Out New _ Daily Problems Chap@ Hill, N.Câ€"New graduates of the University of North Carolina left the campus with the advice of Mrs. Franklin D.

Toâ€"day they are regaled on quickâ€"fattening oilâ€" eake, which makes better bacon. But such fare is dear, and Germans have been enjoined to observe economy in pigâ€"feeding. Now a German chemist has come to their aid with an extract from pineâ€"wood, of which commodity Germany has millions of acres. lt‘ is claimed that this extract is capable of fattening pigs rapidly and satisâ€" factorily.

UUS, The practical disappearance of the onceâ€"flourishing whitefish industry is bad enough, but that was simply a case of greedy men destroying a Yalâ€" uable industry for their own profit, But the disappearance of the golidâ€" eye is something else. It is not merely a money loss, imâ€" portant though that may be. It is the loss of Manitoba‘s only distineâ€" tive contribution to the world‘s gusâ€" tatory delightâ€"something that has made the name of Winnipeg to be spoken with reverence in all the shrines to the palate. The really distinctive contributions to the world‘s dining tables are few, and Canada has been responsible for only perhaps half a dozen all told.

It is not too late to do something, and the best of experts should be called in to decide what measures of conservation should be adopted. A eatch of 325,000 pounds last season suggests that the breeding stock is still available.
