(Continued)

On the following morning, while all the rest of the house party were talk- ing polities and preparing for the event of the evening, Mr. expressed his te town, and Paul expressed his in- tention of going with him. There was an outcry at this, and both gentlemen were told that they must undertake to return in good time for the even- ing meeting.

Both promised to do their best, and they started together soon after an early breakfast, at which nobody would have been present, in that easy-going household, but for the ex- citement of clection time.

Lady Ursula and Mrs. Finechden, the latter with very red eyes, and the former’ unusually pale, were ‘both down also to see their husbands start on their journcy.

Paul noted with transient uneasi- ness that his wife had not asked him why he was going to town. She ap- peared to have taken it for granted that it was the affair of the pearls which was taking him away. It oc- eurred to him, while breakfast was going on, to put her right on this point.

“IT suppose,” he said to her, while Finchden and his wife were consulting together in undertones, ‘‘you are puz- zled about my going up to town?”

She looked up at him with her grave, blue eyes, but said nothing.

He went on, suddenly changing mind, and deciding that something more nearly approaching the truth than what he had at first proposed to tell hen would best meef the case: “T want to keep an eye on Finchden, «nd prevent him: doing-anything which would bring consternation among them all down here.”

“Consternation!’” echoed Lady Ur- sula interrogatively.

“Well, what would happen if the police were to turn up here and ar- rest her maid, for instance? It would be dreadful for. everybody. And much Jess likely to prove useful than less obtrusive methods.”

To this Lady Ursula heartily agreed.

Lady Ursula looked a Jittle brighter after his suggestion, and bade Paul farewell with affectionate that he would not be late for the meect- ing that evening. He assured her that he would not, and he and Finchden started for the station in one of their host's motor cars.

It was a little country station, and the London ex by signal for the two gentlemen. As they reached the platform they met

a traveller crossing the line from the |

opposite one, It was Lord Eastling, who was sur- prised to find himself face to face with his brother-in-law. It was with no particular warmth that he said: “Hullo, Payne! Come to meet us?” And as he spoke he looked back at the platform which he had just Jeft, where his sister, Lady Emmeline, who had come with him, was with her maid “No,” said Paul, you were coming by roing up to town,” Finehden, who away, and who

“What have you lost?”

The Honorable Almerie was a stalwart person, sportsman, but he was as casy to | ‘‘draw’’ as a little child. In two min- j utes Lord Eastling, prejudiced and on ithe alert. had got the whole story of the necklaee, and then said—

“You think that three rows of your wife’s pears have been stolen, and duffers substituted for the real ones, and you are taking the necklace, just at it ss. up to town be examined by experts?”

The Honorable Almeric assented to this terse summary of the situation, over which he had been ex- panding himself with exclamation.

“And Payne going added Lord Eastling.

“He's going up with you, but not about that.”

“About what, then?’ asked Kastling with sudden asperity.

“T don't kitow. You'd better him,’’

Lord Fastling hesitated for one mo- ment. Then, running across the plat- form to his sister, he told her to go ;on to Oare Court without him, and | to say that he would be there later. Then, before she could ask the reason of this change of plan, he disappeared into the station and got himself a ticket for London. | He had scarcely returned to the plat- ‘form when the London train drew up to the station, and Paul, Finehden, and Lord Eastling got in together.

To say that of annoyance at this sudden and _ os- tentatious change of plan on the part | Of his brother-in-law would be an ex- | aggeration. But. on the whole, he contrived to hide his -displeasure | pretty well; and on the journey no- ! body would have guessed, least of all the ingenuous Finchden, that Word Fastling was going to town in the character of an amateur detective, and that he was mounting guard over his handsome brother-in-law.

It was not till the train reached | Euston, and Paul Payne, after whis- }pering=a few hurried words to*Finth- den, making an appointment for later in the afternoon, dashed into the crowd when Jord Eastling’s back was for a moment turned, that the real object of the young man’s journey became apparent.

