AM ADVANCE -TIMES SYN OPSI$ Reckrucf hfot,mrs trmre Rowena .to accompany Peter on a 'notion -wide tour in their readster 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 andhave 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 therm and return- ed to New York by train. They are faced with the impossible condition of continuing their trip without a chaperon. Rowena suggest,s to Peter that they male 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 nest 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 hotal clerk smiles when they register. They find Rackruff Motors have arranged a public reception and dance for them, They are deluged with pre- sents. They find Bobbie awaiting them in the hotel at Seattle and she travels with them to Los Angeles where they are met by an unfriendly hotel clerk,. who summons the police who the up- pon place all three under arrest for kidnapping Bobby. After adjusting their difficulties,• Peter accidentally opens a Letter from Rowena's kid brother demanding $50 to pay a gambling debt. He sends. the $50 out of his own money, along with a caustic letter. On reaching El Paso, Rowena hears from her brother. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Rowena was a little more touchy even than usual just at that time be- cause she was having some trouble with her own work, and the fact that Mr. Rack had not been entirely sat- i i� i4r.,itz� 41-01,4 ' eyntoon tvaxeth ours alas doth' wan hence how could we twain ride oppo site directions in one Rackruff? An on•" "It doesn't seem to mean much, objected Rowena. "It means plenty," said Peter firm ly, "It means :that our honeymoons aren't riding in the same sky if I can. help it, Carter'il understand." They were increasingly quiet as they neared New York and the end of . their adventure, Peter thought Rowena was troubled about the 'fu- ture because she often referred to things she might do and regretted that her work had fallen off. "If I had kept up as well as I started I could land a job on the strength of it," she said ruefully. "You can, anyhow. Your work as a whole, has been top-notch. You were good down to the last adjective. The trouble was that in the beginning you were so superlative you got them to expecting miracles, Never begin at the top," he advised her wisely. "It leaves no place to climb to, Any- how," he added slyly, "you must have saved up enough on your expense money to keep the children in bread and milk for a long time—what with doing your own laundry and living on soup and cheese." "Well—some," she admitted evas- ively. "Do you suppose we'll ever be real good friends, Rowena? And never quarrel again?" "I'm good friends now! I've been friends from the very first. I am really fond of you, Peter, but you're so darn mean the angels themselves couldn't get along with you." "That's odd. Every one has always remarked what a good disposition I have.—No credit to me," he added modestly. "I was born with it," "People are so dumb," sighed Ro- wena. "Do you think your judge will have any trouble getting the annulment?" "No." "How long will it take?" "I don't know." "When will he start?" "He's started now." ' "Started now! Why, what do you mean?" "1 wrote hire the day we were mar- ried and told him to go aheadwith the preliminaries so he could put it, through with a rush." Peter resented that. "I think it was needlessly insulting of you, Ro- wena! To spread the news like that the day we were married," "Married! Oh, tish, tosh, and even tush! That was no marriage." "No. But it was nasty of you just the same." "I'm sorry you feel that way about t, Peter," she said gently. "I did isfied with her last three stories had n of mean to be offensive, I assure "Do you suppose vre'1.1 eves he real good friends, Rowena?" done nothing to improve her dispo- sition. When—the picture done Peter's way, in spite of her—he turned the roadster east once more, Rowena re- tired sulkily to the rumble seat. In Richmond they received a long telegram from Bobby Lowell. It was "Prepaid," As Rowena said °after- ward, "Wd should have known from that they were married."' As indeed they were, "Darlings," exclaimed the telegram extravagantly, "We did get married and my gown was lovely. Carter was going to sue the railroad but the con- ductor took him off and apologized so Carter gave him ten dollars in- stead. Can't we fly down and meet you some place and finish our honey- moons together—even if yours isn't real?„ Peter said he thought he had bet - answer that telegram and he wrote very fast indeed without one pause for thought, "Loire, kisses and condolences, I. n congratulations. As :your lion - 41. you. I really thought I was doing the stitch -in -time sort of thing." "Do you think you'll ever marry the judge?" "1 don't think I'Il marry anybody. I Irate men," What are you going to do when. we get home, Peter?" "Oh, work at something, 1 suppose, I don't know just what. Maybe I'll go to Paris." "You can't gountil we get that annulment. They will need you here to swear that "we—we didn't—that we never -that we never were really married, or anything."