"And-do you think you‘ll ever get over the parting from Jill." ., Freda applied some of the prepara- tion and then sat down opposite Mark. "What are you going to do when you leave Stone Town?” she asked. Mark was grateful, and showed it, He was already dreading meeting people who, in some manner, would be sure to have got hold of the story. No doubt Barbour himself was telling ot the episode with glee. "Well, Mark, you look a little better than when I saw you last. See, I've brought something for your eye. It’s wonderful stuff. It won't stop it going a little black, but ir will keep down the swelling." When the lawyer came Jill just ex- plained that she had an idea that her father had left a formula, but she did not let the lawyer connect it with the crime. But though he examined everything in Jasper Merridew's desk, he discovered nothing which resem- bled a formula. C Freda Scores Meanwhile Freda Lane was paying her promised call on Mark Hanson. "Thank you, Miss Jill, but I'm an awkward chap to make things up to, because, you see, I got everything 1 want. It's quite enough tor me to have you smile at me and talk to me when we meet." When he had gone, Jill rang up her solicitor. "I want you or someone very trust worthy to come over here this after- noon and go through my father’s pa- pers. It's very confidential, so per- haps you’ll kindly come yourself. You will? Thank you very much." "Oh, be quiet," said Jill. Then she added more softly. "You know, George I'm glad you’ve told me all this. It's not so much that I want the formula, but it's such a relief to have some theory for all these happenings. I feel like someone who's been relieved of an aching tooth. I'll make it up to you in Lorne way soon." "Dear old George," said Jill senti mentally. "Ah," he said, "that would be tell- ing.

All that talk about writing a book, all the'please to look through her tather's papers might be Just an attempt ot Barbour to secure this precious formula. That he was fond of her in a way she had no doubt, but that had come later, and had probably caught Mr. Barbour una- wares.

Having thus completed her isolation she sat at her window and gazed sor- rowfully across the darkening fields. A feeling of grey loneliness enveloped her. People had been right at the be- ginning. It was not a girl's job to run a farm and stand alone against the world. Yet it looked as though Surveying herself, she could not see one thing about her lite at this mo. ment to give her pleasure. The fact that she knew Mark was leaving did not make Freda’s news any more pal- atable. She could not even ,turn to Phillip Barbour, for George's informa- tion about the formula was sufficient to shatter her dream of the last few days. “Poor old Jill," said Freda. "Oh, by the way, I've put Mark on ,a, lucky patch. Uncle Henry wants an estate agent, and as Mark told me he was leaving Stone Town, I've as good as fixed it up for him. Hope you don't mind." "Mind?" said Jill. "ot course I don't mind. I'm glad you’ve been able to help him." Jill was lying courageously. She felt Mek at heart, and, after parting with Freda, she returned to Stone Town instead of visiting Mark as she intended. She had no wish to hear from Mark what she had already heard from others. It would be more than she' could stand. A little later she wrote to Barbour at Denbridge. Her letter was quite short: "Dear Mr. Barbour, "Thank you," said Jill. "I think I'm about due for a little happiness. I’ve had enough of the other thing lately." 't1've just been to see poor old Mark," she said, “I've been tending his wounds. Your future husband seems to be very good with his fists. By the way, Jill, I must offer my con- gratulations, or whatever one does nowadays when people become engag- ed. I hope you’ll be ever so happy.” At this Freda bummed a little song, as she did when her thoughts beguiled her. What she was thinking was that Jill would be angry, if not jeal- ous, that she had in this way captured Mark, or it came very near' to being capture. As tor Mark, the end of his nose was the limit of his vision. Freda encountered Jill on her way back from Mark's cottage. _ t . "Oh, Freda," cried Mark, "dott't make it so alluring. You make me want to go straight away." . "Anyhow, tell me what you .feel about it," said Freda. "I'm not going to talk to you about the money side of it. You can fix all that up with my uncle. All I will say is that he is not rich, but he is generous." "Very well, then, say I'll be glad to go and see him. And you know, Freda, I simply can't thank you enough." We Hammett! JluelAhireteitui "I've no idea," replied Mark, "but I expect she'll be very glad to hear it." "I know there is," said Freda. “I hope you don’t mind, but I rang up my uncle after you had told me you were leaving. He has seen Stone Town, of course, when he has visited us, so he knew what I was talking about." "And what did he say?" "He said anyone who had run Stone Town as long as you have ought to be the very type of man he wants. 1--u hope you don't mind, but I told him why you were leaving. I didn't want him to think it was on account of your work. Well, Mark, the end of it was that he practically asked me to approach you." , "I can hardly believe it," said Mark. “Nor can I," replied Freda rather cryptically. "It's a lovely place, and you'd have a nice house. I often go down there for week-ends, so I would be able to bring you all sort of books." "Be quiet," laughed Freda. "When shall you break the news to Jill?" t g I Aggy}; _,':"::',':,, Mark opened his eyes wide.

