Back from Britain in the time

"Nobody can play tennis over there
any more," he was kind enough to

Equally severe were the coni-
enents of Evangelist Renee Marta.
(In case you don't happen to know,
or remember, Miss Martz is nine
years old and is widely billed se
The Wonder -Child Preacher). "No
matter what T ate," commented.
Renee, speaking of her experiences
in Britain, it did not fill me up.
Their ice cream is terrible, I did
not like their candy. The people
are threadbare and shabby!"
Not having been 'born until 1940
--remarks the author—the little
evangelist can hardly be blasted for
not appreciating the main cause of
our austerity. But surely the two
sportsmen should have had some
inkling of what has been going on
in these isles in the last 10 years.
As an American, Hogan may be
largely forgiven for his ignorance,
and so may Perry, for he has long
been a United States citizen.
The fact is that the average
American has very little apprecia-
tion of the fundamental causes of
Britain's present plight, nor does
he realize the tremendous strain to
which all our resources (including
golf courses and tennis courts)
were atebjected during the tear, two
years of which we endured before
the United States was forced into
,the con flict.
Mr. Webster explains that this
leek of appreciation is not due to
indifference, and that the average
American in well disposed toward
the people of Britain.

"It is largely because the facto
about Britain are either kept from,
or distorted into falsehood. When
The inatalments of Winston Church-
BHl'm second war book, "Their Pin-
ola Hour," appeared in the Daily
Telegraph, we were given the com-
parative figures of British and
American casualties. The magazine,
Life, which holds the United States
Tights for Mr. Churchill's memoirs,
ant out those figures, Life's editor
spared his readers the knowledge
that, in proportion to the two na-
tions' population, Britain lost twice
SS many fighting men as did the
United States.. Ha also left out all
mention of the 60,000 British civil -
bane killed in air raids,"

