Finally. exasperated at Jonescy‘s stubbornness in this matter, she had said: "Oh, have it your own way. Sure he has a kind heart. But dig him in the ribs sometimes and see if he doesn't wear a steel

I "And he'll just happen along a-

Nevertheless. Jtvnesey didn't have the heart to say anything like that. Whatever Tony Sorrento might suggest to Maggie, to Jonesey he was just pathetic,

When she had first come to know him a; one of her regulars at Lar- kln's. he h-ad been just widowed

.and tvas utterly bereaved.

| “Sometimes it seems as if I must go crazy," he had told her with Latin intensity. "She was so young. so full cf life. How can she be dead and me here?"

He had. Junesey knew, come from Italy as a boy ot ten, been in America, for forty years. At times his English was almost flaw- less, but sometime: when he we: under emotional streas- and he usually was- it broke down.

"She was so beautiful -look. for yourself.”

Joneeey had glanced at the pic- ture. deeply moved. It did reveal beauty and surprising youth as well. Jonesey had been puzzled by that; she knew that Mr. Sorrcnto had grown children.

"She just like that," Tony had gone on. the Ettgliah idiom break- ing with his voice. "When I some home et night she kiss me and pull my ear and say, ‘What has my big monkey been up to today? Making a lot of money for me?’ Al- ways like that. Never anybody so happy as we were. And smart - you have no idea how smart she was. And so very American. You should see our house!"

At, first he had talked of noth- lng else to Jonesey when he got a chance to, during noon hours at fir:t. often lingering for just that. Afterwards more often when he picked her up in his car and drove her to her lodging house.

“Trouble? Say, it’: no trouble at all," he told her. "I must do dome-

Canadian Nickel, sold abroad, does two things.

It helps pay for products we need which are not produced in Canada. It brings money to Canada

to pay the wages of thousands of Canadians em-

ployed in the Canadian Nickel industry.

By constantly expanding the use of Nickel at home and abroad, the CanadianNickel industry brings additional beneﬁts to Canada and Canadians.
