The Master's Son Wins Her "The master's son set about to try and find out where his lady-love had gone, but no matter where he went and whom he asked, he never heard anything about her, and for the love of her he pined, and he got worse and worse, until he had to take to his bed. And the cook was ordered to make some gruel for the young master 'for he Is dying for the love of the lady.' .'"Let me make It.' says Cap o' Rushes, but at first the cook would not, but at last she said yes.

R. H. Mulock, of the aviation depart- ment of Canadian Vickers, Ltd. The Dominion Government has been 100 per cent, back of commercial air service with the object of proving that the business of Canada can be acceler- ated and improved, Col. Mulock said. He pointed to the success of the air mail services inaugurated by the Post Office Department between Montreal and Ottawa; Ottawa and Rimouski, and Toronto and Montreal. These planes, picking up Atlantic mail, ad- vanced the delivery 24 hours west- bound, and from four to five days east- bound. Another important service was to be added soon, connecting the mails between Albany, N.Y., and Mont- real. Adidtional winter services had also been installed assuring quick mail deliveries between Murray Bay and Seven Islands, Monclon to Magdalen, and weekly trips to Anticosti. There was also a considerable amount of postal trafllc t>eiug similarly cared for between White Horse and Dawson City. ^ East and West The future of Canada's air mail will bring the east and west much closer. Col. Mulock said. He referred to the pioneer days when railway transpor- tation helped to create the spirit which brought about Confederation and pro- phesied that a scheduled air transport would bring both sections within "breakfast table chat" of each other. Such transport will be in force in Canada within the next three years, ha said. With proper air zones, light- Ins guides and wireless communica- tion there was no reason why Canada should not enjoy 96 per cent. «fflciency la travelling through the air on sched- ule, he said. A' reliable service of this nature would undoubtedly be in force by that time from Montreal to Van- couver with stops at important Inter- mediate' points. With regard to safety 1ft heavier when steamers were tied up and would not risk leaving port in storm periods. For future trans-Canada passenger service the huge transport planes must operate either on wheels or skis ac- cording to seasonal conditions, he said. Air equipment In Canada, be believed, would always cost more than In the United States because of the lick of necessity for extensive produc- tion. miles an hour, and a cruising range of 590 miles. Types of machines being made at the plant include the Vickers "Vista," a single seater with metal hull; Vick- ers "Vedette," throe-seater, pusher bi- plane, adaptable for photogrophy; Vickers "Varuna," soven-soater hi- 1 plane, now being used in Government service; Vickers "Avro," two-seater biplane, a commercial machine; Vlck- jers "Vigil," two-seater biplane destgn- I Col.
