I’m. . sure Senora will always like the locket.” Dale grinned, nodded. ‘Sure ‘she will. Come on—Senore,” he said and laughéd aloud when she flushed again, rosily. They had dinner in an_ hilarious little Mexican restaurant on the edge of. the palm-green oasis. A crowded, CHAPTER XII: . The sun was already high, a scald- ing light set directly overhead, when Devona and Dale rode back across the mesa on mounts weary and do- cile enough now. “Darling, let’s not go right back to the house,” Dale suggested as they came over a canyon’s rim where the: into the little valley below. not yet. Can’t we have this day just to ourselves?” “Yes—tet’s.”” . Devona smiled hap- pily, still scarcely aware that there was a real world to go back to, everyday problems to solve. ~. Dale sent their tired horses back to the stables by means of a smiling Mexican lad and a silver coin. Then, aimlessly, hand-in-hand, they wan- dered through Palm Springs’ little curio shops where dark-eyed Mexi- can girls tried to sell them every- thing from serapes to hammered sil- ver souvenirs. “The Senora will like this, Senor,” one sly, dark-eyed girl insisted, hold- ing- an exquisitely intricate silver locket in the palm of her hand. Dale grinned, turned to her. “How about it—Senora?” he teased. Flushing, Devona tried to pretend unconcern. “It’s very lovely.” But not half so lovely: as this playing at -being Dale’s—wife. Just make-be- lieve now, for fun, of course. But some day—— Her heart beat so hard it made her hands tremble as she picked up the lovely locket, pretended to ex- amine it closely. “Put. it on, darling,” Dale insist- ed, snapped the fastener around her neck himself when she demurred. “Like it?” She nodded. “But Dale, please— I didn’t mean. 2 “I like it, too,” and calmly laid green bills on the counter. “Dale—please. You mustn’t——” Her fingers fumbled with the slender clasp. “And why not?” He caught her hands, held them prisoner. ‘If I want to buy you something to—re- member this day by, why shouldn’t r2" As if. she’d need anything to make her remember this day, Devona thought, smiling. But she didn’t have a chance to tell him that. The Mexi- can shopkeeper was back now with the change.

Gloriously alone, worlds away from the laughing Mexicans, the noisy tourists that elbowed them. Devona had no idea what they were eating. She was only aware of the tenderness in Dale’s blue eyes meet- ing her again and again across. the little table, of the touch of. Dale’s hand on hers when from time to time, he reached for it, held it tight locket lay cool and tangible against the pulse that throbbed in the soft billow of her throat. “Happy?” Dale asked her once. She .nodded, blinded a little. by sudden tears. “Too happy to be true.” He scowled suddenly. “Don’t say that, darling. It has to be true.” Of course; -she—smiled,—but—egain that funny little. feeling of appre- hension. It grew stronger as the eve- ning slipped away and it was finally time to return to the hacienda. “I’m afraid they'll have a posse out after us if we don’t show up pretty soon,” Dale said as they walk- ed through the cool, moon-splashed shadows up to the big white -ha- cienda. They stood a long moment in the tiled hallway trying to say good night. t “Love me, darling?’ pered, held her close. “Love you, darling.” He kissed her then, lingeringly, as if he couldn’t stop.. Then, “Good night, sweet. You'll be up before I leave in the morning?” ; “Of course. Good night” and press- ing her own'kiss against the warmth of his mouth, she smiled, slipped out of his arms and ran quickly up the tiled stairway: It was past midnight and most of the rooms were dark now, Devona noticed as she sped silently along the wide hallway. Still from under her mother’s door a shaft of yellow light crossed the polished floor. Vara was. still awake. Devona ‘hesitated. Why not tell her now? She might be anxious about Devona’s long ab- sence. She would surely be relieved to know Devona’s future was all solved. On softly. “Come in.” Heart pounding, she pushed opes the door. Vara, like some mid-sum- mer night’s queen, lay against her mound of frothy pillows, a manu- script in one hand, a cool smile curv- ing her lips. , “Well—it’s you! where you were.” “I went for a ride——” Vara’s eyebrows lifted. “From dawn until midnight? Hardly.” “No—Dale sent the horses back about noon and we had dinner in——-” Dale whis- impulse, Devona. knocked We've wondered @ moment. And the dainty, filagreed |. “Dale?” Vara looked at her stead- ily. “I see.” “Mother—Vara, I mean—I came to tell you—something—I ” Her tongue tripped awkwardly over the thrilling news. “Tell me first why you insist on tagging Dale around all day.” “I wasn’t. I mean—we rode out on the mesa and then I—we——” In the face of her motrer’s cool little smile, Devona felt enthusiasm and confidence ebbing swiftly. ‘Well “You needn’t bother about me any more, Vara. About my career or anything, I mean. You see, I’m go- ing to marry Dale,” she blurted fin- ally. For an instant Vara just looked at her. Then, with ominous quiet, “You are going to marry whom?” “Dale. found it out to-day. That we love each other, I mean.” Trembling, she sat down on the edge of a chair, torturing her riding gloves as she waited for Vara’s ap- proval. Naturally her mother would be glad to have everything solved this easily. “Are you sure?” The question came ¢ool and sharp as ae stiletto thrust. “But—of course. We——_" Vara calmly lit a cigarette. “Did he set the date for the wedding?” “Oh, no. Not yet. We just. ” “Did he ask you—in so many words—to be his wife?” Vara’s gray eyes were leveled at her, her insinua- tion only too clear.” “why——” Devona hesitated. He hadn’t actually said—but, of course —he’d méant—— . ‘J thought so,” smoothly. s “But—he said he loved me, wanted never. to lose me——” Desperately she thought back through the long, glorious day, remembering his exact words, his—— . ; “Believe me, dear, when I tell you to put Dale Brasher out of your mind,” she went on quietly. “I’m only sparing you suffering. And now —” with sudden bright cheerfulness “—I have really good news for you.” Devona just looked at her, mute, stricken. “I had an answer to my wire to that. college I spoke to you about. For a small additional registration fee, you can enter late. And with your background of travel, languages, and all that—” Vara bundled De- vona’s 19 years into a pretty ges- ture—“you can easily make up any requirements you don’t have for a degree.” Devona nodded, scarcely listening. “George is making all the arrange- ments for you: You can. take the evening train from Los Angeles to- on He loves me. Vara went on a little shopping in the morning.” “All right,” Devona agreed dully. It didn’t matter now. Nothing mat- tered.

