Prospects For Canada's Olympic Lean in 1932 Alex. Wilson and Brant Little Given Better Than Even Chance to Pull Out Victories -- Shaver of Hamilton Expected to Do Well (By Elmer Dulmage, Canadian Press Sports Writer) Winnipeg, Man. Sept. 19 -- Fur the second time Canada will send a team of half milers and milers to the Olympic Games uext year with the expectation that at least one of the band will do some point-winning. And it is not so futile a hope as it was back in 1928 because there are at least four young men in the Dominion who might do almost anything at the right moment., whereas at Amsterdam only one was conceded a chance. Canada sent two youths to Amsterdam for one purpose only ~--experience. Alex Wilson and Brant Little were not expected to beat runners from countries that specialize in producing 800.metre men, They went along as Uiym- pic contenders of the future. On- ly Phil Edwards, the long-limbed British Guianan, was announced as ready to match speed with the famous European aces, and Ed- wards finished fourth in the 800- metre final, won by Douglas Lowe, of England. Today Alex Wilson ranks with the best in North America, cer- teinly the leading half-miler In Cznada. The fair-haired Mon- trealer won the British Empire title at 440 yards a year ago and finished second in the half. Since that meet he has concentrated at the longer distances, running for Notre Dame University, Brant Little, of Winnipeg, also groomed at Notre Dame, hasn't advanced as rapidly as Wilson because of injuries and illness, but the frail- appearing star is expected to be in prime shape for next spring's trials. A schoolboy and a veteran, Ed- wards fills out the quartette who, thir fall, loom as outstanding con- tenders for Olympic berths in 19- 32. Not as great as he was a | few years back, Edwards can still held his own and 17-year old Fred Shaver, who milks his fa- tuer's 14 cows each morning be- fc1e going to school gt Hamilton Central Collegiate is practically certain to ease ahead of the color. ed campaigner in another season. Slaver, in the absence of Wilson, little and afterwards won the Canadian 800-yard championship at Winnipeg this month. Running on a soft dirt track at tle Dominion meet, Shaver was clocked in two minutes flat. He came from behind to win with a diiving finish and observers were unanimous in the opinion that the sturdy youngster would have run the half in at least 1:56 on a last 'track, Earlier in the sea- son he ran Edwards almost into a state of collapse on an eastern track, losing by a yard to the ducky flash whose early lead alone gave him a victory. The Ancaster farm lad, in the opinion of his coach, Capt, J. R. Ccrnelius, will take 'somo beat- ing" next season. Cornelius opines that the fading Edwards won't accomplish it again, doubts whether Brant Little could trim his protege and grants Alex Wil- son alone, an edge over the school boy who seems destined to have a chance in the Los Angeles games. Another young fellow is ¢om- ing along in Montreal who may be ready to climb Into the charm- ed cirele in another season. He is. Leslie Wade, long-limbed and stout-hearted, who finished sec- ond to Shaver at Winnipeg-- just two yards back, On a better track Wade also would have sheared seconds from the two- minute flat time of that half- mile and Wally Bain, Port Ar- thur, Ont., youngster who came in third was not so far back. LCoth Wade and Bain rate as better than average prospects. The Port Arthur youth won the Ontario schoolboy 880.yard title just a few days before he ran in the Winnipeg event. Whatever group of milers Can- aas sends to the Olympics, and £ddie King, the lean Hamilton gilloper, is pretty sure to nead it, other countries have little to fear from the Dominion. Just low much below championship par are Canadian mile men was shown at the British Empire games when England's sturdy set ran away from them with ease. King, two-time champion of Canada, has never beaten four minutes and 20 seconds. England has two men who consistently beat that time and ome, R, H. Thomas, who consistently nears the world's mark. Germany, France, Finland and' United Sta- ter all will send men to Los An- geles who will beat Canada's hast with ease. Earl Moore, Hamilton Ligh sghool lad, is a prospect, For Nourishment You can't beat the quality of ingredients so carefully mixed into each loaf of anada Bread aud Earl McMahon, of Saskatoon, Sask., the western intercollegiate champion, proved himself a cap-, able performer when he beat out Moore for second place at the Do- mnion title meet. The futures, as far as Olympic games are concerned, of the Wal- ters brothers, of Listowel, Ont. ale in doubt. Members of the Canadian team at Amsterdam. Jagk and Pete made a holiday of the trip overseas, trained little ubd earned Canada no points, It is a question if their brilliant running for Marquette Univer- sity during the last two years will earn them more than a passing glance by the selection commit- tee. Their standing is not high. PLOWING MATCHES START THIS MONTH Many in October, Including Great "International" Near Peterboro' This is the season ¢f plowirg matches and more plowiig natches.

