RECOMMENDS THE Other lEEHIVESyru, St. Lowrence Starch Co. limited MARRYING MARK .... by Violettc Kimball Dunn SYNOPSIS When Mark Alexander's beauti- ful wife Ellen, died, he was left with Valerie, Ellen's daughter by a former marriage. Ail of Ellen's family save Shirley wanted to adopt Valerie and th trust fund which Ellen left her, but Mark vvould not hear of It and took Valeria on a long trip. On the way home, they met Lucy Tredway and engaged her t tutor Valerie. Now, Ellie, fearing that Mark Is interested In Lucy, has urged El- len's sister Dorothy to come and try to get rid of Lucy. Dorothy has Just told Lucy that Valerie's friends will not be permitted to visit her If Lucy stays. Lucy says that she must speak to Mark first. CHAPTER 25 "Can you honestly tell me you believe my brother-in-law would let you go If you talked to htm about It?" Lucy long'*! to say she knew fee wouM. At last she lifted her ye* and looked Into the greenish- yellow ones staring at her. "No," she eld. "He's much too decent. I'm sure he wouldn't." "It's something In your favor that you admit It. Mark has al- Ways been wai In- the hands of attractive women. And of course you must linve a certain kind of Charm for nion " Lucy went to the door and open- ed it. "Till* Is still my room," h said. "Will you kindly leave ?" "\Vli> I want to lielp you with four plans--" 8t.:immorr-<l Dorothy. "Will you kindly leave my room?" repeated Lucy. "I don't know If I Hhnll ever forgive you pr not. But I don't have to listen *o you nny longor. Or < you " Now Mora Quickly RELIEVED Durothy found herself at the door without qntii Icnnwlng how she got th*re. S. . fain-led she heard a faint foot-fall In tl' hall, but when she gla-cnl out there wn* rn one In stplii. L:icy allowed her.- . ii storm of teais. She burled her head In the cushion* rif the cou.!i, nnd cried her heart out. When she began to get her Inoath once more, she got up and washed her face. Then stie began to pack. Plans formed an.1 unformed in he>r mind as she worked. And suddenly uhe knew whiit . she would do. If she was going jhe must go at once. If she watted to see Mark again, she would never find the courage. It took h(*r only a short time to g*t her tilings together. Farewell Tokens She wrote and tore up a dozen notes. What could she say to Mark? At last she took a fresh shret and wrote quickly. She couldn't even begin It. She only said: Don't hate me for going. And don't think I don't know all you've (lone for me. I could nover tell you how grateful I am. I didn't realize R was a mistake my being here. I'm leaving this check for the Ark. I'm really very rich such a big salary, and I've saved such a lot of It! LUCY. She found her checkbook and drew a check on the Allington bank for a hundred dollars. She didn't know the Ark had cost Mark three times that. She t hov glit she was overpaying him, ami was glad. She found she couldn't write to Valerie at all. She found a snap- shot taken only the week before by Valerie, Lucy and McTavlsh on the terrace. She wrote at the bottom, "With all my love, Valerie Oarllng. Lucy." She ran with It to Valerie's bed- room, and laid It on the dressing table. She opened Mark's sitting- room door almost timidly. It was the first time she had ever cross- ed the threshold. Even the air seemed filled with him. She ran to his desk and propped the note there, wtth the check folded In- id*. Pain almost past bearing knot- ted her throat A handkerchief with an embroidered "M.A." lay unfolded on a chair, where Mark had dropped It. She picked It up and held It for a second against her faco. Then she thrust It deep Inside her sleeve. She closed the door carefully and ran downstairs. Everything depended on secrecy. And speed. If Chlltern should see- her If Mark should come back before she got away It was almost like an escape. The big hall was empty. The house might almost have been deserted. She pulled th soft fur of her coat around her and opened the front door, running down the drive and around to Pallet's quar- ters. Luck was with her, for Catlet was Jtist runniug out the fclg car to go for Mark an-d Valerie. I/ucy blessed her genius for getting on with servants as she called to him. She had, she said, a sudden long- Ing to take the Ark out for a little run. Was It In working order? Catlet asuTd her that It was, as ho had run It out only the day before to put It In a different place. She supposed, she said, that Cat- let had heard the funny old thing wa hers? Catlet had heard so, and told her gravely It was a flue oM !). Would he get It out for h*r before he started? He would Indeed. He did. The lumbering old hybrid, Us new engine humming ]... -I'-. In Ita aged sides, rolled majpptlcally Into the drive. l^iicy almost forgot her grief to snill.< as Catlet stepped out of It in his smart uniform. "Sim rnns like a two-year-old," fan said. "I cun hardly wait to try It my- self. Thanks a lot." Lucy said. Away In The Ark She Invented delays, poking lu sliI-. waiting for Catlet to leave. He evidently had no suspicion, for h stood for a second waiting to see If she needed him. Then he got Into Mark's car -and drove awi-.y. Lucy ran the car quickly to a side door. Her heart almost ehokwl her with IU pounding. It was so awful to go like thiM. She crept up a hack stairway to her own door unseen. Tho upper ttnll was empty, and she carried h<n- liiRgage down piece by piece. nialiliiK three trips, and hiding hor things In tho back of t.lie van. At lust they were safe.

