Realizing that the fatally fortunes are nearly ex- hausted, Gillian determines to ac- cept Jonathan Hillyer, wealthy Friend of the family, while she is his guest at a house party on his luxurious estate, She meets Simon Killigrew, best friend of Jaffry Clay, the brilliant young poet to whom Gillian was engaged„ Killi- grew accuses Gillian of having been responsible for Clay's death, This disturbs her, and at the very instant that Jon Hillyer is propos. ing, she finds herself wavering in her resolve to marry him, CHAPTER 9 "There's one thing I must tell you, Jon," Gilliam said at last, loos- ing the clasp of his arm: "I've been cold and calculating in wanting- to antingto marry you. Oh, don't mistake me—I think you are splendid. There is no man I honor or admire more, except Anse. But I feel i would be less than honest if I didn't tell you the truth—that there's no love in me—nothing of what the world calls love." "But there can be," In spite of his wisdom, his vaunted sophisti- cation, he was oddly disappointed. What had he deluded himself with? He was more than twice her age. Gillian was not yet twenty. "I don't know," said Gillian. "I'm afraid of love, anyway." She spoke almost sullenly. "But I can be hap- py with you and I can' make you happy. That's all love could mean anyway. Isn't it, Jou?" "Poor Gillian." he said softly. She clung to Jon Hillyer. "Don't say, `Poor Gillian. Don't feel sorry for me, Jon." "But the greatest thing in lite. Gillian—the tiring that belongs to youth ---that is youth—you have not known it," Her eyes were cold, cold, and her heart was cold. "I don't know what to think. 1 only know you are troubled, and that I'd do anything—anything In the world—to help you." "I'ni still thinking of love, Jon, Stili wondering if one can really die for love. Oh, Jon, forgive ate for talking this way! Forgive ore and—and love me. I'm not afraid of your love, Jon." "You need never be. Nor afraid for it." With him the let down feel- ing persisted. This moment had been nothing such as he had pic- tured. "We won't announce it tonight," lie said. "Perhaps we won't an- nounce it at all. We'll just go off one of these days, soon, and be married." "I'd like it to be that way." Her Tie up to Ogden's I Old -Timers will tell you that, for rolling -your -own, Ogden's is a name to tie to for a really satisfying smoke. It has a taste all itsown—richer, better tasting.

I want you to know I'd like to make you happy. I'd like it better than anything else in the world." What Is It About? But was it so? Wasn't it her own well-being, her own security, that mattered most? I£ she wanted to make him happy was she going the right way about it by marrying him when she did not love him? Simon Killigrew was not with the crowd in the living room, Some of them were playing bridge, some just talking, He was nowhere about, It came to Gillian with a queery shock that his dark head was what she had looked for first, Not finding it she felt something that she hated to admit was• dia. appointment. The room seemed empty somehow. She joined in a game of bridge, but had to fight to keep track of the cards. She saw two of the players ex- change xchange sly, knowing glances when she forgot it was her turn to bid and had to be reminded. They thought she was looking for Jon, Expectantly, when she and Jon re- turned from the lake all these curi- ous eyes had gazed at them. "You're not with us, Gillian—at least, not in spirit," said Moira Canavan sweetly—the Hon, Moira, who had the best seat on a horse of any woman in Quebec Province, who had wanted Jon Hillyer her- self and wanted him very much. For himself, 'oo—since she had a great fortune of her own, "Well, I for one can't blame you." The game went on. Moira, when she was dummy, had leisure to speculate on Gillian, on what made her forget the game. One by one she eliminated the men in the room: Pander and Sutton and Royce were middle-aged and mar- ried—and had their wives with then; Savariu played a 'cello and Morton Ilsley was the were bore in the Province; Sir Bates Eyston might do, only for the fact that he'd been trying to flirt with her since she came in, and she hadn't even seen ]rim. A Coming Man Simon Killigrew! Moira, when it flashed on her, almost dropped her cards. She whistled noiselessly. She had it now! Simon and she had ben talking before Jon and Gillian returned, and he, too, had been watching for someone, look- ing every now and then at the door and into his eyes would come a stormy, brooding look. Certainly, mused Moira, it isn't love on his part—if I'm any judge. I wonder what it's all about. She had forgotten her make, It was her turn to be laughed at. She laughed too. She said, "Mr. Killi- grew must have found us pretty dull. He left for his room with the plea that he had some novel ntauu- scripts to read. Can you conceive of anything duller—even us!" ' "Oh, yes." Morton Ilsley, Gil- lian's partner, knew all about books and publishers. ' "Quite a coming man, Killigrew, He's published a few. things that did quite well and I hear he's going right into it. Well, it's nice work, giving genius to the world. Genius has a hard time." "Genius," said the Hon. Moira, "always gives me the idea that what it needs is a kick in tire' pants," Morton looked shocked, Ile told three no-trumps offhand and knew he had overdone it. Moira doubled him promptly, Snug little caterpillar. A lot he knew of geniuses. Ask Gillian Meade—she could give you the real lowdown on the tribe. Hadn't she been wild about that crazy- eyed, gin -swigging poet, 'Jeffry Clay, who hacl gone to Valhalla, or wherever poets go, leaving be- hind him a romantic impression that he had deliberately done him- self in for love of Gillian, because Gillian would have nothing to do with him? And she thought, well, it Wats only atter she turned him down that he started in trying to drink it all •up. Maybe there is something in the yarn, Saner men than Clay might have a bust-up over that face and figure. 1 hope she is good to Jon, Lf she isn't, I'll break her neck, Oh—oh, here comes the dark and brooding one out of seclusion, (To toe Continued) Grand Spice Cake Raisin Nut Filling In Arabia, when a man has eat- en another man's salt, he is mor. ally bound not to harm his host. In Chia country we take the spices ot the east, finely -milled cake flour, sugar, eggs and salt too, of course, and make them into a grand spice cake, which is guaranteed to en- sure your safety. Anyone who par- takes of this spice cake in your home will be bound to everlasting peace with you. When the frag- rant aroma of spice cake comes floating out of your oven you will know you have something fit for a Shiek, not to mention your own fancily. And when you serve it, people will murmur "Allah be praised!" or expressions to that effect. 2 cups sifted cake flour 2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder aa. teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon cinnamon y, teaspoon cloves as teaspoon nutmeg ea, teaspoon mace as teaspoon allspice 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed Bagging A Deer There have been several letters lately, says the Vancouver Prov- ince, from earnest souls who de- plore the idea of people going out into the woods and shooting deer with a bow and arrow. They say there is a too great possibility of wounding and maiming the crea- tures without killing them., or ot condemning them to a slow and tortured death. It is a kindly thought and one that does them honor. What 1 can not make out at the present day --and I have said so before— is why people who live in a mod- ern city where the very best steak can be had for 50 cents a pound should want to go out in the busk at a great expense and kill a deer at all—let alone 'with a bow and arrow. There is no skill needed to kill a deer with a modern rifle—if you keep sober; it isn't half as good as: a leg of lamb when you have got it, and the records have shown that you are very likely to kill one'of your own pals in the effort, ' . There is definitely no "sportsman- •• ship" in bagging a deer. EASY STITCHES MAKE. COLORFUL TOWELS When completed, these cross-stitch fruiits resemble checked ging- ham .applique.
