plots average 500 square yards in
area, and their average yield per
annum is somewhere around 81 so.
The village school, accommodate
ing 100 children, is a gift of Mr..
and Mrs. Cadbury. He has also
made a gift of 33 houses for the
poor, each one having living
room, bed room and kitchen, all on
the ground floor. These are en-
dowed with the proceeds of 3S
houses elsewhere erected by Mr.,
Cadbury-a new system Of poor"
houses.
The results of experiments on the
estates Tin all now embracing
about 100 acres) are considered
to show that there is demand for
houses with gardens (that is lawns
and vegetable gardens instead Of
the jammed up rows of tenement
property so common in BRITAIN:
that, given gardens, men will tend
them, and that the health and
wealth of the nation are thereby
greatly increased; that such
scheme makes it possible to reverse
the downward drift of population;
and that such scheme is finan-
cially practicable. AS the death
rate of those employed in the fac
tory has been less than three per
thousand for the last ten years, 1t
can be seen that this is good place
to work. In the village, the death
rate for five years was SO compared
with a rate of 40 for England and
Wales, an evidence that this is a good
place to live. Recently ! have heard
of conference of business men in
England to consider the question of
how they can apply Christian prin-
ciples in their business. Such
moves as this and the things we
have heard OF in BournevilIe are re-
freshiDg in this busy, bustling,
money grabbing age when God is so
largely forgotten and the ideal too
often is ''eyery feller for himself"

LIFE INSURANCE

At the last annual meeting of the
association of life insurance presi-
dents, announcement was made that
during the year 1928 almost twelve
billion dollars worth of insurance
had been purchased They also re-
ported that the aggregate amount
try at present is over 55 billion dol
lars. This is greater than that Of
all the other countries of the world
combined. These figures show that
life insurance has been keeping pace
with other lines OF business. Only a
few years ago small percent of
men, and very few women. carried
insurance. Now but few men who
are physically fit, are to be founC
who do not carry insurance, and the
number Of women taking out life
insurance Is greatly on the Increase
A while back all insurance agents
were looked on very largely as
nuisances, now they are REGARDED
almost as necessities.
The vast number Of people who
are taking out insurance shows that
in this age of fast living, people are
after all really giving some consid-
grafton to rainy day in putting
by part of their earnings in life
insurance. II is one of the very best
and safest investments that a per
son can make Many young people
have had the notion that life insur-
ance is for the older persons~-those
about to shuttle off. If any differ
ence the reverse is true Life in
eurance helps to develop thrift
among young people; it gives them
protection during the RECKLESS
age" and helps very materially
in the establishing Of financial
credit. Many young men have made
their way through college by means
Of having life insurance policy
Every person who can, should car
ry some insurance-not enough to
be financial burden, but an
amount should be set aside for it
the same as for any other legiti-
mate purpose. Life insurance is
not an expense---it is an investment,
with good returns, and the laws now
governing insurance companies,
make this kind of investment
among the safest.

Monty had received really been from her? and if so, how had she got to the Argentine, and why?
 He was trying to puzzle 1t all out in his mind when Dora came into the room and stood beside him.
 The faint light from the moon fell upon her beautiful face and graceful figure. She looked like a dream princess, he thought, with reluctant admiration, as he turned to speak to her.
 She smiled up into his eyes, and something in the sweep of her long lashes made him think of Mary with a sickening heart-throb.
 Was this story true about her com ing marriage? Had she indeed only played her own game with them all along-been only common adven- turess, as Fisher had hinted from the first? He could not beleive it.
 In all his life no woman had ever caused him single pang until now, He hated it because now he could not sleep or rest for thinking of her for wondering where she was and what she was doing.
 CHAPTER LII.
 Saven From an Impulse
 The woman at his side spoke in her soft voice.
 What lovely night, David, It makes one feel quite sentimental. doesn't it?"

 Edith was talking softly 10 her sis ter and whatever she said evidently was eliicacious in restoring the other girls mental poise, for it was but a little while before Lcilas sobbing ceased and she began to talk softly in her turn. And then, as if it were something that had long been on her mind, but temporarily forgotten, she lifted Ediths hand gazing at the ring finger and asked softly:

When RagTedy Ann changed old Muggins, the Magieians magical charms from bad to good magical charms, she did not know just how it would turn out, but when Muggins found out he could not work unkind magic with his charms and tried mak- ing an ice cream soda water fountain for Aunt Amy in her cunning little house, he discovered that there was pleasure in doing good things for ptopie.
 Why? I'll tell you what" Mug gins ssid 10 Raggedy Ann, T really never, never had a speck of fun doing unkind things and making other peo- pie unhappy some way or other was always unhappy myself"
 "of course!" Rsggedy Ann laughed as she gave Muggins another large piece Of Aunt Anyis lovely cake and another glass of soda water. If any one is seeking happiness. they can never expect to find it where there is any unhappiness! It's like looking for sunshine in very hard rainstorm.

 "Rsggedy Ann! believe you are right" the Magician said. "So from now On, l shall do everything 1 can to make Aunt Amy happy, for it was through my unkind magic that she was a Witch for such long time!"
 You will find it very good fun, Muggins!" Raggedy Ann said.
 Just then, all Of Aunt Amy's neigh bors came in to see her and find out where she had been for such long time. and my, weren't they surprised when they found that she had a love- Iy ics cream soda water fountain in her living room.

Her soft skirts brushed his feet the scent Of her hair seemed to fill his senses.
 For a moment he looked away. and tried to believe that it was Mary standing beside him; that he had only to put out his hand to take hers only to turn his head, and meet the shy sweetness of her eyes. When A man is in love, and un- happy. even the sympathy of a wo- man for whom he cares nothing is sweet. David might have said or done anything during the next few minutes had not Fisher saved the situation by walking Into the room and switching on the electric light.
 He stared when he saw the two at the window.
 Sorry thought the room was empty"
 He caught the scowl on his sisters face, and wondered if he had inter- rurted anything of much moment. He came forward swkwsrdly. and made some platitudinous remark about the weather.
 He would have gone away again. only he knew that it would look too pointed. He flashed g whimsically smiling apology at Dora.
 Afterwards she raved nt him.
 He would have asked me to marry him if you hadn't come blunderlnr in! You really are a perfect idiot, switching on the light in that man ner. believe you gre deliberately trying to spoil my chances"
 She broke into the usual storm of tears.
 "Just when svsrythinE was going so well. believe in his heart that he really does care for me-"
 Fisher listened unmoved.
 '1f he does, he can find a time and place to tell you SO. without sny as- sistance from me-" he said dryly.
 She stamped her foot.
 T think I am beginning to hate you!" she stormed.
 Fisher walked out Of the room.
 His sympathies were all with David. Perhaps he realized ct last something of Dora's shallowness and utter selnshness.
 He passed a restless night, won dering how he could help him; he did not for moment believe Dora's story Of having seen Mary with man. He would have liked to tell David that he did not believe it. only if seemed 90 impossible 10 give his own sister away.
 That promised letter from the Ar genuine seemed to be their only hope Of ever solving the whole mystery; but it was cold comfort to look for ward to another month Of vsiting before the mail could possibly arrive.
 David went down 10 the Red Grange for the weekend. IL sas 90 lonely. Miss Narney complained to him in one Of the many letters she wrote. Nobody knows how I miss that poor child. David. why can't you find her? Is London % very easy to hide in."
