ARTHUR CUNNINGHAM SYNOPSIS Beautiful, red-haired Gillian Meade, niece of Colonel Ans- elm Nleade,, wishing to re- , store the rapidly -dwindling family fortune and to provide for her sister, Deborah, prom- ises to merry wealthy Jon Weyer, Afterwards she meets Simon leilligrew, best friend of Jaffry Clay, young poet to whom Gillian had been engag- ed At first Simon blames Gillian for Jeffry's death; later falls in love with her—and Gillian with him. Admitting their love for each other, Gil- lian tells John she can't marry him, then goes to work in Simon's printery in Montreal. Success comes to them when Simon is called to New York —one of their books has been chosen the Book -of -the -Month. While he is away Gillian opens Jaffry Clay's newly -arrived manuscript. And because of what she finds refuses to ac- cept an emerald ring which Simon brings her from the east. CHAPTER 17 But Gillian. could not have lei Simon, put that ring on her finger. not until her hands were free of Jaffry's story. She could not. To- morrow she would wear it with pride. Tonight, when she consigu- ea that thing to the kindly elames, there would be no ring of Simon's on her finger. It was late when Simon left Gil- lian at her apartmeut. He said he was tired after the hurry and ex- citement of his trip. He would go straight home. Site save Simon plenty of time to be on his way, then moved out of the doorway an along the street. She stood for a 'while across the mane from the Printery. She crossed the square than and open- ed the door. She went cautiously upstairs. feeling her way, Finding the manuscript, she laid It on Simon's desk, pulled it from the envelope and carried it to the fireplace. Slue found a book of matches in her pocket and struck one and carried the flame to the tap sheet. It caught slowly, the flame creeping over the black lines, like the tide across the sand, blotting them out forever. Faster, taster, she urged—burn faster. Journal of My Loves—one by one the words ot the title were eaten .awaYe as his name had been .eaten before them. "Thank God!" she whispered. "Thank God, it's due now, and nothing can ever bring it back—" The lights went on. For a tuo. ment, dazzled, she did not realize what had happened. She stood up.' turned sloivly, to meet Simon's startled eyes, "Wire', Gillian Whatever are you doing?" "I was burning—some rubbish. Oh, SOICaE, odds and ends. Nothing Important" "But why in the dark, Gillian? I left my brief ease here and re- membered when I was part way home some things I wanted to look at." The Journal Is Burned "Oh it's nothing, Simon. 1—" her hand flew to her throat, and her eyes dilated and all her life seemed to stop. She could not move, could not speak, could not tear her gaze front the envelope oa Simon's deelt. From where she stood she could see the bold let- ters of the label— "Journal of My Loves." And "Jeffry Clay" below it. Simon walked over to the desk and picked it up. "You beetled the story Jeffry left. You flung it In the fire rather than let me knoW and let the world know what you really were to Jaff Clay, I—it is hard to be- lieve!" bon'tlet baby suffer from head cold one unnecessary moroent.

Now yon can take it, for once and all, from me; 1 burned his story, yes! And if he'd written a thousand like it, I'd have burned them too. And if you think the world Is any worse off for not being able to read the records of a small-time Don Juan, you're making a sad mistake." "I hate you for this," he said: quietly. "You wouldn't have gone; out of your way to lie to me, you wouldn't have 'burned that mann— script if you were not afraid of it, of what it might do to you., you couldn't afford to let it see the light, could you? It accused yon, didn't it?" She said, "I'll go now, !Simon., I-1. suppose that's the only, thing to do." "What else?" He threw the emp- ty envelope •on the desk and loola, ed forlornly at it and at her, "This was why yoa would not take, the ring from me this afternoon,. you had to do this rotten thing first. Then you could have worn, It with what you could call a clear,: eonscience. You have no cone, ecience. no heart, no—" •,. "Bitter things, Simon." Her voiee was soft, "I have to •go. won't come back here, So it'' good-bye, Simon." Back to Rydal She could never remember what Anse said when she groped her way up the dark stairs and into the quiet, comfortable room where he sat surrounded. by his booke! and maps. She became calmer after a little while. She sat there, weak and • spent, With no strength in her, no deeire, no power to straighten out the tangle of her thoughts. She had lost Simon. Tha one thing was fixed in her mind. She said finally: 'It's all over, Anse—between Simon and me."' She laughed. "Jeffry Clay left a manuscript that I read and that I would not have Simou read -1 will not say why. TonighteI burn- ed that manuscript and Simon found out. The title of the book was 'Journal of My Loves.'" "You still care for Simon—You know you do." "I think I'll have to go my way • and let him go his, I -1'm not going back to the printery any more. I can't stay here, Anse. Can't we go back to Rydal?" 'We'll go." "We can't start too eoon to, suit me, Anse." • (To be, continued) • Iceland Almost ' Had Steam Heat It's going to be a cold winter in Reykjavik, capital of Iceland. Despite its name, the little is- land is a regular Yellowstone park of hot springs and steaming' volcanoes. Before the war start- ed, Reykjavik had started. work on a project to pipe the ateam into central heating plants for the city — and maybe hothouses to grow lettuce and some of the other things Iceland has to 'im- port if it gets them at all. German engineers had been building the powerhouses, and deep trenches had been dug in the streets of Reykjavik by the spring of 1940. The steam. pipes „were lying on the docks of Copenhagen, Denmark, ready for shipment. Then came the blitzkrieg. . The German army seized the iron pipe, the British swarmed into Iceland and seized the Ger- _ man engineers—and Reyhjavikers are wondering where they'll even have the money to buy coal, after spending so much on thescheme to use native volcanoes. King of 'Belgians Is Showing Strain An almanac cover picture of King Leopold of the Belgians showed that the 40 -year-old pris- °nor-monarch had grown notice- ably thin since he last was seen with his troops. Belgians were quick to notice the changes in the king's fea- tures when the first picture of him since he capitulated to the Germans last year was released. The photograph, Showing Leo- pold and his three children in the gardens of the Laeken Royal palace, is on the cover of tli,o 1942 almanae put On sale on behalf of chaiitable institutione. It was taken last',June on Prin. cess Josephine Charlotte's con- firmation day and showed the king in dark mufti. Since the king retired to the solitude of Laekeii Palace three miles north of Brussels as a war prisoner, there had been only scant news about his health and activities, There were no public cerernon- ies on Leopold's birthday anniver- eery, November 3, although mass was sung and payera said for in all the churches of Bel- gium. ,;• r, • .

Stitched In Love . . . . Saved Four The story of a girl's message of good wishes that saved an R.A.F. bomber and its crew of four was told by C. R. Attlee, Lord Privy Seal, in a speech at Norwich. The bomber, he said, bad te fly through a lot of flak over Germany, and one of its wings was considerably damaged. The fabric began gradually to come' away from the wing, but the tear- ing suddenly stopped. The pilot made a safe landing, and then found that the stoppage of the tears was causes by some extremely earefull•stitching under which he found a message: "To the airman who will fly' this plane. All good wishes, love and kisses from Sheila,". Sheila was discovered, added Mr. Attlee, and the pilot claimed his kisses, WOMEN'S GLOVES AND MEN'S WRISTLETS Keitted gloves for worsen and wristlets for men offer oulek knitting jobs.
