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, Miss Star- ling told her. After three weeks Dennis Water- man calls. He tells her he will have to go -away, and_ his manner, as he leaves her, suggests that his love is waning. But Dennis has not been gone many days before Diana finds her- self aslcing Miss Starling all sorts of questions about Dr.. Rathbone, Not long afterwards she learns that there is a woman living in Dr. Rathbone's house, a woman named Rosalie. Soon after the meeting in the woods with Rosalie, Dr, Rathbone r calls again *at Diana's cottage. Diana, thirsting for love, turns her thoughts' again to Dr. Rathbone. She is thinking of hon now as "Donald.” Regardless of the mysterious Ros— alie, Diana resolves to see Dr. Rath- bone. She goes to his house, .but as she stands at the front does. the doctor's big police dog leaps at her and she feels his teeth tearing at her throat. • Rathbone saves her from the beast dresses her wounds and takes her to DR.

Lateit Lanousine l uner'al Coach, feeling her world was falling away from her. She wondered if her love for him had died. And thought, strangely, carried with it no regret, And then suddenly came the reve- lation that it was Donald she loved, maddeningly, distractingly. She knew then could never be happy with sas she any other man, "To -morrow," self, "to -morrow _ I London." She was glad because it was bone whom she loved; a man surely worthy of the best life could give him, and in some strange way that gladness overweighed the knowledgei that, even supposing he cared for her in return, he would never tell her so. But she could not believe that he cared—why should he? There were- so many women in the world more deserving of happiness than she—noble,' unselfish women—not just selfish, spoilt—useless. Then she was concious of a great fear; fear because all her life she would have to do without him; that would be hardest of all to bear, When morning carne she found that out of the mass of confused thought only one fact had struggled; she must keep her pride whatever happened. Nobody Hurst ever know, Diana said to her am going to Rath: He asked me to say that, of course, if you wished to see him again par- ticularlly, he, would be pleased to ar- range to call .or for you to go to his consulting room. ie. London," The Creature was knitting so rap- idly now that the needles flashed dazzlingly in the afternoon sunlight. Diana closed her eyes. "Thank you. That will do nicely," she' said, uncertainly, When a little. later, Miss Starling had gone for her usual constitutional Diana sent a telegram, It was addressed to Dennis Wat- erman at some West End Club, and consisted -of only two words: "Yes, Diana." Diana left the cottage very quietly on the Friday afternoon. She told the Creature she was going to din- ner and a theatre with Dennis Wat- erman and would not be home until late. Diana drove straight to Mrs. Glad- wyn's house when she got to Lond- on. She was not expected, and the maids seemed rather flustered by her sudden arrival. She intended to pack a small suit- case for which Dennis would ,pres- ently send his chauffeur, and after that—well, after that her mind was a blank—after that nothing would mat- ter very much. Nothing mattered very much now, if it came to that.. Diana was amazed because she felt so cold and unconcerned. Even the thought of .Rathbone hardly distressed her. That episode, precious as it had been, was definit- ely ended. She did not know what plans Dennis had made, and she hardly cared. Since the afternoon she sent that wire she had often wondered why she had done it. It was not be- cause she wanted to go with Dennis except that deep down in her heart was a foolish, feverish hope that per - hap she could help her to forgetcould drug her senses and take away the endless pain of loneliness and long- ing. Dennis was the one creature in the world of whose love she was confident, and so she had turned to hint as a half -frozen outcast would turn to the first fire that gleams through the night. She had no regrets—nothing mat- tered. At seven she sent the maid for a taxi and put on her cloak. She would be a little for ,Dennis, .perhaps but the silence and memories of. this room worried her -it would be bete ter to get otit anct mingle with the .noise and bustle again. She went down to the waiting taxi, leaving orders about the suit- case. She did not care if her aunt's maids suspected anything; she knew it would not be the first time she had set then at talking. It was only really genuine people like Miss Starling and Jonas who made one feel ashamed. The cab stopped and a commis- sionaire hurried to open the door. Dennis had chosen to meet her at this small, rather unpretentious res- traunt because he said they wolil(i be unlikely to meet anyone they knew, and it was Diana herself who had suggested the theatre "It's so long since I seen a play," was the excuse she made, but that was not the real reason. It was because she felt the desperate need of excitement to help her—of stimulant to give her courage; if Dennis offered her champagne to -night she would cer- tainly not refuse. She walked into the little lounge and sat down by the fire. It was very quiet—just the kind of place runaway people would choose, Diana thought cynically. The swing door moved noiselessly, and Diana turned. If it was Dennis -Diana stared blankly for a niotnent at the woman• who cane in— stared, and thought herself mad or dreatning l for the woman was Linda Waterman. She was alone, and their recogni- tion was tnutulbefore Linda came across the lounge with ease confid- enc:, beautifully gowned andlook- ing young and untroubled. "How strange—that you should be here," she said. "Dennis tells tic you have been very ill. I hope you are better.f' "Yes—yes, thank you." Linda held her hands to the wee - null: There Was a large diamond on one finger that caught the light and sparkled into cold white flashes of fire. Diana was very pale, and. the vivid blue of her own gown intensified leer pallor. ,She was wondering vaguely She thought herself mad or dr Waterman. her own cottage. Both realize that this is love, but Dr. Rathbone tells Diana that he can be no more than a friend, because of things in his life which he refuses to explain. 1e ur- ges her to go back to . London.

