CLAREMONT Claremont, Nov. 10.---~The hunt- ing geason is now on and a num- ber of our sportsmen including Walter Ward, Vincent Baker, Wid. Miller and Frank Ward left on Wednesday last for the northern part of our province, We wish them every success in capturing their share of big game, A few interested people have been canvaseing many of the pat- rons of both the Home and the Stouffville and Bethesda tele- phones in the village and sur- rounding country, Their object is to secure lower rates that will be more in keeping with other prices. A light blanket of snow covered the ground last Friday evening but disappeared next morning. The weather continues exception. ally fine for this season of the year, and those who have been viewing the western sky at the end of the day will have admired some of our beautiful sunsets. A plowing match seems to vie with a country fair as to the at traction it holds for a farmer or ex-farmer, The one held last Wed- nesday, November 4th, on the beautiful 600-acre farin of F, P. O'Connor, Wextord, furnighed a pleasant day's outing for a num- ber of men from our village and vicinity, Destroyed by Fire The destruction by fire of E. Nerlick's residence, 7th Conces- sion, Pickering, on Tuesday even. ing, November 8rd, effaced one of the fine old landmarks of this vic- nity. The stone used in this dwelling which was erected many yeats ago, had been selected with great care and was of oxceptional beauty. Since Mr. Nerlick purchas- ed the property from the late Da- vid Russell, a few years ago, a great deal of time and money have been expended in beautify- ing the erection of large stone gptrance pillars and in other simi- 1 ways. This year alterations had been made to the interior of the home and a hot-water heating system with oil furnace had been installed. While the origin of the fire ve- mains unknown, it is thought pos. sible that it had originated from the furnace which Mr. Nerlick had lighted that afternoon before leaving for the city to bring back his wife and their little son who, 'was being treated by a Torentd doctor. As he found that the 1it-} tle fellow was not ahle to b brought home he returned alon Just before midnight. On nearin his farm he received the grea shock of seeing smoke and flames his residence and it was under (Continued on page 8) °/ emanating from the north-end. of: INSTALMENT THREE Rackruff Motors hire Rowens to accom- pany Peter on a nation-wide tour in their roadster as an advertising stunt. At the Jast 'minute Little Dobby is engaged to act as chaperon, , A few miles out Bobby becomes tearful at being parted from her sweetheart and Rowena insists on taking her place in the rumble so that she can ride with Peter and have him to talk to about Carter, Rowena gets Peter to consent to divide the expense money each week as soon gs it arrives, and astonishes Peter by eating too econ- omically, . 5 » To his intense amazement Row- ena flushed hotly and bit her lip in some confusion, and most surpris- ing of all, said nothing. Already Peter found it amazing when Row- ena had nothing to say. Certainly she had plenty to say at Niagara Falls when Peter pre- pared to do his picture of the Rack- ruff roadster, with her at the wheel, both showing faintly under a fine mist of falling water. When it came to doing pictures, Peter was unbear- able, rier himself could not have been more hatefully dictatorial. He told her what to wear, how to sit, how to rouge her lips. He told her how to hold the wheel, which way to turn her head, just where to fluff her hair and where to draw it back. "Oh, Peter," protested Rowena faintly. "Please don't do my profile. I'm terrible that way. My face is too thin for a side view." "Oh, I'l fill it in for you," said Peter comfortably, "It shows up better in the car." "Oh, the car, the car," muttered Rowena crossly. "It's all you think 4 "It's all I'm paid to advertise," said Peter cheerfully. When he had finished the picture Rowena wrote a brief adjectivorous story to go with it, and both were dispatched to Rackruff headquarters for immediate release. In addition to the motor story she wrote a short skit every day for use in the news- papers of different cities as they passed through, At Rackruff headquarters in Chi- cago they received their first mail from home. There was one fat let- ter for Rowena, addressed in a_big boyish scrawling hand, And there was one for Peter from the com- pany with instructions for the tour and a check for the following week's expenses. y Bobby was thrilled with a huge package of telegrams, twenty in all and every one from Carter, It seemed that every ome of Carter's finer feelings was highly