THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, APRIL & 1929 PAGE SEVEN The Make-Believe By Kathleen Norris + 'About A Young Girl Who Married Her Employer, gave | a switt glance, of 8 ug my mother 1s well, and only sixty-nine, after all, he said quickly, She heard the pain in his voice, and forgave him the words that, coming from Hugh, had shocked her almost as & blow would have done. She went on up- stairs, but he turned away from her abruptly, and went {ato the sitting-room, and for a long time she was left alone, to wonder anx- jously what. he was dolng--what he was feeling--what he was think- ing, downstairs, | A sense of desolation and fear came over her. "This is marriage, 1 suppose--it couldn't always be #0 simple, so happy. I've got to have character; I've got to face it, what- ever it is. But if Hugh is angry at me--and he seems to be--and {if Bert--Bert--"" She remembered the big, ardent man who had walked beside her, the firm fingers under her elbow, the perspiration-soaked shirt and glowing face and the tumbled fair hair. and In a sudden misery of loneliness and and doubt put her fingers over. her eyes. "I don't know what to dol' she whispered, Hugh came upstairs a few min~ utes later, quite himself. "We mustn't worry ourselves about Bert," he sald pleasantly as he changed his clothes. "It's na. tural for the boy to vacillate a while--most youngsters do." "p--dig you, Hugh?" * Oh, the blessedness of having him talk to her normally again! "You mean when I was 8 boy? I don't believe so. But, then," Hugh said, selecting socks carefully-- "then I. was a very different type." "Ig Bert like Alice?" Beatrice ventured timidly, "No, he's not like his mother either, Aileen says," Hugh went on. with a slight effort, "thst she thinks he ought to go Into the movies; seems to feel that the boy has t-amendous magnetism--what- ever it fs!" "I think Bert has charm, and he's terrihly good-looking," Beat. rice said in a matter-of-fact voice "But it doesn't seem to me that he's a movie type. Besides that, I don't pelievs he would like it." "Afleen thinks the boy is one 1 + thousand," Hugh said. Beatrice could seem to think of "a0thin3 to say. Much later, in te long, wakeful watches of a white night, she wondered why she had not been able to laugh and say cheerfully, "Well, the girls certain. 17 seem to think so!" But at the moment she had been stu-""ly, hopelessly silent, had felt the unwelcome blood creeplig up into her face, and had wondered he w much quiet old Hugh had seen, for all that he had gone cn so quietly with his dressing. After a silence they had both be- gun to talk busily of something else. That was just before the mystery of the lost plans began, . Beatrice was loitering about the garden, at twilight, a few days lat- er, clipping asters and zinnias for tomorrow's vases, when she heard Hugh, who had arrived home an hour earlier, and was presumably changing and bathing, calllag to Nelly. 3 : Beatrice was walking toward the sound of their voices when she heard Nelly's reply. "I never touched them, Mr. Chal. loner! They're right there where they was!" "What 1s it, Hugh?" Beatrice called, from the porch, "Let me find them!" "It's nothing, dear!" he called back, in the new gentle tone he had used toward her for the last week. "It's just my plans, I thought Nelly might have moved them, "I never even dusted them the whole summer long," said Nelly firmly. "I knew they was worth a lot of money to Mr, Challoner, and I wouldn't leave Emma--"" "Aren't they in the table drawer, Tughee Beatrice demanded vlank- y. His eloquent shrug answered her. The table drawer was wide open and empty. "I've never laid a finger tip on them." sald Nelly, aghast. "Did you take them upstairs, Bee. for any reason?" "Why. no, Hugh. Why, no, Hugh," she said, slowly. She came to the table and tumbled the flow- ers from her arms to its surface without moving her eyes from her hushand's, "They must--they're right here somewhere!' she stam- mered, "Well of course they are, dear! Don't get so white," Hugh sald, laughing. "They're right here somewhere, off themselves, you know, and they're no use to anyone but me. They'll turn up!" "Youn couldn't lose a big bundle of stuff right out of a table draw- er!" Nelly, who looked frightened, protested. "Of course you couldn't!" Hugh assured her stanchly, "Anyone come into this room today, Nelly?" he asked. "Mr. Bert was here, and the maids, of course, and Mrs. Kayan- augh--that's all I seem," said Nelly after thought. "Mr. Bert was here?" "Mr. Bert was here, ves, sir. Mrs. Clam gave him a e¢lud sandwich and some merangrous." sald