LJ L * We have threshing to do, oats to draw in and barley to cut -- and son Bob, hecause a wire from headquarters has been held up some place, Is on draft for Camp Borden! Partner isn't able to cut the barley; we can't draw In oats until we have threshed; and we can't thresh until Bob gets back home to look after things. And the threshing machine 'is on the line and will probably want to move in somotime. tomorrow. We are also afraid to leave the house very long in case 'long distance" ghould call, If I. have to go out I generally warn Partner to listen for the phone. But that idea doesn't work too well because he generally falls asleep if he ig left in the house too long alone, I tell him his guardian: ship is parellel to that of King Al fred and the cakes. - Ld LI Since I had to be in the house go much lately I thought it might be a good idea to get a room pap- ered -- a job that has been hang- ing fire for some time. Our young niece Betty is staying with us so # occurred to me that with her help I might even be able to paper the ceiling -- a job I have never yet tackled alone. The ceiling was low enough that I could reach it from a chair and the room not so terribly big. So I "hopefully cut and measured one strip of paper -- I thought one plece would be enough to experi- ment with. Well, I wrestled with that piece of evil for nearly an hour -- pasting and repasting, At one time I hf 1 wrapped around me lke a wihding sheet and of course I finished up by tearing it into any number of pieces. In des- peration I came downstairs and phoned a neighbor -- "How do you get one end of a éirip to stay an a-ceiling while you, fix the other?" I asked. Well, after she had finished laughing at me she sald -- "You just leave it for now and I will come down after supper and help you." Bo that was that. The ceiling was done that night and Betty and I papered the walls next day. It 18 grand to have neighbours and nelces! ® LJ LJ Another telephone call ,..

Radar 'Spy' Found Nazis Unprepared A secret spy trip by a leading radar expert in 1937 assured Britain that Germany had no radar system of her own, it was disclosed following the lifting of the Anglo- American censorship on this closely-guarded weapon. Sir Robert Watson-Watt, radar pioneer, and his wife were sent on 'a special journey to Germany in the guise of tourists. They carried the tourist's usual para- phernalia of walking shoes and Baedeker--plus a pocket telescope which looked like a flashlight. They visited ancient churches --taking a particular interest in the view form the steeple -- where Lady Watson- Watt sketched landscapes, and Sir Robert poked around in the churchyard looking for the "graves" of the revered grand- parents of a friend." Most important, 'however, It now is disclosed, they returned to Britain, having seen nothing more than a few ordinary radio towers and some high tension wires--none of the equipment of a radar sfation with whose appearance Sir Robert was so familiar, - Have Youn Heard?

Ay idea?" » "Ah, welll" Roger looked at the elear blue sky and thought of Meridel's eyes and closed his own. It 'would be good to fly again, to range the heavens wide and free, "By the way," said Peter Ays- cough, "I heard they found. that ritzy station wagon of yours aban- doned at Sainte;Barbe, not far from . the border. The fugitives grabbed some farmer's truck there and took it almost to the line And they're over, I guess, They seeem to have vanished into thin air." "I thought Nervy beggars." "It's a devil of a note-- That Kehl--Captain Manfred Kehl -- a big shot Nazi; the other [ad, Faber, was a hell-raiser too. No end of trouble with him in the camp, I heard from a chap who did duty there. They'll find some pals in the States, you may be sure. 1 suppose they'll turn up next in Tobruk." ~ Roger, deep in his heart, did not know whether to be glad or sorry that Michel had escaped. For a while he had thought, with Tante Mimi, that perhaps a bullet frem a pursuer's gun would be the best answer to it all. Now he did not know. His own happiness was so great," so wondrous, Perhaps the Americans, this time, would grant no bail, would take the men and hold them prisoners until the war was over. Certainly it would be foolhardy to let those two escape. Well, anyway, it wasn't his worry any more. they'd get away, * * * The children had presented Pe- ter Ayscough with a huge basket or ribbon-candy, barley toys, bon- bons, frurt and nuts, which he con- ° sumed happily along the way at the "constant hazard of wrecking the machine and breaking their necks, "It. will be a relief to get up in the air again, Pete," said