CHAPTER XVIL sSOMETHING TO SHOW In the car, driving homeward toâ€" wards Leckingham Top at a speed unâ€" wonledly slow, with Sylvia‘s trun®s strapped behind the car, they were both very quiet. Much of Peter‘s energy, for one thing, was taken up in stayint awake. Peggy had frankly slept against his shoulder for two spells of no more down and take it easy for a bit." She sat, placing her chair back against lthe wall at his side. They waited and there was silence; they were too tired to make any more polite conâ€" versation toâ€"night; and as for the capâ€" tives, they were still, though Peggy, expending a little hope upon the exâ€" treme improbability that â€" Chacquard would turn up, and create a diversion which might well be turned to account, She believed, when the knock came upon the house door half an hour later, that they thought he had come. "G> down and let them in, Peg3y," said Peter, with a tired sigh of relief. She had expected some readable signs of disappointment when she reâ€" turned with Superintendent _ Barker and half a dozen policemen at her hee‘s: ‘but there were none. No one spoke except Mere Colibri; and she said looking at iPeggy with a whimsical <mile: She nodded. Her nerve was good for the rest of the way, though it was proâ€" bable that there would be a reaction later. She knew whast he did not. She whispered into his ear, very softly: "I told Barker to come on here. They may be here any minute now." "Still darlinz. It‘s becomé a habit; and anyhow, you called me Peter." "Mr. Milneâ€"‘" she began again, deâ€" murely. "Yes, darling?" She laughed; it was patently no use tryving to dissuade Peter. "Oh, all right, L1l play. What T was going to say isâ€"Oh, I don‘t know quite what it was! Scmethilng about itâ€"the affair, you know. You couldn‘t help liking Mere ‘Coliri, could you? Or maybe I really mean admiring her. At any rate, she didn‘t complain when she was beaten." "Thanks to you," said Peter. "And you. And a lot of luck. Oh, Peter, I lcan‘t just explain i#t, but I wasn‘t afraid ai ‘the time, and I‘m terrified now, every time I think of it." "It‘s just reaction," said Peter, smilâ€" ir\y at her. "After all, you know, you‘d had no sleen for something like twenty hours, and had been through a good deal, if only in excitement. You can‘t said Peter, aloud. "Sit expect to pay nothing at all for an experience like that. But you nceedn‘t kell me there‘s anything wrong with your nerve, after that transformation scene of yours. Because I shan‘t beâ€" lieve it." "I wouldn‘t have dared," she said simply, "if it had been anyone but you. But I knew you‘d manage it, somehow." Peter‘s heart turned cold for a moment, as he though! of what might have happened if he had not managed it;: better forget that; it was over, and it had not happened. MHer faith in him was still as intadt as his in her. "All over bar the shouting. I hope, you won‘t mind the shouting. It will all come out, you know, even your part in it.

And naturally, you will chit the headlines with that peculiar aplomb which is| one of your most disconcenting gifts,| and become a public heroine of ‘the most virulent kind." He stole a sly glance at her, and found her frowning. "I‘m giving you a fatherly warnâ€" ing," said Peter virtuously.

They were passin@ through copse, which she did not remember seeing before; apparentâ€" ly they were taking a different way. Tt was very quiet under the trees,. She looked steadily away from Peter, and pitied herself desperately out of sheer weariness. "And in spite of the charge against me being withdrawn, people will remember that Peggy Calder was in trouble with the police, andâ€"and 1 shall have to put up with itâ€"â€"" _ A tear splashed upon Peter‘s sleeve; there was an inconvenient breeze blowing which had carried it to the right as it fell. ‘ "Peterâ€"shall I really?" She sounded terrified. ‘"Nothing can save you. The newsâ€" hounds will be round you like flies round a honeyâ€"pot. Why, what‘s the matter? Did you really think you could go back !to the land, and grow cabbages, and sell things in markets, and no one any the wiser?" "I knew I should have to give full evidenceâ€"about my double life, and all thatâ€"but I hadn‘t thouzht any furâ€" ther. Iâ€"I haven‘t had time," she said piteously. "Andâ€"and you‘re not being very helpfulâ€"â€"" , "Ah, well," she said, with a sigh suppose it‘s all over." Peter stepped the car. Surprised, she turned to face him. Her cheeks were still pale from the daily applications of blanching lotion, but they would soon regain their brown; and for the rest, she was Pd:gy again. He liked her infinitely better that way; he would be glad when even the marring fullness planted by the hand of Lilias was exâ€" punged from the determined mouth. "I can only suggest," he said meekly, "that you might change your name again. She dlooked at him, and said nothing. "What do you say to Milne? Marâ€" garet Sherwood Milne? (It isn‘t such a bad sort of name, really; I‘ve had it all my life, and it never did me any harm." A second tear followed the first. Peter laughed, and zathered her to him:; she made a feeble attempt to push him away, but abandoned it alâ€" most immediately, and clung to him instead. "You have to answer the question, witness. There‘s no one to chject to it for you. Will you, or will you not, go on ibeing partners with me?" "No ifs or buts.

