THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, AUGUST 26, 1929 PAGE SEVEN' (Continued from Page 5) Just py way of diversion we now had an argument as to wkich way he nearest farm-house lay from 'where we were. We had determin- 'ed to postpones trying to reach Falr 'Oaks until morning and wanted food and shelter for the night. | .I thought that I had seen farm buildings on our right, about a mile back on the trail Hemming- way insisted that they were on ithe left. | "There is no use quarreling about ft," 1 said finally. "There is nothing ito prevent each of us going the 'way he thinks is right. It's a cinch we will boty find shelter if we keep going far enough. |" So we separated. We had grown {intensely tireq of one another any- way; especially since hunger had put an edge on our tempers. Hem- imingway started southwest and I {branched off over toward the north. {It grew dark very rapidly after the {sun was gone, but the snow on the {ground made it fairly easy to see land I was able to hit up quite a {fast pace. But the farm-house I thought I {had seen did not materialize. I could have sworn it was in that di- rection, too. Rather than give up.I ipushed on further. I did not like the idea of going back to Hem- mingmay and admitting that T was wrong. Surely if I kept on in the same direction I had been going I would eventually reach some sort] of shelter and food! It was a long time, though, be- fore I saw a welcoming light. I can't say just how long, but I would have guessed several hours. Anyway I was so thoroughly fa- tigued that I could barely drag- one ski after the other. But when I saw the light I quick ened my pace and made for it. I was afraiq that the people who lived there would go to bed before [ could arrive. As I passed over the snow I had a curious sense of familiarity, a fecling as if I had been there before. It wasn't go much that I recognized hall away from me. It disappeared in a moment through another door. I waited perhaps two minutes, -It reappeared again and passed on to the next room, I was in a quandary what to do. If I raised an alarm the chances were about even that he would es- cape. It seemed hetter to capture him single-handed. Therefore, when he disappeared into the next room I followed down the hall. As I did I heard a door In back of me open, but was to intent on my quarry to pay much atten- tion to the sound in the rear. 1 came to the door where I had seen my man disappear last. It stood open. I stepped in and closed it softly after me. Next I felt grop- ingly for the electric light switch on the wall. Before I coulq find it there was a, woman's scream in the room some- where ahead of me, and then at my back I heard a clicking sound in the door I had just closed. My hand found the turned it on. Sitting bolt upright in bed, with a revolver leveled at me, was Mary- ella. There was no one else in sight! CHAPTER XII Several Surprises "Throw up your hands," Mary- ella commanded, undecided how to treat a burgular whom she knew by his first name, but choosing at length the conventional proceedure. "I will," I agreed, *'if you'll point that shoe horn in some other di- rection." She threw aside the weapon. "If vou are a gentleman you will leave this room," she said firmly. "I don't know what you mean by this uawarrnntable instrusion." "A man came in here and I fol- lowed him." "Nonsense! Where is he?" It did sound a trifle fishy, I'll admit. There was no one in sight. even looked under the bed. "Now go," she ordered as if she were addressing an Infant who had to he dealt wity firmly. "I don't know what is the matter with you switch, I window?" "You mignt break you neta. - "Tt wouldn't matter," I said bit- terly, She disregarded my martyr-like speech, 'Suppose you were to hide," she suggestd. "I'll say you jumped out of the window and then when they got out there after you, you coulg escape." "Clever plan," I congratulated ad miringly. {Where shall I hide?" | "Under the bed," she suggested practically. | I glanced doubtfully at the white, enameled iron bed which was bolt-| ed to the floor, It looked to me as it it were underslung. ) However, I'm the most obliging man you ever met so I got down on the floor and started to crawl und- er. Unfortunately I stuck half-way. I could almost make it and I struggled hard to condense that re- holding me back. It was no use. Then I tried to back out. To my dismay I found I could not move the other way either. "Throw up your hands," said the sheriff outside. "I'm coming In, and if you move I'll shoot!" How the deuce could I throw up my hands? I might have thrown up my feet, but I doubt if I was cap- able a motion of any sort. As Yoo key clicked in the lock T heard la scurrying of bare feet. Maryella was retreating. The door opened. A bush surprise followed. "Come out," ordered the sheriff, "I see you, you durned ostrich." I renewed my struggles to extri- cate myself. It was useless. I had used too much zeal in my effort to get under. "If you don't come out in ten seconds I'll shoot. The sheriff de- livered this ultimatum and began counting, -"'One,~--~two,--three"" The thought of tha target that 1 offered for even very poor marks- man drove me nearly frantic. I made a superhuman effort. The bed rose from the floor and fell apart. I backed away from the de- bris. of (Continued Tomorrow) Sitting bolt upright in bed.

