Kate 'and Cass Keatipg. a- young fellow in love-•wlth her, she angrily tells .him he should' accept'; the offer, CHAPTER IV. "If you'd just calm down and let me explain," Martin began. "I don't want you to explain. All I know is that you have refased an offer that any other than' in.medical college would simply jump at—a chance to go to Berlin with old''an. Antwerp—" "Oh, shut up; you give mea paint" said Martin rudely. Cass, so far, had •been a concerned but not alarmed witness..' Now he said pacifically, with all the dignity of his twenty-seven years.' "What's the proposition; Mart?" "Well," said, Martin, eager to tails about it, in spite of himself, "Doc is going to do a yeasts staff Work at a Berlin hospital -one of the best, T guess.. He. says "he'd 'only want me about xhree n{orniegs a week to take clinic notes, and of cour..e to . drive :him• around, week -ends, and I could do mysecond year's work in the rest• of- the time --easy" "Speak German?" Cass.askedscowl- mg and considering. "Qh, like a native!" Mary Jane .ex claimed, Both men laughed. "Well, Mart, you have studied it for years," she added, accusatively, her cheeks teddening. "I've had to, driving old van Ant- werp around," Mart explained. "I guess I could make out," he admitted;. -bashfully. "And this is a -chance, is it, Mart'!" "Oh, Cass' Lt's being picked out of the ranks. Why I could get a scholar- ship easy, if I hada year in: Germany with van Antwerp," Mart said. Suddenly he-hilled, fell silent. His voice; when he spolte again, was flat. "Bat of course it can't be done!" he said simply. Mary Kate's indignant, expectant eyes moved to Cass's face; Cass dared not fail her. • "How much' money would it mean, Mart?" "He'd ay all my expenses, and a small salary, too." "No, but I mean—here?" "Oh? Oh, yes. Well, I'd say a thou- sand," Mart said magnificently. "I'd want Mother to draw about fifty every ,unth—that's six hundred. And then the rest for emergencies." Mary Kate returned to she seen of her brother's chaise and put her arm abort his neck, hissing him firmly on the temple. She fixed a look of utter confidence upon Cass Keating. "Now, listen, Mart, you're going!" she said positively. "Isn't He, Cass?" she said. "1 think,jie ought to," •Cass decided, hesitatingly, "Well, • you'll ' have to take it out thinking," Martin said. Yet he was pleased by their interest. "I could raise a thousand"—Cass mused aloud. "Forget it!" Martin said, with an air of finality. "Oh, but Mart—Mart—'' Mary iCate -nailed, "it might mean your whole life!" "It won't." "You mightn't ever get another chance like this!" "I will," "I can't bear it!" she said rebel- liously, out of a silence. "There's nothing to bear," Mart said, in a tone of annoyance. "It's not the first thing we've all had to give up,—look at Mother, Why, she practically sacrifice: her life, cooking and slaving—" "Yes, but that's different, Mart. When it's your children?" "I don't see it," Mart closed his eyes and rubbed his heed gently up and down against Mary Kate's shoulder, as silo leaned against him. "Cass, don't yen•think it's different, when it's your own children?" ' "Anything I say to be usedagainst me?" Cass asked, with his clean flash of white teeth in a dark face. "Oh, aren't you vile?" Maty Kate reproached him. "Ma isn't going to know one word of this," Mart ilea suddenly. "No, I suppose not." There was a silence. "1)o you suppose we'll al- ways be poor?" the girl asked then, dreamily "No!" the men said emphatically, together: They all laughed. Cass, e,$ a mat- ter of fact, had vu ver thought of money at all, until of late, when he actively and anxiously wanted -to marry Mary D. H.

