I wj'll lull you what our friend, Dean Chance, says when 1 hear from bim." On Tuesday morning, Aliss Lavinia received a letter from Dean Chance, which was short and to the point: "My Dear Aliss Lavinia, I am glad to heiir fron you again and to receive Information, both with regard to your- self nnd your sister Octavia. 1 am sorry poor Octavia is in bad .health, but 1 am glad ahe has got a nice companion in Barbara Chance. I knew her father exceedingly well; he was my cousin and greatest, friend; 1 cannot possibly understand why the girl needs to earn her living, for 1 know he Insured his life for at least, two thousand pounds for her. ln addition she hud sonic, little money, which she inherited from her mother. 1 will, however, consult the lawyers, Messrs. Parkes and sunningley, and let you know if there is anything to conceal, but 1 cannot think that there is. The child lias always been a sweet child; 1 am sorry that she is obliged to earn her bread. Of course, she belongs to perfect gentry, both on her father's and mother's side. "I am, dear Lavinia, your sincere friend, "James Chance." Aliss Lavinld could not gel much out of this letter. She told Miss Octavia, however, that it was (juite satisfac tory, anil that she was, on no account, to breathe one single word with regard to it, to Barbara. "1 am glad, of course," she said, "for 1 cannot be too particular with regard to the person who is so much with my sister. The Dean's letter per fectly satisfies me, and we will treat the child with every consideration. She evidently is not so poor as we thought; but perhaps she is of a saving turn of mind and wishes to put by against a rainy day. If so, I respect her all the more for so doing, and shall treat her accordingly." Meanwhlla Dean chance, having sent oft his letter, sat for some time in a puzzled attitude in his luxuriously Iltted-up study in the cathedral town of Kxham. He liad been Dean of Kxham Cathedral for long years. Me was n man of about sixty years of age; tall, with white hair, and a most dignified presence. He had been present when the Hector was buried, and bud seen little Barbara in her bitter grief. He had said a few words to Ik. on that occasion; but when he wrote to llnd out where she was, he was told that she bad left her home suddenly, and lhat nobody knew anything about her. "How strange that she should have become reader to poor Octavia lienslowe!" be said to himself; "a disagreeable, poor woman, very. But Barbara is so sweet that she would make anyone love her," thought lhe Dean. "Well, I'll go to the luwyers and lell them that J hnve found her address at last." Accordingly he went up to London, and wus shown into the offices of Messrs. Parkes and Sunningley. By this time they had given up their search for Barbara in despair; they were amazed, therefore, when their old friend, Dean Chance, entered the room. Air. Parkes was the llrst to greet him. "No news, my dear sir," said the lawyer. "Tbe girl has managed to hide herself as absolutely and completely as tliough she didn't exist. 1 must confess " feel anxious about her ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½so young, so pretty. She hasn't even taken any of her clothes with her." "And vou knew the reason why she has left?" "I am afraid I do." "Can you tell me?" "That I cannot do." "Is it a- good reason, or a wrong reason?" "It is a very terrible reason, but it has nothing to do with Barbara." "Well, I can, at last, tell you where Barbara is," said Dean Chance. "You can!" exclaimed Mr. Parkes. "You can!" He jumped to his feet In his excitement. "Let me cell Sunningley. This is news Indeed." "I have got Information about the child in the most remarkable way,' said Deiiii chance, whon sunningley ami he bud shaken hands, "Site bus gone to a house In Vuiixhull .ridge iioud, where two old friends of mine ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½at least oue oi' them would feel rat her angry a I being celled old - live.

