CHAPTER 1
Margaret Horton was angry and
disgusted. She grasped her golf
stick firmly in both hands, and
with neither preliminaries nor
thought of direction swung it
against the little white ball lying on
the grass. Peggy's mind, however,
was hot on golf. Her brows were
furrowed, her body tense; her whole
manner that of haste and excite-
ment rather than deliberate con-
centration.
There was a sharp sound as the
'ballstruck and a sudden grinding
of brakes.
"What a day l" she murmured as
she ran forward to see what dis-
aster she had caused. She saw a
low swung roadster standing in the
road. A man was standing with
Lis back to her, staring at the wind-
shield. Peggy spoke in a shaking
voice.
"I'm awfully sorry. 1 hope no
one's hurt."
The man turned on her angrily,
but lost some of his belligerency
at the sight of an antagonist so un-
deniably pretty. He smiled, and
Peggy decided he looked rather
nice when he smiled.
"No, no one's hurt," he answer-
ed. "I'm alone, and the non -shat
tenable glass did its stuff. It looks
funny, though, doesn't it?"

Quickly, if awkwardly, Peggy
climbed the old cedar fenee.. She
had difficulty finding a footing
through the clinging tendrils of
honeysuckle that covered it. But
at last she was up, and the boy,
for he was scarcely more than
that, helped her down. There were
leaves on the gray tweed -of her
skirt, and a splinter from the rail
fence had broken a stitch in her
green wool sweater. The brown
braids of her hair, coiled about her
head, were somewhat awry; but
her brown eyes thanked him, and
the uptilt of her little nose asked
questions as she followed hint to
the car. Silently they examined
the maze of lines upon the surface
of the glass.
The boy broke the silence. "That
was some wallop you gave that
balk What were you doing? Prac-
ticing for the golf tournament at
Lockton? I'm on my way there
now,"
Peggy shook her head. "No, I
wasn't practicing for anything. I
was trying to work off my temper."
"Do you hit things, too, when
you're mad?" he asked, growing
friendlier in the discovery of a
common trait. "I always do. It used
to be my nurse—sometimes my
own head—then other boys, and
now the first thing that comes
handy."
Peggy smiled. "I don't believe
I'm quite that bad. But when
you've made a fool of yourself
you've got to do something. So 1
took my driver and a pocket full
of balls and just began banging
them 'around." •
"You don't look as if you'd
ever make a fool of yourself," the
young man told her, eyeing her
appraisingly. "Now I do—often.
That's one reason I'm on my way
to Lockton. To forget I was a
fool, The cause of my being a fool
was a girl. I suppose yours was a
man?" he asked.
Peggy hesitated before answer-
ing. "Yes, and no, There's no use ,
talking about it. I got myself in a
mess, and that's all there is to it.
But I hate being trade a fool of 1"
she finished, bursting into angry
tears. "Don't pay any attention to
me. 1'11 be all right in a minute."
"Sit down here on the running
board and cry all you like. The
girl I was engaged to was always
crying when she got mad, which
was pretty often, so I'nm used to
tears. While you weep I'll intro-
duce myself so you won't feel that
you're crying with a stranger. I'm

yesterday I was engaged to a girl

a darn' fool I intimated that there
was an out of town girl I thought

and gave me back my ring and

With a final sniffle Peggy wiped
her eyes and her nose, and smiled
at him, "Don't," she pleaded. "1'm

myself,"
"Forget it," Harry advised. "'But

SOLDIER'S HOMECOMING
One of *the incidents that makes a war a tragedy compounded of
innumerable tiny personaldramas is caught by the camera in the
photo above. It shows Lt. Nonet-Raisin of the Fighting French,
being greeted by his wife as he returned home for the first time
since, leaving in 1943 to join French forces in Africa. He Is wish
an armoured division of French troops, now fighting in their home-
land for the first time since France's fall.
Peggy hesitated. She did not like
talking about herself to strangers,
but this boy had been so nice about
the damage she had done to his
car, and so tactful, she felt, about
her outburst of tears. Anyway,
there was a feeling of companion-
ship, sitting here in the stillness
of the country morning, gazing
across the road into the meadow
as they talked. It induced a mood
for the exchange of confidences.
The' Jersey cattle grazing in the
green field raised their heads to
stare at them in evident surprise.
The bell on the lead cow made
little silvery noises as she stood
in the shade of one of the large
oak trees, wisely chewing her cud,
and waiting. The odor of honey-
suckle mingled with that of the
red Cherokee roses blooming along
the roadside.
"There isn't much to tell about
me," Peggy said. "My name is
Margaret Horton. I live with my
grandmother in that house you can '
see through the trees." Harry rose
from the running board and turned
around, looked as she directed, at
the old-fashioned Colonial house
on a slight rise about two hun-
• dred yards from the road,
"I thought that must be the
country club," he said, resuming
his seat. "It loots like a swell
place for a party. 'Won't you in-
vite me sometime?"
"If you can, send me your fam-
ily history for several generations
I'll invite you to my debut this
fall."
"Debut? 1 didn't know girls had
those any more."
"But I live with Gran," said
Peggy. "Don't misunderstand me.
She is the sweetest person in the
world. But she still thinks that
nice girls shouldn't go places un-
chaperoned. They shouldn't go at
all, in fact, until they have, made
their debuts. The list for that party
for this fall is now in the making,
and I assure you all of the best
families in several counties will be
represented. But I won't know any
of them. I've never been to the
country club. I've never been out.

