"What woman's aways sneering at • SYNOPSIS Pauline, sentimental, • trustfuI, sin- cere and loving love, becomes en- gaged and Marries Dennis O'Hara in. the belief that -their blissful happi- ness will continue 'unchanged through. the years. On her wedding morning she awakens with a strange prenien-. ition that maybelove does change, a thought buried in. her mind - by a letter frown her closest friend, Bar- bara, the night before. Pauline a- dored ,Barbara who had been mar- ried, was the mother of a child which died, but now divorced and living a life which some of her friends could not understand. Be- tween Dennis ' and Barbara is a seeming wall of personal dislike by both. Six months after Pauline's wedding, Barbara conies for a short stay., During this visit Barbara con- fesses to Pauline that there is' a man she really loves, but she refuses to tell his name. Barbara decides sud- denly to go home and Pauline insists. Dennis drive her to the station. Ir- ritated, Dennis drives recklessly, and they are in a crash. Barbara escapes injury but Dennis' leg is .broken. As he returns to conesiousness he learns who the man is that Barbara loves, It's himself. Dennis spends several weeks in the hospital. Barbara re- turns to stay with Pauline, but on one pretext or another fails to visit Dennis with Pauline at the hospital. Pauline plans highly for Dennis' re- turn home. Barbara stays only one day after Dennis' return from the hospital. Much against his will Dennis finds a new attraction in Barbara, who plays the same cool and detached role as formerly. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "That's very unkind. What mis- chief am I in? I've never done you any barns, have I? "I should never give ,you the chance" he answered grimly. Barbara laughed, a cool laugh of amusement. Then she moved away from the fire and sat down on the couch. "Well, tomorrow I shall be gone," she said with a little yawn. Dennis fidgeted. "Where are you going?" he asked rather jerkily. "Home—you must come and see me some day. Get Pauline to bring if I'll have it. I'll get up .and see her off." His -wife, looked disappointed .Like ell women of her type, she loved to make a fuss of a man; she would have been perfectly happy to keep Dennis bedridden • for another month; it would have been bliss for her to wait on hien. But' secretly she rather admired Dennis, fo_ show ing Barbara he was not a molly-, coddle, They had just finished breakfast when Barbara came downstairs. "Oh, good -morning, my' children!" she Said benignly. "Have you yot everything pack: ed•?" Pauline asked. "I know you'. re so forgetful. I'll just run up and look round your room." She clat- tered away upstairs, happily assur- ed that she was doing the right thing and looking after her departing guest in the proper fashion. "You're an early bird," Dennis said. "Yes!" Barbara did not turn round from the mirror, "I've got to catch the worm, you see." "Isn't that rather hard . on Bar- net?" Dennis asked maliciously. "I hear frpm. Pauline that you are lunching with him." "Ho's not the particular worm I was referring to," Barbara said cooly: She turned round now and 'met his gaze steadily. You don't look in the least like an invalid, you know." Dennis half rose from his chair; "Look here ----•t' ,be began impuls- ively, then stopped as Pauline came clattering downstairs again. "You've left a handkerchief and a pair of bedroom slippers and a ' comb," said Pauline all in a breath. She plumped them down on a chair, "Where's your dressing case? They will all go in," she said. "And the ' taxi's at the door, I do wish you weren't going, When shall I see Barbara gave Dennis the tips of her fingers in farewell. "Good-bye. Get well quickly," she said and was gone. you," Barbara said with a faint mockery, "if you don't care to come alone." He turned round, looking at her squarely. "Do you imagine that I am afraid of you?" he asked angri- ly, Barbara opened her eyes wide; they looked very dark, like deep pools of still water. "My dear man, what a question! 