When her uncle asks her whether she loves Jonathan, she evades the question, but admits that she did love Jaffry Clay, whose death has been indirectly blamed on her. She goes for a walk on the grounds of Rydal House. , * M* CHAPTER 111 Ahead of Gillian, where the bank sloped steeply down to the mirror - smooth water, Rab was, barking and making an unearthly din. A road, little more than zl track, led down to the shore from the 'King's highway. There was an open car parked under an ehn and she heard a splashing in the water. This was Meade water and Meade ground and Anse was pretty strict about trespassers. He had gone to much pains to have signs with "No Trespassing" on them planted at strategic points, "This cove, where the Meades had always swum, was one of the places. This young man had hung hie clothes on the sign. Be was paddling about on his back. gazin at his toes. }Ie was a very brown young man with dark hair, abort and still crisp de- spite its wetness. When he saw Gillian ho stopped paddling and stared fixedly at her and his face seemed to darken. "Oh!" he called, moving inshore. "Your river?" "Partly." She didn't like his tone. She shushed Rab, who was barking, his forepaws in the water. "Sorry we didn't know you were coming or we'd have had clothes pegs stuck in the No Trespassing sign. Forgive the oversight," "Not at all. You've made up for it by giving me a glimpse of your- self. I've never seen you outside the Sunday picture papers." "Did you ever want to?" "To be frank, no." He tarred in a slow circle. Gillian's brows ,came down. "And why didn't you?" she ask- ed. "Must you know?" He looked t her challengingly, looked at her as Gillian Meade had never before been looked at by one like him, Always up to now she had seen homage, admiration, wonder, in the eyes of young men; here she saw contempt. quite open. and scorn thinly veiled. "I shouldn't mind knowing," she said quietly. Damon and Pythias "Because 1 was afraid," he am swered calmly. "that cnce having gazed upon the fabled he .y of Gillian Meade—the Woman Like the Sun -1 should hate to destroy myself. Maybe I should have drowned myself' in the water there, but your lovers choose whiskey, don't they " She felt as if he had struck her, She.looked at him, in her eyes no anger, no resentment, only path, He could have seen, had he wanted to see. But he did not want to see. He stood there, a harsh young Judge, too quick to condemn, too ready to believe the worst. "I see." She could speak at list —a whisper he scarcely heard. "Oh, do yon? I'm glad of that, 1 ISSUE 36-'41 1) was Jaffry Clay's best friend. Per - baps that will explain things. I roomed with him all through his college years. We were Damon and Pythias; still better, we were pais, He had genius and you -you with nothing but that goddess beauty, that lovely body and empty head and tattered soul—you led him on; kidded him, played with him, then dropped 'him. I know how he felt about you. He told me and I knew he was a fool— any man would be a fool—to feel that way, that much, about any woman. I couldnt' tell him so; he wouldn't listen. He's dead now. He destroyed himself. You're lovelier than ever, Gillian Meade." Giving Way To Tears She turned then and hurried up the bank, blindly, scarcely able to see where she was going, follow- ing the vague white blur that was, Rab. She knew him. His name was Simon Killigrew. She knew far more about him than he dreamed— about his hero-worship of Jeff Clay; about his other deity, his wife Hilary, a very young and lovely girl, who had died while he was taking a year at Oxford. Perhaps he had a right to be bit- ter—his best friend, and the wife of only a few short months both taken teem hien. He had a right to feel the world was against him, but why should he centre all his bitterness on her? She stepped in a grove of pines in sight of the house to dig out her compact and dry her eyes. She was furious at herself kr leaving. given way to tears, 1 have deli nothing that calls Hfor tears. she thought bitterly,. She snapped the compact shut and walked slowly up the drive. Anse when she entered the house, was immersed in some old campaign, some battle. Those who had fought there were dust long ages ago, and their arms were rusted away and of their proud standards nothing remained. But Anse covld bring them all to lite. She stood in the library door and watched him there in the dusk as he dreamed, chin on hand, eyes fixed on a battle map. "Sol- dier, rest, thy warfare o'er'," she called softly. Anse started, gazed about him. "Eh?" he said. "Oh it's you, Gil- lian! 1 was just going over the battle of Maiplaquet, 'Soldier, rest,' did you say? Not yet, Gillian —not yet. It's the only life I've ever known. Did you have a pleas- ant walk?" "Pleasant enough," she lied. No use to tell Anse that Jaffry Clay's ghost had walked again for her on the edge of Rydal Water. Anse got up stiffly an. gave Gillian his arm. Her Shining Soul "Come walk a little while on the terrace with me, Gil, if you're not too tired. I like to watch the sun- set when it's coming en the Aut• umn. Pretty, eh?" They could see the crimson flood beyond the tall, Gothic windows of the library. "Makes you sad to watch it, but makes you feel better too." They went out and paced up and down the flagged terrace, Gillian, so young and supple and full of grace; Anse, so old and stiff and awkward. "It makes your hair look lovely, Gil. Lovelier than it usually She squeezed his arm. "Do you think that I have a tattered soul inside this body they call lovely, Anse?" "What! Tattered! You've been seeing too matey motion •pictures. That sounds more like Deborah in one of her exalted moments. Tattered soul! Tell me now—what brought this up? Your soul is a shining thing, Gillian. it couldn't be otherwise," "I like to hear that. Coming from you, it means something, for you have known me at my best and at my worst, Never too good at my worst, eb?" "To be sure not." He patted her hand. "Sunset's like a great fur- nace now, Gil, Look at it! Could swallow up a thousand armies. That's where we all march to, all of tie, one day—out there to stand before the greatest General of Work Is Easier For Tidy Cook The great maxim is: "wash up as you go." Do make up your mind to have a good'supply of hot water in the kitchen and plenty of soap and soda; the moment you have finished cutting up vege- tables, rinse and dry the knife; the instant you have finished with a saucepan and while it is bot, wash it with hot soda water (un- less it is aluminum) ; you'll save the trouble of coping with con- gealed fat later; you'll also save the beginning of a mess. By the way, things like onions, fish and celery have rather a persistent smell that clings. The secret is to use cold water for washing the knife used for chopping them and also for your hands; hot water opens the pores and lets the odor get right "under your skin." U.S, Women May Be Ferry Pilots United States • Army Air Force. officials are reported giving seri- ous consideration to the use of experienced women pilots in the Army's Airplane Ferry Command, for flight work somewhat similar to that which women handle for the Royal Air Force in Britain. While no decision has been made, it was learned that the plan contemplated would assign women pilots to ferrying training planes from factories to training 'centres- -a task which now occupies the; time of regular army fliers '.who" would otherwise be - engaged in. combat training. "ill Plant Trees Bombed Areas Million shilling Planting Fund Started in Britain 1M1' lritish architects are con - mu. .;lth plans for topographi- cal reconstructions on the sites de- vastated by Nazi bombs, arboratora are planning to replace the trees demolished by the same cause. A million shilling planting fund has been started and a society known as Men of the Trees organized un- der the auspices of well-known hor- ticulturists, Already a pretty book- let has been issued to farmers urg- ing them to set out seedlings of shade trees in anticipation. "Tile futile destruction of war proclaims the, urgent necessity for world co-operation in the matter ,of conserving and replenishing the rapidly dwindling forests of the world," the society states. It points out that the work of reafforestation "while removing the scars' of war, will provide a task so great and of so absorbing an interest that political and national interests will unite in working for this common 'ideal." ':Egg Problem Trying to ration eggs is rather like trying to ration cabbages, observes 'The London Spectator. There is no means of checking, acquiring' or stopping the back- yard supply. Thus no scheme of egg rationing, except one in which there are more egg inspec- torq,-than eggs, can insure equal- ity of -supply for all.

