Write: THE ALPINE, Ste. Marguerite Station, P. Q. TIO SERIAL STORY SPECIAL 1NVESTIG BY BLANCHE ROBERTS CHAPTER I Judith pressed the cocky little hat over her red curls and reached for her purse. It was 12 o'clock and she was in a hurry to be off, but as she turned to leave the office, the buzzer on her desk rang. Reluctantly she flipped the button with a perfectly manicured finger. "Yes, Mr. 'Watson?" "I want to see you at once, Miss Kingsly," said the president of the Watson Airplane Corp. His voice was crisp and urgent. "Yes, sir," she replied, her tone lacking its usual enthusiasm.. She could have removed her hat and put down her purse but she did not. It was her lunch hour and he might as well know she expected to eat. She picked up her note pad and pencil and start ed for his office. When she en- tered the spacious room, Watson looked up, a deep frown between his eyes. "Sit down, Miss Kingsly," he instructed, and motioned her to the chair on the other side of the flat-topped mahogany desk. She hesitated, thinking if she sat down the interview might be too long. He smiled, relaxing his soberness for the moment. "I know—it's 12 o'clock and you have a date for lunch." "Not a date, Mr. Watson," she answered smilingly and dropped her slim and graceful figure to the chair, "but I am disgustingly ' hungry for a girl who has to watch her diet and count her calories." He chuckled. "1 won't keep you long and you doe.allehey.e no; nee for' that," lie. in formed, indicating the note pad. He. leaned back in his chair and studied her intently with his dark eyes., "How would you like a trip • to California ?" Judith straightened her shoal eters and looked at him question- inglp "I think there is a leak in this TOR organization somewhere and to put my fears at rest, I am sending you to San Diego. I want a check- up on the office force out at the factory. Do you want to go?" Judith's eyes sparkled and she Leaned forward eagerly. "Of course, I want to go." Her voice was swift with decision. h * .s "It might prove to be a dan- gerous assignment," Watson in- formed her gravely. "You under- stand that? There is time to back out and it isn't compulsory, you know. It won't mean your job if you do not wish to go." "But'I want to go, and I love danger and excitement," she tont him, and there was a brightness to her tone that gave truth to her statement. "I know." He smiled with un- derstanding, "That is why I thought of you immediately. You have never seemed to be afraid of anything or anybody." There was admiration in his eyes. Judith was valuable to the company and he knew it. "You're cool-headed. and not easily excited when you get in a tight spot. And you have plenty of determination to see a thing through. I've had my eye on you for a long time, young lady." "Thank you for the iaicecom- pliments," Mr. Watson," Judith said, blushing. "But when do I start for California?" Eagerness trailed her words. "Pm terribly excited." "At exactly 3 o'clock," He glanced quickly at his watch. "You haven't too mueh time. You takep ? the ; plane far,•San. Diego, will and no :one here; i5'te `know : you' are going. Just walk out to lunch without •a word 'and don't come back. I'1 say you phoned in you were sick. A place will be re, served for you on the liner, and you can pick up the ticket at the field office."

