“Conditions at Cochragie in regard to the unemployed are still had. there being two or three hundred transients there who have no available mt, ” said The Advance ten years ago. “The recent riot at Cochrane in which Pro- vincial Constable Ralph Crozier was seriously injured has alienated the sympathy of the people of the town who feelthat the actlon of the most on the occasion in question was 'an ungrateful and mean return for the kindness shown the transients who have been such a burden to Cochrane for several months past. At present the people of Cochrane are looking to the governments to remove these tran- sients at once. If this is not done, there is danger of trouble. the good people of Cochrane being completely disgust- ed wlth the treatment meted out to them apparently from all sides in the cost and annoyance entailed by the influx to the town of the unemployed."

One of these fel- lows was ‘_ said to have boasted about handling four policemen at North Bay, and what he was going to do to the Tirmnins- police was a shame. Then reports. came of men stopping automo- biles and asking for money to buy food and if refused curses and abuse were showered upon the motorists. Unformnatelyhthe motorists concerned did not make complaint to the police until Wednesday and as the wild and wholly fellows did not do anything or say anything before the; police, the lat- ter had .no cause for action. Sunday evening Constable Gauthier saw a couple, of them on Third avenue and advised them to get off the street as they appeared to have been drinking. though not drunk enough to be locked up. They ‘took the advice meekly enough. and made themselves scarce. Then there came stories of blind pigs being invaded by these fellows who secured drinks for which they refused to pay, the owners of the resorts hav- ing no recourse in the matter. "On Tuesday evennig the police received the first complaint on which they could act, a man saying he had been robbed bf $6.00 and. describing his as- sailant, the description agreeing with that of one for the wild men from the West. Constablee Gauthier and Lan- driault went. out and picked up the man described but when he was safely landed at the police station the man who was' robbed could not identify him who was allowed to go with the warning. that this was not a lucky town for wild men. Wednesday, the police were notified, of the beggars stopping motorists and using abuse if money was not forthcoming. A search was made for the men, but they could not be located until just before six o’clock. when Constable Gauthier no- ticed one of them in an old car con- taining three other men who did not look like well-drsessed persons. The constable boarded the; running board of the car and drawmg his revolver covered the four in the car and made the driver proceed to the police sta- tion.

This adit. unused for half a century. was not only low-roofed but dangerous, from rotted props. The floor was mud, deep, sticky, reddtsh mud in which Peggy stuck and'slid. There is nothing like fishing to take your mind off your troublesâ€"that is. if you are fond of itâ€"and for the first time for weeks Peggy felt almost happy. It was a perfect spring morning. Water ouzels ,fiitted from stone to stone, a living jewel which was a kingfisher flashed past her; a pair of sandpipers ran jerkiiy along a stretch of shingle: a water-rat sat up straight at the mouth of its hole, washing its face with its delicate paws; the long stikles sparkled in the sunshine, and the tawny pools under the high peaty banks were starred with the rises of feeding fish. “It was a rabbit," Mrs. Jardine said quickly as Peggy came up. “Toto went in after it. I‘ve called and called. I've even been into this dreadful place but I can’t. see or hear him." There was no choiceâ€"none at all. Peggy walked towards the woman of whom she was more afraid than of any creature on earth. “I'll try,” said Peggy with a calm- ness «which surprised herself, and walked straight into the mine. Peggy went in as far as her eyes would serve her, then stopped and felt for her matchbox which was in a pocket of her light fishing jacket. She heard a thump behind her. A stone had felled from the rotten roof. A horflble idea flashed through her brain and kit her rigid. Had Mrs. Jardine Peggy took many, but kept only the best. Even so,-her creel was heavy when, a little after midday, she came within sight of the high-arched granite bridge which carries the old road to Okestock. To the right rose Hanna- ford Tor, its steep side scarred by the adits of an old and long-disused tin mine. Beneath this was an immense dump of“ reddish earth and rock dug from the bowels of the tor, and at the foot of the dump the old mine-house in in ruins. Up here the breeze was cool and Peggy decided that the sunny side of the mine house would be a capital spot for a rest and lunch. Just tired enough to enjoy a rest. she lunched oiT the sandwiches and coffee she had brought, and having finished. lit a cigarette. “Toto! Toto!” The call came from far up the hill- side, the voice was that of a woman calling a dag which, perhaps, had gone into the mineâ€"«probably after a rabbit. Peggy strode up the hillside in the direction of the adit. She could not see the mouth of the adit. or the dog- owner, for both were hidden by a pro- jecting shoulder of the tor. When at last the woman came into_view. Peggy recognized at once Mrs. Jardine. PEOPLE IN THE STORY: PEGGY GARLAND -- Capable, good- looking companion to MR8. WWâ€" Rich, elderly widow with a country house in Dev- onshh'e. which Peggy runs very effi- ciently. “Oh. do help me," she called. ‘My dog has gone into the mine. and it's all dark and I can't find him.” W W â€" Weskowmed spn of the widow, who dissipates his mother’s money in London and only comes home for more. ‘ PHILIP GRESHAM â€" Edgar’s un- scrupulous gambling partner.

