When Lorna went out, her aunt was in the hotel, and Heywksford was si‘tting in his seat, studying a magazine. As she approached she saw it was the magazine with her photograph and the chapter about her engagement intit; it flashed on her that perhaps he hadn‘t known she <was engaged, for. with an ultraâ€"modern carelessness of~ such things, she seldom wore her ring... ‘ "I don‘t regard myself as anyone‘s ‘presiarve,‘~" Lorna said. colouring, "I‘m a free individualâ€"at least, I hope so! You need not regard yourself as solely responsible.!" "If I‘d known I wouldn‘t have been poaching on someone else‘s preserve.!" She sat in the back of the car; he got into his seat in front, and after a moment, without any preliminary, without looking round, said quietly: "I didn‘t knok you were éngaged." "I didn‘t know you were engaged." to find herself a trifle nervous. He saw her coming, put down the magazine‘ and got out of the car to open the door for her. She looked at him, and knew immediately that he hnad szen the photograph. "Good morning. Hawksford!" "Good morning.‘"‘ Why were his eyes so stern, so questioning? Timmins, Ont. Phones: Offices 2725 Res. 1429 Lorna drew back immediately. An unpleasant little feeling haunted her as she dressed. Had she been very indiscreet? Allen didn‘t mind her flirting a littleâ€"but with her father‘s chauffeur Allen might well consider that she hadn‘t shown very much disâ€" cretion. «Miss Marris went away with the magazine under her arm. Ten minutes later when Lorna sprang out of bed she glanced out the window and saw Hawksford standing below by the car, waiting for her aunt. As though his attention had already been on Lorng‘s window, Hawksford <looked up; he smiled slightly, the wry smile of a man who preserves the outward convenâ€" tions. but conveys a personal meaning.

And he could smile! "Of course, T shall have to tell Capâ€" tain Richards; you know that?" â€" "I daresay you feel you should." The smile died then. a look of â€"humiâ€" lity took its place. ' ® (To be Continped.) Very pale, Lorna walked in through tht halfâ€"opened door. Hawksford stcoq there with the notecase in his hand. thinking better, apparently, of his efâ€" fort at concealment.

She dropped the notecase into the drawer and snapped it shut. A voice within her was saying over and over; "A thiefâ€"a common â€" thiel!" Her She took an involuntary step toâ€" wards him and he turned immediately, looking straight into her eyes through the glass door. If she had doubttd at all that the notecase was Allen‘s, the way in which Howksford made to whip it out of sight told everything. She stared. He was standing at Allen‘s dressing table, He was exâ€" amining. something he was holdlng in his hands...a note case! The â€" signiâ€" ficance of â€"it came to her with a queer, dull â€"shock. The depth of her own sick horror surprised herâ€"for an instant everything went black. Hawksford was pilfering in her fiance‘s room. Two days later found them all on the other side of Cook Strait, having crossed with the car by ferry to Picton; and they were all staying in a small hotel on the Pictonâ€"Nelson road, in < dâ€"coumtry. dotted only at ip’!ret; qu nt. infiervals with sheep .