> • 'How Iortg will it take?" "Why? Are you in such a hurry for your freedom?" "No. I was just wondering," "What do you intend to do first, Rowena?" Peter asked. "Oh, I really don't know. Write tip those stories perhaps." "No plans for the far future?" "No. Maybe 1'1l. keep house for Ruddy when he gets through school. Maybe 111 get married." ried." "But you say you hate men!",. "So I do. That's' the only way to get even with them." From Pennsylvania Peter wanted to cut through as quickly as possible into New Jersey and home that way. He said it was shorter and he know the roads. Rowena, on . the other hand, wanted to go up through Penn- sylvania. She admitted it was a long- er route, but said she would try to endure a few more days of Peter's company for the sake of the scenery. Peter didn't argue with her. He just turned off and went over the Water Gap into New Jersey. Then they realized indeed that they were near- ing home,. for New Jersey was their neighbor and Peter recognized every. road and landmark. The sign -posts began to give mileage to New York —seventy-five miles, sixty miles and then fifty. They had ktncheon at a lovely lit- tle wayside place near a cool blue lake and Peter said if . Rowena would excuse him a few minutes' he wanted to call up some people in New York. "Gosh, but you're in a rush to get in touch with everybody,” she pro- tested irritably. "I suppose you'd like to have me call up the judge and ask him to have the papers ready for us to sign tonight." Peter didn't say anything, but went on into the telephone booth. When he came back his face showed a lit- tle white under his summer's tan and his lips were grimly locked. "I suppose she had another date," said Rowena disagreeably. "And I'm glad of it Peter had nothing to say, but when they had reached the next town he said he hoped Rowena wouldn't mind waiting as he# had a little shopping to do. "Shopping!" she ejaculated. "Shop- ping within forty miles of home? What do you want? Is it anything I can lend you?" "Oh, no, nothing like that," said Peter vaguely. "Just some odds and ends—little souvenirs -;presents, you know—nothing much." "You would go through Yellow- stone and the Rocky Mountains and buy your souvenirs in New Jersey," she remarked coldly., When he came back his arms pret- ty well filled with stoutly tied bun- dles, Rowena and Constantine were under the umbrella in the rumble seat. "For heaven's sake—" he began impatiently. "It's a Sort of sentiment with me," she said. "I would never feel that we had a grandstand finish unless we breezed into Times Square in our regular travelling order. You can put your souvenirs in Bobby's place." Rowena slumped lower and lower in the rumble as he drove swiftly along the heavily shaded roads, She did not feel at all well. In 'a way, she almost believed she was sorry it was over. It had been fun—all ex- cept Peter. It would have been great --glorious--without Peter. Rowena certainly was not feeling well. Her heart was leaden within her. Two large tears forced themselyes under i her hot lids and through the silken lashes. Rowena closed her eyes and pretended she was asleep, "If Peter thinks I've got anything to •cry about, he's crazy," she said. stoutly. At a sudden lurch of the car she opened her eyes. Much to her sur- prise she saw they were far from the state highway, and following a nar- row dirt road through a thick piece of woods. She tapped on the win- dow. "Peter, you're off the road. This isn't the way to New York." "I know it. It's a short-cut." Rowena sighed. "d knew I should watch you," she said resignedly. Presently he turned off from the dirt road into a narrow wood lane,' no more than a cow -path it seemed. Rowena knew instantly it would nev-, er take them any place at all, She knocked on the window again. "Peter, you're lost. This road doesn't go anywhere!" The cow -path turned abruptly tip a sharp and jagged hill and ended abruptly at the foot of an immense boulder in the very: heart of the for- est. "It's a dead .end," said Rowena. "What did I tell you?" Peter got out of the car and went back, very slowly, to stand beside her, folding his arms rigidly on the rim of the rumble. She rtoticed im- mediately how very grim he looked, how his pleasant eyes had narrowed and his lips set, She stared deeply into his eyes,her lashes still wet with tears, and waited for• liimtt to speak, Thursday, .Sept., 10th, 1931 "Get out, Rowena," he said at last thickly, "This is our last stop." "Why, we can be in New York in two hours!" she protested faintly. "We've had our luncheon—there's nothing here to stop for!" "Get out," he repeated doggedly, "We're staying here' tonight." Rowena looked at him wondering- ly and put out her hand, slender and sunburned, pink palm upturned and fingers curling; Peter ignored the si- lent appeal of it. "Rowena," the