Phone 90. TheWayofThese Women by E. PHILLIPS OPPEI4iEIM i (Continued from last week) "Not while the world lasts, dear ane," she. murmurers, "And yet - and yet --I" "If you will' only finish your sent- ence," he begged, "I feel that I shall have the answer to a little riddle which is puzzling me sorely." "1VLy sentence,"' she whispered, "is better unfinished. Now here comes everybody and I know you're going to hate it all." Sybil's words were prophetic. Sup- Aer was served at a great round table in the middle of the restaurant. Jer- myn was placed at some distance from Sybil, between Mrs. Levenden and an exceedingly lively young wo- man of American extraction, who was appearing in a popular musical coon- edy, and to whom he wttapparently expected to devote. himself. Jermyn had never heard the name • of the show in which she was performing and she had never heard of Jermyn. After the first few sentences conver- sation fell flat. It was, indeed, a rather difficult situation for him. Ev- erybody called everybody else by their Christian names, and a peculiar sort of freemasonry seemed to exist between them all and to form the foundation for the conversation. Jer- myn did his best at first to talk to his heighbprs, but he found the task almost hopeless. They belonged toe different world and they spoke a dif- ferent 'tongue. Elven their manners were strange to him. As time went on, everyone became riotously gay. Sybil, between Gerald and one of his particular cronies, was altogether the centre of attraction. Her laugh was continually" heard. She talked with everyone, she even whispered some- times to Gerald. Gradually -Jermyn began to feel as though he were a skeleton at the feast. Mrs. Leven - den, who, outside her intimate knowl- edge of the stage, was rather a stun. id woman, had given up trying to make conversation with him.. The American beauty at his right ,was engaged now, in a desparate flirtation with a young compatriot a few places away. Magnum after magnumof champagne had been opened, the table was hung with tobacco smoke. Several of the men and even one or two of the girls, were making quite as much noise• as was seemly. A - maitre d'hotel had brought in a huge box of crackers, and Sybil, amidst ap- plause, had placed upon her head a little vivandiere's cap. Some one drank her health. She stood up and kissed her hands across the table to him. Suddenly, almost for the first time, she caught Jermyn's eye. For a single moment it seemed to him, as though a mask had fallen from her face, as though her little glance was an ilnploring one, as though she were calling to him to take her away, that it was all a bad dream, that some ev- il spirit had taken possession of her.

Then, as swiftly as it had come, the po'k passed away. ,She was once more the gayest of those present, laughing with every- body, the presiding deity of the feast. When at last they rose, Jermyn with difficulty made his way to her side. Her face yeas a little flushed; she looked up at him, as he came, with a quiver almost of apprehension. "Sybil," he pleaded, "don't go to this dance. Let me drive you home." Again she seemed to hesitate; the mask slipped. Then Gerald came up and swept her away. "You're in box number five, sir," he told Jermyn, "with• Miss Cluley and me, ''but she's engaged to me for the ride down. We are going to try my new coupe. There are plenty of cars outside if you haven't your own. We shall all meet in the Vestibule." Jermyn stood quite still and watch- ed then pass him. He saw Gerald hand Sybil into the little coupe, which headed the procession of cars. She never looked back As the coupe swept round the courtyard, however, on its way out, he fancied that he caught a gleami of a white face peering anx- iously in his direction. He took a quick step forward. When it passed him again, however, his heart sank. Ilt was surely a mask! Sybil was leaning back amongst the cushions, laughing heartily. One or two of the others spoke to him, pointing out the cars which Ger- ald had engaged. 'Mrs. Levenden, in- deed, seemed almost to expect his es- cort. Jermyn, however, with a mur- mured word of excuse, managed to escape. He made his way out into the Strand and, turned westwards. Llerm'yn paused for a few moments on the steps of his club, but finally unlade his way directly homeward. It was solitude which he needed, soli- tude' free from even the change of un- welcome interruptions. He let himself in with a latchkey and met Roberts in the hall, carrying a small silver tray. The man came forward to as- sist him. F`'Her ladyship, sir,"."Roberts an- nounced, "is not feeling very well. I was taking her •up some brandy." Jermyn raised his eyebrows. 