For he darted after Paul, and came ;up with him, just as the elder man was hurriedly entering a taxicab.

“You're shadowing me.”

“Yes,” said Lord Eastling frankly. “Why?”

No place could have been better chosen than the pavement outside a busy station at a busy time. For no- Where on earth would the private af- fairs of any two people be likely to create Jess attention,

Good People Always Welcome It seems to us there is a vast amount | of fruitless pother over what may hap- pen to America after the war. One statement that is much repeated is that the inrush of trained men and | women will mean new competition for

They will never be. sai- isfied to go inside again.

Good for them! The Sooner they wet to America the inore America ought to like it. That type of citizens is want- ed on our farms

Practically all Frenchmen of military age are fighting, and practicially all Frenchmen of every age are engaged in some kind of national service. not the men alone, the women of France have beeu mobilized also. In fact, the routine life of the country is maintained very largely in face of the depletion of its manhood, by the devotion of its female population.

The agriculture of France has been carried on by the women, assissted by the old men and the children, andif the intensive cultivation -yoes on up to the very battle zone itself, it is be- cause of their willing hearts and untiring hands. When

there will be room upon it for these humbler millions who,tho not on the firing line, have done their full part.

The German governor-general of Belgium writes toa Stock- holm paper: “We have saved this country from a big econom- ic distress.” Other murderers have done the same thing for their victims, but they seldom boasted about it.

It is announced that Camp Borden is no place for civilians at present, there being no acconi modation for them,

And some of the soldiers ap- pear to think that the camp is no lit place for the military either.

Manitoba Has Good Highways

HEALTHY BABIES SLEEP WELL AT NIGHT

A well child sleeps well and during its waking hours is never cross but always happy and laughing. It is only the sickly child that is cross and pecvish. Mothers, if your children do not sleep well; if they are cross and cry a great deal give them Baby’s Own Tablets and they will soon be well and happy again. Concerning the Tablets Mrs. Chas. Diotte, North Temascaim- ing, Que., writes:—‘‘My baby waa greatly troubled with constipation and cried night and day. TIT began giving her Baby’s Own Tablets and now she is fat and healthy and sleeps well at night.’”’ The Tablets are sold by medi- cine-dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box, from The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

By Keeping Records for a Few Years, You Can Know What it Costs to Grow an Acre of Wheat

“There is but one way to find out the cost-and profit of crops— that is by keeping records. This may be done by estimating the cost.of a day’s work for hand without a team; for hand with ‘a single team and for double team. Then it is not a difficult. mat- ver to keep a record of the hours, or days’ work. To this may be added rach as the interest on the investment In land, teams, imptements, etc., to- gether with the cost of feed, fertilizer, etc. Credit the land with the value of the crop and see whether or wot % pays a profit. One year is not suf- ticient to determine the cost, as the season may be a very unsatisfactory one. But by keeping records of a few years you can determine what it cost ou to grow an acre of wheat, oats, Las: etes, and what profit it will pays.

Miller’s Worm Powders prove their value. They do not cause any violent disturbances in the stomach, any pain or griping, but do their work quietly and painlessly, so that the destruction of the worms is imperceptible. Yet they are thorough, and from the first dose there is improvement in the con- dition of the sufferer and an entire cessation of manifestations of internal jrouble. :

British Shipping After the War

We must not lose sight of the danger which threatens supremacy of the British mercantile marine after the war. Changes are taking place in the relative tonnage of the mercantile marines: of other countries. Huge as are the profits which British shipping firms are earning, the profits of the neutrals from shipping are more than twice as_great. They will have vast tunds to-use after the war, in buying ships or in placing shipbuilding or- ders. The shipbuilding facilities of the United Kingdom are far greater than those of any country in the world. They must be safeguarded.— London Chronicle.

