His lips touched her hair, spoke softly into her ear. "Not now, Jon. Please not now. Tonight—you will tell me tonight. We had better go down now." "But there is a chance for me?" "Yes — oh, yes — there is a chance." She saw him when she and Jon Hillyer were halfway down the stairs. He was standing by the great stone fireplace and lie was gazing at the flames that leaped and seethed, chasing each other up the blackened chimney with a rush. and roar. She saw hits in profile, clean-cut, rugged, high- browed, with a dreamer's look about him, an intense look as if his thoughts were swift and vital. .And as she watched him he turned from gazing at the flames and looked directly up at her. Their yees met with a sudden, deva- stating evastating impact. She felt something like panic. I'll face him, she thought angrily. I'll not give ground to hien, not an inch, She tore her eyes from his. She said something to Jon. Then ,she was among the guests, going from group to group with Jon. Four more couples had arrived. There were some she did not know. The introductions took time. When, at last, it came Simon Killigrew's turn, she could give him look for look. She was all right now, "You've met Gillian Meade." Jon made a statement of it, "You were trespassing on her preserves, she tells lne." "Believe me, I didn't know." He looked at Jon, not at her. "Well, no matter, Killigrew. She has forgiven you. I asked her about your proposition—left it up to her, In fact, And I'm in the publishing business. You come to see me next Wednesday in Montreal and we can work out the details." Slowly, Simon looked from Jon. to her. She saw the color ebb from beneath his tan, saw. his lips move. He said. "Thank you, Mr. Hillyer. I—I'd like to see Jaff's work pub- lished — under any terms. Miss Meade has been more than kind." No Forgiveness She did not again look at Simon Killigrew and presently she and Jon walked away. There were cock- tails then and there was dancing and thea dinner. Simon had poiut- ediy avoided her. At dinner he sat far down the table on the same side and she could not see those angry eyes of his. She laughed and talked with a forced gayety. Try as she could she could not forget his presence. Jane Craddock,.who sat next to Simon and some of the others, were talking about books. Simon spoke of those he had published and those he hoped to publish. 'Someone, unthinking, spoke of poetry and Jane Craddock said, "People don't read poetry these days." The other listened then. "It de- pends," said Simon. "If the poetry is good and yet can strike a mod- ern note, the public will like it, We had such a poet in Jeffry Clay. but it seems that the good die young," Three was silence then. Eyes were bent to the table or cast sly looks at Gillian. She gave no sign that she had heard. Someone bridg• ed the gap by beginning to talk about dogs and things again flowed smoothly. Still, for Gillian, the dinner seemed to drag along in- terminably. There was hopelessness in her heart, hopelessness at the thought of ever winning Simon Killigrew's regard. He 'was cruel, ds only the young and airtime can be creel. There would be no forgiving. no relenting, "Why so quiet, Gillian?" Jon's hand touched hers. They were at the coffee now. She would he gltul when this meal was ended, She wanted to wander out under the stars alone. She wanted to be with herself in all the world, save Aliso. tite only one who could look on her without 100mnolt condeuiil• ation. ISSUE 40—'41 I) "I was dreaming. I'M sorry, Jon." "I hope they were pleasant dreams—of what will be." She slid not answer, Presently they left the table. She saw Simon Killigrew go off with Jon and some of the other men to the stables. A Night of Destiny An Illusion. • :Gillian wandered off alone down a winding path among the pities and tall white spruce by tate lake shore. The path led down to a little jetty where Jon kept a speedboat and some canoes. She walked out to the end of it and sat down on a bollard. Tonight she thought, will be a night of destiny, tonight will shape my life, After tonight I'll be where Simon and all the other Simons cannot reach me. She heard. a step on the dry planks of the jetty, She turued her head and saw a tall ,figure walking slowly towards her. He hesitated when he was close en- ough. to see her sitting there, then carne and stood on the cap of the wharf beside her, "I was looking for you," he said. "I suppose it is in order to thank you for putting in a good word with Jonathan Hillyer. So I thank you." "You don't really thank me." After a brief look at him, at his dark face in the moonlight, she gazed off over the water at the deep mystery of the forest, "My instinct was to refuse. 'I hated to think that you should have anything to do with—with even the poor things Jeffry left. How can you bear even the men- tion of his name, without thinking that you might have stretched out a hand to help him, and did not? How can you—?" "I can't—that's the answer!" She stood .up, facing him, her head - thrown back, back, her arms straight at her sides, "I can't hear his name without suffering a private hell bt my own. So I won't hear if, not from you, not from anyone.. He's dead now. !Sometimes I think he's • better off than I am, At least, he has some rest, some peace. I know you hate me for what you think I did to him. Who are you to con- demn rue? I want you to• know it doesn't matter to me.

Advice to Those About to Spend Finance Minister Ilsley in a re- cent interview said his message for the Canadian people is "spend less—less on everything." Mr. Iisley's advice to those about to spend stoney is simple and all - embracing: "Don't." The Government doesn't want people to spend a single nickel unless it's inevitable, he added. The Government wants to siphon all those nickels and dimes and dollars into war savings. "It isn't that we want the money just as money. The civilian standard of Iiving has got to be reduced in every possibde way; 14 has got to be brought down to a reasonable minimum standard` and kept there, so that we can turn over an increasing amount of our productive capacity to war goods."