JARDINEâ€"A new neighbour of Mrs. Trelawney. ‘Are you quite sure that vou can keep this to yourself?” Peggy asked the astonished girl when the story was finished. , “Sure and certain, Miss. I wouldn't even tell Father." They did have other talks, and Peggy found Rose a great comfort. It was Rose who suggested that Peggy should go fishing again. “Do go fishing," she said. “I know how you enjoy it." a “ That very night there was rain, and next morning dawned bright, with big soft clouds sailing across the blue. The sort of day lthat is a flsherman’s dream and the first thing Peggy did on getting up was to put a coupfle of casts to soak. By ten o’clock she was on the river. “Dr Charles Penkins?” said Peggy, with a smile. Rose flushed. “Certainly not, Mliss.” ' “We’ll have another talk soon.” Peggy said, as she opened the door and went out. “I was afraid you would recognize me, Rose, but now you have, I'm glad. I’ve been very lonely, with no one to 'talk to. 'Now sit down and, I’ll tell you how it has come about that I’m back here at mee Royal. Peggy could not have aslchl tor a more sympathetic listener. N0" CHANCE Peggy stepped across. put her hands on Rose’s should-:rs and kissed her cheek. PI‘BLISHED BY SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT But for Peggy the repulsion she had always felt (or Mrs. Jardine was doubled by the contact and, when you add to that, the intense pain she was suffering, it is not hard to understand the misery of that short walk. Arrived at last at the road; Mrs. Jar- dine left Peggy sitting on the grassy verse and went to fetch the car which was in the hollow lbelow. She brought it up, turnea it skilfully and helped Peggy in. She put Toto on the seat beside her, started the car and drove slowly back towards Coombe Royal. Peggy lay. bacli with her eyes closed. biting her lip to keep herself from groaning. -. In the brilliant sunlight his face was sharp and clear and Peggy's heart gave a. jump that almost choked her gs she saw how much older he looked than when she had last seeh him. For the moment she sould not speak. could not do anything but stare at him. The car was shopping. Mrs. Jardine was looking around at her. Peggy saw. or thought she saw suspicion in her eyes. “No. don’t stop." Peggy said in a strangled voice. “I know exactly what to do. I don’t need a doctor." Without, a word Mrs. Jardine sent the car on again. mr an Instant recognized her or somehow lenown that she was at 000ml» Royal and was this a plot to get rid of her? With fingers that shook a little she struck a. match and at once saw marks of small paws in the mud at her feet. She gave a short laugh. “Here is Dr. Arkwright. Miss Fleoch- er. Shall I ask him to call and see to the ankle?" Peggy opened her eyes. Here was John Arkwright striding up the slope towards them. not twenty yards awav. match brought. her to a rockfall which lay waste high all across the passage. She struck a third match and looked “'1‘, v- wâ€"â€" wwwwâ€" 'D â€"â€"â€"' â€"â€"'â€"â€"_â€"q “My car is on the road ” she said “If you can get as far I will drive you home. ” ‘ “Thank you," Peggy said. “My name is Fletcher. I am Miss Rivers’s â€"I mean Mrs. Trelawney’sâ€"compan- ion. If I can get to Coombe Royal I shall be all right.” The distance to the road was not more than a couple of hundred yards and all downhill, but to Paggy the journey was an endless nightmare. Not that Mrs. Jardlne was any weakl- lng. Peggy, strong herself, was amaz- ed at the power of the other. Slight as Mrs. Jardine seemed, her muscles were of steel and she knew how to use them. Soon she felt the car slowing, and then Mrs. J‘ardine spoke. “Peggy. you‘ve got the wind up pro- perly.” she said no herself and: holding There was the dog. a Pekinese. stand- ing facing her. Somehow it had scrambled over the fall but been unable to get back! the match high, pushed on. A second Peggy glanced up uncomfortably at the yawning gap in the root from which the stones had fallen. It looked as if a mere touch would bring down an- other ton or two. ’It was no use funk- lng it. She began to climb over, no easy task for the rocks were wet and slippery and she had to use one hand to hold a match. Somehow she man- aged it and stooped to pick up the dog. This time there was no one to help Peggy. Somehow she scrambled mi and, sitting on a stone, took off her shoe and tied a handkerchief as firmly as possible round the ankle. Then, holding to the rotting mine timbers. she hobbled slowly out of the adit. Once in the open she dropped on the turf. She was very near to fainting. The other woman was no fool. She had the shoe and stocking off at once. and taking of! her scarf made a goad Job of bandaging the damaged anl'de. The ungrateful little brute snarled and snapped at her. (Peggy grasped him by the scruff of the neck, lifted him, slung him over not too gently, then followed. So far she had manag- ed excellently, now luck deserted her. Her foot slipped, over she went and the spasm of pain that ran like an electric shock through her ankle made her feel sick. It was the ankle she had sprained in Switzerland and now it had gone ag‘aln. “.You' re hurt!” she heard Mrs. Jar- dine say. “My ankle,” Peggy managed to answer. “IT WAS ALL A TRICK!” For the next few days My lay in bed, surrounded by every comfort. The. cook sent her up perfect little meals. the chaufieur fetched books for her from Taverton, the gardener 'kept he'.‘ room fragrant with flowers. All this .was comforting, yet Peggy was very unhappy. It was not so much the fear that Mrs. Jardine had recognized her: what worried her most was the know- ledge of how greatly John Arkwright was suffering. One glimpse of his face had told her much. \. CONVICTS MUTINY WARDER ATTACKED WITH SHOVELS “Discontent of which rumours have been rife for some time past. culmi- nated yesterday in a sudden and fero- cious attack upon Warder Calderon who was in charge of one of the par- ties on the Dartmoor Prison Farm. The warder was attacked by three men at once and knocked down by a fearful blow on the head from a shovel. He would undoubtedly have been killed but for the bravery of a {fourth pri- soner, who rushed to his assistance and fought off his assailants. In the course of the struggle this man, too. was severely injured. “His name is Leonard Mason, and he is serving a five year sentence for burglary. Warder Calderon was still unconscious at midnight. Mason, who is in the Prison Infirmary, has a bro- ken arm and other injuries, but is said to be doing as well as can beexpected.” Peggy drew a long breath. “Isobel was right after all," she said. “There’s good stufl‘ in that husband of “on. Miss, there’s been trouble up at the prison,” she said. “Some convicts set. on a warder and nearly killed him. The postman told me. He says it’s all in the paper."

