On her wedding morning she awakens with a strange premonition that maybe love does change, a thought buried in her mind by a. let- ter from her closest friend, Barbara, the night before. Pauline adored Barbara who had been married, was the 'mother of a child which died, but now divorced and living a life which some of her friends could not ender - stand. Between Dennis and Barbara is a seeming wall of personal dislike by both. Six months after Pauline's wedding, Barbara comes for a short stay. During This visit Barbara con- fesses to Pauline that there is a man she really Ioves, but re refuses to tell his name. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "Oh, yes, at the Chile" "Because I'd love to get you some- thing to eat if you're hungry." She looked as if she hoped he would say he was. "No. thank you, dear!" The last little word was spoken unconsciously, but it warmed her heart She perched herself on his knee and put her arms round his neck. "Have you missed me?" "You baby! What do you want tale to say?" • directly at him. "I came down for a book. 'I had no idea you were in. So sorry!" site added again, a little senile curving her lips. "Good night!" and she went away. Dennis looked angry. "Good -aught," said Pauline. "She knew good and well we were here," he said. "Damn the woman!" he added under his breath, "I told you I knew Barbara was- n't happy," Pauline informed him lat- er on when she was lying cosily in bed. "I wouldn't tell anyone but you, Dennis, darling, but she does love someone—frightfully!" "Half a dozen. of 'em, I should think!" "No—seriously, one!" Pauline in- sisted. "There was quite a different look about her when she told me," She lay still watching him with adoring eyes. Presently she said shy- ly, "Dennis?" "Um?" "You love ane best in all the world don't yoe?" "What would you do if I said the answere was in the negative?" he asked, teasingly. "Die," Pauline whispered. "Then you may safely live," he assured her. Pauline sighed andclosed her eyes. It was no use; she realized that nothing on earth wouldever make Dennis romantic. It was at breakfast the next morn- ing that Barbara announced she must go home that day, "home" meaning the queerly furnished flat in Greenwich where she kept the cloth - es ea • • "I lay awake tlti'.rrerh g • re • R you," she said in her c:* -.. -ram voice.

Dennis scowled and took upthe. p "Se sorry," said Barbara, looking paper. Barbara might be in love, he told .himself, reanembering Pauline's words last night,but that any man could possibly fall in love with her. Pauline came into the room at that moment. "Why -- Barbara!" she said amaz- ed. "Yes—myself in the flesh," Bar- bara said calmly. "I had a wire this morning on urgent business, 1 must go back home." "Go back! You haven't been here a week. "I'Il cone back—never fear! Your spare -room bed is too comfortable to forget," said. Barbara, Barbara was stirring her coffee with an irritating little tinkle of sil- ver against the china cup, "I won- der if I may ring up for a taxi pres- ently," she said. "Dennis will drive you down," Pauline said quickly. "He has to go down to Albany on business this morning—you told me so last night," she added faintly, meeting her hus- band's annoyed eyes. "I said I might have to," he an- swered. "Delighted." "Do you hate many people as much as you hate ane?" Barbara ask- ed Dennis later on, when they were driving away in the little two-seater car. "People who hate well generally love well,°' Dennis said surlily. "Yes." Barbara's queer eyes look- ed straight ahead down the road. "I should think you would make quite a good lover," she agreed. Dennis jerked the wheel. "I dare say Pauline could give you any information you require," he said. "A lover and a husband—two diff- erent things," Barbara said, sweetly. "Aren't we talking a lot of rub- bish?" Dennis said with exasperation. Barbara folded her hands in her lap with mock resignation. "Very well — from now until our ;journey's end I am dumb," she said mockingly. Dennis quickened speed. The jour- ney could not be at an end too soon. for him. They turned onto one of the new broad arterial roads, and he let the engine out to its fullest ex- tent. He never dared do such a thing when Pauline was with him. Pres- ently he stole a sidelong glance at her. She was sitting very still, per- fectly controlled and unmoved. She was a strange woman, he thought, 'through the glass panels she could and almost angrily he wished he un- derstood her. see the burly outline of a man's wait - yes, with difficulty he sorted the'. words from the confusion in bis brain-- "She does love someone— frightfully!"

