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 . beffbre. Pauline a- dored Barbara Who had been mar - mete 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 cones 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 main is that Barbara loves, It's himself. Dennis spends several weeks in the hospital. Barbara re- turns to stay with Pauline, but Oh 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. A' fortnight after Barbara's return to New York, she receives a letter from Pauline that she and Dennis are coining to New York for a Iittle va- cation. Upon their arrival a round of gay entertainment gets under way — throwing Dennis and Barbara much into each other's company. o "Ready?" she asked. He did not answer at once, and she knew he was looking at her frock—missing her bizarre earrings, her usual, flame boyaney. "Pauline will be down in a moment," he said. Barbara moved to the fire, and he followed. "It's cold," she said. She looked up at him. "I hope you won't women and a man, But this is a bit different from the usual story. The man goes back to his wife in' the end likea good • little' husband." , "I -low nice,". Pauline maid 'happily. Barbara smiled, 'The curtain went up, and she leaned beck and closed her eyes. .She had seen the play before, and it was with deliberate intent that she had chosen to see it again to -night. She did not listen to a word that was said, en the stage, she could' only hear the words that Dennis. O'- Hara had spoken to, her'a little while ago in; the hotel'ldunge... "I came to town to see you." -She opened her eyes with a sigh. He was ,sitting very still, quietly at tentive, his broad. shoulders rather lunched and his profile a' little stern. What was he thinking about, she wondered? Was he hating her very much—or loving her very much? Tie curtain swung down on the first act and the lights went up. Dennis rose to his feet. "They don't give you much leg room," he complained. Pauline. glanced at bin, armlet -,1y, "Why not go outside and have a smoke?" she suggested. "Most of the men are going." She leaned access to Barbara "You go to," she urged. "Mr. Barnet will stay with me, won't you?" She appealed. to Jerry. "Of course—delighted," but Jerry was not very enthusiastic. "I don't care about smoking just now, thanks," Barbara said lazily.. She felt angry with Pauline. "We may as well get some air," Dennis said calmly. He took up Bar- bara's cloak, which had slipped from her shoulders. "Oh, very well," she agreed, and rose. After all it would seem pointed to refuse. They went out into the foyer, and What was he thinking about, she wondered. be very bored," she submitted with an effort, "I know you hate New York." He said nothing, and she went on, feeling that anything was better than silence. "It's good of you to Dome. It's for Pauline's sake, I suppose?" But she knew full well it was not. O'Hara laughed. "I suppose I ought to say yes, but I've rather a preference for the truth, .No, it's not for Pauline's sake. "For whose then?" "For my own," "I see. You thought New York would be a pleasant change after six months' suburban domesticity." "Nor" O'Hara met her eyes steadily. "Have you ever been told that if a song or a tune haunts you the best way is to get hold of it and hear- it right through and that then you will be able' to forget it?" She shook her head. "No, I don't know what you mean." "I mean that ever since yet went away a fortnight ago the thought of you has haunted me against my will. I've hated it, tried to get rid of it. I can't, so I came to town to see yorl —" He broke off abruptly. Barbara's eyes were like stars. "You mean—so that you will be able to forget me," He made no reply, and she laugh- ed with soft triumph. "You won't be able to," she whis- pered. "I'll never let you!" In the theatre Barbara told herself that she . hail behaved like a fool- Dennis was sitting next to her. "I hope you'll like the show," she said casually. "It's the latest suc- cess; the .usual three -cornered love affair, you know" Pauline laughed; "How etciting. I leve a play like that. It's two men and a' woman, I suppose?" • "go, the other way about. Two Deuni, gave her a cigarette and lighted it, "Most of the men have gone to the bar," Barbara said, "Why don't you join them?" "I'm not thirsty, thanks." "Do you -like the play?" "So far. it seems quite possible," Dennis answered. There was a little silence, ther he asked 'deliberately; ! "Did you choose it purposely?" "What do you mean?" Ho met her eyes steadily. "I won- dered if you intended it for an object lesson for me.' "I don't