way for the younger sister.
“Gladys is dolling herself up for
the pallay doe donse,” Kitty explain
ed. “She wants to show you off to all
the girls, and to rub it in to Tommy
Ware. It’s her day out, all right.”
“Who’s Tommy Ware?’ Dan asked
idly.
“His middle name is ‘Broken
hearted’,” Kitty explained, humming
a popular air. “There he is, broken
hearted; and he doesn’t care who
knows it.”
At a dance hall Dan was presented
to a number of girls, Gladys employ
ing a formula which ran: “Meet me
feeoa;ay; this is Bertha, Gordon.”
Dan had to dance with them all in
turn. He was inured to dancing in the
bush, where the girls put some life
into what they regarded as a vigor
ous exercise. But the male perform
er must not take liberties at those
dances. Holding too tight was an im
mediate cause of offence.
“If you can’t show respect to a
lady, take your dogs off the floor,”
Dan had heard said as a mild rebuke.
There girls were different. They
clung tight, and. leaned against their,
partner. They ogled Dan at short
range. Bertha, a willowy blonde, with
very fair hair and china blue eyes,
asked Dan to do her a favour.
“Give me an intro, to that partner
of yours,” she coaxed. “If.Gladys is
going to marry half a gold mine, save
the other half for me.”
Tommy Ware became evident, as a
neat little man, who invented his own
dance steps,

incredulous, Tommy Waje retired
into a corner. He confided dark doubts
of Dan’s genuineness to every girl
with whom he danced.
“Calls himself an Aussie, and
wouldn’t have one,” he grumbled.
Having seen Gladys home, Dan got
away to his hotel about midnight.

There was little sleep that night
for Dan Prescott. How it had all hap
pened was beyond him, but his po
sition was plain enough. Under a
false name he had become engaged
to a loving girl, whose kistes had set
his blood racing in a way that made
Dan think he would never regain
a normal temperature. To-morrow
he wou d buy the ring she desired;
there was no way out of it.
Dan was not sure that he wanted
to find a way out. It was wonderful
to be petted and caressed; and there
was even some satisfaction in being
exhibited as an object of great worth.
It was all so novel to Dan that he
was not quite sure whether he wanted
to continue; but on one point he
was quite determined.
The confusion of his identity with
that of Gordon Westerby had to be
cleared up; and Westerby was the

After she knew the truth, perhaps
Gladys would .chuck him overboard;
Dan was humble enough to think it
more than probable. Anyhow, no more
sailing under false colours.
His first act next morning was to
despatch a long and imperative cable
to Westerby, and another to Slade,
urging that individual to employ his
influence on easy-going Westerby.
Then Dan called at Truro Villa, and
was initiated into the delights of the
first eporiums of Hillingdon.

“But Gordon loves giving me pretties,

Well, Gladys was generous after
her fashion, too. Dan saw that he

on the evening of the second day.
“I never thought of it,” Dan con
fessed. “When I’m through with my
business here I’ll have to get back
to the mine.”
“I don’t know whether 1 shall like
Australia,” Gladys confessed. “But it’s
for you to say. A wife’s place is by
her husband’s, isn’t it, Mar?”
That’s true,” Mrs. Clements agreed.
“But don’t talk about it till you have

you.” ’ ' '
Gladys paid for the presents with
parting caresses more lavish than
ever, clinging until Dan put her gent
ly from him, saying he must be go
ing.
“Don’t you wish we were married
now?” Gladys whispered. “It’s
rible, having to part like this.”
“G’night,” Dan said, and fairly
away.
He knew now that he must
away from all this sensuous warinth
of affection and rich living, and think
over the position in solitude. He wrote
a note to Gladys before he went to
bed, saying that an urgent telegram
called him to London by the first
train. He signed this “Dan,” being
reluctant to put a false signature to
the letter. But he made its look a
good deal like “Don.”
Next morning he ran away from
Hillingdon at break of day; and found
it astonishingly difficult to tear him
self from the fond embraces of
girl whom he had known for
brief days only.
“Cripes!” Dan reflected, when
train was well on the way. ‘That
of thing could easy become a habit.”
On his arrival in London he rang
up Milton Medlicott, and was bidden
to come right along to the office, and
talk things over, in company with a
bite of lunch.
Medlicott sat opposite Dan at the
restaurant table, and the two men un-
feignedly began sizing one another
lup.
‘I’m pretty deep in this goldmine
of yours, Prescott.” Medlicott began.
“Slade rather carried me off my feet.
That’s the worst of being able to
telephone from places as distant as
Australia. A man is apt to be rushed.”
Dan said nothing, a disconcerting
trick of his. His silence only meant
that he had nothing to say, but a
man like Medlicott was apt to con
strue it as dictated by tactical reas
ons.
““How much gold did you say was
in sight?” Medlicott asked.