'Where is her maid?" "Her ladyship found that Annette was suffering from neuralgia and sent her t'o bed early," theman ex- plained. "I was just wondering, sir, whether it would be as well to have one of the other young women wake" tried." "Where is her ladyship?" Jermyn asked. " "In her 'boudoir, • sir," 'Roberts told hint "She only returned a few min- utes ago." "I will see whether any assistance is necessary," Jermyn said. "You can give me the tray." Very slowly he mounted the stairs and knocked at the door of her sitting room. Lucille was lying upon the couch, still fully dressed. She open- ed her, eyes and turned her head wearily, but sprang up when she saw who it was. "Jermyn!" she exclaimed. He set the tray down upon the table. . "I saw Roberts in the hall as I came in," he remarked a little stiff- ly. "He told me that you were not feeling well and that you had sent your maid to bed." The color was gradually returning. to her cheeks. She raised .herself slightly upon the couch. , "It is very kind of you to come and inquire," she said. "May I have just a sip of that brandy? I am real- ly' quite all right now, though." He handed her the tumbler. "I felt just a little faint when I carne in," she explained. "We played' too much bridge after dinner, and the rooime were so close. Then I re- membered that I had sent Annette to bed and it annoyed me. I alit really quite all right now." He stood by her side looking dawn at her. She was still wearing. her wonderful gown but, she had removed her jewels, which were lying upon the table. "Are you sure that you wouldn't. care to have one of the parlour maids sent for?" he asked. "Or, I dare say that Annette is well enough to get up and help you now." She shook her head. "It really isn't necessary. I shall be able to manage for myself quite well, Sit down for a moment, won't you?" She stretched out her hand and drew a low chair close to the side of the sofa. Then she glanced up at him and their eyes ,mei, "Please sit down," she begged. He obeyed at once. She took his hand between hers. "I am cold," she murmured. "1 wonder why 1 amu so cold."

Tell me where you have been?" "To a supper party at the Milan." "Amusing?" "I am afraid I didn't find it so," he. replied. A queer little flicker of sympathy parted her lips. 'In a sense she re- alized that she was responsible for his depression. Then her thoughts wandered away again. "Do you ever feel tired, too, Jer- myn -so tired that every bone in your body aohei, and your heart aches, and your eyes are hot, so hot and tired that sleep seems an im- possibility, so tired that you haven't even the courage -4-Y She broke off ,abruptly in the mid- dle of • hes• sentence. / oAh! but of course you don't feel like that, she continued, "and I don't want you to.,It's stupid of me, isn't it, to be so dull just when you happen to have come in to see me. But I am tired to -night -I am so tired." There was something intensely pit- iful in her slowly -uttered words, in the longing which she could not keep outs,• of her face. Jenmiyn felt once more that little lunrlp in his throat. Once more the hateful realization of his callous brutality seemed to seize hold of him, to stir in his conscious- ness and in his heart a multitude of surging emotions. He bent over her. "Won't you let me " He stopped short. "Won't d let you what?" she ask- ed, a little breathlessly. "Would you like me • to carry you into your room?" She held out her arms. Her smile was one of absolute self -yielding, yet it had in it something 9f her old bril- liancy: He lifted her up; amazed to find how light site was. Then he op- ened the door and passed into the in- ner chamber for the first time since their marriage. "Put me down upon the bed please," she begged. "I .am going to rest there for a few minutes 'before I un- dress." He obeyed her, 'but her arms still held him, although her eyes were closed. Suddenly she opened them. Her fingers gripped his, holding him with amazing force. There was a light in her face unlike anytliing he had ever seen in his life. "Jermyn!" she pleaded. "Jermyn!" Her long arms were wound around "him now with almost frantic force; "`One word," she faltered= "one touch!" The wave of pity reached his heart. He stooped and kissed her upon the lips. CHAPTER XLI "For a two -year -elder you are much too •exhausting for a hot morning," Jermyn declared, setting down his boy upon the stone balcony. "There, run along to