IN SEPTEMBER, 1914, youth who
~ was employed near Philadelphia
decided that he wanted to take up arms in
defense of his country-Great Britain. He
gave up his position and went to Toronto,
where he enlisted in the Canadian overseas
expedition.
After being wounded twice during
fourteen months service in France and
Belgium, he was pronounced physically
unfit for further service and given his
discharge.
In tomorow's Public Ledger he gives
the thrilling account Of his adventures and
experiences in those SHELTON countries.

The Tragedy of Thos. FIearne
CONTINUED from page 81

1t was at three o'clock on Tuesday,
May 9, that Julius Craig escaped
Poor devil! if he had but knowni
Hearne and I had quarreled that
morning over the fog question. Per
haps both our tempers were wearing
thin, but that was no excuse for his
dropping from argument to insults. l
dare say he thought my language just
as bad; but that didn't make the trou-
bic any lighter. There was fog IN
the air, he said, though even the land
lord laughed at the idea when l put
the question to him. Finally the old
man walked off in huff, though had
so far given way as to promise that
1 would bring the cart to the ruins by
lunch time.
I sulked about the inn until the
papers came from Plymouth. When
I had finished reading them it was
nigh one o'clock. A leg of lamb was
cooking in the kitchen. Just because
Hearne preferred cold ham sand
witches or draughty hill there was no
reason why I should not have my
meal in comfort. I would lunch be-
fore I started, and he could wait for
his sandwiches.
1t was selfish thing to do, but
he had irritated me that morning
more than l now can understand.
/ was finishing off with cheese when
the landlord thrust his head through
the door of my sitting room.
81 gave a fools wisdom this morn
ing, SIR" he said "The fog be blow
ing up proper from the eastward. Pm,
feared that Mr.. Hearne-"
He got no further, for 1 was past
him like flash and out into the open
The moors had gone; utterly van
ished away. In their place there
lay a blanket of billo8y white that
sent wild streamers upwards to the
flying veil of clouds. Only a quarter
mile of the main road was visible,
and up it the first wave of the misty
humiliation was marching like a lofty
wall. I ran toward the stable, ours
ing myself In my mad disappoint-
ment.
1 gaIloped for 200 yards, and then
the fog gathered me TO itself, and 1
had just enough sense to pull the
horse to a slow trot.
