Pow °s 0s + ne wy » " - ~-- RE n He The Quality Tea - "SALADA ORANGE PEKOE Synopsis Chapter X: Rocky 1s not impressed with Vallalucourt but thinks he 1s in love with the beaultful, but not very intelligent, Veronica. On leaving the Bigelow man- slon Crlstopher Btorm solemnly and in a brotherly fashion kisses Veronica good- night. CHAPTER XI "Well, while he was having his "snort, the wife comes in. She stood there in the doorway, looking dag- gers at him. 'Going. out, Steve?' she says, and he walks by hier without a glance. She put her hand out, but he brushed her off." "She's kind of helpless where fie. is concerned, I guess. "Helpless! You got her doclietid all 'wrong. She just watched him go and gave me a big icy stare.' Then King, the major-domo, calls her to the phone and she goes out." "She had a phone call?" _ "Yep. After which "She went out, you say?" "Yes, she 'did. She wasn't gone fong. About an hour. When -she came home, she messed around the ivories until hubby rolled in, about twelve o'clock. Then the place quieted down for the night." "Stephen came home late?" "Yes. going in, "cause a door opened up- stairs. The piano 'stopped. He shouted something or other at her that I didn't get. Then a couple more doors slammed. iid "That the story?" . * * * "All but mama. There's an old die-hard. If there's anything rocks ny boat, it's the old gals that won't give up the ship. She stopped King in the hall and asked for Stephen. She almost dropped when he told her sonny boy was doing the town, Then she yelled for Karen. When the butler reported that Karen had gone out too, she made a beeline for the upstairs. In about twenty minutes, she came down, called a cab anad made her exit." "When did she get home?" "Just before ~Stevey-boy. = She came. in, or floated in, would be more like it. She had just got the shock of her life. No act this time, I actually had: to help her upstairs, though I'll bet she won't remember it." McCale nodded thoughtfully and they fell silent for a few minutes. The figment of his imagination was jumping about wildly. He was surer than ever that tragedy stalk- ed the Bigelows. Finally with a gesture--half disdain, half despair --he launched 'into a description of the events witnessed by Ann and himself at the Abbey. * * * When he had finished, he cocked ~ an eyebrows looking interrogatively at his friend and employee. Rocky said at last slowly, "The thing that sticks out farthest, chief, at least, as I see it--"" "Is what?" "Is what Mr. bridegroom-to-be, scems to' be as busy as a bee,. painting" himself right into a corner.' ) } At four- thirty that afternoon, Duke McCale stood before the fire- place in the upstairs drawing room of the Beacon street house. He was facing Adelaide Bigelow, who was huddled in the corner of a Victor- ian sofa. There was something held back in her a studied remoteness, McCale had been talking quietly, in a. voice which surprised himself at its own compassion, "You'll have to. pardon me if I say you have been-shall I say-- extremely British about this situa- tion. You have made: a concession here, an appeasement there, until it is quite. futile to take any action. You have called me in months too late." | "Mr, McCale," there was a fight touch 6f hauteur in her tone in spite of herself, "you are presuming too much; 3 she banged heck out of the piano for another 'half hour." He must have heard her" ~ him,' Curt Vallaincourt, called -you-in to look. w.N. 6 FEATURES after -the house during the week of the wedding." "I'm sorry, but that is not the truth. Never once have 1 believed you came to my office with that in mind. I knew you were in trouble even though you withheld your con- fidence. Even now you will not ad- mit it, even. to yourself. I have gone on that premise from the first --that you wanted me to find out things without even the rsponsibill- ty. on your part of telling me what." . ® ; She rose stiffly, without answer- ing, and crossed the room to the front window. "l wish to withdraw from the case, Miss Bigelow. There's noth- ing I can do for you." i * * * "Oh, no!" The words, half muf- fled in the heavy atmosphere mag- nified themselves in the" gastades of the room, of "It is necessary for me, since you will not confide in me, to tell you exactly what it is that is bothering you--what it is: that vou fear. You | see, [ know, What is it?" Miss Bigelow turned and Mec- Cale saw intg her mind quite easily. "So many things are net-as we want them to be, nor as we believ- ed them to be," she said. Her eyes clouded. "What do you know?" "I know that a certain young man of undeniable physical attrac- tion is marrying thirty million dollars next week. I know that in« your subconscious. mind, you be- lieve him to be an adventurer. I know that you should have investi- gated him months ago--that you are also bothered by the fact that your entire family seems jealous of his marriage to your niece. Not jealous, mind, of his perhaps having the benefits of a great