THE WINGHAM AD VAN CE -TIMES SYNOPSIS At' twenty-two the only 'thing Diana really desired was another wo- man's husband, A nervous wreck from the excitement and strain of London's gay life, she is taken by her aunt, Mrs. Gladwyn, to a famous specialist's office. The physician or- ders her to the country' for a long rest, She rebels, but the. doctor is handsome and sympathetic. She karns that he is not the great man himself but an assistant, Dr. Rath- bone. "God made the country and than made the town," he tells her, and she agrees to go to a rural re- treat. Before she leaves she goes to Den- nis Waterman's flat, where they are surprised by Linda, Dennis's wife, who takes the situation quite calmly. "I suppose she wants you to marry her?" she asks Dennis. At the night club where she goes with' Dennis, Diana collapses. She regains consciousness in a little coun- try cottage, with a nurse, Miss Star- ling, bending over her. Dr. Rath - bone's home was close by, Miss Star- ling told her. After three weeks Dennis Water- man calls. He tells her he will have to go away, and his manner, .as he leaves her, suggests that his love is waning. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY An then Miss Starling came home and, scared half out of her wits, Jenny told her part of the truth— that there had been a gentleman to see Miss Diana, and that ever since he went away she had been like this, crying and sobbing, and would not be quiet. "I told you nobody was to be al- lowed in," the Creature said in cold anger. "However, the mischief is done. Stop howling and go over to 3.11+.:1'.. stung, but now, as he looked at her deathly face and obstinately closed Pips; he. wondered. He said quietly; "Open your eyes please, and listen to what I have to say.,, To his surprise she obeyed at once. "If you are going to lecture me -" she began; and he interrupted ruthlessly: "That is exactly what I am going to do. If you had obeyed my orders and behaved like a sensible .girl in- stead of like a silly, wilful child, by this time you would have been well on the road to recovery, but as it is, by your folly this afternoon you have put yourself back considerably, and .,believe me—no • marl in this world is worth it, • She said breathlessly: "You don't know anything about it." "Aird I don't wish to," he said. "But I give you warning now that unless you give me your word of honor that in future you will do ex- actly as I have told you .I shall. write to Mrs. Gladwyn and tell her I must give up , the case. I have dozens of really sick people on my hands without wasting valuable time on one who could soon be well and strong if she wished. Do you un- derstand?" She said with trembling lips: "You are not very kind. I shall die if you give inc up." "Very well, then, •there is to be no more nonsense." . a "No," she whispered. "And you will go to sleep and be- lieve that everything will come out right in the end. It so often does, you know." "Not for me." "Well, we shall see." He bent ov- er her, feeling her pulse once more. Her eyes had" closed as if the lids were too heavy to control, and he "That was Dr. Rathbone's car ...There was a woman in it." � - 7 Dr. Rathbone's. It he is not there, and I am sure he will riot be, leave a message and ask him to tome ov- er as soon as possible, .Stop howI- ing, do you hear?" Jenny fled, with the sound of Diana's bitter sobbing singing in her ears like the cry of a lost soul, "Dennis . . Dennis , , Dennis .." It was late 'before Rathbone came over to the cottage. He walked into Diana's room and stood looking down at her. She was lying• on her back, one thin arm flung onto the 'pillow ab- ove her head, her eyes staring up at the ceiling. ' Rathbone spoke her name in a quiet voice? and her gaze wandered down to the level of his face and rested :there. "Well," he said with a smile, "and what have .you been doing to, your- self?" "Nothing," she said stonily. "It's what people do to mases" . "Oh, it's` like that, is it"" He sat down .beside her and took her hand-7her ptilse was terribly weak. After:,,a . monient he laid it gently down on time quilt. "Have you been asleep?" "I hada draught. I didn't want it,' but she made' tnc." She shot a look of bitter enmity at the Creat- nre.. "That was quite right," Rathbone said. He spoke to the Creature. "1 will come down in a mo he said, dismissing her, She went away, • and Rathbone stood looking at Diana. He hal trierely 'tried to rouse her when he had suggested that perhaps she was not worth saving He inn- dcrstood her well enough to know how her pride and interest would be waited for a moment, a gleam, of anxiety in his eyes, but she did not stir, and he went quietly from the room, "My aunt wants to take ere to Aix," Diana told, Miss Starling the next morning, as: soon as she had opened a letter that had arrived by the early post. The Creature . raised her brows. "Oh, indeed. We must see what Dr. Rathbone has to say about it." "He's said it already: he said I wasn't fit for the