Gath er ycrself together, fish three and sixpence out of ma bag, finish the bottle of champagne, and melt away like butter in the sun. When I come to a Covent Garden Ball, I sleep all day and my vitality ain’t worked put until the band dies in its shoes.” She turned away her al!-to-golden head, pave him a vast expanse of pow dered back and flashed upon the ka leidoscopic scene beneath the box her once quite beautiful eyes. The : band of black that the poor soul ' surrounded them with was as broad .is the one used by Frenchmen on 1 their writing paper as a mark of re- i spect and sometimes affection for a 1 just deceased relative. It gavt a i touch of grotesque pathos to an un- ! acknowledged wreck. I "My dear Lumleysaid Lady Cor nish—" If yer want ter go, go." Algernon Lumley did not’find it easy to talk above that miraculously persistent band and tfie everlasting swish of dancing feet. A quiet man, who revelled in silences, his voice was quiet, as were his clothes, his tread, and a history whose rather queer echoes had almost died away, j And in any case what was the use of talking? As well attempt to move the Rigi with a volley of blank cartridges as dissuade Kitty Cornish from a fixed idea with mere gentle manly words. Then, too, she was more than his wife. She was his banker. The fifteen hundred a year into which she had come when George Had died like a fish in a bot tle had saved him from competing with the collar stud and bootlace merchants in the streets of London. With a shrug of the shoulders, therefore, he put away the watch that he had inherited from George, rose, and stood in one of his uncon sciously graceful attitudes in a cor ner of the box. To this, as to every place, he lent an air of great distinc tion with liquid height, his Stuart profile, his snow-white hair, and a dyed moustache upon which he lav ished as much care and attention as most men devote to g»!f. On the great space below there were at least two thousand tempo rarily demented people wobbling {.bout in one unholy mass like just caught flies on a sheet of sticky pa per. Many of the "younger men, slim, sinuous, and simpering, looked, in their elaborate fancy dress, like women, but all the women could not ! be mistaken for anything else in cos tumes which outdid Baedeker as a guide to sightseers. The stammer ing ragtime with the thrumming un dercurrent of banjos rose into an atmosphere heavy with the reek of scent, powder and cigarette smoke. All the other boxes were filled with fantastic people who came and went like bees in a Gargantuan honey comb. “Then, too, as you know as well as I do,” added Lady George, at the too of her voice, "I’ve asked some of the boys to drop in ’ere about three o'clock for an ’am sandwich and a glass or two. Nice thing if they came up and found that you had marched me off ’ome and left em fiat, I don’t think.” Although she wasn’t looking, Lumley bowed and waved his hand, as who should say “My dear old thing, I am not arguing. Have it your own way. You always do, aad you have the right.” She knew both gestures as well as she knew the remark, but being one of those women who continue to fight long after the battle has-been won she carried on her reproaches in the vain hope ,of getting some thing back which would give her a legitimate reason for further indig nation and eloquence. She ought to have been an opera singer so that she must have been obliged to save her voice between performance*, i The only thing that ahe held up against Lumley was his lack of im agination. He simply could not un derstand that, for the sake If W belf-respect, a wife ought toba pro jeven if-it js*fictitious. * . ling T moods!*by mcorting^lwsMnto as hard for a living as all the con scientious men who slaved at City desks. He was, however, a grateful person. He performed his duties cheerfully, showed no impatience or irritation, and in his own peculiar undemonstrative and economical way was fond of the woman who had married him for his air of high breeding but continued to go under the name, without having the slight est right to do so, of the feeble minded man to whom she had served so many brandies and sodas. Uncommonly beautiful in her youth, Kitty Libby, as she was then, had flourished at the time when it was the fashion among the more idiotic of the sons of the ancient aristocracy to spend their days in going from one to another of the refreshment rooms on the various railway stations where they drank between trains and became socially familiar with all the most attractive barmaids. , George Lomax Alexander Gerald St. John Cornish, third son of the thirteenth Marquis of Millchester, had joined the railway brigade on coming down from Oxford. A big, lumbering, blond, curly-headed, good-natured creature of the St Bernard type, he had dedicated enough of the best years of his life to the Great Western brandy crawl to achieve the enviable position of its chief exponent. A pity, because with a different energy and the nec essary clean eye he would have made a magnificent county cricketer. Before he became a confirmed alco holic. as he did at twenty-eight, it was his proud boast that he knew every bar and every barmaid on the entire system. A moment’s notice, although never at any time after Before he became a confirmed also miilday, he could give the pet name and a very vivid description of every one of the girls who stood with reg ulation insolence and decoration be hind a thousand counters. But it ■was to the refreshment room of the station at Reading that he gravi tated most frequently, because it was there that Kitty Libby, daugh ter of a local barber, reigned as Queen, dressed always in the height of fashion and the cheapest jewelry. He was, of course, Georgie to her, and she was naturally Kitten tc hint. Under the influence of her sympa thetic eye and four star brandy ha fell into the habit of confiding his inmost thoughts and especially, just before closing time, the heart-rend ing account of his being misunder stood by the family. He even went so far eventually as to take rooms in her town, of all places, so that h* might be within a few hundred yards of the "one woman on God’s green earth” who appreciated his good points and guided him to the door of his lodgings. And then, suddenly, the brandy crawl habit which had led to several marriages that had shocked society, was supplanted by the one that de veloped strongly in 1906 of haunting the musical comedy theatres ana making peeresses of chorus girls. Whereupon George Cornish found himself in sole possession not only of thp Reading but every other re freshment room on the Great West ern Railway,—and it got upon his nerves. He was now a man of two great grievance* because to the fam ily misunderstanding he added the wholesale desertion of the gang. And so, emerging from a thoroughly enjoyable attack of delirium tre mens, he obtained the strong arm of a friendly and often-tipped por ter, was escorted from his rooms to the station, entered the familiar and fly-blown room in which the lovely Kitten dispensed spiritual comfort to her customers, leaned feebly on the counter and sajd, “Kitten, how about trottin’ round somewhere with me in the mornin’ and gettin’ mar ried?” In all truthfulness it must be said that this extremely worldly young woman, who had clung with the most rigid and sometimes puzzling pride to her virtue, received so great a shock from an unexpected pro posal which would lift her out of the vast mediocrity of her position as a barmaid into the dazzling heights of aristocracy that, for the first time in her career, she flooded a small glass of Benedictine and burst into tears during business hours. Like every member of her useful profession she had allowed nothing hitherto to dis turb her flashy imperturbability. They were joined together as soon as the necessary regulations of the Registrar of births, deaths and mar riages could be overcome and lived an almost. ideal life, until another Registrar was called in to fill in the form of George’s exit from all mor tal worries. It need hardly be said that in addition to her wifely duties Lady George had performed those of a nurse, a watcher, a prohibition agent, a goaler, and a guide, and au these she had carried out with a gar -1 rulous devotion. that. was inspiring , to behold.

