As a result, when the Algonquins did arrive, the unit, hundreds strong, marched into camp with eyes neither right nor left, irresâ€" pective of whom they were passing. Also, it is related, it took the tough Northerners little time to put the air force men in the Brandon district in their place. . There are some 1,500 men in the No. 2 Mannnw Pool of the Comâ€" monwealth air training plan there, and also some hundreds at a service fiying school on the outskirts of the city.

If exposed to direct sun keep the head covered. Wear light, porous clothing during hot weather. Remain where there is circulation of air if possible. An electric fan may be used to create a breeze. Avoid undue physical exertion. Drink adequate amount of cool waâ€" ter (not iced). The body is cooled by perspiration but the fluid must be replaced by a large intake of water. This varies with the individual: and the length of exposure to heat. Often 8 to 12 glasses a day are nceded. Use a liberal amount of salt with food or add it to the water.. This reâ€" places salt and other elements lost through perspiration.

(Released by The Bell Syndicate, Inc) Prophecy Published in Poland in 1893 Tells of These Days A prophecy published in Poland in 1893 and almost startlingly accurate in its prediction of both the present conâ€" flict and the war of 1914â€"1918 has been given out through Marie secretary of the Polish Canadian Club of Ottawa. I predicted: "Poland will arise from the flames of the world (1914), two eagles (Germany and Russia) will fall broken; but for a long time her fate is still dreadful and her dreams are still unruffled. " . .. The Blake Eagle will come to grief when turning its eyes Eastward, spreading its Teutonic customs, it will return with a broken wing.‘" Foreseeing _the time when the doubleâ€"eagle of Russia would be reâ€" placed by the Hammer and Sickle, the seer speaks of "The Eagle and the Hammer occupying foreign soil." The prophecy continues: "The proud White Russia, the wealthy Ukraine enâ€" list under the Polish Ranners. â€" Our Eagle spreads to the Black Sea, reâ€" turning to its old trails. "The Danube again soaks in luxury and at the time peace is made in Warsaw, three kings will water their horses in that river. "Three countries, together with Rumania at the sovereign‘s throne of Poland will unite in an eternal union. "Poland will rise from sea to sea. Wait for this half a century.

"Aren‘t you afraid of this fog?" "I‘ve driven in worse," Peggy said with a smile. "And I‘m not a bit afraid." "That‘s splendid," said Althea with a sigh of relief, and final goodbyes were said. The fog was really no more than a mist and since a fog lamp had been fitted to what was a new and wellâ€"equipped car, Peggy enjoyed the experience. "Don‘t go fast," Miss Rivers begged. "I‘m always nervous in this sort of weather." "T‘ll show you the garage," the other said, "then when you‘ve taken me there the man shall drive you to the station. Do you live in London?" She did the only thing possibleâ€" put her foot down on the accelerator. The car leaped forward like a live thing. There was a slight jar as the rear wing just touched the back of the lorry, then they were past and safe. "I‘ll be very careful," Peggy proâ€" mised. "I‘m in lodgings there at present, but I‘d much sooner live in the country." "The country‘s all very well in sumâ€" mer, but I prefer to be in London in winter. I have a house in Belgrave Square." She gave a sudden scream. "On,: look! That lorry !" The lorry, a monstrous shadow in the misty twilight, had backed sudâ€" denly out of an unseen gateway. The road was narrow, with banks as high as those of a Devonshire lane. Peggy, who was driving at about twentyâ€"five miles an hour, saw in a flash that she could not pull up in time to avoid a collision. Miss Rivers‘s house, Alderly, was on the opposite hill. It was not so large as Hound Court, but a far pleasanter place. "That was pretty bad driving," she said to the man in the lorry. "And why have you no rear light? It‘s past lighting up time." The driver, an eldâ€" erly man, was far more scared than Peggy pulled up instantly, got out and went back. "I looked round before I started Miss, but I didn‘t see anything coming You ain‘t hurt, are you?" "We are not hurt but the car wing is scratched. If you‘d had a rear light I could have stopped. 