Landon himself. was no longer. impatient; he was glad -of this chance to order his. thoughts. It scented certain that the bird had ' flown, In that case, was there any harm- done?-IfPain.•liked hint site Would have to forget him. It was plain to Landon that Mark's' Cour- age had failed. , "He didn't, want to face the un- masking," he thought shrewdly; "he knew I(d have to 'do it." Yet he was uneasy;' so uneasy that he had made up his mind to see Mrs. Lynn and feel his way, find out if she knew anything, and if Mark Grant had been there. again. If he suspected any effort to hold on to his acquaintance; he would denounce the convict *rather than, risk his making, love to Pam Rodney.. The thought tirade Landon furious; he was still stinging front the tone of her refusal' and was.ripe for mischief when' the taxi drew up at the house. • * '* * At the door he got his first shock; Mrs. Lynn' Was at home but : she was not atonel-they-had company— "a gentleman." 'Landon found Out. who it was without difficulty,: and his blood .boiled. Hehad intended to wait in the reception room,'•but, as .he entered it, he Beard the crash of the jade god in the library and a startled cry from Pam, Landoll cast prudence to the winds; ht; passed the servant • who was going to announce him, lifted theportiere and apppeared in the libra3•y. No one noticed' him. Burleson -had tot- tered as the jade god fell; his gray face was distorted 'with the red streak, his eyes flamed. He -put out a ,long hand, a hand that used to be powerful, grasped the back of a chair and• leaned on it He was breathing audibly. "You're ilii" cried Mrs. Lynn; "Pam, telephone for the doctor— your uncle's ill!" "Pin not ill," Burleson said thick-• ly, but his hands went to his throat, he sank heavily into. his chair, his eyes fastened on Mark. "You — go away!" he exclaimed furiously. Palm ,ran to hint. "Uncle, ghat is it? Tell use' she pleaded. Women! Why not help your man to better health by recommending this Vitamin Bt Tonic which has so, greatly bene- fited you. Most women know about Dr. Chase's NERVI FOOD from ex- petienee or the report . of friends.

"We must have a doctor for you, Herbert," she cried, and came face ,to face withLandon. The young man was standing at the threshold, one hand still on the portiere,his face livid. He did not, ' understand' the scene„ but he be- lieved that Mark had come there to carry off Pam, that he was defy- - ing Burleson, and the girl loved him! It was the• wildest fancy, but it kindled the 'spark. - "Why, Archie!" Mrs. Lynn's, startled exclamation broke the spell; she stopped with her hand on the telephone receiver and gaz- ed atthe young man in open amazement. All her rules were being broken. When had he come? Wh r had no one announced him? * * * Landon did not notice her ex- pression. He had made up his mind to burn his bridges. He -walked -into the room and stood" in front of Mark. "You've no right to 'stay in this house,", he said in a choked voice; "the sooner you' go the better—un- 'less etter—un'less you want me to ",tell them the truth about you.". • Mark looked at him and through him. "My business here isn't with you, but,. with Mr. Burleson," he answered crisply; "after that—per- haps!" "Your business is with me," Lan- don panted, "for I brought you here. I-" he swung around, fac- ing' Mrs Lynn's frozen look, Burle- son's streaked face and Pam's in- ' dignant eyes.' "I owe you all an apology! I brought' this fellow here by. mistake; •I didn't 'know the truth. He's an ex -convict" • * * * Mrs; Lytin hung up the receiver hastily and stood quite still No one 'else Moved; the color deepened in Pant's face •but her hand still. rested on' Burleson's shoulder. "I've already told Miss Rodney that," 'said Mark, coolly; 'You're a trifle late, Landon!" • "No, I'm not!" Landon retorted .with' a sudden wicked intuition;; "you didn't' tell the truth. Mr. Bur- leson, this man murdered his un-- cle'for itis money. Ask Fosdick— be knows." -.A-strange little sound like a moan carte . from the young girl; she crumpled to her 'knees beside her guardian's chair.. Mark, disregard- ing' them all, , looked only at her. She had hidden her face in. her hands and•his heart turned cold; he had been right in his fears; she would not stand fol tli`s final aw- ful charge; what'.woman would? * * It seemed to freeze. his emotions, even his anger, ' his contempt for Landon, grew cold, He. put"up his hand with a futile•gestute, brush- , ing back the hair on his forehead.

Income Tax The experiment of the Saskat- chewan Government, trying to float a socialist loan, is illuminat- ing, comments The Printed ]Word. With the people of Saskatchewan subscribing $50 million to each of the two Victory Loans in only three weeks, the first four weeks of a campaign did not raise half of Si. million for socialis'. experiments, This seems to indicate that if 'the socialists are going to finance their proposed Government of Canada as we have financed the. war, we can forget the idea that there will be any large borrowing from the public. The socialists will have to do their finaucitig by taxes. We offer the socialists a slogan for the next election. It really gives a 'first-class picture of what would happen if they were elected, The slogan is simply "Vote C,C,F„ and get 100 per cent conscription of wealth it time of peace," That is a very fair description of what the socialists would have to do to ' carry out their promises: Income tax, which ;r the only practical method of conscripting wealth, would'simply have to go to 100 ]ler cent' of incomes, Just In Case You Might Be Interested Carveth Wells says if an ele- phant has five toes in front , and four behind, it comes from Asia; if four ih front and three behind, it hails front Africa.

The Canadian Red Cross .pito- seizes the things we are, above all, fighting for: human survival, free- dom of individual. Choice, mercy and beneficence. No one is forced to participate in or contribute to the present Red Cross drive for $10 'millions. Vo- luntarily helping support and ease the lives of others is one of man's most precious privileges; the fin rest flowering of our civilization, The wartime services of the Ca- nadian Red Cross in carrying otit the finest ideals and noblest senti- ments of the Canadian people have been great, Becauseof its work, many young Canadians now live; will, with peace, return to take -their places in the task of unfold- ing this country's destiny. But beyond Victory lies an enormous task for the Red Cross, responsibilities probably greater than ever: helping maintain Cana- dian prisoners of war during repa- triation; assisting in European re- lief. The Blood Serum Service has saved thousands of soldier lives in war. The Red Cross hopes to con- tinue this work in peace to save thousands of civilian. lives. Success of Red Cross work, -hence. success in collecting adequate funds from the ptiblic 2 is a matter in which every Canadian has a personal concern because none would . contemplate '.the fund• not succeeding.. But its success requires. the active; positive co-operation of all those who do not want it to fail; who do not want this work of mercy and of liberty to be halted. The Financial. Post.

Finland Declares War On Germany Finland has formally declared war on • Germany; joining, the list of former Axis satellites that have turned against the Reich. In a declaration dated 'March i the Government announced that Finland had been at war with Germany since September 15, 1044, when German troops attacked the island of Hogland (Suursaari) in the Gulf of 'Finland. The declara- tion added that miltiary operations against the Germans in northern Finland are continuing. The Finns have actually been fighting the Germans since • last September -10, -when Finland reach- - ed.an armistice with Russia, but it had ,been almost entirely an ef- fort to clear German troops from the country and there had been no formal declaration of war.
