`:1;';b,'?; nd glovei enrts after . FAVORS DAYLIGHT SCHEME I Mr.`A. B. Scott, ex-president of the Smith s Falls Board of Trade. is a11 enthusiastic advocate of the daylight-saving scheme and has col- lected in Canada much data in refer- ence to it. After considerable cor- respondence and other work he es- timates that there would be an an- nual saving to the Dominion -of $3,- |500,000 if on April 1st all clocks were advance one hour and so kept until the "first Sunday in November. There would thus be a gain` of 214; il10}11'S per year to 3,000,000 people.

At last she looked away her attention caught` by a queer clicking sound near at hand. i She was surprised to see Yvonne Brood. standing close beside her, her_ eyes closed and her ngers telling the beads that ran through her fingers. her lips moving -in voiceless prayer.` The girl watched her dully -for a few moments, then with _growing fas- cination, The incomprehensible creature was praying! To Lydia this seemed to be the most unnatural thing in all the world." She could not associate prayer with this wom- an s character; she -could not imag- ine her having been in all her life possessed of a fervent religious. thQug_ht. It was impossible to think of her as being even l1ypocritically pious. _Somehow the girl began to experience a strange feeling of ir- ritation. She turned her face away 11l1Wlll1Ilg' to w1t11ess-_ this shallow mockery. She was herself innately . religious. In her secret soul she re- sented an appeal to heaven by this luxurious worlding; she could not bring herself to think of her as any- `thing else. Prayer seemed a pro- fanation on her scarlet lips. -r 1- . .. _ _ _-_ Brood s eyes met her for an in- stant and then fell before the bit- ter look they encountered. His shoulders drooped as he passed: close by her motionless gure and fol- lowed the doctor down the hall to the bedroom door. It opened and closed an instant later and `he was with his son. On the `landing below .they came upon Lydia. She was seated on a. windoW_ ledge, leaning wearily against the easement. She did not rise as they approached, but watch~ ed them with steady, smoldering eyes in which there was no friend- liness, no eoxnpassion. They were `her enemies, they had killed _ the thing she loved. , `.`Yd .31 l `THURSDAY, JUNE 8th,_ 1916 V Copyright, 191l.by Dodd Mud and Co. By George Barr McCutcheon Blackls .
