Realizing that the family fortune is almost exhaust- ed, Gillian accepts wealthy Jon Hillyer at a house porty in his luxurious home at Lac St. -Cloud. Here she meets Simon Killigrew, best friend of the late Jeffry Clay, the young poet to whom Gillian had been engaged. Killigrew blames Gillian for Clay's untimely death and GIlian suddenly realizes that what Simon thinks matters ar great deal to her. She tries to conquer her growing love for Simon. HAPTER 11 Jon's trainer wanted him at the boxes. "I'll be only a few min- utes, Gillian. I'll find you with our party." "Right!" She waved him away, but when she turned from watch- ing his tall, spare figure disappear in the crowd, she saw the last of the house party, Sir Bates Eyston, shepherding the rest into the Chamber of Mysteries. Only Simon Killigrew was left. She forced her- self to look up at him calmly and smile an impersonal smile and say, "We seem to be two strays from the flock. Jon left me to go see one of his horses that's gone lame and the rest have vanished into the Chamber of Mysteries." "Would you like to go there, too?" She shook her head. "Thank you, no. I like to stand here and watch the crowd." The dark eyes were searching her face, studying her, trying, it seemed, to look into her soul. She gave him, at last, look Tor look, and for a moment, barriers down, they saw each other. He said then, his voice a bit unsteady. "I can see why a man would—" Her look stopped hire, the kind- ling darkness in her eyes. " We won't quarrel again, you and I." she said. "I don't like to be hated. Not by you. I don't like to think that all I'll ever have to remember of you is that you despised rue. I'm going now to find Jon." She turned from him before be could speak and walked as quickly as she could through the crowd. She met Jon. coining from the horse stalls. He said "Its almost time for you to ride Hero, Gil. Do you feel up to it? You look a bit tired." "Oh, I'm all right. Sure I'll ride him." She would be glad to ride Hero. It would give her something to do, something to think about. "Hero's a bit nervous in. front of a crowd," Jon cautioned her. "Good luck, Gil." The bay was a splendid animal, bigaboned, rangy, built for stay- ing taying power as well as speed. Gil- lian sat hire well. She knew that Jon meant to give her Hero for her Ogden's is my brand! own when they were married. She whispered. "We'll have good times together, Hero, you and I. We'll be great friends, eh?" An Accident Hero stepped proudly into the ring before the judges' stand. He wasn't hard to manage. He seem- ed to enjoy the spotlight. She put him through his paces. She had almost forgotten about Simon Killigrew. She saw him standing by the rail, gazing up at her thinking bitterly, no doubt. how well she looked on Jon Hill- yer's fine horse, thinking that she was happy because she was get- ting what she wanted. Then, like a squall, a great hubbub swept up around her --screams of women and shouting of men and . the trampling of feet. Hero reared high, his neck arched, his eyes rolling wildly. She ca,ught a glimpse of a great black dog ,an Alsatian, with red eyes and slavering jaws, fought wildly to quiet Hero who began to buck. She heard the dog snapping, snarling at his heels. He lashed out and began to rear wildly. Then she was off. She hit the ground, lay face down, shielding her head with her arms, eyes clos- ed tightly, the horror of those flailing hooves, of those foam - crusted jaws, looming all about her. She felt the clasp of strong hands. She was snatched up light- ly, easily, as if she were a tot. She was held in a powerful, com- forting embrace. "Gillian," she heard. "Darling Gillian!" She did not open her eyes. She thought it would be nice to keep them closed forever, to hear for- ever in her heart the urgent ten- derness of that voice. Darling— She knew he had carried her through a break in the rail. She' opened her eyes slowly anal, looked up into his, loving the concern in then, the fear in their clear brawn depths. "Are you all right?" he asked. "You're not hurt?" Darling Gillian She shook her head. "Not hurt, thank you. I can make out all right if you'll just set me dawn." She stood, resting her Land on his shoulder. Jon carne hurrying through the crowd from the judges' stand. She said, "Is Hero all right?" "Be hanged with Hero! IIow aro you? The brute might have tram- pled you to death," "But he didn't." She looked from Jon's anxous eyes to Simon Kilii- grew's thin, brown visage, expres- sionless now. "Splendid the way you dashed in there, Killigrew, and pulled Gil- liria out from under," said Jon. "It's a great debt I owe you. df anything had happened to her—" "And I must thank you for sav- ing my life." Gillian's eyes were mischievous. "I too am in your debt for always." He looked briefly at both of them then looked away. "You awe rite nothing," he said stiffly. "I'm glad you weren't injured, Miss .Meade." "Yes—yes, I know how glad you are." Gillian spoke softly. "I know how much it means to you," "What are you—" he stopped, shut his lips tightly. "I think I'll WINDOW LICENCE CERTIFICATE being issued by the Wartime.