journey. I hate Aix, anyway; people there think of nothing but illness. We went t;nce; last year, I think` it was. I was bor- ed to death.,, The Creature smiled, "1 have yet to ;hear you say that you have thoroughly enjoyed your- self anywhere," she said, Diana' 'considered the point. "Well, I don't know that I ever have," ;she admitted, 'You .look for.. ward to e thing; and then when it canes .it's clisanpahitin g." • "Half the pleasure of life is in looking forward to • things," Miss Starling said, carefully folding one of Diana's silken garments, - "What do you look forward to?" Diana asked, "Some day I hope to go to Nor- mendy, but it's more than x. can af- ford at present?" "How much 'would it dost?" :Miss Starling Hesitated. t."t should drink every penny of twenty pounds," she said at last. "That would be if I stayed a. fort,- -light, of course." 'Twenty pounds! Not so melt as Diana often gave for one cif her frocks. "Why Normandy?" she asked, "Italy ismidi tore.learitifttl;" "Normandy has •'associations ;for ,,i11111111 .,,10* Tha rs,day, Aphis 14th, 1932 me," the Creature said quietly, "I. have never been there, but a great friend of mine is buried there, and. I have alway's promised myself that some clay I will go and see his grave." "Oh — the man you told : me about?" . "Yes, the man T told you about." "How did he die?" "He was drowned, saving the life of a little boy." "That 'was brave of him." "He was brave—the braves I ever knew." There was a little silence. "That's the kind of thing Dr. Rathbone woulddo," Diana said thoughtfully. She felt a little • sur- prised that the Creature should prove to be so human. ."Gide his life for somebody, I mean." "Dr. Rathbone won the Military Cross in the war," Miss Starling said •unemotionally. Diana ' was silent for a moment; then she said, "I wonder he has ne- ver married." "We can't all marry, and it isn't the only thing in life." • "It must be lonely for hini." "I think he is too busy a man' to trouble about loneliness." "All the same," Diana said obstin- ately, "I wonder some woman hasn't managed to catch him." "To catch 'him.. . What do you mean?P "Marry him. I suppose he's quite rich." "Hasn't he got a sister, or a neice or anyone who ever stays with him?'; Diana persisted. "I have .,never tried to discover. It is not my business." "I think you must try and get a little nap before you have your sup - pc -r," Miss Starling said practically. "I can't sleep to order," was Diana's fretful reply. "You can try," the Creature in- sisted. "An,d if Dr. Rathbone comes, wake me—even if I am alseep," was Diana's parting shot. It 'would be so like the creature to insist that she was not to be disturbed. But. Rathbone did not come, al though Diana lay awake for a long time listening for the sound of his ,J car clown the lane. He alteays .sounded the horn when he turned from the main ' road, and she had grown to know and recognize it. CHAPTER VIII 'pian The doctor came on the Saturday afternoon in the middle of a thun- derstorm. -Diana had been busy thinking about :Dennis,' who had, cabled that he had arrived in New York. She was torn ' with her . emotions at. knowing he nrasw ith Linda. 'lie noise of the thunder had drowned the ,little sounds of Rath - bone's arrival, and when . he spoke to her she looked up, her face drenched in tears. "Olt .... Dr. Rathbone .."' She would have been less pleased to see an angel from heaven. 'In her eagerness she threw the bed cover- ingsfrom her and sprang up to greet him. "Oh, I'm so glad you've come." He laughed and took her hand. - "Glad! Do you always cry when you're' glad?" he . said. He strode across the room and pulled the win- dow down. The rain was costing in'. and had made a little pool :on. the floor. "Get back to bed and cover your- self tip," he ordered. `lYou'll take cold." He looked at her whimsically. ''And what were the tears for?" he asked. • She brushed them away; with her bare hands' as a child night have. done. "I think I was miserable, 1 'thought you were never coming again, Tt seems so long since I saw ya11," "Yes," he agreed, "It does scent a long. tithe." Then they were both silent for a'moment,looking at one: another, "Why haven't you ' been all the week?" "For one thing, I've been busy, and for another,, I though ,you could do without Inc." ; ',Wei," Diana ,sant impulsively, "now' you know I, can't.... acid that's all about it." Then again they were silent, Sook- ing steadily at one another, while the thunder rolled overhead shaking the stoat walls of the little house. He .turned sharply away and• stood' for a moment' staring out at the pouring rain, his big shoulders almost blocking out the window. Then he said, in a matter-of-fact voice: "I think you might get tip to- morrow and have your• lunch down- stairs. You must be tired of this. roost. A change will do You good;. if you don't 'overdo it." He turned round again, "By the way, any vis- itors this week?" "No." In spite of herself, Diana felt she was flushing. ' She thought that what he really: wished to dis- cover was whether Dennis had been again, She said a trifle impatiently,. "I don't think people are very :fond of visiting you when you're ill." "You can have anyone you like now, if they don't stay too„ long,” he told her. "It would cheer you up to see some of your friends.'' 