Later, Ginnie learns that her uncle and aunt, _ Dick and Lou Fosdyke, with their " secomplice, Etienne d'Alain, are in- ternational jewel thieves and that Jerry works for them. Lady Mary's black pearls are stolen and Ginnie suspects that Jerry is involved. .Es- tranged on their wedding day, Kit ' says Ginnie must "keep up the ap- pearance of a happy wife". She is hostess for the first time at a Hunt Ball at Wanderslay, While dancing with Ginnie, Jerry makes her put a package in her dress. Kit sees the transfer, knows they are his mother's black pearls. He sends Ginnie to her room and remains with Mr, Godley, the detective. When she tries to run away she encounters Etienne in a back passage. CHAPTER XXVI Ginnie sat down on the edge of a table, beside a row of boots and some blacking. She looked up into that intent and merciless face. "It was I who had the pearls when Kit found them," she said. "And now I want to go away-- right away. Can't I get a job? Please could you give me a lift? And I don't want to take the car Kit gave me--" . Etienne was looking at her as if, till this second, he had not really seen her. "Yes, Ginnie," he sdid at last. "You will come with me." "Oh, Etienne, ' thank you so much!" He made no reply. He picked up the suitcase. Soundlessly, he walked on. She followed him. They came to his car at last. It was parked without lights on the turf by the roadside. He opened the door. He had slipped the black silk cowl from his head. Surely now, Ginnie thought, he would seem familiar once more? No, there was something that she hadn't known in the face lit by the dashboard light. He pulled off the silk gloves. He stared down at his bare hands on the wheel. And as if he were continu- ing a conversation of which she had missed the beginning, he said softly: "And I, at least, do not leave a jewel lying in the path." She didn't know what he meant. She was suddenly so tired she didn't care. Only, she thought, Etienne, his teeth gleaming a little as he glanced behind him to back the car, was not smiling for her. She huddled in the seat as the car moved off. Trembling, she spoke. "Etienne, I didn't help Jerry. I ran away. Kit was very angry. He knocked him down." Jerry. And such scenes are not for you. Your--husband should not have permitted you to see it." "Kit did tell me to go upstairs," she replied. "But I watched from the gallery--" Etienne made no comment. Ex- pertly, he skidded the car round a corner. He was very silent. He left her to her thoughs. But there was nothing of which she could think without flinching--not Jerry, not Kit, not Wanderslay-- and even Etienne, she felt, seemed slightly changed; only that she was too weary to examine in what that change lay. "I don't want to see Aunt Lou or Uncle Dick." "You will not see them." J "lI thought, perhaps, if you would leave me somewhere I would be safe just for tomor- row--" "You will be safe, Ginnie." Presently her eyes closed, her head nodded and she slept, turn- ing sideways, her cheek on Eti- ene's shoulder. He drove on. His face was as closed as ever except for the smallest smile that lin- L on his lips. He took one d from the wheel and covered her two hands where they lay, cold, on her lap. She did not and dropping at speed into the ths of a valley over a bridge, past the lightless houses of a village and up the winding d beyond, he was as sure of s power to deal with her future as of his power over the great.car that he drove. "Thick . woods now hung over the road on either hand. A white owl, silent as a moth in flight, sailed through the trees. It cried, and she woke. She stared at Eti- enne, and he smiled at her, "It is very kind of you to give me: a lift, Etienne," she said timidly. "I'd like you to drop me at a small hotel in London--I don't want Kit to find me." "He will not find us," replied Etienne. "And if he does, it is I who will see him, not you." She glanced round at the sides of the car that shut her in. "You see," she said carefully, "tomor- row 1 shall go to the registry offices. I'll find something tomor- row. I'll rest tonight--" There was a pause. Etienne did not take his eyes from the road ahead. "Ginnie," he said, "It was you who once told me that if I had loved you I should not have made you unhappy. You will never need to be afraid of me. But , d all other nights --you be in my hands." * 5 Kit entered without knockin, the bedroom next his i room, It was lit only by the fire- light, and in that light the occu- pant of the great four-poster bed was visible, asleep. A second later, uith a Hiitle Tg he woke. it," murmured. He twisted himself anew into a more ; mforta position, . "Well, Jerry," said Kit. He ap- ) the bed. And nothing, could make this in- J sat down in a case and handed it to the boy. "So you slept all day?" he said. Jerry nodded in assent as Kit lit his cigarette. "I needed sleep, he said quietly. "And anyway