THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD TIIITAS., JUNE 29, 1933 €LINOR- BARRY �^ pries we... SYNOPSIS: Synopsis; Joyce Ashton, poor stenographer, suffered loss of mem- ory in a skidding taxicab accident in Chicago. One morning tree years Iater 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, blaming 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 decided 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. At his request they call upon Neil's mother, whom Joyce finds adorable. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "And you live here all alone and write"? asked Joyce. "You forget Claud Alfred," replied Ainsworth with a smile. Joyce giggled at the fiction of Claud Alfred. Why had she known from the first that there was no Claud Alfred Tremayne? ' She found out, among other scat- tered items of information, that this shack was his real headquarters from which he went away every few months and stayed in San Francisco, New York, New Orleans, St. Augus- tine, Boston or various midde west cities. He had not been at the shack for three .months and expected to stay until he finished his present book, which would probably be about two more months. When she reluctantly decided she must start back to Maszanita, Ains- worth suggested riding part of the way with her, to the point where he would branch off onto the road to had never valued the luxury of pri- vacy and undisturbed' • quiet more than on this particular night. She wished to forget everything and everybody except Robert Ainsworth. During the next day, however, the inevitable reaction occurred. Doubts and fears plunged her down disas- trously from the heights of exalta- tion to frequent moods of black un- certainty and hopelessness. Where could this end, this delightful, this nriraculous meeting? She was mar- ried to Neil Packard. Yet even as she forced this undeniable fact up- on her consciousness, there stole into her mind the disturbing thought "But that was why I was holding Neil off all this time ... I was wait- ing for Robert!" IIow could she be Neil's wife now? ; Every heart beat was lifting her on an irresistible wave of longing and sweeping her toward the other span. Joyce was in bed before Neil got home that night and the next morn- ing, a little ashamed of her coward- ice, she remained in her room until he had left for the day, pretending to be asleep when he knocked gently before he finally departed. She got lup as soon as she heard his car roll lout of the drive, dressed in her rid- 1 ing habit, and ate a hurried break- fast. She pretended to herself that 'she was simply going for a long ride. She told herself that it was too soon to make another call on Ainsworth and that she had no intention of do- ing anything so foolish. She eer- Itainly did not want him to think she was pursuing him! Yet, somehow, about noon she found herself at the 1 foot of the trail. Suddenly she iheard horse's hoofs behind her. "Hullo," exclaimed Robert Ains- rorth, coming up at a gallop. "I was just thinking as I rode along that to have to eat lunch alone on such a clay was enough to make the angel's weep!" Joyce's heart lightened at a bound. Deep gratitude flooded her at this casual but warm reception. She Ismiled happily, all her doubts dis- pelled. She was glad, glad, glad that site had come! Ancl during the three hours she stayed with Robert Ainsworth, eating lunch with him, 1 helping him' wash the dishes, and "Joyce looked silently up into hie face" Manana. He saddled Rosita and his own, a strong -looking dapple gray, who carte to his call from the far end of the corral Drawing reinat the parting place Ainsworth gave her an inquiring look, and Joyce knew that he was about to ask her if he might not go to see her. "I'll -4'l1 come out again soon," she said quickly and spurred her horse to a galloping start. She waved her hand without looking back. Joyce rode home in a daze. Me- chanically she undressed, bathed, dressed again, and ate her dinner. After dinner she retreated to her room and settled herself luxuriously on tho couch. She lay in her blissful trance. She held both of Robert Ainsworth's books, fingering them, stroking thein with worshipping fingers, op- ening the covers, glancing at the first sentences, tasting, and then putting off the delights of reading. She wondered how the shack look- ed at night, what Robert Ainsworth Was doing at this moment while she lay and thought about him. Did he sleep on that wide couch under the window, or out of doors in the hammock under the pines with the multitude of stars gravely keeping watch overhead in the deep velvet of the sky? As she came to this thought something seemed to grip her heart, and she clenched her hands sudden- ly. She was in love with Robert 'Ahis worth! Thank God, Neil was away. Joyce listening. to his nonsense, she con- tinued to be glad, The conversation was kept, as if by mutual consent, light and bant- ering, impersonal. "I've finished Glittering Pave- ments," she remarked in a pause, "but I'm saving The Rose Adobe a little longer, It's such riches to have two •books by Robert Ains- worth at ,once! You can't think how I adore your writing. I wish I could express myself better," hoping he would not think her stupid; "of course, you don't need any praise from tae, but I do want you to know how much I enjoy your books. Ev- erything you write is so satisfac- tory .. , it has such strength .. there always seems to be something to bite