escapes by a ruse. He fees to Duseel-

You remember that Monica told
me, the last time I had seen her,
that she was shortly going to
SchIoss Bellevue, a shooting box
belonging to her husband, to ar
range some shoots in connection
with the governmental scheme for
putting game on the market.
Monica, you will recollect, had
offered to take me with her, and
l had fully meant to accompany her
but for Gerry's unfortunate per-
sistence in the matter of my pass
port.
I now proposed to Francis that
we should avail ourselves Of Mon
ica's offer and make for Castle
Bellevue. The place was well sit
uated for our purpose as it lies
near Cleves, and in its immediate
neighborhood is the Reichswald, that
great forest which stretches from
Germany, clear across into Holland.
All through my wanderings, / had
kept this forest in the back of my
head as a region which must offer
facilities for slipping unobserved
across the frontier. Now j learnt
from Francis, that he had spent
months in the vicinity of Cleves,
and l was not surprised to find.
when / outlined this plan to him
that he knew the Reichswald pretty
well.
"It'il be none too easy to get
across through the forest" he said

T TEAD over heels thousands of
~ women have Topped into
weird and wonderful occu-
pations because of war i,e-
cessities. Women mechanics are
no longer a rarity, the woman con-
ductor or longshoreman or black
smith or machinist is a sober, Sc
-ious fact, and not merely a car
toonist's fancy.
Now, since women have proved
that when the emergency arose they
were able to handle the typicalIy
mems manual jobs, why can't we
go a step further now that the
mere emergency situation is no
longer so pressing? Why can't more
women take serious training for
those manual occupations for which
they have a taste?
Before the war, il woman had
a genuine desire to be a carpenter
or plumber, or even adopt the
professional calling of architec-
ture, she needed courage more than
ability. For man held these tasks
to be sacredIy his own. None of
these were women's jobs. The few
women architects who are succeed
ing face as much opposition as
women lawyers or doctors did ten
years ago.
But while there are manual jobs,
and sometimes difficult muscular
ones at that. I see no reason why
women should not take serious
training for them. ] see a tremen-
dous advantage in having women
take up the manual crafts con-
nected with housebuilding. be-
lieve if our houses were designcd d
by women architects, built by wom-
en- masons and carpenters and
plumbers and painters and plaster
ers they would be far more COM

I hurried out, and just as l got
into the living-foom, there stood
Jim, with his hand on the knob OF
the door. He wore hat and coat
and was leaning on a heavy stick.

crossed to a stiff. high-backed
chair. He laid hat and stick across
the table and sat austerely waiting
for me to begin. 1 came and stood
