O'BRIEN RESCUE AND REUNION CHAPTKR XIV A faint hope, or perhaps only a sorrowful curiosity, prompted Clyde Dawson to telephone the port commander who had told him of Carole Fiske's disappearance aboard the torpedoed steamer Fort Glengarry. "Captain," he said, "I recall that the girl I'm hunting was given accommodation in a cabin A GAY DOLL WARDROBE By Anne Adamt Attention, Mrs. Santa Glaus!

"She was brought to the St. John's General Hospital," the naval officer replied. "Let me call the hospital and find out if she is able to see you. I'll ring you back." With permission of the head doctor, the commander arranged a short interview with the sur- viving woman passenger. Dawson found her waiting for him in the sun porch. Pausing only to con- gratulate her on being saved, he asked if she knew Carole Fiske. "Yes, she shared the cabin with me ... in fact" the woman's voice, lowered to a whisper "I wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for Carole Fiske. When the torpedo hit I was asleep in my bunk . . . the horrible crash woke me, and .the next moment the ship listed heavily to starboard. It was ter- rible . . . the lighting system was destroyed and the portholes were scaled for blackout, so we were in utter darkness. I heard people screaming, then I must have fainted ... I have a had heart anyway. "They told me later that Carole dragged me from the cabin through the passageway and onto the deck. When I came to, a sailor was helping her lift me into a lifeboat. Just then the ship listed worse than ever. They barely shoved the lifeboat clear when the ship keeled over. Car- ole" the woman's voice broke "Carole didn't have time to climb in. She was probably too ex* hausted. If I had only kept my senses ... if I hadn't been ill, she might . . ." The woman covered her faca with her hands. Dawson, with- out a word, rose to his feet and walked slowly from the ward. For the second time within an houi he walked unseeing through the wintry streets of St. John's, need- lass of direction, of traffic and of passers-by. Clyde Dawson had seen death so often, had barely escaped it himself with only the fatalistic second thought that it was part of his job. But Carole Fiske . . . pert, keen-witted, smart- ly dressed . . . her moments of <juiet concern about Darwin I.*- moy . . . Carole Fiske, out thcra in the hMzznrd-blown Atlantic graveyard in the dark of night. . . And all because he had played the cagey, cocksure investigator too long. A word from him and she would have still been here. Dawson's aimless steps had led him liack to the Newfoundland Hotel. Wearily he mounted the circular stairway to the main lobby. As hi- passed the desk the clrrk hulled him. "Naval hcn<l<|imrte.rs has been calling you, Mr. I>awson it's GROWN IN SUNNY, SOUTHERN ONTARIO most urgent, they say. I'll hav you connected by phone." The captain 'came on the line Immediately. "I've been trying to find you, Dawson . . . damn good news, my boy! An American flying boat spotted three people on a raft, made a landing in a heavy sea and brought them back to the American naval base. . . ." "The girl?" Dawson's voice was tense. "She's one of the three and her condition is reported satis- factory, although she is suffering from exposure. I figured you'd want to rush down there, so I had them hold a corvette that was about to sail for Halifax. Hurry to the Dock ward Pier. . ." * Carole Fiskc looked surprising- ly well when Dawson entered the women's section of the Naval Hospital. Her eyes widened as he walked quickly to her bedside and clasped her hand. "If ever I prayed in my life," he said with emotion, "I'll pray tonight to thank God for this miracle." She started to speak but Daw- Ron made a motion for her to re- main silent. "There is little possibility of you ever forgiving me for mis- judging you, but we investigators often do that until . . ." "Investigator?" the worts fell heavily from her lips. "Yes, Carole. I am a member of the Canadian Intelligence De- partment. The entire py ring has been cleaned up in co-opera- tion with the F. B. I. There are many unfortunate details of which I must inform you eventually, but . . ." "My brother?" "He is dead." There was a pause. Then she took a deep breath. "And Darwin?" "Darwin is also" Dawson's eyes met her burning stare frank- ly "dead. Hut he was a very brave man and, whatever his past connections, he did your country and mine a great service. There are heroes who die in unglamor- ous settings, but they are heroes nonetheless. You see, Carole, I, too, liked Darwin very much. . ." "We were to be married that was what he meant by being sorry to miss the reunion," she said in dull monotone. She was made of good stuff. Not a tear only