She: oroa$ed the room; swiftly to kneel at her moth'er's .side, to hold the stricken figure close, offering what comfort s'he could. She ask ed, "Darling, what's wrong? Tell me!" But Gay could not, until the storm of her grief Chad abated. At last she turned on her side and faced Lisbeth, her lids red and swollen, 'her lip rouge smeared. She said du11y, "I'll tell you. You're the only one I can tell - and it's driving me mad, trying to hide it, trying to keep Carter from finding out." "Finning out -what?" "About Reid Terry." Gay's voice 1 a \ Mr Pa6od .�. Y \ i and tale end � of tyle rainbow • You could have knocked Mr. Peabody over with a feather. For there, right through the window of his own room, came a rainbow. And at the end of it was a huge pot of gold ! As he approached it to see if it was real, he heard the sound of bells. "The whole countryside has heard of this!" thought Mr. Peabody. "That's why the bells are ringing." And the sound of the bells grew louder ... louder ... LOUDER .. . • Mr. -Peabody awoke with' a start. The alarm clock beside his .bed was ringing .. - ringing ... RINGING. Shutting it off, he sighed sadly, got up and dressed. Listening to the radio as he ate his breakfast, Mr. Peabody heard Somebody say thet old -age benefits should provide every- body with enough to retire on. "Hmmph!" snorted Mr. Peabody to himself. "More rain- bowsl I like the idea of additional help for older people. But to build the kind of comfortable old -age income I want, I fully expect to need all my lits insurance - and maybe more. It gives my family. protection•now. And it covers my own special , needs in a way no mass programme could possibly do." Arriving at his store, Mr. Peabody, like millions of other Canadians, began another day of working, earning and saving for his future security with life insurance. "Even without pots of gold, it's' a pretty good world," he said to himself. And as he worked, he began to whistle softly.

"Blackmail?" Lpsbeth stared •at ber, trying to understand. "But -but w•hy, Gay, How can he?" Gay answered with au uncom- promising honesty utterly alien to her nature. "Because I'm a fool. I've always been a fool! Reid has a letter I wrote him from Ber- muda. An awful letter -I can't re- member ekactly what I said in it. Something about having Carter hooked, about all my financial worries being over. Oh, Lisbeth" -•her voice broke .patheticaliy- "how could I have written that about a man so line as Carter? If Reid goes to him-" "But can't you get the letter back?" Lisbeth asked. "Can't you give Reid money?" - Gay Desperate Due To Terry's Blackmailing Gay said starkly, "•I've tried.

And even when I pay that, I'm not mute . . " The tortured voice trailed off;'+ Despairingly Gay's' eyes sought the steady eyes of her daughter. She said, "I'm afraid. • I'm terribly afraid. It's all so ugly, ao horrible! If Carter even suspects I've .gone there . . . And then she asked, •her hands going out in a little, pleading gesture, "Oh, Lisbeth- what am I going to do?" The candlelight was kind to Gay; at dinner. It veiled the rav- ages of recent tears and'tbuched her hair with golden •glory and fell softly, glamorously across her smooth, bare shouliders. Enthrall- ed, by her beauty, Carter could scarcely •be expected to note the almost theatric quality of her high spirits. And Jon, who might 'have been more observant, didn't come home to dinner at all. Lisbeth was grateful for bis absence. With Jon seated opposite, his grey eyes probing •her abstrac- tion, it would have been less sim- ple to pretend serenity, to hide her shaken distaste for what lay ahead. How many times•. Lisbeth won- dered, had she found herself in this same position, assuming some bur- den of her mother's, taking over a hateful task? Too many, she sup- posed, her young mouth twisting, or Gay would not have agreed., so readily to Lisbet'h's hesitant offer to see Reid Terry in her stead.

Else she would not have said so eagerly, "Oh, Lisbeth ... oh, dar- ling, if you only would!" Nor have added, her voice shaken by that pathetic little tremor which Lisbeth knew so well, "I've so much more to lose than you pos- sibly could have. A woman in my position . . .

It wasn't until dinner was al- most over• that she recalled hav- ing made an engagement with Miles for this evening. Nothing im- portant, fortunately.

Their popularity grew so rapidly that, by 1912, a new factory was needed to supply the demand. This was built in Toronto. It was the first plant in Canada to make aluminum articles - and this was only ,a dozen years after the first Canadian smelter had started making aluminum ingots at Shawinigan Falls.