Nelly. She naver spoke of the éook except as Mrs. Clam, and' the colored cook re*urned her courteously the title of Nira. Mlowdler, A "! @'dn't know that," Hugh com- rented with an obligne glance for Lentriee : "Neithér did 1!" she sald gulck- y. "Ngo, sir, Mrs. Chalioner was over to Mra, MelLezu's" sald the accur- ate Nelly. "Mr, Bert come out about five minutes after sho left; be said he wanted to ste her about something, that he wasn't working now and had golug to lunch with his grandmother, but they was all away; they've movad back to the city--"' "Hugh, you don't 'think Bert--" Beatrice Interrupted the flood to ask, in a shocked, almost amused voice, "No, certainly not!" he said de- eidely. "Nobody's stolen them," Hugh went on, faintly impatient. "They're right here somewhere, of course, We must make a search; that's all," Nelly adored Bert; she had been his nurse, "If Mrs. Kavanaugh teok 'em she couldn't send 'em in in her own name, could she?" she demanded darkly, even while she turned the cushions and fell upon her knees to peer under couches, as a com. mencement to the search. Beatrice and Hugh both burst into laughter and the atmosphere was made lighter, "No, she didn't steal them, Nel- ly," Hugh said. "Here----they might be in here, in the bnokroom--" Nelly stood still, one palm sup- porting her elbow, the hard fingers of the free hand ypholding her hard jaw, "I'll bet you they're upstairsi" she said suddenly. "Who'd take them upstairs?" Beatrice demanded. "They don't seem to be fn the study, here," Hugh admitted, in a puzz.ed tone. "Could you of took 'em upstairs when you went upstairs last night, Mr, Hugh?" "Well, I might," Hugh answered, in his pleasant, friendly way, "but T don't see for the life of me why I should! --they've always semed perfectly safe down here, with the house locked every night. and no robbery every raported at Spy Lake." Beatrice was busy with rows of books, t'pping them gently forward in twos and threes, pering behind them. . "Who could possibly hide them there, Bee?" ' "I know, But Mummy has a rule that when you've looked where things might be, then you have to look where they mightn't be!" Beatrice exolained. CHAPTER XXVII "Well, it'd be a bigger roll than would go in there," Nelly observed. "They'd roll up as big ag aa um. brella!" "Laid flat--" Hugh murmured, running his flattened hands is over the strings of the opened plano. He struck a chord, which sounded clear. "Not in there," he sald. "Always the gentleman, and al- ways on the dot," Bert sald, from the doorway, "I forgot they were moving Granny into town today, and came down to the Lake, and I've been over at the club--" he began, 'Hello, what's up?" he asked, reading from thcir faces that something was am'-". , "Your father's lost his plans, and five thousand dollars with them!" Nelly announced sensationally, "Oh. cut it, you poor sap," Bert sald, shaking ber about with rn ari around her shoulders. "Now, what has happened?" he acked again, "Now, I'll tell you that I don't trust that Mrs. Kavanaugh as far as you could throw a cos] range!" Nelly sail warmly. "She one that would always make mischief, cen in Miss Alice's day. Didn't she have her crying once fit to kill her- self, and before this one here was born too--"" : "Honest, are they lost, Dad?" Bert asked., wide-eyed. "Well, they certainly are mis- laid!" Hdgh confessed, With a puzsled laugh. "You didn't have 'em upstalrs for anything, last night, for instance?" "Oh, no, no,!"" Hugh answered sharply, jerking open the empty table drawer for the tenth time. No, 1 was working on them here --right in this room--this morn. ing!" he said. "So you were, Hugh" Beatrice added, with a confirming nod. "You didn't leave the house until pearly eleven." "Di1n't take 'em down to syre 'em, Dad?" "Now I tell you that would put her finger into the Gospels themselves if she wouldn't get hanged for it!" Nelly contri- puted, of the absent Aileen, "She was here in this room, waitin' for Mis' Challoner--"" "Did you motice the plans, when you were here at luncheon time, " They couldn't' walk | Bert? "7 don't think I was In this room. Yes, I was too! I waited in here for a telephone call. I called Gran- ny," Bert sald, with sudden anima- tion, and a glance toward Beatrice. "1 thought you--" he sald, and stopped, catching himself up abe ruptly. "1 thought I'd talk to her," He finished lamely, "Come, come, my girl!" he sald to Nelly, "you incriminate yourself with these absurd suggestions, The sooner you produce the documents the better for all concerned!" "I'd produce 'em in a minute if I had 'em!" said Nelly, with