“THE STORY: Falling in love had
been far from Clemency Norton's
ihoughts when she took her post
as nursery governess in a luxuri
ous North African desert home.
But soon she knew she had lost
her heart to Piers Amberley, own
er of the home and brother-in-law
of Syrie Amberley, who had en
gaged Clemency for her daughter
Baba, Syrie, despising her hus
pand Jon and In love with Piers
nerself, is angry when she hears
the news that Clemency and Piers
are engaged. Later Clemency finds
2 nursery window open and Baba
sleeping without bed clothing in
the cool night air. She learns that
Jon had been watching the child
and the next evening, when Jon
comes to the nursery to see his
child, she tells him about it. Jon,
who had been drinking heavily,
admtis he ope.ned‘ th: window.

“Do you think I'd do anything to
hurt the child?” Jon demanded,
still reeking of liquor. “I'm the
only one who cares about her.
Wwhat'll happen to her, now that
Piers is going to give up playing
godfather to us all?”
“You have no right to talk about
Piers like that,” said Clemency.
“I've a right to talk about him
any way I like,” Jon retorted.
“And he's got no right to ask a
nire,”decent girl like you to marry
him.

ley’s words—which were unpleas
ant enough by themselves—stung
Clemency to anger. It was no use
arguing with him when he was
like this, Although her indigna
tion was mounting she wag able to
realize this much.
“Will you please go away?” she
said. “And we will noét discuss
Piers.”
“Won’'t we?” He rose, looking
down at her. “I don't know. I
like you, Clemency, and I think
you ought to know. Do you know
the only man my wife ever loved—
if she’s capable of loving? Too
funny—it's Piers.”
“Are you mad?” she demanded.
“No, dear. Only a little drunk.
And drunken men tell the truth.
You'd better know. Did no one
ever tell you that Syrie and Piers
were once engaged?”
Clemency stared at him, wide
eyed. Syrie and Piers! Her lips
formed the names but no sound
came,
He*odded. “Sure. He was crazy
about her.” .
“Well—what of it? That must
have been a long time ago.”
“Yes, it was. She married me.
And then,” a vicious note like the
upward stab of a knife came into
his voice. “Poor fool-——me! I didn’t
know. And then he took her back.
What do you think he brought us
here for? Because he loved my
wife—because Lhe meant to have
her back and he got her back.”
“It’s a lie!” She faced him, white
and shaken. “You know why he
brought you here—to help you—
to fight for you.” .
“To—" he laughed. “No, I won't
use ugly words to you. I believed
that. And then I found out. I
asked her and she told me. It had
always been Piers. Drink, do I?
Any reason why I shouldn’t? Think
it over, little sister!”
“Get out!” commanded Clemen
cy breathlessly. “You drunken
beast—after all he has done for
you_n
5 9. & B 2
Something in her face sobered
him. Somewhere in him there was
a spot which was not quite dead
to all decency, and even while he
told himself it was time he got
back to Piers, that something in
him, seeing the stark horror and
misery in Clemency’s face, feit like
a murderer.
“Forget it,” he said. “Maybe it’s
all over.”
“Get out.” She turned and left
him, feeling she could not breathe
the same air. Going through the
night nursery swiftly she stood in
the darkness of her own room, her
hands clenched at her sides.
She felt numbed—as if someone
had struck her a stunning blow.
And then suddenly sanity seemed
to flow back to her. Maybe it was
true that Syrie and Piers had once
been engaged. Even that Syrie still
cared. Was that why she had
tried to keep “her—Clemency—
away from him?
She could not have him, but she
did not mean anyone e€lse to. That
would be like Syrie.
Never! Never!
All her fierce love and loyalty
rose up in her. And then a wave
of fury against Jen. Piers must be
told of what he was accused. Jon
should not stay under this roof
another moment. SR
She called Justine to watch Baba
and then Clemency forced herself
to walk steadily downstairs. She
met Ahmed in the hall.
“In Colonel Amberley in his
study?”
“Yes,” the man told her.
She tapped on Piers’ door. Re
ceiving no answer, she opened the
door and went into the room. The
desk lamp was burning, his foun
tain pen lay on the blotter. There
'was a half-finished cup of coffee—
all the signs that he would be back
any moment.
She drew a deep breath. Nat
urally she was upset, but as for
believing a word Jon had said —
Piers must be told, though; this
kind of calumny could not stay
just here. ]
+ ® o= =
A log fire had been lighted in
the fireplace and as she moved
across to it she saw his silver ciga
ret case on a low table. That case
which he had cared for enough
always to carry, seemed part of
him. She picked it up instine
tively, holding it in the curve of
her hand. °
She would smoke while she
waited, she decided. It would
soothe her and she would be able
to tell Piers more calmly what
she had come to say.
First she must get one thing
clear. If he had been engaged to
Syrie, that was over long ago.
Why, Piers obviously didn’t like
Syrie!
Clemency opened the cigaret
case. It was empty and the en
graved inscription which she had
noticed that night in the car and
had been unable 1o decipher
seemed to leap up at her in the
strong light of the desk lamp:
“PIERS FROM SYRIE,
TOUJOURS”
(To Be Continued) i
Asphalf-Rubber
Highways Hold
By DOUGLAS LARSEN
NEA Sttaff Correspondent
WASHINGTON — (NEA) — If
you do any cross-country driving
on your vacation this summer,
chances are you will aid an ex
periment which holds promise of
revolutionizing America’s high
ways.
Certain sections of key highways
around the country have been
paved with asphalt which has been
mixed with rubber. As you ride
over these test sections, you'll
probably never know it. Even if
you fall out on the rubberized sec
tion you won’t bounce or be able to
tell the difference. It'll even be
harder than usual, the engineers
hope.
It’s an experiment that will take
many Yyears to finish, since the
promised benefits will take a long
time to prove. The great hope is
that the use of rubber will reduce
the cost of maintenance on the
roads far below the initial cost of
the rubber.
Here are some of the advantages
claimed for the rubberized road:
Aids Resistance
Laboratory tests have indicated
that the rubber aids asphalt’s re
sistance to rapidly changing tem
peratures, sun’s rays and water.
Water is the most efficient de
stroyer of asphalt roads. It seeps
in from above and beneath and
tends to separate the sand and
gravel from the tar substance
which binds them all together.
Rubber in the asphalt, it is ex
pected, will increase its ability to
take big jolts without forming
bumps. It will keep it from melt
ing in the hot sun, and from be
coming brittle in the winter. ;
The driver will get some im
mediate benefits, it is predicted. A
rubberized road is supposed to be
less slippery, both wet and dry,
and to be resistant to ice forma
tion.
Although rubber roads will be
something new to the U. S. this
summer, ope section has been un
dergoing observation for many
years in Holland, on a highway
just outside Rotterdam. Germans
ran most of their heavy military
equipment over it during the war;
so did U. S. forces in shoving the
Germans out. In spite of this ex
tra-heavy use, the road is in per
fect shape today and still requires
no maintenance.
Different Types
In the U. S., however, different
types of asphalt are used. Diffi
culties in finding the right blend
held up U. S. read tests until this
year.
Powdered rubber is used. There
is disagreement as to whether na
tural rubber or synthetic is best,
but independent engineers say that
either would probably be satisfac
tory if the general idea is proved
sound.
On a test section laid just out
side of Richmond, Va., it cost an
additional S9OO per mile to add
the rubber. It is a road 30 feet
wide, which normally would have
cost $6,000 per mile to cover with
asphalt.
This additional cost is small;
however, if it could result in a
substantial cut in the nation’s high
way maintenance bill, which last
year was $900,000,000.
“SUFFOCATION” NOT
DEATH CAUSE :
NEW YORK — (AP) — Babies
rarely suffocate in their cribs, al
though their deaths often are
blamed on smothering, two New
York physicians report. Drs. Ja
cob Werne and Irene Garrow of
the Medical Exgminers Office told
the New York €ounty Medical So
ciety of their study.
Autopsies show that 25 per cent
of the infants listed as smothering
victims really died from congenital
heart disease, bronchopneumonia,
meningitis, or mastoiditis, they
said. The other 75 per cent can
nearly all be found to be due to
other causes also, they reported.
Dr. Werne said it is virtually im
possible for a healthy baby to die
of accidental mechanical suffoca
tion. The position of the baby’s
body at death means very little
unless the baby has strangled it
self between the slats of the crib,
he added.

