"Say no more," Diana told him
quickly, "I understand, I do indeed,
Basil. 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,

Unusual iNgtepaper
Mahn, George Carter of Clinton is
In possession of a very interesting
letter from iter husband, Signalman
George Carter, now in Dngland. The
fact that makes it most interesting
is that it is written' ou a piece of
barrage !balloon, ,shot down over
Surrey, England, by Gellman raiders
It is soft and pliable like suede, and
one sride has been treated with
aluminum paint. Souvenirs like this
are certainly not common.
