"Yes, Michel." The old eyes were fond. "You were always a devil, but I always loved you." "Gently, darling. Don't go all soft on me now." "I could have killed you when --when you struck your brother." " "Do you think I loved it? I had. never hated my job so much as I did that night. But mark this, if I hadn't poked old Roger one. Kehl would have shot him dead. I had to do it." "Something like that came to me afterward, when I tried to think it all out.

They found your picture on my dreser and the little girl knock- ed it down and stamped upon it one day." "Eh! Oh, I sce what you mean. they were stamping on Oberlieu- tenant Faber.

They saw you go in- heard and was to the old man's cottage, shots, saw you come out you were laughing. 'That what they hated." "The devil! They were around the hut that day then! I have it now. You see, it was like this: The parachutist they saw go into the hut was not the one they saw come out." "You mean that you--" "I mean that he was going to pop me off with his Luger, so 1 ~popped him with mine, 1 had to get out of there anyway and that poor devil seemed to be sent right from heaven. I cut off a lot of hair and whiskers, changed outfits with him and left the hut. And yes, I guess I was smiling, I even had the Iron Cross." "The children looked in the hut and saw Bonhmme Fricot, as they thought. lying dead. Then the planes came over and the hut caught fire--" "And they wept for Bonhomme Fricot. 1 had a job to do around St. Como--hence the masquerade there. I've been some queer things in my time, duchess--" "I can believe it." The old lady's eyes were admiring now, He was her boy Michel. He was a great man, a brave man, He did work of thé greatest importance. A cap- tain, no less. A British agent. Cap- tain Michel Fabre. "What hap- pened after you left St. "Como, Michel? How did you land here?" * * * "It was all planned, I got my- gelf captured by the British and was shipped to England. My own chiefs had been praying for just such a chance as was given to us' then--my knowledge of German, Heidelberg, even the saber cut. Sa- pristi! It was if made to order, They put me next to Manfred, Kehl, I stayed next to him all' the way to Canada. Together we engineered the escape. Philib-' ert was the nearest place we could get a car, The only time I weak-; ened was when I knew I .had to come here. I hated that, Tante Mimi. You will never know how much I loathed it. To see you all after so long, and to sce the look on your _faces--well, it was my job I had to do it. In the States Kehl took me to the pcople we were seeking. They are now in jail. So is he "You're a fine boy, Michel, A splendid boy. Now--" the old la- dy's voice was very soft and gentle "--now why, after coming to Phi- libert thought, were you going away without a word to me or to anyone?" » » * "Well, I--" he fidgeted in his chair. His cheeks grew red. There was nothing now of Oberlicuten- ant Faber; he was only a boy whose cherished secret is found out, . "All these explanations," he mumbled. "Alot of damned rot. I planned to write to you or-- or see you later." "Captain Faber," Madame grin- ned at him slyly, "You wouldn't try to fool your aunt, would you?" Michel smiled resignedly, "I know it's no use. If you must know it anyway--I did not want to horn in on Roger's wedding, You see. I--" i "You happen to be in love with the girl he is about to marry." The blue eyes met her dark bright stare steadily, gravely, "Yes," he said, } "And she is in love with you." He shook hic head. "Oh, no, she is not in love with me." "But I tell you I know she--" "I am no fool, madame, If she is in love with me, how does she happen to be going up the altar steps with Roger?" "You were always a stublorn mule, Michell. You just said you fooled us all--" "Not youl I dida't fool you, did I?

'The Bookshelt... S o Well Remembered By JAMES HILTON This novel, the first in four and a halt years by the author of Goodbye Mr, Chips and Random Harvest, 1s the story of a plain man of our times. His world was not fit for heroes to live in, yet plain men often had to become heroes in it, and George Boswell was just such a man. His mis- takes, his idealism, his human frail- ties, his courage, his warm affec- tions and his never-failing humor make him one of the most appeal- ing characters Mr. Hilton has drawn, So well remembered is also the story of a remarkable woman and her sinister influence over three men, of clashing wills, and a struggle for mastery that spans a generation and is fought to a bitter end. Livia was George Boswell's young wife, and "that day so well re- membered was the day on which Councillor Boswell, later to become Mayor Boswell, had the immense satisfaction of laying the founda- tion stone of the new housing unit that replaced some of Browdley's worse slums, That day was also the turning point in George's life, the day when he had to face the truth about Livia. : Tne period of the novel is both before and during the Second World War; the scene is chiefly a small, industrial town in the British Midlands.

But it could he--it could be so very right if we poor humans didn't try to improve on the way of the Almighty. * Ed J Apropos of that it looks as it the old problem of daylight saving time versus standard time Is rear- ing its head again, some people wanting one time, some another, with yet another group absolutely bewildered, unable to make up its mind what it wants or even which time {is better for the common good, Farmers, prefer 4 speaking, Farmers generally standard time. ,cannot pick and choose the hours at which their work--especially field work--shall be done. Hay and grain cannot be taken off the field - while there is a heavy dew, and with daylight saving time it-is often well on into the forenoon before hay and grain can be drawn in. Thus the farmer is out of pock- et because he is losing valuable . time. Time which he cannot make up at the end of the day because he has to consider his hired help --there may be a show, a dance or a ball game in the offing, and there are very few farmers who ask, or expect, their help to work overtime, § * » * A few weeks ago a certain bus- iness man had occaslon to drive through the country at six a.m. He said afterwards--"I thought farm- ers were early risers--whén I was out this morning I didn't see a sign of life anywhere." Well, Mr. Business Man, your farmers were either out at the barn milking or just rolling out of bed ready for the day's work. They certainly wouldn't be out in the field at six a.m.=not in harvest time with daylight saving time in , force. L LJ a Despite its inconvenience to farmers there has been very little grumbling--that 1s, since fast time was made compulsory across the entire Dominion. It has been look. --. ed upon as a war time measure and thus accepted, But with Fed- eral restrictions lifted it will' bo another story. The farmer feels the importance of his wark should be taken into coiisideration. But will it be? How many small towns, which are the centre of farming communities, ' will vote in favour of standard time all the yea round? Very few I imagine, al- "though to vote, otherwise is very short-sighted policy. 1 ask you-- how long would the small town business man stay on his feet if it were not for his country custom? ' Ask 'any one of them and he will tell you the farmer is his 'best customer. And isn't it one of the principles of good business to cat- er to the buying public? Wouldn't it therefore be In order if the businessmen of small-town com- munities got together, went to their council and said--"Look here, the war is over, Federal re- strictions have been removed and we want standard time, We are out 'to get all the trade we can and if fast time is bad for the farmers, then it is bad for us and bad for our business." * * J tng Well, well--I was almost for getting my most important ' piece of news. I had just finished this column last week when the tele- phone rang. It was a--call from military ~ headquarters informing our son that all his papers and documents had come through and that everything was in order for his discharge from the Canadian Army. So today Bob has gone to Toronto. He weit away as a sol dler, In a 'few days we expect he will réturn as a clvillan. And an- other chapter begins for Mim on the road of life. C. O.D.
