CHAPTER XIII
TEA WITH "THE ENEMY"
"Where did you hire that car? In
Haunter?"
"And where is the Cremorne?"
"I left it in the garage up there."
"When were you going back?"
"To -day, I must go back to -day."
That was all that was said between
them on the way back to town. He
drove her into the garage where she
had had her car parked that night,
and arranged for a breakdown car to
go out and bring the wreck in. He
also paid something far the car which
he had been driving.
"I hired it to follow you in, in
case you tried to make a getaway!"
he informed her, candidly.
"And now," he said, as she stood
by with no idea in her aching head
as to what she should do next.
"There's no getting back to Haunter
until this afternoon on the service.
car. The time is now 11-15, and I
had no breakfast before we began this
silly game. Suppose we 'go and have
morning tea somewhere?"
- Conscious of something more than
a mere invitation in his voice •— in
fact his tone had an edge of a com-
mand in it, Lorna went with him
quietly. She would be glad to sit
down.
"So this is what it's like for an
innocent woman to' be the dupe of
a criminal," she thought. The only
difference was that she was not a
dupe, he was the dupe being soothed
into a false sense of security , .
They went to a large restaurant on
the to of one of the big stores, to
which she had been before with Mrs,
Shane. She slipped into the cloak
room, and combed and set her curls,
and made up her face with the im-
plements of female battle which she
had in her handbag She pushed. in
the crown of her brown felt hat, and
gave it as smart an angle as might
be—but except as a disguise it had
never been a success. Her face was
white and there were heavy dark
rings under her eyes.
She met Hawksford in the lounge.
As they crossed the restaurant, Lorna
wondered what the smart women
shoppers who crowded the tables
about them would have thought if
they could have known the situation!
The danger and the tragic possibilit-
ies of it!
They sat at the table by the win-
dow. He seemed perfectly at ease
and glanced at her face with the
faintly wistful amusement that men
display about such things:
"I suppose your face feels itself
again with all those little spots of
powder and little dabs of paint?"
"It seems more normal that way,"
said Lorna.
"Well, you really didn't put on a
disguise to disguise yourself, did you
—you took one off!"
She poured out his tea and obeyed.
his request for two lumps of sugar,
He took the .cup, and the teapot also
out of her hand, and poured her tea
for her.
"You're shaking, and you look
pretty rotten after that smash up.
You'd better go to an hotel, or to
some friends, and lie down while I
see about the car"
"I do feel rather shaken!"
The tea made her feel better, until
he remarked with. faint sarcasm.
"If you see anyone here who knows
us both, what will you feel, being
caught having tea with a chauffeur.
Lorna turned her face to the win-
dow, and said nothing. How desper-
ately reckless he must be, she thought
to be able to joke like that, as if
infinitely more serious things were
not involved!
"To -morrow. I have to drive you
through to Kaikoura, haven't I?" he
said.
"I believe so," said Lorna.
To -morrow was the 27th, the next
day the 28th, and the day after that
was the 29th when her father would
return from the Chathams. Suddenly
she remembered something which had
b:+en driven from her head by the
alarms and excursions of the morn-
ing. She had to find out where Gul-
liver's Bay was, if she was to be
there on the afternoon of the 28th!
With her disquieting escort she left
the restaurant twenty minwtes later.
"Are you, going to take my advice
to go. and lie down somewhere?" he
said.
"Yes, I think I will!"
"Perhaps you'd better not go to the herself in the witness -box, giving

"And you'll meet me at 2 p.m. at
the garage, ten minutes before the
Hanmcr service -car leaves? We might
have your car in running order, in
which case I'i drive you back to Hanr
mer."
"Thanks, very much," said Lorna,
sweetly. "I'll see you there."
It occurred to her, as she went and
lay down on a red plush couch in the
ladies' rest room, that perhaps she
would not. Perhaps he knew that the
game was up, and he would go while
the going was good. Possibly some
ship bound for Australia would have
a name on its passenger list to -mor-
row -not "Hawksford". possibly—but
Hawksford would be aboard it, look-
ing his last at the native land he had
betrayed.

