But on her wedding day she boards a train for New York on which are riding Stewart Blackmire, theatrical producer; Doug, his secreâ€" tary, and Bill, a friend. Consuelo had danceg for them 10 days previously when their private car had been waitâ€" ing on a railroad siding in town. In New York series of publicity stunts prepares Conseulo for her debut in the Folliss. She Ras an altercation with Louise, star of the show and Stewart‘s friend. Doug takes Consuelo to a faâ€" shionable shop to outfit her in Ameriâ€" can clothes. The gypsy‘s first dance on a Broadway stage proves a tremendous hit. Stewart is amazed how beautiful Consuelo looks in American clothes when he takes kher to supper after her first performance. "No, maybe you think a gypsy is good enough?" Conâ€" suelo taunts Stewart. (NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY) CHAPTER 28 STEWART DID not have time to answer. Consuelo was caught up in the maq excitement, for the crowd had sighted her. As she went down the alley it was all the police could do to keep the people back from her. The girl shcuted words of gratitude to them. Her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were shining with happiness, but there was a wistfulness under the happiness that none of her own were here to see her this night, no welcome word of Romany praise to come to her, no gypâ€" sy shout of admirationâ€"no gypsy man to take her in his strong arms and kiss ier lipsâ€"no gypsy manâ€" And she walked like another person. Her feet stepped lightly, for there was no sound of clinking bracelets or the tinkling of bangles or the ring of anklets making telltale music while she walked. She paused befors she got into the limousine and raised her arms to them. "My friends, my white friends, . I think youâ€"" There were tears tremâ€" bling on her eyvelashes. There were times during the evening when she held tight to Doug‘s hand and the reassuring pressure of his finâ€" gers was good. This first party given in her honour was bit terrifying, this first night of triumph a bit appalâ€" ling. Never in her wildest imaginings had she pictured this kind of successâ€" always it haq been a vague, elusive thing where she stood alone in the marble palace. "Gypsy girl, you are not with us. Are you thinking of tne gypsy Ccamp and that man you did not marry?". Stewart asked. ‘ "Noâ€"noâ€"I am not thinking of the gypsy camp. Tell me, white man, am I still a gypsy?" He caught her hands. "To me, you‘re still a gypsy girlâ€" to New York you‘re going to be the Gypsy Dancer of Broadway. Will that make any difference to you?" "Still a gypsyâ€"still a gypsy." She reâ€" peated the words in Romany and the sound way good on her lips. "With all of these white clothes on I have been feeling timid like a gorgio and not like the Gypsx Consuelo." "You‘re beautiful, do you know that?" "I am good encugh for you now?"

"I like that gypsY your love for me, 8Y1 She fingered the glass before her. "Â¥You are very sure of yourself, aren‘t you, my friend?" She did not give him time to answer. "I will drink with you, yes, but this that you call hard liquor is not as strong as the beer we have in the camp. The champagne you drink is not as sparkling as the water that flows in the creeks. Tell me, my white friend, is all that the gorgio has to offer me less than that which I have had?" "Is toâ€"night less?" His voice was slightly irritated. ‘"The people in the little country towns you‘ve danced in could not compare with this audienc* that watched you toâ€"night. There was the best of New York thereâ€"beauty, brains and wealthâ€"wnat more could you ask?" "Now you are lying! They must be poorer than my country friends you speak of so lightly, These dogs! Toâ€" night I stood on the stage bowing to them and not one, not one silver dolâ€" lar rolled to my feet!" He laugh:d and called her his innoâ€" cent darling. He explained that n New Ycork they did nothing so crude as to throw money on the stage; that sgilver dollars would come rolling from berg; that toâ€"morrow she would be given a new contract and that it would mean hundreds of dollarsâ€"more than she had ever had. ; She was still scornful. ' "Now again you are wrong. Silver dcllars! I have not seen more than a handful. Your money do you not hold in your hands but carry on A piece‘ of paper which you write something on. I have seen Douglas do itâ€"or I have seen him sign things in the storesâ€" but money, no! In the gypsy camp # dollar was a dollar and a piece of gold a piece of gold and that was what it would buy. That oGldberg said he was giving me a hundred dollars week while I have been here, but he is a fat liarâ€"I have not held more than five doilars in my hand at any time. When I had finisheq dancing at country fair I was rich. Why, my hands could not hold the coins and the pocket of my skirt hung heavy with silver moâ€" ney." She paused and raised her eyes to his. "When Marcu had a gift for me he did not send Voda. Or when the Dummy gave me the shawi he did not have Petru put it about my shoulders. You are a stranger to me, white man." "I will be a stranger no longer." The gypsy camp moved south. Outâ€" wardly there was no change, but inâ€" wardly some part of its heart had been torn away. They remembered that her| laugh had been the loudest,; that her song l.ad been the sweetest; that her temper had been the hottest; her lips the reddest; and her dancingâ€"well, no gypsy could ever equal the whirl of her body and the click of her fingers and the beat of her feet on the ground. They recounted the times she had danced, and with awe in their eyes, told again and again how they had left the fighting men to watch her nimble feet and could not say why it was that she had drawn them so. YÂ¥es, a thousand times yes. Gypsy , I‘m mad about you. You re the eliest thing I‘ve ever seen." YVmr have left me alone like a dog.‘ t gypsy blood. I drink to me, gypsy girl.

