THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., MAY 27th, 1937. Qreen tea at its best SAIADA GREEN TEA Love Huntress Bv H. GLYNN-WARD Claudia Townsend meets Dick Whalen at a hockey game in Seattle one night. Her interest in Dick infuriates Wallace Bornell, rich young lumberman, who wants to marry her. To get Dick out of the way, Wallace gives him a job in one of his lumber camps in British Columbia. At the camp, Dick accidentally discovers that Bornell's men are working stolen timber lands. He asks for an explanation, but Braddock, the boss, puts him off and next day leaves for Seattle. The following day, Claudia stops in at Bornell's office and, by chance, overhears Bornell and Braddock plotting to do away with Dick. Claudia goes to the camp at Burns Lake to warn Dick. At the camp, she learns from Ching, the Chinese cook, that Braddock, who has arrived first, has sent Dick off on a long trip, with a man, Moriarty, who hates him. Moriarty has instructions to "Come back alone!" CHAPTER X Bornell had taken the first train north after he received Braddock's radiogram from the boat telling him of Claudia's presence and guessing at her destination. Wallace did not underestimate Claudia Townsend's wits, and he was sure now that she had overheard his talk with Brad-Claudia stood breathing fast, staring at him increduously. "What are you doing here, Claudia?" His tone was fierce. "I--I don't know what right you have to inquire into my movements, Wallace!" she stammered. "I'll have a legal right before many days are out! -js*1^ you know what He crushed her to him, raining kisses over her face", kisses that sickened and frightened her. She leaned back weakly in his arms, and as she looked at him she could read his purpose in his eyes as clearly as though it were on a printed page. As his wife, her tongue would be tied! If she would not marry him of her own accord, he could force her to. . . . Never had Claudia's brain worked mora quickly. Here was another enemy, whose suspicions must be allayed--or she was lost! She must play up to Wallace /or an hour or so, then find some means of escape, with Ching. With a weary little gesture Claudia passed her hand over her eyes, looked up at Wally with a tremulous smile. "Why, Wally! I didn't know you wanted me so much." His grip relaxed. "Claudia!" I've always told you bo! Will you marry me tonight?" She smiled. "Tonight? Hardly time for that--even at Burns Lake! Maybe tomorrow, if you insist, Wally! But--what will the family say? You see, I gave them the slip, coming up here! I was kind of peev- ed that Dick Whalen hadn't answered my telegram or anything. Oh, Wally, you don't know how a girl hats to be snubbed like that! But now--now you've come--" she whispered cleverly, drawing his face down to hers. "It's all suddenly clear to me. It isn't Dick I love--" Wallace again drew her close. "Wally dear, I'm so tired and cold, after that drive across the lake. Don't you think that we could have a cup of tea--just you and I in here, without that Braddock? Tell him to ask the Chinese cook to bring it--and then you'll take me back to Burns Lake, won't you?" Claudia had completely fooled him. The danger, he thought would be past tomorrow, when she was his wife! He went out and called to Braddock about the tea. Claudia looked about her desperately. The shack had two rooms, Braddock's sleeping quarters and the office. In the office, the stove was roaring; papers and maps were everywhere. Her eye fell on a little hand-lamp on a shelf. She put it on the table and lit it. It was now quite Bornell came in as she was doing this, and in a few minutes Ching came with a tray, set it down and moved softly out again. "Oh, wait--I must tip him, he's been so good--" She brushed past Bornell and ran to the door, calling Ching. "Ten minutes--maybe!" she whispered hurriedly. "I wait behind cook-house, you come there," he replied. Then he sh^jie4_aj»«.yJ__^^_.-^ _ Claudia began to pour the tea. "I can't believe this is true," Wallace said happily. "It is, Wally," she said softly. "Oh, that old Chinese has forgotten to bring lemon. I simply can't drink this canned stuff! Be an angel, Wally, run over and ask for a lemon, will you?" He went like a Iamb. With trembling fingers Claudia unscrewed the top of the lamp, and poured the coil oil onto the floor round the wood-box, which she overturned. Hastily crumbling up a newspaper, she shoved it in beside the box. Then a match-- and there was there!" he shouted over his shoulder to Claudia. She ran straight to the cook-house --found Ching waiting for her, a little huddled figure in mackinaw and felt, on snow-shoes. They were alone. Every available man within hearing had run to the fire, and they could hear the roar