The significance of the words were deeply impressed upon all who heard Dr. Fletcher as he traced the movements of the Div ine Creator and told in outline of the infinite wisdom working down ing in His greatest creation, Man, who was to reap the Ifuits of a divinely ordered preparation in the degree that he applied his intelli- gence and efforts towards the in- finite resources of Nature.

Tarte, in feudal costume presided at a din- ner for many prominent guests among whom were Sir Henry Thorn- ton, president of the Canadian Na- tional Railways, and Edouard Carter- on, consul-general of France. Four- teen guests, besides the host and hostess, were dressed in costume and assisted in serving courses brought in by a company who, dressed in the style of the period, delivered them with songs and dances characteristic of the time. When the repast had been served with many wines and much Yestivity, reproduced faithfully from the cus- toms of the eighteenth century, place cards were collected and shuffled in a box, it having been arranged that Mme. la Chatelaine (Mme. J. IL Tarte) would draw from it cards bearing the names of those who would speak briefly to the assembled company, The first was that of Sir Henry, who began, "Gentlemen of feudal origin, past, present, indiffer- ent and otherwiSe--I have heard of candals in connection with elec- tions and of ballot box stuffing, but this is the most attistic ceremony of the 5 rt that [ have ever encounter- ca, WOMEN GOOD AIR TRAVELLERS (By the Canadian Press) According to the officials at the London Airport at Croydon, women are much better air travellers than men. Even when they are over the channel they do net lose their ability for small talk. Many men passéngers seetn stricken almost speechless by the strange feeling of being borne with such certainty through a medi- um 'so impalpable as the air. Wom- en do not permit the sensation to strike them speechless or incoherent, They are not at a loss for words, even high up in the sky' They are more. seli-posscssed, air travellers than meh, and, quite fréquently, step aboard the waiting air liner at Croy- don with much greater confidence than do their men escorts. PRECIOUS HEIRLOOMS (By The Canadian Press) Precious heirlooms brought from chests and cupboards where they had been carefully stored away made the basis for an unique exhibition at a recent meeting of the St, George Branch of the Women's Institute, held at the home of Mrs. John Mal- colm. Miraculously escaping the common fate of dishes was a bowl of blue willowware, shown by Mrs. A. F. Kitchen, which, she said, was brought by oxcart by her great-great grandfather, Bowlby, who built' the first house where Port Dover now stands. A cake plate and bowl of second period Crown Derby, which was manufactured from 1799 to 1790, was displayed by Mrs. Addison. A sampler worked in 1805 by Mrs. Christie, grandmother of Mrs. Addi- son, at the age of nine years, and brought over from the Orkney Is- lands, received much attention, and one of the members had a lace cen- trepiece woven from linen which had been made from flax by her grand- mother as a girl. "Eliza Haywood, 1816" was the weaver's signature woven into the find damask table- cloth. SNOWSHOEING I HUGH IN VOGUE Winter Sport Enthusiasts Congregate at Quebec J (By the Canadian Press) Ottawa," Feb, 11.--The arrival of gome thousands of smowshoers from Quebec, the New England States, and the neighborhood of the capital, made Ottawa very lively recently. It is estimated that there were E000 snowshoers present, 1,000 having come from Montreal, and the great parade of men and women in. the picturesque blanket costumes, with sashes and tuques, and led by bands, made a spectacular scene which de- lighted the spectators. 'A somewhal similar scene is to be presented in Montreal on the occasion of the Fete de Nuit, when it is planned for snow= shoers to march from Peel strect to the Park Slide to take part in the annual cclebration that always ate tracts crowds to the top of Mount Royal. The Ottawa and Montreal affairs are a reminder that the old pastime of snowshoeing is very much alive in Canada and the neighbour- ing States to this day. were The judges for the ig, Harry Brown and William Suddard, The snowshoes worn today are made by the Indians on their rescr- vations, a famous centre being In- dian Lorette, neat Quebec City, where the workshops ate a pleasant place for visitors to enter, with the makers cutting and. shaping the hic cory and other tough woods for the frame-work, The good wife does the lacing or "gutting" of the frames.

