"Then you finally stock proposition?" ; #1 guess it's what I ought' have," said Davenport, "Very well," returned Grimstead. #Gardiner, get your notebook ana tmke this." ' Gardiner had risen from the post of private secretary and so took short-hand, "Draw me up 8 proper contract embodying these points" Grim- stead instructed him, "Patents in name of Universal Power Corpora- tion, Capital stock 100,000 shares, no par value, non-assessable.

The 'attentive youth nodded, "All right. Now just to cover the point you brought up, add this: That for the first five years Mr. Davenport is to have the veto right as to any contemplated extensions of business, That suit you, Daven- rt?" #That's fine!" cried the young man, Gardiner disappeared with a @ash-light in the direction of the car, to return after 2 few moments carrying & portable typewriter.

It was near 10 o'clock before » the little typewriter ceased click- ing, and about 11 when Davenport affixed his signature to the agree- ment to sign, As Grimstead had foreseen, he did mot want to sigan the contract itself without expert advice as to its form; but, being satisfied with its substance, he was willing to agree to that, "Water, lemons, sugar!" Grime stead then called to Simmins, and set out on the ground before him four tumblers, pouring into each a generous measure from a bottle. The drinks mixed, Simmins handed one to each, Grimstead rose. "Here's to the Universal Power Corporation!" he proposed They drank, Larry saw the toil driven millions and the lifting oft yet another of the great pressures of life. Burton saw confusedly an angel with a flaming sword some- how reopening by a crack the gates of Eden, Gardiner contem- plated a vision of great activity and great wealth, Grimstead was smiling. What he saw the great invisible intelligence too were pre- ceiving through the lenses of his soul, They did not smile, They did not smile, CHAPTER XITI "Go to the Ant" The next morning a covduroy road across the meadow was made and a road around the fallen red- wood was begun, The Grimstead decided to go fishing and received some informas tion from Davenport about the lurking places of rainbow trout. "There's one thing; be sure you get the most northerly swale," cons cluded Larry. "The eountry star- fishes up there, and If you get te following the wrong canyon you'll end lost," "You hetter come along, Ross," said Grimstead, 'Ceo get your tackle," Gardiner appeared in the direct tion of the ,car, and was gone so long that Grimstead became fidge- ty, Gardiner seemed to have a great deal of tackle to rig and clothes to put on, Here," called Grimstead at last, "I'm going to make a start, You follow along when you get ready. I'l strike the stream and fish down, and you keep going until you find me." He tramped off sturdily, and 10 minutes later, after vexatious de- lays having to do with leaders apd the disentangling thereof, Gardiner followed, Simmins approached, "There would seem to be no ne: caslon for my further presence, sir?" he suggested, indicating with a turn of the head the direction of the patiently laboring self- starter, "We seem to he safe for the present," agreed Davenport, "Why? What's on your mind?" "I thought I would like to try my luck. sir." "Sure, * Go to 1! down-steam, though," In five minutes Simmins de- parted blissfully, Already he had a complete drama In cold storage having to do with his return at eventide carrying a long string of shining beauties to find that Grim- stead and Gardiner, for al! their fancy tackle, had succeeded In landing only four, and they rather small, Plunketty-Snivvles and Rapseall- fon followed Simmins, Burton, coming from her tent a few minutes later, found Larry smoking his pipe alone, "Deserted, Everybody. Byen the dogs," he answered her In- quiry. "Like to go walking?" "Surely!" she cried eagerly. They headed straight up the stream, coming at length to a nar- row gorge at the entrance to which stood detached a fragment of rock, big as a summer cottage, equare as a cube of sugar. A jagged heap of talus and debris gave a rather rough passage to the top. "Pretty scrambly," said Daven- port. "Think you can make it?" She scorned reply, but began at once to seramble up over the jag- ged talus. Davennort watched the poise of her light and graceful figure for a moment, then followed. The top of the rock was per- fectly flat, but had two elevations, one two feet higher than the other. It was carpeted deep with moss, "Hoo down" advised Larry, himeelf descending to the lower of the two elevations. "Now sit down and lean your back. Can you beat this?" The natural seat thus formed and cushioned commanded to the right a view up the stream which at this point ran straight and wide for some distance. Birds (fitted and midges hovered in the sun. "I want to know more about these gifts of yours," demanded Burton after a time. *I want to know how you knew so accurately about the rain?" "I don't know verv clearly my- self." Larry a~ "cd.

