CHAPTER III
SYNOPSIS
Peggy Horton drives a golf ball
into the windshield of Harry Wil-
son's -car. He has Just been- turn-
ed down by his fiancee -Peggy is
worried because her school room-
mateNancy is coming to visit her
and Peggy has pretended to Nancy
that she is engaged. Peggy's old-
er sister is a successful screen
star, Maviferueheart, but Peggy
has been so 'strictly brought up
by her grandmother at Rosewood
that she had never even met any
boys. Harry insists that for a
week she wear as her own, the
ring his fiancee has just return-
ed to, him: On her way home she
meets an attractive man who in-,
quires the way to Rosewood.
'Peggy found one of William's
grandsons dawn by the gate waiting
to open it for her. His little calico
shirt tails flapped in the breeze
above the patched pants that had
once belonged to an older brother.
Hiswhite teeth in their black setting
shone 'in the sunlight. She waved the
light whip towards him as she drove
through the gates.
Once en' the highway Peggy drew
a long' breath and settled down to the
business of thinking.
"That's what .I get for borrowing
things," she muttered, • remembering
how she had always been taught nev-
er to borrow from anyone.
There was only one thing to do.
Stop at Carver's jewelry store and see
if the ring could be straightened.. She
had no idea how long it would take.
But she would go there immediately.
She had heard that .since young Jim.
Carver had come home, from college
and gone into business with his father
they had branched out considerably
in ' the jewelry business. Perhaps
that would include being -able to
straighten a platinum ring, '
In spite of the, many cars in'Marsh-
ville,, no one ever thought it strange
to see Peggy Horton in the old pony
cart. She had drivenit ever since any-
one could remember, seeing her about,
and no one connected a Horton with.
anything but horses. There were still
a'few. horse rails about the old square
in the centre of which stood a foun-
tain -that -had -served- as •--a• -drinking
fount for the horses of former days.
Now it was only a source of cooling
beauty. Stores, bank, post office, and
the •old wooden two-story, hotel sur-
rounded the square on all four sides,
the street entering from the corners.
Peggy, stopping before the hitching
post that was the closest to Carver's,
jumped out and tied Pat, exchanging
greetings with one or two people as
she did so. Then walking rapidly, she
entered the store.
She was glad to see that Jim Car-
ver was not' there. He would, probably
have asked a lot of questions. Old Mr,
Carver, ,with his bald head bent close-
ly over a book, was,, seated alone at
the back of the store.
"Why, heilo Miss Peggy," he called,
coming forward to meet her, after
carefully marking his place with a

- "I declare all you young folks are
just alike. Everything must ,be done
right now. No waiting. You all never
will remember that Rome wasn't built
in a day. I reckon though, that I can
do it. I'm not doing anything else
right now. Might as well do this. Can
you come back after a while?"
Peggy came out of the store with
her heart singing. The_.ring was not
ruined. It would- be as good as new
and she ,could have it on when ,31 -ie
met' Nancy. In spite of her knowledge
tl,t she should "not borrow having
borrowed it she might as well carry
out Harry's idea, she told herself. All
seemed well now.
'She paused a moment on the side-
walk to look about her, deciding what
to do next. Across the square before
the hotel she saw several boys gath-
ered about an automobile. It was a
car from California that she had seen
that morning. She wondered where its
owner was, and why 'he was still in
Marshville. There was nothing in this
sleepy little town to -keep even a tour-
ist, she reflected.
She went into a candy store up
near the corner to get some of Nancy's
favorite candy, then stopped in a drug
store to buyy some magazines and a
soda, to kill a little time before she
should. go back for the ring. At last
she rose, and after paying her check
started down the street. She was with-
in a few feet of Carver's when, she
heard rapid footsteps behind her and
a voice cried:
"Well, hello. Imagine seeing you
'here!"
Turning quickly she found' herself
face to face with the Man from Cali:
fornia; as she immediately termed
him. Peggy eyed him coldly. He was
tall, she realized', and broad should-
ered. He wore a well tailored light
linen suit which contrasted becoming-
ly with his dark coloring. His almost
black hair, which had been blowing
in the breeze,- his morning. was now
brushed neatly down. He had nice
eyes, she found herself thinking bee
fore she. answered curtly:
"I am neither- a hitch -hiker nor a
pick-up."
-"Oh, I say," he began in some con-
fusion. "I didn't mean it like that.I
was so surprised at seeing you again
just had' to speak , Sort of talking
aloud, I guess."
"Yes, I understand." Peggy said
pausiniat the entrance of the jewelry
store. "There is another man ' here
who talks to himself. He is about
ninety and usually sits along here !n
the sun. The constable keeps an eye
on him to see that nothing happens to
him. He probaibly won't mind watch-
ing you too."
She turned and reached for the
screen door but the young man step-
ping «quickly forward held it open for
her, •and- she brushed past him with
head erect. To her dismay he follow-
ed her. Mr. Carver behind a small
glass window in the front of the store
where he- repaired watches, looked up
as they entered.
"Back already " he asked. "Well,
But since I saw this 'ring I know how
they can look. 1: drew off the design
here." He chuckled as he showed her
a sketch on a sheet of paper. "You
didn't know 1; was such an artist, did
you? Do you reckon it would be all
right for me to copy this ring?" he
added wistfully.
"I think that would be all right,"
Peggy answered. Mr. Garver seemed
as anxious to do it and Harry would
never know. Taking the ring which
''he carefully wrapped in -tissue paper,
she dropped -it into her bag. "Thank
you so much, Mr. Carver. How much
do I o.we you?"
"Oh, nothing at all, nothing at all.
Thank you for bringing it in and let-
ting me get that design. Remember
me to• your grandmother," he called
after her.
With a hasty "Thank you," Peggy
hurried out without a glance at the
other occupant of the store
She found that she was i11 upset
over her tilt with this. stranger. She
realized that by turning 'her head to
see if he were telling the truth about
the watch the score between them had
been evened, and unconsciously she
wished for a "next time" so that she
could put the young man in his place.
Untying Pat she drove quickly to
the railroad station. Before she alight-
ed from the pony cart she Opened her
bag, and' after looking quickly about
her to see that no one was watching,
unwrapped the small package and slip-
ped the ring on her engagement fing-
er.
'The train whistled in' the distance
and Pat pricked up his ears. Not that
Pat minded trains or automobiles, but
he had no intentign of letting people
think that he was growing old and un-
interested' in things.
"You'd stand just as well if I didn't
hitch you, you old fraud, but I reck-
on you'd be insulted, 'wouldn't you?"
Giving him a friendly pat she tied the
reins to a hitching post and hurried
around the station.
'She scanned each passing coach
with. eyes 'bright with, excitement. At
last she caught sight of the platinum
blonde head of Nency under a black
hat. She was standing in the aisle of
one of the cars. Nancy leaned over to.
wave through a window and waving in
reply Peggy ran.• to the foot of the
steps- The two girls stopped for an
enthusiastic greeting: `he' conductor
touched Peggy on the arm. They must'
move, someone else was getting off.
Peggy glanced u'p, then 'recognizing
the other passenger she cried out in
amazement.
"Maxine! Oh, Maxine!" Forgetting
Nancy entirely she threw her arms
around her sister.
"Peggy!" the other girl . cried.
"Why, little Peggy, you've grown up!
How marvelous that you should be
here. I didn't write or wire that I
was coming I wanted to surprise you." '
l"Well you certainly 'did," Peggy
replied' tremulously. "Oh, Nancy I'm
sorry. This is my sister, Maxine. You
know, Maxine Trueheart."
"Not to you all, darling. I'm still
Maxine Horton - when I'm home."
Nancy's blue eyes were wide with
excitement. She was going to visit in
the same houset with the famous Max-
ine Trueheart. She would get her
autograph and wouldn't she have a
lot to tell when she returned -home!
Miss Trueheart was lovely, Nancy
thought, as she watched' Maxine
searching for her trunk check. She
did look something like Peggy, she
admitted. reluctantly. The same ,wide
brown eyes, the same chestnut col-
ored hair, But Maxine's was short and
waved in the same set waves as her
own: And Maxine's mouth was more
'beautiful than Peggy's. Perhaps one
reason for that was that Maxine used
lipstick -not much, ' Nancy noticed
and rubbed a little from her own over -
red lips. Peggy's mouth was minus
any make-up.