on." She paused, suddenly overcome by the futility of her grop- ing for words and looked at him, ap- pealing to his tolerance and under- standing of her difficulty. Ife smiled at her and in his smile there was no trace of condesension nor mockery nor bored disgust. It was a cheerful, completely under- standing,even a grateful smile. It warmed Joyce from the tips of her toes, made her feel as if he had ac- cepted her as a friend, an equal not just a girl who might be flirted with. "Nice girl!" he commented briefly. `iStrengtit' . . . something to bite on. You couldn't say anything to please. me any better than that When she was leaving Ainsworth'' said, "Do you think you can find the way if you drive 'out sometime? Ifni sort of looking' forward to meeting Dickie. You'll bring him sure, won't you?" "Oh, yes, I can find that back road and P11 bring Dickie. But . but I can't help worryng about ... about interrupting you?" "Forget, it! While Claud Alfred's away I do as I damn please in'.. the matter of visitors. I often work at night too, you see. There isn't anuch else that's more tempting to do out here so I tear off quite a bit each twenty-four hours just whenever I feel like it. No particular hurry, either." ,She dismounted from Resits just as Neil drove his oar into the gar- age. When he joined her and they turned toward the house together, he said, "Been out long, Frills?" "Why, most all day. It was so lovely and I had my hunch so I kept going farther and farther." "I was sort of hoping you'd feel like a ride with me but—" "Oh, I'm sorry, Neil. But I really am tired. I went pretty far." "Want to go over to Paul's to- night." went on Neil, "lie's leaving in a couple of weeks now, he said today. Got most of his plans all made. I'll ... I'll miss old Paul." Joyce bit her lips and frowned as she tried to decide what to do. "You go on over to Paul's, Neil. I'm going to be so sleepy from my long ride that' I'd yawn my head off, I know, and that would be so an- noying to Paul," she said finally. Neil did not urge her and at din- ner, after his first few attempts at conversation had met with vague, absent-minded replies, he finished his areal its silence. The next morning during break- fast Joyce said suddenly, "Neil, I'm so sick of that hideous yellow Deus- enburg. I wish I could turn it in ascl get a different one. Would you mind?" Neil grinned. "Well, I never did care much for it myself. Sure, you can do whatever you like about it." "If ... if I drove the Duesenberg up to the city today, do you think I could make the exchange right off without too much red tape?" "Oh, yes, I don't believe you'd have any trouble. How about run. ning up and taking in a show to- night and driving pack tormorow? I've got a little business to see in the city and I'd like to drive up with you," suggested Neil Joyce sighed inwardly. She did not want to go to a show: She had looked forward to the drive alone, a chance to dream uninterrupted, . . But after all she owed ;Neil a debt that seemed to grow greater in proportion to her regard for Robert Ainsworth, "All right," she raid. To her disappointment Joyce found that she would have to wait a couple of days in order to obtain the car she wanted. And when they ran into Ross and Clarice Emory, Neil suggested their staying up in San Francisco a second night and making a party to go to the theatre together. Tho following clay they started back about noon asd drove to Man- zanita in the new roadster, a beaut- iful car, but entirely unlike the "Easter Egg," for its mirror-like en- amel surface was a deep blue, al- most black. Three whole clays since she had seen Robert Ainsworth! That was the thought which put all others in- to the background as they approach- ed Manzanita, So impatient was she to see Ains- worth again that it was not yet noon the next day when she arrived at the entrance to the wood road and guid- ed the new Duesenberg carefully down through the pines to the rustic garage. When Joyce arrived at the shack she found Ainsworth engaged in giving his horse a thorough curry- ing. He stopped and carie to weI- come her and Dickie, displaying a most satisfactory amount of enthus- iasm. After a stick had been thrown for Dickie until the little dog was weary and panting, Robert and Joyce talk ed. And as usual; the world drifted for Joyce far away from this lonely spot. Toward the end of the afternoon they happened to be inside the house for a moment, standing in front of the bookshelves while Ainsworth bunted for a volume of poems which he had mentioned and from which he wanted tc read to her. Joycewatched him as he bent over the bookcase, his eyesrunning swiftly over the titles along the shelves. Her heart filled withsud- den pain. She loved him! She adored him! This . feeling which singed through • her wasthe kind of 'love she had dreamed about, for which she had wistfully yearned as a young girl Instinctively, she re- cognized. it. Was love always partly pain. Ainsworth Was speaking but she` hardly knew what he was say - "Oh, damn the luck! I must have left it in the city Last time, I'll get; it when I go up next week, if I can remember to..,.. 