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,.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
While these are small things their ne-
glect for a year or two makes a slip-
shod stable and 'this is the mark' of
the careless dairyman.

The exhibit consists of three sec-

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

most no expenditure of cash, have

"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.

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.
While these are small things their ne-
glect for a year or two makes a slip-
shod stable and 'this is the mark' of
the careless dairyman.

The exhibit consists of three sec-

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
