AYR[TS SYNOPSIS 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 itlre 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 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 hone 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 Ieaves her, suggests that his love is waning. But Dennis has not been gone many days before Diana finds her- self asking 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 calls again at Diana's cottage. Diana, thirsting for love, turns her thoughts again to Dr. Rathbone. She is thinking of hint now as "Donald." Regardless of ` the mysterious ' 12os- alie, Diana resolves to see Dr. Rath- bone. She goes to his house, but as she stands at the front dc''r 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 aZIESMIlaintairit that she must have received a sev- ere shock, but he saw it was not yet the moment for him to speak, and presently she went ori, almost inco- herent with her bitter sobbing: "People don't even love you hon- estly It's not you they think about at a11, . only themselves... Men don't care what becomes of any woman so long as they get what they ;want.', We're just here,. to be made use of.. , It isn't love.. . it's all a pretense. just hateful. . damned ... beastliness . You're all the: same ... not one of you worth a single tear , and yet we go an . . doping . .. We're such fools . . breaking our hearts ..: wishing we could die . "Diana—for God's sake--" "It's true . . . you know it's true," she challenged :him fiercely. "Your- selves, only yourselves . . that's all you care about. ... I don't believe in you any more, li-either . You're the san're as all the others. . ." Her words were torn by her passionate sobbing. "You know I loved you. . . I suppose you meant me to . . . . and then youdidn't want me to tell you... I suppose you were afraid I should be a nuisance to you You'd got one woman on your hands already as much as you could manage . . . I suppose . .. . So you went away ... didn't even say good-bye ... didn't care . about me, or .what happened to me." "Diana!" She went on passionately, utterly lost. "It's true . ' . you know it's true it wouldn't have mattered to you if I—if. I'd gone away and .. . and lived with half a dozen men . . as long as I didn't worry you . . any more . . You think you're righteous :... pretended to be . and d all the time you were only just tired of me ... I suppose you -you'd had enough—" "Diana! Rathbone said again brokenly. With a swift movement he leaned over and took both her wrists in his grasp, drawing her hands away from her convulsed face. He held them for a moment as if even yet he could not trust himself sufficiently to tell her the truth, and then, with a smothered exclamation he bent his face to her hands,. holding then tightly there, closing his eyes against their softness, his lips press- ed to their palms in passionate kiss- es. "Diana ... Diana ..." She was suddenly still, sobbing no n.iore; her eyes were on his down- bent head, her breath corning inlit- tle gasps from between' her parted lips as if each one was a separate pain ... till at last he looked up. For a moment they held one an- other's gaze, not speaking, just read- ing in each 'other's hearts all of the sorrow and joy and pent-up love; then Rathbone leaned over and took her in his arms. He held her to him all crumpled up as if she had been a child, till, after a long silence, dur- ing which "neither of them was con- scious of anything but each other's nearness, she moved her arm a lit- tle, half furtively, as if she still fear- ed him, and then with a swift, con- fident movement she clasped it round his neck. "Oh—do you love rite—after all?" she sobbed, her cheek against his. "Didn't you know?" She shook her head,her soft hair brushing his face, "No not af- ter you went away ... like that." "I had to go . It was all I could do for you." "And . now?" she breathed. She felt his arms tighten around her for a moment, but he did not answer her whispered question, and ate repeated it, changing her posi- tion. a. little, 'trying to see •his face, but lie kept it hidden against her. "Ify' dear one . , you know I anal not free." ..She caught. her breath, "You mean . , , Rosalie?" ,,Yes." 'There was a long silence. Then she asked slowly as if she dreaded the answer and yet must know: "Who—who—is she?" She could feel the heavy throbb- ing of his heart against her own. "She's my • Wife .. Diana,;"' CHAPTER. VII Diana's arra fell from I4athbone's shoulder, and for a moment she lay luite• still, her mind a ` blank, . her body limp; then with a swift i ove- merrt she slipped from his arras fall- ing back Helplessly unto : the seat behind her. do that. I've been hurt myself so of- ten and so much----" She broke off, turning With swift welcome to greet a middle-aged, gray-haired ratan wiso came •through the swing doors, and Diana saw him take her hand, heard hien say, "Well nay dear," saw the look they .ex- changed and knew that she was giute forgotten. CHAPTER XVI They went on into the restaurant and when they had gone Diana seemed to cone to life. She must get away, that was her one panic- stricken thought. She must get away before Dennis came. She could nev- er bear to meet hint any more. She would go back to the Creat- ure—she would be safe with her. She thought of the little cottage and of her own room with almost passion- ate longing; not soon enough could she get away, from London. She sat far back in a corner of the cab, terrified still lest some freak of Fate should bring her face to face with Waterman. She only breathed freely when she was safe- ly at the railroad station. "What time is the next train,' please?" , "One due now, Miss—first stop Guildford. If you run you will just catch it." Diana ran. Her' long skirts ham- pered her, and she caught them up anyhow, with impatient inelegance; she would die rather than 'miss that train. . The guard had already blown his whistle but a friendly porter dashed forward and wrenched open a car- riage door for her, assisting her with clumsy willingness. - Someone shouted peremptorily, "Stand away there; stand away." But Diana only laughed hysteric- ally, as a man who was already seat- ed in the carriage sprang to his feet and• caught her firmly by her shoulders as she tripped over her long frock and almost fell. He began to say, "That was a 'narrow shave—" then broke off to speak her name in hoarse amae- ment. "Diana!" It was Donald Rath- bone, •:sem —•;�c::•`:"•..,'�'�',"�`��'.