Phillipa Sset her jaw in a manner very of her father in one of his most obstinâ€" ate moods. "Well, T will tell you someâ€" thing. I have been tame and amenable for too long. For too long." Edward was puzzled. "You don‘t know what I mean," she‘ went on. â€" "But you weren‘t educated to be a lady." "Hardly!" "I am not trying to be funny. My people belong to a period that had strong tradition, which they would last for ever.. So, we younger Sandleys were kept in a special groove. You know very well what the result has been." She smiled, saying he was not very complimentary, whatever his intention. "There are plenty of idle women about, if that‘s what you mean. Anyhow, I don‘t intend to be one." "No, I don‘t,"‘ he replied. "I have to take you as I find you." "Well?" ‘"You‘re not unusual. There â€" are plenty of people cast in .«the same mould." "Whatever could you do?" asked Edâ€" ward, mildy surprised. "Some sort of training is reeded." ‘Whatever could I do?" she mimicked.

PRINCIPAL CHARACTERS SIR CHARLES STURTON, an enlightened landowner, previously in shipping, in which he made money which he now devotes to developing the Manor estates. He takes a great interest in JOHN MORRIS, son of the local garage proprietor,; whose wife was a daughter of a chauffeur once in Sir Charles‘ employ. John is a clever boy at school and after he wins a scholarship Sir Charles takes care of his education with a view to his becomning agent of the estates. Sturton‘s own son EDWARD STURTON has no particular interest in country life, preferring to study to become a aoctor. The two boys are firm friends and remain so during their period at Oxford. Also friendly with John is PATKICIA STURTON, though with her there is a hint of patronage. . Newâ€" comers to the district are ADMIRAL SANDLEY, whose views are rather feudal, his son COI\H_AD-.

And EFdward thought about it, and even more about Phillipa who obviously had "Some people have had that experiâ€" ence. Suppose we did? Is there any reéeason why I should regard myself as insulated from the trotubles of ordinary people? ‘Actually, there are a lot of useful things I could do very well if only I was put to it.

Has it occurred to you," Edward atked, "that if you went out to business, you would probably be doing somebody out of money she probably needs? Women face very keen competition. T some of the effects of that." "Competition is good in the long run," she retorted. "Like others. I should be obliged to hold my job on merit. Doesn‘t the same apply to you?" "‘Trueâ€"except that a doctor is one of those rare individuals who thinks more of helping his fellows than of making his fortune. That should be his ideal, and often is. H‘m! That sounds a little pious, but I hope it is true." "You‘re an idealist all right, Edward. W.hat is to prevent me having a similar notion of service?" ‘"Nothing, so far as I know." ‘"Men don‘t appreciate how women have been changing. They think our usefulness ends in being decorative, entertaining or soothing. Even your sister is kept in a glass case, in spite of having an enlightensd father and a brother who hasg had the courage to jursue his own bent." "Are you an exception to the general rule? Do most women think the same? Does Patricia?" Edward asked the questions wonderingly. She smiled. ‘I am afraid that in spite of being a doctor you haven‘t yet got an understanding of the general outlook of people and especially of women. I suppose it surprises you that a person like me, comfortably off, should hanker after a harder life?" ‘"You didn‘t answer my question about Pat," he remarked, avoiding her own inquiry. ‘No,1 did not. Patricia will probâ€" ably fill a niche in society and settle down cosily. Why not?" "I don‘t know. After all you‘ve said I imagine she, too, may have ideas."

Phillipa would have been amused. The last thing in the world she would have tried to do would be to attempt to wean Edward from his chosen work. She was happy in the thought of shar. ing in it . . happy at the prospect of breaking away from a cramping envirâ€" onment. of turning her back on an exâ€" istence that seemed sadly empty. "Would you like me to speak to her on the subject?" Mrs, Sandley inquired. "Not until they are safely married.‘" "Perhaps that is wise. There will be plenty of time. Edward perhaps, will be able to realize what he owes to his wife. And to his father." "And," ad. his children "Isn‘t . th ahead?" motives?" ‘"Why, of course not,â€" though there were your family estates, you know." "Ahem! Well looked after, my dear. And my training in the Service was by no means incompatible with handling subordinates left in charge." The wedding was fixed for the followâ€" ing October. As a concession the young people had agreed to submit to one of those functions, rich in pageantry, that the Sandley family regarded as fitting. This necessitated extensive shopping "Certainly not. And not because you know shorthand and typewriting, and French and Germanâ€"not, in fact, for any utilitarian reason whatsoever." And he kissed her eagerly to show that in essentials, this mating had the same foundation as any other. "Of course not, Edward darling.> less I loved you I should never have incited you to propose." â€""So that really is true, is it?"

