Glenn then returns to the dam to supervise its com- pletion. 5 Chapter 24 LOVE VERSUS RICHES The morning brought two sur-] prises—the first a pleasant one. Anne had just reached the stage in her house cleaning where things Jooked infinitely worse than they had before she started. She was going back and forth in a perfect frenzy of zeal, putting out bedding, rugs, curtains — everything that ecould by any conceivable chance need sunning. On one of these trips to the front porch she spied two figures coming up the trail—three, if pheth was to be counted. Suddenly she dropped the rug she was shak-| ing, and started joyfully down the gteps. Without a doubt the figure behind Sheb was Delphine! In that moment Anne forgave the vocifer- ous, tyrannical French woman every thing. Never in had she been so glad to see any Delphine had already darted around Sheb, who was clumping along stolidly resigned, with a huge suitcase in either hand. She rushed up to Anne and flung her arms around her, sobbing an the was laughing and talking all same breath. Her presence quickly and volubly explained. She had seen “M'sieur Sheb” when he came to bring the note— and, she cast her expressive eyes heavenward, what a consternation, what a hubbub, what a row! And “M'sieur Morse” all dressed up waiting for the priest that had gone somewhere else! Oh, it was too delirious! Delphine fairly spilled over into laughter, ~Well, she had seén “M'sieur” Sheb. It had come to her like out of the sky — madame must have clothes, of course. She must have a maid. She, Delphine, would come. M'sieur Sheb could carry the suitcases—whether it pleased him or not. She had overtaken him a short distance from the Lodge; of course no one had seen her leave— shé had taken care of that. Now she was here, she meant to stay. An hour later, Anne, clad in a simple dark dress with one of Del- phine’s pretty aprons over it, stood atop of a teetering eminence com- posed of a kitchen chair with boxes piled on it. She was handing things down to Delphine from the top pantry shelf, Her sleeves were rolled high zbove white elbows, her hair rumpled, her cheeks brightly flushed. For the first time in her life, she was revelling in the pri- mal woman's joy of pursuing dirt to its last top-shelf-in-the-corner intrenchment. Of a sudden Delphine halted in her regular back and forth trot between pantry and cook table and muttered something in French. She held up her hand warhingly to Anne and quickly disappeared to- wards the front of the house. She came back almost immediately her eyes wide and startled, her face the picture of calamity. Before she could speak, Anne guessed the truth. She climbed down slowly from her swaying perch, rolled down her sleeves and patted her hair into place. Delphine looked after her as she went toward the living room, with mingled awe and pity “Pauvre enfant!” she muttered fer- vently to' herself. The she climbed up on the boxes and began rum- maging about. In the living-room Mrs. Wilmot sat on the edge of a chair, fanning herself with her handkerchief and frankly panting. “What's Delphine doing up here?” the older woman began without preface or greeting. “She came back with Sheb when he went to take my note” Anne explained, dropping down on 2 chair near the table. . “Well, she'll have to whistle for her quarter'’s salary, but that of course is no concern of mine. And is where you expect to ' live, is it?” Mrs. Wilmol's single, ~ fronic glance about the room made seem actually to shrink; to look mean and insignificant. “Yes,” she said, “this is where I to live. Delphine and I » just cleaned it from floor to It's been the best fun » ever had in my life, and—it look dear and liveable, doesn't ‘Wilmot grunted enigmatical- “I always knew,” she observed at in a perfectly matter of fact p, “that you were a fool.

A defective chimney of the fur- nace in the rear of the store evi- |dently was the cause of the fire, which was between the walls. Smoke iscuing from the walls gave the| ifirst indication .of the fire that| may have been smouldering for some time, before discovered. When the firemen arrived the smoke was SO dense that it was almost impossible | to explore the place and gas masks | were used Access to the blaze was had from the roof which was chopped through in several places and practically all the chemical ap- paratus was emptied and the salt water turned on before the fire was subdued. About the only damage resulting was that to the building which can be repaired easily, said Pusich after the fire. el TALKIE FILM MACHINES BE INSTALLED NEXT WEEK Sunday night will be the last time silent films are to be shown at the Liberty theatre as the regular fea- tured show, Mr. Ott, owner and manager of the house, stated yes- terday.

Contrast our when men were galleys, pushing merce across the present age with the days chained as slaves to the vessels of war ond com- seas. And even in later years—the days when not only men, but women and children, toiled out their lives in the mines, factories and workshops of industry.
