REWARD SUGGESTED FOR ESKIMO 'BOBBY' Ottawa, March 8.--*I would like to ask the Government if it is will- ing to give comsideration to the matter of rewarding in some form or other the Eskimo 'Bobby' whose knowledge and skill were largely responsible for saving the lives of Flight-Lieutenant Lewis and Ser- geant Terry off the Labrador Coast?" asked John Miller, Liberal- Progressive, Qu'Appelle, in the House today. Hon. J. IL. Ralston, Minister of National Defence, re- plied that the full report of the activities of all individuals in the rescue of the two airmen had not been received by the Department. As soon as the full report was re- ceived, the whole matter of reward would be given consideration. Question: Why is the emulsified form the more Er - Ving codliver od?

It was the first time since he had left the old house next door for his school at a distant city that he had eaten a meal with these friends of his boyhood. Perhaps because their minds were so filled with things they could not speak, their talk was a little restrained. Captain Charlie attempted a jest or two; John did his best, and Mary helped them all she could.. The old workman, save for a kindly word now and then to make the son of Adam Ward feel at home, was silent, But when the supper was over and the twilight was come and they carried their chairs out on the lawn where, in their boy and girl days they had romped away so many twilight hours, the weight of the present was lifted, While Peter Martin smoked his pipe and listened, the three made merry over the adventures of their childhood, until the old house pext door, so deserted and forlorn, must have felt that the days eo long past were come again. It was rather late when John finally said good-night, As he drove homeward he told himself many times that it had been one of the happiest evenings he had over spent, He wondered why, The big house on the hill, as he approached the iron gates, seemed strangely grim and forbidding, The soft darkness of the starlit night Invited him to stay out of doors. Reluctantly, half in mind to turn back, he drove slowly up the long driveway. The sight of Mclver's big car waiting decided him, He did not wish to meet the {factory owner that evening, He would walt a while before going indoors. Iinding a comfortable lawn chair not far from the front of the house, he filled his pipe, As he sat there, many things un- bidden and apparently without purpose, passed in leisurely suc- cession through his mind, Bits of boyhood experiences long forgotten and called up now, no doubt, by his evening at the cottage that had once been as much his home as the old house itself, How Iinsepar- able the four children had been! I'ragments of his army life! The coming struggle with the followers of Jake Vodell--his new responsi- bilities, He had feared that his comradeship with Charlie might be weakened--well, that was settled now, their talk. The door of the house opened and Mclver came down the steps to his automobile, For a moment Helen stood framed against the the car rolled away. The door was closed. John recalled wnat nls father had said, Would his sister finally accept Meclyer? For a long time the factory owner had been press- ng his suit, Would . she marry aim at last? A combination of the ward Mill and the Melyer factory would be a mighty power in the manufacturing world, He dismliss- 4d the thought, He wished that Jdelen was more like Mary. His ister was a wonderful woman in 1i8 eyes--he was proud of her; but again his mind went back to the workman's home and to his happy evening there, His own home was so different. His mother! Wiat a splendid old man Uncle deter was! John Ward's musings were sud- denly disturbed by a faint sound. furning his béad, he saw the form of a 'man, dark and shadowy in the .aint light of the stars, moving to- ward the house, John held his place silently, alert and ready. Cautiously the dark form crept for- ward with frgeuent pauses as if to look about. hTen, as the figure stood for a moment silhouetted against a lighted window of the bouse, Jobn recognized his father. At the involuntary exelaimation which escaped' the younger Adam whirled as if to run. John spoke, quietly, "That you, father?" The man came quickly to bis son, With an odd nervous laugh, he sald "Lord, boy, but you startled me! What are you doing out here at this time of the night?" "Just enjoying a quiet smoke and looking at the stars," Jobnanswer- ed, easily. It was evident that Adam Ward was intensely excited. His voice shook with nervous agitation and he looked over his shoulder and peered into the surrounding dark- nes as if dreading some lurking danger. "I couldn't sleep," he muttered, in a low cautious tone. "Dreams-- nothing in them of course--all fool- ishness--nerves are all shot to pieces." He dropped down on the seat be- side his som, then sprang to his feet again. "Did you hear that?" he whispered, and stooping low, he tried to see into the shadows of the shrubbery behind John. The younger man spoke sooth- ingly. "There is nothing here, tather, sit down and take it easy." "You don't know what you are talking about," retorted Adam Ward. * tell you they are after we--there's no telling what they will do--poison--a gun--infernal machines through the mail--bomb. No one has any sympathy for me, not even my family. All these years I have worked for what I have and now uobody cares. All they want is what they can get out of me--And you--you'll find out! I saw your car in front of Martin's again this evening. You'd beter keep away from there. Veter Mar- tin is dangerous. He would take everything I have away from me if he could." John tried in wain to calm his father, but in a voice hapsh with passion he continued, and as he spoke,' he moved his hands and arms constantly with excited and vehement gestures. He was glad they had had , bright light of the interior, "then | man | | bow it would revolutionize the in- "dustry, {that not one of his fellow workmen Helen of old House By HAROLD BELL WRIGHT, "That process is mine, J tell you, The best lawyers I could get bave fixed up my patents. Pete Martin 1s an old ¥'ll gee him in his grave befo "he checked him- self as if fearing his own anger would