You said, Fraz- ierand-Rech are in Pediatrics, or GYN, or Surgery, as they progress- ed through the mouths of their rotating services. That doctor -nurse combination had begun three year's before, back in interne -probationer days, more or less by accident and it had continued by design—Dr. Peter Frazier's design—straight on into Emergency, Dr. Frazier's last service before he would go into private practice. For the first time in .months Candace ' found, herself resenting it. In the beginning, longing to run away from anything or any- body that even remotely suggest- ed Martin she had fought bitterly against that enforced contact with Peter; but circumstances and Peter's quiet will •had been . too much for her. She would have said that she had completely forgotten Martin. 'Dhat he was to' her now simply a doctor who had once been an interne at the hospital and was now a consulting staff member who appeared occasionally on ism portant cases. That would be true again after tomorrow; but today he was more thanthat, much more. He was the man she had once loved, and who was to marry on the next day another girl. * 5 * She had conte 0n evening duty a . few minutes before, to find Emergency busy in the aftermath of a. street fight in a nearby for. eign neighborhood. Being shep- herded up to a ward under the, watchful eye of a policeman was a sullen group sporting assorted bandaged knife wounds and black- ened eyes, while on the table, wincing under Peter's probing fin- gers, was still another late bel- ligerent. Seppersou, the nurse she was relieving, was a- good one as far as care and kindness went; but not pae'tioularly quick or efficient. Candace thought, Seppy'11 be all night at this mess it I don't clear it, and she set quickly to work to rid the corner behind the screen Get one of the fastest reliefs ever found forr headaches, neuritic pain, neuralgia—o1 incredibly low price 100 tablets for 980 Today, druggists all over Canada arefeaturingAspi ria, recognized as one of the fa4est. reliefs from pain ever known, for less than one cent a tablet!

She was still cleaning back there, out of sight, when she heard two of the internes on am- bulance duty -riding the bus, as it was called—come into Emer- gency, arguing cheerfully. She recognized them from their voices as Henderson, the rather flip good- looking one, and fat Quincy, "It's three days since that baby was born in your bus," Quincy was saying. "Three days, and you haven't come across with that barrel of beer forfeit yet, The rest of te are drying. of dry -rot, waiting." lug the personal equation, It malcee things very ear,,—for me. I'm afraid its bad for yott, though. Keep every hum= emotion too long in leash and .one day they'll turn on you and rend you:' Candace laughed, sharp and bard. ,With a deliberate effort to Da insulting she said, "I never thought. you'd be guilty of such cheap advice;Doctor. That euro - tion rending business -1 thought only the cheaper internes- trying to interest some nurse in a con- venient affair used that lone," She had succeeded in annoying him finally. "If you're 'insinuat- ing that I'm advising an affair for you—I'm not, Even to an affair one must bring something; and you're fast getting to the stage where you're just an empty Yen - Eel." 5 5 • " 'Empty vessels make most noise,' "sbe quoted. "That's what I was always told as a child when I prattled too much. But itseems to me that you're the one who's doing the prattling lust now. Prattling the sort of advice that goes over big with neurotic lady patients. The type of patients who' really pay. You'll be a big success at that rate, Doctor." Abruptly she stopped. Exactly that was being said about Martin, that he was build- ing up that kind of a practice— The thought of Martin cense as a shock. She realized, with al- most a feeling of gratitude to- ward Peter for having so distract. ed her, that the day she had so long dreaded was almost over and she. had been forgetting to think of Martin, that she had not once, Mime coating on duty, imagined him practicing for that scene In the church tomorrow. And now, she knew thankfully, she's have no time to think of it. Because she was hearing the sir- en of a policeman's motorcycle, the sound of a speeding car coining to a grinding stop 'in the coultl yard outside. The. .emergency warning gong began to sound. There was the familiar faint squeak of the stretcher-earriage's wheels, the muted footsteps' of at- tendants on the cork floor of the corridor. The carriage reached the door of Emergency, paused an instant to negotiate,hhe turn, then —Martin Corby was wheeled in. (Continued Next Week) That prospect didn't seem to dismay Henderson. "Y' know, I Itinda wish you would," he said cheerfully. "You'd force me into bankruptcy to fork over $0 for a barrel of beer when you can ,get stinko tomorrow at the Harts- horne -Corby nuptials at Papa H•artsborne's expense. Papa Harts- horne, they say, is providing even champagne" Candace had stiffened. Shut up, she thought wildly. Shut up! But Quincy's mind had already gone on to other things. "What are you doing here?" he asked Sepperson. "Where's Hitiat Beck? Isn't she supposed to be on? Not that I don't prefer you," he added lightly. "Beets always makes me feel nine years old, un- washed, and late for school." With the change of subject. Candace could breathe again. She emerged from behind' the screen, rather pale but apparently other- wise unruffied, "Good evening," she said with vinegary sweetness. "I .see- our dear little cheerful cherubs are with us again." Sepperson giggled nervously, and the two boys murmured confused apologies and slunk abashed from the room. Peter straightened a moment from the wound he was dressing. "You're bushed, Sep," he said casually. "Go on, Bech will take over." 0 4 * When she had gone and Can- dace stood beside him he grinned at her companionably. "I'd hate to see sethalt would happen if one of the young squirts around here got up courage enough to dare say 'boo' to you," he remarked. Candace stared frostily, raised warning eyebrow's over the 'par tient's head. Oh, he doesn't speak Engllish," Peter explained. 