said, his voice grown low and strange, "you've made a damned fool of me day after day the whole summer, You've made mnethe laughing -stock of reporters ,and ho- tel clerks and automobile. mechanics from coast to coast—not to mention the kick your friends in New York are getting out of my predicament. Well, it's my turn now. You may get an annulment, you may get a di- vorce, you may get anything you damn please, but you're my wife— you're married to ine—" "But—not really married—Peter "Well, you are going to be, and pretty damn quick,' he said decidedly. With a wave of his hand he indi- cated a little log cabin, deserted and still, that showed above the boulder in the thick of the forest. "We're honeymooning here till Monday," Rowena blinked her Iashes very fast indeed. She 'fumbled around in the pocket of the rumble until she found rouge, powder and lip -stick and painstakingly repaired the ravages of travel. After that she looked at Pet- er and laughed. "You -you're good-natured about it," he said. Of course," she declared gaily. "This is an accident. Accidents nev- er make me mad." "Well, save up as much good hu- mor as you can," he told'her, "You'rd going to need a lot of it between now and Monday." Rowena looked about her. , The lit- tle cabin was tucked, away snugly in a huge cleft of great rocks and about it on every side towered broad - branched trees, beginning to show gold and 'blood -red with the touch of autumn. Somewhere near a noisy brook clattered down -hill." over the stones. And there was no sight of other habitation or wandering woods- men in all the length and breadth of the forest. It belongs to a friend of mine," said Peter, "That's what I phoned about—to say we were tired' and would appreciate the .use of the cabin for few days?" "Are—are we to be quite alone here?" she inquired casually. "Quite alone." "It—it will make it—difficult— about the annulment." 'That," said Peter haughtily, "is up to your friend the judge," Rowena put her hand on his arm, "Peter," she said gently, "don't do anything rash. .l'ou'd bettee th-think it over. (Concluded Next Week.) Marketing Board Active` In a recent address onthe work of the Ontario Marketing Board, Mr., W, B. Sommerville, Chairman, told of extensive plans' for advertising, the preparation for markets and facilities to ship Ontario fruits and vegetables.. "The airn of the Marketing Board," he declared, "is to take Ontario far- mers out of their position of helpless- ness in marketing 'their products." New efficiency had been injected in the task of overseas exportation and as a result apple exports would be doubled this year. Ontario cabbage for the first time was being sent to the Western markets, Ontario peach- es will find a large market in the West, Mr. Somerville anticipates the time when every, farmer will be re- ceiving constant advice through the Marketing Board on where and how to market his products. The Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, has now a number of sets of lantern slides 'which may be se- cured by agricultural and horticultur- al organizations, schools, women's in- stitutes churches, etc. without rental charge. 'The subjects illustrated are: Home Beautification, New Varieties of Cereals, Selection of Live Stock, Poultry Husbandry, and Field Hus- bandry. These .slides are proving very popular wherever ' used and splendid attendances are reported. • Cleanup Time With harvesting and threshing fin- ished, it is not tooearly to start pre- paration for the winter. If the stable is not given its annual cleanup now, it ;may be neglected altogether. The minimum attention should include sweeping the ceilings and walls, scraping the floors and mangers and then thoroughly white -washing every- thing in sight. Lime is a great cleans- ing agent, and at its best when ap- plied. witha spraying machine. The panes that have been broken from the windows should be replaced;. the broken latch, the detached hinge and broken floor should be looked after.

The exhibit consists of three sec- tions, which are unified under the ti- tle Farm Wealth. The first illustrates the fact thaf much of the food used by the farmer's family is obtained' directly from the farm, and even hard times cannot affect this supply. It:' also calls attention to the fact that the College has produced and has giv- en to the farmers of the Province many high producing varieties of crops which added greatly to farm.' wealth. The second section with the title 'Time is Wealth' sets forth the idea that though money may be scare, the/ farmer still has as much time asever, and shows how time may be utilized to the best advantage by the use of labour-saving devices. The third section under the title `Beauty is Wealth' presents the •factl,l; that, while farm folks may envy some of the good things ofcity life, they may, by a little effort and with al- most no expenditure of cash, have beautiful home surrouridings that would be the envy of city people.