Teeth Braces Coming Off As -
Margaret o'Brien Grows Up
BY ERSKINE JOHNSON
NEA Staff Correspondent
HOLLYWOOD — (NEA —The
Stars:
Margaret O'Brien, who packed
up her junior-size make-up Kkit
and left MGM after “The Secret
Garden,” is now - a ripe 13 and
preftier than any of her moppet
rivals ever hoped she would be.
Margaret sat primly in her chair
at a rehearsal of Th e Actors’
Company radio show and told me:
“I enjoyed my rest, but next
month I start making ‘City Girl’
at Columbia. My permanent’teeth
braces are going to come off. I'll
wear retainers instead. You can
put them on and take them off,
you know.”
Margaret hasn’t seerr her former
co-star, Butch Jenkins, in a long
time. But then she’s been busy
studying arithmetic, history, spell~
ing and literature with her private
tutor.
“I'm in B 8,” she beams. “Next
semester I'll move into AB.”
Vic Mature did a search-me
shoulder heave when I asked him
abeut his next picture.
“It all depends,” said Vie, “on
who turns down what at Fox. I
usually know what picture I'm
going to do when the wardrobe
department calls me over. If I'm
handed a hat, I know it's going to
be a western. Listen, I'm an actor,
who doesn’t care what I do next.”

their leading ladies often get.

she expects they'll set fire to her
or break a bottle over her head
