His thoughts were building a home Cor her. White stone and fountains and magnolia buds under a kinder sky than this. Or a house of logs, low-eared, reed-thatched, lit and warmed and gay amidst northern Corests. Or a clean-Uned schooner, riding the seas, carrying them west . . . 'Tills ti ihe, 0 fortunate ant predestined thit it ther. . . She was finding something diffi cult to say. "Yon saved my life," she brought out at last. "Thank you!" "May I come and ask how your brother Is?" "The radio's developed a hiccough, Farrell," said Leila. "Thank yon," she said again. "Leila will tell you where to find him. But he Is my fiance, not my brother. We are to be married on Thursday." She made blm a little bow and again left him. He stood watching her go. 'Thie It she . . .' "Ob, no!" he said aloud, when the corner hid her. "Oh, nol Not on Thursday or ever. You are not (olng to marry Mark." And he was still repeating his (or mula when he reached South-the-Water and was accosted by Us own er, Sir James Cane. "Well, Armltage, how's the vicar?" "All smiles, sir." "Surprised to tee you, I don't ioubt" Sir James Cane smirked and sat track In his chair. It was his smirk, together with something Ingratiat ing In his manner, that had made him 'Sugar Cane to Kings Mallard. Ha could be extraordinarily naive sometimes, as now, when he was howlng transparent triumph at Armltage'i sojourn at Bouth-tbe-Water instead ot at the vicarage, farrell, not (or the first time, wished that he had dodged this Invitation. It had been given on the Finesse, England-bound (rom New York, wbere the Canes had been pleasure seeking and Farrell, almost unwill ingly, had gone to make yet more money. In a moment of boredom, he had persuaded himself that he would like to re-explora Kings Mal lard and that the vicar's frugally run house would not be equipped for a guest. So be had coma to South-the-Water and dallltd In Leila's cool yet glittering company tor a week or so . . . Leila was peeling a peach. She murmured "I hardly remember you as a boy at all, Farrell." "'The moon boos many brooks, the brook sees but one moon'," quoted Armltage. "We met at a garden-party given on a very hot August day by Mrs.--Mrs.--no, the name's gone. Ton were dressed in blue sash" "Surely the day wasn't as hot as that?" "and a dress with Jlggerles all ever ft and a hat with a sort ot thingummy at the side. And I re- S. P.

"Was I such a brat, mother?" "Oh, no, dear!" said Lady Cane, "Not really." She was still a ner tous, hurried woman with her eyes generally upon her husband or her daughter. "I eipect Farrell means one of Mrs. Lodely's parties. She had a big garden, poor thing, and she used to Invite a lot of children." "To play with Mark?" Leila lifted an already arched brow. "Well, yesno, I suppose he couldn't play with them, exactly. It was more to take him out ol him self." "I drove him home today," said Leila. "Have a peach, daddy?" "Clover devil!" cblrpod her la ther. "No, thank you." "By Jove!" Armltage bent towards Leila, one hand on his hip. "I do remember now, there was a lame boy at tbat party. Was he the cbap you took charge of this evening?" Leila nodded. Then old Cane chirped up again. "Very sad case, young Lodely. Ac cident when he was only two. Been looked at by a dozen surgeons, I suppose, and everyone of them has a different song to sing. Unfortu nately there'' not even enough money (or blm to enjoy tho tew pleasures llfo still offers him." "I seem to remember a pretty big garden," ventured Armltage, "and everything done rather lavishly." "Ah, yea!" Sir James changed a smirk Into a sigh. "Very likely. Bat there was some trouble later on, after you left the Vicar. Lodely Mark's father shot hlmsolf and left nothing. .Mrs. Lodely lives on what used to be her pin-money. Painful business. I was a partnerpossibly you remember? Quentin, Lodely and Cane. But It's a great many years ago." Quentin. Barbara Quentin. She had not (or one second loft Farrell's mind, yet, at the sound of her name, he felt the blood pounding up to his temples. He opened his mouth to interrogate these people about nor - and was unable to form any words at all. Ridiculous, this shyness; but ex hilarating. , , . Ridiculous, because It she planned to marry Mark Lode ly on Thursday, ho had only five days In which, coming to her as a stranger, be must turn her from her purpose. To his relief, Leila abandoned her peach and stood up. "Come and look at the radio, Far rell, will you? The darned thing has doveloped a sort of hiccough that's really quite alcoholic. Mother says It absolutely belchea forth the music." "Oh, my doar, I dldn'tl I should nover " Armltage, smiling politely, opened the door (or Leila. There was some thing In Lady Cane's enquiring gaie and 'Sugar's' complacency that he bad sensed before In parents of young and marriageable daughters. "1 apologise," said Leila, as the door ot the drawing-room closed behind them, "for thus snatching you from the pleasures of the table; but I can't stand It when father sheds tears over the Quentln-Lodely smash. 1 cannot stnnd It" "Reasons?" askod Armltage, watching her. She walked away from him, op the long, polished room, drew aside a curtain to look out over the bay and then came slowly back.

