THE CL]NTON NEWS -RECORD THURS., JUNE 22, 1933 SYNOPSIS: untarily, and quite innocently Synopsis: Joyce . Ashton, 'poor `lined to do. The slightest motion of this stenographer, suffered loss of mem- ory fn a skidding taxicab accident in Chicago, One morning two years later' she woke, after a fall from her. horse, her memory restored, to find herself, as Frills, the wife of Neil Packard, rich California fruit packer. She determined to tell nobody of her predicament but set about learning what she could of her life in the in- terval. From the conversation of her friends and letters in her desk she gathered that she had been a heartless, pleasure -loving young wo- man. One letter that troubled her was from a woman signing herself Sophie, blasting Frills for not giv- ing a home to a baby Sophie was caring for. Could it be her baby, Frills wondered! She also found 'herself involved in an affair with a man named Maitland. In San Fran cisco, where she went while her hus- band was away on business, she met Robert Ainsworth, a poet whose work she had always admired. When Joyce returned home, she deckled to be pleasanter to Neil than Frills had been. But this line was dan- gerous, too, for Neil was patheti- cally anxious to win back Frill's love. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Far in the hills Joyce had found a little group of pines on the edge of a towering redwood grove. When she ,lay down on her back in the sunshine and looked up through the pines at th Ohm slty, she felt as if she were floating on space. She lay thinking of Neil, and with a little thrill of satisfaction she de- cided that he showed no evidence of missing the old Frills. She had now met practically e ery one who moved in their cir in Manzanita and had found o enough of their history and cieu stances so. that she could get safely in most cases. The month was not yet up b Joyce summarizing her impressio and the knowledge she had Bath ed, felt that she had given her e viromnent a fair study and was titled to draw her conclusions an plan her future course without fu then research. First, as to Neil. She bad made number of enlightening and Ghee ing discoveries concerning him. was devoted to golf but did not car for dancing. he liked liquor b never drank to excess, and he di liked risque stories more than mo of his acquaintances guessed. H believed in taking one's part in th life of the eemmueity but he woul have been happy to stay at hom four evenings out of a week to en joy the quiet pleasures of privet fe. On her return from San Francis` she had once more been forced t ee the problem of her relation with Maitland. He had telephone nd called several times the firs ay while she was out, and on th card morning, just as she w ady for a ride on Rosita, he hat! peered and caught her .. , Joye t her thoughts dwell dreamily fo moment on Maitland and instinct iv she found (herself domparing in with scorn to two men --Kober insworth and Neil Packard. Meas - red by Ainswort;t's standards aitland had no chance at all—it as almost unfair even to compare ewe sent a flame of hope leaping Neil's eyes. Row long could thio go on? was becoming more and more ficult for them both. Joyce tremb a little to recall the tenseness which Neil 'had finally released` hold on her the previous evenin Toyee had been curious to Joyce Abbott, the one woman seemed to like, and the meeting her had come two days after conversation with Ethel about dinner for Rhoda Maitland. It nearly 5 'o'clock and Joyce, dres in riding clothes, was waiting Neil to conte home and take a r with her before dinner, She had just left the mirror in living -room when she heard a tor and looking out saw a sm shiny black roadster drive up to dour. The girl who got out was dressed in white linen with a white felt sport hat and white buckskin ox- fords. She was certainly rather pretty, with her big blue eyes and small neat features.... Joyce won- dered who she was and nerved her- self to the ordeal of meeting anoth- er stranger who was not a stranger, "`Sorry to bother you. Frills, but I'm out on business this afternoon," began the girl, smiling in a halt - apologetic, half -defiant fashion, "and your name is on the list I had given me to call on. We want to raise a lot more money this year for the Orphan's Vacation Camp up in the Sierras and so the committee is planning a big fair and entertain- • ment. We want to find out what cle you'll do for it. Will you enter the ut horse show and take on one of the m- acts in the evening?" • by Joyce listened to this appeal with ut mixed emotions. ns "Of course, I'm... I'm interest- er ed in it," began Joyce slowly, feel- nr- ing her way and smiling pleasantly en- as she spoke, "but I'm not riding