understand." Dennis O'Hara frowned. He drop. ped his half -smoked cigarette to the floor and 'trod it out. "Six weeks ago when, I smashes` you up," he said bluntly, "I made a very interesting, discovery." "Really!" "Yes. I discovered the name of the man you love," Barbara went white. For a momen' she lost her self-possession;' then with a great effort she laughed, "My dear man, are myou raving read? There is no man that I love once bitten, you know. Perhaps sometimes I have imagined-" "Barbara!" He caught her hand. "There ate atleast a dozen people watching us withthe keenest in- terest," she said in a 'voice Of flint. He released her at once. ' "Very well. I beg your pardon." "Not at all. My cigarette has gone out." • He struck a' match and relighted it fdr her. "It gives me no pleasure at all to be made a fool," he said. savagely, "I am not like' other men you have known. I don't believe in—this'kind of thing." . ' She was once "more ,complete iris- tress of herself. "What kind, of thing?" she asked; coolly. "The kind of thing that rias hap- pened to you and" me," he answered, "I know I'm 'just an .•ordinary, sort, of fellow." .He Was stammering a little. "I; hate inttigue and—and this hole -in -the -corner kind of game It's no use to me or—or to :any decent man. I crate say it amuses you to have brought ine to New. York." "You're quite road," Barbara said Balmy, , though her poises' were rac- ing.. "You carne to town entirely to please yourself -or Pauline.", , "I' came to see' you." ' • His. eyes held hers angrily. - "You told me an hour ago that I should neyer forget you -that you would not allow me to forget you." "I think the curtain is going up," "Barbara said. "Very well—if you don't choose to be honest with me....." "Honest!" "Yes, honest enough to admit that you love me. as much as I love you. I know I ought to be shot"' . "That is a sentiment with which I` entirely agree," Barbara said. "Ann. if you don't mind, I would rather see the second act • of the play than listen to the utter nonsense 'you are talking." They went back to their seat; and were eagerly greeted by Pauline. "I thought you would be late." After the second act the two men went out together. "I knew they wanted a drink," Pauline said, She moved into Den` nis's seat beside Barbara. "I don't believe in tying a man to one's apror strings, do you? I always let Den nis do just what he likes and gr where he likes." "I like Mr. 'Barnet," she said after a moment. "Are you going to marry him, Barbie?" "My dear child, be is married al- ready." "I know, but you said—well, I suppose he can divorce her." "I thinly she would find it easier to divorce him. Pauline's eyes clouded, "And • he seems so nice!" she said: Barbara: moved restlessly. "'It doesn't make him any less nice .be- cause he doesn't pare for his -wife; does it?" she asked a trifle impa- tiently, Pauline sat silent, - her' eyes down-: bast. "If Dennis` ever laves anyone but me I shall die," she said extra- vagantly, "I wee -only thinking just now, when that woman in the play took the man away from his wife— supposing.-it was Dennis—and me?" "Yost may 'cheer up. In the play' he ,goes back, to, her,• -so it's 'all quite sat- isfactory,", Pauline shook' her head. "It could- n't be. Once he'd stopped loving hip wife and cared: fdr someone else. He would always be thinking of the. -ether woman- and wanting her." A sudden wave of pity swept Bar- bara's heart. She laid a hand or Pauline's arm. • "It's only a play," she said. "Don't look so tragic," ' "But it's so real," Pauline said' Wistfully,. Afterward when they were leav- ing the theatre, she caught her hus- band's arm. "Did you like' it?" she asked, He glanced down at her with pre-. oceuuied eyes, "'Well enough. hid you?" "I thought it was dreadfully, sad." "Sad! With the stereotyped happy ending?" • "I don't call that a happy ending. I am sure he really loved the other. woman best all the time." Dennis laughed. "Don't take it so seriously. It's only a play." They went to a night -club for supper. It was hot and 'crowded and gar- ishly lighted and- furnished with many gilt chairs and tables. Pauline had never been to such a place in her' Iife. She kept close to her hus- band and talked almost in a whisper. "Isn't it lovely? I've never seerre anything so lovely. Look at the mas- ses of flowers, and all the beautiful girls." "They won't look very beautiful at nine o'clock to -morrow morning with- out their make-up," Dennis sail ruthlessly. Barnet had booked a table near the centre of the floor. Buth he and Bar- bara seemed well known to the man- ager and waiters.

