She has been strictly brought up by her grand- mother at Rpsew'ood• and has nev- er met any 'boys. Her older sis- ter, Maxine Trueheart, is a suc- cessful screen star. And Peggy, ashamed of 'her sheltered life, has pretended to her school room- mate Nancy that she is engag- ed. Now Nancy is coming to visit her. Harry insists, that Peggy borrow the ring his fiancee has just returned •to him and' wear' it as an engagement ring. She, accidentally bends it and when getting it mended she meets a stranger who has spok- en poken to her that morning from a car with a California license. Nancy and 'her sister Maxine ar- rive. "Do you mind if I run downstairs and telephone, Peggy?" Nancy inter- rupted her. "I -I forgot tophone that I arrived all right. You needn't come with me," she added slipping into a negligee. "I noticed' tonight where the phone was." "Go right on down then," Peggy urged. "I'll run 'in and say good night to Maxine while you phone." She hurried across the hall to her sister's room ' when Nancy ' started down the 'stairs. "Oh, here you are," Maxine cried as Peggy 'entered'. "I was hoping you'd get in for a good night chat. There are a million things I want to tell you and ask you." "That's the way I feel," Peggy de- clared', curling herself up on the foot of her sister's , bed, and watching Maxine unpack her things and put them out into the rooin. "First- of all," Maxine continued, "I want to know about this young. man you are going to 'marry. Ot course I realize that it is hard to make Gran, darling that she is, un- derstand things as we' see them. Nev- ertheless, I would never want either of us to marry anyone of whom she disapproved. I honestly feel that Gran can judge people's characters better ,than anyone I've ever known. §o I do hope he isn't. someone she doesn't like. Have you told ' her any- thing about him? You' see, darling," she added sitting on theebed' near Peggy, and taking both of/he young- er girl's hands 'in her own, "I'm frightfully anxious about it all, be- cause what •I really came home for was to see about you. I have the most wonderful opportunity right now. They want me to. make a new picture -in ,England! ,. I'm dying to do it, but I just couldn't say yes until I came here and saw how things were with you. I made up my mind that if you were unhappy I'd give up my work for a .while and_,stay .here and look after you. Then to find that you are ,engaged -well, it just seems that everything is working out all right for me to go to England.

This was the, first time she had ever deceived her grandmother and her sister and it gave her a feel- ing of panic. It had seemed rather fun this morning, there in the road, planning with Harry to put something over on Nancy.. But actually carry- ing out the plan she.. found was •no fun at all. She 'had' counted all at- sound. Telephones did not ring of - things on the bed. "Now, there's no use in getting ex- cited," she said 'Woking about her. "Get out the dress you had on today." Just then the telephone in the low- er nail rang. All three of the girls stopped and stared at each other in astonishment. They ohad not realized how quiet everything about the house had been, until they heard that shrill tennoon on telling Maxine and letting her decide. what to do. And now' her engagement -was just the thing Max- ine was delighting in. Peggy threw back her head and matched into her own room. All right, she would see it through! "Are you there, Nancy?" she call- ed. "Yes, I'm in bed," Nancy replied. "Come on in." She sounded all right now. Evidently her telephone talk home had helped her. "Just a minute," „Peggy called. She must put Harry's 'ring away in some safe place. She couldn't carry it around in her bag fot a week. She would be sure to pull it out with a handkerchief or a powder puff. She looked about for ,a place to hide. it, but her room seemed very open. The drawers of her bureau would be op- ened by Mary Lou when she put a- way 'the laundry. The cubby holes of her desk had letters and note paper stuffed into them. I't.-wasn't' that she doubted the honesty of any of the servants. She knew that they would never take anything, no matter what sheleft lying about, 'but she did. not want anyone to see this ring. She re- membered a pair of satin evening slip- pers she had had at school. There seemed to be no chance of wearing those now. She would stuff the ring into the toe of one of them and it would be safely out of sight. Getting her 'bag from. a drawer she reached in for the ring, , Impatient at her -inability to find it, she emptied the contents of the bag onto the bed. But no glittering . diamond ,and sap- phire ring rolled out with the, coin purse, compact and: handkerchief. Hastily she picked up the handker- chief and felt it, then shook ,it, at first gently, then roughly, but nothing fell from,;it as she waved it by two corners. Frowning, she opened the coin purse and emptied that. It con- tained only a little sliver and a few pennies. Nothing that could conceal a ring. Frightened now, she picked up the bag again, this time turning it inside out. Perhaps there was a hole in the lining. But there was not. The ring was just not there. On hands and knees she .crawled under the bed staring stupidly about the dusky space. She backed - out from there and moved the bureau. ^But it was useless. She looked in her gloves. She emptied the two top' drawers. The ring was gone. In real al -arm Peggy hurried into Nancy's room. She found her guest propped up among her pillows reading a motion• picture magazine she had brought with her. "I thought you were never coming," i' ''Do you mind H I ran do}ieehrlrs-ate tdmlynk 7.

