Ginnie didn't Juem at the hope t lay behind that cold question, he only knew of his anger and that it shriveled her. She groped for the truth. The words came to her mind ,"It was because I loved ou--" but they weren't true, She d loved him with all her heart, but in marrying him she had gone against that love. How clearly she saw that now. ..., "Yes," she replied at last. And then, as he didn't speak, "I am very sorry." : "Yes," he answered dryly, "I think you will be sorry." She said, "Please, Kit--" the small husky voice came with dif- ficulty, "~I expect you would like ~to get rid of me, I mean," she swallowed, "I'll go away now. And haps you would divorce me, Kit had not known that he could feel such fury as possessed him. He took one step forward, He seized her by the shoulder, pulling her to her feet, holding her in his arm, He yniled down, his eyes narrowed. "And to whom would you go? To d'Alain?" he asked. "Oh," she murmured. "I hadn't thought , . . perhaps--" she put her hand to her head. "I have told you my family motto, haven't I, Ginnie? "Yes--Kit--" "What is it?" She stared up into his face, as it looking for a little pity, "What wl Hold, I Hold," she whispered at 8 last. "Yes." He held her in his arm. "Look at me," he told her. And then, as the dark lashes still hid her eyes, "Obey me, Ginnie." 42. She looked at him then, and this ' ~ "4ime he asked her no question; He . did not need a reply in words. Not 'caring how she trembled, he looked 'down into thoséw,green eyes. They told him what he Deeded to know, and against his will he believed it. + He took her by the arm. He set her black in the chair and, at what cost to himself it was beyond Gin. nie to know, he erossed the room. He opened the door of his dressing room, closed it behind him an left her. He walked over to the window and stood there as if it were possible to see through the folds of the curtains. He lit a arette as if that small gesture t help him. And all the while he saw Ginnie so vividly--too vividly--her mouth trembling, the frightened eyes. He walked the len of the room and back, dragged the heavy curtains aside and flung up the window. There lay the gardens and the park, the great trees shapely against a starry sky. He didn't see them. What he saw was his bride. For a long time he stood at the window, and every thought that came to him, every image in his mind, added fuel to what Ti within him. 'om behind him there came a slight scratching sound. He turned head and saw that Belle was faintly whimpering, her nose to the crack of the door that led to the next room. He went over to where the dog lay. He stood there | ar hted while Belle er domed head and sad eyes. At last he opened the door. Immediately Belle slip- re into the great bedroom so of shadows, where the wind moaned in the wide chimney. And he remained on the threshold, There was, now, only one light in the room. He had a clear view of his wife. She was seated, in her white dressing gown, on the fdge of the bed. Her hands lay ore her in her lap and she was looking down at them. She didn't look up, but as the dog came to her knee she put out her hand. Kit closed the door on that pic. ture. And presently he lay down on the bed in his dressing gown. But he did not sleep. All nig t he saw before his mind his wife as he had seen her then; with one narrow hand she stroked his dog's head. She did not look at him, Kit had finished his solitary breakfast an hour and a half ago. Since then he had been round the stables. He had seen his hailiff, He had written letters. Now he Was on his way upstairs. His steps were not hurried. . Ginnie had had her breakfast in bed. From the glimpse that he had caught of her tray, she had _eaten hardly anything. gallery where flowers and arched gallery where flowers and boughs filled three great Chinese vases on their pedestals. The curved branches of white lilac shone white against the paneling. The air was filled with their scent. Yes, he saw, these .wide arched spaces had been made a flowered aused outhida the door @ pa ou oor, and knocked, room in which he had a right to be. His wife was sitting up in the great four-poster bed. The thought came to him that never, down ; dreddtul quiet acceptance. ge uv jes, had i ig 8 bride so 10, 50 lovely. Pr Belle came slowly towards her master. With ty shd® waved her feathered tail, saying as plain- ly as with speech, "You see, I have kept her safely." Kit approached the bed. "Good morning, Ginnie," he said. o morning." She was wear- ing a little jacket of lace and rib- s. Her arms emerged from its ruffled sleeves. Her eyes were fixed on his face, a "It is rather late to be in bed, he observed. ho would dave, got 2p But I thou ou 't wan! 506 esi she added, "I didn't dam to see you." Her words, he reflected, were to him always--even now=--like the song of a bird from an unknown shore. He sat down on the bed, "I see, Well, Ginnie, you and I are going to~ a good deal of each other for a good many years." He took out his cigarette case. "Do you mind if I smoke in here?" She looked at him as if she thought he mocked her. "No." "And I have come to see you now," he went on "because there are one or two things that you had better learn before you sta on your new life. But first," he glanced at her as he lit his ciga~ rette, "is there anything you want to ask