O'BRIEN THE STORY: A note, written by man on the eve of hit exe- rtion for murder, has brought Clyde Dawnon to Chicago. Diw- on, Canadian Intelligence De- partment Investigator, Is on the trail of spies operating agalntt the R.A.F. Bomber Ferry Com- mand. En route from Canada he ha* captured a would-be assassin, Paul Dexel, member of the spy gang. In Chicago Dawson finds photo of an American soldier mur- dered by Lemoy Statler, the hang- ed man, In a rooming house where lives Carole Fltk, the mysterious girl referred to In Statler's cryptic ON THE SPOT CHAPTER VI Dftwson walked slowly to the fireplace and picked the photo- graph off the ledge for closer ex- amination. Yes, those features were unmistakable the four-Inch ear on the left cheek had been retouched, as he could ie by bending the photograph to the Mnt. The presence of the photo here placed the dead eoldier squarely Into the mystery, adding a further complication. Just where did he fit In with the girl Carole Fiske? His name Duwson had to think twice before re-calling it was Prl- Tale Bernard Skrol . . . "What do you want?" Dawson whipped around be kadn't heard anyone coming along the hall. Framed in the archway leading into the room was a tall, keavy man with bushy eyebrows and harsh features. Ills unfriendly housekepeer who had let him In was almost startling. His right band was burled deep In a sport jacket pocket. "I rame to sc Miss Fiske." "What about?" Dawson laughed easily. "Well mow, you are inquisitive It's a personal message for Mis Flske "I know you said a message from Lemoy," rasped the other. IBpill It, mnart guy!" Dawnon's smile faded. "Go plumb to hell!" he said Imply. The man took a step toward the Investigator, lifting hi,, hand In his right coat pocket sugges- tively. But he halted as a girl entered the room. One glance told Dawson she was Carole Flake the girl of the n- < > in- .' :.,.,..- snapshot. "What's going on here, John?" ker TOlce cut in sharply. "This guy say he has a mess- age for you from Lemoy I told him he better speak up or else . ." "8hut up, John, you're acting like a fool," she said. Then turn- ing to Dawaon, "Who are you?" "You wouldn't know me by name I Just happened to meet Lemoy * few days ago in Halifax. When I mentioned that I had to visit Chicago on huslnoss for my com- pany he asked me to give you a burz and . . . must I tell him. too?" be pointed to the glowering John. "Don't mind him, go on with the message'" "Well-l-1, It wasn't much but I bought it might be nicer to drop round and see you In person.

Did he say where he was going?'* "No," shrugged Dawson. "He ap- parently wasn't eure where he would be going. He gave me the Impression It would be a long trip. A swell fellow, Lemoy, I liked him very . . ." "You're a liar!" marled the man called John. His role of good-natured salesman vanished in a surge of hatred. With one quick step he came within range and his right fist lashed out with sledge-hammer force. John crashed over backwards, one of the old-fashioned chairs breaking under his weight. As he hit the floor, Dawson dived one hand clutching the downed man's throat while a knee pinned the pocketed hand on the floor. "When I lift my knee," ha growled Into John's ear, "pull out that hand empty or I'll flatten that nose on your ugly face." His knee lifted a few Inches and John's hand slid slowly out of the pocket. With a quick flip, Dawson rolled the big fellow on hte side, dipped Into his Jacket and came out with a black automatic. Straightening up, he gave his clothes a quick brushing and walked to the girl. "When I go," he said, banding her the gun, "give this back to your boy friend better advlis him to stop playing with this thing." His tone lowered, "I'll be at the Eddlngton Hotel." Back in his hotel room, Dawson let the cold water tap run on the bleeding knuckles of his hand. The girl interested Dawson. Of course, he bad had little time to study her and the conversation had been limited. But she was really a beautiful creature. And from what he had been ablo to judge she didn't seem the hard type. Yet she was sure of herself. Of one thing, however, Dawson- was certain she would get In touch with him somehow, here at the hotel. He couldn't have said enough to do more than arouse her intereat about Lemoy yet . . . what made John so positive that Dawson had been lying? Could he have heard of Lemoy'g death? That was hardly likely. Everything had been closely su- pervised In Newfoundland. Any- way, he had said he met Dawson in Halifax ... ah, that was prob- ably It John knew Lemoy had not been In Halifax "a few dayg ago"!

