CONCLUSION

At Arthur Warner's bungalow the

stood straight and tall against the

house, with their quaint, old-fashion-
ed rosettes in prim rows on the

stalks, crimson and cream and white. and in the midst of all her happiness

Arthur had planted them, but had
not seen the bloom. The walk from |
the house was bordered with round
clumps of dwarf nasturtiums, orange
and red, alternating with mounds of
sweet alyssum and candytuft, white
as snow, and at their feet in a straight
line, marking the edge of the grav-
e] path, ran a line of ground lobelia
as blue as the skies above.

On one side of the walk stood a
rockery of stones from the river,
which Helmi had whitewashed, and
from which now grew trailing nastur-
tiums, in all the shades from creamy
pink to scarlet and crimson, peeping
out from their glossy green leaves.
On the other side was a rustic bench
made gay with cushions, where one
could sit and think and dream,
watching the changing lights upop
the mountains. rf

! sore thought which

now for several months and Helmi|
feared that the shadow she had seen
upon his face the day she said good-
bye to him, had fallen. In her dredms
she had seen a luminous figure, all in
white, that had walked over to Ar-
thur and tapped him on shoulder;
and he nodded his willingness and

had fretted and cried all night and
would not be comforted.

But the boxes went every week,
for Helmi and the women knew that
some poor soldier would be happier
for them. 74

Of Jack she had not had a word,

and achievement there was the one
sometimes re-
quired all Helmi’s faith to drive
away. Jack's face, so sad and drawn.
drifting away from her on the slow-
ly moving train, fell across her hap-
piest hours. But Helmi had not for-
gotten the experience she had the
night of the storm, when her soul
was lifted high above the mists of
earth,

The hearts of the women were
knitted to Helmi’s because she had a
way of comforting them in their
troubles. There was strength in the
touch of her hand, and healing in
her presence

“Look what she’s done for me,’’ old
Sim would often say, “when I got
erippled for good and couldn’t do my
work in the mine any more.‘Come to
me, Sim,’ she said; I am all alone ex-

Here sat Helmi, thinking
dreaming, this Saturday afternoon

in late August. Her family had Mt)
and}

gone to Eagle Mines—Rosie
Danny Corbett who were spending
the holidays with her; old Sim and
young Lili, the latter now an enquir-
ing young lady of tw
years. The teacher, too, who boarded
at the bungalow had gone with them.

Twice a week Helmi sent to town
e load of vegetables and fresh fish
from the English River, and steadily
her savings in the bank were increas-
ing. It seemed a long time since she
had climbed into the old buckboard,
with Lili on her knee, Cleo close be-
side her, and the pups in a box be-
hind, and canvassed the neighbor-
hood to see where she could get a
cow “on terms to suit purchaser.” She
had been successful in her quest, and

brought the cow home with her; the|

terms being that she do the weekly
washing for the numerous and in-
creasing Peterson family, three miles
away.

Helmi thought of her neighbors
now with real affection. They had all
befriended her, and she was glad that
Arthur Warner had learned to know
them better. Helmi ha dtold them
quite frankly all she knew of him,
and when his letters came she made
mo secret of them, When she made |

for the soldiers, the women gladly
came, and a new spirit of friendli-|
ness came to the settlement.

{I need you Sim,’ she says, ‘for com-
' pany’—makin’ out I would be doin’
her a favor. Look what a home she
‘has given me.”

It was Helmi, too, who discovered
the seam of coal a little farther up
that
| burned with a blue flame and gave off
{more heat and burned longer than
/any other coal she had ever seen;
| and it was like her to tell, all the
\neighbors about it and urge them to
come and get all they wanted for
their winter’ fires.

The peace which comes to those
who work hard and have a clear con-
science was Helmi’s that afternoon
es she listened to the waterfall be-
j hind the house, and through her
, dreaming came the happy- conscious-
ness that her family would soon be
home hungry from town and she
ieonla need to go into the house and

get supper ready.

The valley before her was begin-
ning to show the purpling tints of)

| quickly around the turn of the hill,

Hight years have gone by. The

the Province, for the coal is a high-
grade anthracite. Unlike most mine
owners, the Dorans have not moved
to the city, but have a large gray
stucco house, with a red roof and|
many windows, on the bank of Eng-)

large grassy playground, enclosed by,

church there is a well appointed din-
ing-room, where the boys and girls’
clubs often meet for supper parties.
The bungalow is a club-house for
the miners and their’ wives, and on
the lawn there is a simple white stone
with an inscription which reads:—
“Sacred to the Memory
of
ARTHUR WARNER,
who made the first settlement in

this valley, and who loved - its
solitude and béauty.

In 1914
he answered the call of his
country:

On January 25th, 1917
while escaping from a German
prison camp, he deliberately gave
his own life to purchase freedom
for his companion, who now
erects this stone in the hope
that as long as grass grows in
the valley, and water runs in the
English River, the memory of
ARTHUR WARNER may not
fade.

New Serial Story
Commencing with next issue we

will offer our readers a new serial
story: “The Crimson West,” by Alex.
Philip. As might be imagined, the
story deals with life in Western Can-
ada, the plot being laid in British
Columbia. It is full of life and action,
and should have a particular appeal
to the lovers of out-doors and to
Western Canada readers generally.

Now, there is a danger peculiar to

antrum, separates the latter from the
