"I don't know if it will last or
not he said. "But I know I can't
live without bey, She's got into my
blood. I was little more than a
boy when I thought I loved y
Anne, we were just a couple of
children playing at being in love.
This feeling I have for Celia is the
real thing—the only love I shall ever
feel for anyone—"
"Oh, stop, Dudley—have a little
pity," Anne cried brokenly. 'You
might leave me my memories at
least. Don't try to make me be-
lieve you never loved ma Leave
me some shred of self-respect''
And she began to sob very bitterly.
"Wby does a woman harp on the

lp. "Lt's futile, The past is over

me any scenes. I have been truth-
ful with you, and you don't like it.
First, you reproach me with de•
ceiving you and then when I tell
you ,the true facts you don't like
them either. It's not my fault
that Celiais so attractive—not my
fault that I love her. It's fate
Pull yourself together and let's
make the best of things."
Anne arose with what remnants of
dignity she could muster.
A spark of indignation against
this man whom she had so deeply
loved, smouldered in her breast. It
helped her to regain control of her-
self. She said quietly—
"I'll go away at once, Dudley. If I
am to institute divorce proceedings
it won't do for me to remain here.
I will go to Christine Murray's, she
will take me in, and advise me as tc
a lawyer. As far as I am concern-
ed you shall have your freedom."

"What has to be done had better be
done at once, it's silly to prolong
the ayony. I'rn sorry and all that,
Anne. I daresay we shall be ablo
to be friends when It's all safely
over."
"Good-bye," .she said, taking a las:
look at him, as he stood so strong
and self-satisfied and unmoved. She
had given him everything she had
to give, and this yas the end.
"Chi--er—Goodbye,'' be. returned.

moving in a trance, went to her bed-

CHAPTER III,
The End of tilde Wood.
Christine demanded no explana-
tion and asked for no recital of
Anne's wrongs. She received her
with that warm attitude of frie•nd-
shi{p which Anne had known
could look for.
Nothing could have exceeded the
older woman's tactful sympathy to-
wards the unwanted wife. She
spared no effort to take Anne out
of herself, did not allow her to
dwell upon the past, woud not dis-
cuss Dudley or let Anne fall into a
state of despondency.,
She took her to theatres and cine-
mas• an ddinners, for river -trips and
acreplane ascent, Finally she, en-
listed her aid in typing some scripts
for her, feeling that in work lay the
girl's chances of happiness.
After the preilminary interviews
with the lawyers Anne filed her
petition, She sale and heard
nothing of Dudley, though sbe
knew he had placed a sum of
money to her credit in the bank.
She supposed, without much suffer-
ing, that he was now living almost
entirely with Celia Carnock,
As the days passed, she realised
that she had gone through the
wont agony when she had suspected
the truth. No recurrence of that
storm of anguish came to her, only
a settled sadness, a stunned realisa-
tion of the man Dudley really wa•a.
The burning jealousy she had felt
Story 2
of Celia had gone, she experienced
towards both only contempt.
One afternoon, when Chris was
busy with her latest novel, a visitor
was announced.
"A lady to see you. madam," said
the maid.
To say Anne was startled gives
small description of ber feelings
when Ce1ia's sinuous form swept
into the room, to the accompaniment
of the very latest perfume and a
rustle of silk.
Anne was outraged. She rose
with a face gone white with indig-
nation and confronted the other
with hostile eyes.
But Celia was in no way abashed
She was looking almost Insulting/1
beautiful In her exquisite afternoon
frock of amber silk, with a profus-
ion of frills round throat and
wrists and hem, A large hat shad-
ed' her elaborately made-up face,
her hair lay in silky rolls upon her
white neck, pearls encircled her
round throat. She made the most
beautiful picture imaginable as, she
stood in the fashionable, drooping
attitude of the day, before the wo.
man she had supplanted.
"I've come to tell you not to make
a fool of yourself," she pronounced
abruptly, not troubling to adopt any
outward airs and graces now no man
was present. "What is all this about
divorcing Dudley You don't sage
pose I want to marry him, do you?"
"Don't you?" Anne 'demanded
taken aback by the insolence,
Celia laughed disagreeably,
"Marry Dudley," she mocked.
"My good girl, are you mad? You
don't imagine I am going to tie my.
self to a young man who had one
successful play produced and may
never have another. He may be berp
pleasant as a lover—in fact be is,
but I have no use for doormats ex-
cept to wipe my shoes on. He's just
site a doormat. But let that pass.
What annoys me is, you have the
impertinence to suppose I want
him. I don't. Have these ridicu-
olus proceedings stopped at once."
"But Dudley asked me to start
them," Anne replied, still quite non-
plussed by the shameless attitude.
Celia laughed,.
"I have just come away from him,"
sbe declared, "I think you will find
him disillusioned of thhese fantastic
ideas. I'in furious. about the whole
thing, An amusing intrigue is one
thing, to be dragged into a divorce
case is, quite another."
Anne looked at Celia with scorn•
ful disdain,
"I will refrain from comment upon
your behtabiour," she said Jelly, "Be
cause all decency would be loot
upon you. Your outrageous conduct
in coming to see me I will no:
tolerate, however. You will go, or
I will have 11'Iiss Murray send for
someone to eject you."
Celia. raised her thin brows, half
in amusement, half in disdain,
"My good girl, don't go in for
melodrama," she begged, "I don't
wish to stay. You always bored 100
to tears and I don't wonder Dudley
wanted to escape from your Sunday -
school atmosphere. I just came to
tell you to stop that stupid action
as Pve finished with your husband.
You can have him back,"
"I bave no intention of altering
nen mind," Anne declared with white
lips. "I will ring to have you
shown out, she added quietly.
"This would make quite a good
seene on the screen," Celia retorted
with an amused laugh as she gash-
ed through the opened door. A wave
of seductive perfume emanated from
her as she went by, and Anne; first
rushing to press the bell, went and
threw the window wide.
She could not breathe in the at-
moePhere—she left suffocating, the
insult of the whole interview affect-
ed her physically,