of the flames as they licked up the office. To buckle on her skis and take up her poles was the work of a moment. "Hully now! Follow me, missee!" They slid forward easily over the snow, round the back of the cookhouse, making a tour of the camp through trees, heading for the lake about a quarter of a mile on the other side of the hillock. Then they were on the lake itself, swallowed up in the darkness. No one had seen them go, everyone was busy with the fire. They had an excellent start. "Are you sure this is where thetA went?" Claudia asked, breaking tlV silence with a gasp, still trembling with excitement. "Velly sure, see--" he took out flashlight and lit up the wards away--"see they make soine tracks!" ~~ She saw unmistakable snow-shoe tracks. What a wonder that Ching carried a flashlight! They went on, faster and faster, gliding swiftly forward as if oh winged feet; Ching kept ahead with an eye on the long line of tracks across the virgin snow. It was sharply cold, more than 20 below, but Claudia felt nothing but the heat of her recent terror. (To be Continued.) Woman's World By Ma':r M. Morgan or your Concerning Rhubarb Pie To know that the dessert which is so thoroughly enjoyed by grown-up members of a family is, at the same time, a healthful and nourishing dessert for the youngsters is one of the greatest of all satisfactions to the homemaker. This is particularly true of rhubarb, either as plain stewed fruit with cake or in a pie. There 'is something so tangy and springlike in the taste of rhubarb that no family would want to miss it when it is in season. It seems to symbolize the good fresh fruits and vegetables which are to follow all summer long. It's almost like a tonic and indeed does contain healthful minerals among them iron, which we need in our diet. The colour of the early rhubarb is particularly pleasing and the fact that its more tender and tasty at the start of the season makes this ui good time to serve rhubarb pie. The trouble most cooks encounter with rhubarb pie, as with most fruit pies, is that tendency it has to run all over the place. This, of course, is not necessary and the simple trick of us- Restore Chair's Radiance Easily With Laura Wheeler Crochet ing quick-cooking tapioca as a binder in all fruit pies is the answer to that problem. Try if for yourself by making this pie and solve the difficulty of watery pies once and for all. Rhubarb Pie 3% cups prepared fruit; 2% tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca; 1 to IVi cups sugar; % teaspoon; 1 tablespoon melted butter. Combine ingredients and let stand 15 minutes, or while pastry is being made. Use as filling for the 9-inch pie. Bake in hot oven (450 degrees F.) then decrease heat to moderate a: (350 degrees F.) and bake 20 to 30 minutes; then decrease heat to moderate (350 degrees F.) and bake 20 to 10 minutes longer, or until fruit filling is cooked and crust is delicately browned. (This recipe can be used for plum, grape, strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, blueberry, huckleberry or cherry pie. Pie Crust (Plain Pastry) 2% cups sifted cake flour; 2-3 cup cold shortening; y2 teaspoon salt, 1-3 cup cold water (about). Sift flour once, measure, add salt and sift again. Cut in shortening till pieces are about size of small pea; add water sprinkling small amount over flour mixture and mixing with fork only enough to make flour hold together. Continue until all the flour has been mixed on separate portions. Wrap in waxed pastry. Chill thoroughly. Roll out on slightly floured board using light springy touch. "Spring Fever" Soups About this time of the year many of us find ourselves languid and tired. Nothing dangerous! Just Motht.-Nature complaining because we are continuing with our heavy winter eating with Spring already here. She gives us a touch of "Spring Fever" as punishment. Lighter foods are needed, but we must still have nourishments. How about some rich, light soups? Serve a large bowl, a light salad, a light dessert -- and forget the heavy meat that night. Here are two excellent recipes. Lima Puree 2 cups cooked, dried Limas; 4 cups hot water; 1 tablespoon grated onion or onion juice; 1 tablespoon butter; 2 tablespoons flour; 1-8 teaspoon pep-teaspoon salt. Claudia put on her hat and coat, ;r haversack, and waited till she saw the flames licking up the side of the wall, eating into the floor-then she opened the door. "Fire! Fire! Oh, Wally--" she screamed as she saw him running towards her from the cook-house. "I upset the lamp--oh, I'm so frightened!" The office--with all its valuable papers and records, on fire! Bornell gave a shout and started running towards it. !o into the cook-house and wait PATTERN M85 Which chair seems to be th$ favorite?

