He knew. Michael hospitality. With his name on Board any Company was safe, Borde had not studied financial manoeuvres for nothing, Over one thing, however, he was a little uneasy, although that vague uneasiness had not yet crystallised into anything definitely' wrong Diana Hamill-Hardy was a gambler She had been pretty frank about it; indeed, since his stay here he had seen how large sums of money could be lost and won in a fashion he had never dreamed of. Cards, yes, he knew all about that kind of thing, but cards had never attracted him; bridge, he declared was too much of a fag after business hours, more- over, the hardships of his early years had instilled into him that slow caution which makes gambling an impossibility. Poker and chemmy were novelties, but like most novices Michael Borde was uncommonly lucky, indeed, his phenomenal luck attracted Diana Hamill-Hardy, that, as "much as his stoicism after the accident he had caused, That Noncomformist conscience of his, too, bequeathed to him by old David, who had brought him up strictly and with a moral code of high ideals, still pricked Michael Borde at whiles. No man can fling away traditions of his childhood, when they are the only traditions he holds. He had outgrown the horror 'of cards as "the devil's playthings," with which he had been brought up, but Michael Borde had not outgrown his ideas of women as.home-makers. Cards and cradles did not synchron- ize. : However, there was plenty of time yet to accustom himself to new ideas. To tell the truth, he was not yet accustomed even to 'the idea that Diana' had become engaged to him. 'As for thinking of her as his wife, the mother of his children, it was odd how Michael Borde dismissed that not merely as premature, but as unwelcome. With a final glance at himself in the mirror, he quitted his room, and went slowly downstairs. That little bother over his tie had delayed him, and already several people were in the lounge. The butler was moving about offering cocktails, little bursts of laughter and conversation met him, as midway down the staircase he paused. Here a suit of armour stood in an alcove, and Michael Borde laid his fingers on this for a second. He stepped behind the mail- ed shell, a whim seizing him to stand as did the Crusader, peering down HIS I was hurrying across the small plot of grass between the Hospital and the Nurses' Residence one fine morning on the way to my office when 1 encountered a youth loiter- ing around. : "Are you wanting anything?" "Yes, I'm just waiting to see Nurse Robinson." "Well you'll hardly see her this early as, no doubt, she is on duty.", "Oh-yes 1 will, for I 'phoned her I'd be waiting around here about ten, and that she could gece me by looking out of the win- dow, but she hasn't come yet." He was very confident. I scented a romance right there, and asked a few leading questions which brought forth: "Yes, he'd been a patient in the Hospital for five weeks, had been operated upon for Mastoiditis." ty in Prohotinsing ba word, I noticed --"and did 1 ink Nurse Robin- son would be long?" I did not, "for," I said, "it is my firm inten- tion of telephoning right away, and telling her that there is a fine up- standing chap looking up at her window, and that will bring her on the run, I know." He smiled, with some confusion, but with evident relief. "What Ward is she on, Ward J? All right, you wait just where you are for one minute." i I could not reacn my office quick- ly enough; I was thrilled at my find. Here was a youngster anxiously waiting outside of a Hospital to ob- tain a glimpse of his nurse! Could ou conceive of anything quite so ovely? One would imagine that the -whole Hospital episode would make him eager to put miles be- tween him and the place, But no, there he was, hungering for a look at the one who had bent over him in his pain. Just what tenderness, understanding of-- his plight, and real palehip, had "Nurse Robinson" shown that had irresistably drawn him back to her? These were the thoughts that chased through my mind as I tried, arog frantically, to get the switch- board, and my heart blessed her, "Oh dear, line busy!" Another _ minute's wait, and still busy, It was really ridiculous how pati ent I was, I gave a hurried glance through the window.

"Come back again soon" I said as he left "to see me as well as Nurse Robin- son." #1 sat down quietly at my desk, stirred at what had, so unexpected- ly, been granted to me--ihe mani- festation of an adoring small patient for his nurse.

"I don't profess to know what you're playing at, Diana, but I should have thought you could have picked one of your own class." Diana Hamill-Hardy laughed, and it was like ice, striking ice, that laugh of hers. "Oh, leave it to me, Tony," she drawled. "You don't suppose I'm not capable of handling my own af- fairs. It was my only way of get- ting back Werburge-Lucy."" The Tudor House! Behind that ancient suit of armour Michael Borde felt himself go cold. So the house was what she wanted; it was neither him nor his. money, and re- membering the spell it had cast over him he could understand. "Besides, it had been the home of Hamill- Hardys, and she was the last of_ her house, She smiled and lifted her glass. They drank together, but as Michael Borde saw her smile he felt un- easily that things had not come about altogether as he imagined. Her next words showed his suspic- ions were right. --- " "It has been child's play," she said. "Give me a light, Tony." One day I'll tell you the whole story. It'll" amuse you. You might even write a play upon it. I've staged my episodes most artistically," he saw her long lean fingers curve over the jade cigarette holder, and felt like an onlooker watching a scene in a play. "Remember Ronald's bat? The one he scored with for Warwick- shire? . Well, it began with that," she laughed ironically, lighted an- other cigarette, he saw her bend to- wards him and bit his lip as he watched the look in the man's eyes. So it was that, was it? This man, whoever he was, was in love with her, it was pretty evident, too, look- ing at Diana, that she cared for him. (To Be Continued.) The Lucky People Some of you young people envy, or think you envy, the people who do not have to work, who get up in the morning when they feel like it and plan their days without regard to jobs or salaries, There have al- ways been a few such people to be reckoned with, and always they have been envied by a goodly proportion of the world's workers. Somehow, when you come to look into the matter, however, you do not find these people who are idle be- cause they have everything without working for it, so fortunate as yon might suppose. They are very likely to plunge into folly and dissipation, as though in using legitimate pleas- ures every day and all day, they have worn them out. The percentage of suicides among them is amazingly. high. . ~~~ Some of you .are thinking that even if you were not obliged to work, you would not be lazy. You would work, however, only when you felt like it. The habit of working regularly oper- ates like all other habits; it makes work easy. If you wait to work until you feel like it, you will find it neea- lessly difficult. No one should be pitied because he has to work, nor envied because he is free to spend all day in play. The lucky people are those who have York they must do, and strength to do it.

