Bruce rose abruptly, strode to the open door and stood looking out. A thin, misty rain had begun to fall. He tossed his cigarette out into the wet darkness and kept his eyes upon the spark until it died. He turned where he stood and looked at her. "Autumn," he said simply, "you have been living in a world where men who were skilled in the art have made love to you. I know very little about that sort of thing. When I tell you that I've thought of nothing but you since that first night I mean just that."

"And we must settle between ourselves, once and for all, what bearing that has on our own lives. I have settled it for myself." He moved back into the room and leaned against the table looking down at her. She returned his gaze for many moments without speaking. At last she got up impetuously and began to pace to and fro, her hands deep in the pockets of her coat. Bruce looked at her, and his to ripple all over muscles seemed ' his body. Her lithe, tempestuous motion back and forth across the room was like that of some beautiful, caged animal. Presently she turned on him. You and I have our own lives to live," "It's absurd she said vehemently. to think that we should be ruled by something that befell two people whom we can scarcely remember. They lived their lives as they wished I shall live mine, in my own way He lifted one of her hands and kissed its soft palm. Then he took hold of her shoulders and turned her nhnnt so that she faced him. She let her head fall back and met his eyes solemnly. "Autumn," he said. "My darling Autumn!" Autumn slipped forward and was in his arms, and Bruce was kissing her in a glowing dimness which seemed to have caught them both up from the surrounding shadows. The rain drifted in gently over the still depth of their kiss. It was a rain that left a light, glistening web over their hair, their eyes, a young rain that spun them into one indis tinguishable passion. "I love you, Bruce." Her voice n a stumbline whisper. "Terri terribly." blyso Her lips moved softly over his eyes, over me une ui mo uiumn cheek where a hollow came wnen he smiled, and over his lips and throat. Presently Bruce placed his hands strongly upon her shoulders and studied her face. "Enough to stand by me against them all?" he demanded gravely. "It will not be easy, darling at first." "I'm strong enough for anything with you, Bruce," she replied. it was lovely in the sunset and "You had a lot to do," Jarvis said, disgruntled "Now, darling, you're not going to be cross with me for that," she coaxed. "I'm in no mood for scolding." "A lot of good it would do you anyhow," the Laird replied "Not a bit, dear." She laughed at him, then went and kissed him lightly on the cheek. "But I don't want you to worry about me one bit. I d,on t want to do anything to make you unhappy and you know it." Jarvis stirred uneasily in his chair. "You're going to drive down to Kelowna tomorrow to the Parrs', aren't you?" he said, by way of changing the subject. "Arent you coming, too: sne asked him. "There's too much to do here," he told her. "Besides, what would I do spending two nights away from home when there's no call for it? I like my own bed best." "I may not stay over Sunday, then," Autumn replied. "I'm notit sure that I won't be bored with all if the rest of them are like Florian." Jarvis smiled. half-burne- il m iHflift ui wo wflfi liflliiWi (SASwi cross-questio- LONG-BURNIN- G COSTLIER TOBACCOS PCFF- -' 3 ' S0XC PLEASURE PER MORE PUFFS PER PACK n Curtains That Will Fit Your Color Schemes By RUTH WTETH SPEARS curtains of this kind I THE first saw were made of the long pieces of good material left at each side of a sheet after the center part ha(i begun to wear, to make These were dipped in dye . a soli cream coior iur uie loutiaa-tiopart of the curtains. Wide Stripes of gingham and narrow ones of prepared bias trimming were then stitched in place to make stripes. The chart shows rested upon her in a brooding gentleness. He seemed to be contemplating her, she thought with a qualm, from beyond death. She rose quickly, took a cushion which she placed on the floor at his feet, and seated herself with her head against his knees. So they sat, looking into the flames that licked at the great logs of the fireplace, while Jarvis unfolded the tragic past, sometimes stroking Autumn's hair, sometimes letting his hand fall in absent idleness upon her shoulder, as though he were communing with himself and had quite forgotten her presence. She did not interrupt him while he talked, but sat gazing fixedly into the fire. It seemed to her as if each detail of his story were fantastically visible there. "Your mother was a siren and a.i her angel, Autumn," he said, mother had been in her time. Your grandmother's hunt breakfasts were the talk of the Okanagan she had sent to England in the early days for hounds and hunters and brought them all the way 'round the Horn. Her daughter, Millicent, was even more lovely than she was. You must know this if you are to understand what I am to tell you about your mother and if you are to judge her kindly." He paused, and into the monotony of his voice came a break. "Every man who met your mother, Autumn, fell in love with her," he went on. "It was so before our marriage and it was so after our marriage. I never found that hard to understand I had fallen in love with her myself. Nor was it hard for me to understand how she came to fall back somewhat into her ways of coquetry after we had been married for a few years. Men would not leave her alone. They could not, it seemed. She loved me I have never doubted that. But I was many years older than she and she loved life and youth and gayety. I was too set in my ways, perhaps." He sighed, and Autumn patted his knee affectionately without speak- 1 "Must I be by my own daughter?" cause of the hopelessness of that love.

