They neared the train gate. John tightened his grasp on her arm. "Will they let you go down with me, Gay?" "I'd like to see anybody stop me. My grandfather owned most of the New York, New Haven and Hartford once." The official at the gate asked no questions. They started down the stairs. "It was the chin up that did it" John said. "Oh, I don't think they care, especially late like this." They descended into the chill air and murky light of the lower level. at le com-Iplete- j Kit " be-lis- prln-cesses- "We'll have to wait," John sighed.

I'll be tied down pretty closely after Dr. Sargeant sails, except on Wednesday afternoons and evenings." "May I come to see you some Wednesday afternoon?" "Would you. Gay?" His face brightened. "I want my mother and sisters to meet you. And my grandmother. You'll love my grandmother." She glanced at him and away. "What?" he asked. "More family? Can we risk it?" "They'll love you." "I hope so." She hesitated, then continued. "I'm sorry," she said. "I wanted" "I love you." "I love you." call echoed past them. They made for the vestibule of the train. "Better not go aboard. Miss," the porter said pleasantly. "We leave in one mo' minute." "One more minute, John." He caught her into his arms. Their lips met and clung. A second call echoed. He broke away from her arms. The porter leaned out of the vestibule. John raced Into the train, colliding with the Negro. "Good-by,- " he called as the train began to move. "Good" She ran a few steps beside the car. John caught her hand, dropped It. "Remember. Some Wednesday afternoon." The train picked up speed.

CHAPTER XI John stopped his car before a square frame house set flush with the pavement along a street of square frame houses separated by lawns. stretches of The late afternoon light was gray and a sharp wind blew in across Casco Bay. John, stepping out of the car, glanced up through bare branches of elms, serene and gracious in summer, etched now in bleak austerity against a cold gray sky. There was snow in the wind, he thought. A March blizzard would probably leave in its wake an epidemic of influenza. Nothing to do about it though. He sunk his chin into the collar of his bearskin coat and started across the icy pavement to the steps of the house. A child's voice, shouting, drew him to the fence, parallel to the street He looked through brown skeletons of lilac bushes into the side yard. "Hi, Commodore!" he called. The shouting stopped. Nathaniel d Adams, Dr. Sargeant's grandson, standing on the seat of a garden swing strung with an intricate network of ropes and string, waved a mittened hand toward him. "I'm Admiral Byrd," he called. it going? "Oh, are you? How' Land in sight?" "We're in desprit straits," Ad miral Byrd in a blue and red snow-suand high buckled galoshes shouted cheerfully across the icefloes of the Antarctic. "Radio's gone dead. Can't get a squeak out of her anyhow." "That's serious," John sympathized. "Have you tested the tubes?" "Aya. Deader'n a door-nail.- " John smiled, marveling at the rapidity with which a child adapted himself to an environment Young Nat had been born in the Philippines and cut his teeth in San Francisco, but his "Aya" was as authentic as though, instead of six months, he had spent the six years of his life in Maine. "Well, keep your courage up. You ought to sight land by morning." "Maybe you can find out what's wrong with it?" Nat suggested. Excuse me "Sorry, old man. Admiral. I'm a doctor, not a radio technician." "You could try anyway, couldn't you?" the child persisted. "Got to keep moving, Nat You'd better come in pretty soon. This wind is cold." John went into the house. Lamps were lit in the wide hallway. The warm air made his face burn. He threw off his coat and went to the mirror. table beneath a The day's accumulation of mail lay there in a tidy heap. John ran through it rapidly. Nothing from Gay. There had been nothing tor three days. That was not unusual, though. Sometimes he received two letters a day. Again several days would pass without a message from her. He'd hoped there would be something today. Her letters were graphic, amusing, affectionate. He enjoyed them. Well (TO BE CONT1SIED) d d Laundry Experts Advise Mending Before Washing The tradition that mending follows washing as inevitably as spring follows winter is being gradually discarded In favor of the reverse way of doing things. Proponents of the modern school of laundering now advocate doing the mending first There are several advantages in getting the repair work out of the way before clothing and household furnishings go Into the laundry. A small hole in a sock is likely to become a large one in handling. A frayed buttonhole may be torn apart or the thin portion of a sheet give way entirely. Perhaps it Is just as well to exempt loose or missing buttons from advance restoration and sew them on later. But patching, and such darning, reinforcing, things, if done in advance, will prolong the life of the laundry bag's contents materially. The chief objection to this order used to be natural distaste for handling soiled laundry, but discriminating people no longer delay washing until clothing and linens become unpleasant to touch and smell. Practical reasons, as well as aesthetic ones, have brought about more frequent washing. Soil and perspiration left in fabrics wear them out through erosion and chemical action. And the vigorous handling needed to remove these harmful substances In washing causes additional wear and tear. Frequent laundering with abundant soap and water and a minimum of rubbing is far more satisfactory in the long run than Ihe mistaken thrift which may induce prolonged wear without washing. mm ceiling, dissolve one pound of alum in one gallon of strong vinegar.
