LF EV ing goes with her to a country ey meet Jim very miserable over 's open devotion te Ja- net. Janet is torn between her love for Jimmy and the realiza. tion that Westlake can give her the life she has always longed or, A PROPOSAL The meeting with Mildred and Jimmy had oc.urred on a Wednes- day evening, That meant that six days must elapse before her date with Jimmy. During that ti ce he did not call her nor attempt to see her, and jews mise ' him acutely, She missed hint even though her time was fully occupied by eWstlake, The older man filled her days and cvenings with invitations, often in- cluding Adelaide but never persuad- ing her to join them, Consequently in the long afternoons and evenings Janet and John Westlake spent to- gether there was aniple time for them td get to know cach other thor. oughly, Janet liked him, felt for him the deepest admiration and friendship but her pulse neve quickened when his hand touched hers, she never looked: forward to his arrival to take her somewhere as the high note' of the day. She tried to talk of this with Ade- laide but Adelaide dismissed it with a shrug of her shoulders, and, "You can't expect to feel just the sane to- ward an older man as you do toward a fellow your own age. You've got to be more settled in your feelings, ay, Just think of all the things heen give you, and isn't it a8 if le were some silly old fool who couldn * keep his hands off you and wanted to be pawing you every minute, You couldn't stand that" Janes shivered, "No, I couldn't, He i everything you say he is, Adelaide, ut" Adelaide laughed. "Don't think so much' about it, just shut your eyes and say ves when he asks the fatal question," Janet and Westlake were having dinner and going to the theatre that night, One thing Janet liked about the man was that he didn't expect her to tall all the time, He seemed to be quite content to have her with him, to talk about himself and his work, or to lapse with her into 4 friendly silence, All during that even- ing she studied him. He was good Inoking,' strong and well, she won- dered how old he war not much past 40 in spite of his white hair, she de- c'led, After the theatre "rv vent ro a roof garden restaurant for supper While they sipped 1 ad. through long straws and watched the dancing, Westlake said, "My wvacation's pretty nearly over, Janet, It's the hest ons I've ever had, thanks to you" " He called her by her first name and it seemed entirely natural but Janet always addressed him as Mr 1to bei Apbseryed, "there's lots of space there, Ito find doing work like that, By Barbara Webb| Copyright by Publis Ledger Westlake when she specs to him di- rectly and never used his first name even in talking of him to Adelaide "I'm glad you've enjoyed it," she said new, "I certainly have, In fact, I'm thinking of selling out my lumber business snd 'com East to live, What would you think of that?" Janet hesitated, "What would you do here?" "Compensations He smiled ruefully, "I'd have to do something, wouldn't 12" I'm not used idle, haven't got the habit, Still I think I could play around, maybe travel for a year or so and then maybe go into some kind of banking or bond business here" "1 always think of you as belonging out of doors," Janet told him, "Well, 1 do, for a matter of fact, I've pretty nearly lived out of doors all my life--but, there might be coni- pensations in com ast-geeing you often, for one thing." She want- anet's mouth LX ) as he going to to run away, propose to her? Now? hat would she answer? Oh, if Jimmy only had Jone prospects, some future to offer er Westlake seemed to sense her pa- | nic, for he did not pursue the subject, "Have you 'ever Instead he asked, been West, Jaret?" { She shook her head. "No, I've| one to the country in Connecticut | or vacations, but that's tbout all the | traveling I've cver done, I'm New| York, born and bred--but I like the ountry," . : "1 think you'd like Wisconsin," he and some mighty up-to-date cities, too, I reckon it would strid un East erner as pretty lonesome sometimes, though." The conversation died, Janet was too afraid to give him any encour- agement to ask him questions, He knew she was not ready to talk se- riously of marrying him. So he said, "I liked those friends of yours we met the other night, The girl is really nandsome, isn't she?" "Mildred's an awfully nice girl,' Janet agreed, "and she must be very | successful to live the way she does," | "You say the brother works in a filling station?" "Yes, With my father" "Seems queer, doesn't it? He struck me as a very well educated young man, not at all the sort you'd think Does he expect to continue that job inde- finitely i" "I guess so, about it much~he's just a friend, you know, only my says Jimmy seems to be perfectly contented." Westlake shook his head, "Tou bad," he said, pityingly, "it seems a shame to find a smart young fellow like hat without any ambition, and with such an up-and-coming sister, I wonder why she doesn't try, to im« prove him?" "Oh, I think Mildred's the kind that believes in everybody