Root Vegetables Keep
Well In Dry Sand
Root vegetables, such as beets,
carrots and parsnips, may be pre
served during the entire winter in
a perfect state by keeping them
packed in dry sand. The sand snould
be placed in boxes or barrels in a
dry, cool part of the cellar or store
room, in layers alternating with
layers of vegetables, until the re
ceptacle is full. From this storage
the vegetables may be dug out as
required. Why any one should go to
the trouble of canning beets when
they will keep perfectly well all
winter in sand, and are fully as
palatable when cooked, is a mystery.
Some members of the Women’s In
stitutes, in their study of economic
al ways of cooking and of time sav
ing, have discovered this fact about
vegetables, and are passing it on for
general use.
More English people go for their
holidays to (or through) Belgium
than to any other country, writes
J. H. J. in the London Daily Mirror.
This summer, the time of the Inter
national Trade Exhibition, there will
be more English visitors than ever.
Yet very little is known in England
about Belgium.
One knows what to expect from
the Dutch: they are fat, clean, and
grow flowers. One knows what to ;
expect from the French: they are,
as the old lady said, “so French.” j
But about the Belgians many things
are surprising, I
In the first pljace,. they are not one
nation, but two. There are two en
tirely different languages. South of a
line running just below Ypres and
Brussels the people are Walloons,
and the language is French. North
of that line the people are Flemings,
and the language is Flemish — which
is more like Dutch than anything
else. Belgium has been a self-govern
ing nation for no more than a cent
ury; it was not until 1830 that
became an independent state.
SHE IS AN EMPIRE
Secondly, Belgiuni is not, as
might expect from ier size, an agri
cultural country; she is in proportion
to her population jthe most highly
industrialized country in the world. Like South Lancasiire and the West
Riding, she is a epuntry of towns,
and lives by exporting manufactured
goods.
Thirdly, Belgium I is more than a
kingdom; she is an empire. Actually
she is the fourth dolonial power in
the world. There me only about 8,-
000,000 people in Belgium, but there
are over 9,000,000 natives in the Con
go who are Belgium subjects. The
Belgians are intensely proud of their
empire,

THEIR BEST CUSTOMERS
Our own Cecil Rhodes, himself
angel, described Leopold II as “Satan
himself.” But now all that has been
changed, and in some respects the
Belgian Congo is a model among
ti epical colonies. The exports of the
Congo in 1931—gold, diamonds, palm-
oil, ivory, rubber—were worth 1,000,-
000,000 francs'.
Fourthly, Belgium has a couple of
awkward frontier disputes in store.
She claims the left bank of the
Scheldt Estuary, which is at present
Dutch. And one day Germany will
claim Eupen-Malmedy, which is at
present Belgian. That district, with
its 60,000 people—mostly German and
German-speaking—was
Germany in 1922 after
ed plebiscite.
The Belgians have a
tion for Englishmen. Like us, they
believe in constitutional monarchy;
like us, they believe in colonizing;
like us, they are an industrial people.
We are, next to the French their
customers. Altogether we might

Madrid—Mrs. Grundy has ap
parently found her way to Spain. At
least, the well known Spanish stage
and film star, Ernesto Vilches, thinks
so.
Vilches visited a bathing pool with
a number of friends, and to swim,
wore a costume that he had worn
in the United States, Mexico, the
Argentine and Cuba. It was one of
those costumes where the leg goes
almost as far down as the knee.
Apparently it was a little too much

What the new regulations are like

More Individuality To Care
fully-Brewed Cup Of Cof
fee, Is Verdict.
Manchester, Eng. — Britain’s tea
drinkers were recently adjudged the
losers against the coffee addicts in
an earnest contest conducted to the
last drop through the columns of the
Manchester Guardiann.
The decision'was based on variety
in coffee-making. Coffee drnkers
wouldn’t admit there were any
“grounds” for the tea drinkers.
Their cups brimmed over with sat
isfaction when they claimed there
was more individuality to the care-
fully-brewed cup of coffee than
drink brewed from tea-leaves.
Coffee fans argued coffee is
mental stimulant of the scholar,
physical stimulant of the tired busi
ness man and a necessary adjunct
to every gourmet’s dinner. The tea
brewer, so they argued, has become
stereotvped in his procedure.‘ -4 ■

1 From the outset of this series of

with the technicalities of the science
only enough to reinforce the evid

sonal analyses that I am giving.

one or two out-and-out doubters.

In a letter I received recently, a
young lady who lives in Northern
Ontario said: “Isn’t it funny that we
should pay in order ao learn things
about ourselves that we already
know — but suppose, after all, we
don’t really know ourselves thorough
ly, because we are tempted to think
ourselves as we would like to be—
and that isn’t always just the same
thing, is it?”
However, even if that were all that
Graphology did, it would still be
worthwhile, for many of us, even
though we know our faults, refuse to
face them courageusly, and the ad
vice of an unbiassed outsider often
acts as a spur to us . . . Actually,
however, Graphology in almost every
case uncovers characteristics that
we fail to realise ourselves. That
this is so is proved by the many let
ters, to this effect, that I have re
ceived.

discussion.
