It's all right, my dear," cried Denis, Birch. "He isn't dead, I tell you he isn't dead . . . don't look, my dear. Leave us to look after him." Already Daphne Eden had climbed the hedgebank where harebells swayed and wild thyme grew, and gripping the brapches of creamy blossoming dogrdw 6d, , parting the brambles, she looked down. Michael Borde, with dazed ex- pression, was scrambling to his feet. He looked at her, then crumpl- ed up again, and with a cry of sud- - den pity, Daphne scrambled on the other side. "Oh, he is hurt. Michael is hurt badly. For heaven's sake fetch a doctor," she cried. For the second time within the space of a few months Michael Borde found the legacy of war wounds a bitter and humiliating thing.

"Oh, if he 'dies, Daphne, I'll never forgive myself," he cried brokenly, and Daphne Eden, her eyes dark with suffering, turned look at Denis Birch, Angry words of reproach trembl- ed on her tongue, but seeing his distress, she kept these back. "Oh, why did you do it, Denis? she cried. "Can't you see what a muddle it has made of life?" A muddle! No, it was worse. It was a tragedy, or as near enough to a tragedy as one could well go, for Michael Borde lay on the very edge, the doctors feared the worst, and whilst they had operated, driven by terror, young Birch had made his confession. He had always been in love with Daphne, calf-love it might be thought by some, but it had been enough to drive him to the verge of terrible jealousy, and when Daphne had sought out his mother for help, when, after the death of her father, she wished to get away, young Birch had longed to help her. He hated Michael Borde, although he did not understand why, until that day, when delivering letters at Trenkills Farm, he had foundi him there with Murs. Gregory. Then he had been obliged to wait whilst Michael wrote a let- ter, which he enclosed in one from Mrs. Gregory to Daphne, who was staying with the Meadows. "It was easy 'enough, Daphne," he to confessed. "Mother and I were the only people who knew where you were until you wrote to Mrs. Gre- gory. So I steamed it open, and took his letter out and kept it back." "Where is it?" she demanded. Timidly he took out a folded paper from his pocket book, and as Daphne Eden read that letter from Michael Borde her eyes blinded with tears. It .was so humble, yet so like him, too, and as memory came batk; to her of that green garden behind tryst ihe Kept in vain, and all that a broken faith would mean to a man of his type, she felt curiously humble. Re- membering how she had laid her hands in his and spoken words of love and faith. Remembering, too, the simplicities of this man, in spite of his worldliness, she felt ashamed. He did not die, but during those July nights when Daphne Eden kept watch, she felt she could never for- give herself, for over and over again, when, in delirium he spoke her name, she understood that not once had she been out of his heart. At the end of the first week, obey- ing some strange impulse, she sent for her step-mother, who 'arrived flustered and wondering, but when she discovered that Michael Borde | was here, under the roof of Daphne Eden, that Daphne was in love with 'him, after all, and that she had sent for her to- help unravel -the tangle she herself had helped to weave, Mrs. Eden sat back complacent and self-assured. "I knew you cared, Daphne, just as I was certain all along that he was in love with you," she "Well, my dear, nice little place FOR ae COM ABH AND SCREEN EVERY said. ' you've got here, too, and I shouldn't ,mihd living in the country myself if I could get a snug little house like this. Lord, what a way you can see, too. What's the big grey house down there?

Haven't you read the newspapers, Daphne? They're been full of his affairs lately, one 'way and an- other. . . . ." One way and another. . . . yes, she chattered on, and some of the things Daphne already knew, some of them she had pieced together through Michael's wanderings. His dreams of a great combine. . . yes, she knew all about that, how ambi- tions he was, poor darling, , . her eyes softened. . . ' "Well, well, Daphne, when you look like that," broke in Lily Eden, "don't 1 wish poor Michael could see you. To listen to him anybody might think he was a youngster, head over heels in love. Makes me feel quite dippy to listen to him. You don't seem to have treated him very well, Daphne. . . ." That would be her. punishment if he got better. She would always know that she had been the one to blame. "You're like your father, hot and hasty," went on Lily Eden. "Just see how he blamed me. Well, I don't say that I wasn't a bit to blame, but who wouldn't be? He was double my age, and he wanted me to sober down and do nothing but darn his socks and listen to his talk about his blessed old inventions. That reminds me, Daphne," and here her eyes narrowed, "you and me ought to look into that lighting device. I know it's fitted on all the Multiple cars, 1 know Michael Borde says he bought it from a Swede, but as likely as not the dirty little tyke stole it from your father. . . Don't look at me like that with your eyes all on fire. 1 don't mean Borde, 'I mean the Swede."

