and I agree with the very timely word uttered by Miss Pennant that, if we can do such things in war, we can also do them in peace.

Peace has its sacrifices. Peace de- mands valor, peace demands devo- tion; and it will be an unutterable insanity if the lesson which this war has taught us of the possibilities of our people in unity, in sacrifice for a common end, in devotion to the cause of a common humanity, and

Indians are Doing Their Bit in the Great War

About 1,200 Are in Ranks of Cana- dian Expeditionary Force

That about 1,200 fwil-blooded In- ians have enlisted for overseas ser- vice since the war commenced, that one at least has received the Military Medal for bravery, that the various reserves have contributed upwards of

103,531 in 1915 to 105,561 in 1916,

It is stated by the report that near- ly one-half of the total strength of the 14th Battalion (Haldimand Rifles) has been recruited from the reserves of Eastern Ontario. There are 65 Indian members of the 52nd Ontario, commonly known as the “Bull Moose Battalion”; the Bruce Battalion has 65 Indians from Cape Croker reserve, where the total pop- ulation between 212 and 65 is only 108. Eighty Indians were recruited from remote regions of the Hudson Bay.

In all, about 1,200 Indians have en- listed. They are distributed by pro- vinces as follows: Ontario, 802; Que- bec, 101; Manitoba, 89; Saskatche- wan, 57; Prince Edward Island, 24; British Columbia, 17; Nova Scotia, 14; New Brunswick, 12; Alberta, 9, and Yukon, 2

Of this number eight are commis- . sioned officers, as follows: Capt. Geo, Smith, 4th Battalion; Capt. Ormond Picard, 12th Battalion; Capt. Charles Smith, 114th Battalion; Lieut. Cam- eron D. Brant, 4th Battalion (killed at Ypres); Lieutenants Milton Mar- tin, James D. Moses, John R. Steac- ey and C. A, Cooke, of the 114th Bat- talion.

New Consul for Japan

Considers Trade Openings Good Be- tween Canada and His Country

The new Japanese consul, Yasu- taro Numang, has arrived in Ottawa. He replaces Dr. Yada, who has gone to fill a diplomatic Saas for his country in New York.

Mr. Numano predicts that there will be closer trade relations between papas and Canada. The Japanese

ave been filled with admiration at the magnificent fight Canada has made. The fact that there is a Jap- anese detachment in the Canadian army was referred to. Japan is anx- ious to secure Canadian commodities such as fish, minerals, pulp wood and wheat. Japan in return has textiles, toys, silk goods and other commod- ities much needed in Canada,

A Friend of the Outcasts

Hogan Opened Flop to Give Hungry Men More Than Words

As a relief to the frequent platn- tive recital of political flops, one is delighted to read of another kind.

This is Hogan's “flop,” the word carrying with’ it the thought of throwing yourself with small prepar- atory measures on any place of rest that can be obtained. Ben Hogan, who established it in Chicago many years ago, is dead. But the “flop” remains. Outcasts can still find a bed at Hogan’s shelter for two cents la night payable strictly in advance— and soup to repletion at a price a shade below cost.

The fact that Hogan was a_ prize fighter before his conversion may have had something to do’ with his methods afterward. Prize fighters are not without acquaintances with battered humanity. In fact, if the blows are received in fair fight, even a knockout becomes _ honorable, Moreover, men of his following deal with individuals rather than with theories.

Consequently, when Hogan was converted, he went after men, Theo- logy may have lost an able dissec- tor, but the down-and-outers gained,

High prices will reign for 15 years is the opinion formed by the Farm Mortgage Bankers’ Association at Memphis, Tenn. Professor Sprague of Harvard University, said that into the two past years have been crowd- ed the advances in prices of material ‘and finished products which normally would have taken 10 to 15 years for realization, ence his fear that pri- ces would first attain a higher figure aad remain there for the period hint- ed at.

What Is Uric Acid ?

'YHE CAUSE OF BACKACHE, RHEUMATISM, GRAVEL AND SUDDEN DEATH.

