"There are possibily other deposits in the country." While muscovite is commonly found in Canada, sheets of the size and quality taken from the new deposit are unusual, officials said.

For the first time in what seemed ages he was cheerful. The old feeling of helplessness had been replaced by the quickening excitement that comes to a man on the verge of a dangerous ad-' venture, While directing . 8 Bren gun crew in anti-aircraft drill atop the roof of the captain's bridge, Rol- lins studied the "A" deck immed. fately below bim and mentally drew up a plan for that night, Sounding for all the world like men beating with hammers upon a tin roof, the Bren rattled away at imaginary Naxi craft. Sandbagd surrounded the gun, and the troops wore steel helmets as well as lifebelts and gas masks. Greg was a new man wlien he met Joan Davaar at the Officers' Dance that evening. He had men- tally paradéd every suspicion about her and found harmless ex- planations for everything. Be- sides, he felt that he had grown to know the girl--really know her ---and if, for no other reason, the prospect of baggMg the real mur- derer and clearing any possible "-suspicion--from--the-- girl's -name held tremendous appeal. 7 . . » It was =a bit difficult dancing on the rolling floor, but holding Joan in his arms paid its own way. : His lips brushed her hair. SThere's a most important matter to discuss," he whispered. "How soon and how often am I to see you after we land?" "That might be Mtficult, Greg," she replied, her face sobering. "But when do you get leave?" "Well, we go directly. to Alder- shot Camp, and if all goes as leave after 10 days. And you?" = Joan gqueezed his hand. "Do you plan to go to London--with all the bombing going on?" 4. "I plan"--he spoke deliberately --to go wherever you'll be , , ." Joan's face lighted. "I've got it! We're due for a special gas course jn a hospital on the outskirts of London, I understand we are. to have most evenings free during the course. Perhaps 1 could meet you on the 11th night after land. ing at a little restaurant on Greek street in the Soho.

Without a word, he wheeled around and left the girl staring after him in hurt- bewilderment. There was a blanket of moon- less black over "A deck and a growling nor'wester was roaring endlessly through * the rigging. Salty spray bit into Rollins' eyes as he furtively watched the sent- ry. ¢huffle along the slippery deck toward the stern. = Quickly he slipped across to the lifeboat he had already selécted, loosened 'a tarpaulin rope, and crawled uu- der the canvas, The illuminated dial of his watch told him it was 11.66 p.m, He gettled. himself as comfortably as possible in the cramped quarters, The minutes dragged intermin. ably and the woo-0-0-ing wind of the ocean wastes added to the monotony, When again he look- ed at his watch it was 12.30 . . , perhaps it would be a false alarm after all and . . . he tensed sud- denly as the door just down the deck began opening slowly! A dark figure slipped out and glued itself like a darg smudge against the deck wall for a min- ute. Then it moved like a cat to the rail, From his inch of aperture be- tween canvas and boat edge, Rol- lin saw brief light flashes! ., . . He waited no longer , . . He ripped back the canvas with one hand and nulled out his service revolver with the other, but even as he vaulted from the lifeboat onto the deck he saw from a cor- ner of his eye a second dark fig-, ure break from the shadow of an emergency raft and rush toward the other at the rail! I'or the merest fraction of a _moment his view: was cut off by a section of the lifeboat. A re- volver shot cut through the howl- ing wind. Rollins streaked around ". the lifeboat. One of the figures -was- sprawled on the deck--the other bending over. i "Reach! snarled Rollins. Slowly the figure straightened, holding hands outward. In one was a small silver-plated revol- ver. Greg snatched it and wheel- ed the Tigure around. It" was Joan Davaar! . » * Without saying "a: word he smelled the barrel of the silver- plated revolver. It had just been fired. He slipped it into a poc- ket and motioned for her to hand him the contents of the other hand. Silently, she gave him a small flashlight, curiously shaped. He pushed her aside and bent over the sprawled figure. Even in the meagre light, Rol- lins could see the face quite plain- ly. Lieut. Haryy Miley was very dead. The bullet must have hit him squarely in the forehead, and his features twisted into a crazy smile. ' Rollins pulled a whistle from his" pocket and-blew- three short blasts. Feet came pounding from the stern end. It was the sentry. "Keep guard here," ordered Rollins, "and don't touch a- thing. I'm taking this prisoner to the o.c." He gripped Joan by the arm and led her through the door. Inside, he spoke to her for the first time. "You are under ar- rest. Anything you say shall be held against you." . Joan's face was white. = She didn't answer. : : Col. Stephenson listened attent- ively to Rollins' report, glancing frequently in the direction of the girl who sat with her eyes on the carpet. i * * . "To which, sir!' Rollins con- cluded in a dull monotone, "I must add "a pérsonal confession of my deliberate concealment of suspicious knowledge about this girl. "Only tonight did I realize how wrong I was. Blame it on infatuation, if -you- will, sir." Joan's head raised, and he felt her eyes on him, "but the fact remains. that I. failed. to follow orders by not reporting what now are shown as vitally important details which might have pre- vented Miley from being murder- ed--and possibly, Syd Tees, - I shall make a full written state- ment immediately, and place my- self at your disposal, Sir!

"Very well," commented the colonel, "Did you' also kill Tees?" Joan: paused:. "Confession to one killing should be sufficient for you ' The - colonel --grunted. "Un: doubtedly it will be."

S. F. in The Chris- tian Science Monitor. Yet it is inexpensive, and: a" delight to the %ook, because it can be stored-in=- the refrigerator for days. The answer is Apple Snow, well known to many cooks as a quick, easy icing for cakes.

If it'is not very stiff, yousehould add more grated apple until it is.

The harbor, protected by three breakwaters, is 850 acres in extent; has two modern drydocks and excellent facilities for world wide shipping, with engineering shops close to the docks.