'What friends?" she asked wear- ily. "You must have .dozens." She shrugged her slim shoulders.. "Nobody I really care about—no girls, at least," "A man, then," he suggested half j okingl.y. Diana was plucking the quilt to- gether with nervous fingers. She was quite sure now that he was try- ing to discover something about) Dennis, and with sudden bravado, she lifted her head and looked at' hint. "He is in America." "He." It was with chagrin that Diana realized that Rathbone had forgotten all about Waterman and that he was genuinely mystified to know to whom she referred. She said defiantly, "The man who came here -before I was so . ill again., "Oh .. •. I see. Then perhaps it is as wellhe is in America," he said significantly. The tone of his voice angered' her, he was treating her 'like a child. "I shall never love anyone else," she said; her 'voice taking a higher pitch of excitement: "No matter what anyone. says." She paused breathlessly, but he made no coni - intent, and she went on in the sante way: "Aunt Gladwyn says it's inde- cent to love a married man; she says the modern girl •is indecent. I sup- pose you think so too." He ignored her last words. He said gravely: "The fact that a' 'man is married cannot prevent a woman from lov- ing him, but it should prevent her— prevent them both—from behaving foolishly." (Continued Next Week.) "My husband is merely a manu- facturer of wastebaskets," sighed a woman , with aspirations. "It seems such a prosy occupation. "On the contrary there is really much poetry in 'the wastebasket," replied the unappreciated bard. Wife: "Did you notice the chin- chilla coat on the woman sitting in front of us, at church this morning?" 'H rbby: "Er—no. .Afraid I was dozing most of the time." Wife: "Uin! A lot of good the service did you!" "Uncle Robert, when does your football team play?" "Football team. What do you mean, any boy?" "Why, I heard father say that, when you kicked off we'd be able to afford a big. automobile." "Tommy, you have no good ex- cuse for staying : away• from school yesterday." "Wel, it ain't my fault," "It isn't? Why?" 'Cause 1 done my best to think'. of a good one," ealth Service 6attabiatt OF TIRE edtrtt , .O pa at tint Edtmd'by GRANT'p.gMtrio, M.p. M+ lgssocr4TE: socarrAr!y GOITRE In the front of the neck is situat- ed the thyroid gland. ' This 'partic- ular organ belongs to the group of glands which produce a secretion that is passed directly into the blood stream, and which are known as the glands of internal secretion. The thyroid is an important gland, and serious disorders occur if the gland produces too much or too little of its secretion, The most common change which takes place is an enlargement of the gland, described as "simple goitre." This condition . is apparently the re- sult of insufficient `iodine in either the food or the water, or in both. It occurs most frequently during adolescence, and is more prevalent in certain localities than in others. Simple goitre is readily cured pro vided the patient is placed under treatment when the swelling is first noticed. Iodine given in the proper quantities' will prevent simple goitre but it should be taken according to the directions of a physician. It is necessary to warn against theindiscriminate use of iodine. The success' which has followed the nse. of iodine in preventingsimple goitre has led many to believe that iodine will cure or aid all forms of thyroid disease. This is a mistaken idea and it has resulted in a great deal of harm. There are conditions other than simple goitre in which the thyroid gland is enlarged. The use of iodine in such cases is not to be considered unless the patient is under observ- ation by a physician.:Iodine is a substance with which we are fam- iliar and we have :become accustom ed to applying it freely to breaks in our skin; however, we 'should not fail to 'understand that it. is not to be taken l internally, as treatment, unless prescribed. The progress 'which has been, made in treating goitre is one of the, real achievements of modern medi- cine. Successful treatment is, in_ many cases, made difficult 'ron' ac- count of the use' of iodine, in an in- judicious manner, by the patient be- fore coming for treatment. When there is enlargement of the - thyroid gland, there is only one safe- - course to pursue; : and :that is fo .find' out what form of enlargement it is —as there are several forms of goi- tre—and then have proper treatment prescribed. This note of warning against the self -prescribed internal use of iodine as a means of treating all goitre is necessary because iodine `is being so used and the : practice is causing much needless suffering and harm.
