Fourth Installment At twenty-two the only thing Diana really desired was another woman's husband. A nervous wreck from the excitement and strain of London's gay life, she is taken by her aunt, Mrs. Gladwyn, to a famous specialist's office. The physician orders her to the country for a long rest. She rebels, but the doctor is handsome and sympathetic. She learns that he is not the great man himself but an assistant, Dr. Rathbone. "God made the country and man made the town," he tells her, and she agrees to go to a rural retreat. Before she leaves she goes to Dennis Waterman's flat, where they are surprised by Linda, Dennis's wife, who takes the situation quite calmly. "I suppose she wants you to marry her?" she asks Dennis. At the night club where she goes with Dennis, Diana collapses. She regains consciousness in a little country cottage, with a nurse, Miss Starling, bending over her. Dr. Rathbone's home was close by. Miss Starling told her. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY There was a little sound out in the road. A big car had drawn noiselessly up to the gate, and a man was getting out. A big man with a very unprofessional appearance—Rathbone. Diana made another effort to rise. He would be so angry with her. She heard his step on the path, then his voice talking to the maid. "Oh well I'll go up," then his step much." It was the first time she had really been polite to him. The Creature was a little skeptical about that promised Saturday drive: at least, she looked it, although she was too hatefully tactful (so Diana thought) to say anything. "You will have to see how much you can improve during the next three days," was her only comment. Diana knew quite well what she was thinking, and it made her all the more determined to be well enough to go with Rathbone. She made no more trouble about taking her food or medicine, and did everything she was told almost before she was told. On Thursday she received a letter from Dennis, telling her he had found out through Anna where she was and asking if she could see him. She forgot all about their last quarrel and told him to call some afternoon, when Miss Starling would be out. On Saturday Rathbone came at three o'clock. Diana heard his car come up to the gate, and her eyes grew bright with excitement. She was well enough now to feel that she was about to be taken out of prison; well enough to find the quietness of the little room rather trying; she listened eagerly for his step on the stair. She could hear him downstairs talking to Miss Starling. It seemed an eternity till he came up to her. "Well?" he said cheerily. "And how she watched the slow little clock on the man." Presently she dozed off with a start to find Jen agitated, standing beside "Oh miss—he's come know if I ought to wake "Bring his up. Wha wake me before? . . . right?" "You look a picture lied gallantly. Then Dennis came. For a moment Diansee him. She was blind and her heart beat so fast be thudding up in her her. Then the mists cleared him standing in the door at her with eyes than ashamed, half pitying, but the gladness was there little smothered cry Diana arms to him. "Dennis . . ." He came over to her in his arms. "Poor little girl . . . m girl. . . ." She clung to him, half weeping. He kissed her gently have kissed a child, be contented and lay still, with big eyes. "Look at me, Dennis—at me at all," she said. He raised his eyes wi cottage, with a nurse, Miss Starling, bending over her. Dr. Rathbone's home was close by. Miss Starling told her. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY There was a little sound out in the road. A big car had drawn noiselessly up to the gate, and a man was getting out. A big man with a very unprofessional appearance—Rathbone. Diana made another effort to rise. He would be so angry with her. She heard his step on the path, then his voice talking to the maid. "Oh, well, I'll go up—" then his step on the stairs. The Creature was not there, of course . . . and now he would be angry to find her out of bed. Not that she cared if he was angry: He was well Starling would be out. On Saturday Rathbone came at three o'clock. Diana heard his car come up to the gate, and her eyes grew bright with excitement. She was well enough now to feel that she was about to be taken out of prison; well enough to find the quietness of the little room rather trying; she listened eagerly for his step on the stair. She could hear him downstairs talking to Miss Starling. It seemed an eternity till he came up to her. "Well?" he said cheerily. "And how are we to-day?" She searched his face