I keep It because I re- member him pleasantly, because I bad Bome lovely hours with him, because he seemed â€" " "I'm sorry, sweet. Forgive me. He is a marvelous fellow. Mike. Anyone who ever linew him will tell you that. He was always a romantic figureâ€" remote, doing fascinating things such as climb- ing glaciers in Alaslta, exploring the regions of the Congo and dig- ging in Mayan ruins. And he could cLr.nn the birds out of the tree. What a fine John Alden I have turned out to be! John was a fel- low^, Meridel. who pleaded for an- other man, while he himself really loved the girl he was trying to win - tor the other. I'm not going to give Mike any more of a build-up. I've praised him too highly now. From now on, I shall tell you what a wonderful fellow Is Roger Fabre, what the king said to him, how Mr. Churchill, looking at a few hundred of the A\t Force boys one day said, 'And who is that tall dark fellow there? Can that be this Fabre I've heard so much about, the man at the mere men- tion of whose name Marshal Goer- Ing says, 'Groundt der Luftwaffe at Tonce!' And, believe It or not, . It really was Roger." * * * "Ah, you are fine, Roger. You can Jaugh always and have fun. Deep Inside, though, you do not laugh so much, eh?" "I try not to look too deep in- side, Meridel. It's no good. And Tight now especially. After this Is over, after we can think quietly for a while and no longer hear the thunder of the guns and the roar of flames â€" why, then, per- haps, we' can look into our hearts and raise them up to God. Right now. It's laugh while you can. be merry while there's gayety about. Would you like to go somewhere and dance with me?" "Dance? It is so long since 1 have danced that 1 shouldn't know how to go about it. And you are fatigned. You must be so weary." "But I'm not. I snacth a wink here, a wink there. I can't be tired when I am with you." "I think it is better that we stay here, and you will rest. If you like I shall sing to you." "A lullaby, no doubt. You want to put me to sleep to get rid of me." She laughed. "I wouldn't leave ycu, even if you slept." And she crooned in French. "Sleep, sleep. My little one. sleep. The day has gone and the night Is here: Sleep, oh sleep. My little one sleep. While the angels hover near." You Will Enjoy Suying At The ST.

Slowly his dark head came to her shoulder and rested there. .Meri- del did not move â€" not until almost an hour had passed. He stirred looking at her in utter confusion. "I dreamed of angels," he said. "And this is one dream that car- ries on Into waking. Why ever did you let me go to sleep. Meri- del?" "So that 1 might see what you looked like In repose." "1 must have looked horrible." He rubbed his short hair. "I feel fine now." "You looked like a tir?d little boy â€" like Pol Martin and Emil aft- er they have played so long in the snow that they drop off before they can get into bed. And that is where you must go now." "My first night home," mutter- ed Roger, "and I fall asleep! WTiy, I planned that It would be all mirth and flowers and music! You and 1 were to dance till dawn. You were never to leave my arms; in- stead â€" " "1 held you in my arms while you slept." "Which is why 1 dreamed so pleasantly. Ah, well, there will be other nights. I shall be here for a while. .\nd you are coming back to Philibert with us?" "Yes. Madame Fabre has asked us all." Roger, aided by a lawyer who had been his classmate at .McGill, was trying to brint some seml> lance of order out of the chaos left by that lord of misrule, Gab- riel Follet. "We shall make some fair arrangement, madame." he told his aunt. "It will be all right. But you will be a working girl, mind â€" directress of all theje little refugees you have taken in."- "That will be no work. And Meridel has promised now to stay here and help me. and Rudolph will come too." Late that evening. Madame raised the delicate, thin-stemmed glass and watched the ruby fires in the depths of the wine, the warm heart's blood of the Bur- gundy grapes. "There is one more toast." she said slowly. ".\nd tonight, some- how. I do not hesitate to propose it. You know what it Is. Roger â€" you* all know â€" let us drink to Michel." « * « Suddenly, as it a hand invisible had dashed the glass from her lips, the fragile bit of crystal tlie old lady held was shattered on the hearthstone at her feet and the wine spread like blood. Her hand stayed halted near her lips. The others were on their feet, staring at the two men In sheepskin jack- ets who stood In the wide door- way., at the dark menace of the automatic the short one held, at the grim, red-stubbed visage of the tall one who surveyed them with blue eyes cold as the ice of the river. * "Be quiet, all of you.'' said he. And the voice was the voice of Michel Fabre â€" but how altered, how harsh, how hateful!" â€" We are sorry to spoil this occasion, but our lives are important to us. We escaped from your prison camp back In the woods. Y'ou will re- member me as Oberlieutenant Fa- ber. My companion is Manfred Kehl. What we want from you, my friends, is the key of the sta- tion wagon parked in front of the house. You will have them, broth- er." He looked at Roger, his face expressionless. "Bring them here." "The laughing soldier who kill- ed Bonhomme Fricot." said Ma- dame softly. "And 1 thought It was some wild story the children had made up." * • « Michel started. His eyes