KELLOGG'S ALL BRAN muffins 1 . They're delicious,

CHAPTER :FIVE
Without outward emetiolt,
Paula received the •news of the
broken bethrotlial from 1 arrison,•
Smithy's assistant, Smithy 1tilta '
self never spoke of it. The 'office'
routine went on, outwardly une
disturbed.
One morning though Paula read
a letter in high excitement. There
was ani opening in Pa hainent arta',"
Charles Rainier had been elected
for the seat, provided he, should;
consent to stand in the Liberal In
terest. It would be a hard fight
but a worthwhile one.
Strange though, he was no. in

house. This was amazing. Shel-

Without hesitation Paula took
the next train. At thew Sydney
Hotel she learned that there wan
a Charles Rainier registered.
Smithy opened the door of his
scute himself. His voice was a bit
constrained.
"I'm sorry, Miss Ransom, 1 -
should have let you know where,
svas."
She smiled impersonally, `I •
hate to bother you but something
important came up." •
He seemed to be only half •li -
tening' as she told him about the
seat in Parliament. When she
had finished 'he didn't conime.n
Then he turned to her haggardly,
"Miss Ransom, you know of y
experience here in Liverpool many
years ago. I've told
cyou all ut
it. Yesterday,
to try to trace my way throu •la
to the past --- to what I'm eons
vinced was the most vital part o f

it wasn't .any use. I've 'tramped

hotels. There's no clue no hint
of anything aroused itself in prey

For a moment she had been
alive with hope. Now she said
dully, "Pin terribly sorry. 11
must have been a great disap-
pointment."

on. "Just send a wire to the Lib.

accept. Also, there's an express

• It was a sunny day in early
October when Charles Rainier
won his victory, the Liberal seat
in Parliament. Scores of friends
came to him there on the terrace,
of the House of Commons to
congratulate hint. But somehow,
Charles was impatient of them.
He was waiting for his moment
alone with Miss Ranson.
Finally, she appeared and they
went of together for luncheon.
The restaurant was quiet. They
would be undisturbed. Briefly and
quickly he came to the point.
"Miss hansom," he said, "I
have a proposal to make. I need
your help in my Parliamentary
life. Now you may think that
this is outrageous but after all
you and I are both ghost -ridden.
You were married before. You
seem not to have forgotten it.
And I -- well, you know. We're
prisoners of our past." He leaned
across the table. "But what if
we were to pool our interest?
Give each other support? Friend-
ship?"

more difficult than he had an-
ticipated. She was a lovely crea-
ture, . full of the life that glinted

They had given e brilliant ball
one evening. It had lasted quite
late. With the departure of every-
one they ascended the stairs to
their apartments. Smithy lingered
in her sitting room.
"You know," )le . said softly,
"it's nearly morning, the morning
of May 25th. Does that mean
anything to you?"
Her eyes lighted. "Yes, it's the
Anniversary of our wedding—our
third anniversary."
He nodded and reached into his
pocket. Then he opened a case,
revealing a magnificent diamond
and emerald necklace. "The
square diamond," he told her, "is
supposed to have belonged to the
Empress Marie Louise,'
"Charles!" She was breathless.
"It's too beautiful. No, really you
spoil me. •She fingered the great
pendant stone. "Will you put it
on for me?"
He hesitated. Then his :fingers
just lightly trailed her shin as he
clasped it together. She was
trembling. Maybe now in this mo-
ment he would take her in his
arms, unloose the floodgates of
his heart.
Ile stood away. "Do ygu know
you're a very beautiful woman?"
The moment was gone. She didn't
reply. "Margaret," he asked, ;'are
you happy?"
"Why do you ask?"
"I don't know. I wondered.
Often, I've seen a look in your
eyes as if you were thinking of
someone." He added gently,
-"Isn't there something morbid in
burying one's heart with the
dead?"

TABLE TALKS
SADIE S. CHAMBERS
In these days, with telt of
meat rationing and the desire of
everyone to reduce budgets, it is
difficult to plan a variety of meat •
dishes. Ilemeinber some of these
dishes, easier on• the budget, are
also very rich in nourishment,
Nothing .can .'be - more appetizing
than fragrant beefsteak -kidney
pie er a plate of liver and onions.
Another suggestion is beef liver
with a savoury dressing.
Calves liver may he more ten-
der but not any ,nore nourishing
than beef or pork liver. Liver is
a veritable "builder upper," tre-
mend.otlsly rich in iron and other
minerals. so important in the up-
keep erf our health; vitamins too
in abnn;lance and the protein so
important for growth and • repair.

There was a tinge of bitterness
in her reply. "That's a strange
thing for you to say. She went
on with suppressed. intensity.

you may find her. But doesn't it

"Charles, it might even be inc."
He drew back.
It. was as if they had desecrated

test:.

gan talking rapidly. "Charles, I'd
like a change. I'd like to travel,
to Buenos Aires, to Rio. It's been
a strain, I suppose. I'm just a

er than I thought to be the wife
of Charles Rainier."
He was looking at her in vague
'uneasiness. "Yon are overtired I
think. Shall we talk about it in
the morning?"
"In- the morning," she said
tonelessly, "Yes, Charles. Good-
night." The door closed behind

blue beads that Smithy had given
her so long ago. Her voice. was a
despairing whisper: "Smithy,

(Has Paula given up all hope
of ever recapturing the real
Smithy? Or is there some miracle
that will give hint back to her?

Spaciousness

Where space ,
it is ttdvisablo to follow a strictly
informal layout in landscaping the
average home. The central portion
of the grounds should be clear of
beds and shrubbery and devoted
entirely to grass. Around the
edges will be grouped beds of
perennial and annual flowers,
leading up to shrubs and vines
along the walls or fence boundar-
ies. This open centre adds to the
effect of specioiisuesS and if the
rigid boundaries aro softened and
partially hidden, so much the
better and intriguing.
Where the grounds are larger,