The Truth Will Out

A great German naval victory is pet- tring out. The German evasions and concealments lend an air of probabil- Ity to the French insistance on the loss of the Hindenburg. And what {s the plight of a Government afraid to tell its people the truth? The ‘‘Ger- man victory” of Skagerrack is envel- oped in.legend. But how can the truth about it be kept from leaking out? A Government suspected by the rest of the world of unveracity cannot permanently dupe its own people. At any moment Max Harden may blab the inconvenient truth.—New York Times.

His Challenge! The judge looked over at the pris- oner and said: “You are privileged to challenge any member .of the jury now impaneled.’’ Hogan brightened. ‘‘Well, thin,”

Homesteads in Manitoba

Land For Homesteading is Yet Avail- able in Many Parts of. The Province

Contrary to prevalent opinion, the Province of Manitoba yet contains lands available to the homesteader. To wit, extensive acreage lying be- tween Lakes Winnipeg and Manitoba, a@ minor portion of which territory has alone been taken up. Certain districts of. Riding Mountains in north-western Manitoba afford opportunity; to the northward of Lake Winnipeg are stretches of splendid areas, which it is understood will be open for entry at completion of the railroad to Hud- son Bay. And in Manitoba. proper, homesteads are likewise obtainable, but comprise lands somewhat rugged in character. Nevertheless, this acre- age is being secured by the immigrant from Slavonie Europe, who, with the perseverance indigenous to this class of settler, is creating farmsteads from an indifferent matertal.

tecent annexation of the immense district of Keewatin cannot. be for several decades a feature of interest from, the standpoint of the home- steader. Tor the main part, Keewatin consists of tamarac growth with con- necting waterways.

The Manitoban, always optimistic of his country’s future, is looking for- ward to the termination of the pres- ent European war as the index finger of an unpreeedented influx of immi- gration. Lor such auspicious happen- ing, land for homesteading purposes is available in various provincial dis- tricts, Céspite any report to the con- trary.—J. D. A. Evans in Farmer's Magazine.

A Woman’s Health Needs Constant Care When

the Blood Becomes Disease Speedily Follows

Poor

Every. woman's health is peculiarly dependent upon the condition of her blood. How many women suffer with headache, pain in the back, poor appe- tite, weak digestion, a constant feeling of weariness, palpitation of the heart, shortness of breath, pallor and ner- vousness. Of course all these symp- ‘toms may not be present—the more! there are the worse the condition of the blood, and the more necessary that you should begin to enrich it without delay. Dr. Williams Pink Pills are bevond doubt the greatest blood-build- ing tonic offered to the public to-day. Every dose helps to make new, rich, red blood which goes to every part of the body and brings new health and strength to weak, despondent’ people. Dr. Williams Pink Pills,are valuable to all women, but they are particularly useful to girls of school age who be- come pale, languid-and nervous. Thin blood during the growing years of a girl's life usually means a flat-chested, hollow-cheeked womanhood. There can be neither health nor beauty without red blood which given brightness to the eyes and color to the cheeks and lips. Dr. Williams Pink Pills do all this as is proved in thousands of cases. Mrs. Wm. Rowe, Carlow avenue. To- ronto, says:—‘I have rec@bived go much benefit from Dr. Williams Pink Pills that I feel it my duty to recom- mend them to others. I was about completely prostrated with anaemia. I had no appetite, was terribly weak and subject to fainting spells. I suf- fered greatly from dizziness, and the various other ‘symptoms that accom- pany a bloodless condition. Remedy alter remedy was tried but to no avail until a friend advised me to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. Before com- pleting the second box, I was again enjoying splendid health, and have since remained in that happy condi- tion.”