The average lactation period comple- ted was 322 days; the average m!lk yield 10,202.5; the butter- fat average 5.73; the butter-fat average for the year was b¥4.6 pounds; and the total average value of the product $257.91 per head, The total average cost of feed per head, including meal, en silage, roots, hay and pasturage, was $124.52, or $1,22 per 100 rounds of milk produced, The Summerland Station is building up a herd of Jerseys which are showing up exceptionally well in R.O.P. for cattle. SOME HEN ARITHMETIC Take 84 pounds of grain plus 1 hen and you have 12 dozen eggs. With grain selling at 13 cents per pound .and eggs selling 30 cents per dozen this means a val- ue of $3.60 for the grain, or a profit of $3.22 over the cost of tLe feed, or selling grain at a price of $4.28 per cwt. Here are some more facts: The hen which lays 25 eggs means a loss of 6! cents over the cost of feud Tor ene year: the hen which lays 00 eggs means a loss of 1 cent; the hen which lays 100 eggs means a profit of $1.25; the hen which lays 150 eggs means a profit cf $2.49; while the hen which lays 200 eggs brings a profit of 33.74.

"That was my tip." "But I didn't tell you you could have it," said the irate diner, The waiter smiled 'blandly. "0, that's all right," he replied, "I'm forgetful myself somietimes"' SEVENTH INSTALLMENT WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE Glles Chittenham swears to avenge the death of his young half-brother, Rodney, driven to suicide by the notorious Julie Farrow who had spurned his love. He will make Julie low him, then throw her aside as she threw Rodney. He meets her in Switzerland, goes with her to the hotel on the St. Bernard Pass, and suceeds in winning her love. To his amazement, he discovers that he has fallen overwhelmingly in love with her himself! And he is married, to an American girl with whom he has nothing in common. Then he discovers that this girl is not, the same Julie Farrow who ruined Rodney, but her cousin of the same name. She scorns him when he confesses his love and his inability to mar- ry her. They meet later in Lon- don, where she is going the pace that kills. Another man, Law- rence Schofield, wants to marry her, in spite of her wild life. Through his friend Lombard, Giles Chittenham meets the "other Julie," the notorious woman who had ruined Rodney's life. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY .She sat beside him, and her voice and her laugh, and her little tricks of manner sometimes made it seem impossible that she was not the same woman who had come so hap- pily to his arms in the cold, bleak room of the little hotel high up in the mountains. 8he told Giles frankly that she had been a little nervous of meeting him. "I thought perhaps the family hatred had extended itself to you," she said bitterly. "Life is very un- kind to some of us, Mr. Chittenham. [ am glad you do not hate me as badly as I had expected you would." Chittenham hesitated. "When I was on the (ar side of the world my hatred for you was a very real and vital thing," he said gravely. "I used to hope for an op- portunity to, well--" He shrugged his shoulders and smiled. " 'Avenge' is such a melodramatic word, isn't i?" "There is no other word that gives quite the same explanation," she answered, "Don't you still hope {or nw?" "No. "What made you change?" Giles looked away from her down the crowded little restaurant, and in an aching imagination he saw again the bare, ugly room of the mountain hotel, and heard the wind howling as it flung the soft snow against the windows. "Something happened--" he said. She did not answer at once, then she sald quietly: "Well, whatever it was, 1 am glad [ don't want to be hated any more. [ don't think any one--even your mother--could hate me any more if sne knew what I know." "What do you mean?" Julle lowered her voice. "If you would like to drive home with me afterwards I will tell you." "What is it you were going to tell me?" Giles asked after they got into her car. He felt an immense curios- ity in this woman, and also an inex. plicable pity for her, which somehow angered him, According to all accounts she was worthless and heartless, ana yet... once before he had blundered into tragedy through listening to and be- lieving the things other people sald. The car stopped. "We are just home, Julle sald. "Come in, and I will tell you." Julie threw herself down into a big chair with a half sigh. Giles said nothing. stood leaning against the mantel-shelf looking down at her, vaguely conscious of something tragic that seemed to have stolen into the room during the last few moments. Suddenly Julie raised her eyes. "I'm glad you don't ask thousands of questions," she said. "You're such a restful person, Mr. Chittenham. 1 can be quite sure that you won't say 'Oh, my God!' or anything like that when I tell you that I am going to die." "I don't Took like it, do I?" she queried whimsically. "But it's true all the same. It's quite signed and sealed, with no hope of a reprieve. I've been to every specialist in Lon- don who would take my money, and they all say the same thing. There could be an operation, but I won't have it. I hate the idea of the knife, especially as it can't be a cure--but only just a way of prolonging life for a little while. I don't think 1 want to prolong it either. It's not been such fun when one looks back." "What are you going to do then?" "I'm going abroad. Couldn't bear the idea of dying here in London, where so many people know me, so I'm going right away where I shan't know any one, and nobody will know me, What do you think of it, Mr. Chittenham?" "I think you're a very brave wom- an," Giles said, and suddenly he leaned down and took her hand. To his surprise the tears welled up into her eyes and splashed on to her frock. "That's foolish of me, isn't 1t?" she said. "And they're not because I'n frightened . . . these tears! It's Just because the way you took hold