Nevertheless endowed by nature with the qualities that make social success, should find no fascination in the thought of a fashionable life, and I expressed myself to that effect. Dolly, gracefuily loiling in the stern of the boat colored vividly and adjusted her skirts with elaborate care before she answered. "Well, you see, I was not trained to care. A life in the country with dear old granddad does not tend to things frivolous. Perhaps I should see things differently if he had not needed me when 1 left school. Then I felt a wee bit cheated, l‘ll admit. Now it doesn‘t seem to matterâ€"I wust be getting old." "As old as Methuselah," I agreed batteringly. But the pathos in the girl‘s last words troubled me. Again her voice was full of unshed tears, and her eyes, as she lifted them to gaze across the water took on an exâ€" pression of melancholy that I had noticed in the train. Yes, assuredly, her young life had seen trouble, and the wound it had made, while hidâ€" den from the world, still stung at times.

To my surprise, however, Dolly leaned forward and looked directly into my eyes with a grave, unwaverâ€" ing glance. _ _ "I would give everything I have,in the world Mr. Bliss, to know who killed Mr. Somhers," she said with a quiet vehemence that startled me. "‘You know that it was not Harry Milbrath ?" "Or done with his knowledge," persisted Dolly. "Or done with his knowledge." Dolly‘s eyes suddenly glistened with the moisture of unshed tears, and, in spite of a brave effort to smile, she had to turn away for a moment.

"Yes," I answered, realizing that she must know why I was in Winâ€" tun, "that possibility has been one o‘ my theories, but 1 can find no moâ€" tive strong enough. Mr. Milbrath seems to have had no enemies up to the time of the tragedy." ‘‘Then you do not know of Jim "Mr. Bliss," she said, "has it occurâ€" red to you that the criminal‘s motive wes to injure Harry?" "He was," said Dolly with convieâ€" tion, and her cheeks became very pink, ‘"and he is.

Now that he has convicted Harry to a living death he is not content. He dares to sneer at him and to say that he sees him sneaking around here at times." * "And in that he lies?" 1 asked eagerly.

One of the drivers climbed out in a fit of temper and strode up to a man standing on the sidewalk, thinking him to be the other driver. I thought that I understood.

ARTHUR FOSTER, To travel across Africa by motor car from Lagos to the borders of Abyssinia is a feat that has been acâ€" complished by few people, even in these days of modern travel. One of the few is Rev. R. V. Bingham, well known throughout ‘Canada as General Director of the Sudan Inâ€" terior ~Mission and President of Evangelical Pulishers, Toronto and the Canadian Keswick Conference, Ferndale, Muskoka. Mr. Bingham left Toronto last October. A car awaited him at Lagos, and in this he made his re markable journey through the heart cf what was formerly known as "the dark continent", but which is now bridged and roaded for hundreds of miles and in a few years will be as safe for motorists a« the roads of Onâ€" tario are todayâ€"safer, perhaps, as there is no need yet for traffic policemen in Central Africa. Mr. Bingham is now on his way‘ back to Canada. After spending a short time at Mission headquarters, 366 Bay street, Toronto, he will leave for Ferndale, Muskoka, to tell his interesting story to guests at the Canadian Keswick Conference, which meets between July 6 and August 24.
