CHAPTER IX SYNOPSIS Anne Ordway, nineteen, is afraid' of marriage, of levee. Her parents, Francis and Elinor, are divorced and the bottom drops out. of Annie's world. She does not avant to marry Garry Brooks, whom she has known all her life. She goes to live witth her com- panion, Vicky, in: her farm home. Charles Patterson, whose life 'Margot has brought sensational charges, 'against him in a divorce suit, is in love with her. Anne has just ,decided that perhaps she Will marry Charles when Garry, just returned" from Europe, comes' to see her. He is jealous of Charles. .."Is he making love to you?" Garry demands. He staid , again, roughly: "He shan't have you. No imam shall have you but me." Het caught her to him and kissed .her. • Anne, tearing •herself from Garry's arms, turned and saw Charles. He was looking past her to Garry. "Will you telt me," he said in an even tone, "'why you did a thing like. that?" Garry faced him defiantly, "Be- cause she told me things were over between us. But they're not. She's :nine. I'll prove it some day." "She is not yours. Didi you tell him, Anne, that . you are to be my wife?" Ann;e's world went whirling. The wide s'ky and the wide ocean seemed to sway and rise as if to engulf her before ,shhe found voice to say, "I --I am going to marry him, Garry." "You mean you—dove lam?" "Yes." Garry lost control of himself oom- p:etely. "Well, if you want him, you can /tare hien. But I'll tell you this —I've got something to give you that he hasnt't. ' I've got a first love and a maws fillet hasn't been ;=ragged through the courts." Charles; took a step toward him. "In the old dtayts I would +have de- manded satisfaction• of you for that, or 'have been called a coward,. But today we are more civilized. We know that the coward is one who twists the truth to further his own ends." "You mean I am lying?" "I mean that I can offer more than you can offer, and you know it." Garry's fists were enacted, but this was not the n to fight. He said to Anne, " ou'il be sorry. And you won't be happy." "You •can't know that, Garry." "I know you better than you arrow yourself. Patterson has an- other wife, and even if the courts have set him free shell always be a ghost rising up between you." Anne said, "Please go, Garry." He went, driving furiously. Weer, they were alone Charles said. -lie told me the truth, Anne. I had no right to come to you." "You had every right:`" Don't let Garry spoil our day, darling." His face was , lighted. "You can call nue that?" "Why not, if I'm going to marry you?'' "I +had to say it to stop Ga�•ry'. But it wasn't the way I had planned to ptodmse to you." "How had( you planned ?" "I was going to wait until every- one was gone and we were alone with the sea and the sky." "We are alone now. 'Vicky has gone off with the children" she catteht .+bei breath. "Tell me now. Tell me!" He had her in his arms, "You know it all without my telling." "But I want to hear you say it." He said it again and again until the afternoon wanted and the sun wient down, and the flame of the aftengltow was gold and red. "To- morrow's promise," Charles whis- her?" "I can't snatch her from the altar, can 1? It isn't done in these days." Margot laughed and shrugged hes shoulders. "Let's dance," she said. The room in which they danced was panelled with long mirrors, and Margot could; see herself in Garry's arms, his dark head only a few inches above her own. Once upon a time Charles? blonde head head tow- ered high above her, and she had glor led in has sttre.ngt'h and good looks. She wondered why she had ever let Jima go out of her life. No other man could watch him. She had tfownd that out in tinge to escape Bart. And now he was going to marry Anne Ordway! "Wihen?" was put to Gamy. "No one seems I fancy-" "Where is she now?" "On the Eastern Shore, with Vicky.", When supper was, served, Margot sat at a little table with . Garry, thanking. She was going to fight Anne Ordway for the possession of liter lover. It would be a. fight to the finish and she would win. The next moaning she drove her roadster to Annapolis a k the ferry across the bay. It was rat 'ng a little as she, followed the road to the Hewitt farm, and the wind blew cool. But Margot erred nothing for wind .,.nd weather. As she went along she rehearsed' what she was to say to .Aeras. If she lied a little. what harm? She found Anne away. The color- ed maid t'1io answered the door said they were expecting her at any mom- ent She had gone to Baltirpore ear- ly that morning. The rest of the faintly was also away. A reunion on somebody's birthday. Margot was glad that fate was Piay?ng into her hands. She would wait for Anne and see her alone. She :at on the porch and the mad brought her lemonade and crisp cookies. The shadows lengthened and still Anne .did not Dome. She ,had, gone to Baltimore because of a letter from her mother. It ;had arrived on the preceding day, and when she had read it she had gone at once to Vicky. "It's about herself and David." Vicky, in the garden cutting roses for the table, sat down on a rustic bench and motioned Anne to sit. be- side her. "Read it to. are' My dar- ling." the question she to know, Soon, Elinor had coveredt with a sprawling script. "My darling child: "In a • few weeks I shall be free to marry David. But David is in) fin- ancial straits and it makes things difficult. Your father has a mortgage on his property, and David is so proud that he has resolved to sell and pay off the mortgage. "ibis means, my dear•, that when we marry, David and I will have no nrof over our heads, and that if we lave on his income, we must go abroad to five decently, "I have„ written your father and teal him that. But he is hard. He says that I wanted tie go with David, and so the gave me my freedom. But he will not finance us. And, indeed, I am afraid David would not let me take anything your father might offer. . "But David need never know, if your father gave me an allowance, that it was not my own. And what I want you to do is to go to Francis and ask hien. He will do anything for you. And I am your mother. Artie. Oh, I know what you think of me. But I want to be happy, and I'll be happy with Davie" When she had finished) reading Anne said, "I 'have decided to ask Daddy, Vicky. But I want you to tell me whether you think rm right or wrong." "You must tell ane first what made you decide to ask your father." vepYal pages "Daddy, I'm going to be married!" petted, "for clear skies and quiet seas. Shell we call it an omen, dear heart, for our future?" Tomorrow's promise? Clear skies? Or sltormrst? Anne clung to 'her lover. Whichever came, she was his—foreverr. Garry, meeting Margot at a din- ner party in Washington on her re- turn from London said, "Your exhust- band is to marry Anne Ordway." "Marry her?" "Yes." "How do yon know?" "I heard it from her own lips, and I saw lam with her. He's quite mad about her." `And 'eau metas to lot him' have "Becanrse, if Mother is poor, she will stake David unhappy." "Perhaps he deserves to be un- 'aaPPY•" I'm not sure. Somebody I feed "I'm not sure. Sem.eho'w 1 feel that David is different from Mother.

