CHAPTER XV But these were bright times. In Wpite of Patricia's devotion, lite with her was py no means all joy wnd peace, A dominant will, ax tacannily mature mind armed with the misunderstood cynicism of a disappointed father, much charm and no sense of discipline what- er--she gave Helen's mind and eolings enough to do. If she and he child had not formed & bond hat was almost that of sisterhood, her work would have been even ore difficult than it was. 'She learned that the child could mot stand routine; so sometimes she came to Kingsway House, and JOB Imes Patriela would come to er, She understood Marietta better now, too, since she had been lv- ing in the house with her. Marl. eifa's most actual romance was the Kinsway family, It was her adventure book, her fairy-tale. Marietta, Patricia, Mrs. Kings- way, merry upstairs in the great house between her paroxysms of pain: Ethan seen occasionally com. ing and going; for some weeks this was Helen's world. It was all the world she wanted; kind people. v child's love, ard a place to hide. For Petricla loved Helen, and-- rimost--trasted mer. She did net quite trust anybody. Her father had evidently poured his selfish cynicism into her clear, innocent. child-mind; and a part of her de- votion to his memory seemed to be the determination to keep his view- point. Patricia looked up to her {and loved her; Mrs. Kin »y's eyes brightened when she cand in- o the room; even Ethan-though he thought he still felt she was ike all the other girls of the day and didn't think much of them-- she knew was beginning to be her friend now. i The more she saw of Ethan {kingeway the more she respected It was strange to Lave become pn integral part of this house- 1d. Life was like a kaleidoscope The life with Nina and Tommy, Behind that, the long dimmed years back at homs in the shabby hand-to-mouth house in Baltimore. that big rambling old house with its makeshifts for necessities and its pieces of unnecessary luxury; her mother, so charmed by her 'father's light-hearted gay ways that she did not oven seold when he let her go without needed dress- es and came home magnificently [bestowing pleces of jewelry, or |more often pieces of furniture that she did not need. ' For the first time since the breathless, wearing, adoring life of Nina and Tommy and Kingsway Village had gone with a turn of the kaleidoscope, Helen felt en- tirely happy. How different pec- ple were from your labels of them! This gay: friend was theo alld mother" party becanii'Sf whom Nina had thrown Etban over. i They sat together in. the sunny room, talking about little things little inconsequent, foolish things together.

Helen started suddenly. She re- membered something. Why, that was what Ethan had been whistl- ing, that time he came to say good-bye, in the dim time while [she lived with Nina and was so hardworked an¢ excited and over- ET 7nd thoneht it was well And hanninoeg "And Le wouldn't tell me why was one of them, peopl - it was the King of Spain's daugh- ter," she said under her breath, Mrs. Kingsway did not hear her, She was going on happily wita her story, while Helen listened breathlessly, "You know the little names and phrases that just belong to the two of you, that you build up with people you love. My husband knew sll sorts of little cut of the way folk-16re things; ind he said that in the days when some peasant made that rhyme, the King of Spain stood to the folk-mind for all that was great--indeed, he was the most powerful king, for a long time, you remember. And her coming to see the fairy tree blos- som, to the dreaming young peas. ant who made that rhyme, was the esoming of the most beautiful and wonderful and impossible love one had ever dreamed about . . . SO we planted the tree together." Helen looked at Mrs. Kingsway, a little awed by the old love story. Mrs. Kingsway went on talking, softly: "When you love anyone as I lov- ed my husband," ghe sald, 'you can't lose them, even if they have gone away before you. I have so many memories . . . some quier, and some gay, some just happy . . . that some of the t'me it's as if he were just in the next room, And then--her fuce changed to brightness--"1 was always light- hearted.

