With something in her heart that was more than a prayer, she went iep to Simon's room. "There's nothing—nothing of what I feared," she assured her. self eagerly as the box swiftly emptied. I plight have known be would not --Oh!" It was the last thing in the box. A large manila envelope, sealed :and labeled in bold writing—"Jour- nal of my Loves," and dated a few weeks before the day of his death. Gillian stared at it, put out her !land, drew that hand back. "I can't," she whispered. "1 can't—and yet I mat." She pick- ed up the envelope and tore it open. She carried it to Sim -en's desk, drew out the manuscript and laid it on the blotting pact. Without stopping, she read on and on. Slowly in that room she began to vision the swift destruction of something that had been noble and good, something godlike and splendid. Almost she could see Sinton Iilligrew's face, see the pain, the disillusionment, the hor- ror, and she knew that he would never completely recover front these things.. Something would go out of life forever, after he read these pages. "He shan't read them," she said softly, tonelessly, evenly. "He shall never see them. I am the only one now who knows they ever existed. Simon will never know!" She moved quickly now, in a panic. Site could .not bear to look for a moment longer at that sad and damning record that Jeffry Clay had left. She had to put it out of sight, hide it, destroy It and forever after pretend that it had never been. But she was afraid. Perhaps the book would be a tremendous suo cess, perhaps it would be a sen- sation—in fact, she was pretty sure it would be. She hurriedly put out the lights and left the building. The Third Time She was sitting with the half - empty tea cup when Anse came in with a load of books. "Here," he said, "is something, Web z , n dei; 1x liiols, -tereu"iinto deaths, "'c�lIra"'t" epi' yiln so late?" She moved her shoulders as if shaking off s o re e oppressive weight, then stood up and .walked to the window and gazed out on _the lights of the city. She said, "I'an sorry to bother you, Anse. Don't think I'm unhappy.. I'm not, Certainly not on my own account. This is just—something. It will pass. When Simon comes back we are going to be married. I am going to call Deb tomorrow and tell her to come and help me buy my trousseau. This time I'm going to buy it." She turned from the window. "They say the third time does it— eh, Anse?" She laughed softly. "I had three lovers---Jaff, Jon and Simon. Sounds like a riddle, doesn't it? Jaff Is dead, Jon is done with—there's only Simon. It . is 'a riddle. Anse—it's a peach of a riddle." She said good night then and kissed bine and went to bed. Until To -Morrow At the Printery there was a tele- gram from Simon. The success of his negotiations with the book club officials had more than come um to expectations. He would be back in Montreal at five that afternoon. Would she meet him at the airport? And there was love for her. Gillian could find little happin- ess in the day. She had so often to pass that locked cupboard where, deep hidden beneath the reams of . musty paper, there lay the story that .Jaffry Clay had left. In the joy of seeing Simon, tali and smiling, his eyes searching the crowd for her, she forgot her troubles. He held her close to him, and laughing, crying, she clung to pini and said, "Oh, Simon, it's been so lon:g!" "Darling! 1 was hoping you'd say 'that. It was an age for me too. And you did miss me?" Simon had no chance to con - time until they were seated in the taxi. '•1 thought there'd be a wire from you, Gillian. Did you go through Jaffry's manuscripts?" .Yes ---yes, Sinton, I—I'm afraid there is nothing very wonderftfl there. 1 told you not to build so much an the hope that there BOOKS BY MAIL Postage prepaid on all orders.

This had been a blow to him, "I—I can't understand it," he said at last. "1 had hoped so much—" "I know, Simon. I'nl sorry. But —but there are other things. There will be other books, great- er ones.

Rebalancing Diet The ]3riti4h lfinistry of Food en- visions the 'united States under the lend-lease program as a gigantic milk can or maybe even an egg basket, rather than the "bread- basket” for democracies thee some Americans aro reported talking about There never has been a shortage of bread in Britain. What Britain needs most and hones to get are milk an da variety of protein foods. That is the explanation, from the Ministry's viewpoint, of a seeming discrepancy between Prime Minis- ter Churchill's cheerful announce- ment that Britain's food reserves are higher than at the outbreak of war and warnings from United States ofiielals that Americans must curtail their consumption of solve foods in order to help feed the P.ritish nation, "We need evaporated milk first and above all" an authorized Min- istry source explained. "After that we need other foods rich in pro- teins—•+bacon cheese, butter, other nlitic products, beans and eggs. Rebalancing Diet "It isn't a matter of saving our people from starvation but of re- balancing their diet. particularly among children and workers. "It's a specialized need. We are getting all the grain we need from the big Empire Dominions and we have enough of many other staples. The foods we need so badly from the United States are only a small proportion of our total require- ments, but they must fill a critical deficiency." An acute shortage of refrigera- tor shipping space makes it im- possible for Britain to obtain all the fresh meats she could use from the Americas or anywhere alse, so the Food Ministry hopes the United States will be able to supply the missing proteins in the form of dairy products. :The Food Ministry looks long- ngly but without hope at the great citrus fruit crops across the ocean. Like fresh meats, they, cannot stand the voyage to Britain with- out refrigeration, so fresh oranges, lemons and grapefruit are likely to remain just a memory to most Britons until the war ends.

Does Not Lindbergh Remember Kindness? I wonder if Canadians who lis- ten in on C. B. C. heard Merrow some weeks ago on .a' Sunday broadcast? He did the most do- feating thing for Lindbergh that I have ever heard. I quote: "A last word. This evening a friend and •myself were walking through a quiet village in ICent. We were passing, a charming house set in soft gardens. The gate was open. It was twilight and dim lights shone from windows. My friend suggested we walk up to the house. Then he suggested that we look through a window. We did. A long room, diin-Iit, two long rows of small cots in which chil- dren slept with their small arms raised around their pillows. A nurse in white cap sat under a quiet light reading a book. It was the emblem of peace in war— torn England." There was a stop in Mr. Merrow's broadcast. Then he said: "I thought that ..Charles Lindbergh would like to know that it was the house he •sought refuge in — when England gave him sanctuary. Good -night." EVA RUPERTA .BRYAN.
