She was watching Gillian as she called and saw a sudden twitching of red lips, an uneasy movement of slender golden shoulders, Simon Killigrew came and stood between her and Moira. To Moira's question, "Were the novels too dull?" he answered, "Dull enough." "More fun out here, I should think," Moira smiled up at him and across at Gillian. "Tell Gillian Meade how to play her cards. She has Morton all upset." "Miss Meade?" Simon's voice had an edge. "Oh, I couldn't advise. I know little about bridge. Any- way I should think she knows how to play her cards." Gillian's eyes darkened. She stif- fened in her chair, but did not look at him. Moira was not too pleased with her handiwork. There was no great malice in her. "Well, if you can't be any help that way," she said, "tell us something of the great books you're going to publish. Morton Isley there tells us you're playing big brother to gent s." "Only when it needs a big bro- ther, Miss Canavan, And I can't always be on hand to play the part. Genius is so much the small boy you've likened it to—trusting quick to give its loyalty and its love, gullible. But it's not tough, and when it is first petted, then kicked aside because, perhaps, it's poor—" Gillian's cards dropped from her hand and fluttered to the table, to the floor. She half rose from her chair. Iler cheeks were chalky white, She saw Jon, who had come in from the billiard room, stop and stare at her, Moira took her arm and froced her to sit down. Ilsley and Sutton, the other man, busied themselves with picking up the • cards. "I think we've had . enough bridge," said Moira. "Let's call it a day." She whispered to Gillian, "Are you all right, my dear?" The blue eyes were wide and angry, "Much you care if I am! You called him here to—to"—she stood up abruptly and hurried out on to the porch, grateful for the coolness, the stillness, the kindness of the night. Doubt Thrust Aside Jon Hillyer came presently and stood beside her. She knew he was troubled. She had seen the amazed look, the bewilderment, in his eyes when she was getting up from the card table. "Gillian!" Jon put his hand on her shoulder and gently made her turn to him. "Tell me what's the matter.

Didn't Killigrew tell them some stuff and wasn't it that which upset you " "Yes." Gillian's voice was quiet, remote. "If you must ' ow, it was that." "Perhaps I can keep him from talking that way. I most certainly can." She shook her head. "You couldn't—couldn't make him stop thinki"g like that. He—Simon Killigrew is down on me because he blames me for what happened to Jaffry. He believes what every- one else believes and Jeffry was his—his friend. Bat it hurts me." "And does it matter so much what, he says? Or thinks? Or does?" She knew it did, that it mattered terribly. "I won't talk about it any more, Jon. He knows what he is about. We'll let things take their course." The next day, Sunday, was ono of Autumn's loveliest. Gillian went riding with Jon. They rode down green, leafy tunnels where the sunlight was dappled gold on the carpet of the forest, where the maples were turning scarlet and the willows gold and the water In the lakes and ponds they pass- ed had the still and dormant look that belongs to the Fall. She felt happy now, all doubt thrust aside. Jon smiled at her as they walked up the steps to the lodge, It had been a good day for him too. He felt sure of life again, sure of love. Let Us Forget He thought of the ring he would buy for her—a great emerald he had seen a few days before. Its green fire would go with her hair —flashing green and deep gold. He thought of the lovely things for which she was starved and his heart was warm at the knowl- edge that he ouold give her all of them. Then he saw young Killigrew sitting alone in a corner of the piazza, a sheaf of manuscript on his knee, a straight -stemmed briar pipe in his mouth, and all the un- pleasantness of last night came back to hirer. He saw Gillian look too and then tura away, and some of the sunshine had gone from her eyes. "Let us forget those old things," he said, stopping' her on the threshold. "Let's put them away, Gillian, forever." She said: "I have forgotten much of the bitterness; So many of the old, dark things forgot." And she smiled up at him, but even then remembered that the lines she had quoted were written by Jeffry Clay. Most of the company stayed over on Monday to go to the fair at St. Cloud, which had begun to at- tract thouands of visitors from the country round tebout. Simon KilU- grew said he would visit the fair for an hour or so to see Jon's horses shown, but that he must leave then for Montreal. Gillian saw Simon Killigrew watching the merry-go-round, per- haps thinking of other fairs, of a young girl beside him. She felt an ache, a wistful yearning In her heart. He looked so lonely there, and so young and so lost—and still so stubborn. "Don't forget," said Jon, "you're to show that bay, Hero, for me. What -ho! Here's Landry looking for me." (To be continued) Saving of Rags Asked By Ottawa William Knightley, director of the national salvage office, ap- pealed for Canadians to save their old rags for use in war in- dustry. "Don't throw away or burn a single scrap of cotton or wool," he said in a statement, explaining there were many and varied uses for rags, the most essential of which was as wipers to keep parts of machiner.y clean, Rags collected at home should be sorted and when they have accumulated local salvage com- mittees will see that the rags find their way to cleaning and re- clamation plant,, and thence to war industry. "We `want all the rags we can get," said Mr. Knightley. .K.,eel A Day Laid • For Z,,Ocean• Navy The Navy has announced that keels for its two•ecean fleet • are being land at the rate of more than one a day and that launchings. of warships are but slightly behind that pace. The Department said that from September 1 to October 3 keels were laid for 38 vessels of all kind's, and added that this was "astounding" progress, Twenty -nib vessels, including one battleship and two cruisers, were launched in the same period. Petain's Tomb Marshal Petain's tomb, according to his expressed wish, is eventual• lY to be at Verdun, at Fort Don - aliment, where the French. soldiers made good his wads: "They shall not pass." The place of the Mar - altars burial is of no real import- tance, although the time of it might have been, But at this stage of history we would remind Marshal Petain that he will not be remem- bered because of Verdun, no mat- ter atter how imposingly the may be bur- led. Ile will bo reniembered, alas, because of Vichy. 1941 has swal- lowed up 1916,—New York Post.

