"Only 1 still dont approve of having that detective come. 1 just "know he is going to get us all in 'a lot of trouble, How did he happen to be here and know about you?" she asked, turliing to Maxine, "He works at the studio in Hollywood and he is driving to New: York. While he was in Chic- ago he talked to the West Coast studios and they told him that I was stopping here~for a little visit befcre 1 went on East, so he came down here just to make sure that there had been no: change in my plans, - "He didn't think 1 would arrive until tor.orrow, but tonight he heard someone in the hotel he had seen .me today, so he called right away He wanted to see me anyway, so when Peggy suggested having him come ut to look for the ring, he said all right. And he is comin_ out in the mornng. 1 thing maybe 1 had better explain ° it to Gran, so you-all can be a few minutes late for breakfast. I think 'it would be best for Gran to ask me most of the questions. Peggy would probably get all mixed up." POE Maxine had already made her ex. planations the next morning when the two girls reached the dining room. Mrs, Horton looked up at them as they entered. "My dear," she said, addressing Nancy.

Maxine assures me he is amorg the best in his line in California, Have you thought back carefully over your actions since you last saw your ring, Nancy?" % - "Oh, yes, carefully" "You do seem to take the matter very sensibly, I am sure. Peggy looks more as if she had not slept than you do." + oe» > It was true that Peggy had not slept well. She had been out of bed several times to look again among the clothes she had worn to the train. Could i be possible that she had dropped it on the old wooden platfrrm of the station when 'she went to put it into her bag? Or had it just dropped in plain sight of anyone who might come along and pick it up? But she re- membered so well putting it into the bag and closing it. What on earth was she going to say to Harry next Wednesday if she had not found it by then? So her mind had raced throughout the night. No wonder Gran thought she looked as if she had not slept. "Of course I' am worried, Gran. To: have Nancy lose such a gor- geous ring here!" Her granmother smiled at her. "But, my dear, rings cannot run away. And we know that there is no one here who woul, have taken it, so that leaves it simply mis- placed. I feel sure that Mr. New- ton wil' be able to suggest the place where it must-be, Oh, that must be he. IT hear an automobile, We will go into the front parlor and see him there." "ET Maxine followed William to the front door while Mrs. Horton and the two girls crossed 'the hall and entered the front parlor. Peggy was surprised that her grandmother had -.choseni" this place to receive a de- tective. It was here that Gran usu- ally greeted her more important guests, . } The old lady séttled 'herself in a high backed chair with her back to the window, her tiny feet placed Mrs, Horton, . quite man,the covering of which had been woven by her mother-in-law. When Mrs Horton sat in that big chair with her feet on the otto- man she was like some little power- ful judge who passed sentence on those who were brought before him. Peggy understood that now. Her grandmother was going to /judge this Mr. Newton whom Maxine was recommending. Peggy had not thought of judging a de- tective, - except by his speed in taking over the job and finding the ring. : She smiled to herself as she thought of some big Irishman-- weren't all detectives. Irish,or did that only apply to_cjty cops?--com- ing into this room of her ancestors and being judged by Gran. She remembered a<detective she had seen in one of Maxine's pictures. head, and who seemed always to have a long cigar stuck in the cor- ner of his mouth."

"Oh, I hope he won't be too bad," she prayed fervently as she heard footsteps crossing the hall. She shut her eyes, waiting to "hear how Gran greeted him before she looked to see what he was like. "Gran," Maxine was saying, "this is Stanley Newton, a friend of mine from California, My grand- mother, Mrs. Horton, Stanley." "l am delighted to meet you. Mr, Newton," Gran sounded .as if she really meant it and the mus- cles around Peggy's tightly closed eyes began to relax, "I can't tell you--" Peggy didn't hear any more. Her eyes were open now. Wide open. She knew that voice He wasn't fat, he was- n't wearing a derby, and he did not have a cigar in his mouth ~ Mr. Newton was the Man from Califor- nia.

