Hope, Correspondent) CUGOG, Aug, 15.--The hail- storm went much further than first reported right from the Cen- tre North to the lake, a distance of about five miles. Quite a num- ber were a total loss; others will reap the straw for feed but the grain is threshed out on the ground. This ig the first time a bad hail-storm ever visited our is- land. except one about eighteen years ago, which broke a great number of window-panes and stripped a few fields of corn. The damaged crops are being viewed by a great mumber of visitors, But some of the gardens and roots are looking a littlad better. Mrs. Holman and family, of To- ronto, visited Mr. and Mrs, C.

At bit of the sea's bottom pushed up by the restless waves working in the sand and by the winds playing across the Atlantic, Sable Island was never the world's garden and home suburb. Except for fishing there was always unemployment there even in boom days, and many years ago the inhabitants used to till in their spare time putting false lights about to lure the lost mariner to his doom. Sable Ie- land was then a fine place for treachérous seas, fogs, wrecks, destruction, death, robbery and other trouble; in short, it was an extremely tough spot. It was the sort of place that one might expect ¢o encounter Davey Jones, the Ancient Mar- iner with his albatross slung about his neck, Captains Kidd and Teach, The Lorelei, Sinbad the Sailor, and lots of other poor souls for whom the sea and man has been too much. Commander Frank Worsley, writing in an English publica- tion, recalls one case in par- ticular of the passengers and crew of the Princess Amelia, lost to a man in one of Sable's nicest storms. There was some question whether all had been drowned and inasmuch as there were of- ficers of the British Army and their wives aboard the authori- ties were urged to discover if it were possible any had reached shore alive and afterwards been done away with by the hospitable people of the island. x To this end Captain Torrens of the 29th Regiment was sent from Halifax to play detective. His adventures began {immedi- ately with 'his own ship being wrecked. How so like all good detectives, the Captain swam ANOTHER UHUCKY GETS LESSO) Not until you try can you Know quite all that you can do. --01ld Mother Nature. Peering out from the edge of Farmer Brown's garden Young Chucky saw Flip the Terrier barking from a safe distance at Jimmy Skunk amd Bowler the Hound looking in, also from a safe distance, As for Jimmy Skunk, he seemed to be quite un- concerned, It was hard to belleve that Jimmy could be umafraid, vet there wag the evdence before his eyes. He had to beleve, Right thn and there a deep respect for Jimmy Skunk was born and Chucky resolved that never would he be otherwise than polite to Jimmy or any of his family, a wise decision that was bound to save him a lot of trouble. But Chucky was not to have {ime to think the matter over for long then. Flip soon tired of barking at Jimmy and with Bow- ser the Hound started on and they headed straight for that garden. Chucky turned and looked at his father, Johnny Chuck. He had «een Johnny face Flip before, and Flip had been quite satisfied to do nothing but bark. But now there were two dogs and Bowser was very much bigger than Flip. What would Johnny do now? He didn't have to wait to fird out, "Come on!' said Johnny sharp- | ly. "If those dogs come up here trou- ran and find us we are in for ble." Johnny turned and back into the garden. Chucky followed at his heels. "Wh-wh-where are we going?" he panted. "To hide if we can," replied Johnny, keeping right on sur- prisingly fast for one so fat and with such short legs. "Can't we go back to the old stonewall?" asked Chucky. "How can we get there?" de- manded Johnny. "Those dogs are between it and us." This was true, so Chucky said nothing. In fact he felt a little foolish for having suggested it. Between the rows of vegetables they ran until they were at the far side of the garden, There in the middle of a bed of beets Johnny stopped. By flattening themselves on the ground they would be quite hidden by the leaves of the beets. But Johnny didn't flatten himself, He sat up 80 as to watch, Just beyond the edge of the garden were two or three trees, They were young trees and so not very big, but big enough for anyone up in one to be safe from anyome on the ground . who couldn't climb. Chucky didn't even notice them until Johnny called his attention to them, "Do vou see those trees?' ask- ed Johnny . "Yes," replied Chucky. "Well, if those dogs find us here we'll have to climb one of them," replied Johnny. "But I can't climb," wailed Chucky, "I've never climbed a tree in my life." "If he must, any one can do things he thinks he can't," re- torted Johnny, "and If those pes- ky dogs come over here you may have to climb." '"T hope they won't come," whimpered Chucky. "So do I," replied Johnny. "But if they do you won't have a chance in the world unless you climb one of those trees. There they are mow just coming into the garden. Squat down under those leaves and stay down until I tell you to run, Then follow me amd ashore and having number of his set out on an solus, Preparing to spend the night in a lonely hut, Torrens was astonished to receive a visitor in the person of a