Russia and Rubber PROGRESS OF SOVIET UNION IN ITS SEARCH FOR SUBSTITUTES ; 4 When the Soviet Union promulga- ted its first five-year plan the world heard much of Russian attempts to solve the problem of rubber, Latex had always been imported. Hence- forth, it was decided, the Union mukt either digcover within its own bor ders plants that yield something like rubber or develop its own processes for the synthetic production of the material, The 'Union has done both, It has plantations covering 79,000 acres on which rubber-like plants grow, made out of alcohgls and acetylene. The plantations are the visible ev- idence of a successful search for plants ot the right species. Year af- ter year European Russia and' Sib: eria were combed for roots, shrubs, trees and bushes that yielded what might be a tell-tale milk. At last tau-sagiz was discovered in Central Asia. That was in 1929, Moscow lost no time in spreading the glad news throughout the world, Probably the discovery received as much publicity as Edison's effort to produce a rub- ber substitute from golden rod. Tau-sagiz is a shrub. Its roots contain a gum coagulated in fibers. From 15 to 30 per cent, ot the dried weight of the roots consists of this gum, A survey made in 1933 re- vealed that 15,000,000. tau-saglz shrubs grow wild in Soviet territory. Twenty million more were cultivat- ed on plantations. a year ago, Besides tau-sagiz there are two other -gum-bearing plants, One, kok- sagiz, was found In Kazakistan in and | it has factories in which rubber is |' 1931; the second, crim-sagiz, in the Crimea a year later. Both are weeds much like dandelion; both flourish in the damp, salty earth of moun-' tainouy; country. The production of synthetic -rub- ber follows American lines, Like other chemists through the world, those of the Soviet Union recognized at once the importance of chlorop-, rene, discovered by Father 'Nieuw-' land of Notre Dame and developed by Dr, Carrothers of the du Pont la- | boratories. In America the rubber- like product derived from chloro- | prene is called duprene; in Russia, sovprene, Probably more synthetic rubber is "utilized in Russia than in any other' country, But the Soviet engineers! and chemists are not pleased with most of the tires made from their | sovprene, The_fault lies, not with the raw material, but with the me- thod of 'manufacture. : REVEAL ? WHAT DOES YOUR HANDWRITING All Rights Reserved GEOFFREY ST. CLAIR Graphologist In certain of my articles I have endeavoured to answer certain ob- jections that some correspondents have raised regarding Graphology. As a result I have received quite a number of letters from readers ex- pressing their agreement with my comments. But one correspondent took issue with me, and all because of certain things I had told him 'about himself. Apparently I had told him that he thought too much about himself-- that he was too self-satisfied. He said that he was not at all like this--but it took him eight large pages to tell me what he did think about himself. There is noth- ing very much to answer to this gentleman, 'excepting. to express the conviction that if he thought he needed eight large pages to give me his opinion of himself, then indeed my previous observations about him were correct; that, indeed, he did think too much of himself! In the same mail there came a very broadminded letter from a man of forty years of age. He thanked me for analysing his character, and went on to say: "Thank you for giving mg the best laugh I've had in years--a laugh not at you, but at myself! When I wrote to you for a character analysis I did it with my "ters truth, although [ had asked you to show me no mercy!". Now, it isn't everyone who can be so broadminded about his faults-- but there is a lesson in this letter, and that is the reason I have quoted it. There is no virtue in fooling our- selves! Most people have faults of one kind or another--and it is the height of wisdom to wish to learn about them, so that they may be rec- tified. The great trouble with most of us is that we do not really know ourselves. It takes an unbiased outsider to tell the real truth--and Graphology, because of its scientific accuracy, will show the real truth about you. Would you like to have your own character analysed from your hand- writing? This well-known Grapholo- gist can help you as he has helped so many of our readers.

High Cost of Weddings Cut The Chinese Government recent- ly delivered a telling blow at the weddings, when &7 couples marched to the altar togeth- er and were married in a simple ceremony, with General Wu Teh- Chen, Mayor of Shanghal, officiat- ing, Aimed at setting an example of economy to the nation in accordance with Generalissimo Chiang Kai- Shek's "New Life" Movement, the ceremony was devoid of all the frills and extravagance characteristic of the traditional Chinese wedding. To the 'labored strains of Mendel- ssohn's Wedding March, played by a Chinese brass band, the marriage candidates paraded down the ecrim- son-carpeted aisle, while a crowd of 1,200 persons, largely relatives look- ed on, The 'couples ascended the platform in groups of four, bowed three times before the stalue of Sun Yat-Sen, "Father of the Republic," bowed twice before each other and once to the Mayor. , They then received brilliantly de- corated certificates which made them man and wife. Each marriage was completed in two minutes. The government charged each couple the equivalent of $7 for the ceremony, the price including the certificate and a gift to the bride, This was in startling contrast to the customary Chinese wedding which sometimo3 throws the young couple into debt for life. British Writers : Are Criticized + New York -- A Briton recently praised the "gusto" of American novelists and said British readers are turning more' and more to American novels for qualities of ex- citing entertainment. = Norman Collins, partner in a Lon- don publishing firm, said: "When 1 read an American novel I think of a good dogfight, with something hap- pening all the time. "In. England they are mostly on leashes and are not likely to start a fight. "Or you can think of it as a nice canter, with the author mentally pouring tea for himself en route, as against a steeplechase, with a lot of horses falling, but action, excitement and gusto every minute, "That is why American books are being read in England, rather than the writings of our frightfully clever young men, who are ashamed of their emotions and have successfully di- vested themselves of intellectual curiosity." to have lelsure whether you are happy or not." =~ George Bernard Shaw, "The secret of being miserable is to bother about i) BOA Pipe Smokers! fill up with : "GOLDEN VIRGINIA" and enjoy a really good smoke!
