Realizing that the family fortune is nearly exhausted, Gil- lian accepts wealthy Jon Hiliyer's proposal of marriage, although she does not love him. At a house party at Jon's she meets Simon Kiifigrew, best fiend of the late Jaffy Clay, a poet to whom Gillian had been engaged. Simon blames Gillian for Jaffry's untimely death. When Gillian is thrown from one of Jon's horses, it is Simon who picks her up, at the same time ma rmuring his love for her. Gil- lian returns home, and Somons words of love remain in her mem- ory. HAPTER 13 Jon was called to Winnipeg. Gillian felt strangely relieved to know that he would be gone for a fortnight. She met Killigrew one chill night of early autumn, by the shores of Rydal Water. They looked at each other in silence for a long, long time—for what seemed an eternity. Then he said, "I had to come, Gillian. I—I stayed away from you as long as I could." "It's no use, Simon," she said. "Yeti should not have come. I should not have let you see—" !J "That you feel the same way?" 'We'll have no more of 'should not's" Gillian. I love you. 1 think T must have loved you from the moment I saw you." 'Strange way you have or showing it." "I know. I was--'; "Don't mind me. The things you said didn't hurt me, Simon. What did hurt was that you were the one who said them." "They were not trl.L. Will you tell me what is true in the story tP you and poor Jeffry? You could set me right, Gillian." Sao ;roiled queerly. "But that''.: just it. I couldn't set you right." "You mean that there is truth." "Not the kind of truth you speak of. What is there is buried with him. It can never be disinterred now—not even for this." "Not even for our love?" "I'm going to send you away Sinton," she saki softly. "This time you are not to come back to me." "And you will go ahead and mar- ry Jonathan Hillyer?" "Just as I planned to do." "I love you, Gillian." "That's what you think. It isn't really so. I (night tell you that there is nothing in my life that I need to be ashamed of. I can tell you that." She frowned in be- wilderment. 'But do you believe ane?" "Of mune I believe you," Simon Pleads His Cause "Right now you do. For a while you would. Then you would remem- ber the old stories the old thoughts you had of me. And pres- ently you'd begin to ask me with your eyes. to watch ane and to speculate, and then you'd question nae with words. You'd nag at me to tell me about Jeffry Clay and Erie. And I couldn't tell yon. --do you hear?" "But it's not true—oh, I hate myself for asking you this—it's not :rue that he went to pieces because you threw him over??" "He said, 'If you throw me oyes•, Gillian, I won't go on living. I'll drink myself to death ---that's a pleasant way. Atul you can always BOOKS BY MAIL Postage prepaid on all orders.

She luaghed then. "I had. Take it for what it's worth." "Mere—there's more. Some rea- son—" "There is no more. You're the only one I've told. I tell it to yoa so you'll hate. me again—if you ever loved me. Oh, no, no! 1 don't mean that, Simon. Whatever you think of me, don't hate me." "I love you, Gillian. Nothing yon may do, nothing yoa have done can make any difference." "As your enemy I can love you; as your wife, I might get to hate you. I think of that, Simon. It's been ail on your side so tar. Think it I should hate you as you hated ate." "Still I'd love you. -Let's forget. all that's gone before. Let's begin again, you and I, Gillian." "It I could believe that it would be that way, l'd go with you to- night, Simon." "Come with me, Gillian. Come with me!" He took her roughly in his arms and stained her close, close to him, and buried his face in the golden thickness and fragrance of her hair. His lips were on hers. She clung to him when at last he let her go. "Naw -now will you come?" Gillian ran then, eluding him. She heard him call, "Gillian, Gil- lian!" There was a note from hien wait- ing for her in the morning when she fame downstairs, Anse Is Worred (She pounced upon the note. yet she was afrad to open. it. There must be no more between tem.

