girl but in a measure it was the force
of the spoiled darling. Against the
yearnings of her own 'heart, she felt,
Sunny would not be strong. There
was not in her the power to bring up
reason as an ally, if Natalie read the.
girl aright.
And with this decision she found a
new fear within herself. For it she
could see these things, as she thought
she could, aright not the same be ap
parent to Mont Wallace?
no aright not be clever at reading
character, but some man instinct in
him must. surely tell him that the
blond charmer was 'a possible willing
victim, That instinct had slyly warn-
ed him in her own case, but he had
not let it pule him. Surely he would
not hold back in dealing with the
younger girl.
There was, she thought, only the
single hope that Sunny's ego would
stand proof against' • her love. If
she were sufficiently spoiled and self-
centred, she might stand out against
the ardent Mont. But that would
mean she did not love him deeply,
and this, on account of her own adora-
tion for him, seemed utterly impos-
sible.
This was as far as reason would
let her go. Suddenly her Iove surged
up within her sa strongly that jeal-
ousy would not be held back. After
all, the other girl was not perfection.
Her hair had been so bleached by
the sun that there were shadows in
it of darker texture. The wave in it
was sufficient for beauty but it was
the et_ual of her own. Sunny took
advantage of the lack by drawing the
ash -blond hair rather severely back.
It was becoming, but no more so
than the dark waves of Natalie's soft
black.
There was a touch of Sunny's ar-
tificial in the darkness of Sunny's
eyebrows, she thought, and there was
at least the chance that her beauty
would fade early.
One by one she went over Sunny's
features in search of flaws but when
she realized that this was the foolish
exercise of jealousy . she cried out
within herself.
"This is silly. Sunny Marion is

That was the first of many nights
they made a foursome for dancing,
dinner or some other outing. They
paired off variously but 'circunistan-
ces finally left Natalie for the most
part with Jimmy and Sunny twosing
'with Mont Wallace.
Natalie had beaten down her jeal-
ousy sa that she was now well sats-
fied with 'the arrangement most of
the time, for her live intelligence told
her that Monty could not easily for-
get her even in the flattering com-
pany of Sunny jlIariun,
Jimmy treated hes generally, ole
these evenings as he did during the
day when they were much together
at their work. ` It was not till one
-evening when dinner was delayed and
there were too many rounds of cock-
tails that a new element entered the
situation.
• They had driven to a famous .moun-
tainresort for the occasion. and Jim-
my, as was often the ease, had taken
one or two stiff drinks before set-
ting out. 'Monty had been delayed
by a business conference where high-
balls tended • to speed negotiations
and, for the first time, Natalie saw
that he was not quite himself.
It was a mad drive along the
mountain roads, with Monty at the
wheel of Sunny's ear. But they 'ar-
rived safely and • both girls, slightly
shaken by the perils of the trip,
were persuaded to. steady, their nerves
with cocktails.
They had missed their reservations
and were forced to wait until a table
was cleared so that the huge shaker
was filled and emptied more than
once before they took their places.
Jimmy held his drink easily, be-
coming ever more talkative than usu-
al but steady of hand and clear of
eye. Mont Wallace, on the other
hand, grew moody and intense. Chief-
ly the drink bad served merely to
lighten the full hurt in - Natalie's
heart so that she felt relaxed and con-
tent, but Sunny was very gay and
noisy.
With dinner and the bearers follow-
, ing, Jimmy grew sentimental and.

This much at least, was honest, she
thought. Moreover it }vas intelligent
to recognize the strength of the en-
emy.
It was to be a battle between these
two at best. Perhaps there were
many others to take part in the en-
gagement, But foes, she and Sunny
must be. Which was very 'queer, for
she suddenly found in the deeper re-
cesses of ber heart an honest liking
for the girl.
•
And now suddenly the first test
came between them, for Mont was
speaking:.
"Let's all go to the lighthouse
glace and dance. Can't we find ,'a
fourth?"
Very quickly the quick-witted Sun-
ny turned to Natalie.
"You must know someone. I'm fed
•
up on the people I've been going a-
round with. PIease find another
handsome boy." 1
But Natalie was not to be caught
entirely napping. f
"I know someone you'll adore. He's
grand company and I've just discov-
ered him. You know him, Mont, See
if you can get Jimmy Hale."
It was the first time she had used
Wallace's first name but surely kis-
ses carried title to its familiar use. l
Sunny accepted the suggestion.
"You 'mean your photographer? Of
course. I think he's adorable."
Natalie was a little uncertain how
she had come off in the brief ex-
change.
"Be careful of your secrets when,
he is about," she, said laughingly.
"He's a seventh sort or something. He
can guess more than most people ev

