I'll marry her, Prom- ise her that she shall be the proud mistress of my three-roofed house, that she shall wear robes spun from shimmering moonlight and eat deli-' | cate foods from the thinnest of im- | perial porcelain bowls, A hundred docile servants shall bow to her-- But | no, my ardor runs away with me, Tell that my heart may 'speak its own message." "Come here?" incredulous, "Oh, the illustrious Himes may come with her!" He should do so. He's the one to discuss the wedding arrange- ments, the bridal settlements and such things. A quaint and amusing cus- tom, isn't it?" Mr. Carter left in a good deal of a huff, Sam's message, as relayed by his attorney, was not wholly pleasing to Everett Himes, but Carter declined to do more than repeat his client's de- mand, so an appointment was finally arranged and on the afternoon get Alice and her companion appeared. Miss Hart, who was under a high nervous strain, rose and peered fur- tively through the half-open door, then she motioned to Himes, Sam Lee was sprawled on a couch at the far end of the room. He was in a magnfi- cently embroidered robe and one lan- guid arm was around the waist of a shiny-headed Chinese .girl. Another girl, who held a thin-necked stringed instrument in her hands, sat -cross- legged on a cushion: both were in loose Oriental jackets and pajama- like trousers, both were giggling and tittering. The visitors retreated noiselessly to their chairs. Moy returned, he bowed thes into his master's presence. Sam Lee had risen from the couch and he invited them to be seated. He took Alice's The attorney looked over her and in a voice unnaturally thick and queerly disconcerting he be- gan a ceremonial speech of greeting. The two Chinese girls had retreated across the room and were pretending to look out of a window into the roof garden. They stole occasional glances over their shoulders, clung nervously to each other and exchanged embar- rassed giggles. Alice noticed something else, too. On a tabouret beside the couch was a queerly shaped pipe, a peanut-oil lamp and other articles which evidently went with them, An opium layort! The fellow was drugged. That ac- counted for his behavior, for his heavy-lidded eyes. Everett Himes was speaking now, he and Sam were saying something about that Stevens gir], but there was To Bermuda and back: Office Specialty Mfg. Co.

And what a change in this place since that night long ago Himes asserted gruffly: "What is it yes or no? You asked her to marry you--am I right? .. .,She wants to huaw what you propose to do about "I have enough evidence to convince any court," the girl asserted. i "But why speak of courts, my dear? You long for me, I yearn for you. I bound forward with a shout. Marry you? Well, rather!" Miss Hart had risen with a strangled cry, but Sam leaped forward ! and clutched at her. ghsped, and tried { "Let me go!" she to shake him off, "Never!" he drew her to him and his face was ablaze. "I'll marry you today, this hour--" : "Let her go, d'you hear?" It was Himes speaking, and he, too, had risen. But Sam ignored him, hoarsely he ran on: "I'll smother you with jewels, with love." Himes seized the half-demented youth and flung him aside. Miss Hart had found her voice and hysterically she reviled him. Himes was storming at him too, but Sam only raved the.louder, Alice ended the scene by suddenly turning and fleeing from the room. Himes follow- ed her, cursing; he overtook her at the door to the steel stairway. She was sobbing and her knees shook, she cast terrified glances over her shoul- der. When the pair had gone, when that metal door had clanged shut behind them, Sam shouted to Moy, saying: "Open the windows, quickly, and air this place out." The sing-song girls, his "Oriental slaves," flung themselves upon the couch and rolled in convulsions of glee, They shrieked, they kicked, they hugged each other, and he joined in their laughter. One of them managed to gasp from the depths of the cush- ions: "Oh, Mr. Lee, you're wonderful!" "I surprised myself," he admitted. "'Alice! I bound forward with a shout!" 'Posture girls!" He beught us in China. Wouldn't that slay you, ris? Do you mind if we tel! father and mother?" | "Of course not. It was nice of them to let you play in my little comeay. Burlesque, rather. I wonder that those people swallowed it!" CHAPTER XXVIII, Sam became a regular and an ex- travagant patron of the Oriental am- usement places. Entertainment wag in full swing, excitement was high in the place on the Drive one night when Moy search- ed out his employer and found him on one of the upper floors. This was not Moy's night off and Sam was surpris- ed to see him, but the Korean explain- ed that he had been forced to come, A gentleman had called up Sam's "house on the telephone an hour or so | before and had insisted upon speaking with him. The man was both uncom- plimentary and unrefined. Moy ha told him to go to hell. | After a lapse of time the person had appeared in the flesh; he had stormed into Sam's house, shattering its dignified repose with loud profan- | ities and strident demands for imme- diate audience with the owner on a matter of life and death. He had fin- ally given Moy a hundred-dollar bill instant is the way Mr. H, C. Slemin, Managing Director of the Ltd. describes his recent conversation over his office telephone with Mr, and begged him immediately to 1. the way to his employer, He was 0. | low at this instant. Sam rose and went downstairs, I: the ballroom staring with amazen on and incredulity at the scene beici: him, stood Albert Wagner, Wagner's face was haggard, it was bloodless; mew lines had bitten into it. 'When. Sam spoke to him he started: he mumbled a hoarse apology at in- truding, His expression was one of Wingled loathing and entreaty as he said: . "I've been looking all over--I've got to see you alone." "I assume it must be terribly im- portant or----" : "Alanna's sick. Terribly sick. She----"" The speaker's veice failed him; the words stuck in his throat. ""She's calling for you." Sam closed his eyes. Through the blaring of horns, the din of frenzied voices, the scuffling of feet he heard V/agner imploring him: "Come with me! It--won't take long. Hurry, please, or---- I'm afraid she's--dy- ing." On legs that threatened to give way under him Sam followed the older man down and out into the street, A car was waiting and into this they hnr- ried. Sam inquired through numb lips, "What has happened? Why does she want to see me? What can I do?" "She doesn't know she's calling for you. She's delirious, Rest assured I'd never have looked you up if it wasn't necessary!" "Perhaps you'd better tell me what happened to her." "I don't know, exactly. She's been hitting it up, running wild, for months. I coul n't do a thing with her. I just--worried. I suppose she wore out, burned up: anyhow she 2ol- lapsed, all of a sudden. That was several days ago. I didn't think murh of it at first. . . Oh, it has been hell, standing around,' unable to do any- thing. I'm about all in. Of course I got the best doctors, and a couple of nurses. Some time yesterday--I think it was yesterday--she began-- er--somehow your name popped into her mind, It stuck there. Not that it means anything--" "I understand." "Well, the nurses began to ask who Sam Lee was and if I couldn't get hold of him just to quiet her. She doesn't know what she's saying any more than a parrot; she hasn't men- tioned your name in months. Not more than once or twice since we left Par- adig, Anyhow the doctor seemed to "hink--I--I'm acting on his orders, see? He said he often.had to humor people with brain fever, give em what they wanted." For a while the two rode in a sil- ence broken only by an occasional in- coherency from the father and by his heavy breathing. "Tonight's the crisis. The doctor says--" *So! You let it go as long as you dared." Oblivious of Sam's words and his tone, Wagner talked on. "--through till morning she'll be Travelling With the Speed of Light ¥ "Tea fet fom he rks all right, RJ if ie sold 3eh her to re-t; to quit mu even for an hear orso, oo» They don't know who yoda arve--the doctor and the nurses, I mean, and I didn't tell 'em--" "Don't worry: © won't tell them, either. And you needn't fear that T'll presume when she recovers. I appre- ciate your embarrassment and I shall try not to add to it, either tonight or later." : A nurse met the two men as they entered the Wagner "suite; she: said there had been no change; she and 'he father left Sam alone. From the di- rection in which they had gone came. a voice which the younger man did not at first recognize as Alanna's, It was throaty, flat, it droned along mon- otonously. Sam strained his ears but he could make out no words, all he could hear was an expressionless, 1n- ceasing rivulet of sound, the very quality of which affrighted him.