If Lorna had not stepped out on to that balcony to look gt the long afternoon shadows, softening the clear cut outlines of the chaotic yellow hills, what followed in the strange and troubled months to come might have been very different... She shared her own room with htr aunt; on the left was her father‘s room; and on the right was Richard‘s. Hawksford slept downstairs. Hawksford was there to drive them to the hotel. Since the morning when they had gone to Mount Egmont, he and Lorna had not exchanged a word except on the matter of the car. The game .of excessive deference on his part was over; they were two formal. coldly estranged human beings. + ‘Bir Weston got out of the car at ‘Army Headquarters and left them, to ;drive on slone. Richards immediately ~began to talk about mutual friends at home, each smart nickname followed by some jest; interrupting his drawl â€"to look out bf the car window and say: "Good Heavens! This looks pretty crude!" Lorna wondered if it would irritate H:wksford to hear his capital city so openly despised; and wondered how Hawksford liked it when Richards wanted to take her into an hotel for a sherry, â€"and addressed Hawksford peremptorily : + "I say, youâ€"stop here!" The situation was uncomfortable, she blamed herself more than ever for having been indiscreet. Hawksford sat in the car for fifteen â€"minutes, waiting while she and Richards had their sherry, until she insisted on going with the excuse that she would be late dresâ€" sing for dinner. Richards‘s air was immediately of shrewd gravity : se "@uite so, gir!‘" Before Sir Weston, who had the serious view of the world of another generation. they were more dutifuily subdued in their attitude to one another â€" Sir Weston had but the vaguest idea of their relationship. was enough that they were engar,ed and that Richnrd.x. too, ‘was a coimpeâ€" tent alde-de-camp. an expert manager, with brains his persuaslve manner, Richards would get on... "Glad to hawe you here, my boy!" said Sir Weston. "I‘ve some interestâ€" ing problems to deal withâ€"very interâ€" esting. I‘ll have to do some . hard thinking before we leave this country." "I‘ve missed you, too. Captain Mills, who is following father about, hasn‘t anything like your charm!‘ , "How are you, darling? Beautiful as éver, and as alluring as they ‘em," wan â€" Allen Richards‘ private greeting to Lorna when he landed in Wellington nine days later, "And I suppose you‘re as fascinating to the other Sex as ever?" was Lorna‘s flippant reply. . "Honestly, darling, I‘ve missed you no end!" Richards said. She gave him oool cheek to kigs. . Hisâ€" face was a atudy of impassive mdifrerenoe He did not look at her. CHAPTER 111 Twenw YearsA MthemmeAdnml Her one At the â€" banquet given by the Engleâ€" hart board of=trade to the visiting delegates to the meeting of the Assoâ€" clated Boards of Trade in 1925, Hon. Mr. Martin, Minister of Agriculture for Ontario, was the guest speaker. Hon. Mr. Martin made a great hit with his frank and able address. He suggested the establisanment of Creameries in the North and promised that the Goyvâ€" ernment would assiist in the financing of the same. Also .the Government would give material help in having There "were" 8#000, gettlers,‘ they ~said, who had no summer road _ facilities wha‘tever. F. M. Wallingford and G. A. Macdonald iwere the representatives of the Timmins board of trade and not only put up a battlq for the resiolutions from Timmins, but also on behalf of the settlers in the North. Twenty years ago there was a very important meeting of the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade at Englehart. The gathering made a number of urgent proposais to the government of the province and reâ€" ceived some definite promises : in reâ€" gard to previous proposals made. ‘It was promised that work would be started in 1925 on the Porquis Juncâ€" tion to Cochrane highway. It was alâ€" _so definitely promiseq that the "Rocky Road along the north shore of Lake Superior‘"‘ as the route of the Transâ€" Canada highway was "out" for good. Among the resolutions ‘before the. meeting was one sponsored by G. A. Macdonald, of Timmins, asking the Government to force. the ‘payment of money owed the settlers for pulpwood before permitting any reâ€"organization of the Mattagami Pulp Co., or the transfer of any limits held by that company. Another matter pressed on the government was â€"in regard to transients from unorganized territory. The Associated Boards; thought that the government, being the only authority collecting any money from unorganized territory, should pay for indigents from unorganized territory. Easier insurance rates for settlers was another matter advocated by the meeting. Rev. Fathers Lajois and Lambert, of Kapusikasing, asked. that $500,000 be ‘spent on roads in North in We xfailowmg five yearfi 9 »\Settlers Â¥ they said, | M.â€"__â€"__-_â€"_____‘_ Ancther organization in Schumacher twenty years ago was the Schumacher Social Club, formed at a meeting in the Recreation hall.

Some of these were leading members of the Timmins Caledonian Society, but found it difficult to attend at Timmins and so were forming a soâ€" ciety of their own. There was every coâ€"operation given by the Timmins Society, many of whom were in attendance and assisted in the orâ€" ganization of the Schumacher Caleâ€" donians. G. A.
