Still in silence they approached
the house, its dim grey bulk, loom-
ing indeterminately through the eve-

with a glowing shield of orange from
some unshaded window, and almost
before Tormarin had pulled up the
car, the front door flew open and a
whit: riband of light streamed out
from the hall behind.

Jean was coscious of two or three
figures grouped in the open doorway,
dark against the welcoming blaze of
light, then one of them detached it-
self from the group and hastened for-
ward with outstretched hands.

“Here you are at last!”

In the fuller light of the hall, Jean
discerned in Lady Anne's appearance
something of that same quality of

alertly vivacious, and the quite white

“The Curse Of Scotland”

Few Card Players Know Why Nine
Of Diamonds So Called
| Amongst card players the nine of
| diamonds is known as the Curse of
Scotland; but if you were to ask a
| hundred of them why this is so it is
| probable that not one could tell you,
| says an article in Tit-Bits. All sorts
of queer reasons have been given. It
lis said, for example, that the Duke
lof Cumberland, who was playing
|cards at the time, wrote the order
‘for the massacre of Glencoe on a
card which happened to be the nine
of diamonds. The real reason is
curious and inter ng. A Scotsman,
Jonn Dalrymple, Earl of Stair, was

just the right note in conjunction
with the wa th y of
Chippendale. From the bedroom,

where a maid was already busying
herself unstrapping the traveller's
manifold boxes, there opened off a
white-tiled bathroom frankly and hy-

The atmosphere at dinner was
charmingly informal, and presently,
when the meal was at an end, the

party of four adjourned into the hall

for coffee. As Jean's eyes roved
round the old-fashioned, raftered
place, she was conscious of a little
intimate thrill of pleasure. With its

walls panelled in Jacobean oak, and

Veteran Purser Will Travel

Wants To See Something Besides
Ports On Pacific

“Travel and see the world,” that’s
what Ernest Syder, veteran purser of
the Canadian Pacific's newest and big-
gest Pacific liner, the “Empress of
Japan,” intends to do when he retires
January 1, after 37 years at sea, Not
that he hasn't seen something of tho
world. In 31 years with the “White
Empress" ficet, it is estimated he has
in about 217 round trips between
Vancouver and Manila Bay.

Nearly 62 years of age, the vet~
eran purser who has rubbed elbows
with the King and Queen of Siam
and other royal personages during
his long career, is looking forward
to a real “busman's holiday’ next
year. “I suppose I’ve seen practic-
ally everything on the Pacific,” he
said, “but there are other parts of
the world to visit and I hope to get
to most of them.”

Armed with a moyie camera — A
hobby for many years—he intends to
invade Australia, Africa and Europe,
pushing his way leisurely around the
globe.

Born in Cheshire, England, Ernest
Syder went to sea at Liverpool as an
apprentice in sail, intending eventual-
ly to write for a master’s ticket.
Faulty eyesight, however, interfered
with his plan and he transferred to
the purser’s department, first sailing
on the Pacific on the old “Braemar,”
out of Seattle to the Far East.

while declining to prophesy as to the}

the long view ‘There is every reason

quence improves, Canada will be

Sir Charles Gordon made particular

THE RHYMING
OPTIMIST

By Aline Michaelis ——

A CELEBRITY'S DIARY

She names them all, the books she
read,

The tale of her work and play,

The cities she saw as the swift years
sped,

Her journeyings far away.

She wrote them there for the world
to read,

In the years to come, maybe;

Her story of struggle, of want, of
need,

Of courage and constancy.

She left a record of fame'’s bright
blaze,

Of stirring and strange events,

Aglimpse of her crowded, colorful
days

Of life, full-brimmed, intense.

But, search as we will, we do not find

A hint of her dreams revealed;

She bared the ways of her splendid
mind, »

But her soul was a room concealed.

In. the end she left for the world to
see

Of her life but the lesser part;

She told of her triumphs and yictory,

But not of her woman's heart.

Results Are Satisfactory

Barley Ration Produces High Grade
Of Bacon and Beef

There is practically no limit to the
production of barley in Canada and
recent tests show that it produces
better bacon and beef than other
grains. It is proving fully the equal
of corn when fed with suitable sup-
plements in the form of home-grown
leguminous roughages. Barley can be
used in almost any proportion of the
grain ration up to one hundred per
cent. As a hog feed it develops an
entirely satisfactory class of bacon,
which is more than can be said for
corn fed in equal proportions, and as
a feed for beef cattle barley is un-
doubtedly one of the best of our
Canadian-grown coarse grains. The
increased use of barley and other
coarse grains at their present low
price levels will make for much bet-
ter quality in the beef being market-
ed, and this in turn will help create
ademand for more beef.—Depart-
ment of Agriculture.

Sarcasm Is Dangerous

Used In Court Caused Jury To Acquit
Guilty Man

The well-known author and play-
wright, Sir Edward Parry, has a rare
fund of legal anecdotes at his dispos-
al, reminiscent of his career at the
bar and on the bench.

One that he is fond of relating con-
cerns a youthful barrister, with a gift
for sarcasm, who, when prosecuting
an obviously guilty man, a burglar
who had been caught redhanded on
the roof of a house, wound up his
speech to the jury as follows:

“If you consider, gentleman, that
the accused was on the roof for the
Purpose of enjoying the midnight
breeze, and, by pure accident, hap-
pened to have about him the neces-
sary tools of a housebreaker, with no
dishonest intention of using them,
you will, of course, acquit him.”

And the jury, not appreciating at
its true value the Prosecuting coun-
Sel's too subtle irony, Promptly ac-
quitted him.
