With Kay's factory leased to the gov- ermnent for the duration of the Bwrcency, afce and Ted, Joe Beaton, chemist, Mary Marshall, nar aocretary, aad Mike Flynn. lawyer, take a vacation. The last igbt at the resort Ted sees Kay UM Jo, assumes they are in love. IB reality, Joe has just told Kay tkat he and Mary Marshall plan to marry. Ted assumes that his Intarot in Kay is unreturned Kay, the girl he had met over wat adi on a park bench and binaed to love in the weeks they wevJked together. * CHAPTER XI TED: Please let us hear from you. Worried. Kay. Kay danced down the dock to the canoe. Joe and Mary were to b married! Tomorrow, may- k*. If Ted they could make It * doable wedding Ted should be waiting for her. She had promised henelf this last Moonlight canoe trip, planning an Id**! letting for his proposal. There had been other opportuni- ties, she recalled, but Ted had raded them. That last night in toe plant She was sure he in- tended asking her then, but she had wanted a mere romantic set- ting. She wondered when Joe had aaked Mary. That first night at the lake, or at the dance. She decided it must have been at the dance. Mary had adored Joe ever rinc he came to the factory, she had confessed, but she was will- ing to tarn him in M a spy. Kay wondered if the would have pos- staaed such courage. And Joe, dear old Joe. If she aad had a brother, Kay would have wanted him to b just like Joe Benton. Big, successful, un- derstanding. She owed everything to Je. If be hadn't ipilled that aid, they might never have known all about Wondrosoap. Where was Ted? Sorely he wouldn't break their iMt date at the lake. He might have been delayed in town, get- ting the car serviced for the trip ROMANCE home. She would wait. * Flynn called her outside early the next morning. "Just what did you say to that boy last night, Kay?" he demanded, almost stern- ly. "You've been leading him on, making him think he had a chance. There was no cause to hurt him that much." "What are you talking about, Mike? I didn't see Ted last nipht. I waited on the dock until after midnight. He didn't show up. He's the one who will do the apologizing." "You didn't see him?" Flynn was bewildered. "He stormed in the house about 10, packed his things and left, before I knew what he was doing. He seemed sore about something." "He's gone? He didn't say goodby?" Kay could hardly be- lieve it Not Ted. He couldn't leave her like this. Without a word of explanation. Without asking her The final blow came later. A couple of youngsters, swimming near the diving raft, saw a gleam of shining metal under water. But the treasure they retrieved was not the gold they had imagined, but a shining doorknob. Kay heard them yelling outside the cottage, ran out to see for herself. She recognized it in- stantly. "He took it from the plant he kept it now he's thrown it away." She ran back to her room, threw herself on the bed. "I never want to see him, or that doorknob again," she sobbed. "Never!" But she took time to hunt up the youngsters and buy the door- knob for a 'dollar before she left the lake. * Mike Flynn paced the length of his office, turned, faced Kay. "Now stop your worrying, Katie girl," he said tenderly. "The lad will see this ad and come a- running. He should be telephon- ing any minute now." He bit down fiercely on a stub of a cigar, resumed his pacing. "Th young idiot!" "Ted's no idiot!" Kay defended. "It was all my fault. He must have seen me kiss Joe, and then he thought " The tears were freed again. "Ric* Krispiee" ia a regis- tered trade mark of Kellogg Company of Canada Limi- ted, for its brand of oven- popped rice. Getsome today I "So what?" Flynn demanded. "If a girl loved me like yon lova this this I'd be willing to fight for her. I wouldn't let any col- lege professor run away with my girl" "I never told Ted I loved him. I wanted everything to be 'strict- ly business' I've made him think I care for Joe " The telephone jangled. Both grabbed for it. Mike took the call. It wasn't Ted. It was Mary. "We're postponing the wed- ding," she said. "Joe is taking a leave of absence until you locate Ted. We'll arrive on the after- noon plane." * There were no clews. Ted had simply dropped out of sight. The telegrapher at Lake Olivara had sold him a ticket to Chicago, but there the trail ended. Mike hired private detectives, even notifie3 the police, but Ted could not be found. To Kay, the days and nights were torture. She recalled every- thing Ted had said. That kiss at the plant, when Wondrosoap waa their big dream. She couldn't even go back to the plant to recapture any mem- ories. A high steel fence sur- rounded the factory now; soldiers guarded the gate. She didn't have a single can of Wondrosoap. All she had was a shining door- knob. Joe and Mary tried to find new interests for her to help her for- get Ted and fai'.ed utterly. Kay pretended to enjoy the parties and dinners they arranged, but the foursome was not the same with- out Ted. All the fun was gor.e. Then the telegram came. It was brief, to the point: "Saw your ad in hometown paper. Am okay. Uncle Sam's Army turned me down. Bum ticker. Maybe Canada can use me." It was signed "Ted." "He might at least have added 'Love'." Flynn grumbled. "Would- n't have cost him much." "If he goes to Canada where will he cross the border?" Kay aaked. "Any place in a couple 01 thou- sand miles," Flynn snorted. "But he'll probably go either to Detroit or Niagara Falls. Joe, you and Mary try Detroit. Kay, we'll take the plane to