The wind whirred up, letting in a flood of hot, June sunlight from Jcr- myn ptreet. "Tea and letters, sir!" "Ri", Grayson!"

"Ah! just a momenti" He twinkled cheerfully at the puzzled interrogation of the girl's delicate eyebrows, and touched a little button Bet into th« table ledge. A bell buzzed faintly in the distance. "Jones," he call'Cd as the dcor open- ed. "Bring nie a morning paper." Valerie lapsed into roguish laugh- ter. "It sounds as if you were going to advertiss me, Mr. Winter!" Mr Winter, however, with corru- gated brow, was busy running a podgy finger ovei- the paper. Pricked by the curiosity ©â- Â£ Eve, Valerie came across to pear over his shoulder. The finger stopped halfway down the "agony" column. "Listen," said Mr. Winter, impres- sively, and read: " 'Gentleman, aged 27, unmarried, sentenced to death by his physician, sseks distraction. He is prepared to consider any adventure, danger or risk which will occupy his thoughts during the three months ren^a^ning to him.

"I hadn't thought of that. What about drugs, Graysonâ€" an easy path to A\'ernus in all conscience! No? Well, perhaps you're right. De Quineey and Poe between them made Grayw)n, stolid and prosaic, gaped, almost droppiag in his startled amaze- ment the trouser pretfl he was man- ipulating. "Very well, sir," he taid gravely, "a nasty mess it was!" Severance grinned. "Well, instead of depositing an in- significant chunk of iron in my calf, welcome though it was from a Blighty point (./ view, why didn't Providence finish me off, there and then, along with the oth-.T poor devils? Why â€" " He broki' off, grinning with fresh relish at his man's face. "But I was forgetting you haven't heard the bravo ncwf", Grayson?" "No, fir," Grayson's voice grew No? I thought not. If in future then I appear to view myâ€" er â€" approach- ing demise in a jocular light, rest aa- sured that it is the best way, since by it I keep both my self-respsct and yours. 'Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone.' Grayson. Take it from me â€" the old fossil who said that knew what he was talking about!" Under his master's mordant wit, Grayson stiffened like a ramrod and feverishly busied himself at the side- board. Severance resumed his break- fast and leisurely perusal of the Times' agony column. It was while butterinK a slice of toast that the great idea came. He thumped the table exultantly, eloctri fro.sty, and, having in his own mind j fying the frayed nerves of hi:; sorely arrived at a su:'c?ssful solution of the tried man. probl'-'ni that wa-s trouijiing him, he fixed his master with an accusing eye.

A large committee of the SenaAe, Bosird of Oovemors, elaff and students of the University of Toronto Is at work on preparations for the celebratton of tho University's one hundredth birth- day on October 6th, 7ih and 8ih of this year. In 1827 Kins George IV. granted a chaittr for the establishment of a uiilvorslty in what wEi then known as Upped Canada. The name was at first King's College, Init In 1850 was changed to the University of Toixinto. It should be note:! that the term "Toronto Unlveri^ity," which la some- times useJ, Is not at all correct. The real name, if one goes back to the Latin Inscription on the tablet in the first building and takes Into account the intesitions of the foundei-s, would be "Tho University of Ontario at Toronto." Now, in 1927, in the reign of George V. (another king of the same name as he who issued the charteir) the Pro- vincial University of Ontario is one hundred years old. A new and up-to- date history of the UnWersity is be- ing written. At the celebration the ancient charter will be read. To notify all living graduates and to Invite them to come to the centenary celebration will be no small task; as there are twe.nty-two tliousand of them scattered ail over the globe. Those who can do so will come ba<-k for a few days because, like one's home, one's university is regarded with a si)ecial sort of affection that never dies. / Cakes baked with Purity "Flour keep fresh for three or four days.

Immigration to Canada. Ottawa.â€" Immigration to Canada for the eleven months of the calendar year 1926, ended November 30, amounted to 130,569, according to a recent state meut Issued by the Department of Im- migration and Colonization. This Is an Increase of 61 per cent, over the same period of 1925, when the total immigration was 80,904. _ For tho month of November Immi- gration to Canada was 7,721, consist- ing of 2,471 British, 1,311 from United Statee, and 3,939 from other countries. The total Immigration in November, 1926, was 6,323. Canadians who bad gone to the United State« intending to make their permanent homes there and who re turned to Canada In November declar- ing their Intention of now remaining permanently In Canada amounted to 3,286. The total of such returned Can- adians since April 1, 1926, is 45,312. â€"f, â€" Premier's Job Loneliest In World, Says Baldwin The Prime Minister of Great Bri- tain has the loneliest Job in the world, Stanley Baldwin told the Unionist As- sociation of his constituency at Wor- cester. "I cannot share my ultimate re- sponsibilities," he said. "I am in the position of the captain of a ship on the bridge who has to look far ahead with much knowledge that i<s hidden I from th© crew. Whether I have done ' my work well or 111, time alone can be the iudge. The Prime Minister must pC'S3e!:>3 his soul in patience and must , harden himself acainst daily criticlsim. i "'It has been said of me that I am getting tired and rattled and even feeble. You may talo it that I an, that the Printe Minister is often tired I and that he may have been feeble, but that he was never rattl'ed." I After making these confessions to his constituents, Mr. Baldwin went on to defend the policy of the Conserva- , tlve government. Many persons, he I said, had accused him of not giving labor a square deal. He thought It a I far more serious thing that labor did not get a square deal from its own leaders. According to an olflcial announce- ment of the Department of Municipal Affairs of Saekachewan there are in that province at the present time 7 cUlcs, 80 towns, 367 vlUages, 301 rural municipalities and 4,698 school dis- tricts. j Not righteousnees by means of goT- ernmenf, but government by means of ' righteousness.â€" Archibald Robertson.
