for his guest. They toasted each
other as cordially as if there had
been no disagreement between
them, and then the Laird turned
abruptly to talking of things that
left no room for difference of
opinion.
1t was almost midnight when Au-
turnn finally came home, bringing
Linda Parr with her to stay for
few days at the Castle. The girls
came upon the two old men seated
before the fireplace, their brandy
glasses in their hands, their eyes
grown heavy from sitting up long
past their time for bed.
why, Dave had no idea you'd
be waiting for US at this hour!"
Autumn exclaimed, after greetings
had gone around. "You should have
been in bed hours ago."
She laid aside her hat and gloves
as she spoke and seated herself in
one of the Queen Anne chairs, her
feet cuHled up under her, her ell
bow resting on the arm Of the chair,
her chin pressed against her palm.
Linda sat near her, comically
prin, her hands folded in her lap,
her feet placed very precisely on
the fioor-the image of discreet pro-
priety.

CHAPTER TX

The Laird had asked old Hector
Cardigan to dinner. 1t was rarely
these days that Hector was invited
to dine alone with Jarvis Dean. In
the old days he had frequently been
a guest at the Castle, but that, as
Hector knew, had been Millicent's
doing. There had never been any,
thing but the most cordial relation
ship between the two men, however,
but Jarvis had lived too much to
himself during the years since his
wife's death.
It was not until they had left the
table, however, and had retired to
the drawing room that his host gave
any inkling of what was on his mind.
The Laird had paused In the hallway
and asked whether they would 60
to the library or sit in the drawing
room. Hector had not hesitated IN
making the choice. The library was
the one spot In the house that be-
longed peculiarly to Jarvis Dean.
The drawing room, on the other
hand, had been Millicent's and held
still some lingering aroma of her
presence there. Besides, Hector's
hand had done its best In making
the room what it was.
''Of course" Jarvis said, when
Hector had expressed his prefer
ence. ST might have known Go in

Fish and sea foods may be pur-

If fish is purchased Sin the

head, and tail included, allow one
pound of fish per serving; if pur-
chased cleaned and scaled, allow
one pound for two servings, and if
purchased in the form of fish fillets
or fish steaks, allow one pound for
three servings.
Fish cookery is simple, especially
when you use fish that is cleaned
and scaled, fillets, steaks, or the
quick-frozen products. Remember,
