BYNOPSIS Michael Borde. 40, unmarried, born and bred In a Birmingham slum, Is now a wealthy motor manufacliurer wrapped up In his business. One day he feels an urge to visit the countryside around his old home and motors up there one He rescues Daphne Eden from a menacing 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 ruined my home «= stole my wife . broke my life , , curse youl" ' Michael meets Mis. Hamlll-Haray Who Insults him, but h: negotiates suc. cessfully for the old Tudor house. He tells Mrs. Gregory, Daphne's friend, of the purchase, THE TRUTH "Daphne gone away." He echoed her words blankly, but Michael Borde looked at Mrs, Greg- ory as though he would wrench some "secret from her. She shook her head. "No. I do not know where she is, Apparently she received a great shock and this, as well as her father's death, teems to have change Daphne, She has always been rather grave and a slight bit secretive about their af. fairs. I'know little ahout her but she certainly led me to believe," and here she watched him closely, "that some- - thing happened with relation to you." There Mrs. Gregory stopped short, for Michael Borde sprang to his feet angrily, "No, wait," she told him. "Daphne did not mention your name. She told me nothing. But when J spoke of you I saw her eyes and I guessed then something must have taken place to change her. She did care--! am sure that Daphne liked you before," she ad. ded hoftly. "What have you done to make her alter so?" "I love Daphne, Mrs, Gregory," he said fn a low voice. "She Is the one woman in the world that matters, 1 don't mind owning that. I've donc no. thing to be ashamed of, I've dune no- thing that Daphne need mind hearing about. She condemned me at once on the word of a man who never knew the truth, she gave me no chance to speak, never allowed me even to say a word." He gave a short, dry angry laugh, "It's the way women behave. I've Been it over and over again," he said. "They're neither logical nor scnsible when it comes to a matter of the em- ptions, However, that's not fair, per- haps for me to talk like this abou! her. Daphne heard what her father said; he accused me to her face and [ was so taken aback, sp amazed at teeing him there, and knowing he was Daphne's father, that for once in my lite, T was absolutely unable to col- lect my wits in time, I didn't do the thing of which he accused me." He stopped short and Mrs. Greg- ory saw that his eyes were bitter, "But you see, Daphne believed it," be cried. "There's the difference be- lween a man and a woman, Mrs, Gre- "gory. If someone had come to me and accused Daphne of being ---- a wan- lon, he made deliberate pause and spoke the word calmly, "do you sup- pose 1'd have believed it? No, I would bave knocked his head off for daring lo hint at it. If you love a person you lake that person on trust until he has lailed you. Isn't that so?" She bent her ead. "Better tell me the whole story, Mi- *hael," she said simply, It was the first time she had spoken bs Christian name, but it put Mich- lel Borde at his ease. "May, I smoke," he asked and he drew out a pipe as she nodded. PARES XXXII DDE DL RRR PAXXX RROD OOOBIBI "I told you 'about myself the other week," he sald. "I explained how I started on my own after the war, ran a garage and did hire of cars and re. pairs, and how eventually I adverts. ed for a partner in order to get more capital for the development of the business. 1 didn't tell you then who the man was," He paused for a minute in order to light his pipe, drew a few whiffs and leaned back looking at the woman op- posite. "He was Richard Eden," he said. . "Daphne's father?" Michael Borde nodded, "He was an excellent mé&chanic and engineer, understood cars, but he was no good as a boss. He would yarn away to a garage hand and waste time, and he had no idea of business himself, Still, he put money in, and it gave me a chance so I decided to stick it for a time, put up with his ways, and then when the business had developed choke him off. Mind you', he took out his pipe and eyed her sternly, "I wasn't going to do any- thing shabby. He'd been paid -off with jolly good interest. But there are some men in life who only serve as stepping stones for others, they'd ne- ver make good on their own and Ri- chard Eden was one of them, I don't care where he went or who he was with, he'd get nowhere," She waiter for him to continue. "He was married but at first I nev- er saw her, although they lived in the house adjoining the garage," he said. "Then Eden got a bout of malaria, he was laid up one morning, and she came to tell me he could not get up. That was the first time I saw her." For a minute there was silence, bul Lorna Gregory noticed that ha drew hard at his pipe, "She was what you would call a beautiful woman, I suppose," ha went on. "I don't (know that I thought very much about jt. Frankly, I've never been much interested in women. But there was something about her differ. ent, Folks don't mince matters to-day, they. call a spade a spade, but in