Indeed, ; she was seldom out® She was ted, writing letters on the pale uve notepaper on which was her own initial in gold. Uncle Dick was there, too, seated at his writ- ing table, his thick hands busy among papers, the thick whorls of smoke sliding from between his His large iron-grey hand- some head turned toward the door as. she entered. U"Well, well, Ginnie dear. Kiss ybur old uncle." 2 "Did you have a lovely time, darling?" asked Aunt Lou. ""Yes. Lovely. Thank you very much, Aunt Lou." "And where's Jerry?" asked Aunt Lou. "Oh, the police--" Uncle Dick's hands were sud- denly motionless on the papers. "--the police summoned us for speeding on Friday. They're talk- ing to him in the hall." cle Dick rose from his chair. His eyes were a little protuberant as he said, "Ah? Speeding again?" Strange, thought Ginnie, how since this morning one knew fear so well. It came at the slightest sign--at, for instance, Uncle Dick's| i low voice or even--now at dear Jerry's eptrance. ~~ 'Jerry closed the door. Slowly, he walked over to the window and stood with his back to it. His face was still white. He didn't look at His sister, "You don't seem very cheery, dear," said Aunt Lou. "Is anything wrong?" "Just this." Jerry took a ciga- rette from his case with fingers t weren't perfectly steady. ust this: Ginnie, this morning, @innie's got to be to "Was there danger?" ncle Dick.

Ginnie thought of her mother's gentle face as it was in the tiny photograph that she possessed. But politely she shook her head. "That's right," said Aunt Lou, "I knew you realized it. Now, some things may seem a bit--well, we'll say difficult to take in, just at first. But after all, what you have to remember is, many a girl of your age is washing up behind a counter instead of staying at Bellage's Hotel and country houses and hunting and all that. You re- member it. "Yes," said Uncle Dick. "And don't get your opinions too cut and dried. You'll find life isn't a story book and people don't behave as if it were. And---one more thing. Don't do anything sudden. It might be unhealthy for--others as pel as for you, dear. Come along, u." The door shut on him and on his wife and. on the menacing rumble of his words. Ginnie' gave Jerry a tremulous smile, Her unheeded cigarette had, in these last minutes, gone out. She lit another, trying to ap- pear careless, trying to make things easier for him, He had a sulky air--ready to fly off at a tangent--to fly out at anything. Poor Jerry, She tried to foresee what he might be going to tell her, and at once she saw his face as it had been this morning on the stairs at Wanderslay. "C-come on, Jerry," she said. "It can't be so bad if we're in it to- gether." "Can't it?" He laughed a little, jamming his hands in his pockets. "Oh, help me, Jerry," she might have begged him then, as she watched him aimlessly fidget with the blotter on the table. But she was saying to herself, "I can take "Oh, well," he began. "You see, Ginnie, the trouble with you is, your ideas are bound to be--as Uncle Dick was hinting just now --a bit too copybook." He took out a cigarette snd lit it. The action seemed to soothe him. Once more, so handsome, he wore the man-of- the-world air that she had always admired. "It's not your fault, of course," he said. "At the sort of schools we went to, there's no op- portunity of learning what life is." "No, Jerry. . .." Oh, please God, what was going to tell her? Perhaps that they were all ruined; that there was no more money? Well, hadn't she seen--in that more solid atmosphere of Wan- derflay that Uncle Dick and Aunt Lou herself and Jerry were "rather here - today - and - gone - tomorrow"? And suddenly, be- cause of a vague fear, she knew that she would be glad if Jerry after all had only to tell her that they were penniless. i "Mind you," he was saying, "I'm not running down Harton. You t the education of a gentleman ere. And you meet the right people; and----and it's darned use- "Yes." "Listen, Ginnie." He made an attempt at a laugh. "The world's "a bit like Bellage's restaurant. We gine and OO looks pretty good, don "I think some of them look beastly." "Oh, hell!" said Jerry, with sud- den irritability, "don't fakg me up like that. Sorry. What I mean is, they look good an' respect- able, don't they? Otherwise they wouldn't be there, That's what you think, But actually half of them are sharks. They've got to the top--able to dine at Bellage"s and own a Rolls and so .on---just by doing down the other feller. Look at the fat brokers that push dud shares and the company = moters and the rest, All of them doing what you'd call a dirty deal every day of their lives. But the difference between me and you is that I don't blame 'em because I know the world and I know they're conforming to an abso- lutely universal law of nature," "The people we met at Wan- derslay," said Ginnie, 'weren't like that." Impatiently Jerry flicked the ash from his cigarette. "Of course if you're born rich," he said, "you don't have to fight. If you're not, you've got to do people down be- fore they do you down, It's simply business. Why," he went on with gathering confidence, "you don't suppose for instance that a man who buys jewels--" It was as if a door were flung open in her mind, letting in an unbearable light. Please stop! Please don't go on! She put out her hands as if to ward something off or as if she couldn't hope to hold time motion- less, . . . To her the room seemed to darken before--with difficulty --she spoke: "Jerry--I know now ~--I don't know how--"" "Well--what do you know?" he asked roughly. "You -- you've been -- made to be--" she stopped "~--you're a thief, aren't you?" There was a very long silence. Her eyes, so dark, now in the pal- lor of her face, were fixed on his. He flung away at last. "Oh, stop staring at me!" he said. Her words came gropingly: "Then--you were just--stealing, last night at Wanderslay? And that was why--" "I don't want to go into all that," said Jerry. "What you've got to realize is that it's just a business, like another. Why," he addressed the flowers on the table, "one takes a risk--not so much as you think--and the return is thou- Makes Appeal For Chest Fund George A. Fletcher, a member of the Oshawa Board of Education spoke on behalf of the Oshawa Community Chest Pund at the Juncheon meeting of the Oshawa Rotary Club yesterday, In asking the members of the Club to be as generous as possible in their contributions, Mr, Fletcher asked them to compare the cost of a basketball court with that of a juvenile court and the cost of a playground compared with a prison workshop.