L door of the apartment, a voice says, "Qua in the name of the law." ith Janet at the time are James Warren, a young man with whom she is in love, but whet she refuses to marry béchuse believes he is poor like herself (actually he is rich and well born, but has promised his father not to reveal this until Janet confesses her love for him) and Adelaide Krause, Janet's life- Jong friend, who has married Butch Krause, a bootlegger. Butch has just feturned from a busifiess trip and tells his wife and her Friends that the Keller gang is after him. A Dash for Freedom In the pause that followed this de- mand Janet heard the beating of her heart. It seemed an age before Jim- my said very quietly, "Let me take charge of this. Butch you don't want to be found, I take it. Hide somewhere and let mé stall for you. Janet and Adelaide, get back in the living room, quick, now then" With the swiftness of a wild hunt- ed creature Butch darted into the bedroom he and Adelaide occupied when he was home; Janet caught Adelaide's arm and dragged her into the living room. "Quick," she whis- pered, "put on some rouge!" As Adelaide shapped open the case of her compact Jimmy threw wide the door of the apartment. "What's wanted?" he asked good naturedly; "a visit from the police well, this is a treat we didn't expect --girls; here's a thrill for you!" He stood aside and a man in plain clothes followed by two policemen in uniform came in. Janet recognized in the detective the "Flatfoot" of that long-ago encounter in the res- taurdnt. Jimmy apparently remem- Bered his face, too, for he said, "I've seen you before somewhere, I'm sure, but 1 can't think Where." "You've seen me all right, young man--all of Buteh's friends have seen me some time or other. Now you just answer a few questions for me or you'll find yourself behind bars for obstructing the law." He stepped into the room "Where's Butch?" he demanded, asking the question of all three of them. "He's not here now," Jimmy said. "You can see that for yourself." "And 1 suppose he hasn't been here," Flatfoot sneered. Before Jim- my could answer Adelaide broke in | excitedly. "No, he hasn't been here," she cried, "and I'd like to know what busitiess yott have breaking into my apartment this way wheh I'm enter- taining two of my friends." "Two?" Flatfoot asked, striding to the card table; "I suppose this fourth chair was for a spook to set on." "What Has He Done?" "Just a minute, officer," Jimmy in- terposed, "it's no use our trying to deceive any oné so keen as yourself. Butch has been here this evening. Quite naturally when he came back to New York he cdme to spend the evening with his wife and her friends. But he is not here now. About an hour ago we saw a big car, I6W slung and black, parked out in front. Butch said it was the Keller gang and he thought it would be best for him hot to stay here with them after him. ! So he left. I'm sorry, but i can't | tell you where he has gone. 1 feel sure though, that he expected the Keller gang to trail him, and if you can find them they'll bé somewhere in Butch's vicinity." "Yeah," the detective grinned, "I reckon they will, seeing's they've gbt a score to settle with him, But I'd rather catch Butch, I've been want- ing him for a long time, now I've got him red-handed, caught him with the goods on--" "What has he done?" Adelaide de- manded. "I'm his wife; 1 guess I've got a right to know." Flatfoot looked her up and down. e was not a sight to command re- spect, ordinarily; too full-blown, too conscious of her physical charms, but tow anxiety for her husband lent her a new and unaccustomed dignity, and the detective's voice was almost gen- tle when he answered her. "Yes, you ot a right to know, Mrs. Krause. out husband killed a man last night." delaide, screamed, grew white, tottered, then rallied herself. "I don't believe it!" she shillied. "1 don't believe it! You can tell me anything tite you want to, but Butch never killed anybody. He hated rough stuff, he Dever even carried a gun--" "Well, he carried one this time, lady, and it went off too soon. He killed a customs officer in pursuit of his duty. We got two eyewitnesses, and it's the. chair for him when we fet him. And we're gonna get him, on't worry about that" He glared around the apartment, taking detail. Jimmy moved quietly to Adelaide and put his arm across her shoulder. "Lean on me" he said gently. "There's been a mistake somewhere. It isn't Butch they want at all, just some one they think is Butch. Sit down, Janet, Officer, on my word of in every "you cah see that these young ladies ure sefiously upset at what you say.

Nope, we'll just take a look around the apart- ment while we're here. Come on, boys, stir things up." Adelaide freed herself. "This is my home," she sald simply. "Have you a. warrant for my husband?

