CHAPTER XVI.—Continued.

The recognition of the great thing
that had come into her life left her a
little breathless and shaken. But she
did not seek to evade or deny it. The
absolute candour of her mind—can-
did even to itself—accepted the truth
quite simply and frankly. No false
shame that she had, as far as actual
fact went, given her love unasked,
tempted her to disguise from herself
the reality of what had happened. For
good or ill, whether Blaise returned
her love or no, it was his:

its scented burden of pink and white |

studiously above a bush rose and
there was a gleam, half angry, half

went uncertainly to his pocket, where
reposed a serviceable knife, then sud-

empty.

“No,” he said. “I didn't come over

force which surged behind the bars
of his deliberate aloofness.

True, he had never definitely spok-

Lady Anne had supplied the key to}
his silence. The past still bound him!
Alive, Nesta had held him by her
beauty; and dead, she still held him
with the cords of remorse and un-

as she cared for and needed him. To
her woman’s eyes, newly anointed
with live’s sacramental oil and given
sight, it had become suddenly evident
fm a hundred ways, most of all evi-
dent in his sullen effort to conceal it
from her.

So much that he had said, or had
not said—those clipped sentences, bit-
ten off short with a savage intensity
that chad often enough troubled and
bewildered her, now found their right
interpretation. Hecared.. . . but
the bondage of the past still held.

And with that thought came reac-
tion. The brief, quivering ecstasy,
which had sent little fugitive thrills
and currents racing through every
merve of her, died suddenly like a
damped-out fire, as she realized all
which that bondage implied.

It was possible he might never
break the silence which he himself
hhad decreed. From the very begin-
ning he had recognized—and insisted
upon—the “fact that they two were
only “ships that pass,” and though
mow, for a little space, Fate had di-
rected the course of each into the

Blaise remained in England.. And
that would be the end of it.

She knew the man’s dogged pertin-
acity; he would hold to an idea or
belief bly if he ived it

right, no matter what the temptation
to break away. And in the flood of
light vouchsafed by Lady Anne's dis-
closure, she felt convinced that he had
somehow come to regard the tragic
happenings of the past as standing
betwixt him and any future happi-
ness. Why, Jean couldénot altogeth-
er fathom, but she guessed that the
dominant factor in the matter was
probably an exaggerated conscious-
mess of responsibility for his wife's
death, and perhaps,

CHAPTER XVII._
In the Rose Garden

The chalcedony of the spring skies
had deepened into the glowing
sapphire of early June—a deep, pul-
sating blue, tremulous with heat. On
the sundial, the shadow’s finger point-
ed to twelve o'clock, and the sleepy
hush of noontide hung over the rose-
garden where Jean was gathering
roses for the house.

“Can't I help?”

Burke's voice broke across the
drowsy quiet so unexpectedly that
she jumped, almost letting fall the
scissors with which she was scien-
tifically snipping the stems of the
roses. She bestowed a small frown
upon the head and shoulders appear-
ing above the wooden gate on which
he leant. :

“It's not very helpful to begin by
giving one an electric shock,” she
complained. “How long have you

His attitude had a repose about it
which suggested that he might have

igg her.

only one amongst the little coterie of
intimate friends who had not realized
what was impending.

It is not very often that a woman
remains entirely oblivious of the
small, unmistakable signs which go
to indicate a man’s attitude towards
her. In Jean's case, however, her

other men occupied but a very shad-

The Deadly Machine Gun

Operated By One Man Is Equal To
Battalion

The tremendous advantage that the
invention of the rapid-fire gun gave
to the defensive side in warfare was
never much better illustrated than in
the recent fighting around Shanghai.
One man with a machine gun can be
the equal of a whole battalion, under
certain circumstances. A bombard-
ment that reduces the numbers of a
defensive force to a tenth of their
original strength is utterly useless if
it leaves a few machine guns that can
come into action as soon as the at-
tacking wave gets under way. It was
this unsuspected fact that made the
World War battles so frightfully cost-
ly. The Japanese, evidently, are dis-
covering it all over again. Until some
way of coping with the machine gun
is found, the offensive is paralyzed.

“Men are natural-born epicures in
the matter of food,” she said in a
recent address in London, “and for
this reason the culinary art should be
entrusted entirely to them. Besides,
keeping men in the kitchen would in-
crease the number of jobs in the busi-
ness world for women, who are na-
tural-born bargainers,”

‘NEW INVENTION
DOES AWAY WITH

Even fish and cauliflower bow

Parchment

BETTER, CHEAPER AND EASIER
COOKING

Delicious as cauliflower, cabbage and cer-
tain other vegetables are, they haves
imposed a heavy penalty on people who
fearlessly cooked them. Not to mention
those who had to suffer the odor without
enjoying the finished product. The same
thing is equally true of fish. '
Canapar Cookery Parchment, a very in-
genious invention, does away with this
annoyance entirely. While et in
odors, it also retains flavor and food
value. Cooking in Canepes actually
parallels the famous Frenc! method of
simmering and confining food and its
flavor in the closed casserole.

You buy Canapar ina large envelope of
handy-size sheets which may be rinsed out
and used over and over again because they
won't absorb odors. When boiling vege-
tables you simply wet, the Canapar and
make a bag similar to a pudding bag. If
you steam them, you line the steamer
with Canapar, arrange and season-
ing, and fold back corners of the Canapar
to prevent steam from dripping back.
You can actually cook three vegetables at
once in the same saucepan, | way—
save fuel—and the flavors will not
intermingle.

Steamed, or boiled, fish comes out firm,
solid and swimming in its own juice. No
odours. No sticky steamer or saucepan
to clean up afterwards.

Line your roasting pan with Canapar,
then ha fats and juice can’t burn. Meat
is more succulent and there is no scouring
or scraping of the pan afterwards,

Many women use Canapar for a dish cloth
—it is so silky and satisfactory, and
doesn’t spread lint,

You'll never be without Canapar once you
start using it. It saves time and money,