Preparations to Meet All Demands Tho financial strain or threatened and actual war, which bar, been so severely felt in olher countries, is being admirably met. in Canadn At a conference enrly 'his week between the. Finance Minister iiiiiI representatives of the .Canadian Bankers' Association, lho whole situation was carefully considered, und effective arrangements made to meet, any unusual demands on the Canadian currency mid banking system. The provision of most importance to the geiierui public is the announcement of the Minister of Finance authorizing payments in Bank Notes instead of In gold or Dominion Notes. In other words, the public may continue the usual custom oJ paying money in "hills" as we cull them, of $5, $10. $20 or other denominations, issued by our Chartered Bunks, as well as In bills issued by the Canadian Government. Tradesmen, transportation companies and all putllc offices will continue to accept these bills: as they have always done, ami so far as our currency is considered lhe war will have no effect. The government's readiness to give the Banks any support they may re- 'quire coupled with their own exceptionally strong position iu reserves of ready cash, should allay any uneasiness which might he felt by depositors. In times of war, as In limes of peace, the safest place for private savings is undoubtedly in the hand., of our Banks. How Flowers Are Fertilized In order that fruit may come on our fruit trees and bushes, it is necessary that the blossoms he fertilized, and this is carried out either hy insects, such an bees, Hying to one (lower, getting dusted with the pollen, and then flying to another, where tlie pollen is rubbed off, or by the wind, -which blows the pollen from one blossom to another, or blows the various dowers together. In greenhouses, however, where some of the choicest fruits, such as peaches, are grown, this natural fertilization is impossible; there are probably neither bees nor wind under the glass. In order thut the fertilization may be affected, the gardener takes either a eamelhair brush, or, for the blossoms that are out of eS-h reach, a rabbit's fluffy tail tied to the end of a stick. With this Hie pollen is collected from one flower and dusted off on to another very effectively, and without injury to tlie blossom. iillest Flagpole and Largest Flag The tallest siugle-plece wooden flag pole ever erected"has been placed in iho Panama-Pacific exposition grounds at sua Francisco, it is trimmed In thel Bhape of a hexagon, from the trunk of I n Douglas lir tree, "III feel iu height, 'lit in Oregon.

The Sea-Horse Family Visitors to tlie Children's museum, Brooklyn, have recently been entertained by the graceful movements of some sea-horses swimming in a salt water aquarium. They tro lish, but they look like knights of tlie chessboard attached as heads to coiled-up worms Their horse-like heads end in a mouth like the end of a pipe. Tlie seahorse watches a tiny shrimp until this comes near its mouth; then, witli a sudden darting motion, accompanied by a distinct click, it expands the mouth-tube, placing it over Hie shrimp, which is quickly drawn, it on lhe current of the water produced by the suction. "No other fish," writes Aliss Anna 13. Gallup, in lhe Museum Mews, "has the strange prehensile tail, but for the sea-horse this organ seems to he necessary most of the time. When the aquarium does not contain any weeds or other objects for the sea-horse to grasp, two or more animals will lock their tails, nnd swim about as though at play. "The male lish takes ull the care of the, young. The female puts the eggi into his pouch, or pocket, situated near the base of the tall. Here the eggs hatch and the young develop until able to take care of themselves, when the male expels them front the pouch." A Missouri farmer whose son was an applicant for a position under the government, but who had been re- jpeatedly turned down, said: "Well, it's hard luck, but Joe has missed that civil service again. It looks like they'just won't have him!" "What was the trouble?" "Oh, lie was short on spellin' and geography and missed a good deal of arithmetic." "What's he going to,.do about it?" "I dunno." said the farmer. "Times is mighty hard, an' I reckon he'll bave to go back to teachin' school for a livin'."

Eight head-like eyes glare wildly upon the terrified Uy. A large, hairy and bristly linger-like-palpus on each side of tills appalling face waves and flourishes with angry menace in the air, apparently quivering with malignant glee. Then one of those combed and clawed feet is stretched toward tlie hapless prisoner, and the threads that hold the fly are suddenly tightened Up as the monster pulls them together.

He delights in digging up traps, springing them, eating the bait and otherwise disturbing- the set without getting caught. His sense Vf smell Is very acute. The best way to trap him is to build a bonfire over the sot after lhe. traps have been properly placed. Throw into the embers some bacon rinds, chicken bones or, better yet, bones ot sage hen or grouse. The coyote habitually searches about camp- fires for stray bits of meat nnd Is there less wary. The lire obliterates the traces of Hie set, eliminates the tracks and smell of a human being, and the odor of the burned meat will attract him from a long distance. He is more likely to walk into the trap thus disguised with the remnant; ot a camp-fire than any other unless you hr.ve a carcass literally surrounded with traps with a severe winter on nnd no other carcasses within mi.es.ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½W.

