THE TON NEWS -RECORD SYNOPSIS i'today, but—give Angie my love, To get fifteen thousand dollars to please." she faltered• ' save the family honor, Nancy Gor- don,:promises to marry the well-to- do Dr, Richard Morgan. Her be- loved brother, Roddy, has come name from New York to confess that he has taken that amount from the bank; where he works because a woman needed it -and that he will be ?ailed if he is found out before he returns it. So Nancy, in love with the pen- niless Page Roemer, decides to bor- row the money from Morgan, and pledges herself to marry him in re tuna He agrees to the bargain, feeling sure he can make her 'love him. While they are talking at his house, Roemer comes . to see hiin. "Oh, Richard, don't let him come in here," begs Nancy when she hears his name. And as Richard looks at her the pitiful little secret of her love for Page is revealed to him. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY 044213100, Day dawned at last and the sun rose gloriously --sunshine mocks at lminan misery. It was shining in the kitchen win- dows where Amanda, with her sleev- es rolled up, was cutting potatoes. As she pared she sang; "Take me up an' set me down Spang in Heaven -town! Take me up— "Fo' de Laved, Miss Nancy, yo' done startled mel" Nancy had appea'l'ed unexpectedly upon , the threshold. It was early but she was fully dressed for the street and wore a big hat that shad- ed her eyes, "Bandy. I'm going out—I, want something. Can I have a cup of coffee now?" "I reckon Miss Nancy; I done made it a'roady." Nancy sat down in a kitchen chair and took the big cup from Mandy's hands. The coffee was hot and gold- en brown; Nancy sipped it slowly, watching the deft brown hands at work. "Take me up an' set me down Spang in Heaven-to,vn," sang Amanda, pausing now and then as she flipped the slender slices of potatoes in the boiling fat. "Take me up an' set me down `Where deny angels shines my crown!" crown!" Oh, dere ain't no moths up dere, Oh, dere ain't no rust to spare, Where dem angels shines my crown!" Nancy choked down a little more "I felt a beastly coward, not to come to tell your father and mother." hot coffee. Amanda, looking; up caught her in the act of setting the cup aside. "i•Teah, yo' ain't a-goin', is yo'l Ya' didn't dying half 'dat coffee. Deed, Miss Nancy, you'll get mal- aria, yo' she' will!" But Nancy was already gone. In the path outside the door she turn- ed and flung Nancy a smile over her shoulder.` It was a pale young smile that seemed near tears. It was very early .in the morning and the street seemed to be flooded with light. There was old Major Lomax standing in his garden. Nan. cy'sheart sank, she hatedto meet any one Met she had to go that way. "Hello, Nancy, " goin' on a jour- ney " He was looking at her sat• chef.. "'lust for a little while," she 'an- swered hurriedl'y,' "how's Angie?" "Still living 'here. Better come in and see her," he advised, his eyes twinkling. Nancy :hurried. "I can't come in The major ehuckled. "Think I'm a carrier pigeon, eb? Angie and I saw Roddy hurry by last week what's wrong? He never looked at us, Nancy, went by like a shot." Nancy felt a thrill of fear run through her. Did the old man knave? She must not betray Roddy, she had saved hiin so far, she must not fail now. She swallowed the lump in her throat "He' had to catch a train, that was all," she explained gently, "I'm sure he didn't see you." .Nancy hurried now, She had told Richard not to conte for her, to wait at the station. She thought it wouk' be easier to go there alone, but it was not; it was harder every minute. Then suddenly she saw him waiting for her quietly, standing at his own gate. He seemed to loom up there, not the figure that her fevered dreams had conjured—las a child dreams of the bogie-.men—but Richard, tall and . strong. The same face, too, not handsome, like Page Roemer's, but with something in it that frightened her. Yet his eyes were warm ass Plowing not and—yes, they were kind! "1 couldnt let you walk all the way there alone, Nancy," he said huskily. clasping her hand a moment and let- ting it go again, "I've felt a beastly coward, not to come to tell your fath- er and mother, and take you off to a church like a man!" "You did what I asked, Richard," she got her voice—at first she thought she couIdn't—and they walk- ed on together. Once she raised her eyes and gave Richard a sidelong look, and she was stricken by It.. A- gain she sew how he Ioved her and it terified her. It was like meeting something nighty and irresistabie. She was wicked. It was a wicked and sordid thing to do to a man who loved her. "There's Mrs. Haddon," said Rich- ard's voice and it sounded strange. Nancy looked up at the motor and saw Helena's face at the window, her green eyes looking at them. She leaned forward, startled, bowing to them, and Nancy's cheeks grew rosy, Helena's eyes looked as if they knew, or thought they knew—some. thing! Nancy, trying to hide her own trembling, saw her looking back, her oyes on Richard, and Richard red under his tan. "Haddon's going on the train with us," lie said quietly, they were in sight of the station now. "He told me so last night. A pleasure trip it won't bother us, Nancy." She thought it would; she did not like Helena, and Kindon Haddon was Helena's husband, and the president of the