ALTERNATING AFFECTIQNS, It was late when Dick finished ;re- tailing the conversation on which, he had listened in over the wireless die- tagraph. Nevertheless Gaeeick insisted on crossing the Park end dropping he at the Usonia. On the register, freshly blotted, he read: Miss Ruth Walden, Nonowantue, L. I. Miss Tire Gerard, Nonowantuc, L, L, Garrick turned into a telephone booth and rang up Nita Walden. 911 wager. Ruth doesn't sleep much tonight," he said. • "The thought of you and the wrecked car and the mess she is in will keep her awake. We'll stop in for you—early." It was not much after seven when Garrick, Dick and Mrs, Walden rode up in the Usonia elevator. As the 'door clanged shut, Mrs. Walden mo- tioned Garrick back with a nod. Inher haste and nervousness she nearly stumbled to the door of Ruth's room. She rapped but did not wait for Ruth to open, for the door was not locked. "itlumsey!" Without a second's hesi- tation Ruth ran to her mother.. There was no reprimanding Nita Walden felt my joy to have recovered what else thought might have been lost. She took Ruth's pretty fate lovingly in her hands and looked in- tensely into the beautiful blue depths. Mother love and trust were trying to drown suspicion. "Ruth—is everything all right with you?" Her hold on Ruth tightened. "How could I ever co anything .. . with a Munisy like you?" . There was that in Ruth's eyes that told of inno- cence in spite of her wild love of excitement, "Don't wort-•, Mrs` Walden," chim- ed in Vira. "Her only companions last night were a bottle of Omicron Oiland my greasy fingers doing a massaging act." Vire answered a knock at the door. It was Garrick and Dick. Ruth looked tip surprised.

Glenn called to take Vira to the country and the four motored back to Mee. Walden's apartment,. "Mother, we'll go oat to the Club together"'said Ruth, "I'ni going to put on my swankiest gown—aud get the drop on those old gossips out there —sweep 'ern off their ears. Just watch mer„ A bell -boy opened the hall door and set do'svn a beautiful basket of roses. Ruth's face sank in the flowers, She drew 'a card out of the basket and threwiton the table. "Munrnsy, see what Jack Curtis sent me. Isn't he thoughtful? They are my favorite shade. Mrs. Walden looked none too pleased. Back in Garriek's rooms Dick was scowling at the dictagraph as he re- called what he had overheard' last night between Jack and Ruth. Gariick picked up the headpiece. "You know, I never really saw this thing work. What was the matter with it Iasi night?". "Someone jammed in on the same wave length. I can't see yet how—" 'The wilder you are, the more I want to have you." "You go to jail for this!" Ruth aghast. No one also had got in a s d 1\1' h them feel that they were'each her particular friend and had been let in on the whole secret. She hadn't given Elaborate sandwiches, simple ones, anyone a chance to ask' a question and those hearty enough' for a' meal or had told only just what she wanted dainty enough to be served at an at - and no more, just as if it had been ternoon tea, all originated, according the whole story to the whole crowd. to tradition, in that one sandwich the It was perhaps an hour or two later Ears of Sandwich had put together in the afternoon when the big story early ill the eighteenth century.

