MARRYING MARK .... by Violette Kimbail Dunn SYNOPSIS After Mark Alexander's beautiful wife Ellen .died, her whole family became .. interested In Valerie, Ellen's daughter by a farmer mar- riege. All save Shirley aeemed to have the-ir eyes on the trust fund left Valerie by Ellen. Dorothy, Elise, and their husbands., want Valerie to live with them, but Mark will have none of it. Mark and Val- erie go on a two-months' automo- bile trip and. as they near home, meet Lucy Tredway, owner of a broken down traveling library. Mark asks Lucy to tutor Vale. ie. and she accepts. CHAPTER THIRTEEN "I'll be right along." she prom- ised. "It won't take me . minute." "Could you If you wouldn't mind, wear the primrose taffeta? Maybe It Isn't nice enough, now you have your own things" sug- gested Valerie. "It's much nicer than anything of mine." Lucy told her truthfully. "You see. I didn't need muc-h In the Ark. Mostly Just breeches and bixrts. I love your dress, and I'll adore wearing It." "You're terribly sweet " Valerie breathed to her through the crack In the door. Lucy dashed under a shower, ran a comb through her hair, fell into a brief silk undergarment or two, and slipped Valerie's dress over her head. She put on a bit of makeup before her dressing table mirror, and went out. She found Valerie waiting patiently In the hall out- side, and they ran down the stairs together. Mark was reading in th* library. He jumped up as they came In. and his face lighted. Lucy was taking st>>ck. too. It took a hie man. she ''toghr, to CUTS BAKING COSTS 3WAYS Calumet is one of ihc world's largest- .selling baking powders btcau<t it gives such /wf results, due to its double action.

L2| i OOVBL&ACTWG create magnificence, and then live so simply in the midst of It all. It had come to him through three generations, and the novelty had been gone a long time. The First Dinner Lucy always remembered that first dinner at Wide Acres; the In- formal formality with which It moved; the perfection of Its ser- vice. As they chatted over their coffee in the library afterward, she begun to wonder almost fearfully If she had stumbled on a sort of do- mestic fourth dimension, where dis- cord was taboo. She was laughing over some non- sense of Mark's when the curtains parted and Elise came in. She moved in her fluttering skirts with a curious swinging motion. Lucy thought at once of something float- ing in on the tide. "Darling!" cried Elise. But her look was for Mark. Her voice was rich with emotion. "I Just ran In on the chance you'd come back. If you knew how I've missed you!" Lucy stretched back In a corner of her big chair, and watched. It was almost like seeing a curtain go up. Mark and Valerie had boil got to their feet. Elise caught Mark by both hands, and then released one to throw a lavish arm around Valeria. There was something almost do- mestic in the posing of the three, if you didn't look too closely at their faces. The light that smolder- ed behind Ellse's large, rathur dull brown eyes was anything but peaceful. And Valerie and Mark re- minded Lucy curiously of wUd things held against their wills. Bit of a Shock Elise turned suddenly and caugnt her first glimpse of Lucy. She stared and froze. Her hand dropped from Valerie, but her hold on Mark tightened. "Oh " she said. "Oh " echoed Mark easily. "You haven't met Miss Tredway, have you? She's heaven's gift to the un- learned. Valerie's new tutor, in other words. Between whiles, she's going to k>ep us al! in order. Isn't it luck?" "It's quite charming." said Elise. "How do you do?" She sal: down suddenly. She ignored Lucy completely af- ter that. She chattered enill -ssly about her own affairs, and asked questions about tlie trip when she remembered, seldom waiting for an answer. Almost as if she were afraid to "aur . while she maile the new adjustment to Lucy's arrival. OhlUiTii came n. and poured coffee for her. and went away. "There's a clever one." he told Mrs. Ban wood later. "Too clever, if you ask me. Had a bit -f a shock, and put on the brakes before anybody could t?ll the difference. I was watching her eyes. Doesn't relish another woman coining In and upsetting her pi-ins. Not that she'll g'-t much change out of Miss Lucy." "I don't relish it myself." saiil Mrs. Banwcotl. 'Perhaps you'd rather have Mrs. Waterford under foot." sugg.-stpil Chiltern. Mrs. Banwood ignored this. She sat down to her own coffee, and looked at hi^ over the brim of her cup. i ' e i}X"- otlliug tn me wll into (Re house to teach MlsaftVrU." she offered. Clnrrern passed his. ciip a second fifiV^r-.N'o" mote It should be. with situations what they are at pres- ent." -lie reminded her. He never found it very hard to k?p Mrs. I!:uiwood in her place. Not Crowded Out Elise was almost ready to leave before she apparently realized Lucy. She turned the velvet of her eyes on the girl, and spoke with gentle enthusiasm. "My dear we've all forgotten you " she said. "But I'm sure you'll understand. We three had so much time to make up " "I haven't forgotten Lucy." said Valerie suddenly. It .as the first time she hail spoken since Ellas came In. She got up now and tuck- ed her slim young body Into the vacant space in Lucy's big chair. "Oh, but darling " cried Ellse maternally, "aren't you crowding Miss Treadle terribly?" Lucy smiled with equal amiabil- ity on Elise and Valerie. "She Isn't ciowdiug me at all, thanks. The name- Is Treadway," she said. "I'm so wretched at names." said Ellse plaintively. "I shall probably call you all sorts of queer things. It may take me month* to gat y tratght. I expect you'll be tired ot us long before that, and have flown away." Valerie clasped Lucy'* hand In Hidden panic. "Lucy's going to stay forever!" she cried. "Oh," said Elise. M;u-k looked across at Lucy, sit- ting with Valerie beside her. There was a suggestion of tenseness in the way they both looked back at him. As if in some mysterious way they sought him for protection. He f-jlt a sudden rush of tenderness for tiiem. sitting so young and so de- fenseless under his roof. "Our contact with Miss Tread- way came through old friends ot her father's," he explained. "Judge Brown, of Allington, and others " He suggested somehow that sha could take the information or leave. Pork Order For Britain Canada to Send 600 Million Pounds Within One Year Canada has agreed to provide Britain with 600,000,000 pounds ot bacon under a new contract Just signed. The new contract, at a higner price than has been paid since the start of tue war, goes into effect aa soon as the last of the 425,000,- 000-pound order placed last Novem- ber is shipped. This will probably be early in October. The unprecedented size ot tne order, an Increase of about 42 per cent, will necessitate an increase In hog breeding in Canada In ex- cess ot anything yet attempted. The first British bacon order was for 330.000,000 pounds, and there were doubts wtietlier it could be filled. Last fall this was jumped to 425,000,000 pounds, and early in tlie summer this was further increased by the request that the contract be filled six weeks ahead ot schedule. It was this unexpected request that forced reduction In do- mestic pork consumption. Whether the new 600,000,000- pound order can be filled without continuing seasonal reductions in domestic consumption is still a question. There will be no shortage in the fall or winter months, but next summer the same call to lay otf the bacon may have to be is- sued. There Is one reassuring factor la the feed situation and that is the stocks ot wheat cramming Can- adian elevators. Mora hogs will be raised on wheat this year than ever before. Service At Sea On one side of the broad quarter- deck of H.M.S. Prince of Wales stood rigid ranks of sea-hardened boys from the United States. On the other side were sea-hardened boys from Great Britain. Between their ranks sat President Roose- velt and Prime Minister Churchill. The commander read a Church of England service and intoned a special prayer. As he closed his pny.'rbook a hundred throats swelled in a refrain sung by sea- faring men from Brisbane to Bang- or since any one of them could remember, Oil he?.!- us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea. "Bless me!" a British naval of- ficer whispered to his American companion. "Yes." the other nod- de.l. "blood really is thicker than water." Canada Produces Anti-Aircraft Gun Assembly of the first anti-air- craft gun to be manufactured in Canada was completed at the plant of the Otis Fenson Elevator Company on August 21. Most of the 1,600 parts of the fast-firing Bofors gun were made in Ontario plants and by Septem- ber all guns succeeding: the initial unit will be entirely of Canadian manufacture . The plant where the gun was assembled was completed in Jan- uary this year. Rabbits Useful The U.S. Department of Agri- eultui'e is using loivg-etred jack- rabbits in Nevada as "grass test- ers." The rabbits are turned loose and those areas of gvass where they prefer to feed are selected as the best grazing grounds for cattle and for fur- ther development for that pur- pose. Build Destroyers With Britain's Aid Navy Minister Angus Macdoti- ald of Canada is seeking the re- lease of a number of British tech- nicians to aid the Canadian de- stroyer building program. The visiting Canadian JJinistej told a press conference in London that "we propose building de- stroyers in Canada, but will need some assistance from this coun- try in the matter of skilled super- visors."