Mr Balfour shows that “the freedom of the seas’ is simply a German dodge | to cripple the use of all naval power, American as well as British. He shows that it would paralyse the fleets of the world while leaving the armies free to do what they pleased. That is

what the Germans desire That is what we in Great Britain will never permit. That also is what no Ameri-

cun who is capable of seeing what lies behind a speciously s-ntimental phrase would dream of assenting to. So far as Mr Balfour's explanation helps any Ameriean to realize that “the freedom of the seas’’ is nothing but a German scheme to make inter- despotism, it will be very useful.—- London Daily Mail. 7

New Shell Explains Russians Success on the Eastern Front

A new kind of shell, said by some

correspondents to be a Japanese in-

vention, while others assert it is the

pPoduct of Russian scientists, is gen- erally given the chief credit for the

success of the new Russian offensive in despatches from Petrograd. In-

credible quantities of this new weapon

are being used by General Brussiloff, and its effect is said to surpass every- thing witnessed in the war thus far.

“Of course, nothing can be said about the nature of this shell,”’ says the Morning. Post's correspondent at Petrograd, who asserts it is the pro- duct of the co-operative research of the Russian universities.

“In fighting, hitherto, the capture of positions have been’ gradual pro- cesses, but on the present oceasion it is rapid beyond belief, the destrue- tion and capture of men coming like a lightning stroke, leaving the — staff officers, whose station is from five to fifteen miles behind the firing line, with no hopes of repairing the initial mischief, and they simply fled. The astounding quantity of booty of every kind is likewise evidence of this.”

The Irish Problem

Irishmen of all parties and creeds have been fighting the common enemy together with the Englishmen, Scots- men, Welshmen, Canadians, Austral- ians, New Zealanders, and South Af- ricans; and how: can we be so bank- rupt in statesmanship as not to secare for the future settlement enabling Irishmen to live in harmony within their Island, and at the same time establishing Irish national sentiment as a reconciled and satisfied aspiration m@king for the strength and not the weakness of the Empire? should be evident to every Irishman, us to every Briton. that an early so- lution of this problem would make a real addition to the strength of the Empire in its present hour of strain. Everybody who wants to win the war must recognize, that, whoever helps on an Irish settlement help to win the war, and whoever hinders it hin- ders winning the war. And when the struggle is over, how much better able the Empire will be to make head against the problems which will then throng in upon it, if the ancient sore has been tealed beforehand.—London Chronicle.

A Partner With Dad

Wherein a Farmer’s Son Was Encour- Aged to Take an Interest in the Business

Yes, I like the farm and I am going to stay with it,” said a young man who had just completed the short course in a Middle Western college of agriculture.

“The first property that I remember ever having owned consisted of some crippled and ‘runt’ chickens which had been given to me by a neighbor. I cared for them and wlien they were sold I had three dollars to invest in ducks. In the duck deal I also put all the pennies I had received from mother for gathering up the eggs. The | next season [ sold ducks and eggs to the value of $17.85.

“T added some savings from other sources and was able to buy a grade Hereford steer for $27.50. To pay for the keep of this fellow I grew a patch of corn and helped to replant and weed all on the place. When the steer was ready for market I sold it for sixty dollars and bought a mule colt, the pick of a. bunch of twelve’ that father had bought. I kept the mule, broke it and worked it until it was five-year old.

“It was just about this time that the bank in which father is interested voted to issue somie additional sto >. I sold the mule and became a banker. With the returns on this investment, added to from some small farm pro- duce sales, I bought another steer. When it was fattened I had left seventy-two dollars, and with this and

“The spring after the three steers were sold father was buying mules, ‘picking them up.’ A very likely span of three-year-olds was bought for $225. The steer money and some of that year’s bank dividend paid the bill.

“Since that time I have bought a wagon, a good set of harness and a cultivator, making payment out of the bank stock dividends.

“In the winter of 1912-13. I bought sixteen head of black calves, which were sold next May for $800. The money was ‘invested in Shorthorn

worth twice what they cost.

To Foretell Fine \ Weather

Many Simple Weather Signs Based Upon Scientific Facts

_If you want fine weather, look for fine-weather signs. Here

§ are some of the most reliable, for they are based upon the scientific facts. They

are given in St. Nicholas:

When the sun sets in a sea of glory, that is, when the sunset sky is red, you may expect clear weather on the following day.

