OSnernierol •0010 01"r" Oi These Three Loves By LOUIS ARTHUR CUNNINGHAM CHAPTER ONE There was .one little criulson splotch against the green wall of Rydal Wood, a gay flamboyant jaunty pemion fluttering from the first lance of the Autumns van- guard, Always it saddened Gil - lieu Meade, that little maple, pro- claiming so valiantly among the hosts of green that soon now, soon, the mightier hosts of the Autumn would be advancing, Then ,all the green army would fade, and drop its tattered pennons and the wind would roar and whistle around the ancient gables of Rydal House. Sadness always catch to Gillian with the end of summer. Not that there had been much joy this year; certainly not. at Rydal House, that had belonged to the Meades for well over a century and had been, too, a good house to them, for scarcely one of the family had spent a 'dollar on its upkeep. The ones who could spend; would.nt; the ones like Gil. Tian, who would, never seemed to have a dollar, Right now there was a quarter and sonic smaller change in the pocket of Gillians faded fawn rid- ing breeches. And that was about all she owned in the way of worldly wealth. The other Meades, Colonel Anse and young Deborah, wouldn't be much more affluent. This week -end, though, Gillian thought, would see all that rem- edied, "And you"—she spoke al- mo•st caressingly to the age -dark- ened, beamed ceilings of Ryael House, "you will get some long - needed attention, And you"—she spoke to the stables—"will have new tenants for those empty boxes. And you"—she spoke to the willow -slender, read -headed girl with the high cheek bones and deep blue eyes, who looked atten- tively at her from the long mir- ror on the closet door—"you Gillian Meade, will have Patou models and mink coats and dia- monds and—oh, come in!" The door of Gillian's sun -bright room opened and Colonel Anselm' Meade nselm- 14ieade came stiffly in. The room had a great Horner window and hangings of gay yellow chintz, a bit faded; and a yellow seug with little red flowers, and a white bed and dresser and dozens of photo- graphs. There was one of Col- Onel Anse in his uniform as an officer of the Princess Pat's, with heaps of medals and what not odorning his broad front, Gillian picked it up from its place of honor on . the little white spinet desk and looked from it to the faded original. "My dream man," she whispered. "Darling Anselm in the flesh—and he hasn't changed a bit!" Money All Spent "Hasn't he!" One of Colonel Anse's legs was a bit stiff because it was made of wood, but he was straight and hard as oak and he crossed the yellow rug with the red flowers quite as if it were a parade ground and glared at Gil- lian as if site were the newest .recruit, with her tunic on back- �•9 S lsl� � u 1/11 Mk4S 1' it To the tramp of marellin g feet, the roar of aeroplane engines, the rattle of machine guns and the rumble of tanks, Canada gives her answer to the world, And you're invited to see it all and eon it often at tho most dramatic, informative,iospiriugExhibition ever held, S.IFE iNavyn thrilling acmen action l SEE a- chinosgo hrouguitththei 5 ghting nest SEE uritete "souvenirs" from the Britain!

Gillian shook her head, and the red bob showered off golden lights like a myriad of little cas- cades leaping iii a crimson sun. set. "What did Hawtry tell you, Anse?" "That there's 110 whiskey. When I told him to get some, he said he couldn't." "Ants ehall I tell you 'why, Anse?" Gillian cocked her head at him. "Because there's no money." "That's it, Very good indeed, Gillian." Anse slapped his thigh. "I always said you had the brains of the Meades. That's it exactly! No money—those were the words Hawtry used. Money's all spent, ell?" "All spent, Anse, All we have is Rydal and once we •start to give it for collateral"—she shrug- ged. "But Gillian, we have to have honey. Meades have always had money. Maybe too mach money." He grinned a wry grin. "That's so, Anse. But, as you well know, Anse, they had factor- ies too and maybe an. odd brewery, and some of them were big shots in the stock market, All that's left now is the infant Deborah, concerned with clothes and sweet- hearts, the grown-up Gillian, who is quite useless." " You're not useless, Gillian." The old soldier looked fondly on her. "You're a trump, girl—a trump. Real stuff in you—real, solid, gritty stuff in you, Gil." She shook her head. "I don't knew where it is, Anse. I'ni. soft. I've had it easy all niy life. A great house, fine clothes, serv- ants, motors—a grand life, and I've loved it and I've hated to see it •slipping, slipping away. Do you know what I was doing just before you came? I was making up my mind. Come here, sir." She took Anse by the bony arm and led him, tall, gaunt, towering above her. Do You Love Him? Anse's gaze was steady on the brown sweet face, on the firm mouth ,the upturned nose with its tiny f.reckles the high clear fore - heed, the wide blue eyes with their lashes of a gold darker than the red gold of her hair. "You said . you were making up your mind —to what?" "To marry." "Ah! And bow is that going to—" "A Man with lots of money— more money than the Meades ever had." "You mean Jonathan Hillyer?" "I mean Jonathan Hillyer, You know what it will mean. New life for Rydal House, new life for us all. We're going to have money. Ts there anything' wrong about my marrying Jon Hillyer? He wants me. He eau have Inc. He can pay for me." "Gillian!"

