three months. And new, here she

The normal man, mindful of what
was correct, would have returned
the watches to the counter, offeree
some brief explanation of his sudden
loss of interest in them, and gone in
immediate pursuit of Olive. Bill's
conduct fell short, of that standard.
He had lost Olive once, and he
didn't intend to do so again.

the three watches in his pocket,

doubtedly sounded thin. Had he been
in Mr. Clement's place, he would
have been very sceptical about it.
On the whole, it would be better
to buy the new watch he wanted at
some other .shop. Or, perhaps, his
old watch might be repaired, after
all. It had been a good watch once,

When you have been engaged to
a girl, broken off that engagement
by mutual consent as the autcome of
a particularly senseless quarrel, and
bitterly regretted it It fortnight lat-

seek out that girl and try to put
things straight.
When you discover that she has
left her jab and changed her lodg-
ings, and nobody can give you any
information about her at all, your
desire to see the girl becomes still
more ardent. You may even, like
Bill, change your own lodgings, and

all your spare time can be devoted

trospect, however, his conduct ap-
peared more and more open to mis-
construction. Bill thought it much
better that Mr. Clement should not
see him, again.
After three days he began to feel
more comfortable. Plainly, he hadn't
been traced. He could once more -de-
vote his time to searching for Olive.
He was, indeed, actually whistling
as he returned one evening from the
office.
"Somebody to see you, sir," ' Mrs.
Swings, his landlady, greeted him.
"Who is it?"
"Somebody from Clements, the
jeweller's, sir."
Bill stopped whistling, and leapt
backwards out of the door in a man-
ner that would have done credit to
a particularly agile chamois,
"Tell- tell 'em I'm out!' instruct-
ed Bill. "Say you don't know when
I'll be back. Say I—I sent youa
postcard from New York.
"But you didn't, sir," pointed out
Mrs. Ewings, who was something of
a mallet.
Bill did not stay to argue the
point. The 'time was not propitious.
He went, and did not return until it
might reasonably be supposed that
all jewelelrs would be abed.
Unfortunately for Sill's peace of
mind, •Mr. Clement's emissary, some-
thing of an optimist, played a re-
turn date the next night. Again Bill
slid not linger. But Mr. Clement's
ambassador showed praiseworthy
persistence, and for a week Bill led
the sort of life usually associated
with the hunted hare.
His- home was no longer a home,
but a place wherein vengeful jeweI-
lers lurked. For six nights Bill, re-
turning from work, got no farther
than the front door. The sole ad-
vantage of this arrangement was
that he was enabled to devote the
whole of his evenings to a fruitless
securing of London in quest of Olive
Bridge.
At length the thing began to get
Bill down.
"Oh, darn it!" he ejaculated one
evening, when Mrs. Swings respond-
ed with a nod to his silent interrog-
ation. "I suppose I'd better see the
blighter and get it over. Lead' me to
him!"
"In the sitting -room," said Mrs.
Ewings.
Bill strode in.
"Olive!" he howled. The girl stand-
ing by the window looked up with a
gasp.
In some things, despite the march
of intellect, action is still more ef-
fective'than reasoned discourse. This
was one of those things. It took Bill,
a quick walker, one second to gather
Olive in his arms. On the other
hand, it took considerably longer for
him to reelase her. Odd, perhaps,
that a quarrelof so many words
could be made up by no words; at all.
"So that's all right!" breathed
Bill, with deep satisfaction. •
"Yes, Bill dear," said Olive sub-
missively.
There was a further interlude.
"But what the dickens are you do-
ing bore?" demanded Sill.
"I've come from element's, the
jeweller's, I work there now."
"And, to think' I've been avoiding
you like poison for over a week("
groaned Bill.
"And to think I nearly gave it up
as a bad job last night!" said Olive.
"And—and if I'd known it was you,
I should never have come."
"But didn't yor know?" asked
Bill, puzzled.
• "Of' course I didn't. I'd no idea
who lived here. Bst when you sent
And when, three months later, by
sheet accident, you catch sight of
her profile as she leaves a jeweller's
shop, you feel gratified but dissat-
isfied. Hence Bill's fox -terrier -like
movements now.
In the meantime, Mr. Clement,
proprietor of the jeweller's shop, had
jumped, not unnaturally, to conclus-
ions.
"Quick! After that man!" he
shouted to an assistant. Together,
they followed the now popular fash-
ion of dashing out of the door.
The ways of a crowd are strange.
This' crowd prevented Bill finding
Olive, but it •did not prevent Mr.
Clement discerning Bill,
And Bill did not want to interview
Mr. Clement. He realised that the
moment he saw Mr, Clement. Ex-
planations are tedious things, and
Bit! rather doubted his ability to ex-
plain his sudden and watch -laden de-
parture to Mr. Clement's satisfac-
tion. His notion was a strategic re.
treat, followed by a registered pac-
ket addressed to the shop, containing
the watches and a dignified expres-
sion of regret.
Mr. Clement's idea was different.
He considered that the matter was
one which should be settled with as.
little delay as possible. His convict-
ion was strengthened by the spec-
tacle of Bill making eery good time
up a side -street. Bill .had reluctantly
dropped the discovery of Olive from
his immediate programme, and was
now concentrating upon getting a.
Way from Cllr. Clement and his
henchman.
He ran well, but Mr. Clement,
sorrowing for his watches, ran bet-.
ter. The hunt ended. 'Bill unhappily
saw that explanations would, after
all, be the order of the day.

THIS W.EEX'S NEWS FROM RADIO LAND
A beautiful love story of Athens,
set in the year 490 B.C., and having
as its hero one of the Oylpmic stars
of that day will be the Isubjeet of the
first presentation in the new Canadian
Radio Commission dramatic series to
be known as "Forgotten Footsteps."
The broadcast will be heard over
bhe Commission's national njetw!ork
from the Toronto studios on Sunday,
October 13, at 9.00 p.m. and will be
produced by Stanley Maxted.with a
dramatic cast and orchestra under
the direction of Geoffrey Wadding-
ton. Don Henshaw is the author of
the story, "The Tragie Mirror,"
which tells of the romance between
Miletus, handsome . scion of a proud
Athenian family, and Elena, a beau-
tiful Grecian "deb."
Miletus is engrossed in art, to the
chagrin of his father who was once
a great Olympic star, and because of
his cultural interests he is consider-
ed a most unworthy suitor in the eyes
that one before.
"You come back to the shop with
me!" he commanded, He and his, as-
sidtant each took hold of one of Bill's
arms, to render the invitation more
pressing.
"I am; afraid that, in my hurry, I
inadvertently came away with a few
of your watches," said Bill, belated-
ly trying the effect of cool dignity.
"If you will kindly liberate my arm
for one moment,' I will give theme to
MI. : I shall be glad to get rid of
then. They—they have been a re-
sponsibility."
An arm freed, he dived into his
pocket, and poured watches into the
jeweller's hands. Mr. Clement greet-
ed them gladly. His assistant join-
ed in the affecting reunion..
To Bill, the moment looked .good
for retreat. There was no need to
hank about.: There would only be
more tiresome talk. Very likely, too,
the Law would be called.

presenting a •human and ,likeable
story of a boy who trains himself for

the enemy.
