 The driver climbed in the front seat, turned for instructions. Beryl gave him the hospital address, stepped back up to the curb.
 There's one other thing" she said to Jackie, leaning toward her before she closed the door between them. Don't tell Roger yet that l told you the truth about him. Even the truth may be wrong. We won't accept it until there is no hope left. You must still stand by-and hope and pray-with all your heart, Jackie
 "Oh, I willy It was not difficult to promise this.
 And don't forget to tell him that you love him, really love him" Beryl called, as the car pulled away from the curb.

 Jackie gave Beryl's arm little squeeze. "It's like you to say that, she said. But it isn't true" But it must be true that Roger loved her, or he would not have called her name. Now nothing could stop the tumult of Jackie'S heart. For beside this, everything else faded into in- significance. Roger loved her--as she loved him.
 You must tell him that you changed your mind" Beryl said. She hailed a taxi driver, gave him Jackie's bag. You must go back to the hospital, Jackie, and tell Roger that you aren't going away. Tell him you changed your mind about the engagement, too. That you still are going to hold him to it-until the bitter end" Beryl smiled at this last.

EARLY FISHING AT
 LAKE QUASSAPAUC
Seasons Opening Ar= ranged to Permit Anglers
 to Fish Over Week=End

Hartford, May 26. - The State Board of Fisheries and Game today announced advancement of the opening date for fishing on four state-regulated trout ponds so that they may be available to anglers over the weekend and Memorial Day.
 The waters, in which rainbow trout have been introduced, usually are closed to fishing until June l.
 The four ponds are West Hill Pond, New Hartford; Green Falls Reservoir, Voluntown; Saltwater Pond. Torrington, and Lake Quas- sapaug, Middlebury Woodbury.
 In anticipation of record turnout of anglers the board has arranged that boats provided at the Volun- town pond will be available to fisher men only for three-hour periods during the holiday weekend.
 Although the general trout fishing season begins April l5, rainbow trout fishing in several ponds and lakes has been restricted until after the spring spawning period of this species has elapsed.
 Other special regulations also ap- ply to the four ponds mentioned. These include extension of the trou. fishing season to October 31, daily catch limit of five trout and a min imum length limit of 10 inches.

Important Time to Exercise Is When
Man Is Busy Recreation Necessary

The most important time of all for
the busy man to take recreative
exercise is when he has no time
for it, declares DR.. Dudley B. Reed
in an article entitled Exercise,
which appears in Hygeia, the Health
magazine.
eff he is so driven by this and
that that he doesn't have minute
for such unnecessary fol-de-rol it is
almost essential that he take the
time if he wishes his next days and
his next weeks work to be efficient, I"
says the author.
The man who has plenty of time
for recreation has no great need
of it. What he probably needs is
a little work. That would be the
real change for him. 1t is the
busy man, not the idler, who Sc
cures change and relaxation in
this way. If there are differences
in the pressure of work on him he
may omit his recreation when
his work is light, but he must put
it in when work is heavy.
A most desirable time for this
type of recreation is when the po-
tential exerciser is nervously tired.
Many a man, at the close of a
particularly trying day, feels too
tired to do anything but throw him

BIT if his WEAKNESS is from nerv-

that physical recreation removes
his fatigue and makes new man
of him for the evening. This
will not be the case if the fatigue
is muscular.
For most persons occupied with a
profession or business the best time
of the day for recreation is late
afternoon, finishing the activity
preferably an hour before dinner.
Particularly is this a good time if
there is to be work of an intellectual
character in the evening.
