"What, then?". Her contempt cut like a lash. "Merely a common thief?" She turned to him as they walked. "And you " she said, choking back her fury. "What are youâ€"a spy?" "A spy?" His voice was a shout of seorn. Her feet flagged on the track. She almost forgot what she had come out for in her impu‘se to run away to take the shattered remnants of her pride beyond further damage. She forced herself to go on beside him. "My dear girl, you meant me to stern in my juice! You think because you‘â€" ve got a pretty face, charming clothes, too much money, and a few relatives in ,Who‘s Who ‘"‘ that you can do things for which any man would get his jaw broken!" ‘"I don‘t!" "Well, I wasn‘t worried. You know, you‘ve a pretty face and figure, and all thatâ€"but it‘s not enough.

Lorna was seeing the landscape through a red haze. She shrank inwardly, for the shaft went home. She had things to be ashamed about, too. The cold proâ€" test was forced from her against her pride : "No!" smid Hawksford. "In addiâ€" tion to that, you‘re a terrible little ‘"You‘d better keep out of this, from every point of view. Don‘t say I led you into it!" It was almost a confession! She glanced at him, and went on climbing doggedly. They came to the top of the hill in silence, and bush gave place to grass on which sheep were grazing among clumps of shrubs and white stones wore ssattered about. The track ran faintly towards more beeches further on. #If you‘re not, I. am!" he. said. "Ashamed to have done it. You may have no principles, but I have, and I‘m squeamish.

She made no reply. was coiâ€" scious of nothing but a grim deterâ€" mination to se the thing through, and bring him to justice if she could. 6 We merely went for a walk. I‘m sorry you didn‘t like waiting." When he drew back, his face was suddenly white, and his eyts were dark with anger. Hawksford‘s face was still hard. He broke the silence suddenly, saying: "Well, aren‘t you ashamed to have given way to your impulses like that?" He turned and strode away from her, on up the hillside, and she found herself looking at his retreating !igâ€" ure, Her scattered wits collected themselves in a storm of shame and rage, How could she have let him? How had she let that hatcful attracâ€" tion he had for her betray her so? And now he was going, going to his rendezvous at Gulliver‘s Bay! She set her teeth. and ran on after him. She came panting up beside him. He had lighted a cigarette, ana his brown hand was trembling. "Aren‘t you going back?" he jibed. "I‘m going with you," sh> replied, her quivering lips set hard with deâ€" termination. without letting go of her, and kissed her breathless lips. "No!" cried Lorna, gasping.

So that was what he thought of She looked innocently at his‘ ‘pr°â€" occupied face. "Very well," she said, me°kly. He turned from her and. walked out on to the shore again, turning south in the direction of the boav. She climbed on to the rocks so that she could sea over the top of them. He strode quickly along the shing‘e, "Wait for you here. and if you don‘t come back, go home?" she repeated his words*calmly, but with a vast inâ€" ward derision. Did he think she was quite so stuâ€" pid? Was that how he had intended to get rid of her at the crucial momâ€" ent? Had someone come in that boa‘ to collect the mformatlon he had brought, and were they waiting â€" for him somewhere along the shore. They were out of sight out of the boat, behind the tumbled boulders fallen from the cliff face. "But why? ITI‘d like toâ€"" ‘"Doesn‘t matter what you‘d like. Sit here, behind this rock. Do as I say, please. Wait for mss here, and i1{f I don‘t come back in about five minâ€" utes, go home!"

He didn‘t speak, he had moved round and was looking at the bow of the boat. She looked too, and saw the name in black letters: "M. 8. Yama Maru." He glanced to right and left, and sh> could see that every nerve in him was tense. She looked eagerly at the boat as they came to it.

Failure to pasteurize milk results in disease and death. Health authorities have known this for many years; amd still much milk sold tor human consumption is not pasteurized It seems that health authorities have not acted because political leadâ€" ers have been powerless ow‘ng to the imfluence of uninformeqgd votrers. Some interested or ignorant groups with votes are always ready to Goppose this great lifeâ€"snving measure and they are suffcient in number to influencs political opinion. Until something is done to cireumvent this illâ€"formed and selfish vote, it will be hard â€"to pass legislation in the eight provinces which still lack it. However, Henry Wallace should havse used the term "pasteurized milk" inâ€" stead of just "milk" because milk unâ€" pasiteurized may convey disease. It is known that milk can casily carry the germs oi tuberculosis, typhoid and paraâ€"typhoid fever, undulant fever, diphteria, scarlet fever and septic sore throat. Besides it has been noticsd that when pasteurization is effectively established, infant mortality rates imâ€" mediately drop. Pasteurization of Milk "Health" the official organ of the Health League of Canada in past vyears has paid a great deal of attenâ€" tion to the question of pasteurizaâ€" tion of milk because if all milk were pasteurized mortality and disability rates; would be greatly reduced. Milk, recognized as the finest of foods, should ‘be an essential in the diet of everyone. Henry Wallace, when Viceâ€" President of th United States, said in a famous speech, a few years ago, that every child in America should have a quart of milk a day. Were this objective achieved, the effect on the stature and health of children would be remarkable. ‘"Well, what do you intend to do, if that‘s your idea?
