C71NTHIA CANTRELL, orphaned

than a dreamer.
Last week: Barney McKnight

what Aunt Mary once said to him
about Janet's future.
CHAPTER XX
remember every word Aunt
Mary :aid." Barney put a big hand
over her tightI3,7 clasped fingers.
"She said, `Janet doesn't know her
own mind now, Barney. But if
anything should happen to me, I
think you will be the first one she
will turn to. If you can persuade
her to marry you then, don't vrait
--even if I should still be Iying in
state—out of a mistaken respect
fur convention. I don't worry
about Cynthia now. She's shown
more sense than I ever gave her
credit for. And if I know that
Janet is with you, 1 can s:retch out
in my grove and take a good nap'."

She must have known, Janet
thought, touched beyond words.
Something; must have told her.

what you .and have is something
..so much finer and saner and Less
complicated than the feeling peo-
ple seem to mean when they talk
srbout—love and marriage!'
"Now don't tell rete, Jan," Bar-
ney interrupted with a hash of
something like his old humorous
impatience, "that yoti ve been
kidding yourself with that old
tripe about platonic friendship.
There isn't any such thing."
"But I never thought—" Jane
began again.
"Well, begin thinking about it •

"All right, forget it," he said
"1 suppose, after all, thinking
doesn't do much good about things
like this. You either know or you
don't. Forget it, .Jan."
"PIease Never Leave Me"
Janet, Who had found in the
shelter of Barney's hrms the first
real comfort and rest she had
known for weeks, felt newly be-
reft and deserted. •
"Barney," she began, "why can't
we go on—just the way we al-
ways—"
But he had got abruptly to his
feet.
"I'll run along now, Jan," he
said. "You're too tired for this.
You get yourself some rest. Pll
have some supper sent in for you,
and cone back later to see if there
is anything I can do."
But Janet's hands. had found his
coat sleeves, and were clinging
with all her strength,
"Don't go, Barney," she cried
against his shoulder. "Please don't
leave me—ever again. It rests vie
just to have you here. 1 need you
so terribly, Barney."
He stood for a moment, looking
down at her; then he took her
quickly into his arms and kissed
her.
"I wonder," he said half to him-
self. "Well, that's something, any-
how."
Janet and Barney were married
the day after Aunt Mary's fun-
eral. •
The morning before the cere-
mony she went through an hour of
terrible misgivings, during which
she wondered whether or not, she
were bringing to the new vela.-
'
ela-' et' ]xad
to elf ct ... Except for
a great need' for his companionship
and a genuine affection for hint,
she had so little to offer. It seem-
ed to be all taking and no giving.
Did Barney really understand, af-
ter all, just how -she felt?
But when he came for her, he
was so completely the god com-
rade she knew so well that most
of her doubts vanished,
Married
They were married in Sylvia
Grant's home, with only one or
two old friends present. After-
wards, they would go to Aunt
Mary's apartment until -Cynthia
and Timothy Benton returned, and
she and Cynthia could arrange
about the disposal of Aunt Mary's
cherished possessions.
"A"fter that, I naturally can't
promise to support • you in the
splendor to which you've always
been accustomed," Barney said.
"But at least we'll eat from time
to time."
Miss Parsons, the society editor
of the News, ran an announce-
ment of the ceremony, with the
brief comment that it had• been
the bride's recently deceased aunt,
Mrs. Mary Cantrell, who had spe-
cially requested, when she knew
of her impending death, that the
wedding should not be delayed on
that account. This, the other pa-
pers eagerly reprinted as an item
of sentimental interest — using
Janet's photograph when it was
available. •
The Story Breaks
It was in turning over the pages
of the News that she happened to
glance. at the story of the most
recent financial disaster, A nati-
onally known oil company had
gone into a reeeivership. it meant
very little to her at the time, and
hardly engaged her attention, for
she was looking for Barney's secs
and article.
His first one had appeared the
r day before. Already the News
had received a flood of conament�-.
some cordial letters of appi•oba.
tion, some attacking the policy of
the paper in exposing the scandal
as "muck -raking," and some crank
notes—one an anonymous threat,
which the paper gleefully pub-
lished.
Barney laughed at Janet' con-
cern over that.
"When a reporter gets well
enough known so -that people be-
gin threatening him, he's made,
honey," he said. "It might even
be worth my while to pay some-
one to take a few pots at me."
Already the district attorney's
office had ordered an investigation
into the farts of the story; and
high police officials were angrily
calling the paper to demand what
the shooting was all about, and
why they hadn't been let in on this
before it was made public. As if,
Barney said, the police hadn't
known all the facts for months
without making a gesture towards
doing anything about them.
Janet, was deep in the page of
"Letters from Readers" that after-
noon, looking eagerly for further
comments on Barney's articles,
when a key turned in the lock of
the hall door, and someone came
in and down the hallway.
"Why, Barney, you're early!"
Janet called. "I hope you're not
playing hookey."
But it wasn't Barney. Cynthia,
paler than usual, came quietly in-
to the room.
She smiled her . twisted little
smile, took her hat a little wearily
from her head., and hung it on a
low table..
"Well, Jan," she said, "stere 1
ani again."
"Cynthia, darling!" Jan cried,
acid ran to throw her arms about
Ilea'' .cousin in a warm rush of
gladness.
Cynthia said, "Jan honey --you
,poor kid! Tell me everything,"
and . they .sat down together on
Aunr,; Mary's gold brocade Empire
sofa,
A Changed Cynthia
When Janet had told her every-
thing; Cynthia said brokenly, "1
should have been here . We
dict change our plans as soon as
we. got your message about the
accident; but it had followed us
for days. We were just Iucky in
making connections to• get here
.ehen this soon."
"I tried so hard to reach you,
'Cyn. It was you she wanted real-
ly. She always loved you best,"
Janet said, entirely without jeal-
oust' She'had always known that.
She was thinking, Cynthia has
cizanged.
She couldn't put her finger on
the exact difference, but it was
as unmistakable as Cynthia's ae-
tuzl, presence here. It showed in
the way she had come into the
room, in the tones of her voice.
It was not exactly that she seem-
ed older. If anything, Janet was
thinking, Cynthia was, for per-
haps the first time in her life, real-
ly beautiful—and art the same time
less aware of herself.
aomethinr had happened to her,
Janet thought.