an air of rectitude. "Were you and Afleen looking at th m, Bee?" "Why, no; we weren't even in the house together, Hugh, [I was in the garden when she came, and she followed me out there." "She waited a good twentv min- utes for you in here," Nelly said inflexibly. They all Jaughed. "Nelly, you get Emma, and any- that I've never moved them RRR | will you?" Hugh suggested. "And meanwhile," e sald to hb "I'll telephone Alleen, ask her if she happened to notice them on the table while she was waiting, I don't think they're stolen, and I think we'll 'have them within an hour," he added, "but it certainly is odd, This is--what? The tenth? We've got only five days to monkey round finding them," he said, looking from Beatrice's face to Bert's with a philosophical 0. The others laughed with him, but anxiously, "It's the darnedest thing I ever heard of!' Bert muttered. "Going to tell Granny?" "I don't see any particular rea- son for keeping it secret," ITugh said, atter a moment's thought. h "Hugh, could you' do fit over again in tive days? You have your notes--there must be Jots of.tLe de- tails down at the office and Ix the town house!" again in two solid months," Hugh "I couldn't put them together sald, shaking hig head. "Don't look so stricken, Bee!" he smiled as she widened her pathetic eyes to their biggest size, "No, it's not the plans," he sald slowly: "It's the strangeness of it, the feeling that someone was in this house: some- one is inimical" "Dad, Alleen couldn't have bor. rowed them?" "She might have borrowed one sheet, Bert, But hardly forty big sheets, Anyway, Bee saw her, did: r't you, Bee? Bee would have not. iced her carrying a big roll," Rugh sald, "It's the darndest thing 1 eve: heard of!' Bert said again. "There doesn't seem to be any reason for it, Hugh!" Beatri:e said over and over again bewilderecly. "Well, we'll fina them, TI mean ~--" gaid Hugh. "what eli can possibly happen? They weren't burned up-----" "They were not," said Nelly re- turning, "for to tell you the hon- est truth, there hasn't been a fire of a~y sort in the place today, Mrs. Clam uses the electric stove wicn it's as hot as this, and I didn t ¢ven have a rubbish fire, for you v re all away yesterday, and ther: was- n't no picking up to do." "Do you suppose Mother n¢ Min could have come hy and just izken them along? Mother might have felt that they weren't safe here," Huh sugested doubtliully, "Oh, Hugh, Minnie wouli rave t*lephoned immediately. Anyway, they were moving into town. They weren't likely to burden themselves with anything so heavy as that!" "Then there is nothing else to do but hunt!" Hugh said cheerfu'ly. "Mrs, Kavanaugh for you, on the that she's one |g foam," N:ly, who had calle' Ail- leer': nu ber, announced ar tnie point. Hugh went out to the hall, and Bert came over and stond close to Beatrice lookingdown at her, bul no* touching her, "You don't have to keep ving me those imploring little Jcoks, Bee," he said. "I swear 1 (on't know any more about it than you do!" "Bert, as if I could think you did!" she » exclaimed, genuinely shocked, "Well, IT didn't krow what you thought," he said. Now that hig first easy greetings, and tle natural animation and ex- citement that the discovery of the loss had caused him were over, she could see that he looked tired and serious and strained---looked odd- ly old, for Bert, "Listen," he said urgently, quickly, yet with a sort of impatient consideration for her in his 'tone and manner. "Listen, Bee. I'm not going to make you unhappy any more--I want you to know that, You may not believe me--but you'll see. Not by a look or a word--I promise you! I'm not going to die of this, Bee, does that make you fel any happler®" "I suppose so, I supopse so--"' she said anxiously and hurriedly, "But I can't seem to think of anys thing but Hugh--he would be so angry, he would be so sick. He's * She glanced fearfully at the hall doorway. "I'm anxious about him now--" she breathed. "It's all right," said Bert. "He's gone upstairs." "Well, it's this--you know he is very jealous, Bert," Beatrice whis- pered nervously, 'He says himsell that he is-- it's not just my say. ing it! And it breaks my heart to have him so quiet: as if he sus. pected--"" Bert gathered her two coli hands together, and held them tightly. "What is there for him to sus. poet?" he sked. ; "Oh, nothing----nothing! E-cep! that I am so miserable!" she breathed, tears coming into het yes. "But that's just what you yt ust.' n't be, Bee." "But I can't help it!" "You're miserable," Bert sald, "because I made you misershle-- it's all my fault. I made a foe! of myself.

