leant against, her plilowe; aha is ,
lend wing that she must look, • must
convince herself that no 4A:94€101
thing was there,, ,
She feared. to. look, and yet it
was more horrible not to look. She
raised her Wes -and. they fell upon
the long mirror in the wardrobe
opposite the bed. What was •that?
Frenzied, she crouched under -the
clothes. For a moment she lay,,
then -the horror of, what there
might be out in -that brightly lit
room seized upon her again, and
again she forced herself to look.
There 'was nothing, . Her night-
dress clung to her damply; she
felt faint with the strength' of her
terror. "Jou-Jou," she whispered,
and the sound of her voice startled
her horribly. 4'Jou, come here,
Jou,"" she called again. But there
was no stirring in the basket on
the hearthrug, no responsive pat-
tering of paws. Nurse.had obeyed
Jean's command,: •the dogs were
not to sleep in iss Thea's room.
Their baskets were to be put in
the gunroom. -
Thea longed desperately for the
comfort of Jou-Jou's smooth embody
pressed against her own, the feel
of -his tongue on her cheek. To be
utterly alone added terribly to her
fears. Alone. Alone. - There swept
back to. her mind the events of the
previous day. Her fears were for-
gotten and the utter desolation of
the girl who has lost her lover ov-
ercame her. She threw herself on
her face, clutching at the pillows,
and again the deplorable crying be -
gen. Utterly despairing, torn with
misery, she lay and wept. How
could she live through long years
of nothingness,. through grey,
dreary stretches of time ,in which
there would be nothing to hope for,
nothing to desire? Who could live
like that?
She cried and cried and- then,
exhausted, lay still, for the mom-
ent incapable of further pain.
The house was quiet—there Were
no sounds of stirring life. Sudden-
ly the clock struck midnight, and
Thea knew that hours- of this hid-
eous night remained to be endur-
ed. "I can't bear it. I can't bear
it. Oh, God, end it—end it. Let
it end."
And then fear came close to 'her
again. Fear of what? That fear
of the unknown which is of all
others the 'most terrible. •
All at once she realized that she
was sitting up in bed beating her
hands upon. her updrawn -knees
while her voice droned on and on.

leather -covered chairs, the' dogs''
baskets on eitiher side of the.
hearth rug, the. gun cabinet, the
long tubes of polished metal.
She moved towards the bed. The
glat* of milk left by Nurse caught
her eye. :She drank, lay down
again and slept.
At breakfast .Ivor kissed his
daughter affectionately. He look
ed at her anxiously and her appear-
ance horrified him. She seemed to
have shrunk and faded; her move-
ments were listless and her voice
was flat and tired. So ill did the
girl look that Jean commented on
her appearance.
"Thea," she said, "you don't
seem well. Had you not ,better
have stayedin bed?"
"I'm all right: it is only my
head."
"I think you must see another
doctor. Something must be done
about your headaches,'
Thea made no reply. 'She sat
back in her chair eating scarcely
anything.
"Don't you think you had better
lie dpwn again?" suggested her
mother.
"No, thank you, I'd rather go
out."
'Wouldn't you like to come with
me to the village, old lady? Your
mother wants me to see Diggle."
"I'd rather stay quiet, thanks,
Daddy."
Ivor looked at her anxiously, be -
gap to speak again and stopped.
Nettie had said that Thea needed
peace and quiet: perhaps it was
best for the moment to let her go -
her own way.
After breakfast Thea wandered
out. Without any conscious effort
ofwill, she took the way to -the
copse. When there she gazed
round her. It was as if years had
elapsed since she had- last seen
the place. Misery enveloped- 'her.
She threw herself down-' on the
grass, her arms thrown across the
tree -trunk on which Simeon had
sat so often. She felt his arms
round her, his brown shaven cheek
against hers. The want of him,
was anguish. She had not known
that such suffering could be.
Presently came the clanging of
the stable bell. She must go back
to lunch; and every day and dap
day after day there would be this
She wondered if Cousin Alured
ad been capable Of feeling much
pain—if, in spite of his heavy,
stupid manner, his handsome, stu-
pid face, great sharp knives of
pain had gnashed and torn?—Alur-
ed could never have suffered as
she suffered and yet—he had end-
ed it. Long, long ago she -had come
hurrying along this very path
through the garden and the side
door, and her father had said,
"The poor chap's- shot .himself."
At luncheon she was very silent
and again her father watched her
uneasily.
"I should like you to go and lie
down, Thea," said her mother. "If
you don't feel better I shall ask
Dr. Prosser to see you tomorrow."
"Very well, Mother."
Such acquiescence was unusual.
Thea detested Dr:, Prosser and al-
ways objected strongly to his vis-
its. Her unwonted obedience soft-
ened Jean.
"Thea, dear, is there anything
you would like? Anything I can
do?"
"No, thank you, Mother, It's
only my head."
"You don't feel like coming over
to the cricket at the Jewins',
Thea? I could drive you," sug-
gested Ivor, in the vague hope of
distracting Thea from her grief,
"you could stay in the car i4 your
head was bad."
"No, Daddy, thanks. I'll lie
down again, I think."
All that afternoon Thea lay on
her bed. Jou-Jou snuggled close,
licked her face, bit one of her fin-
gers very gently and affectionately
and .composed himself to sleep.

