At the close of his famous chal- lenge: "We shall fight on at the beaches and in the streets," the Prune Minister turned and mur- mured something to the Cabinet members. It was this: "I clo not know what we shall do it with— choppers, T Suppose." Choppers were the instruments wardens carried to help them break into burning buildings, LOUIS ARTHUR CUNNINGHAM CHAPTER IX "You are mistaken," scid ]tdcri- de1, but here Mee voice sounded strange to her and there was a feel- ing in her breast as if icy fingers had closed around' her heart, "It was some other one you saw—some Nazi who looked like—like Michel." They shook their heads' in unison. "There was the same small' scar , on this one's chin," said Pol Mar- tin rallying to his sister's aid, cling- ing to her hand and thinking of ' Bonhomme Fricot s crumpled body in the dimness of the hut and the grin one the German soldier's face as he left the lonely cabin. "It showed blue on the side of his chin." "No more of this!" Rudolph spoke with unwonted authority. "You have no right, no right what- ever, you ungratefu children, to cause pain to Madame Laurin, who has been so good, so kind, so gen- erous to you.". "They are oung, Uncle Rudi," Meridel came quickly to their de- fense, "They ilia not know what they were doing, Madame Laurin, I ant sure, will forgive them. And h is to you, after all, that they' owe their .gratitude." "To mel' For a moment, caeglit off guard, Rudolph almost be- trayed himself, "Oh, I see what you mean. But please take them away now, Merideel. They have done enough mischief for today." * * * When they had gone he bent over the od lady, who seemed to see nothing of what went on about her. "Madame!" he said earnestly. "Madame! Is there not something 1 can do? Let me take them away from here. They have caused you this mortal pain. It is folly, some childish nonsense! They play frontes of pretending so much and so long that they think the people in them are real. I am sure there never was such a one as Bonhont- me Fricot—" Madame shook her head. "I pray God you are right, Rudloph. 1'd like to think that it is what you say—some of their make-believe. But I ant afraid—" "But I knew Monsieur Michel and he—" "You know the way he used to talk, Rudolph—wild things he'd say and wilder things he'd do. He had three years at Heidelberg. And he was so quick to identify himself with anything revoluntionary. But, my God, I cannot think that he— why, his father and two of his un- cles died in the battle of the Som- me and Roger wears the cross his king gave hint for bravery, No-• no—" "Please madame. I tell you it is some child's mistake. It is noth- ing." "I shall try to think so, Rudolph, The other thing would drive ire mad Why, he was as dear to me as my own—r could never think this of hint, never." * * * Yet there was the gnawing doubt. And in Meridel's eyes, as she picked up the shattered picture of Michel Fabre was the same hurt, terrified look that she had seen in madame's, \•Vhat a horrible thing was this! If there were truth in It, what ghastly truth! No, no, a man did not turn against his own blood. Why, he would be facing his own brother, seeking to des- troy him. The face of Michel was little marred, Meridel took the broken glass away and put 'the picture back in its place. "It is not so, madame," said Meridel at length. "You must not for a moment believe this wild story." "Do you believe it? You knew him for only a little while; I knew hint for years, yet I feel that in the short time you were with hien you learned much. And do you believe it?" "I won't let myself believe it. I should have to see it with my own eyes, I should have to hear It from his own lips." And you would believe it then, Meridel?" Woman looked at woman, the young one at the very old, and they understood each other. "Perhaps," said Meridel. _* • Pol Martin and Racine were standing with Merid.' 'and Miss Carrick and some of the other children in front of the house one afternoon when a long cream - colored convertible sedan drove up and disgorged a huge beefy man in a checkered jacket and tan slacks, a lady in gorgeous mink and a diamond choker. "Well, bless my soul, Martha!"' The big man's voice seemed to shake the walls of I'Itllibert. "Look what Mini ]las here, now—a kin- dergarten, by gad! Trust her to do the proper thing. How d'you do? How d'you do?" He bowed right and left to the curious children, and beamed on Meridel and Miss Carrick, "I'm Guy Winterside and this Is my wife, Martha Stahl. \'ire used to be on the stage with Ma- dame Fabre - Lusignan. Where is Mimi? We carte to surprise her. Olt, here's someone we know! Here's Rudolph, the butler—good old Rudolph!" Meridel was close tr him, but had she been a block away she could still have heard hint. Slowly her cheek grew white; her hands were clenched at her side. "Ilas he been butler here a long time, Mr, Winterside?" she asked softly. The big man grinned :town at her' "Bless you, my dear, of course he has—years and years and years. He's as much a fixture at ?Wilbert as the statues in the park. How d'yoti do, Rudolph? We popped 1n for a brief visit. On our way to Quebec. How is madame? I'll bet she'll he surprised." Rudolph's face was impassive; only Meridel could see the tnrntult, the sickness, behind the smooth, menial masque. He bowed to the Wintersides, "It is good to see you again, sir, Anci you, madame. Let me take you upstairs. ?,Madame Fabre-Lusignan will I>e so pleased to sec you." He conducted them into the house. Meridel and the quiet Miss Carrick stared after their depart- ing backs, Pol Martin and Rosine came close to Meridel. They did not quite understand what had bap - petted, but they could tell from Meridel's face, the fixed look in her eyes, the way her nostrils flared that everything was far from well, And Uncle Rudi had been like a different person and the big non had flung his coat to Uncle Rudi so carelessly and Uncle Rudi had carried it on his arm. "What is it, Meridel?" Pol Mar - Ott tugged at ber hand, (To Be Continued) TINY PATIENT IN HER GLASS HOUSE Two fractured legs and a ,premature birth is enough to discourage any new baby.

We have been living on expectation for ages but last Thursday realisation began. Yes, hydrr power 'was really turned on at last. It• was about two o'clock that day when one of the linesmen came along and said, "Are your lights all r'ght?" "Are they?' I answered stupidly, and then added hopefully—but in- credulotly- ."D0 you mean the power is on "Sure=and I can see lights on upstairs so 1 guess they're all right" Ali right"—what a mild way to put it. And yet after all it was a very conclusive description; I am not sure one could find anything better, We turned on switches here, plugged in there, wandered from room to room trying out the lights, switched on the pole lights, and turned an the ones at the barn, and filially we agreed that, just as t] e linesman said, everything "was all right". Ent that wasn't the only excite- ment. Two days later our hard- ware man phoned to say my washing machine had arrived. That was almost too good to be true. And yet there was really no doubt about the matter. In due time the machine arrived hone and l'nt telling you it is like something out of fairyland . , , a magic whirligig that makes drudgery vanish into space; takes -kinks out of backs and makes any wash "the whitest wash" —irrespective of any particular - brand of :soap bars or soap chips. * * * Un the same day that the wash- ing •machine came to brighten our lives, there also arrived a letter from my brother in England, with news that son Bob had !leen to visit him- and- his -randy. That was a wonderful piece of news Bectu ee we knew then that Bob was one step nearer home though we had .not yet heard from hint to that effect. And for the holiday weekend six Visitors arrived—four adults, one - little girl and a baby five months old, It is a long time since diapers flapped in .the breeze .from our clothes' line!
