CHAPTER X Joe Danbunie's tlark and liaiitl- •ome face was plainh' framed in the big glass window that Honey faced as she sat there in tl»e cozy living room. Astonisliinent was written all over his countenance, mingled with relief as he saw her. But then, instantly, his face was masked by cruelty and passion as he looked through the window. Icy shivers ran up and down Honey's spine. She did not want hiin to know that she had seen liim, or tliat she knew he was anywhere around. Ignor- ance on her part might postpone the showdown tliat would surely come when he knew his presence was discovered. So she sat there, trying to act highly interested in Mrs. Carey's tale, which was no longer funny to her. Blood rushed through her veins at double quick time, and her temples pounded like sledgeham- mers. She expected almost momen- tarily to see Joe lift a hand and fire a gun at her point blank, so enraged were his eyes for a while; they were black with cold fury. Tl. Ctl slo file watched out the corner of her eyes she saw a >iijw wicktij Kleam cross his face. .She knew without a doubt that plans that included her were form- inti in his mind. After minutes of staring through the window, whicli seemed hours to Honey as she went through mental and physical agony, Joe turned and disappeared into the blackness. Slie forced herself to sit calmly and wait until she was certain that he was no longer watching, then she stood, trembling violently. "You have a chill, child," ex- claiined Mrs. Carey in amazement. "My dear, you are ill." "I â€" I must leave. Nowl" she gasped in hoarse wliispers. There was no di'iiying the haste in her tone, nor the frantic appeal ifl the WILLIE WEATHER Says: One of the out- standing men in English history, I'm told, was a king who loved the cold weather. They lell many .stories about this famous warrior- k i n g â€" you've probably heard of Frigid the I.ion-Ifcorted. eyes that she lifted pleadingly to Art. "Please." "I'll take you,'' Art spoke quickly. But as he walked to the window his steps were slow as if nothing were wrong. He pulled down the shade. After that his movements were rapid. He hurried to Honey's side. "Somebody was looking in at the window?" he asked. She nodded her head. "Yes," she told him, trying hard to bring calmness back into her excited voice. "I must get away quickly. Oh, please â€" I can't wait another minutx;, it might already be too late." • ♦ » Art turned without a word and went out the back door. He re- turned almost instantly. "There is no one around now. We'll leave at once." Mrs. Carey stood wide-eyed and sai â-  notliing until Honey was ready to go. Then she put motiierly arms about her and kissed her affec- tionately and there were tears in the older woman's eyes. "I am sorry, my dear, that you have to go." Sincere regret was in her voice and matched the senti- ment in her eyes. "I am sure it must be urgent or you would stay until morning. I shall worry about you." Honey returned t h e embrace warmly. Slie had become very at- tached to the Carey in the short time she had been in their home and slie hated to part from them. ♦ ♦ • "Thank you for being .â- lO kind to me, Mrs. Carey. I shall never for- get it. I do have to go, though. You will undcr.stajid some day. And please do not worry. I shall be all right." Honey and Art crept .lilnitly out of the hoiir>e and only the noise of the motor as it was started told of their dc|)arturc. Miles flew by quickly and silence seemed to be the best companion for a long time. Art gave his atten- tion to tlie task of kce|iing on the foggy liigliway. He did not even take time out for lighting up his faithful pipe. (Continued next week.) Relativity CtFAPING Question: If uii auioiiiobile ii going fifty miles an hour and there is an insect inside that can fly at live miles an hour ,liow fast is it going if it flics from the back to the front of tlic car? Answer: This depends upon your frame of re- ference. To an observer on the Bionnd, the insect's speed would be llie speed of the car plus that of the insect, or fifty-five miles an hour. If it flew from front to back, it would be the difference between the two six'i'ds, or forty-live miles an hour. However, relative to the car itself and to an observer in it, the insect's speed would be just five miles per hour. CROSSWORD 'UZZLE 1. 4. •. Jt'. H. IB. «3. I« ,17.

O C'ori'c Answer elsewhere on this page Would you like some nice, fresh string beans .straight from the gard- en? All right then, better drop in some day and liave dinner with us and that is just what you will get. Come to think of it, you had better let us know over night when you are coming so 1 can get a carton from the locker. Yes, I admit that is where the beans are stored â€" and are they ever good I Do you re- member, away back in August, we were experimenting with green string beans? According to my frozen-food cook book, beans for the locker sliould be scalded, bleached and then packed in weak brine. After doing several cartons that way som.coiic told me that the only purpose of the scalding and brinepackiiig method was to pre- serve the colour â€" actually the beans would keep just as well if put in plain. Well, I am alw.iys ready to try an easier way of dniiig things, sii after that Cicely and 1 picked our beans, washed them, cut them tliagoiially into small pieces and packed the cartons just as tight as wo could get them. Result â€" a pint of licaiis for two cents â€" the price of (piick freezing. Not only that but they were produce from the garden that would otherwise have been waited. ^'ou know how it is with beans â€" tliey arc so prolific it's impossil)le to keep pace with them for the table. So there you are â€" just thought I woiild tell you the result of our ex- periment as you might like to try that way yourself sometime. Iielieve me, it is much easier than fus.sing aroiiiil with boiling water and brine 1 meant to have tried fresli green peas that way but we ate them all â€" there were none for the locker. Here is another experiment â€" it is not my own â€" just, one that was handed on to me. A certain party was given about a bushel of yellow corn on the cob. Not garden corn â€" just straight held corn, like farmers grow for the cows. The lady in tiuestion cooked a few cobs but it was fo tough her family couldn't eat it. lieing a frugal body she hated throwing so much good food away so she tried an experiment too. Alt she did was slice off the corn into cS^rtons just as you would for can-" ning, sent it down to the locker â€" and forgot about it. This winter she took a carton home, cooked tht corn as usual â€" and it was as nic« and tender as any she had ever fasted. • The only explanation they could give her at the locker was th« proi;ess of freezing had probably broken down the tough fibres of the corn. Maybe I should add, that as far as our beans were concerned I cooked them fifteen minutes in my pressure cooker. Ah, that priceless pressure cooker 1 I was telling Partner the other day I don't believe I could keep house without It.

Having got thus far I had to stop . . . tliere was business to see to down town. Last night I got everything ready â€" bank book,* shopping list and application form filled in lor my driver's permit. Then I got my nice new purse that was sent to me from England â€" and there I was, already to go. I went to the Post Office and then to the bank and in each case had occa- sion to use only a little small change. The drugstore was my next port of call. What I bought came to nearly two dollars. I* fumbled around in my purse for my wallet â€" and it just wasn't there! Every woman knows how hard' it is to get used to a new purse so I thought it being a little awkward I must have taken out the wallet while hunting for something else PREFABRICATED B A T H- ROOM UNIT.

What it contained wasn't a fortune but it was definitely too much to lose. I inquired at the bank and the post office and ft wasn't there. Incident- ally it left me without any money for shopping! I got around that by collecting the cream cheque. "Now look here," I said to myself, "don't get in a stew until you are sure you have something to worry about." So I took my own advice; finished my shopping, w^t home â€" and there on the table was my wallet. I had taken it out that morning to make change for our egg man! I quite agree with what one person said down town â€" "I don't mind spend- ing money, but I hate to lose it!' Who doesn't?