Aluminum For Young Aeronauts Air -Minded Youth in Canada and the United States Make Model Airplanes Powered by Gasoline Engines People visiting model aircraft meets in recent years have been amazed to find that in addition to the model airplanes driven by elastic bands, the young builders flew craft which were powered by tiny gasoline engines. The zeal axed the air -mindedness of youth ib. Canada and the United States have to be seen to be believed. The U. S. authorities recently made a decision which indicates how greatly they cherish this air - mindedness in American boys and youths, Aluminum is a commodity so precious in building American air power that a shortage threats ens in the face of the demand.

Bismark Women's Royal Naval Ser- vice Takes Part In Battle of Atlantic, Handting Signais and Charts - "omen are taking an important part in the Battle of the Atlantic. They every had a share iii the op- eration which resulted in the de- struction of the German battle- ship Bismarck. In the ict'adquarters directing the Battle of the Atlan- tic these officers and ratings of the Women's Royal Naval Service work day and night at key jobs. Thus they release experienced men for service at sea. The most secret signals about the ceaseless ocean struggle pass through their hands. By code and cypher they translate the messages which flash between warships and the base. Some of these women work at charts, plotting the ever- changing positions of convoys and warships with great efficiency. Most of the signals which pass through their hands for coding or decoding concern routine move- ments of ships. But now and then come the brief wireless messages telling of some tragedy or success away out there at sea, Through their hands there passed the ur- gent signals which told the story of the hunt far the German bat- tleship Bismarck and its final de - stem ction. Those who worked on the sig- nas about the chase and sinking of the battleship Bismarck are de- lighted to think that they were privileged to play a part in this operation. But even to their fellow -ratings in the same group they eannot give details of those thrilling hours as the exciting wireless messages about the oper- ation came streaming in, A Veteran Watch With War Record • A watch carried in four wars is in the possession of a woman in Wales. It began its career in the pocket of a soldier in the Crimean war; was hit by a Boer bullet at the turn of the century; was carried in France in 1914-18 --and suffered a casualty the other day when its crystal was splintered in a bombing raid.

CHAMBERS A Medley of Conserves All of us who like something different do delight in trying new recipes. Nothing gives us a bet- ter scope for this than the mak- ing of new conserves. I have a number of requests and I am go- ing to combine them in this week's column with a few very special favorites. Peach Conserve 15 large peaches 1 lemon 1 orange 1 grapefruit 1 teaspoon almond flavoring lh teaspoon nutmeg 1 cup blanched shredded almonds Sugar, equal quantities for peaches Peel and slice peaches, add orange, grapefruit and lemon. Cook for one-half hour then add the sugar and cook for 45 minutes until a marmalade consistency. Add nuts and cook 5 minutes. Pour into sterile glasses; when cool seal with paraffin. If desired 3/a cup chopped maraschino cher- ries may be added. Peach Conserve with Pineapple 3 cups sliced. peaches 9/y cup crushed pineapple 1 grapefruit 1 cup raisins 3 cups sugar cup rolled or chopped pecans Scald and cold dip peaches, peel. Add pineapple and grape- fruit, sliced thin or chopped very fine. Add the raisins and cook until mixture thickens. Add the sugar and cook until it thickens again.