Mrs, Kingsway's face was tend- er, regarding her. "You have more than most peo- ple, Helen," Mrs. Kingeway said, "beauty, gayety and ability of ali sorts. And honesty and simplici- ty. And people will always bs perfectly delighted to have you round!" "Oh, Mrs, Kingsway, if you do think I'm Hke that, won't you tell Ethan, He thinks all modern girls are hard and deceitful." "Ethan thinks 907" "What does Ethan think" asked Ethan's own voice. "You have a caller down at the lodge, Helen, the little Milliken girl." She had become "Helen to the household by now. "Your ideal," said Helen, sud- denly saucy, "of mid - Vietorian youth!" "- ) He looked amused, as he cross. ed over and sat down beside his mother's chaise longue. Little Mies Milliken? As a mat- Iter of fact, my ideal of mid-Vie- torian youth is under my hand -- and an imp of Satan now and a- gain, by the way!" "Ethan, if you talk like tha. she'll think you have a mothes: complex," said "Mrs. ~ Kingsway a But she squeezed his and, és are such bad things to have," said Helen impulsively. "I wish I bad a mother to have one on!" Patricia slipped in. ish voice broke in on them: '"Helen, do you believe people could love each other really, and believe in each other, really?" "Yes, I do Patricia," Helez said steadily, "If I couldn' believe that, no matter whatever happened to me, I think I'd dle." "Father didn't," said Patricia. "He said if I never did I'd be sa'e, nobody could ever hurt me; I'd | hurt them instead. Father .. ." "Father wanted you to be bap- PY, my dear.

"I wonder it I'm by way of ow-' ing you another apology?" he said startlingly. | "What on earth have you been doing to her?" demanded Mrs. Kingsway. "He lumped me," said Helon flippantly. "You have to either like people or lump them, and he lumped mp--with a lot of other people," "What about you did I lump?" demanded Ethan. "About me?

Mrs. McCormack, formers ¥ Johannah Tangney, was born in i 92 years ago, the daughter of late Mr. an rs. Jeremiah Tangney. When Mrs. Tangney was ten years of age she and her parents embarked on a sailboat to come to Canada. The passage took from two and a half to three months.

Wisely Mrs. Reddy asked no ques tions of Reddy Fox when, lame, bruised, wounded and muddy, he returned home Wisely Mrs. Reddy asked no questions of Reddy Fox when lame, bruised, wounded and muddy he returned home. She simply did what she could to make him feel better. She licked his wounds and helped him clean his coat, Then she left him to keep watch of the six lively little Foxes playing around the doorstep and went hunting, No matter what might happen there must he food for those six little mouths. Reddy felt that he should be off hunting too, but he knew the best thing he could do was to remain quiet for a while, "I wonder what Mrs. Reddy thinks happened to me," thought he as he lay waiching the young- sters play. "Of course, I'll have to tell her. I don't want to but I must, I'm ashamed to let her know that I wasn't smart enough to get those young Marsh Hawks and not be caught doing it. Perhaps I ought to have told her about that nest, Working together we might have succeeded. Now Whitetail and Mrs. Whitetail know that I know about that nist and one or 'the other will always be on guard." Late that afternoon Mrs. Reddy laid down beside him. She was tired for she had been hunting most of the day. However, she had had good luck and the six young- sters had full stomachs and were taking a nap. Reddy was just get- ting ready to tell her what had happened to him when she spoke. "Whitetail or Mrs. Whitetail must have returned home rather unexpectedly," %aid she. There was a twinkle in her eyes which Ww. Burgess watching the nest?" he asked. "I ran across your trail one day and followed it. You were hidden in'the bushes and so intent watch- ing that you didn't know I was about," explained Mrs. Reddy. '1 knew that if you did succeed in getting those young Hawks you would bring them home to the family so I said nothing. It was your hunt, =o, of course, wouldn't interfere. Just the same I didn't think you would be suc- cessful, I hoped you would, but 1 bad a feeling you were wasting your time. As for me, long ago I gave up all thought of try- ing to get those young Hawks. With these youngsters of ours to take care of I couldn't afford to take any chances. I'm glad 1 didn't." formed men at the doors ready to explain anything required of them. On the same day the Prince Robert arrived with all the Canadian dele- gates, and this afternoon the pavi- lion will appear as-though it had been in operation for weeks. Ma- jor McColl, the Canadian Commis- sioner, and his assistants have worked like Trojans, and can well afford to sit hack and smile with satisfaction at the result. Every now .and then one reads of the high grade of efficiency and up-to-date- (ness of the Dominion of the North, Buenos Alres has been given a prac- tical object lesson of this, and one that will not fail to make its im- pression. The average Argentine is of the go-ahead type and quick to appreciate modernity. Canada has shown him how things can be done. and we may be sure thet the demonstration will have its full ef- fect." After this one needs not insist on the impression created here by the participation of Canada to the Brit. Ish Empire Art and Industrial Ex- position. As a matter of fact Can- ada attracts more than its formal share of attention. Its pavilion was the first completed--a fact much appreciated by H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, who paid it a pri- vate visit a week before the official opening--and one which receives now the most visitors, It is well situated on the Palermo ground and "I wish I hadn't," sighed Reddy.
