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.

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. bleu"! py.v. � �sr+a ,Fa• ,btirMf,Ftit� �ri+�,r . doted lis) +,§ 1#� '►fin his 1 4•;.ieha11h$,oltle fgig * txex 'li ouX be a, ;Rew �0 10 i 9eeno, e1iiitgd,.° g$u,,', as,rher ether 4irs a di ;a , „tie4:re on hek 'k'ace ,ire -7 r spe01Rg' to .Nurse oto;ndl" 1uM 0Y'er a deatili.. ,' $he wws (XOi?1e ;;??ill lli tp ; dje. l Beath mu$ com to ao'a -i 'she said, "`*e wPn't,aa eke ea opened her; gen, What =wad..

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.

"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, a ouxt n11. ^, qi rile , . ve idea, aJsd nt 14, in a ;WOO, tn#90 19e thin 91 , o` ± cath aetar a t lnb;reae i t''rpur a $ ,pep ldtfoii' �Q?

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. !-�. __1 1 4 i ., • Fa lnstopco 11 016 4S*1C *Y41)000 o 0 0• t anotbet ?taloa o f ,bcmitoaindw - ie'ese,obaltes arta cracks in. wood.