Ring Bells In Britain When Invasion Comes A ringing question jarred Britain to-day amid swelling talk of invasion in high places and low. “Who,” the Bishop of Chelmsford wants to know, “is going to ring the bells which are supposed to tell the populace that invasion has begun?” Soldiers dre busy digging fresh trenches in the park and are unwind- ing new barbed wire to fortify al- most every bush and. tree, but the Bishop’s. poser is perplexing lots of persons, It’s this way: Britain’s churches are locked at night. Comes the invader. What happens? Some one has got to get the key, which usually is kept at. the rectory. The rectory often is some distance, perhaps miles, from the church. Suppose panting Paul. Reveres reach the rectory. Comes more con- fusion. Parson must be roused. Suppose the parson hasn’t got: the key. -He must refer one to the ver- ger, who must be found, awakened and asked for the key. In any event, the verger, or more expert beli-ringer, should be on hand to ring the bells because church bell ringing is not like ringing a dinner bell, experts point out, and an ame- teur might crack the bell or jam the clapper. ' es Some solutions suggested include: 1. . Furnish the home guards with skeleton keys to the churches and give them a little instruction in pro- per bell ringing technique. 2. -Substitute rockets for bells. X-Ray Examination To Be Given To All Soldiers On Their Discharge Dr. G. P. Wherrett, of Ottawa, executive secretary of the Canadian Tuberculosis Association, said in his report of the association’s annual meeting that all members of the armed forces will be given an X-ray examination on discharge. This precautionary measure was expected to clear up many difficulties as to pension claims which had been so hard to solve. since the last war. Dr. Wherrett believed that. claims could be more fairly judged with an X-ray film of the soldier on attesta- tion, and another one on discharge. Tuberculosis had not been able to impede Canada's war effort in the First Great War because of the antt- tuberculosis work accomplished in recent years. “At this stage of the First Great War the problem of tuberculosis was assuming alarming proportions,” he said. “Hundreds of men were in hos- pitals and returning from overseas with tuberculosis.” Dr. J. A. Jarry, of Montreal, in his presidential address, said “that up- wards of 2,000 Canadians have been found unfit for (military service be- cause of an old~or present tuber- culosis.” This represented an in- cidence of 1.4 per cent. - Just Conquered Land Slovakians Have No ‘Illusions About Status Under Nazi Rule More than 800 pilots and observers have been transferred. from ‘“‘inde- pendent” Slovakia’s air force into the German Luftwaffe under decree of Premier Tuka, Berlin’s puppet in Bratislava. At the same time a num- ber of Slovak anti-aircraft units have been distributed in small groups among German army units. The move was mede without Slo- vakia’s diet being consulted or in- formed. It represents for Slovakians the shattering of their last illusion. that the nation set up by the Ger- mans as “independent” is anything more than another conquered land to be Nazi-exploited. Many of Slovakia’s state-owned oil wells, early appropriated by the Nazis, are reported running dry be- cause of intense exploitation. In sey- eral instances, production was step- ped up to three times original yield. —Cleveland Press. : GEMS OF THOUGHT | NATIONS A nation is. the unity of a people. —Coleridge.

TO SHINE ON THE COURTS Develop Expert Footwork . How discouraging, when you'd like to play terinis well, to be always miss” ing balls, to appear the incurable dud! But cheer up! By. practicing with the right instructions you..can im- prove your form; learn to play a top- notch game. When balls are missed. or “foozled,” the trouble often is poor footwork. Never turn and run at a ball usless you cannot reach it otherwise. You may end up off balance, with feet tangled: : To ‘keep balanced, in a_ position from which you can hit hard and ac- curately, learn to “two-step’’ toward the ball. . Suppose your opponent’s shot is coming toward your forehand, a little ahead of you. Step forward with jyour left foot always ahead, your right foot dragging after—as our diagram shows. If the shot were coming to your backhand, you would “two-step” to- ward it in the same. way, but with the right foot leading. Other phases of tennis are as sim- ple to master—and you can make a hit this Summer with your fast, ac- curate game.

During a recent visit. to military stations in the West Country he was accompanied by. a superlatively officious official who did not conceal. his loathing for the press and tried hard to keep accredited newspaper- ‘men out of sight. ‘ At last Mr. Menzie, having dis- covered what was happening, called the reporters to him and proceeded to give them a long and interesting personal talk on his morning’s ex- perience. ; 4 The ‘exasperated official stood this impropriety for a few minutes. Then, his irritation overcoming his polite- ness and good judgment, he marched up to Mr. Menzies saluted, and said sternly: “Excuse me, sir, your lunch is waiting.” : i Mr.. Menzies turned towards him, looked him coldly up and down for some seconds, and observed with slow deliberation: “Push off. You must have. seen that I.am engaged in an important interview with the press. Push off.’ And with this. remark and a vast sweep of the arm, Mr. Menzies blotted the official out of the landscape. He did not reappear. I like the story. very much. It is éthical, artistic, instructive and true. —London News Chronicle.