She- sat up -in bed listening. There
wag ;.;the scraping noise of- dry
scaly skin as the Fear drew itself
over 4Ip sharp edges of the steps.
Her door was shut but was it
shut, ' or was it opening? Her•
heart stopped. There was a tight
band around her head. The lead-
en- bails had begun to roll again,
if they roiled fast the band would
burst and she would be dead. And
if the Fear.came and- she was dead
it would be cheated of its prey:
Time: -passed, and Thea realized
that she was sitting up in bed,
beating with her hands upon her
updrawn knees. "Dead — dead,"
she was saying.
A bili rang loud: it was the ser-
vants' tea -time. Thea rose and
went • doy� stairs. Prosper and
James wel' just coming out of the
drawing -room: the old man held
back the door for.Thea to pass in.
The great silver kettle *as steam-
ing and Jean had begun to make
the tea.
"Are you better, Thea?" she ask-
ed -
"Much better, thanks, Mother."
She 'sat down on a small sofa
near the tea -table. The cushion at
her back was in her way and she
pushed it on to the floor.
"I don't -think it improves the
cushions to put them on the floor."
Jean spoke gently, and Thea re-
placed the cushion.
Jean, never talkative, made one
or two remarks, and- Thea answer-
ed.
"I must write some .more letters
before post time," -said her mother
when they had finished tea.
She left the room, and Thea sat
staring -in front of her. Then she
rose and wandered- about, loaking
at photographs, at pieces- of china,

"You're looking better, Miss

almost sly amusement flashed
across her face, but she made no

WANT TO COME BACKI'°
The anguish of the morning had
dulled, and the girl lay looking out
through the window at the tree-
tops dark against the blue of the
sky, across which a white cloud
slowly floated. The rooks cawed,
and from the distance came the
rising and falling hum of a thresh-
ing machine. A great bumble -bee
boomed in through the window.
Surprised by his new surroundings
he gave vent to shriller and more
excited buzzings and then blunder-
ed away out into the sunlight
again.
After a time -rhea shut her eyes,
but still she saw none the less
clearly. A series of pictures float-
ed slowly past. She was with
Simeon out in the copse and- the
air was heavy with -the coming
storm`. She saw herself swaying
to and fro, the ivy in her -hair.
Life and Light and; Love and ev-
erything else forgotten, "and when
Love is dead, I shall die."
The picture faded. She was in
the gun -room again, and John was
cleaning his rook -rifle. She notic-
ed the worn place on the large
leather -covered arm -chair in which
the dogs would lie and from which
they jumped, slinking ashamed- to
their baskets, when anyone enter-
ed the room. The barrels of the
guns ranged in their cabinet look-
ed Tike the pipes of an organ.
Once more the picture changed.
She saw Alured Corteous. It was
night and the lights Were burning
in the Wilteri Place library. He
tad a revolver In his hand.
Then she saw" herself standing"
..SURE. I STARTED IT THIS YEAR!"
YES, SON, you're now meeting up
-with formulae and test tubes, but
chemistry has been with you all your
life. In one form or another it has
guarded your health, helped to feed
and clothe you and provided many of
the things that have made your young
career so zestful.
Now you are learning how this great
service works. Your first simple experi-•
menta are the roots from which sprang
such basic products as chlorine to
purify water, fertilizers to stimulate
food growth, insecticides to kill pests
andguard crops, and paint to protect
and beautify. You know about nylon
hosiery, for example. The same plastic
is made as a monofilament, so strong
that it is used for fishing line leaders
and tennis racket strings.
Chemistry never stands still. It is
constantly searching for and finding new
and better products. For this is a chemical
world and the C -I -L Oval is the symbol
of an organization devoted to serving
Canadians through chemistry.
