The physician or- ders her to the country for a long rest. She rebels, but the doctor is hand•:=nae and sympathetic. She kerns that he is not the great man himself but an assistant, Dr. Rath- bone. "God made the country and :nen 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 - ___ ._, .,..... --w- it DR. G. H.

It scenss a pity — you . are too. good to, be wasted on 'that sort of thing,' as you call it. I wonder yob., 'don't think so too." * She said sullenly, but with flush- incheeks, "Only the other liar you told me you, doubted if I was 'worth trying to keep alive." "Did 1? Perhaps I've changed my mind. Is there anything else you want to say to me before I go?" "You're not going already?" "I think I'd better—before .I make you too angry." "I'm not angry," she said. "I like you, though nobody has ever been so—so brutal to me as you have.." "Isn't 'frank' a truer wad." "Perhaps — but sometimes frank- ness can be brutal." She was sitting up in bed, her chin resting on her hunched -up knees, her big eyes fixed on his face. "But I like you," she said ser- iously. "Whenever you come into the room it's like a breath of coun- try air." , He laughed, though he looked a little embarrassed, and took his !leave. CHAPTER IX Diana grew well with much great- er rapidity than either Rathbone or ning. a Ithe Creature had expected. But Dennis has not been gone any days before Diana finds her - If asking Miss Starling all sorts questions about Dr. Rathbone. OW GO ON WITH THE STORY "That depends what you mean by olishly. His wife won't divorce In a week's time she was getting up after her breakfast, dressing her- self, and spending long hours in the tiny garden of the little house.

"No, but I thought you rnigltt try to," She Said ingenuously. He went back to his old position of leaning on the bed rail, his hands loosely clasped together before him.

