"I thought better of him than $hats" he said to himself bitingly. "Assumed name—making love to a girl! Always thought him guilty, but he was a boy and the old man may have been provoking; was mighty provoking somtimes. Now he's a man—no excuse at all! I ought to tell Burleson; she's his niece.» He suddenly decided to go down to the great Trust Company build- ing where Burleson held sway. Fos- dick had been doing e. little busi- ness for him and Burleson had tele- phoned several times for him to come over and close it up. * * * Burleson was affable; he wanted to see him, he said aboat the Grant Barton estate. Fosdick almost laughed; he had come about Mark Grant. For fifteen years the execu- ,r Getting you down? Fight it this . ye E5 Doze's' let cold misery hang on. Drag you down.

Burleson recalling some details about it now, looked across the ta- ble at his colleague. "Isn't it near time for that boy to be out?" he asked suddenly. "He's out." Burleson was perceptibly stare tied. "Since when?" "Four or five weeks I think— maybe more." Fosdick drummed on the table with his fingers; he was considering whether. he would tell Burleson all about it or not. "He came here to get his aunt's money; you remember she left him about twenty thousand — more or less." * * * Burleson shook his head; he had shifted his- chair a little and lay back in it now, thinking. "He hasn't 'thought of claiming Barton's money yet, has he?" "He says he won't until hes Bleared," Fosdick's smile widened, "Cleared?" Burleson did not smile. "The deuce! Does he ex- pect to clear himself after fifteen years?" "He probaby knows he can't be cleared at a11," Fosdick replied af- fably "and he's talking bluff!" "But he hasn't tried to get that money," Burleson persisted. "Oh, he willl" Fosdick retorted testily; "of course he will!" There was a long pause and then Burleson said flatly: "I think he should have it." Fosdick looked at him thought- fully, something like a twinkle in kis eye, "I didn't know you liked him. You testified against him, Burleson." "That's neither here nor there," said the great man bluntly; "he was seventeen, wasn't he? What's he like now?' "' * * * Fosdick considered. "He's big, good looking; got a snap to him. You wouldn't know him. I advised him to go West."

Fosdick that he had aged lately; he was less erect, less keen, "The West is the best place for him; he can live , it down out there. Fifteen years, isn't it? By Jove!' Burleson drew a long breath, "it's a slice out of any man's life]" Burleson swung back in his chair, staring out of the window. "Look here," he said slowly, "if he needs a little help—you understand? A fresh start. I don't want my name used, but I'll give it to him." Fosdick stared. Then he laughed dryly. "Would you like to see him at your house?" he asked mali- ciously; a perverse imp had, so far, kept him silent. It was. amus- ing to imagine the great man's sur- prise. "At my house?" Burleson frowned. "Nol Wliat do you mean by that?" "You wouldn't know him if he came, that's all," Fosdick replied coolly, "especially if he changed his name." * * * Burleson nodded. "Is he consid- ering that?" "Decidedly," Fosdick laughed; "I think he's done it already." "Well, I don't -know as I'd blame him for that either!" He glanced out of the -window again absently. It was plain that his mind was pre- paring to exclude Fosdick. "When you get those shares come up and we'll talk it over.. I may buy a few more," he said, shortly, re- verting to their prevous business, Fosdick rose; he understood his dismissal. Suddenly he made up his mind not to tell Burleson about Mark yet. But he stopped at the door to send a shaft back. "You'll have to get someone else to help you out with Grant—if you want to start him—I've always be- lieved him guilty, you know." Burleson frowned slightly. "That shouldn't keep you from being fair," he said bruskly; "it was un- premeditated; he's been punished", After Fosdick went Burleson rose from his seat and stared out of the window, It was beginning to spit snow, He summoned his secretary, have a few sharp orders and left his office. * * * He began to walk steadily uptown and the dash of snow in the air in- vigorated him. The crowds were thinning a lit- tle now, as he made his way up- town, but still they hemmed him in and he felt that singular loneli- ness which assails the wayfarer in a city throng. He was an old man. and his wife and his children were long since dead: it seemed to him, sometimes, that a singular ill luck, in that respect. had pursued him. He had lost three sons. He had no heir, he had made up his mind, to leave his estate, the major part of it, to Pam. She was not a blood relation, only his wife's niece, but the girl had crept into his heart and softened it; she was the only one for whom he felt real tender- ness; the only one for whom he would have made a sacrifice. * * * Ile was progressing steadily when someone brushed against him its the crowd, laughed saucily and caught his sleeve, Tt was Pam her- self. "I've been chasing you half a block, Uncle Herbert]" she panted. Itis face softened; he was often amazed at hit own weakness for this girl; he drew her hand through bis arm. "You ought to go home, miss; it's going to snow hard!" His tone to her was always kind, different; she knew it—a sour, hot tempered esed man, tool She laughed. "I love snow] I've been out with Aunt Lynn—you know what that means!" "A socially conducted journey, Bill.?" he smiled grimly. "You're a little rebel, Pam." "Uncle Herbert, I wish you'd tell Aunt Lynn that I'm old enough to go where I please and—and Archie Landon hasn't any business to dic- tate about my friends!" "So Landon meddles, does he? I thought the boy had more sense." "He hasn't any! In the first place, ''411E brought a friend of his to the house. Then he talks to Aunt Lynn because" 1 lunched with his guest to- • day—if you please!" * *. * "I see! You've been lunching out with a man and got into trou- ble with your aunt. That's it, isn't it?" "I've got a right to lunch with anyone, haven't I?" Pam tossed her head, then she laughed, "You see, the trouble is I can't be sly— someone always sees mel Archie Landon saw me today; so did that hateful old Fosdick of yours!" Burleson looked down at the charming, flushed face critically. "Fosdick didn't talk, young lady; he's just been to my office. Old men are wiser than young ones, after all!" "I wouldn't care a pin for Lan- don," said Pam hotly, "only it's mean—he brought the man him- self." (To Be Continued) Powder Puffs Old powder puffs have a new use in this day and age.