Mrs. Nannie Mclntyre, who is at present in the county jail here, t’.iarges the keeper of the county home. J. C. BurlesOn. with having whipped her one day last week, and the affair has caused conslderab'e talk and comment. That Mr. Burleson did strike the woman three licks with a tender switch Which he broke from a peach three, he does not deny. He had to do it, he says, and this same opinion has been expressed by other inmates of the home. When interviewed by tne News- Herald, Burleson stated that the wom an. who is about 35 years old. was brought to t".ie county home several months ago. At the time, he says, she was suffering from a virulent form of venereal disease. Since months of careful medical attention, however, her condition has improved and she is apparently well, and able to take care of herself, speaking from a physical standpoint. Burleson says she is of a low grade of intelligence and is a moral degenerate. She refused to sweep her own room, wash 'ier own plate, or do any other act of service around the home. Mr. Burle.vsnn and the other inmates say. She had made herself disagreeable to the old people of the home, and refused to be con trolled. She had threatened to do personal injury to other inmates, and even put many of the old people in fear that she would set fire to the home ■ and burn up the inmate while they slept. "I whipped her because I had to do it to protect those old people, who are feeble, but honorable," Me told the News-Herald. Finding her entirely unmanageable, lie finally al 'oweil her to leave the home. Sim was arrested in Albemarle by Chief. Troutman the next day ami lodged in jail. While Mr. Burleson may have tech nically violated the law in whipping Mrs. Melnyre. and 110 one would say I'.iat he did not make a mistake in so doing, yet. if one is to believe the keeper of the home anil the other in mates, he at least thought he was do ing the proper thing. The inmates of the home appear to think a lot of Mr. Burleson. They look to 'him for A “Master Cleaner” LOOKS FAR INTO THE FUTURE! He sees HUNDREDS of bundles of cleaning work being sent from YOUR home -to Somewhere: He sees a possibility of GETTING that work if the QUALI TY. of his product merits it.

The University of British Co lumbia was first suggested some fifty years ago. Nothing was ac complished. however, until 1916 when temporary college buildings were erected in Fairview where, that same year, the first session of the University was held. Perman ent buildings, however, were re served for Point Grey, a suburb of Vancouver, where the legislature of British Columbia bad set aside 2,700 acres of improved land for the university. It was on this vast plot that three magnificent college halls of granite were erected re cently together with nine other buildings of timber and stucco. The three granite structures are the library, the science building and the power house. The less pretentim* %aia» shelter a cafeteria.

Try to have the aerial wire in one piece; this can be done by threading the wire through the end of the insulator at the lead-in end, taking two turns around the hori sontal wire and continuing on down with the same wire for the lead-in. Keep the horizontal part of the aerial as straight as possible, without bends. This also applies to the lead-in wire; do not try to fit it around oomers. When planning the aerial, see that the lead-in wire will reach the set by the shortest way. The ground wire should also be as short ss possible. For these short connections it is necessary to carefully consider the location of the ii iii^iiilMKSi Saturday, August 28, 1920 * farmer especially. Most of ths University’s graduates are agri culturists who, for the greater part, settle in the province of their alma mater. The Tudor style of architecture prevails in the three ultra-modern granite buildings and this motif will be adhered to in constructing future halls.
