On arriving she learns' that Denise no longer loves Simon, and that she is lea ing that night to avoid meeting him on his return from a trip to .Anierica. Cherry admits she has been in love with Simon. Denise asks' her to stay and greet her husband with "Of course 'I'm not," she said angrily., "Its simply . , oh, Simon, dearest, when things come right be- twcon us, I don't •:want the least doubt in your mind as to bhe. light- ness of our being together, You won't be happy otherwise."

"If I can't, I don't see how you can." "Toddy Schenck? 1'he -man Jerry Miller told me had—had Somehow she couldn't bring her- self to say it to him ". . had gone off with Denise." She didn't know how he felt about it, how badly it still hurt. He nodded. "Yes, that's the pian. I've learned that he was on his way got things to do before I catch my black to England about two months train. I'm sorry, but I ought to go and see about them." She flushed.

But something might happen, she didn't know quite what, All she was sure of was that it was her turn to make some kind of effort. Simon glanced at his watch. "I've ago.

I'd just :popped in to take a quick dust around, There now, all yo Young ladies will 'be wanting some tea, Ill be bound." Cherry smiled. "We would love some, Mrs. Greene, if you can man age it." The girls admired everything tactfully pretending that •they didn't know there was any breach between Cherry and her husband. Lane said: "If only Derek and I could find a little place like this to come to when we're both off duty!" It crossed Cherry's mind to say bitterly they could come to this one - if they wanted, now that she and Simon were no longer together, She glanced from the window - and saw Mrs. Greene taking the deck chairs' out into' the garden. "Come along, girls," she said. "Tea will be ready in a minute," In the meantime, Cherry raced upstairs. She pulled open the little dreiwer in the dressing table, rum- maged for the box and; found the ring. She or Simon • should have put it away somewhere safer, but both: had felt too sick at heart' on that ghastly Sunday to care what became of it. She had merely stuffed it back again where shed found it. But now , '. Carefully she tucked it away in a snug corner of her respirator. It would be quite safe there. Tomor- row ... no, it would have to be the _ next day when she had a whole afternoon off duty, She'd manage u without sleep and go straight to the jeweler's. , She heard Mrs. Greene's voice calling up the stairs, "I,'ve taken the tea out into the garden, nem." When Cherry rejoined . them it „ struck all three that she looked suddenly happier, brighter. They wondered why. What had .happened since she'd gone indoors? "Help yourselves, everybody," she said, after she'd. , passed them their tea. "Lane, would you like to chuck me a scone?" Mrs. Greene was warming the teapot, As Oherry 'had surmised, she'd popped hone to get them the most wonderful tea imaginable. "I do hope we're not putting you to too much trouble," Cherry said. "Trouble!" Mrs. Greene scoffed. "Why, I'm that delighted to see you! As things are, I don't feel I'm earn- ing me money. But I had a bit of an extra turn -out 'ere the other day, m'm. I hope that was all right. You know that bureau in the sitting room? I put fresh paper in all the drawers. There was a few odds and ends of letters and bills and things. I was going to throw them away, but as you're 'ere perhaps you'd just take a look at 'em, please, m'm" Cherry glanced through the odd scraps of paper. Suddenly her heart faltered. She picked up a bill from among the resti,� Oh God, what had she found? What was this she was reading? • It was a jeweler's bill. "One ring (copy of original), two pounds ten." She looked at the date. Yes, it hayl been made at the time Simon had been in America. What did it .mean? Did it refer to the ring Denise was wearing at the time of the accident this was what she must find out. She must go to the jeweler's and show him the ring that *as here at the cottage. "Is this an original or a copy?". And whatever he might answer, "Did you make one like it? Look, can you track` down the ring neatened in this bill ?" DIRECTORS— W. R.

V Good Advice Some sound advice is contained in "ten points" complied by "The Argo- naut," an influential San Francisco publication, for the benfit of the peo- ple of the-Jnited States during the war crisis. They apply equally as well to the citizens of Canada. Here are the timely thoughts in the form of ten brief paragraphs: 1. You cannot bring about pros- perity by discouraging thrift. 2. You cannot strengthen the weals by weakening the strong. 3. You cannot help small hien by tearing down big men. 4. 'You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. 5. You cannot lift the wage-earner by pulling down the wage -payer. 6. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income, 7. You cannot further the brother- hood of man .by inciting class hatred. 8. You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money. 9. You cannot build character and courage by taking away a mans initiative .and independence. 10. You cannot help men perman- ently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves. —Exchange.