bank where Mr. Gordon had worked as a trusted clerk for twee• ty years, Helena would wonder why Nancy was going to Washington witt- Richard. Would they have to tell him? Her heart sank—it would make it so real before—before is happened. Unconsciously she falter- ed; altered; her very lips grew pale. (Richard saw it. Up to this moment he had been carried along by a rush of feel- ing for her, but now—in a moment— the thing fell to pieces. They were almost at the station when he stop- ped short, "Nancy," his voice was harsh and broken, "I --'I wish I knew--yor make a fellow feel like a brute! I can't go on with this—if I'm forcing you to marry me against your heart!" She stood still at his side, her pro- file toward him. .She did not lift her eyes. "I---" she struggled with herself; and then steadily; "I pledged myself. td marry you --if you want to . re- fuse -o" "Nancy Virginia;" he caught her hand and held it fiercely. He fair- ly hurt it but she did not wince. They stood a moment thus and then walked on; the .force that was driving him now was too strong even, for him, et he made no effort to resist it. At the station, Richard held the door open and Nancy stepped - in- side. ,She stood still inside the 'station door. She was conscious .that Rich- ard had left her for a moment and, looking across the station, she saw him talking to a tall thin man who stooped a little. Haddon, of mimeo!. They knew each other well, Rich- ard was the banker's physician. Was he telling hire about her? Nancy's heart beat hard. i No, Richard had not told Haddon; the banker never lookedher way at all. Suddenly she felt as if she wish- ed he had. Why hadn't Richard -- "I thought` you wouldn't want to THUES., MARCH 1, 1934 talk to Haddon all the way, so I didn't tell him you, were here," Rich- ard said, coming up and ,taking her bag. "The train's going in two minutes, Nancy, 'we'll have to get aboard." bnas The church was almost empty but there were some roses in the white marble front, a little way from the group of witnesses, strangers, two women and -a man—the church sex- ton. "In the face of this company to join together this elan and this woman --r Nancy's mind :staggered back from it. She lifted her white face and looked full into the minister's eyes. She was shaken by their look, their odd, questioning look. A pang of fear shot through her. Nancy stood beside Richard, but she no longer lifted her eyes. She did not want to meet that look again, "Not unadvisedly or lightly; but reverently, discretly, advisedly, so- berly, in the fear of God.' How solemnly he spoke. He seem- ed to be seeking her out and search- ing her, not Richard. He must be doing it On purpose! "'Nancy Virginia, wilt thou have this man to be thy wedded hus- band?'" 'He paused; his strange voice seem- ed to grate and pierce her, to try to drag the truth out of her. He was doing it en purpose! "'I Nancy Virginia, take ' thee, Richard, to be—'" Her ears were . ringing now and her lips were dry. She had said it, she had repeated it after him, chok ingly,- meaninglessly, like a parrot She would see him all her life with going to talco you home;" his voice shook, "my home is yours now, Nancy." that book in his hands and his spec- tacles slipping down on his .nose, But she had heard her own voice re- peating it, and now it was Richard's turn. "With this ring 1 thee wed, and with all my worldly goods I thee en- I'iis worldly goods? She :turned hot and cold. She hardly knew what she was doing when the minister shook hands with her. Then he spoke to Richard kindly and frankly; she felt the change in his tone. He seem- ed to know that Richard was sin- cere. She was shaking hands now with the witnesses; then they walked clown the long aisle they two alone —past the vacant pews under the low gallery. Richard opened the swinging -doors and the cold spring air met them like a friend. Across the city square the blue shadows of the dusk had gathered, Terror and homesickness clutched at Nancy's heart; she looked up and met Richard's eyes, they frightened her; lie saw through her, she knew he did! "Richard, I must go home," she panted. "I'm going to take you home," his voice shoo], "my home is yours now, Nancy." "Oh, I don't mean that. I meant I'll have to tell father and mother now!" "Then—" he paused an instant, not looking at her, you want to go home .tomorrow?" "Tomorrow?" her tone was tinged with agonized dismay: He meant to stay here then—nor to go farther away still! "You want to go now'?" he asked quietly, "at once?" "Ohl" she drew a long breath, "If I. could -l" He was silent. They had reached the corner of the street and he stop- ped abruptly, apparently lost in thought, "You mean—you'd like to go home alone?:that.--•" he choked: For .a long moment the man -strug- gled with the mounting passion and fury in his soul. Then ho turned quitely, without making her even a- ware of the tremendous effort he had made to control himself,' !"Come with me now," he said cold- ly. "I've taken rooms at the hotel. here, close by. You need rest --I can: see that—and I must talk to you." Something in his tone stung her; suddenly she remembered. She had; begged his help and pledged herself. It was her ;doing, not his, and she DOINGS IN THE SCOUT WORLD Camping in Poland Poland is one of the world's sum- mer camping countries.

