our Quart Of Raspberries
LAURA'S small cottage lay I
short distance to the right
from the fork to the North road.
The fork to the North road was
a spot that would remain forever
in Cecily Stuart's memory. The
path to the North road was the one
that led to the little shack, to
Locke, to her heart
There were dewy cobwebs on
the grass at that early hour. There
Were bright thistles and little
crickets. New things to see in the
arly morning. Cecily greeted
them all.
Laura's house had the look of a
bouse asleep and, momentarily,
Cecily felt that she ought to let it
remain in its peace. But the pangs
of hunger assailed her. She rapped
loudly on the white door.
Laura, sleepy-eyed, opened the
door. "What brought you here?"
"Starvation," Cecily answered
concisely, "and a desire for com
pany. Lead me to the kitchen and
prepare to be waited on."
"You know where it is. You'll
Bnd bacon and other things in the
cupboard. I'll be with you in a
IWy."
Cecily threw her coat on a set
tee and found an apron. She tied
it on, took mixing bowls and skil
let from Laura's pantry and went
to work. Break the eggs into the
bowL Add a teaspoonfulof ice cold
water and one of thick cream for
each egg. "Have you any Wor
cestershire? Good! Six drops per
egg. Beat trie aayiignu out or
them.
Home-made bread? It's too good
to toast. Put the coffee on. Why
does coffee cooked over a wood
fire taste like something from
Heaven? Cook the bacun quickly
and put it on a piece of crown
paper to drain. There, now, pop in
the beaten eggs.
Thick yellow china on a plaid
cotton tablecover. A brown bean
Jar filled with marigolds. Sunlight
like a benediction. Oh. it's fun to
play house! It would be heavenly
to have a house of one's own. No
wonder the song-writers get lyri
cal over hearths and little white
cottages and curtains in the
breeze. They never write about
mansions on Fifth Avenue, do
they? Or French windows, or
team pipes?
"Yuml" Laura, wide-awake,
her nose eagerly sniffing the break
fost smell, came into th kitchen.
"So you've domestic tale"tsl"
"Try a snack of this and And
cut," Cecily said, helping her gen
erously from the platter of eggs.
"How was the party?" Laura
said a little later.
"Well, it was exciting. Very for
mal at first In fact very formal
to the very end, but there was an
Interlude! It began with may-I-presents,
went on to clear mush
room soup, broiled sole, pheasant
in wine sauce, peas in cream, arti
chokes and a dessert made of fresh
raspberries, cream and I-wouldn't-know-what
but glorious."
"All right, gourmette! Was that
all the excitement?"
Cecily laughed. "I'll weigh two
hundred before I'm thirty if I
keep up this Maine appetite. No,
pet that wasn't all. Lady Rath
bone lost a valuable diamond pin
and practically accused all of us
of taking it"
"No!"
"Yes! But Madame Brewster
handled it so beautifully. I'm sure
that just by willing it she made
the pin appear exactly where it
should have been after we left I
suppose things like that seem ter
ribly portentous up here just be
cause things like that don't hap

"Oh. Laura, don't be ridicukus!

What good luck! Late yesterday

Miss Champion was Mrs. Brew
ster's companion-secretary.
"Don't you want to take a blood
hound with you?" Cecily laughed
Cecily kept her bemused smile
to herself when she saw Laura
looking at the clock later that
morning while she unpacked her
case ot yarn.
"I really ought to take this to
Miss Champion, she ventured.

that Laura had gone.