with eager eyes. "Are you going to take me out?" He laughed. "Didn't I promise? But paid to look after her. He ought to have sent word that he would be coming. Diana was trembling from head to foot as she clung to the window sill, her face turned to the door. Rathbone came in . . . he gave one glance at the bed before he saw her, and she broke out tearfully, "I was so tired of bed—I wanted to see what was outside . . . and I can't get back." He crossed the room in a stride and picked her up as if she had been a child, depositing her in bed and pulling the clothes over her. "How long have you been there?" "Only just before you came." "I told you to stay in bed. I told Miss Starling——" "She's gone out . . . she must go out sometimes," she added resentfully, for once defending the Creature. "Well, if you do it again you'll have to have two nurses. What would you have done if I hadn't come?" "Stayed there, I suppose," Diana whispered. He stood looking down at her unsmilingly let me look at you first." "I'm much, much better," she assured him earnestly. After she had been dressed, Rathbone lifted her gently in his arms—she was little more than a featherweight—and carefully carried her down the narrow staircase of the tiny house. The Creature was standing by the car—a different car to the one Diana had seen drive down the lane when Rathbone last came. "I'm going to drive you myself," he said as he carefully set her down on the seat of the car where pillows and rugs had already been methodically arranged by Miss Starling. "That means you're going to sit in front," Diana said disappointedly. "That's where the driver generally sits," he answered calmly. In less than half an hour they were back at the cottage, and Jenny greeted them at the door, her face all smiles, her eyes very knowing as she looked at Diana. "Have you enjoyed it, Miss?" she asked, and Diana answered: "It was arms to him. "Dennis . . ." He came over to her in his arms. "Poor little girl . . . my girl... . . . She clung to him, half weeping. He kissed her gently have kissed a child, but contented and lay still, with big eyes. "Look at me, Dennis—at me at all," she said. He raised his eyes wide. "I've been worrying Diana." She smiled. It was him say that. "You need not," she shall soon be back in Lo and quarrel with you. He turned his head and she said with a station, "Is anything the seem—strange, somehow the matter, Dennis?" "No. at least——" "Something is the main sisted. She tried to raise the effort was too much back, trembling and brew." You frighten me," she "You frighten me." He held her hand to a frail, white little hand. "There's nothing to about, my dear." He smiled her. "It's only—I've got for a little white—that's I had to see you before." Go-away? ... Where? "A long way, I'm afraid you will think though it's nothing America." "America—why?" "America is not so said, trying to speak chl only five days now—no." "How long will you be He shook his head." If you loved me you Do you think I want Yes, I do," she said My God, Diana, you! He walked away from window. He was wishin heart that he had not perhaps he had never lo as he did now, when e weak. Her brave att pretty for his sake crie heart for pity. He turned round. "I must go, Diana." She said nothing, she looking at him with t moved to sudden emotion up in his arms and kasionately. "Don't forget me, Diane There was no answer her lips, those poor lips, and he said, stung anger: "You think only of y the clothes over her. "How long have you been there?" "Only just before you came." "I told you to stay in bed. I told Miss Starling—" "She's gone out... she must go out sometimes," she added resentfully, for once defending the Creature. "Well, if you do it again you'll have to have two nurses. What would you have done if I hadn't come?" "Stayed there, I suppose," Diana whispered. He stood looking down at her unsmilingly. "Don't you want to get well?" he asked brusquely. Her lips moved, but no words came; her big eyes stared up at him mournfully. "If you don't want to get well, say so, and I won't come any more," he said ruthlessly. "But it seems a pity—a child like you. All your life before you—everything to look forward to." She spoke then, in trembling bitterness. "I hate my life... there isn't anything to look forward to. I don't care if I die... I suppose you've never wanted to die?" "I've never been very ill," he answered humorously. "And it's only when you feel ill and weak that you think it would be an easy way out if you died." "I suppose you think I'm very silly," she submitted. "I think you're going to be a very