OR, A LOOK INTO THE PAST THE BRAVE: 4 4 ree ' + "ev ee ¥ re CHAPTER XII.--(Cont'd) Dorothy stared straight at her fa- ther, and her lips trembled. "Kicked that dear, beautiful col- lie! Oh, daddy, how could he do it "--her face was crimson with dis- gust and anger. "What did you ° , +. v ¥ v "T confess, my darling, my fist all but met Mr. Crawshaw's head; for- see take her into the paddock."' "And--and was she really hurt, papa " Sir Humphrey's brows met. "Yea, she was;" he said, almost shortly ; "she ran lame, and moan- ed at every yard. On my life, Dol- ly, I was never so near thrashing | Zo a@ man in the whole course of my career !'" *-I wish you had done it!" Doro- thy cried, with flashing eyes. "Let Mr. Crawshaw kick his dog, or show off any of his brutal ways before me, and ----" : But here Miss Leicester had to compose her feelings and her face, and meet her guescs as they came across the lawn. "T feel as if I shall never be able to touch his hand or welcome him here again. I always distrusted and hated him, now I loathe him-- coward and brute!" she said to her- self, as she lisicned to the Hon. Ella's glowing account of the match, and watched Crawshaw saunter, in his peculiarly insolent, offensively pretentious manner, toward them. "T know if I stay I shall be rude to him, so I had better go before he comes," she mused, and, with a burried excuse, she went up to Mrs. Fairfax, and strolled with her to the house. "I will wait till Nancy is quite better, and then I will tell her," she said to herself, as she ran hastily upstairs to dress for dinner. "T know she will hate him even more than I do. Qh, dear! I wish to Heaven it was permissible to speak out one's mind to one's guests! I should not spare Mr. Thomas Crawshaw !"' She tapped at Nancy's door and peeped in, but no one was there. "Gone down to meet me, no doubt," Dorothy conjectured, with some disappointment. "I wish 'I had seen her, dear thing! Well, at any rate, she is better, and that is all I care about."' Bhe questioned Baines carefully as to how Nancy had looked, and very much cheered by her maid's gd report. "Of cuuir of sunstroke; she will run about without anything on ber head."' "Yes, miss; 1 think you're right, miss,' was Baines' reply; but, while she brushed and arranged the soft, golden curls, the maid was thinking to herself, shrewdly and quietly. "It weren't no sunstroke, more like a hgart stroke. There were a look in the poor thing's eyes as she smiled at me just now, that give me quite a turn. I wonder what has happened to her? She's a sweet young creature, as don't deserve any misfortune, that she on't!"' And while Dorothy was chatting on lightly to her maid, Nancy was making her way slowly to the far- ther end of the garden, that quiet nook that had been her one tryst- ing place down by the lower lake. "T must get strong, I must have courage to meet: them all," she said to herself over and over again, "they--they must not see.that any- thing is wrong or---'"" - She dreaded everything. She had gauged Crawshaw to his uttermost depths; she knew if she broke one letter of her. bond that. her uncle --that sole surviving link to her dear; dead mother--would be dis- graced, dishonored, perchance even killed by the result of his shame. And as if to make assurance still more sure, Crawshaw did not fail to remind her of her vow. As she "was leaving the plea- saunce, as the flower grounds .were and about to enter the wil- der and rougher part, she met one the who was. evidently s os and then her eyes fell on the collie whose laborious breathing betrayed its sufferings, and whose handsome, pathetic eyes solicited her pity. In an instant her own misery was forgotten, and she was on her ees beside the animal. '(What has happened? Oh! what has happened to her?" she cried, sharply; hé® great, tender heart could never bear the sight of a dumb creature's pain. The groom shifted his foot un- and easil sily. | 'She's only a bit lame, miss," he answered, hurriedly. "Lame! She is ill, dying; look at her eyes, they are asking us to help her. See, she cannot stand upright; something has happened to her--what is it? Foster must doctor her; he is so clever and good with dogs. Oh, poor Zoe! poor et" Her littfé white hand caressed the collie's sleek head, while a pang shot through her heart afresh at every short, hard breath that came 'from the poor animal. Everything was forgotten at that moment but pity for the dog, who had grown to know and like her even in the few short times iv had been over at the Hall. 'She should not be out here walking,' Nancy said, coldly, to the man; she thongnt him heedless and cruel. "She must go to the stables at once."' "Begging your pardon, miss, Mr. Crawshaw made me_bring her out here." "He--he could not surely know she was in such a state," she mur- mured, in faint, low accents. The groom answered her rather gruffly : "He ought to, then, miss, seeing as it's all through him she's like this." Nancy's blue eyes were turned upwards; for many a day their look of uncontrollable horror lived in the man's memory. "Through him?" she whispered, faintly. ' Yes, miss; she did something as vexed Mr. Crawshaw, and he kicked her. I don't suppose he meant to hurt her really, for she's a valuable dog; but Foster says she's injured have to be poisoned."' Nancy bent lower and still lower over the dumb, suffering creature, till her pale lips touched the deg's head ; a great bond of sympathy was suddenly riveted between this ani- mal and herself; both were plunged from sunshine to gloom, both their hearts were riven in twain, to both the bitter end had come. "Poor Zoe, he might have spared jvou " was the uuspoken cry on Nancy's lips as she rose slowly to 'her feet--her face was ghastly pale, her hands trembling. "You--you must do something for her." she pleaded, rather than said, to the groom, "she cannot suf- fer like this." "T"ll fetch Foster to her, miss, and we'll carry her between us to the stable. Perhaps she'll be bet- ter to-morrow, miss." To-morrow! Nancy shuddered. What depths of horror were ex pressed in that word! With bent head she was turuing away, when the man stopped her. "s pardon, miss, but Mr. me I was to look fer you and give you this." He held out a note as he spoke, and Nancy took it mechanically. "Go--go, and bring Foster quick ly,' she said, as a moan from the dog broke on ber ear. "I--I will wait here till you return." The groom obeyed her quickly, and she was left alone with the suffering animal stretched at her feet, fit emblem of her own shat- tered, ruined life. With stiff, cold fingers, that seem- ed to belong to an arctic clime, not a hot summer night, she opened the letter, written in the flourishing, clerky hand that she knéw well. "In case any lingering doubt re- mains in your mind, J send this to tell you that if you breathe one word of the truth about your uncle to any ividual here or hereafter, I will at once commence +p - ifigs against him.

