COMie'Hr roar 1V Thr AUThoa SYNOPSIS Rackruff Motors hire Rowena to accompany Peter on a nation-wide tour in their roadster • as an advertis- ing stunt. At the last minute Little Bobby is engaged to act as chaper- on. They are waiting for Bobby to show up to make the start. A few miles out Bobby becomes tearful at being parted from her sweetheart, Rowena insists on tak- ing her place in the rumble so that she can ride with Peter and have him to talk to about Carter. Rowena gets Peter to consent to divide the ex- pense money each week as soon as it arrives, and astonishes Peter by eating too economically. The three tourists reach St. Louis, after passing through Buffalo and Chicago. Peter and Rowena have many tiffs, while 'Bobby is enraptur- ed at the way Carter is fuming over her flight from New York. The morning after they reached Denver, Peter and Rowena discover Bobby has deserted them and return- ed to New York by train. They are faced with the impossible condition of continuing their trip without a chaperon. Rowena suggests to Peter that they make a "companionate" marriage. They are married and go to Chey- enne, where their actions, when they ask for rooms on separate floors, arouses the suspicions of the hotel clerk. • They finally succeed in get- ting rooms, but not without exciting the laughter of the hotel loungers. They resume the trip the next day and are overwhelmed by a cloudburst in an arroyo and are thrown out of the car. A party of tourist campers give them dry clothes and food. Spokane is finally reached and the hotel `clerk smiles when they register. They find Rackruff Motors have arranged a public reception and dance for them. They are deluged with pre- sents. ed Rowena when they were agai alone in the bridal suite—alone, b with the door noticeably ajar. `Don you adore being a husband? Aren you glad we got u]arrried? Why, I had known it was such fun I'd bay been married dozens of times befor this." Peter waited in the lobby down stairs while she .dressed for the bi affair of the day, and.%vhen she w ready he took possession of the bed room and bath while she sat in th flower -filled sitting -room— the doo into the corridor wide open, you ma be sure—and wrote a long'gay tette to Buddy, enclosing the money order At seven o'clock Mr. Meeker calle to escort them down in person. H brought a huge' corsage of orchid and orange blossoms for Rowena an a gardenia for Peter's buttonhole. "Guess we better let her stick it n a display of domestic devotion that ut was thoroughly convincing, At .two 't o'clock, when' it was over they went, 't laughing, up -stairs to the bridal suite, if and while he changed quickly from e formal to street dress, she lounged e in full display in the sitting -room be- fore the chaperonage of an open door. n- When he went into say good night g he sat down on the arm of her big as chair and cuddled her bright head, - roughly, in his arm. "Why putme out, Rowena?" he' began in a wheedlesone voice. "Af Y ter all, we are married. And I fancy we're going to have the devil's own d time convincing any sane judge that e there wasnothing to it but the cere- s mony." d "My judge will believe it." "If he does," said . Peter moodily, "he's going to think what a dam fool . I am,—Anyhow, it's been a nice night and there's more of it. We've had a lot of fun and a little more wouldn't do us any harm," he argued persuas ively, She laughed good-naturedly. "I've had all the fun I can stand for one night. Run along, darling, and be sure to get a receipt that will con- found the skeptics," When Peter had gone she sat on the edge of the bed and thought it all over, In a way, she decided, it was rather an awful thing they had done. But it had been so tremendous- ly important for both of theta—the. trip had the pictures and the stories. And the money—the money most of all! But it was too bad this sort of thing had to happen—and to a sweet thing like Peter who really rather de- served a better break -he was so old- fashioned at heart: Rowena :stood up and yawned and got into bed. She would do her level best to insure that annulment, in core - in for you," said Mr. Meeker. "Seem like it gives more of a bridal touch to things:' Rowena rose to the occasion. She kissed the gardenia prettily and then flicked it coquetishly on Peter's chin before she tucked it carefully into the lapel of his coat—all this to thebeam- ing delight of Mr. Meeker and the confusion of Peter. Flushing with rosy pride, Mr. Meeker led them down to the recep- tion -room and introduced them once more to all the Rackruff dealers and their wives, and then to the gentle- men of the press and editors and publishers among there, too, as well as mere reporters. The orchestra struck up the wedding march and Peter and Rowena, flanked by Mr. Meeker on one side and the head waiter on the other, led the proces- sion into the ballroom for dinner. The seats designed for them were raised above the others in a royal mound of