You must stand by her and keep
whatever promises you made"
eAll right" he answered.
But, Joan, he looked like a man re-
eeiying death sentence. What have
1 done to him-to them both?
I have always shuddered at mar
fiages which were made at the point
Of a pistol 30 to say. Do you re-
member the little Virgins girl who
came to the good women of Bents-
ellie and cried, "But l don't want to

want to see him again"
And do you remember how, follow

I've been thinking all night OF her.
Wouldn't it have been better to have
sent her away somewhere and helped
her to a fresh start? She was nice
little thing, helpful and full of intelli-
gence. But she had no mother or
father; no one to teach her right from
wrong. No one to take an interest or
give her a good time. She thought
Willie Mason was her friend, and she
was eager and wistful-and grateful.
Isn't it something the same with
Wallis and Mrs. Kymbal? She be-
friended him when he needed help
desperately. And he probably con-
fused his gratitude with love. Per-
haps gratitude is love, OF sort. But
where there is no more than, graf
itude and pity left, is marriage right?
The trouble is that she wants it.
She believes he loves her. There are
people like that-who can believe
what they want to believe. After all,
Joan, perhaps her love for him is
enough for two Perhaps she can
bring back the feeling he frankly adj
mits he had for her when he was
Ill at her home in England during the
war If not, perhaps she can be
satisfied with less than love.
But can no? These dreadful prob

had changed his life and mine for

and sat with head a little to one side
in a listening attitude. In the blue
CLEAN of the lightning, l saw that his
eyes were still tightly closed. He was
talking like man in his sleep.
"The poor kids gone west!" he said
at last with sigh and he seemed to
wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Lets thank God he didn't suffer any
longer, Buddy!" He dropped fiat on
the couch and his voice thrilled me:
Come on, now, son! Quick! Straight
ahead"
And then he turned to crawl-as al
infant creeps-as the bravest soldiers
must creep when shells hammer the
earth close to them!
Ny heart seemed to stop Its beating.

Seeing me in that house, in that yelled
bridal dress, Bob must think me a
dream-woman-a wrath Of happiness.
A mere glimpse of me, reveiled in a
lightning flash, might disturb the deli
cate mechanism of his shell-shocked
brain-and make him mad forever!
More than once the doctors had
warned the Lorimer family that Bob
lived and moved on the verge of in

Blackness like that of the tomb

crept over me. Had the wish Of many

restrictions imposed on shipping that
otherwise might be available for
carrying British coal.
The result is that traders abroad
who want coal are getting it from
other regions" it says. The South
American trade has fallen almost i'll
evitably into the hands of shipown-
ers from the United States; but more
ominously still is the fact that ship
ments from Virginia are coming
almost daily to ports of Europe.
Gothenburg. Dunkirk, Antwerp, Rot
terdam. Lisbon. Genoa and other
ports of Italy are receiving Ameri-
can coal at freight rates which only
their urgent needs can justify. Even
to Port Said American coal has been
shipped.
1.-The question arises whether this
is merely a passing phase due to the
present scarcity of tonnage, Or
whether these American ships ore
the pioneers of a new form of en-
terpriS5 of the Western continent
which is destined to become per-
-Tnahent feature of trade. 1t must not
be assumed that, witt. the increase
of British shipping that will assured
ly come in q year or two, the old
lines of trade will so easily be re-
gained. The river plate trade may
to considerable extent be written
off.
"The greater proximity of Eu-
ropean ports to the United Kingdom
will be an advantage to British
shipowners in their endeGvor to re-
gain the continental trade, but it will
be no easy task to break the trade

The liquid is pleasant to use. being
neither greasy nor sticky. 1t is a
simple thing to apply with a clean
tooth brush at night when the hair
is down. The lovely wavy effect in
evidence in the morning is all that
one could wish for. 1t costs little
to use liquid silmerine, as a few
ounces from the druggist will keep
the hair in curl for weeks.
