1 The picture was moving and
Lit w re nee thrilled. His wheat
war on board and lie had bought
every bushel by the sweat of his
body and anxious thought. H-*
felt the locomotive bells and
throbbing wheels struck a
triumphant note. On tire plains
one fought for all one got and
the tight was stern; but in the
whistle that rolled hack along
the rails he heard the call of
victory. . . .
George got a light, the stooks
and gray plain faded, and Law
rence listened to the others’ talk.
“My red Fyffo is particularly
good and the Winnipeg mills will
take the lot,’’ said Spiers. “At
length I think we have made it,
but sometimes I was doubtful
and I admit Helen is accountable
for my getting there. Then you
and Larry gave me a useful
boost that might have cost you
something, because if I had gone
broke, you must have stood for a
serious loss.’’
“Shucks!” said Lawrence.
“We were forced to link up; the
eo-operation helped us both.”
“Oh, well, at the beginning we
were up against a particularly
mean combine,” Spiers agreed.
“In fact, when you talked about
a sort of plot to seize and con
solidate the small farms your
judgment was sound. For all
that, I puzzled. Hart had not
the qualities one needed to carry
out the ambitious scheme, and I
did not see who supported him, j
until Helen spotted the'man.
However, it’s now obvious the

‘‘That is so. I expect he’ll go
to jail,” said George.
"Tie’s held for trial, and if I
were a crook, Ogilvie is not the
man I’d try to rob. Anyhow, we
know who meant to break us
and Helen declares lie's beaten.”
"Ogilvie agreed to leave us
alone. After all, his word goes,”
said Helen, and gave Lawrence a
sympathetic glance. "Margaret,
of course, had nothing to do with
his plans and when she found out
I expect she got a nasty knock.
She must not ho blamed for her
father |greediness; Margaret is
generous. ”
"You are a good friend, Mrs.
Spiers, Lawrence remarked.
Helen smiled and signed her !
husband.
"Geoffrey, wo have stopped
some time.”
They went off soon afterward
and Millicent turned to Law
•nce.
"We can get the house at the
■ettlcrmnt when we like and as
•oon as the wheat is at the eleva
tors you will not need George.
Lamond wants to know when he
will join him.”
“1 hate to let you go and I’ll
wish you back.”
"One likes to be wanted.” said
Millicent, smiling. "For all that,
Fairholm will not long he
lonely.”
I wonder—” said Lawreuee
in a moody voice and, fop be
thought Millicent had an object
for her remarks, resumed:
"Sinee fhe beginning I was up

ripened a frosty night might

until the grain was on the ears."
"The wheat will goon he

»uch longer," Millieent rejoined.
Margaret is proud, and per
hapa she thought your hesitation

to Montreal for the winter."

If I know she rules at Fairholm,

.She went off ami Lawrence’s
mouth curved in a crooked smile,
for he resolved to try her plan.
In the morning and all the af
ternoon he was wanted m the
harvest fi'-ld, but the days were
short and when tranquil evening
fell lie started for the Crossing,
lie went very soberly and his
mouth was tight, for he felt the
Ogilvie homestead was some
thing like an enemys camp. By
and liy lie stopped and his heart
heat. In the dusk a girl on
lio rsehaek crossed the plain, ami
he knew Margarets’ figure. Cut
ting her line to the farm, lie
seized the bridle and stopped her
horse,
" Why did you not let me know
you were going to Montreal!"
lie asked.
Margaret gave him a baffling
glance. "For one tiling, 1 had
not much grounds to think you’d
he interested."
"That’s rcdieulous!” said
Lawrence. "As a rule, you’re not
afraid to face things. Let’s lie
honest. When I was a boy 1 was
your lover—"
"One forgets." said Margaret.
"When you came hack to Fair
holm you did not know me."
"The night was dark. Then,
you see, in Knglaml I had pic
tured my plucky little, hot tem
pered pal. Somehow I didn’t
reckon on her growing up
growing strangely beautiful—”
1 ou stated something like
Unit, and I doubted if you were
very nice,’’ Margaret remarked,
“However, now I think about it.
Hie night was stormy, and you
rather obstinately concentrated
on seeing l did not cross the
log. ”
“I don’t want to ioke,” said
Lawrence. “Alter all, l expect
you know iiiv reason for staying
at Fairliolm.
“One tries to be modest, Larry.
Besides, your reserve was rather
inscrutable,” Margaret rejoined.
Lawrence gave her a crooked
smile. “My dear. I doubt if I
was ever inscrutable to you; but
perhaps some reserve was jus
tilied. Your father was not my
triend; I think lie hated my
tut her and he tried *o break
Oeorge. You wore rich. All I
had was a sum I borrowed from
my English relation and I risked
il nil. If I lost the c,op. Fair
lnd rn must go. Before I claimed
you, I must try to justify the
plunge I wanted you to take. Be
sides, I wanted an argument Mr.
Ogilvie might weigh—”
“Then, you calculated on his
refusing! ”
4‘That is so. Margaret. I
would sooner satisfy him, but
it's not important. If lie is ob
stinate, and you are daunted, I’ll
carry you off,”
“Your habit is not to take the
easy line, but after all, one fights
when one is forced. In the mean
tdne^ perhaps you are not afraid
to go to tlie crossing and meet
my father!”
“I’ll go now,” said Lawrence,
and started the horse.
Although lie thought Margaret
smiled, she said nothing, and
they silently crossed the plain.
Ogilvie was at the corral fence
anil when Lawrenee stunned Hie
horse he looked up.
“Well,” he said dryly. “Did
you reckon my gang had lighted
another fire?”
“I did not, sir. I have asked
Margaret to marry me and she
thought you ought to know. In
fact, l suppose you ought — ”
“You have got some gall,”
Ogil vie remarked. “Well, l guess I
her mother will he interested.
Come on to the house.”

