CHAPTER XXVI.

On a morning in August Charmian
unlocked the door into what hat so
recently been John Carter's office,
and opened the casement wide. The
floor was no longer covered by the
A. soft Bokhara; the windows were bare
_ of hangings; the bookshelves empty.
Only the tall brass andirons gleamed
a welcome from the blackened
hearth; and the girl wiped the dust
from Great-grandfather Davis's old

surroundings,

As she did so a brisk step sounded
e on the sidewalk, and in another mo-

‘ sd ment the doorway was blotted out
Se hy. Geonge K.'s ample figure. -
“What you up to this morning?”

= he questioned genially. “Saw the

door wide open, and thought I'd take
a look. Kind of bare, isn't it, since

your doctor departed? But it's a

pretty place in spite of that.”

. “Come in,” smiled Charmian,
= — “You're the one person in Wickfield
i= I want to see.” :

. "You flatter me,” replied George
K., and smiled.
“Sit down,” she said. “This is the

- only chair, but I'll perch on the desk
if you don’t mind. Uncle George, I'm

sick with indecision on a lot of sub;

George K. nodded, and the girl

I live; but things have changed. She
needs me now, and I can't be away

George, that we'll have to sell the
house.”
“And live here?" he questioned,
Charmian nodded because it was
hard to speak; but after a moment

Howe's idea. He must have realized
that the time would come when I
couldn't make both ends meet. Oh, if
I could only have kept the house as
long as Grandma, lived! I dread to
tell her.””

George K. arose, suddenly. He went
to the window, his back to “Char-
mian, and blew a loud blast upon his
nose. When he turned he said with a
good attempt at cheer: ‘You needn't
dread it, Charmian. Grandma's a}
brave woman; she won't flinch. Look
here, child, if I gave you an allow-
ance just as if you were my daugh-
ter, and—and—”

“Oh, Uncle George!” cried Char-
mian. “How can I be downhearted
when I've got friends like you? Of
course you can’t give me an allow-
ance; but perhaps you can help me
sell the house. iat must be done
before I can go ahead and make this
livable. The’ only trouble is — will
| anybody want it?”

“Don't worry about that, my dear,
I had an offer for it several months
ago. I didn’t say anything about it |
because T thought just then that a
certain M.D. of our acquaintance
might make his home here perman-
nently. But if the place is on the
market you won't have to hunt a
purchaser.”

Charmian, who had flushed during
this frank speech, asked breathlessly:
“Who wants it? Will they pay any-
thing like what the old place is real-
ly worth?”

‘The banker nodded.

“You won't be cheated while I do
the bargaining, my child. You ought
to get enough, reserving this build-
ing and a small strip of land, so you
can live on the, interest — in Wick-
field. I'll see that you do. Once you
make the change, Charmian, I think
you'll find life surprisingly easier;
and after all, you'll still be occupy-
ing @ corner of your ancestral acres,
if that’s any comfort.”

Charmian was looking through the
open casement toward the, homestead
that was her greatest pride. She said,
at last: “It ought to be, of course;
but it'll be hard to see strangers
come in and out of the old house.
Who wants it, Uncle George?”

George K. hesitated a moment be-
fore he answered: “I'm not at liberty
to say at present; though I don’t see
why. It’s some one who's driven
through Wickfield frequently, and
taken a fancy to the place. He's a
young man, who, I believe, is going
to be a, ges but he said there'd be |
no hurry ‘about your getting out. In|
fact, he'd like you to stay on for a
while, as caretaker, and superintend
the necessary repairs. I suppose when
it comes to any real remodelling he'll
get the verdict of the lady in the
case. That's all I know.”

-“Then you really mean that the
house is as good as sold?”

“I’m sure of it. I'll drop him a line
today and ask when the papers can |
be signed. As for this little place,
Charmian, With a few alterations it
can be made delightful; and Grand-
ma will be happy knowing your work
is lighter. It’s without doubt the sen-
sible thing to do.’’

“I'm afraid,” said Charmian as he
arose, “that I don't like being sensi-
ble, Uncle George. Do you think these
people are the sort who'll spoil the
house with the wrong sort of ‘im- |
provements,’ the way so many old|
houses have been spoiled?” |

“[m sure they're not,” was the|
emphatic answer. “It's quaintness |
was what attracted the young man, |
Don't lose sleep over that. Now I
must run in and speak to Grandma, |
Charmian—” George K. turned as he |
reached the door. “What's the mat- |
ter with John Carter? Salina says
the life has gone out of his step in
the last month. Have you broken his}
heart?” |
Charmian smiled.

