PAGE 81x f CHAPTER T t STRANGER FROM THE SEA Fog, dense as ever southâ€"coast dwellâ€" ers could remember. A heavy and stifling pall reported from the narrows at Dover right away to beyond historic Plymouth Hoe. ‘ All along the coast, beneath that blanket of greyish white, thousands of resolute men were on their toes behind concrete defences, alert with ears and scientific instruments attuned for wha‘ warning might reach their hearing that way, eyes being blind. The eyes of the the sea at a lont blind indeed. B and sheer physi apart from the 1 the smooth wet s going tide, he la breathing, inert a It was some time before he moved and staggered on blindly landwards till the sand became shingle, and the shinâ€" gle became barbed wire entanglements, and of strange devices to whoch he, halfâ€"dazed, gave no conscious attenâ€" tion. And by now what lit‘le of dayâ€" light had been filtering through the mist was suddenly gone. mist was suddenly gone. The man‘s progress was made painâ€" fully and always more feebly because of exhaustion and through a total blackâ€" ness. ‘One could hear, but not see, his frantic thrustings through and over obstacles, with an occasional curse, and evert at timesâ€"almost startâ€" linglyâ€"a harsh, muted laugh of triumph. Presently, thcugh he could see noâ€" thing at all, he sensed that he had reached a wide open space, and ‘that his seaâ€"sodden shoes stood on fairly good metalled road. He grunted with a sense of relief and satisfaction. H® could afford a breather here, and it was wise also to pause here, since a metalled road spelt danger, and it also meant that here he must somehow try to get his bearings. Before he could adjust his mind to +‘he task, out of the blackness to his right came the muffled sound of a motorâ€"engine. Exhausted though he was, he realized that the car was near, though it was being driven with cauâ€" tion. ‘Before he could move off the raised centre of the road, the car seemâ€" ed to be swinging round a corner, for the sflaft of a headligh*t made a scytheâ€" like sweep through the fog. It was a marked light, but the glare of it was enough to blind him for an instant, so that he stood rather helpâ€" lessly, a hand over his eyes swaying with the fatigue and emotional strain through which ‘he had been passing. There was a sudden grinding of brakes, and the car stopped. He heard a girl‘s voice, not frightened, but alaxmed "Anyone there?" In response, he made sounds, .but neither to the girl not to himself were they coherent. THE GIRL IN THE CAR The girl left the dark interior car and stepped towards him.

"Don‘t talk nonsense!" she remonâ€" strated. "Channelâ€"swimming isn‘t a pastime these daysâ€"â€"*" "I didn‘t suggest it might be," he inâ€" terrupted, a trifle brusquely.

Round the same corner that the girl‘s car had earlier negotiated with caution, a big limousine came at a speed that was mad considering the conditions. Whoever drove, was only just in time to notice the girl‘s car and the two figâ€" ures beside it on the inside of the road. The limousine swerved recklessly, its klaxon raving raucously. Fortunately the man on the road acted swiftly and with calm. He grasped the girl in his arms and leapt backward. CHAPTER II A GOOD SAMARITAN The limousine had vanished in the blackness, so that even the sound of it had dwindled to silence, before the man spoke. ‘"‘There goes a perfect little gentleâ€" man!" he said drily, and as he released the girl from his‘ grasp she spoke a triflie sharply: "Sorry to contradict you! That was the perfect little lady, I hate to say. As you see, she travels fastâ€"and in more‘ways than one." "I‘d like to have a few words with het," the man answered fiercely. "You may have the chance. T‘ll see what can be done. Meantime if you‘ll get into my carâ€"â€"" "You owe it to me," she said.

I can‘t forget that, if you do." get into my carâ€"â€"â€"~ ghe laid a small ungloved hand on his arm as he still hesitated. Her voice was very warm now, warm and pleadâ€" ing and soft. She was already at the wheel, and as he slumped into the seat on her left he shivered a little from the closer conâ€" tact of his wet ‘clothes with his body. She said nothing as the car moved forâ€" ward slowly. They had reached what a sudden slight break in the wreaths of fog showed him to be some open gates and had swung in along a winding drive, fringed by undergrowth and trees before she spoke again. "By the way," he heard her saying, "I ‘suppose I‘d better introduce myself. I‘m Rowena Drew. This place is known as Quarry Hill. It belongs to my unâ€" cle. Perhaps you‘re heard of Sir Banâ€" tock Drew?" "You certainly haven‘t left your memory in the Channel," she laughed. "Uncle iis, I suppose a big man in his way, especially in these days." "I knew his name well some years ago, before I went to Franceâ€"â€"‘" he stepped rather abruptly, as if biting off his words in case he should be temptâ€" ed to say too much. His voice changed to a matterâ€"ofâ€"fact tone as he next Lroke the silence. "Craven!" sche repeated reflectively. "It doesn‘t quite fit youâ€"if, indeed, it fits you at all." "Why, what do you mean?" he asked sharply, ‘" almost suspciously, staring towards her in the darkness. She laughed gently. "Well, considering the way you‘ve got here from France, and by the look of you it must have beet, a tough job, vou should be called anything but craven "I have. A pretty big man, isn‘t he? Industrialist, and so on if I rememâ€" ber right." "I‘d best complete the introduction Miss Drew. My name‘s Cravenâ€"â€"Jo/hn Craven." "Oh, that!" he laughed, too. "It‘s surprising what one can do in an emetrâ€" gency," he observed casually.. "It‘s not a question of pluck or being craven. I think, at rock bottom, every mal has the complete jitters when he‘s threaâ€" tened with the worst. I don‘t believe for a moment it‘s any real test of his courage if he finds a way to safety. No it‘s just the sheer drive of grim necesâ€" sity. We can all do more than we imaâ€" gine when we must." The winding drive here came abruptâ€" ly to an end the car headlights showâ€" ing a massive portal set in the facade of what Craven recognized to be a fine country house of some age and much dignity. A few minutes later he stood in spacious entranceâ€"hall furnished spatrâ€" sely as a lounge, and artistically lit with orangeâ€"shaded lamps. An imâ€" mense open grate had a log fire burnâ€" ing attractively, increasing the sense of warmth. IX THE LAPS OF THE GODS Rowena Drew wasted no time. She spoke rapidly to a portly manâ€"servant and things began to happen. Craven found himself installed in a chair near the log fire. The manservant brought hot whiskey and, as he sipped it, Roâ€" wena examined the wound on his head, an elderly housekeeper bringing hot water to cleanse it and a supply of firstâ€"aid bandages. "This is something I ought to be abvle to do," Rowena told him as her deft fingers got to work,. "I‘ve had training in nursing. In fact at one time I had visions of being a nurse, onlyâ€"well cerâ€" tain things happened and I had to come here tbo look after my uncle.

