It was the affair of a few mom 1 who had caused all the trouble,
"Thea is like you, but you're pret-

"You'd better hurry up and cut
in before they catch us," prompt-

"And you, missie, ought to run.
In and get out of those wet clothes
as quick as possible," suggested
Henry, taking up his sculls.
"Just wait one minute."
LightIy the girl darted to a rose
bush, and breaking off a' beautiful

It fell at Glad u' feet.
"We shall see each ether again,

"Ob, look, Burnsie!" exclaimed

to tow the child to tee bank, and
from thence to rdplace both upon
the lawn.
Gladys, the calmly practical, sur
veyed the dripping figure.
"There' wasn't any need for you
to jump in. We were coming to
get your puppy; you know," she
remarked. "I should think you've
spoilt your shoes, but your frock
will wash."
The other child looked at Gladys.
On either side of her oval white
face, with its dark grey eyes and
Iscariot mouth, her chestnut-red,hair
fell in heavy dripping tails.
"I didn't think about you. How
funny"—she paused and . looked
agealn—"how very funny! Do you

I expect it's their father."
' 'The old man' turned- to look.
A tall man, smoking a cigar, had
emerged from one of the shrouded
French windows.
The children stopped: there was
a murmur of voices. The man, lay-
ing bis hand upon the girl's shoul-
der, turned again towards the
house.
Suddenly the. little girl wrench-„
ed herself tree from her father's
hand, and took to her heels.
Out on to the, terrace came a
tall, fair woman. •
"That girl was silly," comment-

she Vas nice. I liked her." She
pinned the rose carefullyinto her

stood in the shadow of her curtain

LOUIS HILDEBRAND
WE WILL PICK UP
EVERYBODYs
BUSINESS
by
Young Bill had an inner
longing to be a doctor. His
natural talents would have
carried him far in that pro-
fession. But instead he took
a, job , father's.. dairy
plant where he could earn
good pay immediately. Com-
pared with this job, a career
in medicine — with its long,
non-paying years of study
and struggle to get establish-
ed — seemed too tough. Now,
although he is prospering,
Bill regrets that choice.
Of course, the penalty of
choosing the easy way
against our better judgment
is seldom so tragic. But
whenever we make self -
damaging compromises or
neglect opportunities . ,
whenever we turn ourselves
into "yes-men" ... whenever
we sidestep duties, obstacles
or problems that should be
faced — the price is too high!
Only by accepting diffi-
culties as challenges do we
develop our full powers.
'
Scarcely more than a century
ago, it was impossible for the
average man to provide finan-
cial security for his depend-
ents in the event of his death.
But today, through life insur-
ance, millions have overcome
this difficulty and provided
security for their loved ones
while saving for their own
retirement,