Now COPYRIG THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTAKRKIO THE VALUE OF BEING ABLE TO CHEW YOUR FOOD We are told that there is really no need for strong hard |:rinding teeth any more because foods are now quite soft, have fibres removed or softened, and are often partly digested. However dentists tell us that while soft fo>ds are all right for those withâ€" out teeth or with poor teeth, foods that require a hard bite and much chewing will, by increasing the ciroulaâ€" ticn, strengthen the teeth in their sockets and prevent pyorrhoea. We all know tha‘t a "sore" tooth preâ€" vents chewing on that side, and if an artificial tooth or teeth are present the chewing is also likely to be done on the other side. It is the shock and pressure of thewing food, making the bony reots of the teeth strike hard on their bony sockets in the jaw bone that keeps teeth and gums healthy. It may be that you have been wearâ€" some teeth on "bridges" and the time comes ‘when a new bridge must be made lbecause one, or perhaps two teeth that were the supports of the bridge imust be removd. An Xâ€"ray o your teeth shows that perhaps one or two cther teeth should be removed also and you wonder whether it would not be ‘best to have all the rest of your teeth removed and get complete upper and lower plates or dentures. Generally speaking, if you can afford it, your dentist will suggest that you leave your own teeth in as long as posâ€" you have ccmplete upper and lower sets of artificial teeth.

In patients wearing full upper and lower plates (dentures) average age 24, the average force of the bite in the molar region was about 22 pounds, at the side 24 pounds, and in front 9 pounds."

Original Theme in New Mystery Story. Their experience is curiously limited. They are always on spectacular murder casesâ€"or nearly always. Now and again e eminent detective condesâ€" cends to fake a jewel mystery, if the value cf the jewels is lamtze enough to make it a job worthy of his position. But that seems to exhaust the cataâ€" logue of crime with which many deâ€" tectives of literature are concerned. In reality, of course, there is a very longz list of crimes ‘with which datecâ€" tives have to deal. Murder is very much the excepticnal job. Appreciating this truth, Mr. Leslie Cargillâ€"author of sucth original mysâ€" tery stories at "Death Goes By Bus" and "Gestapo Gauntlet," a story of the Nazi political policeâ€"has shown originâ€" ality by propounding a mystery which turns on the cunning crime of kidâ€" napping. "The Wade Kidnap Case" is the title of Mr. Cargill‘s challenging story C the disappearance of a rich industrialâ€" ist, and of the quest for his recovery. "Challenging" is the right descoripâ€" tion. It is a story thalt tests the reader‘s skill in finding the flaws in a very cunning scheme. But it is more than that.

Interesting Report on W ork of the Instltute for the Blind (Continued from Page One‘ tieth annual report of that organization whiich came to our office this week, tells an inspiring story of the success which has rewarded its efforts. Blindness is something about which the average citizen knows very little, but it is a matter of very vital interest to the <en thousand eight hundred and twentyâ€"one Canadians who receive their impressions, fase their social proâ€" blems, attempt 1 earn their living and carry on their duties as citizens without what is generally regarded as the most precious and essential of the senses. brought into contact with blind people does n experience a desire to help. Unit]l The Canadian National Institute for the Blind was created, there was no channel throvuzh which such a desire could be implemented. There was a eneral impression that ncothing much could be done. The feelingzg of impotence on the part of those who realized the desperate plight of the iblind, and the feeling of helplessness of those who, deprived of sight, looked in vain for help, have been swept aside during these past twenty years. The pubtic have been made aware that there is a sound and effe>â€" tive way of assisting blind people, and the sightless men and women of Canaâ€" da have been provided ‘with an agzency through which their legitimate claims on the consideration of the public can be expresed, and, to some extent sa‘tisfied. The Managing Director of the C.N.I. B. is Colonel E. A. Baker, O.B.E., who Iicst his sittht in the last war. Tt is under his guidance during the past eighteen years that the Institute has made such remarkeable progress. That his ‘work is appreciated, ncot only in Canada, but in the wider field, is indicated by the that this spring he was elected President of The American Association cf Workers for the Blind, an organizaâ€" tion ‘which includes the executives of every reputable agency engagzed in the field of welfare for the blind in North America, The reason for this high honour beâ€" ing paid to Colonel Baker is apparent when the annual report is perused. It is concrete proof that the welfare of Canada‘s blind is in safe hands; that the Institute is in ithe front rank of alzencies working in the interest of a handicapped section of our citizenship; that the exzseedingly difficult problem of fitting cur blind neighbours into a recognized place in our society has been systemaitically approached and has, to a substantial degree, been met. The Canadian National Institute for the Blind, last year provided some type of social service to 6,523 blind pecp‘e. It is officially stated in the Institute‘s annual report for the year ending March 31, 1939. In addition to its work in connezction with the welfare of the blind, The Canâ€" adian National Institute fcor the Blind interests itself in the work of the preâ€" vention of blindness. It is stated in the annual repport of the Institute which covers the twelve month period ending March 31, 1939, tha‘t during the year, assistance towards conserving and restoring their sight was [:iven to 5.866 men, women and children. ‘The number of lbiind jpecple in the Dominion of ‘Canada at the end of March this year, according to the anâ€" nual report was 10,821. The number in Newfoundland which is one of the divisions of ithe Institute was 231. Last year the Toronto library of Thci Canadian National Institute for the Blind, loaned over 46,148 gra,mophonel records _ These records represented books, which were recorded for use on the Talking Book machine. These recerded books, of whith there are 276 titles now available for loan, are lent to blind people without charge and mailed postage free to any ipart of Canada as are the Braille books. Acâ€" cordinz to the recently issued annual report the use of the Talkking Book is , rapidly gaining in popularity. | Throw:h the facilities of The Canaâ€" dian National Institute for the Blind, 604 blind Canadian men and women were regularly employed last year.
