ISSUE 49---'42 A ed out his hand i reached a d Martin. had e h to touch Candace's where it lay on the arm of her chair. He shot to his feet, almost choking in his rage. Some instinct advised caution. He waited an instant to be sure of his voice; then he said, with an effort at casualness,,; "Well, Corby, we'd better get and get our things together, since we're leaving so early in the morning." "The morning!" Martin repeat- ed, "You said we were leaving after dinner." Peter found he could lie fairly convincingly, "I thought I told you," he said. "The Chief at the new place sent notice he wants all students in Sunday evening, in- stead of Monday." It was the first time Candace had spoken in some time. "Peter," she said, and she sounded stricken, "you said you were going to stay late tomorrow. You promised." Peter himself felt stricken. He felt a heel "I know," he ad- mitted, "but I can't help this. I'm not doing it just to be mean." The hell you're not, he rebuked. himself savagely, you're willing to spite yourself by running off, you're willing to make that poor kid stay here alone with only a doddering old housekeeper for company just because she prefers Martin to you. Your nose is out of joint, theta all. ... Be sug- gested gently, "Didnt you say that one of your schoolmates wanted you to visit her? Why don't you go there tomorrow?" "Because I've already told her I couldn't go there tomorrow. I can't go pushing other people's plans around to suit myself." Even though you do, her manner added clearly. She said defiantly, but as though in a desperate ef- fort to convey a message, "I'm not going there at all. rm not going to budge from this house." s * a They had come into the living room and were standing at the foot of the stairs leading to the bedrooms. "What time are you leaving?" she asked. "I'll speak to Mrs. Hobbs about breakfast." "No breakfast," Peter said with n false effort at cheer. "We'll eat on the road. Can't rout out the poor old lady at 4 o'clock or so in the morning." "I'll get your breakfast." The way to a man's heart, Peter's mind quoted. Candace in a frilly apron, for Martin's bene- fit. And he said quickly, "Oh, no, you won't. You'd only hold us up. We're going to be in a hurry. You stay in bed." .He meant it as an order and she understood it that way. She was choked with impotent, in- dignant rage, She thought, the bully, the bully! She was on the verge of disappointed, angry tears, and she wanted to run off up- stairs before they should overcome her. She held out her hand to Mar- tin briefly. "Goodby," she said. Peter held out his hand to her but she strode icily past, ignore ing it. - It was the first time that they had ever parted in anger. Peter stood and watched her go and he felt foolish and angry and even a bit sick. Martin was the cause of it all; and he found himself wishing savagely that he might relieve his feelings by taking it out of Martin's hide. * * * By the morning, any anger Candace had felt toward Peter was gone, partly because she had a naturally sunny disposition that found it difficult to harbor resent- ment but mostly because there was no room in her thoughts for anything or anyone but Martin. She Was disappointed that he was not actually there with her, yes; but in place of that she could look forward, with a tightening around her heart at the thought, to receiving her first letter from him. For she never doubted that he would write. She never doubted that he had felt exactly as she .had, from the first moment onward, She thought of the moment et the terrace when Martin had reacihed out and covered her hand' with ills Ovral she could live fOr days on that memory alone, On Monday she asked Robb& for the use of the suburban and made several trips to the post- office for mail on the ehenee,. though admittedly a slight one, that Martin might have thought to drop her a card notifying her of his safe arrival;. but she was not top disappointed that there. was nothing. If the positions had beet) ,reversed she would have notified him, she thought; bat' then men, she supposed, felt dif- ferently about such things; it would never occur to them that anyone might worry, * ,t •s The same reasoning sufficed to keep her from disappointment Tuesday. But when on Wednes. day morning there was again no word she was plunged abruptly. from not Having even doubted, to the despairing certainty that he had never intended to write at all. Her anger with Peter came back, Of course Martin would not write, nor could she blame him; after having invited hili as his guest, suddenly and for no reason that she could see Peter hadrushed M a. shed actin away.' She h d sensed, and wondered at, Peter's annoyance; certainly Martin, too, would have noticed it, And been wounded. Justifiably so, she felt. Peter had behaved unpardon- ably. And she debated, snatching at the sop to her pride the excuse offered, if she shouldn't write Martin, make some slight refer- ence to Peter's temperamental behavior; not much, but enough to sort of apologize, to let him know that someone at Tuckaways had manners. She turned. from that thought ashamed of her disloyalty to Peter. But she knew, with a sick, shamed certainty, that she would find some othe:• excuse, that she must write Martin if she did not hear from him soon. It was not the thing to do, she knew, but any- thing was better than that he should just drop out of her life, anything, anything. * * The morning dragged. Even her old certain solace, reading, had failed her. A book that before had held her enthralled now• seemed windy and dull, its story spun out frail and meaningless beside the reality of Martin. She