d any more in shows and I'd rather r- not take part in any entertainment, but I'm ... I'd like to help in any n ether way." r- IIe Her acquiescence was received e with gratefully effusive thanks. The ut girl then rose, hesitated far a mo- s- ment and said, with a little wistful st air which Joyce felt instinctively e was not wholly genuine, "I wish we e night be friends, I do so long to be d friends with every one. If there's e anything I can do . . , I'm so sorry." e Who was this girl anyhow? won- dered Joyce, slightly exasperated by her meek manner. There had evi- o dently been some unpleasantness o between Frills and her. But before she had to speak 0110 was saved by the arrival 'ef Neil. t "Well, look who's here! Hullo e Joyce, how are you?" he exclaimed, as shaking hands cordially with her. Joyce Abbott, of course! e "Well, why trot sit down? What's your hurry?" went on Neil in his " heartiest manner. "What do yon know? How's the new car work - t ing?" "Oh, it's just fine but I must nun along now. I'just came to ask Frills if she'd help on the affair for the Orphan's Vacation Camp. Good-bye and thanks ever so much." in - sort into It led with his g• see Neil with her the was secs for idc the 10- all, the li fa a d se re alt le 1 hi A n M th Maitland had once or twice at- tempted to reopen the subject of their leve, but Joyce had continued to treat him with such unmistakable coldness that he was baffled and finally let her alone. Ln her thoughts she now carne back, wtih a quickening of her puls- es, to the problem of her relations with Neil. They had gone out to- gether the evening before and cook- ed a eamp supper high up 'on a hill- sideoverlooking the :valley. They lingered until it woe dark, watch- ing the stars creep out into their places. Joyce, hugging her knees; sat and breathed in 'the peace and quiet, while Neil stretched out close to her, smoked a pipe and playing gently with Dickie's ears. Suddenly Nail had rolled over to- ward Joyce, and, putting his arms around her waist, laid his head on her lap. Joyce leaned back resting her weight on her hands behind her and, did not touch him. She had lately avoidedevery slightest dem- onstration of affection toward him, for she had come to the disconcert- ing conclusion more than once that Neil was finding it harder to keep his feelings in cheek., She could not help realizing that it was both unwise and unkind for her to slip her hand in his, to smooth back his hair, to lean against him when they sat together, to do any lone of the ,dozens of little caressing things which she found herself; in her liking and pity for him, invol•h "Good-bye," said Joyce. Slte spoke shortly, more because she could not think of anything to say than be- cause she wished to be disagreeable: Neil accompanied the caller out to her roadster. Joyce watching sur- reptitiously, was again amused to see the interest with which Neil lis- tened and the appealing little glanc- es Joyce Abbott threw at hint from her expressive blue eyes. "I've got her number," thought Joyce, '°she's the nitrafeminine sort who clings and makes the men feel big and strong and masculine." *sem Thinking over the past month, Joyce was •conscious of a baffled feeling of dissatisfaction when it came to her knowledge of Frills' gown past. In another direction also Joyce felt herself checked. She was no nearer accomplishing her purpose of getting back her baby than she bad been when she received the. first letter from Sophie. A second letter arrived that morning —exas- peratingly vague, very short and a- gain minus an address. Joyce tor- mented herself trying to solve the problem, but her determination did not weaken. Her thoughts swung round again to Neil. Whatwas she going to do? To continue indefinitely living in th'e same house with him asthey had • been doing was impossible. She ad not known what :she was un - dertaking'when she made' that decis- ion. "I suppose I should have gone a- way ,in the first place," she thought discouragedly; "I can't' realize in- side of me that I'm married to Neil Packard and I keep having the feel- ing that there's something all'wrong about living with a man so intim- ately and yet not really intimately, I'll never lose that feeling of uncom- fortable shyness and strangeness, I know, until . , . unless --oh, dear!" There might be among them a few congenial spirits • but she did not feel any too hopeful. Yet after all, what did it matter? She re- proved herself sharply for allowing the standards of Robert Ainsworth to influence her. Ile was nothing to her, she told herself.' * * As she sat there motionless, she was startled to see a man appear. With a little gasp of amazement Joyce recognized Robert Ainsworth. "Do you