CHAPTER V
SYNOPSIS
Peggy Horton meets Harry
Wilson by chance. 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. Or is it,

knock on the door and slip in there
and tell Mrs. Horton what she had
done. 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.

never coming,"

rang again.
"I'll go," Peggy ran out of the room
and "'swiftly down the stairs. 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!"

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.

Nancy said looking up from her mag-

"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-

then close the bag. - Why? 'Can't you

"No," Peggy cried in dismay. "It
isn't ,in there, and, I've looked every-

"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

ried into the next room.. But after 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. PSOne
bacon, cured for export than in ,any
previous 12 months.. 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. Con-
sumers are being requested to core
tinue to curtail quantities of bacon,