“I have an uncomfortable feeling |
that the consensus of opinion in
Wickfield 1s that he has broken |
mine!”

“He hasn't—has he?”

George K. looked so genuinely
sollcitous that the girl said quickly: |
“What nonsense!—though if he had}
I wouldn't admit it for a kingdom, |
As Grandma frequently remarks, ‘we
Davises haye our pride’ The only
thing that’s breaking my heart,
Uncle George, is the thought that 1
haven't been clever enough to keep
the Davis homestead in the family.
As for John Carter, if the life has
gone out of his step, I'm truly sorry.
He dropped in yesterday when I was
at the library, and Grandma said he

do about it. I’d brave even the Wick-
field gossips to help as a good a friend
as he has been to us.”

“Well, so long,” smiled the banker.
‘Tl let you know what I hear from
your purchaser, my dear.”

Charmian stood at the window
watching him cross the driveway and
disappear under the golden pineapple.

“I believe," she mused, “that the
whole thing will be easier now it's
settled. This will make a darling liy-
ing room. Grandma will get a better
view of the street from this window
than from the old one. I can sleep on
a couch in here, and Grandma can
have the other room. Of course it’s
the only thing to do! Why, hello!
where did you come from?”

This question was addressed to
John Carter, who stood, as George
K. had an hour earlier, in the door-
way. At Charmian’s greeting he
came forward, tossed his hat onto
the desk, and answered: “I couldn't
resist the lure of that open door. I
never pass here, Charmian, without
a homesick twinge. Never again shall
I have an office that so exactly suits
me; and I miss you and Grandma
more than you'd guess. You see,
there's not enough sickness this time
of year to keep me from thinking of
things that had better be forgotten.
Well, let's forget 'em!"’ he said more
cheerfully, “What brought you here
this morning, may I ask?”

Charmian told him, adding that the
old doctor had made the plan for her;
and that George K. had a purchaser
for the house.

“So you see,” she ended, “every-
thing's done—except telling Grand-
ma. I admit that I can’t quite face
the thought of that ordeal.”

The young man looked very serious
as he replied: “Let me tell her, Char-
mian, I'm hardened to breaking un-
pleasant truths to people. Besides,
unless I’m mistaken, Grandma is fond
of me. I can break the news as pain-
lessly as you can.”

He was seated on Great-grand-
father Davis's old desk, and the girl
looked up at him. from the chair, her
blue eyes misting.

“John Carter, I ought to be
ashamed! I don’t believe a girl ever
had such friends before, Here's Uncle
George wanting to give me an allow-
ance so I needn't sell the place; and
you—Well, I hope some day I can re-
pay you for all you've done for us
and been to us this year. But I guess
T'll have to tell Grandma myself. It
Seems, somehow, as if I ought” to;
but if my courage deserts me at the
last moment I'll make an ignominious
retre# and send for you. Now that’s
enough of my troubles for one day.
Let’s hear yours for a change.”

Late that afternoon when Char-
mian returned from a call at the
Merrys’, she found Grandma, bright-
eyed, at the window.

“T've been been gallivanting,” she
explained as the girl kissed her. “Just
after you started, along came the
doctor and made me go for a ride.
We've been clear to Eastboro, and I
don't feel one mite tired. I will say
that his car's a sight more comfort-
able than Edward Howe's was.”

“I’m glad you've had such a good
time,” smiled Charmian. “Mrs.
Merry has a new picture of the baby;
and Madge wrote that she'd send me
another view. He's terribly cunning
—looks for all the world like a min-
jature George. What do you want
for supper, Grandma? It’s almost
time.”

Engish hy Scouts To Visit. ikea

Will Spend Six Weeks In Roughing
It Over Mountain Trails

With three “billy cans” and two
Saucepans, home made tents and
rubber ground sheets, and only two
blankets apiece, 16 members of the
9th troop of Boy Scouts, Leeds, Eng-
land, passed through Winnipeg re-
cently over the lines of the Canadian
National Railways for Jasper Na-
tional Park, where they will spend
six weeks in “roughing it’ over the
trails of this famous game sanctuary.
The boys, who are all pupils of the
Leeds Modern Grammar School, are
in charge of Dr. G. F. Norton, head-
master of the. school, and arrived in
Canada on the S.S. Megantic. After
visiting Ottawa, they took train for
the west and, enroute, have cooked
their own metls, used their own
blankets and made up their own
berths.

