Clarke of GINGER FARM .™.™". .™ ee -- es What I have longed to write ean now be wryitten. The wheat is in! Yes, that's all 1 wanted to say--it doesn't sound very exciting does it? But there it is, and 1 can tell you every sheaf of grain that goes into the barn is mighty Important these days because every farmer is looking at his livestock rather doubtfully right now, wondering if he will have feed enough to winter them, and if not whether there will be a short- age of what he may have to buy. And you people who buy your butter, crcam, milk and eggs, you may yet come to realise why the farmer worried about feed for his livestock. It may be your milk bottles or in the eggs that you buy--especially when export trade must first be taken into consideration. » * » However we don't have to worry about wheat. We never had such a heavy crop. Twenty-one loads off six-acres. What we would have done if son Bob hadn't been home I don't know. Now all three men are complaining about sore backs and aching limbs--but they have the satisfaction of knowing the wheat is in the barn and not out in the field where right now it would be geting nice and wet as it has been raining since sometime during the night. » * * 'Many farmers in this county have been glad to take advantage of Farm Commando help from the city, and, according to all reports, the Commando workers have given splendid satisfaction. They work 'hard, and the farmers work hard, but if you ask me, the hardest reflected in ~ worked man in the county is the Agricultural Representative, who is responsible for ordering and placing the men where they are most needed. It is a wonder to me that the poor man isn't going in circles. Take our own case for instance. We wanted a man to help stook wheat. All right, we could get onc. The next day it rained--that meant more tele- phoning to cancel the arrange- ment. And 1 suppose what held good for us held good for other farmers iu the country. Another time we wanted help but as a sufficient number of farmers had not applied for help no men were sent out. Another time our local "Rep" phoned out to see if we could use a man as he had more men than he could place. It so happened that we couldn't. So there you are -- and if that is a sample of what is going on all over the county then 1 say that acting as a go-between for far- mers and farm workers is surely no picnic. So, when we give credis to the city fellows who come out to help the farmers we certainly shouldn't forget to also give credit to the man who helped to get them there--onur local agricultural re- presentative. * * * I mentioned a few minutes ago that it had been raining. And this is 'a holiday week-end and our city folk are here to enjoy a few days in the country. Sunday wasn't too bad--cool, but at least it was file. Monday, dismal, dull and raining. The lights have been on in the house nearly all day. So what did we do? Well, I'll tell you. Daughter is giving the house a 4 25th. For further information regular lLousecleaning all in one day!

Partner and Bob dismantled an electric stove that was to be packed up and taken Partner's brother in the city. The idea was to send it by trans- port but after taking it to. picces they decided it would be just as easy, if they could -get it in the car, to dcliver it personally. They got it in all right, so now, they are away. Daughter is still sweep- ing and dusting, the windows are nearly cleaned, the weather is clearing and I'm hearing a few remarks about going out to shoot ground-hogs, And I--well, I'm nice hot cup of tea would be quite in order, and after that I think I had better set out to prove to Special Courses: Business Administration for young men who "plan a business career; - Journalism, a new course for writers who desire to enter this fascinating profession.