Theile was no man in the room so distinguished looking' as he, she thought proudly, and ri sense of humble gratitude filled her heart: "I suppose you won't be •able to dance," Barbara Was saying to him casually. "I suppose 'your leg isn't really fit enough." Pauline broke in eagerly, "0-h, but it is. and Dr. Stornaway said it would do him good to exercise it. Dennis is a lovely dancer!

"And hadn't you bettersit d -own, my dear? You're in the way there," (Confined Next Week.) . CANADIAN NATIONAL TRAIN IS FASTEST The combined average speed of 30 representative long-haul railroad passenger train runs compiled by the Technology Review dropped 'slightly in 1932 front the same average taken by the Review in 1930, according to the current issue. , In 1930 the average speed was 40.9 miles an hour. These same fliers in 1932 maintained ,a schedule of 40.7 miles an hour. There was improve- ment in the 50 -mile class,' however, as there were 'only three of these in 1930, and five in 1932. The Technology Review states that the fastest train on the American Continent is' the Canadian National Railways' "International Limited" flying between Montreal and Toron- to at an average speed of 55.6 miles an hour. Next is the New York Central's "Twentieth Century Lim- ited," making 53.4 miles an hour be- tween New York and Chicago. J. A. Meckstead, a train conductor on Canada's crack train, "The Inter- national Limited," which runs be, tween.Montreal and Chicago, recent- ly retired at the age of 65 after com- pleting 43 years' railway service. By coincidence, his last trip as con- ductor on the train ended at Mon- treal on his 65th birthday. Advertisements are your pocket book editorials. They interpret the merchandise news. FUR, TRADING FOR CASH TARES PLACE OF BARTER With the ending ,of the' fox pelt. season, in the Maritimes this month a ' striking 'contrast • is .mane between fur sales in the early days and as carried ea today. At the -beginning. -of the fur trade, ' the Indian traded his '•skins 'for. beads, knives, toma- hawks; and later on, rifles, amuni- tion • and 'supplies were added to the barter. ' •'Then the white trapper. I came upon the seen and he traded for money and supplies. The trap - pe•, in some remote distri'ets still carries on his trade much as hisP re- decessors.did but in the more settled parts of the country the trade in certain furs, has become more dom- esticated and today fur farming is conducted on an extensive scale. Ranches where black foxes and ether fur -bearing animals are bred for their, skins dot the landscape in many parts of Canada and the in- dustrg is on a highly commercialized basis. IS MAN'S STAFF RICE OR WHEAT? Rice is to the, 'tropical country what wheat is to Canada, says the current issue of the West India Com- mittee Circular. The Circular gives some little- known facts about rice and wheat. It • claims that whether *heat or rice is the most important feed grain pro- duced in the world remains an open question; that Empire production of rice far exceeds the Empire produc- tion of wheat; that rice' is the only grain in which "the Empire propor- tion of the world's production is com- mensurate with the area of the Em- pire in comparison with the world;" that less than 20 per cent of the world's wheat and 'barley, less than 16 per cent of its oats and very much less of its maize and' rye are grown in the Empire; that export of rice from China is prohibited; that nobody knows the extent of China's tremendous rice fields.

Hovey, Druggist. hat Makes a Toss n A vocal populaton which deinancis 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 Mai ,;1y 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 co-mmunity it serves.