She had made friends with Jonas when he called -daily at the cottage with eggs' and cream, and she knew without. ,.any warning from IVLiss Starling that, lad though he . was, he was greatly attracted to her, .In a few years' time he would be a fine-looking man. She quite agreed with the Creature for once in her assertion that he was a very growni-up' seventeen. His face lit up when she spoke to him now. ' "I'nionly going over to the oth- er side -of the village," he said. "Well, take me," she urged again. He reached down a slender brown hand, which seemed somehow oddly' out of - keeping with his rough clothes and general appearance, and carefully helped Diana into the higllr, hard seat beside him., "Jonas," she- said, "do you know where Dr. Rathbone's house is,?" Jonas nodded. "Yes, I -know." Diana .turned an eager face to him. • "Let's go there," she said, should love , to see where he lives." The . lad hesitated. "It's more than five miles .away-. "But that's nothisfg ina trap like this." , • "I know ... but won't they miss you?" "1 daresay, but that doesn't mat ter." She laid her hand on -his arm. "Do let's go there,' 'she urged soft- ly. "It's such a lovely afternoon, and it's weeks since I was out by myself like this." He would have gone of the earth for her, knew it well, enough. , She felt quite happy and a little excited. The seat was rather hard, it is true, •and made her body ache a little, and the sun was getting hot on her " bare head but those were straight plot in front, with a it g clipped hedge that shut it out from the narrow lane. One day Miss Starling said, "I don't think it is altogether nice of you to encourage that boy so much. He already has ideas far above his station." to the ends and Diana trifles. At last he pointed across the hedge on the- right side of the road. "Dr. Rathbone's house is just over there," he said. "You'll see the chimneys in a minute through the trees." Diana was a little disappointed to find that Rathbone's house stood so far back from the road that even when they had driven round to the front of it one could only catch glimpses between the trees of pointed red gables and' queer • Jac °bean chimney pots. She stood up , in the little trap, her handl resting on Jonas' should- er, but even then, beyond splashes of vivid colouring here acid there in the garden, most of it effectively shut out by a high brick wall that had many trees and shrubs planted on its near side. She sat down again with a little disappointed sigh. Jonas .was pulling the trap to the side of the road to avoid a big car that had just at that moment carne round the bend. The road was not very wide at that point, and there was hardly room ,for • the two to pass in safety. . "How dangerous to drive` at that speed," Diana said, and at the saltie moment recognized Rathbone's car. She turned eagerly to look after it as with a wide sweep it pulled ,up to tate closed. gate. The back hood of the latutdaul- ette was down, and sitting there alone was a woman. Apparently a very young; woman with Titian -reel hair: Diana had only time to make out, talose two facts before the trap was round the bend and the ear hidden from view, "That was Dr. Rathbone's car," she said hi a small voice. "Was it?" Jonas was not inter- ested. "There was a woman in' it," said Diana. • "Was *there? It's the one who lives 'there, I expect." She looked up at hire. "I . thought Dr, Rathbone was a bachelor." "So' are is." She, frowned impatiently, "Then who is the woroan." she asked. Jonas shook his head. "I don't know, but I know she lives there." "What's her ,'tante?'" she said. "Miss Rosalie." "Rosalie what?" "I've forgotten," he said almost sul lrritly, "Only Rosalie?" Diana persisted, "Not Rosalie anything else? She rust. have another name!" "If' she has, I've never heard it." Neither of them spoke again till they were back in the village street once more. It was half -past five by the cborch clock the big bell chim- e), as they passed. There wasnobody, in the little garden when Jonas jumped down. and gave his hand to Diana. "You'll have to lift inc down," she said, "Pitt tired." Ile took her in his arms very. carefully, as if fearing to injure her, and set her 'down gently, on the path beside him, Diana said, "Thank you," and gave him a little senile that (.nick- ened his heartbeats. Miss Starling told her Dr. Rath- bone had called to bid her good- bye. rJ Diana was startled and insisted on sending Jenny over with a note ask - Mg him to call, marking her note "very urgent." SA' waited in her room, feeling` sure he would come. Presently she drifted off into a vague sleep of sheer exhaustion from ,which she was aroused by Miss' Starling's hand on her shoul- der. The room was nearly dark, lit on- ly by the pearly gray twilight, . "Dr. Rathbone is downstairs," the said. t CHAPTER X Diana started up, trembling', a lit- tle, and conscious of a -queer sensa- tion through "a11 her body, as if someone had poured healing balm onto' an intolerable pain. "Oh . . . please put on the` light and ask him to come up.;' "Dr. Rathbone says he is ' in a great hurry and could you come down?". ' She •went downstairs into the room; and shut the door behind her. Rathbone was standing by the table turning the pages of a maga- zine with impatient fingers. He threw it aside as Diana entered. "What boy?" Diana asked, though she knew perfectly well to whom the Creature referred. "The boy frorn the Meadow Paa'nr," Miss Starling explained. "Jonas, clnn't they call him? He is only a pupil to Mr. Sh:urey, learning farming like' any labourer." Diana, .latighed in frank amuse- ment, "But be's only seventeen, at .the mast," she objected, "Just a lad— and he amuses rite -goodness knows there are not many amusing people in the village, as far as I can see,,' "He is .a very grown -tip seven- teen," the Creature ' asserted firmly, "And if your aunt-" "11 niy aunt was in the least con - ct'rned about my health or my inor- tiis she would not have, gone off to Aix, as she has: done, without even bidding, ,-me a. fond ferewcll," Diana interrupted flippantly. She yawned, and got up from the deck chair, where she, .rad been lying, and went down to the gate. It would be fun to go down to the village and see what, sort of a place it really was. She opened the gate, hatless as she -was, and went, out into the .lane. Diana reached the end of the Tane and stood looking to right and left, uncertain which way to go, and it was at that moment that a light farm trap driven ' by a lad in. breeches and a loose shirt open at the neck turned • out of a gate close „Wel She - thought there was not 'quite the old friendly torte in his voice, or was that her imagination? Diana echoed, "Well?" and could think of nothing else to' say. She stood leaning against the door, , still trembling a little from her, sudden awakening from sleep. (Continued. Next Week) WHY DOES A. MAN FALL?{ Railway Safety Council Believes An- I swer' Will Help Prevent Accidents Why does a man fall, Although this question may have but an academic interest to the man in the street, to the Safety Council of the Canadian National Railways, organized for the purpose of reduc- ing the number of preventable' acci- dents, it is of vital. importance. As the result of detailed study ov- er the railway system at least a 'be ginning has been madetowards an- swering it. Statistics• show that in one branch of railroading for in- stance, that of Train Service, 52 per cent of all falling aceideuts are due to the failure of some individual to - take ,a. firm ?;rip .or ,'safe foothold; 30 per cent. are due to stumbling over ties, rails,. timbers, debris and material or into holes; and .only ap- proximately 1,8 per cent, to defect- ive equipment: r eft% Y L 5\ ea la Th :VS day, Gambian, bian, GRANT Fi.Efih1NG, J' I' April 21st, 1932 Sovice OP ';SME ot(irat Aso a*tun ma); .++ ASSOCIATE SECRETARY RICKETS . Rickets is •a very common dis- ease of infancy and early childhood which means that it occurs during, those years waren the body grows most rapidly, ' It . is usually during the 'first few months of life that rickets begins, At that time, unless it is ever'e, it is not likely to berecognized by parents. it is usually .later, when the weakness of the muscles and deformity of the bones are notice- able, that parents realize there is something wrong. Rickets is one of tate deficiency diseases. It occurs because there is some essential lacking in the diet-, Vitamin D, or the antirachitic, vita- min, Sunshine has the satire efefct as Vitamin D, so we may say that rickets is the result; of a lack of a certain food substance and sun- shine. . The antirachitic' vitamin: is found in abundance in cod liver oil, and is also present in egg -yolk. All bab- ies, whether they be ' fed naturally or artificially, should receive cod liver oil. Beginning towards the end of the first month with a few drops twice a day, ,theamount is quickly increased to one •teaspoonful three testedand found to contain the re- quired vitamin. The child who has rickets is us- ually irritable and restless. It will be noticed that his head perspires excessively, and that, when he is ly- ing down, he has a tendency to roll" his 'head from side to side on his' pillow. The ,disease may he slight or severe, and depending on the se- verity, will be noticed the protrud- ing abdomen, flabby muscles, en- largement of the joints, delay in tcethipg and in walking. If the condition is at all severe and is allowed to go untreated, the deformities of the bones will be- come permanent. This is particular- ly serious if the child is a girl, be- cause it may cause deformity of the pelvis which will lead to trouble when the time conies for her to be a mother. t or four times a day. During the summer, the dose may be, reduced. It is better to continue with small doses than to stop giving the oil altogether. If its use is :continued, the problem of starting again does not arise. p The reason why the dose can be decreased during the summer is be- cause, in, summer, the child can se- cure plenty of sunshine; which, as we stated, has the same effect upon his body as has' the vitamin D in cod liver oil. The cod liver oil which is used must be a brand -which has been Obviously the rightthing: to do. is to prevent rickets. This can be clone if cod liver oil is given in suf- ficient ,amounts and the child gets plenty of direct sunshine. ' Every child should spend part of every day out ofdoors. The proper houra to do so and, the question of cloth- ing depend upon the season of the year and the age of the child. The baby who is born in winter should not be placed out of doors until he has been .gradually accustomed to the outdoor air. The next best thing to prevention is early recog- nition and proper treatment. The - food and sunshine which prevent' rickets will also cure it. Rickets can be banished if we make use, of the knowledge we have concerning it. The responsibility rests upon the parents.
