She rebels, but -the doctor is hancl'"nne and sympathetic, She hiarns that he is not the great man himself but an assistant; Dr. Rath- bone. "God Made the country and roan made the town," ho tells her, and she agrees to go to a rural re- treat, Before she leaves she goes to Den- nis Waternian'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, bliss Star- ling told her. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY There was e little sound out in the road. A big car had drawn noiselessly op to the gate, and a man was getting out, A big man with. a very unprofes- sional appearance— Rathbone. Diana made another effort to rise. He would be so angry with her. She heard his step on the path, then his vcice talking to the maid. "Oh, well I'll go up—" then his step on the stairs. The Creature was not there, of course.,. and now he would be angry to find her out of bed. Not that she cared if he was angry: he was well paid to look after her, He ought to have sent word that he would be coming. Diana was trembling from head to foot as she clung to the win- dow sill her face turned to the door. "I think you're going to be a very. wise little girl and get well very quickly." "I'in so tired of lying here," He looked at her consideringiy. "Verywell, I'll make another bar- gain with you. If you'll do as you're told—no getting out of bed or refus- ing to eat -when I come . again I'll take you a little ride in my car." "When will you come agian?" she asked distrustfully. He laughed. ' 1'o -day is, Wednesday —shall we say, Saturday," "Will you promise?" "On my sacred word of honour." He stood up. "No more tears, mind." „No." He held out his hand. "Good-bye, for a little while." "You will corse on Saturday?"' "Yes" Diana gave a sigh. "Thank you very touch." It was the first time she had really been polite to him. The Creature was a little skeptical about that promised Saturday drive: at least, she looked it, although she was too hatefully tactful (so. Diana thought) to say anything. "You will have to see how much you can improve during the next three days," was his only comment Diana knew quite well what she was thinking, and it made her all the• more determined to be wellenough to go with Rathbone. She made no More trouble about taking her food or medicine, and did Everything she was told almost be- fore she was told. On Thursday site received a letter from Dennis, telling her he had found out through Anna where she was and asking if she could see him She forgot all about their last quar- rel and told him to call some after- noon, when Miss Starling would be out. On Saturday . Rathhone caste at three o'clock. Diana heard his car come up to the gate, and her eyes grew bright with excitement. She was well enough now to feel 'that she was about to be taken out She made no more trouble about taking her medicine. Rathbone came in ... he gave one glance at the bed before he saw her, and she broke out tearfully, "I was so tired of bed—1 wanted to see what was outside ,,. and I can't get back." He crossed the room in a stride and picked her tip as if she had been a child, depositing her in bed and. pulling the clothes over her. "How long have ycm been; there?" "{Only just before you came," "I told yoti to stay in bed. I told. Miss Starling---" "She', gone out ... she inttst go out sometimes," she added resentfully, fn- once defending the Creature. "Well, if you do it again you'll have to have two nurses. What would ou have clone if I hadn't comer "Stayed there, Isuppose," Diana whispered. tic 'stood lookieg down •al her MI- Don't m- 1h n't you want to get .well?" he r;slt; d brusquely.

"Put it scenes a pity, a child like you. All your life before you ---everything tolook forward to," She spoke then, in trembling bit- terness. "1 hate my life .., there isn't anything to look forward to. I don't tate if 1 die... 1 suppose you've never wanted to die -r" "I've Bever been very ill," be an- swered humorously. "And it's only when you feel ill and weak that you think it would be ten :asy way out if ynu died,' "1 suppose you think I'm very . sells,"she. submitted, armchair. "That's base ingratitude," he said cheerfully. "And I've sacrificed my Saturday afternoon to you." She met the kindness of its eyes and relented a little. "`.Thank you for taking me," she said. She clung to his hand for a mom- ent. "I'll come again soon," he promised. CHAPTER VI Monday was a glorious day. Diana woke with the throbbing sensation that something good was going - to happen, Then she remern- bercd. Dennis was corning. She asked the Creature an anxious question, "How lone have I been here?'" "Nearly three weeks." it was a lifetime, Three weeks without once seeing Dennis! She hoped the Creature would not take it into her silly head to stay at home this afternoon. But the Creature went out. "I shall be back by six," she told Diana, "and Jenny will give you your tea. ring if you want anything." "I shan't want anything, thank you Diana said, but as soon as she was sure Miss Starling was well away she rang. the bell. Jenny appeared readily. "Did you ring, Miss." Jenny always asked questions that were already answered. "Yes Jenny, if a gentleman calls." —Jenny's smile widened—"show him up to me at once, Please." Four o'clock—she had said half - past in her letter—it seemed e etern- ity as she watched the slow hands of the little colck on the mantleshelf. Presently she dozed a little,. awak- ing with a start to find Jenny, flesh- ed and agitated, standing beside the bed. "Oh, miss—he's come—and I didn,t know if I ought to wake you." • "Bring him up. Why didn't you wake me before? ... Du I look all right?" "You look e picture, miss," Jenny Then Dennis came. For a moment Diana could hardly see him. She was blind with emotion; and her heart beat so fast it seemed to be' thudding up in her throat, chok- ing her. Then .the mist cleared, and she saw hint standing in the doorway, looking. at her with eyes that seemed half ashamed, half pitying, half glad! Yes, the gladness was there, and with a little smothered cry Diana held out her arms to him. "Dennis..." He carne over to her and took her in to his arras. `Poor little g rl ... my poor little girl ,,." She, clung to him, half laughing half weeping. He kissed her gently as he might have kissed a child, but she seemed contented and lay still, looking•at him with big eyes. "Look at me, Dennis—you don't Look at me at all," she said, He raised his eyes with an effort. "I've been worrying about . you, Diana." She smiled. It was sweet to hear him say that, "You need not," she told him. "1 eball soon be back in London to pla- gue you and quarrel with you again," He turned his head quickly away, and she said with a sharper intona- tion, "Is anything the matter? You stern -;-strange, somehow. Is any- thing the matter, Dennis?" "No, at least-----" He broke .off. "Something is the matter'," she in- sisted. She tried to raise herself, but the°'effort was too nnich, 'and,she lay back, trembling and breathing quick- ly. "You: frit lrten : me, she whispee-. ,ed, •TIc !told her hand to his fore-esuch a frail, white little hand. "There's nothing to.be frightened about, my dear."

