CHAPTER 1
It was dark for three o'clock.
The sky was sad and gray and
there was slush underfoot. Even
Park Avenue had no glamour on
such a day. Yet the girl in the
brown tweed coat :stepped along
briskly, her chin high, breasting
the wind like a proud ship. The
sleety rain had brought clear color
to her cheeks, and moisture clung
to her lashes and to the shining
copper hair that escaped from be-
neath her tiny suede cap. She had
long, slim legs, which, like her
trim brogues, seemed made for
walking. And she looked as though
she were enjoying herself thor-
oughly in spite of the gloomy
weather.
She crossed ,the street at the
corner, gaining the opposite curb
just as a taxi swerved to a halt
almost at her heels. Icy slush
showered her ankles, the bottom
of her coat. She turned to glare at
the unrepentant driver, a glint of
temper in her blue eyes. "I sup-
pose you couldn't watch where
you're going!"
The driver shrugged cheerfully.
"You oughta wear your goolosh-
es on a day like this,"
The cab door opened and a
passenger got out. A tall, male
passenger whose gray glance, in
one sweeping appraisal, took in
the girl's anger, her youthful
loveliness, and the sadly bespat-
tered state of her sheer tan stock-
ings. He said, his tone regretful,
"I'm sorry. These fellows seems to
think they own the streets."
He handed the driver a bill and
stood there, looking down at the
girl while he waited for change.
Her stormy blue eyes met his
,briefly, and she smiled. A warm,
wide smile, with ruefulness be-
lhind it, absolving him from blame.
"I'm glad someone's sorry. But
it wasn't your fault." Her voice

was deeper than girls' voices usu
ally are, a throaty, distinctive voice
that wasn't going to be easy to
forget. Turning, she, crossed the
sidewalk and - disappeared through
the imposing portal of- a towering
apartment building.
LI'SBETH MEETS JON
UPON CALL TO CASSY
"Here y'are." It was the cab
driver's words, the cool touch of
coins in his palm, that jerked the
young man out of his momentary
abstraction. Purposefully he strode
across the walk and through the
same doorway which had • swal-
lowed the girl.
She was standing near the ele-
vators, her back toward him. Not
until she had preceded him into
the little care and turned did her
eyes widen in surprised recogni-
tion. But she glanced away at once
and neither of them spoke.
In response to the operator's
languid, "Floors, please," she
murmured, "Seventeen." Still the
young man said nothing. But
when he, too, proceded to aught
at the seventeenth floor, the girl
decided that the time' had come
when he must be definitely squel-
ched.
She swung aroundto face him
indignantly as the elevator door
slid shut. But before she could
speak he grinned, and there was a
curiously disarming quality about
that grin. Nor was his face, dark
and lean and indelibly stamped
with a look of hard young,
strength, the face of a casual an-
noyer of women.
He said, "I know how this looks,
but I'm not following you."
Rather to her own surprise, she
believed him. She found herself
feeling a little silly. She would
have marched firmly past him
down the hall to Cassy's door, had,
not his next words stopped her
in her tracks:
"I happen to be calling' on Miss
Cassandra Devine, who has an
apartment on this particular floor
of this particular building."
The girl stared up at him blank-
ly. "But -what a queer coinci-
dence! I'm calling on Cassy, too."
"Isn't this my cue to say, 'It's
a small world,' or words to that
effect?"
_They laughed together, and the
young man said, "I'm Jon Ever-
ton." .
"I'm Lisbeth Carmichael." Her
small nose crinkled enchantingly
with her laughter. "Although we
might wait a minute, I suppose,
and let Casey introduce us more
formally."
They moved down the carpeted
hall together and Lisbeth pressed
a bell. Almost immediately Cassy's
ancient maid admitted them. Her
morose countenance lightened in
a smile at sight of Lisbeth. Jon
she ignored after one cursory