He bent and took the keys from Rog er's pocket, "Thank you," He stcod up. "And you, my friends. Let this not spofl your merriment. It Is war, you know--a war whose demands transcend anything else." "Even the love of God and the love of your brother," sald Meri- del. S "Princess of .Gratzen." Oberlieu- tenant Faber bowed stiffly, "I ga- lute you. And yes--even perhaps such loves as you mention. I am glad you have found sanctuary in this country, It would be a shame for such beauty as yours to suf- fer." . . -. "Make haste!" said Kehl In Ger- man, "There 18 no time for talk, You know the prétty one? She is the Princess of Gratze, hein?" He bowed slightly, his mouth set in a hard smile, "She is warm here, nicht? We shall go now." Roger had risen slowly to his feet. Rudolph stood beside him, Meridel moved close to the old lady whose eyes never left the thin, stubbled visage of Michel Fabre. "Oberlieutenant Faber," she sald. "A little child stamped on your picture and said she hated you." "It is war," he said. "War. You do not understand, you people, You will know one day soon. Auf Wie- dersehen." No one moved. Not until, above the low moaning of the wind, they heard the sound of a motor, did anyone have the will to speak, to tink even, of what had happened. Roger went to the window then. Meridel came and stood beside him, her hand through his arm. They saw the tail lights of the station wagon receding until they were only fiery pin points; then nothing, * » * "They'll be over the border be- fore morning" said Roger. "I'll go at once to St. Didier and tele- phone the police and the military from there. It won't do any good. They must have it all figured out. I suppose they'll 'trade' the wagon for some other car before long. Mike -- Mike seems to belong there." His mouth was swollen, --iwisted now mores with s¢orn than pain. Oberlieutenant Faber. I'll bet he has the Iron Cross." "Yes, monsieur, he has." It was "Rudolph who spoke, softly, sadly. "That and other honors from the game gource." "My God, Rudolph!" Madame got up from her chair. "What is this you tell us? What do you mean?" . "lI did not mean to speak of it ever, Madame." Rudolph stared unhappily 'at the fire. "But now there is no point in keeping si lence. It was Jules Goujon who told me--Jules who once happen- ed to see his picture--the one Mer- idel has. And Jules knew how much Meridel was interested in that 'one.

She took hér own handkerchief .and reached up and dabbed ft agalnst his mouth, helping to stanch the flow of blood from the 'cut lip. "I was a young girl with a lot of silly dreams." The air was keen and sharp as Roger ran most of the way to St. Didier des Montagnes. Pere De- lambert paced up and down the long hall while Roger called the provincial police, the military au- thorities in Montreal, to tell them of the two escaped prisoners, of the taking of hig station wagon, "Yes, some hours ago," Roger sald, "One of them had a gun. They wore sheepskins, knitted caps--if that is any help. I fanty they'll have a change of clothes, I--I1 hope you get them." He hung up slowly and went to the cure's fire where he lit a clga- rette and leaned an elbow wearily on the mantel. There Pere Delam- bert found him and quickly moved & big leather chair for him close to the blaze. "I could not help hearing. It has then been an exciting évening for you at the Chateau Philibert? There was. no violence, I trust." * Ww * Roger touched his lip ruefully, "I had a wild idea of throwing a book-end--Rodin's image of "The Thinker'--I never liked it--at the fellow who held the gun; the other landed with his fist on my mouth before I could get going." 'His fist was always like iron, thought Roger, recalling other days. The cure's man drove him back home, covering in a few minutes the long miles that had taken hours of walking and running, Roger ran up the steps of Phili- bert where the lights in the down- stairs living room still burned. Madame and Meridel and Rudolph were sitting there. The fire burn- ed cheerily. 2 "There," sald Roger, standing straggle-legged in front of the fire, facing them. "I informed. the au- thorities, The chances are they knew nothing about the escape. Perhaps the discipline in the camp had slackened a bit. But the hunt will be on now." "You think they will be taken?" Meridel's eyes were bright in the firelight, but there was a tired, drawn look about her mouth. "They will not be allowed to cross the border, to regain their own country in time and again cause death to the Innocent?" » * * Roger shook his head. "I do not think they'll be recaptured. Mike-- Mike"--repeating the name he smiled bitterly -- "knows every road and byway between here and the line. He knows what doing--always did know." Madame stood up straight and defiant. "I am not finished yet. Michel Fabre always defied me, al- ways had his own way, always laughed last, But tonight I have pity for him, the anger has gone out of me. It would be a mercy it a bullet from some guard's gun would put an end to a life.like that. A traitor, a murderer--! God have ed the old lady from the room, leaving Roger and Meridel to the quiet there, the soft murmur of the flames on the hearth, the low volces of the wind In the_trees.
