Life insurance executives are
amazed at the great production OF
new business so far this year.
There was a prediction that there
would be slowing down after the
first of the year. This has not
been the case. In many home Of
fees 1t Is simply impossible to
keep UP with the procession. COM
panies are swamped with new
business. Agencies that have been
producing at the rate of $3,0o0.0O0
a year came forward in January
with 81, ,000, 900 of business. The in
creases came from all sections. OF
course 1919 was a banner year. II
1920 continues as 1t Is it will again
break records. ..
Undoubtedly the recurrence of the
inhuenza-pneumon epidemic has
awakened the minds of the people
to the need of greater protection.
The increasing cost of living, the
fact that prices are still going up
and the knowledge that ones life
insurance that was provided a few
years ago will not nearly meet the
demands has been another great
incentive in buying. Then again.

Ownership
o7o@@o5o

Ownership can be ac-
quired by all-cash purchase,
at a price fully 1910 less
than a house of equal grade
and environment, or upon
convenient terms with a
modest initial payment.
These payments, including
the carrying charges and
your proportionate share of
maintenance and operating
expense of the property,
will not equal the nor
NAL rental of the apart
ment. Thus the economic
phases of the proposition
make strong appeal to the
thinking investor, and the
domestic advantages weigh
convincingly in its favor.

hustle OF multitude OF bees. arm
ing and ready TO swarm out OF their
hives.
The insurgents win the battle and
Waverley captures a brave English
officer. who remains alone beside his
cannon after the others have fed.
This officer turns out 10 be a certain
Col. Talbot. an old friend OF the
house OF Waverley, whom Edward
has never met before. Col. Talbot
has left an invalid wife in order 10
find Waverley and TO induce him TO
return home. since his conduct has
put the entire Waverley family into
danger.
When Edward learns that Col. Tai
bots Imprisonment is likely 10 cost
the life OF his sick wife, he obtains
the coloners release. In return for
this kindness. Col. Talbot promises
TO intercede with the English king
in Waverley's behalf The way for
such a plea has fortunately been
paved by the revelation Of some OF
the mysteries attending the arrest
OF Waverley for desertion and trea-
son. BY means OF packet Of letters,
which Donald Bean Leans daughter
has slipped into Edwards baggage,
he learns that her father, the High
land robber, being in the service Of
Prince Charles Edward. and wishing
to gain favor in his eyes. has con-
c"cted a plot, whereby the British
government was led 10 believe that
Naverley was a traitor. thereby
forcing him into the army of the
insurgent prince. Only one question
now remains unexplained. Who was
the girl that nursed him during his
fever in the peasants hut2
Before the solution is found 10
this question, the insurgent army is
totally defeated. Fergus MacIvor is
captured. the prince escapes, and
Waverley, who is now also a fugi-
tive, pays a secret visit 10 the man
sion OF the Baron of Brawardine for
he is anxious 10 learn about the fate
of some of his friends. He finds the
baron in hiding in that self-same
hut. where he had been nurSed dur

ing his fever. Here he learns that
IL was Rose Brawardine who nursed
him. II was Rose, also, who had
paid Donald Bean Lean with her
mothers jewelry in order 10 induce
him TO rescue Waverley after his
arrest for treason. Overcome with
gratitude Of such devotion. Edward
asks the Baron OF Bradwardine for
his daughters hand. he can now
marry her In security. for. thanks
TO the kindness Of Col Talbot and
other influential Englishmen, both
he and the baron have been par
doned.
It takes the loQuacious baron an
hour to tell Rose of Edwards love
for her. It takes Edward just five
minutes 10 convince her OF il.
Their happiness would now be
complete but for the sad fate Of
Fergus Mac-TvOr. who has been con-
demned 10 death. He faces the ex-
ecutioner unhinChingly. expressing no
regret for his fate, but only the hope
that they Will set my head on the
Scotch gate, that 1 may look. even
after death. 10 the blue hills Of my
own country. which ] love so dearly"
With this shadow 10 mar the sun
shine OF their happiness, Edward and
Rose are married.
Thus we come 70 the end Of the
romantic tale. and we must again
return 10 the drab reality of our
everyday existence. But before so
doing. let us. together with Flora
