She vanted to embrace Meridel and theee little ones, tell them they vere safe from tbe terror now, away forever from fear and hun- ger and hate and misery. "Come on, Bonhomme Fricot," said little Roelne to Pol Martin. The old lady stared. Meridel bagbcd, a gay, silvery laugh. "It is a nickname from a game tiiey play. Bonhomme Fricot is a hero of theirs. He is like the Pied Piper. Id reality he was some queer old one who did much good in the vil- lage in France where they refuged, these little ones, after Gratzen was â€" was trampled into the ground. I was in Paris then. By luck I found Pol Martin and Rosine among the lumieless thousands." 4 * • "Bonhomme Fricot," said Rosine gravely, "was shot dead by a Ger- snan soldier. We saw the soldier go into Bonhomme Fricot's house ^d eome cut and we saw Bon- booune Fricot's poor dead body ly- ing there in his hut and then we all had to run, for the Panzers were coming into St. Como and â€" " "Please come, Rosine," said Me- ridel. "And try to forget those Aings." "We will not forget Bonhomme Fricot," said Pol Martin. "Not ever. When we were starving he gave us chocolate. Everyone in St. Guno loved him. He used to teach OS games when we hid from the Stukas â€" and he taught us to sing." They sang the ancient roundelay that madame herself had sung in diildhood, as they marched up- stairs. The thick door of madame's own suite closed on the childish voices. Madame stood in the hall with Ru- dolph and looked at him a moment and smiled and nodded. "It is the best play I was ever in," said old Mimi Fabre, "and the loveliest role I ever enacted." "And I, madame," said Rudolph , with a deep and humble bow, "have never before witnessed such su- perb acting." • • * Madame had moved her intimate possessions, her clothes, her count- less knickknacks and photos to the housekeeper's apartment in the north wing. She went to her new quarters where already she had begun to ar- range her things.

I won't be regimented any longer. Roger can take it, seemingly, and he's wel- come to it. I'm off." And away he was too, that very night, even though she had risen to magnificent heights of invective, threatenings and pleadings. He should never have a cent of her money â€" he didn't want it. His brother Roger should have it aB, he was welcome to it. He was the most ungrateful of nephews â€" he wasn't, but she was the most arro- gant and overbearing of aunts. 4 » ♦ Madame had flung Michel's pic- ture in a trunk that night and tried to put him forever out of her heart. She had heard no word of him in the years between, nor had his brother Roger, who was now with the air force; nor had anyone else. If he had gone to France as he'd planned, perhaps they would never jcnow what had become of him. Wild j'bung devil anyway; volatile, hot-tempered, reckless and devoid of any fear of self-consciousness. The old lady had set his picture in its chrome frame in her dresser and had taken it up to look at it, holding it close to her, when she heard Roger's step on the stairs. She put down the picture hastily, but Roger's dark eyes found it at once. "Forgiven him, Tante Mimi?" "None of your business." She gave him her cheek to kiss. ".\nd why are you sneaking up tlie back stairs?" "You told me to. over the phone â€" don't you remember? I'm the housekeeper's nephew now. What is all this anyway?" "It's Rudolph. He's the Baron Rudi de Morpin. The princess is his niece. He's been letting every- one in this silly little country of his think he owns Philibert and is worth a million. I didn't have the heart to tell these poor, hunted chil- dren that he's only the butler. Ro- ger, it would have bjen cruel to do so. Had you seen them when they first walked into Philibert this evening â€" " "I can imagine," said Roger slowly. He sprawled out in an e.T^y chair, a tall, elegant figure, in the uniform of a fliglit lieutenant. He had been over and back twice. "I'm glad you did it, Tante Mimi. It was like you. I'd never tliink of such a thing. I'd have made a mess of the situation. You and Mike are the ones who think of the fitting thing to do. I'm glad you've for- given Mike â€" it's about time you brought his handsome mug out of the ash can. He was always your favourite, wasn't he?" "That ungrateful, headstrong, ir- responsible â€" " * • • Roger held up his hand.. "He's you all over, that's why the two of you were always fighting. But un- derneath it all, Madame Fabre- Lusignan, Mike was the apple of your eye and you know it. The harder you yelled at him, the loud- er you swore at him, the more you loved him." The old lady scowled fiercely, then blew her nose and grabbed hastily for a cigarette. "You're loo smart, you, Ro~er â€" always were â€" too darned smart." Roger grinned, shook his head. "I'll never be able to outsmart you. Duchess. Now what about the royal guests.? Is the housekeeper's nci'licw periiiiitcd to have a peep at them?" "t'hey are at dinner now. 1 take it you dined liefore you came here?" (To Be toiitinued) You Will Enjoy Staying At The ST. REGIS HOTEL % Kvrry KiiiMii \\\i\% Itiiih.