betray him. As he paced up and down he muttered to him- self, "I built up the business and, 1 can tear it down, I'll blow up" the Mill, F----" his voice trailed off into hoarse unintelligible sounds. John Ward could not speak. He believed that his father's strange fears for the loss of his property were due to nothing more or less than his nervous trouble, Peter Martin's name, which Adam in his most excited moments nearly al- ways mentioned in this manner, meant nothing more to John that the old workman's well-known leadership In the Mill workers union, Suddenly Adam turned again to his son, and coming close asked in a whisper, "John----I---is there real- ly a hell, John? I mean such as the preachers used to tell about, Does a man go from this life to the horrors of eternal punishment? Does he, gon?" "Why, father, I ** John start. ed to reply, but Adam interrupted him, "Never mind; you wouldn't know any more than any one else about it. The preachers ought to know, though, Seems like there must be some way of finding out, I dreamed bd As If he had forgotten the pres- ence of his son, he suddenly start- ed away toward the house, Not until John Ward had assured himself that his father was safely in his room and apparently sleep- ing at last, did he go to his own apartment But the new manager of the Mill did not at once retire, He did not even turn on the lights, For a long time he stood at the darkened window, looking out into the night, "What was it?" he asked himself] again and again, "What was it his father feared?" . In the distance he could see a tiny spot of light shining high against the shadowy hillside above the darkness of the Flats, It was a lighted window in the Interpreter's hut, As they stood in the night on the balcony porch, Jake Vodell said harshly to tne old basket maker, "oYu shall tell me about this Adam Ward, comrade, I hear many things. From what you say © your friendship with him {un th years when he was a workman | the mill and from your friendsh! with his son and daughter you mu know better than anyone else, | it true that it was his new patente process that made him go rich?" "The new process was undoubt edly the foundation of his success, answered the Interpreter, "but 11 was Lhe man's peculiar genius tha enabled him to recognize the rea, value of the process and to foresee And it was bis ability as an organizer and manager, to- gether with his eapacity for hard work, that enabled him to realize his vision. It Is easily probable could have developed and made use of the dscovery as he has," Jake Vodell's black brows were raised' with quickened interest. "This new process was a discovery then? It wag not the result of re- search and experiment?" Ths Interpreter seemed to answer reluctantly, *'It was an accldent- al discovery, as many such things are." The agitator must have noticed that the old basket maker did not wish to talk of Adam Ward's pat- ented process, but he continued his questions, "Peter Martin was working in the Mill at the time of this wonder fu] discovery, was he?" "Yes. "Ob! and Peter and Adam were friends, too-" Yes." The Interpreter"s guest shrugged his shoulders and scowled his righteous indignation. "And all these years that Adam Ward bas been building up this Mill that grinds the bodies and souls of his fellow mep into riches for himself and makes from the life blood of his employees the dollars that his son and daughter spend in wicked luxury--all these years his old; friend Peter Martin has toiled for him exactly as the rest of his slaves have toiled. Bah! And still the priests and preachers make the ple believe there is a God of Jus- tice." 4 The Interpreter replied, slowly! "It may be after all, sir, that Peter Martin ie richer than Adam Ward MORE | "How richer?" demended the| other. "When he lives in a poor' little house, with no servants, no automobiles, no luxuries of any kind, and must work every day in: the Mill with his son, while his dau- | ghter Mary slaves at the house-' keeping for her father and brother! Look at Adam Ward and his great castle of a home--Ilook at his po- ssessions--at the fortune he will, leave his children. Bah! Mr, In-| terpreter, do mot talk to me such! foolishness." ! "Is it foolishness to count happl- ness as wealth?" asked the Inter- preter. "Happiness?" growled the other "Is there such a thing? What does the laboring man know of happi- ness? And the Interpreter answered, "Peter Martin, in the honorable } peace and contentment of his use- ful years, and in the love of his family and friends, is the plest man I have ever known. le Adam War jm----"" Jake Vodell sprang to his feel as if the Interpieter's words exhaust- ed his patience, while he spoke as lone moved by a spirit of contemp- tuous intolerance. "You talk Mke a sentimental old woman. How is | it possible that there should be | happiness and contentment any- | where when all is injustice, slavery upon this abominable capitalist sys- tem? First, we shall have Mberty Is Sam Whaey and his friends who live down there in their abominable hovels--is Sam Whaley happy?" "Sam aley has had exactly the same Sppartumt, for happi- ness that Peter Martin has had," answered the Interpreter. "Opportunity, yes," snarled the other, "Opportunity to eringe and whine and beg his master for a chance to live like a dog in a ken- nel, while he slaves to make his owner rich, Do you know what this man McIver says? 1 will tell you, Mr. Interpreter----you who prattle about a working man's hap- plaess. Meclver says "that the la- boring classes should be driven to their work with bayonets--that if his factory employees strike they will be forced to submission by the starvation of their women and chil- dren. Happiness! You shall see what we will do to this man Me- Iver before we talk of happiness, And you shall see what will hap- pen to this castle of Adan. Ward's and to this mill that he says is his." "I think I should tell you sir," said the Interpreter, calmly, 'that in your Millsburgh campaign, at least, you are already defeated." "Defeated! Hah, That is good. And who do you say has defeated me, before I have commenced even to fight, heh? "You are defeated by Adam Ward's retirement from business," came the strange reply.
