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 Iong H rest. elther is e. t. She rebels, s but doctor handsome and sympathetic. She learns that he is not the great inan himself but an assistant, Dr. Rath- bone. "God made the country and ratan 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 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- ting, 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 # eaves her, suggests that his lore is l waning. But Dennis has not been _one 1 glected her. , . , Then, after a shot - time, she left hila. Diana—if yo knew how hard it ,is for me to tel you this—" He broke off agitatedly, but Dian did not speak ,and aftre a momen he went on again: "In the end . in the end ... I agreed to take her away. We thought it would force her husband to. di- vorce her .. She was so differ- ent in those days, gay and reckless, never counting the cost of anything —only living for the moment Then—the night before we were to have gone she was nearly killed in a motor accident She was driving her own car, and she was alone She" was unconscious for -days, and when she recovered , , she was as she is now—like a child. She recog- nized me, as she still recognizes me, but only as an affectionate child might, and that is all. The reet, ev- erything, is .gone from her. "I paid a. visit to see her husband —she had nobody else who cared or who could have looked after her - and I remember that he laughed in my face. IIe was a much elder man than 1, and he said to me 'Well, } ou'ce begun to pay already, Rath- bone, and you'll go an paying for .he rest of your life' . . It -seems that he was right .... I brought ter dawn here to my house, and d: -s. Farmer came to look after her. Two years later her husband died .. t et 1 a t many days befcre Diana finds her- a self asking Miss Starling all sorts I of questions about Dr. Rats bone. Not long afterwards she :earns that there is a woman living in Dr. Rathbone's house, a woman named Rosalie.

She struggled for words in tthicl she could best' express herself. "I seems to me that it woufdn't .be sue! a.great—wickedness if you and.I liv ed' together, even if we can never be married. Don't: thins: all the wrong "But you mean it, `I know' it's what you mean," she told him des- pairingly. She broke oFf to ask breathlessly after a moment: "I wonder what you think is to become of me?"• She would go Wink to I,.ondon,she' thought, tearfully, she would pay visits, and laugh and flirt, and stay up late, and };et sick and weary and bored once again, with no hope of anything better to. come. ' She said with a last effort: ""If you *mild only promise me that some day I should see you again—and be with you. Can't I have anything to hope'for? Don't you event to be with ole too?" "Every moment of all my life;,' 1 She said, with a touch of •her old - obstinacy: ' "If you really meant that, you an wouldn't send e away. .You've of- d ter talked to me about being happy." "Now -I've got the chance—a beau- tiful chance—you won't let me take. She was silent for a long moment; then she said wearily: "Pleas•e take ane hone now." -- • Rathbone started the car without another word and drove silently back through the quiet .lanes. They were.at the cottage gate•now and Rathbone stopped the engine. Diana moistened her lips, "I suppose this is—good-bye?" she said faintly. "Let us say good -night instead, Diana," Rathbone answered hoarse- ly. "In my heart you know I can never say good-bye to you." She said with a sob. "I don't want to be only in your heart. I want to be with you in real life. I want to feel . your arms• around me—to kiss you.." He did not move for a moment; then, almost roughly, he look' her in his arms again, holding her silently, not speaking at all, just holding her, till after a long time he turned her face up to his. He kissed her many times—on her eyes, her throat, her hair, and then once again on her lips, before, very gently, he put her away. She stood beside him at the gate, unable ` to speak, shaken to the depths of her being, her eyes raised to him in mute appeal; then sudden- ly she turned and fled up the little garden, sobbing as if her heart would break.. CHAPTER XIX The following morning there was another letter from Mrs, Gladywyn telling Diana to get ready to return to London Wednesday. on V esday. "Wednesday! That is very soon," the Creature said. "I shall miss you." "I shall miss you too," she said quietly. "But I suppose I shall have to go." "By the way," she said as she left the table, "I can't find the frock you wore when you went away yester- day.""No," Diana kept her eyes low- ered. "I changed at illy aunt's house; and left it there. It doesn't natter." It gave her a queer little feeling to realize that in all probability her carelessly packed suitcase was now its Dennis Waterman's possessi on, because of course he would have sent for it as.they had arranged, "And what are you going to do today?" Miss Starling . asked. "I think it's going to be fine, by the look of it." things about me for saying. that I know quite well what I am saying. It wouldn't be like going away with Dennis—that was just a sort of bra- vado—defiance—to try and.forget you. I'd made up my mind, to drink pots of champagne to -night just so I should not care, but if it had been Yoh . . 1_ love you just as well ev- ery minute of the day as I do now. I shouldn't care if you never kissed me or made Iove to me at all, if I could just be: With you. I've been so silly.. You, said once that you didn't believe I'd ever met real love. "I hadn't fill you came. I must have been waiting for you. Can you understand that, too?" "Yon make me very humble, Di- ana." She leaned forward a little, trying t.:. see his face. "And—will you?" she asked. "Wilt I what,_ dear:" "Ler rite live ver: your t. Rathbone turned suddenly, grop- ingfelt her thrstegit the dim light amf taking her t him -with the • reneth of despair.

"Donald'" "Yes, my l:r.art?" She caught her breath on a, half sob. "How lovely," she whispered. "No- body has ever said a thing like that to the before," "Like what, Diana?" " 'My heart' ---isn't that wliatyou called me?" "You are my heart." She turned 'round, lifting her face to his. "Kiss me, Donald." j She leaned her cheek againsthis shoulder,. and his arm tightened a little, drawing her closer to him. "You're such a child," he said with emotion. She shook her head. "I'm not—not any more. I think 5 grew up all in a moment, just now, when you kissed. me."' "I ought not to have kissed you." She laughed at that; she felt that at all costs she must not allow too great a sadness to come between them. 'Why not?" she asked. "Why not —ii you love me?" She turned round, lifting her face to his "Kiss me again, Donald," But he would not. "We've got to' face facts, Diana, \\'t:'�e got to realize that we can't go .c,n meeting—like this. I'm not rnacle of stone. We've got to make ep our minds that, the only possible thing' is to say good-bye." She gave a little cry: "Dont' do that, Diana; Don't cry, for God's sake , . I can't stand it, I'm to blame for all this—I ought never to have done'what I did to- night... You were right when you told' nue that I only just pretend righteousness." He .took his arm away.from her, and With a great effort she checked her tears, though she sat forlorn and shivering without the shelter of his close embrace Then Rathbone said heavily: �`I must take you home." She was silent for a moment; Harte she broke out: "H �I'm never �toing to see y'atf any;' more "1 dirlrt her own cottage.

SILENT, EFFICIENT NIGHT WATCHMAN Whenever I pick up a newspaper telling about some industrial plant or warehouse being robbed and the night ,watchman found dead, beaten ?Jr unconscious, I feel that these faithful sentries are misnamed. In- stead of "nightwatchman" where the plant or warehouse is unprotectedby the steel walls of industrial- fence, they should be called "Night-Watch- ed.Men.,, Industrial fence' putt a line of mar- ching sentries about the properties it protects. Many buildings or plants protected only by Cyclone Industrial 'Fence are far safer without night- watchmen than they are now, un fenced with two or even more on the Job. It is easy to say ,that this or that inprovcment will pay for itself. As' it happens, Cyclone Industrial Fence really does that in many cases. It cuts down insurance costs. It pre- vents petty pilfering and damage that is rarely of such a kind that the loss can be even approximately es- timated. Our Company takes pride in ,do- ing more than merely selling Indus- trial Fence, Instead, the Canadian Steel Corporation takes pride in sell- ing Industrial _Fence Service, We are very glad to receive inquiries from executives who may only be.
