The sooner we forget this incid- ent, the better." "I'm sorry, Joe," Ted said, thrusting out his hand. "1 must FINE CUT Operated by Pat Burton, twice winner of the North American and Canadian Calf Roping Championships at the Calgary Stampede, the Burton Ranch in Southern Alberta was estab- lished in 1890 by F. A. Burton. RAND OF THE BURTON RANCH 1IL ISSUE 34 '42 ROMANCE have been imagining too many things. I should have trusted you." "Can you ever forgive ME?" Mary asked. "I was going to shoot you !" "Forget it, all of you!" Benton laughed. "I'm glad Kay trusted me. . . . And she should have been the one to be worried." "Perhaps you'd better explain everything, Benton," Flynn sug- gested. "Taylor said it would be all right to tell them." "There really isn't much to tell," Joe began. "I ain a pro- fessor of chemistry at the uni- versity, as I told you. But there were a few things I kept to my- self. ' "You see, we've all been work- ing on explosives since this trou- ble in Europe began. Quietly working, but getting the job done. And a lot of investigating has been going gn. All patents on explosives are thoroughly check- ed. Anything that even resembles an explosive has been dug out of files and tested. "That's how we got next to Wondrosoap. Your father pat- ented his discovery about 15 years ago, Kay. It was a simple formula, and at that time the of- fice didn't give it much attention. Perhaps they didn't realize its possibilities. Anyway, it was over- looked. "Well, when the war started, chemists all over the country were summoned to test these various formulas. Most of them were pretty haywire schemes; a few were good. I got Tim Donovan's formula. The thing I couldn't find was his catalytic agent. "I checked in on Tim Donovan, discovered that he had built this factory here, 'then died suddenly. Then you made things easy by putting Wondrosoap on the mar- ket "So you came down and ap- plied for the job as chemist . . ." Flynn put in. "And got it," Benton went on. "When I discovered that Won- drosoap was a real find as a super- explosive, I reported to the FBI. I told them about Hans Stadt and all of you. I got a commission as a special agent to guard the secret. I would have kept you from selling it outside the United States, Kay. "But Hans Stadt is loyal as any native American. He was ap- proached. His brother was threat- ened. And Hans sent his brother to a concentration camp rather than tell what he knew about Wondrosoap. "I had spy jitters, too. But I picked Mary as the agent. When she drilled that can due centre, I knew there was going to be trou- ble. Thanks for not shooting me, Mary. We're even now. I was going to send you to jail." "I feel like a fool," Ted grum- bled. Kay's hand found his. "Don't, Ted. You did exactly right. You knew how valuable Wondrosoap \ and you were trying to protect *t for me." Benton nodded. "You were right on your toes, Ted. There was no way of your knowing 1 was working with the FBI. Even Taylor, the district chief, didn't know. A few officials In Wash- ington and the head of the che- research, perhaps, but no "That 1 * aB of that," Flyna or- dered. "It's vacation plans from now on. Army ordnance officers will start Wondrosoap tests to- morrow. With Tim's piano for a time bomb, and Hans Stadt to work them out, w should be making shells here as soon as the plant can be enlargeo." * * Ted and Kay walked through the factory for the last time. "It all belongs to the government now," Kay said, a little sadly. "But you're making money, honey," Ted reminded her. "It was fine of you to offer the plant for practically nothing, but I'm glad Flynn made arrangements to lease it for duration of the emer- gency. You're guaranteed a steady, comfortable income. You can get along on $20,000 a year. The government couldn't build an outfit like this for 10 times that price. Afterwards, you can go on making explosives for peace- time uses, blasting tree stumps, building roads " "Don't forget you have a quar- ter interest," Kay said. "I'm salting that away In bonds for a nest egg. So I won't have to go back to selling card tables." He paused in front of a door In the warehouse. The doorknob gleamed in the semi-darkness. "Remember the day we tried Wondrosoap as a cleaner?" "I can't forget it, Ted." "Then we were business part- ners?' "That's over, too." "It's not 'strictly business' any more, then?" "We're going on a