+"',�i=Ci! ".. "Men don't care what becomes of any woman so long as they get what they want." 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 lie refuses to explain. He ur- ges her to go back to London: Dennis Waterman comes to the cottage to visit her, but she does not thrill at his presence as she once slid: She goes back to London, and arranges to meet Dennis in a private room at a restaurant. While she is waiting for him Dennis' wife, Linda, comes in, NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "I suppose Dennis never told you I offered to divorce him, she said. "You—offered—therm' Linda nodded. "Yes, and I really 'wanted lily freedom. At first I did not, but afterwards—well, he is not the only roan in the world, and I arra still fairly young and attractive. Anyway, Dennis refused. I suppose it did not suit his plans. I assure you that he refused with outraged dignity. It was a most amusing per- formance." "He -refused," Diana said again, She raised tragic eyes to Linda's 'un- concerned face. "Is that really the truth?" she asked painfully. "Wiry 'should 1 trouble to lie about it?" No, Linda would not trouble to lie about it, Diana knew. Linda said with, some feeling, "I'm sorry if I've' !asst you. I'd hate to Diana collapsed onto the seat op- posite him, breathless and exhaust- ed. She moved her head from side to side with a dull feeling of suffoca- tion, and Rathbone said quickly: "How far have you been running?. What is the matter, Diana?" "Nothing." She laughed harshly. "Oh, nothing, except that once more I've discovered that life is only a rotten, beastly sham." He let that pass, and she went on in quick, exeited tones: "We're always wrong about peo- ple, no matter how well we think we know them. I'1I never believe in anyone again as long as I live," She had been wrong' about Linda too; somehow she had always res- pected Dennis' wife and envied her her poise and integrity even though she had once so foolishly hated her, and now she had discovered. that Linda was playing the same genie as the rest of the world, .meeting another man secretly, lying about it to her husband (not that that amat tcred!) in a fugitive chase after the elusive sham called Love which, ev- en if you. caught up with it, never gave you any real peace 'or satisfac- tion; but only turned to rend'. you. "I'll never believe in anyone again as long as I live;" Diana cried, pas- sionately, and covering her face with her hands she began to sob, Rathbone sat very atilt, his 'head averted, Ike could see that Diana'' was utterly overwrought aid knew His wife! Stich 'a possibility had never crossed his mind She never eloubted the truth of, what he hacl just said—Rathbone would never Be to her. His wife! Presently Rathbone tonchcd her hand ruusirtg her. "-!:his is our station, Diana," She stood up obediently, folding her coat warmly around her, Hobson was on the platform. Rathbone spoke to hint. "I'll drive myself. Can you get a lift . back?" "Yes, sir," Presently they were alone again, driving thronglr the quiet roads. Rathbone had not turned in the direction of the cottage, but Diana hardly noticed; she sat beside him, lost in a kind of stupor. Rosalie was' his wife; that meant eternal separation; she could not find room for any other thought in lief bewildered mind. • Presently they were out in the country in a narrow road with trees overhead and hedges on either side; the lights of the car lamps threw each separate object into glaring re- lief before it swirled past there again into blackness. Diana had let the window down, and the cool air, sweet from its flight over fields and valleys, blew on her tired face, reviving • her a lit- tle. The quiet hum of the engine seemed to be saying the same thing to her over and over again: "She's his wife ... she's his wife ... she's his wife," till she felt that she must cry out in protest. Then Rathbone drew the car to the roadside,` and stopped. For a moment he sat silent at the wheel then he asked: "Will you believe what I am go- ing to tell you, Diana?" She moved her head in listless as- sent. "Oh, yes." His quiet voice was a little shak- en as he went on: "First I want you to know that I love you with all my heart and, soul and that I should count myself the most . most blest among men if 1. could ask you to be my wife . . but I can't ... I—" he stopped, continuing with increasing difficulty "Then I want you to know about . . Rosalie) I have never told any liv- ing soul but you—I shall never tell anyone else, It all happened so long ago—twelve years, soon after the war. She—she was the wife of a friend of mine—a decent fellow from a man's point of view, but a mail who should never have married .. . He didn't understand women or ev- en try to.. .. . She wasn't happy with him, I was a young man then, and she—she was kind enough to like nee. .. I am not going to pre- tend to you that,I was not attract- ed to her, I was." (Continued next week.) WHAT FARMING COSTS Any farmer who will succeed in his business must give consideration to cost of production.