those times I suppose I was a young fool, You must remember this goes back to the time just after the War," he said, and again she*saw that schoolboy look on his face. "Sex appeal, IT, or what- ever you like to call it, that woman had a darned sight more than her share, she was about ten years older than me, I daresay, and probably she had a good many fools fall for her before." - He bit the stem of his pipe, savage. ly. "I did fall for her--in a fashion," he cried. "At first I tried to choke her off, because to tell the truth, I wag so hardheaded even then I could see that a woman like that mucking up my business would mess up my life too, But she was too clever for me. She told me a yarn about being mar- ried to Richard Eden, who was older than she, of the miserable life she'd led, talked of her loneliness, and God, knows what, at any rate, as I tell you she was too much for me. It ended in my believing that my friendship would save her--yes, I was that sort of fool," he ended with a hard laugh. She waited for him to go on. "I swear there was nothing *--~ er-- what anybody might say was wrong," he continued, and his voice was slight. ly husky. "You see, I haven't thought about this for years, Beyond, being a fool, there was nothing, although, as I say, when 1 do look back and remember, | I had warned that man at least a touple of times before. He used to drive pretty regularly along No. 2 Highway, Sort of salesman, 1 should judge. be 3 What about him? Well, I'm telling you. He was a good driver all right, so far as driving goes, but he seemed to think the whole road belonged to him. You know what I mean--could not keep to his own side, and thought he had as much right to drive on the left-hand side of the road as on the : I don't suppose he thought aiiything about the danger of it, and 'm doggone sure he never paid much attention to the rule of the road. What happened? I'm telling you if you'll listen a moment, He's in hospital now---be lucky if he gets out in a.month, He'll be luckier still if he ever drives again, You know the sharp bend in the road just east of Jonesville? That's A PAGE FROM by IP.C.2 where it happened. Our friend swings over to the left-hand side of 'he road --probably figured he could save a sccond in rounding the bend. Didn't figure there might be cars coming the other way, Well, there happened to be two of them. The first managed to pull over, but the second hadn't a «hance in the world. Just sideswiped him like nobody's business. Tossed his car clean over into the ditch with him underneath it. ' I came along just after it happen- ed and helped to get him out, Sure he was unconscious--I wondered if he'd get into hospital alive, See what I mean? A big hospital bill, and a big lawsuit for heavy dam- ages to face when he gets out--just because he would not keep to his own side. Say!" people are funny; risk their lives, cars, and everything for the sake of a second of time, : Yes, you've said it. That's my opinion, too. "can see that she chucked herself at' me." "I say," he broke off abruptly, "you don't mind my talking like this?" Go on Michael. Perhaps we shall get this thing cleared 0p," was her res- ponse, I "Well, it was bound to come tc a head sooner or later, I suppose. Her sort won't stand for holding hands and all that rot. So she started making trouble indoors with old Eden, and he used to come to me and pour out his worries--pretty rotten for me, too, iI can tell you. He was in love with her +I imagine she was his second wife, for she couldn't have 'been Daphne's mother, I do know that. "Oh, blast it," he cried angrily. "I don't see why such women ara allow- ed to live to mess up affairs. See what it has done to me. Look at what has happened now. Daphrfe has gone off believing I made love to her father's wife--as a 'matter of fact, I never so much as kissed her. As for the other thing--look here, I tell you I cared too much for making a business go to ev- en think about it. Do you believe me? "Of course 1 do Michael," she an- swered. "Go on." His face cleared a little. it T cleared Eden out, he'd take his money, and money meant so much to me then," he said, "So I--I piayed a sort of a double game for a while. I made believe that 1 did care for her, hoping that I could bluff enough to keep her amused and at the same time I was busy making plans fcr a move. I saw a chance of getting away, al- though not quite in the way that she believed. "I said before they lived : in the house adjoining the garage," he went on. "There was a room +I used as an office. Well, at that time it was just round about ths Hunt Ball season, when we had a lot of extra hire work and although I had drivers to do night work, it often happened that I'd take on a job too. Sometimes it mean't get- ting another car from another garage another, but if the order come to us then it meant supplying a car some tow or other. Well, to cut a long story short, T happened to take on one of these late night affairs, got back to the garage about four in the morning, was