Q cuatEb4Y DORAw Co, 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 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 'under- 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 but 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. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Pauline was rly too ready to ob- ey. This headache fitted in nicely with her schdme of things. It seemed providential when, about half -past three, she peeped into Barbara's room and found her still fast asleep. She was all ready to meet Dennis —one of the doctors was bringing him home in his 'car, a man named Stbrnaway, with whom Dennis had shuck up a great friendship. It would be so wonderful to have hint at home again. The moments seemed to ,drag. Everything had gone perfectly, the house looked a picture, so Pauline thought with pride as she wandered about, finable to settle to anything. The little !maid came to her breath - le -sly. "Oh, please, madam, the fruit has- n't come for dinner, and it's early closing day. What shall we dor ,"Mistress and maid stared at each other aghast; then Pauline said firm- ly; 1 "I'll go round. to the shop myself. There's plenty of time before the master comes. :She went on her --er- rand with cheerful readiness, almost running down the garden path. It was the slamming of that gate that woke Barbara; she started up, conscious of having long overselpt, and glanced at the clock beside her bed—half-past three! "Heavens! What waste of a life- time." She bathed hurriedly, dressed and went downstairs; her headache had not gone, and she felt a little heavy and depressed. The little maid heard her in the hall and came from the kitchen. "Can I get you anything, madam? Mrs. O'Hara said I was to go up pre- sently and see if you were awake." "I'll have some tea, please," Bar- bara was at the door of the drawing room. "Why, what lovely flowers!" she said, "Are we expecting visi- tors?" The maid giggled. "The master,,madam! He's coming holnie1 It was to be a surprise, and ole, dear, I 'be- lieve there he is, and the mistress out Oh, dear, what will she say, not be- ing here to meet hint! 'It's long be- fore his time, too." She heard .Dennis's voice and the pleasant voice of another man. "No, I won't come in, thanks. You have seen enough of me during the last month, Some other time, Don't overdo it, now—good-bye." A moment, and Dennis wasin the hall: He did not look ill except that. he was thinner and walked with a stick. The little maid was greeting him excitedly. "I do hope you're better, sir. It's nice to see you home, I'm` sure:" "Thanks," Barbara waited for him to ask for Pauline. But he did not—he care across the hall •unassisted, slowly and with some difficulty; then he saw her. Barbara went forward coolly. "Wel come home,'' she said. She gave him her hand. "Pauline will be discon- solate. She has just run out for a moment. Oughtn't you to sit down? There's 'a fire in the drawing room." "Thanks." Dennis's voice was ra- ther grim, but he gave his coat to the maid and followed Barbara into the drawing room. When he was safely ensconced in the armchair he looked up at her, • "You came off better than I did,". he said. "Is that wrist a memento?" "Yes, but only a sprain," Barbara waved her bandaged wrist in the air. tificially; reddened, and felt ashamed. Thank, God, Pauline never made her face up—no rouged cheeks and dark- ened eyes. Almost angrily he con- trasted the two women. Pauline with her simplicity and wholehearted de- votion to himself, her interest and happiness" in the small things •of life, her pride 'in her home, 'her loyalty and sweetness --and then Barbara Stark! A woman of the world, spoiled and insincere, a poseuse who had been taught by an unhappy experience, no doubt brought about by herself, that life was a bitter jest and that faith- fulness and loyalty were noexistent. And yet once—just for a moment had seen a glimpse of the real wom an hidden beneath all the veneer of artificiality; - or had that been the sham and this the real woman who stood before hins now, cool, unruffled almost insolent in her self-possession. "Oh, my dear—Dennis —Dennis— speak Dennis—speak to me." Perhaps he :'had dreamed those words, perhaps they had been the conjuring of a semiconscious mind, founded on the thing ` that Pauline had told him—"She does love some- one--firghtfully!" Was he the poor devil, then --or the lucky man? It all depended so much upon which way one looked at the question. Dennis O'Hara sighed restlessly ix sr� .tv .:•ti`s :.::,,.::.a ...can. . , ^.fi✓!i,.y �: .:. - .^.:tiltii•'...^`�J.rh �:: �.