The first demand will presum-

purpose and objective to push
Russian air bases back 500 miles
north of Vladivostok, and $50
miles west of Khabarovsk.
The second demand, If made,
would have for its aim the pre-
venting Of America from obtaining

AT the Printery there was a
telegram from Simon. The success
OF his negotiations with the book
cup officials had more than come
up TO expectations. He would be
pack IN Montreal at five that af-
ternoon. Would she meet him at
the airport? And there was love
for her.
Gillian could find little happi-
ness in the day. She had so often
to pass that locked cupboard
where, deep hidden beneath the
reams of musty paper, there Law
left. ~
In the joy of seeing Simon, tall
and smiling, his eyes searching
the crowd for her, she forgot her
rousseau. He held her close to
him, and laughing, crying, she
chung to him and said, ooh, ST.
mon, it's been so long!"
Darling! I was hoping you'd
say that. 1t was an age for me too.
And you miss me-"
Simon had no chance to con-
tlnue until they were seated in
the taxi.
Il thought there'd be a wire
from you, Gillian. Did you 90

"Yes-yes, Simon. I'm afraid
there is nothing very wonderful
there. I told you not to build so
much on the hope that there
would be a masterpiece, because

Simon was frowning, his lower
lip caught in his teeth. This had
been a blow to him. ''I-I can't

Il know, Simon. I'm sorry. But
but there are other things.
There will be other books, greater
ones. And you have enough of

pie OF volumes. They should do

"Yes-well, we'll have to be
content with that. You're all that

whiting until then? It's-it's just
that today I don't"
''Why, what is it, Gillian? I
you know I could not get this be-
fore, but you also know I'd SET
my heart on it. I want to see you
wear it. Still, you must have your
reasons. I'll submit. But I'll have

I love you"
But Gillian could not have let
Simon put that ring on her fin
ger, not until her hands were free
of Jaffry Clay's story. She could
not. Tomorrow she would wear it
with pride. Tonight, when she
consigned that thing to the kindly
flames, there would be no ring of
Simon's on her finger.
It was late when Simon left Gill
liam at her apartment. He said he
was tired after the hurry and ex-
element of his trip. He would 60
straight home.
She gave Simon plenty of time
to be on his way, then moved out
of the doorway and along the
street.
She stood for a while across the
square from the Printery. She
crossed the square then and open
ed the door.
She went cautiously upstairs,
feeling her way.
Finding the manuscript, she laid
it on Simon's desk, pulled it from
the envelope and carried it to the
fireplace. She found a book of
matches in her pocket and struck
one and carried the flame to the
top sheet. It caught slowly, the
flame creeping over the black
lines, like the tide across the sand,
blotting them out forever.
Faster, faster, she urged - burn

eaten away, as his name had
been eaten before them.
"Thank God!' she whispered.

ment, dazzled, she did not real
ize what had happened. She stood
up, turned slowly, to meet ST.

"Why, Gillian; Whatever are
you .doing?"
II was burning-some rubbish -
ooh, some odds and ends. Nothing
important"
''But why in the dark, Gillian?
I left my brief case here and re-
membered when I was part way

her hand flew to her throat, and
her eyes dilated and all her life
seemed to stop. She could not
move, could not speak, could not
tear her gaze from the envelope
on Simon's desk. From where she
stood she could see the bold let
tiers of the label-"Journal of My
Loves" And "Jaffry Clay" below

and picked it up.

She managed to speak at last.

Now you can take it, for once and
all, from me; burned his story,
yes; And it he'd written a thou
sand like it, I'd have burned
them too. And if you think the
world is any worse off for not be-

ly. "You wouldn't have gone out
of your way to lie to me, you
wouldn't have burned that manu-
script, if you were not afraid of
it, of what it might do to you. You
couldn't afford to let it see the

She said, "Tll 60 now, Simon.

"What e1se?" He threw the en-
pity envelope on the desk and
looked forlornly at it and at her.
''This was why you would not

noon. You had to do this rotten
thing first. Then you could have
worn it with what you could call

Former School
Head Called
an Embezzler

oPORT HURON, MICH, Sept.
Notwithstanding Attorney
Duncan j. McColl, Jr., of st.
Clair county said today a war
rant had been issued charging
Laurens A. Packard, resigned
school superintendent here, with
embezzlement.
Prosecutor McColl said that
Packard, who resigned his post
August 20, after having been
superintendent since 1923, was
charged with embezzling ap-
proximately $1,1O0 during the
school years 1899 and 1910.
An audit of school payrolls
since 1882 showed that $6,721.21
was received by Packard and re-
corded as assigned to him by the
teachers, McColl said. The teach
ers denied making such assign
ments, McColl said.
Packard, a., a native of South
Haven and graduate of the Uni
versity of Michigan, came here
as teacher in 1923. He is Gov
ernor of the 152nd District of
Rotary International.
When resigning as superin-
tendent, Packard said he was
quitting because of school board
criticism of his policies.
