Mrs. Ru•h Knowles, the "skipper" of the Friendship, anchored at Charing Crass Pier, London, which is the headquarters of the Honorable Company of Friendly Adventurers, started "fortnight's land cruises abroad" in 1928, "We took 150 chil- dren to Germany and Belgium," she declared, "and we were so successful that when I approached the German authorities on the subject of accom- modation for this year, they offered me anything I• liked. "Pageants are to be given in our honor, too, depicting incidents in the history of England and Germany. Private ears are also being lentus, so that the children will be able to spend a fortnight travelling 600 miles in Germany at a cost of only £2 10s. a week each.

Ottawa announces the formation of a new national park, to be called Riding Mountain National Park and to contain 1,148 square miles. It &insists of rolling wooded hills in the western part of Manitoba, north of Iation was provided for in the natural resources agreement sign- ed on Deeember 14 between Premier Bracken of Manitoba and the Ped- eral Government. The area was for- merly a forest reserve. "The new national preserve," says a memorandum . prepared by the parks branch, Department of the In- terior, "will be easily accessible from all parts of the province of Manitoba and outside points. As -a wild life sanctuary, Riding Mountain National Park should prove all that could be desired. Numbers of moose, deer and elk now make their homes in the district." Air Girl Guides. A new portent has arrived --- the Air Girl Guide. A squadron of Air Girl Guides consistingof fifty daugh- ters of airmen, has been formed at Cranwell Airdrome, England, to "en- courage air -mindedness among girls." Mrs. Frederick. Halahan, wife of Air Vice -Marshal F. Crosby Halahan, D.S.O., who is commanding officer at the airdrome, and her daughter, Pa- tricia, were the instigators of the movement. The girls have been giv- en smart Air Force blue uniforms, and twice a week they are instructed at the airdrome in all the duties and responsibilities of airwomen. We have Sea Scouts among the boys, but so far no Air Scouts. Have the girls stolen a march (or a night) on the boys? asks Tit-Bita, Thousand Carat Gem.

