But as soon as|Lake stood on the doorstep. | Frances is badly burned, Nora defers her plan to move to the family hcme of her husband, Nichclas Thayer. That Daman, Nichclas’ step-sister, and Jona- then, his brother, have invited her from a sense of duty is- cvident, but she longs for the clability such a home will af- ford. From Italy comes news that her father’s marriage plans have been abandoned. When Nora helps Dr. More, whose office is in her aunt’s house, pull the child through, he calls her a “brick,” but she rebuffs his compliment with an un- gracious reply. Meanwhile her hopes crumble on receiving from Damon a letter saying that che and her father have gone away on a trip. Chapter 21 IS NORA JEALOUS? While her thoughts turned to the old Dutch house on the river, still Nora found enchantment in these June evenings under the horse chestnut tree on Dove Street They were all young and hope- ful, not ashamed to fling out their proudest dreams. She learned that Fergus More was bent on further study in Germany. But how this was to be done on the precarious living that he now made, no one tried to answer. Aunt Em had a splendid idea of recouping their fortunes by raising violets. Halli¢ admitted she was writing a story. “And you, Fran?” Nora asked. an's eyes sought Fe had been laughing and murmuring together. “The thing Fran has to do” Fergus said with authority, “is to jet over that cough.” !‘" “Ch that cough is aothing,” Fran ~sald quickly. As she joined in cheir laughter, Nora's old fierce rebellion against life rose in her. She would not be a part of this precarious life caged in this narrow middle-class house. And now Nora had spent her last cent. She mus® f{ind work. It ‘was Fran who solved the difficulty. One of the girls in Tran’s office was to be married in June; per- haps Nord could da the work. “If you want to ‘ry ii, Nora, Il help you. The work itself is ma~e routine. The main thing is to put up with Mr. Dusenbury's temper.” “I'll do Thumbly. There beran for Nora days of long hard work in the office. At the end of the week Mr. Dusenbury said grudgingly that she might fit in, anything,” Nora sald On Saturday she came home. ‘When the bell rang she remem- bered that Fran had taken the children to the park. She leaned over the bannisters to hear Aunt 'm talkink. “I'd like to “texe Nora for a @avive,” she heard him say. “You'll come baeck and have din- ner with us?” Aunt Em asked. If only he would refuse, but Nora could not hear his answer. She could see that Saturday night supper with its beans and brown bread and weak hot tza | Fergus, coming to joii them. He must re- fuse! She slipped into the white crepe that ¥ran had made so exquisitely and ran down stairs. “Where have you been all this time?” Jon greeted her pleasantly. To think of Jon wes to distrust him. But to see him ’ace to face was to be swept along on the tide of his restless vitality. As they drove down Dove Street, Nora longed to say the most arrest- ing things, but instead she talked of the weather. “Damon was disappointed that you wouldn't come to us,” Jon said casually. “I couldn't leave them when Dickie was in danger,” Nora €x- plained. “He's all right now?®” “Oh yes, he's well uow” Noru admitted. “You mustn't treat us that way again. We felt that you would rather stay with your own people. She saw how easily he had pat her in the wrong. “Where has Damon gone?” she “They've gone to a camp near Lake Placid. Mr. Van Vorst need- ed a change of air.” ##T suppose youll go spon?” Nora asked, trying to keep the anxiely out of her voice. i me 0 they come back you are to ¢ us.” He was surprised turned to her to see her eyes were dazzling. Jon drove along the river road Nora knew where they wera going now. They drove down a winding lane to the old Thayer house sun- ning itself on its lawns. Leaving the car in the driveway, | they walked toward the river and sat down at last with the river washing against a pebbly shore. | She leaned back against a tree trunk, her dark head bare. Her leyes were on the river and some- thing of her expectancy and youth touched Jon. “It's a long time since I've seen you,” he said. “It has been long. Twelve days!” | Nora flashed, then to hide her con- fu n she began to tell him breath- |lessly about Aunt Em and Fran and Hallie, the struggles and small | triumphs of every day. | “It must be very dull for you." “No, it's exciting in a way. Each one is so ambitious, Hallie