Queen Leads
Style Parade
This Autumn
"Fashions As Usual" for Sea-
son; She Ordered Her. Own
Clothes
Queen Elizabeth has set a "'fash-
ions as usual" vogue for the fall.
The Queen ordered her autumn
outfit some time ago and has de-
cided not to cancel any of it al-
though elaborate gowns planned
for the state visit to Belgium are
being turned into sirn-'er models.
Colors have taken on military
names to go with tailored lines.
Among the new ones are Airway
Blue, Bulejacket Navy and Balloon
Grey. Green, flame and other very
bright colors are likely to prove
most popular in contrast to the
dark colors or uniforms. Black
dresses are trimmed with sequins
or shining jet embroidery and col-
orful ornaments.
Crinolines, Bustles Out
Crinolines and bustles are defin-
itely out, while dinner dresses
have long sleeves and high neck-
lines. Heels are lower. Women
these days have more walking to
(.o and stilt heels are hard on the
Peet.
Another significant silhouette of
this season is the tunic, this time
a wide -skirted matter, of black taf-
feta posed over a :fairly wide
black net skirt.

Handwriting Expert
i fell into a philosophical ex-

handwriting expert, says George
Ross, writing front New York. By.
the curve of their penmanship, She
insists, people give themselves
away and reveal their innermost
secrets.
Here is one of her dictums, bas-
ed upon the two of three R's which
she closely studies. The 'Rithmetic
is not within her ken, for she has
trouble even computing the accur-
acy of a luncheon check.
They Talk Around A Subject
"A woman's writing," she says,
"usually is small and compact —
and that indicates a secretive
mind. I know that men will neither
like dor believe this, but you will
notice that women talk more than
men and they can talk all around
a subject without telling anything
they don't want to reveal."
And she referred tree to all the
spy stories, where it is always the
man who "tells all" to a woman,
never the other way around. By a
pencil -stroke shall we men be van-
quished.
Plans New Hunt
For Miss Earhart
A new search for Amelia Ear -
hart is announced by Erie Hasner,
who left Honolulu last week in
the 55 -foot schooner Walkyrie.
Harmer said he would spend a
year in the South Seas searching
for Miss Earhart and Edward Noo-
nan, who were lost July 2, 1937,
while on a flight around the world.
Banner said he was convinced that
Miss Earhart still is alive, prob-
ably marooned on some island,

Consider Before
Donning Jewelry
Styles For Sports Girl, "Fluffy
Ruffles" And Older Woman
Some people can wear jewels
and some cannot, or if they do;
spoil the jewels and themselves by
choosing the wrong ones to,. wear
at the wrong time.
The simply dressed sports -loving.
girl ;should choose a string of quiet
beads, a fob watch or a leather fob,
or ribboned one; a plain gold or
silver bar brooch.
The woman who looks her best
in older more exclusive styles of
dressing should choose fairly
heavy jewelry. Twisted chains and
strings of beads, plaque -bracelets,
made of small plaques threaded to-
gether, or the more handsome real
stone necklaces and bracelets to
match if she is able.
The "little" woman who can pro-
perly carry off the "fluffy ruffles"
type of garments may wear sever -
a1 bracelets, p:ndants, glittering
necklaces, hair bands, clasps or
jeweled bows. She can, in fact,
wear becomingly many things not
permitted to her more serious sis-
ters.
Rings should be worn carefully.
One pretty ring (leaving out the
wedding ring, of course), will look
far better on most hands than a
dozen better ones whose make-up
and coloring make them war with
one another.
Dr. Bernardo's Boys
Are Enlisting Again
Since 1882, thousands of boys
of Dr. Bernardo's Homes have left
the Motherland for Canada and
other parts of the Empire. These
lads, who received their start in
life through the hones, have made --
good in the overseas dominions.
In the dark days of 1914-1913
no less than 6,211 Barnardo boys
enlisted in the Canadian Expedi-
tionary Force; 531 of them did not
return. "Canada in Flanders" re,
cords that one of these Barnardo
lads was recommended for the V,
C. before he died,
Once again they have heard the
call of the Motherland, and many
of them are enlisting to aid her in
this dark hour, just as they did in
1914.
The management of the Homes,
538 Jarvis Street, Toronto, are
particularly anxious to compile a
complete honor roll of those "who
have enlisted for the present war,
and shall he glad to have their
names and regimental addresses.
