"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 hotel we were in last night as they evidence, Hawksford in the dock on may have their suspicions about you!" trial for espionage. How the thing "I'll lie down in the rest room of would stir up this sleepy, matter -of - this store,", said Lorna. "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 Phil Osifer of Lazy Meadows By Harry J. Boyle " 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. THEY FOLLOWED A. STAR (From The Blue' Bell) The following editorial by Mr. Bar- rett of the Information Department, American Telephone and Telegraph Company, was written when he was on the editorial staff of the New York Evening Mail and appeared in that paper on December 24th, 1920. "In the most material of ages they were the most impractical of idealists. The world was under the domination of a single empire that ruled by brute force, that worshipped mastery as' its god, The pursuit of pleasure had de- generated into a forms of licentious- mess that has never been surpassed. Such philosophers as had not given themselves over to lust preached a doctrine of attaining life's highest end through ,the strength of the good right arm, just as their successors to- day counsel the power of the dollar tact little: country, if it should emus is coming?"

For the soldiers of Rome and the pampered epicures of decadent Greece had nothing but contempt for dream- ers of dreams. , "It was in such an age as this that three men set out upon the strangest journey in all history. It was in the face of such material philosophies as these that, visionaries that they were, they began their quest of an ideal. "Across deserts they rode in spite of scorching heat and thirst. Perils there were in their path, for bandits infested it as their offspring do.to- day, and these travelers carried price- less treasures, Through cities and villages they passed, through crowd- ed bazaars and market places, where the curious asked them the purpose of their strange pilgrimage. And al- ways to these queries they had the same answer: 'We have seen His star in the east and are come to 'worship Iiim.' "Dreamers? Idealists? "There doubtless was not a lounger in the most obscure of hamlets though which they passed who did not shrug his shoulders and tap his forehead significantly as these pil- grims rode by on their camels, their eyes fixed unswervingly upon the star that was their only guide. There was not a philosopher who heard of their strange quest without branding them as the veriest of fools.

She had changed fon dinner and looked very gaunt and somewhat incongruous in slate grey lace. "Yes, aunt," said Lorna.

The Championship cup was presented to Mr. Duff Brown, captain of the team by Mr. Arnold McConnell, of Goder- ich, treasurer ,of the Huron -Perth Baseball League. A very pleasant feature of the evening was the pre- sentation of an engraved lighter to the manager of the team, Mr. Stanley Tudor. The presentation was made by Mr. Walter Spencer. Mrs. Tudor was presented with a beautiful bouquet of flowers by Mr. E. L. Miekle. The evening concluded by the singing of "Auld Lang Syne" BANQUET AT IIENSALL FOR O.B.A. CHAMPIONS The officials and players of Hen- sall Baseball Club, who }von the Intermediate "B" Championship of the O.B,A, were pleasantly entertain- ed to venison dinner by the manager of the team, Mr. Stanley Tudor at the Commercial Hotel, Hensall, on Monday evening, Dr. D, G.

Mr. FOUR APPLY FOR NATURALIZATION Three Czccho-Slovakians and One Italian Appear Before Judge Costello Three Czeoho-Slovakians and ane Italian appeared before Judge Cos. tello in County Court on Monday morning, applying for naturalization. They are: Eugene Prigione, 39, Italian glove cutter, Wingham. Born in Torino Province, Italy. Came to Canada in 1928. Paue1 Pankeje, 40, laborer. Game to Canada in 1928. Joseph Pecko, 41, laborer. Came to Canada in 1923. John Tomov Narcin, 39, laborer. 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.