There was something in the alr, All at once the moon came out, | and as it did the building toward which I wag heading loomed large against the sky. I knew at once why the neigh- borhood haq seemetl familiar. The building was the Old Soldiers' Home, and I had walked all day to return at night to the very spot from which I had started! I had no very cheerful vision of a warm welcome upon my return to th Home, but it. was a case of any Y \in a storm, so I continued on lay. The Home was still half a distant when the light went lately, Tom Bilbeek. You used to be a fairly sensible, dependable man; but now you act like a lunatic two-thirds of the time." "I'll go," I said mournfully; "but some day you'll realize how unjustly you have treated me." I went to the door and turned the knob. It would not open, "What's the matter?" Maryella asked.when I delayed. "I can't get out. This locked on the outside." "Apsurd!" 'Maryella got out of bed and slipped on her fur coat. "How could it be locked?" She came over to the door. As she stood beside me I had a poignant spasm of heartache at the dainty door is' t ut I plugged on. I felt pretty log hat I could get. in without #9 any one up, which I decid- 9 ld be much the better way { \ {I could avoid explanations. t {ods fdrew nearer in the shadow oll! yoods that bordered the \w a figure dart suddenly ir protecting shade across tuyl h of intervening moon- light to the Old Soldiers' Home. That struck me as rather curious. Why should any one be In such a hurry .and why so furtive? I thought it over quite a while as iT stood there waiting for something 'else to occur. | Then a solution occurred to me. It was doubtless the other escaped jprisoner, the one who had held us up in the road when we had start- ed for home the first time! | "The chances were that he want- ed to get back into the sanitarium and release his partner. | As soon as I arrived at that de- duction I too, hastened in the same direction that he had gone. By the time I got to the front of the build- ing he had disappeared. An open window, however, indicated very 'plainly where he had gone, and re- imoving my skis I had no hesitation iin following him. It was hard work {for me to climb through, but T man- ageq it. There was enough moonlight coming into the living-room where |T found my self for me to see that there was no.one there. I hardly ex- {pected that he would linger long. |He was doubtless searching for the lroom in which Bill, his partner was lconfined. | There was nothing: on the main _ifloor except the living room and the service quarters. I glanced hastily in each room below and then went upstairs which was a more likely hunting ground.'T paused at the head of the stairs scarce breathing, He was not there. « While I waited. senseg alert and nerves taut, a figure glided out challenge any and not be conscious desirability of her.

She tried the door. "Tt is locked," she admitted with incredulous eyes that sought mine questioningly. "What does ft mean?" 1 shook my head. "I don't know." Just to be doing something, I rattled the knob. "Be quiet in there, consarn you," said a voice outside. "You're arrest- ed in the name of the law, and any- thing you say will be used agin you!" It was the sheriff. How had he become involved in the midnight parade? What explanation could there be of an officer of the law be- ing on the scene of a crime? It was contrary to precedent. I even told him so through the lockeq door. "Don't argue with him," pleaded Maryella in a whisper. A new look of concern had come into her eyes. "What is it? What are you afraid of?" I asked. "Think how this is going to look when they find you and me here! Oh, Tom, how could you compro- mise me $0?" "I didn't intend to. I wasn't even thinking of you." i "Oh," she murmured as if hurt. "Mrs. Hemmingway occupies all your thoughts, I suppose." My heart leaped joyfully. Even in a moment of stress she had time to be jealous. Maybe it was all for the best. "I'm sorry," 1 said penitently. "That won't do any good. We ought to be able to do something definfte to make -this look all right." "I'll-do anything you say," | of- ered.

