She was engaged to handsome young architect LANCE BARSTOW, hero. Lance had great dreams for the fu- ture. So aid CYNTHIA CANTRELL, orphaned granddaughter of great-aunt Mary Cantrell. Still another dreamer was BARNEY McKNIGHT, newspaper- man. But Barney was mars than a dreamer. Yesterday: Lance breaks the bad news to Janet but she remem- bers something she knows Lance doesn't even guess. Later, she is to recall this with bitter amuse- ment. CHAPTER IV Janet watched three dead leaves flutter down to the ground at her feet before she spoke again. "Well," she said at last, almost gayly from her secret knowledge that all this didn't really matter, "at least we can still eat." "Eat? But, Jan,. you don't un- derstand. I had budgeted every- thing on the. basis of the salary I have been getting—the payments on the house, running expenses, insurance, service, entertainment and still wanted very much to hear it ... But that was nonsense, of course. "I have same money, Lance," she went on. "It isn't a lot; but • the income must be enough to make the payments on the house until—until times are better. If you'll let me, I'd love to." When he did not answer at once, she hurried on, "After all, it is our house, isn't it?" She hardly knew just when un- derstanding carne to her, or why, Perhaps it was because of the very aptness of his objections, because' he said so perfectly all the right things, as if—almost as if he had written the scene and had rehears- ed himself for it When he final- ly allowed himself to be persuad- ed, Janet found her victory strangely hollow ... Yet he, could not possibly have known that she had the money . . . Not that it nattered, of course. It could never really . have made any dif- ference between them. Man In A Black Cape Lance did not take her home. Janet sent him off confident and happy, to attend to the last -min - 71 "Weil, surely we might manage for awhile without entertainment —and you can skip the item for service . . . Or do you imagine I'm too .dumb to learn to cook? Why, Lance, it would be play in that lamb of a kitchen!" "Let my wife scrub and stand over a hot stove?' I couldn't that, Jan—your lovely His lips .on ber finger, tipe were angry. "Besides, what would peo- ple think?" "I didn't know you intended me for a museum piece," Janet said, and was sorry when she saw the misery in his eyes. "If it only weren't for the pay- ments on the house, we could live as—well, suitably—on whit thestill be earning . . If only house were paid for, Jan!" I'll tell him now, Janet thought. She must word it carefully in or- der not to wound that hot pride of his. A Puzzling Stillness The excitement of anticipating his surprise made her words stum- ble a little. "Lance," she began, "there's something I've never told you. If you'll let me, I can help." "I—don't understand;" he said after the briefest of intervals. He did not turn toward her. Indeed, he did not move at all. Yet in his very stillness she sens- ed something that puzzled her. It was — why, it was almost like anticipation—as if already he knew what she was about to say, DELICIOUS,. REFRESHING dive cents every time 1 want bo bey • peanuts for the squirrels?" "Every one? Oh, I shouldn't say that. But as a rising young journalist, it's part of my• job to keep abreast of the tunes, I know, for instance, why the Vasco gang had to liquidate Patsy Skidmore; what pressure was brought to bear to make the Republicans scratch John Smizzart the night before el- ection; who's giving Washington the real dope about the latest ;in- ternational tangle — and incid- entally what stocks are on the skids in Wall Street today." "I thought you were a sports re- porter." "A mere stepping stone, my dear girl, from which I hope to vault over the bodies of fallen champions to higher and ,better' things. All human beings, front • baseball umpires to dictators, function by simple combinations of the. same set ,of motives.

"Oh, well, you never can tell:. when a war's going to ,break out, or a Washington correspondent's; going to, drop dead and give•• an earnest young man . a break. No- thing like being prepared." "And who," Janet asked, "ever accused you of being an earnest young man?"

Lance had planned the dinner for the week before the ceremony be- cause, he said, "I'm not going to have any hang -overs chasing pink elephants down the aisle in the middle of my wedding." A drizzling rain overtook Janet on her way up the trail, and drive en by a chilling wind, increased to a downpour before she reached the avenue. She stood shivering on the curb, looking about for a taxi, when a black coupe whizzed by, stopped so suddenly that the wheels slid on the wet asphalt, and backed to- ward her. "I warned you this wasn't good hying weather," Barney McKnight called out as he opened the door. "Better climb in before your wings begin to take ice," "it isn't my wings," Janet laughed, displaying feet drenched to the ankles. "it's my landing gear." She climbed gratefully into the warmth of the car. "Swell brogues to be wearing in the wood," Barney said, cast- ing a withering glance aAher e those brown suede pumps. the only shoes you have?

