Flush Out Old Sludge
Does changing the oil in your car merely mean draining
the old and replacing with new lubricants? If it does may
we suggest that from time to time you have your car’s
motor flushed out. This is a thorough process that removes
old sludge and gives the new oil a thorough chance to lub
ricate the engine as it is intended to do.

The story thus far; Enid Walters,
young Montreal newspaper woman,
has written a successful play, In
New York to arrange tor its pro
duction, she sees her fiance, Hugh
Meredith, with hei’ friend, Agatha
LeClaire, wealthy Montreal divor-
see. Enid thought both were still
in Montreal. Her shock is partly
forgotten in the kindness of John-
Harkness, the producer. Back home,
Enid discloses to Hugh that she
knows his and Agatha’s secret. Hugh
is contrite, but Enid breaks their
engagement. She is angry at Hugh,
but Agatha's actions have bewild
ered her.
I
CHAPTER XI
Work has a fashion of obsessing
one in a newspaper office even in
hot weather, and in the days that
followed Enid was glad to find her
self swept up into it again. As often
happens in Canada in the first
week in June, the mercury ap
proached 90 degrees and hovered
there for days. The weather was
difficult for work, but the weather
combined with the work was trium
phant.
She had heard or seen nothing
further of Hugh; heard nothing of
Agatha. Fanny Wetherall had tele
phoned and '.tried to "pump” 'her
about the situation, but Enid, at
the other end of the line, had
proved all ignorance and innocence.
Perhaps it was her love
drama that made it possible
st-ill to play ingenue—when
casion required. Thus two
passed.
Then one Tuesday morning she
saw two letters that looked unusual
in the early mail left at her desk
in the office of the paper.
One was from John Harkness,
The other, she recognized at once,
was from Agatha.
She had heard several times from
Mr. Harkness in the two weeks
since she had been in New York,
chiefly news about her play, "The
■Duke of Padua,” which was now
scheduled to open in June. Montreal
had been retained as the locale of
the play, since Montreal society
people might be supposed to be
more susceptible to the glamor of
dukes than would the New York
elite. "Possibly—not probaibly,” Mr.
Harkness had added in all honesty
iln a play of this kind he felt it
was necessary to produce glamor;
the more distant the scene, prob
ably the more glamorous the ap-
I peal. 'So Montreal had won the day.
"New York people,” he had writ
ten her soon after she had seen
him, “do find something of glamor
in Montreal. Its two races, its ship
ping -port,
.phere, all
"As for
wickedly,
ticularly glamorous about Montreal
at the present time. When are you
bringing a little glamor back to
New York?”
So that Enid had to smile when
she picked up his letter to open it.
The thought of him was reassuring
and amusing. If she looked
office wall halfway to the
she almost felt she could
kind blue eyes smile down
with mingled laughter and
al.
This letter was an appeal for
help, however. The star, Arthur
Benson, a young English actor, was
splendid in the part of the duke,
Mr. Harkness acknowledged. . He
knew his performance would be
"greeted with delight.’’ The letter
went on:
"But tbe girls, my dear Miss Wal
ters, the girls, the Montreal snobs!
They are not in the picture at all.
They can’t seem to get into, the
spirit of the play. What is the mat
ter with our charming young act
resses nowadays? Do tell me. Are
they entirely obsessed with clothes
and lipsticks? They can't all, of
course, have the radiance Maude
Adams used to have,
have no ' personality
They are fashion plates-
“Some men-
mored somewhere — prefer women
without brains. Pardon me if I say
here and now that women need
more—-far more!
"As for subtle differences or
nuances between themselves—they
have never’ heard of the like. Their
brains can’t fathom my perfectly
direct suggestions.
"I have decided that one reason
for this is (because the actress who
plays the nice girl, Claire Coburn,
in your play, the one who unmasks
the duke, doesn’t make sufficient
contrast to them. I mean to get
another actress, even at this late
date. So now—watch out for large
capitals coming, italics and all oth
er symbols of emphasis known to
press people.
"I want you to play the part of
Claire Coburn!
"■Murder is out. I know you can
clo it. You are not so devoted to
your paper that you can’t leave it.
Your future, I am convinced, will
he assured by this play or by others
to follow. You have a light, grace
ful and delightful touch. I am sure
you can dare to free-lance it how.
"Or if not—-I can always find
another vocation for you. (The last
sentence is littered in a peculiarly
meaning tone; you know-—the kind
of thinking aloud the actor does in
"Strange Interlude.”)
"Forgive my aside, however. You
can keep your residence in Mont

neatly, but Enid felt as startled
as if the explosion had happened
within her office walls.
Could she do it? Would she?
After all, what was there now
to keep her in Montreal? She loved
her country, but tlm stage was in
ternational. If Mr. Harkness
thought she would do, perhaps she
really would, Actresses had some
times been recruited from school
teachers; why not then from press
women?
She would send a telegram of ac
ceptance that night, and leave the
next morning if her paper would
let her go.
Even a letter from John Hark
ness carried with it some of the
confidence, some of the good na
ture of the man himself. When
Enid had finished reading the let
ter and made her decision, she felt
a peculiar, burning elation. John
Harkness was beginning to mean
so many things to her! What ave
nues to a new life he had opened
up! It was as though he were
magnetized by success, and capable
of charging everyone who came
near him with something of his
own dynamic personality.
The question of clothes flashed
through Enid’s mind, She really
would have to splurge this time,
have to look the part of an actress.
And she realized with a grateful
feeling of security that for the time
being at least money would be no
problem. Indeed, this was success.
Her elation had quite driven from
her mind the other letter, still ly
ing unopened on the desk. It was
with a start that her
it again.
She could not bear
second letter.
What could Agatha
What could they ever
with each other again?
She did not open it
At lunch time she put it into her
purse, and took it out with her.
The habit of months persisted.
She still went to
wich shop, still sat
near the one she
occupied that
ago, that was

your forgiveness.”
All afternoon and evening the
bitter debate possessed Enid.
Should she, or should she not—
go?
At one moment, she thought of
Agatha’s house, and the idea of en
tering it again was unbearable.
Agatha and Hugh—together there.
. . . How often she had left them,
happy in the thought they would
not (be missing her so much! Hers
was the responsibility. In loving
each other so completely they had
thrown the responsibility back in
her face.
The next moment she would re
member Agatha at her table, gra
cious and handsome, listening with
delight to Enid’s tales of the office
or to the story of her topaz neck
lace, punctuating all that was said
with fond and admiring smiles.
It was true. Agatha had loved
her.
Or again a vision persisted of
Hugh holding Agatha’s coat with
pleased deference, while Enid had
to slip into her own unaided.
Was it Agatha’s fault that Hugh
had fallen in love with her? She
was wealthy; she had a handsome
home and could dress beautifully.
These things naturally attracted a
man like Hugh, who loved beauty
for itself. Ke had been a drifter;
perhaps he always would reach for

The World Wants
Food From Canada
Bigger production—that is what
Canadian farmers are planning for
this year, They know that, in a
world struggling to get back to
normal living, many nations are
counting on Canada to provide the
wheat, meat and dairy products
that, will be their chief weapon
against hunger.
To meet this demand for greater
production, many farmers are plan
ning to modernize their farms—-by
purchasing new machinery, install
ing electrical equipment and aids,
improving their drainage systems,
and so on. Such improvements
make farming easier and more
profitable.
Many go-ahead farmers,
to improve or modernize
pliances, farm buildings
have found a ready ally in
of Montreal,
If the lack of ready money is