1 shall have to take your number?" "I shall lose my job if you do, Miss," the man said in quiet despair. Peggy felt he was telling the truth. i‘Then I won‘t report it. But let it be a lesson to you." Peggy was certain that Miss Rivers could never have furnished a room like this, with its delicate pastel shades, its dainty chair coverings and well chosen water colours. "It belonged to an architect who bulilt it himself," Miss Rivers told Peggy. "He died and I took it over with all the furniture and pictures." "One I won‘t forget Miss, and goodnight." Miss Rivers was still in a very shaky state when Peggy got into the car again. At the same time she was full of admiration for Peggy‘s quick action. She was, if possible, still more imâ€" pressed by the way in which Peggy had Miss Rivers did most of the talking as they sat in the drawing room. She disclosed that she was now twentyâ€" gone back to tackle the lorry driver. "It‘s wonderful. I couldn‘t have done it. I‘d have been frightened to death." "I was scared all right," Peggy said with a laugh, "but the man was far more scared than I. I told him I would not report him. Do you mind?" "I don‘t mind. All I want is to get home in one piece." She sat up ‘"‘Then I‘ll â€"cor Ppeggy said frankly "I don‘t mind. All I want is to get home in one piece." She sat up straight. ‘"Miss Fletcher," she went on eagerly, "Do me a favour. Drive me home and let me put you up for the night. You can telephone to your landlady. Please do." iPeggy let in the clutch and sent the car on slowly down the hill. "It‘s kind of you, Miss Rivers, but I have nothing with me." "I can lend you anything you want. And I‘m all alone so there‘s no need to dress for dinner." 1e# # x t l Ti TTE PUBLISHMED BY SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT come with pleasure," Thank you seven and mistress of a very large fortune, most of which had come to her from her father. Dinner was simple but good, and the waiting was done by a competent, middleâ€"aged maid named Parker, It was the first meal of its kind that Peggy had seen since leaving Coombe Royal, and she frankly enjoyed the deft waiting, the fine silver and glass and quantities of wellâ€"arranged flowâ€" ers. Plowers, it appeared, were the one hobby of her hostess. They had coffee in the drawingâ€" room, served in Sevres cups. Again they talked. Peggy told about her early life and managed to avoid any mention of the last three years. In spite of the comfort of a perfect room, Peggy lay awake that night for a long time. She was thinking of John Arkwright, wondering sadly how he ‘was faring and if she would ever see him again. "Would you come to me?" she asked. "Mary Berry, my personal maid, is leaving to get married. I am not sugâ€" gesting you should take her place, Miss Fletcher. Please don‘t think that." ‘"No, no! My idea is this, that you should come here as my companion and to drive my cars. I should feel safe with you, andâ€"and, you see, I like you, Miss FPletcher." "I wouldn‘t mind," said Peggy, with a smile. Peggy, for her part, liked Miss Rivâ€" ers, and for that very reason it seemed to her hardly fair that she should acâ€" cept this offer under a false name, and with a cloud hanging over her. Miss Rivers mistook her silence, and went straight to the question of salary. That was easily settled. CHAPTER XXTI CAT BURGLAK Olive Glyde was delighted to hear of Peggy‘s new post. Mrs. Ashe was equally pleased, but when she got Peggy into her sittingâ€"room she said that she had news for her. "And news, I‘m afraid, you won‘t like, Miss Peggy," she added, frowning. "Miss Isobel has got married again." ‘"‘Married! To whom?" "It‘s that Mr. Mason you saw and told me about." "I‘m a oneâ€"girl man, Peggy,‘‘! he ended. ‘"If I have to wait for you as long as Jacob waited for Rachel I can do it. But it won‘t be as long as that. Somehow I‘ll get to the bottpm of this cursed mystery. Take care of yourâ€" solf, my dearest. Yours ever, John." ‘‘Mason! Oh, but that‘s impossible, Mrs. Ashe." "It‘s true, Miss. It happened at the Register Office in Chelsea yesterday." Peggy sadly felt that she had seen the last of Isobel and Isobel was her only near relation. She had no aunts or uncles, no cousins. But the tie beâ€" twen herself and her sister had never been close. The two had never seen much of one another and they looked on life from very different angles. Pegy wrote to Mr. Meakin, telling him of her new post and had a reply in which the old lawyer warmly conâ€" gratulated her. "John Arkwright is quite fit again," he went on. "He has got back to work. I am forwarding a letter for you which he has sent me.