mutual something in the eyes of both and when he said good-morn- by anne merrill great homage was paid to tfle horse due to the assistance of this noble and in the canadian capital on may 24th useful animal sobs increased the weight on jeans shoulder was lifted and the tragic eyes of the actress streaming tears and eyeblack looked at her yes yes of course she mur mured brokenly ill go at onceno not today tomorrow or perhaps the day after hes in paris you see xet day madeline sinclair came j down to breakfast and announced i brightly that she was going to paris everybody stopped eating it was ing and she rcplied they both passed i marvellous they considered to be able to go to paris as quickly and easily that they had known each other for ages its very funny said jerry when a day or so later he was friendly enough with her to talk in this strain what is funny asked jean flush ing in spite of herself its funny the way i feel towards you i mean as if ive known you all my life he answered firmly and jean felt her cheeks grow so hot that she dared not look up at him but murmured an excuse and ran away to the kitchen there in the mirror over the sink she looked into her own eyes and confessed to her heart peeping through them something thats moment ago had seemed almost incredible in its unexpected wonder i love him she told herself then she was confined and bother ed and started to strain off the pota toes with such agitation that they rolled into the sink now this might have been quite a straightforward love story had it not been for the arrival of madeleine sin clair she was an actress tall wil lowy and blonde and on and oft for three years she had occupied the first floor front during those periods known in the theatrical profession as rest ing this time madeline sinclair told jean ruefully that she was rest ing for a long time because her voice had to face facts as sho saw them as all that so madeline sinclair went off and jean stood on the step waving good bye to her then she went upstairs and started on the beds she left jerrys room until last it was fun to dust his room and arrange the things on the dressingtable she lingered a long time over his brilli- antine his comb and his brushes just as sho was moving the case that held his brushes something rat tled inside and out fell a pearl neck lace she recognized it at once she bad seen it too many times heard its story too often to mistake it it was the valuable one madeline sinclair had been showing him a night or two ago it was a terrible shock jean re called the visit of the policeman his talis about a firearm license might have been bluff so as not to scare her oh what a little beast she was to distrust jerry so easily still here were the pearls in his brush case and the policeman had called and aunt emmeline had taken him in without a reference and and oh it was too hopeless too horrible she didnt want to suspect jerry one half of her simply refused to think of such a thing but there was the practical intelligent half ot her that read of such cases in the newspapers that when the ottawa horse parade ami show association held its third an nual event there were three hun dred and sixtytwo entries of splendid animals big and little old and young and the gay procession took fortyfive minutes to pass a given point on par liament hill where the parade which had formed at by ward market turn ed down metcalfe street and pro ceeded to lansdowne park being later reviewed before the grand stand and where ome notable speeches were made including one by the lieutenant governor lord willlngdon began in a humor ous vein saying that he had just attended the toronto races at the woodbine where he had lost a cer tain amount of money and then mentioned his having recently judged cattle at brampton he took occasion j to remark that a judge satisfies one or two people but givos the rest the impression that lie is the worst judge in the world i striking a serious note his excel lency recalled the days when he was i an agriculturist and u ed to farm and breed horses himscf people tell us there is a period e depression in this country he stated but just look round the world and you will find that of all countries canada is the best to live in canada is more fright ened than hurt he went on and it will have many years of prosperity i i have never seen farming conditions in this country more satisfactory than they are this year mr w d mckay of moose jaw sask president of the canadian live stock producers said he was glad to see the horse given the right of way for a day on the streets of the capital adding that any consideration we can give our fourfooted friend will help to develop the instincts of humanity ho came he said from the west where perhaps more than in any other section they owed a great debt to the horse and mr mckay made the assertion that the hundreds of mil lions of bushels of wheat wo now produce on our prairies wero largely had croaked and her varicose veins were so bad no manager would even look at her so i shall have a nice long rest and get myself up to concert pitch again she said hopefully jean was very sorry for her be- even if jerry had had stolen the pearls sho loved him just the same and maybe it was only an impulsive action she suddenly picked them up and clasping them in her hand she walked resolutely into madeline sin clairs room opposite and put them in cause obviously her days for securing 1 tho drawer of the dressingtable juvenile leads were past and her vanj when he came home that night sho ity would never let her acknowledge j beckoned him into tho pantry and his pale and unhappy she told him what prom the very first when they met sho had done ench other at dinner madeline sin- i was dusting your dressingtable clalr took to jerry as a duck takes to the water they discovered a mu tual interest in antiques jerry was assistant in an antique shop and from discussing china and old gold they passed to more personal topics and soon were on the friendliest terms jean was miserable about it not for one moment mark you that she though that her chances of jerry were slipping in madeline sinclairs direc tion bat because with so much mono polizing jerry very rarely encountered joan on his own and they could not fpeak to each other in greater detail about iiiat feeling lvc-known-you-for- es they shared when jean one evening took the and i found tho pearls there sho said steadily look here jerry ive put them back in miss sinclairs room i i dont think you meant to take them anyway if yon did i still love you and no one elso will ever know see then she covered her face with her hands and cried and cried until he moved them with his strong fingers and held them tightly against bis lips oh my dear so you saved me from being a thief he murmured tenderly she raised her face to his very pale it was witb furrows of tears on her cheeks but darling youve mistaken my motive ho continued gently and mr bower henry president of the ottawa horse parade association spoke of the horse as mankinds greatest servant in peace or in war and added amidst applause we are giving honor to the most faithful dumb animal we have after the parade had passed by 1 was walking up to the house of commons with mrs george black frgs of the yukon when mr felix quinn mp of halifax joined us mr quinn made the comment that he had no idea there were so many beau tiful horses in ottawa to which mrs black retorted that the recent state ment of the horse having become a museum piece must be untrue tile lady from dawson when asked what impressed her most about the horse parade said that the men looked to be so interested in their animals and their carts were so freshly done up with paint and generally ship shape i liked the ottawa journals com ment that the animals wero proudly displaying little extra decorations which to equine consciousness must have brought realization of a very spe cial occasion tho little extra decorations were fascinating there were big black horses with rows of tiny pink rose buds or lines of red tulips stiffly perch ed along the ridge of their braided manes and an additional rosebud or tulip stuck at a jaunty angle in many a braided tail a touch of humor was introduced by groups of boys riding on parade carts who made laughing faces at envious youngsters standing along tho route there might have been livelier horses suggested the ottawa citizen but certainly none that felt superior to liz aged twentyfive a roan who bad seen
