And the girl's, thoughts were filled with memories of the night, three weeks ago, when she had driven her roadster into, the spa. She. had been amazed to find no newspa- per references' to the thing she feared most. But even so, the girl of that night was no longer. Three weeks after a •cream colored raodster had been found wrecked in the sea at the foot of a cliff, a girl calling herself Anne Cushing appears at the desert town Marston. She has bought, sight unseen, a ranch locat- ed thirty miles away. Barry Duane, her nearest neighbor and his man, Boone, Petry procure a reliable wo- man for her and in Barry's car, load- ed down with supplies, they start a- cross the desert. In Marston her re- ticence has aroused •suspicion. NOW GO ON WITII THE STORY "My great -great-grandfather built it, and Duanes have lived in it ever sine. suppose c I pp e itwill have to ge out of the family some day, unless I make my million." ' He hesitated. "Mother is very reserved. She does- n't give herself out readily. But that will be all right as soon as she knows you better." Anne wanted to cry out fiercely: "She isn't just reserved! She's cold and selfish and ambitious, and she hates me!" But she nodded wisely instead. "You darling." He tossed herhat on the bed and pulled her toward him. "Nancy, I'm getting madder about you every day of my life." She gave herself '.up to that. ek ak * Mrs. Duane's dinner hour was fash- ionahly late. Barry had already dressed and gone down. Anne had just finished her own dressing and stood critically inspecting the result. Barry hail insisted on staying over 10 town longenoughh£oilemto buy sev- eral new gowns, Anne knew why he had done it. One evening gown was not enough for Granleigh; summer called for sport clothes. She was not to meet critical eyes unprepared. Anne smiled at herself in the glass, thinking absently of the moral sup- port of clothes, especially when oth, er women were involved. She switched the 'lights off and parted the curtains at the nearest window, Darkness was falling. Be- yond the hedge a man walked slowly, turning his head at each passing car. She watched him,' idly wondering why he was Ioitering along like that. He stopped to light a cigarette, A match spurted into flame, and the flare lit his face. Anne shrank hurriedly back into the room, dragging the heavy mar - tains together. This was ghastly. What could possibly bring him to this part of the country again, straight to Granleigh? "I mustn't let it get suet It won't do .. I've got to see him, somehow." Therewas a tap on the door. It was Mathews. "Mr. Barry wishes me to tell you that Miss Pendleton is here." So the Pendleton girl was here al- ready! M'm. Anne gave a last quick glance in the mirror and went slowly downstairs. Anne went down with unhurried_. grace, half smiling. Barry looked up, a quick flash of pride in his answering smile. Cleo Pendleton 'Molted up also. "Here's Nancy now." Cleo slipped from the arm of the chair and met Anne half -way. "Pm Cleo Pendleton. I wanted*to be' the first to meet you. I hope yen will like me a lot, because I'm one of Barry's old friends, I've been count- ing on having you here," "That's awfully nice of you." Anne was sweet but nom-ecosnmittal. "It makes' me feel that I'm not a stranger 'here after al]." "Oh, is this your very first trip East?" There was a second's pause. "I lived' in the Bast for a while. But I've never been here before." "O -oh," said Cleo,• softly. "But 1 hope you're going to stay this time. We've all been arguing for years to Make Barry stay home, but he won't listen to us." "I always listen. Barry grinned at her. "And then do as you please." 'Oleo shrugged a petulant s boul- der,. and then laughed. "All right, if you won't tell me. But I like Nan- cy better than I do you. , . You'll let me call you Nancy, won't you?R,. "Why—of course.... My naive really is Anne . not that it makes any difference," "Barry calls you Nancy, I. like it Vetter, too. But I must trot dutifully back before Dad calls nut the re- serves." Out in the hall there were voices. A. door had opened. "Good-bye, Nancy. I'm going to stop for you some morning, and we'll dash around and do things." Cle whisked out with a careless wave Barry chuckled silently. "She's an irresponsible imp! II called after Matthews, just returnin down the hall. "Who was that, Mat thews?" "A man looking for a job, sir. chauffeur. He was quite insistent a bout seeing you." "I told him,' Masthews continued '!you were entirely satisfied with th present man." "Quite right." He suddenly re- membered something. "Oh,. Mate thews, is m ymother. out? I knock ed at her door, but there was . no ans wer. "No, sir. She's'changed her rooms to the west wing. I think she wil be in presently, for dinner." "Oh . thank you, Matthews." His voice was quite colorless. Mat thews went hastily. Both of them knew that the west wing had no been opened for years. Anne, listening idly, could com very close to guessing what had hap pened.... And this was only her firs day in Barry's home. Meantime Cleo'Pendleton, who was /eastle not in the ea huddled ed u sulkily back in the limousine. "Hurry, I'm 'late!" she snapped and the car swept out of the drive so fast that a man crossing the pave- ment sprang aside hastily. He scowl- ed and took an envelope from his pocket and wrote down the license number. "Friends, and rich ones," he thought. "I'll try my luck there. Damn it, I'll, get a job somewhere. I'm going to stick here until some- thing breaks..". "She's no more a ranch