CHAPTER ELEVEN

A thousand thoughts raced
through Jill's head as she hurried
toward the house in answer tc
Peter Fenwicks summons.
Had he discovered her identity ?
Had someone overheard Dougald's
story to her and reported it to the
master Of the house? She re-
jected this idea almost immedi-
ately, realizing that the gardener
would have been called with her.
She wondered IL Nina. who so
obviously disliked her. had gone to
her father and made a complaint
that might result in her being dis
missed.
Trying to hide her inner fears,
she knocked timidly on the door of
Fenwick's sitting room. which also
served him as private study and
office. and walked slowly in as she
heard his command to enter.
Little Opportunity
She had had little opportunity
to acquaint herself with her EN-
ployer since being in the house,
despite the fact that she had seen
him in the dining room when she
helped serve and later in the So
larium during the bridge game.
In the dining room, she was so
startled by seeing Brock Lands
that she observed virtually no one
else, and later her conversation
with Lands and Nina's vicious
TRADE against her had driven
everything else out of her mind.
So now she saw Peter Fenwick
as IL for the first time, as he sat
in the heavy. leather swivel chair
back OF his desk.
He was large man. thick
through the shoulders and his

resting on the desk in front Of
him, looked powerful.
His large red face was heavily
lined about the nose, and there
were grim lines at the sides of his
thick Tipped mouth. His hair was
iron gray as was his cropped
mustache.
His slate colored eyes, looking
out beneath neatly trimmed gray
brows. appeared to bore right
through her.
He was, as Dougald had indi-
Gated, a hard man and the girl
felt her knees quaking slightly as
she stopped on the far side of the
desk and faced him.
You're Talbot ?" he demanded
in gruff voice that seemed to
rasp like a heavy file.
Yes, sir"
He opened one Of his hands
which was lying on the desk, and
Jill, with a start, saw a gold
banded ring on the palm.
1t was her ring, the intaglio
which had belonged to her uncle
and which had been cut down to
fit her ring finger.
1t was the one thing she had
forgotten to rid herself of when
she left the hotel.
II had been on her finger, and
she had forgotten it until she
came to the house. Then she re-
membered and removed it. hiding
it under the pillow of her bed.
Check Room
She had intended, the first
chance she had to get to town, to
leave it with her other things in
the hotel check room.
Where did you get this ring ?"
Fenwick demanded.
Ring ?" Her only chance she
saw, was 10 try 10 run a bluff.
"Yes-this ring here"
May I see it, sir ?" Her mind
was racing at express speed, try
ing to think OF some explanation
for having it.
The man handed 1t over. She
examined 1t closely, saw IL was
indeed her ring, with the initial
"T'' in the onyx.
"Oh, this ring" she said, fin
ally II found it,

roared the question. Where ?"

Answer: A very simple day,

or none depends upon whether you
like to wear hat (as dol OF
whether you like to 90 without

A WEDDING BREAKFAST
Dear Mrs. Post: Would sand
witches and wedding cake and a
fruit punch In which to drink the
bride and groom's happiness be
suitable and sufficient to serve at
a wedding breakfast at about ten
thirty in the morning.
Answer: Yes, 1t would be quite
all right. At first thought. break
fast coffee and rolls seem more
appropriate at that hour than
punch and sandwiches, but since
coffee is not quite suitable as a
beverage in which to drink a toast,
think your suggestion is best.

OF five women who have been play

these women have reached a point
where they are not only friendly

the other one stays away, and vice

they avoid each other noticeably.
This makes US all uncomfortable.
The three OF US like both OF them
very much and don't want to show
any Partially. But how Is this
possible
Answer: would suggest adding
three more players so that you
have two tables. As It is, you
always have one player left over,
and II you added the new ones the
uncongenial two could always play
at different tables. Or. II for any
reason you don't want to add a

prices largely reflected speculative
anticipation of foreign purchases of
livestock products and grains, due

price level, the BAE reported Sat

Cash corn prices advanced about
IS cents per bushel and cash oats
prices about cents per bushel,
following the outbreak of war in
Europe. Prices of these grains for
the week ended September l6 were
at the highest level since before

Since September barley prices
have advanced about 8 cents, but