white roses. This, Mr. Meeker explained in a loud whisper, epresented the solitaire diamond of n engagement ring, which was typi- ied by the rest of the tables rang- ng the full extent of the hall in a reat circle. Never had Rowena been so beauti- ful. Her eyes—the blue of a summer sky—sparkled with pleased excite- ment. Her lovely lips quivered sens- itively. Under the table she felt about with the toe of a silver slipper until she found Peter's foot to press when she wished to call his attention r a NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY f g When Peter went out for a look 1 around townI w she hurried away with her share of the wedding presents in search of a pawn -shop, where she left them securely locked away from dan- ger of theft or loss, and stopped for an express money order on her .way home. She drifted lazily in Peter's arras. There wasn't enough money for the suit but she bought a new, frilly col- lar and cuff set to brighten up the old one which she extravagantly sent down to the hotel cleaners for press- ing. She had a small electric iron and a folding board" in her big suit- case, but she felt some hesitancy in resorting to such an economy with Peter in the sitting -room, The reception was a huge success, The best people in their best clothes were properly impressed. Peter and Rona in a mound of flowers in the Rackruff roadster were photographed for the local papers, interviewed by representatives "of the press, and con- gratulated on every hand. Peter was given a pearl -studded cigarette light- er, which worked successfully, and Rowena a wrist -watch with the same design in chip diamonds. She accept- ed it with a glowing •smile and #finer cause they had: evidently planned it as' an afterthought and he hadn't, heard of it. Mr, Meeker told her confidentially' that the only reason he had not told her about the wrist watch was be - they had evidently planned it as an afterthought and he hadn't'heard of it. When the reception was over they were driven triumphantly back to the hotel " in a procession of Rackruff roadsters, so that a considerable crowd gathered in the streets to cheer then] on. "Peter,demand. don't you love it?" to anything particularly priceless that caught her eye or ear. Peter started and stared at her. Everyone else did, too, if it comes to that, but - no one of all those present' was so amazed and se bewildered by her beauty as Peter himself, Over and aver again he had to remind him- self that this radiant, exquisite creat- ure, the cynosure of all eyes whose sheer beauty fairly took away one's breath, was the very same crisp and curt Rowena who kept such a stub- born finger on the steering wheel of their trip., When dinner was over and he danc- ed with her for the first time he was startled and stirred to discover that she was a feather in .his arms; that her gleaming hair was fragrant as flowers; her skin velvet to his touch --and that she seemed to melt into the music like music itself, "Rowena," he whispered, It's great isn't it? --Really, it's just corking! "It's gorgeous, Peter, it's glorious! And, oh, darling, think how they're going to feel in a couple of months when they read in the paper about the annulment and know it was all a farce! Won't they go down --plops —like a flat tire?" "I suppose so," he assented soberly. "Looking akrt g' at it that way, it seemsrather a low trick to play on them. They mean so well," ""Bert it was Rackruff got us into it it isn't ecu' fault," she protested. They danced through the ball with mon fairness to Peter. Certainly it was for her to make sure of it. He was too careless, too sensitive to pub- lic opinion. He might get that receipt for his night's residence and he might not. She would make sure. She lifted the receiver of her telephone and ask- ed them to send up the housekeeper. When she came in, an efficient, large, Scotch woman, Rowena looked a little limp and wan. "I don't feel so very well," she said childishly, "I wonder if you could get me something liot to drink? I don't want to be sick." The housekeeper was surprised, It was three o'clock in the morning arid the bridal suite, well lighted, showed itself guiltless of groom. But hotel housekeepers are schooled to sur- prises. She brought Rowena some hot strong tea with a Little rum in it and gave her an aspjei.n tablet. "If you don't feel better pretty soon have your husband call me — vh-when he cordes in," she said, Rowena's smile was a little forced. '1 will," she promised. At five o'clock she asked for her gain, "1 fell worse," she said. But she id not want a doctor. "I'm just crvous," she explained. "Would- would it be asking too much—for you test to sit with me a few minutes? 'm sure it's only •excitement after he ball, The housekeeper sat down beside he bed. Rowena looked very young,. ery flushed, altogether adorable in er soft night things, In the 'dim ight'the housekeeper could not see ow old they were, and worn. The ousekeeper had her own opinion bout hien anyhow, and her face grew' simmer and grimmer. The night ousekeeper in a big hotel sees much, When Rowena seemed to have rapped off tosleep, she leaned over er eommiseratingly. "Poor child," he muttered, "a pretty young thing ke that.