wise little girl and get well very quickly." "I'm so tired of lying here." He looked at her considerately. "Very well, I'll make another bargain with you. If you'll do as you're told—no getting out of bed or refusing to eat—when I come again I'll take you for a little ride in my car." "When will you come again?" she asked distrustfully. He laughed. "To-day is Wednesday—shall we say, Saturday?" "Will you promise?" "On my sacred word of honour." He stood up. "No more tears, mind." "No." He held out his hand. "Good-bye, for a little while." "You will come on Saturday?" "Yes." Diana gave a sigh. "Thank you very said as he carefully set her down on the seat of the car where pillows and rugs had already been methodically arranged by Miss Starling. "That means you're going to sit in front," Diana said disappointedly. "That's where the driver generally sits," he answered calmly. In less than half an hour they were back at the cottage, and Jenny greeted them at the door, her face all smiles, her eyes very knowing as she looked at Diana. "Have you enjoyed it, Miss?" she asked, and Diana answered: "It was such a little way—it was hardly worth going for." Rathbone laughed as he carried her upstairs again and set her down in an armchair. "That's base ingratitude," he said cheerfully. "And I've sacrificed my Saturday afternoon to you." She met the kindness of his eyes and relented a little. "Thank you for taking me," she said. She clung to his hand for a moment. "I'll come again soon," he promised. CHAPTER VI Monday was a glorious day. Diana woke with the throbbing sensation that something good was going to happen. Then she remembered Dennis was coming. She asked the Creature an anxious question. "How long have I been here?" "Nearly three weeks." It was a lifetime. Three weeks without once seeing Dennis! She hoped the Creature would not take it into her silly head to stay at home this afternoon. But the Creature went out. "I shall be back by elx," she told Diana, "and Jenny will give you your tea. Ring if you want anything." "I shan't want anything, thank you," Diana said, but as soon as she was sure Miss Starling was well away she rang the bell. Jenny appeared readily. "Did you ring, Miss?" Jenny always asked questions that were already answered. "Yes, Jenny, if a gentleman calls" —Jenny's smile widened—"show him up to me at once, please." Four o'clock—she had said half-past in her letter—it seemed an eternity as An outstanding exam solve a merchandising today's conditions is the campaign of chain stores fornia Fruit Growers e interest of increased grapefruit, which crop the past few years from 2,500 carloads annually and advertising feature over the months of A throughout 2,805 chains western states and west Steadily increasing new high quality seedle California and Arizona growers with a ma The California Fruit Grow is conducting sustained vertising on grapefruit papers, magazines, post car cards in principal Pacific Coast states. ANAHEIM GAZETTE TOWN ES she watched the slow hands of the little clock on the mantelshelf. Presently she dozed a little, awaking with a start to find Jenny, flushed and agitated, standing beside the bed. "Oh miss—he's come—and I didn't know if I ought to wake you." "Bring his up. Why didn't you wake me before? . . . Do I look all right?" "You look a picture, miss," Jenny lied gallantly. Then Dennis came. For a moment Diana could hardly see him. She was blind with emotion, and her heart beat so fast it seemed to be thudding up in her throat, choking her. Then the mists cleared, and she saw him standing in the doorway, looking at her with eyes that seemed half ashamed, half pitying, half glad! Yes, the gladness was there, and with a little smothered cry Diana held out her arms to him. "Dennis . . ." He came over to her and took her in his arms. "Poor little girl . . my poor little girl. . ." She clung to him, half laughing, half weeping. He kissed her gently as he might have kissed a child, but she seemed contented and lay still, looking at him with big eyes. "Look at me, Dennis—you don't look at me at all," she said. He raised his eyes with an effort. Lemon Growers To See Teague Ranch Orange County Men Gather at La Habra Saturday for Tour to Ventura County Lemon growers of Orange county are looking forward to visiting the Limonera ranch at Santa Paula on Saturday, April 9, to study methods of pruning, irrigation and fertilization of lemons employed by that ranch. The Limonera ranch, headed by C. C. Teague, president of the California Fruit Growers Exchange, is one of the largest citrus plantings in California. Opportunity