Dan stood gailng helplfssiy into Ihe lanpiiciiing eyes that smiled In- to hie. Gladys was shaking his hands DP and down and inviting hU admira- tion. Her patent satisfaction and hap- pint-Bs was a pathetic thing to Dan, as he tried to frame some sentence whi(.:i would effectually dissipate It. He knew Just what he ought to say, but the words stuck In his throat. Mow could lie say that he was not Gordon Westbury, but a stranger; Ihat Westbury iiad married an Aiis. trallan bride and had been false to the radiant, aJIectionale girl who confronted him? While Dan was Itruggling with his difficulty Bhe flung herself upon him again, hear- ing i!iim back Into an easy chair which trcakcd uniler the burden ol them. "Hold me tighter." she conimanili'd. did then her clinging lips met Dan'.s • gain. Dan was un orphan; and all <he affection he had ever known :n his life had bi.'cn the strong hand- rla.sp of some wanderer like hiniBelf, He alrno t swooned under the dem.in- â- Irallve fondness lavished upon him; but he Ihiillid to It at the same llmr. A hoarse cIiik kle from the doorway caiiseil Gladys to turn her Iwad, and »i rinit Dan a view of the Interrupter. "Hreak away!" chuckled a slout little woman, in a gay wrapper whose lined flabby face held a I'atr of roll- ing ilark eyi-s which proclaimed her relationship to Gladys. â- â€¢What do you want to conic bul- ling in for, nia?" Gladys asked cbeer- fully, at the sametkme rising to iier fert. Aba-hed beyond all precedent, Dan followed her example. And then Mrs. Clements came up<in iiJni, not with the suddenness of her daughter, but with inlenliong whlc!) were oh- »iou8 enough. Ahearty smack on each rbeek, and heartier hug, were be. Mowed upon hlin with the extremity of goodwill. C'lemeiiiB were an af- fectionate tamiiy, and not aohamed of showing it. ''Welcome to me future son.ln- law," wheezed the mother of Gladys. "I didn't kiss yer on the mouth be- cause I've got a 'orrid cold in me 'ead. What would you do, Gordon, for a 'orrid cold in the 'ead?" Dan would like to have recommend- ed a couple of aspirin, but was too bashful allll for specoh. "You go apd see to the pancjikes for lunch," Mrs. Clements command- ed. ''You've all your life before you for billlnj; and cooing." As Gladys blithely left the room to fulfil the Instruction, her mother said: "And you never set tooth in a bet- ter pancake than ray girl can toss. Fit to set before t.'ie V. of W. " The conversation which followed was complicated by Mr.;. Clements' addiction to the use of initials, ra. tber than names of any kind. Her daughter was G., so what was she to call her son-in-law, wihose name also began with G? Don gruffly remarked that most people shortened (Jordon to Don; and was Instantly Installed in the household as D. ''And let me tell you, D," Mr.?. f'lements confided, "1 am more than pleased to see you in nie drawing- room and to know that G. Is provid- ed f()r for life. 1 admit I was against her answering your letter, when It came to the house wrapped up in a package of Australian dried apricots. 'For', I says to (!., 'The man who wrote that letter may have written a score or a hiiiulred such. By this time lie may be writing to half a dozen girls In England. Knowing what 1 do of men, 1 wouldn't put It past him'." Dan drew a deep breath. Under, standing began to reach him through the haze of word f and strange events. He had first met Westerby when they were both working at a fruit can- ning and preserving factory at Mil- dura. The Irick of writing messages on li!ie paper wrappings of apples, or enclosing them In packages of dried fruit, was well known to him. Like the letters enclosed In bot- tles and cast Into the ocean, most <if these communications were lost and traceless; but here was one wijich bad borne abundant fruit. It was like Cordon Westerby, when the advent- ure became complicated by a later entanglement, to send away his part, ner's photograph as his own, and to leave the outcome to chance. â- 'Even when your letters came," Mrs. Clements went on, "I liad mo doubts. The first ease my poor mind got wa^ when I s;iw the photo. Kitty â€"that's mo youngest â€" K. she turned up her nose when G. showed us your phiz. But I put me foot down. 'Looks Isn't everything,' I sez. 'Behind that face I see a honest 'eart beating.' Was I right, D?" •'Oh, (julte, (lulte.'' Dan said mech- anically, echoing a fellow passenger on the boat, whose vocabulary was almost limited to that handy word. So Weiterby had never been to Eng- land in his life, and his picture of a hlg-eyed wistful girl waiting pa- tiently through the years boiled down to a venturesome reply to a letter addressed to the world of woman, kind in general. "Eats are /on the table,'' announced a shrill voice; and a long-legged girl In a short gym. dress, with saucer, like eyes, giggled convulsiveily at Dan. "This is K." announced Mrs. Cle- ments. Kitty had all the family character- Istics. She rushed at Dan and kissed him with lingering fondness. "Pleased to mee'cha, Gordon," she said. "Gosh; I'll crow over the girls at schooil tibis afternoon." The lunch began with fried soles and chips, and Dan, a homeless loon, whose diet was ruled by the standard of boarding-houses and cheap hotels, though ho had never tasted food like It. The pancakes were all that Mrs. Clements had promised; for this family had a taste for the good things of life, and the knack of obtaining them. Dan might have enjoyed the meal even more If Gladys, who sat next to him, had not Insisted on ex- pressing her affection by knee pres- sures and other disturbing and novel contacts.