Mainly Rose was bursting with curl- osity yet to her credit did not ask a singlequestion. She got Peggy to bed and very gently took the bandage of! the damaged ankle. She shook her head. ‘ Try The Advance Want Advertisement: At Combe Royal the butler and Rose lifted Peggy out, and Mrs. Jar- dine left with polite expressions of thanks over the rescue of her dog. ‘Take me to my room. please," Peggy said, and they carried her up- stairs.

She compromised by writing a short letter to him, which she sent to Mr. Meakin,,with the request that he would post it"from London. O “So that was the way of it," said the girl. “I thought she‘d be up to some of her tricks.” Peggy stared. She had never heard the gentle-voiced Rose speak in such a tone. “What do you mean, Rose?” “I mean it was a trick, Miss Peggy. She saw you fishing and she put that dog in the mine just to make. you go after it.” (Peggy had: an un- pleasant, sinking feeling. “I’m sure I hope she hasn’t.” Ruse said earnestly. “But it’s a long time still before they come home, and she can’t do any harm till then. Don't you worrv, Miss Peggy. I’ve a feeling it will all come right." “It’s badly swollen, Miss. You ought to have a doctor." Rose fetched it and. while she fomented the injured joint, Peggy told her what had happened. “I can’t say that for certain, but I think it's likely. That lady's got eyes like a cat and she's just as‘ inquisitive.” Peggy shook her head. “This is bad. Rose. If she has re- cognized me she may tell Trelawney." “I know exactly what to do."