Watts, seaman, was arrested on a charge of smuggling a dangerous drug when he arrived here in irons West Noho According Captain aboard the freighter from Monrovia, Liberia, to the freighter's skipper, Christiansen, who requested Watts' arrest, he became suspicious when members of his crew began acting strangely. Dishes were broken and | other articles destroyed when some of 'the sailors seemed to "go wild," he said. Upon investigation, he found in Watts' possession, he said, sixteen packages of the drug, and placed the seaman in irons, confin- ing him to the forepeak of the ves- sel and to a diet of bread and water for the balance of the voyage. The drug, native to the East Indies, is known as hyosyamus, and while not narcotic, it is said to be extremely ene else you can, and go ove: the upstairs rooms pretty thoroughly, dangerous, causing optical delusions and generally reckless behavior. FELT MISERABLE ALL THE TIME i £ E § i gl : Is ull i ski 191} GH i 3-8 52 £2 i 4 ¥ : F ! | PRESERVATION OF EGGS BY 64S 18 NEWEST METHOD Stated to be Nature's Pro- cess of Preserving Valu- able Food Ithaca, N.Y., April 8. -- A discov- ery for preserving eggs that appears to have practical uses for farmers, packers and housewives has been an- nounced at Cornell University. The preservative is carbon dioxide as, Disclosure that this gas ranks rst in nature's own egg preserving process, and that it can be controlled readily by methods previously wmcon- sidered, are the secrets revealed by the Cornell research. Carbon dioxide is part of freshly laid cggs, but it escapes rapidly through the shells. Its loss is found to be onc of the most important causes of decomposition. Control of this loss is accomplished readily be- cause the shells reabsorb gas about as easily as they lose it, and because only a slight percentage of gas is needed. Furthermore prompt atten- tion to containers of freshly laid eggs helps to retard the loss. Be- cause carbon dioxide is a natural part of the egg, its artificial use in mild doses has no ill effects upon quality, The research was conducted by Dr. Paul F, Sharp, professor of dairy chemistry, with technical assistance of A. E. Everhart of the Poultry De- partment. The experiments egan two years ago, at the suggestion of Dr. C. K. Powell of the Poultry De- partment: Six factors are found in egg preser- vation, microscopic iiving things, qua- lity of freshness, absorption of flay- ors and odors from containers, loss of water, temperature, and increase in alkalinity, and alkalinity depends almost wholly upon carbon dioxide balance, As the gas escapes, says Dr. Sharp, the whites become watery, the yolks soften and finally the thinned yolk breaks if the shell is opened. At room temperatures, he says 10 to 12 per cent of carbon dioxide is neéces- sary to preserve eggs, but at freez- ing about one per cent is enough, an amount costing but a few hundredths |. of a cent per dozen under favorable conditions, and safe for workmen, The effective use of the gas scems at present to lic in approximating na- ture's method, rather than in forc- ing by large quantities. Yolk and white are affected at different rates by absorbed gas, and the white thickens with too much of it, though this thickness disappears when natu- ral evaporation is permitted again, The two most important results thus far attained are longer preser- vation of eggs, and delivering them in a fresher state. It probably is a fact, Dr. Sharp says, that effective- ness of present storage methods comes largely from the fact that the evaporating carbon dioxide in the eggs, slightly charges the air about them. This points to practical meth- ods of getting newly laid eggs"quick- ly into good containers, even if no gas charge is available. Even a day is vital, so rapid is evaporation. So important is the research con- sidered - that patents have been ap- plied for, When the Federal Reserve Board starts out to - dispuy 1s strength, it doesn't reserve any- thing.--~Chatham News.

