Her mind felt heavy, too, and numb. She thought, this isn't really happen- ing. It can't be" I'll wake up presently to find it's just a hor- rible dream... . With exaggerated care she closed the door behind her. Clos- big Martin inside, herself out- side. Other doors, in their brief time together, had closed between them, :but never like this. Oh, never like this, separating them forever— When she was part way down the stairs she saw the street door open and Peter come in. She could not know that in that dingy hallway she was to Peter every- thing lovely, a flower springing from mud, the first crocus after winter. He tried to tell her some- thing of that. . He said, "You look like a pansy in that dress. It's the same al- most -purple as your eyes. You look like a pansy from my grand- mother's garden." But if he had managed tokeep his tone light, his kind young face turned upward to her was white, and grim. And she thought, he knows. He's known all along. That date with them to- night he'd broken, that "emer- gency call" that•had taken him away so that she and Martin might have the apartment alone, that was to give Martin a chance to tell her. s * a her, who didn't want her.

She murmured something earelessly about Martin having a ei big head as well as a big day to look forward to tomorrow, and • she had advised bed for him and a taxi for'herself— i She had forgotten the remark the next instant, and Peter as well. She walked along, and Peter strode beside her; but he was to ber Iess real than the grinning images of the Duchess, of Gates, who had come. to mock her.

Women throughout war-torn Britain .. . especially the hundreds of thou- sands of women working in war plants .. count on Aspirin as one of the three leading aids to main- taining good health and morale. As soon as colds, muscular pains or aches threaten; as soon as heads begin to feel stuffy, thousands take Aspirin Ont of their pocketbooks. For they know it is effective . . dependable ... fast. Generations of satisfied users have proved it. An Aspirin gargle eases pain of tore throats almost at once. Aspirin taken with water eases headache, and muscular distress. Next time you feel st cold threatening, be glad youhavo Aspirin. It costs less than 1¢ a tablet in the economy bottle. Aspirin is Made in Canada and "Aspirin'." is the trademark of Tho Bayer Company, Limited. Leek for the Bayer Cross on every tablet. If yet on't see the cross, it isn't Aspirin. ISSUE No. 9-43 A the pace, for their steps, "Never chase a man, never chase a man, never chase a man—" She started to run, in a hys-. terieal effort to get away from them, and she tripped and would have fallen but for Peter's hind under her elbow, steadying her. That sobered her a little. The others faded away, and there was enly Peter's footfall and her own, hollow -sounding in the early morning streets. - Back et Merrymount, planning on her transfer, she bad thought, "'Even though 1 won't be able to be with Martin often it will sti,. be soniefiin.; just to hear his footsteps al n'y a corridor." Well, she'd still be hearing them; only now they would be some- thing from which to shrink. And she knew, 'suddenly, that she would shrink from Peter's as well, because always from now on he would be bound up for her with the pain and humiliation of this night. . They had given over all pre- tense of things being as usual. Leaving her at her hotel Peter said, troubled and worried for her, "I have some trine off to- morrow. I'll take you home." Gently, as though she were ill,,, she thought. Or recently bereav- ed. Pitying her. "No," she said stiffly. "No, I don't want that." He thought it wiser not to press the point. "I must talk to you, though," he said. "You'll let me see you? ,Soon?" She had forgotten that Peter didn't know that last bitterness. She said dully, wearily, "You couldn't avoid seeing me if you tried. Because I'm going to Good Samaritan, too." She saw him wince in sym- pathy. Faith Hartshorne was with Martin at commencement. Her mother was there, too, and Peter thought, that makes the thing of- ficial, I imagine.. . He was not surprised. He had • done nothing about looking for a room apart from Martin, much as he had felt like doing it; with several weeks at most to go be- fore graduation it would have been, he decided, a childish thing to do. ' With these last days so full and with Martin out evenings it was seldom necessary for them to see each other. But on, the few oc- casions when that couldn't be avoided Martin's attitude had been one of hostile defiance; Peter had' rather expected this gesture. That was the reason he had alternated between hoping that Candace would come, and fearing that she might. He watched 'her, composed and apparently care- free, talking and laughing with his father and he thought proud- ly, the gal's got guts. . , He was not only proud that she had done it, but relieved; because she would have to see this girl, she was bound to be forced to see her with Martin sometime and it was better that the hurtful things should happen all at once, in the beginning while the wound was open anyway, But there are limits to courage, there ought to be limits to the things one should be forced to endure; and when Faith Hart- shorne recognized him and, smil- ing, started toward them, he blandly turned his back on her. Phe girl halted, certain that • it couldn't have been deliberately done and yet uncertain how to proceed; while she stood hesitate ing Peter took Candace and Bruce each by an elbow and moved off with them into the crowd. Candace was aware that Peter had moved them on to 'get her out of the vicinity of Martin and the girl she knew must be Faith Hartshorne and with a part of her mind that could still feel she was grateful for the 'consideration that had prompted k. But it did no good, if only he knew it. Be- cause even when they were not in her line of vision she saw thele, as though they had been engraved on her eyeballs, Martin's dark cod a fell for the girl's g looks radiant fairness and she in turn a nimbus for him. . She was glad that she had seen them •together, elm told herself, Glad, Because a weak side of her that felt that even a scheming, a faulty Martin was, better than rte NOT EVEN ENOUGH FOR HALF SOLES a Consider work of English girl repairing shoes. She has only leather enough for patches. Martin at all had clung to the hope that he hadn't meant what he said, that he'd come back and they'd each be sorry and things would be almost as they hail been before: She had felt that she couldn't be sure until she ac- tually saw them together. She knew now that he would go through with it. She was sick with the knowledge. Yet even out of her own despair she could still pity the girl at his side. Because she had keen his face when he was forgetting to be gay, forget- ting to laugh; and she knew that Martin wasn't happy either.

