On her wedding morning she awakens with a strange premon- ition that maybe love does change, a thought buried in her mind by a letter from her closest friend, ,Bar- bara, the night before. Pauline .a- dored Barbara who had been mar- ried, was the mother of a child whieh died, but now divorced and living a life which some of her friends could not understand, Be- tween Dennis and Barbera is a seeming' wall of personal dislike by both: Six months after Pauline's wedding, Barbara comes 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 concsiousness 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 playa the Caine coo/ and detached role as formerly. A fortnight after Barbara's return to New York, she receives a letter from Pauline that she and Dennis are coming to New York for a little va- cation. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Then she laughed to herself, There was nothing in the world to prevent Barbara from going off at any moment if she so wished. She was free, and she had plenty of money, but there was nobody with models, but Barbara would have none of them. "I'm going to change my style," she said coolly. "Show me something 'simple—black or white --i nothing Oriental," "But, madam—" Celeste was the picture of grief-stricken amazement. Barbara cut her short. , • "You heard What I said — some- thing simple in black or white. If You haven't got' anything I can go elsewhere." " I suppose I'm mad utterly mad," she told herself as she drove away. "But it's nice to be different sometimes—it's as good as a holi- day," and she thought again of Den- nis. If they could have a holiday to- gether! For a moment she let her imagination have full play. She and Dennis elven by the sea, walking hand in hand along the golden sands with the fresh breeze blowing in their faces. They would be young together, with everything else in the world forgotten. She wrenched her wandering thoughts back to sanity. Dennis did not love her and, even if he did, how soon would they grow weary 'of each other? No, no it was far better as it was. Pauline was the wife for him. Pauline was the kind of woman to make a home for such a man as Dennis. And yet it was ay his choice that they were coming to town. Why had he done It? Barbara told herself she did not know, could not guess, and yet—deep down in her heart there was a little flutter- ing hope that it was because he wanted to see her. "You're a fool!" she told herself pityingly again and again, and could only remember that it is better far — - Suddenly Jerry caught her to him "Barbara—darling *" whom she wished to take such a journey. But if she had been married to Dennis O'Hara—she brushed that thought quickly aside, and went hur- riedly to her bath. Jerry Barnet rang ten while she was dressing. "Should 'have rung before," he explained. "only I thought you'd be asleep, Tired myself this morning. Awful!" "I'm as fresh as a daisy," Bar- bara told him cuttingly. "And I will have to tell you it's all off for Wednesday." "Oh, I say!" "Yes; I have some people cant- ing up from the country," Barbara' explained coolly. "And I've got to show them around. Awful bore!" "Who are they? Didn't know you had any country relations,," "I haven't. It's Pauline and Den- nis O'Hara. They're tired of rusti- dating and want a ,change." "Well, you'll want a fourth, so what about me?" Barbara hesitated, then she laugh- ed. "Oh, very well. You'll like Pauline, she's pretty and innocent" "That's another word far stupid," `You think so? Well, you must judge for yourself. They're going to stay at the Albion—deadly respect- able, isn't it, I thought of a little sup, per after a show on Wednesday night. Reserve a table somewhere, will you?" ' "AU right, but I shall see you. to- night, We're - going to Venners'. It seems ages since last night" "All right." She rang off, frowning. If only Jerry wouldn't be so slavish. No doubt some women would love such devotion, but ,she found it irritating. He ought to• have married a woman like Pauline. • Barbara spent the morning at her dressmaker's. 