PETER'S TROUBLES GROW
CHAPTER IX
Peter's first glimpse of Candace
was reassuring. Those amazing
eyes of hers, that ranged from a
clear gray to a deep, almost -
purple according to her moods, ap-
peared at their largest and dark-
est because of the smudges of
weariness beneath them. Her face
was pale and she appeared tired,
but there could be no doubt that
she was happy. They met in front
of the nurses' house and there
were people passing so that they
greeted formally; but her glance
flung its arms about him and the
pressure of her hands did the
rest.
"Peter," she said happily, "Peter,
I'm so glad to see you"
She couldn't leave the grounds,
she said, but they were otherwise
'free to spend the whole afternoon
together if he wished. She was
off until 5.
Peter, longing to do foolish, at -

She dismissed that airily. "I can
always sleep," she said.
It was too fine a day to visit
indoors. She led hint to a bench
under a tree at the far edge of
the grounds and they sat facing
each other and smiling with the
pleasure of being together again.

"You look as nice as ever,
Peter," she said. "ricer." She
cocked her head critically. "A bit
on the stern side, maybe, or at
least I thought so the first mo-
ment I saw you. But then that's
a good thing, an air of firm au-
thority, in a physician." She gig-
gled. "See what an authority I've
become on the subject, in one
month? I'm writing a handbook,
"Dope for Doctors, or Babblings
on the 'Bedside Manner." How's
your own beside manner coming
along, by Um way? Was the sum-
mer as interesting as you'd hoped
it would be? I certainly wouldn't
know from your letter's. You've
_ been a worm about writing; you
realize that, don't you?"
Peter said earnestly, "5 wanted
to, but I didn't have a spare min-
ute, honestly—"
"I know," she admitted, "anal
whatever time you did have you'd
want to use for writing your fa-
ther. I'm only teasing. I under-
stood, really I did. Have you been
home yet? How's everybody?
'Uncle Bruce?"
Her tone didn't change; she
didn't know how wrong things
were, then. He decided not to tell
her; she'd find out soon enough.
He said lightly, "Dad wasn't there.
Belle tells Inc he's at his club."
"He hasn't spent muck time at
the place this summer," Candace
said. "He's been awfully busy on
something that kept him pretty
much tied to town. He *was out
once several weeks ago, though,
and stopped off to see me,"
She thought it best not to men-
tion how tired he had appeared to
her, how strained. "Belle?" she
questioned. "I'll bet she °didn't
mention me, did she?"
"No, as a matter of fact she
didn't. Why?"
* * •
Candace giggled again. "She's
furious with me," she confided.
"She practically put me out and
warned me never to darken her
door again when I told her I was
going into training." She grew
euddenly serious "You don't feel
that way about nursing, do you,
Peter? What did you honestly
think, when ',wrote you what I
was doing?"
Peter's heart commenced a sud-
den thumping that interfered with
bis breathing. A less auspicious
time, just now when he'd learned
that he had scarcely a cent in the
world and when, for all he knew,

he might have to assume some of
Bruce's bbligations, could scarcely,

Candace with bis feelings; but
'the opportunity she offered was

found, bele himself.
He said meaningly, trying for a
light tone, "I thought it was swell.
I thought, 'What a wife she'll make
for a struggling young physician'!"
s * r
He was totally unprepared for
the blush that dyed ]ger crimson.
"Peter!" she cried. "Peter, you
guessed! Or did he tell you? Well,
anyway, I don't suppose it mat-
ters, just so you do know. But he
did promise to let me tell you—"
Peter repeated elawly, "He?
Who?"
"Why, Martin, silly," Candace
said tremulously, laughing, "Stop
teasing, Peter." The tierce blush
had brought tears brimming to
her eyes; ashamed of her emotion
she ducked her head, hiding her