"'Van heard me." "You've been grossly misled, my lad. Anyhow, it isn't in bonds— it's mostly A and S stock." Reporters Know Things Barney checked his speed sud- denly. h" Janet "What's the excitement asked. "(]h, nothing," he said after a brief pause. "Skip it!" He drove briskly on. "Listen, :Barney," Janet began. as they skirted the park and turn- ed into ]slim Street. "Does every .one know that I ----well, that I do not have to risk Aunt Mary fox question. I suppose that being on the point of becoming Mrs. 'Lance Barstow would give one high ideas, but—" "Barney, don't be a complete fool." "Thanks for the reminder," he said with a short laugh. "Now that you mention it, I really should keep that in mind from time to time .. Well, here you are." He drew up before the door of the Breckenridge, "Now run in and soak your feet in hot mustard water like a good girl . . By the way"—he hesi- tated as he opened the door for her—"you did say it was A- and stock you have, didn't you?" "Yes . Why?" "Oh,- just thinking of taking 'a.

(To Be Continued) Royal TourFilm' 80,000 Feet Long Will Be Cut Down to 8,000 to 10,000 Feet For Exxhibiiticn PnrpoorS The staff of the Dominion Gov- ernment Motion Picture .Bureau at Ottawa face the task of 'selecting and editing an official film record of the Royal visit from the 80,.000 feet of motion picture film groul►d out by I?. C. Badgley, bureau di- rector, and his camera crews as they accompanied the Ding and Queen across the country and back. Film coverage at each stop vias as complete as possible. Director Badgley also had crews ina1cing color movies of Their Majesties. It is not yet deeided what steps will be taken to exhibit the oli'icle' film record •across Canada, but the' final product will probably run be- tween 8,000 acid 10,000 foot in length, about the length of a fen - cure firm. Autumn Shades Are Announced with this occasionally. No sticky fingers and "soiled handiwork, then. Talcum powder if useful, too, if your hands get very hot, 2. A nail file is excellent for tucking under a very small seam in delicate material. 3. • Sewing on buttons? They'll stay on twice as long if you rub • your thread over a piece of bees- wax before sewing. A little piece of •chamois leather stitched on the re- verse side of the material, behind a button, will stop any tendency to tear the cloth when the button is pulled in use. 4. Keep a magnet in -your basket. So bandy for finding pins and needles when they go astray. Pre- vents that tiresome groping on the floor, too. 5. Don't consider tacking a waste of time,. Tack every little portion of your work: it saves time in the long run. Press seams as you com- plete them, before continuing with the next section. 6. If you have any very fine ma• terial to sew, such as chiffon, nin- on, fine crepe -de -Chine, etc., try sewing through white tissue -paper, placed at. the back of the material. This will give a firm backing to the cloth,' and can easily be removed -atter the sewing is completed.

Household Pests: Their Control Ants, Cockroaches, Moths, Houseflies Are Near the Top of the List of Home En- emies—Different Treatment For Each Among the enquiries for inform- ation on household insects receiv- ed by the Division of Entomology, of the Science Service, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, probably the most numerous relate to such common pests as ants, cockroaches, et silverfish, clothes moths, beetles, house flies, and bedbugs. Ants, cockroaches and silverfish can be controlled by the same in- secticides: namely, by a mixture of equal parts of sodium fluoride and pyrethrum powder, or by the first - named insecticide alone. The pow- der, which is a poison and should be used with caution on •that ac- count, may be applied with a small dust gun .or insecticide puffer, blowing it into the cracks and crew .ices where the insects occur and in other places which they fre• gent. The prevention of damage by clothes moths and carnet beetles is less simple and requires special care and forethought. For further information on the life -history and control of these in- sects, including houseflies and bed- bugs, write to the Publicity and Extension. Division.

Latest advantage offered to wo- men patients of Ontario's mental hospitals is a "beauty parlor" scheme to improve them by reliev- ing abnormal worry and helping them to assert their individuality. Dr. T. A. Sweet, of Whitby Hos- pital described the experiment last week to members of the Ontario Neuro -Psychiatric Association at their annual convention. Cooking, millinery classes, music and danc- ing are included in ;the revised daily program for the women, Dr. Sweet said, "And speaking of dancing. we've managed to introduce the Lambeth walk with great success," the doc- tor added. Dr. S. R. Montgomery of St. Thomas told the assembly doctors should make a point of dancing with their female patients. "It is au opportunity to get to know the patient better and is useful medi- cal treatment," Dr. Montgomery said.
