Roger got up sed walked to the
window just as the telephone
rang softly,, handy to Roger's .el-
bow. He looked 'inquiringly at ma-
dame and' lifted 'it when she, nod•
led. He did very little talking,: a
great deal of listening.
"Good! We shall see you soon,
my friend!" And he put the tele-
phone down slowly; and looked
earnestly,':appraisingly at hie aunt.
"Order that - coffee and cognac;
madame: You are going to :need
it."
"What —" she Spoke through
the house phone 10 Gesner, turn-
ed then to her nephew. "Tell nee.
Who was that?"
"Old Delorme, your confidential'
agent's clerk. That black devil
Follet has shipped. There's a letter
in his office there for you — and
from what I could gather —. not
much else."
"You mean," Madame picked up
her stick and fingered the knob,
"youmean to say that- Gabriel
Follet has swindled Lie!"
"1 shall go back to the city at
once and see what's to be done,
I'll get some good lawyer. for `you,
I knoW that you wouldn't be in-
terested enough to come with
me." .
"Why not? lt'is a long time
since I have been away from
here, We shall go right after hid
eheon. Perhaps nowthat we are
poor, Meridel and Rudi and the
children will forget their pride
and come back."
The tiny beck parlor of the Coq
d'or held a gay company that
night, The tavern was closed early •
and the little ones, as a very ape-.
cial concession ,were allowed to
stay up a full two hours after their
bed -time. Roger was their hero.
"You must come• to stay with.
us," said Madame, "not just to
visit, If i am able' td remain
there, Meridel, you and the child-
ren must return to me. Now, you
see, the shoe is on the other foot;
it is 1 who am poor .who am to
need of good friends and cheery
faces around me. You would not
leave a poor, helpless old woman
alone!"

She sat in the place of honor
by Jules Goulon'a Muffle and be-
nignly let Rudolph wait upon her,
which he did letah obvious plea-
sure.
"Ah, it is like the good old times,
Rudolph," she said. "I fear it was
not until you were gone that f
realized what a treasure I had In
you."
"Just as i, until 1.became a bar-
on, madame," murmured Rudolph,
"did not know how pleasant is the
lot of a butler"
The children surrounded Roger
and Meridel, questioning Roger,
asking him the meaning of the
bright ribbons on his tunic, beg-
ging him to tell them of his ad-
ventures. in the sky. He waited, as
did Meridel, and madame also,
for queries, some : talk of Bon.
homine Fricot, "that good man
whom the' laughing soldier killed;"
They knew Rosins sand Pol Mar-
tin were- thinking . of 'that, but
something, some childish intuition
kept their little . tongues, away
from the subject.
"You could not take captives
from your airplane, could you?"
asked Pol Martin. "Who takes'
those, prisoners? I know: it's ,the
soldiers on the ground. They take
themand send them over here
and put them in big wire sages.
Gesner told us that there was a
big one full of them deep to the
woods, back of Philibert. •
Roger sat at the fire with Merl.
del after madame had retired,
While Rudolph and Jules went over
their accounts in the little en-
closure in the taproom. Roger's
dark eyes studied her face shyly.
"Vele is the hour 1 waited for,"
he said,' "And 1 'pictured it ,just
like this. There would be a fire
and you and t would sit beside if
and I would know such happiness
as never before. To be near you

Nazis Used Shell
That Chased Target
It is now known that the Ger-

quence of wire controlled wea-
pons know ar 'the "X" series, had
developed an anti-aircraft shell
Shat practically chased its target.
The clumsy Goliath miniature
explosive tank which the Germans
used, largely in Italy, was .a fore-'
runner of this type of weapon.
These weapons !rave an advan
tage of being comparatively free
from enemy interference because

acutual wires.

very light and could be fired
either from the ground, or from.

CHRONICLES
of GINGER FARM
By
Gwendoline P. Clarke
* s *
'What a lot of difference it makes
01 a farm when there is sufficient
—and efficient—help,
With Bob. and young John both
working. like Trojans we were
really able to get somewhere with
the haying last week. Given a few
. more dry days .and all our first
cutting of .hay wit! be safely stowed
away in -the 'barn. Partner has been
helping too, coiling most of the
time. Son and I have both been
urging him to take' it easy. He pay
some attention to us for awhile
and then first thing we know be
is .back in the field again.
*
Just imagine, with all this haying
I haven't had to drive the horses
on the hayfork once- And believe
me, that has been a great relief
to this Woman. Yon might think
after all the year's .I've been', at it
that I would be used to it by now,
yet the fact remains it bothers me
more instead of less with every
passing year. Just old age creeping
on, 1 suppose.
* * *
Next week it _Iooks as if the
wheat will be ready to cut—and
next week we alio hope to have
our first picking of peas from the
garden, Yes., they're a little late,
but better late than never. You,
remember we had some rain in the
spring that prevented folks getting
their gardens in early, However
we mustn't count our peas before
they are picked • because there
is just a chance some visit-.
ing pigs ;nay clean up on
them first in — which case I
shall feel like cleaning up on the
pigs.
* *
One 11101 ping.last week Son and
I made a hurried trip to the city
—Inc were back hone again in
time for dinner. We both had
shopping tc do but for all we were
able to get we blight just as well
have stayed at home. For the
life of me I can't see, why there
Shouldn't be less of the' non-es-
sential garments made and a ,few
More of those that go next to the
skin. And 1 also fail to see why
a certain amount 'of synthetic rub-
ber shouldn't be reserved for mens',
women's and children's undergar-
ments. 1 Wonder if it would be
possible to make an appeal to the
powers that be -and if so, whether
it would have 'any effect.
* * *
But we were on a trip to the
city , . we traveled along the
highway and as I didn't have to
drive. I had plenty of time for
observation. And my ebservations
were anything but encouraging, We
passed arra• of orchard land and
never in all my life have" I seen
less fruit on the trees. It just wasn't
There Onl In one orchard did 1
Fee an chri'1';0--and ver f t
' that. Apt?es, pears, plums and
. peaches were practically . non- -
existent. Here's' hoping this fruit
famine is not quite to bad 'in the
Niagara Peninsula—at least we
have been- told that a fifty .pe`r-
cent peach crop is expected.
* *
As for wild raspberries — show
ire a patch where there are some
and I'll 'be .there with a milk pail
in either hand. The most we can
hope.for around here is a few
blackcaps: And of, course there
won't even be a good .crop of honey
to fall back on. •
And then our son comes- home
from Europe and in response to a
few inquiries as to what he would
like to eat he replies --"Well; I
can tell you 'Mom, you needn't
• be afraid of giving me too many °
fruits, and vegetables!" He also •
asked if he could have some bacon
for breakfast. But Inc has learnt a
thing' or two since that second
day home, especially since he went
shopping for Himself.
* * t'
Isn't, it a strangething that there
should be ,a shortage of so many
things when an abundance is so
greatly needed? One, wonders W it
part of the Master Plan. Fruit
fanzine, drought and flood con-
ditions are beyond man's control
yet they exist to a greater degree:
this year than most' ofus have
ever known. Even the sugar crop
is a partial failure.
Surely the picture as a whole
is one to which we should give
considerable thought — and by
thought I don't mean a series of
complaints. We suffered little
material inconvenience. during the
European war and if our turn is
coining now to suffer a little hard-
ship it is surely up to us to make
the best of it ,pnd prove that we,.
too, can take it on the cliiir, ,