Ever since the discovery of uric acid in the blood + Scheele, in 1775, and the bad effect it had upon the body, scientists and physicians have ‘striven to rid the tissues and the blood of this ison. Because of its over- abundance in the system it causes backache, pains here and theré, rheu- matism, gout, gravel, neuralgia and sciatica, it was Dr. Pierce who dis- covered a new agent, called “ Anuric,” which will throw out and completely eradivaté this uric acid from the sys- tem. “Anuric” has prove to be 37 times more potent than (ithia, and consequently you need no longer fear muscular or articular rheumatism or

at, or many other diseases which are

ependent on an accumulation of uric acid within the body. Send to Dr. Pierce, of the Invalids’ Hotel and, Sur- gical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., fora amphiet on “Anaric,” or send 10 cents kr a trial package of “ Anuric Tablets.”

If you feel that tired, worn-out feeling, backache, neuralgia, or if your sleep jis disturbed by too frequent arination, go to your best drug store and ask for Dr. Merce’s Anuric Tablets. They are put up in 50-cent packages.

Doctor Pierce’s reputation is back of this medicine and you know that his “Golden Medical Discovery” for the blood and his “Favorite Prescription” for the ills ot women bave had a splen- did reputation for the past fifty years.

When Lord Eastling got back to Oare Court, after having sent off’ the parcel of stones from the post office, he found Lady Ursula in a different mood from that in which he had left her. When he went away she was feverish, excited, madly anxious to

She raised her head, 3

“No, he was not that, Tom. ‘His real name is Alban Creslow, and he is the son of that white-haired Lady Creslow who was here for the great meeting.”

“What?”

“Yes,”

Lord Eagtling walked up and down the room thoughtfully. The discov- ery made a difference, It is one thing to believe that your sister is married to an adventurer of unknown extrac- tion, and another to discover that, after all, the man in question has good blood in his veins and comes of a family of eqaal rank with one’s own, This explained the good breed- ing which was a tonspicuous charm in the peccant Pau,

“I'm most awfully glad of this for one thing,” he said at last; “It will make a little easier that awful task of breaking the news to them at home,” ~

“How?”

“If they believe that Paul is only a gentleman gone ‘off the rails,’ they will take it less hardly than if he had been just an adventurer from good- ness knows where.”

“Yes, I suppose so. go back, Tom?”

“Tomorrow morning. The sooner we get away from here the better, to give an opportunity for the gossip to die down.”

, She flashed) upon him an angry ook, “What business? I do not know what you mean,” said she.

“Oh, yes, you do, I don’t want to force your confidence, or anything of that sort. But I may tell he! I'm heartily sorry for Payne, although I do think he’s been a bit of a wrong ‘un.” :

Lady Emmeline gasped,

“How. dare you?” cried she.

“Well, ‘what’s the use pretending not to know that he’s gone away without saying good-bye to his wife? It’s silly to pretend not to notice, es- pecially when one is crazily anxious to help to patch things up,”

She gdve up pretending, suddenly.

“They'll never be patched up,” she said sadly.

“Why not? Is Lady Ursula so un- forgiving? I shouldn’t have thought it of her.”

“It isn’t that. There’s so much to be considered. He's sworn what wasn’t true, and how can she trust him again?”

“It all depends, doesn’t it, on the position he was in when he had to swear? I don’t want to defend Payne. I think he’s done some very queer things, But if ever I saw a man | ashamed of himself and sorry, and | susceptible to every softer emotion that can move a man, it was your brother-in-law at luncheon today.”

Lady Emmeline gulped back a sob.

“It's broken her Geart,” she said.

“That’s the worst of marriage,” be- gan Hugo.

She rose from her chair.

She rose with her full of alarm.

“Tom, what do they thiak? do they say?”

“Well, they think—and I'm encour-

aging them in the thought with all

“If you're going to talk nonsense, now——” she said haughtily.

“I’m not,” said Hugo gently. “I’m going to talk the soundest sense as ever was. I was going to say that marriage widens the target, so that

my might—that it’s been found out

that it was Paul who took Mrs, Finchden’s pearls, and gave them back again. Whether they believe

that it was only a joke or not, I

hardly know, and I don’t much care,

But the legend is as good as it could be for our purposes, for it stops any farther search into the reason of his disappearance.” “Disappearance! Oh, Paul!” There was a heart-broken ring in her voice. Lord Eastling stopped short in front of her impatiently. “Well wasn’t it what you wanted? You drove him away. There was no- thing else to be done.” She was shaking trom head to foot. “I've begun to think,” she said hoarsely, “that. I was wrong. I’ve been too hard, Tom. But it all came me so suddenly that I hadn't time to think, or to be generous, or

even just.” -

“HHush, hush, how dare you say that?”