you've locked away my clothes, I notice. You needn't have done that. I'm not so keen to--get back to things, for the moment. "You're not going back to any- thing," Kit said pleasantly, "for some time." : "Good," said the boy, faintly smiling. "Suits me. I like this place. Mind you," he added with candor, "if I could have got away last night, I would have. I saw 1 was for it, almost as soon as Ginnie did." "Ginnie?" : "Oh, yes." Jerry flushed a little. "She was in the gallery, poor kid. A bit tough on her, I suppose, really, it was my going through old Oliyier's papers when I was here and handing on what I found out that first gave you an idea of what Ginnie and I--the whole lot of us--are?" Jerry nodded, and after a mo- ment Kit removed his glance from had visited his wrath on Ginnie's brother. He had no temptation to do so again. "You've got a gi deal to answer for," he said. And so have I, he thought. "Yes, I know," answered the boy simply. "But in a day or two, after I leave this house, I'll have to pay for everything. Account rendered. I've failed, you see. We --none of us--must ever do that." "Account rendered." The words, perhaps some shadow of terror in Jerry's dark eyes, struck Kit. But he only said, "I shouldn't think about your failure. You've been engaged in a dirty fight and, as a matter of fact, from the time God- ley stepped in you were out- classed." For a little, Jerry lay silent. Then he said, "Ginnie hasn't been near me. I'd like to see her--say I'm sorry," he muttered. . Kit rose and went over to the hearth, as if one might hope to hide for one second what one felt from the bright-eyed young man in the bed. "Ginnie has gone. She has left me." "Gone." Jerry repeated the word. 'It sounded in the silence like the stroke of a bell. "Gone." He looked round the great room. "I say, you know--that's just like her. She'd leave all this any time if she wasn't happy inside. Money and the things that mean a lot to me were nothing to her. Of course Uncle Dick and Aunt Lou wanted her in the racket. In fact, they'd spent a lot educating her and grooming her for it. But she was no good. Nothing could make her anything but a danger. I bet I know where she's gone, though." "What?" Kit flashed round. "She's gone to Etienne," he said. "You know--Etienne d'Alain? She was always fond of him. She trusted him, And he was darned fond of her. I only guessed that lately. She oughtn't," still the cruel young voice went on, "ever to have married you. Ought she? I mean, she knew that. But you seemed to care for her. And she liked you frightfully. There was a snap of you--in The Sporting and Dramatic it was--having a spot of trouble with a horse. Well, that page got quite dog-eared. She didn't know I noticed that. But we notice everything." "I suppose so," said Kit. And then, as the boy stopped. "Go on." "Oh, well, we thought--Etienne and I--it'd be a good thing if she married you. Naturally Uncle Dick hand Aunt Lou were all for it, but for pretty different reasons. Of course there was a lot against it. There was the business of the pearls, for one thing. Ginnie couldn't get over that. But Uncle Dick brought the right pressure to bear and she gave in. It did look good, to me--as if you might make her happy; as if you couldn't help caring for her. And--ahd," the boy looked down at his hands on the sheet, "she's such a little dear, really. She's so gentle, though she can be cheeky enough--" Kit didn't speak. "But I expect in a way you're glad she's gone? You'll be glad to get rid of the lot of us. Well, 'you needn't worry about Ginnie if she's with Etienne. Of course he's a crook, but she's used to crooks. He's hard but he won't hurt Gin- nie--" There was no reply. Jerry glanced up. He saw his brother-in-law's face. After a pause he said in quite a different voice, "I'm very sorry, Kit. I didn't know. You see, I've never been in love." Kit found something like a smile for Ginnie's brother. He turned away and without speak- ing he left the room. (To be continued) SNOWBOUND CATTLE. IN AUSTRALIA According tothe popular idea, Australia is a land bathed in eter- nal sunshine, but there are parts of that continent which are cevered with snow much of the year. It is the custom of farmers and cattle- men to remove their stocks from these areas before they become snow bound, but sometimes the snow extends beyond the normal limits. Recently the cattlemen had to don skiis to rescue some of the stock left behind during the mus- terings, One such incident is related by the Australian News. In the Knan- dra district of New South Wales, two men skied fifty miles to find ten head of cattle which had been cut off two months previously dur- ing a blizzard. To assist the cat- tle over 18 miles of deep snow- drifts, a team of ten horses was sent out to break the trail so that the weakened cattle would be able his cigarette N to make the journey.