nurse." The Child showed signs of object- ing, but his nurse quickly caught him up' and disappeared. -Jermyn remained for a moment, looking eut over the gardens, radiant now with all the perfumed perfection of spring flowers and foliage. There were beds of won- derful pink and white hyacinths, long borders of yellow crocuses, with pat- ches of anemones and banks of daffo- dils. In a corner where the sunshine lingered longest the early roses were breaking into blossom, and in the dis- tance was a delicate cloud of pink and white blossom from the walled fruit garden - The master of Annerley drew a little sigh of content before he passed through the open windows in- to the small morning roomy where breakfast was arranged at' a round table drawn up close to the balcony. "Her ladyship is not down yet?" he asked Roberts, who was standing at the sideboard. "Not yet, sir," the .man replied. "The gong has gone twice." Jerinyn shook out the letters front his post -bag and ran them through at first carelessly enough. Then he stop- ped short. Even after three years the sight of Sybil's handwriting was not without its effect upon him. He glanc- ed at the foreign postmark, at the name of the hotel on the outside of the envelope. Then he opened it al- most eagerly and settled down to read it. It was dated front a town in the far west of America: "My Dear Jermyn, -Your cables and letters of congratulation to Mary and Gerald have been more welcome than T can ever make you upderstand. 'They have made all the difference so far as 1 am concerned, and have tak- en quite a load off my mind. Knowing them both as well as I do, Jermyn, you can imagine what joy it gives me to realize absolutely their love for one another. I"We seem, somehow, at the other end of the world, but I cannot tell you how happy we all are. Gerald espec- ially is delightful. He and Mary insist upon taking my whole tour with me. We have a private car and go from place to place, and really I think w,e all .behave like a party of children. Gerald and Mary go sight-seeing at every opportunity and always come back with a wonderful account of their wanderings. I have, unfortun- ately to spend a great deal of time in the theatre, as the audiences out here like •plenty of variety, and we have to change our program continually. I dare say you sometimes see the pa- pers and you know that America has been much too kind to mre. I have had heaps of off"ers to stay on here =well, nearly for the rest of my 'na- tural life; or my working life at any rate. But we are all coming back di- rectly this tour is finished. "I am writing you in great haste for this mail, Jermyn, because half an hour ago I received a letter from your wife which puzzled me and has made me just a little uneasy. To ex- plain it I must tell you something: Three years ago, in London, she paid me a visit which I dare say she has never told you about; there was, in - Catarrhal Deafness and lleado Noises TELLS SAFE, SIMPLE WAY TO TREAT AND RELIEVE AT HOME If you have catarrh, catarrhal deafness or head noises caused by catarrh, or if phlegm drops in your throat and has caused catarrh of the stomach or bowels you will be glade to know that these distressing symp- toms may be entirely overcome in many instances by the following treatment which you can easily pre- pare in your own home at little cost. Secure from your druggist 1 ounce of 'Parmiint (Double 'Strength). Take this home and add to it i/4 `pint of hot water and a little granulated sugar; stiruntil dissolved. Take one table- spoonful four times a day. An int- provement is sometimes noted after the first day's treatment. Breathing should become easy, while the dis- tressing head noises, headaches, dull- ness, cloudy thinking, etc., should gradually disappear under the tonic action of the treatment. Lose of smell; taste, defective hearing and mucus dropping in the back of the throat are other symptoms which suggest the presence of catarrh and Which may often be overcome by this efficacious treatment. It is said that nearly ninety per cent. of all ear troubles are caused 'by- catarrh' and there•must, therefore, be many people whose hearing may be restored by this simple, harmless, home treat- ment. deed, no necessity. You know how things were between us then; you know how things were between you and your wife. The situation seemed, perhaps, to us, the only possible one. In effect; I supposer it was terribly unnatural and, so far as your, wife was concerned, notwithstanding ev- erything, terribly, cruel. Because you see, she really did care, in a