Their mothe •'s pressing bur.' ren had been theirs, since actual. childhood. All their friends were poor•,`wete either shabby, ravenous, eager house- holds of grhwtng ,young persons like themselves, or quiet little' threadba e widows with flat purses,. middle-aged school teachers painfully anxious about a penniless old age, emaciated. spinsters who carried on enterprises. --boarding houses, dusty little millin- ery aliops'ainueic illinery.shops,'music "studies." The girls Mary Kate knew were; like herself, ambitions, spirited girls who left high school to plunge into uu- trained work, picking, up such era ficiency in stenography, bookkeeping, shorthand and 'kindred subject* as their opportunities afforded. The boys had all "escaped early from "last yea* grammar" or^"first year high"i they were *:grubby ungroomed lot, ranging all the way from saints to pirates, fighting their way through ignorance, and past their own inhibitions, to pre- sently emerge as average husbands and •father*, . average citizens' in a world of low -averages. Mart was an exception, of course; by ; reason of his .having finished "high," of his unusual intelligence; and of his ambition. ' And Cass was another, exception. One felt that Gass Was going to do wonderful things— make more money anyway than Mart would. Mart—Mart rather wanted to. serve the world, do something for un- fortunate sick folk. But Cass expect- ed the world to serve him, and serve him it would, seen ,or late. ' Whether he would go into politics, some day, or gamble in stocks, or take some big chance in real estate, Mary Kate never speculated. But she vaguely knew that he would do something like that, and do it well. Mart stirred in her deep admiration and loyalty. But Cass, so hanis-me and poised and scornful and sure of himself, was exciting. Tonight marked a 'real turning point in her life, and she was con- scious of it, as she sat here in the warm, shabby, orderly kitchen. Listen- ing to the soft spatter and rush of the March rain, leaning against darling old Mart, who had been her prop and stay since babyhood, and smiling at Cass Keating, wlio was presently go- ing to ask her to marry hint, Mary Kate felt safe and happy, and beloved. "I thought you people were gang to .a dance!" Mart said heavily, when the clock over the sink Said nine. Mary Kate departel to dress, and Ire dragged himself to the entry, dragged on his overcoat still damp from after- noon rain, and finally stumped sleepily away, yawning and dull, for an hour in the medical library. Cass combed his hair at the sink, and straightened his tie, and in ex- actly fifteen minctes a tall girl in a shabby, dark -blue taffeta dress came downstairs to join him. Mary Kate's shim body was outlined by the plainly fitting'froek; her arms and her inno- cent white throat were bare; her hair was brushed into silky flame above her wide, babyish forehead. There was a liquid sapphire glitter in her eyes. This was her ::our. She knew it the moment she stepped into the kitchen. She trembled as the dark boy got to his feet, and came over to her . and quite simply put his arms about her. Cass might be poised and scornful and sore of himself sometimes. But not now. Now he was shaking and incoher- ent, and incredulous. He could not believe that any girl as wonderful as Mary Kate could really want to be- long to him—live in the simple little home he could make for her—care that his coffee was hot and big chair com- fortable. "Mary Kate, you mean that we'll —we'll get married?" he kept saying, over and over again, with unsteady laughter. "Well, believe me, Cass Keating, if you and I are going to keep house in one of those new apartments in Mc- Allister Street, we'll be married!" And'then gales of laguhter, and the Whole thing to be said all over again. "No, but you do like me, don't you, Mary Kate?" "I think 1 do." "Oh, darling, you know that yeti dol" Interlude, "No, hut just tell me this, dear. You've not liked anyone this much be- fore, have you? Just tell me that." The dance was forgotten. They were together in the big ,chair that had been "Mether's rocker" ever since Mary Kate could remember anything at all; all the lights except one were out, in the kitchen. The windowpanes looked black, and the rain crawled and twinkleo on them. Mary lC-te did not have tui speak much. She restedly contentedly in her man's arms, her softclheek against his. Cass did all the taikina, (To be continued.) Found Out Briggs came upon his friend Wiggs in the park and was surprised at the worried look he saw on the latter's face.

"Why, yes," put in Briggs, "Wasn't he successful?" "Successful," laughed Wiggs hollow- ly. "I should say he was. What I'm worried about now is where I'm to get the cash to pay him lntsh-money."

The total number of patients treated in the course of last year was 842 of whom more than half were new cases. The lame used for the treatment include long -flame carbon' arc lamps Rif 'general irradiation, 'Kromayer water-cooled mercury vapour lamps for local ,treatment,• -and mercury va- :pour lamps .of the Jesoniek or I•Ian- ovia types for both purposes. • The 'natal lethal exposure of the patient to "Grade A. carbons'.' is five minutes to the front of the body and five to the back et a distance of throe feet. Grad- ually the exposure is increased to fif- teen minutes and the distance to two feet. The mercury vapour lamps for local treatment are applied at a dis- tance of from a quarter -inch to two Inches. During the first two years of work- ing the following results were obtain- ed at the Ashton Dispensary, which is the largest so far established: - 1. Lupus: Of 97 cases taking the treatment 44 were reported "quiescent and apparently cured." The rest were still undergoing treatment and were improving. 2. Meats; Of 101 cases treated 77. were apparently cured. Twenty-three were still under treatment, and one case only was stationary. These are the most striking in- stances. In other forms of tubercular disease few cases were treated and less satisfactory results obtained. It appears that artificial light treatment ,is unsuitable --to cases In which the lungs are affected, In 1929 the number of cases under- going treatment In all centres was 842, of whom 439 began treatment during the year. This'bigh.proportion of new cases is not surprising, as the average duration of light treatment for cases recovering is nine months. Of this number 303 completed the treatment during the year. Of these in 262 cases the disease was "quiescent and ap- parently cured;" in 34 the condition of tine patient was improved; only in 17 cases wee no improvement noticed. Three-quarters of the patients at- tending centre* were able to continuo their normal occupation during treat- ment. The average cost, of the treat- ment was $1,12 a head per week. It is estimated that $12,500 was saved by treating patients at the dispensary in- stead of in a hospital No Chance Tfrs.