Harry stared at her in amaze-
ment. "Honest?" he. queried.

IIof GINGER FARM wry* C
CHRONICLES Gwendoline By P. Clarke 11
Ona farm every season has its
sounds. One could almost tell the
time of year just by 'listening. In
spring there is the hum of trac-
tors, followed` by that character
istic squeaking of discs and drills.
In summer We hear mowers,
wagon -wheels and hayloaders.
And in late summer:and early fall
the chug -chug -chug of the thresh-
ing machines. It is a welcome -
sound even though it adds to one's
difficulties for a while. It is a
sound that indicates the end of
weeks and weeks of work and
worry and foreshadows granaries
well filled with feedforcattle and
poultry for yet another year.
• * •
But as 1 said threshing has its
problems, particularly with the
present labour shortage. Farm
Commandos have done wonderful
work according to all accounts
but it would hardly be reasonable
to expect a city man to help 'at a
threshing. It is bad enough for
those who are used to it. And yet
if the farmer goes himself—as he
often has to these days—then the
work at home is at a standstill
even though . there may still be
grain waiting to be cut. This hap-
pens more frequently now than it
used to because many thresliings
are so much earlier than formerly.
Early nmattiring spring grain, makes
this possible. But all farmers do
not favour early grain,- thus it
sometimes happens that when
Farmer Brown is ready to stook -
thresh his early oats, Farmer
Green is starting out to cut late
oats. ,Starting out, yes, but that is -
often as far as he gets. Once a
- i
threshing machine moves into a
district there is no telling when it
will move out and Harmer
Greens oats stand waiting, be-
come over -ripe, and if a ` storm
happens to come along the chances
are the field is left as flat as a
towpath. -
We have been lucky in that re-
spect. Partner has had to stop
for only .one -half-days's threshing.
But there are other farmers who
have been less fortunate, Some
times I wonder why farmers living
within a limited area don't get to-
gether and thresh out their pro'
blems as well as their crops. It
should be possible for farmers in
any district to agree on some sort
of system whereby no over -ripe
grain would be left standing while
another. man's crop was being
threshed out. Far be it front me
to tell the men what to do but I
often think that farmers as a class
are inclined to take the attitude
—"Each man for himself and the
de'il take the hindmost" (It is
more than likely Partner will tell
me I am sticking: my neck out to
express such an opinion. Maybe so,
but after all the onlooker sees more
of the game than the players.) And
I feel, too, that if farm women had
work which necessitated changing
hands they would make a better
job of it than the men. I 'don't
know much about it but I have an
idea that the old fashioned "bees"
of by -gone days were pretty well
organised, and arranged to suit
everyone's convenience.
Co-operation was really some-
thing in those days.
change of heart and Saul would
even kill the Prophet of the Lord
to -serve his own ends.
Samuel Learns God's Will
"And call Jesse to the sacrifice,
and I will show thee what -thou
shalt do: and thou shalt anoint
unto me him whom .1 name unto
thee. Samuel was to learn God's
will and sce whom of Jesse's sons
was to be the Lord's anointed. God
often reveals his will to us grad-
ually. -
"_And Samuel did that which
Jehovah spike, and came to Beth-
lehem .-anti he sanctified Jesse
and his sons, and called them to
the sacrifice." Samuel assured the
elders that the object of his visit
was entirely peaceable. It was a
religious service he was cone to
perform and for this sacrifice the
elders of Bethelehem, also Jesse
and his sons, were called upon to
sanctify, themselves by washing
their bodies and their garments as
was the custom before the bless-
ing of the sacrifice.
David' Is Anointed
"And Samuel said unto Jesse,
Are here all thy children? . and
Jehovah said, Arise, anoint him;
for this is he." When ' there is
beauty within the soul it is re-
flected in, the countenance, and
with such God is well pleased. Be-
fore Samuel stands God's choice,
David the shepherd boy, a youth
beautiful without and within,, and
Samuel is instructed to anoint hint.
"Then Samuel took the horn of
oil, and anointed him in the midst
of his :brethren: and the spirit
of Jehovah cane mightily upon
David from that day forward. So
Samuel rose up, and went to Ram -
alt,"' The .external rite of anoint-
ing was here accompanied by an
inner experience of the Holy Spirit
who now came upon David for the.
first time.