How would she greet him? What words could she use? What manner could she bear? An icy band stole round her heart. What explanation could she give? How could she tell him the horrible truth? Her breath seemed to stand still; not till now did the full hideousness of her position come upon her. She was bound by affection, grat 't «de, honor, to seal her lips, and 5«t----- She stared suddenly; upon the breeze came the sound of her rum2, uttered in a soft, musical vvice. It was Dorothy's--she was seck- ing for her. "Nancy--Nancy, where are sou --where are you?" . She paused an instant, then pain gave her strength. "J cannot meet her yet," she said to herself, and she stole down to the water's brink and crouched be- low the bushes. "Nancy--Nancy !"' The voice came nearer--then near- er. : How Nancy longed to spring for- ward and cling to that dainty form, kiss that lovely face, and nestle close to the loving heart! "She is not here. Oh, dear," murmured Dorothy, dispiritedly ; "it's no use, Merefield, she must have gone back to the house by some other path. I do hope she is not ill again.' "Shall I look farther this way?' asked Lord Merefeld, eagerly. Dorothy shook her head. "No; no; dinner has been kept waiting as it is. must hurry back. She is not far; but 1 do wish could see her. I shall certainly send for Dr. Knowles if she is not better to-morrow. I feel uneasy about her."' "Oh, don't worry dear. You now----"' The voices died away, and Nancy was safe to emerge from her hid- ing place when she cared. Stunned, amazed, overcome with horror as she had been ever since her interview with Crawshaw, she had not realized one half the dif- ficulties, the mental sufferings that lay in store for her. "What will they think of me?' was the bitter cry that broke from her heart, as she stood with bent head and arms hanging nerveless at her sides. "What wil] Dorothy say? How--how shall I explain to her my strange conduct? She has seen that I loathe this man; she will think I am tempted by his money, that I am a hypocrite ; and Derry--Derry, who is my very life! --Derry, who has given me the whole of his great, noble heart; Derry who spoke of his poverty, and, oh God! I can't bear it--I can't endure it--it will drive me She crouched on the ground in her abject despair, while the leaves fluttered in the evening breeze, and the lake murmured serenely at her feet.

In-a lecture at the Ro~al Institution, London, the professor encouraged the belief that the secret of growth had been dis- covered. "So far,"' he said, "we have only unlocked the door of the unknown.

