There wtre wakeful hours before Kve Gilchri.st, w-hcn she reth-ed to the spotless little room in the eottage â- whe.-e she lodReJ that iiiKlit a' Shere. She was a girl with plenty of cuiir- aga and a Kreat eoiitenipt for any form of deception or .shirking of t'he truth. Self-deception she aceounted tho deadliest prcleuee of all; and now Bh'* facel the situation which lia<l risen between herself and Dan Pres- c»t witii a elear mind. She had given him her loVe; and that was a gift which she could not retract until she had proved Jiiin ut- terly unworthy. She had donf more, gho had emouraned him, as she nev- er thouR'.it to eiicouraEe any man alive. She had planned to be alone with him; the indu.sion of another girl In the walking party was a purP Action from the begiiiniiig. Eve was tiulte clear about her coii- duol. Siiie had to deal with a man unusually modest and una.ssuming, who had clearly set her down upon a pedestal In his own imagination. She had done her best to step down from that inconvenient height, and to In- dicate a briilgo over the gap which teparated them. Was it still humility tliut prevent- ed Dan from responding as she had Intended? If that were so, she could go no further. She would have to leavo him in that lowlier place from which he had not the courage ami enterprise to climb. And if that wer^ •o, she need have no regret, and no »'iame either. Hut the allernative was more dis- turbing, and hurtful to her pride and delicacy. Her in.siinct told her that It was not Dan's humility which had driven him from iter side, in misery and silence. The .shadow of some third person stalked between them at what might have ben the sweeteHt moment of her life. It was a possibility W'!ii(li had to bo faced, and to be provided ;or. There was comfort in it as well. If eho had given her love to a man unworthy of It, the experience of the (jv'iilni; would not have been hers.

Tlicie was at least the consolation that Dan had acted as a' man of scnipU' and honour, even suppo.sing that he were eiilaiigled with some woman on I'le other Hide J of the world. Hut Evo felt that she must know the truth whatever it might be. If anybody had the rig''.it to object to ' their close association, then Dau had told her a deliberate lie, and that sjie could not believe. His conduct made the a.'-sumption an iticiedible 0110 to her. Dan was iiainpercd by . some fantastic notion, and nothing, else, and she would discover what it was and tear it to rags. Having arrived at this satisfactory | conclusion, Kve, who was a healthy and saturated with fresh air and ex- ercise, fell comfortably to sleep. Not so Dan. He raged at iiimseif and at Westerby, tos.^ing miserably throughout the night. Kvery minute he had spent with Gladys Clements accused him. How could he over con- fess his folly to a girl like Eve, or make her understand the weak gooil nature which had prolonged it, through two whole days? He would see the solicitor as soon as he reacuied the office on Monday. He must have a clearance of some kind, whatever it might cost. Hut the | very payraenl of money would be a thing unforgivable in Eve's sight. How could lie even face her on the morrow, after what had occurred? He found the meeting easier and more cheering than he had iiiilicipat- ed could be possible. "Hullo, Dan!" said live, looking fresh as paint. "Thanks a lot for put- ting on the brakes last night, w-hen those birds made me feel sloppy. | Some men would have spoiled the i rest of the picture by gelling ema- 1 tional, yon know; and I should have 1 had myself to blame." | Dan look llie hand which she held out to him in silence. | "A long hike today." Kve went on j briskly. '"And no nLghtingale^;. I [ never knew Ihey were so Infectious." j 'Thanks, Eve," Dan muttered. "It's , like you to talk that way. I'll not fo". | They walked through I'easlake and ^ tihiough pinewoods to the summit of ; I'itcli Hill, where a ureal stretch of country expanded before their eyes. \ Dan could even see, fhroiiKli Shoi e- hnan Gap, the glint of the sunlig^'il on the f'haiiiiel. i "You must have wonderful eyes," i said Kve. ''I could just see that I through glasses on n clear (l;iy when I was Jiere." They kept on lh(> liinh groiiiKl uil.h I.eith Hill and Friday Street as their ', objective. Eve talked about herself, ' and the awful jobs she 4iad held, before chance threw her Into touch with Medlicntt. She made little con- 1 lldeiices; and Dan was drawn In re.' Illy in kind. The girl's ears were wide ' ripen for some hint of a He In Au- : Iralia, but noI'Ming of the kind was dropped. ' Dan's life (lui there seemed like. ;in open book. On tho pages of It were written records <if hard work, of una.«siiniiiig effort and even hero- ism.

