"What?" asked Gerald sulkily.
"Ever heard me speakof Gen- eral Wu-Tao-Ling?"
"I think so. why?”
"Because he's back in the hills, my dear Havelcck. Because he's left Tan Pu alone hitherto because he chooses to onslder himself a friend of mine. Because I took the trouble to encourage him in that belief. It wasn't awfully difficult. Hels a geni- al biaokguard in his way. with a fine taste in drinks; talks English fluently if inaccurately; and 1.; .1. most certainly an Enurasiqn,"
"Well?"
"I'm only advising you to keep a weather eye lifting towards the hills -like the psalmist in the proverb. He may take departure as a heaven- sent opportunity. and try to get. fresh. And you can't fight hl.rn you know. He has about a couple hund- red men-and most of 'em can shoot more than a, bit."
Gerald walked up and down the room uneasily. biting his lips.
"it never struck you that it was a bit late in the day to tell me this?" he said at last. ,
"I only knew that he was back from his expedition to the east- three days ago.” said Leslie. "And till to-day--"
"Till to-day." Gerald repeated. "it. was your private business! I sup- pose you wanted your last ounce of authority!”
But Leslie by now had h.is temper well in hand. , .
"Im used to lt." he said cooly.
”How amusing." said Gerald Havelock.
THE TRUMP CARD IS PLAYED
Leslie's eyebrows went up.
"Amusing? I don't see how partl- culariy."
”Don'i: you? You're going to. I find it extremely entettaining-
1 that you should have thought your- lsell the almighty boss of this stat-
ion all these wcelcs."
”I think." Said Leslie, ”that you'd better explain what. you mean.”
"I will, with pleasure." Gerald Havelock pulled out his pocket book, and took from it a rather dirtled envelope. which Dale recognized as official llarwood and Greer stag- ionery. "This letter tells ycu that I am alld have been officially in charge of the station at Ten Fu from the moment of my arrival."
"lVha.t!"
"I didn't mean to tell you. It sh:-Jag me that it might give you rather a shock. and I was grateful to you. But yowve been overdolng the heavy father act. so you may as well know the truth. I'm afraid head office must have thought that you were overdoln.g your precious authority." r
"So that was it." muttered Leslie.
"It was." agreed Gerald cheer- fully. "I-fere”s your letter."
He held it out. Leslie Dale took it, turned it over two or three times between his fingers. Then with .1 single violent movement ripped it across, and let the pieces fall to the floor.
"I imagine,"
he said quietly,

CHAPTER VII CHILDISH TRIUMPH
For it moment or two Gerald
Hal-clock stared uncertainly at the
torn scraps of paper litterim; the
floor about Dales riding boots.
In his mind was 9. queer mixture
of feelings: an almost scllrcolboylsll
cxultation in having exploded his
bomb; a quite childish pleasure in the realization of just how deeply hurt
were the feelings of the man whom
he had come so to-dislike: and a
most irritating yet irresistible sense
of shame for his own behaviour.
For Gerald I-lavellcck. however
much of a weaklin-g. was not in the very least a villain. Nor did he share the essentially modem vice of ingratitude. And he admitted to
himself that but for Leslie Dale
those last weeks irl Tan Pu would
have been quite intolerable both for himself and for Sheila.
Sheila! What was she going to say when she found out what had happened? He didn't believe that she liked Leslie Dale any better than he did himself-but she was very practical. She would pclnt out that to quarrel openly with Leslie Dale was not very sensible for a newcomer to the firm and the coun- try; that once back at head office a man of Dale's ex'perience and re- cord wouldn't have much difficulty in turning the tables on a green- hol'n..
"I'm sorry." he said impluslvcly. "l'm afraid I lost my temper. I ought to have held my tongue."
Leslie Dale's glance-mcmposed as
it was of scorn, and an anger as rare as it was genuine-shrivelled him. ”You ought to have given me the letter the moment you arrived, as you very well know. Then I shogld have known what. to do."
"I was told to act on my own discretion." answered Gerald in a low voice."
you haven't got?" sna-pped Dale.
down to the bone with a vengeance.
"I can only say I'm sorry," he muttered weakly. V
"O dry up. Havelock, and run away! You're hours late at the of- fice as it gs-and I've my packing to finish."
And Leslie Dale swept up an almful of books and papers. strode across into his bedroom. and slam- mcd the door behind him.
Gerald Havelock stared gloomily at the blanlcly. unresponsive sur- face of that door. and gnawed nerv- ously at a scrap of dried skin on his right thumb. I
His wiiels voice interrupted his his gloomy reverie. "I thought I heard you go out. Gerry."
.She stood ill the doorway of her own room. as smart and appealing ns a. fnsllion plate. wearing a white drill coat and skirt. moat elegantly cut. white silk stockings. white buckskin shoes with ridiculously high heels. nnd a smart. importin- ent scarlet vliat, whch gave the im- presslcn of being clamped to the side of her head. It would have been difficult to imagine a greater con- trast than she presented to the rather bedragged girl in the kimono of ten minutes before. And some- thing tugged at Gerald Haveiock's heart-strings as he looked at her. She looked so pretty! so young! so utterly adorable! And she seem- ed so many interminable miles away from him She had been ever .since they had first come .to this infernal station: since she had kept. away from him in a room of her own: since she had realised him to be lncompetent,as a man" of affairs. against the yardstick prvvldod by Leslie Dale's , natlva effici- ency.