"There was nothing serious in any these these 'affairs,' as she called them and she always tired of her admirers as soon as the nov elty wore off, and as soon as they began to grow serious. It was an innocent sort of vanity with her, which she indulged quite openly. She loved the admiration of men, but she loved even more to let the world about her see that she was being admired. She would have found no pleasure in any sneaking love affair that was carried on where others might not see." He paused while the clock on the mantel struck the hour. It was midnight. "Not long after you were born," he continued, "Geoffrey Landor came here from the Old Country and bought the ranch that lay next to mine. We had been boys together in England. He was younger than I a sort of who had married a woman of his own age who thought she might make something of him, I think. She had written to me and it was on my advice that they left England and came here to settle. I was as anxious to bring him around as if I'd been his brother." One of the great logs broke softly in two, the sparks cascading into the glowing embers. "Geoffrey was restless and reckless and full of charm. Millicent fell in love with him and he with her. It was a new kind of love for her, but I mistook it for another of her brief infatuations. I knew it was different when it dawned on me that she never made anything of him when they were in public together.

By burning 25 O MARTHA Lovely, independent Autumn Dean, returning home to British Columbia from abroad without her father's knowledge, stops at the home of Hector Cardigan, an old family friend. He tells her that she should not have come home, that things have changed. Arriving home at the "Castle of the Norns," she is greeted e lovingly by her father, Jarvis Dean, who gives her to understand that she is for a short visit. Her mother, former belle named MUlicent Odell, has been dead for years. Autumn cannot understand her father's attitude, though gives him to understand that she is home for good. She has grown tired of life in England, where she lived with an aunt. Her father gives a welcoming dance at the castle. Autumn meets Florian Parr, dashing, young man of the countryside. Late in the evening Autumn leaves the dance, rides horseback to the neighboring ranch where she meets Bruce Landor, friend and champion of her childhood days. He takes her to see his mother, an invalid. His father is dead, thought to have killed himself. As soon as his mother sees Autumn she commands Bruce to take her away, that death follows in the wake of the Odells. Autumn is both saddened and perplexed. Bruce, apologetic, can offer no reason for his mother's attitude. Autumn calls again on Hector Cardigan this time to find out the reason for Mrs. Landor's outburst. From his conversation she inferred that Geoffrey Landor killed himself because he loved MUlicent Dean, her mother. Meanwhile, Bruce Landor rides to the spot where his father's body was found years before. There he meets Autumn, who. leaving Hector, was searching for a lost child. Bruce had found the child, and there Autumn and he talk of their families. They agree that her mother and his father loved each other deeply and that their love is the cause of present antagonism. Florian Parr, at the Castle for dinner, proposes to Autumn. She refuses him. The next day Autumn rides toward the Landor ranch. She meets Bruce in a herder's cabin. 2.