GOLDEN TEXT.--Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called sons of God, Matthew 5:0, The first portion of -cur lesson comes from the greatest scrmon ever preached, the sermon on the mount, In it we find the sccret for success in this life and the life to come, "Love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy" was. the common teaching in the day of our Lord, and it is much the same today, The Germans sought to build a super- ior race on this principle, and we have witnessed the grief and heart- aches it has wrought. God's Standard of Living How different is the message from the Lord, He would have us" perfect in love, as is God the fath- er, 'the one 'who causes the sun to 'shine, and the rain to fall on the just and the unjust. There is no credit. to us for loving those who love us, or respecting the ones who respect us, for that is the natural thing to do. The Lord would have us live according to a higher stand- ard, and "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you," and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you", Will yoir ac- cept this challenge? Laws of the Land Turning to governments, St. Pal, who knew what it was to » . \ live under an alien government, brings us a message regarding the Lord's will concerning those who are in authority over us. Those who resist the government, or break the law, are committing an offense against God. If we do good works, or in other words, live according to the teachings of the bible, we will have need to fear. the law, for the law is to prevent evil, ] } As we all know, when we come ply«with the laws of the land we have a clear conscience. It is also well pleasing to God. So may. we not fail to pay our just dues no matter if we feel they are unjust, re- membering if it is according to the law of the .land, it is the Lords will.

Clarke ' Last week I really managed to get away to the city for two whole days, It was a case of dire necess- ity. Partner couldn't get a pair of boots anywhere in town in the size that he takes and I couldn't get any underwear -at all, Added to that 1 needed my glasses changed so 1 think' you will agree tha a trip to the city was decidedly urgent. » » 0 But what a time 1 had to get away. Every day there was some- thing to hold me back. \When I fin- ally made the grade 1 went by early morning train so I was right on hand to shop-as soon as the stores were open, How did 1 get along? Well, I went to six stores before I could get any stockings. I went for shoes and had no trouble at all, And Partner's boots--that's where I really got a break. The shoe store had just received shipment of forty-pairs of men's work boots. That was their quota for the win- ter--and they said they could sell from five to seven hundred. Then I shopped for women's un- derwear and the answer to my in- quiry was--"Yes, we got some in just this morning, but I suppose it will be all gone by tomorrow." Lucky?--I could hardly believe in my own good fortune. Greatly cheered I looked around for men's light weight woollen underwear. That's where I met my Waterloo, There just wasn't no such animal. I very nearly walked my feet off but the answer was usiways the same--"We are not able to get light weight woollens at all." » » * By this time it was nearly noon and a little relaxation seemed in order, so I slid into a down-town theatre and saw "Since You Went Away." It is really a grand pic- ture--I enjoyed every minute of it. But towards the end of the show I began to feel a trifle gone--and it was no wonder. Three o'clock when I came out and all I had had since I-left my bed that morning was a cup of coffee. However that situation was soon remedied. Then I hunted up Daughter--and talk about coincidence! She had an ap- pointment with an eye specialist cone that I wanted to see, So we both got in on Daughter's appoint- ment, Had we tried to arrange it that way it wouldn't have happen. ed, v * * . " And still another coincidence: Partner's brother appeared on the scene just as we were having sup- per. So 1t was quite a family gath- ering and all by accident. MM you read that kind of thing mn a story you would say it was just written to make a 'good yarn. The upshot of it all was a promise of three visitors to the farm over the week- end. And it was Thursday night when I got home; on Iriday we picked chickens; and on Saturday I had to shop, bake, and give the house "a once-over", 1 sort of feel I had quite a busy week--or did I? Well, today we start another week. Partner and young John are out with the tractor; 1 have just received an invitation to help pack Ditty bags; there is kmtting and sewing to take down to the Red Cross and "The Wkite Cliffs ot Dover" simply has to be seen either tonight or tomorrow night. So it looks like the beginning of another busy week. 2 Start Care Now Of House Plants One of the secrets of success in keeping house plants in good condi- tion during the winter is to start their care immediately the heat is "turned on in the home in the fall The reason is that one of the most common causes of failure during the winter is that the plants are kept in rooms that are 1much too warm for them. By the time Christ- mas has arrived, the plants may be wilted or otherwise in poor con- dition, particularly if they have been placed near a radiator. More house plants have been killed by heat than by cold, The ideal tem- perature for house 'plants is about 65 degrees, or better still, 60 to 65 degrees EF. three degrees less than the recommended house tem- for the next morning--the same perature both from the health point ) (XJ DO THIS!