different way from anything I ever imagined -in the most wonderful way. She really came to me that day, to put it very simply, to beg me to give you up. That was the great text of her coming, and some of the things which seemed to me of less account slipped away from my mind until her letter recalled them. She asked me, Jermyn, to give you up for three years - to give "'her three years of happiness. After then well, she just shrugged her shoulders and, somehow or other, that part of what she said never seemed to ire to have any great sig- nificance. But this morning, as I have told you, I had a letter from her. Itr was- a very charming. Ietter and she said many nice things, and I know from it that my sacrifice -you see, I am not hypocrite enough to pretend that it was not a sacrifice -has not been. in vain, and that she has been happy. But the conclusion of her let- ter puzzled me. She spoke as though some definite epoch were over, as though there were some sort of bar- gain which she was preparing to keep. Whilst I was trying to think what she could mean, the memory of our interview all came back and I uri- derstood. I think, Jermyn, it was on the third day of May that she came to me. The three years' would be just about up when you receive this let- eer. I will not tell you quite the thought which has come into my mind. But will you watch over her very care- fully for a little time? I have writ- ten her, also, and I expect and hope that what I have said will be enough. "Mary sends her love and Gerald his remembrances. They are off for a three days' motor tour through some magnificent scenery. Will you write to me through the bank in New York You know how glad••I••shall be to hear. Ever yours, SYBIL." !Jermyn rose Slowly -to his feet. He glanced at the calendar which hung on the wall. It was the morning of J1•ay 3rd! He looked at the empty seat at his table, empty for the first ;rile since thei- had been at Annerley, and a sudden paralyzing fear kept him for a moment motionless. Lucille wt,s not like''other women. She had strange ideas.' And her word - her word was more, even, than a bond, In those few seconds during which he stood there, gazing through her emp- ty place with transfixed eyes, he re- membered -a moment in the gardens on the previous night, a moment when her arms had stolen around his neck, with a touch of that old feverich, ter- rified craving, and a shadow of hope- lessness had gleaned once more in her strangely -lit eyes. "Ah! Jermyn," she had whispered, "they v'e keen, Q , " i lk' i ; three y ars!s ,Three ygers1 the Wee ye 1' wove up that days!

She is just taking a sleeping draught and is going to lie down for a few hours. She wished particularly not to be disturbed." Jermyn almost pushed her on one side. Ile hurried along thecorridor and reached the door • of 'his' wife's roan ge turned the handle -it was locked. 'In a moment he had passed on into his own sleeping apartment, rushed through it and tried the han- dle of the connecting door. That, too, was locked: "Lucille!" he called out. There was no answer. He took the handle in his hand and shook it. "Lucille!" he repeated. "1 must speak to you at once." (Still there was no immediate an- swer and the sick fear was in his heart. Hie stepped hack, his right shoulder squared for a charge. Then he heard his wife's voice. There. There seemed something unnatural about it, it seemed to mule from a long way off, but it was her voice. "What is it, Jermyn?•" "I must speak to you this instant," he declared hoarsely. "I -must speak to you -without • a• second's delay. Do you hear? Open the door, Lucille,", For a moment she did not reply. Then he heard the rustling of drap- eries within the room. She was com- ing towards him. The lock turned. He flung the door open. She stood upon the threshold, gazing out' upon him like a ghost. He sprang past her to the middle of the room -a great sob of relief almost choked him. On her table was a letter, written and ad- dressed to him; by the side•of it, a wineglass - full. He caught it up in his hand and dashed it upon the car- pet. Then a sudden fit of weakness enfeebled him: He sank into the chair where she had been writing. • "Jermyn!" she cried softly. "How did you know?" Ile sat looking at the little stream of dark brown liquid and the'frag- ments of the glass upon the carpet. The sight seemed to give him, confi- dence. He rose and held out'his arms. She carie to him readily enough but her face was still very white and strained. "Dear," she faltered, "it is my word -my word of honor.'" He held her