MANNING.” Petulant chagrin on her face gave way to violent anger. What right had he to recall her now when she was just getting a foothold? He had promised to stake her to this tour. The vagaries of the stock market wore nothing to her: she would hold him to his promise. Let him borrow money somewhere. In peremptory tones she gave the operator Man ning’s New York numer. She would tell him a thing or two! But when she finally reached him —rousing him out of bed—she did not tell him anything. She listened —for the news he had for her car ried away the foundation of her whole world! Manning had not only lost his own money in the sudden, He lost hers as well! She was penni- . . back where with no money had with her. cover her trainfare York. Her fingers were numb with fear as she replaced the receiver. What a fool she had been to give him ‘her money, lured by silly get- rick-quick visions. She sat motion less in her chair; her face drained of color—he mind dulled by the pain ful realization that she again faced the world a penniless woman. Her anger against Manning reached the proportions of demoniacal fury. She would go to New York and make him pay back every cent of her mon ey. She wasn’t entirely beaten yet. When she reached New York, how ever, Manning had small comfort for her. ‘She saw him immediately. He rose wearily to welcome her. She was appalled at the sight of his hag gard, drawn face—the hopelessness in his pale eyes—the attitude of the broken man which surrounded him like an aura. “I’m orry, Eloise, but we’re lick ed,” like that way “There is a way out? You can borrow money?” she asked, hoping for reassurance, feeling her own heart beat in her throat “Not a chance,” he said positively “Most of the crowd got caught in the game deal." “But my money—is it all gone?” He nodded briefly, not daring to look at her. the friends Eloise made at “The Jungle of Gold” were the right sort. With radio programs demanding more and more of his time, David had opportunity for only occasional hurried, visits to the garish night club where Eloise sang. At first she had amused herself by a variety of escorts who found it a piquant ad venture to dine with the lady of the mask. But later on each occasion David had found Eloise with the same companion. This was Mitchell Manning, a tall, stooped figure of a man. with a face as colorless as a j death mask, and a disconcerting pair) of pale gray eyes his vis-a-vis like ning's name was list of those who Wall Street to make and' lose quick fortunes, was something entirely out! unexpected dip in the market, of David’s ken. that bored through gimlets.

The ringing telephone summoned her from her heavy-hearted, despair ing thoughts. The call was probably a mistake—no one knew where she was. But it was David. “I’ve finally trucked you down," he said jubilantly. “I've been on your trail for weeks. Can I talk to you?” She finally invited him up to hei' room. As soon as, he entered he glanced at the then scruntized him. “Eloise!” he of siucere concern. “What’s wrong?” “Nothing,” she said flippantly. “Why should there be?” “But this is so unlike you. Why have you hidden yourself away? Has anthing happened?” “No, no, she said irritably. “Stop questioning me. Can’t I live my own life as I please? Is it anybody's busi ness — least of all — yours?" Her words wounded him, but lie saw it was useless to argue. “’Come out and have dinner with, me,” he said, taking command. “You need food.” whisky bottle and the woman before said, his voice full So, it was with real disquietude that he encountered Manning, at Eloise's apartment in the course of an afternoon visit. “I thought I was the only one who was to know the real identity of Ta mara.” David said in an undertone to Eloise when she was mixing him a drink. “Why, my dear David,” she had laughed indulgently, “Mr. Manning has become not only a real friend but my financial advisor as well. In fact, he’s thinking of staking me to a concert tour of my own. We’re on our way to see a manager this after noon." Jealousy and apprehension warred in David's mind and as he made his way downtown, and on sudden im pulse he dropped off the bus at the street where Andrea’s shop was now open. It had been his intention to tell Andrea of the night club busi ness, despite his promise to Eloise. The sight of Gilthrop’s trim figure preceding him into the tiny establish ment made David swing on his heel however, and turn away. But he did not move quickly enough. Andrea at the doorway, about to welcome Gil thorp, caught sight of David. “David! David.’” she came running after him. “Is anything wrong,? Come in and tell me about it.” The young man continued to walk quickly ahead. “Another time, An drea, when Gilthorp’s not there, I’ve got to hurry now,” he told her. The girl’s rejection and obvious worriment wihen she returned, amaz ed Gilthorp. “Something wrong?” he asked. “It was David,” Andrea answered forlornly. “He’s angry with me, I think.” A sudden light burst on Gilthorp, How blind he had been. He closed his lips upon the words of love he had intended to speak — would never speak now. He knew the fidel ity of Andrea’s heart, told himself that once she had given her love, it would belong, to the man who it, her whole life through. 1 she J she had started except the cash It would barely back to New “It looked'he said hesitantly. such a good, sure proposition I plunged heavily—I plunged beyond my depth.” out? No Chance to Recuperate Her anger flared, bringing two high spots of color to her cheeks. “You had no right to lose my mon ey,” she said, her voice trembling with suppressed anger. “I shall ex pect you to pay it back—every penny of it!” “Some day perhaps, I’ll be able to —but you were willing to take the chance with me. You can’t be a spoil sport now.” “Spoil sport?” She raised her voice. “You have a nerve to call me that. Do you know what it means to lose every cent you have in the world?” “I ought to,” he answered dryly, disgustedly, “I’ve just gone through it. Now Eloise, listen, I have a good offer on the West Coast. I’m sure I can fight my way back — in time. Why don’t you marry me and we’ll go out there together.” “Marry you?” Eloise’s laugh was short and bitter. “Why should I tie myself up with a failure?

