"A good deal," answered Berth! with reserve.

"Well," replied Penny reluctantly. "rd gay he's seen her every day since she’s been here. Scarlet-lbw‘! twice a. day."

"Hitler's great auntl"

"What say?” asked Bertha.

"1 551d plague the luck!’ Elaine retorted. She had visions of an un- fulflllgd vow, and herself the lauzh- ing mock of the Terriblfi Tell- I“ 5 moment, however, her natural feel- ing of optimistic superiority assert- ed itself. She'd dispose cf this slrl and expose her. She'd laugh at John McNeill for being taken in by her- But not too much. of course. Men hated having made fools of them- selves.

O O I’

She thought, "He must be senti- mental over her if he sees her that often. But nothings incurable. Half his thrill comes from believinfl he!‘ to be me. She can't be as 8004-1001!- ing as I am, and she can't know B8 much about handling men. I think I can take him over!" Her chin was up. There was in her blood the same love of conquest that had made Silas Hunter, her grandfather. build railroach and hold them.

"Take me up to her, Penny!" she commanded.

Bertha was thinking as rapidly 9-5 her weary, never-too-good brain would function. She said soothlnzly. “Come into the dining room first. lvliss Elaine, and have a cup of cof- fee, A body's not. hardly fit to argue till they've had their coffee. I'll run a pan of rolls in the oven for youl and open a jar of preserves. You used to like my damson marmalade for breakfast."

"Did I?" asked Elaine, still en- grossed with her purpose but lured by the thought; of breakfast. "Oh, well, have it your way, Penny."

She went into the dining room and sat down at the big walnut table. While Bertha prepared breakfast Elaine smoked a cigaret and drum- med her fingers on the table. The roorn held her amused attention. It: furnishings were so stiffly Victor- ian, so blatantly ugly that they in- trigued bar. And yet the propor- tions of the great high-ceilirrged old room were excellent.

"Wouldn't it be screamingly funny," Elaine thought, "if John McNeill and I should fall in love. really seriously, and decide to live here and do the old house over! I'd bring a decorator out from - New York and do the thing right. Modi- fled Victorian. Leave the little mar- ble mantles. But I couldn't bear to stay here more than a. couple of months out of a. year . . . I won- der I John would be hard to handle "

Again there came back to he;- a surge of memories ccnceming the good-looking boy next door whom she used to worship. He'd been in- different and unattainable in thNB days. It would be heavenly to make a. slave of him now and punish him for that 16-year-old indifference. Suddenly it seemed to her to be the only thing worth doing.

Bertha came in with the tray then, sewing the meal with paci- fying words and gestures, as one would step around a handsome cat that one wished to rnollify. Then,

looking as rested and as undisturb-

tha Gibbs closed the door of the room and went dawn to the kitchen

again.

CHAPTER. XXVI 4 Upstairs, in the room which had been hers for eight days, Ruth

She was debating a question of ethics with herself. Could she con-

"m, I can't," ion. ‘They really belong _ women of St. Stephen's Church who held the rummage sale. To take them would be like from the church itself."

Then common sense overrode eth-

lesl ion. “I need them to keep me warm

and decent. To save myself from pneumonia and help me to let a job. If 5t. Stephen's Guild had them to sell they'd turn around and use the money to help some ‘needy and worthy girl’ exactly like me. So why all the fuss? . . . Yes, I'll take a few of them. Not the evening clothes, of course. Not the navy blue satin, though I'd give my head for that one. Just the knit dresses and

the suit and s couple of felt hats. I'lltakeanextrapa.lrofshoes,too, besides the oxfords on my feet.

Those are the things I need."

The thin sunshine of the early morning had disappeared and the day promised to be damp and ex- ceedingly raw. ‘Thankful for the warmth of the fur-trimmed Illort suit, Ruth put it on. She pulled a. felt hat jauntily over her left eye.

“Now I think I'll carry a couple

girl beating a ride." Once, when riding with John McNeil], abs had seen girls asking for rides to and from the little college which lay 20 miles away. No one had seemed to think less of them for their boyish independence. Very nice-looking people picked them up. .

As she had no suitcase, Ruth used a heavy cardboard suit box from Berthab storerocm. It exactly held the extra clothes. She tied it with a stout string. And then there was nothing left to do but gather up her box, her purse, and the two books which she had selected as ap- propriate.

“They'll be Duncan Hunter's gift to me." she thought, “for saving his life!" She knew that he was still BIBBPiHB- “My strangest adventure of all," she decided, thinking or last night.