He had written from the Rydal Arms last night— "Gillian, darling Gillian: I have just returrred from Rydal Water, from what I find It hard to realize was not a dream. Why did you leave me like that? Don't you know you cane never escape me now? What seemed to stand be- tween us does not matter now -- nothing matters save this—I love you. Simon." Slowly she read and reread it, and folded it and returned it to its envelope. "Yost will not come hack, Simon," she said. "We've known all that we will ever know of love. It has to be enough." She longed now for Jon's re- turn, To Anse who was waiting for her at the breakfast table, she said, "i'1.1 be going up to the city tomorrow, Anse. 1 want to make a start on my trousseau and i'nc going to inane a whirlwind job of it.

"Just why are you rushing things with Hillyer? I know. You can't fool pie. There's something push- ing you, something that you're afraid of. By gosh, it's young Kin ligrew!

Too Many Women Die of Home Burns More than 1,600 women die each year from burns resulting from accidents in the home, says the Institute of Life Insurance, in New York. More than half of these deaths are from fire in furnaces, stoves or fireplaces. Some are working at stoves, some warming thein- selves, hermselves, some lighting fires. This group includes such cases as those where women used an apron to lift a hot kettle, the apron catch- ing fire. The second most important cause is flammable liquids for lighting fires, dry cleaning clothes, polishing stoves, or have big then too near the fire.: One-: fifth of all deaths are from this cause. About one-tenth of women's:;._ deaths from burns are caused by cigarettes and matches, Clnitii being smoking in bed and ltglit='— ing dark closets with matches. The balance of burn deaths among women included shower baths, moving or upsetting hot liquids, bonfires in yards, oil lamps, electrical appliances and - candles. In practically all cases these deaths are preventable and life insurance then urge women to exert every precaution iu connec- tion with fire, to reduce this an- nual toll.

Thc' meat or chicken potpie of today is a modern versien of those early em trees. The traditional apple pie .was dever)ped many years later. With the innovation of the chiffon pie, a new pastry becomes• very popular. Cereal crumbs, combined with sugar and melted batter, are the basis of an unbelted pie shell, which has no egral in flavor. ,'oday we find there are nearly as many flavors of the Chiffon pie as o'£ ice Cream; berry, lemon, or Inge, lime., apricot, pineapple, Chocolate, pumpkin, cocoanut fluff, pecan custard, cider nut, coffee — teee list is practically limitless.

This means that each ton shipped takes up 20 per cent less space and represents an increase of 20 per in food value, he added. British Arsenal Wonder of World Britain Stores Ammunition in Gigantic Stone Quarries Out of giant stone quarries lice feet underground engineers have carved Britain's greatest ammuni- tion storage depot—au arsenal de- scribed by one high-ranking offic- er as "the eighth wonder of the world." It has nine miles of avenues and bays, stacked high with bombs, shells, boxes of TNT and cordite end cases of smaller ammunition, Into this secret reservoir pour the products of munition factories of Britain, Canada and the United States. They are stored here under ltd to 100 feet of rock, impervious to bombs, until they are required on the widespread fighting fronts. This enormous arsenal is equip- ped with underground railways and sidings, connected directly to a main -line railway, miles of con- veyor belt., underground power stations, emergency military head- quarters, telephone exchange, bar- racks, canteens and an air-condii- tiouiug plant. Long before the war broke out military authorities realized plans must be made to store huge quan- tities of explosives out of reach of bombs. This place was chosen aft- er an exhaustive survey carried out in 1934-35. ' The project started in 1936 with removal of 1,000,000 tons of rubble, leaving great underground galler- ies supported by pillars of stone. Acres of stone floor were laid iu coucete. Pillars were reinforced with cement and a network of stool - girders, The cost was $1)0,000 an acre. lit one section divided into walled -up compartments it ran to $225,000 an acre. The arsenal is still being extend- ed until it can store and Itandle 225,000 tons of ammunition. 75,000,000 Japs Face Food Problem Because of the increasingly dif- ficult food problem, Japan is turning a large part of her silk producing mulberry orchards into grain fields and drastically cut- ting production of rice, wine, to- bacco and tea.
