Astonishment was. written all over his countenance, mingled. with relief as he saw her. But then, instantly," his face was masked by cruelty and passion as he looked through the window. -dcy shivers ran up and down Honey's spine. She not want him to know she had scen him, or that she knew he was anywhere around. Ignor- ance on her part might postpone the showdown that would surely come when he knew his presence was discovered. So she .sat there, trying to act highly interested im Mrs. Carey's tale, whizh was no lgnger~funny to her. Blood rushed through veins at double quick time, and her temples pounded like sledgeham- mers. She expected almost momen- tarily to sce Joe lift a hand and fire a gun at her point blank, so enraged w®e his eyes for a while; they were black with cold fury. Then slowly as -she watched out the corner of her cyves she saw a slow wicked gleam cross his face. She knew without a doubt 'that plans that included her were form- ing in his mind. After minutes of staring through the, window, which seemed hours to Honey as she went through mental and «Bon agony, Joe turned and ANNE ADAMS The most becoming casual you ever 'had!

She forced herself to sit calmly and wait until she was certain that he was no louger watching, then she stood, trembling violently. "You have a chill, child," ex- claimed Mrs, Carey in amazement. "My dear, you are ill." "I --1 must leave. Nowl"" she gasped in hoarse whispers. There was no denying the haste in her tone, nor the frantic appeal in the eyes that she lifted pleadingly to Art. "Please." "I'll take Yor, But as he walked to the window his steps were slow as if nothing were wrong. He pulled down the shade. 'After that his movements were rapid. He hurried to Hofley's side. "Somebody was looking in at the window?" he asked. She nodded her head. * * * g "Yes," she told him, trying hard to bring calmness back into her excited voice. "1 must get away quickly. Oh, please--I can't wait another minute, it might already be too late." Art turned without a word and went out the back door." He re- turned almost instantly. "There is no one around We'll leave at once." Mrs. Carey stood wide-cyed and sai nothing until Honey was ready to go. Then she put motherly arms about her and kissed her affec- tionately and there were tears in the older woman's eyes. "I amv sorry, my dear, that you have to go." Sincere regret was in her voice and matched the senti- ment in her eyes. "I am sure it must be urgent or you would stay until morning. I shall worry about now. you." . Honey returned tlie embrace warmly, She had become very at- tached to the Careys in the short time she had been in. their home and she hated to part from them. "Thank you for being so kind to me, Mrs. Carey. I shall never for- get it. I do have to go, though. You will understand some day. And please do not worry. I shall be. All right." . . * Honey and Art crept silently out of the house and only the noise of the motor as.it was started told of their Yeparture. Miles flew by .quickly and silence seemed. to be the best companion for a long time. Art gave his atten- tion to the task of keeping on the foggy highway. He did not even take time out for lighting up his faithful pipe. (Continued next week.) How It Started "Just 500 years ago, during a crop failure, a Swiss baker named Pum- per Nickel devised a loaf of bread which used up all grain; thus help- ing to conserve wheat. The pumper-* "nickel'loaf has been sold ever since. Art spoke quickly. CROSSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS 14 Jong ong way » , matter : ' , Wenken E 12. Past - wt 18. Whinny 14, Cretan moun- tain 16.

Tie pT ey MRTG, Ad (i HRONICLES Jaivneer Farm (arn A AN: 1A "Me Would you like some nice, fresh string beans straight from the gard- erty All right then, better drop in and have dinner with us and that is just what you will get. Come to think of it, you had better let us know over night when you are coming so I can get a carton from the locker. Yes, I admit that is where the Beans are stored -- and are they ever good! Do you re- nicmber, away back in August, we were experimenting with grees string beans? According to my irozen-food cook book, beans for the locker should be scalded, bleached and then packed in weak brine. After doing several cartons that way someone told me that tlie only purpose of the scalding and brine-packing method was to pre- serve' the colour -- actually the beans would keep just as well if put in plain. Well, I am always ready to try an easier way of doing things, so after that Cicely and I picked our beans, washed them, cut them diagonally Ynto smal] pieces -and packed the cartons just as tight as we could get them. Result -- a pint of beans . for two cents -- the price of quick freezing, Not -only: that but -tliey were produce from the garden that would otherwise have been wasted. You know how it is with beans -- they dre so prolific it's.impossible to keep pace with them for, the table. So there you are -- just thought I would 'tell you the result of our ex- periment as you might like to try that way yourself sometime. Believe 'ne, it is much easier than fussing around with boilimg water and brine I meant to have tried fresh green peas that way but we ate them all -- there were none for the locker. Here is another experiment -- it is not my own --- just one that was handed on to me. A certain party was given about a bushel of yellow corn on the cob. Not garden corn-- just straight field corn, like farmers grow for the cows. The lady in question cooked a few cobs but it was so tough her family ¢ouldn't eat it. Being a frugal body she hated throwing so much good food away 30 she tried an experiment too. All she did was slice off the corn into cartons just as you would for can- ning, sent it down to the locker -- and forgot about it. * This winter she took a carton home, cooked the corn as usual -- and it was as nice and tender as any she had ever tasted, The only explanation they could give her at the locker was the process of freezing had probably. broken down the tough. fibres 'of answered -- "You managed pretty well without "it for about twenty "years." Having got thus far I had to stop . there was business to see to' down town. ~ Last. night 1 got everything ready -- bank book, shopping list and application form - filled in for my driver's permit. Then I got my nice new purse that was sent to me from England -- and there I was, already to go. I went' to the Post Office and then to the 'bank -and- in 'eagh case had occa- sion to use only alittle small change. The MAAR was my next port of call. What I bought came to nearly two dollars. T fumbled around in my purse for my wallet -- aad it just wasn't there! Tvery woman knows how hard it is to get used to a new purse so I thought it being a little awkward I must have taken out the wallet while hunting for. something élse NEW and USEFUL TOO -- l PRE I ABRICATED BAT H- ROOM UNIT, A unit which drops ° in place in any type floor joint con- struction "and is half the size of units formerly available. = Said to be, easily moveable on pipe rollers . by only one man.

What it contained wasn't a fortune but it was definitely too much to lose. I inquired at the bank and the post office and it wasn't there. Incident- ally it left me without any money for shopping! I got around that by collecting the cream cheque. "Now look here," I said to myself, "don't .get in a stew until you are sure you have something to worry about."
