"YÂ¥ou‘d better wait here. I won‘t keep you long," she said, ,as she led him to the waitingâ€"room. When eventually he was ushered into Sgonia‘s room, he found her propped up with pillows, and at a glance, there was nothing whatever the matter with her. indeed, she looked rather more robust than he remembered her. "I can see that Dr. Barnwell was whar <the said vou were better." "I can see that Dr. Barnwell was right when she said you were better."

"Will she be able to travel on an drdinary car on Monday doctor?" x “Oh yes. I‘d thought of keeping her in my house for a few da_ys "That‘s a good idea," Brereton said. enthusiastically. "By the way," he went on, "you remember I told you that you reminded me of someone?"" "Yes." "Well, here she isâ€"it‘s my mother." "But I‘m not . . . but she‘s lovely! And what a beautiful minature?" she said, as she handed it back to him. "Â¥ou don‘t think that she‘s like you?" "Not really. I wish it were true." "HMas the gallant airman been in toâ€" day?" the doctor asked. "No. His leave‘s up and he‘s gone back to his station. He made me cross â€"it looked almost as if he wanted war." "The airman?" Brereton asked. "HMe knows you," Sonia said. "Ronâ€" ald Jevons." _â€""Oh, .yes, I remember. A pleasant youth. I played tennis with him." A nurse came in with the patient‘s tea, and the doctor announced that their interview was at an end. "I should like to see the almoner," he said as they walked along the corâ€" ridor. Ee .t-on, ahd the woman in the picture which Paul Brereton painted in Paris. Once more Dr. Barnwell watched his firm;, hands on the driving wheel of his car. "Have you time She glanced a she said. *"I‘m so He left her at her house and went on through the town to the lane leadâ€" ing up to the Common. He dropped in that evening in time to see the last act of the play at the theatre. The audience was enthusiasâ€" tic, but far too small and afterwards he went behind the stage. There was an air of depression in the long passage beneath the stage where they were standing about drinkâ€" ing lemonade. "Hallo, sir!" Murray greeted him. "It‘s good to see yout back again. Did you see the show?" "Only the last act. I‘m coming toâ€" morrow. The audience was enthusiâ€" astic."

Don‘t say much about it until the doctor says she may come Perhaps toâ€" wards the end of the week." "I say! That is kind of you, sir. We miss her a great deal."

"Thq poor girl was up against it. She hasn‘t a great deal beyond what she earns. The whole company insisted on it." "Good! I shall be in to see the show toâ€"morrow evening, I hope." There was a much better house the following evening. Indeed, as the docâ€" tor and Brereton took their seats, the place seemed reasonably full. Many of those sitting in the surrounding seats glanced at them. "I understand that he‘s a very fasâ€" cinating man," one married lady said to another, apropos of nothing in parâ€" ticularâ€"but her companion understood. "It would be a most interesting match," the second lady said, but the first speaker shook her head: "She knows too much about them,‘"" she said. Brereton at least was unconscious of the stir their entry had made. "This audience will hardly keep them going." he said, when he had glanced round the theatre. The play had a splendid reception and the audience made up for its lack of size with enthusiasm, Murray made a little speech and the manager of the theatre, to renewed applause, produced a small bouquet and a large box of chocolates for each lady of the* comâ€" pany. The ladies were genuinely surâ€" prised and delighted. "Good of you!" whispered the doctor but Brereton only smiled. "Let‘s go behind and have a word with them?" "I hardly know themâ€"excepting Rayâ€" mond, of course." The company as usual were gathertd excitedly in the long corridor under the stages and the boxes were already ope® "That doesn‘t matter. They all know that you‘re Sonia‘s doctor, anyway." They went back to the stage and sundry cakes appeared from various dressing rooms to make an impromptu party. Linda Keene, still in her makeâ€" up as a middleâ€"aged woman sang some palpitatingly â€"youthful and modern songs. It was all very jolly and boisterous and cheerful, but as Brereton walked with the doctor along the deserted High Street he was inclined to be pessimistic. "They‘re up against it," he said. "I don‘t think theyll be able to hold out I‘m particularly sorry for Sonia‘s sake.‘ "I was thinking over that party you suggested," she said. "And the result of your thought?" "You remember young Jevons? The airman?" "Yes" "He wants to come to the party, too" ‘"Does Sonia want him?" "I don‘t think she minds. She told him about it and, with what he called a sense of strategy he approached me to use my influence with you" "Ask him by all means. Whom else? What about that little Somers girl? Will she be down?" "I think so." . we‘ll ask her, too. Doesn‘t young Jevons get a lot of leave, by the way?" it. I‘m feeling a bit down t,o-nlgbt Betty Somers and young Jevons were the first to arrive. "It‘s rather an impudence my forcâ€" ing myself on you like this, sir," he sait to Brereton with his cheery grin. "No one ever forced himself on me if T didn‘t want him to," Brereton said, with his smile. "I should think that was true," said Betty Somers, "And how is Oxford?" "Lovelier than ever." "And the work?" "Lousy." "My dear ‘Betty!" ‘I said lousy and I meant it. I shall never be a chemist in this world!" "What a rélief!" he smiled.