girl than I am unless she's one of the awfully rich ones. The way she talks—and the way she wears her clothes! And I thought I could make' him ashamed of her!" The soft lips pursed sullenly, "5 picked up a point or two, any- way. She'd rather be called Anne and. she hadn't told Barry that she'd lived East. Caught that one from him! And something bothered her a- bout the evindows ... but that sounds crazy. The funniest thing is that she looks familiar to me.... Just a little familiar." o tally nothing to sell, except those ' worthless Western lands. If hitt mother has any influence with him, e he will never go there again," g ' Anne sat very straight, "I: see," she said softly. "You" have made it quite elear to me. Thank you." A A, declaration of war had been - made and answered. Anne told Barry seine of it late , that evening, anxious to conveya e hint of warning. "You see," Barry explained, in that careful way, "my uncle was real- ly the head :of the Duane Mills. My - father had died years before, when I was a baby, and Uncle Bab: had bought in a further share from. my 1 mother. Father's will left everything lto her. Uncle Bob was unmarried, and meant' to pass on the control of the mills to me." Anne murmured something, she scarcely knew what. So Mrs. Duane t did hold the check book! e "Uncle. Bob was different from the - rest of the Duane's. His health t wasn't good; and one March, after an attack of pneumonia, he went eff for a year in the West. When he got into the Pines Valley scheme it was easy to think of the mills as a solid asset to back something better. He was so sure of success that he fin- anced it entirely bine:e.f. He didn't take anybody else's money, but of course there were—reprecussions. In the next few weeks they danc- ed and dined, lunched and motored, and dashed from one engagement to another. The telephone tinkled in- cessantly. It was fun, but sometimes Anne was achingly homesick for the sun - washed Junipero, She and Barry seemed to have so little tune for each other here. Not once in those flying days had Anne caught a glimpse of the man who had loitered in front of the house that night. She watched for him, but he seemed to have disappeared. It could, she decided, have been pure coincidence. Jim had probably gone on before this to the gayer haunts where he was more at home. CIeo Pendleton was in and out con scantly and at all hours. She amused Barry, and in her kitten -impish way managed to monopolize him a good deal. "Baby vamp!" Anne thought scornfully.. The more she saw of Cleo the less she cared for her, but intimacy seemed to be thrust upon her. Anne wondered if Mrs. Duane held the check book as well as the house- hold control. , . . That would be em, barrassing for Barry; she would have to wait until he told her. What she needed to do first, she told .herself, was not to make trouble but to coax Barry's mother to like her. What Anne could not know was how ruinously the secret hope of years had cradled when Barry had sent that sudden word of his mar- riage. Mrs. Duane was a proud and strong-willed woman, hating poverty and all that it meant. Barry could have married, Cleo. Pendleton, and Cleo Vould`have brought him wealth and leisure.'' Mrs, Duane hated the very name of Eagle Lake. The knowledge of this deep-rooted bitterness came'te Anne shortly. She had tried to bridge the recurring sil- ences of a tete-a-tete lunch by talk- ing for ;once of something less im- personal: than dinners 'and minor it- ems of .Granleigh news. , "Youhave never been to the Perch, have you ? It is like a beautiful mountain camp You must visit us there next summer." "I have never been interested in the place. I hope, now that my son is married, he will definitely give up that kind of life." "Olt, but his heart le in it I'd be willing to see him .eell everything else that he owned, and live in a' but with him, ,if he could raise the money for the damn that way.' - Mrs. Duane's thin cheeks flushed slightly. "I have no desire to see my son living in a hut. Barry has practi- "The crash came, and all that re- mains of the Duane ownership is the name and comparatively small block of stock which my mother still holds. For the sake of the name I have a nominal office. The real head is Gage." She moved suddenly. "Who?" "John Gage. He was Uncle Bob's chief creditor, and all sorts of a miI- lionaire." She did not answer. Barry was looking soberly ahead of him, and did not notice her frozen stillness. "I have the Western lands," Bar- ry went on," which barely meet their own overhead er head as things stand and just enough income for our per, sonal expenses here. Sometimes I'mn tempted to throw the whole thing up and get a job. Any job. It might be better than hanging around like this, half -way between a visionary and a lounge lizard." "You're not! I won't have you cal- ling yourself names like that! .And you're not going to give all your hopes up, either." She gave his shoulders a furious little shake, al- most in tears for him, "If things are iike that we can't afford to Iive in Granieigh. You're not really needed here, and we could go back and make the ranch pay and save a lot of use- less expenses. I don't mind being poor." "I know you don't, you good little sport, but there's a serious hitch." He looked uncomfortable again, a little on the„ defensive, "When the crash came, my mother was prostrated, and I gave her my word that I would stay East at least six months out of every year, as long as she lived. , , , Sorry you married