outraged, for each of the twenty telegrams ended with a stern command for her to come home at once. Even in his wildest nightmares, he said in the telegrams, he had never conceived of a horror equal to that of seeing her much-loved features on public posters and mon- strous billboards on every conspicu- ous corner in town, advertising a cheap new roadster. Bobby's first intention was to ig- nore each and every one of these telegraphic outbursts, but by mid. afternoon she had relented so far as to send him a five-cent post- card picture of Lake Michigan. At suppertime she sent a telegram say- ing they had arrived safely and were leaving early the next morning; and then kept Rowena awake until three o'clock in the morning with the scratch of her pen as she wrote him a detailed account of every thing that had happened so far. After Rowena had read her single fat letter and smiled over it, and frowned over it, she went to her pocketbook and counted her money, down even to nickels and dimes. Then she called Peter's room on the telephone and asked it he would please give her her share of next week's expénse money right away. "Of course," replied Peter. "If you need more I ¢an let you have it.--Don't ever run short of money, Rowena, we can always squéeze out a little extra some way." "Thanks a lot, Peter," said Row. ena gratefully. "I think I ¢an man- age after this. But you're sweet to make the offer." Even Rowena was amazed at the number of things about which Peter had his own dean, all bad ones. The roads provided an unfailing source of dissension, Their route was clear and definite. From Chicago they were to go south ta St, Louis, from St. Louis to Kansas City, from Kan- sas City to Denver. Nothing could be plainer. Between these cities stretched a broad highway, heavily traveled, expensively paved. The car was supplied with the best of mator maps, and the roads were clearly marked at every turning. Rowena --sitting in the snug shade of the stout umbrella she had bought, was comfortably satisfied to travel swift- ly, steadily along the main high ways from one objective point to another. But Peter was all for short-cuts across country, and for all his de- ceptive air of extreme amiability, was strongly entrenched in his per- sonal preferences. At every town-- although not, as Rowena disagree- ably claimed, at every telegraph pole--he made hopeful inquiries for shortcuts -- for side-roads -- for country lanes away from the tra. veled thoroughfares. Bobby, as becamera professional chaperon, was non-committally neu. tral. But so far from appreciating her disinterested amiability, it seemed more irritating to the others than the outspoken opposition they met in each other. And often they turned upon her sharply as if she were to blame for the entire argus ment. It was in an exquisite wooded dell in southern Illinois that Rowena had her revenge. They had stopped and the wooded dell first, while she was putting her notes into perman- ent form, and then paint her in be- hind the wheel later on in the af- ternoon when the rest of the picture was done. Peter was perfectly will- ing, even eager, to lay over for an extra day, thus to allow time for her work as well as his, but he said a picture never turned out as well when a lady. or a house, or even a dog, was added to a finished roduct, Said it always stuck out ike a sore thumb and never looked just right. Rowena put up a good argument --Rowena always put up a good argument--Rowena lost her temper --she usually lost her temper--and the delicious log cabin waffles and honey were ruined. When, very sulkily, but prepared to pose, she flounced down where Peter had parked the car beside a shadowy pool and was setting up his it and would not use her in that picturc--said Bobby was willing to a good thing all round, Peter was quite pleasant about it, really thought he was doing her a favor but Rowena, from being merely | 0) 4 casel, he said he thought better of prey, substitute and the change would be}s Bobby wild!

She said she had been hired for no other purpose than to serve as a dumb model for his art and that she would jeopardize her contract by accepting this substitute. But Peter insisted that Messrs. Rack and Ruff had left everything about the pic- tures to his own exclusive judg- ment, and this was his judgment. "Bobby is putting on her little red sports suit," he said, "and the costumé will show up nicely in this green dell" "I know Bobby's clothes are much better than mine," said Rowena stifily. "I know my things are very shabby and threadbare, but it scems scarcely necessary to throw it up to me.' "That is very unfair of you, Row- ena," said Peter gravely.