'Madame Celeste had some new creations freshly arrived from Paris that .morning, so elle un- truthfully said. She sliowed Barbara all her most ' expensive , and exotic to be a fool in Paradise than to be • wise and have no Paradise at all, Barbara made Jerry Barnet go with her to meet the O'Hara's. It was a pouring wet evening, and New i York looked at its worse. Barbara i slipped a band through Jerry's arm as they` walked up and down the plat- form. "You look very young ,tonight," he said, He pressed her hand close to his side. "I like you in that getup. I New, isn't it?" "Oh. I've had it some time!" Bar- bara said carelessly, but she flushed and wondered what he would say if she told him it was all new and expressly bought for Dennis O'Hara She had net slept a wink all night; she had lain awake like an excited girl waiting for the man she loved. "So absurd!" she scolded herself. "After all the experience I've had of men. Of course, it won't last it's just another of my fancies." She tried to believe in her own words, but it was difficult. She had' loved Dennis for so long •— more than a year—and a year was a great time to, Barbara. • And new Dennis was corning to New York. In another moment she would see him and read the usual almost angry disappravar hi his eyes. She gave a little stifflec' Iaugh, and Jerry looked down at'her. "What's the joke? Let's share it!" "I'm wondering- how you will like toy friends." "Oh, all right, I suppose! Storm - away Iikes O'Hara. I told you," "Yes—did he say anything about Pauline?" "Only that, she was young -- just\ a kid," "Yes." Barbara's heart contract- ed. She was so much older ' than Pauline, in experience if not in act- ual ,years, She wondered if she Would have stood a better chance with Dennis if she had met him sooner—before her marriage, before. she had cultivated this hard, cynical attitude toward life, to hide from the -world her bitter hurt and die- illusionment.. She had done it so well that everybody aceepted..it now as her real self—all except Pauline that is --simple little Pauline who loved her and believed' in' her in spite of what other people said. "Here comes the train," Jerry broke in 'upon her thoughts, and she drew her hand from his arm, and hurried forward. Pauline was at the window, smiling and eager. Barbara saw Dennis lay a hand on her shoul- der and heard him say: "Wait till the train stops; there is plenty . of time." Then it stopped, and Pauline op- ened the door and almost fell into her friend's unresponsive arms. "How lovely to see you again. It seems years. • We've brought an aw- ful lot of luggage. f' don't believe it will all go in 'one taxi." "I made Jerry bring his car," Bar- bara said coolly, though her pulses were racing. She introduced them. "Mr. Barnet — Mrs. O'Hara, Mr. 0' - Dennis and Jerry shook hands. "It's very kind of you to have met us" said Dennis, looking at Barbara. "Not at all. Get a porter, Jerry., I don't can this much luggage, my child," she told Pauline when it was -collected. They got into the car—Dennis in front with Jerry, and the two girls behind. "We've got tickets for a show to- night," Barbara said; "and, we've booked a table for supper after, ward," "Oh, but Dennis ought to rest," Pauline broke out agitatedly. "Nonsense." There was a Sharp note in her husband's voice. "It's not nearly so tiring sitting in a train as it is trying to drag myself about the house." Pauline's face quivered. "Of course, if you're not tired—" she faltered. They reached the hotel. "We'll call for you at half -past seven," Barbara said( "No, rye`won't, come in now -- you'll. want ` to un- pack. Sto glad you've coins." She blew Pauline' a.kies and lean- ed back with a sigh. "Take me home, Jerry. I fee) exhausted." "You' go and dress and conic back for zee, and don't' be`late," .said Bar- bara at her door. • He was amazed, when on arriving again at the flat he. found her dres- sed and waiting. "Great Scott!" he. whistled, look ing her over from head to foot. Barbara laughed. • "Do you like me? No lipstick—no earrings no nothing -you've always been used to."• He drew a quick :'breath. • "Jove, it's .not you! But all the same—you're divine." She swept him a mock courtesy her eyes +bright with excitement. Jerry took her hand and, bending, kissed it. "I'm almost afraid of you, and yet - Suddenly he caught her to him. "Barbara—darling--,' She wrenched herself free front his passionate arms. "Let me go- ebeast! Beast!" 