The statement was an admirable survey and summary of the situation, and made Freelands part. of it easy. But before he could make answer she continued:

"He'll do that, Mrs. Coles, or I'm ‘irough with him," said Freeland _uietiy. "And that's all there is to it v far as I'm concerned."

"Coles's dinner." observed Mrs. Joles, with a wave of her hand. "Plenty of vegetables 'e likes, 'e does, an’ will ‘ave. Says they should be in everythink. They're good for the blood; and turnips, they helps a bad] emper. Coles, ’e‘s got one, but it

l'm't bother me. It tikes two to iakeaquarrel."

Freeland found himself being .ttracted towards this lump oi hrewdness, good natured and i

ommon sense, and blessed his stars - .e had found her to deal with in- tead of the absent, peppery. and cgetable-loving Goles.

Voices crossed the little passage. ind when Mrs. Coles, with pride, threw open the door of the little sitting-room which smelled of laven- der and thyme arid was profusely trimmed with snowy white and stiifly starched, crotcheted anti- macassars and mats, they found the young couple.

Edie had been crying, but her ex- pression was happier than it had been for along time. Tom looked sheeplsh and uncomfortable. Mrs. Coles included him in a friendly nod.

"You've been as good as your word, Tom. This fewer of yours is the rite sort. Edie, comc and shake ‘ands w-iv your favver-in-law."

Edie looked queerly into Freelandk face. 1t was very grave, but there was no harshness init. Torn had Jed toher, she concluded. having wiislstcntly represented his father as the worst kind of orge. who.| learning the truth, would cut him off with the proverbial shilling, and act generally as the heavy father in

- melodrama is expected to act. |

Something in the girl that was true and straight rose to meet the same quality 1n Freeland, and she advanc- ed holding out a shy hand.

"I'm sorry," she said simply. "1 dlchft mean to make trouble in the family. Please don't be very angry with Tom?"

The appeal, a trifle crude, rang true and touched Freeland more than he showed. He let his hand drop rather heavily on the girl's shoulder. "I'm sorry, too, my lass. that a son oi mine should have made this pain- ful meeting necessary. But we'll do what we can to patch up things. Have you and Tom settled it?"

She nodded. Tom walked to the window and looked out. Hc was not unhappy, nay. the better part (if-him. the real man, rejoiced. fle still cared, as far as a shallow nature like his could care, for Edie, and now ‘that his father's strong hand was ready to smooth the way, he was willing to be legislated for. He cut rather a sorry figure, however. His father and Mrs. Coles had the best oi that summer morning in the cottage garden at ‘Tatton-cum-Rcgis.

said about him. An orge or a blue- beard I expected to see. He's ever so nice. If only his mother—'" '

The motor flew across country to- wards Basiiigfold again, carrying happier hearts. But there were still obstacles in front-the‘ mother to be told! It. was the uppermost thought in both their minds, and when the motor belched into the mill yard, Freeland voiced it. ,

“Twenty minutes to one. you've a good half-hour before dinner-time. You'd better go into the house now and tell your mother."

Tom affected w be very buss‘ about the bonnet of his engine.

"Do you hear?" his father said a trifle stemly. "Leave the thing here. Go and get your overalls off tell your mother."

"I can't.’ said Tom stiffiy. “She wouldn't do anything to heiy a chap. She'll make me wish I'd never been born."

It was on the tip of‘ Freelandb tongue to say that he had no right nor cause to speak of his mother like

that, since she had indulged and'

pelted him far in excess oi the others. No doubt part of that inJudicious tpolling was the harvest of w-day.

"You're a poor object, 1pm." his father said, with a faintly curling lip. "And I don't see -how you're going to got through life with credit; if you're expecting other folk to be doing your dirty work for you all the time."

'lt was a scathing utterance which, had Tom been of finer fibre, would have made him shrivel up. All he cared for at the moment was that he had shifted the ghastly task on to his father's shoulders.

Freeland strode across the yard, ‘went through the door in the wall to- wards the house , determined to be done with the unszivoury story at once, and for all. He found his wife in the dining-radii. writing letters. with a whole paraphernalia of cor- resporidenoe scattered over the table

ty ‘n the United states came to its sorry end. Everiat the height of that fabulous prosperity unemployment was heavy. It had been increasing ever since 1922.

Within two months after the crash in the autumn of lastyear factory gates and office doors closed suddenly against millions more who until then had known fairly regular employ- ment. Not only the large industrial- ists and merchants but the small shopkeepers were forced to dismiss their employees and ivrilt for better times.

Hogs were steady at $9.50 to $9.75 for bacons and butchers fcd and wat- cred, with 8i premium per hog on se-

FAMOUS ACADEMY IS CLOSING DOORS

ency Committee for Unemployment described the position as the most , discouraging since 1900. Already men who wait before dawn outside the gates of factories in the northern c‘.t- , ies in hope of a job have to wrap their

feet in sacking to prevent them from i freezing as they stand. Salvation Ar- ' riiy investigators in New York report i hat, with the temperature at 20 de- ' grces below freezing-point,’ stocks of ' fuel among the families of the unem- ployed are becoming exhausted and there is no money to buy more. Their lighting is being cut off since they can no longer pay the bills. There are families iii New York wh/o keep their children in bed all day because it is the only way to keep them warm. Doctors and officers of public health announce that the condition of the unemployed is rcachng a point where a dangerous spread of disease is to be expected. In cities from coast to coast the breadlines are crowded ' with half-starved people.

Clerks as Manual Labourers

On the night, of November 28. i929 the Municipal Lodging House in New York sheltered 544 people. Nobody had to be fed. On November 28 this year the Lodging House sheltered l,- 583 and fed 3,916. This in spite of the large number of other free food de- pots establshcd all over the city this year. In San Francisco and Philadel- phia new lodging houses are being hastily completed to give shelter to thousands before Christmas. In Chl- cago the huge old County Gaol has been‘ thrown open for the same pur-

. 'I‘he "white collar classes" are being forced to abandon their class and to pose as manual labourers, rthinking there is more chance of a job that way.

One of the largest employment ag- encies in New York iepoi-ted that in

"cunry, 1929, the number of men who applied for every 100 jobs on the

agency's lists was 299. By January this year it had risen to 657. In Oc- tober it was 2,861. The most general estimate of the total number of un- employed varies between 5,000,000 and 8,000,000. ‘The head oi’ the National Unemployment League puts the mini- mum iigure at 6,600,000, and believes the true figure to be nearer 8,000,000.

a figure accepted as probable by large

the situation.

Many millions more are partially very short ‘hours for very much reduced wages. i In many industries, especially build- ing, where no official wage cuts were announced, wage cuts have been in reality widespread, brought about by private negotiation between employ- ers and individual workmen. The Government of the State of Kansas reported recently that iii the indust- ries of Kansas "the employers of labour generally have taken advant- age of the surplus and dire need of many of tnose out of work by out ting wages to as low, in some instanc- es as 20c (10d) an hour. In the larg- er cities there hove been more than sufficient men willing to accept these wages."

Dole System Opposed

States and municipalities are do- ing their best to meet an emergency with which they are largely unfltted by their constitution to deal. Many of them have -made large emergency bend issues to provide for public cf a temporary character.

St. Laurent College itself is about to fall under the hammer of the wrecker, and thus the two schools will be joined ln some measure of misifortune just as for n.:iny years they enjoyed a common success.