They are a life-saver now. Sweden, though neutral, finds her imports of oil and gasoline cut- off. Today her motor vehicles run fairly well with gas made from, charcoal from her forests, says a correspondent of the Christian Science Monitor. Lubricating " oil is being made from wood tar. Cloth is being made from cellulose, an- other forest product. Sweden's fam- ous pulp mills cannot make paper, for there is no foreign market, but" they can and do make feed out of moss, leaves and even pine needles. IChoolate Pudding )3y.

TABLE 'ALC" By SAUlE B, CHAMBERS Seasonal Pumpkin 4.s the time draws near to the season of Hallowe'en, that much beloved season of all the younger householders (and many older ones too), the attention is focus- ed on the golden pumpkin, Most people may think merely of pre- serving it in its simplest fashion, to use as a pie filling in the less fruitful days to come, but there are many interesting things which can be done with it and here are a few of them. Pumpkin Pumpkin Sugar Lemons Ginger Peel and halve the pumpkin, Take out the seeds and cut into thick chips. For each pound of pumpkin allow 2 cups sugar and OA cup lemon juice. Place chips in a deep earthen ware dish and sprinkle each layer with a layer of sugar, Put the lemon juice over the whole. Let this remain for a day; then boll together, al- lowing 1 cup water to each three pounds of sugar, 1 tablespoon bruised ginger tied in muslin bags, and the shredded peels of the lemons. When the pumpkin becomes tender, turn the whole into a stone jar and set away in a cool place for one week. At the end of that time pour the syrup off the chips. Boil down until rich and thick; then pour over the pumpkin and seal. This makes a 'delicious sweetmeat. Pumpkin Honey 5 clips sweet pumpkin 5 cups sugar 2 arranges Put some peeled pumpkin through the food chopper; stew and measure. Add sugar, grated rinds and pulp of the oranges and cdok very slowly until clear. Pour into glasses and cover. Another method: Take ripe, yellow pumpkin and cut in large pieces, Peel and scrape out all Chips New Plane Minus Tail and Fuselage United States Army Air Force officials were reported authorita- tively to be keenly interested ht a new "flying wing" radically different from current airplanes and believed to holt the promise of revolutionizing aircraft design. The plane, under test in Cllfli- fornia, lacks both fuselage and tail and is literally a "flying wing." Brief information on it, • including a sketch, was disclosed by a patent office .publication, but officials said details had been classified as confidential and placed in the secret ,patent' files. . The craft is propelled by two flat pusher -type engines which. are built into the wings. Movable tips of tete wings serve as rudder and ailerons.' The cabin is in the centre, and a gun turret has been placed atop each wing. In appearance, it resem- bles a seagull. Aviation designers have been working for two decades or mere on tailless planes which, in theory, should be capable of moth higher speeds and greater manoeuvrability than contra.. tional craft.

Sidewheeler It is. interesting to note that the first steamship in Canada, the Accommodation, was built in Montreal by Hon. John Molson, and was launched in 1809. She was a vessel of eighty-five feet • in length and originally was pro- vided with berths for twenty pas- sengers. A steam engine of Eng- lish manufacture propelled her open, double -spoked, perpendicu- lar sidewheels. Her maiden voy- age was from Montreal to Quebec on November 3, 1809, which dis- tance was covered in sixty-six hours.

Mother Nature Throws A Party Nature is a prodigal, yet, as a rule, she has ulterior motives in her prodigality, observes The New York Times. If in Spring she gives the fruit tree more blossoms than the tree can possibly use, it's to make sure of luring the pollinat- ing bees. If in the Fall she pro- duces more seed than any plant needs to perpetuate its species— more, indeed, than can ever find foothold in the soil and room to grow—she may have in mind the welfare of the birds, the chip- munks, the human race and other granivorous creatures that want their breakfast cereal. But her Autumn extravaganza of color seems to be an. exception to the rule. Apparently the October outburst has no special meaning and serves no useful purpose. What good it does to the plants themselves the biologists have not been able to discover, It seems to be just one of those generous things, like sun- sets umsets and rainbows and northern lights, that Nature in her exuber- ance yields as bonuses to keep animate creation thinkiug well of • its earth and glad to he alive. Just now she is throwing a party to which all are invited, If those who attend get comfort and peace and new faith and courage and vision out of it; if they are uplift- ed plifted in spirit and even a bit intoxi- cated by what they see, perhaps that's the intention.
