THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD b*i £LINOR- BARRY pxmW.- SYNOPSIS: Synopsis: Joyce Ashton, poor stenographer, suffered less of mem- ory in a skidding taxicab accident in Chicago..' One morning two years later she woke, after a fall from her horse, fuer 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 hi 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 woinan 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 hone, 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. Later, -she met the poet, Robert Ainsworth, and several times stop- ped for lunch at his cabin when she was horseback riding. One day he started to melte love to her. Later, Joyce makes full confession--Iher loss of memory and its restoration. When Neil accuses Joyce and Ain- sworth of being in love Ainsworth makes a graceless exit and leaves upon arriving at home is called to his mother's home. Joyce decides she roust go away. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "Roxie knew you better than I did," Neil said slowly. "I gues that's a setback for me all righ . I was so bowled over by wha you told nie that clay with that Ainsworth fellow that I didn't kno 220R. FRED G.

I know it's only your kindness, your, natural .sweet- hese----" boyce's- voice choked up, and she left the table: Neil fol- lowed her into the living -room. "Well, we won't go into that just now, Frills, .if it bores you." Joyce was, about to remonstrate with him for his misconstruction of .her' words, when he went hastily on. "By the way, I found ' lomothing that'll probably interest ' you a diary kept by you --.by Frills-- be, ginning about the time of our arriv- al home in Manzanita after our mar- riage." "Can I see it, Neil?" "Sure, I'll get' it, just a minute." And ho went rather wearily .out of the room. Joyce was worried at the change in Neil. He seemed to have lost all his enthusiasm, all his spirit. "I hope ht's not really 111,", she thought miserably. "Of course his mother's death was an awful blow. Perhaps a little time . . ." Her • mind was running along this course when Neil came back. "May I look at it with you?" ho asked, "I didn't read much of it. Somehow it seemed --not quite right.. I thought I'd put it away and read it with you --, when you came home." He spoke so quietly that Joyce barely caught the words. "Neil," she said impulsively, paus- ing before she opened the book, "I do feel at home here!" He smiled, a. sudden sweet flash that warmed Joyce to the heart, and gravely they opened the diary be, tween them. It was nearly midnight when they laid the book aside. Fascinated they had read every word of the s bold handwriting that danced over t its pages; and, fascinated, they had t suffered with the curious lost spir it that had cried -out her secret fears w in her journal.

Why do I endure him around me? God knows! I flirt with him like a common street woman -yet I love Neil. Why do I do it? Sometimes I feel as if it's to try Neil's patience, to see how much he really will stand from me. There seemsto be no lin-, ib to his affections!" " . I've gone almost the limit and it's done no good! What did I thick it would • do? Clod knows!

But Neil won't—,be never will ' P11 have to kill myself first. Perhaps that horse, that surly brute Fire Queen. But I have a charmed life—a charm- ed and a damned one! 'How is this thing going to end?". And the last entry in the book, in sprawling blotted characters: "I've been rotten over that baby of Sylvia's Of course Neil wants it brought on here.' But a Child why should I wreck a poor child's life as I'm wrecking Neil's? It's better off where it is—,I'm a lost soul now." "Neil," said Joyce at last. "Neil, doesn't it help to know that Frills did care about you? She did love ycu." Neil did not reply to her question, and Joyce saw that he was trembling like a leaf. -"Do you think—do you think, Joyce, that things might turn out as mother hoped they would? Do you think you could feel that this was home? I shan't bother you much myself, but we might bring on Lawton's child, and do our best with it, between us." "Oh, Neil, I feel as Frills said, that in this crazy world it's something to know that loyalty like yours exists! .. Do you want ine, now, knowing 1 all this? It's been a sorry business, and it seems to me you've been the victim!" "No victim about it," he said shortly. "1 mean—I do want you — if, well -- what about this Aains- worth?" "Ainsworth — Robert Ainsworth!" Joyce suddenly had an idea. "Neil," she said, "I think I see now what Robert Ainsworth felt that day! I think he must have felt ashamed of his part in the whole affair•—I think be must have seen it all, have real- ized what a splendid person you were, and have felt that he simply couldn't rim off with your wife!" Nell looked at her aideways "Sounds like the bunk to ine. What on earth makes you think that?" "Well, you see, Neil, I never saw him after that day in the woods, and you remember he behaved so queer- ly, rejecting one by his silence!" Joyce had to swallow hard to keep back the emotion that surged over her at the memory, but she went quickly on: "I'd always felt so sure that he was an exalted being, somebody fin, er than the rest of the world, and for him to turn into—into just a cad seethed all wrong, I'd rather be able to think of him without bitterness— and I do feel sure I'm right, that hi simply couldn't bring himself to take your wife away." Neil smiled. "All right with me, darling; think anything you please as long as you don't think too nnnch!" Joyce regarded hint tenderly "Neil," she said softly, "May I make a confession to you? I've always fancied 'myself so superior to Frills, but I wasn't really nearly as—as keen. • It's taken me a terribly long time to find out what she knew all TIME TABLE 'Trains will arrive at and depart from Clinton as follows: Buffalo• and Goderich Diva Going East, depart 7.08 a.m. Going East depart 3.00 p.m. Going West, depart 11.50 a.m. .Going West, depart 9.58 p.m. London.