Hours he spent [in gaging at his work and strangely he was content. There was no wife of l Marcu to haunt him, only the gay figâ€" ure h> had painted. Always she would ‘look down on him from the side of the van, for he vowed to himself to keep the paint alive as was the image of the girl in his heart. He longed for her, missed the hours they had spent together. It was as if a part of his life had been taken away. But deep within him he knew one thing and so he was content. It matâ€" tered little where she had gone, or where she was, she had said to him, kiss and forgiveâ€"andâ€"she was not the wife of Marcu. So he smiled at the picâ€" ture, his soul in communication with it. Dead lips, dead earsâ€"ah, but he was content. Each that he worked, and he was always busy, he worked for her, feeling her presence. Thnere were times when he woud loock up, so near did she seem to him. His lips would lose the smile. The place beside him was empty, but so were Marcu‘s arms and the smile returned. .*-â€"-â€"_â€"â€"-â€"â€"-.-â€"-â€"._â€"-â€"â€"â€"_â€"â€"-â€"-â€"- This Week is Fire Prevention Week All Gdod Citizens Called| Upon to Observe Week by | Special Care and Thought| About Fire Prevention. The week of Oct. 7th to 12th incluâ€" sive is Firse Prevention Week in Canada this year. This is a week set apart by the Dominion Government with the purpose of stirring thought to the senseless waste of property and lives through firss in Canada and the need for active and earnest measures to preâ€" vent these unnecessary fires.

"And whereas the waste thus occaâ€" sioned, represented in terms of human life, money, labour, time and natural resources, cannot be reâ€"created but is an absolute and irrevocable loss largely distributed over the entire population through the agency of firs insurance which imposes an inescapable and burâ€" d@ensome tax upon industry and thrift and substantially adds to the cost of living. "And whereas it is shown by reliable statistics that at least eighty per cent. of the firss which occur originate either directly or indirectly through inexcusâ€" able ignorance and neglect and are therefore preventable and that the exâ€" ercise of reasonable prudence and proâ€" per carefulness on the part of responâ€" sible individuals would reduce the losses by fire in Canada to the comâ€" paratively insignificant proportions of losses in other countries "And whersas economic and humaniâ€" tarian considerations imperatively deâ€" mand that human life and material resources in Canada be so far as sible conserved in order that the naâ€" tional prosperity may be and that the generai welfare of the people may be measurably increased ; __"New know ye that we, by and WIUl! ong consideration.â€"Yours very truly, the advice of our Privy Council f0r| m Milne Sons, per W.

An answer by the Wm. Milne Sons lumber firm, who asked for the tim‘ber to be put up for sale, may also be of interest to readers of The Advance. This letter appeared m The Sudbury Star last week and reads as follows:â€" Editor, Ths Sudbury Star:â€"I have been informed that there was an article in The Sudbury Star recently criticising the gcvernment for putting up some timber for sale in the townships of Briggs and Chambers in the Temagami Forest Reserve. I am assuming that, probably, you are | not aware of the facts in connection with the sale of this timber and, if perâ€" mitted to do so, would like to explain scmetking about the matter. t We have been carrying on our inâ€" dustry at Trout Mills, three miles from North Bay, on the T. N. O. Railway for 36 years and during that time have ncot missed a year in taking out a stock | of logs and were the only company in | the North Bay area that operated all through the depression. It has been necessary for us to rail in our logs to our mill cver a period of 30 years and, during that time, we have probably paid the T. N. O. Railâ€" way half a million dollars on freight on logs, not saying anything about freight on lumber and other commodiâ€" ties and railway fares for our employees which will give you some idea about what our industry has meant to the ecovernment railway. On top of that we have paid the highest stumpage ever paid in the proâ€" vince of Ontario and believe we are quite safe in saying that our company is the only one that kept its obligations to the government in regards to removâ€" ing high priced timber. If we carry on our industry it is necessary for us to secure some more timber, and the timber in the Temâ€" agami Lake area is about the only i available timber we know of, at present, that would be suitable for carrying on our cperations. Timber has been, and ! is being removed in the Temagami Forâ€" ‘est Reserves, and we cut timber in 1914 lright; behind the village of Temagami. timber we asked to have put up ‘for sale is overâ€"mature, a lot of which is blowing down every year and, on account of it not being salvaged, is a total loss to the province. We think it should appeal to anyone \ with breadâ€"minded views that timber, \tke same as anything else, arrives at a \time when it should be removed, if the Crown is to get any value out of its raw i pesources. We believe it is not in the interests of the province of Ontario for any pubâ€" lication to criticize the present adminâ€" istration for putting this timber up for sale, and we hope the views expressed in this letter will appeal to your seriâ€" ous consideration. â€"Yours very truly, %m.

Pathos and romance both found side." Pathos and remance both found a place in the songs. Mr. Barbeau comes to the important conclusion that the theory of Grimmâ€"that folk songs angq perhaps tales are the fruit of colâ€" lective inspirationâ€"does not apply to Quebec, nor to France where the folk singers do not create song but only conserve and transmit them orally. Tabulating the first collection of reâ€" cords and comparing them with those of provincial France made it cléiar that perhaps 19 out of 20 Quebec songs were fairly ancient; they had come from overseas with the 17th century immigrants "to enliven the new woodâ€" _land homes.‘" New songs were added by rustic songâ€"makers. These form the ipuxely Canadian repertory, perhaps cnly 10 per cent. of the whole. All the others have come from France more or less in their present state. The true folk songs arrived in Canâ€" ada before 1680 with the early settlers from the provinces of Normandy and the Loire river. "These songs far exâ€" ceed all others and they are incomparâ€" ably the best . . . the creation of poets whose consummate art had inherited an ample stock of meiric patterns and a wealth of ancient lore common to many European races." Striking instances are given of how folk songs have travelled down the centuries and over the map. One of these is "Dame Lombards," which had‘ its inception in Northern Italy at the\ end of the sixth century, assumed its fixed form a century or two later, migrated into France where it was reâ€" corded cnly once and finally passed to French Canada, where it still survives.| Ancient folk songs are characterized ; by their invetsrate nomadism.