glance that held no slightest
gleam of recognition.
She said, "Mies Devine isn't feel-
ing very well. I'll tell her you're
here, Miss Carmichael."
She went away, and a moment
later Cassy Devine's somewhat
booming voice assaulted their ear-
drums:
ardrums: "Come in, come in, Lis -
beth. And bring your young man.
You would come flaunting your
conquests when I've got a cold
in my head and a grudge against
humanity! But maybe you're what
I need."
Following this overwhelming
welcome to its source, they dis-
covered Cassy, a large, Junoesque
person, dwarfing to insignificance
the chaise lounge on which she
reclined Cassandra Devine was
one of the foremost fashion au-
thorities in New York, yet in her
moments of leisure she was a
traitor to her trade On this par-
ticular occasion she was garbed
in a very old velvet housecoat,
anchored firmly at her throat with
a safety pin. Her gray hair was
unkempt, her nose innocent of
powder and regrettably pink
Her voice brightened affection-
ately at sight of Lisbeth. She ex-
claimed, "Child, it was sweet of
you to drop in! But don't come
any nearer, because I'm 'germy.
Who's your young man?"
Lisbeth turned to stare with un-
disguised indignation at the crea-
ture who had' deceived her so
flagrantly. She said, "But -but,
Cassy, I thought -that is, he told
me -
"Wait a minute." In spite of
himself, Jon Everton felt color
rising beneath his skin. "'I didn't
say --
You most certainly did! You
said you knew Cassy and you were
coming to call on her and it was
a small world! You know you did!
And I belie'Ved you!"
"I didn't say I knew her! ,I
said I was coming to call on her,
and I was -I am-" He broke off,
turning to face the amused woman
on the chaise lounge. "Please,
Miss Devine, • I'm not trying to
put anything over. I'm Jon Ever-
ton, of Chicago. Celia Everton's
son."
JON TURNS OUT TO BE
SON OF GASSY'S FRIEND
"Celia Everton!" There was no
mistaking the delighted recogni-
tion in Cassy's tone. "My dear
boy, this is the most wonderful
thing that's happened to me in
years!" She rose to cross the
pleasant, cluttered room toward
him, scattering ashes as she came.
She took his two hands in hers
and stood there, Iooking up at
him fondly, her eyes suspiciously
bright. "If it weren't for this cold,
I'd kiss you! iCelia's boy Why,
Lisbeth," she addressed her other,
and slightly embarrassed .guest
across a plump shoulder, "Jon's
mother was the dearest friend I
ever had. And I haven't seen him
since he was an adorable baby
with dimples and yellow curls-"
"Hey, Miss Devine! Have a
heart," Jon begged,
And Lisbeth said, laughing, "No
wonder you didn't recognize him."
And then she said, her direct blue
gaze on Jon: ."I guess apologies
are in order. Please forgive me
for imagining -for accusing you-"
"It doesn't matter," Jon helped
her out, grinning and trying to
decide, not very successfully, why
merely looking at her should en-
gender such a warm glow of
Pleasure in the region of his heart.
"Ring for tea, Lisbeth," Cassy
commanded, relinquishing ' Jon's
hands at last and waving him to
a seat. "And sit down, yourself."
So Lisbeth rang for tea, and
then sat quietly on a low couch
beside Jon while Cassy asked ques-
tions and he supplied the answers.
It seemed that he was in New
York with his father on a trip
that' combined business and plea-
sure. In another week they were
sailing for Bermuda. His father
was anxious to see Cassy, too, but
for the next few days he was all
tied up with conferences.
Something came, into Jon's face
when he spoke, even thus casual-
ly, of his father. Something that
hadn't been there before, a sort
of glow, restrained, but apparent.
It was very apparent.
Lisbeth thought, "He must be
awfully fond of this father. He
admires and respects him. Per-
haps he feels about hi:tn-a little -
as I feel about Mike."
Dear Mike, who had been dead
so many years now, his joyous

hair, sun, in his eyes, and behind'
him a partial view of a plane's
wing, mute symbol of Ms short
I life and its spectacular finish . , .
When Lisbeth's thoughts came:
back from the dim past, Jon and
Cassy were speaking of Jon's
mother, Celia, who had been
Cassy's girlhood friend and who
had died three years ago after a
lingering illness. She sounded like
a lovely person, gentle and gra-
cious and brave.
With tea the conversation light-
ened, became more general. Out-
side, the early February dusk
pressed down, but within was
warmth and mellow lamplight and
friendly talk and laughter. Lis -
beth had put aside her little cap
and her hair caught fire in the
diffused glow of light. Jon Ever-
ton couldn't keep his eyes from it,
could scarcely keep his attention
riveted on what Cassy was say-
ing, lest he miss some word of Lis-
beth's, some cadence of her husky -
timbered voice.
But when Casey exclaimed, prod-
ded by a sudden memory, "Lisbeth,
have you heard about Bob Ferris?"
Jon stared at his mother's friend,
:his' dark brows knit, not because
he feltany personal interest in
what had happened to the discred-
ited broker, whose misappropria-
tion of funds had been front-page
news for some time, but because
apprehension, quick and stark, had
leaped into Lisbeth's eyes at the
mere mention of this name.

Early in 1950, due to strong do-
ziestic demand, hog pricee advanc-
ed well above the export value and
have remained so throughout the
summer. During the past few
weeks these prices have declined
from $32.00 per hundred pounds to
$29.00 at Winnipeg and from $33.50
to $30.00 at Toronto.
Despite normal heavier fall de

prevent hog prices from droppiut

The Silent Killer
Carbon monoxide is a deadly and
silent killer. It is found in lethal
quantities where internal combus-
tion engines are operated in en-
closed spaces, where furnaces and
stove flues and chimneys are faul-
ty and in various industrial pro-
cesses. Don't take any chance
with carbon monoxide. It gives
absolutely no warning.
Studying the Symptoms
A cold which begins with chilli-
ness followed by fever and aching
of the joint, is not just a com-
mon cold. It may be influenza or,

Your child's training at home is
a potent factor ig his development

may be impaired or distorted.

Protect your eyes against un-

always bright enough and proper-

strong enough to give adequate
seeing without casting stark sha-
dows or creating a glare. Reading
too much fine print is another way
to cause serious damage to the
eyes.
