By the Author of -Pencarrow" By NELLE M. SCANLAN SYNAPSIS Kelly Pencarrow is broken hearted when his uncle Michael offers Gently, his daughter's husband, a share in the Duffield farm. Kelly feels Gentry will not appreciate the gesture. Belly's fa- ther Sir Miles Pencarrow had wanted him to be a lawyer and his other son Pat to be a farmer. CHAPTER 1I Cont'd. No one had dreamt that Pat was a rebel too. They had not bothered much about the likes and dislikes of this fifteen year old schoolboy. His sudden departure camp as a terrible shock. Relief followed the first panic' when a note to his 'nether revealed the fact that he had decided to be- come a sailor. He knew his father would not listen to him, or give his permission, so he had run away. Miles made every effort to get the boy to ccme home, but, once away, It was easy to be firm, His vessel did not come into Wellington again, so Pat was spared a personal inter- view. In the end, when convinced of the lad's determination, Miles was compelled to give an, Patrick Aloy- sius Pencarrow was properly inden- tured for four years to the New 12ealand Shipping Company's ves- sel "Waitangi." Sailing to London by the Horn, and coming out via the Cape, he was the first Pencar- row to return to England, Now Genevieve was showing signs of revolt. Mary had been gentle but firm in her desire to enter a con- vent. Kelly had been silent but stub- born—damned stubborn his father said. Pat just took the matter into his own hands, and did not argue. He went. Genevieve's revolt was incipient, but anyone could see that she had i- deas of her own, advanced ideas not in consonance with her parents. Norah saw it from both sides, and tried to ':eep peace ,among them. Plump and matronly, she had liv- ed her full life of domesticity and so- cial activities without much change. She had mellowed, but neither weak- ened nor hardened under the con- stant friction of later years. To mothers of her period their du- ties were clear-cut and infllexible, and the taint of modernism opened up terrifying prospects. She was shocked at much because she felt it her duty to be shocked. But why be shocked? This was the challenge that Genevieve was constantly fling- ing down. Norah was shocked at her free- dom of speech, her candour. Impu- dence, Sir Miles called it. That a girl should openly demand reasons for her parents' action and opinions was preposterous. Why? That's why. But it was not enough for Gene- vieve. Perplexed, Norah turned to her husband to see ff he could ex- plain why they were objecting. Per- sonally, she felt sure she ought, But Genevieve demanded to know why.

A rush of memories cavae crowding .into his mind as he drove through the wide, hospitable gate. Grannie had insisteu on a wide gats, and a wide door. She said, that a narrow entrance naa a 'grudging look. He saw the orchard flushed witn spring, the early blossoms and the tender leaves almost toc delicate to face the ruthless lash oi the spring storms. The reason for his coming made poignant all this loveliness. He could noc imagine it without her. She was woven into the very fibre of it. At every turn he saw her hand at work, her thoughts and hopes and love were embroidered on the very surface of the land she had come to as a bride more than half a century before. It was then a new and savage land. She had given it the priceless example of her., courage, and her faith, which was to be seen in the simple, great accomplishments ar- ound her. ' When the warning was sounded to the little clan that Bessie Pencarrow This prospect, the aerona•itical sec- tion great little Grannie, was nearing tion of the American Association for the end, Norah went out weeping.

Now Kelly had come "She is sleeping," Kitty said, as This recurring way of Genevieve's she met him at the door irritated her father also.

Ii. Kirksten, professor of aeronautical engineering at the University of Washington, word he could silence the others, but Genevieve persisted. "It's not ladylike." Genevieve laughed. "How dare •you laugh!" snapped Miles. "Oh, I'll dare a lot more than that" As she drove to the station to meet Kelly her mind was busy running o- ver the things she must tell him, He would want to know much all at once the things you can't put in letters. As he stepped from the train, she, thoughthe looked older, yes, distinct- ly older. And thinner. 'How is she?" he, asked anxious- ly. "Just keeping • herself alive until you come. The doctor said she could not last, but I knew she would. She is marvellous. "Poor Grannie! It doesn't seem possible. She was always...." His voice trailed away. Kelly found it difficult to express in words his troubled emotional soul. • They drove on in silence. A wet wind came whipping across the har- bour with a searching cold that was more penetrating than the hard frost of the mountain country. The sky was grey, and a "gloomy shadow hung over the city. The Hutt Valley, green under the veiling• misty rain, opened before them. The familiar road was crowd- ed with associations that linked him with the old Pencarrow home. 'Has—halve any of the others come, Kelly asked, as they left Petone be- hind. . Genevieve knew what he meant. "Uncle Michael and Ella came down three days ago and Aunt Hes- ter is over from the Sounds." Apparently Philip Gentry has stay- ed at Duffield. That was what he wanted to know. Kelly's mind was a tumult. Not since his defiant departure to make his own way had he been back to Wellington or the Hutt From the annual gathering of the Pencarrow clan each Christmas, Kelly was ab- sent. It was a special grief to his APAGE FROM MY DIAUY by r.c,2 I am a fair-minded guy, I reckon, in spite of what people sometimes say about speed -cops.

