Witit his el- bows .on this knees and his face bet- ween his hands, he sat iniseraihiy thinking over his troubles. There was no chance of his 'living more than a flew years, as the beset doctors in Eur- ope and England had given him up, .and when he was placed below ground the chance; were that A;.nee would marry his r'val.

"I have heard every word," she said trntum!lahantily. "And I: know what you are, heather." 'Why 'did you come there?" de- mand.ed Pine sharply, and frowning. "I wanted to hear what a Romany had to 'do with a 'C-nirgio (lady. brother. And what do I 'hear.

In one -way ;he 'blamed Agnes, be- cause she had married for money; in another way he did not blame her; be- cause that same money had.:been nec- essary to support the falling fortunes of the noble family 'to w'hi:oh Lam:bcrt belonged. An'ordinary person would not have understood this, end 'would have :seen lin the imereenary mtarriage simply a greedy graepkn;g after • the l'oave's and 'fishes. But Lambert, com- ing at tdre ertd of a hong line of lordly .ancestors, 'oan•sidered that itoth she. and his !cousin owed something iia those of the least who had built 'nip the damuiy, Thus his pride told him. that Agnes bad acted rightly :in taking Pine as her' iiiu'sban d, ew!hdle his Some 'Dried !aloud !that the 'st crifice was too hand ;upon 'their individual selves, He 'WM.'S a Lambert, ib!u!t he was also a human being, and the ;two emotions of !love and pride strove uni'ghbidy, against one ianothe•r.

