Tommy lose* hope until he gets the idem I patting on a benefit show for it* kids in Dornan Street Settle- ment, in order to send them to the country. It will be a big pub- licity boost for him and put him in solid with Penny Morris, his girl. But when Penny learns that it's all for selfish reasons, she walks out on him. Then Jonesy ffers Tommy a chance to be in tke show, but when the Settle- Bent children give him a watch which they have bought with their nickels and dimes, in order to show him their appreciation he decides to stay and get the bene- fit on somehow. He and Penny make up and now he is on his way to tell Jonesy that he can't come to Philadelphia to be in the new musical. CHAPTER SIX (Conclusion) Tommy and Penny burst into Jonesy's office a bit later and without even stopping to say "hello", Tommy told her of his decision. Ending up, he sighed. "It even sounds crazy to me when I say it but . . . that's the way H is." Jonesy looked up from her desk. "Well, I guess I'll have to return these railroad tickets then." Her eyes were soft as she looked at him. "So you're turning down a great opportunity like this for a bunch of kids that you hardly know." Tommy ran his tongue over his dry lips. He was suffering visi- bly. A FAMOUS BRAND Aden's FINE CUT One of the largest herda in Canada in its time, as many u 14,000 head of cattle bore this famous brand of the old Oxley Ranch, founded In Alberta In 1902 by the late W. R. Hull. HAND OF THf OXLEY RANCH ISSUE 12 '42 Then io&ey smiled. "Helping people can bqi". pretty hard work, can't it? . SuCdon't worry, you'll find out it's, -worth while at the oddest times and the strangest places." She added abruptly, "How soon can you get your show together. Tommy ?" "Huh? Our show? About ten days. But we need a theatre." Jonesy wrote out a memoran- dum. "That's no problem any more. You're getting the Old Duchess . . . and for free. It'll be Thornton Reed's contribution to the cause. He doesn't even have to know about it" Now, as Tommy took the keys and the memo he was jubilant. "Gee, it's wonderful. I don't know what to say." "Don't say anything," Jonesy returned brusequely. "Get start- ad with the show. And make it good. Thornton Reed doesn't know it yet and he won't know until I get ready to tell him but he's going to see your show in his theatre from the very front row." Tommy's mouth fell open. "Golly." Then he came to. "But Miss Jones won't Mr. Reed be angry ?" She smiled back grimly. "It's very likely and that's why it bet- ter be good; or else I'll wind up in the country along with the rest of the kids." * * * Opening night came, the house was full and in between putting on makeup Tommy shouted last minute instructions to the stage- hands and electricians. Finally, the overture started. Then, all at once there was Penny in her moonbeam costume and Tommy stared at her in awe. "Gee, I shoulda sent you an extra dozen of roses." She smiled tenderly. "One rose would have been enough . . . from you." She went on, "Tommy one* you told me I'd be dancing on top of the world. Well tonight, I'm all filled up with things I've been saving to say to you but now that the time is here . . ." The overture was starting. She dimpled. "... I think I'll just go on saving "em." It was almost time for the open- ing act. But where was Jonesy? Tommy had looked out and seen that she wasn't in the audience. Then he spied her in the wings. "Tommy," she said lurrying to him, "I'm terribly sorry." He gulped. "You moan Mr. Heed won't be here? But you . .' "Yes I know I promised you but Tommy I just couldn't ass him. The poor guy is going crazy in Philadelphia. The show isn't doing any business. They're re- writing, recasting and on top o> that he's twisted his ankle. 1 had to sneak out of town myself." He closed his eyes. "Ohh." Penny had overheard it. "Never mind Tommy we'll do the show and it'll be great and he'll hear about It, somehow, I know. 1 ' Tommy nodded and got a firm grip on his courage. Then he turned to the boys and girls. "All right everybody. For the first time in years the curtain is going up on the Old Duchess Theatre. Let's make 'em glad they didn't tear it down. Places." * * * Then the performance was on and from the very first Tommy knew their audience was with them. It was there in the air like electricity. The show was in the groove. Everybody was giv- ing and so was the audience, with both hands and whistles and cheers. The first act curtain had just gone down when suddenly a biff husky fellow confronted Tommy back stage. "You Tommy Williams?" Tom- my nodded. "Wai, I'm Inspector Moriarty. And I'm here to tell you Mr. Ziegfeld, you ain't puttie 1 on any more show tonight." The guy must be crazy! Then Tommy bristled. "Who says we aren't putting on a show?" Moriarty was cruelly airy about it 'all. "The State a' New YorV, the City a' New York, the Board a' Health and the Fire Commis- sion. You can't lock people up in this fire trap. This theatre's been condemned for fifteen years." Tommy was dazed. He began to plead. "Look Mr. Moriarty you can't do this, you can't stop the show. Fifty little kids that never saw the sunlight . . ." But Moriarty couldn't be mov- ed. "I know all about the kids," he shouted, fighting against his own better nature, "and I got a mother too but if that audience ain't out of this theatre in fifteen minutes I'll have to call the Eighth Precinct." Tommy knew then there was no hope at all. Quietly, he went to the footlights, explained things to the audience and told them they could get their money back at the box office. Within the allotted time, they had filed out and Tommy sat in his dressing room with Penny, eat- ing his heart out. "Well," he said bitterly, "we all did our best and where did it get us? Right out in left field. Sure, never mind yourself. Just help people, be Santa Claus, make sacrifices and if you keep on liku that every day of your life you oughta be a big auccess when you're about a hundred and sixty years old." Penny was almost weeping. "Oh Tommy you don't mean that." He cut in savagely. "You bet I do. Faith, Hope and Charity. Well, you can wrap those three up in cellophane and give 'em back to the Indians. From now on it's the old rules. I'll get an- other crack at it and when T do, watch out brother. I take any- body for anything, anywhere." He stopped as the door burst open and Barbara Jo tore in. "Oh Mr. Williams." she screeched hap- pily. "It's wonderful. It's mar- velous. Nobody took their money. And they all even gave some. They said that what they saw of the show was so good, it was worth it. Aren't you glad? Aren't you happy?" Tommy was slowly digesting this, when he heard a man's voice outside, loud in argument with Jonesy. "I never came across such a thing in my life," he was saying furiously. "Jonesy you had a hand in this. I have a hundred thous- and dollar turkey in Philadelphia and what do I get? Fire Commis- sion . . . Board of Health . . . Police Commission . . . warrants for my arrest." "I'm sorry Thornton." Jonesy was desperate. "It's all my fault. But no harm has been done . . ." "No harm," he raged. "1 get into town unexpectedly and they treat me as if I were a criminal. I thought they were crazy. A show in my own theatre and 1 don't even know about it . . ." It was just at that point that Penny stepped up. "Oh Mr. Reed. I'm so glad you came," she said breathlessly. "They said we couldn't do our show because it's against the law to have an audi- ence. But there's no law against doing it for you. You're not an audience, you didn't pay admis- sion.'' Reed crumpled his hat in fury. "Now she's trying to sell me a ticket." "Oh no Mr. Reed." She was shoving him out front and to a seat, at the same time making frantic signals to Tummy. "Dear Mr. Reed, we spent weeks and weeks and they gave us just ev- erything. All we want you to do is sit." Jonesy was grinning, getting the idea. Reed, still bellicose, yelled, "I've got enough trouble without amateurs, I tell you." Penny was ready to bop him one if that would do it. "They aren't amateurs, they're wonder- ful. Just wait. In one minute there'll be more talent on that stage than in the whole town of Philadelphia." And then, confirming her words, the orchestra crashed into music, the curtain went up and the show started. At first it was slow. Then the pace picked up and as Thornton Reed sat there, viewing one act after another, he was the most en- thralled theatrical producer in New York. The sure instinct that had put him where he was told him he was looking at another miracle a sure Broadway stage hit! Thornton's approval seemed to waft itself over the footlights and standing there in the grand finale, Tommy took Penny's hand. "Three words this time," he whispered. "I love you." His face was bright as a torch. He hail made his dreams coim- true. He had found the ina^ic of the Great White Way. And hi-*; of Nil, with Penny's help, he h:i<l done it with honor and din-en -y. He might be a successful ju-ior now but he was proiulvst of all. that he was a man!

