nteHome I The American Legion Auxiliary presents the following information based on the Gl Hill of Rights for the benefit of returning veterans: Q May a person now in service carry both United States Government Life converted» insuraii'e and National Service lite inau, ance at the same time? A. Yes; if prior to the enactment of the National Service Life Insurance Act, a person now in service wa. carrying United States Government life (converted) insurance. he may continue to cany It. Any serviceman can purchase National Service life insurance while in active service. The tou-1 of all Government Insurance held by any person may not exce—l 610,000 at any one time. Q. Should a man who obtains National Service life insurance from the Government while in the military or naval service retain such insurance after discharge' , I A. Yes; because the premium > rates are low in comparison with i the rates of private insurance, and • in consideration of the valusble protection granted. After separa- ' tion from active service veterans • may not apply for now National 1 Service life insurance and the obr talning of new insurance with private companies will have to be 1 accomplished at an older age for j which commercial insurance rates . would necessarily be higher. Fir - ■ tiiermore the additional medical r i examination which would be re- ' qtiired might disclose some im-

paired health condition which | would bar the reinstatement of Insurance by • private insurance company. Q. After a veteran has been discharged from the service, how may he secure information almut his insurance? A By writing to the Veterans Administration. Washington 25. D. C. He should give his first, middle and last non** I" • Ul,e hiii insurance certificate or policy number and his service aerial number If hh certiffcale or policy number Is not known, then he should give his rank, rating or grade ami organisation at the time of original application for lliogiance, his date of sepauHion from service and his date of birth. q After discharge from the service, how rbotild a veteran pay premiums on his National Servlet life Insurance? A. Hy sending to the CoL'eitiou Sulfiivblon. Vwteruus' ration, Washington 25. D. C.. chc< ks or money orders made payable to Hie treasurer of the United States, as premiums become duu.

’ CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX c MELLOW sunshine threw tan- < j?»ed leaf patterns acre** the warm » ule. glinted in the turquoise water ’ of the pool. It seemed to soak out the wear!- ( ncss and aches of exhausted bodies, too June. Roxie and Raff sprawled , on reclining chairs, on the lawn by ' the terrace, were beginning to feel 1 almost human again. ( 1 Roxie was able to complain. “If , ' those tucura ever come again, I’m going to say. Tea’s ready, boys. , Help yourself!’ I do not ever intend r to repeat last night if I’m in my r>ght mind!” Raff had leaped to his feet and . was hurrying across to the terrace door, which Maria was solicitously opening for Terry. I ’l "It’s Terry who thinks that, I bet,” he grinned. There was pride and tenderness in the way he 1 tucked Terry's arm through his ax he helped her to a chair “How’s the heroine today?” "Don’t be kind,” Terry grinned back weakly, as she sank into the chair. “I got conked on the head for making a fool of myself, as usual. Cant we forget it?” Jime said warmly. “We’re not i teasing you, dear. It’s true. Brooks gave you all the credit for getting the peons to help last night just when we were folding up with fatigue. They saved the greater part of the field." A warm surge of happiness went through Terry. It meant more than a crop then—it meant the peons were back with Brooks! “Well, it’s the first time my meddling ever has done any good," she laughed. "You should have seen Brooks bringing you back!" Roxie shrilled. ’’Ghastly romantie! Angela's father came driving up in the station wagon and Brooks opened the back door and came staggering out carrying you as limp as a doll—and he with Mood streaming down Ms face! We thought you were both killed." They chattered on, telling her of the triumphant moment when the peons arrived en masse to begin the last hour’s fight against the tucura. Terry was grateful. Her silence went unnoticed. Her rapt musing, begun with mention of Brooks, could continue undisturbed. A feverish exhiliration filled her. Roxie's story had strengthened her wild hope that the memory locked in her mind had beat no dream, but reality. Brooks had brought her back tn the station wagon then. It | fitted the moment She remembered

coming to, lying flat on the floor i of a jolting vehicle. And it was dur-| ing that moment she either rc- J membered, or dreamed, she had felt a hand tenderly touching her aching head and Brooks’ voice murmuring tn broken concern those mad, unbelievable words, “TerryTerry, darling!’’ Perhaps it WAS only a dream. But she was too weak today to combat it. She went on hugging the memory to her in silent rapture. She came to only at the sound of laughter. Raff's voice teased. “She’s wool gathering!" And she saw that Maria was holding out a letter to her. She took it, laughing, and opened it, while Raff grumbled about that North American man having nothing else to do but write her letters. It was from Fitz. all right She excused herself to glance through it. A second later she cried out impulsively. "He’s coming! Fitz IS coming to Buenos Aires for interviews with Argentine leaders during the convention!” Jime and Roxie gave exclamations of approval, but it was the voice of Brooks that answered! He had come up from the direction of the fields and was mm-jjfc wearily across the lawn toward wem. "Is that your fiance from Norte America?” Startled both by his sudden appearance and his low question, Terry could only stare at him. Raff answered for her. Answered with a sudden sharp belligerence. "He’s not her fiance. He’s just a friend!” The baroness chuckled with delight "Ah ha! So. who are you to t say, Rafferty Cordova, what the gentleman is in the lady’s life. And • what great interest have you?" ! "Very pretty words," Raff turned i on Roxie. "But 1 still say, tend to . your own affairs." i Brooks had stopped beside Teri ry's chair and was thanking her 1 for her courage last night. Terry hardly heard his words. She was I drinking greedily the concern tn his . eyes. Wondering with fast beating t heart if he could have said those . words to her last night when he . thought her unconscious. Slowly t the bruises and the cut above bis t eye pierced her thoughts. L "Was there a fight?” she cried "A Mt of a skirmish, ’’ Brooks r smiled, "before Tomas* men were I quieted. It was one of them who i, threw the rock that got you." r Roxie moaned as a fresh ache t eaught her in turning ever. "It was d all tec dteguaUagl" aha suspped