But ‘there was yet another ad- venture in store for Ruth Woodscn before she should pass through the blue door into the world again, As she descended the 1m step o; m, Btfllrwly and stood cautiously listen. in! to Penny's heavy footfall in the kitchen, a girl came through the dining room door and confronted her. The stranger was as grmegul Bflltlserandworoabrowntweed suit. aloose fur at her neck and a small brown hat. She has gold- brown hair and dark eyes. He; (m- tures were breath-‘talriflgly perfect.

Ruth noticed all mfg, she u” noticed that the girl had been eat- lng her breakfast. She carried l. toasted roll in her hand. It must be Elaine Chalmers, of course. Ruth said, "Good morningl"

Elaine said, "Oh. Leaving us so soon?" '

Ruth thought, in panic "Why did this have to happen 'to ma!" She looked at Elaine Chalmers Dleadirlzly. She thought, “If - only shegll let me go and not badger me"

It was too much to ask, of course. Fate never had let her oiI easily. Elaine said, “You've been using my name. I hear. Like it?"

Ruth forced a smile. "It's g prgfly "m" lmd W5 hellled me out a lot. Thank You for the use of it."

"You're not welcome," Elaine re- plied coldly. She mu the I011 down on the hall table and daintily wip- Ped he!‘ flnaen on a brown and white sport handkerchief.

"No wonder!" Ruth echoed. Pbr a moment she was carried away by the drama of the thing. She wished’ she might have seen old Berthas face when it happened.

Elaine said, "It seem; foolish o; you to leave when our friend John McNeill is in Washington." she watched Ruth's face closely. hoping to discover how deep the other girl's interest lay. At breakfast Penny 11M 881d. in resDOH-BB to a question from Elaine, "Mr. John and his mother went to Washington “d- den-like Monday evenin’. I don't know what for." Perhaps this girl kngwhlrlnore.

Birthday Address

The following address was dc- iivered by Master Charles Dickie- wn. the nlrw-year-cld son of Mr. George Dickieson of new Glasgow, to his Grand Uncle, Mr. Charles Dlckieson. who last evening cele- brutedhisonehun’ * andsecond birthday.

Tonight we have met on a. rare occasion to celebrate the 102nd Year of my grand uncle's birthday, now i.t may not be out of place and maybe of interest to you, to hear some ‘things that have taken place durhig m... lifetime, which have been a great benefit to the inhabi- tants of this Island.

In the year 1865 this Island, was mostly held by landlord's, each having a. different Lot. ‘This lot number 23 being owned by a men named D. S. Rennie. How they got

sentence, being imprisonment and a fine. This being considered a very unjust act their friends consulted tqrether and had a petition pre- pared and sent to all the school teaohssonthelslandtogetslgned and as the whole Island were by this time aroused nearly everyone 851W! 5181181. and a. larger number of nalmeswas never before, or sirloe been presented to the Governor for their release andvafter a. few days they were pardoned and allowed to go home.

In the first of the next year a general election was held and the Government was defeated, and a new government elected ‘which took up the land question, and a few

years after a bill was passed, en-r

abling the settlers to purchase the title of their land, and it took a. fight to influence the people to see what they. had to do to get their rights. By our honored guest and his friends the law and paying Ldfifi penalty gave the people an .

these lots is more than I can tell, m”,

but from the home Government I suppose. However they were to have them settled in a ca-tsin length of time, of course to this may had to induce settlers to leave Scotland, and some out here and settle on the land, and you may be sure that they had to make rosy promises to get them to do so. No doubt they were made to believe that money Brow on trees and d they had to do was to pick it off.

My great grandfather, a young

man of twenty years’ thought he would try his fortune with the others, and what did they find? almost a solid woods all over- the island. ‘ They were to get one himdred acres of land, but not free. but land leased at 2 shillings and over per acre to be paid yearly. This went on from 1820 until i865, all this time the settler’; had been advo- cating to buy their land, as it was impossible to pay such high rent, but had made very little progress as the Landlord's had influence with the home government, and also the Government of the Island. Then at that time the setlcrs being tired paying rent, formed the Tenant “Union. making the Pro- pritofs an offer to buy their lands. and pledged themselves to pay no rent until they came to terms. To resist the Sheriff was not an easy matter and a few of the Tenants got in a fight with him and of course this was against the law, and my uncle and two others were eon- vicled by a Jury for committing common assult and the Judge being with the Landlords, he aid the jury's minds were warped, and therefore gave them a very admiration for this unknown per- son whom she was hecklfng. She thought, "She's better-looking than I aapocted. lbs knows how to handle herself. I've got hsr in a comma‘, but she hasn't knuckled under. Maybe John's really fallen for her." '