"A long way, I'rti afraid;; at least, perhaps you will think it is a long' way, though it's nothing nowadays-' America." "America—why?" "America is not so far away," ,he said, trying to speak cheerfully. "It's only five days now --mo ttnio .tt all." "How long will you be gone?

She conld hear him downstairs talking to Miss Starling. It seemed an eternity till he came up to iter. ‘V"ell" he said cheerily. "And how ate we to -day?" She searched his `face with eager eyes. "Are you going to take ine out?" He laughed. "Didn't I promise? letut let me look at you first." "I're much, much better.," she as- sured him earnestly. After she had dressed; Rathbone lifted her aeattly. in his arms—she 'vas little marc than a featherweight, tend easefully carried her down the narrow staircase of the tiny house.

He turned round. "I must go, Diana." She said nothing, she just lay there looking at him with tragic eyes, and moved to sudden emotion he lifted her up in his arms and kissed her. passionately, "Don't forget me, Diana." There was no answering pressure, in her lips, those poor little reddened lips, and' he said, stung to unjustified anger: "You think only of yourself. If yot. had any thought for the yeti wouldn't be so hard." "I'm not. hard," she whispered, His face grew sullen. "Good-hye; then." He walked out of the rooms withoi t another word or glance, and Diana lay there, her face as white as the pillow,.st4•aining to hear the last sound of hint, Then suddenly she caste to She gave a little strangled cry tried to get out of bed.

