"In every province of Canada". said Mr. Wilson, "the improvement in conditions has reduced unem- ployment and created increased purchasing power. To the farm- ers of the west, there is an almost immeasurable difference between a price of 40c and 00c for wlicat and there is every prospect tliat by the end of the crop year, inc carryover will be materially rc- duced.

"The financial po=ltion of some of our provinces has Ruin the sub- ject of frcqucnr, discussions during recent months. Economic condi- tions in Wcsfcrn Canada. and ab- normally heavy expenditures for relief resulting therefrom, have necessitated large advances from the Dominion Government.

Churchill's offer to withdraw in favor of a government candidate acceptable to both the Conserva- tives mid the Liberal National or- guiiizaticn was turned down late today by the Lilacrals who iiiitiiii- moioiiw endorsed Malcolm Macdoii- aid two weeks ago.

Shortly afterwards Prime Min- lFlCY Baldwin sen! a telegram as- suring Macdonald of his own “whole-hearted support" and sziy- lug: “I strongly urge Unionists tConsei-vaiivesl in the interests of the National Government to sup- port you." ’ "

CHAPTER XXX!‘

Kay met his eyes steadily; and he sat up, leaning on one hand, lookins the side o! his head ,t.he firm line of down at her. Then he looked away and she could see only his cheek. his jaw. And he said slowly, with out turning back to her:

"Maybe I'm speaking out of turn. rm playing a hunch. Kay! Are you going to -—stay married to Bob for good and all?"

She did not answer at ome. and he insisted swiftly: "Don't tell me unless you want to! It's none of my business, probably . I don't mean to -—hurt you.

His hair was ruffled by the wind.

"I don't mind telling you," she said at last, gently ."I don't mind telling you this much. Bob's in Reno, getting a. divorce from me, right now."

She saw the quick light in E!- mers eyes" and he learned close above her. Kay!" he cried huskily. "I knew it. I knew there was some- thing! And Kay. you know I've a!- ‘ways . " He blurted: "Kay when it's done, marry me!"

She watched him for a long time. "I used to laugh at you, E!- mer," slit: said, smiling faintly. “Your ears got so re , whenever you talked to me. But I'm not laughing at you now."

"I wish you would," he pleaded.

"Lough at you?" she teased.

"Marry me," he insisted

She shook her head. ‘I'm still in love with Bob," she said gravely.

He stared at her. “What?" he protested. “Then why—why are you letting him . . " And he cried. with a sudden clumsy passion in his tones: “But Kay, will you always be? Couldn't: you ever let me . . . "

"It doesn't seem as if I ever could -fcel differiietly," she told him~

"I know but you might not . . . I mcan, mn-ybe, after a while." Kay sat up, smoothly. facing him. "I've done one rotton thing already. Elmer," she said honestly. "I married Bob without loving him; biit. I won't do that to you!"

He started to speak; but, then his eyes left her face, and looked past hcr. She saw his color fade: and she turned her head to see what it was that had dismayed him.

Then she was still and trembling. !'~'oi" she saw Bob. two or three rods bclow them. striding up ‘he last pitch to the summit ledge.

Elmer was on his knees, facing Kay, facing Bob who came up.the slope behind them. Kay, half-turn- ed. looked ovei" her shoulder at Bob. And Bob, breathless and tiantitig, slowed uncertainly, and came on not so swifty, and stood three paces off, smiling down at Ktiv.

"Hallo!" hc said, and wiped his brow. _

Elmer scrambled to his feet. and Kay rose. Her heart was choking her. "Hello, Bob!" she said care- fully: and then: "This is Elmer Radford. Bob "

Bob‘ shock hands with Elmer. "I know,’ he agreed. "Kay's told mo a lot about you." He wiped 11L; brow. "I'll have to apologize for following you up here. Kay, your mother told me ivhere ymi ware, 1' mlkht have waited till you mm; humc. but I've only a Mme time . " He spoke lamelv to Elmer. “Haw are you?" he naked.

Kay smiled. "He's very well, thank you, Bob." she rctorted, amused. "And so am I. You look- a little tired. I thought you were ‘m: Wfio fishing. on vaiation."

I ‘had to coiiie back for n few days.‘

Elmer said awkwardly: “Dr, D5. km._we were just talking about you.‘ He looked at Kay, and grinned. "You two will want to- hevo a visit together." he decided. and he asked Bob: "You've got, your car‘! '

"Oh Yes.“ Bob assured him. "I left it. down by yours "

"Than you can fetch Kay back to town. I'll go along." .

He started to move away; but Bob said doubtfully: “Hold on! I didn't mean to —butt in on you. I just hfiplifined to be in the neighbor- hood. wanted to say hello to Kay. But you don't need to run awav." “That's all right." Elmer insisted. His cheek was pale. "I know she's glad to see you. I'll go along."

And he went, with" no further word. He strode down the sloping ledge and across the descending pasture land to the border of the wood; he looked back and lifted his hand to them, where they stood watching him: and then he dlSap- peared among the cloaking spruces and was gone. They were alone upon" the round summit of Carve! Dome. the world far away below themith: clouds and the bright sky above their heads. A light wind blew here; but, Coos Pond in the valley lay like a mirroi" now, no current riffling its surface. To the west ,the valleys were deep with color, and the shadows reached to- ward where they stood.

Elmer disappeared; and Kay turned composedly to face Bob. “sit down?" she suggested. Bob obeyed, and she seated herself be- side him and said reflectively: “I've always liked to climb up here, with someone, or alone. and just sit and --watch the shadows move."