Two _ wellâ€" connected young people, each with an acknowledged place in a wellâ€"defined social sphere, were to marry; that was very much as it should be,. Only the two persons chiefly concerned were unâ€" affected by these factors. What few doubts there were stirred only in the mind of Admiral Sandley, who thought the occasion almost ripe to wean Edâ€" ward away from "that confounded hobby"â€"meaning Edward‘s devotion to a medical career. Phillipa accepted. _ ‘"Providing," she qualified, "that I am ‘permitted really to be the wife of a busy doctor and not merely the mistress of his house." "I too, would want it dear." "Sheer waste of energy," he remarked to Mrs. Sandley. "Edward should be famifliarizing himself with the duties of a landowner." "You had no financial need to enter the Navy," she reminded him. "Thaft was very different. In the service of the country . . ." "Yes, dear!" "I trust you do not question my Before finishing his holiday, Edward proposed. Nobody was more surprised than himself. A fortnight previously he had not dreamed of doing any such thing. He had always been conscious of her attractions, and lately she had seemed to cast a spell over him.. But he told himself, it was the revelation of her active mind and her progressive outlook that drew him, even more than her physical charms and her sympathe= tic nature. "You don‘t thing. do you, that I am only accepting as a means of escape from my pressnt environment?" Long ago he had decided he liked her very much for hersolf, John Morris had actually twitted him with being "smitten," whatever that might signify. Was he falling in love with Phillipa in the ageâ€"old manner? . That was something Edward was unable to decide. During his stay in the vicinity he took to calling more often at The Grange. Such visits were encouraged by the Admiral and Mrs. Sandley. The Sturâ€" tons might have peculiar notions, but they were wealthy and stood well in the county. One day Edward would inheret the estates, Quile a good match in fact, if there were anything in it, and Mrs. Sandley felt sure she wasn‘t misâ€" taken. The usual signs were there. Strange, that one of the exclusive Sandleys <hould strike him as the first desirable helpmate with whom he had come into contact. No, he must not cay "helpmate" Phillipa would Coâ€"operator.

For this course there was a measure of subtlety. Lady Eldrick could have found them accommodation | but that would have provided too many | opportunities for intimate conversation ; between Diana and Phillipa. Mrs. fandley thought itwiser to restrigt such occasions. Mrs. Sandley sighed but made no comment. She seldom ventured away from the country of late, but for such an important event she deemed it her duty to act as constant compaion and guide. She was convinced that her aid in shopping was indispensible. For all that, the sisters met freâ€" quently, as was inevitable. Mrs. Sandâ€" ley then went to great pains to ensure that they were not left alone at such times She made a point of being preâ€" sent, clucking like a motherly hen and flattered herelf that she was doing exâ€" cellently, At avoiding inconvenient situations she was certainly an expert. But Sir Charles. like everyone elss, was uneasy. The air was heavy with foreboding, oppressive as in a stifling calm before a thunderstorm that is due to break at any instant. sUBSTITUTE FOR PARIS Instead of going abroad Phillipa made her purchases in London. Trips might still be made to France. though travelâ€" lers never felt entirely confident of a normal raturn. ‘"You won‘t be too disappointed, my dear," Mrs. Sandley had said. "After all we had looked forward to, a mere West End expedition is somewhat of an antiâ€"climax." ‘"London is every scrap as gooc Paris for shopping. ® Better for s things.

Let us hope it does not come to anything serious." ‘"Don‘t take it to heart," she advised. "Everything will blow over eventually. Daddy thinks so, and I always have a great regard for his opinion. After all, last year we had a scare, and it came to nothing." It was so Joan Barton he spoke. The lively daughter of the Vicar was pleaâ€" sant company. In addition she was taking quite a keen interest in rural matters. John‘s enlistment in the local battery of Terfitorial artilléery made every day more fully: occupied. With his work and training to be a gunner, there were few idle moments. As in everything else he threw himself enthusiastically into amateur soldiering, had his first stripe in almost a record time, and when he was promoted sergeant there was not one of his comrades who did not regard the success as a worthy reâ€" ward for intensive study and applied industry. ‘"Not that I altogether approve," Sir Charles told him. "I know it sets a splendid example, and all that. Yet we have to consider the importance of farming as a national service. Supâ€" pose, for instance, we had gseneral moâ€" bilization? What would happen to the estate?" "Nothing of the sort. My methods are obsolete.. You have all the science at your finger tips." Events, however, were to intervene which would make that journey inâ€" appropriate. Six months ago the proâ€" mise of European peace had appeared assured. A sabre had been rattled in its serabbard and then slipped back inâ€" to rest, only to be withdrawn again, menacing and ruthless. "It upset all my harvesting arrangeâ€" ments," he retorted. "And for all that, I notice you have joined the A. R. P. organization." "You would be able to carry on adeâ€" quately, sir." "With all the youngish men going into the Territorials, and this compulâ€" sory : training act, one must do some hard thinking," he said. "No doubt it is necessary, but the authoritiee must understand that in case of any trouble we shall have all our work cut out proâ€" viding food and produce." "My motto is ‘Be I used to be in the Girl Guides! . . ." ‘"Thanks for the hint." "What hint?" "About being prepared. If all th» other young men are going into miliâ€" tary training. I am overdue." There was talk of war on everybody‘s lips.. Even in the quietude of the country the distant beating of drums could be faintly heard. Uniforms, so seldom seem for two decades, made their more frequent appearance. With the introduction of the Militia there were unexpecteéd. difficulties for John Morris to contend with. "Unfortunately, Darling, you are not," she said lightly. "But I inteond to educate you!" "Maybe! Anyhow, I expect thc French visit will be quite nice." "That wouldn‘t bother them, my dear. Few of them ever pay. Let them enjoy the fuss. Pretty weddings don‘t come every day. If I am judge of femiâ€" ninlty :. ;::."

The death of the young lady occurred quite unex= pectedly, she having been taken ill with acute appendicitis and removed to the Mines hospital at Cobalt where she passed away on Wednesday evening, July 1l6th, at about ten o‘clock. An operation had been performed in the hope of saving the young lady‘s life but all medical skill proved unavailing.
