The bridal procession wound down from the church with the ivyâ€"clad spire, tnrough the lych gate to the narrow lane where Hearn‘s large saloon car wainted magniticently, if a little inconâ€" piuously. He had lent it for the occaâ€" sion, and Tom and his bride seated themselves luxuriously in its .upholâ€" stered comfort. Hearn and Mr. Porberry, with the two bridesmaidsâ€"CHladys Marlowe and another cousinâ€"followed in Tom‘s runâ€" about. Gladys, looking gay and pretty in delphinium blue, had forgotten she nad ever had a grudge against Jenny for her superior attractions. She was glad she had chosen delphinium blue, leaving the carnation pink to Rosie, who sat stiff and selfâ€"conscious beside her Sshe decided she was looking imuch prettier than Rosie. Various relatives of the bride followed in another car, hired from Polsands. ‘Tom was a ilone soul and Hearn couldn‘t help feeling a little sorry for him as he saw the retinue composed of the bride‘s family. But Tom himself seemed happy enough, and smiled and nodded to the many villagers who had climbed the long ascent from the village to the church to wish him and Jenny "God Speeq." He turned to Jenny as the great car made its way cautiously down the inâ€" adequate country line. "Happy, Sweetheartâ€"wife?" he asked His eyes as blue at the sky above them, searched her face. Then he made to take her to him. "Obh, ~don‘t ‘Fom," â€" Jenny laughed happily.

Arrived at the inn, the wedding party found indeed that old Joe Porberry had "done ‘em proud." Sitting in the place of honour accordâ€" ed him as best man, Harry Hearn found it even more difficult than he had anâ€" ticipated to join in the hilarity of those around him. Three months had passed since his bitter parting with Sarah Gifford. Through the happy voices and gay laughter of bride, groom and guests he heard once again her bitter scorn as she refused his offer of marriage. The utter dejection which has settled upon subsequently had led to the comâ€" plete neglect of his business interests abroad. The trawling business he left in the capable hands of Tom, but letâ€" ters and gables from America remained unanswered often unopened.

Halfâ€"heartedly, he had played with the idea of joining the Briâ€" tish Army, but his American nationality mniade ditficuities, and he lacked the enâ€" ergy to byâ€"pass them. It was the approaching marriage of Tom Gray and Jenny Marlowe that pulled him out of his apathy. In a moâ€" ment of determined goodwill, he volunâ€" teered to be «best man at the wedding and dt the same time resolved that when it was over he would take steps to get back to America to clean things up. After that, if he wanted to join in the fight, he would be free to do so Anyway, America would be in it sooner or later, he figured. As he did so, glass in hand he had a sudden vision of Sarah Gifford as a bride. Jenny‘s pretty face, with the violet eyes and doilâ€"like mouth, crowned with the veil of the net which fell solftly over her fair hair to the imâ€" peccable whiteness of her dress, was transformed before his brooding gaze. Instead, he saw Sarah in bridal dress. Sarah looking towards him with tenâ€" derness and love. Quickly the vision faded. and he saw her with painful clearness as she had last appeared to to himâ€"regal and disdainful in her gown of rich green velvet. « â€"â€"_ _ and so, Ladies and Gentle- Mr. Porberry‘s voice recalled his preâ€" sent obligations to him, and he rose hastily to his feet. . * i cceA We * ) . .. and so, Ladies and Gentleâ€" men, I give you this toastâ€"The Bride and Bridegroom, God bless them." It was his own voice speaking. He must have been speech, though he had no recollection of what he had been saying. However, the toast was drunk with great heartiness. And then Harry Bearn did a curious thing. He crashed his glass to the floor, where it spintered with a tinkling sound which struck cueerly on all ears amidst a rathel shocked silence. "Well, Mr. Hearn, you be toast masâ€" ter, I reckon." EEC "That‘s for luck," he explained, a trifle selfâ€"consciously; his action had teen entirely unpremeditatedâ€""An old CGipsy custom!"

The speaker was Stuart Benson, who in spite of his mother‘s unspoken but stronglyâ€"felt opposition, had continued to see a good deal of Sarah since she hbad taken up residence again in the comparatively undamaged left wing of the Hall.

Although they had never discussed the matter, Stuart knew, of course, that something, had happened between Saran and Harry Hearn that night of his mother‘s dinnerâ€"party, and hope had flamed within him anew. But this afternoon he was not thinking of Harry Hearn. As the little boat sailed truculently from the shore, he tried to get Saran to speak of her plans. He wondered if he daredâ€"but he did not want her to lake him out af pity, "because he was poing to the war and all that." Always his extreme sensitiveness seemed at crossâ€"purposes with his natural desires. "Everything going along â€"satisfactorâ€" ily at the Hall?" he inquired, by way of a beginning. mally his dress was now khaki. He had done his course ol training for a comâ€" mission, and any day might bring orâ€" ders to join his new regiment. "Why, yes, I think so, thank you Stuart," Sarah said. "But I want to know all about you. You mother is goâ€" ing to miss you terribly." "Yes, I suppose so." And then an awkward silence fell beâ€" tween them. Both were thinking that Mrs. Benson‘s obvious disappointment that things had not gone her way beâ€" tween Sarah and Harry Hearn was only equalled by her relief at the prospect of Stuart‘s immediate departure "ouri of the danger zone." Sarah shivered. "The wind is changing," she said though it was not only the sudden keenâ€" ness of the freshening breeze which had made her shudder. Stuart was all lively concern. "vou‘re right," he said. "I ought to have known better than to have brought you out toâ€"day. I was a little dubious of the ‘signs.‘ The weather‘s been capâ€" pricious all the week." mÂ¥ re: ‘"Oh,, , you 7musn't blame â€" yourseli stuart, I was just as keen to come. But â€"â€"I think we had better turn back beâ€" fore it gets worse." the storm sarah showed no panic, but her face was white as the sails that bellied above ner head. In her eves lurked the shaâ€" aow af dread. The noise of wind and waters made sneech impossible, but looking up into sarah‘s still face, Stuart suddenly saw the lips form a word: "Sandbank." . And even before he had time to folâ€" low the direction of her gaze, they were flung with terrific force on to a hard surface which loomed mysteriously out of the void. The gigantic wave which had lifted the cutter and its occupants to the crest ot the treacherous sandbank, recedea with the boat in its clutches, and enâ€" gulted it as easily as it would have done a matchâ€"box. The two were left on their precarious "island." Stuart saw that Sarah had lost consciousness and with all the strength that was left in him he apâ€" plied himself to her restoration. Round them in their terrifying isolaâ€" tion the storm raged and the wind slhirieked. The shore was hidden from view by the swirling sea and the strange darkness of stormâ€"wracked skies. But the instinet to live is strong, and Stuart bent over Sarah, his whole beâ€" ing concentrated in the will to breathe life into her anew.

