"Twice as good a show tis last year," is the very businesslike phrase of a citizen describing the 191? fall fair of the Creston and District Women's Institute, which was held in Mercantile Hall on Wednesday afternoon. And the expression is not wide of the mark, for both in the matter of classes in which awards were made as vtzgll as in the total of entries made this year's- exhibition easily shows a 100 per cent gain over the 1916 show. The juvenile department inauguart- *-d this year was not as largely patronized as anticipated, and the number on contestants in * the packed apple section was lighter than the prizes' offered warranted, but beyond these the number and the quality of the exhibits exceeded the* hopes of the most optimistic. As predicted there -was & grand, display in eyery section in the cooking department,, the competition for the red and blue tickets in the several bread sections was both keen and ������atensive, and but little lighter for ���������;;:.iliev..:.������^!pje v^djv 1^ ���������. :j#ix!mii&^^ smd roilsVcandV;^ without number.

And its the same story in the other lines all the way through the list barring plants and flowers which did not have as large an entry list, but at that the show was a good one considering tbe very dry - season the Valley has gone through. In the line of honors at prize-win ing Mrs. M. Young stands llrst with a showing of four firsts and four seconds, and is awarded the Andy Miller special prize in that connection. Mrs. Cook is close up with Uvo firsts and n. third, and Mrs. Fairhead next with four ftrsts and ono second. In the juvenile section Mies Estella McKelvey takes tho Dr. Henderson $5 prize for biggest prize winner with three firsts, with Lyda Johnson next with two firsts and a second.

So, where are those people? What are they doing there? The rules arc strict. Besides, there's another thing. If Cue police saw anybody leaving that club after its proper hours, there'd be enquiries made. Now. what do you think oi it, King?" Avory's host had lighted his Turk- i.-'h pipe and sat dreamily ������molting it. He shook his head. '"Don't know. It seems queW. Tliat is. if it's as you say.

"No, it ��� isn't likely. \""" But���well, what next?" _ "Well, I'm going lo find out more. i"m going to be still more, inquisitive. In the. meantime, a.s you're such a chap for using your brains, try to consider litis problem, and see if you tan suggest anything. Of course, I've got a theory." King looked an intoYrogalive as Avory made for the door. And Avory laughed. "Yes," he said. "And my theory is that the Amaranth is a cloak that covers- what ?" CHAPTlvR XII. Banister King Takes a Hand leaving his question unanswered, Avory throw his friend a careless nod and went away, and Banister King presently heard the door across the landing loudly closed. He himself sat for some time devoting his energies to his Turkish pipe, staring meanwhile at the fantastic covering which he had thrown over the green jade linage. But at last he laid thc pipe aside, rose to his feet, and glanced at the dial of an old French clock vhich stood ou his mantle-piece. "A quarter past three," he murmured; 'a quarter past three in thc morning. Wherefore, as this is the last week in June, the. sun is due to rise over the microcosm called London is just about half au hour. We will go out and catch her lirst rays." Thereupon Banister King, having drawn his curtains and admitted a flood of light, tntiiicd out his lamps and looked about him. The incense of the censer was emitting a last faint curl of smoke; he lifted the arabesque lid and crushed out the siik uklering grains with the tip of his linger; that done, he removed the censer to a cabinet crowded with su��:h curiosities and lifted the image, divested of its covering, to a pedestal which stood in the corner of the. rom. He stood for a hi in uic regarding it cynically. ''You are. ugly enough at all times, my friend," he observed; "but you are never quite so abominably ugly as in the light of day. That is why you stand in the corner. And the more 1 look at you, the more J wonder what was in the mind of the -man whose art fashioned you!" With a laugh, King turned away into a room which led out of bis sitting room; a room as plain and unremarkable, as the other was bizarre and to be. wondered al. There, was a narrow camp bed in one corner; there was a dressing table furnished with a very full supply of toilet articles; there was one occasional table and one chair; and there was a massive wardrobe, lavishly. supplied with drawers and cupboards. It was, in .short, a room in which a man might take great pains about dressing, and in which he could sleep in Spartan fashion. (To Be Continued.) DrowR!i:2T Accidents Ship Losses Tremendous Norway's losses of ships in the U- boat warfare for the six months ended June 29, says a Christiania despatch, were about 4,490,000 tons. Indiscriminate U-boat attacks resulting in several sinkings have just', compelled the Swedish fishing fleet on the coast of Norway outside the German danger zone to suspend fishing and return home before thc end of the season after heavy losses.

Many Lives Uselessly Sacrificed Through Carelessness Each year many lives are lost by drowning accidents. Carelessness aud bravado* are the chief causes consequently many lives might be saved by the exercise of caution. ' Learning- to swim is of course the first essential in the. preventing ol drownings, but, even in this, there is an element of danger, as the learn-" er is often tempted to go beyond his depth before fully competent tb take care of himself. To keep within his depth is the only safe way for the beginner, Carelessness in the use of rowboats and canoes has claimed many victims. Ordinary common sense only is necessary to overcome these drowning accidents. These frail craft arc only intended for the use of those who know how to use them, and. safety depends upon the occupants refraining from moving "about. The use of high-speed motor boats of. late has added its chapter to the record of lives lost by drowning. Lack of speed restriction on our inland lakes and rivers has encouraged the "speed fiend/' and consequently many accidents are due to his running down and swamping rowboats* and canoes, as well as collisions with other motor boats. These accidents are avoidable, an-"?, thc most elementary application oi 'safety first1 principles would save to Canada many needlessly wasted lives. -.
