Radio No Melp
Once the radio made a reference
to Tamar’s kidnapping and Ther
ese edged closer. Static broke into
the announcer’s words and they
could hear only a confused mum
bling. Tamar noticed the clock
on the mantel, hut it must have
been only a newscast, she decided.
She thought that Therese seemed
nervous after that, though, anid
tried to get other news broadcasts.
Therese bound her hands after
she was in bed. Tamar tried to go
to sleep but tossed and turned as
best she could with her hands
bound, She realized that it was
very lato when she did drop off,
and knew nothing more until the
sun flooded the room,
Therese did not look as though
she had slept well, and there was
a pile of cigarette stubs in the
large tray on the smoker. This
morning she was more nervous
than last night, and did not make
much effort to talk. Her lips had
lost their pleasant curve and Ta
mar realized that she was frighten
ed. When Louie returned, her bra
vado would come back, but now,
she was only a woman with some
thing to worry about.
Waiting for Louie
The morning was unbearably
long. Several times Tamar knew
that Therese was listening intently
and thought that her head was lift
ed toward the sky. Evidently she
was expecting Louie to come back
by plane.
About noon Therese heated the
oven in the wood range in the
kitchen and prepared to brown a
cooked ham. She worked at it
expertly, peeling off the outer skin,
rubbing it with brown sugar and
spices and pouring pineapple juice
about it. She washed potatoes and
put them in the oven to bake. Ta
mar asked her once if she would
help, but Therese merely

played a game of honeymoon bridge.
Tamar tried to read, but the words
blurred and the pages had a way
of not getting themselves turned.'

all that it meant to her. She had
thought upon her mother’s death
that it would never be the same
again, but knew now that Shadwell
was part Of her and that she would
never want to exist without it.
But somehow, since the Cricket
Hill had been opened and the min
ing operations begun, Shadwell had
been different.
She could not analyze it just yet.
There was confusion in her thoughts
when she remembered the strong
features of Christopher Sande. Her
heart had never behaved right since
his first appearance, and she had
known when he spent the week
there that most of her thoughts kept
returning to him.
“You poor darlin’,” crooned
Theresa's voice suddenly. “You’re

Therese closed the kitchen door
and they continued to talk in low
tones. Presently Louie came into

obligingly, in the same tone that
she might have continued the con

No Sleep
To night Tamar did not sleep at
all. She was afraid that some time

Just before they left the cabin,

Therese had entered the valley but
realized that it must be a winding

first. And then they dropped down
rapidly and Tamar knew that Ther
ese must be an expert driver. She
could feel the sun a-gainst her face
through the glass in the window.
Therese drove silently.
Tamar could not tell anything
about the directions. Once they
seemed to be going east, but after
wards they turned and curved in
so many different ways that she
had no idea where they were head
ing. They did not stop for perhaps
an hour, and Tamar could tell that

road they were driving at least 70.
The car slowed and Therese
leaned over and said: “I’m taking

There pad been a call from Taylor

“That’s smart. Because I’m

Another Message
At a little inn a half hour
the blindfold was removed
more and Therese waited while an
attendant brought hex* a long en
velope, It contained something
more than the yellow telegram.
Therese read it quickly and wrote
a wire to be sent. “The address i?

Tamar could see the licenses of
passing cars indicated that they
must be in Georgia. Just where,
she could not tell. The sign said
Toll Bridge Inn. She printed the
appearance of the place on her
mind, But, pt course, she realized
that a telegram could be sent there
without being -extraordinary.
They were off again, Therese say
ing: “I’ll .give you instructions, and,