CHAMBERS Adventures In Economy The homemaker going to mar- ket with her basket over her arm to seek health and nourishment for her family haa probably fewer coins in her purse than last year. Swollen budgets are a challenge to her ingenuity for it takes careful planning and clever man- ipulation to arrange wholesome but attractive meals when dollars are scarce. Wise choice must be made, as one ponders before attractive fruits and vegetables. The quart of milk allowed for each child need not all be fresh milk; evap- orated milk will do for many things in cooking. Cereals are of the least expensive foods. They furnish a large supply of energy for the amount of money invest- ed. Whole grain cereals are also a source of minerals, vitamins and bulk, and are necessary when the amount of fresh fruits and vegetables has to be decreased. From the standpoint of food value, fruits and vegetables are very similar. Vegetables may b made to serve double duty. Raw cabbage is a good source of Vita- min C. Oranges, onions, turnips, parsnips and carrots are all ex- cellent sources of food value and minerals. Dried fruits, peas and beans are just as nourising as fresh ones and are usually cheaper. Also they cost leas in bulk than in fancy packaged varieties. Care should be taken to supply bulk in the form of whole grain cer- eals ami the cheaper raw veget- ables. Bananas are one of the most nutritious fruits and when fully ripe are easily digested by old and young. END OF THE WAR Baked Onions For baking onions, choose a large mild-flavored variety. Cut the onions in half crosswise and simmer in slightly salted water until about half done. Lift the unions out and arrange in a bak- ing dish (if they do not stand up easily, they may be baked in muf- fin tins). Remove the centres without disturbing the outer layers. Chop the onion centres and add to the stuffing described below. Fill the onion shells with this mixture; cover and bake in a moderate oven for about one- half hour, or until the onions are tender. Remove the cover from the baking dish during the last of the cooking so that the onions will brown well on top.

Having No Car Means All This Sort of Economy That Will Beat Germans ?.ays The St.- Thomas Times-Journal Tlu> last pi-.sst-iiger oar until rlli' war is over was completed a few days ago at General Molars plant, Oshawa. There are probably no passenger automobiles be-ing made In Canada today. Very near the. same situation exists in the Unit- ed States.

Their only conso- lation is that the-re will be more repair work on ears while the war IB on. and that after tie war tueru will be an unprecedented boom in the auto business. These restric- tions are necessary, however, to enable us to win the war. He-re- are some facts which the United States War Productions Boards asks the public to note: For every 24 autos we are not making this year we save steel and rubber enough for a single 27-ton medium tank.