One by one she pawned the pieces of jewelry she had bought in her former, reckless, extravagant moods. She shrewdly began to review all the people she knew who could pos sibly be of any use to her.

David talked impersonally during the meal, telling her of his radio work, ask ing discreet questions about her con cert tour, Near the end of her dinner Eloise asked about Andrea. It was the first spark of interest she had shown in her family since her re turn. “You know that Andrea is mak ing a big success of her dress shop, didn’t you?” David asked. “Dress shop surprised. “Yes, she let stake her. I whole thing.” “Why should owes her somethin: lose her job,” So Andrea had a of her own, she meditated. Long after David had gone night Eloise isat toying with thought of approaching Andrea for money. She could afford it now — with Gilthorp backing her. But would she care to admit to Andrea that she needed money? Pride asserted itself She would find some other way— But days passed and no way open ed for her.

She filled her glass again, downed it, put on ‘her hat and a light coat and started on her way. There were several customers in the shop when Eloise, with uncer tain steps, reeled in.

Andrea, apparently preoc cupied with business, failed to re cognize her sister, but in Eloise’s befuddled state she interpreted the lack of recognition as an attempt to ignore her. “So . . she thinks she can high- hat me?” Eloise said to 'herself, walking toward Andrea. “Greetings, sister,” s'he said loudly. dingy lobby, he idly wondered if fear of Burchett© made her live there or whether she was indulging in a very strange wim* It did not occur to him that she needed money, Even when she broached the ques tion of a slightyloan after they had finished dinner, he still assumed that her funds were tied up somehow .so that, she found herself momentarily embarrassed. “I can let you have $100 if that will be any help,” he replied to her whispered request.

Surrounding him at the radio station was a veritable avalanche of fan mail. His song had made an immediate hit on the na tional network and the letters he was reading with open pleasure bore postmarks from all over the country. “I haven’t time to read any more of these,” he said finally. “I have a rehearsal in ten minutes.” On the way to rehearsal; he slip ped into a telephone booth and made a dinner date with Eloise.

However, the tivation of apples in Canada made by the early settlers. Of varieties used by the French of early days it is believed that the only commercial importance is the Fam euse, or Snowj apple, a delicious fruit for both cooking and eating. Apple trees were planted in Nova Scotia before 1'66’8, for in that year Pierre Martin set out a number of trees in the Aiinapolls Valley oppos ite what is now Annapolis Royal. At the time of the British occupation of Nova Scotia by th© New England set tlers in 176 0, apple trees were found growing throughout that valley and the English took up the crop as a commercial possibility. They import ed varieties from Europe* The Gra- venstein, for example, was brought from England, where it had been in troduced from its native home in Holstein. Many new varieties were brought in from the United States. While the Fameuse of Quebec came from a seed brought out from France, the McIntosh Red originated at Dundela, not far from Ottawa. New 'Brunswick has a small apple in dustry, its Crimson Beauty being one of the earliest ripening apples in ex istence. The most recent expansion of commercial production has been in British Columbia. The commercial production of Canada is now very large. Last year it was about fifteen million bushels. cul- was the the There is something known as ‘ser vice’ — possibly for want of a bet ter word — that men recognize as a value and are willing to pay some thing to receive.