The other two followed her into the up- stairs hall. "Hello," she cried'. "Yes. Who? Miss Trueheart? Yes -just a minute. I'll call her." Maxine was already coming down the steps. Peggy handed her the re- ceiver and started up the stairs. "Hello," Maxine answered. "Well, for heaven's sake., Where did you come from? What a' detective you are to have found me here!" "Listen!" 'Nancy cried grabbing Peggy's arm. "Did you hear that? It's a detective." Peggy had gone back to her room, her mind still oc- cupied with the loss of Harry's ring. She was only half conscious of what either Maxine or Nancy had said. But Nancy persisted. "Did you hear? It's+"a detective she's talking to. Do you suppose she'll tell ,him about the ring being gone? And maybe get him out here?" Peggy stared at 'her a, moment in silence. "I wonder if she could," she cried. She rushed back to the hall, and hurriedly tiptoed down the stairs again. "Maxine!" she was calling in a loud whisper. "Don't hang up. Ask him if he can't come out here and help us find the ring!" "What?" 'Maxine asked looking up at her sister in astonish'ment. "What are you talking about? No, not you," she added into 'the phone. "My sis- ter. Wait just a minute. What is it, Peggy?" "You called him a detective," Peg- gy explained: "And I wondered if you couldn't get him to come ,out here and help us find the ring. I don't know who he is, but there aren't any detectives in Marshville and' I cer- tainly need. someone. Ask him any- way, won't -you?" Maxine stood staring at her a sec- ond, then nodded her head. "Run on back' upstairs and keep looking and I'll ask him." Peggy's teeth were chattering now from excitement, even though the night was warm. She rushed back up the steps. Nancy was still leaning over the railing, listening, "I think maybe he'll conte," Peggy told her. "C -come on= --I'm c -cold." "Well, I think it's a perfectly dumb idea to get a detective out here to look :for your ring," Nancy said in disgust. "He'll ask a lot of questions. Then what will you say? Your grand- mother will have to know all abbot everything." "Oh, dear," Peggy tears. "I didn't think you suggested' it," she look at Nancy in surprise. "I did not," Nancy cried. . "I was just trying to warn you in case Max- ine suggested it. I'll go tell her not to let him come." But as she started towards the door they heard Maxine on the stairs, and a moment later she came in the room. "Well, he's coming in the morn- ing," she announced. "H'ow are you going to explain Peggy's ring to Mrs. Horton?" de- manded Nancy. ' Maxine stared stupidly at 'both girls, then collecting herself she crossed the room to Peggy. "You will have to tell rGran all about it, honey," she said, putting her arm around her sister's shoulders. "Oh, but I can't, Maxine!" Peggy's hands were twisting in her lap and she was on the verge of tears. What should she do? "I know," she sat up suddenly. "We'll tell Gran it's Nancy's ring!" "Mine?" Nancy exclaimed.- "Why mine?" "I had told Gran before you came that you were engaged and she doesn't know you have broken the engagement. So she will think you have lost your engagement ring here, and won't question it. Oh, Nancy, please!" (Continued Next Week) little Peggy You see, I must know." Peggy gulped. "Oh, yes, of course, Maxine. - I am perfectly happy. I don't really need you here, although you know how heavenly it is having you. You needn't worry about Gran • and the man I'm going to marry. Every- thing there is splendid, only we -well we just wanted to keep it to our- selves right at first. So don't mind if I don't tell even you his name right now." Maxine eyed her &lister searchingly, then leaning .for*a+rd kissed her gent- ly. "All right, Baby, whatever you say. You know I trust, your judg- ment and I know you wouldn't do anything ever than would cause either Gran or me any unhappiness." Peggy felt that if she stayed there ahother minute she would be crying her heart out in her sister's arms. "I must run back to Nancy now, she said jumping to her feet. "Good night. It's grand to have you here, even for a short time, I know the .English picture will be swell." She got out of the room somehow. Under the d'oor of her grandmothees ricin she eowld see the faint flicker tit light Otll vatted trittig1.11 td Nancy said looking up from her mag- azine, "Do you remember what I did with my ring this afternoon when I took it off at the station?" Peggy demand- ed. . "Put it in your bag. Why?" "Are you sure? 