WALKER FURNITURE AND PUNERALL SERVICE SYNOPSIS Pauline, sentimental, trustful, sin- cere and loving love, becomes engag- ed and marries Dennis O'Hara in the belief that their blissful happiness will continued unchanged thru all the years. On her wedding morning she awakens with a strange premonition that that maybe love does change, a thought buried in her mind by a.•let- ter from her closest :friend, Barbara, the night before. Pauline adored Barbara .who had been married, was the 'mother of a child which died, but now divorced and living a life, which some of her friends could not ander- stand. Between Dennis and Barbara is a seeming wall of personal dislike by both, Six months after Pauline's wedding, Barbara comes for a short stay. During this visit Barbara con- fesses to Pauline that there is a man She really loves, but re refuses to tell his name. Barbara decides suddenly of go home and Pauline insists Den- nis driver her to the station. Irri- tated Dennis drives recklessly; and. they are in a crash. Barbara esacpes injury brit Dennis' leg is broken. As he returns to consciousness he learns who the man is that Barbara loves. It's himself. Dennis spend several weeks in the hospital. Barbara returns to stay with Pauline, but one pretext or an- other fails to visit. Dennis with Paul- ine at the hospital. Pauline plans highly for Dennis' return home. Barbara stays only one day after. Dennis' return from the hospital. Much against his will Dennis finds a new attraction in Barbara, who plays the sang cool and attached role as formerly. A fortnight after Barbara returns to New York, she receives a letter from Pauline that she and Dennis are coming to New York for a little • vacation. Upon their arrival a round of gay entertainment gets under way —throwing Dennis and Pauline much into each other's company. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Pauline moved hurriedly, her pret- ty face flushing with pleasure at the casual word of endearment. Barbara noted it pityingly. Later, when she was dancing with Jerry Barnet, she said suddenly: "Have you ever noticed, Jerry, that when a man begins to call his wife 'my dear' it's the end of romance." Jerry guffawed. "Can't say I have, but I dare say you're right. Romance is the shortest lived thing I know of, anyway. Awful! Barbara glanced across the room'to where Dennis and his wife sat to- gether at thesupper table. Pauline was watching the dancers eagerly, her face flushed and her eyes very bright. Dennis was watching them too — moodily, his hand idly playing with a wineglass. When she and Barnet,. went back to the table, Dennis rose. "Am I to be honoured?" he asked stiffly. Pauline broke in. "Do dance with him, .Barbie—I should love you to, and it is a waltz they are playing now." Barbara laughed. "Well, to please. you ..." She moved away onto the crowded floor with Dennis. They danced for some tune in si- lence; then Dennis asked abruptly: "Do you really like this sort of thing?" orof thing?". "What sortg.". "This noise and glare — and — and artificiality." "I adore it," Barbara said. It was A. J. WALKER Licensed Funeral Director and p. Embalmer. Office ?hone' 106.• Res. Phone 224.

