He‘s in a daze, but he‘s not scared." She looked over Maurice Wayland‘s shoulder at the small, pinched, child‘s face. Certainly his submission to the doctor‘s hands now was a different thing by far from the rigid, fascinatâ€" ed horror with which he had entered the garden. "Put what really happened?" she asked. ‘"Was| it a fit?" "I‘ll tell you all about it later," said Jim "But I don‘t sse how you know. YÂ¥cu‘re not a doctor. Are you sure you can tell me all about it?" "I‘m dead sur» I can," said Jim with deep satisfaction, and went to lift Hughie, while a towel was stpread upon the delicate primross>â€"yellow cushions under his head and shoulders. Once thie loam and grass stains were removed, Hughie‘s hurts proved to be few and small; an unbrokem bruise upcn his ferehead over one temple, sevâ€" eral scratchrs from the roses, and a small torn wound in one wrist where he had dragged it over the jagged edge of a stone; but for the rest he was whole and sound.

"No‘,, said Jim. "That‘s the whole "Franklyâ€"no. duced purely by exhaustion." Jane came forward a step from Thea‘s side. She was quite composed now that contact with Thea‘s mind had soothed her own, though her face was still semewhat paler than usual. point "The main thing," she said, "isâ€"is Hughie going to be all right?" "Of course," siaid Dr. Wayland. "There‘s nothing the matter with him now except that he‘s exhausted, and I very much doubt whether he will be able to walk home. All he wants is few days of quiet, and no more remindâ€" er:; of anything he may or may not have seen in this garden. Though. for my part, I must say T think your line of reasoning very tenuousâ€"very ten« uous indeed. However, you‘d better think of getting him home to his mother." calr Hughie, helped by Jane on one side and Jim on the other, walked out to the car without difficulty. He had reâ€" covered sufficiently to accept a handâ€" ful of flewers and to say that they were pretty. All trace of his former preoccupation was gone. Jim said from the doorway: ‘"Dr. Waylandâ€"â€"*‘ "Yeqy?" Maurice Wayland had his hand tucked into Thea‘s arm with an air which could only be described as one of ownerchip. And 00 Jane it apâ€" peared that Thea accepted the touch rather than suffered it. It was natural enough, after all. Here was â€" a iman, young, attractive and pleasant, who had been an invaluable friend and confidâ€" ant to the girl during these troubleâ€" scme days; no wonded she leaned upon him now as if he had possessed for vyears those rights in her which the dead man had misused. Charles had merely hurt her with his championship during her husband‘s lifetime, and torâ€" mented her with his arrc"ant sxlence afterwards "All the same," thought Jane, jealâ€" oqusly, "I know I should lke Charles best." And there she paused, for she was; by no means sure that Thea did not like Charles best, after all. She leaned upon Maurice Wayland, but her heart was by no means easy about him. "I wonder if I might call on you this afternoon," said Jim, to the doctor. "There‘s a little matter I should like to discuss with you." "This afternoon I shall ‘be on my rounds:" "And this evening? Another surgery?" Jim smiled. Trying to find a word for the exact expression of that smile, Jane could think only of ‘significant.‘ It ssemed that it should mean something very pregnant indeed, but she could not for the life of her guess what, "There‘s my husband‘s," said Thea Pleaso use that." "And at what hour does your evening surgery end?" he aisked. LOVE AND HATE There was a momentary pause, durâ€" ing which the two men stood looking at each other narrowly, as if they saw each other for the first time and were not unduly in love with what they saw. It was clear to Jane that Dr. Wayâ€" land did not like Jim, did not trust him, and would be more than glad to disâ€" credit him. The reason was plain enough while that exquisite, that enâ€" chanting woman sitooed between them and looked from one to the other with her grieved iris eyes. Maurice Wayland caw ‘Jim as a rival. Involuntarily perhaps Jim was a rival. He was young, at least as) young§ as Wayland, reasonably handsome, and had the attraction, probably a great attraction to a woman like Thea, of being something of a man of the world. It had not occurred to Jane until that moment that Jim in his turn might nct have found himself proof against the charms| of Thea.

He had spentithe greater part of s time with herself and Charles, cerâ€" tainly, but that was no indication of where his heart was. Jane felt a tremor. For some unexplored reason it was not pleasant to think of Jim as deeply in love with Thea Hart. salid "Then if T may call upot time after eight?" "I shall be expecting you You‘re right," said Jim.

Hardy of Timmins and Mrs F.C. Evans, of South Porcupine, were called to Cobalt twenty years ago on ‘aoooum of the death of their sister, Mrs. D. Wilkes, wife of Cobalt‘s fire | chief. Mrs. Wilkes succumbed to pneuâ€" monia. Her death made the fifth break in the family circle within three years. Three young children were left to _mourn the loss of their mother. TITwenty years ago The Advance had an extended notice of the wedding at Montreal of Miss Juliette Timmins, daugh‘er of Mr. and Mrs. N. A. Timâ€" mins. to Dr. John 8. Dohan, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Dohan, the event taking place at 11.30 o‘clock on Monday morning, Feb. 15th, 1923, at St. Leo‘s church, Westmount. Among the gue‘s presont were Mr. and Mrs. A. F.