"Wonder" Tomatoes • Present Generation Lives Mainly on Grass and Plants Nature is a wonderful chemist. 13y means,, of the plants she extracts car- bonic acid from the atmosphere, and. in the course of countless centuries its Products are• fossilized into •coal. Hu- man'sofence discovered some tine ago the wonderful things that can be ob- tained from Boal -medicines, dyes, solid and liquid ftels, anaesthetics, and hundreds of other things that man needs. But the world's coal supplies are not unlimited. We are using them up every day, antra -is calculated that in ten or fifteen generations from now they must come to an end, • Nature Outplaced by Science • The only thing Is for Science to dis- cover some means of short-circuiting Nature's processes, and some of the world's best brains are engagedupon this wonderful task. Presiding recent- ly at the meeting of the Society •of Chemical industry, Dr. Levinatein, the president, revealed how Science may accomplish in a matter of: hours the processes for which Nature requires thousands upon thousands of years, The air contains inexhaustible sup- plies of carbonic acid. We already extract from the air nitrogen, which is the raw material of many great in- dustries. Some day we shall obtain carbonic acid in the same way. Already a wonderful means of speed - Ing up Nature's methods has been found. Carbonic acid has been con- verted into methane, or coal gas, with- out the intervention of plant life. Coal gas can be completely converted into acetylene, which in la turn can be made to yield a tar co. taining about fifty per cent. of bene -lie. Thus our descendants may melt epwarcis into the air for their fuel, and for a large part of their raw material$, instead of burrowing for them into the ground as we do. To vary an old saying, plan cannot live on air alone, but it is likely that the future may proxe this false: The food of our descendants may actually be drawn from the air to a very great extent. Today we live, though you may not believe it, mainly upon grass and other plants, Wheat extracts from the air and from the soil the sub- stances required to build and maintain bodies. Grass does the sanle,/Ind is converted by the animals which eat It into a stronger form of food, which we consume as meat. Dining On Synthetic Beef The world to -day has a population of over two thousand millions, and at the present rate of increase this may be doubled in about seventy years. The time must come when alt the land available for forestry and agriculture M insufficient to produce the food needed. But before that we may have seen the fulfilment of Lord Meichett's prophecy, that some day Britons would dine on succulent joints of synthetic roast beef. Earth, air, are, and water, rho four elements of the ancients, contain all the raw materials for our industries and for Our Livelihood. Science has aI- ready pried ajar the door of Nature's laboratory. As the Years go by rho may yield up more and mete of her secrets, and we shall make greater use of her unlimited resource*. Fate of Expedition Revealed t Last Grim Arcitc Gives Up Secret of Attempted Flight to Pole Oslo, Norway.—The fate of the An- drea expedition, which started for the North Pole. in a balloon 33 years. ago has .been solved after having been locked a secret in the frozen Arctic • wastes since 1897. The bodies of two members of the expedition, strangely preserved by the cold, have been found on a frozen is- land near Franz Joseph Land, in the .north polar regions. They had flown from Spitzbergen in a balloon with one other gran, whose body apparently has •not yet been found. The two survivors were discovered at'a camp they ,had made on Victoria Island, which is within a few degrees of the North Pole. Apparently they bad drifted hundreds of miles from their starting point before coming down. They built a shelter under a cliff and died of starvation and cold. Log Recovered "The log of the remarkable expedi- tion was recovered. Members of the expedition were Salmon August Andtee, an aeronaut and explorer; Nils Strandberg and Knut H. P. Free/tel. They left Dane's Island, Spitzbergen, on July 11, 1897. They were heard from when a carrier pigeon returned to civilization bearing a message which gave the expedition',$ position as north 92 degrees. After that there was silence. They were found on Aug. 6 by a vessel, which apparently reported its discovery of the No•weg- fan scientific expedition aboard the steamship Brattvaag. The bodies were fully clothed and in a good state of preservation There was no doubt of the identification of Anclree, since bis name was found on a book in his pocket. A short distance from him lay the body of one of his -companions, but whether this was Strindberg or Free• kel has not yet been determined. An dree appeared to have survived hie companion for a time, The makeshift camp was at the foot of a cliff about 600 feet from the shore line. Word that the log book was found was hailed with interest, since it is expected to disclose a dramatic story of the expedition's finish, The Brattvaag is still in Franz Joseph Land, with the bodies of An dree and the other man aboard. The ship expects to reach Norway about Sept. 10. The Asset Test Barry and Horace, two. Lancashire lads, met on holiday in the Isle of Man.