a cloud of sad- ness on her brow. She had obvi- ously anticipated bad news, but this was a harder blow than she could possibly have expected. "There is only one thing more, 1 ' Dawson said. "No matter how hard it is, please try to wipe this sorry business from your mind. Don't try to probe for the full story. It is now a war secret and besides, you know the most im- portant thing of all that Dar- win redeemed himself nobly and loved you as he should. . . ." Carole Fiske looked at Dawson strangely. "You are so different now. There is a kindness about your way of bringing this awful news that has taken away a lot of its sting. I always felt guilty about the night in Chicago when you were almost shot . . . they over- heard my phont. call to you on the extension and forced me to go with them." Dawson nodded. "1 had lur- mised as much. Now" he held out his hand "will you pleas* forgive me for all try boorish- ness?" With a sad smile, she took his hand. Dawson turned to go, but she called him back. Carole had raised herself In th* bed, leaning' on one elbow. Her beautiful black hair, still showing signs of salt water, fell to her shoulders. "But, Clyde" there was gome- thing of alarm In her voice "what shall I <!,.> now? Will they let me go bnfk . . . should I ec . . ." She suddenly seemed a lonely and badly frightened girl. Daw- ion answered quietly: "Would you prefer if I waited for you to get well and take you back home, Carole?" The girl's brow cleared and gratitude showed in her eyes. "I would be most thankful. This ... all this . . . has left me feeling as if 1 were in n strange, baffling world. And besides" she smiled wanly "I've rather grown accustomed to having you around." THE END Plastic Wood Plane In Crash Landing Flown by Test Pilot Frank Fisher, one of Canada's new Mos- quito fighter-bombers, made of the new plastic plywood, crashed near Malton, Out., only slightly damaging fuselage and propellers. Officials said the small damage bears out claims that the plastic plywood construction of the Mos- quito and similar aircraft in vir- tually as strong ns all-mrtiil ma- j chines. j VICTIM OF MOB Jacques Doriot, the radical pro- Nazi French leader of Paris, is reported Jo have died, presumably of injuries received in a beatTng suffered at the hands of a mob which attacked him recently. Dor- iot reportedly was planning to oust Laval and rule France with a private anny of 2,000 thugs enrolled from the streets of Paris. The Winter Care Of House Plants Nowhere is one likely to find better home-grown geraniums, be- gonias, African violets, crassulas and many other plants than in the farmhouse without a central heat- ins: plant. Cooler rooms, with their moister atmosphere, are part- ly responsible. Calceolarias, freesias, ciner- arias, azaleas, cyclamen, daffo- dils, tulips and other flowering bulbs are among the plants that may be expected to thrive and give better results in the cooler temperatures, provided, of course, that the individual requirements of light and moisture are supplied. Most cacti and succulents, con- trary to popular belief, will not suffer from cold night tempera- tures. In the desert they are ac- customed to a sudden drop of sev- eral degrees at night. Many of the old stand-bys, philodendrons, sansevierias, Eng- lish ivy, tradescantias, pandanus, aspidistras, kentias and the like, can withstand fluctuations of tem- perature. Careless Gossip A guest said recently, upon leaving: "I like to come here. It's the one place I can say anything I want to, knowing it won't go further." The compliment should really have gone to my mother, Constance Cameron writes in Reader's Digest. One day when I was about ight, I was playing beside an open window while Mrs. Brown confided to my mother a serious problem concerning her son. When Mrs. Brown had gone, my mother, realizing I had heard everything, aid: "If Mrs. Brown had left her purse here today, would we give it to anyone else?" "Of course not," I replied. Mother continued: "Mrs. Brown toft something more precious than her pockethook today. She left a itory that could make many people unhappy. That story is not ours to give to anyone. It is till hers, even though she left it here. So we shall not give it to anyone. Do you understand?" I did. And I have understood ver since that a confidence or a bit of careless gossip which a friend has left at my house is his not mine to give to anyone. Japanese Planes Less Formidable Dulled States experts now re- port that the Japs no longer are giving a first rate performance In the air. Something seems to have gone wrong. They are less formidable than at the start of the war. Thte la evident in two wnys, both highly significant for the future.

