places the drop to the left was so steep that anything going over the edge woulg be smashed to pieces. The evenâ€" ing air was cool and clear, by degrees the cut on Dirk‘s head ceased bleeding, his giddiness passed, and he began to feel better. He rounded a great curve and sudâ€" denly caught sigsht of Lanyon‘s car. It was all of three miles ahead, a msre dot against the hillside up which it seemed to crawl like a fly up a wall. Dirk slacked up at once, He did not want Lanyon to suspect that anyone was after him. A few yards farthsr on with a mounâ€" tain ash hanging over the road, Dirk He got in the saddle and started on | again. It was no use trying to hurry. For one thing he was too shaky to ride fast and for another he could not risk ancther tumble. The thing was to plug along quietly and trust to being able, to find which way Lanyon had gone. ; Thkhe road kept curving away to the, west. It was just a track cut in the side | of the hill. There was no room anyâ€"| where for two cars to pass and in many or four minutes. That didn‘t werry him so much as his own shakiness, He was very giddy and bloog was still dripping from the cut over his eyves. But Dirk had in him much of the same good stuff that was in Peter. He knew that he was the only person on Lanyon‘s trail and the only cne likely to be on it for some time to come. No help could be expected for a long time. so whatever was to 3e done he had to do it.

He looked around in ‘the hope of seeing some house where he might find lhelp, but there was none. He was now in the heart of the hills, and the only dwelling in sight was a shepherd‘s ibothy perched far up the mountain to ;the left. No smoke rose from the chimâ€" ney and, even if Dirk could have reachâ€" ed it, the odds were that there was no one there. Again it came to him that all he could do was to keep Lanyon in sight, if possible, discover his destinaâ€" tion, then return for help. This trailing was no easy job. for Dirk dared not rids nearer to the chase than two miles. Even at that distance he was desperately afraid lest Lanâ€" yon‘s ears might catch the sharp bark of the exhaust which scunded startlingâ€" ly loud in the quiet evening air. The lonely road wound endlessly up hill and down. Once Dirk met another motor cyclist who seemed to be a tourâ€" ist, and he passed two elderly roadâ€" men on their way home. Those were the only human beings he saw in the next 20 miles. Then he cams in sight of a big lodge, but it stcod half a mile or more off the road, and he decided it was no use going there for help ‘s3eâ€" cause, by the tims he had found the ocwner and explained things, Lanyon woulq probably be out of reach. As it happened, it was lucky he did not stop for, asout a mile farther on, there were crossâ€"roads and Lanyon, inâ€" stead of kseping straight on, turned to and his speedometer flickered at 30 or over as he rattled up a long slope. At its head he again sighted Lanyon‘s car which was still keeping about the same lead. Dirk realized that he could easily overtake it and now began to wish that he had accepted Maggie‘s cifer of Donald‘s gun.

This was flattish country, sandy soil, heather on both sides of the road, and many Dirk got off and waited. He dared not start down the hill until Lanyon had got a long start for the pass that twisted downwards was all open. Yet now he felt a little more easy in his mind for the road ran in the direction of the inlet and, so far as he could see, there was no other road. Nor did there seem to be any way of crossing the inâ€" let. It began to seem as if Lanyon‘s desâ€" tination was somewhere in ths angle between the sea and the inlet, and Dirk trought this the more likely because of the utter desolation of this corner of Scotland. Certainly the fellow could find no better hiding place. The car vanished into a small wood in the distance and Dirk started down the pass.

It is because rheumatism cripples the patient and becomes "chronic‘ that so many patients try various forms of treatment often given under unskilled supervision. As the exsrcise and the amount of time spent in going to inâ€" stitutiors to get the joints "baked," massaged or exercised prevents many from receiving this form of treatment, it has been suggested that teams of rheumatism expertsâ€"physicians, nurses and those qualified to give physical therapyâ€"go among the local physicians and tsach this type of treatment.

It is most genserally agreed that inâ€" fscted tonsils stand at the top of the list as a cause of rheumatism in chilâ€" dren. It is therefore advised that the tonsils be removed in every child atâ€" tacked by rheumatism. Statistics show that the chilq who has had his tonâ€" sils out is less likely to have rheumatism and therefore serious heart complicaâ€" tions are less likely to develon. Further, even if no rheumatism atâ€" tacks have occurred, if there have been repeated attacks of tonsilitis, the tonâ€" sils should be removed.

The idea is now gensral that rheuâ€" matism is not a local disease of a cerâ€" tain joint, but that somewhere in the pody tissues something is causing the trouble and the organisms or substances responible for rheumatism simply go to the joint or joints and develop the inflammation (arthritis) in the joint.