'Sure I put it in? I didn't drop it, did I?" "No, of course you didn't, I re- member seeing you drop it in and. then close the bag. - Why? 'Can't you find. it?" "No," Peggy cried in dismay. "It isn't ,in there, and, I've looked every- where." "Yoh probably haven's half looked," said Nancy. Throwing back the sheet she jumped out of' bed and stopping only long enough to slip' her bare feet into ' ilgh-heeled mules she hur- ried into the next room.. But after a few minutes' search she had to ad- mit the ring seemed to be nowhere in sight. ° "I'll call Maxine," Peggy said, slip- ping across the hall to her sister's room, Maxine, too, was sure that 'she had seen. her sister drop the ring lets her bang, butetal ' oho: went thrti.lgh the was almost in about that. But said, turning to • o A The Bacon Board announced on October 10 a new schedule, of bacon prices effective for the product of hogs purchased on and after Monday, October 13, 1941. The new rice seise - dale calls for $19.90 per 100 pounds for A' Grade, No. 1, sizeable Wilt- shire sides., delivered at Canadian seaboard with proportionate prices on the other grades, weights, and selec- tions ranging downward. to $16.70 for B3, 70-80 pound Wiltshires. Prices are also designated for various grades and weights of fore -ends, middles, gammons, and other pork cuts. The new price schedule provides for the payment of the full ,amount received from the British Ministry of Food, less a small deduction to cover stor- age charges on product stored during the period of heaviest hog mins, to even up shipments later on. Further- more, it is expected that these prices will apply over the full contract per- iod. Theb new prices represent some ad- vaneb`` over those in effect at the close, of the 1940-41 agreement. The price to packers for top grade Wiltshires has been raised from $19.60 to $19.90, Canadian seaboard • with other grades in proportion. At the start of the 1940-41 agreement, the price for Al sizeable Wiltshires was $16.10, but during the contract year four price increases totalling $3.50 were grant- ed, of which $1.00 was paid by -.the British Ministry of Fobd, and $2.50 by the Dominion • Government. The new price lint,. therefore, represents a substantial increase over the initial prices paid a year ago, but the in- crease over prices prevailing at the end of the 1940-41 contract period amounts to 30 cents per hundred- weight on Al sizeable Wiltshires. Purchases of the contract amount of 425.6 million pounds of bacon un- der the second agreement has now been completed. During the next 12 months, as already announced, Can- ada has undertaken to supply a re- cord volume of -not less than 600 mil- lion pounds of bacon to the 'United Kingdom. This represents a weekly average of Ilya million pounds for the 52-week period of the contract, or the product of 100,000 hogs • per week. To fill the contt°act on sehedu�evxll require the fullest, 'co-operation ftintn': Producers, paeker§ and reeniannere. More hogs must be marketd: and.

The 1b., rden of responsibility here resest jointly on the farmer,' wino produce' the hogs, and 'the packing plants, where the bacon is manufactured. The comple- tion of the 1940-41 contract at an ear- ly date was made possible through the splendid co-operation of consum- ers in reducing domestic Consumption of bacon, hams and -other pork pro- ducts. The Board estimates that dur- ing the past three months, July to September, about two million addi- tional pounds of bacon' was made available for export every week by reason of reduced consumption. in Canada. It should be remembered' that Britain wants 600 million pounds as a minimum amount in 1941-42 and will welcome whatever additional quantity Canada can, spare.