l At each sally the girl screamed with
laughter apparently delighted at his
abuse.
"Leave me alone, pest," he told her.
finally. "Come' on, Nat. Let's dance,"
He caught Natalie by the hand and
drew liar : onto the dance floor. The
girl realized at once that there was
something imminent between them.
He held her a little' more tightly than
usual and with the exertion of the
dancing she presently, found herself
trembling so that she could baldly
follow the music,
"I'm sorry," she whispered when
she missed a change in his. step.
"Never mind_," he told her bruscjue-
ly. "What do we care how we dance?
I'm still mad about you. I wish you
could really care . about me,"
Tears came into the girl's eyes and
she knew then that her weakness was
from some cause other than her own
spirit. She fought to get herself in
hand. But her lips betrayed her.
"No one," she said with a little
catch in her, voice. "No one will ever
love more than. I do. Some day-
some day I think you will forget your
madness and bring me love instead."
"What do you want?" `he, flared.
"The love of some house-broken ape
or the love of a man? Man's love

Paralysed But Finds Lots to do For
Others
A Cornwell Scout Certificate ha
been awarded 15 year old Scout Gor-
don Taylor of Kingsbridge, Devon, for
notable •service to others, notwith-
standing a paralysis that for ten
years has left him only the use of
his hands. He mastered shorthand
and typewriting, and assists school i
teachers in various ways, acts as re-
feree

meetings. He is said never to have
complained because of his handcap.
Pigs, Goats, Birds and Boy Scouts 1
Simultaneously appearing newspa-'
per stories of Boy Scouts and a Tuna-,
way pig, a lost goat and wounded
birds would seem to bear witness that
cheek, she gave him the kisses he
asked.
He clasped her more tightly in his
arms and rained answering caresses
upon her lips.
They were the first of Isis kisses
that she had allowed since that first
evening with him, and suddenly she
was afraid. But it was not fear of
the man ar his love. It was fear of
her own heart, foe something had
gone wrong within her. Some gov-
ernor upon her heart had failed.
"I'm sorry," she said quickly. "But
C don't care for the caveman stuff."
He was angry then and caught her
roughly trying to kiss her again. But
she laughed at him acid fended Trim
easily.
"1 ought to drag you out of here,"
he declared furiously. "I ought to
take you the way men used to take
their women. Why should I play the
game of the time apes? You would
love me in a minute if I took you and
made you like it."
"Don't be silly," she taunted. "Ali
that stuff went out with the stone
age. Even in those' days there was
only a handful of men who could
take a mate against her will. Some-
times they used a stone axe but if
the woman, didn't care for that she us-
ed.the stone axe first or very short-
ly afterward."
"Bah. A. man's love. is dynamic."
She stood from his arms quickly.
"A man's love," she said coolly, "is
what a woman chooses it to be. If
she wants to be kicked around, she
picks the man who can do it. But
you may be assured that even those
who choose to be kicked have a rea-
son for their madness."
"What reason?"
"They have a streak of that in
themselves to be beaten by a man's
strength and they are willing to buy
the luxury with bruises for coin.''
"All right. Have it your way.
What kind of love would you choose?"
"That, "she said, "is better. After
all, it is the woman who chooses.
Hold me nicely, and don't try to bite
me and I will show you *hat kisses
really can mean."
She waited then and very gently
Mont Wallace's arms went about her
and she turned her lips to his with
a smile that seemed to :brighten the
starry night. Her fingers crept up'
to caress his cheek.
And at that instant a terrifying
flash of a white dress across the bal-
cony. A' ghostly figure rose against
the stars from the top of the parapet
and then Mont Wallace leaped.
Sunny was hysterical with fear
when they dragged her back from
that., wall. Monty had reached her
just in. time.
Apparently she had gone farther
than she intended.. She had meant to
give thein 'a scare and. then had foend
herself swaying unsteadily over the
lip of the abyss.
Her screams echoed across the can-
yon as Monty caught her and drew
her back to the balcony floor: Natalie
clung to her and tried to cadet her.
"Get away from. me." Sunny shriek-
ed. "Leave me alone, I never want
to See 'either of you again."
She went off into another paroxysm
of screams that brought a rush of
footsteps from the ballroom.
"Quick," hissed Natalie. "Hit her
Slap her hard. That will bring her
out of it."
•(CONTINUED NEXT WEEK),
the boys are living up to'the 6th Scout
Law, "A Scout is a friend to Ani-
mals.' ' When a young porker wrig-
gled out`of a bag behind an Aylmer,
Ont., 'butcher shop, he was pursued
down side streets and over and un-
der garden fences until captured by
a Scout -master and Scout, and when
an apparently homeless goat wander-
ed the streets of Moose 'Jaw, Sask.,
It was a pail" of Scouts who befriend-
ed him and took him to the nolice sta-
tion' shelter. A Scoutmaster of the
same Saskatchewan city, with the
help of his boys, has for some time
been operating a hospital for birds
injured by flying into wire fences, and
numbers wounded by hunters. Two
Franklin gulls with permanently
crippled wings have become very
clever pets.
Heroic :Chinese boy, Scouts
Details of the heroic work done by
Chinese Boy Scouts at Shanghai and
elsewhere in China have been hinted
at in press despatches and news. In-
ternational Scout Bureau at London
reports more fully as follows:
Despite the grave danger of bomb-
ing in and around Shanghai, Chinese
Bay Scouts carried out their Seout
obligation to "help other people at
all times." Their services in the hos-
pitals and other places can be looked
upon as nothing less than heroic, and
under the inevitable danger they still
persist in carrying on.
Inunediateiy` after high ex -plosives
had been dropped on Shanghai, young.
Scouts began searching for the dead,
dressing the slightly injured with
bandages improvised from blood -spat-
tered piles of material, and acting as
stretcherbearers,
One .of these young boys perform-
ed a task from which many a grown
man would have shrunk. A lifte in a
building had been halted between the
ground and first floors as the explos-
1
ion cut off power. Blood streamed
from the cage, the door of which
had been partly opened by some in-
jured person before death had .in-
tervened. A ladder was run up to
the cage, but the opening was too
small for an adult. A Scout went
up, hesitated before what he saw,
then threw dawn a pith helmet filled
with blood and performed the grue-
some task of removing the dead.
An early morning bombing raid,
raining death on Per-hsin-ching Vil-
lage for twenty minutes, was anoth-
er scene described in which Boy
Scouts; police and other charity
workers rushed to rescue the wound-
ed. The destruction covered a wide
area and un to a late hour scores of
volunteers were still busily engaged
in extricating bodies pinned beneath
the debris.
Simultaneously, bombing was go-
ing on in Chowkachiao in the Jess -
field district, and many civilians
were killed. Shortly after the raid