is writ- ing and Fergus More hopes to spe- cialize some day and I am working ‘I.u’ the first time in my life.” | “That's what I do and I don't find any excitement in it. I'd like to get away. The places I'd like to see, the things I'd like to do!” “What piaces, Jon?” “I'd like to climb the Andes with a pack mule. I want danger and fighting, and to come upon an old lost city.” As he talked on strangely ex- cited, she fould herself sharing the bitter trek with him. She was b side him as they came to the gat of the lost city. But what was it Jon was search- ing for? She asked him, “Why do you go seeking strange places when in the end you never find anything but yourself?” “You're a funny child Nora. That’s what Damon said about you.” “Damon!” Nora cried, ‘“she doesn’t like me. I saw that ai once!” . She rose suddenly to face him. Thelr ayes met. “You don’t understand her. She is hard to know.” “Perhaps Damon doesn't under- stand me!” | The air between them quivered with unspoken things. Jon was cool and arrogant; Nora was sud- denly passionately angry. Shne knew that Jon thought she was jealous of Damon. She was not jealous of Damon, she told herself flercely, unless she were jealous of her world that was careless and brave, aware of prerogative. And there still smouldered the memory that Jon had toid Damoh those things she had confided to him alone. The magic of the afternoon was gone. They drove silently along a dreary river road and reached the old city. Jon's face was pale and proud; Nory sat with clenched hands. She did not want him to come to dinner. But Jon went stubbornly up the steps beside her. She ‘could not bear it. Jon would see the confusiorn of a Saturday night supper; he would crificise her people. Alice came to incet them at the door. . Nora'began to talk nonsensc breathlessly - before Aunt Em came in, her best gray crepe de chine donner, Nora knew, for the occa- ‘sion. The shabby old back parlor had on its summer dress of cheap flowery chintz and looked cool and pleasant. Aunt Em led the way to the base- ment dining room. Something be- gan to soothe Nora's feelings. Per- haps it was because they had worked so hard to please her. The best white damask cloth was on the table and Fran had filled a blue bowl with buttercups and the can- dlesticks from the back parlor man- formed the mean small room. Fran came in from the kitchen with a plate of hot biscuits, her {cheeks flushed, looking like a dark !rose. And as she took Jon's hand {something of her spirit seemed to ' |enter the room, to force Nora to glance at Jon and see his eyes on \hers begging her for forgiveness. | They were all so simple and gra- cious, making this Saturday night dinner by their very ease and pleas- ure in Jon’s company, something of |an occasion.

Names you know by their advertising. By “ their reputation. Or by personal experience. They seem like cld friends. Other products are strangers. What do you know about them? Often their appeal is a “bargain price.” But are they always bargains? Their labels are attractive. More inviting, sometimes, than those of the products they seek to imitate. But how can you ever know what these labels conceal ? 2 Remember this every time you buy-—Before there can be an imita- tion, there must be something worth imitating. Have you ever $Gen an imitation as good as the original? Clerks who try slyly to sell you some- thing “just as good” are looking only to today. Tomorrow the same product may not be on the shelf. Perhaps even'today the clerk does not know who made it. Ask yourself .\, . “Why does he offer me this substitute?. Why does he urge me to accept this or that product instead of the one I want?” There are many reasons. Most of them selfish. Certainly, none of them springs from the desire to serve you better. These facts are published by this newspaper to tell you of your danger. To protect you against substitution. To warn you to buy with your eyes open. No deserving product ever needs the claim, “just as good.” When you hear those words, you may know there is something better. And that package which “holds a little more” often holds little more than disap- pointment. There is only one sure way for any shopper to avoid sub- stitution. Ask for recognized brands. Ask for them by name. Accept no questionable imitations. THE ANSWER TO SUBSTITUTION IS ALWAYS ... The Daily Alaska EMPIRE ; CGNO” DOUGLAS NEWS MAYOR KILBURN GOES SOUTH L.