They were wandering around the room looking at the pictures and Brereâ€" ton was alone with Raymond Murray. "m afraid it‘s no go, sir," Murray said. "We did less than gross sixty last said. week Miss McKechnie was not in evidence during the meal, but hers, was the brain â€"and much of the workâ€"behind it, even if the inspiration were Brereton‘s. It was a delightful meal and, by the end of the meal tongues were wagging freely; that curious optimism of the stage had once more asserted itself. Later, they danced to the radio. | "It‘s rather a joy to watch them," the doctor said as she and Brereton stood in the alcove by the window. He was looking at Sonia who was dancâ€" ing with her airman. "It‘s all right for her to dance?" "Yes It will do her good. She is an extraordinarily nice girl, Paul." "I‘ve never known a young girl who attracted me so much," he said. "And the airman is so absurdedly in love with: her!" "Thank you! I‘ve painted many beautiful women at one time and anâ€" otherâ€"and many wéatherâ€"beaten old fisherwomen." "And there‘s always beauty in a face fisherwoman." Instinctively his eyes went across the room to the picture of the woman who had once been his wife. "Always," he said. "If you were a poor artist I should commission you to paint me,‘ she said with a smile "Not," she added, "that I am under any illusions about my "My dear Mary, I shall be delighted to accept that commission. But I shan‘t charge you anything for it." ‘"You don‘t want to paint me! It‘s a face made for grim utility, not for beauty" "Nonsence!" he retorted "You have| an extremely attractive profile. Your mouth is rather too big, but it‘s a huâ€" mourous kind mouth. Yes, I‘ll paint you in wprofile, and TI‘ll go it because we are friends and understand each other. And because you‘ve been so extremely kind to Sonia,. Linda Keene‘s going to sing." The two they had been discussing stood just inside the doorway, and out of the corner of her eye the doctor noted that the airman did not look too pleased with himself. Mary Rossall was sitting by herself and during the applause when Linda Keen finished, Brereton went across to the old actress. "You seem a bit thoughtful, Miss Rossall," he said as he sat by her side. She nodded. "It‘s never struck me before, Mr. Brereton, that age has its |compensations." ace YÂ¥es, do Here‘s the doctor and "Quite.

