“I’ll meet you at 11, then,”
Tamar replaced the receiver with
trembling hands* Her mirrored
face frightened her, ‘I must not

her hair and remembered that she
must call Ranny before he left fox*
the office. He answered the
phone himself.
Talks to Ranny
“Tam! It’s grand to hear

good morning to you before I left
the house, and now you’ve done it
for me. Tamar, you angel, I’ve
been numb for three 'days, and

Just a moment.”
Tamar was so lovely, propped up
on the big pillows. Her dark hair
lay in shining ringlets and waves
about her shoulders, the pink satin
of her gown with its lacy yoke
made her white shoulders more
beautiful than a lovely old portrait.

that^swept over her face. The color
left her cheeks, but her eyes did not
falter. “How nice, Selby! Yes, of
course I will, darling.”
Tamar’s fingers were numb on
the receiver, and it slid out of them
with a jangle.

Tamar heard her father's step
outside. “Come in, Dad. I want

Slie smiled happily as the door
opened. “Why, you’re bright as
I feel.”
Tamar thought she had never
seen him looking so weary and so
harassed as he did this morning.
She spoke with an effort, covering
up for him. Knox would not feel
safe for her as long as the abduc

three preceding ones. He was hap

smiled at her and added:

Tamar looked at him out of
steady blue eyes. “The Major is
playing with, fire to get UP before
a court to have questions shot at
him,”- She saw that he was startl
ed, and added: “I can’t tell you any
more than that!” •

She Meets Christopher

hand, walked up to the car and put
out the other hand. “t+’« tn

She dismissed the
an attempt at light laughter. “Let’s
not think about it and ruin this
wonderful morning.”
“Lock your car and I’lL tie my
horse and let’s walk along the path.
Look at the foliage on the trees.
Isn’t it beautiful with the, sun
glinting on it?” Christopher threw
the reins across the accommodat
ing branch of a nearby tree, and
Tamar turned the key in the coupe.
, They walked dovp the path to
gether, he stooping occasionally to
pull back trespassing vines across
it. Here underneath the ancient
trees the sun crept through in lacy
leaf design. It was so quiet that
an occasional red squirrel looked
out inquisitively and then scam
pered up the tree trunk.
To the side of them flowed the
Chestatee, now lazily with the gold
en sparkle of sun upon it, now flash
ing in a myriad of colors over a
small natural waterfall, or blurb-
ing over brown stones imbedded in
old fords.
Tamar looked ahead and saw the
span of the bridge that connected
the two main highways. It seemed
too artificially man-made here in
this perspective. She and Ranny
, had watched the men working on
it the summer it was built, and
they had been too close to danger
for the good of her conscience
many times.
Ranny had always dared to do
the impossible, and she must fol
low lest he think her dull. She
brushed the thought from her im
patiently. Why must the remem
brance of him clambering about on
the trestles come at this moment!
“How is you work going now
at the Cricket Hill?” she asked to
start some form of conversation*
“Very well. We have gone into
that vein of the mother lode, and
the assay is very high. We’ll soon
replace the gold bricks that were
stolen, even if they’re never re-
, covered,”
Some Questioning
Then he was here night before
last, she was thinking.
She walked along swinging her
arms rythmically, keeping up with

“Of course,” the expression of
his eyes did not change. “I can
see tlxe shaft of the famous horse
rising fronx the lot, at a certain
hill close to the mine. From the
top of the hill, I get a very fine
view of all of Shadwell.”
Tamar did not dare go back to
discuss the shaft of Talxlalineka I.
It would be dangerous to say more
about it, unless she intended to
tell him where the ransom money
had been placed. , That information
had been "kept ' from the reporters.
They had only published that the
payment had been made,
A Change Comes 1
Tamar wanted to forget about
everything that pertained to her
recent experience. She wanted to
ask him about Selby and discuss
things of a more personal nature,
yet, she coul’d not bring them to
the sufrace. Selby’s voice had Vi
brated with happiness over the
wires this morning. Tamar knew
there was only one secret that Selby
would have to tell her. And it con
cerned the man by her side.
Suddenly Tamar was aghast with
the thought that had just occurred
to her. The pain that had engulfed
her heart the evening that Selby
and hex* brother had eaten dinner
with them, had disappeared. She
rexnembered how like a leaden thing

Canada’s Airpower Takes Righl-of-Way
Airpower will win this war airpower plus navy
— airpower plus army — airpower plus total
resources.
The Commonwealth Air Training Plan is pro
ducing airpower at top speed: 4000 training
planes flying a million miles a day from 92
training centres; 5000 more being delivered this
year from Canadian factories; soon 25 Cana
dian squadrons in Britain, more to follow.
This vast programme means literally tliou
sands of additional telephone calls, urgent
calls, calls that must get through promptly
if the job of fitting wings to Empire is to
proceed without delay.
Perhaps your telephone line doesn’t carry
. messages directly concerned with Canada’s
production of airpower. But avoiding de
lays on your line helps clear others that
do, because yours is part of an interlock
