CHAPTER XX,—(Cont'd.)
• Monte swung open the door.
"Come in," he said.
"I thought I'd like to talk with you,
If it ain't too late," explained Peter
nervously,
"On the contrary, you couldn't have
come more opportunely. I WAS jest
thinking about you,"
He led Peter bo a ehaii.
"Sit down and make yourself coins
fortable,"
Monte lighted a cigarette, flank into
e near -by chair, and waited.
"Beatrice sold she told you," began
Peter,
"She did," answered Monte; "I'd
congratulate you if if wouldn't be so
Manifestly superfluous."
"I didn't realize she was an old
:friend of yours."
"I've known her for ten years," said
"It's wonderful to have known her
as long as that. I envy you."
"That's strange, because I almost
anvy you."
Peter laughed,
"I have a notion I'd be worried if
you weren't already married, Coving-
ton.",
"Worried?"
"I think Mrs. Covingeon must be a
good deal like Marjory."
"She is," admitted Monte.
So, if 1 hadn't been lucky enough
to find you already suited, you migh
have given me a race."
"You forget that the ladies them-
selves have some vole° in such mat
ters," Monte replied slowly.
"I have better reasons than you for
not forgetting 'that," answered Peter.
Monte started.
"I wasn't thinking of you," he put
in quickly. "Besides, you didn't give
Marjory, a fair chance. Her aunt had
_fuse died, and she—evell, she has learri-
ed a lot since then."
"She has changed!" exclaimed Pe-
ter. "I noticed ie at once; but I•was
almost afraid to believe 'it. She
seems steadier—more serious.''
"Yes."
"You've seen a good deal of her re-
cently?"
"For the last two or three weeks,"
answered Monte.
"You don't mind zny talking to you
about her?"
"Not at all."
""As you're an olcl friend of hers, 1
feel as if I had the right."
"Go ahead."
"It seems to me as if she had sud-
denly grown from a girl to a woman,
1 saw the woman id her all the time.
It—it was to her I spoke before.
Maybe, as you said, the woman wasn't
quite ready."
"Ian sure of it."
"You speak with conviction."
"As told you, I've come to know
her better these last few weeks than
ever before. I've had a chance to
study her. She's had a thence, too,
to study—other men. There's been
one in paticular--"
Peter straightened a bit.
"One in particular?" he demanded
aggressively.
"No one you need fear," replied
Monte, "In a way, it's because of
him that your own chances have im-
proved."
"How?"
"It has given her an opportunity to
compare him with you."
"Are you at liberty to tell me about
him?"
"Yes; I think I have rthat right," re-
plied Monte. "I'll not be violating
any cnfidencea, o
onfidences, because what I know
about him I know from the man him-
self. Furthermore, it was who in.
traduced him to her."
"Oh—a friend of yours."
"Not a friend, exacbly; an acquain-
tance of long standing' would be more
accurate, I've heen in touch with
him all my life, but it's only lately
I've felt that I was really getting to
know hirn."
"Is he here in Nice now?" inquired
Peter.
"No," answered Monte slowly. "He
went away a little while ago. He
went suddenly—God knows where. I
don't think he will ever come baCk."
"You can't help pitying the poor de-
vil if he was fond of her",said Peter.
"But he wasn't g•ood enough for
her. It was his own foult too, so he
isn't deserving even of pity."
"Probably that • makes it all the
harder. What was the matter with
him?"
"He was one of the kind we spoke
of the other night—the kind who al-
ways sits in the grandstand instead
of getting inthathe game."
"Pardon me if I'm wrong, but—I
thought you spoke rather sympatheti-
cally of that kind the other night."
"I was probably reflecting Ms
views," Monte pearled.
"That accounts for it," retailed
Peter, "Somehow, it didn't sound
consistent in you. wish I could see
your face, Covington."
"We're sitting in the dark here,"
answered lVfonte.
"Go on."
"Merjory liked this fellow web en-
ough because—well, because he look-
ed more or less like a man. He was
big physleally, and all that. Besides,
his ancestors wore all men, and I
suppose they Melded down some-
thing,"
"What was his name?"
"I think I'd. rather not tell you that.
Ib's of no importance. This is all
strictly in conadence."
"I understand."
"So she let herself see a good deal
of him. He was able to tenon her.
That kind of fellow generally can en-
terthin a woman. In 'fact, that is
about all they aro good for, When
at comes down to the big thinge, there
isn't =eh there. They are well en-
eigh for the holidays, and I guess
that was ell she was thinking about,
She had had a hard time, and wanted

"Perhaps."
"So, after that, he left."
"And he cared for her?"
oyes,.
"Poor devil!"
"I don't know," numed Monte, "IIe

wasn't big enough for her,—then h
couldna do anything else, could he?
"The kind big enough to eonside

"Do you mind repeating. that?"