tightly and led her to- wards the window. Below, the nurse and 'child were playing. She turned with a little shiver. '"Yes, I know, I know!" she sobbed. "But these three'years, Jermyn! One could go down into hell with the mem- ory of these three years singing in one's heart." He .kept his arms about her tight- ly. With an effort he made his tone as matter-of-fact as 'possible. "I think," he said, "that the best thing you can do is to read a letter which I have received this morning, and afterwards to read another one which you will probably find for yourself in the post -bag." "From -her?" He nodded. "Will you wait here while I• .fetch them?" "Yes." she promised. IHe hesitated. She smiled at him vef^y pathetically. ".Jermyn dear, you can't think that I wanted to do it? I shall be svery safe until you come back." .He went downstairs like a man in a dream and returned with the letters. He spread his own out upon the table before her, and, cutting the en- velope of the one addressed to her, drew out the single sheet of closely - written notepaper and placed it in her hands. She read them 'both, word by word. When she had finished she was crying softly. They sat together before the open window. The west wind 'canoe' to then', from over, the gardens. Every now and- then there were peals of childish laughter. "But, .Jermyn," she 1rhi4percd, "what about her?" His fingers tightened upon •her hand. He, too. was looking through the window, across the gardens, a- crnos the park, to the sky. "There are two kinds of happiness, dear." he said. ;Igor h r 44 S w non till, "i$ince startell' n • i Salts.."' she writels, raft hays r ntlyself by 8'7 lbs, ' 1 aail :04 ,440. down.. and hope soon ho be,* weight.

FARM NOTES Higher Prices Indicated As Result of Short Crop A considerable increase in the price of potatoes is indicated for later; in the season, according to reports to the Department, due to a distinct shortage in both Canadian and Amer- ican craps. The later Ontario crop is ,now ar- riving on the market and, while the supply of 'Dooley potatoes will show a decrease as compared with that of 1932, the quality is particularly good. During the time of 'harvesting, sup- plies of potatoes reaching the market will, in all probability; exceed con- sumptive demand. So far as the consumer is concerned, therefore, this will be the most advantageous period for the purchase of potatoes for win- ter use. Fresh Egg Production Down; Moder- ate Price Advance Seen lAccording to T. A. Benson, of the Dominion Poultry Branch, fresh egg production is falling off rapidly and there is a good movement of storage. The market has continued firm with prices steadily advancing, Further gains were in evidence on both To= • ronto and Montreal markets, Toron- to showing to somewhat better ad - 'vantage than Montreal. The (pros-' pects would seem to be for continu- ing moderate advances in prices and the consumptive demand appears to be recovering considerably. Export demand remains steady with appar- ently goad prospects for the future. THE END Current Crop Report The 1933 flue -cured tobacco crop in Norfolk County is now estimated to be about eighteen million pounds as compared with twenty-five and one-half million pounds last year. The quality of the crop is very varied in quality;, but there is a percentage of expellent tobacco. •Haldimiand re- ports that the root crop is about 50 to 60 per cent. of normal.. Potatoes in Lincoln are yielding a fair crop of good quality. 'Mengel crops in Brant are much better than was expected, and the second crop of alfalfa seed is of excellent colour and yielding well. In Middlesex, potatoes will run about 65 per cent. of normal crop, while live stock are in only fair con- dition owing to the summer drought. Turnips in Bruce County are almost a complete failure on many farms due to aphids, on others again they are a fairly good crop. Potatoes have been bringing from 65 cents to $1.00 per bag in Dufferin County. `Thayield of mangels in York is 'below the usual average, while potatoes ill be a- round a 60 per cent. crop. t Pesrboro reports that all classes of Tri -e stock 'have gained considerably since the pastdres made such a splendid recov- ery. Fall.wheat in Lennox and Ad- dington is in excellent condition with a big increase in acreage. Plowing and after harvest • cultivation have been mote general than usual. Hay is a poor crop in Prescitt and Russell but red "clover seed is producing from F,0 to 100 pounds per load. Grenville has had one of the best buckwheat crops in its history, which will help 1 •.