"Your father and Robin are com- ing out again this evening." Kitty thought it better he should realise that he must inevitably ,meet them all here at Grannie's bedside. "How is Father?" Kelly asked. `He's well, but—different." Kelly understood, and knew that she blamed him. "And Robin?" he asked . Kitty's eyes lighted up at the mention of Robin. 'He is such a darling, Kelly. Not a bit grown-up, and yet he has only his final examination to pass" A momentary twinge of envy dar- kened his mind. Here was ' he, Sir Miles Pencarrow's eldest son, a pen- niless farm hand, and his cousin, Robin Herrick whose father had been a failure, and ended by keeping a countey-pub, had stepped into itis: place as Sir Miles' successor. Yet it was. his own fault. He knew that. He had sacrificed everything to go his own way. He suspected there had' been a lot cf talk about his coming. Would Gra- nnie insist upon a reconciliation be- fore she died? Would Kelly, who was devoted ti, her, refuse such a last re- quest, Would Philip Gentry come to the Hutt? Would the gallant little wo- man still exert her influence over •them from the grave, binding them by promise of forgiveness? Of course they had talked of it. Norah and Kitty had spoken of it every day since Grannie's illness. "I'm sure it is worrying about Kel- ly that makes Miles so difficult. He imagines that all his children are determined to disobey him, and that Kelly is at the bottom oi it. If only we could talk it over quietly, but they can't. Kelly is so obstinate. He won't say a word, and it drives his father to fury. Genevieve answers him back, and I believe he likes ' it better."

Professor Kirksten outlined the es- sential feature of this new type air- craft as resembling nothing so much as the time -tested ferry boat propelled with paddle, wheels. Air instead of water would constitute its ocean. Dealing with the characteristics of cycloidai aircraft and their perform- ance and stability in flight, Professor Kirksten reached the conclusion: 'Idling cycl• oidal propellors should be superior to fixed wings In standard gliders of, airplane form. • Cycioidal aircraft offer advantages for military duty in that there are no wings to obstruct the view or to interfere with machine guns. The cycloidal propel- lor has the important advantage of being noiseless. "There seems to be no reason why this type cannot excell the airplane in any.. manoeuvre now performed."

The task of the pilot has increased greatly during the shift to the new analysis meteorology in which he is rapidly becoming adept, Allen said.

Wealth From Canada's Mines Ottawa.—Total dividends and bon- uses paid by the Canadian mining companies during 1933 are estimated., by the Department of Mines to amount to $30,000,000, compared with $26,- 500,000 in ,1932. • These totals are ex- clusive of dividends paid by petroleum companies, and are also exclusive .of stock dividends. Metal mining com- panies contributed • 91. per cent. of the total dividend disbursement in 1933. Gold dividends made up 67 per cent. of the 1933 total paid by all, mines, and 74 per cent, of that paid by metal mines. The aggregate total of divi- dends paid in 1933 was approximate- ly 13.6 per cent. of the value of the mineral output for the year. It is estimated that total divi lend pay- ments by Canadian mines in 1934 will ;probably exceed $50,000,000 FALS- Ds WERNETS.._VOWDE ' Sold the world over --Dr, Wernets Powder --justly called "the perfect powder—holds false plates firmer for , hours Monger, 'Leaves, no sickening gutn iy` paste—teeth fit so snugly yet combottablyy they feel like ,• natural ones, PresetlbE 1 by world sl lea7hng dentists— .sprinkle cm, Inexpensive -any drugstore • Issue No, "29--)34 Gold mines naturally play a large part in the production of new wealth from Canada's mining industry.

Dignity, Elegance Return to Dress NOTED BACHELOR SEES WANE OF THE CARELESS MODE PARIS—Says the most fastidious of Paris bachelors, M, Andre de Fouqu- ieres: "Parisians definitely are aban- doning that devil-may-care attitude in dressing, and are returning to the dignity, grace and elegance of other days." 'Andre's brother, Becq de Fouqu- ieres, is the "Chiet of the Protocol" and regulates the deportment of pre- siden,ts, ambassadors, ministers • and even kings on occasions bringing them here. Andre sets the style for unof- ficial folk when it comes to fashion and social, custom, "Formal evening attire," continues the perfect bachelor. "is the sole at-, tire which is correct for a big din-' ner, a soiree, or a gala ball, and it steadily is resuming its vogue here.; To be well-dressed is an expression of optimism, and also a nourageous manner of combatting the crisis. To be well-dressed" gives confidence to oneself and to, others; it cheers and beautifies the atmosphere and clari- fies the sky. We must defend Paris against the bad taste and pretentious ugliness of the hooligans who ; go about hatless, either to save money, or to avoid saluting women whom they encounter. We must protect Paris against such vulgar ensembles as gray trousers, a green vest, a red muffler, a brown coat, a black and orange. checker" suit." The dinner jacket, he concludes, "is a masterpiece of vulgarity and ugliness when worn at a taehionable soiree," Tails and a; high hat only, harmonize with the beauty' of 'feral - nine finery for evening. Urges Nudism F . r Children : Vast Aid in Education Hills- dale Professor Contends • Iowa City, Ia.—Nudism has an educational value for the young and growing child, Dr. ,David M. Trout," professor of psychology 'at Hillsdale College, Hillsdale, Mich., asserted in a prepared address delivered before the Iowa conference on child de-, velopment. Children should have the oppor-, tunity to see persons hide until they learn fully the anatomical differ- ences," Dr. Trout said, He further declared that it ,is un- wise to require a child to say prayers, or to force any concept of God upon •" him. He pointed out that children under ' six years of age were unable to eon-' ceive of God as a reality, and that if 1 ideas were forced; upon then they( were most likely to become confused. ' "If a child asks his mother, 'What .becomes of us when we die?' the an- • swer should be, 'We are just dead mother should explain that it is 'just like when you are asleep.'" Dr. Trout advised parents to en- courage the "lies" told by small chil- dren, "Before the fifth year," he said, "the child is unable to imagine time or distance accurately, and for that reason the tales he tells are not lies but the products of an awkward im- agination. ,Parents should treat this story telling as a game, and help the child play it."