TABLE TALKS SADIE B. CHAMBERS Requests Seafood Caiierole Sometime ago we wrote in this column about a dinner cooked all in one dish. This is a fish dinner and is suitable for Fridays and other fast days and presents a sol- ution for economy and labor sav- ing. The answer is as easy as one, two, three first quality canned fish, a medley of vegetables, and buoyant biscuits keeping every thing shipshape. Pare and dice enough potatoes to measure 2% cups. Plunge these into boiling salted water and add immediately 1 chopped onion and % cup chopped raw celery. Cook until tender and drain. Save the vegetable stock to use later in the recipe. Next will be required ! J /4 cups flaked fish. When you have drain- ed off the oil and flaked the fish mix it with -74 cup canned peas, 5 ,i pimento cut in strips, and one eighth teaspoon pepper. Stir in the cooked vegetables (potatoes, celery and onion). Grease a 1% quart heat resist- ant glass baking dish. Place in it the fish mixture and pour over it % cup cegetable stock and % cup milk perked up with a few drops of lemon juice. Use a fork to blend the liquid and solid into a smooth texture. Dot with bits of butter using in all two table- spoons. That is almost a meal right there. But fluffy sea-going bis- cuits crowning such glory will turn any dinner into a gala event. Use your favorite biscuit recipe. Cut dough into small biscuits and ar- range on top of the fish mixture. Place In hot oven for about 20 minutes. When the biscuits are brown rush this hot pungent dish to the table. Just one thing more, do not forget a glass of that tart currant Jelly. Peanut Loaf 1 cup freshly ground peanuts 1 cup mashed potatoes 1 cup bread crumbs 1 egg 1 cup milk 1 teaspoon^ salt % teaspoon pepper 1 tablespoon butter Combine the peanuts, potatoes or rice if desired, and bread crumbs. Beat the egg; add milk and the seasonings. Add to the first mixture. Add melted butter and place in a greased loaf tin. Set in a pan of water and bake in an oven of 350F. for about 86 minutes. Serve at once with well-seasoned tomato sauce. Delicate Orange Pudding 4 slices bread 5 tablespoons butter Pulp from 2 navel oranges (1 cup) ' cup sujfar H teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons grated orange peel \6 cup milk Butter bread and cut in cubes. Place in buttered casserole or cus- tard cups with orange pulp Beat whites of eggs until stiff, add sugar and continue beating until well blended. Add egg yolks and then add milk; stir into beaten egg whites. Pour over bread and oranges and bake in moderate oven 350' F. about 40 minutes.

Drop l>y spoonfuls on Here's the Answer to Your Question If you cannot get Crown Brand Syrup from your favourite grocer now and then, here is the reason. Because "Crown Brand" in addition to its other uses is being very generally used to help supplement the supply of sugar in Canadian Homes, the demand has increased tremendously. Though there has been a much greater amount of Crown Brand syrup produced this year, even this increased supply cannot cope with the shortage of millions of pounds of sugar. Don't hoard . . . buy normally ... we are making very effort to supply the increased demand, and your grocer will do his best to fill your needs. s* -j ' CROWN-BRAND SYRUP THE CANADA STARCH COMPANY IIMIKO MO N f i Al - TO O N 1 greased cookie pan.

Their variety In style makes it possible to change the look of that basic suit to fit almost any occasion. An extra skirt or two takes away the almost. The new fall blouses offer quite It departure from the classic shirt theme, although that is still the big volume seller. Two practical considerations have been taken into account this season. One is the return of the over-blouse for the woman who desires the effect of a two-piece dress. The other is the use of warm fabrics in varied styles. Wartime jersey, 65 percent wool and 35 percent cotton, Is one of the newly developed fabrics which is extensively used. Looped wool fringe, lace, novel lingerie trimming and epanglei add distinctive touches. Wooden Ships In these days of steel ships the extent to which the British forests of oak were reduced to provide ships to fight the wars of other days is not often appreciated. From keel to completion one "wooden wall" would require a forest to itself. Two thousand oak trees at least 100 years old had to be felled for a warship of Nel- son's time.