1 want to read you the one on the Eucalyptus Grove. You'd like it. . . He turned. Joyce looked up into hisface sil- ently. His expression 'changed ab- ruptly. Suddenly he put his hands en her ,shoulders. "Why don't you, bring your aunt along as chaperon?" he demanded. Ile was smiling but to Joyce's amazement his voice I shook. "You ... you can't expect me to stay impersonal much longer, you know," he exclaimed, now very softly, "Not while you're so while you're such a sweet child! I. ... I can't keep my hands off you; you lovely ;. . . adorable . ..beauti- ful---c" Very gently his one arm slid about her shoulders, and he drew her close to hint. Then he bent his head. and laid his cheek against hers as he rnurniured the last words, His arms tightened around Joyce's yielding form. (Continued next week) • We hope that when next we inter- view the banker about our overdraft bo will follow the example of Mr. Cordell Hull, representative of the United States government at the world conference, and tell us polite- ly but firmly: "No Sir, you can't bring that subject up here. It is not on the agenda." The conference would be more likely to arrive at a common agree- ment if this world which the confer- ence represents were in active coan- mercial competition with some other world. tit That Judge Stubbs, directly upon being removed from the bench, should be offered nomination as a candidate for the House of Commons M a constituency and province in which he isnot a resident is indica- tive of the state of the public• mind at the present time. The charges against him were laid by the attor- ney general of the Farm -Labor gov- ernment of Manitoba. The Minister of Justice at Ottawa granted an in- quiry under Mr. Justice Ford of Saskatchewan, who !received his appointment as a judge frons the sante government that appointed Mr. Stubbs. (We mention this merely to show that M. Stubbs was not the victim of partisan prosecution). Mr. Justice Forel reported that Mr. Stubbs was unfit for the bench and intimated that his case was pathol- ogical. This lack of judieal temperament will not affect his power as a campaigner. In times like these the characteristics that made him im- Possible as a judge will slake hitt formidable as a candidate. o•-••*ts One of the first things proposed to be done at the London gathering is to adopt a standard of value. Gold is preferred if provision can be made to avoid fluctivations. It is agreed at last that if it is to be a measure it must take on the qual- ifications of an ounce or a pound, a foot or a yard. t We were told recently of a woman who for many years now has made it a practice to set something aside for charity every time she is the re- cipient of a kindness. It was not surprising to be told also that she gives away more than she can real- ly afford. Embarrassing question: Is your name in that belly Who's Who? car_.—y The favorite song of the bandits who rob pay -rolls: "I love a Pay Raid", 4ear Meet A daily newspaper carried an editorial recently railing against Monopolies except such as are own- ed and controlled by the state. The monopoly that always appealed to us the nearest to perfection is owned and controlled by daily newspapers, It is air -tight, water -tight, fool- proof, armored and rivetted with steel. Nothing •ever attempted, cer- tainly nothing ever achieved, in oil or matches, gas or diamonds can ap- proach it in efficiency. The present owners control the franchises of the great news -gathering bureaux and no one else can have these services without their consent. Under this arrangement there is no combina tion of wealth powerful enough to start a daily, It is a monopoly that effectually excludes new competition. We have been looking up the list of things about which we would not ask or accept clerical direction and find that it includes the general management of our banking and transport systems and industrial enterprises. c=e11==, The dusky delegates pf a small African state created some merri- ment at the conference by expressing the opinion that the world's ills could be cured if people would con- sume more rum and bananas. But is not that the attitude of all the nations—to broaden the markets for their own particular products? air There is one law for the rich and one for the poor says a member of parliament, We do nto know what this law is, .but we do know of laws that apply to members of parliament but not to the rest of us. They can, for instance, Tido free on railway trains, mail letters free of postage from Ottawa, say things in parlia- ment for which they could be pro- secuted outside, and they are im- mune from legal processes during sessions. If the laws aro to be made applicable to all then Ottawa is just the place to start in, and the member who says they are not ap- plicable to all is just the person to start it. C1 ' Some of those clergymen who have lost faith in the present form of government and demand a new sort of co-operative system also complain that even the church is not fulfilling its mission as it should although it has in it some sort of co-operative system. A lay writer views this critical spirit among clergymen with induI- gence because they are the most poorly paid of all the professions. So they are, but whether the social- ization of finance, transportation and industry would better, their state is very doubtful. Anyway why stop there? Why not include the pulpit and the press in this grand scheme of solialization? What Other Newspapers are Saying MUST HAVE SUPPORT In order to be of greatest value to its community, a newspaper must be prosperous; it must earn by legiti- mate support from subscribers, ad- vertisers and users sof printed mat- ter a sufficient amount to be able to put out a paper worthwhile. The better supported your home paper 10, the more able it is to Serve the goanmunity.