tossed it aside and went out to wander about the grounds. That improved neither her spirits nor her appetite so that her luncheon went untouched, but it had served to kill time. Now it was 2 o'clock, time for the afternoon mail. This Nine there was a letter from Martin. She had schooled herself so thoroughly for another disappoint. ment that at first she felt no ela- tion. Just 'a sudden chilling of hands and feet, and a squeezing sensation in the pit of her stomach. Then she was as suddenly fired with energy. She snatched at the rest of the miscellaneous mail and dashed off in the car, feverish to be somewhere that she might read 1t alone. But when she had parked on a little -used side road on the edge of a wood she was slow to open it, prolonging her pleasure. She studied it, savoring its possible contents. How had he addressed her? "Dear Miss Bech"? "Dear Candace"? In that ease the "dear" would mean nothing; but suppose he'd written "Candace dear"! The address, though sprawling still had a rounded look, as though the letters had been carefully, painstakingly drawn. The inside contents, too, had a look as though they might have been copied from a first draft, rather than some- thing dashed off. The whole had a stilted air, seemed an embar- rassed boy's rehash of something out of "Letters for Every Occa- sion": Dear Candace Bech: I am most grateful for the very pleasant time afforded me by you and your cousin last week -end. I find that through a lucky acci- dent I will be in the neighborhood of Tuckaways again this Sunday, and I would consider it a privi- lege to be allowed to tender my thanks in person. Please advise me whether I may do so. Yours sincerely, MARTIN CORBY. (Continued Next Week) Christmas Cheer On Way To Fleet Here's a special communique (to be delivered with appropriate fanfare) for Canadian naval offi- cers and ratings who patrol Can- ada's eastern seaboard: "The Christmas plum pudding, cake and all the trimmin's, are on their way," A trainload of Christmas cheer (the solid kind) went out from Montreal last week aboard the Canadian National Railways' Mari. time Express, carrying 1,850 pounds of Christmas cake and 29 cartons of plum puddings, be- decked with Yuletide decoration. The Christmas fare was ordered by the munitions department and consigned to the naval supply officer, "somewhere" in ,Eastern waters.

Service Hostels Care For Sailors A Brief History of The Bri- tish Sailors' Society When the British Sailors' Soc- ietywas founded, men and women Who had seen the "Victory" start en het' voyage to Cadiz and Rea taigas were still young. Happily the degrading condi- tions pertaining in those days for sailone ashore have been swept away in the course of time, and this is partly due to the practical work carried out with steady per- severance by the British Sailors' Society. Rihrouglh all these years, the So- ciety has moved with the times and has built up a world-wide chain of service, by which (to use the words of His Majesty the King when Duke o2 York) "it touches tate Sailor at every point of his life. It trains him, houses him, gives him recreation, tends liim to bis old age and helps his depend- ents. In short, 3t labours cease- lessly and devotedly for all that raagnificelvt body of men upon whom the prosperity of the Bri- tish Empire so largely depends," Hostels round the coasts of the British isles and away in the ports of the seven seas have been es- tablished -over ' 100 hostels, sta- tions and agencies through which the sailor is served in the manner described by His Majesty. No matter whether a sailor goes to Haifa, Bristol, London, Vic- toria, B.C., Bilbao or Mil0ord Hav- en (to take a few examples) he will receive a warm welcome from the Port Missionary and will find a comfortable bed, good food, re- creation and friends. So happy are the conditions in the hostels that there are many examples of men who have gone round the world keeping constantly within the broad limits of the Society by making use of its hostels. 1t le to the hostels, too, that many sur- vivors at sea tragedies are brought and it is' in the hostels that they Mad comfort, entertainment and hospitality while earangements are made for them to be re -clothed and sent to their homes, or, .in the Give him a load of ' the famous brand that's chuck full of smokinj pleasure. /c(en S' FINE CUT WeetalareirsoseenteieSeeeGegatheatleteniasil case of Allied or Foreign seamen, to be handed into the cele of tlhei`t' own representatives.

Eagle Is Really Coward At Heart Probablymore, balderdash and inaccurate material is written about eagles than about any other bird • or animal of nature, says the St. Thomas Times -Journal. The eagle is pictured as a huge, ferocious man-eater of the air, a1g winged giant that carries off Iambs, calves and even babies. Stories which seem to support thio idea concerning the eagle appear in school books and establish a false premise that may continue through life. Bird students repeat again and again that the eagle is a misun- derstood bird, and anyone who, has had the opportunity to watch them closely over a period of time, such as a fanner living near an eagle nest, ivi11 corroborate what is. said by those who have studied the bird. The eagle, a majestic giant on. the wing, is really more 0r less & coward at heart. Games For Home Fine Yule Gifts Long before Christmas it will. dawn on us all that the family will be home evening after eve- ning. Cribbage boards, for ex- ample, checker and chess boards are in demand. Two-handed games that have not known popu- larity since bridge made inroads on the cozy game of cards are gaining attention.