Anemia in : Young Pigs Little Pigs Wither up and Die or Become Very Un- Losses in little pigs, prior to the weaning' age, is frequently due to anemia. The young pigs may thrive up to a certaln age, usually about there weeks, and then start to wilt. They lose weight, hair becomes rough and staring, the skin loses the healthy pink color and becgmes pale. This is first noticed in the ears, Diarrhoea is common and pneumonia is frequently |associated disease, Pigs born in the Vlate spring and summer, and get out on the soil and-in the sun do not de- velop the disease, Anemia is a late autumn and winter disease due to iron deficiency. Indoor conditions induce the disease, in that such conditions keep the young pigs away from sun and soil. Young pigs that have access to sods, soil, ashes and mineral mix- ture, are less likely to develop the anemia condition, due to lack of iron, as they can obtain the very small quantity of iron needed from such ma- terials, If you have experienced loss- e3 of young pigs while they were still on the sow, you cra advised to read Ontario 'Department of Agriculture ' Special Bulletin, "Anemia in Sucking Pigs' The iron treatment and preven- ton methods are described therein. | Be a Hairdresser Vacancy now for a limited number of students in Canada's most ex- clusive School of Hairdressing and Beauty Culture.

The value of the production of the Canadian silverware and jewelry in dustry in 1930 was $9,242,126. This was a decline of 28 per cent. from the peak which had been reached in the year previous at $11983,503. The largest item of production in 1930 was miscellaneous jewelry at $2,570,019, while other leading products were clocks and watches, $806,629; gold and dental gold, $761,880; electro-plated | flatware, $1,308,034, and electro-plated | hollowware on britannia metal, $834,- 083.

To dq away with ships or guns or azirplanes is to do something visible, tangible, in effect symbolic. It is quite differ- ent from signing pleces of pape. and making promises about what you wil do in certain hypothetical conting- encies-- a process which most peo- ple have always regarded with a certain amount of suspicion. . To achieve a definite decrease in the paraphernalia of war would be a much more effective contribution to peace than all treaties about arbitra- tion and denouncing war can ever bg. The people must constantly keep before themselves and their rulers such plain, urgent reasons as this for disarmament, and refuse to be side- tracked by political scares or tech- nical objections, . . . No doubt objections can be made by technical experts. If a technical expert cannot' make objecilonr he cannot make anything, but fortunate- Iy in this matter the power rests with the people. They want peace, and threfore they want disarmament. In Heaven's name, let them exert themselves and see that they get it. - > An Old Dodge It was the night of the village football club's annual dance, The secretary had secured.the ser vices of an ex-policeman to collect the tickets at the door. : Just as the dance was about to commence the secretary noticed that the ex-policeman was beckoning 10 him, : : i "Well, what's ed, hurrying up. | "Quick!
