PAGE 2 MANi First Instalment It was intensely hot. In the big, somberly furnished consulting room, its blinds drawn closely against the midday sun which poured down on Harley Street, there seemed hardly a breath of air. A girl sitting at ithe table, Idly turning the pages of an illustrated paper, pushed her chair back with sudden impatience. "How much longer is he going to keep us waiting, I wonder? It's disgraceful, asking anyone to wait in a lethal chamber like this. The large overdressed woman in the armchair on the other side of the room roused herself with a sigh of regret from a doze which the heat and too large and too l?f:e a breakfast had brought upon her. "I'm sure it's a very nice room," sue saia vaguciy. "Nice!" the girl flashed her a contemptuous look. "Any place is nice to you as long as you can sleep in it," she said rudely. The large woman sighed again; her only protei; against life was a sigh, and she had long since grown accustomed to her niece's disrespect. "The furniture must be most valuable," she said again ito the same vague way. The girl glanced round the room with a frown. "Furniture which fools like us have paid for," she said irritably. "I don't know why we're here afi all. There's nothing in the world the matter with me." Mrs. Gladwyn began fanning her plump flushed face with a daily paper which had been lying disregarded on her lap. "Six months ago you weighed nearly a hundred and twenty-five," she said without much iri:erest. "Today you weigh?ninety-eight, is it? At any rate, you have only to look at yourself in the glass to see that you're washing away to a complete shadow without any adequate reason for it, unless?" she paused, and a faintly malicious smile lit her sleepy eyes?" unless you're in love again," she added. The girl turned another page of ho rrraxmzine hefnre her with an angry l.<;tle flick. 'I don't believe In love," she said sharply. Diana's further answer was checked by the opening of the door and the appearance of a maid. "If you will please come this way, Miss?" Bodily weakness, mental unhappiness, and a never ending fear that she was about to lose the only thing she had ever really wari.ed in life. It was these things that had kept her obstinately in London when everyone else Was away at the sea, or on the moors, or down in the country. A't twenty-two the only thing in the world which Diana really desired was another woman's husband. Diana, a little nervous in spite of herself, entered the "top man's" consulting room. He Was big and rather clumsy looking, with grave steady eyes and a modih that looked as if it rarely smiled. It did not smile now, but his eyes seemed to pierce through all the bravery of her carefully reddened lips and rrfake-up, right down through her artificiality to 'the trembling weakness of her. Diana said nothing?she felt as if an ordinary greeting would be wasted on this man. She just stood and looked & him with an unconscious appeal in her eyes, till he said quietly: "Won't you sit down?" He indicated a chair close to his own and facing the window, so that the ligili fell full on her face. Diana obeyed, her hands clasped in her lap, and her heart beating in a queer, frightened manner. He seemed to realize this, for he said more gently: j "Don't be frightened. I am not going to eaii you." She flushed scarlet through all her pallor, and her eyes grew angry. Speaking to her as if she were a silly child with a cut thumb. nu- _ - one gave a nine mgn-pitcned laugh. "I'm not really ill. I feel rather ia humbug coming here a): all, but my aunt insisted. I've got rather thin, you see?but then, I was always thin. It's the hot weather, I think, and I don't sleep very well. London's always rather trying at this time of the year, don't you think? We generally go away, but this summer?" She broke off, feeling suddenly very young and foolish and Mating herself for it. seemed so long since she had felt either young or foolish, and because the experience was strange she also hated this grave-faced man who was respon Warren too, N. iADEm RUBY M.

He's a Connecticut Yankee, from Stamford. sible for it and who looked at her so searchingly. After a moment she rat.tied on. "I thought if you could give me a tonic ... I fainted last night?not that (chat's anything, is it? But my aunt was nervous." The little highpitched laugh came again. "As if fainting is apything important." He spoke then. "J; depends entirely on the cause of the faint. Will you take off your hat?" She obeyed, holding it on her lap, and for a moment there was silence. In Diana's mind she was saying to herself dully: "I wonder what he is thinking. I wish he would tell me whsfc he is thinking of me. Why doesn't he tell me? I hate being looked at like that?as if he were driving gimlets right through me. Why doesnli he say something? He Said something then. "How old are you?" "Twenty-two.' His eyes said plainly, "Is that all?" and Diana blanched. Her glass had told her often enough 'that she looked worn and ill and older than the hated Linda, T*rV?rv nniil/4 nrvf ho mhro + V) O n turPTIf v six, seeing that Aunt Florence had been present at her christening. But Linda was happy and healthy and care-free and had always enjoyed her life, while she . . . Suddenly the room began to grow dark and to swim about her, land though she clenched her teeth and pressed her feet hard upon the floor she could not control it or herself, and then for a little while everything was blank. . . . "Lie still. You'll be all right in a moment. Jul; drink this. No, lie still and keep your eyes shut." She was glad enough to obey. She felt as weak as if she had just struggled through a long illness, weaker than she had felt last night when she fainted so suddenly in the middle of a crowded ballroom. Even the attempt to raise her head left her so exhausted that she felt almost dead. But the potent drink ithis man gave her was wonderful?it seemed to open fresh life and energy into her body, and presently she opened her eyes and smiled. He ignored that. "Better?" he asked. "Yes. Quite well, thank you. It was silly. I'm sorry. It must have been the heat." She tried tq laugh. ''Y/our consulting room vAis very hdi." she said. "That was brandy, I suppose." "No." He kept away from her a moment, then, seeing that she had raised herself and was half sitting, nan leaning against