A humm THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1930 PACE FIVE LOVE SHY - Installment Thirty-Twe ASTOUNDING NEWS After the greetings were over they clustered around the tea wagon and began talking of the events just past. hen Mildred had been thoroughly satisfied that she knew everythin, about the excitement Janet an Jimmy had gone through, Jmmy said: "Now, it's my turn to asl questions, . Janet and I are dying to know, How you and Westlake got so ally." Mildred lighted a cigarette, slid to the floor, rested her head against John Westlake's knees and smiled up at him: "Well," she said, "it's a funny story, come to think of it. About last Wednesday--the same day you were all up inthe air about things, I got a cable from Paris. Duncan and Thera had inade every- thing up, Thera was all off the divorce stuff completely and Duncan was so happy over their reconcilia- tion that apparently it never occurred to him I might take it pretty hard. I felt poisonous after 1 read the cable--I wanted to throw things when I remembered how for three years I'd been in love with Duncan, fceding on crumbs and mot even looking at another man. I sent Lucy away for the day, and cried and raged and thought of drinking car- bolic acid all day long." She reached a hand up to West- lake's and he clasped it firmly in his: "Then about 6 some one knocked at the door. I thought it was Lucy com- ing back to cook my dinner, 1 had forgotten completely that I, had promised John the night before to take dinner with him. 1 flounced to the door in my dressing gown--I hadn't dressed all day--and there stood John. He looked so funny when he saw me standing there like that--red eyes, hair all tangled around--oh! I was a sight, and he looked so completely flabbergasted that I laughed, I couldn't help it. So 1 said: "Come in and console me, I need it! Well, he needed some con- solation, too, Janet knows about that, and before midnight we had told each other the story of our lives and de- cided we were pretty good friends." She paused and stared into the fire dreamily and Westlake took up the story in his deep voice: "Since then, I've been here morning moon and night and just this afternoon I per- suaded her that Wisconsin would be a pretty place to live, part of the year , anyway." "We're going to be married soon," Mildred went on, "and we're going ibroad for the rest of the summer and fall. Then we'll come back for the winter--John has to be in the West by holiday time. Oh, it's going to be grand to have some one take care of me, he's the only man I know who can do it--he's so big and steady--" Janet wondered how Mildred could speak so frankly of her intimate ieelings and affairs and yet it seem- ed entirely natural, coming from Mildred. "Will yeu Janet asked. "No, we'll keep that for our New York house, we'll be here part of every year, What do you think of all this, Jimmy 2" "1 think it's swell". Jimmy said promptly, "I'm 2 fittle bit stunned-- always am when I hear of such fast work--doggone me if I know how you. do it. Here I've been arguing with Janet for four months and she won't even consider marrying me." "Poor technique," Mildred obser- ved. "john's been as busy as a little boy killing snakes ever since he wan- dered in here that evening--it seems ages 'ago, doesn't 'it, John?" He smiled at her for answer. Speech did not come as easily to him, but it was plain that he adored Mil- dred and it came to Janet that they would be supremely happy together. "A Lonely Old Man--" "Seen dad yet," Jimmy asked casu- ally, wondering how Westlake felt now that he knew the truth about the Warren brother and sister, "Had dinner with him last night," Mildred said, "Everything's jake with him. He thinks John is a wonder, and privately I'm inclined to think he's might glad to get me off his hands." "I expect he thinks I'm a total loss," Jimmy. remarked. "Just about," Mildred agreed amiably, "but he thinks you'll make progress in time. He's pleased that you've stuck to this job as you have so long." Janet listening, the only one in the room who did not know the truth about the older Mr, Warren, pictured him:to herself as some lonely old man, working hard for a living, glad to have his only daughter marry well. Probably he had expected great things of his son and was bitterly disappointed that Jimmy remained only a filling-station clerk. She felt very sorry for Mr. Warren and though that if some day she met him she would sympathize with him over Jimmy's lack of ambition. She thought, too, that it was queer the way Jimmy shied away from the sub- give up the studio?" By Barbara Webb Copyright by Public Ledger ject whenever she tried to talk to-him about his future. He never wanted to discuss it with her and usually declared it would take care of itself. She came back from her reverie to hear Mildred saying--"and we'll have a very quiet wedding--no at- tendants, or I'd ask you to be bridesmaid, Janet. Little-Church- Around-the-Corner stuff, you know, Look here, Janet, I've got to finish that portrait of you before we sail. Can you give me all of next Satur- day afternoon? 1 think that will be all I'll need for the finishing touches --I'll ask you all here for dinner that evening and we'll show the portrait and Janet can wear the Quaker dress to dinner--how's that for a party?" "Fine," Jimmy cried, "and say, I want to have a party for you, too. How about. the theatre some evening this week 2" "I'm not going to go out at all this week," Janet said hastily, fearing to be drawn into a round of entertain- ing that would throw her constanly with Jimmy. "I'm going back to work tomorrow, you know, and then I'l have Adelaide pretty much on my hands this weck, too." Jimmy shrugged, "No hurry, you won't be married for several weeks, will you, iMIdred? "I have to go back to Wisconsin for a week," John Westlake said. "I'll leave right after the party next Saturday night, I think, then when I come back we'll be married just as soon as Mildred is ready." Beginning or End? They talked a little longer and then Janet and Jimmy left, for Janet insisted on going to bed early so that she might be fresh for her work next day in the office. It was not until they reached her house that Jimmy asked her the question that had been uppermost in his mind ever since Mildred's astounding news. "I don't want to be cheeky," he told Janet, "but there's something I'd like to ask you if I may." "Ask away," Janet sai didly, hav- ing no inkling of the question. "Did you--did you feel at all badly when Mildred said she was going to marry John Westlake?" "Feel badly?" Janet echoed. "Why should I feel badly? I was only glad that she was so happy. h. I see what you maen. No, I never even thought of that, Jimmy. You see, I never cared for Mr. Westlake that way at all and I never really had any idea of--of marrying him. I don't think he cared a great deal for me, cither, or he wouldn't have gotten over it so quickly. No, I don't feel the least bit jilted." "Good," Jimmy exclaimed quickly, seizing -her hand. "I always knew you weren't the girl to marry for money. Someday, . Janet, someday, darling--" "Don't," she checked him. "Please, Jimmy, don't spoil the very last night of my vacation." ® He dropped her hand instanly. "Some vacation," he said with a sigh. "Yes, it's been pretty hectic--such a lot of things have come to an end, Adelaide's marriage, Mildred's carrer as a painter, and--" she started to add, "our own romance," but bit the words off before they were spoken. "Whenever anything ends," Jimmy said, "something else begins. I have a feeling that instead of being the end this is the beginniig of a lot of mew things for us all" "Maybe it is," said Janet thought- fully. "I hope so, anyway." "I know so," Jimmy said and then with lightning swiftness he caught her and kissed her. He erleased her before she could catch her breath, ran lightly down the steps and dis- appeared with a wave of his hand. And Janet, going slowly on to bed, wondered 'about his kiss, Was it the end or the beginning of a change in their relations? To Be Continued Tomorrow BALSAM Raglan, Feb. 12--There' was no church service or Sunday school here on Sunday owing to-the inclement weather. Rev. Geo.

