SALADA STAMP CLUB - 461 King St- W., Toronto ® SERIAL STORY NO TIME TO MARRY COPYRIGHT. 1930, NEA SERVICE. INC. BY ELINORE COWAN STONE CHAPTER XXV Janet's heart sank lower and lower as she climbed one narrow stairway after another, and tramp- ed through dark, bare, echoing hallways and chilly, cubicle -like rooms. The walls, painted in dull browns or grays or hard blues, or' covered with monstrous paper, were marked by many trailing fin- gers; the plumbing was antiquat- ed and stained with much usage; and there was everywhere the stale smell of cooking, and once or twice, of mice. So far as the convenience of the locality went, she had spoken the truth. Within a block were signs marking a second-hand store, a cheap cafe, a filling station, a Chi- nese laundry, a foetane-telling booth, and a pawn shop ... Janet tried not to see that. "HI take another day to its" she told herself wearily at last. "They can't ' all be so unspeakable." When she got back to the little apartment which, a few weeks ago, she had thought might "do" for awhile, it looked like a cosy Paradise lost. She was enjoying a quiet sniffle on the davenport when steps sounded in the hallway outside. Good Lord! she thought. I can't let Barney find me bawling. Desperately she powdered her nose, listening meantime for the sound of a key being turned in the lock. instead, someone rapped smartly on the door panel. When Janet opened the door, she was not sure that. her swollen eyes were not deceiving her. But the slight, faintly crumpled figties standing on the threshold was un- questionably that of the old gen- tleman she had suet feeding the squirrels in the park. "Why, Mr. Justin, how nice to see,lyou!" Janet cried, wondering how he had found her. "Cozy place you have here, Mrs. McPnight," he said, looking about him. Then at her glance of sur- prise, he chuckled, "I told you I was a society -page fan. Read all about your wedding." "But how did you know where to find me?" "Ask me something harder. I was driving by and saw you come in; so I pursued you." Janet said, laughing as she had not laughed for days, "I love be- ing pursued; but you may be bor- ed. I'm the only squirrel here e just now./' "Oh, that's all right," he said delightedly, taking the chair she indicated. "We did have some nice visits, didn't we? There aren't a lot of people you can just talk comfortably to these clays By the way, I hear that slick young pan you used to be engag- ed to is building a house on those lots of his for a rich widow. Skin- ned het right out from under the nose of the firm he was• working for. I hope he doesn't skin her, too." "You don't miss much that goes on, do you?" Janet asked. "I try to keep an eye out. But there's one thing I've missed late- ly,') he said, suddenly serious. "That's the story your husband was writing for the News . .. . You're a good picker, young wo- man, when you really use yos1r head. I like young men with plenty of nerve—and brains . . . Do you remember my telling you that even I still have a yearning to gc out and snipe at dragons some= times " Canada's Royal Family Of Hotels Notice Of All Interest Payments Interest on all outstanding lent8T Mortgages having, been provided for, en presentation and surrender of coupons duo December 1st, 1939.

Read this engaging romance in the new serial, "The Blue Door;" beginning STARTS NEXT WEEK Came To See Your Husband It was at that moment that Bar- ney opened the door and came in, looking, if anything, more dogged- ly cheerful than usual. "This is my husband," Janet said. "Barney, this is Mr.—" "As a matter -of fact, Mrs. Me - Knight," Abner Justin interrupt- ed, "I'm here under false preten- ses—sort of. It was your husband I really came to .see. Haven't been able to run him down anywhere el.s "lnd.eed?" Is seemed to Janet that Barney stiffened. "What I'd like to know," Mr. Justin went on, "is this: do you still own the rights to that story they were running in the News a few weeks ago?" "Of -Janet said. he course "He dill the work ou his own time and with his own money--" "Go slow, Tanet," Barney said quickly, and turned to the old man. "Just what is it to you?', "I am in a position," the old man said, "to pay you well for those articles." "I seem to have heard that siren song before," Barney retorted, his eyes narrowing. "Only they send r. different crooner each time . . And now you can go back -to your little playmates at City Hall, and the higher-ups they're protecting, and tell them you've done your" chore." "lily • little• -•-•what?" The old gentleman seemed genuinely start- led and entertained. "I'm not impressed by your money,$' Barney went on, warm- ing to his work. "Pm not even impressed by your threats. Be- cause if you try any funny busi- ness, there are some signed papers in safe hands that won't •leave any doubt in any one's mind who is responsible for it." "I wonder," the •old, gentlemats said, "if it won't interest you to know that I own. the News now, lock, stock and barrel; and that there's nothing under God's; Hea- ven I'd get so inuch fun out of as seeing that .story smeared all over its pages." After a moment during which Barney's face was a study of in- credulous bewilderment, he de- -niauded, "Who= --what did you say yam Baine is?" "Justin -----Abner Justin You wouldn't know much about nee maybe. 1 haven't been around here a great deal lately." Barney, who had continued to stand, sat down, looking complete- ly deflated, Evidently, Janet. thought, the name carried convic- tion. "You see," the old man went on, "I've never had time for a real fling in all my life. And I'm get- ting along. So I decided to buy the the News and throw spy weight around a little while I still have some to throw, I read some mag- azine articles of yours before I Saw that News story. I like the way you think and I like the way you write." As Barney, for perhaps' the first time since Janet had known him, seemed utterly at a loss for words, Mr. Justin went on, "And by the way, I'm going to need a wide- awake young editor who isn't. afraid to- speak his mind—espe- cially if. I can find one with a wife I like as much as I do yours." It was several months later that Barney, coming in a little early one day, utterly stampeded Janet by saying soberly, "Honey, I'm, afraid we're going to have to move after all." The White House Again "All 'right, Barney," Janet said after a heart -sick moment. "I'll go out tomorrow and look around." "Maybe you won't have to, . if you can stand a place I stumbled over today. How about having a, look at it now?" As they drove, he refused to an- swer any questions, looking all the while so wickedly excited that Janet said, "All right, be a clam! But if you keep it up too long, you'll blow up with your own sense sof importance." She did not guess, even when he swung. the car into the hillside drive that led along the edge of the park. Then all at once Bar- ney was stopping before the white house Lance had built. "I haven't bought, it yet," he said, "but Tim and Cynthia are going to Brazil—some construc- tion job—and it's for sale. Do you-.-" he clocked a quizzical eye- brow, but his voice was eager— "do you think it will 'do,' Janet?" (THE END) By SADIE B.

Women Can Make Or Break Nation Executive Says "Powderpuff Financiers" of U. S. Own 70 Per Cent of Country's Wealth • A man's world? Well, hardly -- in the opinion 03 Henry W. Stanley, executive secre- tary of the Hot Springs (Ark.) Chamber of Commerce. According to Stanley, the women of the United States, or "Powder - puff Financiers," as he calls them, own 70 per cent. of the country's private wealth, buy 85 per cent. of all the merchandise sold through retail outlets, have $10,000,000,000, or 66 per cent. of all savings bank deposits, possess titles to 48 per cent of all the homes and comprise 49 per cent. of the 15,000,000 stock- holders. "The American woman," he claimed, "has it in her hands to make or break this nation. "I wouldn't say the gentlemen are hiding behind the women's skirts, but there may be something to it." American women, he said, even buy 65 per cent. of the men's under- wear. "And," he added, with a touch of bitterness, "the men wear it." London.
