Externaliy it remained to ail appearâ€" ances a wood and meadow. encircled grey and stateily home of England. Within it had acquired modern conâ€" veniences. The good taste and practiâ€" cal ideas of Sarah Gifford, plus the expert architectural counsels of Ronald Graffham, had produced the des1red results.~ _ <| Lady Agatha, who had been the first paying guest, had been known to leave hotel proprletoxs andstafis in a state of nervous exhaustion. When she left Cullwyn Hall for Scotland, "just worry some rela,tmns,” as she frankly admitted, she bade Sarah a farewell which can fairly. be called affectionate Stuart Benson endorsed grimly her reaâ€" son for going north. "Thank goodness it‘s not us she‘s goâ€" ing to worry," he confided to Sarah.

"We had better make for the Barracks." This was a reference to a dismantled grey stone building said to have been erected as a precaution against a threatened Ngpoleonic invasion. ‘Withâ€" in a few minutes they had covered the short distance and were in shelter. So the three set off together, but the storm was too quick for them. Torâ€" rents of rain fell with a suddenness that was bewildering, and Sarah found herself staggering between the two men with a wild, primitive feminine longâ€" ing to hold on to them for actual physiâ€" cal support. Stuart Benson was deliberating whetâ€" her he might offer her his arm when he was forestalled by "The Thruster." ‘"This is too tough for you, Miss Gifâ€" ford," Harry Hearn was saying with a frank and engaging smile, while poor Stuart was"still weighing the pros and cons: "Allow me to help," and ‘he ofâ€" fered his arm with a gesture at once gallant, commanding, and in some subâ€" tle fashion all his own, submissive. Sarah accepted with what grace she could muster. She was feeling intenseâ€" ly annoyed with Stuart for his stupidâ€" ity, though she knew in her heart it was just his usual chivalrous diffidence. The fury of the storm seemed bent on proving that what was bad could be worse. The force of the wind and rain was such that the three struggling figâ€" ures found themselves being tossed about. wildly as they plunged forward. ONE WOMAN: TWO MEN The invitation was given with such cordiality that it would have been churâ€" lish to refuse, especially as The House on the Hill was not fifteen minutes‘ walk distant, whereas Cullwyn Hall could only be gained by a long detour. "I don‘t know if you people were makâ€" ing for the Headland, but if you‘ll take the advice of an old seaâ€"faring man you‘ll give up the idea. (Why not come along to my place for a change?" soon, however, the wind gathered such force as to threaten a gale, and it became impossible to be sure of mainâ€" taining one‘s equilibrium on the cliff edge. of the village. His travels had given him a poise which his quick brain took full advantage of. Sarah was glad to have such an imâ€" personal topicâ€"forâ€" impersonal it still seemed in those days. She found herâ€" self talking easily and without embarâ€" assment to this handsome man whom she remembered asia dark, sombre lad "‘Fraid you‘re rightâ€"in more senses than one," Stuart agreed. Even on this lonely coast in ‘rugged Cornwall, any clemental passions were politely eschewâ€" ed under cover of talk concerning the most elemental of them allâ€"WAR. The wide bay looked bleak and desoâ€" late; the lowering sky showed no break of sunlight. Suddenly, they perceived anpther figure making towards them from the direction of the headland which was their immediate goal. Simâ€" ultaneously they â€" recognized Harry Hearn, whom Sarah had continued stuâ€" diously to avoid. This time there was no means of doing so. Indeed as Hearn came up to them he‘ bowed to her with an odd air of grace, and spoke with an almost braggart assurance. "I‘ve been up as far as the Headland, but there‘s a mighty breeze coming up," he said easily. :"It looks like a storm is brewing." Unfortunately there appeared clouds on the horizon.. Cullwyn Hall remained tranquil, and this corner of Cornwall celiciously isolated, but it caught the feeling of disquiet abroad in the world, and heard rumours of war. And on this afternoon as Sarah and Stuart strolled along the cliffs, nature herself seemed to reflect the tension. have made the venture a success." This was good hearing for Stuart. It heightened his hopes of one day ‘being able to claim Sarah Gifford for his own. He had been a more or less constant visitor at Cullwyn Hall during his Aunt Aggie‘s extended stay there; at first aking the excuse of paying duty visits, and afterwards not troubling to offer an excuse. So that he had continued a regular caller when Lady Crowsworth lad ceased to be a paying guest.