Suddenly he swept her away from the crowded floor and through an arched alcove into a small unoccup- ied, room. "We're not allowed here," Barbara said calmly. "In a moment, -I want to speak to you,', 'Pauline will miss us." "She is dancing with Barnet -I saw her." "Let me go." "In a moment." He was between her and the ballroom. "Look, Bar- bara—answer me one question and I swear I'll never mention it again. I don't know what you've done to roe. It's—it's like being possessed— I've fought against it ever since you left us. It's no use. ' I've tried to despise you. • T pretended I didn't like you -but that makes . no differ- ence. When I was smashed up -you kissed. me, Barbara." There was a tragic silence, and the scornful smile died slowly from Bar- bara's face, and she Just looked at him, her lips quivering, her eyes sud- denly very young. Then she moved her hand slowly and touched his, "Dennis—Pauline is very fond of me." loathesome life." "You seemed to be enjoying your- self,' he paused. "At any rate, with O'Hara. I thought you didn't like him," "I don't remember discussing the subject with you." "You did. You said it "vas a bore when you heard they were coming to town." The street looked dreary and de- serted, there was not a light in any window of the tall block of flats. Barbara ,shivered. "Well — good- night," she said. Barnet tried to put his arms round her. "Are you going to have an af- fair with that fellow?" he demanded jealously. " I saw him' take you into Ritzen's'room—or did you take him?" He broke off sharply, for instead of the burst of anger he had expected, Barbara began to cry—softly, almost like a child. She slipped away from him, and he let her go. Barbara in a rage he could understand and cope with, but. Barbara in tears—sobbing like a girl —left him helpless and ashamed. It was a strange thing that, once safely in her room, Barbara's chief feeling should be one of guilt. It was not that she had any great affection for Pauline. She felt that somehow she was wronging Dennis. He was, as he had said, so unlike other men. Dennis was different and i sr "Dennis caught her in his arms." "I know." "Well, then—" she took her hand away -"let's go back, shall we?" Dennis went on quickly: "I don't know what you've done to me. But if you'll just tell me -I'11 never ask you again. If I'd been free—" Her trembling lips smiled. 'Such a big 'if' Dennis." At that moment he seemed to her almost a boy—no longer the disap- proving, almost brusque man she had known, and at that moment she felt also as if all her bitter experience had been swept away from her and she was a girl again, in love for the first time. She closed her eyes, and as almost unconsciously she swayed toward him, Dennis caught her in his arms. * * On the way home Jerry ,Parnet was silent and sulky. It was three o'clock in the morning, gray and chilly with a fine drizzle of rain.. Wrapped in her fur cloak Barbara sat with closed eyes and tried not to think. It was only when they stop- ped outside her flat that she roused suddenly with a start. She flung the rugs aside.' "I'm tired. Why do we do these road. things, Jerry? Its a _-a she knew that he despised himself for the thing he 'could not control. Yet the strange inexplicable 'attrac- tion which she had felt for him for so long had; now communicated itself to him and was proving stronger than his own inherent loyalty. Barbara was essentially honest with herself. No matter how niuch she posed and dissembled' before her world she never for one moment tried to pretend to herself that she was any better than she was. And now at four o'clock in this gray morning she sat down by the fire before she went to bed and looked. into her heart with cool deliberation. She loved Dennis O'Hara as she had never loved any man—that was a truth that she had never question- ed. She was sufficiently a woman of the world to recognize that her 'at- traction for him was probably large- ly- physical. She knew that she ang- ered and exasperated him even while she drew him, and that the obstin- ate, intensely masculine trait in •his character longed to overcome her and prove himself master. She had controlled her love for him: bravely enough until tonight, un- til that moment, in Ritzen's little room when he had taken her in his arms and kissed her. Dennis was married, but lots of other men with whom she had had affairs had also been married, and it had not seemed as insuperable bar- rier, but here again Dennis was diff- erent. Suppose he had been ,free, For a moment Barbara gave herself up to the wonderful happiness ofthat thought, Free! So that she could have married him! She felt, for the first time; as if she had lost her way on the road of life; as if she had turned asideand so missed the greatest treasure of all. Without her Dennis would have been quite happy with, Pauline; quite satis- fied with her—but would he? Was- n't he already tired of Pauline's in- sistent affection, her childishness, and her demands upon him? "If I hadn't come there would have been somebodyelse some ,day," Bar- bara told herself. That was life as she knew it • She tried to feel brave and deter- mined, but when at last she got in- to bed sleep was impossible: She kept living over and over again those few moments with Dennis .O'Hara. His kiss had been the real thing -a seal set upon her heart and soul for- ever. The O'Haras had been in New York three days when a letter came from Pauline's mother. Pauline was breakfasting' in bid. She had had three late nights and was tired. She also had a very new and becoming negligee, and