Washington, April 8.--The aug- ust and black-robed Supreme Court ofthe United States has been call- ed on to arbitrate a championship boxing match. The dignified "justices, however, probably will be able to decide the cage without ruling on the differ- {ence between un uppercut and the affectionate embraces which some fighters are alleged to use in the ring now----although this question is involved in the suit at issue. "The case is that of one Samuel azara, who, it is disclosed, is none other than Joe Dundeé, the welter- weight champion, Lazzara is seek- ing $10,000, the purse for a fight with "Pinky" Mitchell in Milwau- kee, in August, 1927. The state boxing authorities stopped the 10-round bout, staged beforethe national Eagles conven- tion in the sixth round, charging that the fighters were taking it easy. In fact, the referee ruled that it was "no fight" and relieved the Eagles of the obligation to pay the purse. Dundee went into federal court, seeking an injunction to compel the state boxing commission to pay the money deposited with it by the Eagles. Two lower courts upheld the commission on points of law, and his lawyers brought this appesl for a review. If a review is grant- ed by the Supreme Court when it takes up his petition following heir re-convening April 8, the mer- its of the case will be argued hefore the full court. If a review is de- nied, the case is ended, the lower court decisions stand and Dundee will not get the money. The Supreme Court judges in the past have betrayed interest In Supreme Court to Serve As Prize Fight Referees sports an damusements involved in various cases, notably a New York "anti-scalping" theatre ticket law which was held invalid because of its price fixing feature. The jus- tices at times have followed bage- ball games with interest, although they rarely attend, Several of them play golf. Another interesting sporting case now pending on appeal in- volves the future of the new sport of dog-racing in Louisiana. The operators of the New Orleans dog track, the Louisiana Greyhound Club, have appeal from lower court decisions which upheld the validity of a 1928 state law which has the effect of forbidding their opera- tions. The act forbids race tracks of less than one mile in an area near the. city. Horse racing is conducted on longer tracks, so the law has the effect of allowing this to continue while forbidding dog racing--an unconstitutional dis- crimination among the animals ex- ploited, according to the dog rac- ing people. SPEED LIMITS NO USE London.--That existing speed limits in the County of London serve no useful purpose is expressed by the Home Counties Traffic Advisory Com- mittee in their third annual report. The committee added :-- Traffic conditions enforce a limita- tion on a reasonable driver and un- reasonable drivers could be dealt with under existing legislation. Speed limits may be dangerous. A limit of ten m.p.h. may tend to be- come the minimum, irrespective of traffic conditions within the street affected.

April 8 -- The wind swept sands of Cape Henry, which first felt the impress of Capt. John Smith and his doughty band, will be the scene of a great memorial service April 26, just 322 years after the landing. The first permanent English settle- ment in America grew out of this ex- pedition which Captain Smith led, and his decision to settle on the James River was a matter of circumstance. His boats, belabored by a storm, were blown into Chesapeake Bay and, seeking refuge, he proceeded up the river. 'The first land sighted was Cape Henry, where a lighthouse said to be the oldest in America, now marks the spot of his landing, The sandy spit was not suitable for a settlement and Captain Smith ordered his three vessels higher up the James. Be- cause deep water alongside ' the banks permitted the vessels to be tied to trees, the colonists selected the present site of Jamestown and there established themselves. The memorial service will be chief« ly religious in character, Bishop James E. Freeman of Washington and Bishop Beverly D. Tucker of Virginia having active charge of the exercises. Governors of North Caro- lina, Virginia and Massachusetts will attend, representing early colonial settlements of those three states. Pre- sident Hoover also has been invited.