lady, pale as a lily, dripping wet and having the ring finger of her left hand missing. She held it up for him to see and presented such a sad countenance the gallant Captain was moved to compassion. When he turned for his medicine kit the lady slipped away through the door, She ran so fast he could not catch her and when she reached the cold dark waves, in she plunged. Torrens went in after her hut to no avail, The next night the lady called upon him again and this time looking earnestly upon her he recognized her face as that of Mrs. Copeland, wife of Doctor Copeland, of the 7th Regiment. Torrens, instinctively seized of the situation put it to the ghost, for he now was convinced that such his visitor was, that he should procure the ring cut from her hand by the ghoulish wreck- er and return it to her family. Upon this the lady smiled a wan, wan smile, howed and rose mak- ing signs to him not to follow, The Captain was one of these gentlemen who upon making suggestions to a lady never said die, He went to Labrador and struck up acquaintance with the family of a 'known wrecker. By a ruse in conversation he discov- ered a fine ring had been sold in Halifax, returned there, iden- tified the ring through friends, bought it and sent it to the Cope- lands in England. He took no action against the wrecker since he could not prove any crime against him and he did not feel it was the ghostly lady's desire to have revenge. rescued a fellow shipmates exploration trip when you get to those trees climb one of them, And don't waste any time in doing it." Johnny sat very straight and still, "Are they coming?" asked Chucky in a frightened tone after waiting a few minutes. "I don't know yet," replied Johnny, They are nosing about over there but they don't know vet that we are over here. They ---here they come! Follow me now and climb!" Johmny led in a rush for the trees. Flip began to bark excited- ly and Chucky had a glimpse of him coming at full speed. Then a tree was right in front of him and two seconds alter he was up in it with Flip vainly jumping up against it and barking as if he would bark his head off, How he had got there Chucky really didn't know, but there he was and in the next tree was Johnny Chuck. Onge more Chucky had learned something, something {important ---he could climb, (Copyright, 1932, by T. W, Burgess) The next story: "Safe but Un- comfortable." EIGHT TEETH Were Found Imbedded in Keel of Digby Vessel Digby, N.S.--There were teeth in the keel. If you wamt to go afishing around Digby Gut you should have a staunch boat, otherwise a shark may bite a plece out of it with consequences too horrible to con- template, On Digby beach is now drawn up a boat with eight ghark's teeth in the keel,--count them---eight. Two fishermen were Only saved from being bitten in two by the fact that their boat was of a suf- cient thickness to tear the teeth from the shark's Jaw and send him away discomfited, prodded by boathooks and walloped by oars, minus his molars, The oldest inhabitant recalls a case 45 years ago when two In- dians in a canoe waged battle with a shark and came off with the loss of one life, Louis Pictou wag the Indian who successfully swam ashore after he had let the shark have both barrels of a shot- gun. His companion' exhausted by the struggle, could not reach the beach, In this epic the shark attacked without warning and bit a plece about two feet in diameter from the hull, Pictou, standing in the low took careful aim and let him have it, The shark, discouraged went away. Thousands of people came to Dighy to see the canoe with the hole in the bottom. They are all dead mow but hundreds of their descendants have come to see the eight shark's teeth, CRACK MARKSMEN AT D.RA. MEET Aces of the Range Gather Again at "Canada's Bisley" Connaught Ranges, Ottawa.--The finest ranges in Canada--if not in the. world--are busy again, Over the flats of South March, the whip- like crack of 600 rifles floats back, The Dominion Rifle Association is meeting, It is a big meet, this gathering of the rifle clan from all parts of Can- ada, And it is a big range which annually awaits them all. Some claim it is a better range than England's famous Bisley, and the claimants are men who have fired at Bisley. Situated 14 miles from Ottawa, the range is in an enviable location, Far behind the targets, across Lake Deschenes, lie the rolling blue hills which are the "Gatineau", Parallel to the lake lie the waiting targets, more than 100 of them in an un- broken string. Behind the butts are tents, row on row of them. There is a self-contained little city, A movie, show Restaurants, Marquees for teams, Adimnistration buildings, Ammunition dumps. For more than 1,000,000 rounds of high- powered ammunition whistle sibil- antly across the ranges in the five days of the "D.R.A." Each year, $50,000 iy, prize money is awarded. That is a conservative estimate, ach year too, cups and trophies valued at many times that amount changes hands. And on the trophy table in the administration building again rests the Kolapore cup, famous empire trophy which the Canadian Bisley team won this year. Marksmen who look at the Kolapore trophy meditate, "The re- alize the years of practice required of every member of Canada's team. Is it worthwhile?