It is nice to get first band information of those whom we have not seen for so long — and it is nice to know that our son has somewhere to go . where he is sure of a welcome. Family con- tacts mean a great deal to us all, especially at this time. Bob was able to get four days leave to visit his grandmother, and other relations. Grandma is eighty- seven and Bob writes of her — "she is so old and so wise but the air -raids have shattered her nerves badly so „that she is not able to speak distinctly," But still the two of them enjoyed each other's cotn- peny so much — after a separation of fifteen years. Sometimes I wonder if there is a special af- finity between the very old and the very young — an understanding which is not possible to those whom a lesser number of years divides. * * * Son Bob also visited a very great friend of mine who took him around to some of the historic places in that district — places which may be known to a few readers of this column. Christ church Catherdral was one of them, built in 1903. The beautiful stained glass windows are still there. They were lucky enough to get permis- sion to climb to the top of the tower and into the belfry where they saw the big clock wound up by hand and were right behind it when it struck the half-hour West- minster chimes. One hundred and forty-three steps took them to the top of the one hundred and fourteen -foot tower and from it they could look all over the town and across the channel. They also went over the old Priory which Bob described as one of the most wonderful places he ever expects to see. He was thrilled with it all. I expect you will feel as we do, that it is really marvellous so many of these fine old buildings have survived the terrific bombings to which little old England has been subjected for so 'long. Will our modern buildings last as long? JAP SCOURGER Called the hardest -hitting ad- miral in Vice -Adm], Marc Mits- cher's Third' Fleet, Rear Adml.

Following Bob's letter came one from Grandma, or rather front her daughter who lives with her, and she was so distressed because the house was very cold when Bob got there — and because the blackouts and indoor air-raid shelter have spoiled the appearance of their home. Naturally that doesn't worry us so much as hearing of the house being cold, The old lady has been staying in bed until after dinner for some time in order to con- serve fuel. Knowing that, it doesn't make tis feel any more comfort- able when we hear over the radio that England has recently experi- enced one of the coldes' and storm- iest winters in its history. Doesn't it make one feel ashamed to grumble at the inconveniences that our Canadian winter has ca lec,l its when we have little other r ee lin for complaint.