to visit the ranch and study their cultural methods has been secured through the agricultural extension service and the citrus department of the farm bureau. Orange county growers interested will assemble at the La Habra Citrus association at 6:45 a.m., Saturday, April 9, and leave at 7:00 a.m. sharp. The tour will be under direction of Harold E. Wahlberg, farm advisor. The day's schedule will include the Sespe ranch, Del Mar ranch, Limonera ranch, and Beall orchards, where pruning, tree restoration, irrigation and fertilization methods will be observed. The group will return to Orange county the same day. All growers are invited to participate. Only Pass Autos On Right In City Motorists Who Pass On Right On Highway Are Breaking State Law E. Raymond Cato, chief of the California highway patrol this week reminded motorists that it is unlawful for any motor vehicle to pass upon the right side of another vehicle except ORDINANCE NO. 558 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM AMENDING SECTION 73 OF ORDINANCE 442. The City Council of the City of Anaheim do ordain as follows: That Section 73 of Ordinance 442 of the City of Anaheim be, and the same is her by amended to read as follows: Section 73. For any person, first or corporation engaging in the business of a "transient merchant" in the City of Anaheim, $5.00 per day. The words, "transient merchant," as used in this ordinance, shall be deemed to mean and include any person or persons either principal or agent, employer or employee, who engages in a temporary business in the City of Anaheim by selling or offering for sale, goods, wares, merchandise or things or articles of value, for a period of not more than ninety (90) days, and who, for the purpose of carrying on such business, hires, leases or occupies any room, building, structure or stand on any real property, or on or adjoining any street or public place in the City.

On Right In City Motorists Who Pass On Right On Highway Are Breaking State Law E. Raymond Cato, chief of the California highway patrol this week reminded motorists that it is unlawful for any motor vehicle to pass upon the right side of another vehicle except within the corporate limits of a city. Several severe wrecks have occurred in recent months because motorists have misinterpreted the meaning of the new law permitting passing to the right under certain conditions. Cato said. The new section of the law, which became effective last August, permits passing on the right in city streets having two or more parallel lines of traffic running in the same direction. Cato pointed out this section does not apply to highways outside the limits of cities no matter how many parallel lines of traffic run in the same direction. Wrecks have resulted in several cases where drivers attempting to pass to the right, have run their vehicles into soft dirt or sand and turned over.

He turned round. "I must go, Diana." She said nothing, she just lay there looking at him with tragic eyes, and moved to sudden emotion he lifted her up in his arms and kissed her passionately. "Don't forget me, Diana." There was no answering pressure in her lips, those poor little reddened lips, and he said, stung to unjustified anger: "You think only of yourself. If you had any thought for me you wouldn't be so hard." "I'm not hard," she whispered. His face grew sullen. "Good-bye, then." He walked out of the room without another word or glance, and Diana lay there, her face as white as the pillow, straining to hear the last sound of him... the very last sound of him. Then suddenly she came to life. She gave a little strangled cry and tried to get out of bed. "Dennis... come back!... Dennis!... Dennis!" Continued Next Week Grapefruit Sales Are Stressed by Sunkist An outstanding example of how to solve a merchandising problem under today's conditions is the cooperative campaign of chain stores and the California Fruit Growers exchange in the interest of increased sales of Sunkist grapefruit, which crop has increased in the past few years from 400 carloads to 2,500 carloads annually. Special sales and advertising features will extend over the months of April and May throughout 2,805 chain stores in 11 western states and western Canada. Steadily increasing production of a new high quality seedless grapefruit in California and Arizona has confronted the growers with a marketing problem. The California Fruit Growers Exchange is conducting sustained year-round advertising on grapefruit, using newspapers, magazines, posters and street car cards in principal markets of the Pacific Coast states.