'done his (best to ibanis'h the image of Agnes Broin his +heart Doubtless she was attempting the sonic conquest, for she never even wrote to him. And now these two •sorely- tried people were .within speaking distance of one another, and ctran'ge results might 'he looked for unless !honor 'held them sufficiently true. Seeing that the cottage wee near the: 'family seat, an'd that Agnes sooner or later would arrive to 'stay Lambert might have expected that such a .situation would conte abort in the natural course of things, Per- haps dee 'did, and ;perhaps—as some husytbodies said 'he -rook the cot- tage for rohat purpose; ;but to far, he had refrained from seeking the sec- icty ref Pines wife. He would not ev- en dine. at The Manor. nor would - ire join tate ehaotin'a party, although Garcangron, with a singular Mildness, erred hint to :elo so. W'hile daylight lasted, the antis! 'painted 'desperately hard, and after ,dark -wandered rotund the lames and roads and across the fields, haunting almost uneonciously .tile Manor Park. if only to :see in moonlight and twilight the cas'ke' which held the rich jewel he had lost. This was 'foolish, and Lambert ac- knowledged that it was foolish. but at the mane time he added inwardly that he was a lean and not an angel, a -inner and not a saint, so that there were 'limit's, etc., etc„ using imposs- ible arguments to qutie•ten a lively con- s'cien'ce rthat did not approve of this dangerous 'p'hi'1'anderinig. The visit of Miss 'Greeley awoke hint positively to a sense of danger. for of she talked. --end talk she 'did -- other ,people 'would talk also. Lambert asked himself if it would be' better to visit The Manor and behave like a ratan who Stat got over his passion, or to leave the cottage and betake him= BRITISH "LANE MAKES DIRECT IT ON GERMAN SUBMARINE Russia Invades Poland on Sun- day- — British Aircraft Car- rier H. M. S. Courageous is Sunk by Torpedo. Last weer the British announced that "a number of U-boats" had been destroyed. Exact details were with- held. A graphic aceonnt of the sink- ing of a German submarine by a young South African pilot of the royal air force, said. the U-boat was blown to the surface by his bombs before she went down. The pilot said. "I sighted a submarine on the sane face about two miles away travelling pretty fast, about 12 knots, in an eas- terly direction. I took cover in a cloud in order to approach the sub- marine from astern. Identifying the submarine as German, he opened 'fire at 500 feet at a man on the conning tower. "The man on the coitruing tow- er disappeared and the submarine started to dive, By the time I chop- ped my first salvo of bombs, the nearest of which hit the water 15 or 20 yards directly ahead of the sub- marine, the submarine was half under waged. The explosion blew her back to the surface. The nearest bomb of my second salvo was a direct hit on the submarine's portside and there was a colossal explosion and her whole stern lifted out of the water. She dived into the sea at an angle of 30 degrees." AIRPLANE CARRIER SUNK H,M.S. Courageous, a 22,500 ton aircraft carrier, was sunk during the week end by a German submarine, the British admiralty announced. The submarine was attacked by destroyers and wait believed to have been sunk. H.M.S. Courageous is enc of the earliest aircraft carriers. She was originally completed as a cruiser in 1017, and was converted after the war as an aircraft carrier. She was self to London. While turning over this problem in bit mind, he painted feverishly. and for three days• after Miss Greeby had .conte to stir up m'ud'dy :w'a•ter, he remained as much as ipos'sible in his etudia. C'haidea visited hint, as usual, to he painted; and brought Kara with his 'green coat and beloved violin 'and ;hairy look.. The girl chatted, Kara played. and Lam- hert painted, and all three pretended to be very ''ha'p'py and careless. Titin \vas merely on the surface, however, for tate artist 'w•a's desperately wretch- ed, because the other half of 'himself was married to another 'man, while Chaldea, ;getting neither 'dovelaok nor Tare as, felt .wvtt tidy discontented, A Ior Kara, he had long •tinge 'laved Chaldea, who ,treated him like a 'ring, and he could not 'help seeing Iha•t she adored the 'Cien'ti'1'e artist=a know- ledge which alimost broke Ibis heart.. P,Itt it was some satisfaction for faint to 'note Lambert' would have noth- ing to •da 'wish the .iron, and that she could not charm !him to her •feet, sang she ever en tenderly. It was an unt- happy Itrio at the ;best, (Continued) A ntan went to see his doctor about a pain in his back which had been troubling him all day. The doctor ex- amined him and after a few seconds the pain vanished. The mean was very relieved and said: "That's quick work, doctor, was it rheumatism?" "No," the doctor replied. "Your braces were twisted." Rastus had just treated his girl friend to a restaurant dinner and as they departed from the food shop she said: "Rastus, don't you know that it is bad form to sop up your gravy with your bread?" "Liza," he replied, "it might be bad form, but it sho' am good taste." commissioned with the reserve fleet in August with a reduced complement of aircraft, and since the opening of hostilities had been performing very good service in protecting ships of the merchant marine against U-boat attacks, TIGHTEN CONTRABAND CONTROL With its contraband control: becom- ing tighter daily, and with Germany bitterly protesting against it, the Bri- tish ittish government this week through] the board of trade issued in order listing 278 persons and firms, includ- ing firms carrying on business in for- eign countries, whom it considers en- emies within the meaning of the trad- ing with the enemy act. The order warns traders, ship -owners and others against dealing with anybody listed. In addition to its new economic pressure 'methods, to which some Germans attach the real blame for their loss of the world war, the Brit- ish government warned Germany that undertakings given to President Roosevelt to abstain from bombing of civilians can be effective only if they are kept by all, RUSSIA INVADES EAST POLAND On Sunday the Red armies of Sov- iet Russia penetrated war weakened Poland from the East. Diplomatic circles predicted the Polish republic which gained its independence after the first great war, would be divided between Germany and Russia, With the Bret move from the east that pinned Poland in a vice Sunday, Moscow informed Poland's allies, Great Britain and France, that the soviet union would follow a neutral policy toward them. The soviet prem- ier and foreign commissar, lryaehes- laff Molotoif, said crossing tbe fron- tier was necessary to protect once - Russian minorities in eastern Poland. Molotoff said the Polish government ''ceased to exfet", and the minorities, 11.000,000 white Russians and Ukrain- ians, were "abandoned entirely to their fate." The red army advance was general along a 500 -mile front between Latvia on the north and Ru- mania on the south. Great: Britain answered Russia's march into Poland by putting addi- tional economic pressure on Germ- any. The government has decided to protest to tbe Soviet government against the Russian action. At the same time newspapers joined in as- serting that Britain and France would continue their war unrelenting- ly against Germany and that the fight would continue until Hitlet'ism had been smashed. Prince Minister Chamberlain and Viscount Halifax, foreign secretary, consulted with each other and with other government leaders on Monday on the news of Russia's march, NEW TAXES UNDER WAR BUDGET New Federal taxes to help finance Canada's part in the war are an- nounce(' as follows: An excess tax on profits of all com- panies incorporated or not, based on. a rate of 50 per cent of all excess over the average profits of the last four Years. with art alternative gt'arinated settle ranging from 10 per cent to 00 per cent on profits in excess of live per cent on capital used.
