It wag as if in- to the clear and serene Wight a great be=ast had suddenly st'alkedi—a vast golden horror that filled the sky. She found hersreif fleeing from it, rushing up through the garde to the sanctuary of the house. Yet the thing bad at first seemed so simple. Just a whisper of servants coming lout of the darks --"If she finds out, it wth1l he the end of her . Anne had been standing alone in the shadow of., an ancient oak- To her right was the tall hedge - that enclosed the ..harden. And it was from behind the hedge that she had heard the voices. "'If 'he finds out, it w*Till be the end of her . . ." It was not until she had 'listened idly for a moment that she had known: they were talking of her father and Mother. Saying frightful things, things that couldn't be true. And now, having reached the house, she had flung the door wide, •5l•amtmdng it chard behind her. She stood flattened against it, her arms outstretched as if to bar out the evil which had pursued her. Then sud- denly she laughed and dropped her 'Lim t .For the roam was un- changed.. She 'had- u'at known what She had expected, but here it was no different—her mother at the piano, the music arrested by her daughter's wilxl entrance, and. Vicky and Armee father at the chess tahle.

He's going to open his house." "For heaven's sake, why?" "Don't ask. me. I'm not his keep - en." "But a big house like that — a thousand miles from nowhere." "He's only a mile front us.", "You knew what I mean, ,Elinor. He's all alone. You and I have each other and Annie and Vicky." Anne's vuother nodded. "Yes, he's alone, of course, but he says he is dale own good company'." Anne, listening, was again aware of some stnister si gndflcanee. For it was of David that the ser- vants behind 4ihe kedge had talked. Of dear delightful Davie- whom Anne had known. since childhood and who Abad taken her to cher first dance. And now sire had been to many dances, and a year ago she had •made her bow to Baltimore so- ciety and hadn't liked it. . For Anne, in spite of her nine- teen years, had never really grown up. It had been, perdiapa, because of Vicky. Vicky had come, r a graduate nur=se in her white linen, to look after the little girl of five wfhose mother was so bound by the de- mands of the social life about her that she refused to be bound by the depnands of her baby. Vicky had been with them since then—fourteen years in which she had set Anne's little feet on a path which Elinor and Francis Ordway had never fol- lowed. Anne's parents had necognized the value of Vicky's F• presence, a n d treated cher as one of • them. In j calm eyes were lighted by a sort Vicky burned a clear flame that of wonder, lighted the house. ,It lighted, too, Anne's explanation went to. all of Anne's tittle torch.- The -torches of "Something startled ine and Francis Ordwa'ry and of Elinor, his wife, were lighted at other and less sacred fires. Francis Ordway took a sheaf of bills from suis wallet and counted therm into his wife's hand. "Is that all?" she asked as he returned the wallet to his pocket. "Lt ought to be more than enough." He smiled. There was a spark in cher eyes. "Oh, well, if 'it isn't, David can carry me." Again that sinister note! But Francis laugheld. "Let hint carry you. It may even -things up a bit." "What do you mean, Francis?" "He owes me a lot of mloney." She stood staring. "David?" "I've a mortgage an his. house. Didn't you know?" "No. How should I?" Francis bent and' kissed hi s daughter. "You'd better go to bed." "Why?" "Beauty sleep." "I'm 'beautiful enough." They laughed together. them. I ran." The explanation, she saw at once. satisfied 'her father and mother, but it did not satisfy Vicky. Her mother went en playing and s±inlgnug softly Marie Antoinette's song "Moir pawre jardinier du Roi." "A gard'ne'r to the king am 1, To please his majesty I try; His orders I'm obeying, 'tis true, 'tis true, Yet all my thoughts are ' straying —to you." Her father made a move, and Vicky laughed and turned to Anne. "Hers beating me dreadfully." She rhel.d out her hand, and Anne crossed the room- and sat on a low seat be- side the table_ ` As she sat there she looked at her mother singing: "'Po say what .Lone you've known is true, is true, I love but one alone, and 'tis you."

His eyes followed her pointing finger.. Sloping down from the hill to the east was a great meadow, amber and amethyst under the moon, and solid and black as an ebony cliff against the brightness loomed the pine grove. It was to the right of the grove that Anne poinded), where a spiral of smoke arose from the grasses. Garry said, "Some one has built a fire." "Let's go down." "Not yet" The wrap which she had put on dropped from her shoulders. He drew it about her and thus had her in the circle of his arm. "Anne, tell me—" "No." She slipped from the cloak, leav- ing it in his hand's; and ran ahead of him in the direction of the thread of smoke.