stray- ed from Roger to the scornful face of his aunt "We have no time for talk. The keys, please; and at once. We cut your telephone wire* and have fixed the other car so It will not go. Ah â€" " he had Keen Roger reach for a bronze book-end a* he passed behind a chair and in one leap he was on blm. Hit Out shot out and cracked cruelly against h i s brother's mouth, bloodying it, sending Roger crash- ing to the floor. (To Be Continued) li'^i'.LJVwUU js mm^ Heated "Sandwich" United Kingdom scientists have Invented two novel devices which will rai.se the safety and comfort standards of Britain's civil air lin- ers to new high levels. The first of these inventions â€" which will be applied to high altitude flyingâ€" is a heated "sandwich", which over- comes the menace of ice and mist formation on the windscreen at great heights. It consists of a very light device by which warmed air U pumped between the double lay- ers of glazing forming the press- mre-resisting surface of the coupe. One important advantage of this device is that even at temperatures as low as â€" 78 degrees F, the cork- pit is so warm that special cioth- lag can be dispensed with. The second invention is an in- genious robot valve which auto- matically regulates the cabin air pressure in correct proportion, â- without attention from the pilot. Both these advices have been in- corporated in Britain's latest stra- tosphere single-seater fighter the Westland-Welkin. The Welkin, irhlch has been specially desi.sn- ed to combat the menace of high flying Japanese raiders. Is the largest s'ngle-seater fighter ever built The experience gained in op- eration of the Welkin is expected to lead to still further develop- ments in stratosphere flying and these two will be applied to Bri- tain's civil air liners.

It Coaxes The Best Out of Any Pipe CHRONICLES of GINGER FARM By Gwendoline P Clarke Another week jfore a::d with it a sense of satisfaction fcr work accomplipneu We have fmished I'aying. The wheat is fui and stocked. It doesn't take long to tell it â€" it would take longer to de- scribe our joy at seeing th< barn well stocked with hay and the wheat m stocks. You people on farms know what an anxious few weeks wc put in from the day the grain starts heading out to the time it is ready to cut. Every time it thunders or the sky looks over- cast there comes that dread that a bad storm may blow up to flatten the crops, making them difficult or even impossible to cut. » • > Cutting the wheat was quite an interesting event at Ginger Farm this year. Vou see we did some- thing that hadn't been done on this farm before. We had the binder hitched to the tractor and cut the wheat down that way. Of course that was son Bob's little do. He fixed up the binder, made a short tongue for it, and was soon away, with young John bouncing up and down on the seat of the binder, where he was supposedly watcliing for anything that might go wrong with operations. The wheat was very heavy and there were plenty of stops but the only breakage was a slat on the reel, so we thought we were pretty lucky on the whole. Partner of course, was also out in the field, stocking a bit and lending a hand whenever the sheaves bunged up and gave trou- ble. Out of curiosity I went around the field once on the tractor. Once was enough. It wasn't any joy ride. I Plight also add that the wheat wasn't cut without me get- ting my own particular job handed out to me. Patching binder can- vas! Oh-oh. It is things like that that make nie wonder w hy I ever married a farmer. Binder canvas and grain bags. To mend either is a guarantee that I will be in a bad him'.oui â€" at least as long as the job lasts. * « *• However it is all over now . . . t';;e uheat i^ cv.t and we can take a breathing spcU. Not to do no- thing, of course, but tc catch up with seme of the odd jobs that haying and harvesting have pushed tc one side. But wouldn't it be nice to take a holiday? Just imagine having a notice in the paper â€" "Ginger Farm will be closed for one week â€" from .â- \ugust 1 to August 8." If only the cows could milk themselves and the chickens hunt their own feed and find their own water. .\nd the eggs â€" what would happen to the eggs in the hen-pen if there was no one around to pick them up several times a day. 'Yes, it is possible to shut up a store, a factory or an office but a farm â€" never. .At least not a farm with livestock en it depe'nd- ing on the owners for daily care. • « « Bui I was talking about odd jobs . . . one of them is experimenting with DDT Insecticide. 1 can tell you we didn't waste any time in ordering a supply once we knew it was on !he market for we are sick tc death of association with flies. We sureiy hope DDT will live up to its wonderful reputation. .As far a< I can see its one disadvantage is in its puisonou? quality which makes it unsafe for household use. However there is one safe way of using it around the house. It can be sprayed around the outside of the window frames, being careful to shut the windows first and to wear gloves for the job. It cer- tainly discourages flies from mak- ing a rendezvous of your windows and from them eventually gaining access tJ your rocms. fly screens notwithstanding. Of course we really bought it for barn use but Partner has not yet had a chance to tr\- it out. WITH i\L\STERLY SKILL . . . Maxwell House Coffee is blended from rare extra-flavor coffees.
