The next night when they were going upstairs Neil said. "Look here. sweet, I hate like the devil to have you sleeping indoors. You ought to be getting all this wonderful fresh air. Let me move your bed out to the Other end of the porch. I won't bother you" "Oh, there's plenty of fresh air in my room with all those windows op- en," returned Joyce hastily, "really it's just like being out of doors." • "Let me sleep indoors, then," he suggested, generously, • "and you. sleep out here.' "I'm lots more comfortable inside -you're lots more dependent on air than I ani." she told him. Nearly a fortnight later Joyce set off one morning on Rosita for an all - day ramble through the hills. She carried her linnch and a boolc with her and told Roxie not to expect her back until late in the afternoon.

"Last night, "(other, and you bet I'm glad to be back," replied Pac- kard. Neil's mother was a woinan,in her late sixties, with soft gray hair, and a face pleasantly fresh and clear. skinned. Only in her dark eyes could one read the shadow of past sorrows, mingled -with present loneliness and pain, Joyce thought, and when she did not smile her mouth was set in curves of quiet resignation. • "Are you feeling quite well again, my dear?" asked Mrs. Packard af- ter Neil had told about his trip, "Neil said you had a bad fall." "Oh, yes, I didn't really get hurt', replied Joyce. "though I suppose I might easily have been killed." "Yes, it frightens me to think of it," said lttrs. Packard, a shadow crossing her face. "Frills is looking well, though, don't you think, mother?" asked Neil. "Doc spoke of It to me today. She's been keeping sort of quiet since the accident and getting in n lot of sleep." When they were outside the house, Joyce, seized by a sudden impulse, said to Neil, "Wait a minute. I'll be right out again," and turning she went back into the house. Mrs. Packard, who had been sitting quiet- ly gazing out of the window, looked up in surprise when site saw her daughter -!n -law reappear.

It was so difficult to say what she wanted to. A mixture sof shyness and fear, and the unaccustomedness of putting her feelings into words, held her back for a moment. But again her desire to make Neil real- ize that she wanted to be friends with him, that in the future he would not have to worry about her actions, drove her ion. "Well . perhaps that blow on the head knocked a little ... sense into roe." Ott impulse alone Joyce suddenly came close to him and smiled up in- to his face, a little tremulously, and said, "Please, let's start over again • and, after this . . . well, don't expect me to be any white -robed an- gel, but I'll try not to worry you too much." She was unable to say more, for Packard abruptly drew her close to him and kissed her again and again. murmuring words of grateful sur- prise and happiness. "Frills, darling • I love you so, sweetheart! You . you really mean it, dear? ...I thought all my -chances of, happiness were gone, but now . . I'll do ev- erything I can to make it worth while -,to help you if you really mean it." Joyce, submitting to his caresses, reflected ruefully that she had nev- er been so much kissed in her life as she had been since she woke up in ,Mrs. Neil Packard's bed. Gently she tried to free herself. Poor Neill Ile did find it hard to believe that any such miracle as this had hap pened. She smiled again, all her joy in the clay restored, knowing that he would go off to work filled with hope for the future security of his home and happiness.'

"Hullo Frills, all ready to go? Fine!" and as Joyce got up he ap- proached her. But she stepped aside and made it plain that she preferred to avoid this greeting.

A guard of Scouts relieved the firemen by patroling the smoking ruins throughout the night.

Immediately he dropped out of the race, ran for the ambulance squad, and assisted in ren- dering the first aid neeessary before the woman could be moved to a hos- pital. He was out of the race, but he had clone his job Scout style. Thirty per cent. of all the Rover Scouts of Poland are attending uni- versities. To her dismay she saw Mrs. Pack- ard's eyes fill with quick tears and a flush mount to her forehead. "My dear, my dear, nothing would make me happier than to ... to be able to bo a friend of my son's wife," she replied, her lips quivering, "to have you want it!" She laid her arm gently around Joyce's shoulders. "I'm coming again soon, alone, and then well ... we'll get acquainted," (stammered Joyce. She rose and lift- ing her head near, kissed Mrs. Pac- kard lightly. Then she ran out of the room to Neil. When they got back to the house Joyce was relieved to find that they had no company. "Let's see what is on the radio tonight'?" suggested Neil. Joyce as- sented, rather curious to hear. She soon discovered that Neil's idea of "Oh, it's all right," replied Joyce indifferently. She went -up to Neil's big blue car and waited for him to open the front door. "Don't ,you want ' to go in your roadster?" asked Neil in surprise, stopping beside the car, "No, I don't. I don't like the 'col- or ,of it," retorted Joyce, and sup- pressing a smile,' she continued has- tily, "anyhow, I; prefer to 'have you drive today."

Joyce, bored finally at the super- latives of the Unseen speaker who was boosting enthusiastically for the glories of California, got up and said good -night, hoping that Neil would remain downstairs. Packard immediately shut off the radio and announced his intention .of accompanying her. By the air of happy expectation on his face, Joyce realized that she was about to reap the inevitable results of her friend- liness toward him that day. She decided this time to take no chance of repeating the soap incident and when they reached the bedroom she turned to him and said. "Good - eight Neil, I'm going to yead for a while." "But, Frills, sweetheart," hebe- gan, detaining her, "you've ,been so wonderful today and—I love you so! I want you se, dear." • He drew her closer into his arms whispering the last words close to her ear. "Such adorable 'little ears!" he said, kis- sing thein again and again. "I'd be so happy if I were surd of you!" "Listen, Neil," she said quietly, "won't you, if I ash you as a favor THOSE CITY CHILDREN NEED COUNTRY AIR this, year!

How delight- ed they were! And ovhat a load was taken off Jim's small shoulders! Of course, Tim realizes he can't leave the city for who would look after the other little ones while his mother is at work? But he does hope Elsie and Jean may go away again. coo H. B. C.

The transportation of these fur - bearing animals requires a great deal of care, for they' must be given two ounces of minced beef every twelve hours, be frequently watered, and protected from draughts throughout the long land and sea journey. Bob is another boy just Jiin's age who lives with his mother and fath- er in a large brick house. For two years Bob's father, who is a book- keeper, has been out of work and, be- cause they have not been able to meet payments on their house they know that someday soon they will loose it. The strain is beginning to tell on both parents, and where once there was a happy home, there is now discord, frayed nerves, and a tense atmosphere that Bob doesn't understand. Home has been like this for months and months now and Bob prefers to spend as much time as he can on the street. What a dif- ference a holiday in the country would make! What a large number and variety of children in Toronto need holidays "BACK TO THE RAILS" FEELING INCREASING Indications are that this year will witness a considerable improvement in the tourist business. The lure of Canada's out-of-doors is bringing large numbers of United States citizens to the Dominion for fishing and canoeing trips. The development of speckled trout fish- ing in the Maligne Lake area of Jas- per National Park has attracted world-wide atention to the sport to be found in the Rocky Mountains and reservations at Jasper Park Lodge are rapidly increasing. The formation of the Maligne River Anglers Club with annual championship competit- ions for anglers commencing this season, has further concentrated at- tention on Canada's newest trout fishing waters. Low rates to the Maritime Pro- vinces from Eastern Canada and the cent -a -mile rate between Eastern and Western Canada will have the effect of increasing travel in both directions and the general improve- ment in business conditions appear more than likely to be reflected in improved passenger business for the National System. nervous every minute—what in the inipression on himfor he released world would she say to Neil's mother? her immediately, saying, "I'm sorry. —they stopped finally at a charming dear.