very lucky, Aud I hope, my dear,
that you'll be happy."
Peter's interview with his fa-
ther yielded kiln little satisfac-
tion, Bruce seemed determined to
appear unworried. Things were
pretty bad at the moment, he ad.
milted, but there was reason to
hope that something might yet be
salvaged from the wreck; they
wouldn't know that definitely for
another month or so.
The thing that hurt hint worst,
as Peter had suspected, was
Belle's stand, She had refused to
allow the mortgage. on Tuckaways
that might have averted the ca-
tastroplle,. Bruce's strongest pride
was his reputation for integrity.,
He was afraid that by his having
put the place in Belle's name and
by her hoidng on to it, it would
appear that he was trying to avoid
his obligations. That would ham-
per him in his efforts to make a
comeback, too, certainly so far as
trying to establish credit went.
But he was not bitter about her.
"After all," he said, "the place
was put in her name so that she'd
be protected. She's within her
rights in refusing to give it up.
She feels that she's no longer
very young and that she's entitled
to security — she feels also," he
added, grinning ruefully, "that
since I'm not So very young either
the chances of my making a come-
back are not very good and the
gamble would be too great, it
would simply be throwing good
money after bad."
* * •
"I never heard such darned non-
sense," Peter said furiously. "I
can't think of half a dozen of the
.topnotchers who are anywhere
near a match for you in keenness
and ability. Times are bad, sure.'
But they won't stay that way."
He evaded the question of age.
Bruce grasped Peter's arm and
gave it an affectionate pressure.
"I know," be said. "We'll come
through it, of course. BM there
may lye some trying times ahead,
And I feel as though I've let you
down. Your tuition, fortunately, is
Paid, but I don't know how we'll
manage about your living ex-
penses—"
Peter said, "If that's all that's
worrying you!" He was fiercely
grateful for his father's generosity
heretofore in the matter of an
allowance, and for the work that
had kept him too busy to have
time for spending much of it, He
produced a bank book showing a
balance sufficient to see him
through this entire last year and
yet have enough over to be of
some help to his father 1f he
should need it.
He pressed it' on $rote. "I want
you to have it, Dad."
Bruce whistled. "If you could
manage to accumulate this much
out of what I gave you, you moat
be a financial wizard. Maybe you
should have been managing the
business." He gave it back firmly.
"I don't need help that badly yet,
thank the Load." But Peter saw
that he was relieved, and proud.

Germans Control

It is stated by a reliable source
that the Germans have assumed
full control of all Italian- xail•'
Toads and ports without consult*
ung the Italians.
The step was decided upon at
a meeting of German officers
called by Marshal Goering in
Rome recently and put into im-
mediate effect, says this infor,-

not do, is this: They cannot re-
build even a makeshift home for
sailor's, to replace those bombed
to the ground or in enemy hands.
They cannot supply food and
clothing to the wives and children
of the thousands of inerchant
sailors who have lost chair lives
In this wrui'. They cannot supply
the education for Beau -loge sons,
which fits them for officers. They
cannot place libraries on board
merchant ships for the benefit of
the student who has left school
for the service and who must con-
tinue his studies in his spare time.
These are a few of the things
which the match -needed and much -

It requires hard cash for these.

Spot On The Rug?
Remove It Quickly
Some First -Aid Treatments
For Floor Coverings
Prompt action is required to
cope with stains or spots on your
floor covering, says the Christian
Science Monitor. Remember to
use the right remedy at once to
circumvent as impending spot or
stain—thus taking immediate pre-
cautions against permanent harm
and eliminating the start of dry
rot or moth damage if possible.
Then call in your professional rug
cleaner at once, for his advice.
Here are the immediate first-
aid treatments for floor coverings:
Dirt Spots: To remove, brush
thoroughly with a soft brush.
Then sponge with warm, mild
soapsuds and rinse carefully with:
warm water.
Grease Spots: These rot the
fabric and should be removed at
once with carbon tetrachloride
(sold under various trade names).
Apply with a soft cloth—taking
up the soil with a clean cloth or
blotter as it dissolves.
Ink Stains: Take up freshly
spilled ink with blotting paper or
soft cloth. Then sponge the spot
with lukewarm water. Old or
setibborn stains should be sent to
the professional cleaner.
Chewing Gum: Soften by pour-
ing on a little carbon tetrachlor-
ide. Let stand a few minutes,
then remove with a 'dull knife.
Any remaining traces may be
sponged with tetrachloride.
Road Oil, Tar or Asphalt:
Sponge with cloth well moistened
with carbon tetrachloride. Change
the cloth as it becomes soiled and
continue until cloth remains un-
soiled.
Paint Stains: Fresh paint, if
moist, can be cleaned by rubbing
;gently with eloth wet in tureen„
tine.
Animal Stains: Most stains of
this nature eause discolorations
which cannot be entirely removed.
Clean at once. Sponge thoroughly
with salt solution (y,t eup of salt
to 1 quart of lukewarm water).
Then sponge with weak ammonia
volution (1 part in 20 parts of
water). There is also a process
by which the whole rug may be
r.colored to look like new.
Blood Stains: Sponge with salt
solution of a/r cupful of salt in 1
quart of lukewarm water.