—Him out all night and hem just married l ---Thank God, I ound men out in time!„ Rowena smiled ' comfortably to her - elf when the housekeeper had turned ut the light and tip -toed softly from ]e room, She had a witness to the rrginal privacy of her night in the nidal' suite, Rowena was;about half through reakfast the next . morning when eter' came in, He. sat down opposite he • and the waitress almost ran' up get the order; But Peter said he ad already breakfasted, would take ly coffee, very hot, please. "She's entirely too good for him, e brute," said the waitress to the stry cools, "She never said a word; t 'Good rorning,'',Dicln't even ask m where he'd beet all night," P et�Cr was a little self-consciousout it all and to the'critical Maidss constraint seemed that of a guilty nscienec. g t Rowena was sweetly title, even friendly,' a d n t v h l h h a g h d h s li t 1 0 tl vi b b P h to h on tit Pa bu hi ab his Co go only wish the hotel had given them,a pearl necklace instead of that cocktail shaker," said Mr, Meeker re- gretfully, "She'd get to wear the pearl' necklace if he didn't pawn it, and it's plain to see who'll use the cocktail shaker, Peter had,the receipt for his night's lodging and Rowena' folded it away triumphantly in the pocket ° of her portfolio, along wide the other proofs of their complete segregation en route. She was full of enthusiasm, entire- ly satisfied with their future pros- pects, as she was packing her bag before the witness of an open door. "It's a great little burg," she said warmly. "When T amu a thorough old maid I shall buy me a dog or some- thing and come and live here. `. It's just the sort. of town I like, And if I an] rich and famous T will rent the bridal suite by the year and you can. give me an autographed picture of the Rackruff to adorn my walls. And I'll invite Mr, Meeker to tea every Sunday and we'll discuss our past glories and remember -when." "It's pretty plain what they think of me in these parts," said Peter re- gretfully. "It seems a dirty trick to play them—they were so kind about everything. "One good thing about it," encour- aged Rowena, "11 for any reason my judge should hit a snag in getting us annulled, we won't need any other grounds after last night We'll call on the hotel force for affidavits." "What a cad they must think rue!" "Don't ' you care, darling, Next time we come here, you shall have t1u bridal suite and their sympathy and I'll step out for the night," (Continued next week.) Hints For Homebodies Writtent for The Advance -Times By Jessie Allen Brown Co -Operation in Holidays Years ago, it was only the occa- sional person who took summer holi- days. Now, it is the general rule, and a very sensible thing it is. Very often, mother and children have their holidays together. They may have a lovely time, but any holiday which includes the children is not an ab- solute holiday for •a mother. Even if she has not much physical care of them, she still has the responsibility of then], and that is a mental" strain,; albiet it is often an unconscious one. Every mother should have a holi- day away from the children, if it is only for three or four days. The un- t fortunate part is that it is usually a difficult thing to arrange. Some are f lucky enough to have a sister or a c cousin, or an aunt, or maybe a lovely 1 grandmother. There are not as many u of these available as there used to be, because women who have no fam- ilies are apt to have work to do. a Sometimes, the difficulty is a fin I andel one, as to have both holidays s and help proves too much of a ;strain. c Even where there is no financial dif- p fieulty it is hard to get a suitable per- e son to come in and runthe house and the family. The affair may be man- aged by co-operation, Most women Thursday, August lath, 1931 have a friend who has children ohm the age of her own, Why not say, "I will ]hind your children for, a few days, and you mind ;mine, then we will each have a holiday" it has been done very successfully, and it might 'work out well in your• case, too. Try it and see, Warts The wart;is' an ailment of youth and is eesually not a.. popular one, al- though the small boy sometimes ex- hibits there with pride, Leave thein alone, and they will go away, eventu- ally, No one knows why they conte nor why they go. Their going can be • hurried by using acid. This has best be done by a doctor. There are all sorts of superstitions about talc,- ing away warts. If there are many warts on the body,' it is the sign of some fault of nutrition, and it would be advisable to consult a doctor. Small children who are undernourished, frequently have a great many warts. Anaemic girls sometimes have their entire chest covered with