0f course not." "That's fortunate," he, said "be- cause I've never been afraid of a woman yet, and I'm not likely to begin now." Brave -sounding words! when in his heart he knew that he was more afraid of Barbara Stark than he had ever been of anyone in his life. Barbara left on Friday morning by the first train. "There is no need for any one to get up and see me off," she told Pauline. "If the maid will bring me some toast and a cup -of tea — that's all I want. I'm catching the nine something." "It used to. be Dennis's train," Pauline said reminiscently. "I know it's wicked of sue, but I'm so glad he can't go back to business yet. It will be heavenly to have him all to myself for a little while." "A second . honeymoon," Barbara ! said lightly. "Well, make the most of it, but not 'too much of him." 1 Pauline's eyes clouded. , "I wish you wouldn't always say things like that; it just spoils every- thing, Of course, I know you think love doesn't last, but— " • "It depends whose` love," Barbara interrupted. "But why argue? • We can only speak of life as we find it. Run along to bed, but .don't,thli Den- nis%f I am leaving early." , Pauline repeated- Barbara's words 'to Dennis and was surprised at the anger in leis eyes, you. again? Come down soon, won't you, if you can stand such a quiet couple." She liked to think that she and Dennis had been married for years; she was sure he was as happy and satisfied to be alone with her as she was with him, She would have been bewildered if she could have seen into his mind at that moment. Bar- bara gave Dennis the tips of her finger':; in farewell. "Good-bye, Get well quickly," she said, and was gone. Dennis went 'back to his seat at the breakfast table. He could hear Pauline's affectionate farewells and adjurations to come again soon. . Something in grim badly . wantec to get up and go to the window to see the last of her, and something else kept him sitting unwillingly, where he was. Before they turner' the corner of the street Barbara leaned out of the window and look- ed back at the little house with its shining windows and dainty cur- tains. Pauline still stood in the doorway, waving her hand, but it was not for her that Barbara look- ed. e==11) .Terry Barnet met Barbara in New York. He was a square-ehouldbred cheery soul, with a.loud'laugh and an absolute gift for making a hash of things. lie boasted rather proud- ly that nothing ever went right for him. "Born 'under an evil star," he would chuckle."Well, it's all in the game of life, I suppose. Awful!" He had failed in business and failed in marriage, and at the mo - meet was keeping •; his head above water and having what'- he called a "bon time" because; his father had recentlydied and left him a con- siderable stint onsiderable'sint of money..

"The only hope is for you to -take me in hand and look after things• a bit." • Bar'bara raised 'her delicate brows "My dear man!; What would yew: wife say?" He grinned. "She'd say what she alioays did, I suppose—'Jerry, you're a damned fool!' Not so sure she's not right, too." ".Thought you were never coming back," he told her,- as they drove away in his car, '5Gave me an aw- ful turn when I - heard about that smash,. Supposin you'd been killed. Awful!" ' "I got off with a sprained wrist. Dennis -O'Hara was badly hurt, though." .."1So you said in your letter. Rath- er' nice chap, isn't he?

"Yes, unhappy marriage, isn't -it? Like the rest of us—eh? Awful" Barbara paled a little. My dear man" she said calmly, "Dennis 0' Hera has only been married six months, and his wife is a great friend of mine, charmingly pretty, and she adores him." "Dare say she does; it's gener- ally one-sided," Jerry agreed, una- bashed, - 1 Barbara locked ahead of her down the busy street; there was a little smile an her reddened lips — rather wistful smile. It was nearly a fortnight later that Pauline wrote that she and Dennis were coming to town. Barbara was breakfasting in bed with blinds drawn against the bright morning sunshine because her head ached, She had had what she called a hectic time since her return to town —Tato nights, and too many cock- tails; and too little sleep, She had dashed off a short note to Pauline thanking her for her hos pitality and :hopi-ng'Dennis was pro- gressing rogressing favorably, to which Pau lino had replied at her, usual length of four closely written page - "'I him adore, waiting on , of course," she wrote, with many un- derlinings. "But, poor darling, he hates';being ill, and lot isn't quite a saint over it. Still, I don't mind anything as long as he gets well." Barbara had riot answered. There seemed nothing ,to say—besides, she had bean to busy racing about with Jerry Barnet, turning night into day and getting herself -talked about. She opened Pauline's second let- ter with -a yawn, but after 'the first glance she sat up and read intently. Darning` Barbara:. I have some news for yen which I hope you willbe pleased to -hear, though I and not sure whether I am pleased or not, . , • Barbara's face hardened. "Going to have a baby, I suppose," she told herself cynically. With an effort she turned again to the closely writ- ten ,pages. We are coming to' New York for a fortnight's holiday. The doctors say Dennis must not go "back to busi- nees yet. You can imagine how amazed I was when he suggested coming to town and doing some theatres and things! -Can you im- agine it? He said he thought Nevi York would do me good. We are doming next