GALLEY 2--Instalment 29~ Flatfoot lgoked at her with: ad- miration. "Sorry, lady, but I got the warrant for Butch Krause's arrest, all signed and sealed. And I also got a warrant to search this place." "Suppose you show them to the lady," Jimmy suggested, fighting for time, wondering what Butch was do- ing, asking himself what right he had to interfere if Butch had actu- ally killed a man as the detective said. , Flatfoot pulled out two warrants and showed them to Adelaide. "O. K.?" he asked. Adelaide nodded dumbly, then with an effort, she appealed to him again. "But can't you believe he isn't here? He has run away to hide from that Keller gang. Believe me. Go look for them ,they are a thousand times worse than he is--" Adelaide's Ruse "I know all that," said the detec- tive impatiently, "I'll get them in time, too. But now we're gonna search this place. If he ain't here you got nothing to be afraid of; it he is; we get him and march him off to jail=that's all there is to it." He turned to the policemen at the door, "Get out your gums," He snapped. "This fellow's desperate and he'll hoot to kill. One man at the door, the other to help me search. Let's go. They began in th liyng room, peering under the huge davenpott, pulling out the bookcase, shoving chaits aside, tripping over rugs and leaving them all askew. From there they went into the kitchen, and there was' a great rattling of pans as they looked in all the cupboards. Janet wanted to scream. Adelaide sat tense and tearless. Jimmy lighted one cigarette from another with trem bling fingers, "Now for the bedrooms," declared with satisfaction. one of them, count on it. There ain't no way for him to get out--" Suddenly Adelaide screamed, "Hért he is, here, here' Flatfoot Her ruse succeeded in drawing all into the room where she stood near the window. Jimmy saw a Stooping figure emerge at a run from the bedroom, saw the figure make for the door, saw the officers turn, saw Butch stumble over a rug, fall forward ,the glint of metal in his right hand; heard the discharge of his gun as he flung out his arm to catch himself, heard the answéring roar of Flatfoot's revolver, saw Butch sink s as a man sinks in deep water and Jie motionless on the floor in a widening pool of blood. "Got him," Flatfoot said in be- wildered satisfaction, moving toward Butch. Jut Adelaide was before him, She knelt at her husband's side, cradlin, his head in her arms, utmindful the dreadful stain on her dress "Butch, Butch, honey boy--talk to Addie, It's your baby, Butch, Open your eyes and look at your Baby. She won't let them get you. You're safe now, Butch; safe in my arms" The wounded man groaned deeply. "He ain't dead," said one of the policemen. "Get him on the couch there antl send for a doctor--thaybe we can learn something from him about the rest of the gang." They did not object when Adelaide lifted his head, hugging it close to her, while they carried him to the couch. She pillowed his. head on her bosom, crooning to him, beseeching him to speak to her, Jimmy got brandy. The detective telphoned, for a doctor, then returned to Butch's side. Revived momentarily by the brandy forced between his teeth, Butch opened his eyes. "Speak up, fellow; we got you You're done for. Give us the dope on the rest of the gang," the detective demanded, stooping over Butch. But Butch, dying, turnéd his last fook toward his wife. "They--got-- me, honey. No use--everything I got --yours." With an effort that cost him unspeakable pain he raised his arms, puled Adelaide's face down to his and died with her answering kiss on his mouth. Janet felt the sting of sharp tears. Jitnmy was shaken by a racking sob. The policemen awkwardly took off their hats to accord even this man the dignity due to death. Only Ade- laide sat dry-eyed, holding the life- less head against her breast.

Then try these recipes for luncheon or din- ner and overcome all objections. A prune cocktail for dinner is a concoction very different from stew- ed prunes for breakfast. A ring of prunes for dessert will be welcomed as a treat, and when the same once despised prune appears stuffed in a salad no one will recognize it. In the winter, when Succulent vegetables are not plentiful and the variety of fresh fruits is rather limit- ed, it pays to use dried fruits of all kinds as often as possible. Prunes particularly are a valuable food and form an important part of the diet. Since prunes are graded for mark- et these days, it's quite easy for the housekeeper to get exactly what she wants. Generally speaking, the best grades are the cheapest in the long run, for théy ate the finest flavored and contain the Smallest stones. However, the ways in which the] fruit is to be used, of course, deter- mines the grade wantéd. runé Cocktail Twelve fine large pruhes, 1 lemon, 1 orange.

It is know as the Nor- thern type he stated and is re- garded as efficient apparatus, He plained that it was operated by electric controls and there was al- go a special safety device in case the controls failed to work, He was unable to advance any theory as to what might have caused the ac- cident. Clifford Duffell, who has been maintenance electrician at General Motors for the past three years testified that he inspected the crane twice a week and that when he made his last inspection before the accident the safety switch was working properly. Frank Ion- taine, safety inspector, algo inform- the Jury that everything seemed to be in proper working order. Provincial Factory Inspector "Ih many ways the plant of Gen- eral Motors of Canada at Oshawa is superior to other plants through- out the province in safety ap- pliances," James Ainshorough, of Toronto, provincial inspector of factories testified at the inquest. "I find that the company is always willing to c¢o-ojerate in order to reduce accident hasards" Inspector Ainsborough said that he had visited the plant here twice during the past month and had been satisfied with the result of his inspection. The type of crane used in the stamping plant was a stan- dard machine, he pointed out, and was regarded as highly efficient. The possibility that the safety de= vice failed to work was the only theory which he could advance as to the probable cause of the ace cident and resultant fatality. Dr. 0. O. Miller, one of the plant physicians who had been called to attend to the stricken msn, testi- fied that Johnston died before he reached the hospital. When he first arrived at his side, the upper part of his body was covered with blood and there were deep lacera: tions on his seal and the side of his jaw, He could detect no pulse although he heard him give three or four short gasps. was absent about twenty minutes before returning a verdict.
