Thay confronted him with a record of ofâ€" fences that were now in the process of being proved after months of patient investigation. ; "Afraid I shall have to detain you," the superintendent insisted. “Surely not in custody?" > “An application dfor bail be made to the magistrate at the preâ€" liminary hearing toâ€"morrow morning." Instead he was invited to:interview a strange divisional superintendent, ‘"Mr. Philip Chetwood " ‘The inquiry, so politely made, pulled him up in his stride. see Impector Tyrrell." The refusal was firm. Superinten« dent Graham felt that he must get on with the job at once. i Harkness was driven to pleading, then to furhning. Graham returned an uncompromising negative. "Won‘t you get into touch with Inâ€" spector Tyrrell at headquarters?" imâ€" plored the unhappy prisoner. "All in good time, Mr. Chetwooad." "I‘m not Chetwood. My name is:â€"‘" “Yes'?"

"I shall make a note that you deny your identity. Where is your National â€" Registration â€"card, please?" ‘ The Man Who Wasn‘t Himsel{ Richard gave up the unequal strugâ€" gle. He had plenty of leisure in which to reproach himself for dallying, for what he had done and what he had left undone. Detention was not made arduous. An appetising lunch was sent in ‘at his own expense and a request for anâ€" other interview with the supsrintendâ€" ent was readily acceded to. The constable took him to a barely furnâ€" ished waiting room. "Make yourself comfortabic while I find if the superintendent is ready," he instructzd.

The Advance called on anyone to beat this, suggesting a contest, with "entries by the dozens", as an evidence of good faith." Twenty years ago the beer..was 4.4. Oldtimers . will recall what . "four point four" was like. It was neither "fish, flesh or anything‘"‘ but four point four. Only standard . hotels could _ stock the stuff. There â€" were only five standard hotels in Timmins So there were only five places allowâ€" ed to sell the 4.4. After a trial even the five Timmins <places did not care whether they sold it or not, It Jidn‘t even smell sitrongly of beer. Great credit should be given to Mr R. Whorley, of Haileybury,. for . the organization of the Timmins Hort!â€" cultural Society. He was here on more than one occasion seeking to have such an organization,. formed. He came here with Mr. H. J. Moore, of Toronto, and spoke on the subject. Mr. Moore gave a most interesting lecture illustrated with lantern slides Firsgt officers of the Timmins Hortiâ€" cultural Society were:â€" H.

She enjoyed the trip across the AOcean, was greatly interested in Canada, and*came back here with her. son to visit in Timmins for some time. Twenty â€" years ago there was a strong demand, led by the Cochrane board of trade, to have the T. N. O. Railway extended to. tidewater.

Mr. James Vardon, an employee of the Canada Power Co. for about a year, met death twenty years ago when he fell from a pole at the Viâ€" pond Mine, breaking his neck in the fall. While the power was turned off while the men were working, the eviâ€" dence at the inquest suggeted that the fall was due to an elcctrieal shock. ‘The late James Vardon was only 23 years of age at the time of geath and left a widow and a sma!ll child. There was great sympathy for the. bereaved ones, as the late Mr. Vardon had many friends in the town and district. The body was shipâ€" ped to West Bathurst, his old home, for interment. .
