PLACE NO VALUE ON WOMEN
Ruthenians Settled in Canada Ap.
paIIingly NegIectful Of Their Wives
and Girl Children.

Little value is placed by Ruthenians
in several settlements in Manitoba
on the lives of women or on the lives
of girl babies, according to Miss M.
Ard Mackenzie, dominion superinten-
dent of the Victorian Order of Nurses,
which is devoting its attention to ru-
raj districts, Winnipeg correspond
ent of the St. Paul Pioneer Press
writes.
Neglect of women and child life in
several of these settlements is ap
palling," Miss Mackenzie said in the
course of a recent address here.
"a typical instance was a case
where an English settler advised a
Ruthenian to have a doctor to attend
his sick wife What exclaimed the
man, that would cost money and
can get new wife for S..
1T is a rare thing for widower
to delay getting a new wife for more
than six weeks,

ness ard allowed to die without any
particular effort being made to save
them"
The order has undertaken extensive
visiting nurse work in rural commune
ties, and Miss Mackenzie says excel
lent results are being attained.

Richard and his father had really
never agreed. Their antagonism
worried gentle Mrs. Cameron. She
loved her son. and she loved her hus.

mystified her

say to her husband, and when he

would tell Richard, and when the

sigh, Perhaps you are too much like
him. You both have the same high
tempers. and that is the cause of all
the trouble"
When the Chalmers came to live in
the big house next door to the Cam

nice to them. There is plenty of
money and influence over there. and
they have a daughter. You can't do
better than see something of her,
Dick"
II know plenty of girls" Richard
asserted, without having the one

Who's throwing her at your head?"
the old man demanded.
"Oh, dear!" Mrs Cameron threw up
her hands. she really seems a
very sweet girl"

Richard said. 1T is bad enough to

He flung himself out of the room,

each other. The captain boarded at
Widow Jerrold's house when his ship
was in port

I said to Widow Jerrold.

shy smile. 1t will be good thing
for him, perhaps"

That was true enough. Captain Is

Everybody could see it in his manner.
When his mate let the rope slip and a
box of blankets went overheard down
among the lobster pots, the captain
turned CLASSY eye on him.
"You-you-you please be so kind
as to be bit more cautious, Mr..
Ford" he said.
AVE. sir" said the mate, trembling
in his shoes.
Captain Israel was on the reforming
tack. He drank nothing but milk and
t,-ley water, and his speech was as
mid as a pet lambs. He came into
port with a dirty ship and mutinous
crew, and calling them all mister.
He was very much distressed that
evening when he came back from
Widow Abigail's.
"She isn't satisfied yet" he told
Widow Jerrold. She says | got to
stop smoking too. smoked since

was the only boarder left that sum-
mer. and l watched them intently.
Something seemed to be in Widow
Jerrold's mind, but l wasn't sure what
it was. Certainly Widow Jerrold was
good woman; she had been a great
consolation to Captain Israel in his
times of trouble, and she was always
urging him to try to make himself
worthy Of Widow Abigail, although the
two women weren't on speaking
terms.
The next time Captain Israel came
home l never saw such a change in
any man. He had lost a good many
pounds, his face was pale and his eyes
sunken, and his voice had become .
husky rattle.
Widow Abigail says I've got to
put myself to another test" he said.
She don't believe it's genuine. She
says she can't marry a man she amt
sure Of, and how does she know
don't drink and smoke and cuss when
I'm aboard, and then put on all the
new ways for her She says I've got
to go and live with her sister, Mrs.
Primm"
l sympathized deeply with Captain
Israel. He had been so cozy and COM
Portable for years at Widow Jerrold's,
and now he had to take up his quar-
tiers with Mrs. Primm, another of Bid
deford's ancient families. Mrs. Primm
was stricter even than Widow Abb
gail, and she could scent pun Of q
cigarette across ten-acre field.
She'll lose him If she drives him
too hard" l said to Widow Jerrold.
l shall never forget the enigmatical
smile with which she favored me.
Some women know when they're
well off, and some don't" she an
swered.
The captain took it very hard, but
Widow Abigail was adamant. saw
him standing miserably in the middle
of his room, looking about him at his
trophies. There was the cabinet Of
shells that he had brought from the
Bahamas, and the whales tooth, and
shark-skin whip. the assegais from
Zululand and the warclubs from the
Solomons. The captains personal
possessions were wrapped in little
bundle; they were the least of all.
Widow Jerrold came downstairs
Can help you to pack, Captain Is
rael?' she inquired in her mouse-like
way.
Mono, thank you,' he stammered
Il take it hard. Mrs. Jerrold, but-Tm
going. There's nothing you can do"
Widow Jerrold looked at the cap
tain in singular way. He looked at
her, and in that moment think the
scales fell from his eyes. He saw the
coy little room. and the matronly ing
ure at his side-and then. think, he
saw Widow Abigail, with her angry
glare.
why don't you stay. Captain Is
rael?' asked Widow Jerrold.
Somebody slammed the door. Pres

When Captain Israel comes home he

out over the sea, and all who pass
cringe, for they know him for the
worst buckle captain af1oat. Only at
home is he changed man. When his
eye lights upon Mrs. Israel he speaks
