Tile sunlight splashed tbroiiKh tiiio young leaves upon thuu), Iho wild flowers lay crui^hed on her lap. En- couraged by tilie silence a mating liuch trilled from a branch near by, and a black biid fluted richly from the edge of the copse.

It was late in the afternoon that : followed a day of aimless hanging t about in Meuston that Adam be- ; thought him of the man Hagar. Vaguely, he as.soclated Scylla's disappearance with Montada, and , Hagar had invited him to apply for ; help if ever I'le were in trouble ! with Montada. Accordingly he made his way down Hayne Street ' and turned Into the network of foul littlo streets iunong which the Ha- ' gars kept t.'ieir "nice Utile home." ! (To be Continued.)

His novels have had a wide circulation in the Dominion. The fact is noted that this is the first occasion a commoner has been named as vice-regal rep- resentative in Canada, but before the landing on Canadian soil of the new Rideau Hall host he may be ^iven a title, titles being bestowed quite frequently in Britain. But whether as plain John Buchan or as Lord So-and-so, there will be a Wf!come for the new governor. His novels teem with stories of the Scottish Highlands, of deer and of fish, especially the salmon. Of highlands and lowlands he will find no end in Canada, while we have deer of various kinds and our fish are wonderful, also of wide variety. Mr. Buchan has been in the Domin- ion before, and looking over it as he would with a critical eye he could not fail to accept with readiness an offer of residence for a term at Rideau Hall. There are those who would fain see a Canadian made governor-gen> era], but not many native sons are prepared to put up the necessary money. It is true that the office carries with it a salary of $60,000 a year but expenditures run beyond that. There is a social status to' b« maintained which runs away with cash at a rapid rate. Moreover the appointment of a Canadian would be severing another link with the Mother Country. In addition to this a governor is governor in name only. His powers are defined and limited. Renfrew county has had citizens of the name of Buchan. Also it has known the Buchanans. The name is not a common one here, but if one may judge from John Buchan the Buchans are people cast in no or- dinary mould. 25 MilUon Nails Used In 70 Years Gananoque. â€" This town boasts the oldest working shoemaker in On- tario.

IJpilf^ I have often been asked of what practical value is it to any one to have their handwriting analysed'.' Well, the more we know of our- selves, our Innermost natures, the greater -will bo our understanding of ourselves, (|Ualities, characteristics, talents. And the more we under- stand ourselves the greater our op- portunity of getting on in the world, the better able we are to make friends and keep them. In other woid.i, to be happy, popular and suc- cessful. Are you happy'/ â€" or are you continually frowning, with a con- stant chijj on your shoulders? Are you progresing in your work? â€" or are you dissatisfied; a square peg in a round hole; unahle to make any real progress in the work you are doing, yet not knowing what to do to effect a change for tlie better? If you are married, are you con- tented? â€" or is disijuiet and unhnp- pine.ss creeping in, with perpetual bickering between yourself and your wife or husband. Do you make friends and keep them? â€" or are you living tho life of an involuntary recluse, unable to enjoy the society and companionship of real friends? Are you self-confident? â€" or are you diffident and bashful, restrain- ed from realising yoiir:ielf to tho full because of inner tjualms ami self- consciousness? If you go tluou.ch life without knowing and under-standing yourseli â€" yOjur faults anil your virtues; your ffierits and your weaknesses of character and disposition â€" you will be seriously handicapped. Graphology helps you to know yoiir.-ielf, to the end that you will seize on your stron|h p>ints and make the most of them ; and shows you the way to overcome the weak traits, so that you will not be handi- capped in the race for happiness and success. Handwriting is not merely a mat- ter of puting your pen to paper. Vou have to use your brain in order KterH^theHabitof Qeanleeth Snukoii luirnMhh JMaMTAl to write. And becauso the brain is the captain of your hody, every- thing that you do emanates first from your brain. Handwriting is merely the physical e.vpression of the brain impulseos. Whatever you are and what you nilKht be it you make the fullest use of your <'8pa- bilities, are expressed in your writ- ing. A character analysis from your handwriting will not, of itself, cf- oct a changw u\ you, but it WILL show you wherein you need to strengthen yourself, and what traits you have but are not building to the full. And knowledge is the forerun- ner of action. Would YOU like to hav>: your character analysed from your hand- writing? Have you any friends whose characters you would like to know?

An unusual reception held in Lon- don was participated in by the Duke and Duchess of York. It was a soiree {riven in the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square by the trus- tees to members of the National Art Collections Fund to mark the com- pletion of the artificial lighting of the famous gallery, and was the first evening function ever held there. It lasted until midnight. The Duke and Duchess and 3,000 famous men and women followed each other into the redecorated Flor- entine Room unannounced. Sir Philip Sassoon and Sir Robert Witt, the hosts, shook hands with their guests in turn, while at the entrance an attendant murmured "Keep to the left if you don't want to shake hands; to the right if you do." Guests were warned not to bring their cars because of the difficulty of parking. There were no refresh- ments of any kind. The artificial lighting of the gal- leries, which has been designed to allow them to remain open later in the winter evenings, and perhaps at night, was voted a success by cvery- profit was $152,000 and that of th«' Nova Scotian was $9,500. To date, said Mr. Fullerton, $8,544 000 had been spent on the unfinished C.N.R. hotel at Vancouver.
