One day he feels an urge to visit the contryside around his old home and motors up there one Spring day. He rescues Daphne Eden from a wenacing tramp, falls in love with her and proposes. She accepts and introduces him to her father who greets him with the words, "Get out of here, you cur. You rulned my home .. . stole my wife . . , broke my life . . . curse you!" "Curse you ... curse you... curse you--" cried the other Back in the outer room, Michael Borde wiped his brow looked around, and wondered vaguely what there was familiar about this man's face. He sat down in the nearest chair, and wiped his brow again, as fleet- ing remembrance peeped at him mock- ingly, "(nsh!" Le mutered -- 'so that's who Daphne's father is. My hat-- that's . . that's torn it." + But he set his lips firmly. "T don't care," he said. "I'm going to have her. He can't hinder me now." Daphne came out sfewly, but it was no longer the Davane he knew. Here was a hard.cved woman who looked towards him with cold avers- ion, and in spite of his cocksureness, Michael Borde found himself sudden: ly afraid as he met the scorn in her eyes. CHAPTER 11 "PLEASE GO!" Michae! Borde had faced many strange situations and had been up against things countless times in his life-time of hard work. Never before had he felt so hopeless. That look in Daphne's eyes struck him dumb and helpless. © "Please go," she said in a quiet, ex- pressionless voice. Her veice woke stupor. "Daphne," he "his can't . . .. But he stopped short, frozen into cilence by her eyes "Please go," she repeated. "I can't," he cried, and it seemed as though the words were forced from him. "Don't you see, Daphne, I can't po till I've explained . ..."" "There is nothing to explain," she said, then, with doliberition, walked to the door and set it open. "Oh. all right," he said. "I won't make a scene, but I warn you, Da- phne, this isn't the end. This has got to be thrashed out." Her lips were tightly compressed, her face, always pale, seemed now to have becon:e dra'ned »f every sem- blance of colour, out it was the ex- pression in her eyes that hurt Mic- hael Borde. Not scorn only, so much as cold hatred looked at him. He was stunned "and bewildered. "All right," he repeated doggedly. "I'll go. But I shall come back. I tell you that." He waited for a second, walked off through the open door, heard her close this quietly behind him, and that sound hurt him more than a loud slam or angry words. He was ac customed to men and women who bul- lied and coerced to get what they wanted, who stormed and ranted or flung abuse when they found they couldn't get it; this quiet dignity and frozen scorn was something he -had never met before. Walking to his car, he started it mechanically, drove off, but felt as in a dream.