she wanted to see whe- ther Dennis noticed it. Apparently he had not. He got upat the usual time, bathed, and went downstairs to breakfast. "Ydu ought to rest," Pauline scold- ed. "You must be dead tired." But Dennis hated breakfast in bed and said so. "I'll have mine downstairs and come up again," he said. ' So Pauline had hers alone. There was a long mirror in a wardrobe door opposite, and in it she could see her reflection -a very charming reflection. The new negligee suited- her, she decided, and she wondered wistfully why Den- nis had not told her so. She sighed and took up the .letter. My Darling Child (her mother wrote) 1 am sitting up in bed writing this, as I have not beenvery well. It seems such a long time since I saw you, Pauline, and as Daddy has to go to Los Angeles on business for a few days I am wondering if Den- nis will spare you to me? I have not been very well—it's my silly old' heart again, so Dr. Panthan says, but I.; feel sure a rest and a sight of you will put me right. How are you,. sweetheart? Your letters tell me so little, and I long to see you and`. know that you are happy. Of course, if Dennis . will come too, we shall be only too pleased to have him, but I an sure that he must'' be anxious not to leave business after such >a long absence. . . There was a good deal: more, little details of the home life which • seem- ed' to Pauline so far away and unin- teresting. Then a last appeal: Do come if you can; you don't know how much I want to see you. Pauline laid the letter down with a feeling of guilt. She wished she had told her mother of this trip to New York, and yet in a way she was glad now she had not, because had she done so she knew this letter would never have been written,' She sighed and turned to pour some coffee, and then she saw an- other letter which had slipped out of sight behind the toast rack. It. was addressed in her father's hand- writing, and Pauline's heart missed a beat as she tore the envelope open. illy `Dear Pauline: I have got to go to Los Angeles for a few clays on urgent business. Could you manage to come to your mother? She is not at all well, and I do not like leaving her alone. I ant sure Dennis will spare you if you tellit. the facts. h n aC $.

"I must go. Of course I must go," Pauline said aloud. She sat up in bed and was surprised to see how her hand trembled as she lifted her cup. The door opened, and Dennis came in. "Mother's ill," Pauline said in 'a quivering voice. "I11? Let me see." He took the two letters from her and read them. "It's not as bad as that, is it?" he. asked chidingly. Pauline's eyes filled with tears. "I' shall have to go, Dennis." (Continued Next Week.) A HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL. ASSOCIATION AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA THE TIRED FEELING We all know what it is to feel tir- ed. We may say that we are worn out, or have gone stale, and if we feel very tired, we describe ourselves as being exhausted or all in. The tired feeling may be a pleasant re- laxation after a hard days work, or it may be an uncomfortable sensa- tion that any. additional task calls for an unreasonable effort. The food we eat acts as fuel to provide the energy required to keep the machinery of the body active and to supply the power that is needed for the physical work done by our muscles. The body stores kip some of the food that is eaten in a form called glycogen, which can be very readily converted into energy. The body seldom, ifever, is fatigued in the sense that power or energy is exhausted. ' The body, in its capacity of ma- chine, produces waste material. Ash- es are the waste left from •coal that is burned to produce energy. Simil- arly when food is' burned in the body. to keep the human machine in mo- tion, waste materials are formed. In addition, there iS also some body waste produced as a result of the constant breaking -down of the worn- out cells of the bolcly tissues. Body wastes are beiug constantly removed. Every time we breathe out, we get rid of some carbon di- oxide, one of the major waste pro- ducts. While we are active, we do not get ridof the waste products as quickly as they are produced, and it is this accumulation which causes true fatigue. We , eliminate any ac- cumulation during the hours of sleep. The normal, healthy body does not carry over fatigue from one - day' to another. There is. another kind of fatigue,.. one which is very common. It is. the fatigue which arises from 'emo- tional causes. We have all exper- ienced how our tired feeling vanish- es when we are released from some monotonous or uninteresting piece of work. The man who comes homer from work dead -tired, as he express- es it, soon forgets his fatigue when he is asked to play a game he en- joys. The roan who would com- plain of being done out by walking several miles to work, thoroughly en- joys an even longer walk over an irregular golf course. The woman who is too tired to wash the dishes will not be too ',tired to shop for a. new hat that she wants. This particular kind of tired feel- ing disappears when we are doing- something oingsomething we enjoy or in which we - are interested. Provided regular hours of rest are observed and rea- sonable attention is given to hygien- ic living,the tired feeling in the normal, healthy, person is not due to overwork of the mind or body, but comes from discontent, lack of int- erest, monotony, or some 'similar condition, and really means that the i, t red person has not learned how to• adapt himself in a happy way, tohis, work and his environment.
