THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 160TH, 1930 THE HEROINE MARRIES Christabel‘s story really begins when she was twentyâ€"two. We soe hor then, leaning over the book in the voestry of Kensington Church, writing her maiden name for the last time, her eyes brilliant with innocence, her arms, clasping their lilies, still thin with youth in the white satin sleeves. She wasn‘t as beautiful then as she became later:; only very young. She was just like any other rather dreamy girl you might meet, who had not been happy at home, and had taken up nursâ€" inz because she wanted to "be of use in the world"; and then had met a young man, and had been carried away by her first experience of loveâ€"making, without givinz much thought to the ways and means of making a home. ways and means of making home.

Ssometimes she stopp:d to look for a meaning in so much rushing about to clubs and shows and races and parties, particularly as it always seemed diffiâ€" cult for Keith to pay for it all.

Sc she never found out what was the matter. But the rent was overdue, Keith had no people to help him, and they had to soll the furniture to pay 3ff his most pressing debts. Christabsl was expecting a . happy event, which did not look so happy, after all, in the cirecumstances. "We can‘t afford to keep pace with that crowd!" said Keith. â€" Christabel would not have minded being poor if Keith had not seemed to find it so intol>srable, if his bitterness had nct come to permeate their whole life. But debts, poverty, lost, friends. it was all nothing to her beside the fact that when the kaby came it died of pneumonia when it was six weeks old. The meaning went out of ew°1_\,thmg There was nothing left in life. It meant nothing to her that Keith used to come in more and more often with his friends "from the city," or that he liked her to try to look ‘as hough she liked their endless converâ€" sation about money and horses and shows, and sharp dealing when her head was aching, and her eyes wore weary with grief. She cecluld not forget the dead child. She dreamed of it every night,. She knew she could have loved it in the wholeâ€"hearted way in which she had not been able to love Keith after the b gea * * first illusion had gone. was the lack of fervour in her fecling for Keith perhaps, which put her more under his thumb than anyâ€" thing else. She was always trying to make up for it. If Keith said: "You look awfully tired lately! Wh)’ don‘t you put some of that blue shadâ€". ow on your eyes that soâ€"andâ€"so wears?" Christabel would do so; and put black on her syelashes and crimson on her nails, and wear over emphatic hats and frocks and try to look as sophistiâ€" â€"ated as Keith wanted her to beâ€"beâ€" caluse he liked it; and because after the baby died sh> would have aone anyâ€" thing to efface the real self under that makeâ€"up; a solf so painfully out of its clement that she only wished it buried as deep as her own dead child. ‘ KEITH FINDS A PATRON They had been married for three years when they came to know Henry Gorinz. Timid, conscientious, about €60, Henry had retired from civil serâ€" vice to live in the block of flats nexso to the Milsoms. His sister, a starchy old lady, kept house for him; and posâ€" sibly what they both valued most in life was the safelyâ€"invested â€" capital which enabled them to live in considerâ€" able comfort. Miss Goring friendship with first. "Thank you, but I very seldom gO out at night," Miss Goring would reâ€" ply coldly, when invited to go round with Henry. to Local Agent 46, connecting at North for travel on C an "The Northland." didn‘t like Henry‘s the Milsom‘s from the and Monday and Christabel tried to make friends, but she didn‘t realize that Miss Goring couldn‘t see through all the makeâ€"up that Keith liked, to the poor Christabel who dreamed and pined inside; whose sadness was ready to embracs the whole world. Henry often drifted into the flat, and Christabel ‘liked him so much better than Keith‘s other hardâ€"eyed frionds, because he was a simple soul. â€" And if Keith said some things about himse‘f to Henry that were not quite