SIZE MAKES 100 CUPS Empire Waiting To Be Opened Up Most Alberta people know that the territory which lies between Edmonton and the shores of the Arctic is one of the richest unde- veloped areas on the face of the globe, says The Calgary Herald. What they ought to realize is tfoat this territory, through the exigencies of war, is being opened up. The Alaska highway, built by the skill and sweat of Americans, is cuttinp through this great dark land. When the war ends, the lid of the treasure-box will be lifted. What will be found inside, few men know, but most of them can guess by what has been found up there already. The north is rich beyond all telling. The highway was not built to help Alberta. It was built to de- fend America against the Japan- ese, and to build stepping-stones into Japan Itself. But, because the highway has been built, Alberta will invariably draw great benefits from it.

A fine, upstanding folk, the sun-tanned Maori of that dominion, equal In citizenship with the whites; superior to most in physque. As football players they are hard to beat. AB law- yers, orators, army officers, they excel. Knighted, they remain proud of their tattooed ancestors. They held out for years against the Bnglish and were at last pacified but not conquered. Once they had a company of colonists surrounded In a stockade and helpless for lack of ammunition. They raised a flag of tru.ce and said, "This one-elded battle Is no good. We will divide our powder with you." They call New Zealand "The Long White Cloud." 9o H looked to them In the old days when they were sea rangers. TABLE TALKS SADIE B. CHAMBERS Cranberries Cranberries are a splendid fruit. The iron content is very valuable and then they do give a zest to most any menu. Of course they require a good deal pf sweeten- ing, but remember corn syrup and honey and I think you will get along alright. For years women have been discovering the versatility of the cranberry and thanks to more sei- ntific ways of growing and mar- keting, the cranberry appears in the early Fall and remains throughout most of the winter. Appetizers To begin with for the first course the bright color of the cranberry is most appealing. The cooked and sweetened juice, chill- ed, may be used alone or mixod with pineapple juice, or with ginger ale. Another colorful appetizer is grapefruit sections with red cran- berry juice poured over them. Care should be used in the cooking. Many cooks do overcook the cranberry. Five minutes after they begin to snap is usually the time. Cranberry Snow ^4 cup thick cranberry sauce, strained egg .vhites Beat the egg whites until stiff but not dry. Fold in the sauce or cranberry jelly, a little at a time, and continue beating until the mixture will hold its form. Pile in individual serving dishes and icrvc with chilled custard, flavored with vnnilla extract. Use the 2 egg yolks, IMj cups milk and sugar to taste to make tho custard. Cranlierry Sherbet H cup sweetened condensed milk 1 tablespoon lemon juice 2 tablespoons incited butter ^4 cup thick cranberry juice 1 cup cranberry sauce 8 egg whites Blend the condensed milk, lemon juice, butter and cranberry juice.

Steamed Cranberry Pudding 2 cups cranberries 1 \ cups sugar 1 cup water ' teaspoon nutmeg 2 cups sifted pastry f!our 2 teaspoons baking povder H teaspoon salt % cup butter 1 egg 2 tablespoons milk Few grains cinnamon Wash and pick over cranberries.

Add the cran- berries; cover and simmer gently until they arc clear und transpar- ent. Pour this into the bottom of a shallow pan about 8 by 8 by 2 and sprinkle with nutmeg. Sift together flour, baking powder, salt and remaining sugar. Work in the shortening until the mixtur* is crumbly; add egg and milk, beaten together. Spread batter on top of the cranberries.