--Simcoe Reformer. eeal=o STARTLING FIGURES The Ontario Government has re- cently issued soaitd startling figures on the -number of motor accidents .and their tragic consequences for the year 1932, which constitute a sorry reflection upon the record of this fair province. Here they are: 9,171 accidents.' 502 ,persons killed. 8,231 persons injured. }$944,510.00' property damage (es- timated) 2,962 pedestrians involved. 13,600 motor,, vehicles involved. 13,060 drivers involved, . 98 children killed. 1,807; children, ihjm'ed ' ! . 27 bicyclists killed. 680 bicyclists injured. It is unnecessary to pass comment on this ghastly toll taken by acci- dents which in the majority of cases could have been prevented. It is the story of carelessness, lack of vigilance, and sheer recicl•essness. It will have its sequel during the Pre- sent motoring season unless drivers come to appreciate their responsibil- ity and inaugurate a new era of "Care, Courtesy and Commonsense" —Sinicoe Reformer. 7� 'y SOME GOOD ADVICE Again we urge all who can do so at all, to make provision against the coming winter. Only tho molt un- likely :circumstances are likely to make conditions any better than, if as good as, the conditions of the winter of 1932-33. Now's the' time to get ready. —Exeter Times -Advocate. btu PART OF THE PRICE PAID A part of the price that this coun- try is paying for the depression is s -z'9® +cs+ the lowering of morale in many cite, zens who have learned to prefer re- lief to work, In addressing the St. Marys • Rotarians on Monday night, 17..

SPEAICEI1S WHO DON'T LISTEN WHEN OTHERS ARE SPEAKING At the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Churchlast week, the Moderator was impelled to lecture his brother clerics for laughing and joking outside the church while de- votions were being conducted within. The point is illuminating. We fancy the offenders would have been great- ly shocked had they been conducting devotions in their church while oth- er people created a disturbance out- side, yet, when the shoe was on the other foot, they carried on thought- lessly. So often do we see similar occurrences. Seehool teadhers who send scholars out of the uiooin or ev- en strap them for not paying atten- tion in class are often noticed at tea - then' conventions carrying on con- versation with their desk -mates while others are speaeking from the platform It's a streak of perversity that seems to run in the human fam- ily. Or maybe it's just plain egoism. If we speak we think everybody should be silent and listen; musicians feel the same way when they play; yet they are unwilling to tender the same courtesy to others. —Hanover Post. DOINGS IN THE SCOUT WORLD There are 1.507 Catholic Boy Scout troops in 103 archdioceses and dioceses in the United States. A battle against tent caterpillars is being carried on this spring by the Scouts of the Eastern Townships, Quebec. Princess Alice Opens Scout Exhibit A three-day Exhibition of Scout - craft held in the Corn Erchange Brighton, was opened by H. R. H. Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone. Headmaster of Eton Addresses Scouts A gathering of 600 Boy Scouts of Slough and district was addressed at Eton by Dr. Alington, Headmaster of the famous school. Rhodes Scholarship To O.A.C. Scout A Rhodes scholarship, the first wort at Ontario Agricultural College, has gone to an English Whitehead Scout scholarship student, W. J. Garnet. Several Whitehead scholar- ships, a full course at a Canadian agricultural college, are awarded English Scouts each year. The 1933 medalist at Kemptville A. C., also is an Old Country scholarship Scout. t --1t Scouts Watch Delirious Hospital Patients A unique form of service taken up by Rover Scouts of Camberwell, Len - den, is the watching of dilirious pat- ients at King's College Hospital. When needed, the hospital 'phones, and two Rovers are provided at once. They relieve one another every two hours. A hundred Rovers are listed for the service, which is highly val- ued by the hospital authorities. Canadian Flag To N.S.W. Scouts Tn response to an invitation re- ceived through the Canadian Trodc Commissioner at Melbourne, a Cana- dian flag from the Scouts of Canada was presented to the New South Wales Scout Association at an Inter- national Flag Ceremony at New- castle. The presentation was made. by President A. S. Challen of Toc-1I., in the presence cif the State Governor. The flag now flies with others at Glenrock, the New South Wales Scout training centre. HIGHWAYS SAFETY CAMPAIGN Again, the Minister of highway', The Hon. Leopold Macauley, through the Motor Vehicles Branch, is inaug- urating an aggressive, widespread publicity campaign in an effort to stem the tide of disaster on the streets and highways of the Pro- vince. Despite an educational program which the Highways Department have carried out over a period of years, deaths and injuries caused by motor vehicle traffie are alarmingly • unnecessarily high. The Highways Department t'ie year is utilizing daily and weekly .. newspapers, the trade press, school tdacher's, the radio—every available - ineans—to improve conditions. The News -Record bespeaks the thought- • ful cooperation of every motorist and every pedestrian in the interest o. safety The number of accidents reported each day of our public highways should cause us all to poi - dor this matter and do what we oat to . stem the tide of slaughter.