Ifa/retf GILLETT'S LYE 111% Rogers Joins Bunch ! Of Old Joshers Some of Will Rogers' quaint thoughts are recalled from the pages of a book written by his old friend, the late C^harles M. Russell, Mon- tana cowboy artist. Russell died sev. eral years ago as he was about to \ complete the book, ''Trails Plowed I Under," a collection of reminiscences of the old west, illustrated by his own I paintings and drawings. The book was published last year. Rogers wrote the Introduction In the form of a letter to his old friend in t^e other world. It was done about nine years ago. With characteristic modesty Rog- ers disclaimed the ability to write an introduction. Continuing, tie said: "There aint much news here to tell you. You know the big Boss gent sent a hand over and got you so quick Charley. But 1 guess He needed a good man pretty bad. 1 hear they been working short hand- ed over there pretty much all the time, I guess Its hard for Him to get hold of good men, they are Just get- ting scarce everywhere . . .

I bet you hadn't been up there tiiree days until you bad cut your old pencil and was a drawing something funn; about some c(I their old punchers 1 bet you Mark Twain and old Bill Nye. and Whitcorab Riley and a whole bunch of those old Joshers was just a wait- ing for you to pop In witih all the latest ones, what kind of a bird Is Washington and Jefferson. I bet they are regular fellows when you meet 'em ain't they? Most big men are. "I would like to see the bunoh that is gathered around you tiie first time you tell the one about putting the limburger cheese In the old nestors whiskers. Don't tell that Charley un- til you get Lincoln around you, he would love tiat, I bet you and him kinder throw in together when jou get well acquainted, darn It when I get to thinking about all thent old top hands up there, If I could Just hold a horse wrangling Job with em, 1 wouldn't mind following that wagon myaelf. . . . "You will run onto me old dad up there Charley, for he was a real cow. hand and I bet he Is running a wag- on, and you will pop into some well kept ranch bouse over under some cool atoady trees and you will be ask. ed to have dinner, and it will be the best you ever had In your life, when you are a thanking the women folks, you Just tell the sweet looking little old lady that you knew her boy back on an outllt you used to rep for, and tell the daughters that you knew their brother, and If you see a cute little rascal running around there kiss him for me.

Planting Trees On Farms Observes the Brus-sels I'ot t. â€" There la a Perth County farmer who some years ago started planting trees in a ravine on his property. He said he knew It would never be possible to cultivate the land, and he wanted trees there for two purposes. 'rae first may seem simple â€" he liked trees â€" and then he was certain the bush would be a go<id place for pas- turing cattle in hot weather. Tho trees are such as are found in ordinary woodlot, but there are a number of spruce and pine as well. The spot today la a place of beauty. That is not all. Last Winter he took out eight cords of wood, and the stuff ho removed was surplus growth or broke nilown trees. lie says it looks better now that the eight cords of wood were removed. To look at the place today one would think trees had never been removed from it. It Is much easier to get young trees today than it used to be, and there are plenty (it farms where there is a piece of land which might well be put to growing trees. The people on the land today may not get the benefit, but the next genera- tion win. "Actors are expected to say things that are impressive.

Ten cowhides were used in mak- ing the uppers and over 481 lb. of leather the soles and heels of the biggest boot in the world.

Liver-Fed Trout Make Big Gains Seven Ounces Each In 11 Months From The Canadian As proof of what selective breed- ing and efllcient feeding methods can do iu hastening the growth of trout, consider the ca e of speckled trout lingeiiiags raised at the tisii hatchery operated by the Dominion Department of Fisheries at Autlgon- ish, N.S., where they reached in 11 months as great a weig'ht as three- year-old fish living under natural con- ditions anil foraging for themselves. There were 10 fiugerllngs iu llio lot that was studied and all of them were the progeny of selected parents. When first put on the scales Uhese fish babies weighed less than a pound, all told, or, to be exact, 15.2 ounces, but in slightly less than 11 months they had grown to weigh 700 ounces, which simple arithmetic shows to have meant an average ot seven ounces each. Other studies â€" tor Instance, re. search by fis«!ieries biologists in On- tario â€" have indicated that trout liv- ing wild take about two and one- half years to reach an average weight of seven ounces, though il must be kept in mind, of course, that bodies of water, like parcels of land, vary in their fertility and fts>h grow taster In some lakes and streams than iu others. The flngerlings handled In the An- tigonish test were not only the pro. duct of selective breeding but they were fed, ot course, In accordance with approved hatchery practice. For the most part, their diet consisted ol beef liver. In approximately the first month of the test their aggregate Fisheries Bulletin weight increased from 15.2 ounces to 50.5, or more than 230 per cent., and in the next three months there was a further gain of over 300 per cent., and total weight rose to 223 ounces. The next seven months brought the figures to 700 ounces. Fish raised at deparmental hat- cheries are used for stocking suitable wateis, angling waters in some cas- es and commercial tlahing areas In others. Anything which ci.n bo ac- complished toward Improving fish strains is, therefore, of a good deal of importance. It U for this reason that the department give.'j as mucih attention as may be feasible to ex-. perimenls in selective breeding.