tne cushions of the couch where he had placed her, he came back and looked down at her steadily. ''Dp you like plain speaking?" he asked abruptly. She raised her eyes, very blue against the pallor of her face. "Why, of course." "Very toll, then I am going to tell you that you are very ill, very ill indeed, and that if you wish to get better you must do exactly what I tell you?and at once." "Yes. Yes, of course." ''Well?for the present I am not going to worry you with anything but just the simplest prescription, and in a week's time I will see yqu again. First of all, you will go away into the country." Her eyes dilated, and her hands gripped the cushions of either side of her. "The country??when?" "At once. To-morrow?if passible to-day, and when I #say country I mean the very heart of the country?a cottage on Dartmoor or in the Surrey hills, where there are no theatres or night clubs or picture houses. You will go to bed early?seven o'clock?and you will stay in bed till lunch-time every , .. -V'v ... *' r r> ii.. ' . <?' . ' ' r ? - TOWN day till I see you again. You will be allowed no visitors?except your aunt, of course?and you are to do nothing except read and sleep. You will not write letters or receive any?and you will sleep with your windows wide open. You will have the very simplest food and no alcohol at all except what I order. As I said before, if you carry out my instructions you will get well again, but if not?" He broke off, Diana had risen shakily to her feet. "I can't do that. I can't go away from London yet?not just yet. I will later on?perhaps next month, I promise. Can't you give me some medicine Just to go on with? I Dromise to take it regularly." "It's not medicine you warit. It's rest and sleep and quiet. Why can't you leave London? Surely it's not such an attractive place .'In this scorching heat? I only wish I were free to leave it. I do for every moment I can snatch. It's a poisonous place this weather, and to anyone in 3'our nervous state?" "I hate 'the country." "You hate the country?" He moved suddenly, laying a hand on her shoulder. "Bq a sensible child," |he jsaid gently. "Do as I tell you. Go right away for three months, and you'll come back a different being, able to enjoy life and laugh again." She raised passionate eyes to his face. "I'd rather die," she said, and he answered, suddenly grave: "You may even do tliat if you refuse to take my advice." Diana picked up her hat, which had fallen to the floor, and began to put it on, by force of habit hunting in her handbag first for a little mirror and the inevitable lipstick. "It's very kind of you, Dr. Selfe," she began with a return of her artificial air?the lipstick was giving her back her poise. "But?" He interrupted bluntly. "I am not Dr. Selfe. I thought the secretary had made that plain to j you. Dr. Selfe is away ill?I am: taking his place for the dime being. I My name is Rathbone." ''oh i" Sn this was not the "tOD man", how annoyed Aunt Florence would be, and yet Diana herself was conscious of relief. If he was not ithe "top man" it would account for the nonsense he had talked, of the way in which he had almost succeeded in frightening her; it had been most unprofessional when one came to think of it. She looked ^t him with different eyes. A big clumsy man, not a bit the orthodox Harley Street specialist; even his hair was rough, as if he had forgotten to brush it . . . she looked away from him quickly, meeting once again his piercing regard. The country! Ugh! Spiders and other nasty crawling things, and no hot water or soft beds. She drew on a glove. Rathbone said, "I hope very earnestly, Miss Gladwyn, that you will 'take my advise." "You are very kind." But she did not look up, andi it was he who held out his hand. She took it after the barest We represen Old Fi Casualty Comf Of Established A strength and | CITIZENS INSURAN R.

A little sigh escaped her?she had never known what it was to feel really secure, life had always been such a hectic scramble. "If you would care to come and see me again, later on . . ." he said, and hls voice was kind?the voice of a friend. ? Diana said with a sense of helplessness, "But I can't go to the country..... I hate it, and .';urely it cannot be good to do a thing one hsltes very much." "It's not possible to hate a thing you've never tried," this strange man said quietly, and then, "Do you know thafc line? " 'God made the country, and man made the town'?" "No." He released her hand. "Well, that's Just the difference," I he Said. j In the car Mrs. Gladwyn woke up sufficiently ito ask questions. (Continued Next Week) First Few Weeks Hard For Turkeys The first ten to twelve weeks ai!ter liatching Is the critical time with young turkeys. Once safely by this period the birds grow well and if given reasonable care will return a profit. "Eiaising poults is not so greatly different from raising chicls, except that more space is required for the young turkeys," says Bryan Nesbit of the State College poultry department. "Newly hatched poults do not learn to eat so early ifis baby chicks and few will begin to notice feec. until at least 36 hours old.l So instead of throwing the delicate poult a hunk of corn dough made witli clear Water and containing little food, give it a good palatable feed of chick starter or hare, boiled egg to which has been added part of the egg shell, finely pulverized, and a few corn bread crumbs. The hurik of dough is likely to upset digestion and cause a sour crop. ;The other kind of feed contains protein, carbohydrate and fat to compose a balanced ration." NCr. Nesbit says resistance to disease can be increased by breeding from strong, unrelated birds and by the use of good feeds arid good feeding methods. . The only insurance the turkey grower can take against blackhead is to keep the poults in partial confinement for the first ten or twelve weeks. As they grow older, they must have more space. The poi'table type of brooder house is best for poults and this house should bo placed in strictly fresh soil and moved every eight or ten trays, a ivw wue aruunu uic iiuu^e will keep the young turkeys from COSTIVENESS Confining indoor work?Vc* skillful work with the -I hands that does not include plenty of physical exercise for the body, often results Iri the bad feeling and unpleasant signs of faulty bowel movement.
