EH pn tifk g Ginnie's glance wandered over +» the room, It fell on a young man who stood in the doorway-- Jerry. ... Yes, she saw, it was Jerry. He had arrived at last. He was look- ' ing round him, rather white, grin- ning a little. She stared at A Surely it was silly to think that at this distance one could do more yet somehow she had the impres- sion that he might have drunk a little too much. She ran down the little twist- ing stairway and made her way to where he stood. "Hullo, Jerry! You are late--" "Oh, hullo, kid." His quick lance took her. in from head to oot, lingering on the Gainsbor- oughlike high-waisted frock, "Well ~-you l-look all' right. Grand. Come on! Have this with me-" he bore her off. "Where's your evening bag?" Roughly, in a very low voice, he spoke. "I left it--" "Right. Then you will put this" ~he was pressing a flat packet to her palm "--you will put this down the front of that convenient frock." "Why? Why?" "Because--if you want to know =] believe I'm being hunted." There was silence between them while the drum, the saxophone, the slur of feet made their back- ground of sound. "Jerry," she said at last, in a voice that no one had ever heard from her, "it's no ood. I can't go on like this any nger. I'd rather be dead." "Would you?" said Jerry. "Well, 1 Wouldnt bi « smile!" "Speak to me." "Is-isn't it a nice floor? Aren't there a lot of people?" A moment later as the couples drifted past her eyes a blur of color, nothi more, She anid; ty don't feel vi well, Jerry." But Jerry, it seemed, didn't hear her, ' The music stopped. "Clap!" said Jerry. Clumsily, she made the motions jo appla A d, hard and gentle, was laid on her arm. But at her hus- band's voice she didn't glance round. "Well, Jerry," sald Kit leasantly, "I'm glad you've dren ed up. Did Wisbech show you your room?" "He did, thanks." . "Go and get yourself something to eat. I'm having this dance with innie." "Right. I will; a little pate--" Jerry's voice died away as the band broke once more into a waltz. Her husband took her hand. Obediently she moved with him into the am of couples. Swittly, twice round the room, they went. Then very suddenly Kit checked. He twisted her under the little spiral gallery stairway. Before them was a service door. He opened it. They were in a nar- row passage. Kit closed the door and stood with his back to it. Without roughness he took her wrists in his hand. He held them behind her back, holding her help- less. He put his hand where she had hidden Jerry's small packet. He drew that packet forth. Then he released her. She looked at his darkening face, And thet she looked down at his hand. In his Peim lay the Stone black pearls; his mother's peaxls, Before she could speak, there came a knocking on the narrow door. He opened it and there ap- peared a large man, who closed it gently behind him, The stranger was not very His clothes gave an odd | of in I of not being ut ease on him.

"I suppose I pur absolute discretion?" "Oh, yes, sir!" replied Mr. God- ley. "Trust Twembley's! None of our clients have ever complained of a breach of confidence," Kit nodded.

"It's » mistake and then she stopped, wi use go on He wouldn't believe her. And the naked truth remained; she hadn't known what it was that Jerry had made her {from in the ballroom. No, but she had known before married that hér brother was a common thief, even that he had stolen from this very house. And yet she had married Christopher Stone. "A mistake." Those words expresesd a more rofound truth, and now she tried explain, "It was a mistake that you ever married me. We're--Je: and 1 --not fit. I did try," incoherently the words came, "to --not want me. But---you would me--"" "Yes, Ginnie, I would marry you." His' voice was strangely entle. But she knew he could old his anger in rein, She re- membered his face as she had seen it this evening on the drive, illuminated by the tiny flame of a match, There was silence while the music from the ballroom, sad as is all music at a distance, came to them through the closed door. "People are leaving, Ginnie." Kit's voice was still gentle, "We must be there, you know, to say good-bye." She glanced up then, and her voice suddenly was older than her years, "Yes, I know that. I have been Jong enough at Wanderslay to know it," she said. And obedi- ently she passed through the door that he held open for her, When a half hour later she stood with Kit outside the ball- room, the guests in couples and in chattering groups were pourin down the stairs, Ten minutes ha assed since Ginnie had seen h rother descend those stairs at Mr, Godleys side. He had smiled and talked but her own white frock had not been paler than his face, nor had his face been paler then than hers was now. To her the guests, now departing, had been a guard holding at bay that moment when she and Jerry would be alone with her husband. came to bid fare- eaned forward and kissed Ginnie. "How cold your hand is!" she said. "Good-bye, dear child." She turned to her son. "This child is too tired and still far too thin," she said. "Don't expect any approval from me, Kit, till she looks less like a deer and more like a Jersey calf." : Kit's mouth twitched in a smile. But Ginnie nodded as a deaf per- son nods who wishes to be agree- able, and Lady Mary gave her a very keen glance before turning away to join the throng which, laughing and talking, made to- ward the hall . At last every guest--but one-- had gone. A footman still stood by the front door, "stifling his yawns, while Wisbech hovered. "You can lock up now, Wisbech," Kit said. "I will see Mr. Godley out." "Thank you, sir. Good night, m'm. Gi night, sir," said Wis- bech. He departed with his satel- lite. The sound of their retreating footsteps seemed to point the silence and the hall, bereft now of cheerful voices and the sound of music, seemed more lofty, more still than ever before. "I want you to go upstairs now, Ginnie," Kit did not word it as an order. But she recognized it as such, Nevertheless, she did not move, "Please," she said, "please let me and Jerry go. We'll go away-- I'm sure Jerry would want to go now--to the colonies or anywhere. You won't even have to see us again. You've got back your pearls. Please, can't we go?" "No, Ginnie. And you must go to your room now. I will come to you later." . She shook her head, her eyes on the door of the library, "Either that, Ginnie," he said, '"or I shall take you there." She met his eyes. Yes, he meant what he said. Indeed, she had learned that lesson two or three times in her not long acquain- tance with him. But now before she obeyed him she timidly touched his arm. "You were fond me once, weren't you?" she said. "Please won't you remember that? Please don't send Jerry to prison. I'm very, very sorry I ou, I only wanted to be safe." With a strange little effect of dignity she turned and walked away, across the hall and up the stairs, as he had bidden her.