'Modern re- search has proved that the growth lof a giant is due to a dise con- | dition. Recent discoveries relating to the cause of giautism have shown that the key to the growth was found in what was called a pitui- tary body at the base of the skull. It is a little thing which would not fill a tea spoon. It is smaller than a grape and yet we know it to be a thing of very great importance. It was discovered by a French psysici- an, Pierre Mare, who "found also that in cases of abnormal growth this smal! body had enlarged. He jumped at the idea that it must se- crete something which somehow af- fected the growth of the body. 'Now it has been found that in the pituitary gland are secreted a number of liquor substances which are deposited in the blood. 'Os- sibly at a future date scientists may be able to extract that one un- known essential substance and by feeding oe -saniet with it be able to make rh go on continu- ously. ~ Now arouse, growth occurs in stages. There are weeks when a child STAYS THE SAME SIZE. This is followed by weeks when it grows, the pituitary body is only active . When the unknown secretion is too plentiful in adults it causes unusual stoutness, but in the young who-have not yet finished their growth an abnormal growth or giantism results.

The frank statement of the policy and the general attitude of fairness 'evidenced by this address, are suc. as to warrant more than passing comment.

P ' e Company's strong financial - tion as disclosed by the large amount of casH-on hand, and other quick assets, and the il mA After providing for interest on our Bonds and Dividends on our Preferred Stock for the year, we have been able to set up reserves for deprecia- tion, extraordinary repairs and renewals, bad- debts, etc., and carry forward a substantial bal- rrent liabilities. = consumption of cement during the past year was not as large as anticipated. Our busi- rae so suffered on account of the Railways not being able to meet our full requiremente for cars uring the heavy shipping season; consequently, we carry over from last year 781,116 barrels of Early in 1910 the price of our product was fixed at a lower price than cement had ever been sold for in Canada, excepting for a short period in 1909, but your Directers are pleased to state that the anticipated savings in manufacturing and distributing our products were such that they were able to still further reduce this price. - We trust, when you consider the above mentioned conditions, and alse the fact that during 1910 our plants were only operated to 57.6 per cent. of their capacity, the profits shown will satisfactory to the Shareholders. During the current year, we look for a larger natural demand, which demand will be sti- mulated by continuing to manufacture a strictly high grade article, and by selling it at the lowest possible price. This anticipated increase will enable us to operate our plants to better advantage than in the past, but we do not expect that the demand will be sufficient to enable'us to put into operation either of the two plants which have been idle since the cgunization However, it is confidently expected that the increased demand, and increased output, will result in further savings in the cost of manufacture and distribution,.and it is the policy of your Direc- tors to give your customers the bénefit of these reductions. . The Shaveholders' profits will depend on the increased volume of the Com the policy of the Company being the maintenance of such a stable position as wi and uniform payments of interest on its bonds and dividends on its Preferred stock, and at the same time be in a position to withstand any unforeseen emergency that may arise consequent on business depression or otherwise, which condition naturally necessitates the accumulation of, aad the maintenance of, a large cash reserve. It is also the policy of the Company to equalize the price of cement throughout Canada in so far as the physical conditions make such possible, and in furtherance of this policy, your Di- rectors have arranged to purchase a site near Winnipeg, on which they will erect, this year, @ ~ mill to grind clinker, which will be shipped fgpm one of our Eastern mills. The buildings, ma- chinery, etc., will be planned so that, should it at any time in the future be advisable, a Burning Department can be added, and the clinker produced on the property. And further, aa agreement has been entered into whereby this Company expects to ac- quire, in the near future, a property at Exshaw, which, added-to our projected plant at W-anipeg. will put us in the position of anticipating growth in the consumpticn of cement in the Great West. With the view of educating the public, and popularizing the use of cement, in addition to the ordinary advertising, the Company has published a smal] book illustrating some of the many uses to which cement may be put, for which book there has beeh a great demand, cations for same having been received during the past six months. | i For the purpose of stimulating interest in the Company on behalf of the Employes, both | in efficiency and cheapening production, as wel! as creating a feeling of mutual goodwill, your Directors deem it expedient to introduce a system, aiready adopted by several large industrial corporations with beneficial results, viz., to enable employes to become "the possessorn of Pre- ferred and Common Stock at prices which will be attractive to them, the fixed amount per share per month out of their earnings, and the Company carrying the atock for them, charging a rate of 5 per cent. interest. If the plan is put into effect, all dividends will be credited to the employes applying for the stock. Said stock will be held in trust for the employe for a term of five years, excepting in exceptional cases, such as death, when his heirs will receive what benefit a deceased employe has derived from subscribing to the stock. ' Your Directors feel that the policy, as herein outlined, will, as nearly as pussible, make the interests of the consumers, the employes, and the shareholders identical, and will inure to {| the most enduring and beneficial results for all concerned. :s All of which is respectfully submitted. -- ; mg Seg On bebatf of the Board of * WILLIAM ©.