Buffalo." The big airliner seemed to crawl through the air. Kay's thoughts raced ahead. What If they were too late? What if Ted had already enlisted? She would wait, she knew, always. What tf ? The stewardess tapped her shoulder. "Fasten your safety belt, please, we're landing." Mike hurried the remaining miles to Niagara, installed Kay in a hotel. "We'll check in at the recruit- ing office first. Ask them to notify all other offices. Don't fret, Katie, we'll find the boy." She made Mike go alone. Some- thing a hunch, perhaps kept her from going with him. She walked from the hotel to the Falls. Even Niagara's magnifi- cence left her unmoved. Honeymooners come here, she thought Happy brides and grooms. She was alone. She sat on a park bench. Across the walk a man glanced at her. He would speak to her in a minute, if she didn't stop staring. She picked up a newspaper, but she couldn't read the headlines. She did not see him come down the walk, didn't notice him sit *. the far end of the bench. Th man across the walk shuffled his feet. Kay looked up. "TED!" "KAY!" His arms wove around her, his kisses on her lips. "Ted! Why? Why did you leave?" she whispered. He kissed her again. There would be time for explanations later. The man across the walk left, abruptly. (Concluded Next Week) Moving In Britain Has Its Problems Finding a new home is only one of the worries for housewife who has to change residence in Britain during wartime. Once the new home is found there's the business of curtains for the windows. It will probably cost more clothing coupons to get new curtains than the housewife has to keep herself clad all year. Then conies the question of car- pets in case, as is likely, the old ones won't fit the new house. Prices are sky high for carpeting. So to buy new ones is out of the question and cutting up of old but serviceable ruvr? is considered waste. Kefvigerators and stoves add to the worry. You just can't buy them though th^y can be rented. But if all these diffi- cuitic'-i are overcome there's still one more left the a.-trrl mov- ing. A "rush" jcb is one t'~at is done in six weeks. Xoot r.:over just aren't in the moving busi- ness any more. TABLE TALKS SADIE B. CHAMBERS Substitutes For Meat As a patriotic duty we are asked to eat less meat for finan- cial reasons many will find this necessary. No harm will come to anyone if those who prepare the meais are careful to substi- tute protein. It is the proper balance of protein in our diet that counts, not how much meat we eat or do not eat. Protein foods, _as you know, are meat, eggs, peas, beans and cheese. Gelatine contains a little protein, as also does milk. Here are a few recipes which might help. Ca*role of Vegetable* Make alternate layers in a cas- serule of half a dozen thinly sliced raw potatoes, a small turnip, cut hi cubes, half a pint of tinned peas and the same of tinned to- matoes, a sliced onion and two ounces of washed and uncooked rice; season as you go with salt, pepper and powdered allspice. Pour in a quart of good vege- table stock, and cook with a lid on in a slow oven until the rice is done, about 3 hours. Carrot Pie Cook 4 large carrots or their equivalent into small ones and while they are still hot cut them in slices and put in a greased pie- dish. Bring a pint of milk to the boil; stir into it a cup of bread crumbs seasoned with pepper and salt ami 4 ounces of grated cheese. Mix with a weil-beaten egg- Pour this over the carrots and brown in a moderate oven. Mould of Spinach Sieve pound of cooked spin- ach and whip into a pint of lime or lemon jelly (prepared with jelly powder). Turn into a round buttered mould, putting a tumb- ler down the middle. When tht spinach is set. take out the tumb- ler, which will be easy to do if you pour a little hot water into it Fill up the space with chopped hard boiled egg mixed with salad dressing and seasoned with a little onion and ceiery. Turn out when get and garnish with ring of hard boiled egg. Chee.e Tart Line a small pie tin with rich ruit and bake. When it is cold prepare the following: One-half pound of grated cheese, two well beaten egg yolks and three-quar- ters pint of cream or very rich milk. Season with salt, pepper and a touch of cayenne. Bake in oven for a quarter of an hour. The top will be a beautiful gold and the inside delicious. Cucumber Fritter* Peei the cucumbers (large ones) and cut in one inch lengths. Remove the centre part and blanch the- pieces in salted water. Drain them well, and when they re cold stuff with a savoury stuffing, leasoned breadcrumbs or cheese creamed. Dip the rounds in egg and then in bread crumbs and fry in clarified butter. Serve with fried parsley garnish. HUM ^ u.im.i. i- - !' i-i,", peraoaal letter* front laterexed reader*.

Her* are tips that will help those rugs and carpets last. Rather than going over a rug with the vacuum cleaner once a week for a long period, it is better to use it two or three times in the week for a shorter time. Rug? and carpets should never be beaten; small scatter rugs shouldn't even be shaken. In do- ing this the fibres in the back of the rugs are broken. Spots should be removed from rugs as soon as they are made. Rather than washing or shampoo- ing a valuable rug. it should be sent to a reliable rug cleaning ex- pert who knows how to give it the proper attention. Hugs should never be laid on a rough uneven surface as it will cause them to wear out very quickly. A pad, or even news- papers, placed under a rug will lengthen its life.