"I'm not far wrong," said Freda, confidently." And now I've something very important to say to you. An uncle ot mine in Shropshire has a big estate. He is my father’s bro- ther, and, as it happens, thinks a great deal of his niece Frega. Well, he wants an estate agent who knows a farm from a, dance floor." Mark looked at her curiqusly.

I think it's a jolly good thing that you've de- cided to leave." T "That's pretty frank, Freda," he said with a smile. "Perhaps you’re right. But I'm not sure that you. are." "Our lawyer has been carefully through my father's papers this at. ternoon and the document You want is not there. I know n0w about the whole plan and am disgusted. I don’t wish to see you ever again, and it you call at Stone Town you will not be admitted. u h...“ a, _ ,Fewb--4 "JILL MERRIDEW." "The representatives of the De.. partment of Agriculture in practi- cally every county in the province have been approached in reference to the purchase of seed grain. In quite a number of counties there is a scarcity of seed grain and in prac- tically every county there are farm- ers without seed grain and without sufficient credit to enable them to secure it. "Due to these extraordinary 'con- ditions it is proposed to ask the county councils to appeal to the banks, and to secure loans under section 88 of the Banking Act for the purchase of seed grain in order to assist those farmers within their municipality who apply to them for help. "In the event of the counties los- ing any money in connection with the repayment of these loans, the Government is prepared to accept two-thirds of the responsibility, pro- viding the municipalities accept one-third." T To assist farmers in the purchase of seed grain, the' Ontario Govern- ment is prepared to accept two- thirds of the responsibility for loans for that purpose according to Hon. T. L. Kennedy, Minister of Agricul- ture, who made the following state- ment: Mark Hanson was still there, for he had promised to remain and look af- ter the farm till Jill was married. Somewhat aloof, these days, he strode about the farm on his duties. To Jill, the sight of him had not lost its old power. Soon he was to go to Freda's uncle, and then, but probably not until then, Jill would find peace, it only in monotony. She rose from her seat and returned to the window which overlooked the farmyard. Old George was there, having come over for a chat with any man he could tis l who had time tp talk. There was one figure absent, and Jill sent him a kindly thought. Larry Luby's poor brain had finally gone, and several months ago he had been removed to the county hospi- tal Farmers to be Aided In Purchasing Seed B- Crrvrio Govt. Much had happened slnce those dark November. days when the shadow ot murder had lain over the farm. Yet little had occurred to make Jill happy. To her it seemed that the farm could never be the same, tor she could not forget the long vexa- tions, the heartbreaks and the fears which had beset her for so long. Least ot alt could she forget the ciru cumstances which had in effect driven her towards marriage with Norgrove. Estimable man; a first-class farmer; but not a lover. And the heart of Jill Merridew craved a lover. The brown fields had turned to green, and the orchards stood mantled with blossom. From a window in the old grey house a girl looked out upon the scene and found it good then she turned trom it and seated herself in a chair. The girl was Jill Merridew, and the time was a few weeks before her mar- riage to Herbert Norgrove.