But Peggy bad no time to listdn to

interrupted. "Mr, Carver, I wonder 'f

gravely while Peggy anxiously waft-

"Th'at^s certainly is a lovely ring,"
he said at last. "A girl with a ring

to be careless with it. Well now I

Peggy relaxed somewhat.

Peggy's heart was racing. What

again. "I was just comparing that
stone in the ring with one I ,.have.

tioning to her to come behind the
counter.

SOFT DRINKS
, The mention of soft drinks brings
to mind -hot 'summer • days,. and warm
balmy evenings when an iced drink is
the accepted companion tot every oc-
'casion. However, statistics reveal
,that both winter and summer, thirsty
Canadians manage to keep over 450
beverage manufacturing plants busy
supplying them 'with their favorite
brands of "pop" and •other cold
drinks. ^e
Soft drinks are technically referred
to as "aerated" or "carbonated" bev-
erages. They are composed of over
80 per cent.swater, flavoring and car-
bon dioxide gas. The peculiarly pung-
ent and acidic taste, the sparkle and
effervescence that accompany the op-
ening of a battle of champagne, soda
water or any' of the aerated bever-
ages is due to the carbon dioxide that
was previously held in solution under
pressure. These drinks have practic-
ally no 'bodybuilding .properties, but
children frequently prefer them to ice
cream.
The growth of the modern soft
drink industry has been most Ta•pid,
although it covers a comparatively
short span. While entirely a product
of the twentieth, century, the present
size and general importance of the in-
dustry is surprising. The- factory out-
put in Canada in 1938 amounted to
over $26 million. If you were tb trans-
late that figure -into individual drinks
it would number far into the billions,
enough to stagger the imagination.
Imports into •'C`anada of mineral and
aerated waters were valued at somr.-
thing over $62,000 for 1938, while ex-
ports for the same period totalled
$6,000.

Little Nubbin -
Alexander Hamilton Stephens, of
Georgia, was nearing 'the end of a
long and notable public career. A's
Vice -President of the Confederacy, he
had always 'been .a stormy petrel,
notwithstanding his small size, and
emaciated figure -weighting scarcely
one hundred pounds.
Stephens 'and Abraham Lincoln
were friends even in face of the pol-
itical 'and sectional gulf between them,
and when the little man visited the
President 'his diminutive stature was
accentuated alongside the • long figure
of Lincoln. On a certain; occasion, af-
ter a visit, of Stephens to the White
House, Lincoln Commented t� sewatd:
"Did you see Alee Stephens "
"Yes" was the reply.
"See him with his overcoat on?"
"Yes."
"See hien with it off?"
"Yes."
"Did you ever see Go little a nubbin
come out of so big a shuck?"