Practically all of this loss can be prevented easily by carefully treating the seed grain before sow- ing. Oat smut is the most common and troublesome grain smut in the Pro vince and it destroys the kernel, hull and chaff. The fungus causing oat smut is carried over winter, exter- nally on the kernel and in the sur - re -ending hull where it can be rea- ched by a seed disinfectant. "The Spraying or so-called Dry Formaldehyde Treatment: • This method is recommended for the prevention of Oat Sniut only, al- though it can be safely used with a mixture of oats and barley. It can not • however, be safely used 'with wheat or hulless oats. Directions—Use equal - quantities of formalin and water, that is, 1 pint of farmalin. 'and 1 pint of water. A quart of the solution should be ap- plied go pplied'to 50 bushels of oats, If small- er or larger quantities are treated use proportional amounts' of the formaldehyde solution, thus: 25 bus- hels of oats require only a; pint of formalin nti.ed with 3 pint of wa- ter. A small quart sealer sprayer is most convenient for applying the formalin solution to the oats. A sprinkling can is not satisfactory. Sweep a portion of the granary or barn floor and then spray it with. a little of the formalins solution. Place the oats to be treated in a pile on the floor and shovel them into an- other pile and as they are being shovelled over spray them 'with the iforrnalin' solution. When finished spray the bags ' on both the inside and the outside and cover' the pile of oats with there. Old carpets, blankets, tarpaulin, etc. may be usefl. to cover the treated oats but should first be sprayed the same as the bags. Leave the oats covered for four or five hous, then uncover and they are ready to sow. N.B.—When treating oats; by this method open the doors so as to give .1Eatitic Service* i art C4bi t .1'11 TUE eitirat Assoriatiott ra►ted't,t- GRANT IFLEMii'IG, ASSOCIATE SECRETARY PREVENTION We find °coming a surprisingly large number of accidents which lead to suffering, 'femora .ent disub il ity and not a few deaths. It is obv- ious, therefore, that it is most des- irable to prevent accidents and to take reasonable .precaettions with that object in view. Sickness niight, inmany cases, be classed as another accident, for in its occerrence, there is the eleincnt. of chance in contact withdisease germs, berth this article, we use the term "accident" to describe unex- pected and unforeseen injuiies to the body, -'1rWe give the . name accident to many injuries which really should not be thus called because they are the result' of carelessness and could be foreseen. If we run in front of a motor -car, thei"injury which likely follows, could have been foreseen and so is the result of our careless- ness or thoughtlessness. Such an injury.should riot really be called an accident, but we generally use the term to describe all injuries whether or not they .are the result of our own lack of carelessness. This joint is stressed because if you think of all the accidents of which you have heard, you will find that most of thein would not have occurred if reasonable care had been taken. It is because we take so many chances that many accidents happen. Accidents do not all occur away from home; a very large percentage of them happen right itt our homes.. We stand on a reach from a chair insteatd of using a step-lader. The rug is torn and we neglect to mend it until someone trips and has a fall. We fail to remove snow or to cover it with sand, and .someone slips on. the icy steps. We leave poisons on the same shelf with bottles contain= lint harmless substances. The electric !fix more becomes loose and is allowed to remain so. It is just because we are careless: in regard to these and other similar things that people take poison un- knowingly, •or we find so many 'broken bones, sprained joints' and. bruises as the results of falls in the home..• The trouble is that wetake chances. every day, and no harm results, This goes, on until we becotne careless and then, one day, the ;accident hap- pens. Most accidents are due to our own fault, and no one is to blame but ourselves. It is a question of per- sonal responsibility, and not all the safety laws in the world will protect us unless we do- our part, The reason why we write this art- icle is because we see the number of accidents increasing. Those who value their health and strengh must give heed, not only to preventing disease and to living a hygienic life but ;they must also take reasonable precautions to protect themselves from injury., plenty of ventilation and hold the sprayer close to the oats. If this is not clone the strong fumes of form- alin will cause much irritation to the nose and throat. Advantages of this method: 1. It is safe. 2. Large quantities ;can be treated in a short time. 3. There is no waiting for the oats to dry; they can be sown at once after treating. 4. If necessary the treated oats can be stored safely for a week or more. The Standard Sprinkling Method With a Formalin Solution: This method is recommended for the...prevention of smut of; Oats, Stinking Smut of Wheat and Cov- ered Smut of Barley. Directions—Mix 1 pint of forma- lin with 40 gallons of water. Place the grain to be treated in a heap on a clean floor. Sprinkle the formalin solution over the grain, then shovel the grain into another pile so as to rnia. it thoroughly. Then sprinkle and shovel again. Repeat this oper- ation until every grain is moistened with the solution. _ Just enough of the solution should be applied 'to thoroughly moisten every grain but not enough to make the pile wet and sloppy. Firty gallons of this form- alin solution , is sufficient to sprinkle betweeh 50 and 60 bushels of grain, se that it take two-thirds of a gal- lon or more of this solution per bu- shel. It is important to use propor- tional amount of t:he formalin sole - tion. After the grain has been thor- °Uglily sprinkled cover the pile with bags, sacks or blankets, etc., which have been sprinkled with or soaked in a formalin solution, and .leave for three or .four hours. At the end of TEST NEW TYPE this time spread the grain out thin- ly to dry. Itis often advisable to shovel it over three or four times to hasten the drying, Formaldehyde ' is sold under the name of formalin which is a forty per cent. solution of formaldehyde. It can be purchased in .drug stores by,,the pound (16 ounces) or by the pint (20' ounces). Barrels or pails are not injured by formalin and so may be used for holding the solut- ion when treating the seed. Copper Carbonate Deist Treatment for the Prevention of Stinking .Smut or Bunt of Wheat and Smut die Hul- less Oats, Directions—This dust should be applied at the rate of from 2 or 3 ounces per bushel depending upon the amountof smut 'present. Dust mixing machines are now on the market for applying dust rapidly to large quantities of grain. Put the grain and the 'copper carbonate dust into the mixing -machine and rotate for : two or three minutes, or until every grain is thoroughly mixed with deist. It is advisable to wear a dust mask or a -tvet handkerchief over • the nose and mouth while treating the grain. If a smut treat - bag machine is not available a bar-,rei churn or an ordinary barrel fastened in a frame,'oi some types of cement 'mixers`'htay' be used for treating the grain. • Bulletins and circulars outlining in detail Grain Smuts and, their pre- vention can be secured by writing to the Department of Agriculture, Clintott, Ont Modern Davenport: "How did yott get tobe an antique?"