A %Y ming By Roosevelt Fullest Effort by United, States and Canada Necessary To Win War With that sense of the dramatic°, which never fails him, Presi,;igltis: Roosevelt seized the opportunity. at his weekly press conference- the first since his return from. }tis conference at sea with Mr. Church- ill—to stress the fact that in his opinion it is imperative for his countrymen to realize they face a major struggle if the war Is to be won, and to warn them that they are lacking in a. full realization that the war cannot be won except by hard, tough fighting. ' President Roosevelt chose a re- markably effective method to drive home his point by reading an excerpt from Carl Sandburg's "Abraham Lincoln, The War Years," in which. Ictr, Sandberg quoted Prwedcut Lincoln's reply to a delegation of women led by Mrs. Mary A, Livermore of Chic- ago in 1$(i2, as follows: LINCOLN QUOTED "I have no word of encourage- ment to give, The military situ- ation Is far from bright; and the country knows it as well as I do. . . The fact is, the people have not yet made up their uiinds that we are at war with the South. They have not buckled down to the determination to fight this war through; for they have got the idea into their heads that we are' going to get out of this fix some- how by strategy. That's the word— them all and make our report, and may it be a good one; may we not be found wanting," (To Be Continued) strategy! General McLellan thinks he is going to whip the rebels by 'strategy; and the Army has got the same notion. They have no • idea that the war is to be carried on and put through by hard, tough fighting, that it will hurt some- body; and no .headway is going to be made while this delusion lasts." DANGER VERY REAL. --"---President Roosevelt, in reply to varlets questions submitted by the newspaper men, declared in unequivocal words that he thought many people in the united States 'had not awakened to the danger to that country and that people all over the world bad not real- ized the world danger. Mr. Roosevelt followed this up with an emphatic statement that the primary result of his meeting with Mr. Churchill had been a better meeting of minds on the fight the democracies are putting up. He warned that the war might continue through 1943. His words • may well be token to heart be- yond the confines of the United States. There are in certain parts of this Dominion, for instance, people whose lackadaisical atti- tude justifies the assumption that they have not yet realized that Canada is engaged in fighting the most terrible war of all recorded history, and that the fullest effort of which everyone is capable is, essential if victory is to be won. That is the essence of Mr. Roose• velt's statement, both implied and direct, Must Not Tempt Tea rooms in Vichy, France were oihdered to remove sand- wiches and other tid-hits from their display windows. Police officials explained such displays Made people hungry.

She Might Vote In Spare Time A Dutchman was recently ex- patiating on the folly of giving women the vote. He declared that in Holland there was greater ef- ficiency among the female sex where they did not possess that doubtful privilege. He pointed to the fact that the Dutch woman sits with one foot on the spinning wheel or churn and with the other she rocks the cradle containing twins, with her hands she knits socks for her husband, while on her knee rests a book from which she is improving her mind. by study. And all the while she sits on a cheese, pressing it for mar- ket. TABLE TALKS By SADIE B.

As became an heir- ess ,.of 9cotdgition she444,not fail e to makan appropriate reference to Holy Writ. The par- able of the Good Samaritan ad- mirably served hex purpose. "It gives us strength," she said to the women of America, "to know that you have not been content to pass us by on the other side. To us, in the time of our tribulation, you have surely shown that compas- sion which has been for two thou- sand years the mark of the good. neighbor." She looked forward to a day when the women of both lands would go forward, hand in hand, to a better world for their children. It is said that the Qu,een wrote her own speech without consulting anybody except her two secretar- ies. This was just as well. This was women's business; it required no clumsy hand from the Cabinet to carry it forward. Her Majesty evidently needs no politician to tell her what, in such matters, is diplomatic. Her brief address was as tactful as it was gracious. Tie up to Ogden's!