E Better go seeking for an Fabre's--the one where the Em- peror moth--" "Yes. I know. Well, that gives us a start. Now bees. and espe- cially ants, have what you might call a co-operative that is as com ¥ more intelligent and efficient than any human government. You would hardly go so far as to sap that an ant is an intellectual crea- ture: that he, or any of his ances- tors or fellows, has a brain that could think out and put in opera- tion a system of government. Yet THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, JUNE 8, 1928 "I don't know." "Neither do I; but I surmise. Suppose for the sake of argument that in the void all about and through us is a saturate solution of all possible knowledge and Wise dom. The things we call living creatures lve in this: it is ali around us: but we are more or less cut off from it by the fact that we are individual and imper- fect beings. We are in shells, let us say; particular wisdom or knowledge gets to us only through special cracks, A perfect being would have a point of con- tact for every possible knowledge or wisdom. But in our finite world every individual, whether it is a rock or a tree or am ant, 13 so built that he can come in €OM- tact only with the particular little jece of wisdom or intelligence rom the great store that he needs in his business, All the _ rest of the points of contact are blocked oft by his 'ndividual structure, Thus within his Hmits he has per- fect knowledge, It's the same ali through nature.

CHAPTER X1V Burton Finds fy Curious "That 1s the most interesting thing 1 ever heard!" breathed Burton, 'And it sounds so rea- sonable! But you know we started to talk about you, not about quails and ants. I believe you are a crafty sidestepper." "We're headed toward me, It things were all working aleng the way they should, man would have this same access to universal wis. dom that the lower creatures have. As respects all the thins he would normally run agains. in his every- day normal life he would see, or feel--perceive is a better words the causes and effects and results; hecause the stream of life would flow through him by certain chan- nels turning certain wheels," "That's what you do!" she ¢riea excitedly, "I gee!" "In a very small and practical way; a little more than the aver. age. People have just about lost that power, They have little rem- nants of it, You've heard of 'pre-| monitions' that have worked out; or a 'feeling' that some one was in the room; or experienced some one of the numerous 'coincidences,' such as receiving a letter right on top of some especial thought of the person who wrote it. You may have had dreams that came true," Yes," ft "You probably thought of all as 'uncanny.' It wasn't uncanny af all, Simply old, choked channels letting through a trickle, She pondered this a moment, her brows puckered prettily, "Is it our fault--this choking?" he asked, "How did it happen?'

"Then," she summed up slowly, "you could tell ahous the rain and the tree falling, because this cur- rent flowed through you?" *That's roughly it." "How do you do it?" *It's hard to say, I set my raind aside and then take what comes to me, [I turn my attention to the type of thing that is useful for me to know." : "Do you think everybody ought! to have this power?" | "Yes; it belongs normally in the race." : !

"I am shaken, and I don't know; I can't tell what it means." "It is - the answer to my love for you!" he breathed.

When opening a new golf ecluh-house at Harrogate recently, Lord Hawke revealed that he was 66 before he began to play golf, and he advis- ed youngsters to play cricket and foothall, which were games that developed an esprit-de-corps, Golf should mot hecome 'their chief game until they were older, Golf is Jack , Hobb's favorite game after cricket. "I was 30 before I began to play it," he sald to a reporter. 'It is not a game for youngsters to take up to the exclusion of other games. It will not develop character in the way that football and cricket do, for golf is not a team game."