David had Genre high-miudediy wheat Elinor had done falsely and unfairly. "But rhe will go to him with a Ile on her lips," Vicky suis. "No. Daddy must tell him . that Mother can't be happy without money. I tthink he will do it." Vicky said, "I wish you could keep out of it." "So do I, but I can't. I shall telephone Daddy and go up tomor- row morning if he can see me." Francis could and would. He was delighted. Anne must lunch with him: He was completely at her serviee for the day. Anne, breakfasting early with the Hewitt family, was aware more than , ever of the Initiendeperudleuaee and' co- operation of ite rnembere, "If (Merles and I have ebildeee,'• Anne told herself, "they shall live like 'this," If; would be wonderfp,l, she teonght, to be 'a mother Like MIG.

"1 am trying to drop ,ten pounds," the bold 'her. • Anne, Who had been somewhat softened by his welcome, •hardtened her heart. She was sorry he had no home, nO wife, no child, but she wondered whether he really suf- fered for lack of these things or whether he weighed them is the bal- ance with his diet, .bis club, his bank account, and found them wanting. Francis, as he talked to ter, was aware of her hardness. It added in a• way to his regard for her.

Bacon Scheme Pleases Ontario "Ontario is pieasted. with the defin- ite agreement with Great Britain re- garding hog marketing. Nine dollars a hundredweight is a satisfactory price to -day, taking grain prices, at the mernen•t into consideration," said Hon. P. M. Dewar,, Outarto Minister of Agriculture, in oomanentieg on the •s'etheme whereby Canada is to supply Great Britain with 4.480,000 pounds of bacon and ham weekly until Oct. 31, 1940, with Britain paying a fixed' price of $20.18 an English hundred weight of 112 pounds. This, would; amount to about 9 cents a pound live weight for hogs, It Was stated. Mr. Devon said Ontario can pro- duce just est much bacon by maintain- , eat' least', ing quality as by disregarding stand- ards. Lt doeen't cost any more to produce a good article tban an infer- ior article. "Our good breeding foundation should be cons'erved," he said. "Young thigh -class commercial gilts should not be sent to market but purchased ie. the neighborhood. In other words, the loon supply of breeding stock shouid be taken up at home," Work le one of the greatest bless- ings of Life. It adds zest. and joy to existence and makes ennui impos- sible.
