Nancy, loves pennrl- less young Page Roemer, and Rich- ard is loved by Helena Haddon, a sophisticated young married woman. Kingdon Haddon, Helena's husband, sees the elopers, but holds his coun- sel. After the ceremony, Nancy re- turns to her parents! home, and con- tinues to see Page, who urges her to divorce her husband. 141x'. Gordon, to release his daughter from what he considers her shameful marriage, sells his house to his friend Major Lomax, . who rents it to the original owner. Helena is jealous of Rich- ard's interest in Nancy, although she knows nothing of the marriage, and tries to male trouble. Once Page comes to Nancy's home and makes love to her. Nancy is frantic --she. loves Page butrefuses' to go back on her bargain with Richard by divorc- ing him. NOW GO ON WtTII THE STORY Richard started preceptibly at the sight of Nancy, buthecame in quiet- ly now, greeting them all easily, even cheerfully. "I'm sorry I'm late, major," he said simply, "had a bad ease — had to stay all night." ' The major, releasing Nancy's hand, turned on him crustily. "Killing yourself for some old beggar. I'll warrant!" he said sharply. Richard laughed grimly. "I'm harder to kill than that, major." "Humph, you look like an pwl!! Nancy—where's that girl," the olcl man looked about, bewildered, "She went out with Angie," Rich- ard said dryly. "Let me see your foot, major," and he laid hold of the bandages. Meanwhile, Angie found it hard to keep her friend even a moment. But Nancy had utterly forgotten that Angie might be bunt about her bro- ther. She wrenched her hand free of Angie's detaining fingers.. "I've got to go!" she cried, "Ma- ma wants .me — I promised.— I'll come again!" She was off, running down the path like a frightened deer. She swung around, ran down to the back fence, climbed over into some black. berry brambles, stumbled and twist - 'Good heavens, Nancy, don't hate toe so!" Ito cried violently, ed her ankle. She tried to take the short cut to her home but a sudden pang shot agony through her ankle, she stum- bled again, went Janie and tried to' hobble toward the river. She could sit there on the bank until he had gone home, she thought, and then she flushed with anger; she• hated her- self for being 'so childish. She wine- ed with shame as much as with the pain in her ankle. Suddenly she de- termined to walk straight across' the field and go hone. But her courage failed utterly when she saw that he was taking that. way home. If she went a step farther it would look as if she wanted to meet hint. There was just time to avoid the encounter. She turned hturiedly and tried to run down the path behind the pine. trees. But her hurt ankle suddenly - gave way, her foot turned under hen and she went down, full length, in the pine needles, not ten yards from the Morgan gate. She was struggling to her knees crimson with mortifica- tion, when "Richard reached her. "You're hunt!" he exclaianed, bend- ing down to lift her back to her feet. "It's nothing I stumbled," she said •sullenly. He was holding her firmly, sup-. you didn't want a woman who didn't "Why don't you go then " he ask- ed her harshly. She kept her blue eyes fixed on. his, fury leaping up in them like a consuming flame. "You thought I ran this way on purpose!" she said slowly, "I don't I didn't want to see you—I don't want to see ,you at all" He stood looking at her for a mo- ment, dumb with astonishment, then something—almost a revelation -- made the blood go up hotly into his /ace. But he did not move. He was watching her, his own breath coming short, 'Nancy did not look at him. She tried to walk straight past him to the path. She did achieve three straight, firm steps and then a wince of pain shook her. She wavered, stretched out, a hand involuntarily and caught. at the nearest branch; it saved her from falling, but her face turned white. He saw it; the angry lover was suddenly merged in the dootor. She was hurt and he could help her. She had done something to her foot in the fall. It would take his skill to mend it. Without a word, he picked her up in his arms and carried her up the long path to his own house. "Don't struggle so!" said Richard sharply, "if you've hurt your ankle, you'll make it worse. I'mn going to bind it for you." As be spoke he carried her into his office and put her gently down on the old leather lounge in the corner. Nancy's impulse to spring up vanished with a new pang in her axe kle, and he was taking off her shoe and feeling her foot. Then, ignoring her, ho went 'to the door and called sharply: "Mammy Polk, some hot water!" Nancy, sitting on the side of the lounge, clenched her hands on the edge of it until her knuckles' whiten- ed. Now cool he was! It made her even hotter with anger to see how cool he was. "Ain't swelled any, Mist' Richard," l'ammy Polk observed dryly, on her owes to help him. Nancy winced. "She thinks I'm playing hurt!" she thought. Richard's hands wero deft and fine on her ankle. He bound it swiftly, neatly, thoroughly. "There, mammy, that's a figure eight see?" he said good noturedly, and then, pushing aside the hot wa- ter, "that's all, you can take the bowl away now." Mammy rose slowly to her feet. "I reckon you -all forgets I'se got ter put on her stoekin' fo' her," she re- marked with dignity. But Nancy had