CHAPTER XI ''Well, while he was having his snort, the wife comes in. She stood there in the doorway, looking dag- gers at him. 'Going out, Steve:' she says, and he walks by her without a glance. She put her hand out, but he brushed her off." "She's kind of helpless where he is concerned, I guess." "Helpless! Vou got her docketed ali wrong. She just watched him go and gavo me a big icy stare. Then King, the major-domo, calls her to the phone and she goes out." "She had a phone call:" "Yep. .*\fter which' she banged heck out of the piano for another half hour." "She went out, you say:'' "Yes, she did. She wasn't gone long. About an hour. When she came home, she mersed around the ivories until hubby rolled in, about twelve o'clock. Then the place quieted down for the night." "Stephen came home late?" "Yes. He must have heard her going in, 'cause a door opened up- stairs. The piano stopped. He shouted something or other at her that 1 didn't get. Then a couple more doors slammed." "That the story:" • » » • ".All but mama. Tiure's an old die-hard. If there's anything rocks my boat, it's the old gals that won't give up the ship. She stoi^ped King in tht hall and a.>ked lor Stephen. She almost dropped wlien he told her sonny boy was doing the town. Then she yelled for Karen. U lien the butler reported that Karen had gone out too, she made a beeline for the upstairs. In about twenty minutes, she came down, called a cab anad made her exit." "When did she get home:'' "Just before Stevcy-boy. She came in, or floated in. would be more like it. She had just got the shock of her life. No act this time. I actually had to help her upstairs, though I'll bet she won't remember it." McCale nodded ihouciufully and they fell silent for a few minutes. The figment of his imagination wa« jumping about wildly. He was surer than ever that tragedy stalk- ed the Bigelows. Finally with a gestureâ€" half disdain, luilf despair â€" he launched into a description of the events witnessed by .\nn and himself at the .'\bbey. * * * When he had finished, he cocked n eyebrow, looking interrogativety •t his friend and employee. Rocky said at last slowly. "The thing that sticks out farthest, chief, at least, as 1 see it â€" '' "Is what:" "Is what Mr. Curt Xallaincourt, bridegroom-to-be, seems to be as busy as a bee, painting himself right into a corner. " At four-thirty that afternoon, Duke McCale stood before the fire- place in the upstairs drawing room of the Beacon street house. He was facing .\delaide Bigclow, who was huddled in the corner of a \ictor- ian sofa. There was something held back in her a studied remoteness. XfcCalc had been talking cjuietly, in a voice which surprised himself «t its own compassion. "You'll have to pardon me if I •ay you have beenâ€" shall I sayâ€" exfrcnicly British about this situa- tion. You have made a concession here, an appeasement tliere, until it is quite futile to take any action. You have called mc in months too lafe." "Mr. XfcCale," there was a light touch of hauteur in her lone in •pite of herself, ''you arc presuming too much. I called you in to look after tlie house during the week of "the wedding." "I'm sorry, but that is not the truth. Xever once have 1 believed you came to my office with that in mind. I knew you were in trouble even though you withheld your con- fidence. Even now you will not ad- mit it, even to yourself. I have gone on that premise from the first â€" that you wanted me to find out' things without even the rsponsibill- ty on your part of telling me what." She rose stiffly, without answer- ing, and crossed the room to the front window. "I wish to withdraw from the case. Miss Bigelow. There's noth- ing I can do for 5-ou." « * * "Oh, nol ' The words, half muf- fled in the heavy atmosphere mag- nified theniiclvcs in the vastness of the room. "It is nece.-sary for me, since you will not confide in me, to tell \-ou exactly what it is that is bothering you â€" what it is that you fear. You sec, I know. What is it?" Miss Bigclow turned and Mc- Cale saw into her mind (luite easily. "So many things are not as we want them to be, nor as we believ- ed them to be," she said. Her ej'es clouded. "What do you know?" "I know that a certain young man of undeniable physical attrac- tion is marrying thirty million dollars next week. I know that in your subconscious mind, you be- lieve him to be an adventurer. I know that you should have investi- gated him months ago â€" that you are also bothered by the fact that your entire family seems jealous of his marriage to your niece. Not jealous, mind, of liis perhaps having the benefits of a great fortune, but jealous in a more personal way, as if secretly they were all in love with him and wanted him for them- selves." "^'l.nl are >o â€" riglit,'' she faltered. Her eyes lit up in admiration. "How in the world â€" " "I am a tralr.eO observer. It is my job to see what otliers miss. Then, too, I have sources of infor- mation. "I know," he went on, his voice low and impatient now, "that you must have another reason, for sure- ly you are not caught in the trap this fellow sets for the unwary. .\re you afraid \ eronica will lavish too much of the Bigelow money on him, forgetting the others? You see, 1 have heard that she inherits the bulk of it upon her niariage." ''I will tell you," she said simply. "X'eronica's father, my brother," she began, motioning him to sit, "was a hard man, I suppose, but not unusual for his time, I think. He believed that women have no heads for business â€" cannot handle money. He was heir to my father's business and fortune of about twelve million dollars. With real estate and clever investing, he more than ikiubled that fortune. There was no male heir to whom he could leave it, you see." * * * "There was his adopted son, Stephen," McCale put in quickly. "Ves, she hesitated, "but not his own flesh and blood. But there was certainly Stephen. ".\t one time, 1 think he intended for Stephen to inherit. But Stephen, in his eyes at least, proved himself unworthy. Sybil always spoilej him. He grew up precocious, ex- travagant. He ran away once and joined the navy. .\ bitter experience for him. The more so when he found that Joel could no doubt have procured an appointment to .Vnnapolis for him. Marri.ige to Karen has straightened him out somewhat." "So the Fngclow fortune is held in trust?" ITO BG CO.NTINVKD) After a Hard Winterâ€" This!