Que., Feb. 14.--There never was a time when interest in architecture was as general as it is today, declared Prof. Philip J. Turner, F.R.I.LB.A.,, in an illus- trated address on "The Present Trend in Architecture," given be- fore the Women's Art Socioty Here recently People who would hesit- ate to express'an opinion on music or sculpture know whether or not they like a building, he sald. It is difficult to judge the work of one's own time, said Prof, Tur- ner, as it is too close to allow of perspective. The two influences which have always affected the ar- chitecture of a people are, practi cal necessities, including climate, and the spirit of the age or race. New art must always of necessity lean heavily on old art and strive to keep the best of the old while seeking to express new ideas in new forms. There are good and bad manners in architecture, said Professor Turner, A building should consider its neighbors ana adapt itself to its surroundings. Changes in 'architecture come as an answer to human need. In this sense, we always have had new architecture; Christopher Wren was a modernist and all dis- tinguished architects are modern- ists. The best modernists are those who understand best the needs of hte day and strive to satisfy those necds, the tendency today being to express purpose in a logical, straightforward = manner, without unnecessary embellishment. This is a mechanical age, the lecturer continued. New methods in thinking and acting have impelled architects to interpret the new method of life, for art never stands still. Some of the things that are effecting the great changes in buildings of today are the neces- sity of using new building mater- fals and simpler forms, not less comfortable or efficient, mechan- jcally, but more shop-made work, and less work done at the building itself. The evolution of the steel build- ing has been the most momen- tous step in the history of architec- ture since the days of Rome, said the lecturer. BANK OFFICIAL \Canadian Astronomer Makes Great Scientific Discovery Victoria, Feb. 14.--(By C.P.) --Dr. J.'S. Plaskert. director of the astrophysical observatory near Vic- toria, one of the world's most cmin- ent and astronomers, has added to the reputation of Caadian science and to hissown fame by an astound- ing discovery concerning the move- ment of the world, the sun and all the heavenly bodies visible to man- kind. For this achievement the Royal Astronomical Society has awarded to him its coveted gold medal, Which never before has come to Canada. Dr. Plaskert's newest discovery has been translated into unscientific lan- guage to mean that cvery star with- in the vision of the most powerful telescope and every other body for billions of miles beyond them, is ro- tating about a centre inconceivably distant trom this carth, The motions of the speck of mat- ter known as our world thus are dis- covered to be though the theory now proven by Dr, Plaskert has been suggested as posisble before. First, it is explained, the world rotates on its own axis in a motion which gives us night and far more complicated | human than has usually been supposed, al-|Plaskert cstimates that it day. This motion is dt the rate of 28,000 miles in twante four hours. The world goes around the sun once a year, providing the change in sea- sons, this tour being conducted at the rate of '13 1-2 miles a second. Thirdly, the earth moves with the sun in another circle, this being in- dependent apparently of the great universal movement which Dr. Plas- kert has been investigating. Fourth- ly, as he explains, the earth, the sun, the moon and every tiny point of light visible to astronomers is travel- ing in a circle of almost unimagii- able diameter. Its centre appears to be in the direction of the constella- tion Sagiftarius; and is so distant | that light from there would take 47,- {000 years to reach the earth, Travelling at inconceivable speed through space, all the heavenly bod- ics within men's ken are going over distances which it is difficult for the mind to comprehend. Dr. requires 300,000 years for the visible universe to complete its great journey around its distant centre, The movement is at the rate of about 300 kilometres a second, or some 200 miles, This is more than 2,000 times as fast as air- records for human travel.

A messenger boy passing the vault had his attention attracted by the gasping sounds coming from the vault, and notified Walter Duck of 30 Gough Avenue, a bank mes- gsenger, who opened the door and found the dying man. Detectives Clarke, Munro and Mumberson were summoned and had the man rushed to the hospital Gwyn, during the past few -days, learped of the. deaths of a brother and uncle, and this may have been the cause of his act.