The Federal Home Loan bank does NOT lend on or discount mortgages on business property. It does NOT lend on or discount mortgages on bomes worth more than $20,000. It does NOT handle second mortgagee. It does NOT lend on or discount mortgages on livestock or farm prop erty. Respectfully submitted, F. 8. MCWTLLIAMS, Chairman. ' Portland, December 19. .

The drawf stole the keys In revenge for the death ot his sister, the witch, who was bnrned to death by the two dolls. A mole releases the dolls. CHAPTER XIV. The Toads. It wasn't until the next morning that the dwarf discovered bis pris oners had gone. Be Just sneaked Into the room to laugh at them. "What has happened?" he cried. "No Inga and no Plnocchlo here." He bunted all around but couldnt find hew they had e:caped because the little mole had filled up the opening of his passage. That frightened the dwarf. "Well, If they can get out through the mountain-aide I'd better look closely," he thought to himself. "I'vo got to bide those keys better than I have or Santa will have them back again." So he rushed back to his under ground room and got out the keys he had stolen from Santa's toyshop. "I'll have to ask my friends, the toads, to help me," he thought, and he dragged the bag of keys to his doorway on the mountain-side. He looked around very carefully to see 1 nou -n-iiMK.TMis r if -rou'o aivevouii If7 and ih& that there was no one around and tben he stole down to the woods. He blew a "tie wniRle and from a hundred little crannies came hun dreds of little toads, all blinking in the daylight. One of the biggest, with a bright green coat, stepped forward and ask ed: "Did you want something of us, Mr. Dwarf?" "Yes. I've got to hide these keys right away and I don't want any one to get them. What can you sug gest?" "Well, let me think. If each of us took one would that help?" "Yes, but where would you hide them?" "That's easy. In our mouths. We're got very big mouths. Look," and the little toad opened wide his Jaws. ' "That's fine," said the dwarf, "line up and I'll give one to each of you. Now guard them carefully, and when I want them back I'll blow this whistle. So they each took a key and hop ped back to the little crannlea where they had been dozing. The dwarf grinned a self-satisfied grin, rubbed his hands together and hurried back to his underground home. "Now I guess they can look and look. They'd never get those toads all together," he said. But he dldnt know who had overheard him. The little woods fairy had been standing t A OH-MR-J1CCS-VOU V Irl 1 MU4T HAVC AN OLIVE OM-in I fT ' I V' 111 1 Ik IZZo behind an oak tree watching the whole scene. So the dwarf called' the toads with a wbtstle and asked them to hide the keys to the toys In Santa's toyshop. "Now I wonder what keys those are," she said. "He must be up to mischief. I'll find out." So she walked all around the woods asking everybody she met if they had lots some keys. But nobody had. Finally she came to a little mole, and he looked quite surprised at her. "I dln't lose them, but I have a cousin over by the blue pine tree who haa visitors that are looking for keys." So the woods fairy hurried over to YEP, BLESS HER! Sue FORKOT HERSELF ONCE CAUL.
