CHAPTER 1
Margaret Horton was angry and
disgusted. She grasped her golf
stick firmly in both hands, and
with neither preliminaries nor
thought of direction swung it
against the little white ball lying on
the grafi. Peggy's mind, however,
was not on golf. Her brows were
furrowed, her body tense; her whole
manner that of haste and excite-
ment rather than deliberate con-
centration.
There was a sharp sound as the
ball struck and a sudden grinding
of brakes.
"What a day!" she murmured as
she ran forward to see what dis-
aster she had caused. She saw a
low swung roadster standing in the
road. A man was standing with
leis back to her, staring at the wind-
shield. Peggy spoke in a shaking
voice.
"I'm awfully. sorry. I hope no
one's hurt."
The man turned on her angrily,
but lost some of his belligerency
at the sight of an antagonist so un-
deniably pretty. He smiled, and
Peggy decided he looked rather
mice when he smiled.
"No, no one's hurt," he answer-
ed. "I'm alone, and the non-shat-
terable glass did its stuff. It looks
funny, though, doesn't it?"

Quickly, if awkwardly, Peggy
climbed the old cedar fence. She
. had difficulty finding a footing
through the clinging tendrils of
honeysuckle that covered it. But
at last she was up, and the boy,
for he was scarcely more than
that, helped her down. There were
leaves on the gray tweed of her
skirt, and a splinter from the rail
fence had broken a stitch in her
green wool sweater. The brown
braids of her hair, coiled about her
head, were somewhat awry; but
her brown eyes thanked him, and
the uptilt of her little nose asked
questions as she followed him to
the car. Silently they examined
the maze of lines upon the surface
of the glass.
The boy broke the silence. "That
was some wallop you gave that
ball. What were you doing? Prac-
ticing for the golf tournament at
Lockton? I'm on my way there
now."
Peggy shook her head. "No, I
wasn't practicing for anything. I
was trying to work off my temper."
"Do you hit things, too, when
you're mad?" he asked, growing
friendlier in the discovery of a
common trait. "I always do. It used
to be my nurse—sometimes my
own head—then other boys, and
now the first thing that comes.
handy."
Peggy smiled. "I don't believe
I'm quite that bad. But when
you've made a fool of yourself
"you've got to do something. So I
took my driver and a pocket full
of balls and just began banging
them around."
"You don't look as if you'd
ever make a fool of yourself," the
young man told her, eyeing her
appraisingly. "Now I do—often.
That's one reason I'm on my way
to Lockton. To forget I was a
fool. The cause of my being a fool
was a girl. I suppose yours was a
man?" he asked.
Peggy hesitated before answer-
ing. "Yes, and no. There's no use
talking about it. I got myself in a
mess, and that's all there is to it,
But I hate being made a fool of!"
she finished, bursting into angry
tears. "Don't pay any attention to
me. I'll be all right in a minute."
"Sit down here on the running
board and cry all you like. The
girl I was engaged to was always
crying when she got mad, which
was pretty often, so I'ni used to
tears. While you weep I'll intro-
duce myself so you won't feel that
you're crying with a stranger. I'ni

ing her too much attention, and like

was pretty swell. She got sore

With a final sniffle Peggy wiped
her eyes and her nose, and smiled
at him. "Don't," she pleaded. "I'm
all through. I do feel better al-
though I'ni frightfully ashamed of
myself."
"Forget it," Harry advised. "But

about the girl who tried to kill me
before she even saw me."

SOLDIER'S H9IMECOMING
One of the incidents that makes a war a tragedy compounded of
innumerable tiny personal dramas is caught by the camera in the
photo above. It shows Lt. Nonet-Raisin of the Fighting French,
being greeted by his wife as he returned home for the first time
a since leaving in 1943 to join French forces in Africa. He is with
an armoured division of French troops, now fighting in their home-
land for the first time since France's fall.
Peggy hesitated. She did not like
talking about herself to strangers,
but this boy had been so nice about
the damage she had done to his
car, and so tactful, she felt, about
her outburst of tears. Anyway,
there was a feeling of companion-
ship, sitting here in the stillness
of the country morning, gazing
across the road into, the meadow
as they talked. It induced a mood
for the exchange of confidences.
The Jersey cattle grazing in the
green field raised their heads to
stare at then in evident surprise.
The bell on the lead cbw made
little silvery noises as she stood
in the shade of one of the large
oak trees, wisely chewing her cud,
and waiting. The odor of honey-
suckle mingled with that of the
red Cherokee roses blooming along
the roadside.
"There isn't much to tell about
me," Peggy said. "My name is
Margaret Horton. I live with my
grandmother in that house you can
see through the trees." Harry ruse
from the running board and turned
around, looked as she directed, at
the old-fashioned Colonial house
on a slight rise about two hun-
dred yards from the road.
"I thought that must . be the
country club," he said, resuming
his seat. "It looks like a swell
place for a party. Won't you in-
vite me sometime?"
"If you can, send me your fam-
ily history for several generations
I'll invite you to my debut this
fall."
"Debut? I didn't know girls had
those any more."
"But I live with Gran," said
Peggy. "Don't misunderstand me.
She is the sweetest person in the
world. But she still thinks that
nice girls shouldn't go piaces un-
chaperoned. They shouldn't go at
all, in fact, until they have made
their debuts. The list for that party
for this fall is now in the making,
and I assure you all of the best
families in several counties will be
represented. But I won't know any
of them. I've never been to the
country club. I've never been out
with a boy except when I was in
boarding school and spent week-
ends with other girls."
Harry stared at her in amaze-
ment. "Honest?" he queried.