‘ Peggy thrilled at sight of John‘s bold handwriting. She thrilled still more as she read this, her first real love letter. It was hard to believe that stolid, unromantic John Arkwright could have written it. The mischief of it was that Peggy could do nothing about it As Ruth Fletcher she was forced to keep her lips closed and herself in the backâ€" ground as much as possible. On Monday Peggy went to Alderly. Miss Rivers herseKd met her at the station. "I told Gertrude Fareham that you were coming to me," she said. "And she was pleased." "You will miss her, Miss Rivers." "Dreadfully. She was my one real friend here." Peggy soon found that this was litâ€" erally true. Her new employer had "got off on the wrong foot." Her friends or rather acquaintances, were the wrong people altogether, and she did not know it. Many were impecuâ€" nious flatterers who hang about wherâ€" ever money may be touched. so far as her work went, it was child‘s play compared to what she had done at Coombe Royal, until they moved to the old town house in Belâ€" grave Square which Althea had menâ€" tioned during their first drive. Alâ€" thea had had the place modernized. There was central heating and excelâ€" lent furniture, and Peggy found much to do. They went to many theatres and films, and Althea danced a great deal. But Peggy flatly refused to go to places like The Green Lantern. She was desperately afraid of running into Edgar or Mrs. Jardine. Althea Rivers had some good jewelâ€" lery, the best piece being an emerald necklace worth a great deal of money. Peggy, who retained a vivid ‘recollecâ€" tion of Chesham‘s attempt to steal Mrs. ‘Trelawnev‘s rubies, had urged Althea lery, the One foggy night in November Althea had gone out to dance and Peggy was busy with housechold accounts at a writing table in the drawing room. Her fountain pen ran dry, there was no ink in the room and she got up inâ€" tending to get some in the library. Dinner had been cleared some time ago and the servants were all below stairs. There is seldom very much traffic in Belgrave Square, and on this night of fog there was none. The house was silent as a tombâ€"so silent that Peggy was able to hear a clinkâ€" ing sound which seemed to come from overhead. _ * It was faint but Peggy‘s hearing was exceptional and she paused at the foot of the stairs, listening kgsenly. It caine again. Its very faintness was suspicious. Of course it might be one of the maids, but there was no reason for any maid to be upstairs at this hour. Some stranger in the house â€"someone after Althea‘s necklace! Peggy did not hesitate. She went straight upstairs. On the thick, soft stair carpet her light slippers made no sound, and her movement along the corridor above was equally silent. She stopped outside Althea‘s rorm and put her ear against the door. Susâ€" picion changéd to certainty. Someone was there. Pegy paused. Her heart was beating rather fast. Her first impulse was to run back downstairs andâ€"call Cui®â€" mings, the butler. But Cummings was old and stout. He would never face a burglar. All he would do would be to go out in search of a policeman. And what a chance of finding one on a night like this! There was the telephone, of . course, but that would mean. delayâ€"delay enough to give the thief a chance to get away with his spoil. No, if the necklace was to be saved it was up to Peggy to save it. Very cautiously she tried the doot. It was locked. That she had expected. She had read somewhere that any burglar who knows his ‘tJ6b first fasâ€" tens on the inside the door of the room where he is working. She paused for a moment and thought hard. Althea‘s bedroom windows faced the front of the house, and there was balcony. outside. It was almost imâ€" possible for the man to have entered the house by a door, so Peggy felt certain that he must be a cat burglar and that he had climbed the balcony under cover of the fog. If he left the same way the only chance to catch him was to go outside and wait for him., A bit of a risk, to put it mildly, but Peggy was determined to save that necklace. She turned quickly into her own room, got a torch, and was turning back to the door when she heard Alâ€" thea‘s door open softly. She made a rush and reached the corridor just in time to flash her light in the face of the burglar. 7 Funeral at Hyndford of Mrs. John Crawford ‘The man wa sister Isobel‘s h (From Eganville Leader) The body of Hannorah Wren, wife of the late John Crawford, was conâ€" veyed from Toronto to the home of her brother, John Wren, Hyndford, Saturâ€" day and the funeral was held Sunday afternoon to St. James‘ Church and cemetery.