Smith pre- sident of the National Council of American Shipbuilders, came out strongly in favor of standardized construction of ships as a means to lower the cost of ships in Am- erican yards, He declared that the shipbuilders were willing to co- operate with ship owners in such a policy and predicted that a long step forward in the solution of the American merchant marine pro- blem would be taken if the groups could be brought into accord. At the last session of Congress i an appropriation of $500,000 was made to finance experiments look- ing to the lowering of the higher cost of building ships in American vards. Many plans have been sug- gested since the fund was created and placed at the disposal of Com- missioner H. 1. Cone of the Ship- ping Board. /The cost of building a ship now in an American yard is 59 per cent. of the average compe- titor nation. Mr. Smith said that experts should agree first on the best mo- dels for ships of definite tonnage and that standard plans should be drawn for such ships, based on standard length and shaps-'of its .component parts. He admitted that the demand for individnality of passenger ships tv steamship companies would practi- cally eliminate passenger ships from the plan. Cargo shps, however are suited to thig treatment he said, and can be built much more cheaply than at present if single sets of plans can be used for several ships and their builders can buy the steel in bulk for several ships he said. The cost of the steel to its mak- ers would be lowered and thc lower cost passed on to the ship- owners if it were produced in large quantities for several shijs. The problem of propulsion would not enter, Mr. Smith said, as hulls could be produced in quantities and equipment for -Diesel or steam | or any when the owners made their selection. Mr. Smith admitted that some fractory half inch of girth that was | ADAS NEWEST FLEET ANADIAN Pacrric's four new Duchesses--of Bedford, Atholl, Richmond and York --have set new cabin-ship stan- ds in size...speed.. .design. 20,000 gross tonseach. . . the hig- gest ships out of Montreal... yet sharing with the ever-popular **Mont" and "M" cabin ships the intimate, Canadian atmos pherewhichrecommendsthistype of travel to many of the Domin- ion's veteran travellers.

Canadian Pacific Steamships , "Carry Canadian Pacific Express Travellers Cheques « o o Good the World Over exceptions existed, such as ships in travel lanes in the West Indies where the water is very shallow. The exceptions are few, he added. Mr. Smith cited in support of his plan the sale of ships of the Gov- ernment's laid-up lieet, which was built in war time to private opera- tors. Many of the hulls were alike in every detail, he said, but they were bought by shipping interests, which instalidl propulsion plants of various types, without altera- tion to the hulis. To strengthen his argument, Mr, Smith cited the average cargy Vvs- sel of 10,000 gross tons, capable of making betwen eleven and four- teen knots. Time and again ship- ping men want ships of that type, but they vary some tons and ea h ship become a s2 arate problem. "Very seldom can the ship of 9,- 500 or 10,500 tons," he said, "have any feature that demands that its tonnage stay at the figure which is set for it. In most cases the ship could be increasd or decreased h00 tons without losing its value. 1f the standard for the group were 10,000 there would be no need of separate blueprints and specidlly modeled steel parts. "The ship would be built better in view of the experience that would come with volume nroduc- tion and the cost would be held way down." Mr. Simth also said that ha con- sidered the welded ship a potential factor of great importance in the American merchant marine. Ha said he thought the huilding of such a ship by an American would bring a bright day to the nation's TWENTY-TWORANDS IN COMPETITION YAR Musical Progremme Will Again Demonstrate Wide- spread Appeal Toronto, Aug. 26.-- Tha. yearly contribution of the exhibition to the musical culture of the domin- fon is at once one of incalculable gains which the fair confers and one of the outstanding attractions to thousands of its patrons.