and Boy Scout, together with those

Guides are also helping in refugee

Officials of the French Concession
Service Sanitaire found Scouts ex-
tremely useful, while still other

Dutch Scouts Give Their Chief A Car
and Chauffeur
A motor car, "complete with chauf-1
feur," and funds for upkeep, were,
the gifts of the Boy Scouts of Hol-
land to Admiral Rambonnet, upon his
recent retirement as •Chief Scout for
Holland. The retired admiral had
headed the Dutch Scouts since 1920,
H.R.H. Prince Bernhard of the
Netherlands has accepted the posb
of Royal Commissioner for the
Scouts of Holland, as successor to
Admiral Rambonnet.
As in the case of many other com-
modities, world trade in bacon and
hams bears no relatiopship to the
production of the different countries.
Denmark, though low on the list in
point of the numbers of hogs kept, is
easily first as an exporter of bacon
and hams. The industry in that coun-
try is on an export basis to a degree
not approached elsewhere. In 1930,
for example, according to the Imper-
ial 'Economic Committee, there were
in Canada about 38 pigs per 100 in-
habitants; in the United States about
33; in the United Kingdom only- 10,
but in Demnark as many as 100 per
100 inhabitants.
What is a Bargain?
In this community are hundreds of individuals and families
on the watch for an advertisement which will offer them what they
want at an advantageous price
Call them bargain -bunters if your will, but thrifty shoppers
would be the better designation. Thrift is a commendable trait and
merchants should cater to it.
'One family wants a new carpet—the need is not urgent.. An-
other family is looking forward to buying dining -room furniture
it may not be for a twelve month.
One roan is thinking of buying himself a watch. One woman
a shopping bag; another an umbrella.
All can be made to buy earlier—by advertising. Advertising
can make the desire so keen that the bargain is forgotten in the
fever for immediate possession.
A NOTE TO MERCHANTS
Stimulate business by the offer of some slow-moving lines of
special prices. Brighten up business by advertising some desirable
goods at reduced prices. Make advertising banish dull businesS.
Often you can tempt the buyer whirls biding his or her time, to buy
from, you—at a time of your naming.