Even now, mar ried to him, she was longing to es- cape, to break her word. Had he found it out? She had a strange feeling of being in a dream and walking through an empty street with a stranger—Jtoward a fate yet more strange. Itis silence, too, be- gan to weigh upon her. She thought suddenly' that it was their wedding day—and he loved her! A feeling of remise: shot through her, a feeling of shame. Theyhad reached the hotel now and a small suite overlooking the sante park that had faced the church where they had been married. The curtains had not been drawn and, moving mechanically to the nearest window, Nancy stood look- ing out upon the .city street with blank unseeing eyes. All her senses seemed alive to but one thing Rich- ard's presence and the sharper con- sciousness that they were alone to- gether in a strange place. To him it was a moment of intol- erable. complexity. He saw the girl he loved, his wife at last, young, lovely, appealing in her distress. Yet this, which should have been a mo- ment of exultation and joy, was one of bitterness. How perfect she was, and she was his. The thought surg- ed through him and kindled him like a flame. Ile forgot the way of get- ting et;ting her for an instant,! because she was actually his. (Continued Next Week) Hungarian Boy Scouts Association has 'developed pians for bringing groups of Scouts back to Hungary this year, for a holiday of "Hiking in Hungary." Arranged itineratties will include several days in -Hungarian Scout ,camps. Hikers will be made into parties of not more than 15, from as many different countries as possible, with two Hungarian Rovers as "cousins," or interpreters. A Sarcee Christmas That the colourful life and raiment of the Plains Indians has notentirely disappeared is recalled by accounts of a Christmas feast of the Sercees 'given by Chief Joe Big Plume on the reservation near Calgary. From ev- ery part of the Reserve braves, squaws and children came, ponyback or in sleighs, for the feast prepared at the Chief's home. The guests included the tribe's •medicine man, Two Guns, David • One .Spot, Pat Grasshopper, Tom Heavenfires and Tom Many Horses.Ceremonial greetings from the "Great White Father" were brought by the Indian' Agent. For the children the big e- vent was the presentation of Scout - Guide Christmas Toy Shop giftsby a party of Calgary Scout leaders. Perfect Crime Impossible Criminologists long have sought for the perfect crime and much study has been devoted to an analysis of the methods and manner laf operating used by law violators, in order to de- termine if a crime can be committed without leaving some trace, clue or evidence., No such crime has been discovered during the course of police history, and it is reasonable to •assume that no such offence had occurred or it would have been duplicated- is mod. ern time. A study of crime over many cen- turies as shown in available records and from the judical opinions that have, been handed down to us, indi- cates, according to some crime ex- perts, that crime of to -day is no dif- ferent than it was years ago. True, the methods have improved through the instrumentalities of modern invention, but the basic mo- tives remain the same. At the same time methods of de- tection and apprehension have im- proved to a like extent. , To -day modern science has provide ed means of detection which render it more difficult for a crime to be committed and remain undiscovered. Naturalists have taught that no man or animal can walk across a field on any place without in some manner leaving a trace, no matter how insignificant, definitely showing that such man or animal did cross such place. Footprints, a broken twig, disturb- ed grass, a stone or pebble inadvert, ently touched by the foot and re- moved, some record will be left to es- tablish the presence of the foreign creature. Thus it can be seen that a man who commits a crime, who does something that the majority of peo- ple vigorously condemn, will have to use considerable cunning to avoid leaving some trace of his activity. In a New England town a burglary was committed. Valuable silverware and other articles were taken from a dwelling house. There seemed to have been a lot of care taken by the burglar .'because the detectives ex- perienced difficulty in finding a clue to his identity. It was even hard to learn how the entry had been effect- ed because no door or window had been broken. But painstaking examination show- ed that the kitchen door had been op- ened with a pass key and relocked af- ter the crime. The investigators then minutely examined the route they believed the robber had taken from the door to the dining room and back. They found half an apple out of which someone had taken a bite, There distinctly in the apple was the marlc made by the teeth, Dentists could take the impression of the teeth and positively identify the per- son who had partly eaten that apple. A man suspected by the police as the possible burglar had furnished an alibi, but the police arrested him again and had an impression made of his teeth. This was compared with the im- pression in the apple by dental ex- perts and found to be the seine. Bei cause of this burglar's mistake in leaving the apple at the scene of the crime he was convicted for the of- fence. CANADIAN NATIONAL RAILWAYS EARNINGS The gross revenues of the all-inciu, sive Canadian National Railways System for the week ending Feb- ruary 21st, 1934, were $2,878,099 as compared with $2,335,347 for the cor- responding period of 1933, an ins crease of $539,752. The Carpet-hgger vs. The Local Prhter Many business teen, when considering the cost of any particular job of printing, look only at the small sum they may be able to save at the time on any order. They fail to ask themselves what the carpet -bagger Leaves with thein throughout the year in the way of business as compared with the local publisher and members of his staff. He also seems to forget that if he and his fellow business men would get inose of their printing requirements done in their home town the publisher might' be able to employ additional help, which would still farther swell the amount of money to be spent in the home town. Always remember! A dollar spent with a firm in a distant town is gone forever so far as its service to the community is con- cerned. 'A dollar spent with other Heins in the home town stays there and performs many good services, in its own community.
