He looked out over Valerie's head across the lawns and gar- dens. His eyelids stung suddenly. He was almsot horrified because the shock and upheaval of Ellen's going were even now wearing thin. He was beginning to realize what a atepchlld could do to you.

Valerie stood beside him in a sort of inner ecstasy. she had no twinge of conscien . only the feel of a cage thrown suddenly open. The first touch of spring, the nameless something in the air, the pale shadow,of yellow forsythia etched distantly against the blue of the pool at the end of the lawn filled her almost to burstingafter the bleakness of winter. some in- ner sense she had never known as stirring in her. she tingled with it. A feeling of high adventure. of course face to face with a stranger who turned out miraculously to be herself.

"Is mother-somewhere?" she

legal Aid Bureau To Open In Fall

MONTREAL, July 24 - (CF)- The Montreal Bar Association and a group of welfare agencies have completed plans to set up a bur- eau which will provide legal ad- vice and services to persons who cannot afford regular lawyers' fees.

Gabriel Marchand. Montreal law- yer serving on a committee which has been studying the problem for a year. announced Saturday that the offices will open in the fall.

asked suddenly.

"Yes," said Mark flatly. He rea- ii;ed that he had been expecting the question. That he was pre- rrod to answer. "What they put

"I sceejust a, little-" said Val- erie. Mark -wondered if he only imagined that the nervous tensiiy that always gripped her was giv- ing way. "Ifeel much better about it. I only thought-it was such 1 sad time-to go away-just when everything is starting to bloom-- if that was all there is to lt."

"I'm quite sure it isn't. If it were things wouldn't make sense. Everything has to make sense. doesn't it?"

"Most times." She stood quiettv beside him for .a long time. when she looked up again, her face was like a child's. "There's another fa- vor-sometime, when you aren't too busy, do you suppose we could go to see the kennels?"

He could partly remember hear- ing Valerie ask for anything. lie had thought of her during the five years he had been married to El- len as a small shadow in a state of perputal acquiescence. With the glitter of Ellen gone, he was be- ginning to see Valerie. Ellen had interpreted their thoughts for them, smothering the slightest happening in a flow of words. Ex- tracting the last ounce of their reactions even to a sunset seen from the Wide Acres terrace, or to the perfume of a rose.

He was again horrified to find such thoughts in his mind. What kind of a man was he. with Ellen so lately gone? He was no scpho- morepmoonlng over a problemtlcal future. What did' you expect of marriage? or even of life, if it came to that?

Ellen had fascinated him at first by the very qualities that after- ward proved disastrous: unearthly loveliness combined with an al- most ludicrous efficiency, and a voracious capacity for absorbing people. with the spell of her beauty on him, he could forget her capabilities, or he could escape in work. And now she had suddenly and permanently left him, And al- ready he was dwelling on her im-

perfections. He looked up and saw Valeric sitting with patiently folded

hands, and realized she had asked him a question and was waiting for him to answer,

"Sorry, darling" he said. "Just a wool-gathering fool. that's all. What was it? Something about the dogs? Next time stick a pin where it will do the most good. Or dontt girls carry pins these days?"

"Anybody could tell you were thinking." she told him gravely. "It wasn't very important. Just could we go to the kennels if you aren't too busy. Collins says there are puppies-five-"

"You sound as if you approved of puppies."

"Oh!" said Valerie.

"If they're really nice scotties. why don't you pin a tag on one?"

she stared at him incredulously. "You mean for me? You mean in the house?"

"Why not?"

"But-motlierw"

It was time, he decided to set- tel something that might become an issue.

"Listen, my sweet." he said. "We both know how wonderful your mother was. how beautiful and how good. we don't have to go into that. But she and I were hardly married before I found out some- thing I never knew before. and that is that a man's a man and A woman's a woman. and there isn't any overlooking it. And just

because they're so different doesn't mean they can't both be right.

"Take the dog business. Ellen believed a dog's place was in a kennel. I believe a library fire Just shouts for a dog to warmihia back. Well. we didn't have a dog. After all. she was in the house more than I was. You and I happen to think a dog's .place is in the home. so what? A dog by the library fire --and any other place you want him." "Oh-" said Valerie again. It seemed all she could think of.

"The school stuff is another ex- ample. I can't bring you up like a mother because I happen to be a father. I want my daughter around where I can look at her. I've had very little experience In the parent business. and I may do a lot of things that aren't strictly regular. so I want to be prepar- ed."

He exulted at the shining ex- -citcment of her face. But her voice was prim. "I understand, rather. but maybe you never knew I

y The wooden man pictured above is part of a tree which Alec Mac- lniyre. Lorne Valley, felled in his woods a little over one year ago. Leaning against an automobile by the Maclntyre home, this un- ique object looks for all the world like a Highlander in his cups. The unique wooden man is about average size and weighs 150 pounds

with his scotch bonnet, bathing suit and slippers. The legs and feet are almost

perfectly formed; and the head with the exception of a pair of art- ifical cars, is just as Mother: Nai- ure made it.

If Robert Ripley were alive he would now be heading for the Garden of the Gulf to add this curious work of nature to his New York Museum.

Besides ihe wooden wonder Mr. Mziclniyre possesses his grandfa- iher's snuff box which was made from s ramls horn by a scottish
