CHAPTER E
Joe Danburne's dark and hand-
some face was plainly framed in the
big glass window that Honey faced
as she sat there in the cozy living
room, Astonishment was written
all over his countenance, mingled
with relief as lee saw her. But then,
instantly, his face was masked by
cruelty and passion as he rooked
through the window. Icy shivers
ran up and down Honey's spine. Site
did not want slim to know that
she had seen him, or that she knew
he was anywhere around.' Ignor-
ance on her part height postpone
the showdown that would surely
come when lie knew iii.; presence
was discovered.
So she sat there, trying to act
highly interested in Mrs. Carey's
tale, which was no longer funny to
her. Blood rushed through her -
veins at double quick bine, and her
temples pounded like sledgeham-
mers. She expected almost momen-
tarily to see Joe lift a hand and
fire a gun at her point blank, so
enraged were his eyes for a while;
they were black with cold fury,
n sL,.ct} a. She watched out
the corner of her eyes she saw a
,Ion wicked gleam cross his face,
She knew without a doubt that
plans that included her were form-
ing in his mind.
After minutes of staring through
the window, which seemed hours to
Honey as she went through mental
and physical agony, Joe turned and
disappeared into the blackness. She
forced herself to sit calmly and wait
until she was certain that he was
no longer watching: then she stood,
trembling violently,
"You have a chill, child," ex-
claimed Mrs, Carey in amazement,
"lv[y dear, you are ill."
"I —I must leave. Now!" she
gasped in hoarse whispers. There
was no denying the haste in her
tone, nor the frantic appeal in the

eyes that she lifted pleadingly to
Art. "Please."
"I'11 take you," Art spoke quickly.
But as he walked to the window
his steps were .slow as if nothing
were wrong. He pulled down the
shade. -After that his movements
were rapid, He hurried to Honey's
side. "Somebody was looking in at
the window?" he asked.
She nodded her head.
"Yes," she told him, trying hard
to bring calmness - back into her
excited voice. "I must get away
quickly. Oh, please -I can't wait
another minute, it might already.
be too late."

Art turned without a word and
went out the back door.. He re-
turned almost instantly.
"There is no one around now.

Mrs. Carey stood wide-eyed and
sal- nothing until Honey was ready
to go. Then site put motherly arms
about her and kissed her affec-
tionately and there were tears in
the older woman's eyes,
"I ala sorry, lay dear, that you
have to go," Sincere regret was in
her voice and matched the senti-
ment in her eyes, "I ant sure it
must be urgent or youwouldstay
until morning. T shall worry- about
you."
HHIoney returned t 11 a embrace
warmly. She had become very at-
ta.:hed to the Carey: in the short
time she had been in their home
and she hated to part from them.

"Timhtk you for being so kind to
me, Mrs. Carey, I shall never for-
get it. I do have to go, though. You
will understand some day. And
please do not worry. I shall be all
right." '
.Honey and Art crept silently out
of the house and only the noise of
the motor as it was started told of
their departure.
Miles flew by quickly and silence
seemed to be the best companion
for a long time. Art gave his atten-
tion to the task of keeping on the
foggy highway-, He did 1101 even
take time out for lighting up his
faithful pipe.

Relativity
Question; If all automobile is
going fifty miles an hour and there
is an insect inside that can fly at
five miles an hour ,show fast is it
going if it flies from the back to
the front of the car? Answer: This
depends upon your frame of re-
ference. To an observer on the
ground, the insect's speed would be
the speed of the car plus that of
the insect, or fifty-five miles an
hour. If it flew from front to back,
it would be the difference between
the two speeds, or forty-five miles
all hour. However, relative to the
car itself and to an observer in it,
the insect's speed would be just
five miles per hour.

Would you like some nice, fresh
string beans straight from the gard-
en? All right then, better drop in
some day and have dinner with us
and that is just what you will get.
Come to thunk of it, you had better
let us know over night when you are
coming so 1 can get a carton from
the locker, Yes, I admit that is
where the beans are stored — and
are they -ever good! Do you re-
member, away back in August, we
were experimenting with green
string beans? According to my
frozen -food cook book, beans for
the locker should be scalded,
bleached and then packed in .weak
brine, After doing several cartons
that way someone told me that the
only purpose of the scalding and
brine -packing method was to pre-
serve tile colour — actually the
beans would keep just as well if put
in plain.
Well, 1 am always ready to try an
easier way of doing things, so after
that Cicely and I picked our beans,
washed them, cut thein diagonally
into small pieces and packed the
cartons just as tight as we could
get 1110111. Result — a pint of beans
for two cents — the price of quick
freezing. Not only that but they
were produce from the garden that
would otherwise have been wasted.
You know how it IS with beans --
they
they are so prolific it's impossible to
keep pace with them for the table:
So there you are.— just thought T
would tell you the result of our ex-
periment as you might like to try
that way yourself sometime. Believe
iale, it is much easier than fussing
around with boiling water and brine
I meant to have tried freslt green
peas that way but we ate them all
— there were none for the locker.
Here is another experiment — it
is not my own — just one that was
handed on to me. A certain party
was given about a bushel of yellow
corn on the cob. Not garden corn --
just straight field corn, like farmers'
grow for the cows. The lady in
question cooked a few cobs but it
was ro tough her family couldn't eat
it, Being a frugal body she hated
throwing so much good food away
so she tried all experiment too. All
she did was slice off the corn into
cartons just as you would for can-
ning, sent it down to the locker -
and forgot about it. This winter she
took a carton home, cooked the
corn as usual — and it was as nice
and tender as any she had ever
tasted. The only explanation they
could give her at the locker was the
process of freezing had probably
broken down the tough fibres of
the corn,
Maybe I should add, that as far as
our beans were concerned I cooked
them fifteen minutes in my pressure
cooker. Ah, that priceless pressure
cooker! I was telling Partner the
other day I don't believe I could
keep (house without it. Man -like the

well without it for about twenty
years."
Having got this far I had to stop
there was business to see to
down town. Last night I got.
everything ready — bank book,
shopping list and application form
filled in for my driver's permit. Then
I got my nice new purse that was
sent to Inc from England — and
there I was, already to go. T went
to the Post Office and then to the
bank and in each case had occa-
sion to use only a little small
change. The drugstore was my next
port of call. What I bought came
to nearly two dollars, I fumbled
around in my purse for my wallet
— and it just wasn't there!
Every woman knows how hard it
is to get used to a new purse so I

ALUMINUM W R E.N C H E S,
Makers claim that these aluminum
'wenches, although less than half
the weight of comparable products,
have all the strength necessary for
even heavy duty requirements,
and hadn't put it back again; What
it contained wasn't a fortune but it
was definitely too much to lose. I
inquired at the bank and the post
office and it wasn't there. Incident-
ally it left me without any money
for shopping! T got around that by
collecting the cream cheque. "Now
look here," I said to myself, "don't
get in a stew until you are sure you
have 'something to worry about" So
I took my own advice; finished my
shopping, went home — and there
on the table was my wallet. I had
taken it out that morning to snake
change for our egg Ivan! I quite
agree with what one person said
down town — "I don't mind spend-
ing money, hut I hate to lose itt'