warts. If there is a succession of warts it is well to look into the diet as there is apt 1.0 be a deficiency of some sort, Do Not Keep Baby's Milk in Thermos Bottles It is just last month that I wrot about this, but I am going to repea it, as I find it is frequently done. 0n ;mother was planning to heat the rnilk for her baby's early morning feeding and keep it all night in the thermos bottle, so it would be convenient. No mother would do it, if she realized that it was the very best temperature for souring the milk. The poor baby cannot tell the mother, so she must think for herself, This particular mother put hot wa- ter in the thermos bottle at night and when the baby wakened in the morn- ing gave it a bottle of warm water, which satisfied it until it was time for it to be fed. She might have solved the problem• in another manner, by filling the thermos bottle with boiling water and heating the baby's bottle by standing it in this hot water. Nev- er keep warm milk for a baby in a thermos bottle. If you want to car- ry an extra feeding or so with you* it 4 teaspoons baking powder 2 tablesoons sugar j teaspoon salt 1 egg 1 cup milk 3 tablespoons: melted shortening Sift together the dry; ingredients,. Add blueberries and mix ;well. Add: the well beaten egg, milk and melted fat,' stirring quickly and just long en-, ough to moisten. Avoid over -stirring.. Quickly fill greased muffin tins two-. thirds full, Bake for 5 minutes at 400f, degrees. Tomato Shrimp Salad Cut tomatoes almost in quarters,: but do not separate. Fill the cavity with a salad made of shrimps, eel• and cucumber cubes, moistened W salad dressing, e t Agriculture Still Leads e The gauge of the value of an in- dustry from the standpoint of nation-. al economy is its nn,t production. On• this basis, according to the Canada. Year Book, 1930, agriculture leads Canadian industries with 88.1 per- cent.; manufactures`come second, pro- viding 33.1 per cent, of the total value of net production; while the remaind ek'' er is .divided between seven industrials groups comprising, forestry, fisheries, trapping, mining, electric power, con- struction, custom and repair. Agri- culture despite hard times is easily .holding its own and it is interesting to observe that the latest available figures show Canada's' population al- most evenly divided between urban and rural areas. Transfer Completed Under the terms of an Order irk Council appearing in the Canada Gaz- ette, for July 18, 1981, formal 'trans- fer .of the Forestry Nursery Station at Indian Head, Sask., from the De- partment of the Interior_ to the De- partment of Agriculture is made. The transfer affects not only the physical property of the plant but a staff of seven • people at Indian Head and two at Sutherland as well. on a trip, the thermos is an excellent way of keeping it, as if it is thorough- ly chilled before putting in the ther- mos, it will keep satisfactorily, and may be heated when needed. A Picnic. Idea If you are the fortunate possessor of a trunk for your car, this may ap- peal to you. Some people I know use theirs for motor trips and picnics to good advantage. ,„,They put a wash boiler in the trunk and then put in a 50 pound piece of ice. This gives hem an unlimited scope for their pic- nic foods icnic'foods as they can keep anything resh and cool. Think of the ice old drinks, the crisp salads, the love - y fruits, the meats, either cooked' or ncooked that might be taken along. Have you ever tried packing small fruits such as peaches, pears, plumbs, pricots and so on in egg cartons. t keep's them beautifully as they are eparate and do not get bruised or rushed, The cartons L' mean are the asteboard ones which hold a dozen ggs, Graham Blueberry Muffins 1 cup white flour cups r'raham flour Community singing will be heard: atthe 1931 Canadian National' Exhibi- tion Grandstand performance. HE:xr..: HUSBAND TEASED HER But not for long! "I started taking truschen Salts ' for biliousness, andfor the last two,,! years I have been perfectly free from an attack, Now I continue to take them, as I find they keep me in perfect. health. My husband used to joke about me taking Krusciren Salts ; now he takes them himself, so do my children. My sincere thanks.” —Mrs. G. P. When your gastric or digestive ,iuices;,�. $• refuse to flow, your food, instead off,. becoming absorbed into your system,; simply collects and ferments inside you, producing harmful acids and gases which give rise to biliousness,. heartburn and flatulence: Ts:ruseben is a combination of six:' mineral salts, which goes right to the. root of the trouble. It first stimulates the flow of gastric and corer juices to aid digestion, and then enquires complete, regular and unfailing elirnina- tion of waste matter every day. And that means a blessed end to )ni;'su'ness, and a reneived and ssi dL-hc,rrted enjoyment of your food without the slightest fear of having to pity rtre old painful' penalty. Record Time Across Twp.