Roger ap they slewed away from the edge of a gully and grazed a telephone pole on .the other side of the road. "So safe up there." "It is a bit slippery, sir. Gosh, you must have. had & swell time at your aunt's place, if "this is a sample of it. Was thal pratty; girl the princess? * \ "Yes--that was the princess." "Boy! She looked it. War surely has it compensations." "Yes," said Roger wryly. "It's been a great war for the Fabres. We'll all be sorry to see it end." He fell sivent, thinking of that last lovely picture he had taken away with him, the bright faces of the children, madame's burning black eyes and the pride in_them and the tears that were like jewels in the eyes of Meridel. Behind them the gray walls of the chateau; behind it the hills crowned with the dark green beauty. of the spruce trees * * * Your dear, remembered face, he thought. Nothing shall dim the memory of it for me--not the mountains and the seas between; not years it I should be kept away from you that long; not eterhity. But I'll come back to you, Meridel. I know I was not first in your heart, He, came there once 'for a little while and possessed it, and he does not easily let go. I'm sorry the end for him had to be like this, so dark, so shamefully dark. 1 would rather have bested' him in fair fight or at least have had the thance 'to fight, even had 1 lost. There's something holon about iy victory, somethiig that robs it of its savor. Dreaming thus, he dozed off and it was not until they had rolled into the outlying' districts of the city where Ayscough had a chance to do some really fancy driving, that he awakened--just as their front fender 'grazed the mighty bumper - of a truck. "Did 1 miss mich; Pete?" "You have no idea, sir." Pete grinned cheerfully. "All men, espe- cially trick drivers, will remem- . ber the passing of Peter Ayscotigh" "With a blessing, I'll. bet," "Well, I did hear some of them niention names that go with bléss- ings, though their faces belied their words, But I do my best, my very best, and do it every day. Always the first to spring to arms at the éall 'of duty, that's 'me, Pete," « 4» Gradually, quiet descended on the great house as the laughter, the "busy tongues were stilled by sleep. "Rudolph, the incorrigible, went to the kitchen soon after dinner, to sit in the chair he loved, to talk grave- with Gesner and the cook and forian and the other domestics, of wars and the aftermath, of War, of his own experience in the army of 'France "in the First World War, He spoke of the great generals' of istory, of the first great Churchill, orporal John, Dike of Maribor. on, Wellington and Blucher, He rince' Eugene, of Napole- go Houved kitchens, did Rudaloh. were they of castles, inns or cottages, He, who was to the manner born," found his greatest ease and happi- ness in the inglenook. Madame and Meridel shared the fire in the foohi upstairs. It had been a. good day. The events of last night had not faded, any more than the wine stain on the taupe carpet. But the beauties of the day had taken some of the ugliness from them; the sweet and gentle spirit, the love that had pervaded the house had driven those dark shddows into hiding and both 'of - them prayed, the old lady and the ~mander to young girl in whose "eyes the dreams refused to die, that they would not come again. "You sent Roger away happy this time," 'said niadame. "Never be- fore have I seen him go so gayly leave 0 much that he loved be- hind and depart singing. But it was so tcday, I think he must have taken something very precious away with him." * oc o* » Meridel colored, looked at her hand that he had kissed. 'Some- thing very small I think, madame: He askefl for my love and I told him it was freely given." The old lady looked at her shrewdly for a moment; then at the fire. She rubbed her chin on the gleaming knob of her stick. "Freely, yes," she said after a moment, "Sometimees, 1 know, it is not in our power to give as we should, like to -give. "And is not that madame?" The thin shoulders shrugged. "Say, rather, it is human nature-- a perverse, stubborn, sometinies hateful thing. Logic stops at hu- man nature. Why do we do the things we do, hein? Why should we cause pain to those who love us most? Roger adores you, but yau know what it is in love--one who loves, one who permits herself to be loved. It is like that in any match. There is no balance. gives, the other takes. Oh, I have seen it often, often." . "You think it is like that with-- with Roger and me?" "Isn't it?" "I--" she coverd her face with her hands. "I do not know. Oh, he is so fine. He is what you call a noble knight. 1 am nothing.