UNDERGROUND OPERATING ROOM Open To 1Ve Subscriber. s Only t. tit Nothing is more directly affected by war conditions than civilian hos- pital management and the way the crisis was met in England gives an idea of the immensity of the problem before hospital authorities. The evacuation of the patients from the hospitals is London and other cities was performed with cel- erity and smoothness. As in the case of the evacuation of children, plans for removing hospital- patients had been made months in advance. De- tails were so carefully planned that' clock -like precision marked the actual evacu'atlon. Ambulant patients were taken away in care provided by Mends nds of the hospitals; then at a stated hour coaches arrived for pate Tents waiting on stretchers. At some of the hospitals strong sub -basements protected against alas have been made ready for casualties of air rade. An underground operating room is being built under the foundations of a ,new block of buildings. at the Hos• pita fen Sick Children, London. The underground accommodation, the first of lits kind in England,, will conist of a receiving room with eighty seats and six doer. r+g rcloms where wino injuries can be treated; an operating room for matter casualties with three tables ate nine .dreeeing and anates- thetic cubicles; a duty room for the staff and a sterilizing room. Th'e ele^- tric light and water supply are from sources independent of the main ser- vice. A gadget tilt was- the life of the party in parlors of the gay 90's is now helping fight Me war to Europe. it's the' old-fashioned stereoscope, with which you looked through eye- pieces at double• postcards and got breath -taking 'three-din.•,asienal views' of Niagara Falls and tat. taj Mahal.' Its wartime use is ti; detection of cieverely concealed nr.iltary strut -'r tures and apparatus. The principle of the stereoscope is that through two pictures taken from slightly different ,positions, you get the same effect of .perspective as when you look at something with two eyes. Contrast In camouflage detection, one picture in the ste're'oscope is a pre-war shot of a given area; the other is a pic- ture taken as. nearly as possible from the same viewpoint after any sus- pected military emipiaeemen'ts have been made. You clap the two pictures into the stereoscope and with the two images to the eye, superianposed, any differ- ence between them stands out with all the Monstrosity of those acciden- tal don'ble-exposures you take -at the. beach. With the two pictures in different colors, and colored lenses, on the steneoscope, any discrepancy is even mane glaring. Tlria) application of the stereoscope stems from one of its original uses a hundred years ago. The English natural scientist, Sir David Brewster, used it to detect subtle differences in rug diedgave, Coins) and documents. $u minute eantanalaan Of' 11QUata- graphs is necessary because of the extent to which the teahnrique of cam- ouflage has advanced. Within the rayl .ew days, Rumania has begun camouflaging houses and even such seemingly impossible objects as tall oil towers. 'Elis can be done because, contr- ary to the popular impression, hid - ring an object depends not so much on its shape and color as on its out-' tine anal' texture. Ritdr moat military observations , being made from airplanes, balloons or other heights, the crux of the prob tem is shadows. We see dirt as brown and grass as green, but to the military observ- er, al'eas of dirt wp•pear white and grass black, simply because flat earth has little texture to cast shadows, while grase has a tot. If you can disguise an object's na- tural shadow, it's more than half the battle. Moat worlcs of natu; e are se regular, while mast works of man are geometrical. An airplane hangar is conspicuous from the air mainly be- cause of its geometrical shadow. if you can extend and distort the sha- dow artificially, the observer may fly night past. Sprig For Its Shadow The leaf -covered nettings over g=ls which you see in war pictures, the shrubbery stuck in teaks and the sprigs of leaves whioly soldiers clutch as they scuttle across unprotected areas provide scant covering, but their irregular'contouns and shadows are invaluable in confusing the eye of the observer overhead or far away. The basic pni.noiple of camouflag- ing stationary military works is not exotic disguises, but simple co-opera- tion with nature. A mound oanarot be trade to look like anything but a mound. and if a gun is emplaced on it, natural shadows are ,just empha- eized to oover .the added bulk, The height of -camouflage in the World War was when British soldiers stuck papier-mache heads out of trenteres' to draw fire and hence dis- close snipers' positions, and moved pasteboard cut-out dummies up and down in regular waves, like a foot- ball ohearing section, to simulate ad- vancing troops. uron sitor Until February 1,1940 FOR ONLY f; ag Now that Fall is here everyone will have more time for reading and what better could you read than your home piper which each week brings you the complete news of your district, This Special Offer means you receive The Huron Expositor for less than two cents per week.