No, not that Indufitrial and economic depres- sion about whioh it was so popular to talk, but of which we are not hearing quite so much, perhaps, to- day. That may be a good sign for many ot" us. Let us be thankful. My friend seems to be suffering from that sort of depression which settles upon everybody at some time or other. The dilTerence between him and some other people is just that the others are able to rise above it, hut he allows it to overcnmo him. "I am naturally an optimi.<5l", he writes. "A bachelor in middle lite, and I have held my present position for eighteen years. My salary has always enabled me lo live in a modicum of comfoit. I never t'hough. tho sun would darken in my sky. But it has. Two years ago my mother died and since her going I have been con- scious ot an unutterable loneliness. I have kept on the old home. I go to business daily and return home and despite the entreaties of my friends, I feel I cannot drag myself out to a show or a party. All tiie old zest has gone. Nothing but that awful feeling of depression. It is with me coiL^tantly. I take it to bed with me and It gets up with me in the morning. Is there anything I can do to get rid of It and to regain my former ciieerful spirit?" .Mtogether It Is a sad lettter. Rut I think this poor fellow is taking an entirely wrong view of life. Is it the attitude that his deceased niothei", to whom he seems to have been passionately devoted, would wish him to take? I can hardly think so. I think If he puts that question to himself he will see that he is acting in a wrong way. But I have only quoted pait of his letter. There are traces in his letter which would lead one to believe that, subconsciously, lie himself feels that he is acting foolishly. It is not enough to know t'liat one's views of life is wrong, however, one has to know how to correct It. And the ter. rihle thing about one of those fits of depression Is, that once a fellow has allowed it to get a hold on hiin It has the iieculiar power of perpetuating itself until the victim feels that there is simply no way nf escape, and he mighl just as well be dead. Itut there Is a way of escape. It lies within the Individual. A man caut-ht in the grip of such a fit of depression must be his own doctor. Things may appear to be gloomy, bill there are never really as bad as they seem. Winter is a dull sea.=on. Everything is dead. No trees in leaf; no flowers in hlnom; no singing birds â€" ft dull, dieaiy. dead season. But It Is fol- lowed by spring with It quickened and renewed life And life Is some- times like that! I think my friend wanis to take a firmer grip on himself. The death of his mother was probably a shock to him that had pliysi'al effects. His vilallly may lie low. and that lowered vitality may have had a read ion up- on his spirits. Ho should not keep himself so much to himself. He slioulil get out among h^s friends, lie should try to sec th( brighter side of life, llc! should lomember that there is a work for him to do In the world quite apart from his aqjual callinp; or profession. And the greatest work that anyone can do Is to cheer an- other Roiil and bring haiipiness to someone who does not know It. In the companionship of one iiium whom •he can bestow hh alTeciion, and In whose inle.ost and for whoso well, being he can lose himself in d^vo. tioii and .'service, this man m;iy fi'"' the sure cure for his fits of depies- hIoii. And. for the sake of oil "rs who may from tipie to lime be seized by similar tlt.t of dep'.cssion, penhaps I oiighl to add that the best way tn overcome them Is to forget self In unselfish thought for others. It is always true that "He that will save I'lis life shall lose it, but he that Is willing to lose his life shall always llml lite". • * * NOTE: The writer of this column is a Uained psyohologiat and an au. thor of several works.

LONDON.â€" Great Britain is mak- ing almost a.s much fuss over its "quads" â€" quadruplets born to Mrs. Walter Edward Miles, wife of a truck driver in St. Ncot.s, Hunting- donshireâ€"as Canada did over its cel- ebrated Dionne "quints." It is costing $75 a day to main- tain the three boys â€" and one girl who were born to Mrs. Miles on Nov. 28. Four nurses from a Lon- don hospital, working in relays, are in constant attendance on the "quads," who were moved over tho week-end from St. Neots Council House, where they were born, to the home of Dr. Ernest Ifarrisson. Harrisson attended at the birth. The transfer was effected two at a time on cots in a specially-heated car. Their room at the doctor's house has been transformed into a giant incubator. Every precaution is being taken to Hi Serve the Best Tea SALAM TEA safeguard them from germs. The room was cleared of ornaments and unnecessary furniture. Persons ap- pwaching the tiny, white enamelled cots must wear masks. Human milk obtained from a London hospital is fed to the infants twice daily. Their father drives to London and back, a 200-mile trip, daily for this milk. Mrs. J. F. Crossley, daughter of Dr. Harrisson, is a licensed pilot and has volunteered to fly to Lon- don for the milk in case any diffi- culty occurs in making the road trip. i The Book Shelf BY MAIR M. .MORGAN 'iiiiiia»i;:l!ii!:aniiiB:|ii:a!ii!iBiiaii:<Bi!;i;B!ii;Bii:iiaiiii!l "WHO SAID MURDER" by