The gypsies stopped laughing. Perhaps there was some sense in what he said. They felt of the mare and nodded and talked with one another. "It will not be longer than three days before she foals, perâ€" haps only two." All morning the discussion kept up and in the end Girtza agreed to acâ€" ces the mares and the unborn colt and they set the wedding at three days hence to live up to the bargain, for they were all of the opinion that the mare would not carry longer than the three days. The new assurance the Dummy had taken on after the fight with Marcu vanished. He put the oils away in his box and his brushes lay idle. He kept out Oof the merrymaking, for with the opening of the beer it had already started. His dark eyes were shrouded with heaviness, his face pale under the tawny skin, his slim fingers restâ€" less, but he could not paint. Laughins heads on canvas? Ah, no. He had not the heart for them. _ The news leaked into town. Curiosity was aroused. A gypsy wedding. Did they really get married? Smith‘s grocery store offered five gallons of hard cider if Smith, wife and family might be permitted to witness the ceremony. The promise of cider accepted. Other gorgios also announced their intention of coming whether they were invited or not. 4 For two days Marcu disappeared and when he came back, dusty and tired, he was riding a young sorrel and leading a mare heavy with colt. He rode up to Girtza and said: "Here are your three horses." How the gypsies laughed! Girtza pulled at his long beard and pat on the ground and said that it wyas not the bargain. 14] re tested in our own Umln /A S ASSIGWNEUD RGOM Afts CE none.

He could have closed his eyes and kept on working, so well did his mind portray the picture he was putâ€" ting upon the white silk. Exhausted, the Dummy fell into desgp sleep. He was sitting in a great forest and the girl beside him. He was talking to her, telling her of his love, and his voice was sweet and good. She answered him and he heard. He held her close to him and buried his lips in the shroud of her raven hair. He lwhispered all the things that had been |in his heart so long.

Darkness settled down, the hushed exâ€" pectart darkness before the moon. Only the shadowy figures in the disâ€" tance showed against the glow from the campfire. The oils on the crude palette began to run and blend toâ€" gether. The moon rose angq touched upon the square of silk, lacing it with shadows from the leaves of the tree above it.

Via North Bay and Canadian Railway Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway The Nipissing Central Railway Company At the very beginning of the depresâ€" sion The Advance urged the building of roads to create employment and reâ€" lieve those out of work,. Work in preâ€" ference to relief has been advocated by The Advance ever since. The maâ€" jority of the unemployed have agreed with this view, though a minority have always opposed itâ€"quietly at first, and more recently almost openly. They don‘t want work; th«y want relief. The people who have to pay the shot will have little sympathy for these chiselâ€" lers. On the other hand all should have every sympathy and every desire to help the majsrity who want work, who are ready, anxious to work, and who hate the idea of charity or relief. Years ago when roadwork was sugâ€" gested to make employment, it was reâ€" cognized that work was the only sure cure for employment. It would start a circle that would soon bring affairs back to better conditions. Against th‘is idea of making public works to create employment there was the argument that it would entail a staggering cost. Well, direct relief has caused an exâ€" penditure that would have staggered anyone four or five years ago had they considered the amount possible. And the country has nothing good to show for all the direct relief. The idea of needed roadâ€"building is dealt with in an able editorial in The Northern Tribune, of Kapuskasing. last week. Here is what The Norâ€" thern Tribune says:â€" Roadwork Better than Direct Relief Fickets good to return leaving destina ation point September 11th "Road building seems to be the idcal activity in Canada to absorb many of the unemployed during dull times,. The governments possess the surveying, draughting and engineering personnel on their staffs, and much of the machâ€" inery, camp equipment and tools are already in their possession. By sumâ€" moning the workless to man road camps, a government is providing us>â€" ful employment to take care of citizens in need, and directly investing in the future of this great country. Through highways are the preferable type, for they invite increased traffic, and every turn of an auto engine makes its tax contribution to the state. On the other hand, it is the sad truth ,that many thcusands of dollars, if not millions of public money have been wasted buildâ€" ing soâ€"called colonization roads in the North in unwise locations, only to lie untraveled and revert to bush because the settlers along it did not stay, These abandoned roads are easy to disâ€" cover, and they are a monument t3 eovernmental indiscretions. "Our governments, we think, are unâ€" duly hesitant about going ahead with arterial road construction. . The transâ€" Canada hghway could easily have been completely built through Northern Onâ€" tario by now, during the depress:on years at lowest costs, and even embracâ€" ing northern and southern forks to satisfy the needs of each district. Thouâ€" sands of men would have had sustainâ€" ing work, and tourist revenues would have been heavily swelled, benefitting all the business community.

And all the road equipment will have to be taken in by air, to add greatly to the costs! Twenty bridges will be required on this virgin trail, one of them 800 feet long.