vacation, Ted," Kay reminded him. His arms reached out for her, but she slipped away, laughing. "Joe and Mary are waiting." She ran from the warehouse. Ted glanced at the doorknob. A dime fitted into the slot of the screw. In a moment it was off the door, in his pocket. He hur- ried after Kay. * The two weeks' vacation was all too short. Flynn spent most of his time fishing, but the others Joe and Mary, Ted and Kay- found time for canoe trips up the river, daily swimming parties on the lake, and long moonlight rides on the launch that they rented with the cottage. Lake Olivera was everything they had hoped it might be. Ted would have enjoyed it more had he been able to sum- mon courage enough to ask Kay to marry him. Daily he planned what he would say, imagined how Kay would answer. But the super-salesman had encountered his toughest selling job. He. couldn't sell himself. Kay's money was his principal worry. When she was poor, job- less, almost friendless, he had been sure that she. loved him. Now, with money pouring in, would she want to sacrifice those luxuries she could afford to be the wife of a salesman? He got his answer the last night of the vacation, but not as he had expected it. * * * Kay was standing at the end of the dock, loving the moon- light, the quiet lap of the water against the boats, when Joe Ben- ton came to her. "I've been wanting to talk to you alone, Kay," Joe said. "This is good by, you know. Mary and I are taking the morning train, back to school." "Mary and you?" "Yes. Mary decided that po- licewoman's job is to risky. She came mighty near shooting her future husband." "You and Mary! Oh, Joe, I'm so glad." "We thought you would be. You're the first to know. There's something else, too, Kay, I want you to know. We think you're Canada To Have Parachute Troops Canada's first paratroops will take their training at Fort Ben- ning, Ga., until training facilities have been established in the Do- minion, it was learned last week. Defence Minister Ralston told the House of Commons that a battalion of paratroops had been authorized and that instructors were leaving for the United States to get "immediate instruc- tion" on paratroop training there. It was the Fort Benning camp to which he referred, spokesmen aid. They expressed belief a considerable body of troops would go there in the immediate future. The training of paratroops takes a considerable establish- ment. One of the most expen- sive and intricate part of the set- up is the high jumping tower where men make their first des- cents machine-controlled to pre- vent accidents while they are learning the ropes.

Impulsively, she raised on tip- toe, kissed him. Then, tucking her arm in his, Kay hurried him to the house. "Come on, I have to see Mary, and hear more about this." Down in the shadows along the beach, Ted Andrews saw that kiss, although he heard none of the conversation. He pulled a shining doorknob from his pocket, threw it far out into the lake.

Curb Placed On Aids To Beauty War-Time Prices and Trade Board Cute Out Frills Feminine glamor ami a tighten- ing war economy squared off for the inevitable showdown 1 a 8 1 week. Iltekiug the fury of a "womau scorned," the Wartime Prices and Trade Board decreed heartlessly that: Nail polish shades will be re- duced from as many as 23 to six. Ladies will have to get along on four instead of 16 lipstick shades, including refille. Rouges and face powders will come in only four shades. Perfumes, cologne*, toilet waU ere, talcum powders and bath dusting powders will be limited to four odors brands If you think that's more genteel per manu- facturer. Hand and face lotions, hair dressings, oils anil tonics will ba restricted to three types. And that's not all. The new order also prohibits niaiituactur- ers from distributing miniature or sample sizes or replacing new cosmetics on the mai ket without permission. There's one consolation fur flap- per Fanny and Dowager Dora- no effort will be made to stand- ardize varieties. For instance, the Board says, 10 producers of lace powders could sell a total 01 40 different shades between them if each were restricted to four. Bu cutting down on the frills, the Board hopes to help keep the price ceiling in place. These new sacrifices, it predict*, will pare costs, Inventories and waste, re- duce demand for fani-y glass bot- tlee and lower consumption of metal for containers).