me, Nancy?" "Never!" She hugged hint im- pulsively, "Don't you dare give it np. It's coming all right. You wait and see."' But her heart was heavy. Anne heard the swish of a car corn- ing in the drive. Usually 'Cleo carie in the roadster, preferring to drive herself, but today a long grey limousine waited (there. A chauffeur stood by the door. He was a new man, Anne looked toward him casually, and her eyes stayed. For an in- Stant they seemed to cling to him in frozen recognition. The chauffeur slipped easily into his own.seat. There had not been a glimmer of surprise in his face; only a cool watchfulness. Cleo's eyes widened. This was too good to be true. These two knew each other. Berry's wife and a chauffeur! "I ditched the roadster yesterday, so I'm giving it a rest until the par- ent stops roaring" Cleo sat watching Barry's wife with bright, slanting .glances.'' Anne talked when she had to, listened to Cleo, commented and even laughed, but now and then her. hands moved nervously in her lap, and her eyes went back to that smartly uniformed figure in front. The tennis finals were on when they arrived, It, was good tennis, but Anne.. found herey es wanderingoff toward a wide arc of parked cars. What was Jim doing here? When it was over, Cleo lingered, a little in the rear, but Anne slipped ahead to where the limousine stood. "Jim I must see you alone. Just as .soon as possibue." "Yes, we ought to have a lot to talk 'about." • There was a jeer in the guarded tone. He opened ,the door for her, without the faintest change of expression. ^I guess; you know where to find me." Cleo's lightsteps were behind ft , _ -.- T WiDE VARIETY OF. 81G AND SMALL -GAME HUNTING GROUNDS EASILY REACHED 1 3 ae URING recent years there has been an , exceptional increase in the number of people of this country who enjoy the sport of hunting and many thousands go afield yearly, with ,rifle, or shotgun. No other section of the world can offer to the eportsman the same favourable conditions as prevail in Canada with its immense areas of virgin territory within rapid and comfortable means of aocess. Vast Hunting Areae This country possesses over1,000,000 square miles of forest, which helters game animals ranging from the timid rabbit to the huge and dangerous grizzly bear. Moose, caribou, elk, deer bighorn sheep, mountain goat, timber wolf and bear are plentiful and may be hunted during open seasons of generous length. Wild Fowl Abundant Tho numerous lakes and ponds of northern Canada are the breeding places of the main waterfowl popu- lation of the American continent, consequently ducks, geese and other waterfowl are plentiful, in normal years. The reified grouse or partridge is the most important upland bird and is common to every province, while woodcock, prairie chicken, Hungarian partridge and ptarmigan provide good sport, 'kr certain districts. h SEASONS OF GENEROU8 LENGTH Hunting Grounds Easy of Access Accessibility is an outstanding feature of much of Canada's hunting territory. The country is well served by roads, railways and steamboat lines, over which the sportsman may travel in comfort, to the "going in" point. Areas previouely inaccessible may also now be reached by air- plane in a few hours' flight. De- training or "going in" points are numerous throughout game areas and at these will be found reliable outfitters and qualified guides, who are prepared to look after the sports- man's every need and guidance while in the hunting territory. In several of the provinces it is compulsory for the bunter to be accompanied by a guide but, even in those provinces where it is not compulsory, it is often advisable to engage guides. These men, being familiar with the territory in which they operate, are able to add greatly to the enjoy- ment and success of the trip. Conservation of Game In Canada a practical form of eonservatign is found in the setting aside of tracts of public lands, as game reserves, and in the rigid protection of game in its extensive national': and provincial parks. In these areas the game multiplies rapidly, under protection, and spreads over into the surrounding country. This favourable condition, coupled with sound protective legislation regulating the open seasons, bag limits, issuing of licences, etc., r, j i\. assures continuance of a supply of game animals and birds m their native habitat, Canada is thus able to offer the hunter exceptional opportunities for sport in season. Hunting with Camera To the camera -hunter and the student of wild life, the Canadian Provinces offer unusual opportuni- ties for interesting experiences and records. There is no closed season on game, to the camera -hunter and, throughout the ' year, be will find favourable conditions to study the habits ofg ame animas an d birds and to photograph them in their natural surroundings. Game Lawa of the Provinces The game laws of the different provinces are drafted. by the provincial Governments with a view to meeting local conditions; conse- quently there is no uniform game law for the Dominion as a whole. As these game laws are subject to revision from year to year, persons contemplating a hunting trip are advised to obtain copies of the current game laws and regulations of the province in which they intend to hunt. The National Development Bureau of the Department of the Interior at Ottawa will gladly supply infor- mation on hunting in Canada, by. either complying with requests, or referring same to other sources from which the particulars desired may be obtained. them.