He was donated to the school by Chief Petty Officer F. J. Searle, as a token of gratitude after every man in the gunnery school had volunteered to give the veteran seaman a blood transfusion during a recent illness. Bud is shown with Gunnery Petty Officer H. Catley. Lucy drove silently down the back drive, and out of the service gates. She hardly knew where s>lie was going, but headed Instinc- tively for Allington. She knew, however, as she drove along the quiet road In the late winter afternoon, that the wonder- ful feeling of security had been lost even before. Dorothy appear- ed. Looking back, she could trace its loss to Elise, and Thanksgiving niglit. Now that tlie excitement of get ting away was beginning to wear off, she was filled with a sort of panic, which gave way at last to complete desolation. It ought to be easy to take up the old ways again Kasler because she was rich! She had over a thousand dollars In the bunk at Al- HiiKton. What was she afraid of? Didn't she realize how lu.cky she was? Luckier than she had dream- ed of being. And this was prob- ably only the beginning. She must face ahead. (To Be Continued) ISSUE 49 '41 Britons' Wings Sprout Anew The St. Thomai Times- Journal Brings Us An Inter- esting Sidelight Sometimes there are strange les- sons to be learned from nature. The Iiidon Times recently com- pared the dodo, a large flightless bird now extinct, with the Britons. The comparison Is unique and a little Imaginative but nevertheless It points an ominous warning. "It Is odd that the most striking leason to be learned from this an- tique bird should be of the Import- ance of air power," says the Times. "The dodo, like the Britons, lived on an Island, where it was compar- atively free from ene-mles; It ate the tropical fruit that lay on the ground and found Ita wings sup- erfluous and a bore; as a, reault It grow BO fat that It could not have raised Itself off tho ground If It had tried and at the first arrival of man It fell an easy victim. "The parable of tha dodo has been known for over two hundred years and those who do not want to go 'the way of the dodo' had bettor keep their wings in good flying or- der whether they live on an Is- land or not." R.A.F. Not "Dead as Dodo" The dodo of Mauritius Island In the Indian Ocean and also the great auk of several Islands off the I<abrador coast were both wingless birds. They were secuire on their Island homes until the arrival of European seamen, then their lack of flight made them an easy prey to sailors who would come ashore armed simply with clubs. Tho dodo became extinct early In the IGOO's; the great auk became extinct over a century ago. Iloth speclus were literally killed oft the fao of the earth, because they had no flight power. It Is a strange nnd striking par- allel to wliat might also have been the story In Great Britain today. Ths "wings" of Britain had become dangerously like the wings of the dodo and the great auk. But a now R.A.FV was born, tohe "wlngs'^of Britain seized control of the sky over tortured Dunkirk and later ovr the British Isles Itself. "Never was so much owed by so msny to so few!" Tho Nazis hoped for It, but the story of Mis dodo and the great auk will never be rn-enaeted on the Island of Britain. The dodo and the great auk had lost the-lr wings, but tb4 Britons drew on that reserve strength which they always produce la an eme-geney, and re-fount! MM** TABLE TALKS By SADIE B.

Bit of Figuring Was Worth While In London recently some mem- bers of a Roosevelt mission con- ferred with English officials, says Leonard Lyons in his gossip col- umn, "Broadway Gazette," and goes on to tell this war story: "A note was brought to two of the Rritishers, who left, saying, 'We'll be back shortly.' . . . Those men are Britain'.-? foremost matfre- maticians. They were rushed by air to Dover where three men watching a rugby game had been killed by a Xari shell fired across the Channel. "The mathematicians studied the shell's trajectory arrived at by measuring the angle of the snapped branches in the trees through which the shell had tra- veled. They made their calcula- tions and located the exact spot in France from which the shell had been fired. An R.A.F. flier went up and across and destroyed the gun. "The local mathematicians flew back to the London meeting. 'Sorry, gentlemen.' they apolo- gized to the Americans, 'we had a bit of figuring to do.'
