home two weeks before the Irish lads
infectious good nature and bright
courage found him placed. Gavin kept
up the home mansion, because he had
started practice there, when his mother
had been with him, and because it
seemed the natural thing to do. But
it had been for years IN empty place,
with only servants to give him well
come. Now, in his rare leisure hours,
Doctor Bruce found himself laughing
enjoyably over Tins shrewd humor.
'.And Why" asked the boy one night,
ibid you never marry? Some poor
woman's missed good husband"
II did not find the right one," the
doctor replied, amused, cor rather,
found the wrong one, and so remained
single"
Tim nodded. ''You'd have a hard
time finding one fine enough to speak
your language" he said and paused.
81 know one that could"
The surgeon turned, smiling, in his
chair.
''It's the writer lady," Tim told him.
The hearty laugh Of Gavin Bruce
echoed.
"A Cupid, Tim?" he asked. But Tim
was gravely serious.
cts the sweet understanding ways
Of her." he said, IAN the kindness Of
her, an maybe the blue eyes Of her,
but you can't play up Cupid to those
things, they've just got to happen,
said Tim. doctor, would you be at
ter lettin' me go to see me mother to-
morrow? I'll leave things alright in
the garage, an be back to fix the
furnace. No school Saturday, you
know"
The doctor nodded as he went to-
ward the phone. Replacing the re-
ceiver, he turned to the boy.
''That was our friend Wells" he
explained, urging me to drive out to
Baytown tomorrow, to pay him a
visit. Think I'll take the day off and
go. Like to ride home with me, Tim?"
1t was too much to expect, that a
busy surgeon would drive at evening
down to Baytown Valley, to call for
small helper. SO Tim asked that he
might be called for at the home Of the
writer lady. This was central, and it
was necessary to consult with her con-
corning his. progress.
So there Gavin Bruce, coming
through the rose of Killarney hedge,
found them. And as Constance Dare
was serving tea, the surgeon was per-
suaded to join them.
Riding home in perfumed twi-
light, the doctor spoke out of a
pleasant reverie.
II have enjoyed my day, Tim," he
said, II shall go out with you again."

The teacher, with a class Of fourth

anything but boresome. Few would be
bored If they could look over the COM

fided to the Woman. She invited her to
glance over certain choice piece Of

one, to, only when it gets tough its

New African Coal Fields,

New coal nelds have been discov-
cred in Zambesi, Africa, and a series
Of tests which have been made have
proved eminently satisfactory. Inc
tests were carried out by Belgian
engineer, on the Beira and Mashona-
land railways, at the municipal power
station, Beira, and at the harbor by
the port dredger and in all instances
the results were excellent, the coal
showing satisfactory calorifc value,
burning with a clear, bright flame,
and leaving very little ash. The sue
cess Of the tests and the fact that the
developments show many millions of
tons ready to be mined, while the
measures probably reach to within
four miles Of the Zambesi, indicate
that a great coal field lies within a
comparatively few miles of Beira.
The tremendous Importance of these
fields to the port Of Belra, assuring
the success of the Trans-Zambesi,
railway with which they will ultimate
ly be joined up by rail, can hardly
be over estimated.

TIM ASSISTING
BY JACK LAYTON
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.


Baytown was divided by it's bridge
into two different worlds. Below, in
the valley, squalor reigned, and
wickedness, while upon the beauti-
full sloping hillside were well kept
homes and orderly, worthy people.
Jimmy Ryan, lived in the valley
The doctor discovered Tim there, fol
he considered the finding of the I'm.
usual boy a discovery.
Doctor Wells had turned with q
kindly smile to the pathetically cage.
face appraised to his.
'Come and see me, Tim," he i'm.
pulsively invited. I'D like to talk to
you"
And Tim, scrubbed and mended, had
gone. That was but the beginning OF
mutually helpful visits.
II don't know" the physician told
his wife, when I have been so re.
freshed. That Irish lad is a tonic ia
tired nerves and encouragement in
human nature. His belief in PEG
pie is inspiring. How, in the depths
Of the Valley, did he come by all his
wise philosophers"
'"The last book you gave me-" Tim
was saying. "is very good book, it
Is. And it's writ by the lady that
lives on the hill. Often I've watched
her go by, and thought what might
it be like to write a whole book, 800

books that she writes? And about how
everything, by an by, will depend on

we'll be then. You got to begin with
the boys her book says"
Tim leaned forward thoughtfully
''I'm goin' up to her house, an ask
her to begin with me now. I want to
be something big, an good, maybe a
doctor. I'll ask the writer lady how
you begin"
Doctor Wells watched the small de.
termined figure down the street, then
fastened to his telephone; writer
ladies were apt to be occupied, and he
did not want Jimmy Ryan to be dis
appointed. She came, therefore, to
greet her young visitor, as he entered
the garden. Side by side, on the round
bench beneath the tree, they talked It
over. Then, while Jimmy unknow-
ing waited, the writer lady in turn
called up the wise physician. Doctor

Gavin Bruce, city surgeon, was
surprised few days later, to re-

friend, John Wells.
"And if you will take Timmy," the
letter ended, II am sure that he will

school hours, to pay for his keep. He
wants no money"

Seized Their Opportunities.


At the beginning OF the great war,
Christiania tried to husband her man
power by employing women as street
car conductors. Some objections were
raised at first, but in time the travel
ing public took real liking to the
conductorette on the ground that she
was more civil than a mere man.
Though there has been no official or
der to reinstate men, it is noticeable
that the women conductors have grad
ually disappeared. Asked what had
become Of them, the chief Of transit
in the Norwegian capital replied that
as they had constant opportunity to
meet men, so many Of them had mar.
ried that the rest had just naturally
resigned.-New York Evening Post.

Boston Pipe Arch Bridge Unique.

An engineering curiosity, said to be
unique in this country and to have
only one parallel in Europe, is the
pipe-arch bridge over the Sudbury riv-
er, which carries Boston's water sup
ply. The span is 80 feet, and the
steel pipe, III feet in diameter, rises
5k feet above the horizontal at the
center. The pressure on the abut-
ments when the pipe is filed with wa
ter is very great and is resisted by a
mass of concrete 40 feet thick behind
each abutment Across the curved
top runs :hand-railed foot bridge.
The steel Of the pipe in the arched
portion is Is of an inch In thickness.

Voice Carried $500 Miles.

BY means of the transcontinental
telephone line a connection was ex-
tended to San Francisco and thence
south to Los Angeles, where, by means
of radio telephone connection, the
circuit was extended to Catalina island,
thirty miles distant in the Pacific.
Satisfactory conversation was thus
carried on between Catalina and Cuba,
distance Of something over $500
miles. This is the greatest distance
over which commercial telephone serv-