Artistic Temperament Cured It will be news to many of her my. iads of admirers to hear that that noble artist Tiliens "used to suiter from a bad temper, and in these outbursts she felt a strong desire to smash anything that came handy." How Titiens was ultimately cured of the habit Mr. Gaiu relates in his reminiscences: "She was sitting at supper after a concert in a provincial town when the manager made some remark which annoyed her. As usual, she took the first thing that came to hand, a soda water bottle and flung it at him. The manager was sitting at the ta_le with liis back to the window. The bottle missed him, smashed through the window and nearly killed a casual passerby. This, said Titiens, gave, her such a shock that she was completely cured of her failing."ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Pall Mull Caz- ette. Birds The lirst "birds" were .ot much like those of tbe. present time.

The pterodactyl did not sing, and could we have seen him wc wouid not have felt like singing ourselves. True birds, and especially the warblers, are very late In geologic, time.

It. is not to bo expected, of course, that ralrt could bo obtained from u dry sky, but. normal conditions or the air would leave much opportunity for weather control if the theory should prove workable. The total eclipse of the sun on a path from Greelano to Persia is to be made the occasion for elaborate wireless experiments.

This proposition does not appeal to us.

Timber Resources of B. C. In the vast forests of British Columbia 360 billion feet of the finest mature timber is now awaiting manufacture, Cuttings at present a notint to less than 2 billion feet a year, which is but a portion of the annual forest growth. Far larger markets for the timber, therefore, must be found; and thus the Provincial Government, assisted by the Department of Trade and Commerce at Ottawa, is leading the industries concerned in a commercial campaign, both in the existing markets, and in those now being made accessible by the opening of the Panama Canal, Some of the largest mills in the world are in British Columbia, and the cutting and manufacture of timber is the most important business iu the Province. The number of saw, pulp, paper and shingle mills is over 400, and their output for 1913 wasvalued at $30,000,00. The Supreme importance of the forests and of the industries dependent upon them have made the prevention of forest fires an im portant matter of public policy, Protection and administration of British Columbia's timber resources entrusted to the Forest Branch of the Government Service.

Mr. Mattieda while going along the road near McCutcheon's point saw a deer in the water, he left a companion to watch him, and rushed back to Comox and secured a rifle and shot the animal. In connection with the wreck at Lazo, it is stated that the wireless station is not allowed to notify any one locally of any accident in the vicinity. This does not seem altogether right. There is generally a tug or a steamboat at Comox and always one at Union Bay. If these places were notified, vessels and life might be saved, that otherwise would be lost.

BROCK, Acting Manager, Courtenay and Comox Branches Comox branch open ou Tuesdays, from 11 to 3 VICTORIA NOTES As n result of the war and accentuated by the German atrocities a boycott of German goods is becoming general. One firm in Victoria, winch has a large agency for German goods, is now substituting goods of British origin. It must also be remembered that German production has iu most industries practically ceased, and" therefore the merchant needs to find other scources of supply, It was a black day for the Fatherland when the military caste, that of the Junkers, succeeded iu entrapping the German people If a revolution is avoided in Germany, either during the war or immediately after the war, it will be a wonderful event. In the meantime, what may be termed the "goodwill" of the German trader has disappeared and the wonderful trade connections worked up by enterprising men of commerce to such an exteut that Britain was compelled to look to ber own trade position to avoid being driven out of business, all this has gone like a faded dream. While, it would be bad taste to advocate "flag-wagging," at the same time one could wish for a greater display of the Union Jack, the symbol of freedom.; Let it be .proudly hoisted to the top of the family cloihespost each morning, and hauled down at sunset, and when people ask "What ye mean by this service," let them be told that but for the power and the security, the freedom and the silent strength, represented by that Elag. Canada had been as Belgium today. When we read of a girl of six years of age, whose hands have been lopped off by German troopers, the fact being vouched for by an American, there cannot be too much emphasis given to the display of that dear old rag which, floating all over the world and upon which the sun never sets, is a guarantee in itself that oppression shall be punished and that cruelty shall be visited by stern reprisals, We have never made enough of that Flag, and now is the time to turn over a new leaf. A Britisher lean doff his hat when he sees the Flag, and feel proud that he has the flag for his own. At a time when the hat is being freely passed on behalf of the Patriotic Fund, it is only seemly to remind your readers that to give to that fund at the expense of other charities is hardly proper. By all means hive, but to give in addition to what one usually gives to other hinds, For instance, it is said that the Wesleyan clergy of Ontario are suffering through the diversion of money to 'he war funds, at a time when their expenses, like everybody else's, have gone up; Church funds all over Canada are feeling the pinch, and it has been necessary for the Anti- Tubercit'.osi. Society to ' remind subscribers that their work 011 behalf of thv poor sufferers must go on. and that they will need the money to carry on, as before. Mention of the Patriotic Fuud brings to mind the method of administering that fund; in Victoria, so far as is known, the exact method has yet fo be decided, but there could be no better way than to copy out the system followed out in the case of strike pay, viz, to allow so much for each child in addition to the sum for the mother, aud, departing from the strike method in one particular, send a cheque weekly or fortnightly, To dole out food tickets is surely an insult to the relatives of the man who is patriotic enough to leave all and go; to distribute food is to invite trouble because here again the recipitents are entitled to say what they shall eat. To send public spirited ladies around with money is to place a burden on their shoulders such as no expert financier could bear, and even public spirited ladies are as liable to make mistakes as anyone else; also there is the risk that the applicant with the longest face would get the lion's share on the round of the lady in charge. With all its risks it is safe to say that the cheque method is the best and least likely to cause friction. There are some people whose "no"|is more welcome to the ear than the "yes" of others and in the same way there is many a woman w'io would rather starve than have a well-meaning but blundering relief visitor enter the house and criticize the breakfast table, for instance. Just as the recipitents of a pension from the army' navy or civil service get the instalments in the form of a cheque and cash the warrant produly and without shame, to spend and dispose cf as they think fit, so in like manner tbe people who are to receive help at such a time like this, should be allowed the same honourable way, without intrusion upon WE HAVE JUST RECEIVED OUR NEW SAMPLES OF Suitings, Overcoating and Trouserings FOR FALL AND WINTER WEAR If you anticipate buying a suit, overcoat or (trousers this fall it will pay you to see our stock We guarantee material, workmanship and fit W.

