When my mother was quite a girl, she lived in Paris and went out sewing oy the day to a family where she met a man who win her love and deceived her. He made her very unhappy, and left her a few months before I was born. After Clara obeyed, speaking very low, and pausing to wipe away the tears that would continue to fall. . "Very well, Raoul, I will tell you everything. I won‘t lie. I won‘t try to make anything out other than it was. I was a very unhappy child. My mothâ€" er, whos>e name was Armande Morin, was very fond of me . . . but she had a difficult life,. I suppose one would call her an adventuress. At first, we had a grand flat and plenty to eat and drink, and servants. Some of mother‘s friends were kind to me and gave me presents. Some I hated. Then, we kept moving from flat to flat, each smaller and less luxurious than the last, until finally we were living in a single rcoom."

I saw Valthex come out of the marquis‘ and go away, and as I approached the house I saw a taxi drive up and stop. A girl carrying a suitcase got down; she had fair hair like mine, and seemed rather like me; her face was the same shape and her expression was similar. It was a sort "It was half past four.

"If I had known for certain that he was my father, I should certainly have gone to him for help. But to be certain of that, it was necessary for me to get into his flat and lock in the secret drawer Of his desk. I used to wander on the Quai Voltaire and watch the marquis come out of the house without daring to speak to him. I knew his habits, just as I knew you and Courville by sight, and all the servants . . . and the marquis‘ key was always in my pocket. But I couldn‘t make up my mind to use it. The whole idea was foreign to my nature. And then, one afternoon, comâ€" pelled by circumstancesâ€"the same cirâ€" cumstances that caused us to meet on the following night . . ." She paused for the last time. Her story was nearing its climax, the mysâ€" terious core of the enigma. She half whispered : key. A month later, Valthex was being shadowed by the police: I broke away from him and hid in Paris." "But I had no definite plan in mind at that time, and acted more out of mere curiosity than anything else, That was why, when Valthex once showed me a key, and said with a strange smile: "That is the key of the marquis‘ flat, he left it in the dgor and I must return it to him, I almost without knowing why, got hold of the Clara paused, looking all in. but made an effort to go on. "Valthex was not communicative, and seldom referred to his own concerns. One day he told me about the Marquis d‘Erlemont with whom he was intiâ€" mate. He had just left him, and was fuil of admiration for a very fine Louis XVI desk belonging to the marquis. I presesq him for details, and soon I felt sure that it was the same desk whose photograph 1 had found among mother‘s papers. I also felt that the marquis might be the man who had woced my mother, and all that I manâ€" aged to learn about him and his past life only confinmed me in my intuiâ€" tion. myself. She died without revealing my father‘s name. I was 17 at the time of her death. Among her papers the only clue that I found was the photograph of a Louis XVI desk, with the posiâ€" tion of a secret drawer and the way to open it marked in her handwriting. At the time, I paid no attention to it. As T1 told you, Raoul, I had to work for my living. So I went in for dancing . _. .

In doing this the Hon. Mr. Duranleau endeavers to leave the impression that this should satisfy the radio owners of Northern Ontario. As a matter of fact, it does nothing of the kind.

This, we gather from the remarks of the Hon. Alfred Duranleau, Minister of Marine, who, as spokesman for the government, reâ€" piled to the energetic demand of Mr. JOs. Bradette, in the Federal Houes last week, for better radio service in the North. With political shortsightedness thka [Minister bf Marine stated the government, through its radio commisâ€" sion, had decided t> allow the owners Of the Kirkland Lake radio station the privileges of increasing their staâ€" tion from 100 to 1000 watts.

The metal iickel plays a very important part in the present process. In hydrogenating oils, a very hard fat can be produced. This, mixed with pure vegetable oil, is sold as "comâ€" pound" shortening. Other shortenings are made wholly of hydrogenated oils, and these comâ€" mand a higher price. Little differences like these should be of great imporâ€" as any hcusewife knows, to prevent cereal products such as cake, biscuits, breaq or pastry from becoming tough and untasty. An unshortened product will also lose its freshness or moisture content much more quickly. Shortenâ€" ing, ‘being a form of fat, forms a coatâ€" ing of grease Oover each individual parâ€" ticle of starch from which the cereals are composed. It is easily seen how this physical action changes the conâ€" sistency of a product, for each parâ€" ticle is lubricated so that it does nzt cling to another so closely. People in the olden times did not realize how shortening worked. All they cared to know was what it did. Toâ€"day, since the of shortening is better unâ€" derstood, new products, partially synâ€" thetic, have been developed that will do an even better job than the old ones. There is, for instance, the question of what "shortening" is and of how it can ‘be improved.

Canada has for some years led the centinent in laying down food stanâ€" wards. ‘"Standard" and "choice" quality canned goods must live up to government regulation, The housewife has a fair idea of what she buys in that line. Eggs offer another product in which scientific grading has done much to eliminate sharp practice or unwitting fraud on the part of wholeâ€" saler or retailer. Theére still remain many agriculturâ€" al and food products that require legisâ€" lation and that will have it soon. Poâ€" tatoes are now preperly gradeq and there is every reason to believe that one by one, the common foods cof groâ€" | cery store shelves will have to reach a specified standard before they can qualify for sale as first class. Since foosds are chemicals of one kind or another, usually very complex, angqg the preparation and cooking of Foods emibodies many Jphemical and physical changes, it follows directly that to know just what foods are, a rather intensive scientific training is necessary. But a general sort of food oducation, such as is now given in some of the educational courses in Ontario, will be a greater necessity than ever in the future. ! l are 1 mind to receive such programm time â€" Northern Quebec a Ontario demanded its righ the Radio Commission and Many Kinds of Oils Make Shortening wnAn.