The excited group that had collected on the foreshore, watching the pitiful struggles of the little sailing boat, made with one accord to the lifeboat house, where the great bell was rung, sumâ€" moning the crew from their respective workshops. But when they had gathered toâ€" gether, which they did within a few minutes of the alarm, they were unaniâ€" mous in their opinion that it would be worse than useless to set out in such a storm. ‘T‘hey were brave men all of them, well and truly tried in many a hardy rescue.

The cause of death was Passenger on No. 47 Takes III and Dies in Liskeard Hospital The Late Matt Gasparach Lived Some Years Ago in Timmins. Matt Gasparach, a passenger on the T. N. O. some days ago, was taken ill and removed to New Liskeard hosâ€" pital where he died a couple of hours later. Death was due to coronaty thrombosis. In reporting the death, The New Liskeard Speaker last week said : â€" "The man ,bormn in Yugoâ€"Slavia on February 28, 1896, had been employed by the McNamara Construction Co. on contract work, it was stated. A former resident of Kirkland Lake, he had signâ€" ed up with the company at its Earlton office, and he was booked through to that pceint from Mont Joli, in Quebec province, when he was stricken. He had arranged to continue on to Kirkâ€" coronary thromibosis, according to Dr. J,. S. McCullough, who signed the death certifcaite, There was a specially large attendâ€" ance at the concert given in the Goldâ€" fields theatre on Sunday evening Novâ€" ember 19th, 1933, after the ‘Church services, by ithe Timmins and Schuâ€" macher orchestra. Osias Sauve made a capable chairman for the event and introduced the various items on a long and interesting programme. ~The orâ€" chestra, under the leadership of H. PF. Schroeder, presented a number of selâ€" ections that won general approval, while in addition there were instruâ€" mental solos, duets, and other numbers that were well given by Mr. Schroeder‘s pupils. The Timmins and Schumacher orchestra was composed largely of boys and girls who showed talent, and the evidences of good training." The speaker at the regular weekly luncheon of the Timmins Kiwanis Club held in the Empire hotel on Mon.â€" day, November 20th, 1933, was P. Lynch a former president of the Sault Ste. Marie Kiwanis Club, but then a resiâ€" dent of Timmins. He gave a review or synopsis of an address by Roe Fulker: son, the gifted editor of the Kiwanis Magazine, who had won fame by his addresses as well as his writings. The subject was "Why am I a Kiwanian" In referring to the address by Mr. Lynch, President Reg Smith expressed the general feeling of the members of the club when he said: "I do not know when T have heard so much inspiration crowded into twenty short minutes." Mrs. Tmyyna Laamenen, 101 Avenue road, met with a rather unusual acciâ€" dent while wa‘king along Wilson aveâ€" nue on Saturday afternoon, November 18th, 1933. A man came along driving a dog team; the dogs collided with the woman, throwing her to the ground In the fall she broke her arm and had to be taken to St. Mary‘s Hospital Some witnesses were eventally found who saw the accident and a partial descrintion of ithe dog team and driver were secured. Search was made for the dog team and driver but neither were to be found. The annual bazaar under the auspicâ€" es of the Ladies Aid of the Timmins United Church was held in the baseâ€" ment of the church on Saturday, Nov. 1$th, and proved a very noteworthy success. It was known that year as a Bungalow Bazaar and the plan of the bazaar followed the idea of a furnished bungalow, the result being very attracâ€" tive and pleasing. The event was spe. cially well patronized. It proved a complete success from the view of the general public, and so it was particuâ€" larly gratifying to know that it was equally successful financially, netting the ladies a neat sum. * At the regular meeting of the Timâ€" mins Golden Chapter L.O.D.E. held in the Moose hall ten years ago, the outâ€" standing item of general interest was the formal presentation of the gold medal won by Kathleen Christopher, of Schumacher. She had the highest average for general proficiency in pasâ€" sing the written examinations for the entrance to the high school in this inâ€" spectorate. The regent, Mrs. McInnis, presented the medal, complimenting the talented young winner on her sucâ€" ceSss ed to know that Miss GabSrivile Larcher, who had to be taken to St., Mary‘s Hosâ€" pita this week for an operaiion for appendicitis, is now makinz excellent progress to recovery after a successful operation."

The prospector knew there was a trapper operating in the immedâ€" iate area and he managed to make the cabin just at dark.
