You are the glamorous Gillian Meade. Men break their necks— and their hearts—running after you. The great Jonathan Hiilyer loves you, gazes on you with ador- ing eyes, You'll be his darling, Per- haps when you're in his arms he will change to someone else—per- haps to a. boy who was fool enough to think he loved you." She could listen to no more, She brushed past him, ran blindly, up the jetty and through the silver and shadow of the woods. She heard Jon's voice calling, "Gillian: Where are you, Gillian?" She did not answer. She would not have Jon see her like this, panting, breathless, as if she had beeu pursued by fiends. She cow- ered in the shadow of a pine trunk and stayed there, quiet as the night, until Jon's voice receded. She walked slowly back to the lodge. She was all right now. Al- most, she could laugh at Simon's verbal flagellations. '+r Calumet's double -action gives you double leavening—both dur- ing mixing and in the oven.

"He11o, Jon," she called gayly when she saw him coming down from the verandah. "And where were you? I hunted everywhere." "Oh, I was a little girl last in the woods and the 'cruel, wicked giant found me—or maybe it was the wolf—anyway he tried. to gob- ble me up. So I ran and ran and when I heard you I was so out of breath that I could not answer." Jon laughed. He drew her arm through his, "Come on, Gillian, let's get closer to that moon." "Let's go all the way to the noon," she amended. "And stay there." They strolled down towards the lake by another path. The moonlight was still lovely on Lac St. -Cloud. A road of shim- mering silver stretched across the water and her feet were on the very edge of that road's beginning. Yet she might never walk on it. The night wind had come, sighing in the pines; poplar leaves rustled their eternal rustling—little, whis- pering, lonesome voices. She shiv- ered. Jon bent to her solicitously: "I should have brought a wrap for you, Gillian. Shall we go back and get one?" "Please, no. I'm not cold," "But I fancied you were shiver- ing." She laughed, "Maybe because I was thinking of the poplar leaves; how they always shake and shiver, even when there is no breath of wind." "I don't believe it." Jon was ever practical. "But it's a pretty fancy all right. I often marvel at chaps who can think up such things. To me, it's only a tree shaking it's leaves in the wind. The only time I feel the urge to utter beauty is when I look at you, Gillian, and then I'm tongue-tied. Niven as now—" "You don't need to talk, Jou. Your gentleness, your kindness— these things speak with more sin- cere voices than the sayers of gol- den things. Sometimes a girl grows tired of words, you know. Oh, they do things to you—those lovely, singing things that some men can say; they touch something in you. But it's witchery, .it's an illusion, it can do you harm." "There's a bench over there, Gillian," he said. "Let's sit. I do, truly, find it hard to talk, now that the hour has come," They went over to the wrought -iron bench and sat down. He was silent for a while, as if looking for words with which to begin. She felt no stirring in her heart, no nervousness, no treacherous bewilderment. That was as it should be. Perhaps Another Gillian "I love you, Gillian," Jon said, his voice husky. "I love you, my dear. You are so lovely, Gillian. I don't ask you i1 you love me. What I ask is the right to love you, to watch over you, to keep from you that •cl:ark shadow I've sometimes seen upon your face. As if wings were passing overhead, shutting off the light from you. I never want to see that again." "You will always see it," Ile stared at her, startled. "What do You mean? Tell me, Gillian. You must tell mel" She shook her head. "I dare not. You are strong and I can use your strength. You are kind and I can do with kindness. I'll go to you, Jon, if you want me. And I'll try to be all that you want nie to be." "I want you to be just Gillian— just as you are now." He took her hand and ;.carried it to his lips. He kissed it and pressed it against his cheek. For a moment she clung to him, trembling. She felt no joy, no triumph in this moment. "Make a new life, a new world for me, Jon," she whispered. "Make me another Gillian, You can do that." "But can 1, darling? I would so gladly. I can make another mate- rial world for you. I could build you a city. And yes—Yes" — his voice was eager — ' perliapswith my love I can make you another Gillian, I don't know what bothers you, but I think I can guess, at least in part." I can never got away from the memory' of it, Gillian thought. 1< was wrong to think that 1 could.

(To Be Continued) French Uprising Predicted Soon A general uprising in France' within three or four months was predicted by Arthur Lesser, 29,. who has lived in France for the past 19 years and who served in • the French propaganda service under two governments. Lesser, who arrived in New York recently, declared that' : the lack of food and the approach of winter would hasten an uprising among the French people.