It's a secret. So kaep yam' eyee open." "How ani. 1 to know who'has• the plans?" she asked. With her red hair peeking saueily from be- neath her hat Mlle looked more like a debutante than an investi- gator. "After all I don't want to protect the wrong man." "Tall, dark and handsome, I would say," smiled Watson. "Nice,. quiet sort of fe1loru. The name is Tom Burke." "Tom Burke!" echoed Judith, startled, and color rose, to her cheeks. She looked away quickly. Even if she had fussed with Tont and they had parted ways in an- ger, the mere mention of Ins name still had the power to send her heart racing. But that was no reason why she should let Watson. suspect anything existed between. them. Watson. nodded his head.. "1 thought:you would recognize the fellow. Seen you two together on occasions. What do you think of him ?" A deeper flush burned her cheeks and made her furious with embarrassment. She answered a bit curtly. • "Nice on the eyes but conceited and stubborn as a mule." "Well, . never mind." He smiled as if from some inner knowledge; and stood up. "Keep your eyes , open. I want to nick any sabotage in the bucl that might be develop- ing in this company. By the way, Burke is remaining on the coast as consulting engineer for the' plant." He let that bit .of infor- mation sink in, then reached for her hand and pressed it. `'I ani de- pending on you to carry through for the company." "Then I'll be on my way, Mr. Watson." Her red mouth curled in a mischievous grin. "T shall have a very good time and spend; the company's money freely." "You have a free hand on ex- penses. And happy landing." • • Judith fairly raced ,. from the building and did not stop to., eat , lunch. She hailed a taxi and rushed to her apartment to pack a hasty bag. As she walked -through the air- port gates, the loudspeaker an- nounced the approaching .depart-' ure depart- ure pl the westbound plane.

She did not have time -to look «:around at her fellow -travelers for a few. minutes. There was the task of adjusting the safety belt and Mak- ing herself' comfortable. But once in the ,air, she settled down and let her eager eyes rove the ship: in search of Tom Burke. Ina moment she saw him, up one. . seat and across the aisle. She studied what little cf his head she could see, wondering- if he would sense her presence. But he did not turn. A little sigh passed her lips. She knew in her heart that she still loved him, regardless of what had happened or been said. With an effort, she pulled her gaze from him and looked around at the others she could see. The man in front of her had his head turned to the side. His eyes seemed to be focused on Burke, but she could not be sure from where she sat. The man across the aisle from her was either very frightened or very interested. His stare was glued to the back of Tong's seat. She studied the man for a long time from veiled eyes. Just as she settled dawn to read a magazine, a sudden alarming thought came to her. "Those men are watching Tom. They must know he has the plans for the bomber."

Sailors Need. More Than Ditty. Bags Occasionally some one has said: "We work for the sailors no end; We have sent out ditty bags by the thousands!" A good thing to do, too. Those thousands of ditty bags and more can be used. They till one great need. What they eau- not do, is this: They cannot re- build even a makeshift home for sailors, to replace those bombed to the ground or in enemy hands. They cannot supply food and clothing to the wives and 'children of the thousands of merchant sailors who have lost their 'lives in this war. • They cannot supply the education for seamen's sous, which fits them for officers. They cannot place librarieson board merchant ships for the benefit of the student who has left school for the service and who must con- tinue his studies in his spare time. These are a few of the things which the much-needed and much . - appreciated ditty bags cannot do. It requires hard cash for these. The merchant sailors' contribu- tion to our cause can never be• estimated. He has earned the best we can give him either at present or in future time, And whatever may come to him, through govern- ments or otherwise, don't forget that the British Sailors' Society is the quiet force which set, and has kept, the machinery in mo- tion, which for one hundred and twenty-four years has lxorked to- ward that end. The Canadian office of the Bri- tish Sailors' Society is at 50 Al- berta Avenue, Toronto, where George M. Speedie, the Dominion. Secretary of the society*, resides. He will supply any additional in- formation one may require. Spot On The Rug?

When dry, sponge with clear, lukewarm water. Acid Stains: Vinegar, lemon, and other acids quickly affect colors. Sponge at once with am- monia solution (1 part ammonia to 4 parts water). This will some- times even restore changed col- ors. Milk will sometimes alkalize a fresh acid stain and neutralize ' the prospective harm. Unknown Spots: A mild soap scrubbing with lukewarm water, followed by an application of corn starch, is usually safe for any spots on a rug. However, if ,the slightest doubt about any of these remedies exists in your mind — don't hesitate to call your cleaner at once.

