He sat slumped asilflii the stone wall of his cell, his face in shadow, but the glow of his eyes still fierce and hollow anti hot like the heart of a fire. He would say little, but this onc- thtng he had said over and over again, as if he himself needed re- HSSUPBIICE. "I didn't do it. They can't prove I did, because I dldn't." “But, my dear chap," said Jim, “they may imagine they've proved it. That would be just as deadly." “If they han me, they hang me. I can't hefii it. I've told the truth; nobody can confirm it, and there's nothing I can do about it." “You can enlarge upon what you have said.

I'd friillcr ha decently," C cries turned his face away upon the declaration, for it was not quite the truth. His sense of living was very strong and very bitter. "I know exactly hoiv you feel about it," said Jim patiently. "But you can't throw your life away just because a girl trusts the evi- dence of her ears and reason and thinks you comniitteted a vcry understandable murder." Charles cursed him and was in- atantly and boyishly sorry. ‘Oh, don't take any notice of me. can't help bei-ng spleenlsh. I-it’: the truth, That is what galls me. But I can't squeal for sympathy.

She had worked faithfully, but miserably, and without spiration through the eyes were hollow and dark-ringed. She had a smear of reen aim on her cheek, and a co eb n her brown hair. The smile with which she greeted him was wan and brief. They walked side by side, say- ing nothing, for some time. Then she looked up at him with eyes which struggled to hide an eager ness foredoomed to disappoint- ment. She was becoming used to having her hopes time after time. "Well, has he thought thing yet?" "Ne." Jim shook his head. "It's no use, Jane. Our help isn't to come from there, that's definite." "He isn't helpful, ls he?" said Jane, smudging at the smear of green on her cheek. "It luff, altogether that I don't think he can help us, Jane. I don't believe he saw anything or snyone when he rushed out of itliat garden.

She felt for his arm wi-th a small insinuating hand. for the touch of somebody who understood her troubles was comfort to her just then. They walked between the neat atone cottages of the single rambling street towards the triangular green, he curbing his stride to hers: and they were very quiet together. Presently said Jane in a stifled voice: “I like her really. It’: just that-oli, if she hadn't been the person shc is. this couldn't have happened. Not any of it-rlght from the beginning.

Look, the gate at Number Eleven is still hanging on one hinge. And here's Hughle out for a walk with his mother as usual. I met them the first day I was here-at nearly the some spot, too." She straightened her shoulders with a perceptible fort, and threw up her head. "Well 1 sup- pose it's good for one to remem- ber sometimes that there are people worse off than oneself." Jim saw an undersized boy who went heavily upon one short leg, and stared before him from large vacant blue eyes; a boy with the youth's body but with only n facts of a young man upon l child's mind to animate the grotesque and pathetic caricature. By this time many of the natives of Ashton Paul were known to him, but this boy he had not seen before, He came leaning upon a middle-aged woman who led him sollcltously, and seldom turned her eyes away from her charge. Her face, loving to foolishness and anxious to obsession, was certain- ly one of the saddest things Jim had ever seen. "I recognize the type," he ialtl in a low voice.

Ullllfllln Prose Sh" Writer) WASHINGTON. Sept, 0 - The About two-thirds of all the world's merchant " ' elongs ‘.0 the United States and the i-oiiiem of using it to the best a vantage of Americans and the world in gen- eral ls one of the first-class prob- lems of the moment—ccie that may eventually reach the United lila- tions. The whole story has been told in a 128- age pamphlet—“The Post- War utlook for American Ship- plng"—now being circulated. The report was prepared for the Un- ited States Maritime Commission by the post-war planning coinmit- tee set up three years ago. It suggests the many proposals for international co-operatlon t0- ward peace, economic equilibrium and reciprocity in trade cannot succeed unless there is collabor- ation on division of the world's shipping business, Canada. the report notes, "has several times as much tonnage as she had before." and the possibil- ity is raised that the Dominion and other British Commonwealth countries will "insist on develop- lllg large fleets of their own." The same was true of other countries which have proved in the past their ability to compete successfully for ocean commerce. On June 30, 1939 the United States had a total of 1,898 mer- chant vessels aggregating 8.1351300 gross tons. Of those 306 aggregat- ing 1,736,000 tons were inactive On Sept. 1, 1945, tates had 5.5% ocean-Willi! T‘ cshant vessels aggregating 40.00‘0$00 gross tons. At that time the ocean- going merchant tonnage of the world was 10.175 vessels ailfellt- k1 65.859000 gross tons. he British Empire was in sec- ond place with 2,34’! vessels ug- gre ating 14,842,000 tons. Next hlg est was Norway with 405 ves- sels aggregating 2,603,000 tons. The pre-war merchant fleet was financially unsatisfactory, the fleet was shrinking and D0 per cent of the vessels were “either obsoles- cent or approaching obsolescence." Now the planning is for Ameri- can ships to get a larger share of the business but to avoid n large scale contest for ocean goiig busi- ness; to maintain a constantiv up- to-date merchant fleet both for business reasons and for use in the event of war. lic Decision Re Milk Price Rise SAINT JOHN, N. 8., Sow, g __ (OP)- Dr, L.
