Donald ..... Save me!„ He went on his knees beside her. At twenty-two the only thing Diana really desired was another wo- man's husband. 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 handsome and sympathetic. She learns that he is not the great man himself but an assistant, Dr. Rath- bone. "God made the country and man made the town," he tells her, and she agrees to go to a rural re- treat. Before she leaves she goes to Den- nis Waterman's flat, where they are DR. R. L.

"To be where I am happiest," Di- ana said with troubled eyes. "And I am happiest where I know I shall. see you most often." And then there followed a pro- found silence which seemed as if it could never be broken, till Rathbone said with an effort: "We most be very frank with each other this once,, Diana, and then we will never talk about it again. I know you won't misunderstand me when I say that my life was settled for me—or perhaps T settled it my- self, whichever way you prefer— many years ago, when you mast still have been only a schoolgirl. I can't go back on it, even if I wanted to. I've always felt that when a man takes certain responsibilities upon himself he should stand by them, whatever his inclinations, whatever comes between, I can't explain more definitely, I haven't the right to. I can only hope you will understand." He broke off, as if for a moment he had lost himself in the wistful beauty of her face. She stood helplessly silent for a moment before she broke out with something of her old impetuosity. "I wish I knew what it really is I feel about you; I wish I could ex- plain, but I can't, and if I did, you wouldn't understand, Nobody would. But if I go back to London, as you. say you want me to, there'll be oth- er men again I know that. You see —" she submitted rather pathetical- ly—"I mustdo something—go about with someone. Aunt Gladwyn is kind, but we're not really friends. I know lots of girls Iike myself, but we don't any of us really care about each other. Then there's Dennis . . he arrives in England to -day you know. I didn't tell you before, but he does" Her eyes sought his with fear. "I suppose when I'm well -you'll go again?" "Go ?—where ?" "Not see me any more, I mean." He put his hand on hers for a moment: it was like her to touch his tenderness when he had been trying harshily to condemn her. "No, not if you still want me," he said. She said suddenly, with a ghost of her old childish impertinence, "Poor Dr. Rathbone—you can't quite es- cape me, can you?" "Have you thought I wished to?" She sighed. "I have thought so— yes." Away in the • distance the church clock struck eleven. He asked, "Does that mean that I am still—a wall for you to lean against? Wasn't that what you call- ed me?—a safe harbour, Diana?" She pressed his hand in assent, the old sweet smile crossing her face as she looked up at him. The garden gate creaked, and Dr. Rathbone went over to the window. "That is Miss Starling," he said. "I'll just go down and see her; you don't mind being left now for a mo- ment." Downstairs she could hear him talking to Miss Starling, and pres- ently they came up together. Diana wondered if the Creature could pos- sibly have been crying, or if it was DR. A. W. IRWIN DENTIST .-.. X-RAY 'Office, McDonald Block, Winghan7. A. J.

Donald Rathbone had dined alone that night. • He had heard Diana's car drive up but had merely thought it was one of his own returning from the vill- age to which he had sent his chauf- feur with a message. The dining room was on the far side of the house, and the heavy. oak door was shut, so he heard no- thing more till Diana's terrified scream rent the silence, followed by that piteous cry upon his name. "Donald ... 1" Rathbone was out in the hall al- most before it had died away, but even then, for an instant, in the dire light he could hardly understand what was happening. Servants were rushing from other parts of the house, but it was Rath- bone who dragged Nero away, al- most throttling him in his iron grip, Rathbone who, throwing the dog aside into someone else's custody, lifted Diana in his arms. "Oh, my ----Goll" She looked up at hitn, her eyes half read with terror, then with a •little convulsive gesture she put her lacerated arms round his neck, clinging to hien desperately for one heartbreaking .moment before she fainted.

"I'll make you nice and comfy presently," she promised. She asked no questions, and Diana liked her better at that moment than ever before. "Ill just run away and take off my cloak and bonnet," she said practically, and went away. Rathbone stood at the foot rf the bed. '`D you mind if I go now?" ' Rathbone asked. "I'll come in the morning—quite early." "You've. been very kind." . "And you won't worry?"

The car moved slowly away. Rathbone sat opposite Diana, leaning a little forward, his hands gripped between his knees, staring at her. It was like some monstrous night - marc from which he could not free himself. How had it happened? Why had "Good -night," be said again, but when he reached the dour she called him back tr, say: "I'm glad it wasn't 'good-bye' this time." He lorkecl at her gravely.
