There was a moment of silence, then with averted eyes and in a tone of indifference the younger man said, "Your daughter Rose must be a woman now." Hiram Morris looked up gravely. -- N ab 10c a aay buys a new guaranteed REMINGTON PORTABLE TYPEWRITER with all essential features FREE-- CARRYING CASE TOUCH TYPING INSTRUCTOR Write-- Remington Rand Limited Toronto HEALTHY CHILDREN are raphy CHILDREN ao HILDREN of all ages thrive on 'CROWN RAND'?

It was a mo- ment before he could trust himself to inquire: "Where is she? What is she doing ?"' "She's out on the creek. I came in to look for a man, a helper, but-- I can't pay wages and nobody cares to prospect a claim for an interest in it when there are so many claims to be had for the staking, or to be jumped. We've about reached the end of our rope. I saw the notice of that Michigan meeting and I thought I might find somebody there." "You did," aid Rowan. When Morris looked at him uncompiehend- ingly, he explifned: "You found me." "Oh, my boy! You don't under- stand--" "I understand perfectly. You want a working partner and you'll give him an interest. All right, how much of an interest do I get?" "Why, I was going to offer a half bid "That's too much, just for a pick and shovel stiff.

You've been here two years and you haven't struck pay; I spent five years on the Yukon and never made a dollar out of mining. I left to look for something. Well, I've found it." The next morning Jim Rowan put a pack on his back and hit the trail. It was ibe first time in nearly five years that he had felt pack straps, for The Michigan Kid had taken his exercise by proxy, and he was dis- mayed to discover how soft and how short of breath he had become. He felt a pang when he heard the siren of his steamer giving the signal to weigh anchor, for he was heartily sick of the northland and hungry for the world outside. He had worked long for this hour; he felt now as if some one had offered him a drink then snatched it away. And the worst of it all was that he had no doubt made a fool of him- self! Rose would not--could not be the girl he had known--mnor could the faint spark of a boyhood infatu- ation be fanned into the flame of a COULDN'T EAT COULDN'T SLEEP Now Free of Bad Liver and Kidney Trouble and Feeling Fine a Here's another woman who felt terrible until she found how to get back * appetite, sleep soundly, and secure a new health.

Issue No. 13--'38 a5 Things Happen Too Swiftly Nowadays For People to Keep Their Diaries Written Up To Date EDMONTON.--The day of the diary is virtually past. This is the consen- sus among Edmonton citizens. No longer do romantically inclined girls or methodical boys pen their daily doings under the heading "Dear Diary--"". And why? Because things happen far too fast in this day and age to attempt to record them. Time was, pioneers recalled, when questioned by a reporter, when Aunt Sophie's lawn social or the first fleet- ing glimpse of the new "heart-throb" who just moved in next door were enough to fill at least one page of a chronicle-keeper's log. Crowded Modern Life But today? "Gosh, I have too much trouble trying to keep track of one day's dates, let alone jotting down an account of them," flashed a college girl with a smile. "It would be kind of nice to look back over the year's happenings," said one girl. "I've started a diary several times, but after a week or two I drop- ped it. Too much trouble." Nearly all the people interviewed had at one time in their life under- taken the task, but had later aban- doned it. transmuted the old-fashioned diary in- to the more businesslike memo pad. Hassock Is Back In Home Favor Upholstery Materials Range From Satin to Leather; Fur Cloth Approved The old-fashioned hassock is coming back into the home furnishing pic- ture, and is available in many differ- ent shapes. In the bedroom it is placed at the foot of the bed and usually covered with the same colored mater- jal ag the spreads or draperies. It may have rows and rows of fringe hanging to the floor. Some are up- holstered in satin materials and oth- ers in leather. They are very conven- ient and satisfactory for game rooms, too, and for other informal rooms where the family usually gathers. For modern interiors the has S get larger and larger--even folir feet in diameter and placed in a corner of a living room, where the covering might be fur cloth resembling leopard, tiger, bear or angora.