remember me?" asked Joyce. "Oh Lord, how like a woman! Of course I remember you, worse luck!" he added with such profound gloom that Joyce giggled.' ``You're my public, you know!" He looked at her quickly and broke into a smile. "Here --(please let me take your horse and turn her out into the cor- ral." "But '.. I was just thnking what a nice place this was to eat my lunch," said Joyce doubtfully. "Oh, but wait till you have tasted my coffee," he protested, starting to lead Rosati away. "I'm just going to eat lunch myself and I really can make good coffee," He was back in a surprisingly short time and said, "I never eat anything except bread and butter and fruit and coffee for lunch but I have plenty of truck in the shack and I can snake anything you like. Orders taken until two -thirty." "0h, please don't think of getting anything for me except coffee',' pro- tested Joyce quickly. "I have my sandwiches which I really must eat or Roxie's feelings would ba hurt." "Well, the coffee will be done in a few minutes. Sit down or stand up or do whatever you feel like do- ing. Just let me' present you with, the keys to the city." He put the coffee pot on as he spoke and Joyce asked, "Do the keys of the city include permission to ask questions?" "On all free admission days, yes, Except, of cdurse, when Claud Al- fred is around. He's just a lttle hit queer that way. Ever since be threw the mother of five children into the brook because she asked him wheth- er he thought a man's necktie should match his socks, I've had to warn casual visitors not to ask him ques- tions," "Well, I'm glad he isn't around because I want to ask---" "Oh, I know, You want to ash how I happen to be here. You want to say how extraordinary it is that we should meet here, after meeting in an equally extraordinary manner in San Francisco. You want to get personal. You're perfectly them- ing, Joyce Ashton, and I'm terrified of you. If I seem to be talking a lot and at random, you've only yourself to blame, My well-known poise is shattered— " He broke off abruptly, and Joyce dropped limply into a chair. Nothing could have surprised her more theta to bear Robert Ainsworth talking to her in this manner, "Weil, go ahead and tighten the clanmps," he continued. "You've heaped coals 'of fire on my head by your sum -1y acceptance of everything -haul me over them!" He smiled, but Joyce knew he was in deadly earnest, "Sentence suspended!" she grave- ly retorted. Their eyes met with inutual'approval for a moment, and then Joyce lightly turned the con- versation to the world of books,Oontinued next week) AUBURN Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Ewing and their 10 -year-old son escaped in their night attire at an early hour Tues- day morning when fire, ftoan an un- determined cause, totally destroyed their hone. Tile loss will be apt proximately ;$2,500, partly covered by insurance. Part of the furniture was removed. First intimation the family had of the fire was when they were a -- wakened about 2.30 o'clock by ex- ploding cartridges in the kitchen of the horse. The Auburn hand pump - ere was brought into action and the flames were prevented from spread- ing to other buildings. The fire fighters were aided ,by the calmness of .the night and the tall tree's sur rounding. the. house, also by the fact that the village' has an adequate we er supp y from three large stor- age tanks. The home, located on Loftus street was, one of the oldest houses in Auburn and was especially well built. >It was' at one time the home of Hon. George Bell, who was pro- vineial treasurer of Saskatchewan 25 years ago. Mr. Ewing has not yet decided about rebuilding. 111s excellent garden was somewhat damaged by the heat of the flames, The young people _ of the com- munity'gathered at the home of Miss Gladys Taylor, daughter of 'Mr. and Mrs.. Jeremiah Taylor Thursday ev- ening and presented her with an end table, sewing cabinet and magazine stand. Miss Taylor, was married on Wednesday to Lloyd Raithby, son of Mr. and Mrs. James Raithby, Ilul- lett Township. HAIL THE HAIL! It's a long time between , hail storms in St. Thomas, one of the Virgin Islands, near the Canadian National's Canada -Wiest Indies route, This spring official records showed the first fall of hail there in 105 years. Superstitious natives got so much ' excited as to offer prayers, fearing a world catastrophe. eVe in Canada, especially Western Canada, know its often a catastrophe, though its scope may be restricted.