Iron and Steel Scrap Needed William Knightley, national sal- vage director, says in a new appeal to Canadians: "We need all kinds of iron and steel scrap for our industries making various kinds of war materials. A Quebec plant is producing 25 -pounder guns from reclaimed metals, while 500 -pound bomb casings are also being made from such material, On the West Coast a manufacturer of Diesel engines uses a percentage of scrap for cylinder blocks. An Alberta rolling mill turns out knee braces, 'I' bars, angle irons, stanchion rods and ring rods for ships. A Mani- toba smelter converts industrial and farm scrap into shell billets. Ontario mills also are active in reclaiming metals. Metal plates for ship hulls, tanks and gun carriers are being rolled in ever-increasing numbers."

A Hallowe'en Party At Home By: KATHARINE BAKER Hallowe'en is one festival which the youngsters claim for them- selves. The idea of ghosts, goblins, black cats and witches wandering about doesn't seem to appeal to or even frighten adults but the kids love to scare themselves and each other ou this make-believe night. Even if the older children don't• take the horrors of Hallow- e'en seriously, they do like to dress up in weird costumes and celebrate the occasion with a party. Unless parents arrange some sort of a "do" at home for the children of all ages, they are like- ly to wander around the streets gettiug into various brands of mis- chief. So having a home party where the youngsters can be super- vised, is well worth the extra time and work of arranging a party and preparing refreshments. Games for a Hallowe'en party are so standardized that they are no prob- lem. Bobbing for apples is a "must" in the gauzes line as is also this delicious chocolate ca ;e in the re- freshment line. It is topped with an orange frosting to harmonize with the Hallowe'en color scheme. CHOCOLATE FUDGE CAKE 2 cups sifted cake flour 2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder 34 teaspoon salt ee cup butter or other shortening 1 cup sugar 2 squares unsweetened choc- olate, melted 1 egg, well beaten 1 teaspoon vanilla cup milk Sift flour once, meesure, acid baking powder and salt, and silt together three times.

Scoutmaster Vesper, failing to pass the medical test for the Fore - es, joined the Auxiliary Fire Ser- vice with some of his Scouts, and , directed his Scout Crew on the night in question until one was killed and two so badly injured that they collapsed from loss o[ blood. The Scoutmaster took his boys to a first aid post, and returned to the scene and carried on until his hose was torn to. shreds by bomb splinters, Re then joined other firemen. He worked through- out the night and well into the next day, only desisting when his heart failed, and he collapsed.