The giant tomber carries 10,000 pounds of bombs for 10,000 niles, or its maximum bomb capacity of 72,000 pounds for a shorter range. The B-36 wingspan is 230 feet; its length, 163 feet; its height, nearly 47 feet. Six 3,000-h.p. Pratt & Whitney pusher-type engines drive 19.foot propellers. The AAF has announced that the B-36 can carry an atomic bomb to any inhabited region in the world and return home without refueling. War Assets Recover Materials Montreal, Nov, 12. -- Substantial recovery of much needed bullding material from the demolition fo stductures declared surplus at for- mer war industrial plants, naval, army and airforce stations was shown in a report issued today by War Asseas Corporation. Demotition has been carried on or is actually in pdogress af rom- mer service or industrial establish- ments in Manitoba, Ontario, Que- bec, and Nova Scotia. From these projects there had been recovered to Oct. 31, 1946, the following quan- tities: Doors, 5,760; Windows, 11399; water pipe, 55,558 lineal feet; steam pipe 134,012 lineal feet; electrical wire conduit, 890,884 lineal feet; switches, 3,812; and raliators 747.

CSubstantial recoveries were ob- tained at the former Defence In- dustries Limited at plants at Trans- cona (Winnipeg) Manitoba and Nobel, Ontario. Large quantities were also received from the former No. 1 Depot R.C.AF., Toronto, and the former Army Station at Chat- ham, Ontario. Considerable mater- ial has already been obtained from the demolition of surplus buildings at the big army establishment at Debert, Nova Scotia, and this is one of the projects yet under way. Great quantities of these much needed building materials will be added when other establishments are emolishe. Additional stations are earmarked for 'demolition in Nova Scotia, apart from work now under way at Debert; in Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario.

Asks Vote Choice Liquor Question Toronto, Nov. 12. -- (CP) -- Rev. Arthur Organ, chairman of the Board of Evangelism and social service of the United Church of Canada, in a statement here urged the Ontario Government to amend its Liquor License Act to give the province's five cities of 50,000 or more population an opportunity to vote on whether they wish licensed sale of liquor by the glass. The Act, which was passed at the last session of the Ontario Legisla- ture but has not been proclaimed, provides for licensing of liquor sale in the five cities--Ottawa, Toron- to, Hamiltédh, London and Wind- sor--without a vote, Cities under 50,000 have a chance to vote on the question. Mr. Organ said the board propos- es to ask mayors of the five to pro- vide for local option. His statement called on: Premier Drew to delay proclamation until the Act can be further reviewed by the legislature at its next session.

CHEMISTRY IN/48-13 irn In Ottawa By The Canadian Press Ottawa, Nov, 12 -- (CP)--Circles close to the Canadian espionage probe are highly interested now in the outcome of a second series of trials commencing in Ottawa to- MOIrTow. Their interest and conjecture has been aroused by the even split be- tween acquittals and convictions in the previous series of four trials before juries in the Ontario Su- preme Court. In both acquittals, the verdicts were directly opposite to the find- ings of the Royal Commission on Espionage. Although further simi- lar verdicts are not likely to have any outward impact, they may have an historic effect in future argu- ments as to whether the govern- ment was justified in its methods of handling the accused. Both acquithod Tock. Eric Adams and Matt Nightingale were detained without legal counsel for weeks at the R.CM.P.'s Rockcliffe Barracks. Both were branded as guilty by the Commission before they ever went on trial. Both are free on bail pending dis- position of further charges but it is considered doubtful that the Crown will press them. The new series of cases involves Gordon Lunan, Durnford Smith, Prof. Israel Halperin and Dr. David Shugar, all former government of- ficials or servicemen. Their fates rest in the hands of a judge alone. those either Judge A. G. McDougall or Judge J. P. Madden of the Carle- ton County Court. It was Jue McDougall who ac- quitted W. M. Pappin, passport of- fice clerk of charges arising from an attempt to get a false passport for a Russian agent. It was the third acquittal in the cases of 18 Canadians detained since last Feb- ruary. * > LJ The portrait of Mr. Mackenaie King has been painted by an Eng- lish artist and is hanging in the National Gallery, Sir Robert Bor- den's picture is being executed by a Canadian artist from photographs, a bust and likely from the. memory of the artist.