In a game in which partners for the evening are chosen, Lucy is won by Tim Stevens who has a great reputation as a heart- breaker. Leeson is a bit jealous. Tim Stevens tells Lucy they are going aboard his boat, the Minerva, and she accedes in order not to be "a quitt- er," Asked if she is sorry that he won her company she says she is not and that evidently Fate has arranged it. Tim thereupon tells her to stop looking regretfully after Leeson, Aboard Stevens' boat, the Minerva, Stevens tells Lucy of his love, When she replies with contempt for him, he grows violently angry and she be- comes afraid of him. He says that he will never let her go from the ,Minerva until she accepts him. To escape him, slie leaps into the water from her cabin window, swimming a !short distance tinder water. Lucy reaches land and meets Dr. Fergus Faunce on an island, He takes care of her and takes her Borne. Everyone is worried about her, and when she meets Stevens he is frantic, regretful and still ardent in protesta- tions of love, • _doaaaO•.... • o aurae ea -- Now Go On With The Story "We start from here, then; I took you away with me; I frightened you; I drove you to almost certain death. But . . we start from there. Is that it?" "From where else could we start?" she countered. And you . . you can't forgive me, Lucy Harkness?" • "Can you make me? That seems to be the question," she answered. He rose from his chair, fatigue shook her head, "Not yet a while, Titn. Perhaps never. Yon. know, after all, you did- n't .trump my ace, or move as I putt- ed. You did—tried to do—a thing that you must have known would have caused me to kill myself. But enough of that. We start again." After he left she leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes,. "We Start again," she murmured. "But where shall 1 lead him?" The curved lips straightened harshly, and the hands that rested upon the arias of the wicker chair suddenly gripped them. Then she relaxed. She was able to summon a perfectly natural smile to her lips as, in response to the noise of the iron knocker upon the gate, a Jap admitted Leeson to the patio. A nice -looking boy, she told her- self as lie advanced eagerly. Clean, well built, and enthusiastic. She liked this latter quality in 'him. She liked fresh eagerness in the viewpoint of life. Too much of it had gone from her; perhaps because the people she knew played around with were too sophisticated, too ennied with the u business of living. Perhaps she could regain some of it from Leeson. "You didn't come back to Mrs. Clary's last night," he accused, as he bent over her hand. "Did you expect me to?" she in- quired. "Of course. I. hoped so." "But you lostj" she said. "On a fSul," he reminded her, She shrugged. "We, threshed that out last night. I like winners, as I told you." "Did Stevens keep you away?" he asked. • She straightened in her chair. • "That's a strange question," she told him. He brushed his forehead nervously. "You're no aafnt, Lucy Harkness. If you were I'd not love you dropping from him like a bath -gown from a bather t r on the beach. That amazing virility which was himself, but which this morning had been ab- sent, returned to him in a rush. "I don't like equal chances," he cried, "I want the odds against me. Two to one, ten to one, a hundred to one!" "They are," she reminded him. "And , , , and what shall we tell . 1?eople are curious." "I came home," she said calmly, "in my bathing -suit. If your crew and Modane—" "They'll say nothing," he promised. "And, naturally, we won't!" she promised. He shook his head. "You're no saint, Lucy Harkness. If you were, I'd not love you. You're flesh and blood and wavy hair and long lashes and pink and tan skin, and . . human! You can't fool me, You're going to do something .. ," "Which ought to make life inter- esting, Tint," she chuckled. "Trying to outguess a woman is hard enough under ordinary circumstances, but, under these . But perhaps' your blood has cooled. In emotion we want things, promise things, do things that contemplation causes tis to regret,. An hour ago death was an adventure which you welcomed. Now a flirtation seems dangerous. Well, go your own way, Tim Stev- eris," "I'll go yours," he cried. "Th; e way of Fate." She laughed, "We'll see." "You hate. me. You'll get ;even, some way . . ." He paused, too puzzled to continue. "Of course I hate yon," she return- ed urn - ed evenly. "I think you're Iow, bee - tie!. What has that to do with Fate?" "You're •'daring ine," he asserted. "And you're afraid to take a darer" she 'accused. , used. But I ve given you all the time I can this morning, I'm due. at the teach Club." He held out a tentative hand. She I ceney," he declared. "And he isn't 'a client any. longer. .'The 'firm have !telegraphed that, owing • to many things, he is no longer a client. 'They've asked me to remain down here a while; ordered me to to get in touch with him, to get eplana- tions of certain matters, to. settle .tip affairs with hiin." , "And you out of common decency —was that it?—tell me, who have np interest in the affairs of Mr. Stevens or your firm, that the latter is too holy to deal with the former. Stick to professional ethics, Mr. Leeson; they. will get you farther than common de- cency, it seems to me. Professional ethics are laid down for you; you don't have to guess at them. But commony decency is open to inter- pretation, and a cad will interpret it according to his caddishness." "That is not merely unfair; it is dishonest," he said. His color, his embarrassment had vanished. He was not the nervous youth who had en- tered the patio, but a• cool and ,poll ected 'attorney, willing and able to challenge her, to pick up where she left off. "Why isn't it?" she demanded. "Because when a woman is involv- ed a man must not protect another man. ' He must protect the woman." "You think I need protection?" she asked coolly. "This man. Stevens is a beast; any woman would need protection from him, and almost any man who wash' forewarned. And I , . . isn't any- thing fair in love or war?" "ls there a war-?" she asked. "Perhaps there's love," he retorted. "We met last night," she reminded him, "And again now," he said, "And about Stevens?" • "There's going to be a warrant is- sued for his arrest, to -day, unless he settles a certain matter, And he can't settle. It's for a quarter of a million cash. That he stole. That's why I conte, caddishly, to you, to warn you not to have anything to do with him." "Did you think he'd borrow from ne?" she asked idly. "Oh, I didn't mean to say all this!" he cried. "I . . I wanted to see , you, And I'd worried, as Mrs. Clary had done; and then . , . you defend tevens, and . . Well, I've told you." "Most unethically, and not even common decency. Your ex -client-" "To my present client." He.smiled. "You didn't know? Your lawyers, Maddox: and Roe, have just joined our firm Another reason why I am staying longer than I'cl intended. The firm—the new firm, Maddox,: Timm- er, Roe, Wilson, Crewe and Lovejoy —telegraphed me this morning." "Oh," she said. •. • She hid a sigh of relief when lunch- eon ended. Here formality ceased; one went to the room and at hazard or roulette forgot one's hostess, one's guests. She played a while at a wheel then was conscious of someone stand- ing over her. She turned, to meet Leeson's intense gaze, "Hello!" she said, He knew the etiquette of roulette. "Don't let me disturb you," he said hastily. She shrugged, bet her last few chips, lost, and rose from the table. 'No need to concentrate on the wheel when one's luck is vile. I'm through. Have you been lucky?" "1 can't afford to play," he'said, "I came to luncheon, and ant just' look- ing on. Stevens," and his voice sank to a husky whisper, '9s to be arrest- ed at five:" "Why that hour instead of anoth- er?" she asked, She was hardly con- scious that her every .muscle was tense. "After all, Stevens has been our client. To demand a quarter of a mil- lion from hien on the spot is going too far; To demand it within a few hours is slightly different. Stevens was given that amount of money for a definite purpose. Either he used it for that purpose or should have it accessible. He didn't use it. ;There- fore he must have it. Unless he's stolen it, converted it to his own use.; This, we happen to know, he has done.

"How much can I borrow?" she asked. The teller summoned the president, there was a ten-minute conference. Froin the vaults Lucy brought sec- urities. The loan she asked was t quickly arranged. "And there'll be no word of this leak out?" she asked. The bank 'officials assured her of their silence. "I'll take it in cash," she said.
