Both realize that this is love, but Dr. Rathbone tells Diana that he can be no more than a friend, because of things in his life which 'he refuses to explain. He ur- ges her to go back to London. Dennis Waterman comes to the cottage to visit her, but she does not thrill at his presence as, she once did. She goes back to London, and arranges to meet Dennis in a private room at a restaurant. While she is waiting for hint Dennis' wife, Linda, comes in. Rathbone finds that he is deeply in love with Diana, but he -confesses to her that Rosalie is his wife.

How could people go on eating for such --hours! She almost said,• "Thank God," when at last the ordeal was ended. Rathbone would cone and talk to her now, she was sure; he would find some T e wayofshakingl h off al the oth- er people, and he would come to her. and he would say something that would stop this dreadful pain. He would know what she was suffering; perhaps he was suffering equally himself. IBut though she watched the door C .of the great unfriendly drawing room with strained eyes till the Wren be- gan to appear, Rathbone was not among theist.

Anna carne batk with the sleeping draught and Diana took it and al - lowed herself to be put to bed. "I'll be close by, if you want me," she said. Something in her tone of voice made Diana think suddenly of Miss Starling, ` and an almost childish longing for her and for the peace of her little room at the cottage awoke in her heart,.

Jonas asked, "No, I don't mean nothing of the sort, Hobson retorted angrily, "You can't get lost round about here, It's just the fog that makes it difficult to find her, If you see anything of her it 'ud be a kindness to let us know or to bring her back." "All right," Jonas said briefly. He had turned to go when Hobson call- ed to him again. "Look here," he said more confi- dentially.

Jonas shrugged his shoulders and obeyed. He did not really object to the fog, but he was in no snood to go. There was a dark spot in liis mind whenever he thought of Don- ald Rathbone. He . felt as if, during the past few weeks since he had first niet her she had unconsciously been giving him broken pieces of puzzle, which had slowly and farefully formed themselves into one, until this morn- ing, he suddenly realized that it was complete. And it was Rathbone's face that he saw in the finished pic- ture. The love Jonas felt for Diana was the kind of love which Dante had felt for Beatrice. He had been tent to love on his poet's dreams of her, asking nothing more for him- self than that he might be allowed to continue to dream. But that she should be unhappy was more than he could endure. It was nearly midday before Jonas reached Rathb,lne's.

The river! , . . It was a disagree- able thought on a morning like this. His invagination was deeply stirred. the river would be icy cold and full of dead weeds. ' It seemed to be getting dark al- ready, although it was not yet three o'clock; the grayness of the mist was deepening and intensifying, as if shmeone were blowing black smoke into it and the two weee slowly mingling together.

ASSOCIATE ECRETARY TUBERCULOSIS CAUSES TUBERCULOSIS' When anyone is told by his doc- tor that he has tuberuelosi.s, that Person and his 'friends naturally wonder where' he got the disease, We should all know where tubercu- losis comes from. because when •we know the source of a disease and its manner of spread, we should be able to control that disease to a consid- erable extent. The cause of tuberculosis is a germ known as the tubercaile bacil- lus. Tuberculosis cannot occur un- less this germ is present. There are conditions such as overcrowding which favor the spread of the germ from the sick to the well. There are conditions of the body, such as ov- erwork and fatigue, which give 'the germa better chance to cause dis- ease. None of the conditions which fav- our the germ can in themselves cause the ' disease, the germ is the one and only cause: This leads us then to consider .where the germ conies frons and how it is spread. The tubercle bacillus does not, as far as we know, live in nature out- side of the human or animal body. This means that the germs come from human beings or animals suff- ering from tuberculosis. The trans- fer must be fairly direct because sun- light and drying destroy the germs fairly quickly once they are outside the body. The important point to understand is that tuberculosis is spread by those who have the disease, wheth- er they know they have the disease or not. This means that tuberculo- xis causes t-uberculosis, Children suffer front a form of tuberculosis which they contract from the use of raw milk coming fruit). tuberculous cows. This form: of the disease can be and is put an end to just as soon' as milk is pas- teurized because the process of pas- teurization kills the the tubercle. bacillus. Most cases of human tubercu]osis- get the disease from other tubercu- lous htunans. Tremendous numbers of germs leave the body in the sputa um of those suffering from active tuberculosis. It is the transfer of this sputum, laden with the germs of tuberculosis, which account for the spread of the disease. The transfer may be direct as in - kissing or by coughs, sneezes or loud talking. It may be indirect as in the use of common eating and drinking utensils. In one way or an- other the sptum of the case reaches the mouth of a healthy person.,. The - more frequent and the more intim- ate the exposure, the greater the chance of spread and so the spread' commonly occurs in the family. The case who haslearned to take the necessary care to prevent the spread of his sputum is not a dan- ger to others. It is the ignorant or careless case that is responsible for the spread of most of the disease. Tuberculosis causes tuberculosis' — every new case comes from a previ- ous one.
