THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, ONT., JUNE 3rd, 1937. Tea for every Taste "SALADA 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 XI ' What a strange white world this was, Claudia thought, nothing alive now but she--and a Chinese cook! It was a primitive world--passions unrestrained, murder, revenge, love. Mankind back again in the primeval elements. "I t'ink you one velly clever woman, missee!" said Ching presently, turning with a chuckle. She noticed the band of ice on his muffler where his breath had frozen, put up her hand to feel the tendrils of hair under her cap all stiff with ice. "You think they will come after us?" she asked anxiously. "Maybe--maybe not. Not savvee . where we go. No one t'ink ole Ching go with Missee! All busy with It took about half an hour to « the lake at the speed they were up the bank. T7^*et'£~rf-ine^wWds again, threading their way through thin timber where the going was not bad but necessarily slower. Again Ching flashed his light, showed her the tracks, winding in among the "I go ahead," he told her. "You follow." She left it to him, following his little figure in and out among the trees. Dead silence all around them, no sound but the swishing of the snow under skis and snowshoes. . . . Would they be in time, she asked, with every heart-beat. What might be happening on ahead somewhere! The thought spurred her on, made her forget the cold, the distance they had come without a halt. Fortunately Claudia was in excellent athletic trim, otherwise she could not have kept pace with the tireless little figure in front of her. Ching Lo went like an automaton, holding the flashlight pointed at the snow in front of him. She wondered that his hand did not stiffen, even in his woolly mittens^ because her own fingers were beginning to feel numb from holding her ski-poles. She stumbled more than once, driving her ski point into a stump, sometimes just saving herself from a fall. Always Ching turned to help her. At last she spoke, begging for a minute's rest. "Better you keep moving, missee, fleeze now if sit for rest!" He was right, she knew. He slackened speed, and she moved after him, feeling the bitterness of the cold at once with the slower pace. They had gone now all of six miles from the camp. And still the tracks led All at once Ching Lo stopped dead. He held up his hand. "Listen!" he said in a whisper. From far off came a faint tap-tap . . . tap-tap. . . . "Axe!" he whispered. "Quick He was off again like a gliding shadow among the trees, guided only by the direction of the sound. Claudia followed as best she could, her breath coming quickly in her excitement and effort to keep up with Ching. She felt that he had guessed something definite from that regular tap-tap that sounded monotonously What had Ching Lo sensed? What was going on in the mind of that little shadow weaving his way through the trees? There were only two men in the woods here at this time -- which of them was cutting a tree down? And what of the other? Almost sobbing with anxiety Claudia threaded her way after Ching Lo. The tapping continued, nearer, louder. They must be almost upon The Chinese turned, whipped off his mitten and iaid his finger across his lips. Claudia nodded. He had silenced her at the very moment when she wanted to scream out! Ching Lo had assumed naturally the position of leader. Claudia gave him her full trust. He had quickened his pace; Claudia knew somehow that he felt as she did--they must get there before that tapping stopped! Then through the trees she caught the red glow of a fire---her heart leaped, and she sped on towards that flickering light. Ching Lo had vanished, but she no longer looked for him. She wanted only to reach the ,<uB-?hft.Jr»d^IT-ElreTe Vasi'a "great" fallen log to be negotiated. As she came up to it, she saw the flickering fire in full view, saw by its light the figure of a man swinging an axe, chopping at a tree. That man was Dick--Dick Whalen! She stood there, weak with relief, and would have called out but that her breath was coming too quickly, and she felt the tears stinging her eyes. Also the Chinese had enjoined silence! Ching Lo, where was he? She looked round her among the dark trees--looked back at Dick swinging his axe. Then she saw a sight that froze her stiff with horror! Another figure, a man who came out of the shadows just behind Dick --a man with an axe raised with both arms above his head--behind Dick--crept slowly nearer--nearer. Claudia tried to scream a warning, but no sound came. The man raised his axe still higher. The tree needed but one more stroke of the axe to fell it. It was swaying, and she knew that the moment Dick stopped swinging his axe and let it fall, the figure behind would strike! 7To*be eluded) Housewife P; To Fill WASHINGTON. -- The U.S. bureai of agricultural economics reports the] business upswing has levelled off, but) commerce department officials said] the industrial pace has quickened inl recent months. 1 The bureau said in a monthly survey: "The marked upswing in business which began late last summer| apparently is not continuing." Whether the development will prove a minor setback or a serious inter^ ruption in the business upturn, it said, will depend on the amount of increase in private spending for struction and capital goods. Parts of the present business slack may be due to expansion of consumer goods lines at a faster clip than construction and capital goods, tl Commerce department official*) agreed the heavy goods have not moved upward as rapidly as consumer goods. They asserted, however, that in the aggregate business is lengtl ing its stride. Industrial production for the first 1937 quarter was 21.9 per cent, over the same 1936 period, these officials said, and this rate of increase was maintained through April and early May. This advance, they added, h greater than that during the last half of 1936. Cost of filling the U.S. housewife's grocery basket is the highest in six years, reflecting the tribute levied against the consumer's pocketbook by the 1936 drought, a study <of food prices in Chicago wholesale and retail markets disclosed. A U.S. department of agriculture survey showed the market basket's cost is about 10 per cent, higher than a year ago and 50 per cent, higher than the low point of early 1933. Woman's World By Maer M.

E. Mathews told a large gathering of mothers and daughters here. "It is going to be much harder for a mother in 1950 to bring her daughter up in the fear and admonition of the Lord than it is to do so today," Mrs. Mathews said. She is the wife of a former pastor of Temple Baptist Church and is a mother. She now resides with her family In Detroit. "Life has demanded a great more of me than I had any conception of when I was a young girl but it is go. ing to ask a great deal more of you," she declared to the daughters assembled. "More and more, the world is becoming a place for the woman who is prepared. By that I mean we must b able to do something exceptionally well. The world is asking for special-ed workers.

'For you who are not trained for special work it is going to be a rude awakening some day to wake up and find that your best isn't just good enough. There are t o many already like that. Positions are not waiting for such as them. "There is not an adult today who has reached maturity without some handicap," Mrs. Mathews said, "something that if allowed to grow from youth to old age, will drag and pull the individual down all through life. "In some it is just plain laziness, and to be quite frank, I think I could qualify very well in that class myself. But if you will take the advice of an older person, don't let that habit reach into your life. I would give all my gray hairs if I could just be a girl of 14 again and take advantage of the leisure that was mine. I had my tasks to do because I was brought up on a farm, but there were times when I had nothing to do but sit and rock time away in a chair.

To Teach Jobless Domestic Science Young Calgary Woman Lawyer Is Advancing New Plan CALGARY. -- Establishment of a cottage school where unemployed girls would be taught domestic science is advocated by Miss Mary Duncan, youn^- Calgary woman lawyer. Something definite, besides clubs, is needed for young girls who are ..jobless, she believes. Miss Duncan expects to start such a school this summer where girls would be taught cooking, sewing, designing, interior decorating, and how to meet people and how to entertain. "If the girls are not working," she said in an interview here, "they may as well be doing something worthwhile for themselves and the At first volunteer workers will be obtained to teach the girls, if Miss Duncan is successful with her plans to establish the school, but later she hopes to interest the government in what she believes will prove a worthwhile enterprise, and secure teach- ar d Ing aid. An appeal for furniture equipment will be made. "Practically any old things will do to begin ith," she said. "We'll paint them and fix them and probably learn a great deal in the process."