Fredericton and - wand
Mr. Elwood weeks was a visitor to the city on Monday.
Mr. Hensley Higgins was a visitor to Charlottetown on Tuesday.
Weekend motorists to the city included Mr. and Mrs. F. W. cut- cliffe, Mr. and Mrs. N.A. Gutcliffe, Mr. and Mrs. Melville weeks. Ar- thur Weeks and Ben Outcliffe.
L... The many friends of Mrs. N.S.J. Murray regret to hear of her con- tinued lllness. Mrs. Murray is one of our oldest and -highly respected residents, and all wl.sh her a re- turn to good health.
The follcwlng students have re- turned to P. W. C. after spending their holidays at their homes in Fredericton: Lloyd Cutcllffe, Elean- or Weeks. Dulcle Morrison. Norma Pound. and Catherine Buchanan.
Mr. George Pound and Ma-. Wood- roe Jackson who are employed on the mainland for the winter months spent the holidays at their homes in Fredericton. Mrs. Jackson. Mrs. Pound and little son Lowell Albert accompanied them on return. Those young ladies will be missed in our community. but all look forward to having them with us again in the spring.
What might have been a. serious accident occurred just east of Broolrfield on Monday. Mar. Hyatt Haslam,, Fmdericton, acccmpanied by his father, Mr. Everett I-laslam. Hunter River, was returning from Charlottetown when they met a truck driven by a Mr. Newport of Springvale. slippery. and apparently the driver had lost control of his truck clue to the icy condition of the highway. Mr. "aslam stopped hb car thus avoiding a more serious accident. as it was the truck crashed into the car causing considerable dam- age. Mr. I-fvaslam escaped injury, but his father had to receive med- ical treatment.

NOTES
THE CIIUIOII AND Till TEMPIEII-ANCI QUESTION As there have been changes in governmental policy, so also. the attitude of the churches this question has varied. During the half century the Roman Catholic opposition to the beverage alcohol trade. in general, and to the over- consumpticn of beer. wine and spirits. in particular, has been strengthened. The late Cardinal viileneuve and the bishops of Quebec who served under him is- sued one of the strongest and most carefully reasoned atatem is against the evil of lntemper nee ever produced by any North Am- erican church." Today Roman Catholic societies that promote voluntary total abstinence are ef- fective. in Quebec. This good work is being extended by the Roman. Catholic Communion -into New Brunswick and Ontario. .Cardinal McGulgan's assistant bishop. Webster. rarely misses an oppor- tunity to present arguments in favour of total abstinence. Arch- bishop Vachon of Ottawa is a strong temperance leader. The in- fluence of such men us Webster and Vachon is considerable. There has been a clarification of views concerning temperance in the Church of Ilmgland hi Canada and more recently this Communion has stressed the val- ues of voluntary total -r ”
as commended in an early Laxnbath Conference report. In some local option areas the Church of Eng- land clergy and member: Joined their brethren in opposing any extension of the beverage alcohol business. The late Primate Owen more than once expressed deep concern about Canada's mount- ing liquor bill. and the present Primate has expressed similar concern. Efforts to have the Sy- nod of Toronto approve of Ontar- io's freer sale policy have been nude on at least three occasions, but elxery time thesel efforts have been defelted.
The votes against them have revealed a strong majority of sy- nod members in favour of reason- able restrictlons. Excellent mater- ial on the temperance question has been furnished to Church of England clergy by that Commun- ionis Ccunfll of social Service.
The Piresbyterlan Church in Canada's temperance policy is closely related to that pf the Presbyterian Church U. S. A. This
expression of concern for the four million problem drinkers in the United States. Over-indulgence is regarded as an illness; modera- tion is looked upon as "some- times a prelude to excessive drink- ing and inebriety." Voluntary ab- stinence is commended as a Chris- tian standard.
some Moderators of the Pres- byterian Church in Canada, in- cluding the immediate put Mod- crator. Very Rev. C. L. Cowan of Hamilton, are among Canada's most vigorous temperance leaders. Dr. Cowan. during his year. of of- fice. on more than one occasion. strongly attacked the liquor traf- fic, condemned social drinking and called upon his people to be more concerned about the pro- motion of a sane and reasonable temperance program.
The Baptists and United Chur- ches have been and are in the vanguard of temperance leader- ship in Canada. Both of these Communions give I. prominent place to this question in their chuacll courts. Baptist and United Church ministers address .many temperance meetings. preach in number of temperance sermons and are prominent on church delegations io provincial and fed eral governments. '