£ HCRRY SQUARE
A NEIGHBOURLY NOVEL
by URACK 3. RICHMOND
WHKN Josephine Jenney
came by, Mrs. Noraii
O Grady on bands and
knees was fiercely scrubbing the
square front porch floor of the
old Cherry house which stood on
the Brook street side of Cherry
Square, in the small town of
Cherry Hills. Now the old
Cherry house, though there were
reaches of lawn* and garden be
side and behind it, stood so close
to the street that a bare two
yards of distance separated the
white picket fence from the iron
railinged steps. Therefore, Jo
Jenney, passing by, was so
near to Mrs. O’Grady’s back that
she could see the tight muscles
stand out on the red, capable
arm which wielded the serub
ing brush. Mopping a long un
used front porch floor wasn’t
good enough for Norah O’Grady;
it had to be scoured as though
it were an ancient buried monu
ment just retrieved from the
drifting sands of Hgypt.
“Good morning. Mrs. O’Gradv.
So somebody really is going to
live in this delightful looking
old house again. I’m so glad.”
One swift glance over her
shoulder confirmed Mrs.
0'Grady’s impression that it was
Miss Jenney who was speaking.
Norah particularly liked this
young teacher in the village
school, who had been in the place
only a year, hut who in that
short time had done wonders
with the intelligence of bullet
headed Patsy O’Grady, the pride
of his mother’s heart. So though
Norah didn’t stop working for
an instant she answered Jo less
brusquely than she had answered
much the same question—only
, they called it “the old Cherry
house’’—from some nine women
and live men who had previously
passed by. To most of these she
had vouchsafed not much more
than a nod, refusing tosbe drawn
into conversation. The town
would know all about it soon
enough. Let them wait. It
wasn’t often she had the chance
to withhold so much interesting
information.
“I'm glad mesilf. Miss Jenney.
It’s too long the place has been
like a tomb. Now we’ll see some
life about it.”
“Who’s coming, Mrs. O’Grady
—if you don’t mind telling?’’
“I do mind fellin’,’’ said Mrs.
O'Grady frankly, with a last
vigorous swish of her scrubbing
brush. “Because I was told not
to tell—just yet. But if ye can
think of a good r’ason why I
should be tellin’ ve an’ denyin’
the rest, maybe I’ll give ye a
hint. It’s more than human na
ture can stand to tell no one at
all. Annyhow, they’ll soon be
here. An’ the town guessin’
everybody except the right ones
—and the right ones the very
ones that should be here.”
“Do you mean—some of the
Cherry family?”
Mrs. O’Grady nodded. “I
mean that. It’s old Miss Cherry’s
niece, that married the city
minister 10 years ago, an’ she
used to come here when she was
a girl. Now she’s cornin’ back,
with her children, while her hus
band goes traveliu’ on his vaca
tion. He’s tired out, she says,
what with his big city parish, an’
he’s goin’ over the water with a
nuptv nf mAM whilo cIia nnmnc?
here for the summer. An’ it’s
my notion that she’s glad to get
away from bein’ a minister’s
wife for a few short months.”
Jo Jenney laughed appre
ciably. ‘‘Now, how do you come
to think that!” she questioned.
‘‘Because of course she didn’t
say so.”
‘‘Anny minister’s wife,” said
Norali O’Grady, ‘‘is bound to be
tired of bein’ it. If lie needs a
vacation she needs two o’ thim.
I’ve been in two ministers’
houses in my time, an’ I know.
An’ 1 don’t suppose bein’ in a
big city, an’ havin’ her husband
preaehin’ to 1,000 people instead
of 100. makes it anny easier.
There’s just thnt many more
women to criticise her.”