"I think he would like to heal. that.
You see it's the first real sacrifice he

"It may be the making of him."
"Perhaps."
"He'll always have her before him
as an ideal, When you come in
touch with such a woman as she—
you can'b lose, Covington, no matter
how things turn out."
"I'll tell him that too,"
"It's what I tell myself over and
over again To-day—well, I had an
idea there must be some one in the
'background of her life I didn't knote
about."
"You'd better get that out of your
head. This man isn't even in the
background, Noyes."
"I'm not so sure. I thought she
seemed worried. I tried to make her
tell me, but she only laughed. She'd
face death with a smile, that woman.
I got to thinking about it in any
room, and that's why I came down
here to you. You've seen more of
her these last few months than I
have."
"Not months; only weeks."
"And this other—I don't want to
pry into her affairs, but we're alt just
looking to her happiness, aren't we?"
"Consider this other man as dead
and gone," cut in Monte, "He was
lucky to be able to play the small
part in her life that he did pay."
"But something is disturbing her.
I know her voice; I know her laugh.
f I didn't have those to go by, there'd
be something else. I can feel livhei
she's herself and when she isn't,"
Monte grasped his chair arms. He
had studied her closely the last few
days, and had not been able to de-
tect the fact that she was worried. He
had thought her ayer, more light-
hearted, than usual, It was so that
she had held herself before him.. If
Peter was right,—and Monte did not
doubt the man's superior intuition,—
then obviously she was worrying over
the technicality that still held her a
prisoner. Until she was actually free
she would live up to the letter of her
contract. This would naturally tend
to strain her intercourse with Peter.
She was not one to take such things
lightly. -
Monte, crossed the room, and placed
his hand on Peter's shoulder.
"I think I can assure you," he said
slowly, "that if there is anything.
bothering her now, it is nothing that
will last. All you've got to do is to
be patient and hold on."
"You seem to be mighty confident."
"If you knew what know, you'd
be confidant tob,"
Peter frowned.
"I don't like discussing these things,
but—they mean so much,"
"So much to all of us," nodded
monte, "Now, the things to do is to
turn in and get a good night's
sleep. After all, there is something
in keeping normal."
And all the drowsy droning of the
bees,
✓ Laden with stolen loveliness, ho bides,
o Like some half frightened bird with
p ' drooping wings,
In stealthy silence, till the waning
light
Fades and is gone; then joyous,a he
confides
The wistful homage of his harvest-
ing.s
Unto the tender keeping of the
night.
CHAPTER XXI.
Back to Schedule
Monte rose the next morning to
find Bid skies leaden and a light,
drizzling rain falling that promised
to continue all day. It was the sort
of weather that ordinarily left him
quite helpless, because, not caring for
either bridge or billards, nothing re-
mained but to pace the hotel piazza—
an amusement that under the most
favorable conditions has its limita-
tions. But to-day—even though the
rain had further interfered with his
arrangements by snaking it necessary
to cancel the trip he bad planned for
Marjory and Peter to Cannes—the
weather was an inconsequential incid-
ent, It clid not, matter greatly to
him whether it rained or not.
This morning Marjory would per-
force remain indoors, and $o if he
went to see ha it WAS doubtful
whether he would be interfering with
any plans she might have made for
Peter. An hour was all he needed—
perhaps less. This would leave the
two the remainder of the day free—
and, after that, all the days to come.
There would he hundreds of ehom—all
the days of the :rummer, all the days
of the fall, all theadays of the winter,
and all the days of the spring; then
another seamier, and so 0 new cycle
full of days twenty-four hours long,
Out of these he was going to take
one niggardly hour, Nor was he ask-
ing that little for his own sake. Eager
as he was—es he had been for two
weeks—for the privilege of just be-
ing Melte with Iter, he would have
foregone that now, had ft been pos-
sible to write her what he had to say.

