Storm clouds, grey and ominous, were sgatigring in the west, shutting out the fast descend- ing sun and bringing a premature twilight cut by a keen snarp wind that. rustled the trees of the wood- lands and sent the dead leaves peurrying. Shallow pools of water from recent rains were already filming with thin slivers of ice and the road that wound between grey snake#fences, \ung with flaming fvy, was rutted and slimy with mud. The man behind the wheel of the fow-slung car that. picked its way warily over the treacherous roadway, firove with tense muscles and eyes alert, looking neither to right nor left, His companion, lounging com- fortably in the corner of the seat, purveyed the landscape quizzically. "Dave, old man," he fremarked finally, with a shrug of his tweed- clad shoulders: "I'd guefs we'd better be thinking about a warm, snug port for the night. It looks. to me like that storm meant busi- ness." y The other man shoo¥ his head. "Got to make Charlottesville to- night, if we're going to be back in New York by Wednesday," "What's the hurry?" his com- panion demanded leisurely. 'We've had good hunting for a week; may pick up some more along the way. Phyllis doesn't expect me till she sees me, and anyway, what's the use risking our necks gand your highly estimable car on these in- fernal roads... My backbone's likely to come out through the top of my head any minute." "Sorry, Dick, I've tried to avold the bumps 'as much as possible. But, as to our stopping off tonight along the way, I'm frankly not m favor of it. I don't like to leave Leila alone so long." "The kid?

"Let me see, she's twelve now, isn't she?" The .other man refit his pipe. "How the years fly! Doesn't seem any time at all since Noreen died and 1 was WNolding Leila in my arms and telling her not to cry because her mother couldn't come to her any more." He glanced sideways at his friénd. *Twelve's a pretty hard age for a man to handle alone, Dave." Manning's face relaxed smile. "That's a subtle way of putting it, Dick. I fully appreciate the fact that you and Phyllis have tried to play match-maker for me for years, but it's no use. I shall never marry again." Richard Fenway grinned wryly. "So you were wise all along, old gop. And Phyllis thought she was po darned clever!" He lapsed into silence, ruminat- ing vaguely over the decisive fla- vor of his friend's claim to per- petual widowerhood and the slight tightening of his jaw which had pccompanied his declaration, . He wondered if Phyllis had been right when she declared privately that David Manning's married life had been none too blissful. Wpo- men, he knew, were always keen to find flaws in the domestic happi- ness of others, probably to counter- balance their own dissatisfaction.

The car's sedrchlight cut a path of brilliance over a road sluiced by mud and water. The heavy wheels skidded and slurred, churned futileqy at times, and gripped laggardly. "There!" Fenway cried suddenly. "On the left. See a light through the trees Turn in that gateway by the clump of cedars."

As a restlt of the incident Albert Beauchamp of Montreal was under treatment today for a flesh wound in the arm, and an automobile bore the scars of a volley of shots, Dr. J. A, Labelle, a Montreal surgeon, was summoned here by telegram the other day to treat Beauchamp's son, Alcise, suffering from ptomaine poisoning.

It is in the development of export trade that the increase has been most marked. In the 12 months' period ending April, 1923, Canadian exports totalled $953,176,194. In two years they rose to $1,080,095,816. In the 12 months ending April 30 last, they were $1,315,450,282. In other words, they rose approximately $2305000,- 000 within the last twelve months.

Analyses of the foregoing totals have not yet been completed by the External Trade Branch of the Dom- inion Bureau of Statistics which has them in hand. But figures for the 12 months ending March show that it is in the products of the farm that Canada's export trade has shown its greatest increases.

"I'll show you to the guest room," the doctor said. 'You will want to clean up a bit and I'd advise you to take off those wet coats and dry them by the kitchen fire." "Aha! The M.D. speaks!" laughed Fenway. Their host, leading the way with an oil lamp, which cast grotesque shadows in the dark corridor, shook his head: "Not an M.D., sir, I am a doctor of Science. In my time I held the chair of Philosophy at our Univer- sity, but my wife's health isn't good, so I retired and we moved out here in the country." "What a pity," Manning said. "I dare say you miss your work." "Oh, I don't know." The doctor set the lamp on the table ir a pleasant guest room boasting a massive four-poster bed, gay with a chintz coverlet.

On the platform there were many of spring's most beautiful blooms, which added the touch needed for the occasion. The entire morning was taken up by a full program by the various classes, and a short talk by Dr. Dougall. Miss Luke's class of Be- ginners gave several nwst pleasing numbers which the audience certainly appreciated. Mr. Howard's Class gave the Scripture reading, the Primary Class rendered a chorus and Miss Ruth Fisher gave a recitation on the Bible.

It was by mere ac- cident our going there. We had been at such a quaint, delightful spot, called Wicklamford, to see the church in which a flat tomb, containing the remains of Penelope Washington, said tomb, 1697, bears the well- known Stars and Stripes, the Coat of Arms of the Washington family, afterwards adopted as the National ensignia of the U.S.A.--and then on to Stratford-on-Avon, striking' Evesham we decided to lunch there. I never connected it with Oshawa until I ran into the War Memorial situated on the banks of the river Avon--a most ideal spot. Imagine when I looked at it and discovered where I was!

It is stone, and the seat which we didn't adopt, was a nice idea, as there the children were playing all about; but it didn't strike me as being dignified enough. The situation was de- lightful and also the surroundings, and the garden I must not forget; every coloured flower running riot.