Under the influence of her sympathetic attention he was beginning to recover a sense of comfort and wellâ€"being, although his wet clothes had begun to give off steam.

In his opening remarks President J. L. Bickell noted that the mine had once more set up new high records with reâ€" spect to the value of gross production and net profits. During that year, bulâ€" lion was recovered to the gross value of $5,427,211.15 (exclusive of premium on exchange) and the year was finished with an estimated ore reserve in excess of that reported the year before. The Goldfield‘s theatre was filled to capacity Sunday evening, May 28%h, 1933, after the regular church services, when a musical feature of much inâ€" terest and importance was presented. It was a sound motion picture film givâ€" ing the singing of several noted Jewish cantors and their choirs. YVith the reâ€" markable singing there were symbolic presentation of scenes from the history of the Jewish people. In striking way the notable incidents in the life of Isâ€" rael were depicted â€" the flood, the trials of the people in Egypt, the search for the Promised Land, and the other many dramatic features that made up the story of the Jewish people. The Spring Stagette held on Saturâ€" day, May 27th, 1933, by the :Timmins branch of the Canadian Legion to raise funds for its relief fund proved a very gratifying and successful event. The proceeds showed that the public: was closely watching this work carried on by the Legion réelief fund, and a very good profit was turned over to the bank. The death took place on Wednesday, May 24th, 1933, at the St. Mary‘s hosâ€" pital, Timmins, of Wallace Smith, weliâ€" known and highly regarded in town. He had been in the hospital a few weeks before that and underwent an cperation from which he had apparentâ€" ly recovered, and was intending to go back to his work at the Ankerite Mine. He was taken ill again, however, with what proved to be ulcers of the stomâ€" tach. He had suffered hemmorrhages and was very weak, but with the many ;blood transfusions and at the last an operation, it was hoped to save his life, but all the skill so earnestly given by doctors, Sisters and nurses proved withâ€" out avail. He passed away surrounded by relatives and friends at his last moâ€" ments. "‘The T. N. O. railway has won a reputation for itself for few accidents and no serious wrecks" said The Adâ€" vance ten years ago, "and this repuâ€" tation was given a remarkable touch on Friday last, May 26th, 1933, when a freight train was wrecked at Keyson, between Connaught and Hoyle, and a car of dynamite was among the cars leaving the tracks, yet no serious trouâ€" ble happened. The freight was on its way to Timmins on Firday morning where the wreck occurred. The cause of the accident is not known but it is thought probably that a "softâ€"snot" in the track may have caused the cars to sway. From this the wheels might 1ift from the track and with the reéturn sway fail to strike their proper place, the cars being thrown from the track. In any case eight cars from the train itft the rAlS. Despatches from Dublin ten years ago said that seventeen Canadians had drawn lucky tickets in the Irish Hosâ€" pitals Sweepstakes in the running of the Derby. Each held a ticket on a probable starter and one had the favâ€" orite "Manitoba". The total amount of prize money to be distributed ran over seven million dollars, the total subscriptions being nearly double that amount.

From different sections of the Temiskaming area there come reâ€" ports of the pest of worms, and speâ€" cialists at the Ontario Agricultural Cof«â€" lege at Guelph have identified them us a species of cutworms. One of the mysâ€" terious points about the invasion of the cutworms is the ecarly time of the season at which they have made their appearance. It is thought that per« haps scarcity of their food in other parts of the province has driven them North so early in the year. Prompt measures have been taken to deal with the pests and one of the natural conâ€" ditions against them will be the cold nights in the North, as they are serâ€" lously affected by the cold. . Among other places where the cutworms have been reported is the golf course at New Liskeard. The Ontario Dept. of Agrtâ€" culture representative at New Liskeard has recommended a method of destroyâ€" ing the larve of the cutworms. The use is recommended of a mixture of twentyâ€"five pounds of bran and one pound of paris green in two and a half gallons of water. The bran and paris green are mixed dry, and the water added while the mixture is being stirâ€" red. ‘This "bait," it is said, has little value on cold nights, as the pests do not like cold weather and apparently keep on the move on occasions when the weather is cold and do not stop to feed. Indeed, some farmers with exâ€" perience in the matter, suggest that cold weather alone will help considerâ€" ably in killing off the cutworms.
