infinite indifference infinite weariness in her averted eyes when i went into the kitchen a while back to give your mother a quarter for the ras meter cass said i didnt have a quarter so i picked ip your purse and took it from that and i saw a return ticket from bur- iingame there she remembered now chris had bought her a reurn ticket on satur- ing at her smiling at her they might day afternoon

something about love she remembered he even said something about well fall ing in love with me but it was not serious it was sort of about how furny it would be something like that the man ruminated vpon this for rone moments and mary kute closed her eyes again she heard chris tophers voice saying that her gown was grand that she was a swell maiy mary mary it was a beautiful name it had a hundrcu times the dignity of mary kate he might come into the office to morrow he might stand there look i suppose thats it but you dont know one about him mary kate i know look you might hate him i might

minded that she might have whered you stay oh at one of their houses other people there a seconds cause then she yes did mr rountree ask vou t mary kate oh yes as a favor to him sau to do it cold and shaky and well just mad i was a beginning to seem natural and with restlessness ail the time id not simple her nerves steadied think it had anything to do with i don see why you shouldnt do with him excet that its wors when i that cass mused was steynu j think of him the way his voice sounds the way he looks cass had squared about to face her in the dark xow he said in an al tered voice a speculative deliberate voice say you have got it ive got something ma kate confessed with an unhappy laugh youve felt like that before th man questioned a silence then she said imply never in my life before cass fell silent now too he pot up from the davenport and won to the light and turned it higher a flickering halfhearted illumination wavered on the ugly walls shabby chair and curtains the man pghteii a cigarette lie came back to the davenport but sat apart from her now twisted about so that he faced her the cigarette in his fingers listen here he said you must have had crushes like that before in high school i never did she persisted stead ily mary kate cass said in what considering his young confidence in his masculine power to handle all her problems as well as his own was a new strangely uncertain voice you didnt i mean when we were so happy last week when i was so crazy about you as god knows i am now you didnt fee that sort of feeling then her passive hand lay in his she

course quite possible i to put in a garden without a plan lint the results will not hi nearly as satis factory as when one has plotted everything out on paper these plans should be roughly drawn to scale so that there will be less difficulty in putting them into execution next i month or the month after with the flower garden there are a number of factors to take into consideration it- ono owns the property something per manent should be worked out the de velopment to take place over a period of years close up against the house and screening the rigid lines and cor ners will be shrubbery and perhaps an odd tree or two in front of tils will be the taller lowers perennials or annuals and maybe some spring flow ering bulbs to go in next fail there will be paths to lay out disfiguring but highly necessary telephone and power poles water and sewer con nections straight driveways and simi lar affairs to screen the time of flowering the color of bloom and the height of the various plants must be especially noted along tbo front of the beds dwarf edging material will be used leading up gradually to the taller flowers depending on the width of the bed in this planningit is es sential to have a good seed catalogue handy and perhaps a government bulletin or two both these refer ences are easily procured and of course are free- in the catalogues will bo found all the necessary infor mation such as the height of the various plants the time and color of flowering and any special uses to which the particular flower may be put such as its position with reference to light and soil conditions plan to have something in bloom from the very earliest time in the spring until fall frosts reduce everything to a common level the bulbs of course such as the tulip and hyacinth will come out first and these where a proper selection is made will be fol lowed by a continuous bloom supplied by annuals and perennials until late in september in the warmer sec tions of the province it is quite with in the range of possibility to have some hardy flowers until early novem ber for those people who wish to have something just a little out of the ordinary something they can show their gardening friends with a little pride there are plenty of opportuni ties in this delightful pastime a pool may be installed where water flowers will bloom perhaps along a terrace or behind the shrubbery a rock garden with alpine plants may bo developed away at the back among the trees wild flowers and rare shadeloving plants may be intro duced rose gardens can be provided and here again one can depart from the ordinary by training these beauti- ul bushes to a single stem to repre sent a flowering tree or over quainty built arches and trellises indeed the more on looks into gardening the more it is realized that some things like hilly locations unsightly garages and high fences which regarded at first as obstacles are really oppor tunities for developing special skill have plenty of vegetables in the vegetable garden straight rows are essential a full years sup ply of vegetables can be easily pro duced where the garden is fairly largo and this usually applies to all places in the country the villages or the smaller towns if there is room enough full sized rows of from thirty inches to four feet are advisable so that full advantage can be taken of horse or garden tractor cultivation such vegetables as carrots beets let tuce and spinach can be grown in the narrower rows while potatoes toma toes cucumbers squash and corn re quire from three to four feet in the larger garden it will not be necessary to worry about conserving spaco by alternate rows of quickly maturing stuff such as lettuce and spinach which aro taken off before the latter sorts require tho full room but this does not mean that tomatoes for in stance should be allowed to sprawl over the ground staking of thee plants is always advisable as tho fruit matures earlier and is cleaner and a neater appearance is given to tho whole garden bun the rows north and south so that the sunshine will bo evenly distributed after tho early crops are harvested and the first of them like the radish will be ready in from three weeks to a month sow a cover crop of clover or oats which will cover tho ground keep down weeds and add fertilizer when plowed under by planting this seed at intervals of a week rather than a wholo packet at onco and by tho use of a late medium and early variety we can extend our vegetable season very materially tea fesh from the gardens canadas future i london dally express