North Ontario Is Not Worried Alarmists appear to have been able to thinly spread a fear that the price of gold is due for a drop that seriously affect Canadian mines, the majority of which are located Northern Ontario declares the North Bay Nugget. As yet no government vitally concerned in the movement of the price of gold has in any manner indicated that there is a need for or a probability of the invaluable yellow mineral working to a lower level. The only SIGNS OF THE TIMES talk of the kind had been by way of "expressions of opinions" by members of the United States Congress whose views are seldom heeded and never well founded. Joseph Errington, president of the Little Long Lac Gold Mines, Limited, recently returned after an extei tour of the British Isles and South Africa, staged that he failed to any indication of a fluctuation of the gold price in any business dealing in »had with persons interested in raw gold in the countries he visited. With Great Britan and the United States sharing a corner on the gold of the world, there isn't any likelihood of any drastic action being taken suddenly. As Mr. Errington said, a drop In the price of gold would not profit any country or individual while a sudden recession would prove ruinous to industry generally. This talk appears to be calamity howling from no place and for no real good reason. Gold producing companies are spending unsparingly in increasing production at old properties to the maximum point and in seeking out new rrold fields. AH Northern Ontario is alive with gold mine operators and prospectors and certainly there's not the slightest evidence of a fear of gold price sag. Gold mining is undoubtedly established on a high plane that will be maintained by the constant gain in industrial activity and the determination of Great Britain and the United States to remain well in control of this basis of exchange.

Recent reductions in rates for farmers'telephones have induced many farmers to restore the telephones discontinued in depression years and many new rural subscribers are being added to the telephone community. Recovery Facts During the depression, economists statisticians and observers generally enthused, almost despairingly, over even the faintest signs of improvement and for a long time were more or less in the plight of a small boy whistling in the dark to keep up his courage, observes the Brantford Expositor. Instead of being a case of crying "Wolf! Wolf!" it was one of giving assurances, founded on hope rather than evidence, that the world would soon have "turned the corner." Now it is possible to state that the corner has been turned, in fact, not fancy, and the assertion is supported by impressive evidence In cold figures supplied by the Canadian Business Research Bureau. Statistics show, for instance, that in 1936 there was an appreciable view, wn drawing of the lights reads, "Danger ous to cross." With red and amber together, the print reads, "Caution, wait for green." When green appears, the child is told, "Safe to cross now," and with the return of the amber, "Caution, do not move." Copies are available for all, free of charge on application to the Save the Children Fund. Copies are being distributed .to schools throughout the country, and the Ford Motor Company has made arrangements for their agents to distribute further copies of the models. DEEP DRAUGHT STEADY sums produce nearly j ;,C J0,000 bushels of grain a year and support 178,-000,000 head of edible live stock, not to mention poultry, fruit and dairy products, going hungry in thirty-five years' time sails for a lot of imagination. But, fanciful as it may seem to the man in the street, it is nothing less real than the possible consequences of soil erosion in the United States. -- Toronto Globe and Mail.
