Neither Diana nor her father, Major Balter can fully understand the letter. It contains references to an earlier letter which apparently the captain had sent but which Diana had never received .

In spite of the smoothness with which matters had gone, however, there was a certain atmosphere of strain between the men, which Diana could not help noticing, and she wondered uneasily what had been the cause of it. Toby seemed to be a little distrait, which was unlike him; while her father sat back in the cab with a frown on his face and appeared to be taking no inâ€" terest whatever in his surroundings. sea captain engaged on "Oh, that!" the major had responded, airily.

And the result is thatâ€"well, to put it plainly, I‘m flat broke at the moment. Broke and in debt! Ha! ha‘!" But Toby failed to appear amused. "I gsee," he said slowly, after a disâ€" tinctly awkward pause. "Well, how much do you need?" The major hadn‘t liked his tone at all, but in the circumstances he had still done his best to treat the matter lightly. "Oh, call it another tenner," he said. "But you‘d better let me have twenty, to be on the safe side. Then I needn‘t "But what about that ten pounds you had the other day?" Toby had deâ€" manded bluntly. "Won‘t that cover it?" "Look here, Bishop," he had said. "I‘ve just had my bill from the smoking rcom steward, and I find it‘s rather bigger than I thcught. There‘s another little matter too, that I have to settle before I leave the shipâ€"and the fact is that I‘ve got rather short of ready cash again." In point of fact, the major had found himself compelled to call upon the younzer man for further financial assistance, and the manner in which his requss had been received had conâ€" firmed him in his belief that young Bishop lacked delicacy and those finer feelings which are the hallâ€"mark of gcood breeding.

It was the more surprising as Toby had been in a particularly cheerful mood as they had stood together on deck watching the approach to the land. Then the major had come along and taken him away, and when next she Eventually, Toby has his way, and the three sail for Cuba. The vovage is marred by the Major‘s extravagance, and his borrowings from the young man lead to a quarrel. sCHUMACHER PHONXE 788 He stared out of the windows of the taxi unseeingly as it sped along the wide handsome streets of the city, and the coccasional talk of his two companâ€" ions conveyed nothing to him. Twilight was already descending, and most of the shop windows were brightly lighted, but the unfamiliar scenes through which they were passing held no attraction or ‘ even interes for him. In point of fact, he was already regretting the snug | smoking room of the Pasaje and the who had proved such congenialâ€"if The taxi drew up before the hotel, and a gorgeously clad functionary siped down the steps and assisted them out. To the major‘s relief, the place was built upon lines that suggested the West End rather than the West Indies, and as he followed the others up into the magâ€" niiicent lounge, his eye was caught by a discreetly illuminated glass panel inâ€" To the American Barâ€"with an arrow indicating the direction. "Look here, Bishop! 1 think we‘ll drop this discussion," he had said with what dignity he could muster. ‘"You evidently don‘t understand that a man in my position is committed to certain â€"er social expenses which don‘t affect you. So we‘ll agree to differ in the matter." And with that he stalked off. He had been badly upset by the inâ€" cident, however, and he promised himâ€" self that when he was in a position to square the debt he had incurred, he would lose no time in severing his conâ€" nection with this; young upstart. It was preposterous, he told himself, that he should have to defer to him at all, and the moment cirecumstances allowed, he would show him plainly that a mere financial obligation did not put them upon a social level. Diana, it was true seemed to have some liking for the fellow‘s company, but he flattered himâ€" self that he still had some authority over her. He would have to be reminded that a mere successful garage proprietor who had graduated from a livery stable, was no suitable companion for the daughter of Major Salter. s lig h t ly expensive â€" companions throughout the past fortnight. That was the kind of life for which he was emâ€" inently suited he told himself and if his soaring expectations were realized, he promised himself a similar pleasant experience at no distant future. He would go alone next time, though. A aaughterâ€"even a grownâ€"up daughter who could be left to take care of herâ€" s>lfâ€"was still something of a tie to a man‘s freedom of action and she would probably be jus as happy to stay at home. The major had glared at him speechâ€" lessly for a moment or two, and then, with a heroiz effort, curbed his; boiling temper. After all, he reflected, this young pup held the purseâ€"strings for the mcment, and he simply couldn‘t afford to quarrel openly with him. you can‘t be sure that your presiant rate of expenditure will be justified, even then." "What do you mean?" the elder man demanded, and he had made no attempt to disuise his annoyance now. "Are you taking it upon yourself to dictate my course of conduct?" ; "Not at all!" Toby retorted ccolly. "I‘m only pointing out that it isn‘t very wise to spend money extravagantly beâ€" fore you‘ve got it." "Perhaps so." Toby agreed, without conviction. "I‘m sure I hope you willâ€" but I shall be very surprised if you arse I should think a month or two would be nearer the mark. And in any case, "Oh, come, Bishop!" he had lated incredulously. "Can‘t spare it?" | "That‘s what I said," Toby aserrted | coldly. "I‘ve drawn what I thought' would be sufficient to cover our expenses but I certainly hadn‘t anticipated proâ€" viding spending money at the rate of thirty pounds in a fortnight." ! The major stared at him, flushing deeper than ever. | "But my good fellow, I‘m not asking you to give it to me!" he said wit..fl frigid dignity, "This is a mere temâ€" porary loan. Really, I fail to understand your attitude at all!l In a matter of a , day or two. I shall be in position to repay you in full." | The major had taken the notes mechanically, but his face had flushed a dull red at the young mans abrupt tone. He had kept his rising annoyance in check, but at the same time he had felt that he could not allow this obvious and somewhat offensive parsimony to pass without protest.

He was a man of about fiftyâ€"five, dressed in a wellâ€"cut Palm Beach suit, and with a massive, cleanâ€"shaven face The major stared up at him with considerable astonishment. He was positive that he had never seen the man before, yet here the fellow was with his name on the tip of his tongue. "Salter?" he echoed. "That is my name, sir, but you have the advantage of me. I am positive I have never met vou before." An expression of something like beâ€" wilderment passed over the other‘s face. "Your name is Salter?" he repeated.

He had changed his money for currency at the barrier, and when he had paid for his drink, he lay back on the settee sipping it and eyeing the throng in the bar with a mixture of curicsity and distrust. He found the bar to be a comfortablyâ€" furnished apartment, with settees and takles placed round the walls, in addiâ€" tion to a row of high, cireular stools before the horseshoeâ€"shaped counter.

It is not always realized just how ecstly it is to be without adequate protection from wind. In dwellings, the fuel required to heat the house is often doubled when there is wind, and even then it is almost impossible to maintain an even and comfortable temperature. In barns and poultry houses the problem is equally serious. Much of the feed that should be going into profitable production has to be used up in producing heat to keep the live stock warm. As the proportion of feed that is used in this way is large enough under the best conditions every (Experimental Farms News In many parts c Northern Ontario, the virgin bush is so close to dwellings and farm buildings that it affords proâ€" tection from the penetrating cold o winter winds.