She was not feeling very happy. Bar barn's sudden departure had hurt her and left her puzzled. Pauline longed to be a perfect. hostess as well as a perfect wife. Her anxious mind explored every nook and cranny of her household to find in what particular detail she had fail- ed in hospitality, and reluctantly she decided it must have been her hus- band. - Dennis was never nice to Barbara. It was impossible to disguise the fact that he did not like her. This morn- ing at breakfast time, for instance, he had shown only too plainly that he objected to taking Barbara in the car. It was' too bad of him. Pauline carefully arranged the red roses in a silver bowl—a wedding present. Only six months ago since she had unpacked it, together with a host of other lovely things. Only six months? It seemed a long time, and yet. she knew people who had been married for sixteen years—twenty years, thirty years and even longer. "I expect the time will go more quickly when we're really settled down and used to being married," Pauline told herself with a little feel- ing of satisfaction. A sharp thorn from one of the roses gave Pauline a nasty prick, and it was while she was. busily wiping away the tiny bead of blood from her finger that the door bell rang. "The postman!" 'Pauline thought as she, went to the' front door, but the little letter box was enipty and Barbara suddenly tuoched his arm. "There is a crossroad just ahead," she said in her calm voice. "I am not at all afraid, but you are driving rather recklessly, you know, and there is Pauline to consider, so..." Afterward he wondered stupidly what she had been going to say, but her words were lost in a chaos of shouting and, confusion and the grinding of brakes -- and then -- struggling struggling back to consciousness he heard her voice still, agonized, brok- en with tears—unlike the cool, indif- ferent tones to which he had grown se irritatingly accustomed. "Oh, my dear---Dennis---Dennis— speak ear=Dennis tennis—speak to me—Dennis! It was a dream—opening his eyes he was conscious of a confusion of sky and clouds from which Barbara's face wet with tears and white with dread bent over him. So she could 'feel, after all! Paul- ine had been right, and she had a heart hidden away beneath all her artificialities. Pauline had said something "else about her, too. What was it? Oh, ing figure. Pauline opened the door, then she caught her breath sharply, for the man wore an officer's uniform. He looked' at Pauine with kindly eyes. "Mrs. 'O'Hara? he queried doubt- fully. "Yes," Pauline was panicky. Did she owe one of the tradesmen any- thing? She had always been so, care- ful about not getting into debt. She was a thousand miles from the truth when the man reluctantly broke the news to her. "I am sorry to say there has been a bit of an accident, Gentleman by name O'Hara—". Pauline thought she would have. died on the spot, ' Dennis hurt! Killed! "Oh, my God!" she whispered, white -lipped. (Continued Next 1Veek) "Why so sad?" "I asked Muriel to marry me and she refused." "That oughe notto worry you," "I don't mind for myself, but I am sorry for Muriel."

IN CANADA 4u�uuoo®11.1”n..,a.ao.eam.sir41.11.e.oe oeommomso World Wide News In Brief For Manitoba Farmers Raid Town Office Winnipeg—Municipal offices in the town of Arborg, Man., were storm- ed, clothes torn from the Reeve, who was later forced to resign, and many files of records, including assesment sheets, scattered to the winds as a force of 500 farmers protesting ag- ainst the sale of farms for taxes. Clothes were stripped from the Reeve's back and hiss face slapped. Irate demonstrators jumped on his toes. Then he was forced to sign a letter of resignation -and call off a tax sale. Unemployment Conference Ottawa — Tuesday, Jan. 17, has. been fixed definitely as the date for the opening of the Dominion -Pro- vincial Conference on Unemployment and Allied Problems. Official an- nouncement to nnouncement'to this effect was made by Prime Minister R, B. Bennett. - Telegrams have been, received from each of the Premiers of . the several Provinces, and all Provinces, it is stated, will be representedat the opening of the parley. Contribu- tory social insurance will be one of the major subjects on the agenda. France Asks Postponement of Payment Paris — Premier Edouard Herriot sent the new .French request for postponement of • the $20,000,00 in- terest payment due the United States on Dec. 15 to Ambassador Pau Claus del in Wishington. The fresh note was approved and officially polished at a Cabinet meeting over which President Albert Lebrun presided. Its contents were not published 'of- ficially, but it was generally under- stood ; the main argument of the first French memorandum to Washington will be renewed; namely, that post- ponement is necessary in the best in- terests of every one. Britain Emphasizes Need of Debt Cancellation — Plan Trade Retaliation London—The new British note to the United States on war debts con tains a carefully worded, but none the less significant, warning that if the United States insists upon pay- ment of the Dec. 15 instalment the United Kingdom will be forced to take measures restricting, imports of American goods. It is emphasized in high Govern- ment circles that, while in the new note the British argument for sus- pension of the payment is fully stat- ed, and supported by facts and fig- ures, the greatest care has been tak- en to put it into unprocovative forme but the note deals with the relative experiences of Britain and, the Un- ited States, so far as war debts are - con cerned. The notefollows the United States negative reply to the first British re- quest for •suspension of the payment• due on Dec. 15, which is of $95,550,- 000,_ including principal of $30,000,- 000. 30,000,000. It makes no actual declaration, whether in the event of insistence by the United States, the payment will be met, although it points out pay- talent would distract exchanges at the present time. Majesty's Government trust that the full statement of their views. which they have now made will de- montsrate clearly," the note con- cludes, "the ground upon which their request was based, namely, their own profound conviction that a resump- tion of the war -debt payments as they existed before the Hoover mor- atorium would inevitably deepen the depression in world trade and would' lead to further falls in commodity prices with disastrous consequences from winch no nation would be ex- emtp." It stresses appreciation of the Un- ited States intimation the war debts - might be later reconsidered, but also points out that suspension of the 'im- pending payments is essential: if this rr--examination is to take place in a proper 'atmosphere. British Railwaymen To Oppose Wage Cuts London—D. Dobbie, 'President of the National Union of Railwaymen, charged that British railway compan- ies had "the whole force of capital- ism" behind them in their attempt to• secure further reductiohs of wages. paid their employees.