canada may be described as the last great fur preserve of the world the fur trade of the dominion is rich in romance duriug the french regime it was the mainspring of dis covery and devopment and later its profits enabled the hudsons bay company to hold the west until the dominion had grown to absorb it for three centuries the wild animal was the sole as it is still the main source of pelts but in the last four decades the fur farm industry hai grown until it supplies abput one- eighth of the skins taken montreal now holds a position as an inter- national fur market and sales aro held also at winnipeg and edmonton while the dressing and dyein of furs is one of the growing industries of the country the year in the fur trade runs from july to june and there has recently a report for the year 1929 in this year the value of canadas production of raw furs was 1st45473 and tho total number ot pelts was 515032s there was for the year an increase ot lo49n3 in the number of pelts taken but ow ing to a fallingoif in the capture of the more valuable animals there was a decrease in value cf about 12000 the figures given represent both the value of pelts taken by trappers and those raised on fur farms the value ot the latter constituting ap proximately 12m per cent ot the total the increase in the number ot pelts taken was made up chiefly by three kinds which have a largo annual production but are among the lower priced furs namely ermine weasel muskrat and squirrel on the other hand beaver coyote fish er blue fox patch or cross fox red fox white fox lynx marten raccoon and wolf many of then- higher priced showed a reduction in the numbers taken improved methods of capture there lias been a marked change in the fur trade in recent years ow- ing to the advance of lumbering min- i ing and settlement as well as to in creased competition and improved methods of capture to meet these i conditions governments of the terri tories and provinces have taken steps to conserve the wild animals while the trade has assisted in meeting the demand for furs by popularizing com mon and previously despised furs and by encouraging the use of furs of domestic animals the fox has proved to be the best suited for domestication although other kinds of furbearers mink raccoon skunk marten fisher muskrat and beaver are being successfully raised in captivity experiments in the breed ing of rabbits for their fur have re sulted in the production of several valuable kinds chief among these be ing a rabbit whose fur resembles that of the bolivian chinchilla and which under the name of chinchilla rab bit is becoming of importance to the fur trade before the war the chief market for canadian furs was in england and that position has been regained within the last year in the inter val it was for a time held by tho united states of the 5100000 of undressed furs exported to the uni ted states and the united kingdom in 1914 england received 3000000 in 1919 out of the 13300000 worth exported only 3700000 went to tho british market in the year ended in june 1929 however great britain took 10300730 out of the total of 23023038 which went to the united states and england more over in the 12 months which ended in june last out of total exports ot undressed furs valued at 17187399 the united kingdom took 9453322 and the united states c9724g6 canadas imports of raw furs in the year just mentioned were less than half her exports being valued at 7- 51ss85 over 80 per cent of thcs imports came from the united states north africa declared as cradle of mankind where did tho worlds first men live asks pearsons weekly a fa mous french explorer believes that north africa is the cradle ot roan and he has just led an expedition into the sahara desert to make excava tions that ho feels will prove his theory to be correct he hopes to find a large number of tools used by prehistoric man in the worlds early days part of the sahara was under water later it dried up and tribes of fierce cavemen lived there now it is one of our most barren tracts of land it is almost impossible to get water in this desert there are small oases in certain fertile areas and these are inhabited by groups ot natives but in the mlddlo of the desert you may go for many thousands of miles without finding ono drop of water few explorers dare penetrate into tho heart of the desert although great scientific discoveries would doubtless be made because ot tho terrible heat only a handful of no mads who have lived there since they were born can stand it in tho day the temperature is over one hundred degtees fahrenheit by night it has dropped below freezing point