CONSIDER BEFORE
REMOVING TONSILS
There is substantial evidence that
in about 20 per cent of children
the tonsils are either enlarged or
diseased and therefore have an un-
favourable influence en the physic-
al development of the child. Such
tensile should be removed, says the
Health League of Canada.
The toirsils have assumed an im
portant role in the economy of the
child during the last 30 years. The
beneficial results following remov-
al of tonsils in selected cases has
well justified the procedure.
It has been shown that marketly
hypertrophied tonsils and tonsils
that are reepatedly inflamed, giviup
rise to attacks of tonsilitis and
swollen neck glands, frequently im-
pair the physical development
When suck a condition exists after
four years of age it is advisable to
have the tonsils removed, with the
expectation that at least 50 per
cent of children so treated will be
materially improved.
Take Out Diseased: Ones
It is undeniable that the child
population of the country has ex-
perienced better physical develop-
ment with few+ interruptions' due
to mild and prolonged illness In
the last 30 years, Infant mortality
has been reduced and fatal illness
i nbhe school age occurs less often.
While the wide -spread application
of public health procedures: such
as pasteurization of milk, the safe-
guarding of water supplies and care
of foods, and tate health education
of the public has had the most in-
fluence in this direction, it must
be admitted that eradication of un•
healthy tonsils has played. a con-
siderable role in the physical Me
provement of the race.
The single question to be deter-
mined in respect to the tonsils of
a child is: Are these tonsils dis-
eased? If so, they should promptly
be removed.
'When your Ugh -covered hog -skin
gloves look past their prime, make
them into a new pair of brown or
black kid glvoes; Buy a bottle of
shoe dye, put the gloves on your
hands and paint Them with the little
brush attached to the bottle, paving
special , attention to the seams (if
you don'•t put the gloves on yiur
bands the seams will show up white
later). One bo.tle will do for
several pairs of gloves and really
makes them look like new.

FARM NOTES
MANY SCIENCES
IN AGRICULTURE
Dealing with scientific and indus-
trial research in Oanade, the 1940
Canada Year Book says with refee-
ence to the Dominion . Department
of Agriculture that since the begin-'
ning of the 20th century there has
been a reerarkalble change in the
relation of the farmer to the
fields; the fanner has brought his
problems to the laboratory.
20th Century Changes
'.here is no one science of agri-
culture; it is made up of arany
science. The tillage and fertility
of soils, the growth and protec-
tion of plants, the feeding and care
of animal% and the • proce,ssing of
farm products into human food and
clothing present problemsthat the
research worker "solves by refer-
ence to the laws of a soore of sc'en-
ces. Because of the great diversity
of effort required in reaching a
practical solution, research on
many problems le not limited to,
any one unit of the Dominion 'De-
partment of Agriculture. The major
part of the research work, how-
ever, is conducted in the Divisions
of the Science Service and the
Experimental Farms Service. Units
of these two services art located
in every province. The research
work of the Department is co-ordin-
ated with that of the agricultural
colleges 'and the National Reaearch
Council, and there is an inter-
change of personnel and facilities
wherever the work will be benefited.