Wednesday, and are staying at the Albion. It's quiet and not smart, but it's central, isn't it? and not far from you. I hope you are in town, and not thinking of (lathing off anywhere just yet. Den- nis has told me to get some•new ev- ening frocks, and gave one quite a big check. I shan't spend it till I come to New York, of course, so that you can go with use. Your taste is 'so much better than mine. Dennis is much better and walks quite well. I am sure you will think he has made a wonderful recovery. I asked Dr. Stornoway if he thought it was the right thing for Dennis to go to New York, and he said, "Let him do what he fancies." So, of course, there was no more to be said. Anyway, I shall see you—I have such a lot of things to tell you darling . . Barbara laid the letter down and closed her eyes. Somehow she was not at all surprised. Experience had taught her that people -especially A piano 'tuner took some live men did the most unexpected chickens in payment but .considers things, he got the worst of the deal as soy - Wednesday?. and today was Mon oral died before he could use them, day. Well, she must have a look at her wardrobe and furnish it up 'a bit, She stretched out a languid hand ;and rang for Mrs. Mellish --a quiet little widow who looked after the flat.

HANOVER MERCHANTS ARE US- ING SING THE BARTER SYSTEM The barter system is ,prevalent in -Hanover, according to a census- of the business men taken recently. Not only farmers but town citi- zens .are daily exchanging produce of their own growth to the merch- ants for the necessities of life anti are paying accounts to professional men in the same way, A few ex- amples of the local barter system is as follows: A. prominent doctor attended a farmer's family and took a cow in payment, A newspaper agent took potatoer and a half a pig for payment of a subscription. A. young farmer exchanged a string of sausage with a druggist for tubes of toothpaste and shaving cream. A barber is paying for his Christ- mas turkey with shaves and hair- cuts. A gent's furnisher outfitted a pro- spective groom and took his winter's wood supply in exchange. A lawyer gave legal advice and had his car washed in payment. A dairy owner takes his groceries in exchange for milk and pays the repair work in the dairy with mill' ticket's. A drygoods merchant takes eggs, butter, cream, fowl, etc., in exchange for various articles. A garage owner took a load of shingles for repairing a car and a side of beef for another car. He has also taken wood fowl and grain, INCREASED. DEMAND FOR CANADIAN CHEESE Great Britain 'must certainly be coming back if the amount of Cana- dian cheese shipped during the yeast 1932 is any criterion. Who hasn't heard of cheese, crackers and beer? Well, the largest quantity of cheese since 1929, 934,501 ,boxes, went to the market of the United Kingdom from Montreal during the navigation season of 1932, according to the Nat- ural Resources Department of the Canadian National Railways. P. E. I. OYSTER SUPPLY SHOWS BIG INCREASE One of the most success- ful 'oyster fishing seasons sons for some years past has been experienced in Bedeque, Prince Ed- ward Island, and many barrels have been sold. Bedegue Bay Oysters are. noted for their great size and flavor and this season has demonstrated the value of oyster culture, which has been undertaken by the Dominion Department of Fisheries, the beds showing an increase in production. What Makes a Town? A rural populaton which demands a community centre where may be established business, educational, religious and entertain- ment facilities. Where these flourish and are active it is safe to surmise that the people of that section realize and appreciate the value to them of such a centre. What Maintains It? The towns are largely maintained by the surrounding districts. But the organization, the direction, and to a great measure the up- keep, of the institutions in such towns are in the hand of the busi- ness interests, together with those directly and indirectly- connected therewith. Without the active business and professional men to supervise and govern these public institutions and undertakings no town could thrive. Who is Mainly Affected? Every citizen either in or about a town should be concerned in see- ing to it that they do their part in carrying on any good cause which may be promoted, either by financial or active support. Only in this way will any town prosper and develop as it should. In promotion work your local paper takes the leading part. It is Publicity is Required ever the champion of woethy causes and philanthropic and patirotic undertakings. But to function properly, and fully carry out its natural prerogatives, it must in turn have the financial support of the community it serves.