In too many places the war has been made the plea fur closing down and curtailing wholesale, to an extent unwarranted and tending to bring about a panic. Those responsible for the building deserve all support and commendation, and there could be no better "booï¿½ï¿½t" for tlie district than to be able to say that when other communities were dead nud despondent Courtenay went ahead with another church, One wonders what the dedication of the church i.s to be. and how the memorable year of the war is to be woven into the I name by which it shall be known 1 Shall it be St. George's, the name, of the patron saint of England or is that dedication not broad enough? Shall it be St. David's, as emblematical of tlie fight against the German Goliath? That savours of a conflict between the Welsh patron saint and the shepherd king. St. John would seem to be more suitable, the fiery nature combined with the capacity of ardent love, of the apostle and evangelist being somewnat of a parallel to the night of Britain tempered with justice and mercy. But we shall see. and iu lhe meantime one hopes to hear that the work has been started. It is a splendid opportunity for perp.mating the memory of those who have fallen or who shall fall before the war is over, known and unknown, officers and men, friend and foe, the men wbo died at their post.- COMOX Mr. L.

Salt Water Fishing The total value of salt water lish in first hands landed In Canada during the month of Hay, 1014, amounted to $1,7-1,1.9, which is 373,056 less than the total for May last year. The falling off is due largely to the fact that, tlie Lunenburg banking fleet was prevented from getting to the Magdalen Islands for bait till much late.1 than usual, nnd did not land any lish during May this year. -prinK herring was as abundant as ever, but as ice remained late on the coast and retarded fishing operations, the catch was considerably below that for May last year.

"Master Humphrey's Clock" There has just come into the. market the famous old relic which gave Charles Dickens the title of liis story, "Master Humphrey's Clock." It is a grandfather clock, inscribed with the name of the maker, William Humphreys of Barnard Castle, and tlie date, 1820, with a dial of brass and silvered metal, in a tall case of Dutch lacquer, with architectural top. William Humphreys was tho son of Thomas Humphreys, a watchmaker of Barnard Castle, whose shop was opposite tlie King's Head Inn. where Dickens spent six weeks In 1837 while studying tlie Dotheby's portion of "Nicholas xickleby." Tlie clock remained In possession Ot its maker until his death, when It was acquired hy the father of the, present owner.

In nearly every instance where oil is used on tlie great, lakes tlie captains let it drip through the waste pipes both forward and aft. Some of the masters claim excellent results from dripping oil through a s.tort piece of tied; hose run through ilie hawser pipes or chocks, forward. Many lake men think that these two methods are as efficient as the use of oil hags, ant' are much easier to put into operation. ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Harold Waters, in Leslie's.
