peonnsosv. . To The conservative Electors of Prince Edward Island I I have been requested by numerous electors to allow my name to up for nomination for Party Leadership at the Provincial Convention Juna Ztith next and have consented so to do. At this time I desire to introduce myself to you and to place before you my qualifications and record with the Conservative Party. Since the 191'! election i have been an active organiser and worker I every election and a candidate for Second Queen's in the past three general provincial elections. in l939 I was asked to run in the strong Liberal district of Second Queen's on the Councillor ballot. In 1935 elec- tion the Liberal candidate, and my opponent in 1839. had a. majority of some three hundred and forty-five votes on the property ballot. in I939 I cut that majority to nothing and have never been beaten in a general election since. Despite the fact that a Liberal Glsvca ent was strongly returned in the past three general elections, I have increased my majority in each election and second Que.-en's is. after a great many years. a Conservative riding. being the only rural riding to return two Conservative candidates in the past two elections. I was born on a form forty-eight years ago and have always been interested in agriculture. As representing one of the leading agricultural districts in the Province. and to better acquaint myself with the farm- srs' problems. some four years ago, I actively engaged in farming oper- ations. and. in addition to my legal business at Charlottetown. am now personally operating over two hundred acres of land at New Glasgow and lllnyfrelri and where Lreside with my wife and two children six months of the year. I have been raising Shorthorn cattle for the past eight years. now having a herd of forty head. I am a member of the Farmers Federation. the Shorthorn Breeders Association. and Swine Breeders Association. I have resided in Charlottetown for over thirty years and have always taken an interest in all.matters dealing with Civic affairs and improvements. I have been a member of the Board of Trade for over twenty years and was its President in 1937. With the above experience with all classes of our people. I humbly feel that 1 have some qualifications for the difficult and onerous position that is to be the lot of some one on June 29th. i feel that the time is ripe for a vigorous and fighting Conservative Campaign and l. for one. whether the leader or not. will do my part to aid in the return of sound Government to this Province under Conservative rule.

"I really should have a hobby to amuse me." it was not in the least what she had intended to say. She had meant to tell him of Miss Endl- cott'.s mysterious investments and her insane recklessness in keep- ing so much of her wealth in an old-fashioned "strong-box" in the house, but her opportunity for the time at least was gone. On the way back to the hotel Frances was silent and apparently bored, and it was not until they were parting st Gloria's door that she mentioned Jack Moreisnd. "I see you have my old friend. Jack Moreland. He is a dear boy. but the most irresponsible cres- ture. Have you known him Ions?" "Not. very long," Then Gloria surprised herself. I don't think he is as irresponsible as he likes to appear," she said quickly. "He was very helpful to me-at the tune my uncle died." It was late the next mornin! when Gloria awakened and for a while she lay there, her mind drowsily picking up one thing after another that had happened this night before. The oddest thing was Jackls appearance. and the most unpleasant was the feeling that Frances had been deliberately lis- tening to them, on the other side of the palms. Gloria considered that soberly, Frances had been rather difficult of late, moody. im- patient and even scornful. It was as if she were forcing herself to some unpleasant task. when her breakfast tray came it bore 3 huge cluster of violets with Jack's card. Gloria did not kn-1W that Frances, too restless for late sleeping. had seen Cecil take vio- lets and card from their box and had gone back to her own room in silent fury. Gloria held them off for a moment and looked at them Then she smiled as she dalntlly arranged them on the tray again. Violets for breakfast and from one's husband. It was rather nice. XVIII AN LADBBOKE BLACK There were letters on Gloria's breakfast tray. One of them, bear- ing a room number in to downtown office building she recognized at once and tore open. It was from Grantham and Hyde. Her previous reports from the detective agency had not been ll- luminsting. when she had gone :o them to get what information shc could of the man Parsons and his activities, they had bluntly in- formed her that she had very few facts on which to base her suspic- ions. Then. two weeks ago, she had received Sara's letter containing the circular of the United Rosario Copper Company.and h.adprornpt- ly sent it to them. She read the letter rapidly. "The circular seems to be one which was used several years ago in the fake development of al- leged copper lands which owe their value only to being contigu- ous to ore-bearing property. The scheme did not get very far then. as the people back of it took alarm. although