NATURAL FEEDING Natural mills is beyond question the best and .safest food ,for. the I baby. It is the first duty of every mother to nurse her baby. There are very few mothers who are un- able to nurse their babies as log as they are willing to do so, The first year of life is a difficult period for the new baby. He must adjust him- self •to new surroundings and new conditions while at the same time his body grows -very rapidly. Dur- ing this period, he is entirely de- pendent. for ependent.for the food he needs and the care he requires upon his mo- ther. The young mothers will find that there are •many women who are not Only willing but anxious to give ad- vice: Tliey will tell her that they speak from experience and the young mother will find it difficult to ignore Avhat they have to say. She will be confused by the contra- dictory advice which they will offer to her. So it is, that we warn her against these well-meaning friends and suggest to her that she inform herself •from reliable sources and be guided by what she learns from such sources, ' Breast .milk is best because it is clean, pure and always at the right temperature. It does not have to be prepared and so there is no chance of dirt gaining entrance into it. There are no untensils to be clean- ed and sterilized. It is much easier - to nurse the baby than to prepare feedings which' require constant care to make sure that the feeding will not carry with it some • harmful germs, Both time and money are saved by natural feeding, not to mention the mother's peace of mind which as ensured. The mother's milk is specially suited for her baby. It is of the right consistency, it is readily dig- ested and it contains the food wsub stances which the baby requires. That these, statements are correct, is shown by the fact that there is pro- portionately roportionately much less sickness and fewer deaths amongst naturally fed babies as compared with these arti- ficially fed. One of the most serious decisions which a mother is called upon to make is as to Weaning her baby. So often the reasons for weaning are unreasonable or imaginary. The mo- ther fears the baby is not doing well and immediately she jumps to the conclusion that the fault lies in her milk. In almost every case' she is wrong. No mother should wean her baby before the regular time,. unless after a careful consideration of ,,her case by her doctor, it is found to be. necessary, and there will be very few such cases. Questions concerning Health, ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical As- sociation, 184 College St., Toronto, will be answered personally by let- ter. this connection is supplied by the Field Husbandman of the Dominion Department of Agriculture, who says: 'In calculating the cost of pro- ducing farm crops it is necessary to estimate the value of all the various. items which enter into the cost. Some of these items, such as those relating to the cost of manual and horse labor, arevery easily figured because in these instances it is pos- sible to record exactly the number of hours worked on the various crops and then multiply this by the cost per hour of this labour. With other items, however, such as the cost of manure, it is necessary to make an assumption regarding what percentages of the total cost should be charged against each particular crop in the rotation," CHICKS ARE NOT HATCHING AS GOOD AS USUAL Correspondence and reports re- ceived at the Poultry Division, Ex- perimental Farm, would indicate that chicks this spring were not hatching as plentifully as usual, states F. C. Elford, Dominion Poultry Husband- man. Hatches as low as 10% of the" total eggs are reported, while 20% and 25% hatches are not uncommon. This condition seems to be fairly general throughout the whole of Canada. These poor hatches ` along with the late season may have a decided effect upon the egg production next winter. Chicks generally also are later than usual, the result of the very . backward spring, especially is this so in Ontario and the East. Because of this condition some having chicks to sell are advising late chicks in order to' make up the. number. Buyers should be advised. to buy late chicks with caution for experiments have shown that chicks that cannot mature before winter are a poor investment. "Christopher! Did I see you rais- ing your hat to our parlormaid?" "Yes, my dear." "Christopher!" "Well, my "dear, if I ignored her she'd give notice. She's too smart to be nodded to; and ifI winked at her you'd be annoyed."
