He came to tell you that, to try to dissuade You from going through with this idea of marrying Hillyer. And what he said shook yo mato a bit. Now, you look here, young Gillian: you're not going' to rush into a marriage with Hillyer just because you've some crazy no- tion that love is something not to be trusted-" She shook her head. "It's not that, Anse. Not a question of • trust. I think I could trust love well enough. There are other things." "I'll say no mora, Gillian." Jon Hillyer telephoned Gillian to tell her that he had just land- ed at St. Hubert Aerodrome. "And am I glad to be hack, and happy to hear your voice. Tell me, how are you? Is everything the -the same for you and me?" "Yes, Jon." She prayed the telephone would take care of the undertone of doubt, of uncer- tainty in her voice. "I haven't been doing much, waiting for your return. I had planned to go to the city tomorrow." "Mary was a sweet thing until I got her in my clutches with too much tea and coffee. She devel- oped caffeine -nerves. Her eyes faixly Sashed fire all the time. Then some meddler told her what was the matter and per- suaded her to try Postum. and I lost out." Headaches, nervousness and sleep- lessness are the warning signals of caffeine nerves, caused by drinking too much tea and coffee. Delicious and particularly ecdnbmical. Instant Postum is entirely free from caffeine. Made instantly in the cup, there is no fuss, no bother. Ask your grocer for Postum.

AS ISSUE 47--w-'41 _ Y3 "Good, You'll morning train?" "I'll meet you at the station. I love you, Gillian." Anse marched into the hall as she hung up. He had come front the library. "What is it Anse?" "I'm writing to Deborah. I thought perhaps you'd like to take her with you tomorrow." Gillian jumped at the chance. Deborah would be a splendid shock absorber, both in regard to Jon and --there was another prospect, another fear; she might meet Si- mon Killigrew. If she did meet him, ahe wanted others around her. He looked over his shoulder be- fore he went on with his letter:-: and it seems to me, Deborah, that Gillian is quite blind to what she's doing. I think she is falling in love -with a young ratan named Sinton Killigrew but, she intends to go through with marrying Hillyer. I want her happiness more than anything else. 1 know you will help hie. Just how, I don't know, but it may be that you can 'throw her and Killigrew together when you are in Montreal. And mind you, absolute secrecy is the word. My love to you. Anselm Meade. They Meet Again Jon was waiting for them at the station. He managed to hide any chagrin he might have felt at see- ing Deborah. Deborah was happy. Gillian, glad of her presence, let her talk all she wanted to, which was a great deal. "I think it's grand.- your rand-your going into the publishing bus- iness, Jon." "Are we going to see Simon's Printery?" "We have a lot of &topping to "You must see the printery." Jon was quite agreeable. I can't go with you, I'm afraid. But I'll meet you here at five -thirty and we can have dinner together and -well, we can see about tonight." "Shall we go to Simon Killi- grew's now?" Deborah asked in- nocently. Gillian, wanting so much to go, wished still that she were at the other end of the earth. L`ebora.h turned into Beaver Hall Square with a great shrieking of tires. There was a brass plate with the sigh, "Simon's Printery," by the door of an ancient house. Gillian followed Deborah slowly up the steps and into a long ball. Deborah was almost at the top, Gillian still at the bottom, when Sinton Killigrew came in the front door. And she could. hear Simon say, "Gillian'." and notice the way he said it. Gillian prayed he would say no more. He must know she was not alone. She said, "Deborah is with rate. Sinton. You've met Deborah?" "We tante up to buy Gillian's trouseau," said Deb idly, looking at an etcbing but watching him from the corner of her eye. "Yes." Simon's voice sounded hollow. "T suppose you want to look about." "Yes, 11 you please" Deborah poked in her bag said '"Olt. 1 want to go out to the car for a moment.. You might start with Gillian, if you like. 1'il anon eateli up with you."

Simon -Simon. Oh - Simon -let me go. I--1 didn't mean to come here," "There's nothing that can take this from us, Gillian -nothing." He led her over to a davenport. They sat down close together. "You won't give up buying the trous- seau as you planned to do? Only it's for a poor man now." They were still sitting there when Deborah came back. She looked at thein wisely, "So Anse was right! I rattler thougbt so. Are eougratulations in. order?" Gillian stood up and Deborah cattle to her and for a moment they Bele.( eachother close. "We'd better go now, Deb," she said et last. We'll go back to lay - dal tonight. "I'll meet Jou alone for dinner. Simon, will you look sifter the little fixer here?

Simon Killigrew went to his sane• tuns on the top floor of the Prim - tory and sat clown in an old black leather chair t.'nd li.01tell his pipe. Simon had faith and vision and now he felt that he possessed the strength of ten. He went to work with a will. The papers.ancl mania scripts Jeffry Clay had left were still in the' possession of Jeffry's aunt. The old lady was in Eng - 'teed, but had written that slue would be home shortly and would send the material to Simon.

They're excellent, he found out in a golf round With Capt. A. G. Talbot of H.M.S. Illustrious, for chipping incendiary bombs into the sea from an airplane car- rier's decks. Captain Talbot related to Jones how an officer, practising with a niblick when planes attacked, brought the club into effective use by pitching the incendiaries off deck.

Today this figure has been far exceeded, and it is expected that by the end of the year India will Have a million soldiers, writes the London correspondent of The Ottawa Journal. So far as spirit is concerned, this would already be a fact, but numbers of men are controlled by resources to equip them. It is the marvellous expansion of these re- sources that has made the doub- ling of the army possible. Apart from personal equip- ment, the yearly Indian produc- tion of guns is now five times and of completed shells twenty- four times greater than the pre- war output. In personal equip- ment, 30,000 tailors in nine fac- tories are producing 5,000,006 garments monthly, and India's shoemakers are producing 3,000,- 000 pairs of boots. Of 40,000 articles required by ordinance stores, more than 20,000 are al- ready produced, and steps are being taken to produce the re- maining items. TAKE By SADIE B.
