"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.

"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.

With all the anxious watching and waiting_ that precedes the ripening of a crop, the harvest itself seems to descend with "Blitz- krieg" speed.

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.

"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.

To Be Continued HEALTH TOPICS PREVENTION OF WHOOPING COUGH Prom studies made at -the Con- naught Laboratories and ,School of Hygiene, Toronto one gain 'view that whooping cough may be prevented by the timely use Of a fresh strain vaccine produecd Inc this purpose, writes Dr, John W.

WILLIS BRUSSELS. ONT. 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. — • It 11 -Business (eards DosseasesemismismorgememommEmsea W.
