And you reu,stn't think you've hurt me. I hope wltlh all my heart' you are going to be happier than I should everhave made you." (Diana Celt a .soft warm hand thrust into here as the gill with Basil came over to her and in a drawling American voice said— "I guess you're a real peaoh, Miss Barden, We've treated you very bads and it's just splendid of you to take it like this. I on't say that I'm eovey that you and Basil don't hit it off as much as you ough, for Pm real crazy myself about him" ' "That's eplendid," Diana murmur- ed 'And now we can all be good friends wibh, no ill -feeling anywhere. I am so glad that I came along in that unexpected way, for I don't suppose you would ever have told me, Basil, would you?" He gave a little shamefaced laugh. "I don't ,suppose I should. I'd given you any word' you see," he said. "And—well, I've always• been so keen on you, till you seemed to alter----" "Well, I'll leave you two to your- selves," Diana broke in in case his floundering led hint into saying things better left unsaid. "I'm going to explore the ship•" ,She was, so happy that she felt she couldhave sung aloud. The barrier between Harry and herself was down. It had not been. her hand which had demolished it, her honour was clean on the matter. There was nothing now to stop her Iover coming to her. Nothing but time, and time, she realised, would become a real enemy to ber In the long weeks. which must elapse before Harry could hear the news and send for her. .,,luuert.s:dii,ale) k '1 * An English garden, set in a fold of delle Sussex downs, aver which the sweet, salt -laden breeze :blew so softly as to hardly stir the roses blooming so luxuriously in the setting of emerald' green turf and old grey walls. , It was her brother's house and garden, where Diana now waited, much as• the Sleeping Beauty of the old fairy tale waited, for the coming of the Prince, The news of her broken engage- ment had reached Harry, she knew for she had rceived a cable from him saying omLy— "May I come to you?" She bad sent baok just the one word "yes," and since then had waited, in happy certainty, for his arrival. 'She did not know wnee, at what hour or on what day, he would co -me, but she• was not impatient, She had despaired so long, that she could accord this quiet yet delicious time of expectation. Game day the garden gate would click—she would see his tall, fair- hairedform striding between the roses to her, she would see again those bright blue eyes which held for her the whole world in their depths. Beyond that her fancy would not stray. Two days ago she had been a guest at Basil's weddink-reception, and a deep thankfulnesls had filled her heart at the escape he and she had from lifelong unhappiness, Despite all her brave res elutions she would never have been able to cheat either of them luta any true .happiness, when her heart belonged to another man. Instead, she and ,Beets and his pretty American, wife were u•ow arm friends, and Diana hovecl that they would be back from their honey- moon to attend her wedding, when it happened, to H.arliy Teetot. How different the feelings with which she thought of her wedding now. Her heart beat, her cheeks fiu•stlrecl, her eyes 'brightened with joy at tie prospect. How had she ever mistaken that lotrg-ago infatuation for Basil for love? Poor old Basil, it was splen- did that things had turned out as they had, for him. And thinking thus, suddenly Iter face turned to vivid rove, her pulses raced, the sound' she had been wait- ing for all this, time fell upon her ears, The clicking of the garden gate, the quick hurrying footsteps she, would recognise anywhere in the world, the low -voiced murmur of her name --"Diana" She turned, and there Harry was, the sun on that absurdly golden head of his, his eyes. filled with such a passion of rapture that she could scarcely meet theta --and then she was in 'his arms, his lips' were on hers, and all the time of sorrow and hoielesel longing was as it it had never been, T.H.F. END. Sees War's End This Year Why the war should come to an end this year is outlined in figures submitted by a reader in a i4tter to the Winnipeg Free Press. He works it out like this: itler was been in 1889, came to power int 1933, spent nine yeare in power and attained the age of 53 this: year. Add up these figures and they total 3,284. Mussolini was born in 1883, came to porwer in 1982, spent 20 years in power and this• year became 59. Again these figures total 3,884. Stalin was barn in 1879, came to THAT the prodigious task of providing the 1 foodstuffs for an Empire at war can be undertaken by Canadian agriculture with less man -power than ever before is due to the high degree of mechanization of the form which had been reached before the outbreak of war. Massey -Harris leadership in the developing and building of such labor-saving equip- ment for the •Farm is recognized throughout the world, and has resulted in an enviable reputation for this great Canadian Company wherever grain is grown. It is but natural, therefore, that a Company with such great resources in plant, skill and experience should be chosen for the pro- duction of various munitions of war. Several types of shell, aircraft wings and parts, and equipment for military transports are being turned out with the skill and efficiency which have made the name Massey -Harris famed throughout the years for products of highest quality. Massey -Harris is proud of its part in pro- viding the implements so essential in modern farming under war conditions and in furnish- ing munitions and equipment so vital to the success of our fighting forces, - rwr r roti .s ,..i, ru z.ul rr'� ruir�w�i i`w wrw pirCCCi7o,I r srs� !ll1ur � err#n^vor �:l? +%�• f, 1, l inti•, �• 27t a sa ns a _e ir i ` prrCr�J�4L fir.. ler IMOOMPOPMMIIIIIWO r� MASSEY-HARRIS COMPANY LIMITED BUILDERS OF GOOD FARM IMPLEMENTS SINCE 1 84 7 THE BRUSSELS POST power in 1924, had 18 years ill power aud. was 60 years old this year.
