SYNOPSIS
AL twenty-two the only thing
Diana really desired was another wo--
ivat.i's hasba nd, A nervous wreck
from the excitement and strain of
London's gay life., she is taken by
her aunt, Mrs. Gladwyn, to a famous
specialist's office, The physician or-
ders her to the country for a. long
rest. 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

whispered.

said ruthlessly. "Put it scenes a pity,

terness. "1 hate my life .., there isn't

"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-.

came. I had,to see you before 1

"Go—away? Where?"'
"A long way, I'rti afraid;; at least,
perhaps you will think it is a long'

"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

GRAIN SMUTS AND
THEIR PREVENTION
Losses, due to grain smuts affect-
ing oats, wheat and barley each year
in the Province of Ontario, amount
to 4 to 5% of the total crop yield
and lower the market value of these
grains by approximately . $5,000,000
atmually. 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

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. •

in detail Grain Smuts and, their pre-
vention can be secured by writing