A smell of burning was stingingly in their nostrils A rush for the door, which, fung open, revealed thick smoke blacking out the staircase and filling the great central well of the old Hall. . It was at this moment, when all else In a few seconds pandemonium reigned. | ; « But toâ€"night, Mrs Webster‘s nervousâ€" ness managed to communicate itself to Sarah. She went to a french window giving on to the terrace from the libâ€" rary.. As she did so, a sinister fork of lightning startled her so that she made a hasty backward movement, knocking over a precious Ming vase which had been in the family for many generaâ€" tions. Even as she gazed on it in almost superstiticus horror, the thunder crashâ€" edu ominously no longer out at sea, but here, at her door. Mrs. Webster â€"became alarmed. Sarah remained standing pertified, looking down at the broken vase as though it had contained all she held dear. The two women, statuesque in the immobility of fear, were joined by others, guests and staff running instineâ€" tively to find the mistress of the house, who for once was unable to cope with the situation. Then it happened. In the split second following a partiâ€" cularly vicious stab of lightning, a crashing, tearing noise caused all the occupants of the room to cower in terâ€" ror. The scene might have‘ been a proâ€" phetic vision of The Battle of Britain. Now, however, it was the timeless enemy of mankindâ€"Nature â€" which struck Sarah and her household to their The room, which a few minutes beâ€" fore had been quiet ‘and shadowed, seemed to have some uncanny attracâ€" tion for the lightning which darted in and out bewteen terrific thunderâ€"claps. Mrs. Webster had come to be looked upon as almost a "resident" at Cullwyn Hall, to which she had come as paying guest through a friend of a friend of Lady Crowsworth. So the good work went on, and Sarah was well content. "Oh, dear, Miss Gifford, it sounds as if the storm‘s coming back. I do hope not." "So do I, Mrs. Webster," Sarah ansâ€" wered, "though at least I shan‘t be out in it this time if it does!" A sullen calm succeeded the gale of the afternoon. As evening fell, thunder was heard, distant but threatening. It sounded ominous to the guests in Cullâ€" wyn Hall. â€" "Of course, Mr. Hearn, I shall be delighted," she returned formally, and then before either of the men was aware of her intention, she slipped through a gap in the hedge separating her own meadowland from that of Harâ€" ry Hearn which they had just reached and with a wave of the hand she had The stilted phraseology which he had rdopted at first in a halfâ€"unconscious miimickery of the very correct Mr. Benâ€" son seemed now to come naturally to him when addressing this lovely and gracious woman. ‘"But I‘ll be obliged if you‘ll let me go through your meadows.

When we consider the facts regarding the feeding of the millions of people of this little island, we see that, because so much of ‘the food needed must cross treacherous waters, her food and health ministries have used much thought and wisdom in the selection, and distribution of "less" food than before the war. Yet: the results of the use of less food has improved ‘the health of all classes. ,\ ' The establishment of cafeterias in the many war industrial plants by perâ€" _ mitting workers to obtain a nourishing meat at low cost during the working day, has preserved the health of the workers and helped,.maintain producâ€" ‘tion as well. The whole population has benefitted from the general use of enriched or whole grain bread. Diabetics are permitted extra rations of meat, bacon, cheese, and fats but at the same time they are required to give up ‘their sugar rations to the govâ€" ernment.

As mentioned before, diawbetics are "superâ€" for intelligent citizens‘"*â€"~whocan conâ€"â€" tribute much during and after the war. It is thus not only a humane but a wise economic act to preserve the lives of diabetics by these extra food proâ€" visions. . m "Several other measures have hélped.