CHAMBERS A Chat On Desserts With the rationing of sugar, butter and the scarcity of whip- ping cream the problem of des.. serts becomes more difficult. Desserts are of two kinds, those just to "top off the meal," so to speak, and those planned from a calorie or vitamin standpoint to help balance the meal. In England a custom prevails which is one of great commors, sense. Raw fruit is a populate dessert and what is more healthful for all of us? Meals, well bale anted from the protein and carbo- hydrate standpoint, can very easily be finished with say raw apples — those lovely red apples, which especially at this season of the year make their . appearance with all the extra rosiness that apples ever had. There is the "Delicious" apple and many oth- ers, that are very appetizing and most healthful for adults and children. As a nation we have fallen into a bad habit of thinking most desserts should be sweet. This is also the season for the lovely California grapes. They, too, snake an. ideal ending to a heavy or well balanced meal. California also sends us dates and raisins, which of course are ex- pensive for those of us who must watch our budgets. Oranges are cheaper now and at the peak of their season and they lend varia- tion for most menus. The English custom of using crackers and cheese for dessert is well worth remembering. This will have to be guided by the rest of your menu and would be barred if your meal is already high in protein meats, beans, peas, etc. Many omit the dessert when using a substantial salad and this again is a very healthful thing to do for all. It does seem unfortunate that we have not a little extra sugar for our bountiful Canadian apple crop, but I am sure the govern.• ment is doing the very hest for us they can in this food problem. It is a gigantic task for them and after all we have an abundance of things to eat. If you are a family who does not insist on sugar in tea, coffee and cereals, then I can assure you with careful planning you will have enough sugar for a reasonable amount of desserts in the simple category. I mean by this a simple custard, maybe a junket, a little cocoa, or left over canned fruit in the bottom of your, custard cup: • As I said above one of the •••••••••••••••••.1.490.1.1M1119.11011•1*. , ....••,.-,-490.1..., .. -.1119,......---.... THROAT IS PREY T MANY AILMENTS difficulties I have is when I wish to use apples cooked insteed of raw, such as baked or apple Sauce, with the varieties they offer. Then I have to do some planning. It was a pity that our honer ,,was such a small crop for it adds a delicious flavor to the baked .tipple or apple sauce. The corn syrup we had learned to depend upon and like we find is another 'M'for- bidden fruit." It is reserved, for our babies who must be fed the proper food if our national health is to be preserved and, may I say improved upon, for let us alttake heed to the large percentage of men of military age who • have been ' rejected suffering from nutritional defects. In speaking of the California fruits I did intend to mention the wonderful prunes I saw in the stores the other day. Did you know in California they rarely cook the prunes. Try placing them in an earthenware dish and cover with water. Allow them to stand over night and then serve them without cooking. If they are good prunes I think y oil will agree they are delicious and re- quire no extra sugar. Figs, too, may be cooked with- out adding extra sugar and un- less one insists on sweetness, which after all is not necessary, they will be found quite palatable without the sugar addition. faies Cluuubers welcomes personal letters trona Interested readers, She Is pleased to receive... suggestion* on topics for her column, and to vn ready to Listen to your t:pet Peeves."

Royal Navy's most femel.,,._ ,, undersea prowlers, is back home after 'two and a half years. of hunting in which she was credited with sinking or damaging more than 20 axis ships and traveled more than 80,000 miles in- the Mediterranean, the Indian Ocean and Java Sea. After 12 months of activity in the Mediterranean the Truant went to the United States in .May, 1941, for refitting, and was back on her old hunting ground by October. She was en route to .Singapore when that base fell and Weth to Soerabaia, the Dutch East undies naval base, instead. The Truant operated with the Allies in the Southwest Pacific until .the Indies fell and from there transferred to Colombo and hunted in the Malacca Straits from March to September this year. Among her exploits were a sur- face attack on an enemy harbor because it was too shallow to enter submerged, getting stuck on the bottom while enemy destroy- ers steamed averhead, sinking two out of three ships in a Japanese convoy and running a gauntlet of • Japanese destroyers in her suc- cessful break from the East In- dies.