Brereton was watching Sonia as she and the airman went round the room looking at the pictures. ‘ "There‘s something in what you say about the pictures for Sonia, Miss Rosâ€" sall," he said at length. "She might do very wellâ€"if she got a chance. That‘s tha difficult part. anyone with youth and a ghost of a chance on the stage can get away with it in pictures." "You haven‘t tried the films?" "No. I was once offered a contract but something more amusing turned up." Shortly after ten o‘clock there was an urgent telephone call for the doctor. She told Brereton quietly that she was going, and would have slipped away unobtrusively, but he went out to her car with her. As she drove down the hill to the } l | hh oc C "" L mR OW As she drove down the hill to the house whence the call had emanated she was thinking about Paul Brereton and Sonia. : The complete absence of jealousy in him for the goodâ€"looking airman made her diagnosis more than usually difficult. His attitude wasâ€" she hesitatedâ€"protective, It was very confusing. Sonia was a delightful, spontaneous girl, but not particularly clever, and certainly not the girl she would have expected to appeal so strongly to Brereâ€" ton. As far as type wWas concerned, Betty Somers filled «the picture far: more completely. Betty Somers was talking to the boy from the O.U.D.S. when Brereton reâ€" turned to the lounge. "wou‘ve hardly spoken to me the whole evening!" she complained. "My dear!‘" he protested. "I ithink she‘s adorable,‘"‘ Betty Soâ€" mers said. "Erâ€"who?" "Thea one you were watching. To me vyou were merely making polite noises Â¥e > 5 en EY ESWd at intervals. You were completely unâ€" conscious of me. (Between ourselves, I fancy that Ronny Jevons must be most awfully in love with her." "Why?‘" he smiled. "He doesn‘t give two hoots for picâ€" tures. He‘s bored stiff but, yet he goes on and on. Just watch. He‘s looking at her but Sonia‘s looking at the picâ€" ture, the portrait by the window." "She certainly seems very interested in it," Brereton said. As he spoke Sonia made some remark to the airman, who nodded in agreeâ€" ment as she turned back to the picture. "I‘m afraid she doesn‘t like it." "I don‘t like the woman particularly. As a painting it is sheer wizardry." "Bless you, my child." "YÂ¥ou do look on me as a child. It‘s absolutely maddening. I‘m not a child, Paul. I‘m a woman. I‘m older than Sonia, anyway." "‘Probably a couple of years between you?" 30 8 y 9 type than I am." The airman suddenly crossed the room to them. "Excuse me, sir," he said. "But Miss Petanel would like to go. She doesn‘t seem well." "It‘s a pity Dr. Barnwell was called away." Brereton said as he rose. "Have you a car here, Jevons?" 4 "I think you‘re wise, Sonia," Brereâ€" ton said when he reached, her. "I shall be all right," she said. "I came over a bit shaky. Sorry to be a "I shall be all right," she said. 1 came over a bit shaky. Sorry to be a nuisance." "My dear!" Brereton protested. The airman was anxiously solicitous and she was soon tucked up comfortâ€" ably in his car. It was, however, an excellent party. But all parties, however excellent, come to an end and at a little after midnight Brereton was alone in his silent house "I‘ve up,;". sir,;"‘ ~ Jones sala "Goodâ€"night." Brereton crossed to the picture bv the window and switched on the careâ€" fullyâ€"placed and shaded light above it. From the door he switched the others off. It was as if the woman in the picâ€" ture had suddenly materialized. She stood out, a living person, from the darkness. Partly it was a trick of the carefullyâ€"arranged lighting, partly the sheer skill with which the picture had been painted. The painter of the picture lit a cigarâ€" ette and sat on a big chesterfield by the door. Often he sat like that, and so deep was he sunk in his reverieâ€"or perhaps his memoriesâ€"that he failed to hear the car which had driven up to his door. A woman go out and crossed the lawn to the terrace so that she could see into the room. Brereton, save for the glowing tip of his cigarette, was not visible, but the picture he was watchâ€" ing seemed vividly alive. For a moâ€" ment she stood in the darkness watchâ€" ing the scene before she crossed to the door and tapped on it. The Cochrane Northland Post last week had the following reference to the golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. James Nash a matter of time. But I‘m talking vears ago, and for about thirty years of that period have lived in Cochrane.

The Advance said ten years ago:â€"â€" "The total number of building permits issued in the town of Timmins from Jan. ist to June 10th, 1932, is 159. The total estmiated cost is given as $91,137. 00, but this figure is very far below the actual amount involved. For some odd reason, it seems a fact that invariably the estimated cost given in applying for a building permit is much below the actual cost. It is safe to say that the cost of new buildings and repairs and improvements in the town of Timâ€" mins this vear will be well over $150, 000.00, so far as the buildings for which permits have already been secured are concerned. â€" Other buildings likely to be started later will still further inâ€" crease this amount." At the regular meeting of the town council, ten vears ago, on Monday af â€" ternoon, Mavor Geo. S. Drew was in the chair, and Councillors A. Caron, Dr. Honey, R. Richardson, A. P. Dool¢y and J. Morrison were present. A letâ€" ter from A. Lennox again objected to the assessing of his house at 45 Lake Shore road for all of 1932, as the building was not completed until May. He suggested that the assessor wWas . confusing this house with one next door to it. Both Assessor Channen and his assistant Leo Charlebois were posâ€" itive the house had a stove in it and was being used when they made their rounds for the assessment. Mr. Lenâ€" nox submitted bills to show that the hardwood flooring was not bought unâ€" til January and the electric wiring not done till later. Council thought these things, however, were the last things done to a house before it was occupied and so they could not see how this alâ€" tered the matter. Thos M. Bu§by. of Grace Chapel, asked for permission to hold religious meetings on the street as ‘Mlast year. The necessary permission was given. As noted in The Advance ten years ago, His Excellency, Monseignor Ardâ€" rea Cassulo, Apostolic Delegate of the Holy See to Canada and Newfoundland was given enthusiastic greetings and welcome at every point he visited on the first tour of the North ever made by a Papal delegate. His Excellency arrived in Timmins on Wednesday afâ€" terncon and was welcomed here by five thousand or more, a large number of children being among those greeting him on his arrival here from Iroquois Falls. From Timmens he went on Friâ€" day to Ottawa, this being the last centre in the North to receive an ofâ€" ficial visit. All the other larger towns iA'mos to Fort William and Fort Wilâ€" liam to North Bay were visited by His I Fxcellency. "Thanks to the good work of those in charge and the support of the pubâ€" lic, St. Anthony‘s Church annual baz-. zaar, held in the skating rink last week," said The Advance, ten years|, ago, "proved to be a big success." It was better than last year, attendance and returns being greater than in ‘1931 |* while the event itself was very interâ€" esting and pleasing. The display of ;. homeâ€"made articles won special attenâ€" tion and approval. All attending enâ€" joyed the bazaar very much and interâ€" t est was maintained to the end on Satâ€" urday evening. In next issue will be| given a list of the cash donations to; the event." t Ten yvears ago, Leo Mascioli tendered | a banquet at the Empire hotel in honâ€"| our of His Excellency Monseignor Anâ€" drea Cassulo, Papal Delegate to Canada on the occasion of the latter‘s first ivisit to the North Land. In addition to His Excellency the guests included: | Bishop Rheaume, of Haileybury, Rev.| Fr. Theriault and Rev.Fr. O‘Gorman,| Rev. Fr. Coufield, Rev. Fr. Sowinski.! I Rev. Fr. Pare, Rev, Fr. Laurandeau, of Timmins:; Rev Fr. Joudin Kirkland Lake: Rev. Fr. Morriseau Kapuskasing; Rev. Fr. Gelinas South Porcupine; Rev Fr. Leduc, Ramore; Rev. Fr. Vincent, secretary to His Excellency; A. F.

