Two of thesé were in jured by lions while in a tempor- ary enclosure, and one of the two which were being sent to London died in the train. After a long interval, permit was obtained from another the Ad- Hungarian patriot and "exile, whose love for his ad- opted country prompted him to leave a good share of his fortune for the relief of aged farmers. Count Fejervary thought there might be many old farmers who would want to enter the home un- olas Fejervary, Just now the home, a fine struet. ure, 'has one inmate, a farmer sev- enty-five years old. His presence during 1925, the trustees reported, cost $3,459. Living in his solitary state he was cared for by a matron, a superintendent and men and maids, F LJ *i2, der stipulated conditions--that they he farmers of American birth who had farmed here in Scott county for twenty years, There have been only a score or so who filled the require- ments. ministration of Rhodesia and the hunter started out again. He cap- tured five giraffes, but, owing to the heavy rains, they all died bhe- fore they could be got across a river to the railroad. : It was on his third expedition that the chief hunter was badly mauled by a lion, and he died from his in- juries some weeks later, A leading citizen of Sydney played a part in the giraffe quest, though he was not concerned in the hunt, Early last year, Sir Allen Taylor went to South Africa, carry- ing with him a letter from the Tar- onga Trust to General Smuts, in which the General was asked to try and get some giraffes, Sir Allen saw General Smuts and also went to Pretoria and saw the Director of the National Zoo Gar- dens, A. Haagner. The latter told Sir Allen that there were many dif- ficulties, and even dangers, in the quest for giraffes, and this was borne out by subsequent events, Mr. Haagner pointed out that giraffes were the most ungainly and difficult of wild animals to handle and, even after overcoming the difficulties of capture, he could not guarantee their safe transport. That is why the Zoo chiefs of Sydney were so anxious ahout the giraffe that they sent an attendant to Adelaide to meet him. 4 -- 3 British Government's scheme to settle ex-soldiers on the land will have cost £10,000,000 by Mareh 31, | end of financial year.

COMFORT SOAP co., TORONTO STITT 2 El RIE 5 7 c= SN CONCERNING THE ACTION AND THE CHARACTERS ~ STEPHEN LANE, wealthy, middle-aged, despotic, rules with a tyrant hand his young wife BARBARA, who sold herself in. to a loveless marriage, and MADELON, his beautiful orph- aned niece, whose father's mar- riage he had opposed some twen- ty years before and whose guardianship now devolves upon him. He has already broken up her boy and girl affair with DUANE FARLEY, and turned him for sympathy to Barbara, who, unknown to Farley, fell in. love with him, and sent abroad, with business ruin as the only alternative, Madelon's real love JULIAN BARTON, whose suit is . 8p d by ANN ORDWAY, lifelong family friend, who loved Lane deeply despite his faults but whose lack of beauty kpt her unnoticed by him. Lane sends Barbars and Madelon to California where the latter meets HOWARD CHANDLER, fascin- ating drifter, and marries him to escape Lane's tyranny. She is promptly d and cut off from the family, and her suspicion that Chandler's impet- uous wooing was impelled by a vision of the Lane fortune, turns to a certainty when she finds out that he is an adven- turer. She dropped down on her knees and gathered him inte her arms. He snuggled gratefully against her, his face buried in the perfumed laces of her frock. * "Muvver smelled like that," he vol- unteered shyly. It's nice." She hugged him close. "You miss mother, don't you darl- ing?" He nodded, gravely. "She went away, Father said. When will she come back ?" Madelon dropped a kiss on the cur- ly hair, "Not for a long, long time . . . . But she wants me to take her place while she is gone. May 1?" He nodded gravely. "I like you," he volunteered. A sudden noise in the doorway caused Madelon to glance up. Stephen Lane stood there frowning. "Masters told me you had arrived. I expected you yesterday," his tone was accusative, She flushed. "There was much to do. make it before today." Lane's glance went to the child. His face softened marvelously. He held out his hand. "Come here, Stephen." Obediently the little fellow left the sanctuary of Madelon's arms, but when he had gravely shaken his fath- er's hand, his wistful glance strayed back to her. Lane saw it. The frown returned. "You had better understand here and now, Madelon, that I want my son to be a man, not a mollycoddle. His mother would have ruined him if she had had her way. I don't want you to make the same mistake. Leave the coddling and the kissing to the girl babies." "You mean that you don't want me to tuck him in bed at night and hear his prayers and tell him fairy tales?" Madelon asked incredulously. "By no means! My son is not to be a weakling. Nurse has her instruc- tions. The less you interfere in the nursery, the better." Hurt to the quick, slowly downstairs to aside for her. It was going to be harder to carry out Barbara's request than she had ever anticipated. Copyright 1923, Metropolitan News- paper Service, New York.

The great iron-grilled en- trance door frowned behind her. She looked very young, and slight, and un- protected, in its shadow. He had a momentary vision of an- other girl who had stood like that and looked down at him with pleading eyes. Barbara's beautiful, pale face seemed to float toward him out of the gloom. The purple-black eyes were wistful. "I may sec you again?" he asked. "Surely after all these years, your uncle has relented toward me." She shook her head. "I don't know. He rarely changes. 3ut. I will let you know." He took an eager step toward her. "Then you really care to see me?" "Why not?" she shrugged smilingly. "Have you not always been my good friend ?" "l have wanted to be a great deal more than that," he said softly. She found his gaze disquieting. Surely this could not mean that, after vears, her old lover still wished to re- turn. Had he, then, not cared for Barbara? Or did men' forget so quick- y 4 She dismissed him with a gay wave of her gloved hand. It feigned a lightness which she did not feel, as she entered the house, and heard the heavy door swing to behind her. | The lights burned dimly in the hall- ways and cast cerie shadows. She started nervously when Masters glid- cd silently up behind her. "Will you wish to see Master Step- hen before Nurse puts him to bed, Miss Lane?" Madelon looked at him enquiringly. "Why do you call me that? I am Mrs. Chandler now, Masters. His expression remained impassive. "Mr. Lane's orders, ma'am," he said. Madelon sighed and followed him up through the gloomy upper halls to the nursery. So she was not even to be permitted her own identity! Stephen Lane's niece, Stephen Lane's chattels! Little Stephen was just finishing his nursery supper when Madelon came in. He rose shyly at a glance from the the prim nursemaid and offered a rosy little hand. "How do you do?" he said with par- | affes rot-like intonation, and stood 'staring up at her with eyes so like Barbara's ) that her heart contracted.