true, and liked to play the rising young city man before Henry Goring, she forgave him â€" where would marrxaoe be without such forgiveness? "He‘ll go. fa Henry Goring Besides how could she have had the | heart to attempt to deny anything Keith might say to make things look tetter? He was depressed and embitâ€" tered by not being able 0 get on. It would have been easier to be poor. really, if Keith hadn‘t sesemed to find . it so intolerable. | He had never managed to pay off the debts of their newâ€"married days. A dressmaker‘s bill came in, for twentyâ€" one pounds. Once in a momert of iffluence Keith had mads Christabel :taert the account and buy the things; h> had said he would pay in the folâ€" lowing month, but he had never aone so in all the months since. _ when it came with a threat to sue, he was very upset; he asid he would be ruined if anyone sued him just then, and suggested to Christabel that she should borrow the money from | Henry Goring. Afterwards she hardly knew how he persuaded her into it, was so shameful and unpleasant to her. But he said he would lose his job; scolded, sulked, and finally came home that night the worse for drink which he had taken apparently, on account of the ruin to come. _ Christabel wrcte to Henry Goring next morning; he was stayingz with his sister at Rognor. "Don‘t ‘say I can‘t pay; Just say you‘ve overâ€"spent your allowance and don‘t want me to know," said Keith. "But I can‘t say that! H21l think I am deceiving you!" "What does that matter? I don‘t care what you say, so long as you don‘t tell him I can‘t pay. The important thing is never to let people know that you‘re hard up!" There was another deadâ€"lock. Finally he swore h> would pay back the money out of his next commission, and she gave way. Henry sent her the money immediâ€" ately; it wasn‘t so bad after she had seen him again, for he was just his old. kind self, and one couldn‘t resent being grateful io him. "I‘m thinking of buying a house," said Henry Goring to the Milsom‘s about a month later. "Paying rent for a flat is like throwinz money down the drain. My sister and I think that if we bought a house that was likely to increase in value, we‘d be getting much more for our money." And it must have been a week aftor that that Keith said to Christabel: "I‘ll be able to give you that twencyâ€" one pounds for Henry in a day or two." It had been worrying her, and she was very much relieved; she had been collecting it out of the housekeeping, but that was so slow. She hardly beâ€" lieved him, but sure enough, in three days‘ time, he gave her the twentyâ€"one pounds in notes, and she was able to give them to Henry. She felt bad, thanking him as though Keith knew nothing about it. Th next thing was that Keith asked her casually: "I wonder if Henry has anyâ€" thing about getting a house?" "I don‘t think so Keith. I asked him the other day, and he said no." "I know of a house in Ealing. You can tell him. I can put him on to a good thing if he still wan‘s one." "Couldn‘t you 2" "No; it‘s much easier for you to menâ€" tion it to him. I‘ll be getting a comâ€" mission from West, the chap who owns it. if I sell it for him. You can so easily say to Henry house why n you?‘" "Of course not." That was how she came to menticn the house in Ealing to Henry Goring. COMMERCE AND CONFIDENCES It was a hot summer aftsrnoon, the sunlight streaming in on a bow! of wallflowers, the windows of the flat thrown open to the London garden. She was trying to bring the conversaâ€" tion round to the subject of the house, but she felt dull, and tired of helping Kâ€"ith. Instead, quite suddenly, she told Henry all about the baby and hnhow it had died. The tears rin down her cheeks and she seemed to be in winter again, to have entered the outer nisht behind the brightness of the sun and the brilliance of the summer day. Henry was a strange sort of person to tell; a man who had never been a father, and was old enough to be her own. But she had never told anyone beforeâ€"there had never been anyone possible to tell. And vet he seemed to understand, and AIT t he seemed to undersiand, anc yetter afterwards.