At night, when the moon is clear and shows clean edges, with no halo

| Or Ting of mist surrounding it, there

is little danger of rain. When the wind blows steadily from the west the weather will continue

|fair; it very rarely rains in the east-

ern States with the wind in the west.

Watch the smoke from a chimney or irom your campfire—it is a good If- the smoke rises high it means clear weather. The smoke will also show you from which diree- tion the wind is bluwing: so wil! a flag on an upright flagstaff.

A grax early morning, not a heavy,

‘cloudy one, promises a‘fair day.

A heavy dew at night is seldom followed,by rain the next day. Think of it this way and you will remember Wet feet, dry head.

If there are no clouds at the west- ern horizon, you need not worry about others.

Animals are said often to show hv their actions what the weather will be, and there is reason in this. Some of them certainly have a knowledge of coming storms. We are told that spiders are especially sensitive to weather changes, and, when they make new webs the weather will be fair; if they continue spining during a shower, it will soon clear off.

Canada’s First Farmer

The first farmer settler in Canada who lived on the produce of the. soil was Louis Hebert, an apothecary from Paris, who landed in Quebec in 1617 with his wife and children, and at once started to clear and cultivate the soil on what is now the site of the Cathedral of Quebec, of the Seminary and of this part of the Upper Towa extending from Ste. Famille stréet to the Hotel Dieu. At that time that part of the city was called ‘‘Hebert’s Farm.” With a spade as his only tool, he worked and re-worked the soil until he was ready to receive seed. Te threw in the seed from France, planted apple and rose trees, and ag ast, saw undulating in the breeze, the golden ears, the flowers and fruits from his motherland. The third cen. tenary of the landing of Louis Hebert will be commemorated in Quebee in 1917, and a Citizen’s Committee has been formed to erect a monument to the first farmer of the colony.

STATUS OF DERS ON _ ACTIVE SEVICE IS MADE CLEAR

NECESSARY PEACE OF SOME KIND BE SECURED

All Other Plans Failing, Germany is Now Sending Out Tons of Literature to Neutral Countries in an Effort to Put the Allies in a Wrong Light

While the exuberant and, of course, anwarranted demonstration in Ger- many over the naval engagement in the Skagerrak may, for the moment, silence the cry which the world has listened to of late for peace according to German dictation, it is safe to haz- ard the statement that it {9 only. a question of a few weeks, if not days, wben that cry will be repeated with mew emphasis. ;

The fact of the matter is that the torces behind Germany’s persistent el- tert to promote discussion on the subject are-far too potent to be over: come by the clamor of ultra-patriots in the German parliament.

The German press is not its own master. It is not.only subject to a Figorous censorship; it is muzzied

by the decree of the hour, a syndicate of diplomatic and commercial mag- mates. They are but echoes of the imperial chancellor, and_ he is the servant very largely of the bankers of Berlin, the Rothschilds of Vienna, Herr Ballin, and the Burgomeisters ef Hamburg and Bremen.

These all represent interests that bave made their will a higher law in the councils of state.

At their representation three montiis ago it was decided that a powerful and special organization should be created to co-operate with the diple- matic efforts of the imperial chancel- lor to bring about a peace favorable to the present standing of German

arms. They showed that unless peace could be secured before the autumn, the

dual monarchy would collapse.

The: bankers of Berlin declared that another big war loan would compel them to issue a perfectly fallacious paper currency.

Herr Ballin, perhaps the first civil- jan in the land and head of the North

German Lloyd Steamship company, along with the gentlemen already named, told the kaiser with brutal

frankness that but for the aid given by the federal government to Ham- burg and Bremen, those cities would

* all, Holland was to become the centre —if.it has not already become so—of a new movement for sowing discord between Great Britain and the United States.