Sandwiches ga nth feel' lonesome. With no car, it was almost as bad as .no legs. As if in answer t� a prayer, Jack swept up with a flurry in his crimson chummy car. The conversation wafted merrily to the new chummy car. !'Wouldn't you like to try the new boiler?" asked Jack "Would I? Run me over to Merri- hew's garage. I want to see that wrecked boat of my own, You won't mind, Muminsy-for a little while?" "Did you get my flowers, Ruth?" "They were beautiful. How did you know my favorites?" ' He edged over under the wheel near- er her. Ruth smiled at Trim. Suddenly he leaned over to steal a hiss. It went wrong and; fell on her ear. Somehow Ruth was glad it wasn't the one Dick had kissed, But the next moment she had given Jack's hand a little squeeze in return. In the late afternoon Curtis drew up at the Binnacle, a queer old place furnished like the cabin of an old clipper ship. There was a wireless at the Binnacle and it broadcasted music. "Tea!" ordered Jack, turning from Ruth toward the waiter. "Two? Yes, sir." The waiter winked. Jack leaned over. "Going to see what that wink titrant," he whispered to Ruth as he followed the Waitee out. A moment and he returned. "Name's Herman. He's all right," he explained. A few minutes latr Herman ap- peared with cocktails in tea cups. "Here's looking at—" Ruth and Curtis had the cups bal- anced, ready to taste. "Don't!" Ruth looked at him surprised. "Why?" "It's a drug—ether-something—" He turned quickly toward the waiter, rose, seized him by the shoulder, swung him around. Then he reached into the waiter's waistcoat pocket and drew out a little vial. "You'll go to jail for this, Herman!" "Planted on mei" "That's what they all say!" The screen door of the porch swung open, and Professor Vario strode in. He had evidently heard the whole thing on the other aide of the thick boxwood hedge. Before anyone could say a word he seized the vial, smelled it, then smelled the two cups, "That's an aphrodisiac—a Iove po- tion." He turned toward Curtis. ''I believe you saw me getting out of my car just now outside, young man!" (To be continued.) Garrick held up his hand. "It's Vire. and Glenn in the Pink Room," He listened intently. "Vira, I've been aching to have you alum, Please don't get angry at Rae's .foolishness with me. I can't stop her without snaking the crowd sore, You know how it is, I've 'wanted to tell you this in. some place where I could , . ." "Don't Glenn." Then, muffled, "I oughtn't to tell you, but I can't help it. They say you shouldn't be jealous -- how can you help it?"' "I'm going to tell you a secret.. When you gave me that key to give to then, do you know what I did? I got the stuff out first from your house to protect you. And it was lucky L did, How? I put it in my own garage." Garrick chuckled. Here at least was one unbonded warehouse of the Velvet Gang. "You fatheac:s!" This was Rae's voice, interrupting. "Be careful! Don't you know that last night they overlteard-" There was a muffled whisper, a man's voice, but it was lost. It was evidently a caution. "That's a partial expianatiori of why your dictagraph went bad last night, Dick," commented Garrick. "Someone's hunting now for the trans- mitter." Dick Iooked at Garrick and Garrick at Dick. Here they were, powerless to stop it. Dick grabbed one of the earpieces. There was a singing, metallic noise as if someone had wrenched out the iron grill work in front of the fire- place under the old mantel. The diaphragm reproduced a crash - ng crack, The dictagraph receiver was smashed. Tick answered with a twinkle as he looked from Ruth to Dick, "Ruth , .. if you only knew the relief I feel at seeing you again! I was afraid you had been hurt or some. thing. If you could only have seen me you'd know what you mean to me. I felt so sorry for your mother, Ruth. Please be a little careful for her sake." Dick had taken her hand and for- gotten to let it go, Ruth looked at him and away and approved of the holding. "I'll have to let go, Ruth, or . .

"I love you" -and a light, surreptitious kiss on the ear. "Ruth." Garrick spoke, and took Ruth over to the window, leaning down to talk to her. All that Dick caught was a fragment, "-and the estate—the income of ten million dol- lars, next month—when you are eighteen-" In a manner no one else could imitate, Garrick was giving a w e * * When her mother's ear pulled up at the Club that afternoon, Ruth hop- ped out and was up the stops with a bound.