fortune, but jealous in a more personal way,. ag if sccretly they were all in love with him and wanted him for them- selves." * * * "You areyo--right," she faltered. Her cyes -lit up in admiration, "How in the world--" "I am a trained observer. It Is Job to see what others miss, Then, too, I have sources of infor- mation. "I know," he went on, his volce low and impatient now, "that you must have another reason, for sure- ly you are not caught in the trap this fellow sets for the unwary. Are you afraid Veronica will lavish too much of the Bigelow money on forgetting the others? You see, I have heard that she inherits the bulk of it upon her mariage." "I will tell you," she said simply. "Veronica's father, my brother," she began, motioning him to sit, "was a--hard- mau, 1 suppose, but: 'not unusual for his time, I think. He believed that women have ho heads for business--cannot handle money. He was heir to my father's business and fortuné of about twelve million dollars, With real estate and clevkr investing, he more than doubled that fortune, ° There was no male heir to whom he could leave it, you sce." * % * adopted son, McCale put in quickly. "Yes, she hesitated, "but not his own flesh and blood. -But there was certainly Stephen. "At one time, I think he intended for Stephen to inherit. But Stephen, in his eyes at least, proved himself unworthy. Sybil 'always spoiled him. He grew up precocious, ex- travagant. He ran away once and, joined the navy. A bitter experience for him. The more so when he found that Joel could no doubt have procured an appointment to Annapolis for him, Marriage to Karen has straightened him out somewhat." "There was his Stephen," "So. the Bigelow. fortune is held "in trust?" ATO BE CONTINUED) walls, Homing Pigeons Braved Dangers In War Service The exceptional qualities of a brave and resolute disposition, re- tentive memory, quick intelligence,' and accurate powers of observation, possessed by homing pigeons have long been encouraged and trained "in Britain, McKechnl Science Barbara writes in The Christian Monitor. ; During the "war nearly 200,000 well-trained homing pigeons were given free of charge to the fighting services of Great Britain and the United States forces in Europe. Medals Awarded The war services of these birds often entailed their being carried in aircraft, parachuted to earth and braving guns and hawks on the coast inorder to get messages through to England, But so reso- lute was their spirit in face of these unnatural than 24 Dickin Medals, the V.C. of the animal world, were awarded to homing pigeons during the 1939 to 1945 war. The flights of some of these birds make interesting rcading. "Winkie," for instance, was carried in an aircraft which. had to be ditched on account of engine trou- ble. The pilot, a wing commander and holder of the D.S.O., released Winkie with a message. He flew between 120 to 1140 miles home, de- livered the mesage, with the result that four lives were 'savd. Went To Dieppe When the Canadian forces land- ed at Dieppe, the first detailed news was flown by "Beach¢omper" to army headquarters at a speed of over 50 miles per hour. On that tempestuous morning of June 6, 1944, it was "Gustav" who delivered the first messages of the landings on the Normandy beaches. He had already earned for himself | a reputation for reliability, and. on. | "this occasion he took five hours and 16 minutes to get the message. through. 'King George VI owned "Royal Blue," the first pigeon during the war to bring messages from a force-landed air crew on the contin- ent. And "Rhur,"" who, after two years' good work in emergency in- trcommunications, was dropped by parachute within enemy lines more than 300 miles from his base. In reaching home he Accomplished one, of the best performances of its kind - on record. ; Some Wounded Neither did birds always reach home unscathed. "Mary," who was on active service from 1940 until the end of hostilities, was attacked by a hawk and had seven stifches in her neck. Part of her wing was. shot away." Another brave little lady was "Kenley Lass," the tirst pigeon to be used for secret communication from cnemy-occupied France. Her first task, a particularly difficult one, involved a parachute jump with her agent. After a safe. land- ing the agent had to make a Journey of 'nine miles on foot at night across country, with the pigeon + concealed on his person. The bird never murmured. She also had to be concealed in cramped condi- tions in.a house for 11 days before the information she had to carry home had been obtained. When she actually was released, she covered well over 300 miles, carrylng data that proved of the utmost value. Public recognition for these acts -of special gallantry by the award of the Dickin Medal has been greatly welcomed. Each recommendation 1s brought before a committee of the Allied Forces Mascot Club and is carefully considered. The award, as will have been seen.by the forego- ing, is not easily won. Good Priming.