Orange Pekoe ~ Blend ry = A Fresh from. the Gardens SALT FOR HOOKWORM Is Used To Kill Parasites In the Rand Gold Mines Silicosis is the dread disease of miners. It is produced by rock dust. Breathe the dust day in and day out 'and the probability is strong that tuberculosis will result. In the Rand of South Africa, where the: richest gold mines in the world are located, the problem thus presented has been the subject of more than one thor- ough governmental investigation. The most obvious way to prevent silicosis is to lay dust. Wet the walls, the ground, the tools as they drill in rock, and, there can be lit- tle or no dust. "Reasoning thus, the mining companies of the Rand have been dowsing their deep workings. Out of the mines came whites ana Negroes plastered with mud, It looked for a time as if silicosis had been cheaply and effectively conquered, Then it was discovered that the miners had hookworm. Temperatures that run well over 100 degrees Fahrenheit must be faced In the "deeps" of the gold mines--ideal conditions for the propagation of the parasite, not to mention cock- roaches, -beétles, rats and other liv- ing disease. carriers... The miners were dosed with. carbon. tetrachloride, in accordance with Dr. Maurice Hall's method, and thus rid of their worms. But how were the mines to be freed? Salt is a well-tried remedy. So the superintendents ordered a general cleaning of all implements, cages and passages with salt water. The eggs of the hookworm cannot survive the treatment.

(Editor's Note: Here is. another Interesting . problem ,with which the author has had to deal, Have YOU any problem upon which you would welcome some advice and guldance? This well known handwriting expert repeats his Invitation to readers, following this week's article below). A young lady of 19 writes me from the West, in part as follows: "For a few years, although I am still only just 19 years of age, I have going with a man of 33 years, We seem to be admirably suited to each other in spite of this difference in our ages, aving much in common together. My friend is inclined to be somewhat sen- sitive, but I am the first girl to come into his life, and he got to be very fond of me. "Over two years ago he asked me several times to marry him, but I was not ready for marriage, because -I do not believe in early marriages, and I was ambitious to become a teacher. My parents also objected, on account of the difference in our ages. I may say here that he is earning a good living, and money matters would not trouble us, I want- ed to wait for a few years before marrying him, but I couldnt bear to loge him. "Since then he has been a differ- ent. man, very .despondent at times, and intensely jealous at others. We are both of a jealous temperament, but he has acted very bitterly, His despondency changed, and he accused me of going out with other men, which was not true. Whenever any young man would even pass our house, he would accuse me of being responsible. . At first I laughed all this away, but it got so bad that I realized that he meant what he was saying. 3 "Over a year ago he turned to an- other girl because he was convinced a few months that was over, Is there anyway in which I can convince him of the untruth of his statements? Or what do you advise?" i Here again we have this question of a marked difference in the ages of the two concerned. The man is 14 years. older than the girl, This is nol so bad; however, because their rela- tive ages are still young. So that this = age difference in the present case is not an insuperable . obstacle. However, the matter of jealousy is a vital one. There is one of the most insidious of characteristics, It grows on it- self. "This young man.has lost _his self-control entirely, and has shown precious little respect for the girl he wants to marry, in continually ac- cusing her of the things he has, The question arises --if he is so inordinately jealous of her now, when he is not even engaged to her, what would he be like when they were mar- ried? yn Jealousy is one of those .vices that MUST be cured before marriage, The mere ceremony of getting married does not destroy it; rather does it stimulate it. And a jealous husband that I was deceiving him, "ut after] What Does Your Handwriting Show? By GEOFFREY ST. CLAIR {Grapho-Analyst) All Rights Reserved. is far worse than a jealous suitor, for a single girl can still give up the man whereas once married, a remedy is difficult -- and only after a great deal of unhappiness and tribulation. It seems to me that the man in "question is likely to continue to be jealous, and I advise my correspond- ent.to give him up, at any rate until she is assured that his jealously is eured. Better to cut the knot now than live to rue it later. - : Jéalously, unfortunately, is one of those vices that is really hard to cure. And it is far too great a risk for my correspondent to take, especially hav- ing regard to the difference in age. She is still young, and it will not be very difficult for her to gain new friendships. Can the author help YOU? Do you wish, to know what your hand- writing tells about YOU?
