No one would have been kinder
than the estimable German' had
Thea confl.ded her sufferings„ but
even at their worst it was 'only on
a plea of sudden toothache or
some such material excuse that
Thea could bring herself to invoke
the bedside presence of her
Fraulein.
Of her physical woes she could
speak; her mental miseries she
felt constrained to endure as bent
she might in secret. Fortunately
as the months passedher health
improved, and these nights of hor-
ror .became less and less frequent.
Long after, some chance allusion
by Fraulein to Dante's Inferno sud-
denly drew from an inattentive
pupil a sudden gleam of interest.
"My Inferno was a worse one
than Dante's--lt was ' Worthing,"
she remarked, but would vouchsafe
no explanation of this arousing
statement.
Shortly 'before Thea'e fifteenth
birthday, it was considered fitting
that he should be prepared for
confirmation.
She had received the usual re-

and. Thea's Sunday morning iudi
positions were 'a joke to leer broth
ers and a real trial to her mother.
Mr. Blankhasset had suggested
that Thea should take a Sunday
School class, and bad endeavored
to interest her in a 'Guild of Ser,
vice; in both cases without result.
".But, my, girl," suggested .k'rau-
lein, "it is perhaps your duty to
do these things. How then?' ,
Thea looked at her out of in
scrutable grey eyes, but would
vouchsafe no reason for ,her (firm
refusal to teach, or to 'become a
member of the Guild.
Fraulein sighed.
"If you would believe it, myThea," she said, "Ihappiness can
only come because you do that
wbieh is right.
"It all depends what you mean
by happiness—and •by right," was
Thea's• reply.
Kind. old Mr. Blankhasset sat in
the schoolroom for an hour each
Wednesday afternoon -instructing
his youthful parishioner in the dog-
mas pf the Anglican Faith. Thea
listened more attentively,
t
or lase t ntively,
awl aread that which he gave her
to read. On ;the occasion of the
clergyman's fourth visit she said:
"How do you do, 'Mr. Blankhas-
set? Dosit down in this comfort-
able
omfortable chair. I want to tell you
something. I know you won't like
it, but I can't help that, I'm afraid.
It's just this. I don't believe what
you tell me.",
Mr. Blankhasset gazed: at his
pupil in utter perplexity.
You don't believe—" he be-
gan.
"No, I don't," said Thea flatly.
"The fact is I'm not a Christian. I
don't like the idea of Christianity.
Why should one innocent person
suffer for the sins of all the guil-
ty? It's horrible. It's unjust. I'm

The girl was standing leanin
against the schoolroom table. S•b
seemed to have. fbrgotten the ho

Do: th, from whose skelton hand
shrivelled shredis of IPfe fell on
by one.
That afternoon Mr. Bl)a.nkhasee
went •home wearied, and • dejected
and aat him down in his shabby
arm -chair. His wife, now grey-
haired but sprightly as ever, look-
ed up at him ,affectionately.
She was sitting in the untidy
study, by a table on which were
bowls of water and of paste and
lumps of pappydooking white stuff,
out of which her quick brown fin-
gers were fashioning headed'resses
in the'shape of rams' horns. These
were destined to adorn the heads'
of a chorus, in a Masque to be
enacted upon the Vicarage lawn.
Abandoning her enthralling oc-
cupation, she left' the room and
returned with a box of plasmon
biscuits.
Mr. Blankhasset took one and be-
gan eating absently.
"What is it, Robert?"
Robert explained.
"Oh, my dear," replied Mrs.
Blankhasset, "I shouldn't worry if
I were you. Leave arguments for
the present, and just try and put
some ideas of the beauty of holi-
ness into Thea's red head, and let
her think it out for herself. That's
a strange child—an artist to her
finger-tips. Perhaps, if she ever
gets' the chance, she will find for
herself in Art that which you try
to give her in religion" She pinch-
ed and prodded a piece of the wet
paper pulp and then went on: "It
infuriates me the stupid way in
whoch they baffle that wretched
girl at every turn—they're always
pushing . her in on her Self. If
they don't take care one of these
days the I in. Thea will eat her all.
up. She ought to be allowed to
live hard and use her wits: to be
up against the big things of life.
She wants something to cut her
teeth on, and that reminds 'me,,
Robert, eat another biscuit, for I
don't quite know when' we shall
get dinner. I wanted some brown
paint and varnish, so Ethel bicycl-
ed into'Reading for it. I said
'she needn't hurry. I knew she
wouldn't, even if I didn't say so."
"Ah, then perhaps I had better
eat another'biscuit. And as for
Thea, I daresay, my dear, you are
right. God 'comes to us all in the
end."
The tired old man leant back in
his chair and shut his eyes. Soon
his mouth opened' and he snored
softly.
M. Blankhasset again left her
work. She looked round the room
vaguely.
A gaudy robe of yellow chiffon
and spangles, destined to trans-
form a stout pupil teacher into
"The Lady of the Sun," caught her
eye.
Catching it up, 'site tucked it
across her 'husband's 'knees and
chest, and stooped to'kiss the top
of his, white head.
"Bless him," she remarked
cheerfully, and once more return-
ed to the fashioning of papier'
mache horns.

fruits of time and use.
Thea looked at herself in, the
glass. Her pale oval face., with
the scarlet lips, and grey, dark:
lashed eyes, in its frame of burn-
ished copper-redhair was •beano-
ful. From her own vivid youthful,
countenance her eyes travelled to
that of Nurse—the eminently re-
spectable, restrained face of an.
unmarried woman of fifty, who 'has
lived her life in the home of
others.
"I do wonder what goes on in-
side-

shall be late, and I don't want a.

them, but Daddy does."
"I can't be quicker than quick,
Miss Thea. You should be up in

you should be finishing,"
The girl wriggled her head free
from the restraining hands; stuck
a large tortoiseshell pin into the
heavy coils of hair, threw herself
into ber dress, Leading two hooks
unfastened, and the tie hanging
crooked.
"Miss Teea! Miss' Thea! You
know that your Mamma—"
But Thea was down the stairs
and across the hall.
She opened the dining room door
hastily. The long white panelled
room was lighted by the pale
March sun, and a great bowl of
daffodils gleamed yellow on the
table. The crocuses in stone vas-

THROUGH CHEMISTRY
IT DOESN'T
MEAN A THING TO MEI"
Vin::•.:
•
IF YOU WERE a farmer it might seem that
way at first glance. But take another look!
Those fine crops, which mean so much
to Canada's health and economy, often
depend upon chemical fertilizers.
Weed and pest destroyers, orchard sprays
too, are but a few of the services that
chemical research extends to agriculture.
Through good times and bad, the
chemical industry plows a straight
furrow, ever moving forward to create
better things for farm, industry and
home. Look to chemistry with confidence
for a finer future ... and to the C -I -L
oval symbol of an organization devoted
to serving Canadians through chemistry.
For instance.
