The House
Beautiful
By Mender Ross
Cc,3==imm.s.
"But I didnt mean to tell you. For,
my dear, there's something better
worth building than a house."
"I know—a good life—oharacter."
"Do on read all my thoughts?"
he smiled. "But thats it—I never
wanted to spoil my memories of our I
—our love—by—by permitting any
selfishness, any greed."
The step of the man on the stair, I
unseen by these two lovers, went
unheard, but the out -of -sight listener !
crept higher until his head was
scarcely hidden beneath the wooden
flooring of the empty room,
"There is no greed in you," Hazel
Was saying. "And, Bill, I want to sal
that nothing in the world -would
ever make me swerve from my jour -
Dose when the time comes for me to
/
turn the corner and leave you. I
love you too dearly, too deeply, ever
to play with It, ever to philander.
When we part we part for ever."
"Ian glad you have said that,
Hazel." His voice was vibrant,
"Because it is so lovely to hear you
say once again you love me. Why,
oh, why can't the good God let us
love?'
It was almost a sob, a cry oui. of a
wilderness—the first time he had al-
lowed himself to give -voice to the
regret that gnawed inside him.
Hazel stood watching him,
"Bill,' she said. "I shall love you ,
as long as. I live. Anything the world I
does to me will never alter that I
anything I have to do, won't en-
croach on that. I shall love you till
I die, even though after the house is

They swung round, these lovers
who were drawing so near for a
moment before the final parting,

Peered a face, 'with eyes the, held
them, eyes that told them their
owner had beard what had passed.
'Jack!" cried out Bill,
And—
"Mr. Strange!" eXclaimed Hazel,
Instinctively Bills hand had
sought Hazel's and they stood
there as if ready to meet judgment,
Mi', Strange game slowly into the

"I've been eavesdropping," lie
said, and smiled, "Sometimes the
fairies listen sometimes the demons.'
"Jack." Bill expostulated with a
touch of grieyance and ,surprise.
This was not the balanced, reserved
man he called friend,
"I came down,' went on Mr.
Strange, "to see a house beautiful
in course of construction, and in-
stead I stumble into a ruin—the ruin
of two lives. Children," he smiled
from one to the other, "behold in
your friend here the true restorer
To Hazel the man was speaking in
riddles, yet a queer feeling was
sweeping into he rmind; she felt as
if she were on the brink of some-
thing wonderful.
There was a light in Mr
Strangers eye, a glow on his face,
that was at variance with the
tragedy hemming them in.
"What do you mean?" she asked,
"You have overneard something—
that—"
'That you need not be ashamed or,
any dear" put in Mr, Strange, "Dut
I told you long ago that you cannot
compromise with love,"
"You are right," said Bill, violent.

me see Hazel, and she belongs to

Pitiful—remorse and sense of loss.
Strange walked across to the two

"I'm proud of you both," he de-

"Proud!" scoffed Bill.

FIELD SERVICE
W44 744.4e dr.e. day.
With all the anxious watching and waiting_
that precedes the ripening of a crop, the
harvest itself seems to descend with "Blitz-
krieg" speed.
And once on, speed is the essence of
success—for delay may be costly to the
farmer.
Heavy crops in down and tangled condi-
tion give rise to problems in harvesting
methods and equipment operations and
throw excessive strains on much worn parts
of old, reliable machines.
11 18 then that the farmer appreciates the
real value of farm machine service as .
rendered by Massey -Harris.
Competent men with experience in field
problems and service that takes years
to acquire, and a system that provides
for the ready availability of parts for
any of its machines, no matter how old,
so as to avoid costly delays, are what
have earned for Massey -Harris the enviable
reputation which it has long enjoyed as—
"THE SERVICE ARM OF THE CANADIAN
FARM."

couples In your shoes would have
snatched a something more than
the joy of seeing, each other occas-
ionally. You haVe been honest and
it's difficult to be that when your
hearts are in turmoil, Bat, really
I don't -undenstand, All I know Is
that Hazel is engaged to a man and
yet loves you, „How does that come
about? And ,why do you talk ol
parting If you have made a mis-
take—and I told you over In
Normandy you had—why don't you
break off your engagement and
many where your heart is?"
Bill looked at Hazel and she at
him. She spoke suddenly.
"I've to marry Reggie Moreton,
but it is Bill I love."
"No girl can be forced to marry."
Mr. Strange answered, gently.
Then she told him—of her moth. -
ors terrible strait and how this was
the only way.
"And she would let you sacrifice
yourself for her?" he asked in . a
curiously hard voice.
"She hasn't any faith in love."
explained Hazel. "To her marriage
is a success if it brings luxuries and
so for h."
"I know, as you say your mother
knows nothing of love."
The bitterness in his tones—so un -
'usual in him—made the filial in-
stinct in. Hazel assert itself.
"You mustn't say that. She's done
everything for me since my father
deserted us,"
"My dear, it was impossible for
your father to remain twith her. He
loved her and tbe tragedy of his life
Was to findshe ,could not love him"
"How do you know • that " de-
manded Hazel critically.
"Because I am your father," said
Mr. Strange,
He held out a 'hand to her. She
took it with wonder in her eyes.
"So that is why when, you asked
me over to Prance you told me to
call you Strange?" Bill was saYi07..
But the others didn't ,heed him.
Strange had put his arm about
Hazel's shoulders.
"It's a sad story, fin been aloe
for sixteen years because of your
•mother's determination to live her
owu life. She never loved me—as
we three understand love. Don't
think I speak in anger. I'm telling
you yhat 1 never said to a soul b.
fore, but I won't have your life
spoilt—and Mill's. You may have
thought hard things of me, but T
have never lost sight of you, ray
dear. There was no need for ole to
interfere while you were at school
but now you are throwing away
your happiness, dor the sake of
money, I come forward. You, shall
not marry yhere you do not love,
but where you do."
Bill looked at Hazel, she at hint,
Strange watched them. He saw the
light that grew in their eyes.
'Sill," she •breathed on a long
breath, then she glanced back Ito the
other man.
"But how can we—how can you—
Oh." she 'broke off yitlt a cry, "1
can't break my word to pool.
Reggie."

McCullough of the Health League
Of Canada. The study referred to
was carried On six years among
groans of control and vaccinated
childern. TJp to the present time
288 control and 1,007 vaccinatett
children have been followed. Of the
foraner, 52 and of the latter 07,
were in contact with cases of
whooping cough. The number of
cases in the first group were 42
and in the latter group 10, so that
the respective percentages were 82
and 10.
Protective Vaccine
dente 97 contacts in the vac-
cinated group there were 23 di-
rect exposure to brothers and
sisters with whooping cough. In
the 23 instances the nature of the
contact was intimate and continu-
ous (often kissing, drinking from
the same cup or sleeping in the
same bed). None of the 23 de-
veloped the disease from their
brothers and sisters. This is yery
strong evidence ct the protective
value of the vaccine since, one
'would not exipeot all of the 20
children continuously exposed to
whooping cough to escape the dis-
ease.
It will be noted that there were
82 cases of whooping cough in the
control group and but ten in the vac-
cinatr children. This is another
strong suggestion that the vaccine
protects.
Another fact, already referred to.
is that while 52 control children
coming in contact with whooping.
cough, 43 contracted the disease giv
Ing a morbidity of 82 per cent. mut
10 to 97 vaccinated children were in-
fected, giving a morbidity of but 10,
Per cent. in this group.
The foregoing, added to one's
own experience is the 'USC of whoop-
ing cough vaccine, indicates that
this preventive remedy should be
used in all oases where there is a
threat of this disease.