Moore president of the Kiwanis Club John Knox. assistant general manager of the Hollinger; H. G. Skavlem of the McIntyre: and many other prominent men of the town and district. There were about 75 present at the event. Ten years ago, The Advance said :â€" "Dr. O. G. Hague, formerly a popular resident of Timmins. but now practicâ€" ling at Winnipeg, Man., was the guest speaker at the Kiwanis Club hotel on Monday. The Kiwanis Club has a long list of remarkable addresses, but the ‘address on Monday by Dr. Hague is placed among the very best as specâ€" ially helpful and attractive. Dr. Hagâ€" ue spoke on "Electricity," with particâ€" ualr reference to its uses and the notâ€" @ble service it had given to humanity in recent years. To illustrate his adâ€" r | dress he had a large chart that practiâ€" cally covered the one wall of the dining r|hall. Even from so large a chart it ; l remarkable the amount of interesting information that Dr. Hague was able : ‘to summon by a few explanatory 1 | words." The Timmins tourist camp was taken ' over ten vears ago by Councillor J. T.: Chenier who conducted it at the same site that it occupied for the past few . years. Those who knew Councillor Chenier were satisfied that the camp was conducted on the very best lines and that as a blace for the ladies and children of the town and for swimming and bathing purvoses, it was kept to the very best standards. A very delightful evening was spent at the home of Mrs. H. R. Sopha on Thursday, June 2nd, 1932, when a misâ€" cellaneous shower was held in honour of Miss Idella Sopha brideâ€"elect of that June. A dainty luncheon was served during the evening to the many friends who gathered at the bride‘s home to ‘wish her luck and prosperity. The brideâ€"toâ€"be was the recipient of many beautiful and costly gifts which showâ€" ‘ed the high esteem in which this young lady was held. Local items in The Advance ten years ago: "Mrs. R.

A counle of years ago, Mr. E. H. King, then chairman of the Timmins Kiwanis Club Publicity Community, started keeping a book of clippings to preserve the record of the various acâ€". tivities of the local club. This book of clippings from the local newspapers asâ€" sumed such proportions and proved of such special interest \that Chairman King was advised by many who saw it to take it to the District Convention of the Kiwanis just to show theo idea. He did this and was told by some of the officials after all had admired his book, that the Kiwanis International had a yearly contest in such books of clipâ€" pings. This year the book of clippings about Kiwanis activities was entered in this contest, and in its class took secâ€" ond place on the continent. There are three classes for these books of clipâ€" ping â€" places where dailies are pubâ€" lished; centres represented by both dailies and weeklies; and towns where there are only weeklies. It was in the combined daily and weekly field that \Timmins Club took second place. This week dispatches from Cleveland told the story as follows:â€" "Victor C. Diehm, Hazleton, Pa., public relations chairman, announced winners in the clipping book contest. The contest was based on newspaper linceage of Kiwanis publicity. In the daily field, first place was givâ€" en to Gloversville, N. Y., and second place to The Tonawandas. N. Y. In the combined daily and weekly field, Puyallup, Wash., was first and Timmins, Ont., second. "In the weekly fieid, Granby, Que., won the first place and Helper, Utah, was second." There is a total of 2180 Kiwanis Clubs scattered all over the United States and Canada, so the winning of high places in such a competitive field is woarthy of note. 0. E.
