`WHAT HAS GOIt4E iaEFoRE
Gay Carmichael had married
her -daughter's fri.encl, Jon*%
father,, for .security reasonq:
This made Jon ,turn again. qt
them. kis Carmichael later
became engaged to,, Jon's
friend, Miles _Benedict, • still
king Jon, but knowing that
Jon hated her and her mother.
Then she learned that Reid
Terry, a former friend of her
mother, was blackmailing .her
oft account of a letter.
Lisbeth turned the key with fin-
gers that were suddenly unsteady.
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

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.

"Not ' •becauee I wanted to. I
couldn't "help 'myself. I was afraid
to refuse. He's blackmailing me,
Lisbeth."
"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.
I've given him money, 'but he
•won't let me have the letter. He
promises and then he -he laughs
at me. He tries to make love to
me. He's thriatened to tell Car-
ter. .I'm supporting him." Gay
shivered. "I'm to go •to Reid's
apartment tonight. I'm to •take
him ten thousand dollars. I sold
some jewels -it was the only, way
I could keep Carter from filtai>3
out. 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.

suggestion on her daughter's part.
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 . . . No one will know
you've gone there at all. And Reid
wont try to make love to you-•
that much is certain. You two
always disliked each other .
But you must get the letter back.
Tell hiss -oh, tell him anything!
You're so much firmer than I,
darling. You always have been.
I'm sure you'll succeed where I've
failed so miserably . . . and I'll
never get over being grateful to
you . . ."
Lisbeth shivered. She wished
tonight were over. She wished she
could shake off the feeling of
numbness, of utter spiritual weari-
ness that gripped ber.
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. A ride, a •pos-
sible stop at a roadhouse for danc-
ing. She excused herself when
Gay and Carter went to the draw-
ing•room ,for coffee and made 'her
way upstairs. She phoned Miles•
on the extension in her own room
and felt a qualm of guilt at his
genuine solicitude over the head-
ache she invented.

Having hung up, she changed
from her green organza dinner
gown to .street clothes. Her purse
bulged with the money Gay had
given her, ten thousand dollars
in bills.
Quietly Lisbeth descended the
broad stairway. From the draw-
ing -room came the voices of ber
mother and stepfather, the light
familiar echo of (lay's laughter.
.Bitterness welled up in Lisbeth, a
sharp sense of her mother's utter
selifishness ' weakened momentarily
the purpose that upheld 'her. Gay
should be here, slipping out into
the murmurous night on her own
dark, errand, instead of sitting shel-
tered and secure with her husband
while another went in her place.
Yet Gay could laugh
The summer night enveloped
Lisbeth. The door closed silently
•behind her. She,." wouldn't turn
back now. She =couldn't let Gay
drown. She had given her promise.
The roadster that had been her
stepfather's gift for •her birthday
stood on the drive where she had
requested a chauffeur to leave
it. Lisbeth got/ in; and the power
ful motor purred under her lin-
u s. The moonlit 'beauty of the
,ouads was, Lost on her, driving
''gif-mile to the highways, As
-Sle slowed between tall stone
'gateposts, t'he lights of an . in-
turnng car blinded her momen-
tarily. • But it swerved aside, stop•
ping to let her pass. Then the
night was dark again and the
wheels of Lisbeth's roadster sang
on the smooth cement.
The address Gay had given her
proved to .he a modest hotel on
the near north side of Chicago.
Lisbeth's tongue felt• thick, telling
the suave -looking man at •the desk,
"Mr. Terry. He's -expecting me."
"Yes. A'lt, yes, of course. You're
to go right up. Mr. Terry's suite
is number seven -twenty." The
man smiled and •bowed. His glance
slid speculatively over Lisbeth,
Reid opened: the door immedi-
ately in response to her knock. A
smiling Reid, as debonair as ever.
His dank eyes widiening a little at
sight of Lisbeth, his smile grew
more sardonic. He exclaimed,
taking her hand, drawing her in-
to a small -but comfortably furn-
ished sitting -room, "This is a sur-
prise.! A pleasant one, of course.
How lovely you're looking, my
dear. Though not quite so lovely
as your mother. And, speaking of
Gay, I was laboring under the de-
lusion that my engagement tonight
was with her."