"When do yott want the to go?" earning, for the woman was nobody must ever dream loved him and her love had returned. "I may as well go away with Den- nis, or anybody else who wants me," she told herself recklessly, as she watched the creeping daylight. ":I can't ever have the plan I want, so nothing matters." Linda that she not been CHAPTER XV what would happen when Dennis 'ar- rived. •Something seemed to tell her that of them all he would be the only one seriously disturbed. With an effort she forced herself to speak "Did you have a good holi'(lay, in America?„ "It was hardly a holiday..I had so much business to attend to. Dennis hated it—he was longing to get back all the time," Her eyes dwelt on Diana's face with half -amused interest. "Are you waiting for him now?" she asked abruptly, Diana's lips moved, and she flush- ed crimson, but no words would come, and Linda said with an un- concerned laugh: "You need not mind telling me if you are. I have not come here to spy on you—it's just bad luck that we should have chosen the saine rend- ezvous. I am waiting for a friend myself." Diana rose to her feet, "I thought you were in Paris,", she stammered; and then wondered why, of all the things she might have said, she should have chosen words that were. surely an admission. Linda shrugged her shoulders. "I suppose Dennis told you so? Well, I wanted him to believe I was going to Paris," she said quietly, "It suited me for him to think so." She laughed again. "It's very odd, but it never seems to occur to my noble husband that perhaps I too have my secret orchard." She held out the hand that wore the big diamond and stared at it med- itatively. "I'm rather glad you and I have met again," she said. "I intended to write to you soon, anyway." "To write to me?" The burning colour rose again to Diana's face—the felt utterly at a disadvantage. Linda was so assured, so cool—she was sure at last that Linda no longer cared for Dennis. "You need not look so angry," Dennis's wife said calmly. "I know you hate me, but not. I quite like you, I believe we could be good friends." She moved suddenly, coming a little closer to the girl. "I suppose Dennis never told you that I offered to divorce him, did he? she asked interestedly. "I assure you I did—before we went to America, the night you dined at the flat." Continued' Next Week Diana made a quick trip up to London to do some shopping. She had lunch with Dennis, who told her. Linda was going to Paris and begged, her to run away with him. She kept putting him off with in- decisive replies to his urgent begging and be finally drove her back to the country. She promised him,' as she ems kissing him good-bye, that site would give him an answer in a few days. Miss Starling told her, when Den- nis had left: "Dr, .Rathbone after lunch," "Olt;" Diana's voice was ously indifferent, "He left a message for you." "Oli," Diana said again. "What was it?" she asked as Miss Starling kept silence, "Ie asked ore to tell you that he did not consider there was any real need for him to call any more, that he had arranged :cw itt Dr. Fin- lay t lay to look after you regularly, and that he hoped you would approve.

If we are to .protect ourselves againstdisease germs, we must take precautions to keep these our enemies, from penetrating be- yond the outside of our bodies, wh- ere they are harmless. It is our own hands which frequently give germs. their opportunity to gain entrance into our bodies. In the ordinary con- .rse• of our daily lives, our hands come into contact with many objects we touch and handle many things which may have been soiled by the secretions of other persons. In shak- ing hands, substances which- may be on the hand of one individual are transferred to the hand of another. It is obvious that we are very like- ly to have on the surface of aur hands the germs of disease. As long as the germs remain there, they can do us no harm, but once they pass our lips, they are given their opport- unity to cause trouble. If you will watch a number of people; you will see that most of them frequently put their hands to faces. They touch their lips or their nostrils; some even put their fingers in their mouths. Food which is tou- ched when it is being prepared, or in eating, carries with it. into the mouth whatever was deposited on it by the hands. To prevent the dangers arising out of such habits, we advise that no ane touch food unless the hands have been washed thoroughly and also that the hands be kept away from the face, unless the handker- chief is being used. Washing the hands properly me- ans more than dipping them into water and wiping them on a towel. When we say wash the hands, we mean a thorough washing with soap and water and the use of the nail brush until the skin is clean and the nit of washing, they should then be vied on a clean towel. Even after washing, the hands are not clean in he sense of being free from all germs. So it is that these germs wh- ich have been left on the hands axe wiped of on the towel,` If tlid towel is used by a second person, then this person, in wiping; his hands, rubs on- to them germs left in the towel by the first user. This may appear to some of our readers to be rather far-fetched, but we can assure their that there is no exaggeration because it does happen Towels should be used on a person- al basis, each person having and us- ing only his own towel. By taking such simple precautions, we can help to protect ourselves against disease germs. Wash your hands before eating and use only your own towel.
