I could pay him back a thou- sandfold for all the cruel, hurting things he said to me yesterday. She laughed softly, queerly. Jona- than Hillyer looked at her, brows lifted. "Give him his chance, Jon, by all means. rinaueially, I should think it a pretty sound investment. The book will sell. It will have a lot of Class -A, advance publicity— you know how the papers wore full of Jeffry's unhappy and pre- mature end. Perhap" —her voice was strained, high-pitched—"they'd like me to give a statement or two, Or even write a foreword„ You know Jon, 'I was the woman in his life, the woman for love of whom he wrote these deathless things, the woman for whom he died' "— Suddenly her hands covered her face. Jon stopped the car quickly and put his arms about her and held her trembling body close to him, soothing her, talking to her as one would talk to a child. "Don't, Gillian, don't! I'm a stupid idiot! I'll have nothing to do with the book or with Killigrew, Gillian, look at me! You're carryiug too much in your heart," he said earn- estly. "Too much of a burden. You'll break, I tell you." Her mouth was stubborn, and her chin, 'I'll never break, Don't worry about me. There! I'm all Tight new, And, Jon, I'd like you to back the book, to give this Kil- ligrew the chance to publish it.

GET SOME TODMMI I want you to, Jon, Promise me you'll do it!" He took his hands from her shoulders. "Since you ask it, thea I will. But I don't like it. There's something dark, something wrong about all this. I'd like to know what it is." Do You Love Him They drove on, "By the way," said Jon, "I told Killigrew to drop in to see me this weekend at the lodge, He's vacationing in this part of the province somewhere—gipsy- ing around in his car," "I know, I saw him yesterday at Rydal, Ile was swimming in our river. I didn't know who he was at first, Quite .a youth! He had hung his clothes on Anse's No Trespassing sign." "He would, from what I've seen of him. Well, I'll give him the backing he asks for, but there's to be no mention of you, Gillian." She laid her hand on the back of his that gripped the wheel. "You're so gentle with me, Jon. I'm not really the shrinking little violet I seemed to be back there where you parked, I really can take it if I have to. It's just that I get tired scxeeetimes and life seems a little too much for me." "Because you're facing it alone, Gillian. You're taking too much on those brave slim shoulders or yours, That must end. I'm taking your burdens. I want to look atteri you, protect you and keep from you anything and everything that might bring the slightest shadow on that lovely face. I want to build a wall arpund you --d wall made of love and devotion. And let any- thing try to scale that wall!" "It sounds heavenly, Jon." She looked at him. !Square, stubborn chin, strong mouth, blunt nose. A fighter's face. Strength in his wide shoulders, in the great hands that held the wheel, Life with him would be good—a sheltered, easy, colorful life. He had a great house in Westmount, the grand place at Lac St. Cloud, where they were going. She closed her heart to the voice of Anselm saying, "Do you love him?" Love was a cheat and a delusion. She would have no more of love that made one move in a world of dreams, a realm that had no reality beyond the lover and the loved, Jon Hillyer loved her. Jou didn't care what anyone thought of her, and Jon was a man. Perhaps, she mused cynically, he will refuse to take any help from Jon when he finds out that I am to be Jon's wife. But I wonder! What would • he think if he knew Jon had ask- ed me whether or not he should put his money into this venture? Oh, I suppose he'd say it was only a gesture on my part—my telling Jon to back the publication of Jef- fry Clay's work. Only a gesture of perhaps something of atone- ment. Trying to throw a sop to my soul for what I did—what I did— So Much Beauty It was dusk when Jon and Gil- lian drove through the village of St, Cloud, high hi the Laurentian Hilts. The lodge was on the shore of a lake, a mile beyond the little town that clustered around the high white steeple of the church. In a field on the outskirts of St: Cloud, men were at work building booths and erecting tents. "They're having a :fair on Mon- day. They hold one every year," Jon toed her. "Pretty good horse show, too; and excellent live stock exhibits. We'll take it in. I love fairs, don't yott, Gillian?" "Pink lemonade and popcorn, sticky fingers and dust in your ears—I should say so, I'd love it, Jon," They drove through the pine woods to the lodge. Lights shone from its windows and the music of a radio tinkled out to them as they stopped in front of the long piazza. The smell of woOd smoke, pungent as incense, drifted down from the low chimneys, a man- servant hurried down the steps to greet them and there were hails from a half-dozen people sitting on the porch, Gillian knew them atli. Everyone knew site had only to say the word and she would be ion's wife. She looked in vain for Simon IGillierew, She felt relieved that be had not yet come. She spoke !briefly to the other guests and went up to her room. The fawn -colored tweed suit she bad worn was discarded for a dress Of pale green, that revealed the slender beauty of her long -limbed body, that was a, foil for the golden halo of her hair and the deep blue • of her eyes. Jon was at her door when she opened it, his hand poised to knock. Ile stepped back, studied her with a smile adoring and pos- sessive. He shook his head slowly and there was a reverent look in his eyes, a humlble look. "So much of beauty,' he said. "I think each time I see you, she can never look any lovelier," (To Be Continued) We Must Stretch The Food b L L11. u'S Department of Agriculture Issues Buying Hints For Housewives With the cost of living up 11.9 points since the outbreak of war the Department of Agriculture has offered a helping hand to Canac " n. housewives by issuing 10 buying hints to "increase the purchasing power of the dollar." 1.