'Jerry Barnet was crimson with anger. `Anyone would think you'd never been kissed before -what the deuce is the matter? Other times you've never objected. Oh, I say, chuck it, Barbara!" for she had begun to sob, tearlessly, but with infinite pathos. He had never seen her give way to emotion before, and he was angry and distressed. It was almost as if with her new mode 'of dressing . she had changed her nature too. "Chuck it!" he said again, with a choke in his voice. `I didn't know. I'm aw- fully sorry. It's not as if I've never kissed you before, or any other man." "I know!" She struggled in vain for .composure. "I know—,I'm cheap —second hand!" She laughed vali- antly. "Don't take an notice. Get me a drink." Jerry brought her a drink. His hand shook a little, and his eyes were ashamed, though he could not have explained why. "Sorry!" he said hoarsely. "Beast- ly sorry! I'd rather have died 'than upset you. Awful!" "Mitt!" She forced a smile, and drained the glass he gave her. "For- get it. TVs too many late nights — my nerves are upset. I'll have to put some color on after all, I look a sight." She kept him waiting ten minutes: THURS.; JAN, 26, 1933 and he avoided looking at her as they left the flat together, He was a bungler, but ,somewhere at the back of his slow mind he realizeds that he had hurt her intolerably,: misunderstood herr. In the car he said: "Would yon rather; not go? I'll explain to O''- Mara" "khitac God!" Barbara saicl violent, ly. "What do you take mu for? If you ever breathe a word' I'll never speak to' you again," They drove to the :Albion in silt once, "You wait, I'll fetch them," Bar- bara said. She was out ;of the car before he could stop her.In the lounge she ' met Dennis. (Continued next week) • DOINGg IN THE SCOUT WORLD' A Gilwellian Town Manager Town Manager Lea Gilchrist of 'Cardston, Alta., was formerly Dist- rict Commissioner of the local Scout association, and attended the 1924 Gilwell course under Rodney Woad. Former Headhunters Become Scouts A second native Boy Scout Troop was recently started at Darn, Papua. The first troop of these boys whose fathers were headhunters, was start- ed in 1928, and is now a complete un- it of Cubs, Scouts and Rovers. Did Santa Laugh at This One? Numerous letters to Santa CIaus were this season addressed to Boy Scout toy repair shops. Many there written in touching terms from fam- ilies in dire need. One to Regina struck the humorous note. It began; "Dear Satan." • Another Scoutmaster Bishop The first bishop of the new Ang- lican diocese of Northern Saskatche- wan, Bishop W. Bind, adds another trained Boy Scout leader to the roll of prominent churchmen. The Rt. Rev. John Lyons, Bishop of Ontario, was for some years an active Scout- master at Belleville, Ont. o=a3C-J Scout Hands Across the Seas The handsomely made headdress of a'Cree Indian Chief has just been sent by Edmonton, Alta„ Rover Semite to the Rover Scouts of Ed- monton, Englaud. A number of Can- adian Scouting' units have establish- ed" similar ' contracts with Scout units in towns ' and cities of similar names in the Old Land. Scouts Help Indian Caste Problem The important possibilities of Scouting for India were again re- flected at a Hindu Scout conference' in the Punjab. President Shri Ram Bajpai, referring to the 4th Scouting Law—"A Scout is a friend to all and a brother to every other ,Scout'' declared its chief application' fox them was the uplift of the Untouch- ables. Hindu 'Scouts have for some years been working and mixing with low caste boys, ignoring previous rigid rules. INCREASING MARKET FOR ONTARIO TOBACCO The' impetus. which Sir Walter Ral- eigh gave the tobacco industry when he introduced that popular weed into England from Virginia has continued unabated and is still growing. The scene of latest development on a con- siderable scale is' in Ontario, where the vulture of high grade tobacco is rapidly coming to the fore. Accord- ing to the Natural Resources Depart- ment of the Canadian National Rail- ways between five and six hundred hogsheads weighing about 300' pounds each, arrived at Saint John, NiB form Western Ontario for shipment overseas. This is the second big consignment of tobacco to arrive at Saint John this season, 800 hogsheads having gone forward previously. SUCCESSFUL EXCURSIONS Speaking before the Kitchener - Waterloo Kiwanis Club last month, A. A. Gardiner, Assistant General Passenger Traffic Manager, Mon- treal, told his audience that cheap excursions during the year had been an unqualified success. Per passen- ger revenue front them, he said, had averaged almost the same at for traffic on regular trains. While busses and trucks had cut into rail- way revenues he was confident that with economical administration the railways would continue to play their important part in the world of trans- portation. What Macs 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 worthy 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.