She couldn't be sorry, Lorna thought
as she lay there, eyes closed, her
shaken body grateful for the rest. But
suppose he didn't go? The thought
jerked her into wakefulness again.
Perhaps he really thought he had de-
ceived her, and he would go on with
the job. She must find out where
Gulliver's Bay was.
She got up and went into the in-
ner sanctum and on the pretext of
powdering her face, asked the woman
in charge:'
"Can you tell me where Gulliver's
Bay is?"
The woman looked blank.
"I never heard of it in these parts,"
she said, "Unless it's out Sumner
way, perhaps."
"Where is Sumner?" said Lorna,
"That's away out of town towards
Lyttelton; said the woman, looking
at her as though her wore mad.
"I'm a stranger here," Lorna
explained "AndI wanted to know
where it is — I thought you might
know."
"I've not heard of it hereabouts."
The woman shook her head.
Lorna thought of the various placed
to which she might go to find out.
The Public Library—there must cert-
ainly be one. But supposing she went
out and Iawksford saw her, after she
had said she would lie down until the
service car went? She must do noth-
ing to arouse his suspicions. Then
she recollected that she had seen a
Government Tourist Bureau in the
square. They must have maps, they
would be able to tell her. She could
slip in there on her way to the gar-
age, and even if Hawksford chanced
to see her she could explain her visit
away by saying she wanted a booklet
about Kaikoura. The oppression of
her rosition was setting up a night-
mare fear of him in her.
She lay down and waited until ten
minutes to two, with every nerve on
edge. Then she went out, hurried
along the main street to Cathedral
Square, and went into the Tourist
Bureau.
"I want some information about
Kaikoura, please," she told the clerk,
breathlessly. She drummed on the
counter with nervous fingers while he
brought a small illustrated leaflet.
"Can you tell me where Gulliver's
Bay is?"
"It's somewhere up there, isn't it?"
the clerk said.
"At Kaikoura?" Her heart gave a
jump. .
"That's right. Gulliver's Bay is
somewhere in the Kaikoura district,
isn't it?" the clerk, appealed to his
fe11o✓ worker at one of the desks.
They both went with her to a map
on the wall which showed the names
of all the smaller places . . . And
there it was, some five miles from
Kaikoura, on a coast sprawled with
the centipede markings of mountain-
ous country.
"There's nothing there," the second
clerk informed her. "You can't get
a car through; it's no use for camp
in.', there isn't a road"
I`There might be a track," suggest-
ed the first clerk.
"No, there isn't a track fit for a
err. It's all rough hush. I was
through there hiking the year before
last," the second clerk assured her.
"Thank you," said Lorna, breath-
lessly.
She walked out into the street. So
it was Kaikoura; to -morrow they
would all be there—unless he had
macre a timely escape. "Heaven send
he hall" Lorna said, suddenly, to her-
self, lifting her eyes to the bright
point on the mire of the cathedral
across the Square.
To continue the thing to the end
would be so horrible. She pictured
to that! . .
"He may be gone!" she told herself.
"Perhaps he'll never be seen again,
and that will be the best thing that
could happen!"
But as, soon as she came round the
corner,- she saw him there, big and
nonchalant in his tweeds, waiting for
her outside the entrance to the gar-
age.
CHAPTER XIV
"YOUR APPALLING RUDENESS"
The battered car -was left behind to
have the mudguards straightened, and
the shattered windscreen replaced.
The two seats obtainable on the ser-
vice car were at different ends of it,
and Lorna found herself in the front,
while Hawksford was in the back. She
was glad of this relief, and sat with
her :eyes closed as the car zoomed
swiftly along the dusty road, winding
by plain and pass and river gorge
into the blue north-west. She was
beginning to stiffen up with sunday
little aches and bruises after her fall
into the flax bush.