CHRONICLES of GINGEB FJUM By Gwendoline P. Clarke Life is a queer business. Some- times it is difficult to write be- cause there is so little lo write about; other times it is difficult because there is so much. This is definitely one of those "so ' much" occasions. Even yet it doesn't seem possible that the war in Europe is over. Partner said this- afternoon â€" "I suppose it won't be long now before the boy is home againl" That, too, is hard lo believe. We said good-bye to our son, ileter- Biinedly resigning ourselves to a parting that might stretch out into years. And now it may be a little less than a year before we see him again, .^nd in that we re- alize how extremely fortunate we have been. Naturally we hope our good fortune may continue â€" but â€" we are not out to count our chick- ens yet. • * • Every day brings fresh news from Europe. Goerring captured . . . Quisling on trial . . . and surely the most forgiving souls must be glad that these inhuman ntons-ters will soon meet the fate they so richly deserve. As for Hitler â€" very few people believe even yet that he is dead. I hope he isn't. I hope he is hiding some where, cringing in fear of tlie late that avk-aits him. .^nd oh, how I hope they catch Himmler! Yes, the end of the war in Eur ope, and its far reaching results have occupied our attention so much that it has almost stopped us talking about the weather, .^ny other time we would be saying plenty. Such a spring!

Some, of course, managed to get through â€" that Is on the lighter soilâ€" while a few had to sow over again. * * * And such weather for chickens! Last Thursiday we had another 200 arrive by train. And on that day it snowed again. It wasn't cold enough for snow to settle but what a wet sticky p^th tliere was from the house to the chicken pens. Par- tner finally put boards down â€" and aow I find walking the boards quite a feat in the art of keeping my balance If the boards were over a creek I would have been drowned long ago. Of course the little chickens inside their warm, dry pen, found little to worry about, but the pullets, now seven weeks oUl. and without any artifi- cial heat, looked as if they regret- ted being hatched out to face such a damp, dismal world. * * * However there are other feath- ered friends that we find a little more cheery. To my great joy a pair of bluebirds are nesting near the house. We haven't seen blue birds around here for years. .\n< how I love them! Perhaps it is only because of Maeteerlink's story â€" but I always feel that bluebirds are a good omen â€" that where there are bluebirds there is happiness. That flash of lieavenly bhic among the trees often seems to me like a message of courage and hope straight from Gel. » * ♦ I wish I liked chickens as well as I like bluebirds. Of course 1 just love them when they are small â€" the chickens I mean â€" but after they are about six weeks old there are times when I wish I had never seen a chicken. Will they roost where you want them to? Not a bit of it. Thcf will fill up the roosU in the daytime all right, especially when they take their afternoon nap â€" but they stubbornly avorl anything that looks like a roost at night and bunch up together all over the floor. And if there is one place where they shouldn't be Hist is where you find them. Children and chickens are very much alike in one way â€" the younger they are the less trouble they give. How well I remember my mother say- ing â€" "I wish you children were all in your cradles again â€" you were not half the worry to me when you were small that you are now!" I imagine that feeling will find an echo in a good many other mother hearts. It has done in mine upon occasion. But chickens and child- ren come through that stage â€" and for that we can all be truly thank fal. iBLE TALKS Three Favorites In answer to many requests the Consumer Section, Dominion De- partment of Agriculture, are re- peating three favourite recipes to- day.
