BRAINS: LIMITED

THE PARNLEY estate is in the hands of those two astute men, Jonas Haight and Wesley Trollivor. Keen men, unhampered by scruples, cold, cruel, crafty. To them comes the news that the heir, reported dead, is alive and coming to claim his own. Too deeply involved to meet this situation, they induce Nevilles, who drops in upon them with his story of overshadowing crime to act as the heir.

PATRICIA’S PEARL NECKLACE

THIS is a story, of our Mr. Peter Jackson,sometime "senior" partner in P. Jackson and Co., Cigar Importers, of Lime Street, London,E.C. You remember him, perhaps; a dour, stocky, dark-haired youngster, with a toothbrush moustache and curious eyes, which used to change colour, from grey,to darkest black, when he lost his temper.

I have known men who laid great store by a lucky pocketpiece: others who never stirred without a rabbit’s foot; and highbrows who were hopelessly lost if they mislaid Omar Khayyam.

The Bride Who Didn’t Fit In

THE article in MacLean's Magazine a few months ago, written by Beatrice M. Hay Shaw, on the question of desirable immigrants for Canada, and their reception on arrival, determined me to write my own experiences: whether for publication or not is for the editor to decide.

JACK CANUCK: GAMEKEEPER

Thirty thousand square miles of territory given over to game preserves, to protect the almost annihilated herds of buffalo, antelope and the Big Horn sheep, and to safeguard our wild life, makes Canada one of the world's greatest gamekeepers. By DAN McCOWAN16 min

THIS ENERGETIC FARMERETTE EVEN CLEARED STUMPED LAND

I LED a wonderful life on my British Columbia farm. It was selfish but perfect. The absolute freedom is what appealed to me most in living alone. And those B. C. mountains—how they grip one!” Ruth Eden’s blue eyes, shapping with enthusiasm, seemed to reflect the indomitable spirit of the sparkling, snow-capped peaks of which she spoke. By DOROTHY G.

ONE touch of Nature makes the whole world kin," quoth the poet, and it is this kinship through Nature that is the very essence of Scouting. A Scout is a friend to all the world and a brother to every other Scout. A Scout is kind to animals. Kindness does not merely mean lack of cruelty.