Joyce saw that he was trembling like a leaf. what to believe. I began to think I just imagined I'd • been married at 'all." Just then Joyce saw Roxie mov- ing owing capably about the dining -room, and running to her, she flung her arms impulsively about the older woman, "Roxie, you darling!" she cried. "Sant told me how wonderful you've been—" Roxie beamed and flushed with pleasure. "I didn't cio nothing!" she said confusedly. "But, any, it's good to have you back, Mrs. Packard, we've certainly missed you! And now do come in to dinner if you and Mr. Neil are ready." "Where's Dickie?" she asked Neil, when they were seated,. "I haven't seen him since I got back!" "Oh, that's right — I "must send for him. He's been living with Sam since you left Moped about the house so dismally that we thought he was going to cash in, poor chap. I couldn't do anything with him, He kept looking at Me reproach- fitlly, es if asking what I'd done with you. It gave me the creeps." "Funny little Dickie," said Joyce. Conversation lagged. Joyce did not want to ask any questions cov- ering the time of her absence, •thinking she might turn Neil's thoughts toward his mother, and cause him pain. She likewise did not want to tell him anything about her life in San Francisco during that time; it now was assuming the unreality of a bad dream, and she had no wish to revive the memories by talking about it. So she ate si- lently. • All at once she was aware that Neil was regarding her thought- fully, with a brooding stare unlike the matter -of fastness she remem- bered in him. "Anything wrong, Neil?" she asked nervously. "Oh, Neil, it's so terrible!" cried Joyce. "I knew Frills had been a bad lot, but I never thought of her as suffering somehow — I, never thought of her as doing all these things deliberately, in a sort of crazy' effort to get back her ident- ity—to remember!" "Yes," said Neil. "I don't know much about these things, but I should think the medicos might ex- plain that second blow -- the time you were thrown from Fire Queen—, as a sort of mental snapping, due to the pitch you'd worlced yourself up to." Frills diary filled in most of the gaps in the story that Neil had gradually pieced out that day fon Joyce. Front the scattered notes she learned that Frills had been conscious of her loss of memory, but filled with the conviction that all at once, some day, it would come to her whom she was, where she carne from—her whole place of life.

R eligions Conference Lake Couchicking r -r A seven-day Conference on Relig, ion, which should be of unusual in-' terest.to ministers and laymen, will be held August 12 to' 19, at YMCA Park, Lake Couchichtng, Ontario. The° Conference, which has been arranged by the YMCA National Council in consultation with ,leaders of the various Protestant churches, grows out. of the current interest in personal religion. Its aim is to pro, vide an opportunity for those inter- ested to join in a search for deeper levels of Christian fellowship, for a new understanding of the nature of religious experience, and for a better appreciation of the relations between personal and social religion. It is hoped that the Conference will fur; nish a meeting ground for many di- verse points of view, and through the free exchange of experience will lead to mutual understanding and e better integration of religious ,mow Dr. Macintosh will be remembered. as the Canadian who aroused widea spread interest in both countries by refusing to pledge himself to bear arms if called upon when applying for United States citizenship. As rt religious leader he participated in the recent triangular debate in the Christian Century with Professors "Nieman and Otto "Conversations A- bout God," and later with Professor John Dewey. Mr. Macintosh is the author of several books, including: "The Reasonableness of Christianity" and "The Pilgrimage of Faith in the World of Modern Thought." Professor Thomson, as secretary of the great, Jerusalem meeting of the International Missionary Colin, cil in 1928 collated documents, ad, caresses and findings, and compiled and -edited the famous seven volume report of that important gathering. Since coming to Canada he bas won an influential place among thinking people and the affection of those who know hien personally. In the evening Dr. J. E.

I couldn't tell him, And I had to marry him -snot again in a lifetime am T likely to meet a man so surely possessing that which can be de- pended on.

IT WAS DIFFERENT IN THOSE DAYS We have often heard people saying that the pioneers never got any as- sistance when they came to this coun- try. Probably this is true. They got in here and had to make it stick. They had no way of getting out. But there are other things to con- sider. The pioneers were not ,paying for paved roads. They were not paying for an expen- sive school system. They were not paying to help keep an army of inspectors busy. They ,were not buying things on the instalment plan. They did not have to invest hun- dreds of dollars in harvesting ma, chinery nor did they have tokeepit in repair. They did not have to pay for inter- est nterest on government debts. All honor to the pioneers, but let us remember that they had not bump, ed into the load of taxation which the fanner of today has to carry. Exchange. • NOMINAL WARNING The name "Bermuda," usually used in the singular, is sometiines used in the plural, because Bermuda consists of 365 coral islands, the Bermudas; whereas the name "Barbados," often erroneously used in the plural, should always be singular, since Barbados consists of but one principal island Thus: "Bermuda" or the "Bermudas" but "Barbodos," never "the Barba dos." Both are British colonies an the Canadian National's West Indies steamer service. DkI You Ever Stop to think --Just what a ten dollar bill which a farmer spends in his home town may accomplish? Let us follow it around, Probably the dry goods merchant gets it first. IIe passes it on to the hardware merchant in payment of an account. The hardware merchant pays it in wages to one of his employees. This employee pays it to his landlady, who pays a grocery bill with it. The grocer can then pay his butcher. The butcher passes this on to his produce mer- chant, and this produce merchant, buying largely from. the farmer, passes this ten clillars back to the farmer, from' whom it originally tame. Thus it has, in its ramblings among the home town people, served many useful purposes and yot it is still in the community to again serve. $ Sent Away To Distant Merchants --That ten dollar bill is gorse for good. It may serve to build up the large city elsewhere. But so far as the home eonnnunity is concerned its usefulness is at an end, and the community has been drained of just that much working capital. hen in Need of Printing . —Remember that orders left with your home town printer will serve to pay wages of workmen who in turn spend this money with local business houses, thus serving to maintain that round of bupi- • ness which is necessary in order that rural towns throughout Canada may flourish and prosper.