snatched it up and pulled it on herself. "I'm going right home," she said. Mammy Polk courtesiod.. "If you- all wants too I'm eight out in de kitchen, peelin' potatoes," she said majestically. "I reckons three ain't contp'ny =ways," she added. Haney, lacing her shoe frantically, stared after her with furious eyes. "Richard, you've told hes!" she cried. He raised his eyes with a smile. "Is there any new reason to hate me, Nancy?" he asked dryly. a haven't told her." She was ashamed of her unreason., able anger. "I'm sorry," she said in a low voice. "I—I thrust myself into your life, I -was just sordid!" Ile looked at her, . passion in his eves. ' "I love you," he answered; "I want the chance to teach you to love me." She shook her head. "You don't Icnow me-I—I'm not 'a good :wo- man to have for a wife—I---" she stopped, gasping, and then, hotly; "I've let Page Roemer kiss ° me since we were married!" In spite a! himself, he started. The instinctof the caveman to seize Itis' woman and keep her, leaped into him. Suddenly he put his arms around Nancy and kissed her. He kissed her forehead, her• cheeks, her' lips, , her throat. Then she' wrenched herself free, hot and trembling. "How dare you!" she cried, "Iiow dare I?" he lattghed bitter- ly, "didn't you tell me that:, you let Page Roemer kiss you? And I'm your husband! Would you rather' have. another' man kiss you?" She was furious; her face glowed with color. "Let me go," ' she cried. "I hate you! Let me go—you said love you!" "Yes, I know it!" he said hoarse- ly. "I know it— I thought 1 could let you go, but what if I can't? What if my love is too strong for it --if---" he caught her hands now and held, them, looking down et her. Lovein his face, love triumphant and beauti ful, but dominant and selfish, too. "Suppose'I will not let you go?" She panted, trying to break away from his hold, .her eyes ablaze with anger. "You've got to let me go —you-" she wet her parched lips "you paid for me—that's how you feel, I know it—and you've taken half the, money back. You've got tolet me go!" Be flung her hands from him, ris- ing to his feet, his face dark. "You love that fellow! You want. Roemer's kisses, not mine! I—" he choked with fury -"he shan't have you!" he began to -walk up and down the room; "he shan't have 'you, do you hear me, Nancy?" He stopped short. The door of his house stood ajar and he suddenly saw a woman's figure coming down the hall. Unnanounced, Mammy PoIk` had admitted a patient. It was Hel, ens Haddon. "Nancy, stay here — I'll take her into the other room," he said below his breath, going to meet his visitor. But Nancy had struggled to her feet, "I'm going home," she gasped and steadied herself, leaning ,on the table beside her. Helena heard her. "Don't let me break in on another patient," she said, smiling, and then, coming to the door: "Why, Miss Gordon, are you ill, too." Richard flushed, "It's a twisted ankle," he said briefly, "let me take you into the library, Mrs. Haddon; Miss Gordon can't walk very well yet, the ankle's just bandaged.." "I'm so sorry—" Helena began. KINGANEWS o;.Nu:hGf Three score and ten years ago, the States. Three•score and ten days ago buying and selling of hunian beings Connie Mack sold Lefty Grove for helped cause a civil war in the United $100,000 to Boston but there was no one to cry havoc and slip the dogs of war. "You love that fel ow! You want Roenter's kisses, not mine!" But Nancy ' crit them both shoot; she straightened herself and began to walk quite steadily across the room. "I'm going right home, she said. "Sit clown," Richard ordered sharp- ly, "your foot will twist again." Nancy flung him a look that breathed defiance. Agony was shoot- ing through the hurt muscles, but she trod on the foot with en iron will. She had the side door open when Richard sprang to her aid. "I'll help you home anyway," he said. But Nancy recoiled from his touch. "Go back—to her!" she whispered, her face flushed still with anger and pain, "I can walk." Helena stood by the table, draw- ing off her gloves. Richard noticed ib as he came in, bewildered and an- gry and in doubt. That ankle must hurt horribly, if it hoot at all. Th'e doubt shook him, but he noticed how white and soft Helena's hands look- ed, and that she had discarded her rings. He did not even notice the vs-' ual plain band on the marriage fin-. ger.. "I always conte at the wrong time, Richard, I'm as inopportune as the measles!" He pushed a chair forward. "On the contrary," his voice said, "you're always welcome. I :hope you're not nervous again, Helena?" •She sank into her chair, putting up her hands with a graceful gesture to push .back the light veil she wore. "Well, I don't sleep, at all," she replied with her provoking smile. "I suppose you'd scold dreadfully if I should asic for cholral or morphine or anything -to make me sleep!". Richard`: dragged his mind back,, from ,its absent contemplation and looked at her intently. "I wouldn't give it to you," he said gravely. She smiled, .drooping her lids over eyes that softened toomuch when they met his; even a little color went up in her face and transfigured it. "She's beautiful," he thought re- luctantly.' "I've taken lots of it already," she said, laughing quietly. . "I increased' the dose. last, night." "Whorl''.. ,"Chloral."