Hun Field Marshal Is Taken Prisoner Capture Crowned Complete Defeat of Germans at Stalingrad Our troops, says a Soviet In- fonmation Bulletin, displayed great skill in the operation, which led to the capture of Field Marshal Paulus at Stalingrad. Scouts as- certained precisely where Paulus' command was located, in the cen- tre of Stalingrad. They learned how many officers were at the post, where the command cars were parked, and the strength of the force guarding the headquar- ters. Paulus had a strong body- guard, 'hut not strong enough to prevent hie capture. The operation began on the night of January 30.31, while fighting was in progress. In an area where the• fighting was most violent our tanks and automatic riflemen broke through to Paulus' headquarters. By dawn the house was blockaded and the guards wiped out. 1 All Wires Cut ' Paulus,who had just received - a radiogram from Hitler announc- ing his promotion to the rank of Field Marshal of the Third Reich, did not suspect until dawn that the house in which he was quar- tered was surrounded and that all wires linking it with his troops were in our hands. When he learn- ed of this unpleasant fact he sent his aide•de-camp to arrange for capitulation. At 10 arm. our delegates went to the Field Marshal's command post,- accompanied Ely automatic • riflemen who kept all entrances of the house covered. The build- ing was in complete darkness. Wflien lights were pint on, a scene at great disorder was revealed. The basement was crowded with unshaven generals and colonels. .A. telephone operator was Iran-, Wally appealing to the German troops, but 'without . success, all wires having been prudently cut by our tankists and automatic riflemen. The gloomy Field Marshal em- erged in frill dress, crowning the most disgraceful defeat of I•Idtler- rte Germany. A New Merchant Fleet for Canada A possibility that the Canadian Government after this world con - flint will operate its own mer- chant fleet as it did for some years after the. Great War is seen by some observers in Ottawa. • The last such venture was not a success, By the end of 1986 the Canadian Government Merchant Marine had a total book deficit of i, $16,526,724 and, during the next year, the last 10 ships of, what was once a '57 -ship fleet were sold. But sines the outbreak of war' in September, 1989, the •mrchant marine has been reconstituted and is operating a number of Danish, French, German and Ital- ian vessels fax the Government. In addition, it expected a large number of the 10,000 -ton mor- dant ships new ,being built in Ca- nadian nada`air shipyln�ds will be Cana- dian diad cont, of after peace eonds.'

When Marmalade Was First Made Orange "Preserve" F I r s t Made In Scotland in Elgh- teenth Century Newly-wed Mrs, Keiller, of Dundee, Scotland, and her hus- band (they were married in 1700) lived in a modest house. One November morning, n ship from Spain, long buffeted by westerly gales, reached Tayside; and half the male population of Dundee was soon at the ship's side for news and bargains. Cane sugar' and bitter Seville oranges had tempted James Eviller above all else• But why so nmueli of both? had asked his wife, and he had explained that one could not buy goods at the quayside in the same way as from a shop, adding, by way of excuse for hie apparent lavishness, that both sugar and oranges would keep. But would they? Mrs. Keiller was not so sure. The oranges were, many of them, bruised and certainly not likely to keep. Nov were they likely to be thrown away, now that Mrs, Keiller had taken charge of them. Her mind was soon made up. She would peel them and boil them in sugar to make a preserve just as her mother had shown her how to boil quince and sugar together, mak- ing a sweet jelly that she used to call marmelett. Young Mrs, I{eiller was as good a cook as her mother had been before her, and when the orange pulp that she boiled with sugar had had time to cool and set, it was much to James Keiller's liking and they both decided to call it orange marmalade. " The first Dundee orange mar- malade was good, but there was too much of it for the young peole, so their neighbors were given some; they all loved it and they all begged Mrs. Kehler to snake some more.. And so it came to pass that Mrs. l<eilier made more marma- lade every year and James gave up his job and was fully occupied selling his wife's marmalade far and wide for many leagues around Dundee. And when the children born to them grew up, some were trained to stake more marmalade, whilst others began to sell it in England and overseas in -the little white pots which are .still being sold today in every part of „the world. New General Staff For Africa Named General Eisenhower Will Be Commander -in -Chief Prime Minister Churchill told the House of Commons that as the British Eighths Ariny passes Into the American sphere in Tun- isia it would "comeunder the or - dere of General Eisenhower," the American commander, with Gen- eral Sir Harrold Alexander as hie deputy. • Besides Alexander, 'hitherto Bri- tisb Middle East commander, as deputy commander -In -chief, these officers also will be under Eisen- hower: Air Vice -Marshal Sir Arthur Ted- der, air commander in chief for the Mediterranean area and re- sponsible to Eisenhower for air operations in this theatre. Admiral of the Fleet Sir Andrew Browne Cunningham, commander of the U.S. and British fleets in Eisenhower's' 'theatre. • It is assumed that :Gen. Sir Bern- ard L. Montgomery, British Eighth Army commander under Alexand- er, will remain in change of that army.. British reaction to the appoint- ments was favorable immediately. Keep Those Stamps Working Overtime Oanaddans are holding about 6,000,000 portly filled War Savings Stamps folders,„containing about 18,000,000 stampsand worth about $4,500,000, says Maclean's Maga- zine. The sooner tbese folders are filled and converted into Wer Savings Certificates the better, both for those who hold . them and for. Canada. Stamps do not earn interest until they have 'become Certificates, and 5,000,000 converted folders mean $20,000,000 for Can- ada naw and 820,000,000 for their holders In 7% years, Dangers of Gas Attack on Cities Professor J, B.