"Type," said the tall brunette with flashing biack eyes and hair that is as smooth and shiny as polished ebony, "is the password to beauty and personality-The angelic-faced girl with straight brown hair should realize that she is the Madonna type and, no matter how much she longs to be dashing, should arrange her makeup and hair to suit. The same applies to the Spanish type of beauty. And to the wan, willowy miss. Even girls with pugnoses and freckles may be attractive if they'll only admit to being in the 'cute' category andsarry out that line of thought when they de.. eide on a coiffure, a lipstick, a new frock. q "When 1 came to New York six years ago," Miss Sousa said, "I look- ed exactly like hundreds of other as- pirants to the stage. I eouldn't even get a job modelling clothes, to say nothing of one in the theatre. So I decided to make the most of my statuesque appearance, bought a stick of orchid grease paint to make me look pale and interesting,,pinned a large bun on the back of my bobbed head and tucked my short locks up under it. Almost immediately I be- came a type and was flooded with offers from commercial photograph- ers. Later, I was able to get on the stage, and now I've won a beauty prize." Hair is another important consider- ation with her. She uses a hair brush just as the average person uses a comb. Instead of setting aside fifteen minutes for a brushing ritual, she does it while she is putting on makeup, when removing ib--any time at all. Miss Sousa washes her face with soap and water, twice a day, and uses a cleansing cream afterward. her nails are perfectly manicured and she uses cosmetics sparingly though she thoroughly approves of them for all women. "The trouble with most girls," she said, "is that they use too much makeup and often the \irrong shades, at that." A CRISP SALAD Salad should never stand tor a long time after preparing it. It it must be arranged in advance, put the plates right back in the refrigerator until mealtime. There is nothing so uninteresting as a warm, wilted salad. Miss Sousa believes that exercise is important to one who wishes to be healthy and beautiful. She, her- self, takes long walks in the park, rides, swims and plays tennis.

MADE IN CANADA Geneva. - The life of the bee af- fords a much more suitable subject for motion pictures for children than gangster and other "crime films," de- legates to the League of Nations' Child Welfare Committee were told on convening here. . The life of the ant as a symbol of industry was given considerable at- tention in certain reports of the committee members, who are study- ing how educational pictures maybe popularized among young people. The delegates also favored travel films and scenes of "healthy adven- tare." The committee before adjourning also is to consider evidence that count less children could be saved from blindness by better attenlion on 3 part of doctors, midwives and par- ents. Catholic families in England will be joined by the marriage, early this summer, of Ralph Scrape and Lady Beatrice Savile. Mr. Scrope is the second son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Scrope of Danby Hall, Yorshire. Lady Beatrice is the second daughter of the Earl and Countess of Mexborough. Criticism of producers voiced by delegates included charges that films frequently put criminal ideas into young heads and give "young people Amid ideas about love." The delegates felt that although hundreds of thousands of children at- tend the motion picture theatres of the world, the producers in the main neglect this huge clientele by alleg- edly failing to draw upon the litetw. ture for children and young people for movie plots. Other subjects of child welfare to be considered include suppression of information concerning illegitimate children from birth eertifipates, yuad. means for assuring that" young of- fenders do not mix with criminals while in jails awaiting trial. Ot the two families, that of the Scropes has an unbroken male descent from the conquest, if not from the time of Edward the Confessor. The Saviles have retained the earldom granted in 1766. The House of Scrope has no titles now, except those that lie dormant, but between the reigns of Edward II and Charles I the house produced two earls and 20 barons, one chancellor, four treasurers, and two chief justices of England, two bishops, five Knights of the Garter and many a banneret-the highest military order in the days of chivalry. An international film treaty en- couraging producers to make films especially for children, which would be exempt from tariffs, will be con- sidered during the current session, it was learned.