of the old bravado and although
it seemed pierced with nervous
tension, Tamar knew that she had
received good news from Louie.
She wondered what else had been
in the envelope.
“Take off the scarf and put on
the dark glasses from the glove
compartment,” Therese said.
Tamar fumbled with the knot
and slid the scarf down. Then she
gave a swift look about the high
way, before she opened the com
partment. The dark glasses were
almost as bad as the scarf, she
thought, wondering why Therese
had not had her use them all along.
Airplane Journey
Tamar heard the roar of a big-
motored transport high above them
and dimly she saw through the
glasses they were approaching a
small town. Then traffic grew
thicker and Therese wove expertly
in and out of it. ’
Presently the car stopped and
Therese said: “You're going to get
on that transport. Here’s your re
servation. You’ll get off at Atlanta.
It will be known that you will ar
rive by plane, so there will be no
delay.” She took the reservation
out of the envelope and handed it
to Tamar.
“No one is to know who you
are, remember.”
VBut won’t I look just a little
odd getting on a transport in this
costume?”
Therese laughed shakily. “No,
they’ll think you’re Greta Garbo.
Only I prepared for that. You’ll
change your jacket and slip into
this skirt and leave the slacks right
here. We’ll get there just in time
for you to get* on the plane before
they take off.”
Tamar looked about her, seeing
only dimly that they were in a se
cluded spot. Otherwise,_ it might
have been easy enough for her to
call to someone for help and ^com
plicate things for Therese.
Tamar knew that Louie was wait

done a lot to make her imprison-

strange they would go to so much

CONTROL OF THE
CABBAGE MAGGOT
The cabbage maggot attacks
plants as

which are
their eggs on the stems of the
plants about the time the European
plijm first comes into bloom in the
spring.
These insects can be controlled by
the use of corrosive sublimate,
states Alan G. Dustan, Entomologi
cal Division, Science Service, Do
minion Department of Agriculture.
This material may be^procured at
most seed houses and when it is
used it should be diluted in water
at the rate of one ounce to 10 gal
lons. As corrosive sublimate loses
much of its strength when brought
into contact with metals, it should
be mixed in and applied from glass
‘or earthenware or wooden vessels.
This point is very important.
Two or three days after the cab
bage and cauliflower plants have
been set out in the field, the solu
tion should be poured over the
stem and around the base of each
plant, using about one-half cupful
per plant. Care should be taken to
wet the stems thoroughly, as well
as the soil immediately surround
ing the base. Two subsequent ap
plications should be made, the sec

third 7 days later,

In the case of radishes, the solu
tion should be poured over the young
plants about 3 days after, they ap
pear above the ground and a sec
ond application made a week later.
Do not treat the radishes when they
are nearly ready to use, as the
practice is dangerous to the con
sumer.
In view of the fact that corrosive
sublimate is a deadly poison to hu
mans and animals, great care should
be exercised in its use.

Sport Fishing from Coast to Coast
A TOPSY-TURVY world seems
right side up again when viewed
by an angler from the bank of a
fast-flowing. Canadian stream or from
the prow of a oanoe on a tranquil
Canadian lake. Nor does any form
of recreation pay richer dividends m
health at a tune when physical fit
ness plays so vital a role in war work.
Canadians are particularly for
tunate in the variety of fishing waters
at their disposal and wide choice of
species they contain, These range
from giant Atlantic tuna and the
west coast’s fighting Tyee salmon io
the scrappy" muscalunge, pickerel,
pike, bass, salmon* trout and other
fresh water favorites inhabiting Can
ada’s many inland lakes and streams.
The Canadian fishing -picture, is
further enhanced by ideal rail and
hotel services of the Canadian Pacific
Railway, whoso linos take the angler
direct to suchrenownodfishing centres
as French River, Lake of the Woods,
and Western Ontario’s rugged Lake
Superior country, whore muskies top
the 60-pound mark, Guidos, bait, and
tackle are available at larger resorts.
Other favored fishing zones include
Quebec’s Laurcntians, Gatineau dis
trict, Eastern Townships, Lake Tem-
iskaming and Muskoka Lakes, while
Splendid, Salmon and trout catches are
chalked up annually in the rivers and
lakes ‘of Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick, West of the prairie
provinces, whose northern areas pay
rich dividends to the angler, the
fishing picture acquires fresh glamor,
particularly around Banff and Lake
Louise, Alta., where the scrappiest
species of Rocky Mountain trout are
found.