But tins ie all we can quote from

Hogan and Fred Perry, which fleet

in The
Schott Story by Clatre Pltrismttte
There wait a la en$d in the remote
Sussex village of Ceteeby. It was
known throughout the length and.
breadth cf the country—and, indeed
farther afield—'the legend of Lady
Catesby of Catesby Manor, a lady
bountiful par excellence.
And now, though she was dead,
the legend would never die.
It seemed to Martin Gregory,
wandering son of the village, that
nothing had changed since be had
left many years before, Even the
trump whom be and Bit Daley, the
factor's son, had christened Sunny
Jim, was 'sitting there by the lodge
gates in his dirt and his happiness,
cooking a stew identical with the
horrible concoctions he bad brewed
alt those years ago when Martin
- and Hill hall been lads together.'
But now the estate had passed
to the National Trust and the long
line of the Catesbys was finished.
I t was with a kind of melancholy
pride that Bill Daley led the first
party of visitors from the gate-
house, up the drive, and in through
the great main doorway.
For a moment, Martin Gregory
stood and watched. Then he
glanced at Sunny I inn, who stared
hack. It w'a.n't often Jim spoke,
but the happiness which glowed
from him needed no words,
Now be spoke slowly,- as if lus
voice were an instrument ru.ety
through lack of use.
"1'd go, too, if 1 was you, sir," he
wheezed. "Nice to 'ear tell 'bout
'er Ladyship."
Martin grinned at hint, "All right,
I will. It's years since I've been in
these parts. I thought I'd like to
see the leaves before they fell.
Sentinnental, I suppose."
Ile paid his money at the gate-
house, took his ticket, and crept
into the great hall as Bill Daley
was warming to his theme. Some
whin prompted him to keep in the
background of the party where he
wouldn't be noticed.
"And that, ladies and geutleoea."
Bit was saying, "is the portrait of
Lady Catesby herself, painted a
short time before she died,"
'rhe party lifted tis eyes from
the fireplace with its armorial
bearings to the picture above, and
stared in rex erent silence at the
painting --of a woman somehow
lacking in humanity. The famous
artist had succeeded in showing no
more than he had been able to dis-
cover—a beautiful, empty shell.
"Site was a very wonderful wom-
an," Bill went on. "The village
will never forget her." There was
an expression of devotion on his
face.
'fife almost trance -like look was
ROW reflected in the eyes of his
listeners. They, too, had read of
the legend in their newspapers.
4t Martin listened, the old spell
began to fall on him. It was true,
every word of it—the houses she
had built in the village, the web -
equipped achoothouse, the prize
herds, the famous beech woods, the
model farms.
And yet, it seemed there was
more happiness in the grimy face
of the old tramttp--the- proverbial
poor man at the gate—than in Chet
d.1 Irene, Lady Ceteeby.
But if there were double in Mar-
tin's mind, there were nolle in
Bill's. He, like Martin, had been
through the war, but it seemed to
have left him untouched, as if in
the core of his being there still
remained this vision, this faith in e
legend.
Then he directed his hearere gaze
towards the picture which hung be-
side that of Lady Cateeby, of Rog-
er, her husband. Here, too, was
perfection. A beautiful love story,
cut short by the death of hie lord-
ship. He was drowned one his way
to join an expedition to free aome
obscure European country from the
yoke of another.
Bill Daley's geography was as
unreal as Ida grasp of life, but there
was no mistaking his sincerity at
he told it story of deathless gal-
lantry.
The audience sighed nostalgical-
ly. Not even Hollywood had con-
calved anything like this. And now
it focussed its gazed on the next
portrait, of young Jeremy Catesby,
their only son, And here, again,
wee that lustre of heroism; for be
had lost his life on a clinching ex.
'pedition in Africa.
It was then, as Bill's voice w ent
on eulogizing, that Martin's clear
doetor'a brain began to question.
Why had young Jeremy—whom he
had known as a quiet, gentle lad, a
bookworm at heart—gone off into
a dark continent that could have
''held no attraction for him, and died
lit a test of physical endurance for
which he was utterly unsuited?
Awl more strangely still, we
should this father, a conventional
Rnglieht .gentleman, have sacrificed
himself in a cause whickt could act
have touched him in the very leen,
What was the chink in the /Ao-
mor? Why wag it that somehow the
story seemed to ring false.
As Martin went over the house,
he was again caught and held by
the spell, and his imagination wee
still dazzled when, at the end of the
tour, he went up to Bill and made
himself known.
"It's grand to see you here still,
old titan," he said, warmly, "I re-
member how you loved the old
place."
Bill gripped his outstretched
hand. "Gosh, Martin Gregory, by
all that wonderful! Yes, it was a
bit of luck being kept on here, it's
tneaot so much to nae."
"I read about the estate being
taken over, and I felt I'd like to
see the beech woods again," Martin
told hint, "I've dreamed of 'sin in
the most outlandish places."
!till smiled understandingly.
Then his voice filled with emotion,
"it's a year almost to the day since
her Ladyship died. But it doesn't
seem possible she isn't with us still,
there are so many signs of 'her
goodness everywhere,"
The two men walked slati'ly
down to the gateltous ', where an-
other party of sightseers was be-
ginning to cnlleet.
"it seems as if we were still kids
together, you and I and young
Jeremy," Bill continued. "Such a
tragedy he went, too. But then, it
was a fitting end for a Catesby."
ile lit his pipe and pointed,
"Even old Sunny Jim's here to veal -
come y'onl Cheer how he turns up
every autumn. Remember how
he'd always arrive in time to see
the leaves turn? Then he'd die -
appear again," He laughed awk-
wardly. "I expect it was only co-
inridenee, realty. You'd hardly ex-
pert a tramp to care."
"No, hardly," Martin agreed.
When the last of the visitors had
gone and Martin had supped with
Bill in his quarters at the manor,
he sauntered down to the gatehouse
before turning in, for a last look at
the house in the evening light.
Sunny Jim was still sitting there,
and Martin held out a plug of to-
bacco to him,
"Guess you'd rather have a chew
than smoke," he said, with a grin.
The tramp took the tobacco and
stowed it away in some dingy inner
recess.
He pointed up to the trees,
"Kinder pretty," he remarked.
Martin nodded, Then, impulsively
he said, "They're lovely, too, it
winter, when they're bare. You'd
like 'em. I expect things ll loosed
up a bit now her Ladyship's gone.
Maybe you could find yourself a
Corner somewhere around, where
you'd be snug and dry. There's a
galnekeeper's shack in the woods
that hasn't been used for years, so
Mr. Daley tells me,"
Stony Jim's face broke into a
delighted grin, showing broken
teeth. "It's an idea, sir," he said.
"I'm sure 'er Ladyship wouldn't
have approved, but now, I guess
I'll give it a try,"
Then something flashed into
Martin's mind—suddenly, like a •
voice speaking that wasn't his
own.
He swung open the gates and
with a gesture that was in no way
ironic, he swept off his hat, and
said:
"Welcome home, my Lord!"
For a moment the tramp regard-
ed him without a blink. Then with
dignity, he collected his few ludic-
rous belongings and moved slowly
through the gates,
When he spoke, his voice bad
changed. "She was a maniac for
perfection was Irene," he muttered.
"And in the end, it would have
driven me diad, I suppose the boy
couldn't stand it either. She was
never meant for this world. She's
much better suited where she's
gone." Now there,was a ghost of
a smile on his weatherbeaten face.
"t tried to keep away, all those
years. But—it was the beech woods
that drew me hark. I loved 'em,
you know—always shall.
He raised his battered hat i91
salutation.
There w'ae moisture in Martin's
eyes as he watched him go up the
drive towards the gamekeeper's
shack, But why should there be?
He had hie beloved woods to add
to the precious treasure of freedom
and independence.
