CHAPTER 12
The rest of the party had come
straggling front. the Chamber 01
Mysteries, looking rather more
bored than mystified. Jon told
them all about Gillian's fall. The
dog had not been mail, just a little
touched with the sun. He bad been
captured and locked up.
Sunset deep red above the black
hills, making it a rnefgle road
through the woods. Gillian sat
wedged between Moira and Morton
Ilsley in the rear of the station
wagon, Jon sat across frum her
and his eyes rarely lett her face.
Kindly Jon. Was it tre aeon to him
to feel the way she did?
Jon. drove her back to P.y(lal
House the following morning.
"I don't like the Autumn." Jon
was bent over the wheel, eyes
straining into the grayness. Wet
and sodden Leaves drifted down
and one stuck to a corner of the
windshield, faded and yellow. "1
like the Spring, Gillian. Why can't
it always be Spring?"
"No Autumn; no Spring. There
you have It! Why, Son, I love the
Autumn. It makes me think, and 1
can feet things better and—and
maybe understand myself more
than at ether times."
".You're happy?"
"Yes." She felt a little guilty.
knowing the real, deep-seated
source of her happiness. "I really
am happy, Son."
"I'm so glad you feel like that,
011," he said. "I'll make you happy,
any dear. I'll give you all that you
may have ever hoped for. But let's
make it soon. Let's make it as
soon as ever you can."
"We'll make it soon. Don't be
afraid, Jon. I won't melt or run
away,"
"I love you so. And the days with
you will go by so quickly."
Anselm Meade was not at Rydal
House when they arrived. Ho lied
ah, Hawtry said, and would return
that evening. Jou stayed only a
little while. Ere kissed her lightly
when he was leaving, but in his
tone there was no lightness when
he said, "Don't forget you are
mine new, Gillian, Don't forget that
I love you -and that every hour'
I'll think of you. I don't like to
leave yon even for a little while.
But it's all right, isn't it? Tell me
it's all right,"
"Of course it's all right. Jon,"
For a • tnotnent she too wished
wildly that he wasn't leaving her.
'I'11 be thinking of you too," she
said. "Of only you." And she meant
it then and perhaps believed it
would be so.
In the library Gillian Pound the
big table tittered with books and
maps and Anse's phantom buttal•
ions drawn up in battle array. Site

The bus would be coming soon.
She wauted to talk to _ense, to

Anse always.

her waiting at the corner of the

to Rydal town.

"What ho, Gillian!" He slipped

an arm about her shoulders and
bent his head, his eyes searching
her face as if to read all that had
happened over- the weekend. Well,
she would tell him most of it. 1 -lo
would be so eager to hear.
"Was Deborah very difficult?"
Anse grinned ruefully. "Her life
is to be one of sadness. She will
go, hunted, driven, misunderstood,
down dark and shadowy paths. Her
lot will bo the nobility of sacri-
fice, the bitter-sweet pain of re-
nunciation—she has me talking the
way she does!"
"Well, her way won't be any-
thing of the kind, It's all settled,
Ause. It's to be soon—as soon as
I wish to make it. And there are
just about a thousand things to do,
Jon wanted to see you today, but
it can wait until he comes again."

sweet and bubbling young things
who go from dear mamma's wing
to some man's arms; to any man
who has enough money to pay the
score. This is your life, your hap-
piness, you are talking about so
calmly."
"Isn't it better to talk about it
calmly, in matter-of-fact words,
rather than in blank verse? It's
done, Anse. It's going to be." Her
mouth set stubbornly.
Anse looked at her sideways,
slyly. "Set your jaw and charge
right in. Let 'em have it. Boys of
the old brigade—no, darn it, girls
of the new brigade!" He scowled
blackly, "Not enough spanking
when you were small—that's my

"He was one of the guests --•

are gathering in the apples, is a
splendid time to make the reso-

sons for their good health was the
abundance of apples which they
used, The Canadian apple is the
oldest prescription for health and
beauty. Out 'of apples can be
created an endless variety of
wholesome and delicious treats.
A splendid way to start the day
is with a delicious baited apple or
fried apple rings with bacon. In
salads they offer variety, com-
bined with grated raw carrot,
raisins, cheese, nuts, etc,

Cord of Hardwood Yields Al-
most As Much Heat As Ton
of Anthracite Coal
Research on the fuel value of
wood, conducted in the Forest Pro-
ducts Laboratories of the Depart-
ment of Mines and Resources.
shows that wood. can often be used
to great advantage in reducing
heating costs. Fuel is always a
large item in the Canadian family
budget, and in war time every et -
fort should be put forth to keep
this item of expense at a minimum
and at the same time conserve for-
eign. exchange by reducing the out-
lay for imported fuels.
Tests made in the laboratories
reveal that with good equipment a
cord and a quarter of heavy hard-
woods such as hard maple, yellow
birch, beech and oak will yield as
much heat as a ton of anthracite
coal. A cord of white birch, the
soft maples, the poplars or bass-
wood produces only about 60 to 80
per dent of the heat delivered by
hard maple. For the hest results
wood of any species should be
thoroughly dry before being used
for heating purposes,
Because wood requires much less
air for its proper combustion than
does coal, it is important that
wood-iburning stoves and furnaces
ibe made as air -tight as possible.
The only air admitted should be
through the draughts provided for
that purpose. Linder these condi-
tions the operator will have com-
plete control of combustion and
obtain economy in operation.
If suitable grates and hoppers
are installed and if sufficient space
for fuel storage is available, saw-
dust
awdust can be burned with great sat-
isfaction and economy. It burns
very steadily without much atten-
tion and leaves little ash, a feature
of all wood fuels. Sawdust has long