The trap worked so successfully

Other German warships and destroy-
ers were severely pnnished, and RAY

was prevented.
Commodore Keyes was again fore-

Made Record in 'Boxer Rebellion and
Decoyed German Cruisers Early
In the WAX.
Roger Keyes is his name, Vice -Ad-
miral Roger John Brownlow Keyes,
and he found fame by raiding 7,ee-
brugge and Ostend with the gallant
Dover patrol,
He is young as Vice -Admirals go,
only 45, and he has the vigor anci air
of youth. Years ago when the Boxer,'
rebellion in China,aaas at its height
and it was as much as a white man's
life was worth to show his face in-
land he took a couple of destroyers up
the Yang-Tsei-Hei and boarded and
captured four Chinese torpedo boats.
Then he landed with about a dozen
men, seized a Chinese fort which
threatened trouble and despite the
garrison blew the place up and with-
drew his little party without a single
casualty,
That hi one of the reasons Ms capa-
bilities are so highly thought of. That
and the fact that he is a leader, who
even in the British navy, where the
standard of enargy and courage is
high, has always been noted for his
combination of coolness and extra-
ordinary daring.
Served in Africa.
As a midshipman he served in one
of England's petty wars in Africa. As
a lieutenant he leaped into fame by
his conduct during the Boxer rebel-
lion. Of him it might be said that he
has done nothing without putting
forth all his strength, and that, like
his immortal predeeessor, Nelson, lie
has always counted nothing done
while aught remains to do,
For his services in China Lieut.
Keyes was promoted to the rank of
Commander, was mentioned in de-
spatches and received the praise of
the Admiralty. A few weeks later he
again distinguished himself by diving
from a height of thirty feet into the
INSTEAD
Every Canadian is urged by the
Food Board to enlist; in the campaign
to save sugar. As a nation we have
always used more sugar than we
really needed. This awakening to the
use of other forms of sweet in our
diet and cooking will not injure our
health and will be of great service to
our Allies.
Among the sugar substitutes we
have the syrups which include mo-
lasses, corn and maple syrups; honey;
maple sugar; dried fruits which in-
clude figs, raisins, dates and prunes;
jams, preserves, jellies and sweet can-
ned fruits with their juices.
Corn syrups, molasses and honey all
contain about four-fifths sugar and
one-fifth water so that in using any
of these we obtain about four spoon-
ful of sugar from five spoonfuls of
syrup but as the syrup contains mois-
ture, more flour must be used or an
equal amount of a flour, such as bar-
ley flour, which bakes up more mois-
ture.
In substituting corn syrup in a re-
cipe calling for all sugar, we may use
one-half syrup and one-half sugar by
deducting one-quarter cupful of
amount of liquid in original vecipe, for
each cup of substituted syrup.
In preserving, part syrup gives ex-
cellent results and manufacturers as-
sert it is superior to all sugar. One
part of syrup and three parts of sugar
is the beet proportion although equal
parts are often used; this reduces the
constunption of sugar one-third or one-
half.
Unfortunately the cost of the sub-
stitutes is so high at the present time
that it does not lessen the cost of a
recipe- to use them in place of mega
but it is our patriotic duty now to do
so.
We can easily do without sweet
drinks; candy, sugar frostings and su-
gar on our cereals.
The following suggested desserts re-
quire little sugar and should find a
place in oin. menus at this time:
Baked apples with raisins or dates.

Vice -Admiral Sir Roger Keyes of
Ostend -Zeebrugge Fame,
and there he served as chief of staff
to Vice -Admiral Sir Michael de Ro-
beck. •
In 1911, after his promotion to Rear
Admiral, he was appointed director of
plans at the Admiralty, a position for
which his strong. liking for the stren-
uous offensive fitted him peculiarly.
He did excellent work in that posi-
tion, but bis professional qualities and
his special aptitude for executive
work led to his appointment at the
end of last year to the 'command as
Vice -Admiral at Dover.
Results are Fur Reaching.
It is not permissible to state what
the material results of this change
have been, but they have been im-
portant and far reaching. It can only
be said that his unremitting efforts
have made the Straits of Dover less
pleasant than ever to the German
submarines and thus greatly hamper-
ed their campaign against the Allies.
Admiral Keyes has always been
unsparing of himself. The heroic
fighting men who man the drifters on
the Channel anti-submarine guard are
all the better at their work because
they know that there is no danger of
theirs he does not eagerly share.
The secretary of the Admiralty an-
nounced on April 26 that "His Ma
jesty the Ring has signified his ap-
proval of the promotion of acting
Vice -Admiral Roger a, B. Keyes,
C.B., C.M.G., M.V.O., D.S.0 a to be
a member of the Second Class, or
Knight Commander of the Most Hon-
orable Order of the Bath (military
division) in recognition of his ciiatin-
guished service in command of the
raid against Zeebrugge and Ostend
on Tuesday, April 28, 1918."

age depth of 110 feet.

great difficulty. in • n estuary whose

food problem 'is further 'complicated
by difficulties of Anima and trans-

orders might easily lead to serious de-
rangement of important induetries
and ultimate harm to the production
or the distribution of necessary foods.
So, too, orders which might with rea

result in a lessening of general effici-
