just without a parcel. Opening it, he
disclosed complement of underwe ear,
socks, shirt collar and tie. There was
also cap. Again he experienced an
uncomfortable feeling of gratitude and
shame for accepting, perforce. so
much from woman. In closet at
the end of the hall he had unearthed
an old wooden clothes-tub. He filed
it at the hydrant, carried it to his
room, and stripped and enjoyed cold

EASTERN CANADA UNDER ICE
Professor Asserts 1t Was Covered
Mile Deep Forty Thousand
Years Ago.

Prof. A. r. Coleman Of the faculty
Of applied science and engineering Of
the University Of Toronto, whose
hobby is studying the ice age, and who
has toured many countries In his re-
search work believes the ice age was
present In Canada about 10000 years
ago. AS result of his inspection
Of the rock and mountains Of the ter
ritory of Gaspe, In eastern Canada,
where there are valuable fishing
grounds, he had been convinced that
the ice which has covered that part Of
Canada to depth Of about mile,
never passed over that portion Of east
ern Canada.
The Shick-Shock mountains, which
are really continuation Of the Appa-
lachian range, are the backbone Of
Gaspe, and the highest land Of eastern
Canada. Professor Coleman did find,
however, that a great glacial sheet
had filled the Gulf of the st. Law
renee. He has also found that the
front range Of the Rocky mountains
has been pushed seven miles into the
prairie.
Professor Coleman was probably one
Of the first scientists to visit Gaspe,
despite the fact that the French land
ed there centuries ago.

Fate

There has always been passionate
protest In the heart of the race against
that element in life which men caA
fate; the play upon unprotected
natures Of those events, accidents,
calamities, which are beyond human
control. These arbitrary happenings
are often tragic In their consequences;
they often seem wholly irrationsl;
they have at times a touch Of brutal
irony. In many cases one is tempted
to personify fate as malignant spirit,
studiously and with malicious cunning
seeking ways Of wounding, singing,
bruising and poisoning the most sen
eitive souls. There have been human
careers SO completely distorted and
thwarted that it has seemed as If the
gods are jealous of men, and anxious
to rob the great rewards Of their
sweetness and the noblest achieve
ments Of their fruit.