He had become very fond of her; perhaps she suggested the wife hs had never had, perhaps the daughtor. She told him straigh:forwardly the house, a minute or two afterwards. Keith knew of a man who had on for sale in Ealing. "I‘ll have a look at it, then, if Keith thinks it might be suitable," said Henâ€" ~When Keith came in from the city Chris:iabel told him what Henry had said. # Later he went out to buy some cigarâ€" ettes, and returned to say that "Mr. west," the owner of the house, was coming in for half an hour to talk it over. It was not until later that Chrisâ€" :ebel realized that Keith must have thing Mr. West from a call box instead of usinz the phone in the flat. Mr. West arrived. A very benignâ€" looking, whiteâ€"haired gentleman in sober black, with elasticâ€"sided boots and an umbrella. He» had a ribald spark in his eye, and and zes‘ful manner of drinking whisky, which went rather oddly with his scber attire. "I like to dao my best for the young people," he said, beaming on them, when Keith imentioned the house in Ealing. Christabel was out of the room cutâ€" | ting some sandwiches for them, and | she gathered that they talked of the | house while she was away, for Mr. West said to her when she came back: "Well, Mrs. Milsom, I shall be away . for a few daays, and your husband here will be at hisâ€"ahâ€"work! Soâ€"alhâ€" Mrs. Milsom, we thought that perhaps you would be the best person to take Mr. Goring out to see the property in Ealing one afterncoon!" "Certainly I will," said Christabel, Icooking a trifle surprised. "I know you want to help your husâ€" band in making a nice little: profitâ€"a nics little profit for yourself, tco, Mrs. Milsom! Point out to Mr. Goring what an excellent position the house is in so secluded, and yet only fifty yards from a new tub> station. And all in perfect repair! And the garden, Mrs. Milsom, the garden would be worth the monsy alone without the house! Perâ€" haps if you were to take Miss Goring as well, she might be attracted by the garden?" L L The Jhighway from Seattle to FPairbanks, Alaska, proposed as a joint Canadaâ€"U.S. effort, drew the ire of C. H. Cahan in the House of Commons when he hinted at U. S. military domination of the ;lt,â€"-â€"lts a beautifull place. But I have my house af Chalfont, and when I‘m 'in town I stay with my sister in Earl‘s |vourt She would move out there, you know. to Ealing; only her boy goes to a schcol nearby, and it would be too far for him to go in. Ask your good husâ€" band to pop in and see me, Mrs. Milâ€" som. and I‘ll let ycu have the keys." ' (‘To be continued) "She might come too," said Christabel adoub‘fully. Mr. West didn‘t press the point. "I would never be without a garden myself," he said, with a hopeful glance at the whisky bottle. Keith gave him some more. He seemâ€" d a little illâ€"atâ€"eass, as though he wantsd to ‘turn the conversation from the subject of the hous=. Christabel wonderedrif he felt a little ashamed of teing willing to take a commission on Then Henry Goring came round to fetch a mazazine. Christabel introâ€" duced him to Mr. West. Mr. Wess said he had an appointment, and rose to go, saving confidentially: "I hear these young people are going to show you that house of mine in Ealing!

As mentioned before, the reason that a great many users of the regular in« ‘sulin-now se the protamin® insulin is | because of "the simplicity and convenâ€" lience" of administoring protamine in« ‘sulin once a day instead of the usual ‘thrse times a day, which was not alâ€" | ways simple and convenient. _Why Mcre Diabetics Are Willing to Use Insulin "There are probably 70,000 more diaâ€" betics in this country using insulin toâ€" day than thore were a year ago and this is due to the discovery cof protaâ€" mine insulin by Dr. Hagedarn of Copenâ€" hagen.

T am quotinz Prof. E. P.

"No patient who began the treatâ€" ment of his diabetes with the new or protamine insulin has stopped except as ho no longer needed insulin. About half the aove patients take protamine insulin alone. and the other half use regular insulin and protamine insulin administered in soparate doses before breakfast." The idea of giving the regular insulin and also the protamine insulin is that the regular insulin works quickly and will take care of any starch foods eaten at breakfast time and the protamine insulin by working mote slowly will help take care of the starch foods saten throuzshout the entire day. There ar> many mild cases of diaâ€" betes who dislike the idsa of taking insulin thrse times a day despite the fact that it will prevent severe diaâ€" betes in the days to come. While thankful that 70,000 more diaâ€" betics are taking insulin this year than last, Dr. Joslin estimates that there are still on> or two hundred thousands perâ€" sons who ought to be persuaded to take insulin in the sarly stages of the discase.