A group ot' women were ap

“Go on, dear,” she said under
her breath, “or I'll be in trouble.
Slip round to the back gate
down the garden, and I’ll let ye
in when the storm’s passed by.”
In the twinkling of an eye she
had vanished into the house, and
the heavy green door with its
brass knocker had swung uncom
promisingly shut behind her. Jo
proceeded on her way, walk'. ig
rapidly. The women whom she
met gave her curious nods, and
one turned as if to speak, but
Jo’s momentum carried her
safely by. Hound the corner and
down the lane she reached the
narrow green gate at the foot of
the garden, and two minutes
later Mrs. O’Grady's strong
hands, red and rough with work,
wrested the long unusued gate
open. At the same moment, at
the front of the house, two
women tried in vain to open the
locked front gate.
‘Well, whoever\s coming,” one
of them said, “I hope they put
an end to this foolish business of
keeping the place barred like a
prison.”
“Maybe Kldora Cherry left it
in her will that it should be. And
Xorah O’Grady would just enjoy
doing it, anyway. Isn’t she a
character?”
“She certainly is. The other

ticences followed, taking the
minds of the group from the
annoyance of having been unable
to corner her. Meanwhile, inside
the house, Jo Jenncy watched
Norah polish brass sconces.
Polishing was among the best
things Norah did. The violent
effort seemed to ease her unceas
ing urge for work.
“Are .you going to stay after
Mrs. Chase comesT” Jo asked.
“To be sure, I’m that. I’m to
come every day for the laundry
work an’ the cl’anin! There’il
be plenty of both, with three
little children. Mrs. Chase come
up here an’ engaged me, one

“Have you found the second

“I have not. I wrote her she'd
have to bring one. The kind of
girl she’d wait, around here,
won’t work in other folks

She was off with her brasses,
to set them up. Jo Jenney stood
still, her fine dark brows draw

of a sudden idea, a sudden pur
pose. When Norah came hack
Jo’s mind was made up. It was
an eager mind, few thing
daunted it.

Sardonic French Humor
French humorists are beginning to
Insist that the safest way to commit
murder is with a pistol. Most qf
those who have employed other
means In recent years have gone to
the guillotine, but a number who
use pistols are still enjoying life
and freedom. Commenting upon this,
Maurice Prax of the Petit Parisien,
says it has become an established
castom that the revolver. In crimes
of passion, Is strictly “de rigueur,
like evening clothes after dinner at
the Deauville casino.” “It Is strictly
forbidden to strangle or.e’s wife,”
Prax says. “It Is equally forbidden
to chop a wife or a rival Into bits,
or to give them poison with their
meals. But the revolver remains au
thorized—and recommended.”
A Very Woman
“Is your wife fond of listening in?”
"No; Margaret much prefers speak
ing out.”
Most of the theories quite disregard
human nature.

Efficient Scarecrow
It has been discovered that most
effective means in frightening tho
birds vay Is by means of grand
opera. A German farmer’s wife has
been greatly disturbed by birds that
destroy her cherries. Because her
children go to school In the daytime,
the birds no longer pay any atten
tion to her scarecrows. Then one
day Inspiration came to her. She at
tached a megaphone to her radio set
and tied it to one of her cherry tree*.
The result was almost magical. Now
she Is not annoyed by the birds; only
once In an hour she Is obliged to
interrupt her work to get la on tho
new wave length.
The more good qualities a man pos
sesses the less he has to say about
them.
Old Folks Say Doctor
Caldwell was Right
- r'
The basis of treating sickness has
not changed since L>r. Caldwell left
Medical College In 1875, nor since he
placed on the market the laxative pre
scription he had used In his practice,
known to druggists arid the public
atnce 1802, as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin.
Then, the treatment of constipation,
biliousness, headaches, mental depres
sion, Indigestion, sour stomach and
other Indispositions that result from
constipation was entirely by means of
simple vegetable laxatives, herbs and
roots. These are still tho basis of Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which is a
combination of senna and other m'td
laxative herbs, with pepsin.
The simpler the remedy for consti
pation. the safer for the child and for
you, and the better for the general
health of all. And as yon can get re
