His assignment was to in spect and report upon'some 'of 'the larger bomb-proot U-boat hases be- ing erected along the west toast of France by the German fleet. This informant reported that the British depth.charge being employ- ed by destroyers, submarine chas- ers and other surface craft of the Royal Navy, had caused something like panic among U-boat crews, According to Nazi sailors, the depth-charge "is the submarine version of the new bomb invented in Britain and used by the Royal Air Force for the first time last © Summer, It - was described as being small and having a thin cas- ing into which is packed the ter xific explosive, Can't Dive Fast Enough Tho charge wasssald to have ani, "incredible" area of blast, rendering action.

Repledge for War Savings TEA ' MARRYING } ™ Violette Kimball Dunn "CHAPTER 23 SYNOPSIS When Mark Alexander's beau- tiful wife, Ellen died, he was left with Valerie, Ellen's daughter by a former marriage. All of Ellen's family and intimates save Shirley trust fund which Ellen left her, He takes Valerie on a trip and on the way home, they meet ° Lucy Treadway whom he engages as Valerie's tutor. Elise, ' want. ing to marry Mark, is furious about this bringing another wo- man 'into the house and is mak- ing things as unpleasant for Lucy as she possibly can. Elise has just returned from a party at Mark's house and is 30 disturbed that she barks at her maid, who immediately gives notice and walks out, Elise slammed the door on her, and pulled nervously at, the fas- tenings of her velvet dress. She . stepped out of her Jthings, leav- ing them where they fell. But a certain canny sense left over Bureau of Public Information in Ottawa, told a Kiwanis .Club ot Galt in a speech recently on "Ugly * Truths" that the most appardnt and ugliest of them all "is that we are not winning this war" and up to the present we barely have escaped losing it. : : "That we have not lost it is due largely to luck or if, there be any who honestly think .we deserve such mercy, it is due to the charity and sympathy of . Almighty God," he said. "Unless we mend our ways, and mend them soon, unless we stop waiting for the other - fellow to make the first move, unless we sharpen our consciences . to the quickness of our tongues and do it without delay, we are in dreadful danger of losing this war." = Unity Called For Mr. Lagh said "Germany now is prepared to cause the final defeat of England and 1s determined to have a formidable day of: judgment not only on Churchill but on the British nation" of which "Canada ds part and parcel." _ "As to what should he done, 'each person should provie his own answer," he added. "Right now some Canadian youngster in the English skies is fighting for. hig lite and mine. Do you think he gives a tinker's damn whether I am a Protestant; a Roman Catholic or a Mohammedan? Right now it is possible the crew of one of our merchant vessels is battling against overwhélming odds to save its ship, "Mary was a sweet thing until I got her in my clutches with too much tea and coffée.

She pushed back' her hair, and She was, she thought, far more beautiful than Shirley. Or than the brown-eyed idiot of a Lucy, with her golden hair. What more did a man want than beauty? . She got up, lighted a cigar- ette, and lay down on her couch to think. y As she lay there, it came to her quite suddenly and sharply that she had lost Mark. That was. ho she put it to herself. Deep in her heart she realized she had never had him to lose. The first thing to do was to keep him from diffisult. . . She "lay there planning until a faint streak of yellow "dawn lay like a brush across the sky beyond her window, Then she got up, shivering a. little, pulled her negligee closer, sat down at her desk, and began a long letter to Dorothy. Christmas Festivities Looking back on that Christ mas at Wide Acres, Lucy decid- ed it was her final glimpse of heaven. It avas far from tradi- tional Christmas weather. Ex- cept for one light snowfall, the days were crisp and clear, with a warm mid-day sun, If it had to be winter, which she despised, Valerie said, it could hardly be improved. Al- though the leaves were gone, the place wore almost a summery green, There was an enormous planting of evergreens and pines about it, with masses of rhodo-_ dendrons, glossy and sleck against the bare trees. No Christmas could have had a more peifect setting. Valerie went to a small party the night before; and Mark and Lucy and Chiltern trimmed an enormous treé for her at one end of the long library, : After Chiltern had gone, Lucy watching the flames in a complete cpmpanion- before, Once a bell sounded far off in the house. They looked at each other and waited, half expecting Elise to push aside the draperies and shatter the quict peace, ' But Elise was at that moment the life of a night-club party in 'town, -where she was trying un- successfully, in the midst of a particularly hectic celebration, to to Dorothy. She had, to _be very gay to drown the requrring fear that gripped her whenever she thought of the letter. The very fact that Dorothy made it all the more ominous. She had kept as. far as she could from Wide Acres, even refusing invitations in- clude Mark. : Mischief Enters The peaceful interlude came to an abrupt end two days after Christmas. Lucy looked back on it as a special sort of compen- sation for the pain that follow- ed. . She and -Valerie and-. Mark came in from a holiday 'matince in town to find Dorothy unpack- ing insEllen's old rooms, having reached Wide Acres half an hour after they had left it. They would hardly believe Chiltern when he told them, =~ ¥ -- Dorothy - appeared at dinner, She acknowledged Mark's intro- duction to Lucy affably enough. Lucy breathed more freely. She hadn't known. exactly what she expected from Dorothy, but it wasn't pleasant, It was wonderful what a dif- ference nine months and a little money had made in Dorothy. She had managed "to put on a little flesh, and. had lightened her to pale grays and mauves which softened her right- eous angularity amazingly. She even chatted with them in a sort of "fictitious gaiety, which some- how made them strangely "une 'easy. "I didn't suppose I could tear you away, tq, visit me," she said ¢oYly to Valerie, "so what could I do but come to you?" "Oh, no!" cried Valerie. "1 couldn't possibly leave." Her own dismay struck her ears so rude ly that she hurried to repair it. "You see--theré are my lessons, "one's We' have school every day. It's very important. And, of course, there are the parties--a few---" Dorothy grabbed that. '"Par- ties?" she repeated. Lucy thought she could hardly have looked more shocked if the child had confessed to arson. She bit her lips to keep from rushing to Valerie's rescue, She looked quickly at Mark, But Mark had already leaped into action, "Just some' children's affairs," he explained amiably, "Why? Have you blacklisted parties?" ' Dorothy looked 'at him sadly. "Oh, no," she said. "Whether nature, is - like a shallow brook or a deeper stream is more or less out of one's hands,~I sup- pose. I only fegl it's rather a pity when grief has' so weak a hold--" ; "Then that's where we diss agree," Mark said. "To me, grief should have no hold" on youth at all. Perhaps it's all a nmatter of taste." Waiting Her Chance Dorothy managed to put in a week without even a hint as to the reason for her coming. She succeeded in spoiling New Year's Eve for everybody except Valerie, who went to a children's party at Shirley's, slipping out when her aunt had gone to her room- after dinner, and feeling excit. edly like a conspirator. Lucy went into the library, aiter seeing "her safely on her way with Cat- let. . © Mark was reading, and jumped up to put her in a big chair by the fire. "That's the very one you sat in the frst night you landéd. Do you remember?" Would she ever forget? "Here's a perfectly good cele: bration gone to the dogs," he added. Dorothy came in just then, so Lucy said good night, and went to her room. If Dorothy was waiting for a chance to talk to Mark, it was only fair to give it to her. . She was quite sure by now that Dorothy was her enemy. She felt a growing 'conviction that she was the reason for Dorothy's presence, She and Valerie went back to their lessons the day after New Year's. For those hours at least, they were free.