Charl- es W. Bell, K.C., (.Macmillan's, To- ronto) is a good, fat volume of crime in Ontario. "I have never de- fended a murderer in my life," blandly stated C. W. Bell, K.C., when asked by a reporter how he planned his defence of a murder. The state- ment is legally true of course, for the twenty-one persons charged with murder and defended by Mr. Bell all were acquitted. So of course they wore not murderers. But one feels that many of these persons would not be as fortunate in their present classification and status if they 'lad been defended by less able counsel than Mr. Bell, who has reviewed a number of the important recent cases in his book. Newspaper- men of the province have long re- cognized that when Charlie Bell wa"; mixed up in a criminal case spect- acular copy was sure to break. How- ever, Mr. Bell has allowed little glam- our to creep into his book. It's in- tense interest lies in the drama of the cases themselves, told clearly and unaffectedly and flavored only with the humane irony of the writer. In only two of these cases does Mr. Bell appear in his popular role, de- fending a person charged with niurd- i T. Peter Bunce, his first client was saved from the gallows by a real Marshall Hall touch and twelve little froggics that did not die. The other is the recent famous Niagara murder case in which Mr. 'lell dcfeiuled Elliott and Gastle charged with the murder of Mrs. Hisley. On interesting view of the other side of the picture is found in th" stories of the two other ca.ses where Mr. Bell acted for the crown. He gives an unforgettable picture of that piece of rural ghastliness, the murder of Leo Bergeron by Lavic- toire and Larocque in Renfrew County and the sordid drama. Dr. Pratt of Smiths Falls, the murder of Eve Mc- Lean and the uncovering of the Ont- ario abortion ring. A clearly organized and graphic account is given of the Dorland case, and the comic opera atmosphere of the Labatt kidnapping would be laughable if a man who is widely be- lieved to be innocent was not still serving a fiftoen-year ssntence in Kingston. Mr. Bell recites the whole history of the amazing case. Besides his record in criminal pleading and his political rc.'ord of three times member of parliament, Mr. Bell has to his credit the author- ship and direction of many succcss- fu"i popular plays, including "Parlour, Bedroom and Bath." "A Dangerous Maid," "Paradise .Mley" and other New York successes. * • * iiiiiaii:iiaii;iiBiiiiiBi;;:iBiii! liBlii'l THORNTON" by D'Arcy Marsh. (Macmillan's, Toronto) offers an in- tense, weli-written study of a mag- netic, genial, capable man pitting his personality and capabilities against; the steel of Canada's two railways Mr. Marsh gives unforgettable sketcli- es of the various personalities in- volved during the mineteen-twenties in the destines of these two great transportation systems. * • * "ASYLUM" by William Seabrook (Geo. J. McLeod, Ltd., Toronto) is an amazing chronicle of the author's experiences in an asylum, where he demanded he be placed so that he would not be able to satisfy hi.s craving for alcoholic stimulant. The narrative offers a candid picture of the daily life in the institution, tho treatments of various cases â€" person- ality studies of the staff and patient.5. Part of the book was written while undergoing treatment. It is an ex- traordinary document and dispells many delusions the public have con- cerning institutions of this nature. "The Magic Island" by this author offered a colorful, strange adventure in Haiti, and "Asylum" is another island with characters no less color- ful and unpremeditated. * * * "FACING TWO WAYS" by Baroness Ishimoto (Oxford Press, Toronto) illustrated with photo- graphs. Shidzue Ishimoto was born in .Tapan during its transition from feudalism to modernism. Her child- hood was that of the age-old aristo- cracy of the nation, while her father went lo his office each day in cutaway and bowler hat. .Accompanied by maids and rikisha men, with the family coat-of-arms embroidered on her silk school uniform, she attended the Peeresses' School under the per- sonal supervision of the Empress. Married to Baron Ishimoto ir. feudal style, the young wife was plunged into the terrible squalor of the coal regions where her husband was a junior engineer. The danger and poverty which they shared with the other miners awoke her to Jap- an's great social problems, particu- larly to the anomalous position of Japanese women. She became a fem- inist, struggling for universal suf- frage, for birth control, and to raise the bondage which even today holds women of Japan in the legal and social category of servants. The story she tells is very human and personal. It is full of humor, vivid description and understanding. lOI The First 25 Years Are The Hardest Says Pathologist Amherst, Mass. â€" It takes a woman 25 year;; practice to steer an auto- mobile as well as the average man, a professor of psychology at Massa- chusetts State College said last week. Dr. Han-y R. Desilva said a series of tests disclosed that after the riuarter-ccntury of experience, wo- men con.^tantly improve, while men who have driven that length of time or longer do little better than begin- i ners. ! Dr. Desilva based his conclusions,! he said, on tests given 2,500 per-' sons.
