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.

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.

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

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.

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

ly afford.

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.

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?

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.

' 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

In order to be of greatest value to
its community, a newspaper must be

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"

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.

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.

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.
