Q. 41, • SERIAL STORY OF BRIGHTNESS GONE BY HOLLY WAT ERSON THE STORY Peter Frazier, medical student, returns from a summer's hospital Job to find things drastically altered at home. Peter's once -wealthy father, Bruce, has lost his business. Belie, Bruce's second wife, has retained title to their country house and practical- ly driven Bruce away. Candace Bech, Belle's niece, has entered nurse's training despite her ambi- tious aunt's furious objections. This pleases Peter—except that Candace .has done it for love of Martin Corby, Peter's roommate In medical school. And Peter is in love with Candace himself. * • r 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.

Aren't yoa supposed to take a nap or something on your time off?" 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. K * * "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, 0 he might have to assume some of Bruce's bbligations, could scarcely, have been found for acquainting Candace with bis feelings; but 'the opportunity she offered was Feat ape he could not, he 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 YEAR-ROUND RESORT If.TEL PTE.

"Ile is 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. (Continued 'Next Week) Germans Control Italian Railroads 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,- rant. Sailors bleed More Than Ditty Bags Oeeasioltally some one has said; "We work for the sailors no eudl We have sent out ditty bags by the thousands!" A good thing to do, top, Those thousands of ditty bags and more eau -be used. Tliey fill one great need. Whatthey can- 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 - appreciated ditty bags cannot do. It requires hard cash for these. The merchant sailors' contribu- tion to our cause eau never bo estimated. He has earned' the best we eau give bum either at present or in future time. And whatever may come to him, through govern- ments or otherwise, don't 'forget that the British Sailors' Society is the quiet force which set, and has kept, the machinery in mo- tion, which for one hundred and twenty-four years has worked to. ward that end. The Canadian office of the Bri- tish Sailors' Society is at 50 Al- berta Avenue, Toronto, where George M. Speedie, the Dominion Secretary of the society, resides. He will supply any additional in- formation one may require. 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.

Milk will sometimes alkalize a fresh acid stain mad neutralize the prospective harm. 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. TABLE TALKS SADIE B. CHAMBERS 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- dies, HOW TO RELIEVE PILE TORT) ' E QUICKLY AND EASILY If you are troubled with itching piles or rental soreness, do not de- ln.y treatment and run the risk of letting this condition become chron- ic..