some stock was sold in distant states. "The facts now are these: There are two Rosario copper mines, one is small, but genuine and yields a fair profit. The other. represent- ed by this circular. is a ridge just across the country line leased cheaply from the original owners because the main lode of the real Rosario takes 9. sharp twist in another direction. It looks as if somebody, evidently this man Pur- sons, had dug up the old stock to sell here. of course it is abso- lutely worthless for there is no mine, no company and no capital- The whole thing exists only in the vest pockets of a few crooks. We suggest that you let us put the matter into the hands of the police.” Gloria sat up and gasped. She could imagine Miss I-:ndicott's fury if her name were dragged before the public as the crcdvulous dupe of some .vulga.r confidence man. and yet-what of other pe0P19 who might sutier if this were quietly hushed? It was Jack's right to decide this. She reached for the telephone and called the Dalmlers' number. she had heard him tell someone that he was staying there over night. One of the maids answered, Mr. Morelnnd had left town on a motoring trip with the Dsimlers to call on some friends. No. the maid did not know where they were going. but they would be back in time for lunch, Would madame leave a number? Gloria hesitated. Then she push- ed caution aside "As soon as Mr. Moreland comes in, ask him to call Miss staunton at the Ritz." The maid promised. But s per- verse fate was playing freakish tricks with Gloria's plans. Lunch time came and panel with no call from Jack. At three o'clock Gloria swallowed her pride and telephoned again. No. Mr. Moreland had not arrived. it was we GUARDIAN. WN V '0. P. It. . lllce-"Presidents Transferred N. R. Crump. vice-president of the Canadian Pacinc Railway. has announced the transfers of vice-presidents of the company's three operating regions.

The changes are effective July 1. impossible to say when they would be home. Meantime Frances came and went. apparently in fllppant good humor, but holding Gloria under bright suspicious eyes. sea Cvorhsrn was not invited to the Chase wedding. but he knew that Jack Morsiand had come home and he sent. a brief message to Parsons to keep away from Beech- wood. Gorham was interested in Jack's returned. Mrs. Payne had tele- phone him that Gloria. after look- ing over her morning mall, hnd been trying repeatedly to get Morelsnq by telephone, thus far without avail. Whether for bust- ness or sentimental reasons, how- ever. did not appear. Gorhsm made aimless marks on the blotting pad in front of him. Mrs. Dick Payne had given him some interesting bits of informat- ion, but she might easily prove troublesome and w s quite capable 09 Sllolllng everyt g to suit her own ends. Gorhom was following: up a mystery trail which might. for the unscrupulous,leadto I very pretty little 80111 mine. but Frances Payne was a jealous woman fight- ing for 3. man who was-or hgd been-in love with another girl. The matter had its complications. He came back from luncheon to find rrmcssage from Parsons, "Meet me at the Grandon at three." He wondered, but he went. Par- sons greeted him sullenly. "I want. the rest of my share right away. I've got: to clear out." ”What's the trouble?" "They're after me." Parsons was irritable and suiky. "I see the same fella turn up wherever I go so often that It gives me the jumps. I don't know whether it's this thing or the old business, but I'm being shadowed and I'm going to get out while the traveling's good. I want my share of this haul in cash before night," "See here, Parsons, just what do you think you are entitled to? Haven't you had twelve thousand, cold cash?" To be continued lied c....en... Urges legislation for Emergencies Dli'l'R01'1'. Juno 2'1-(GP)-F'oth er-nl and Provincial legislation pro- viding for disaster emergencies was advocated by John A, Macaulay of Winnipeg, chair-mu. of the Central Council of the Can- adian Red Cross Society. Mr. Macaulay made the sugggg. tion in an address prepared for dellvery to the convention of the American National Red Cro-. in a review of the recent Canadian dis- asters. He recalled that the Manitoba Government. at the time of the flood crisis. asked Federal Gov. ernment that the general odicer commanding Prairie Command be placed in control. "I believe our experience indic- ates that it is very desirable. in cases of like emergency, that the army be placed in control." he added. Someone must be clothed with complete and absolute auth- ority. During the Manitoba emergency. the authority of the army was not challenged. Mr. Macaulay said. However, the question arose as to the right of the Provincial and Federal Governments by agree- ment to place the army in charge, in the absence of special statutory authority or the declaration of martial law... "It seems clear that governments should equip themselves with leg- islation empowering them to take the necessary and proper steps in a disaster emergency." Mr. Macaulay. who thanked the American society for its assistance during the flood and its gift of s250,000 for emergency relief, said the havoc wrought by floods of this proportion in modern large cities "defies description."