When tHe boys arrive in Jasper,
they will leave the main roads and
hike into the back country, carrying
their food on their backs. Tentative
trips have been planned to the Ma-
ligne Lake district and to the famoys
Columbia Ice Fields. Possibly a climb
of Mount Edith Cavell may be at-
tempted, as there are a number of
enthusiastic alpinists in the party
and, although the main object of the
visit is to explore the districts not
generally visited by tourists, a day
or so may be set aside for the ascent.

On leaying Winnipeg, the boys
were eagerly looking forward to a
period of “real roughing it” in the
Canadian Rockies.

Northern Trapper and Two Sons
Battle For Life In Treacherous

Thrown into the water when their

curler in Western Canada. Before go-
ing into the hinterland some yeara
ago, he was well-known in bonspiel
circles in Winnipeg and other cities,
and was a member of several win-
ning rinks.

The trapper and his sons were en
route from Mile 137, on the Hudson
Bay Railway, to Nelson House, and
were going north with supplies and
equipment for the trapping season.
They were travelling in a large
freight canoe which was being tow-
ed by another craft powered with
an outboard motor.

It was while negotiating a stretch
of “white water” about a day and a
half out of Nelson House that the
mishap occurred. The canoe with
the engine slackened speed for a
few seconds in the churning water,

causing Mr. Clee’s canoe to run
loose on the tow line. The speed
with which the engine picked up

momentum jerked the tow rope so
hard that the second canoe was
whirled about and capsized.

Battling in the stream amid the
knapsacks and the parcels which
had been thrown from the canoe, Mr.
Clee noticed his elder son swimming
nearby, but could not see the young-
er lad. With difficulty, the father
dived under the capsized craft, but
could not find any trace of the boy.
When he rose to the surface, how-
ever, he was delighted to see the lad
perched on top of the canoe,

After some manoeuvring the three
managed to get the canoe to shore.
Considerable winter supplies wera
lost in the rapids, including Mr.
Clee's personal knapsack, containing
a sum of money. The party arrived
at Nelson House at treaty paying
time, when details of the escape be-
came known.

New Northern Air Route

From Scotland To Winnipeg By Air
Seems a Possibility

The leader of the British Arctic
Air Route Expedition, H. G. Wat-
kins, makes out a good case for air
travel from Scotland to Winnipeg
by way of Greenland. On the line
lie the Faroe Islands and Iceland,
and nowhere are there more than
three hundred miles of water to be
flown. There are, of course, the
handicaps of fog and the Greenland
ice cap with its menace to aviators.
The Air Ministry is making a survey
of flying conditions between the
Faroes and Iceland. The expedition
will winter in Greenland, spending
their time on the highest part for
meteorological research. Canada will
be expected to supply details about
the crossing of Davis Strait and Baf-
fin Land, and the feasibility of a
route thence to Southampton Island,
Hudson Bay, down to Fort Churchill,
and thence to Winnipeg. Mr. Watkins
predicts that they will do “novel and
exciting work” in Greenland, ‘And It
thé famous ice cap presents no seri-
ous obstacle to aviators, the pros-
pects for an air route from Scotland
to Winnipeg will begin to look bright.

Largest Bridge In the World

Bridge Being Built At Sydney, Aus-
tralia, Will Be Completed Soon

A man stepped recently across a
&reat span which, when completed,
will be the largest bridge in the
world. The bridge is being built at
Sydney, Australia.

He was the chief engineer of Dor-
man Long and Company, who are
building a bridge across Sydney's
beautiful harbor. He stepped across
@ gap 42 inches from one section of
the main arch to the other.

The bridge stretches between the
abutment towers over the channel to
the width of 1,675 feet, and its total
length from Dawes Point south to
Milson's Point north will be 3,870
fect, Even at high tide {ts headway
will be 170 feet to allow the passage
of large vessels underneath.

‘The bridge will carry a roadway 57
feet wide, four railway lines and two
foot-walks each ten feet wide. The
cost will be about six million pounds
sterling, or approximately $29,220,-
000. It will be ready for traffic, if all
goes well, before the end of 1930.