ors. Milk will sometimes alkalize
a fresh acid stain mad neutralize

Unknown Spots:. A mild soap
scrubbing with lukewarm water,
followed by an application of corn
starch, is usually safe for any
spots on a rug. However, if the
slightest doubt about any of these
remedies exists in your mind —
don't hesitate to call your cleaner
at once.

A Chat On Desserts
With the rationing of sugar,
butter and the scarcity of whip*
ping cream the problem of des*
serts becomes more difficult.
Desserts are of two kinds, those
just to "top off the meal," so to
speak, and those planned from a
calorie or vitamin standpoint to
help balance the meal.
In England a custom prevent:
which is one of great common
sense. Raw fruit is a popular
dessert and what is more healthful.
for all of us? Meals, well bal.
anced from the protein and carbo-
hydrate
arbohydrate standpoint, can very
easily be finished with say raw
apples — those lovely red apples,
which especially at this season of
the year make their appearance
with all the extra easiness that
apples ever had. There is the
"Delicious" apple and many oth-
ers, that are very appetizing and,
most healthful for adults and
children. As a nation we ]lave
fallen into a bad habit of thinking
most desserts should be sweet.
This is also the season for the
lovely California grapes, They,
too, make an ideal ending to a
heavy or well balanced meal.
California also sends us dates and
raisins, which of course are ex-
pensive for those of us who must
watch our budgets. Oranges are
cheaper now and at the peak of
their season and they lend varia-
tion for most menus.
The English custom of using
crackers and cheese for dessert is:
well worth remembering. This
will have to be guided by the rest
of your menu and would be barred
if your meal is already high in
protein — meats, beans, peas, etc.
Many omit the dessert when
using a substantial salad and this
again is a very healthful thing
to do for all.
It does seem unfortunate that
we have not a little extra sugar
for our bountiful Canadian apple
crop, but I am sure the govern*
ment is doing the very best for
us they can in this food problem,
It is a gigantic task for them and
after all we have an abundance
of things to eat,
If you are a fancily who does not
insist on sugar in tea, coffee and
cereals, then I can assure you with .
careful planning you will have
enough sugar for a reasonable
amount of desserts in the simple
category. I mean by this a simple
custard, maybe a junket, a little
eocoa, or left over canned Witt
in the bottom of your custard
cup.

Submarine Travels
Over 80,000 Miles
The submarine Truant, one of
the Royal Navy's most fanned
undersea prowlers, is back home
after two and a half years of
hunting in which she was credited
with sinking or damaging more
than 20 axis ships and traveled,
more than 80,000 miles in the
Mediterranean, the Indian Ocean
and Java Sea.
After 12 months of activity in
the 'Mediterranean the Truant
went to the United States in May,
1091, for refitting, and was hack.
on her old hunting ground by
October.
She was en route to Singapolt
when that base fell and wont to
Soerabaja, the Dutch East Indies
naval base, instead. The Truant
operated with the Allies in the
Southwest Pacific until the Indies
fell and from there transferred
to Colombo and hunted in the
Malacca Straits from March to
September this year.
Among her exploits were a sal -
face attack on an enemy harbor
because it was too shallow to
enter submerged, getting stuck on
the bottom while enemy destroy-
ers steamed overhead, sinking two
out of three ships in a Japanese
convoy and running a gauntlet of
Japanese destroyers in her suc-
cessful break from the East In-