Her eyes were flashing.

“Well, what name do you give to his performances?” demanded Lord Eastling doggedly.

She hesitated.

“I can see,” she said in a lower,

and on their way to the hands of the Police.

Now, however, that mood was passed, and she was sitting by the window in a crouching attitude, her

lidded, her manner listless and with- out life.

She turned her head as he came in, and put out her hand to him.

“He's gone,” she whispered in a tone of the most abject wretched-

‘face bag her eyes dull and heavy-

ness.

“Well, dear, what else was there for him to do?”

She hesitated.

“Nothing, I suppose,” she said. Then, after a pause: “Tom, I've been hard. But could I help myself?”

“No, of course not. He sees that as well as we do. When once you

he gave him a piteous look and shook her bead.

“Forget him! I can’t do that.”

“Well, anyhow, it was out of the question that you should keep in with a husband who appears only to have married you in order to be able to get into houses to rob them.”

She uttered a cry of agony, and put out her hand to check his angry words,

“No, no; you mustn't say that. not true,”

“Well, it looks like it.”

“I don’t believe that; I can’t, I saying good-bye to his wife. — won't. ‘He didn’t care for me as For that piece of information was much as I cared. for him, but oh, too interesting not to nave become

“Well, he’s found one now,” said Tom shortly. “We've found it for him.”

“Did he know you were sending the stones away?” :

“Yes. He took the parcel out of my hand.”

“He took it?”

“And he gave it me back again.”

Her face brightened.

“He made no objection to your sending them away?”

“No, none.”

She gave a sigh of relief, and then said. “[ watched him go, Tom, from behind the curtain. I—I—I couldn't have let him go—if only I'd been downstairs!”

“T don’t know.”

“You didn’t ask?” she cried reprov- ingly.

“No, and I didn’t care.”

“Tom, Tom, you are too hard.”

“Tt's just as well that we shouldn't all be too soft,” said Tom drily as he went out of the room.

As Lord Eastling had said, the ru- mor was rife that it was Paul Payne who had been discovered to be the author of the pearls, and there had been much discussion about it, which naturally increased as the day went on, and Lady Ursula kept her room and Paul Payne went away without

“Ye-es, I suppose so.”

“I dare say, after this, you will be less inclined to marry yourself, won't you?” he suggested diffidently,

» For answer she shot at him a look of suppressed indignation.

“Much less inclined,” said she with emphasis, as she walked over to Mrs, Jackson at the tea-table.

A few minutes after three o’clock Wootton stepped upon the platform at Atterworthy, nearest railway point to Wolvercombe. At the station gate stands the Vicar, to whonit he had telegraphed from Liverpool. Along the lanes of the high banks prance the horses; presently the lodge gates of the Manor are seen, At the door of the lodge a father and mother await their son, the Vicar having in- formed them of Herbert's arrival in England that morning. With the as- sistance of Mrs, Wootton, the father has walked from the Manor House; a curtain must be drawn across the scene which ensued as the carriage appeared in sight.

On the rugged coast of Devon stands a certain Manor House. This is known as Wolvercombe, It is verily one of the ancestral homes of England Mrs. Hemans has so beauti- fully portrayed. The mansion is sit- uated amidst oak trees which have weathered winter’s storms decades ere William the Conqueror defeated Harold at the Battle of Hastings, The picture gallery at Wolvercombe contains paintings of Woottons who |have played a prominent part in the political and naval dramas of Brit- lain. Within the pages of Charles Kingsley’s “Westward Ho” we may read of Wolvercombe village with its small stream meandering in front of the whitewashed cottages; allusion is likewise made to the ancient church by various writers of poetry and ro- mance.

Christmas Day, 189—. A flurry of snow has swept over the countryside, At the Manor House are assembled a large party of guests; it is tradi- tional at Wolvercombe to celebrate Yuleide after the fashion of long years since.