C=z-.11=5 Lone Scout Revives Drowned Girl The Scout honour of first succese- fully using artificial respiration this summer went to Patrol Leader Jack Evans of a Lone Scout Patrol , of Carman, Man. After assisting in re- covering the body of a girl bather who had been submerged some fif- teen minutes, Swat Evans promptly began the artificial breathing, finally with success. - r BOY SCOUT PLEDGE The rules on which the Boy Scout movement is based, are simple and fundamental. To a great extent they form the bed rock of all character, either adult or juvenile. If a boy starts the business of living, by ob- serving the pledge which he takes as a Scout, he will find less difficulty in meeting the tests of manhood. One of the virtues of the Scout pledge is its simplicity. It lays down no rules which any normal boy, living a carefree, normal life cannot follow. But it does accentuate honor and behaviour A boy who, in his youth, cultivates habits of hon- esty, industry, courtesy and self -re, Rance is well equipped for life. Of the two million Bay Scouts in the world, 900,000 are in the British Empire and 62,000 are in Canada, The movement is growing steadily, as it deserves to grow. The Boy Slout pledge is as follows: A Scout's honor is to be trusted. A Scout is loyal to the King, his country, his officers, his parents, his employers, and to those under him. A Scout's duty is to be useful and to help others. A Scout is a frienc= to all and a brother to every other Scout, no matter to what social class the other belongs. A Scout is courteous. A Scout is a friend to animals. A Scout obeys orders of his par- ents, patrol leader or Scout-tnaster, without question. A Scout smiles and whistles ander+ all difficulties, A, Scout is thrifty. A Scout is clean in thought, w and deed; d SALT{ELD FAMILY CELEBRATE 100TH ANNIVERSARY O: ' SETTLEMENT IN CANADA The 100th anniversary of the coni; ing to Canada from Cumberland Clounty, England, of John ,Salkeld, the founder of the family in Canada, was fittingly marked by 138 of his descendants on Saturday week, when they held a family reunion at the farm of John W, Salkeld, Bayfield road, south of Goderich, on the farm that was cleared by the first Salkeld to come to Huron County. There were descendants present from Stratford, Caledonia, Toronto, Winnipeg, Michigan, London, St. Marys, Guelph and many Huron County points. Members of the family, still large landowners and prominent in the township in which the name has been known so long, at one time owned 11,000 acres, including part of the town site of Goderich, extending south on the lake shore road and east to the Huron road. John W. Salkeld, the president, presided at Saturday's function, and the . 100 -year-old farm, with its modern buildings, was gayly decor ated for the occasion, and the nearly one hundred and two snore members of the family enjoyed themselves im- mensely. DO YOU MEASURE UP? Here are the ideal parents; "The mother--ehe lets the childre pass the candy when company comes she is a good cook and make 's fus over her children when they cook meal; she reads to them, plays wit them, let's them go to see thei friends and lets their friends corn to their home; she allows her chit dren to lick the frosting dish, ha, cookies and candy in the house an asks the youngsters what they lik for supper; "The father --+he jokes and play make-believe,he lets his sons use hi; tools; he is kind to animals; h plays baseball with the children an is a good batter; he helps the child ren with their home wont; he take his sons hunting with him; and, 11 helps his wife•" Those aren't the requisites dra up by a child expert; they are th mandates of the children themselve,, as obtained from questionnaire.+. —Exchange If everybody Did It! Think for a moment what would happen if, even for one week, everybody in town were to shop elsewhere—either in a neighboring town or by mail! Would it not cause consternation, and would not alt business houses be very much concerned? They certainly would and with good reason. Soffle o This regularly ---{And what is the result? Every dollar sent to distant business houses is gone for good so far as that particular district is concern- ed, and merely serves to build up and maintain some distant town. The local business men are robbed of that circulation of money which during its ramblings might help dozens along the way, How . bout rutting? All business houses need• more or less printed matter, all of which is within the possibilities of the local. printer. Yet how prone many are to pass up the home printer and let the orders go to city offices which have no interest whatever in rural•connntunities except to get printing orders and the cash paid for them. Business men, re- member that the home paper is constantly promoting the interests of the home community and you owe it to yourself and your local paper to back up these efforts by at least having your printed mat- ter done locally.