Kertson gave her the option of paying $50 damages to Arsean- eau but she chose imprisonment and has started the term, The story goes back to last winter, whén Arsencau and Mrs. Geneau's husband cut a lot of wood together at B.uebell, about 15 miles from Grand Falls, Each man was to take half the wood.

H, Chase of the Annapolis Valley returning from a trip to England and the continent said: "Everywhere there seemed to be a feeling this province had made a tremendous step-up in quality production." Grower and shippers in this province have well learned that quality, good grading and good packing are worth while, he said. Chase favored a moderate tar- iff on apples which he said would be acceptable to the British dealer and consumer, His conver- sation with the. trade had dis- covered a dividend opinion on the subject, The majority seemed to feel that too high a British pref- erence would in the final con- clusion react unfavorably.

PEGGY'S COVE IN NEWS AGAIN Prolific Daughter of Wild Duck Vies With Two Young Ladies From Illinois Peggy's Cove, N.S.--The silly season having set {in England, Australia, Michigan and Peggy's Cove the following authentic oc- currences are nolsed abroad and bruited about: : Primo--The daughter of a wild dusk, second generation (and this goes to show what these second generation Cana- dians can do) decided to lay some eggs. For 45 days she laid eggs, one day laying three. At the end of her laying she had 44 eggs and "laid off" laying and started setting on the eight which her owner left in the nest. Secundo--Two young women from Illinois are satisfied as to the saltness of the sea and have returned to Chicago's Gitche- Gummee and shining big-sea water, "All that water salt?" It seem- ed unbelievable "that "the vast tumultuous wetness rolling and rolling in to smash In a terrific and jolly way on the horrid cliffs and the smooth roundness of the Peggy's glacier-scraped physiog- nomy could be seasoned with the shaker of the gods. The native assured was, "All the fish in there salt?" That seemed unbelievable also. Native politeness assured them the fish were fresh but after being snaked from their element many of them were salted. It seemed unbelievable. In this case tasting is bhelievs ing and both the ladies from Il- linois swam or bathed in the cove, tasted the salt water and afterwards tasted the fresh and salt fish and set off in their car back to where the tall corn grows, zoom-bump. Note to students of nnmes: Peggy's so called on account of a woman called Pegzy. Perhaps an endearing diminutive of St. Margaret's Bay adjoining.

Smith that he pleaded guilty of stealing $5 by passing a worthless cheque and asked to be sentenced to serve from three to five years, In his written story he said that he was from Indiana and was an automobile painter, He had despaired of finding em« ployment and wanted to go to jail or find some other institu tion where he could work for his keep until the depression was over. Judge Smith replied that three to five years seemed a rather long sentence for his offence, and on recommendation of the police gave him 30 days in the Billerica Houne of Correction, ' I.