At Hanarer at last, she climbed
wearily out, and went to the garage
to explain that she had had a mishap
with the car she had hired. The
owner seemed to take it as a matter
of course; so long as the repairs were
carried out competently, he had no-
thing to say. The insurance would
cover the cost.
"Coming from England you would-
n't be used to our rail crossings," he
said. "They're doing work now, all
over the country, ?Waking them safer
—building bridges and that. But there
are accidents a -plenty on them still,"
Without further thought, Lorna
allowed Hawksford to get the car
to drive her up to the Shanes. He
would be on duty next motoring; he
seemed to• assume that he should drive
her up. It never occurred to her
when they arrived at the white house
among the pines in the late afternoon
that it might have leeen wiser to
come back as she had gone—alone.
"Thank you!" she said; as. she got
out of the car.
He nodded, with a slight smile. That
was all. Nothing was said which
indicated how much was known to
them both, or all that had happened
while she was away.
Breathless with the knowledge of
it, she went into the house, and left
him to put the ear into the garage.
There was no room for him at the
Shanee's, and she assumed he would
walk the mile back into town and
stay at his boarding-house overnight.
Mrs. Shane greeted her with cheer-
ful effusion and evidently had no
doubts at all about her excuse for
staying so long in town. Lorna's pale
and exhausted appearance suggested
sessions with a dozen dentists.
"You poor thing, you look fright-
ful!" cried Mrs. Shane. "You must
go and fie, down immediately. Did
he take it out?"
Lorna merely shook her head and
said:
"I have had rather a trying time!"
(Which was true, and now the excite-
ment was over, she had a double dis-
taste for lying).
Miss Marris greeted her bluntly as
usual:
"Well, I'm glad you've managed. to
get hereat last!"
She did not mention the dentist at
all, which was a relief to Lorna, but
it surprised her; because for all her
sarcasms and bluntnesses, Aunt Hilda
was the kindest woman in the world.
Mt. Shane provided a refreshing
cup of tea in the rose and white draw-
ing room, but it was all diet Lorna
could do to hold her tea -cup because
of a growing stiffness in her elbow.
Miss Marrs cahnly continued her
wool tapestry, and described the
warns sulphur baths in which she and
Mrs. Shane bad bathed in tie open
air before breakfast that morning.
Later when Lorna was dressing fop
dinner, theta was a'tap on her door,
and Miss 'Marris came in.
Lorna hastily drew the sleeves of
her negligee over her arms to hide
her elbow, which was swelling up
into a strange soft blister not much
smaller than a golf ball; she must'
have struck her elbow when site was
thrown out of the car, and she knew
that she could hardly expect Miss
Morris to believe she had hurt it at
,the dentist's.
Miss Mewls began by closing the
door with a certain deliberation.
There was a patch of.red to her fore-
head which always told of the sup-
pression of strong feeling.
"Ah!" thought Lorna, "Now, what

" GRANDPARENTS' "
Grandparents are interesting people
and you can snake that statement
without exceptions. There's some-
thing in the passing of the years . ,
the experiences and the trials and the
tribulations of raising a family that
endows grandparents with a charm
all their own. But on one point they're
all alike ... they can see no harm
in anything that their grandchildren
do.
It seems like only yesterday that
day when in company withthe older
pupils' from the school on the next
Concession, I was plodding •my waq
home. There was a Sewing Circle
meeting that afternoon at. the Church
on our line, and Miss Tabitha's'grey
mare was tied up to the fenee. The
school children, as usual, dallied ar-
ound the church shed when the
older boys began tormenting me as
to my bravery.
There isn't time to waste on details
sn P11 explain what happened. While
the bigger boys held up the buggy I
switched a front wheel and a back
one ... giving the' buggy a slightly
uneven gait when in motion. Then we
all hid out in the shed ... and Miss
Tabitha ... as prim as a cucumber
and as sour as a chokecherry came
out and started off.