*.9:ei` iX�3^ .t:Y, �r "Was it a dream that she 7- :;1 him and implored him to speak to her? Looking at her es,/..,, ./as sure it must have been." Itoshow what little damage had been done. "Will you have tea, or shall we wait for Pauline?" "How long will she be?" "Not long." I think she has gone tothe shops for something they for- got to seen," 'Why didn't you go with her?:' "What do you mean?" "Orily that as you refused so stead- ily to cone and see me all these weeks 1 thought I should probably find you had run away." Barbara laughed lightly. "You would have done, if you had come to -morrow, as you originally intend- ed." , "You did not want to meet enc?" "Oh, no. I merely had a previous engagment" Dennis's eyes darkened. He had thought about this woman more than he cared to remember during the past tedious weeps, and he had looked for ward to seeing her with a queer sort of pleasurable .anticipation, Was it in a dream that she .had kissed him and imposed him to speak to her? Looking at her now he was sure it must have been, But the memory of her lips on his was real enough. Dennis looked at Barbara's lips, ar- , and shifted his stiff leg, He wished. 'with all his heart that Barbara had gone away before he came home. She was an irritating, disturbing influen- ce. "Oh, Dennis—darling!" Pauline burst into the room like a whirlwind and flung herself on her knee beside him. "And I wasn't hese to meet you! Oh, what a shame Does your leg hurt very much? Oh, it is lovely to see you back home." Her arms were round his neck,and she was kissing him rapturously; ev- en his coat came in for a share of attention. "Steady—my dear child!" Dennis. glanced over his wife's head to wherel Barbara stood,, but she had calmly, turnedand walked out of the room. He gently put his wife from him. "You'll have the maid 'in the room :inl a minute," he protested. She sat back on het heels and look- ed at Maim with dancing eyes, "Aren't you glad to be home? Isn't it wonderful? Oh, Dennis, I could go mad' with joys. I 'shouldn't do that, if I were you, rte said comically. He took her hand and pressed it. "Of course I'm glad to be home. Storaway brought me in his car. I asked him in, but he wouldn't come," "'Wise man! ,I suppose he guessed we should like to be •alone, as it's so long since you were here," Dennis dragged himself to his feet. "Confound any leg! Wonder how long it will be before I can walk de- cently. By the xray, Mrs .Stark tells me she is clearing off to -morrow." • ' "Yes, I wanted her to stay,' but perhaps it's as' well—I shall have you all to myself." She , snatched his hand and kissed it, "Baby!" Dennis said, smiling. "And what about tea?" "It's coming now. 1'11 go and see." Pauline rushed away, and Dennis limped over to the window and look- ed out at the little garden, Very tidy and neat, very suburban, he thought, and wondered why it had never struck him in that light before, Life was inclined to be hum- drum—at least, his life was! Outside in the hall ,he heard Paul- ine's • happy' laugh, and checked his •wandering thoughts with a firm hand. "Ungrateful devil!" he apostrophiz- ed himself and turned to greet her a she came in. What more could' on desire in a *He? She ` . was lovin and pretty and charming, and yet-- "Dotighnuts for tea! she : sai gaily. "You see I remembered ho fond you pare of them." Dennis allowed her to instal hi in a corner of the couch, submittin with a good grace to be kissed be fore she gave him his tea, "Where's Barbara?" he asked. "She's just coming in. I think sh thought we might like to have a lit tie; while alone" Pauline said. "Oh!" Dennis frowned. He wish ed he could cure Pauline of her sen timent. Barbara came into the room. "DoI intrude? I'm just dying fo tea. No, Blease don't get ' up, Mr O'Hara." "Why don't you call him Dennis?' Pauline asked. `"Mr. O'Hara' seem so silly and informal:" "Well, if he doesn't mind," Bar- bara said with a charming smile. "Delighted,"' Dennis mumbled, "No ' doughnuts for me," Barbar said. "I have to consider my figure.' "Barbie! when you're as slim as a willow;" Pauline protested. - "Oh, clear—what is it?"—for the little maid had appeared at the door. "Very well, I'll come." She put down her cup and left the room, "Domestic cares, you see!" she said archly to Dennis. There was a little silence when she had gone. s e g d w in g e r • s a Dennis spoke suddenly. "Ae you really afraid that one doughnut will spoil your figure?" Barbara laughed. "Not one, but one imight be the thin end of the wedge to other things' that would." He frowned. "Such nonsense! You've got a beautifulfigure." What the devil had remade hint say that? "I beg your pardon," he mut- tered sullenly: "Not at all." Barbara's voice was quite serene. "It's a great achieve- ment to have extracted a compliment from you.' "The truth is not a compliment" "I think it is from you." "Many thanks," Dennis said grim- ly, "By the way, I feel that I ought to apologize for smashing you up," "Sinashing yourself up, you mean." "Well, you hurt your wrist. Is it. better?" • "Nearly well, thanks. I've had a massage. 