Purther tests will be carried out each evening from 10 to 11 pm., and local radio fans can materially assist by reporting as to the reception of the test. Such reports will be of great service in perfecting the broadcasting station here and as such will be much appreciated. At present the local broadcasting is being tesed on very low power. The idea is to get it as porfect as possible for tone, etc., and then to "step up" the power to give the broadcasting wider area. For Jim took Jane‘s arm, and drew her to the door. The mystified frown upon her was laughable in a way; she looked like a puppy trying to work out how a clockwork mouse ran. As as the door was well clcsed behind them she asked: "What on earth was all that about?" * "I‘ll tell you afterwards, when I‘ve proved it really isâ€"what I think it is. Come cn, let‘s get Hughie home." "You‘re always going to tell me everything afterwards," said Jane rather peevishly; but she climtked obediently into the car and asked no more questions. From the Porcupine Advance Fylos T wenty YearsAgo They took Hughie home. It was a somewhat difficult task to explain to his mother what had. happened, dbut seeing her son apparently not much the worse physically, and mentally, if anything, rather better, sie was not unduly suspicious. They drove away again in Austin Hart‘s car, and left her to her problems, which were for ever without cure. "Poor Hughie!" said Jane gloomily. "He hasn‘t helped us much, has he?" "Yes," said Jim, "I rather think he "That‘s one of the things you‘re going to explain to me later, I suppose," she said bitterly. Jim turned his head and smiled at her. "You feel badly about that, don‘t you?" She stiffened, and her chin went up. "No, of course not. Your theories are entirely your own. But it occurred to me thatâ€"as it happens to be my brothâ€" er who‘s supposed toâ€"to haveâ€"â€". But perhaps it‘s not really my brother you‘re interested in." "Not first and dforemost,"" agreed Jim thoughtfully, "though I don‘t intend he shall come ito grief if L can help it, of course." "I see," said Jane, chilled,. "Well, I don‘t blame you.

Timmins outplayed the Falls and won out with a 7 to 5 score, The Advance noted that they wore even better than the score indicated "Every player in the Timmins team starred, all playing their places with brains energy and ability," said The Advance. "Spark Plug" featured quits a bit for Timmins. Frank McGuire als> _did good work. Five of the seven goals for Timmins were wored by Bchan, who was a popular member of the team those days. The Timmins line up inâ€" cluded:â€"Scully, goal; Fournier, Rus, defense: Campbell, right; Cameron, centre: Behan, left; McGuire and Cox, spares. For Troquois Falls the players were:â€"Powers, Brydg*, Boucher, Fahey, Lafrance, Fluker, Chircoski, Quesnell.

The score was 8 to 6 but thirty minutes overtime was necessary to qecide the issue. The players were practically the same as in the other game ncted above, except that Frank Carlin played in place of Cox. Unforâ€" tunately Carlin was injured in the first period of the game and Timmins had to go through the game and over‘ime with only one substitute. There were several references in The Advance twenty years ago to a protest entered by Iroquois Palls against the N.OH.A. game played at Timmins on Jan. 3¢th. The claim was made by the Falls that the stick used by the Timâ€" mins; goalâ€"tender in the game in quesâ€" tion was larger than the rules allow. The stick was said to ibe over four inches in width. The Advance held that the rules did not ssem to cover the width of sticks used by goalâ€"tenders, the idea being no douh!s that any devâ€" iation from standard carried its own disadvantages and so would not be used.

Tax Programmes and Price Control Mr. McCulloch dealt at some length with the government‘s revenue producâ€" ing and price control legislation, and pointed out ‘that it is of the greatest importance that all citizens give maxâ€" imum encouragement and support to these undertakings. A constant reducâ€" tion in consumption of nonâ€"essential goods is necessary to help prevent the evils of inflation. "It is of the greatest importance,‘" he said, "that in their own interests, life insuranc> policyholders should strongly support all antiâ€"inflaâ€" tion measures undertaken by our Govâ€" ernment. It is natural and desirable that a substantial portion of the purâ€" chasi‘ng power derived from, the nationâ€" al incom» now in the hands of the pubâ€" lic should be translated into protection through life insurance. It will thus be available for the support of the war by its investment in Government War ILoans. If further inflation is to be avcided, this available purchasing power must not ‘be expended on nonâ€"essenâ€" tials and this hazard is definitely reâ€" duced by the steadily increasing appliâ€" ~cation of these funds to the purchase of additional assurance." ! Manpower Problems Mr. McCulloch made reference to the manpower pr oblems and stated that the f nscess ity of maintaining a high level of croduction in war industries, and the ic,cx â€"increasing need for workers, both male and female, to produce war equipâ€" ment and supplies, will undoubtedly hav> an increasing effect on the perâ€" <onnel of life insurance companies.

Soclal Security and Life Insurance with postâ€"war problens, Mi. McCulloch welcomed the signs, already abundant, that social «ecurity on a more liberal scale than previously attemptâ€" ed is receiving the serious considaraâ€" tion of high authorities in Canada, and in all the democratic countries. "I have little doubt," said the speaker, "that the situation of life insurance, which has rendered such effective and beneficial social and economic during rec=â€" ent generations, through successive porâ€" iods of prosperity and depresion, in times of peace and world war, will prove equal to the demands which may be made upon it. The courage, integrity and devotion to public welfare which actuated the phenomenal develcpment of life insurance during the past cenâ€" tury will, I am convinced, continue to manifest themselves in the reconst.mc- t.ton period which lies before us." Qutlook For 1943 Mr. McCulloch expressed his belief that the coming year will be one of the most momentous in history, calling for fortitude, energy and patisnce on the part of all, Referring to the commendâ€" able part Canada is playing in the worlkd struggle, he said: "As Canadians, we are justly proud of the combined productivity of our manpower and natâ€" ural resources, an achievement which has mounted to heights never before contemplated. The contribution which our relatively small populaton is now at last making to the cause of freedom has exceeded expectations. . .The task of each of us will be to make our vidual contributions to the contribution and development of our strength that we may help as greatly as possible in the> tasks which lie before us."