Bumpety-bump . . wow . . wow
leumpety-bump . . whinny . . and
then with a defiant snort the horse
was off down the road . . clatter-
ing and bumping and going like mad
, . and Miss Tabitha with her bon-
net hanging at a ridiculous angle,
hanging onto the dashboard. The joke
seemed to lose its flavor and I sneak-
ed home as quickly as two bare feet
could make it over a freshly gravel-
led road.
I didn't eat much supper that night.
When the telephone rang after supper
I streaked for the only safety I knew
. . , grandfather's place, just two
farms down the line.
Grandfather was milliing the cows,
and he failed to notice anything
wrong with me. After the usual quer,
tions about how the folks were, he
preceded with one of his lumbering
days stories,
And then father appeared with the
horse and buggy, and I managed to
get between grandfather and the, eow.
For at least ten minutes the argu-
ment raged, with .me ducking, and
grandfather worming the story out of
father,
"What would you do with a boy
like that " stormed Father, "Hees go-
ing to the bad!"
Grandfather stopped to .light his
pipe and I saw his moustache quiver-
ing as he tried to smother a smile In
a little while he started to laugh and
he said, "If somebody had. pulled that
trick on Tabitha twenty-five years
ago she wouldn't be so sorer on the
world now."
That didn't help matters any I sup-
pose but father •stopped trying to
grab for me. Then grandfather said',
"Do you remember the day you tied
the tin can to the tail of the preach-
er's dog and he rushed into church
when they were having that Mission-
ary meeting. Well, sir, I was going
to thrash the daylights out of you
that time, only your grandfather re-
minded me that I was kicked out of
school one time for putting a rat in
the drawer off the teacher's desk."
Father gave me quite a talking to,
but on the way home started laugh-
ing and I just sat and thanked Prov-
idence that grandfathers always
seemed to be able to quieten fathers
down.
The parents may be very particular
with their children ....but it seems
that with the passing of the years
they lavish affection on the grand-
children,
randchildren, becaue "a grandchild can do
Ito wrong."
FIRST GROUP GRADUATES
FROM SKY HARBOR AND
LEAVES FOR A WESTERN
CANADA AIRFIELD
After seven weeks' training at Sky
Harbor the first group of student -
pilots finished the elementary course
on Tuesday and that afternoon en-
trained for a Western Canada Service
Flying School to continue advanced
instruction,
There was no ceremonial to mark
the take -off, because of the exigen-
cies of time and weather. As is well
known to everyone, good flying
weather hereabouts has been a very
scarce commodity during the past
month, and sd when opportunity did
present itself every available minute
was utilized, Onthe last day, with
the landing field in a slushy condition,
some students continued flying
through the dinner hour and up to
within a short time of their train's
departure, in order to complete the
course.
Manager 3. R. Douglas and R.C.
A.F. Supervisors Steeves and Jordan
were justly proud of this first class
of pilots to "graduate" from Huron
County's airport, and predict they will
be heard from in the future. The
executive and officers deserve much
credit for the driving force put behind
their effort under trying conditions
and, what is more important, without
a serious mishap.
'A new junior class has already ar-
rived at the school and the juniors of
the past few weeks have been stepped
up to senior ranks.
The runways have been rolled night
and day during the heavy snowfall
and what with a thaw and a freez-up
are now in splendid condition. In
point of flying hours put on the re-
cords last Wednesday was one of the
biggest clays the school has yet had,
At Port Albert the paved runways
are bare and a great deal of flying
also was accomplished there.

Came to Canada in 1928.
Tire three last-named were born in
Czeeho-Slovakia. All were closely
questioned by the Judge, particularly
as to why they had waited until war
broke out to apply for naturalization,
Three said they had just kept putting
it off, but one explained that he had
been waiting for his wife to come to
Canada to see how she liked the
country. Judge Costello did not im-
mediately recommend naturalization.
He said he would take such action un-
der consideration.