SENATOR JOHN REID DIES AFTER BRIEF ILLNESS AT HONE Former Cabinet Minister Un- der Borden and Meighen Passes in 70th Year Prescott, Aug. 27.--Senator John Dowsley Reid died at his home here yesterday following a brief illness. He was in his 70th year and suffered 'a stroke last Thursday. The veteran politician steadily failed following his seiz- ure. He died soon afy2r noon. The death of Senator Reid has removed another cld face from Canadian politics, a man who served the Conservative party from 1891 until 1921 when he retired from the cabinet and was sum- moned to the senate. Funeral service will take place at the family residence in Prescott at 3.30 p.m. E.S.T. Wednesday, August 28. Ottawa, Aug. 27.--Hon. J. D. Reid's death today was unexpected by his Ottawa friends, as he ap- peared in good health in his last appearance here, and no word had been received of any change. He was one of the few remaining men in public life who was a member of the house of commons with tne great Conservative chieftain, Sir John A, Macdonald, having been elected first in Sir John's last campaign in 1891 and was in par- liament at the time the founder of the Conservative party passed away. It was in 1891 that Sir John ask- ed the late Dr. Reid, then a com- paratively young man to contest Grenville South, which afterward became part of Grenville county constituency. He was successful in his first essay into political life, and during his long political career never suffered defeat. Be- fore the 1921 election, Dr. Reid retired from the Meighen govern- ment, and was appointed to the senate, _ It will be rather as an admin- istrator than as a statesman that history will recognize the late Dr. Reid's services to Canada. He was an indefatigable worker, and while in the government from 1911 to 1921 was recognized as being "always on the job," and if a colleague was ill or absent his department was invariably placed in control of Dr. Reid. Except as minister of justice, as he was not a lawyer, he probably at one time or another administered every de- partment in the government, He gave of his utmost and in so doing wrecked his great constitu- tion. The late Dr. Reid had an al- most uncanny prescience in judg- ing Ontario sentiment, When the late Hon, W. S. Fielding announced the reciprocity pact in 19i1, Dr. Reid that night exclaimed to his colleagues, "that is the finish of Laurier." He overlooked not the slightest detail in the Ontario Con- srvative organization, nor anything that might sway the Ontario people. In politics his field was Ontario, 'and the Conservative success in that province is in a considerable measure due to his work and judgment. : in Regiment Royale, ore Flute lute band: Flute SELF-DEFENCE Chicago schools may not open next fall for lack of funds.

In an interview on board the White star Liner Calgaric prior to hig departure for Europe S. E. Per- cival Assistant to the Agent-Gen- eral for Ontario, London England stated that he had been commis- sioned by the parents of Francis Newbold to inform him of his in- heritance and request his return to England. But the boy likes Canada so well that he refuses to return. The only assistance that he will accept from his inheritance is the paying of his fees for a course at the Ontario Agriculture College at (Guelph. Newbold is one of 400 English public school boys brought to On- tario during the past year by the Ontario Government. The majority of these boys are sons of retired army and navy officrs and one of them is the nephew of Sir Allan Cobham, the airman, During his visit to Ontario, Mr. Percival visited the majority of the boys and they are all well and happy in Canada as opposed to the "dole'" class of immigrant, Mr. Percival pointed out that these boys receive little or no assisitance to come to Canada but have to come out on their own account and yet are a class of hoys who are doing well. Mr. Percival returns to London extremely gratified with the re- sult of his visit and determined to enlist the assistance of his of- fice in London to secure these Eng- lish public school boys for Ontario farms. He states that his visit to Canada has convinced him that these boys will eventually make good farmers and are of the em- ployer and not tha employe type.

Mr Blake became 'interested in the subject twenty-five years ago while studying pantomine, he said, and since then has been contin- uously observing people to verify his findings.

"When a person stands well back on his heels, feet and elbews out. shoulders up and stomach and chest inflated' said Mr. Blake his posture indicates .self-satisfac- tion and complacency "The inward tendency of legs and elbows nearly always expresses weakness and uncertainty; the out- ward tendency, self-confidence. Look at that messenger boy go- ing down the street. His elbows ar in, his feet.tend to turn in, his chest falt, his eyes wandering. Put him in front of an audience and he wouldn't be able to speek three words without dying of fright, The narrow base, that is of the feet nearly always indicates that the subjcet is scared half to death." Most persons realize that if they are no careful they will reveal their dominant characteristics and their motions through their facial expressions, and therefore they consciously mask their feelings. Mr. Blake believes. But what they do not realize, he said, is that their eves often give them away, They may set too intently or roam about with a forced aimlessness, and thug reveal their self-consciousness. ~ --- OPPOSITE PENNA.