His ever aiert hrain was searching the annals of the past,' trying to locate happenings. To do him justice, he was puzzled. He would have own- ed frankly he had been no saint. there were incidents in the past he would have preferred to have forgotten, but there was nothing .. .of that he felt quite sure, to justify that look of cold loathing in Daphne's eyes, ' "After all, there's two sides to every story," he said "I'm blessed if I know what he was driving at. Gosh!" he set down his glass, *1 didn't want the woman. Chucked her- self at my head. Besides--" his eyes were scornful, "women . . .. as wo- men haven't interested me." Nevertheless, he was agitated and Michael Borde knew it. He lighted a cigarette, flinging it away a minute later and walked up and down the room, "I'll go back. Daphne will have to listen." he cried. Then he stopped short. It was no use trying to talk to Daphne in this mood, An angry woman 18 never log- cal, neither will she listen to com- monsense. Better by far to wait till the next morning. Here his face softened. To think that after his wonderful afternoon, the most mar- vellous experience of his life, this should happen, He lighted anotler cigarette. Sit- ting down, he stared at the wall op- posite, 4 "Of course she'll nelieve me," said. "A "girl like Daphne." Nevertheless, Michael Borde was worried and showed it. Out of those early years a-numbe.s of little ghosts leapt gibbering at him. He had never had time to think of these days since he had become so busy, had never needed to remember. Nor had he ex- pected that any reminder would come from outside. ) All at once he squared his should- ers. "I'll put it right said. Bigger things had entered his life, again and again he had met the obstacles that appeared insurmount- able, but each time had overcome them. This was simply one more. True, it needed more tact, more finesse . . . . his jaw hardened, it might require & good deal of pati- ence t,o, bpt Michaz] Borde was the type who enjoys a fight, he valued everything that he had to struggle for, and he believed too, in bull-dog pertinacily, holding on and wearing out the other person's patience. All the same, remembering Daphne, he sighed. "I wouldn't have had this happen . «.. for a million pounds. I'd rather have Daphne than... ." There he stopped short. "TI won't give her up," he said quietly, a look of sincerity in his eyes mingling with suffering, and when Michael! Borde looked like that the very deepest of his feelings were touched. "I'm not going to be maudlin," he said to himself, "And I'm not going to be put off my stroke. I'll get that business of the house finished, leave Daphne alone for a day or so, then go back to her and get the damned thing thrashed out." For all that, a gnawing ache of dis satisfaction remained with him dur- ing the evening. Passion denied turns on its own strength, but it comes back very pathetic, and several times that night, Michael Borde started-to his feet. "I can't go on like this, I must ex- plain," ran his thoughts, The hours dragged slowly on, In the bar he heard laughter, clink of glasses, once a song was chanted in which the others joined as chorus, he going out to them, frowned, then smiled. "Hanged if I do," he thought, vis- ioning again Daphne's face, those cold eyes. It was too late now, but he wished he had gone to Mrs, Gregory and told her the whole story. She was a man's woman, She would understand. "He could see her quizzicel dark eyes as he explained what had happened. No, he must wait till to-morrow now.

"--The writer who makes two words grow here only one grew before does not always . deserve praise;. more often than not he is helping to clutter up the language with unnecessary words. A report to the psychiatric consulting service of the Women's Division of the Emergency Work Bureau supplies an example. A de- scription of the work with the staff begins with, "Referrals came from de- partments--." The sensitive reader swallows hard and comes. to the next sentence, which begins, "Certain as- pects of typical referrals. , , ." The eye roams down the page and finds in the same paragraph, "The first referrals were . . ." Now it may be that persons who treat the language so brutally are correspondingly tend- er with the human beings who come before them. It is to be hoped so; there ought to be somg compensation for so barbarous a word as "re- ferrals."--New York 'Sun.

Yeah, but who drove the Blackbird Pic Chicago Daily News The Uniied States is threatened with a foreign bird pest to which the imported house sparrow, the so-called English sparrow, is as nothing. European starlings, brought from England in small lots to Massachu- setts and New York in 1876, 1890 and 1900, now number millions, They are dense in the east. They have in- vaded the Chicago region. They have spread to Canada. They have crossed the Mississippi and are reported from Towa and Minnesota, If allowed to go on unchecked, they will soon cover the country. ' These bobtailed blackbirds introduced by well-meaning, but misguided, persons on the theory that they would help destroy such harmful insects as the clover weevil, the grasshopper and the gypsy moth. They may do a little good in that way. But the harm they do in other ways is far greater, In the first place, they are driving out, wherever they go, our beloved native American birds, in particular the purple martin, the red-headed woodpecker, the cardinal and the mourning dove. In the second place, they: destroy large quantities of fruit and vegetables. In the third place, they are persistent weed-seed distri- butors. In the fourth place, they carry deadly chicken diseases. In the fifth place, nesting gregariously in vast flocks, they drop filth and destroy whole groves of fine trees. In the sixth place, they are noisy and altogether unlovely. In short there is nothing te be said in favor of their presence on this continent. Jack Miner, Canada's well-known bird lover, has declared war on them. In one campaign he killed 17,000. But to his dismay, as he says, "a million came to their funeral," 'In another campaign 200,000 were killed. And still they come. Meanwhile, however, it has been discovered that starlings are edible. Four-and-twenty of them, dressed, weigh about three pounds and are said to make a fine hlackbird pie. If this is true, the more blackbird pies our people eat the better seem the chances of restoring equilibrium to | our native bird life and of freeing the country from a menace. were PRINCE OF WALES .