'It's been a very small in- convenience. I'm an idle person, you see, with nothing to do," "Better for you if you had." She looked at him with wide eyes. "Oh, why?" she asked. He met her gaze squarely. "It would keep you out of mischief." (Continued Next Week), NOTES ON' FEEDING HOGS The Swine Division of the Domin- ion Department of Agriculture re commend the following points as valuable in hog feeding: Grind all grain. Fine grinding is I7aroWOFF . OLD! Some men and women fight colds all winter long. Others enjoy the protection of Aspirin, A 'tablet in time, and. the first symptoms of a cold get no further. If a cold has caught you unaware, keep on with Aspirin' until the cold is 'gone: Aspirin can't harna you. It does not depress the heart. If your throat is sore, dissolve several tablets in water and gargle.' You will get instant relief. There's danger in a cold that hangs on for days: To say not icing of the pain and discomfort Aspirin might have spared you! All druggists; with proven directions for colds, headaches, neuralgia, neuritis, rheumatism. ASPIRIN TRADE -MARK REG. IN CANADA recommended especially ' for young pigs. Soak meal mixture between meals; do not use too much water but feed: as a relatively thick slop. While there are many different methodsoffeeding hogs the use of a good tight trough is safe and re-, duces wastage. Fresh, clean water should be pro- vided between meals. Pigs should be fed . three' times a day for at least one to two weeks after weaning; two feeds daily then will be sufficient. Growing pigs are very fond of and can make excellent use of green feed. For winter feeding pigs; relish a little fibrous matter to chew and they need it regularly. Give the se- cond cut of clover or alfalfa or any well -cured grass or cereal crop, that has been cut green. The desirable effects of feeding a little mangels daily are too well- known to need further comment. The important thing is to see that all the pigs, except the very young, get some form of vegetable matter reg- ularly. Pigs that do not have access, to earth should have a box of it in their pens. This is as cheap as it is desirable and will be consumed spar- ingly but regularly, Laying up a supply of sods in the fall ,provides a good mineral supplement for win- ter fed pigs. Make your feeding count with a balanced ration. Where tnillc in some form is not available feed tankage as a protein' supplement. A HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN: MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA BANISH DIPHTHERIA! Everyone, particularly parents, tries to protect the lives of children. Sometiines, drivers of motor cars ap- pear to forget their responsibility in this respeet, but we do, in general, seek to safeguard our children and to give them: a fair chance in life. We rejoice that the rights of our. children are respected. We derive a great deal of satisfaction from the fact that our children are today more free from disease, and that they en- joy better health than did the child- ren of previous generations. Among other things, past genera- tions feared the disease known as diphtheria. In the past, many par- ents arents have. watched ' their children fight a Iosing battle against this dis- ease.' Otherparents have seen their little ones live through the attack, but remaining with bodies weakened and often crippled by serious perma- nent damage. How thankful we should be that this dread disease which destroyed or scarred its vicitims need no long- er be feared. What a victory it is for us to have found the means whereby this disease may be banish- ed from our midst. Diphtheria germs produce a toxin or poison. For. some years, we have had in diphtheria antitoxin, an efefc- tive means with which to counteract the toxin. The antitoxin has to be given early in the course of the dis- disease—on the first day—if it is to be one hundred pel cent. effective. Deaths from diphtheria' continued to occur despite the fact that there is this curative agent, because, for one reason or another, there was de- lay in giving the antitoxin. It is, of course, a wonderful thing to have a substance such as antitoxin, How- ever, even though it may be used early and the patient cured, yet there is, at, best, a certain amount of suf- fering, loss of time from school or work, and expense on account, of the illness. How fortunate we are today, then, to have a safe and reliable means to prevent diphtheria. $y injecting a harmless substance, diphtheria tox- oid, it is now possible to build up in the child thus injected a lasting 're- sistance to diphtheria, Just as antitoxin is of little or no. value if it is used too late; so is toxoid of no value unless it is used in time : to- secure protection before there has beenexposure to the dis- The time to secure protection is now. Any child one year of age or older who is hot protected against diphtheria should be given '`toxoid wthout delay. Questions concerning Health, ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical As- sociation, 184 College St, Toronto, will be answered personally by let- ter.