me?" There was a pause. "Please," she began timidly, " lease--could I have another room?" "Why?" he asked harshly, The words stumbled, "Not so big--not so near you--" ool that one was, thought Kit, to feel this unutterable pang; that she should so wish to be far from "Unfortunately, Ginnie," he sald, "in marrying me you have mar. ried not only riches but Wanders- lay--a place of whose tradition I am careful and where appearances are considered, You will learn our duty. Part of it les in keep- Ing up the appearance of a happy wife. There is no reason why you shouldn't be contented, You will have everything for which you married me, In any case, a cer- tain amount of acting shouldn't be beyond your capacity as we know it, I am, as you and your ople had guessed, a rich man, evertheless, I don't intend that you shall have a great deal of money to spend. You will be able to buy what you like, in reason: frocks, hats, furs--everything that you had thought of. But the bills will be sent to me. You under- stand?" A She nodded, "And," he sald, "there Is one piece of advice which I strongly commend to you, Ginnie. Don't attempt to tell me any more lies or to play any tricks, If you do, 11 regret it." She kept her eyes on his face. "And that is all," he said. He rose and stood, his hands in his pockets, looking down at her where she sat, her head bent. At last she spoke: "W.will it go on forever? Won't it ever be--" He did not pretend to misunder- stand her.. "Be as it was before?" he smiled a little, "Why should it be? I have learned why yoy mar. ried me. I have also learned that the Ginnie Riven for whom 1 cared never lived." "Then~-I'll be like the lady on the stairs," she said at last, with ke my ancestress?" Kit paused for a moment. He smiled coolly. "Anastasia Stone eloped on her wedding day, Her husband brought her back that same day. And he did not forgive her. But the life of Wanderslay had to con- tinue then, as now. And you will realize, Ginnie, that in this place passed r son." There was absolute silence in the room.

Newfoundland Battles By D'ARCY O'DONNELL Canadian Press Staff Writer St. John's, Nfld--(CP)--New-' foundlanders, like Canadians, are complaining these days about the nigh cost of living and some are calling for government action to halt the rise and bring about re- duetions particularly in the prices of foods and clothing. A financial and economic report on Newfoundland, made to the British Dominions' Office a few years ago, sald tRat the cost of liv- ing index then showed that 1046 ices were 63 per cent higher than _of 1038, "The index, however, is not com- piled on up-to-date family budgets, and certainly understates the true increase in prices," said the report, "Furthermore, owing to the drastic reduction of supplies from the United Kingdom, wartime imports came almost entirely from the United States and Canada, and Newfoundland being neither eligibly { - High Cost Of Living for the domestic subsidies of these countries nor in a position to bar~ gain from bulk purchasing, was forced to accept uncontrolled prices." Increased freight and transporta- tion costs, import duties and mark ups of Newfoundland merchants also tended to increase the prices to the consumer, The report sald that inpreased wages had also contributed to the United Kingdom wartime imports needs. Wages in the pulp industry were estimated to have risen 60 per cent and in the mining industry about 50 per cent. The wage rates of miscellaneous technical labor and longshoremen in St, John's rose be- tween 60 and 70 per cent. Returns to fishermen also incressed but there are no accurate figures to in« dicate the extent of the rise. W. G, Dawe, secretary of the Newfoundland Protective Associa- tion of Shop and Office Employees, recently compiled a list of food prices which he said showed that the cost-of-living had risen as much as 118.25 per cent since 1039, / Following are 1046 prices on some of the items he included in his list with 1939 prices bracketed: rolled oats (per pound) ,10 (06), flour (98 ) 6.80 (2,00); table but- ter 80 (43); beans (per pound) .19 (06); rice pe: pound) Mt] sugar (per pound) , (08); tea (per pound) .80 (.50); cheese (per oranges (per coal (per ton) 22.004(11.70). uded in the list was the pasteurized milk (about 28 cents a quart. Most of the milk used on the island is canned condensed milk, much of it import- ed. It sold for 11 cents a tin in 1089 and now is up to 18 cents, Eggs bring anywhere from 90 to 95 cents a dosen, There are no Sport duties on pork, beef, flour and rolled oats, but most other foods are subject to tariffs. The government has given no indication that it plans to re- move duties from all foods, There Appears little it can do to control rices of goods exported to Newfoundland, In the field of clothing the plc- ture 1s much the same as in the case of foods. Low quality clothing is selling at prices in some cases higher than was paid for first quality material before the war. Use of the low quality goods has neces- sitated Trude replacements and brought f er demands for action in the reduction of prices, ------------ DOVER CITIZEN PLAN MEMORIAL Dover, England.--(OP)--An ap- peal for £350,000 ($1,000,000) has been launched for construction of a Battle of Britain memorial hospital on the l4-acre Castlemount Plat- eau, just below Dover Castle.