'What I mean is," he went on, "yon have every man -Jack scared of you when, if only they had brains .enough to see it, you're the one who's really scared. Scared still that life will find•you out, force you out of that hard shell you're so busily grow- ing." She had struggled hard to put their relationship on a profes- sional, stricely impersonal basis and It had seemed that site had finally won. It was a long, long while since a really personal re - mask had passed between them. She was angered,, and wounded, that Peter should presume today of all days. She said sharply, 'You're so clever, Doctor. You read me juet like an open book, don't you? But then you should, since you've seen all the pages' "Save the. sarcasm," Peter ad- vised mildly, "Its a mighty effec- tive weapon in most cases, and I've come to adanire the way you use it, but I'm is thick I'd blunt it. Resent it Or not, it's still sound advice for you to put that perfect machine you've become under dust corers once in a while and conte out for air. At least when you're off duty." "Tf ever t should need or want your advice,' Doctor;' she said stiffly, "I'll conte to you as a par tient end ask for it" ;Her face' was white and her voice shook, but the well-trained hands that furnished him with implements never wavered: "You must renew," she broke out furiously again after a mo- ment, "that I resent this plying on me all the time, That I hate having to work with you; Hate it, hate it, Tet You've somehow man- aged it it on every service. l; hyo" "Olit, it's for a Very selfish sea- son," Petet said lazily, "Beeatse you're a perfect machine, With you, one Never has 10 be consider • - LOVELY EMBROIDERY !e 3r o y.%Lt"4'dYi. p alill' lS �� pl s.� efa e0, A lb��pyym��L �9:Fo� n v r.,p . ..rDrp,,rc. vJr.,rn. 533 de watts. )4010� i` 6'o b1Afit .V obi` Let your best lhs.eiis "blossoms out". for Spring—by adding this spying -like flower embroidery.

The Place Where Water Runs Uphill Phenomenon in New Brune - Moir Called "The Magnette Hill" About six miles from Moreton, New Brunswick, there is a queer and intriguing phenomenon known es "The Magoetis Hill," For years, it was referred to as "the place where the, water runs up hill" and otherwise' thought of very little. Then, the more inquisitive be- gan casting about for a suitable explanation of this unusual occur- rence and certain among them allowed that the deposits of iron ore, which they claim they always knew existed under this hill, exerted force on an automobile and drew it up hill by magne- tism! Hence, the present name "Magnetic Hill," But the procedure.is this: Drive to a point now marked by a white post. Stop here; shift geare to 'neutral and turn off the engine of your car. In no time at all, you're off! Up the hill you go— gathering momentum es you climb! Wheli your car finally comes to a stop on the crest of the hill, look down on the post from which you started. Then try to coast down toward the post. It can't be done.' Plenty of gaso- line is needed to get you there. Nor is it possible to go much faster them thirty-five miles an hour up the hill that lies just be- yond the "Magnetic Hill." .Many may be the local explanations of this phenomenon, but no official theory has yet been found. The Topsyturvy Land Of Japan: Where Left is Right And Right Side Wrong In Japan always the left is the right side, and the right side is wrong. Keys must be turned, to open or close a leek„ in what we are accustomed to think is the wrong direction. Books begin' at the back, or what we call the end, the type beiug.ueually set in ver - ti -cal colurnns and read from right to left. In addressing an envel- ope, the name' of the town comes . first and that of the addressee last. In building a house, the roof is constructed, the parts num- hared, uns bared, separated and stored away, before the, superstructure is be- gun. There are' no flowers in .a landscape, garden. Carpenters plane towards the body. A match is struck • away from one. The Occidental wave of .good-bye, in Japan, signifies "come here." Men take first place in every- thing. They precede women, en- tering or leaving a room and also on the street. The man is served first at meals, and it is the woman who pays the bills in restaurants and holds the purse strings at house: she is also the one to carry the parcels. Comparatively few embroiderers are women, most of the finest work being executed by men and boys. As a last example, let us watch' a Japanese maiden thread her needle: Look! She is slipping the eye of the needle over the point of the thread, .Large Pulpwood Shipment For U. S.