So far the Berlin organizers are ent- isfied with the success attained, Of course, these arrangements are quite well known to the allies, and it may be assumed that, they are not idle. Hitherto, however, Germany has re?k- oned upon the adverseness of British diplomacy to utilize the press for counterattacking her diplomacy. But the fact Sir Edward Grey has just given official cognizance to a_ press interview, and that Arthur Balfour used the same medium to set forth the British view on the blockade, may be accepted as signs that Great Brit- ain wilk not be without a reply to attack by her enemies.

Getting Through the Wire

| The Entanglements of Wire: Cutting

is Described

An officer gives this vivid descrip- tion of his experiences:

“We could not find a place to get through the wire, and had just to take “pot luck’? and go straight for it, though we knew we had to strug. gle and fight our way through an entanglement of from fifteen to thirty feet. made of wire interwoven in a most evil mesh. However, we. strug- gled on as best we could, helping each

other, and after what seemed an eternity broke through with many euts and scratches, but lost nothing except a few pieces of coats and breeches.

“Our difficulties then increased.

Having turned round s0 many times to get through the wire, we could not “hit on’’ the direction of‘our own trenches for a few moments, and had to lie down for some little time watching. the flare, lights going up before we were satisfied by some outstanding object. of the way we nad to go, and then it was not many mo-

Peace, by one way or another, must, he said, be secured, Verdun must be subdued if it should cost five hundred thousand men. And so on ad infini- tum and ad nauseum.

Herr Ballin is credited with having

informed the chancellor that it was useless to dream any longer of an

eastern conquest. They must dispel that vision and face an ultimate disin- tegration of Turkey.

As the outcome of these and other conferences it was decided to concen- trate upon a two-fold plan of campaign for peace. The methods may be sum- srized as follows: Diplomaticaliy, Germany was to aim at detaching Italy from the allies. She was to offer terms to Belgium, including an _ in- demnity and the destruction of [orts in proximity to her border as an evi- dence of her good faith.

Her trump card, however, was to settle the submarine cortroversy with the United States, and then, assum- ing that the Crown Prince had put an end to the struggle on the Meuse to Bolicit President Wilson to submit ten- tative peace terms to Greut

that they would be refused, and there- by enable Germany to regain her pres- tige fortunately estranged by Biveness.

Other moves were to be attempted, and included assent to the Dardanelles becoming un international waterway, provided the sovereignty of Turkey was maintained,

lines in the United States, Spain, Hol- land, South America and Scandinavia

Tons of literature in these langu- ayos are already in print, including books with new ‘facts’ us to the vene-

bis of the war, magazine articles writ ten as far as possible by writers, professedly not too to German ideas, but well enough sprinkled with disturbing argument and statement to make the allies ap-

“Here, again, we had difficulty finding a passage through, which was rendered ~ait-the mere trving by the constant whizzing of the bullets from enemy machine guns about our eara.

“So we crawled along again in front of the wire. hoping to find an entrance, when. all~at once all three of us went headlong into a deep cut- ting filled with water.

“It was a deep sap that had been cut out and cleverly covered with branches and twigs, so that it was

not discernible from the ground and was about nine feet down, but al- though we got a good ducking we managed to get under the entangle- ments and back into our own tren- ches.”

Sniping a Recreation

A Canadian soldier tells of his ex- perience as a sniper. “It is.one way,” he says, “among too few ways, of breaking the monotony of trench life. [ have been a sniper. Sniping is an:ther way to break the terrible monotony of trench life. T have spent a whole day in a tre GQiyxting that way the operations of the men in the trenches.

“The soldier at the front does three times the amount of work at night that he does in the daytime, In or- dinary trench life the day is quiet, with little firing exeent that of the machine guns: and few men are wounded or killed by day.

“Much of the fighting we did in the early morning before it was full daylight. Every morning and every evening we went through what we called the gtand-to movement -- a movement of preperedness—g¢etting ready to attack. We would keep at the work two and even three hours, awaiting an attack.”
