"I wanted to go with him and he wouldn't take mel" "Good heavens!" the old man murmured to himself, He felt no impulse of rage, now, only the weakness that follows it. How extraordinary these new girls were! Then he added, aloud: "That's decent of him. I begin to like him, Pam." "Oh, you'd like him. He's splen - dM; he's big -he's generous,' and he's suffered! It isn't right, Uncle Herbert, where's- your old suspect? Fat and sleek somewhere, getting older and older -no use presently -and ' all Mark's splendid youth gone like this." "He'll livelt down, 'He's young,"" Burleson argued hoarsely.,"Be- sides, who' knows? Therare often deathbed confessions, one may clear him presently," She scorned that, "Do you think a' man who'd done that -and - let youth suffer for it=- would con - fees?" she demanded furiously. * * *, He nodded, moving his long fin- gers restlessly on the arms of his chair. "He might, Pane" "" "He wouldn't, 'Uncle Herbert, you'll clear him for me, won't you?" "Do you care so much, child?" She lifted that flowerlike face of hers. "It's killing me -he's so brave, 1 can't bear it, that he should • be called -that!" "Suppose I'd done it, Pam? Would you want me -at my time of life -to go out and confess it? When the boy's taken his punish- ment and he's only to start fresh?" He leaned back is his chair, studying her. "I tell' you what I can do,` Pam," he said finally.

She was stili on her knees beside hint"; she Twined her arms about' his arm and held him. "Who was the man you sus- pected?" "That was only a suppositious case, Pani," he said hoarsely. -"I suspect .no one at 'all." She gazed athim wide-eyed. "You're not telling me the truth, Uncle Herbert!" "I'm riot -what"? he asked fiercely, frowning, `3You're treating nee like a baby. l:'nn. not -I'm a woman and I love a man you helped send to prison. Yes, you did! You testified against him."

"It's killing me to think of him -facing all this -arid he wouldn't take ine with him! It's terrible to face it -and to be alone, MO!" she sobbed, and suddenly she stretched her arms out On the table and laid her head down on thein, weeping violently. Then she broke out again, "Someone did it -and I don't see how he can think of it, think of -leaving Mark to face his sins, and sleep at night." Burleson ,gave her a long look - a look she did not see. "Maybe he doesn't, Pam," he said dryly, "Conte to think of it I don't believe he does!" "He ought to diet' she cried fiercely.. "He ought to have died. long ago!" "Good .God!'" said nerleson be- low, his breath, and turned away.

SITTER FOR SETTER Mother instinct proved too strong in this red hen, owned by Mrs. Minnie 'Horton of Columbus, Ga. When her eggs failed to hatch she took over from the mother of these young pups, and now the dog is having a hard time getting back to her family e . thatis, until dinner time. TABLE TALKS' Tea Biscuits' .. . Tender and Fluffy The home economists of the Consumer Section, Dominion De- partment of Agriculture, give some reasons for biscuit failures, and ex- plicit ways of avoiding thein. Too much fat makes crtmbly compact biscuits; however with too' little fat they will not be tender, and the crust may be hard and pale in colour. The amount of liquid determines the softness. Too much liquid may result in a hard crust and the bis- cuits will not hold their shape. Too little liquid results in a hard big= cuit with a taste of uncooked flour. The fat and flour must be blend=: ed lightly until the mixture resem- bles coarse meal. This can be done deftly with the fingers or with a special wire blender, The shape and texture also de- pends largely on the way in which the dough is handled. A little kneading is necessary but only for about half a minute - to produce light fluffy, well shaped biscuits. If the dough is not kneaded the biscuits are apt to be crusty and flat brit light, -- but with ' too WHO This is a photograph of the ring of a Canadian soldier killed in Italy, who, despite all efforts, remains an unknown soldier. This picture is beting' circulated itt the hope that Some one' will be able to iden- tify the body through these photo- graphs. Initials on a worn gold ring are the clues by which records branch of the Canadian Army hopes to. link a name with the body of an unknown soldier who died Inactionin Italy, The soldier--iacking identity disk and distinguishing marks of rank and unit -was buried sometime be- fore Oct. 2, 1944, at Coriano Ridge, Italy. The ring taken from his hand is a signet, On its squaring face it bears a scroll across the upper left- hand corner, with the initials C L M slightly below the' scroll and to the right. The C is at a keret level than the L and M, its upper curve passing through the upright of the L, Inside, the band is engraved with an' X1:, and following it, the letters -J. H. W. Opposite these are the stamped words "gold silver tined." The baffling thing is that neither British or Canadian records show any soldier whose name coincides with either set of initials as killed, died of wounds or missing.: - It is conjectured that the ring may have 'been a keepsake given the soldier by a relative -or friend, He may haee been llritish or Can- adian, Troops of the Cape Breton Highlanders, supported by some from the Sth Princess Louise New Brunswick Hussars and the British Columbia Dragoons fought in the area at the time the man became a casualty. They were received 'by British troops. A number of Cape Breton highlanders lie in the come. tery there, If the ring's, initials are merely those of an acquaintance, it is pos. sible that the dead soldier 'hae been reported, as a casualty -per- haps as "missing" -that his name is already in records filed, and that his family 'save been informed. But there was nothing connected with the body to indicate this. Records will not know until the ring has been tied to the name of the per. son who wor, it. much handling they niay be tough flat, and close. grained..

Sing `Annie Laurie' Crossing The Rhine Scottish troops of the 61st High- land division, singing "Annie. Lau- rie", crossed the Rhine under a terrific barrage from Field Mar- shal Montgomery's guns, and the battle of the Ruhr bridgehead had begun. 'nth' Highlanders' took s34 min- utes to cross the Rhine. The first man, ashore was Lieut. Hugh J. Campbell, of Trenton, Ont, on loan to the British Army. Quickly following up' the advan- tage of the first successful land- ing, battalion after battalion swept across the Rhine in every conceiv- able type of craft. Soldier 'Retreads' Wear Very Well With the heavy humor charac- teristic of the armed forces,' the rank and file soldiers of this war have hung the terns "retreads" on the veterans of the first World War who have managed to sneak into this fracas. But lest that be misunderstood as a terns of deri- sion, tate word which comes back from the war .fronts indicates that most of the old timers are held in healthy respect. They may be called, ."pop" by their younger bud- dies, hut the salutation is used with affection . - • The "retreads" seem to be wearing very well. uaiity Guaranteed CHRQNICLES of GINGER FNi By Gwendoline, P. Clarke * Now it can be told! Now we cat say we what we have been ` hoping ,and longing to say for years and years. We are having the house wired! Yes, actually -the hydro is on its way. We 'don't know even yet how many - weeks -or months -it will be before the line is built, but we - do know it is coming because we were told by Hydro Commission Co go ahead and get our wiring done,. and the, Commission doesn't give • that advice until it is sure the line is going through. So we are going ahead all right. But the job won't be done over -night as the elect- ricians,are working only on a part- time basis. So far they 'have been the better part of three clays. Three joyous days -that is for us -I don't know about the electricians.' Never in all the time we have been farming has anything us quite such .a thrill as this, Does the job make extra work? Why sure -but what matter? Boards have to be ripped up here and there, a hole cut through one ceil- ing to the attic; holes cut through walls and ceilings for lights and switches; plaster dust spreads it- self right through the house; and of course there are extra meats to get and plenty of questions to answer. And in the middle of all this Daughter and friend arrived for a long, week -end. Oh, sweet confusion -it never worried me less! It was really rather funny. Saturday we were not expecting the men to he here at all. But it rained, so one of then .came after all.