Sunday School Lesson THE RISEN LORD John 20: 19-21, 24-29; 21: 15-17 Golden text. â€" .\s my fatlier hath sent me, even so send I ^â- ou. â€" John 20:21. The Resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth is the one great ray of light, hope, faith, and inspiration in what, without that fact, would be a ginoiny world. So if the grave is the end of it all, the joy and happiness are sl:ort- lived, and the glory, no matter how great, is tarnished. The greater the life and t!ie more splendid its achievement, the more startling its end. When news came to the world of the sudden dcatli of the late President Roosevelt, the shoc'tc to the nation was more than the passing of a foremost world fig- ure. Much of tlie shock was at the fact of death itselfâ€" that death could so suddenly end a career of such forccfulness. It is in the presence of death that we seek some evidence that can assuage its sadness and cre- ate some overpowering hope and confidence that can bring light into darkness and tragedy, .^nd there is no evidence in nature, life, or history, except the evidence of the Resurrection of Jesus. It is the one supreme fact. And what evidence have we of that Resurrection? The evidence of disciples whose lives, outlook, and actions were changed by the fact that they saw Him after His crucifixion. They were affected by His death just as we are all affected by the death of one we love. But bej-ond their sadness was the intensity of a great disappoint- ment and discouragement, the blast- ing of hopes that had been great enough to induce them to leave everything and follow a master about to establish a kingdom. Then suddenly their complete dcsi^air was transformed into a re- vival of faith. In that new-found faith their vain ambitions about who should be the first were left behind. The miracle of what happened to the disciples is the miracle of the Resurrection. .\nd faith in the Kiscn Lord has been the power and inspiration of those who have fol- lowed in their footsteps to bring to men < iod's gift of eternal life.

BULLETIN You Might Win Cash Prize For Public Speaking Where arc the future politi- cians of Canada? Right now, they are popping up as speakers â€" at the school concert, the Sunday School Easter program, the commun- ity charity affairs. They are learning to convince an audience by taking sides on debating teams, by being master of cere- monies on athletic night at the town rink. In fact, these arc the very springboards from which young Canadians will so shortly flip into the important business of steering the nation. That's how Kate -Aitken put it in announcing plans for the public speaking competitions to take place at tlie Canadian Na- tional Exhibition, Toronto, this Fall. There is a total of $200 in cash money a"nd bronze medals to be won by six young Cana- dians. Mrs. -Aitken explained that tliere would be three prizes of $30, $ao and S20 for both the elementary and secondary school students. "Canada's Place in the World" is the subject of the oratorial contests. Public school pupils will be allowed to speak for three minutes and secondary students, five minutes. Compe- titions will be held on the C.N. E. Grounds during t!ie day and winners presented before the public at the Band Shell at night. Students wishing more par- ticulars should write direct to Kate Aitken, Director of Wom- en's and Educational .Activities, Canadian National Exhibition Grounds, Toronto, it is pointed out. Mass Seeding Conducted by Plane Reforestation on a streamlined scale in 1946 saw Ontario Govern- ment experts harness the airplane in mass seeding experiments, R, N. Johnson, chief of the Lands and Forest Department's research divi- sion, said in Toronto' recently. Mr. Johnson said that one ex- periment, in which a pilot sprayed a co-acre plot with 300,000 tree seeds in 10 minutes, will be "elab- orated 'upon" this year. He said white pine, red pine and spruce involved in 1946 experiments should reach Chris.tmas-trce size within Ij years, and full growtli of 120 feet in 100 years "if the experi- ments were successful." Before planting the seeds are treated with rodent and fungus re- pellents and coated with fertilizer. "'They are given a better start "in life tlian the ordinary bush-born seedliii.c enjoys."