mighty cold, and as I had a key to the house, thought I would slip in and make myself a cup of cofice. In fact she often used to have one ready fér me." He laid down his pipe, which had gone out, looked Mrs. Gregory in the eyes and smiled, "She was there waiting for me --and there was a bit of a scene, because | believe she had been through my desk and found out that I was making plans to sell the business. Anyway, there it was, and it ended with her crying on my shoulder, begging me to take her with.me. Now I suppose you can guess a bit of the rest. I can't stand seeing a woman crying, even now, It bowls me over, Soft I know -- but there it is. Anyhow he found us there --and like the sort of man he was, he put the worst construction on every- thing--accused me of Lord knows what. There was I--and he was a much older man, I begged him to leave things to the morning, but he was het up and botherd--and, well in the end, he finished up with a sort of stroke. (To Be Continued.) ' Russian Movie Problem --Soviet Russia, too, has its mov- ing picture troubles, The chief pro- blem there is not dirt but dullness. A survey in a recent number of Isvestia is quoted in the Russian Economic Notes published by the De- partment of Commerce at Washing- ton. Russian films are described by Izvestia as being low in artistic merit, uninspired in theme and over- laden with propaganda. The last con- | dition is one that obtained in Soviet literature until Stalin issued orders for a little less proletarianism and a little more artistic truth and enter- tainment. The human mind is cap- able of absorbing just so much pro- paganda. After that it goes to sleep; 'as it has done in Soviet Russia and Nozi Germany. Soviet planning as applied to the screen industry does not show up better than American cutthroat . in- dividualism. pictures which have been two years or more in the making, An extreme case is the film "It Happened One Summer," which was five per cent. cer pleted at the end of a year at a cost of 500,000 rubles. The Russian narkiet can hardly carry such cosis, Attendance in 1933 was one visit a year per head of the population. In the United States it was 30 visits a year. ---New Ycrk Times.

Vagrants who deliberately damage railway property may be imprisoned for three years. All persons not employed by rail- ways are forbidden to live on rail- way property, and Communist rail- way workers have been enjoined-to inaugurate wide propaganda cam- paign among transport employes to protect passengers and guard state transportation against sabotage and disruption. Both official Russian newspapers, "Pravda" and "Izvestia," published leading "articles emphasizing the nec- essity for a general rally of law-abid- ing citizens against elements which have contributed to railway accidents and are said to be impairing trans- portation so vital to the public in- terest. "Pravda" enumerated many cuses where discharged and drunken em- ployes have caused damages to tracks and rolling stock, and pointed out that a new order providing stricter penalties against hooligans and in- augurating a general campaign of education should result in great bene- fit to national economy. \ Mother and Son One of the saddest things we have 'read for some time, says Ed. Duncan, in the Wiarton Echo, was the case of an aged widow of Wardsville, who won her second fight for possession of her home which was claimed by her son. The son had appealed the case, but the appellate court dismis- sed his appeal with costs. We know nothing .of the circumstances, but it does not look well for a son to be fighting his mother through the courts for possession of a home. It is often the case when children grow up and get the little possessions that their parents have managed to get to- géther, that they turn the parents out. It must be the fault of "early training, often indulgent parents think nothing is too good for their children and the children get the same idea and. wash their hands of any responsibility towards their par- ents, We need to take pattern from 'the Chinese where age is revered and where the old grandmother rules the household as a Matriarch.

"The average cannibal has the mind of a 4-year-old child," the captain explained, "My attitude to- ward them has to be like that of a nurse toward a group of children. Should they begin to squabble, it is forgotten as soon as their attention is turned to something else. My only problem, if they began to view me as a potential meal, is to distract their attention." The captain also exploded the pop- ular belief about the cannibals' pot with the assertion that victims are not boiled in a large pot but are "cooked over hot rocks." If that is no consolation, the capt- ain offered a bit of comfort with the statement that cannibals do not like white men as their "main dish" but prefer members of any enemy tribe as a choice diet In order to discover truth we must be truthful ourselves, and must wel- come those who approve and confirm cover, sprinkle over cinnamon. candies.
