than is usually experienced during
June and because of the continued
pleasant weather great many per

there are usually from 40 to 80 by

the chairman of the Canadian hydroelectc commission
and transportation commission, he asked:
"In your operation of such business enterprises
are you bothered with political patronage?"

question clear, he replied:
mo. Our politicians wouldn't dare interfere with
us in hiring employees. Our people wouldn't stand for

There was little restaurant
where Mary Rose always ate her
lunch on rainy days.
1t was not a good restaurant, nor
even a very clean one. But 1t was
only two blocks away from the Nor
rell Steel Mills and on rainy days
1t was always crowded to the doors
at noon time.
1t was THIS wet April day when
Mary Rose Middleton opened it's
rain-spattered doors and went in.
The smell of hot food and steaming
clothes and coffee made her a little
faint and dizzy as she stood waiting
to sit down.
Then a man got up from a table
for two, close beside her, and Mary
Rose sat down in the empty chair
before she saw who was sitting at
the other side of the tiny table
John Manners!
Her heart gave a Jump and she
began to ~stammer something and
get up.
Then, realizing how foolish she
must appear to him. she sat down
again and picked up the soiled,
greasy menu from the soiled, greasy
tablecloth.
"How have you been all these
long months. Mary Rose?" he asked,
when she had ordered soup and
coffee in a voice that shook.
Very we'll" she answered. with
an effort, looking at the steam-cov-
cred window beside her. She could
feel his gray eyes on her face and
she couldn't trust herself to meet
them.
But at last. she made herself look

Suddenly Mary Rose didn't like
him quite so well as she had. She
hated that phrase-"gras or sod?'
Il married DR.. Fitzroy when he
was dying" she said coldly, and
looking at him she saw that he was
watching her narrowly. 1t came over
her. swift as lightning. that this
man was in love with her.
He put out his hand and touched
the bare third finger other left hand
with one of his. She drew it away.
The mere touch of any man in the
world was hateful to her-any man
but John Manners.
II notice you don't wear any wed
ding ring-Mrs. Fitzroy." Tuydeman
observed. flushing larkly as he saw
her snatch her hand away.

told her mother that night when
they were doing up the supper
dishes. This was the time of day
when they always talked over things.

Mrs. Middleton, as she emptied the
gray soapy water out Of the dish
pan.
II don't think he's nice now"
Mary Rose answered. with a quick
shake of her head. HE tried to take
hold of my hand today. 1 think he's
getting a little crush on me-"
Mrs Middleton gave her gay little
tinkle of a laugh that was so like
F'lossie's. That's a funny reason
for not liking a young man-be-
cause he's fallen in love with you.
she said. Mary Rose, think you're
a puzzle.

he said at last. "I can remember the
way the girls all used to laugh at
her for being so jealous Of him. She
would sulk all evening if he danced
twice with anybody but her.
And then several years ago they
got engaged But for some reason or
other the marriage didn't come off.
There was some talk about her re-
fusing to marry him at the last min
ute because she thought he was in
love with a red-haired widow he met
at college
Mary Rose felt herself suddenly
hot with jealousy Of a red-haired
widow that she had never heard of
before in her life!
But If he was in love with any
red. haired widow. he must have got
over it in short order" Cornelius
Tuydeman's even voice went on.
For. first thing knew. he and Miss
HING were going everywhere togeth-
err again. But l guess the engage
ment's off for good this time. They
tell me that she's rushed off to Eu.

He laughed. with another flash of
his splendid teeth. 1--WE bachelors, "
he said. and shook his head as if
whatever he had to say about Jus
bachelors" was too good to be said
aloud.N
Il thought you We're a bachelor
girl, too, until today" he said. But
Jack Manners tells me you've been

He nodded. "Yes-I wrote to you

hesitating on the name Of Toms

Rose lifting her proud little chin.
The waiter brought her soup in a
thick white bowl, and she tried to
eat it. But she was hot and
trembling all over. Her body, her
brain. and her heart seemed to be
chanting altogether: II love him! I
love him."
Manners pushed his hslf-emptied
plate back trifie on the table.

said savagely and called a waiter
for his bill.
Hes going-he's going" thought
Mary Rose with a sinking of her
heart. "In a minute he'll be gone
and then maybe I'll never see him
again"
He half-rose from his chair. and
then sat down again.

low tone. your little sister. Flossie,

blow with his fist.

asked.
"Of course"
And you didn't believe me that