anily.
He had thought to end the con-
nection utterly, to leave her pro-
vided for and then to put the ef-
fair out of his mind "I couldn't
have married her," he argued mis-
erably. But the boy was incapable
of the conventional and heartless
Part which he had planned to play.
The thought of Nettie haunted him.
Life no longer seemed simple: env
the contrary it appeared difficult,
cruel, unjust. He grew more and
more bitterly regretful of his treat-
ment of Nettie. Sitting in his In-
dian an bungaigw; sweating in the
breathless night, while the punkah
creakedmonotonously, he visualiz-
ed the quiet beauty of his home:
that long low white house set
amidst
Teen cool meadow ow an
d
wood. Nettie the mistress of the
River Hoose. Impossible! Net -
tie's child—ah, Nettie's child!
When Ivor's' thoughts brought
him' to this point he 'invariably
made some violent eieort to dist
tra t' them.
, But always, he said
to himself"; 'I will send her some
more money."
Of money there never seemed
enough, of debts aII too many, but
Ivor, driven by the desire to atone,
denied himself many a little lux-
ury and his secret hoard grew. He
wrote to the St. John's Wood house
asking for Nettle's address. His let-
ter was returned through the Dead
Letter Office. He wrote to Gil-
man and Hanover's, to receive in
due course the reply that Miss Net-
tie Burt had long since left their
employ and that they had no re-
cord of her address.
And then cause the news of John
Selincourt's death. Ivor, according
to family tradition, sent in his
papers, returned to the home of
his fathers and entered into his
kingdom.
It was a sad home -coming, for
the son had loved his father. Aunt
Anthea too had loved her brother
dearly. Coming out to meet her
boy on to the white steps under
the pillared portico, his aunt broke
down • and wept as Ivor's aims.
Anthea, in her middle -age, was
a fragile little grey-haired person,
who affected the fashions of an age
fast passing and ' wore becoming
daps of lace and ribbon, a Mack
silk apron, trimmed with fringe,
and carried a basket containing
keys, a pocket handkerchief, a
pencil, a minute ivory ,paperathdfe,
and, .a collection of small' square
pieces of paper, obtained by open-
ing
pening out and cutting away the back'I
portiobs of used envelopes.
In one blue eye she supported, a
single eyeglass, which gave. an odd'
ly rakish look to the delicate age-
ing face.
Aunt Anthea had become set in
her little ways, and so too had
Minty the second, scarcely less ob-
stinate and ill-tempered than her
late Mamma.
The night of •Ivor's homecoming
he sat in the white panelled dining
room with its dignified Adam furn-
iture,
urniture, the polished table gleaming
with cut -glass and old silver,
smoking his, cigar and drinking his
glass of port, while Aunt Anthea,
her chair drawn near the firer,
Minty purring upon her knee,
spoke of his father's illness, of his
wishes, his death. Ivor came and
knelt by his little aunt and put
out his hand to stroke the old cat,
who swore, struck at him and
jumped down on to the rug.
Dominic, the Gordon setter, em-
erged from under the table,
stretched himself before the fire
and gave a shivering little whine.
He had at once adopted Ivor In
place of hie lost master, but he too
did not forget.
Ivor, with his arm round hie
aunt, his face against hers, Felt
the tears on her soft cheek, and
etaring into the fire was obsessed
by a sense of the sadness of life.
His father had lived and now was
dead. He lived and then would
die:
Suddenly there rushed upon him
an understanding of; -the brevity of
the days of than. Up, till new lite.
had seemed long, almost intermin-
able, but all at once he s'eeeled to
hear the feverish whirring of
wheels, and knew that one day for
him, as for his father, the revolu-
tions would slacken, would cease.
And what then?
His hand clencbed and unclench-
ed nervously, and then Jerked out
with fingers wide apart.
As time passed, Ivor found that
his days were scarcely long enough
to contain all the duties and Plea,-
sures
leasures which fell to his lot. There
were business affairs to discuss
with the family lawyers, and the
care of the estate took up much of
bis time. Selincourts had always
been good landlords, squires and.
sportsmen, pillars of State and
Church; and, what Selincourts had
been, that Selincourt would be.
Ivor won golden opinions from
the County and was popular with
all classes.
Within the long white house
Aunt Anthea held sway; while
Prosper, the butler, old John, the
coachman, Mrs. Joust, the cook-
housekeeper, and Mary, the head
housemaid, ruied in their various
domains. ,
Every Sunday morning Ivor
drove to church with his aunt, and
walked home after exchanging
greetings with his, neighbors. 1pv-
,ery Sunday did the bachelor curate
lunch at the River House. Beery
evening did Aunt Anthea doze, to
be roused by the entry of the foot-
man, bearing upon a. Miter :tray' a
oup of the out destined to, florin

Then, when the black ribbons
,on Aunt Anthea's cap were chang-

for lunch or tea; relatives and old

Plymouth's stylish "bustle back" allows a spacious luggage com-
partment. Its fender openings permit easy servicing of tires and
the quick application of chains, when necessary. Plymouth's.
functional styling retains fenders, so that with Plymouth a minor
scrape does not mean a major repair.
Compare the new Plymouth for comfort! Plymouth's body is more
dust -proof and is rust -proofed for a longer, brighter life. Its longer,
1181/2" wheelbase allows passengers to be seated even farther ahead
of the rear axle, for greater comfort. Note Plymouth's roomy
