Discovering that Brocklebank is a dependable person of excellent educaâ€" tion, who speaks French fluently, he asks him if he would care to undertake an errand to Europe, for which he is prepared to pay 2,000 dollars, bank, who is in America getting busiâ€" ness experience, but has lost his job, is attracted by the offer. The task is to meet Harrison‘s niece, PAMELA. at Marseilles, where she is arriving from the Near East, and to conduct her to London, where Harriâ€" son «will be awaiting her at the Felton Hotel. Harrison explains that his niece will have in her possession something of great value which certain individuals are intensely anxious to get. In this connection Harrison explains that he is engaged in what he calls a ‘private war‘ with certain money interests. He shows Brocklebank a photograph ‘f a middleâ€" aged man with a grey moustache and narrow eves, and warns Brocklebank against him. When the story opens. Brocklebank is on his way from Paris to Marseilles by train. When he goes to the restaurant car for dinner, he sees in a far corner a man closely resembling the photoâ€" graph which Harrison showed in New Y ork.

He wore a cool, calculating expression in his rather narrow eyes. He inclined to baldness. His upper lip was concealed by a closeâ€"clipped grey moustache. Harâ€" rison watched Brocklebank intently while he examined the picture. "Not a prepossessing person. But rather on the elderly side to lay out, with an uppercut if it came to that." Harrison laugched." "You needn‘t fear he‘ll ask for it. You just look at him as you looked at his counterfeit presentiâ€" ment: that‘ll be enough. Not that I suppose you‘ll see him.

This knowledge likewise is alarming to a great many.

On Thursday of last week The Adâ€" vance published an article dealing with the sale of poppies during the past 16 years. It dealt also with the formation of the Legion relief fund and told what it has accomplished. The article stated that over $16,000 had been given out in relief. Some have questimed this statement, and so The Advance checked up on the figures and finds the total approximately correct. The grand total expended for relief, direct and indirect, by the Legion would make $16,000 all right, but it is true that some of this amount was returned. Taking this return into account it is still safe to say that the net total may be stated as $12,000 t‘> relieve distress in Timmins and district during the past ten years by the Canadian Legion. Citizens will be asking during the reâ€" maining few days to the 11th of Noâ€" vember to buy poppies, wreaths and emâ€" blems. They in return will of course wish to know somthing about where their contributions go. A brief outline is given as follows: 1. The poppies are purchased from the Vetcraft Shops, and are manufacâ€" tured by disabled veterans, who receive 3. The profits from local sales is placâ€" ed into the Legion relief fund. This fund has been the means of assisting hundreds of exâ€"servicemen and their dependants. a small amount for the work to boost their pension checks. 2. The profit from sailes to the Vetâ€" craft Shops helps to carry ‘on the work, and a very small percentage is given to help maintain Legion Service Bureau work among exâ€"servicemen. 4. The fund is handled exclusively by the Legion executives officers and each case is assisted upon merit. One of the main items has been winter fuel and clothing. Bedding also has figured largely in the amounts. 5. As a means of relieving the heavy cost of the transients coming to town during the depression years, the Legion relief fund @C>â€"operated with other orâ€" ganizations and the town and took charge ‘of all exâ€"servicemer. ‘These men were given meals, bed and clothing if needed and kept for about three days. This was done in order to give a man a chance to seek employment here.