Hao Virtvnamw Teves vey veeves epee knew without asking that Rose shar- ed all of her father's scruples and prejudices. Lucky for him that he had buried The Michigan Kid. Rose had bloomed into exactly the sort of woman that Jim had expect- ed, thereby disproving the cynical statement that our realizations never equal our anticipations. She was a little more fragile than he had pic- tured her, but the reason for that was evident and it wrung his heart. Sacrifice Ten minutes after he saw her, heard her voice, looked into her eyes, | he had ceased all regrets about that departed steamship. She was delighted to see the boy she had known, and with her own hands she prepared the simple supper for three. Later she sought out Jim as he was strolling about the claim. "Father tells me that you have bought a complete outfit of supplies, and lumber for another cabin." "Yes. They'll be out to-morrow." The girl lowered her eyes and said with some difficulty: "Of course you realize that they came just in time. It's almost easier to take charity from strangers than from old friends. I'm sorry you made the sacrifice." "Charity? 'Sacrifice'? What sac- rifice 7' "Father says you were on your way 'outside'--after five years. 1 know what that means.

Cocktails, appetizers and relishes to the meal are as the frosting to the cake--the imaginative, glamorous flourish that makes a meal an out- standing event rather than a routine performance. It is only in recent years that the custom of starting the meal with a cocktail has gained such wide popu- larity. Soups used to be the accept- ed way of opening dinner but the ease with which the modern house- wife can open a can of tomato juice or fruit cocktail is a good reason for the spread of this habit. Besides, we moderns eat less and lighter foods. Soups tend to fill one up too much to enjoy a good dinner whereas an appetizer just sharpens the appetite and lends an elegant touch to the meal. Too many housewives are prone to serve the same cocktail over and over again 80 we are giving a variety of ideas for appetizers which will brighten your meals and show your originality, FRUIT COCKTAILS may be made of plain or mixed fruit juices, tart combinations of fruits and fruit juices, a single tart fruit such as grapefruit, served alone or a mixture of tart fruit and a fruit ice or sherbet. To prepare fruit, remove all skin and membrane, cut in pieces of serv- ing size, and chill thoroughly. Serve ice cold in cocktail or sherbet glasses, carefully arranged, and garnished with mint, a colored cherry, preserv- ed ginger, bright jelly, or whole ber- ries.

Household Hints The best method of cleaning fab- ric lampshades is to brush with a soft brush until all the dust has been removed. Parchment shades can be wiped clean with a soft cloth. Recessed mirrored shelves in a small dining room are both decora- tive and useful and add a modern touch. Aluminum, though it is affected by acids and alkalis, is easily clean- ed with fine steel wool. It heats quickly, holds the heat, wears well, is light and not too expensive. One of the quickest, simplest and best enjoyed first course appetizers is a halved grapefruit or Ugli fruit. Garnish centre with maraschino or mint cherry. Ever tried combining peanut but- ter with mashed bananas for a sand- wich filling? The children--and the grown-ups too--will beg for more. Give spinach an air of elegance and piquancy of flavor by serving it with Hollandaise sauce. And don't forget the garnish of hard-boiled egg slices.

MADE IN CANADA "ASPIRIN Child Continually Writes Backwards With Left Hand--Can Be Read! In Mirror Ten-year-old Agnes Sinasac, Windsor, is just about the tops when it comes to writing. It's more naty- ral for her to write backwards wi her left hand than normally with hé¥ right--and she does both. "Agnes' sight is perfectly normal and she doesn't see things in ge verse," her mother said. "But héf mirror-writing is actually smoother and more mature than straight wiih ing with her right hand. "We don't think anything of it. Agnes was unusually keen to- leath when she was a baby and we taught her how to write. But she always wrote with her left hand and back- wards and the writing had to be held up to a mirror to be read.