Samuel Mourns For Saul
"And Jehovah said unto Samuel,
How long wilt thou mourn for
Saul, seeing I have rejected him
from being king over Israel? Fill
thy horn with oil and go: I will
send the to Jesse the Bethlehemite,
for I have provided me a king
among his sons." Samuel is now
told that he must put aside his
grief for Saul and to go forth to
anoint him who is divinely chosen
to be Israel's new king.
"And Samuel said, How can I
go? If Saul hear it, he will kill me.
And Jehovah said, "Take a heifer
with thee, and say, I am come to
sacrifice to Jehovah." Samuel's
fear of Saul reveals that he knew
only too well that in spite of Saul's
confession of sin there was no

ilf CHRONICLES By
Gwendoline P. Clarke
of GINGER FARM • • ;
On a farm every season has its
sounds. One could almost tell the
time of year just by listening. In
spring there is the hum of trac-
tors, followed by that character
istic squeaking of discs and drills.
In summer we hear mowers,
wagon -wheels and hayloaders.
And in late summer and early fall
the chug -chug -chug of the thresh-
ing machines. It is a welcome
sound even though it adds to one's
difficulties for a while. It is a
sound that indicates the end of
weeks and weeks of work and
worry and foreshadows granaries
well filled with feed for cattle and
poultry for yet another year.
* * *
But as I said threshing has its
problems, particularly with the
present labour shortage. Farm
Commandos have done wonderful
work according to all accounts
but it would hardly be reasonable
to expect a city man to help at a
threshing. It is bad enough for
those who are used to it. And yet
if the farmer goes himself—as he
often has to these days—then the
work at hone is at a standstill
even though there -nay still be
grain waiting to be cut. This hap-
pens more frequently now than it
used to because many threshings
are so much earlier than formerly.
Early maturing spring grain makes
this possible. But all farmers do
not favour early grain, thus it
sometimes happens that when
Farmer Brown is ready to stook -
thresh his early oats, Farmer
Green is starting out to cut late
oats. ,Starting out, yes, but that is
often as far as he gets, Once a
threshing machine moves into a
district there is no telling when it
will move out — and harmer
Green's oats stand waiting, be-
come over -ripe, and if a storm
happens to come along the chances
are the field is left as flat as a
cowpath.
* 0 *
We have been lucky in that re-
spect. Partner has had to stop
for only one half-days's threshing.
But there are other farmers who
have been less fortunate. Some
times I wonder why farmers living
within a limited area don't get to-
gether and thresh out their pro
blems as well as their crops. It
should be possible for farmers in
any district to agree on some sort
of system whereby no over -ripe
grain would be left standing while
another man's crop was being
threshed out. Far be it from me
to tell the men what to do but I
often think that farmers as a class
are inclined to take the attitude
—"Each man for himself and the
de'il take the hindmost." (It is
more than likely Partner will tell
me I am sticking my neck out to
express such an opinion. Maybe so,
but after all the onlooker sees more
of the game than the players.) And
I feel, too, that if farm women had
work which necessitated changing
hands they would make a better
job of it than the men, I don't
know much about it but I have an
idea that the old fashioned "bees"
of by -gone days were pretty well'
organised, and arranged to suit
everyone's convenience,
Co-operation was really some-
thing in those days.
change of heart and Saul would
even kill the Prophet of the Lord
to serve his own ends.
Samuel Learns God's Will
"And call Jesse to the sacrifice,
and I will show thee what thou
shalt do: and thou shalt anoint
unto me him whom I name unto
.thee." Samuel was to learn God's
will and see whom of Jesse's sons
was to be the Lord's anointed. God
often reveals his will to us grad-
ually.
"And Samuel did that which
Jehovah spike, and came to Beth-
lehem . . . and he sanctified Jesse
and his sons, and called them to
the sacrifice," Samuel assured the
elders that the object of his visit
was entirely peaceable, It was a
religious service he was come to
perform and for this sacrifice the
elders of Bethelehem, also Jesse
and his sons, were called upon to
sanctify themselves by washing
their bodies and their garments as
was the custom before the bless-
ing of the sacrifice.
David Is Anointed
"And Samuel said unto Jesse,
Are here Ball thy children? ... and
Jehovah said, Arise, anoint hint;
for this is he," When there is
beauty within the soul it is re-
flected in the countenance, and
with such God is well pleased. Be-
fore Samuel stands God's choice,
David the shepherd boy, a youth
beautiful without and within, and
Samuel is instructed to anoint him.
"Then Samuel took the horn of
oil, and anointed hint in the midst
of his brethren: and the spirit
of Jehovah came mightily upon
David from that day forward. So
Samuel rose up, and went to Ram -
ah." The external rite of anoint-
ing was here accompanied by an
inner experience of the Holy Spirit
who now cane upon David for the
first time.