living his own life. 1 don't think she'd try to reform or change anybody's way of living, She's awfully independent herself and 1 imagine she. thinks everybody else ought to be, 100," "She wears good-lookiag clothes, Westlake said admiringly, "She re- minds me of a high-bred horse, dain ty and proud, and strong, too, Well- Supper was over, He paid his check and drove Janet back to Adelaide's apartment, They did not talk oft the way home, but when he left her for the night he said, "There's something I'd like you to think about Janet, | know I'm a lot older than you are, but maybe 1 could make up for that in other ways---no, don't be fright ened, I'm not asking for any answer now, But you said back at the sup- per chib that you couldn't imagine my being happy unless I could be out of doors a _ great deal, and I think you're right, Se I'd just like you to think over whether you might like living out West or not--will you?" He had one of Janet's handy in his own as he spoke, Janet pulled it] free, "I'l=I'll think about it," she promised, Then she fled into the elevator, leaving him with a puzzled expression on his face and desire burning more fiercely than ever in his heart, We've never talked good father Janet did not sleep well that night It was Monday and the evening he fore lier promised date with Jimmy She knew that she must soon make her decision between the two men, CALMONT OILS, LIMITED It is almost an impossibility to estimate the intrinsic value of Cal- mont Oils acreage in Turner Val- ley Oil Field, Calmont owns 1,440 acres in this well-known producing oil area, and some at $50,000 per acre, based on pro- duction values of wells immediate- ly adjoining its property, We Advise the pilfchass outright + of Calmont Stock Now / of its acreage is valued | box, | Mighty Bridge Spans Saskatchewan pith In Canada's northern areas of resource becomes reality in the Canadian Pacific Railway | pounds pid @ now nearing completion at Nipawin, Sus atchewan, Designed to take the heaviest loco- motives likely to be built, this magnificent structure, | on the top, a little more than 1907 feet long, spans the Saskatch-| 1028-1929, ewan River at a point leading from the more definitely rieultural section into minin of recognized magnitude, It will afford read. to still unexhausted farm lands and direc of Access trans- develop mineral areas rich in promise, his new | either end. arct passed the note to Adelaide "Of cours when she had finished reading it But Janet dropped the both, But try as she would, sh could only add up all the material ( und she tried to think clearly of the my | advantages of a marriage with West- | | gatewny to the North required more than 814 million structural i 'ehicular traffic will be earried in the space between the ironwork and Canadian Paci (1) shows the pile-driver at work in (2) In picturesque setting, plers of the structure are viewed from Fe and timber districts | August 1029 before the steel arrived, towers almost finished, December 18, 1929, (4) Look- te ing across the eompleted bridge on the vehicular portation possibilities for those who will explore and | roadway which meets the Government highway at you'll wear it," she said|ing Jimmy tonight, you know." bracelet | {in the session broke its resistence snd it slumped sharply to 8.65, off B65 points, st which level it wes selling at one o'clock, Norands wap solling st 41,40 at noon, a smal) fraction higher, while Nickel wus up 50 cents to 20%, Amulet drop ped 4 to 1,71, Ventures lost 15, while Valeonbridge #dvanced 20 points, Sherritt 6 and Howey un- changed st 1,10, Ajax lend the depression in oll stock finding lower levels at 1.4% Easterest broke 11 to 90, Calmont 156 to 11.70 and Dalhousie 20 to 2.06, Bales were running light st midday, NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE New York, Veb, A--Priees of the main body of stocks moved higher in today's sesgion of the New York Btock Bichange, but weak spots croped out now snd then, giving the market the appearance of irreg- ularity, Trading showed o marked falling off in volute but thig may have been due in part, to power trouble which temporarily halted the operation of thousands of tick. ers in New York and some of the other cities, Cutting of the German Iteich- bank's redigcount rete from 6% to to 6 per cont, following 6 cut from 8% to 2 in the Bank of ¥rance rate last week, is belleved to have in- creased the possibility of lower Bank of England and New York Pedoral Reserve rediscount rates, Call money renewed unchanged at | 4% per cent, with the demand for | federal reserve funds Indicating | the absence of any large supply of | funds available in New York, | WINNIPEG GRAIN OPENING | Winnipeg, sh, 4.- -Wheat: May Bs higher to unchauged at 126 to 12586: July % higher to un- changed at 127% to 127; Oct, % higher to % lower at 125% to 24%; Oats May % higher at 04, July % lower at 63%; Oct changed tn 14 lower at 607% bos, NEW YORK High Low 41% | Stock { Br, A, Of Braz, . | Can, 1st 87 Can, Brd, Cty, Dry, | Dis, Bgrm, 04 | Gypsum 25 24 | Hr.