NAME STREET P.O. ADDRESS Ont. Many home makers today include the sandwich in their menus because of this same convenience. It affords a generous amount of food, and is simply prepared and served. The Sunday night supperis an es- pecially good time to serve them since in most homes a light meal is sufficient and the sandwich may be as substantial or as dainty as the in- dividual prefers. The work is greatly simplified if all the ingredients and utensils are made ready first. The bread knife should be sharp, the bread itself neither too fresh nor too stale. There should be separate knives for spread- ing the mixtures • and the butter. should Ile creamed to the right con- sistency for spreading If they are not to be eaten immediately oil paper must be provided. Grilled Sausage Sandwich Parboil and broil three link pork. sausages. Split them and place them on a slice of buttered bread, Sprinkle lightly with catsup. Top them with another piece of buttered bread. Gar- nish with, parsley. Serve with small baked apples or apple sauce. This portion is sufficient for one person. Broiled Ham Sandwich Broil thinly eut slices of smoked ham which have been first brushed with mustard. Butter two half-iuoh slices of bread for each person, to be served while the ham is cooking. Place the bread on the dinner plate on which has been arranged a small lettuce leaf with one stuffed or hard- boiled egg. Then cover the bread withthe slice of broiled ham, place the second slice of bread on top of the ham. Dot the tort with grape jelly. Mortality in Mink Cut by Disc +'very Canadian Identifies Flatworm to Benefit of Fur -raisers To an official of the provincial game and fisheries department, ,Dr, Ronald G. Law of the province's ex- perimental fur farm at Idrkfield, goes credit for having discovered a new cause of Illness and mortality among mink. Obscure though It may seem to lay men, the discovery is regarded as of s.tbstanttal importance to zoologists, veterinarians and wild life conserva- tors. It reveals a new species of flat- worms which lodge themselves in the animal's gall bladder, eventually caus- ing its death. First notification of Dr. Law's suc- cess was had by Dorsad McDonald, deputy minister of game and flsheriee, and other departmental officials, when they received a copy of e scientific paper on the subject from the Smith- sonian institute at Washington. Dr. Law was named as the discoverer. The new species is of the type known to science as "trematodes" and has been identified by the paper's author, Dr, Emmett W. Price of the U.S. department of agriculture, as of the genus parameiorchts. In a ges- ture to its discoverer and the land of his birth, it has been muted para- metoechis canadensis.. Last February Dr. Law sent a mink's gall bladder containing 'about a dozen specimens to the Smithson)- tan institute. Meanwhile zoologists there have been working on the speci- mens and now have identified them. Since February the department had tie word. of what had become of the specimens, so that the recent an- nouncement came as a pleasant bur - prise.

Why not? It is a proven anti dote for pain. It works! And Aspirin tablets are abso- lutely harmless. You have the medical profession's word for that; they do not depress the heart. So, don't let a cold ."run its course.". Don't wait for a head- ache to "wear off." Or regard neuralgia, neuritis, or even rheum- atism as something you must en- dure. Only a physician can cope with the cause of such pain, but you can always turn to an Aspirin tablet for relief. Aspirin is always available, and it never fails to help. Familiarize yourself with its many uses, and avoid a lot of needless suffering. TRAM' MARK Rte. Plato's Academy At forty, his other journeys were over and he settled down in Athexia to found a school of philQ;ophy which, under the name of the Academy, ex- isted in fact or imagination for nine centuries, until, as oar booke say, on the authority of tine Greek historian Ma'alas, the ecltoot was closed by am edict of Justinieu in AD, 520. In our' sources the Acadeiny Is a gymnasium,, a garden, a school, a sect, and a lit+ erary convention. A man like Cicero, would have one of, his own. Since Plato's day, the name has adorned; many different human institutions, groups of learned men, museums of art, theatres, music halts, and schools. for the young. There is an academie tradition.

"Going down to the Academy you will run races with al sober fellow of your own age crown- ed rowned with a ehaplet of reed, smelling of smilax, freedom from politics, and, the leaves of the lime, happy in; springtime when the plane tree whispers' to the elm."

Titian In the Casa Gr..+ nde At, this time Titian abandoned his old studio on the Grand Canal, and occupied a new house in the rural north-eastern part of the city, a re- gion of pure air and 01 Waite lawns, marshes, and. gardens, It, was atene. meat in the Casa Grande, which .had been erected in 1527, and was occupied by several families. The gardens were laid out along the Lagune, over whose long levels the island of Mute. aro was seen, with the Ceneda bilis beyond, and far away in the north the stately peak of Antelao, "rising over the Vale of Cadore. Bore, away from the noise of the city, and in view of his native Alps, the great unaster found a sweet and congenial home. The Casa Grande is still standing, in a remote quarter of Venice, but has been whitewashed and modernized, and shut out from the view of the Laguna by recent buildings. It was formerly much visited by art -pilgrims, but was greatly remodelled in 1863, when the famous old tree in its gars den, which dated from Titian's time, was cut down. Among the students who labored here under Titian's direction were Bordon, Palma Giovine, Bonifazio, Moreno, the elder Bassano, the three brothers Schwarz from Germany, aud the Fleming Calcar.