of my hand reminded me of some ong... as if of pain, "Some one I really loved. There was a man I'once really loved, Mr. Chittenham." "I am sure there was." ' "He died . . ' Julie sat very still for a moment, then she gently drew her hand away. "That finished me, 4 She drew a hard breath |! in the same way that something of the kind has finished the other Julie too. He died, and then it was as if I died too, all that was best of me at least, and all the hateful rotten part lived on; My cousin Julie is like that now! It must be In the family. Perhaps you don't know her well enough to see it or recog- nise it, but I do! I knew directly she came home from Switzerland + + » We've never been great friends --1 told you she didn't approve of me! But the day after she came home--about six weeks ago, I sup- pose it must be, or more--she came to see me, and she said: 'I want to ask your pardon for all the hard things I've said to you and thought broad-minded in these matters. You see, it takes all sorts to make & world." "It certainly does. Who else?" "A lot, of people you don't know--" She rang off and Giles turned a- way from the 'phone with a shrug of his shoulders. It was only when he was in his mother's house that he suddenly realised that in all proba- bility Sadie would be there also. For a moment she hesitated, a sud~ den chill feeling at his heart, then he philosophically pushed the thought aside and went on. She was almost the first person he saw when he entered Mrs, Ard- ron's crowded drawing-room. She was talking to a group of peo "Isn't it a scream?" Sadie demanded. "Fancy meeting you in yout own mother's house and she not knowing that she's entertaining a daughter-in-law unawares?" of you. You've been right, and I've been wrong all the time, It's no use trying to be gcod--its no use trying to lead a decent life. The only way is to get every ounce of pleasu:. possible, never mind at whose ex- pense. That's what I'm going to do in the future --that's what she said." "I said: 'You poor little fool!--- there's no man in all the world worth breaking your heart over'-- she wouldn't admit anything, of course, but I knew!--" Julie laugh- ed softly. "And now there is some- thing I want to ask you--something I want you to do for me. Will you be kind to Julie?--the other Julie? I'm so sorry for her. I know just what she's going through. I've been through it all myself, you see. And I think you could help her. Youre the sort of man who unaerstands. If you'll just be friends with her--" "I'l do anything I cen, but..." "She's got amongst a horrible set of people," Julie "Not really vicious people, but and worth- less! They make hcr drink too much, and swear--and sit up all night, and she's not t ~. sort! She won't be able to bt i. os well as I used to. I saw her the other night, She's got hold of a new friend--" "You mean-- Schofield. He's not a bad fellow--" "No. It's a girl--a common little American--"' "American?" "Yes--a girl named Sadie Barrow --why, do you know her?" for Giles had made a sudden convulsive move- ment. "No--yes . ..at least . . . no, 1 don't know her." Not know her! Sadie Barrow? His own wife, without acquainting him of the fact. Giles Chittenham felt cold with an- ger. How the devil must be laughing at this successful double-cross which had not only brought Sadie to Eng- land when he least wished to see her, but had thrown her across Julie's path. Confound all women! Chittenham thought, then he looked again at the one sitting crouching in the chair before him. He stooped impulsively towards her and took her hand. "I should like to be your friend, too, if I may. I should like to be able to help you." "Thank you, and, Giles--" "Yes. "I was never quite so wicked as people have made out. It was not my fault about--Rodney. I told him £0 many times it was useless--why, he was only a boy compared with me--a spoilt, weak boy." "I am afraid he was." "So don't think too badly of me." She drew her hand gently away. "And now--please go. I'm so tired." She did not look at him or rise from her chair, and Giles walked re- luctantly to the door, pausing when he reached it to lookback. It seem- ed horrible to leave her like that-- alone! Horrible to think that of all the friends and lovers she had known there was not one to stand by her now and hold her hand as she went through the dark valley lying before her. A day or two later he saw a small announcement in a newspaper to the effect that she had gone abroad, and would be absent for some time, and that no letters would be forwarded. mother rang up on the telephone to inform him that she was giving a party. "When?" he asked, ruthlessly cut- ting short her voluble explanations. "To-night. Twelve midnight, Giles. There'll be ham and eggs and hot coffee about four." "Good Lord!" "Don't talk like that. It will be such fun. Every one's coming!" "Who is 'every one'?" "Doris, of course--she's bringing a party. And Lawrence Schefield--" "What made you ask him?" "To please Miss Farrow, of course. They're always together! I really believe they will make a match of it. "I. thought you didn't like Miss Farrow?" 'don't! But I find that one must be Eo Sadie had come to London. ple which included Julie Farrow and several others whom Giles knew slightly, and it was Julie who first caught sight of him and waved an airy hand. Giles went straight across to her. He did not know in the least what sort of reception to expect from his wife, but after he had greeted Julle and the others whom he knew, it was she who said in her insistent way: "Present your friend." It was Julie who obeyed. "Mr. Chittenham. Miss Barrow--" "Pleased to meet you," Sadie said impudently, There was a twinkle in her eyes for which Giles could have shaken her. Schofield was with Julie, beaming happily upon every one. "We haven't met lately, Mr. Chit tenham," Julle was saying. "Where have you been hiding? So kind of your mother to ask me here to- night."