JAPS LOOK ASKANCE
AT STRENGTHENING
U.S. NAVAL FORCES
TOKYO, Sept. 31. A foreign office
spokesman today declared "certain
sections of public opinion which can
not be Ignored" considered atrenuth
lng of the United States navy an
"unfriendly act" toward Japan.
(The spokesman apparently refer
red to the United States' naval con
struction program. )
Jnpan's determination remains un
ehrtiid.. he asserted, to establish an
east Asia economic bloc, Including
nounced. "Raspberry, and made
by my own lily-white hands."
"Locke, how cute of you!"
"Please, Cecily, not that! How
can you undignify my latest indus
trial effort with such a term?"
"I suppose now you're going to
become a great canner?" she
asked, resigned to his nonsense,
"Why not? Not that I'm the do
mestic type, but a smart salesman
knows how to dispose of all his
goods. By the way, the berry in
dustry is going full swing. Yester
day I told four quarts of berries
and got an order for more. So,
charming as your company is, I
must away to my calling."
"Where do you berry?" she
asked, casting about for something
to keep him there.
"Remember the spot where we
saw the thatched roof through the
trees the day we had our steak
supper?" Cecily said she did. "It's
near there. You strike off from
the road we traversed, come to a
clump of alders, and back of a
fleldstone wall is the berry picker's
paradise. I call it Locke's Strike.
Or is it that bad?"
"Very bad," she said readily.
"And I always count on you for
the best"
"Do you really?" he asked with
a quick change of manner. Cecily
was never prepared for that
change and it found her now com
pletely disconcerted, as always.
The way he had of searching her
eyes, of questioning the very
depth of her. Asking and never
giving. For she never knew what
he was thinking.
News-Bearer
SHE nodded her head, the ges
ture her only answer. She was
unable to say: I expect everything
good of you.
Abruptly, at usual, he was leav
ing. This time she couldn't let him
go. All the things she had scolded
herself about all the resolutions
she had made not to try to hold
him, to pursue him, were forgot
ten. "You're a very unsatisfactory
person," she said abruptly.
"I know I am," he answered, as
though he understood her. "But
I warned you, Cecily, that I was.
And now I have something I want
to ask of you."
"Yes."
He tilted her chin up and Cecily
thought: He's going to kiss me
again.
"Just remember that I won't
always be unsat' 'actory. Do you
think you can remember that?"
"Perhaps," she said, drawing
away because she was disap
pointed, ashamed of being dis
appointed. "Well, berries won't get off their
pretty branches and bounce into
my pail. I'm off."
ijoodoy," she said. "Thank you
for the jam."
"I'll be back to see how you like
it"
That was nearer then he had
ever come to saying that he would
come again.
L,aura returned a few minutes
after he left She wore an impor
tant news-bearing expression.
"Wall nihot no,
"Lord and Ladv Rathbone left
this morning!"
"Not reaflyl Oh, Laura, how
friehtfullv unDleasant for Mrs.
Brewster! Did you see Miss Champion?"
she practically fell on mv
neck, dying to talk it over with
someone. Their Highnesses, or
whatever you call 'em, were sup
posed to stay ior tne weex-eno,
out Ladv Kathoone had such a
bad night her husband thought
they ought to leave -t once."
"But the pin? Did it turn up?"
"Not a sight or sign of it Miss
Champion says Mrs. Brewster
holds that Lady Rathbone didn't
have it with her. Anyway it's insured."
Any sign of your nolice offi
cers?"
"No excitement at all. Misa
Champion said Mrs. Brewster had
an the servants in last night after
me dinner guests ielt and con
vinced the Kathbones that they
were quite honest and she, Mrs.
Brewster, personally vouched for
the honesty of all her guests. Cer
tainly no one from your house, and
certainly the Misses Amanda and
Beatrice Smithers would have no
use for diamond sunbursts."
'And was that all?"
"There was nne mora little
thing. Yesterday afternoon Mrs.
Brewster's cook, Addie, bought
some raspberries from a man she
had never seen before. She was
awfully busy and asked him to
turn the ice-cream freezer for that
raspberry concoction vou were (

Cecily felt the muscles around
her mouth grow stiff while she
waited to hear more. I
"She put the man 10 work out
on the side porch snd left him
there. But she's quite sure that he
couldn't have got into the house
without her knowing it."
"Who was the man, Laura? You
say it was a man she : ad never
seen before? There aren't any men
within miles of Vickersport that
Addie wouldn't know. Why, you
and I know everyone here!
"I don't know. That's what she
said. And people do come from all
over to sell berries."
Cecily said, "Laura, where else,
other than the Brewsters', would
a rfian have been likely to sell four
quarts of raspberries yesterday?"

TEST PILOT
Thirteen may be an unlucky number, but IS times Major John D. Corkille hurled Into the elr for te
flights the U. S. army's new lti-ton " YB-17 V known as Flying Fortresses.
Not a single mishap came to Major Corkille, but five days after he tested one of the Fortresses, tt
crashed with another pilot at the controls.
The 49-year-old pilot first enlisted In the army air service In 1917, became a test pilot at Wright field,
Dayton, Ohio, In 1938, There he once brought down a burning ship Instead of using his parachute.
In 1919, flying a DH-9 In Florida, Corkille faced a similar emergency when n broken connecting rod set
his ship afire. He landed the plan e and stepped out uninjured. The DH-9 burned to the ground.