Handcuffs Were Their Toys The Cub Pack of a Scout Group in a poor London district held a Christ- mas Toy Service, for which each boy was asked to bring a toy, for the children at a local hospital. When sorted the "toys" were found to in- clude two policemen's helmets and a pair 02 handcuffs. Scouts and the Indian Caste System That the Boy Scouts ef India -- Moslems, Moslems, Brahmins and Christians are "doing as much as any movement in the country to break down the caste system," was the declaration of a returned misisonary, Canon Gould, at Christ Church, Toronto. "When a task is assigned them, even if it is against the rules of their caste, the Scout work is put first, and the task is well done." A Unique Church Service in Gairo At a union service of Eastern and Western churches fo the Armenian Cathedral, Cairo, clergy and people of seven denominations and languages participated — Arabic, Armenian, Anglican (English and Egyptian), Presbyterian, German Lutheran, Greek Orthodox and Coptic Orthodox, The service opened with the hymn, in English, "All People That on Earth Do Dwell." Boy Scouts of various nationalities provided a guard of honour for the procession.

Wihen the Federal government hands out money to the provinces to be handed out again to municipalities there is sure to be waste and extra- vagance. In every municipality tide argument was irresistible: "If we spend one dollar of our own money we get two from the government." We wero wrong in thinking that the municipal dollar would serve as a cheek, Whatever effect it had as a deterrent was offset by the incentive of the government's two dollars, A French-Canadian in Montreal de- mands equal rights for the two great races.

"We'haven't -any,". said the enterprising salesman, "but ,we have rifles, revolvers, axes, raz- or's, ropes, knives and other things that will do just as well." Mr. Justice Hope told a jury that "there is no excuse for a man to fire at his mother-in-law." This ruling is explicit. We gather from it that ev- en the urge to kill her is no excuse for firing at her. Pity the sorrows of a big city like Montreal with a heavy deficit, an un- eontroilable annual expenditure of thirty-five million dollars and without a chance of electing a council that will deal with the dilemma in a busi- ness -like way. Montreal is not the only city in America that is up a- gainst such a situation, New York is not the only city that is controlled by a Tammany. Should we or should we not sell ma- terials of war? Some Canadians are asking that question in connection with the export of nickel.

We don't know as to that, but in company a woman can talk and hear all the better when slashes her eyes open. In advancing a claim that people were more honest in olden days than now, a writer recalls that in those days church collections were made with a bag hanging from the end of a •stick. He cannot' get away with that argument. It was in the olden days when .men were ao honest, as he claims, that the bag was discarded and the plate substituted, the reason being that thebag collected too many coppers, • buttons' and tobacco stamps., No one can be sure that the same would not happen: now and we know of no church that will make the ex- periment.: 1Gfan's vanity and sense of shame combine to make the open plate the better go-getter. Lifting oneself up by the boot- straps is the expression that bestcon- veys the idea of futility. Everyone knows it can't be done, but govern- ments as well as individuals go on trying to make the straps do duty as helicopters. A member of the Free State gov- ernment in Ireland says that if guns aro necessary to make the whole of Ireland a republic the government is prepared to use them. To which the Belfast Telegraph replies that Ulster alone could beat the invaders. When Irishmen begin talking to each other in this way, we begin to despair of universal peace. In defending nudism a Chicago judge went out of his way to censure Mae West for vulgarity. Her offence apparently is that she covers her curves with her clothes, and uses her tonsils in drawling. "IIow'm 1 dein', Judge?" In this she portrays the vulgarities of a period when only fan- atical Doukhobors went in for nudism which the Chicago judge approves. In their efforts to get Sam Insult and James Fahey, we trust the U. S. authorities will not forget that the kidnappers and murderers of the Lindbergh baby are still at large. 66 on is ,i i a togee 99 "YES! She's engaged to a nice boy.