This season, now- ever, a leadiivg designer uses it quite a few times in most effective fashion. lu one instance she poses a short sleeved shirt frock over a ong sleeved striped bouse with the collar worn outside an iuea that should appeal to stylists who might advocate that blouses be worn in this fashion under contrasting shirt frocks. In another case she sees a short sleeved basque bodjce over a long sleeved bishop blouse in con- trast and for a third favors the pinafore dress with low neckline and three-quarter length loose sleeve over a contrast loug sleeve blouse. The latter two are In a grou.p of peasant styles for loung- ing or after-skiwear. Against Great Odds Air Commodore R. V.

H O I Bee Hive Syrup Development Not Curtailed There was gratification when the British Government announced that the war would not halt Its de- velopment and welfare plans In tie West Indies. The policy of devel- oping colonial resources In pite of pre-occupation with the war IB now being extended to the rest of the Empire. This decision an nounced recently by Lord Moyne. the secretary of state for the col onies. shows the Mother Country's confidence in her own ability to withstand and defeat the enemy. Britain is being helped, of course, by those same colonies, which are prepared to make yet greater sac rifices than they already have made In a great cause. But the Mother Country is insistent that their ed- ucation and healtti services shall not stand still, and that the level ipment of their economic resowees shall continue vigorously.

Halifax Meets Surprise Test Unscheduled Airplanes Over Halifax PProva Halifax De- fenses Ready Alert defenders of this fortres* city have had an unscheduled test of their efficiency in meeting at- tack from the air, it was revealed recently, and uave (>?- n found ready for the task. In the early morning darkness recently, two unidentified planes appeared over the city at a time when no Canadian aircraft should !iave been in the air there. Tliey could have been enemy machines, and the defence mechanism sprang into instant action a* though they were. Searchlights stabbed, through the skies; anti-aircraft gunners went to action stations at their weapons, and rockets were fired. Some vital establishments were blacked out. But the two planes were iden- tified quickly as Canadian. Later, it transpired they were off their course and arrived over the city without the authorities having been notified. Hundreds of mystified Huiigon- ians speculated all day over the cause of the alarm. The loud booming of the rockets fired for -i purpose which cannot be dis- closed resembled gunfire, and many believed some of the guns in the area may have been taking a pot shot at an enemy. It was the most realistic dis- play of the city's defences since the start of the war. Halifax has had many practice blackouts, and the spectacle of searchlights chas- ing planes through the night skies over the city is a common one. But these are all prearranged. This recent incident wa, nearer the real thing. For all the men at the searchlights and guns knew, the visitors were enemy fliers. Had that been the case, they would have received a swift and warm reception. A.s it was, though the guns were ready, no shots were actually fired.