He nodded. "It's grand view!”

e agreed. She said nothing; and presently he looked behind ‘them toward

And Abe said, a mischievous light in her eyes averted from his: "He has Came ahead pretty fast. Invented some- thing or other that the Power Com- puny thinks is pretty important. and he's assistant superintendent at the plant here now, and slated to be in charge. Elmer's going to be a big man." Her heart was rac- ing, but her tones were calm. “I liked his looks," Bob agreed. "I used to be amused at him." She confessed. "He was a funny, embarrassed youngster He's always been crazy about me, of course; and since I came home . . . " Kay did not finish the sentence, left him to find the fitting words. Bob chuckled as though at some rich jest which only he could know. "Why, that's K1900." he told her steadily. “I'm glad for you!" There was lichen, close growing, on the ledge on which they sat. She picked small bits of it free with her finger nail, and rubbed them into little balls between thumb and finger. "I'm glad you're going to be-all right," lie said "All right?" she echoed. and looked at him withdancing eyes. “Why, I'm perfect, Bob." He nodded. "I want things to be tlic Wfty you want them," he ex- pluiiicd. He added, slowly: "It's all set, Kay! I've been in Reno for several weeks, you know. The case comes up next week; and it will go

“Naturally? site assented. "It's too bad for you, but people will forget!"

“But I had a fool notion." lie ad- ‘mllifd. his cheek ablaze, "that I'd better see you, first, and make vgurg it was what you wanted.”

‘So I came East by plane," he s,“ pliilncd. "Drove tip to see you. Now that I know everything is all fight

“How about your people? I met your mother. I couldn't, tell what she was thinking, Jeff; but I'm hop- ing she'll approve of me. Do they know all about it?"

“Mother does," she said; and she added: “You'll like mother -— and father. And Emily!"

He stirred. "Let's go icll them. It will be cold up here, soon."

So they went. with many pauses, down through. the dusky wood to where his car was waiting, and thus they came home to the big brick- ended house where the rivers meet to inakc the Wcare. Kay took Bob into tlic kitchen where her mother was; and shc said simply:

"This is my husband, mother!"

"O-h, I introduced myself, this afternoon," Bob explained, and lie kissed Mrs. Brennan on the cheek.

The older woman smiled faintly. "But I didn't know then that you were Kay's husband," she said. "Oi course, I knew your name . . ."

Kay cried swiftly: "Everything5 fllflle, mother! Settled for good and u

Mrs. Bratiuati foi" a niomcnt did not speak, and Kay saw her color return. Then she said: “Take Bob to your father. Kay. Then you can help me with supper here. . . ."

So Kay and Bob went to find Will Brennan; and when Kay came back to the kitchen, there were happy tears in hcr eyes. She found Mrs. Braniiaii busy, and smiling at her own thoughts; and Kay whispered:

“I'm happy. mother!"

Mrs, Brannon chuckled. "I see you are." she assented. "But — the water's boiling, Kay! Fetch the tea."

Kay, busy confessed: “I still can't believe it has happened to me." And she said: "Emily came home and married. and I would not come home, but we're both all right now! It doesn't seem to matter, does it. small town or big town."

“I've told you before, Kay," her mother reminded her, "that it isn't where you do'a. thing; it's what you do. Now slice the bread and we'll be ready, child!"

Bob and Kay had that night tho room Kay and _Emily had used to share, the big room toward tne river; and when they had turned out the lights and Bob went to open the windows, Kay came to stand beside him. They heard Rapid River tumbling down the last quick water close below the house.

"I used to make up words to that music, when I was a little girl," Kay said softly. "Used to sing myself to sleep with them!" She smiled in the darkness. "The two rivers meet here, you know. and make the Wears. New Hampshire people a1- wcya m; the Wears rises down back of Cap‘: Homers barn!"

“He was your grandfather, wasn't he?"

Kay said: “Yes! A sea captain, but he left. the sea."

He held her close. "We'll stay "here a few days, shall we, Jeff?" he proposed. "You're-lovely, here! Like a picture in its proper frame."

"If you like." she agreed. and added: "Whatever you like, my dear!"

He kissed her; and in’)!!! arms she laughed a little breathleaaly, and said: “You've no longer any scruplea against making love to your wife, it seems to me."

He chuckled: ut when he ans- wered nei- his vo cu vu shaken, no

Capt. Walters Laughs zit-Modern Conveniences

(C. l’. By Guardian's Special Wire) LUNENBUB/G. N. 5.. Jan. 13-

"They'11 probably be signing on

ladies to make up the crew!"

Captain Angus Walters snorted in disgust. Captain Angus has been knocking around the Atlantic for a deal of years, 13 of them as mas- ter of the racing schooner Blue- nose. But. never had he heard of shower baths on a salt banker.

That's the news that came out of Boston over the week-end. The Bay State Fishing Company is go- ing to equip three of its new" scliooners with the baths, drying rooms, recreation facilities and other gear strange to the hull of a. bank fisherman.

“Sort of interesting." Angus opined. “Yes, mighty interesting. Looks as though they'll probably be signing on ladies. That's the only thing I can see."

For the veteran skipper of the queen of the North Atlantic. there was a laugh in the idea of sou- westered and oil skinned fishermen coming below to spend most of their watch trying to get the right combination ofthot and cold in a shower. It's wet enough above deck on a banker.

"But it's some get-up," Captain Angus admitted. As a matter of fact, he confided, Bluenose herself had suffered the indignity of hav- ing a bath installed in her. But it wasn't a shower; Angus had to draw the line somewhere.

Anyhow, he said, the bathtub had been put aboard only for Bluenoses exhibition cruises. In her time on the banks, Bluenosem men took their baths ashore, where bank fishennews bathtubs belong.