Dewey, Republican governor of New York, was returned to office by the greatest margin ever given a Republican candidate for the governorship, and as a result becomes a leading contender for the 1948 presidential nomination, Opposing Governor Dewey, shown here with his wife as he signed the register at the polling station in New York, was D tic U.S. Senat James M. Mead. T. Dewey's Presidential Light Burning Brightly New York, Nov, 9--(CP)--Gov. Thomas E, Dewey of New York, 44 years-old son of a Michigan weekly newspaper editor, today probably stands closer to the Presidency of the United States than any other man except President Truman himself, He is in that position by virtue of hi srecord-breaking majority in Tuesday's elections when he over. came powerful opposition from Metropolitan New York City to win re-election ag Governor of the state with the greatest majority ever recorded. Gov. Dewey is the national lead- er of the Republican party -- if there is a leader--because he won the Republican nomination for President in 1944 and lost by only 3,500,000 votes when, Rresident Roosevet won his fourth term elec- tion, Today Gov. Dewey was in New York with his wife and two sons, preparing to leave for a vacation in Sea Island, Ga. and not at all anxious to talk politics or his 1948 chances for Presidential nomina- tion, ' To win the nomination in 1948 Gov, Dewey would have to overcome the party's tradition of never re- nominating a one-time loser. Many think that tradition will not stand in his way. The last men to try that come- back trail was the late Wendell Willkie who wrested the party nom- ination from Gov, Dewey in 1940 and was defeated by Président Roosevelt's third term victory. Willkie went out for it again in the 1044 campaign but he lost out in the primaries long before the convention, retired from the fight, sickened and died--many said from a broken heart, Gov. Dewey won his first fame, when, as New York's special prose- cutor, he successfully waged a fight mobs, and beat them, He is only five feet eight inches tall, slim and dapper. He has sharp dark eyes, overhanging eyebrows, a sharp nose, smooth black hair and a small black moustache. The Governor is one of the best dressed men in the United States but he would like to be a few inches taller, One of the most cutting com- ments on his candidacy in 1944 came from a well-known woman political figure of his own party who referred to him as "the bride groom on a wedding cake." Gov. Dewey is a good friend of Canada and Canadians, and has personal experiences in that coun- try which left pleasant memories. During his Michigan youth he spent several summer holidays in St, Thomas with his aunt, wife of a local banker, He is on record as favoring an alllance of the En lish-speaking peoples for the good the whole world, as a result of his support of such an arrangement at the Repub. lican party's post-war advisory council meeting Atmackinac, Mich. After his defeat in 1944 he declar- ed himself against isolation and ask ed his followers to give President Roosevelt their full co-operation, He sald Americans were deter- mined there would be no third world war.

H. Millard, president of the United Steel Workers' Union told the University College CCF club Thursday night that Labour is eternally interested in the living standards of Canada, but not in a bread and butter standard. at the lack of understanding displayed by members of Parliament, especially Liberals and Conservatives, regarding the labour situation. They did not realize the issues at stake in the recent wave of strikes. "Gallup Polls conducted during the strike period proved that the people of Canada were$ sympathetic to the problem of labour , This encourages us to believe that the people have accepted unions as an integral part of our social, political and econom'c system." now lacked production and distribution, During the war Canada produced to capacity and developed power resources anc. nat. ural resources on a scale undreamed of in 1939. Labour played an ime portant role in this development and emerged from the wer in a much stronger position. "Unions are primarily concerned with living standards," said Mr, Millard, explaining that only one cost-of-living study has been un- dertaken throughout the Dominion, and that by a welfare organization in Torcnto, If more of these stud- ies were made, people would be amazed at the inadequacy of cur- rent wages which are not sufficient to provide a healthy standard of living. "Incomes in this country are far below the amounts necessary for decent living. The income of un- skilled labourers is more than that of teachers, We will press for in. creased wages through collective bargaining to ensure a higher 'standard, Unions are designed to give the highest possible standard of living that our manpower can produce." He declared that production was no longer the concern-of manage- ment alone or of labour alone, but is the concern of the government as well, "Industrial efficiency reflects management-labour relationships," he said, citing the conditions pre- vailing in the shops of the Domi- nion Steel and Coal Co. in Sydney and Glace Bay where bad blood between labour and management existed. Their production ade- quately reflects that relationship, Anything gained by Labour. has been forced out of Management Thin has proved very unco-opera- ve, "We believe that full production against wel.-entrenched gangsters cannot be reached until a union. management relationship is reach- ed. Results achieved during the war are conspicuous in comparison with those of the pre-war depres- sion period but are only fair when compared to our potential capac ty.
